In Bleach as Gilgamesh

Chapter 56 - The True Power!

On the throne of Vimana, there are ten exquisite gems storing magical energy.

Previously, the True Name Release of the Caladbolg consumed two of these magic gems, while Gungnir's True Name Release just now consumed four.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Gungnir's True Name Release only requires four magic gems. Instead, Gilgamesh chose to stop after consuming four gems, causing Gungnir to be undercharged and not display its full power.

To be precise, what just happened can only be considered a pseudo True Name Release of Gungnir.

After all, Gilgamesh's goal is to conquer Aizen, not to kill him outright.

Gungnir, when thrown, possesses the characteristics of piercing and certain hit, which is why Aizen couldn't escape it no matter how he used Shunpo.

However, this also indirectly highlights Aizen's immense strength. If it were Gin or Tōsen, they wouldn't have been able to withstand Gungnir. They would have been pierced through directly.

Of course, Aizen, Gin, and Tōsen aren't aware of these details, but through Gungnir's display, they can glimpse its terrifying power.

An incantation-complete Bakudō #81: Dankū, a chantless Bakudō #81: Dankū, plus chantless Bakudō #63: Sajo Sabaku and Bakudō #79: Kuyō Shibari— all executed by Aizen Sōsuke—still couldn't fully block Gungnir, which ended up piercing Aizen's abdomen.

Tōsen muttered in disbelief, "Gungnir, the power of this spear is terrifying."

At this moment, Aizen's calm demeanor faltered. Only by facing Gungnir personally could one comprehend the horror of the spear.

Now, Aizen started to believe that Gungnir might indeed be the Spear of Destiny wielded by Odin in Norse mythology. When facing Gungnir, the sense of being locked in, unable to escape, felt like confronting an inevitable fate that couldn't be altered.

Decades ago, the former Captain of the 12th Division, Kirio Hikifune, was promoted to the Royal Guard. It was then that Aizen learned about the existence of the Royal Guard and the Spirit King, fundamentally altering his worldview and understanding.

He despised the predetermined fate, developed an intense aversion to following the Spirit King, and saw the Spirit King's existence as a sin. He desired to become the new ruler, surpassing the limitations of a Shinigami.

To obtain such power, Aizen conducted experiments, collecting the souls of hundreds of Shinigami and individuals in Rukongai with Shinigami potential. Using the Spirit King's fragment acquired from Rangiku Matsumoto, he created a prototype Hōgyoku.

Initially, Aizen thought everything would proceed according to his plan—he would perfect the Hōgyoku, gain power surpassing the Shinigami, and replace the Spirit King as the new deity.

But Gilgamesh's appearance disrupted his plans.

Gilgamesh's existence defied logic and was too strange. Despite having weak spiritual pressure, he could ignore Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu, and his weapons, though devoid of spiritual pressure, were terrifyingly powerful.

Aizen couldn't understand it, and it brought a rare feeling of anxiety.

Watching Gilgamesh hold Gungnir again, Aizen took a deep breath.

To Aizen, artifacts as powerful as Gungnir should have usage limits and couldn't be used indefinitely.

However, Aizen wouldn't gamble on this limit, nor would he sit idly by. He wanted to seize control.

A mere fate, daring to dictate his life!

If he couldn't avoid it, he'd break through it forcefully!

Aizen's inner roar coincided with his spiritual pressure exploding outward.

At that moment, in the eyes of Gin, Tōsen, and Yoruichi, it seemed as though the entire Hueco Mundo trembled and lamented under Aizen's spiritual pressure.

The intensity of this spiritual pressure was overwhelming!

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo's Las Noches.

Sitting on the bone throne, wearing a golden crown, the ruler of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan Louisenbairn, felt the spiritual pressure and his skeletal face turned grim.

Currently, Baraggan was still in his ancient Hollow form, not yet evolved into the human-like Arrancar seen in the original storyline.

To Baraggan, this spiritual pressure was a provocation, and he growled angrily, "A mere Shinigami dares to cause trouble in my territory. Seeking death!"

With that, Baraggan vanished from his throne, intending to crush the source of the spiritual pressure and demonstrate his authority as the ruler of Hueco Mundo.

Simultaneously, Baraggan's spiritual pressure erupted, competing with Aizen's and even suppressing it slightly.

Under the clash of these two spiritual pressures, Gin and Tōsen, both Captain-level Shinigami, found their breathing labored under the unprecedented pressure.

Gin and Tōsen, familiar with Hueco Mundo, recognized the owner of the spiritual pressure and grew wary. If that individual joined the fray, the situation would become even more complicated.

Yoruichi's gaze fixed on the direction of Baraggan's spiritual pressure, her pupils dilating in shock. She hadn't expected a Hollow in Hueco Mundo to possess such terrifying spiritual pressure. Quickly, she seemed to recall something and said, "This spiritual pressure surpasses Captain-level Shinigami. It's definitely a Vasto Lorde, and not just any Vasto Lorde!"

Aizen's expression remained unchanged; he was aware of Baraggan's existence. In fact, he had deliberately provoked Baraggan to involve him in the battle.

To break the known fate, not only was powerful strength needed but also as many variables as possible.

In his perception, not only was Baraggan moving towards the battlefield, but other Hollows in Hueco Mundo were also converging.

Under the omniscient gaze of the Omniscient Star, Gilgamesh saw through Aizen's thoughts.

Ignoring the clash of spiritual pressures, Gilgamesh's gaze shifted towards Baraggan's spiritual pressure and said, "Aizen Sōsuke, do you want to witness the true power of Gungnir?"

Aizen froze at his words, then his face changed drastically.
