Chapter 637 - 637 The Backstab of Justice!

Step—!

Aizen's figure slowly descended to the ground. He casually glanced at Kisuke and the other three lying around him, then paid them no further attention.

Aizen knew that Kisuke and the two were not truly dead, only severely injured and unconscious. But this was a trivial matter to Aizen, and he had no interest in finishing them off.

Because Kisuke and the two could not pose any threat to him. The only one who could truly threaten him was the one person he regarded as an equal enemy… Hitsugaya Toshiro.

So, after sensing where Toshiro's Reiatsu was located, Aizen left Kisuke and the three behind and walked without hesitation towards Toshiro's location.

Kisuke and the others could not threaten him, so Aizen could let them go without concern. But Toshiro had to die!

In Aizen's eyes, Toshiro was a man skilled at creating miracles, able to turn danger into safety no matter what difficult situation he faced.

So even though he had already defeated Toshiro, Aizen could not be completely at ease. After all, Toshiro might recover at any moment and hinder his plans.

Only by witnessing Toshiro's death with his own eyes could Aizen be at ease.

Whoosh!

As Aizen was walking, Gin's figure suddenly appeared, following behind him.

"Oh dear, oh dear, as expected of Captain Aizen. Once you get serious, Urahara Kisuke and the others are no match for you at all, unable to block even a single blow," Gin said with a squint and a smile, looking completely loyal.

"No, there is nothing praiseworthy about this. Urahara Kisuke and his ilk are mere trifles. Defeating them in one blow is only normal..." Aizen said indifferently.

Having said that, Aizen suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gin: "Come to think of it... Gin, you seemed to be quite enjoying the show just now."

"No, no, no, I wasn't deliberately standing by. I just never had a chance to act. I can't beat Captain-Commander Yamamoto or Hitsugaya Toshiro. And with Urahara Kisuke, and the others, you seemed quite interested in them, so I didn't want to interfere. So from start to finish, I never found an opportunity to act and could only watch from the sidelines..." Gin quickly waved his hand to explain.

"...Well, I'll let it slide this time..."

Aizen gave his own lackey a deep look, then let it go. After all, this lackey was currently his only one. Even if this only lackey could betray him at any time and stab him in the back.

But Aizen didn't mind this. On the contrary, he was very interested in when Gin would betray him and how.

Then Aizen continued walking towards where Toshiro's Reiatsu was. Gin followed closely behind, occasionally making conversation, and Aizen responded intermittently.

Finally, after walking for a while, Aizen reached his destination. Toshiro's figure appeared before Aizen again.

Next to a collapsed building, Toshiro was leaning back against Unohana, still unconscious. Unohana was applying Kaido to Toshiro in her arms, treating his injuries.

Seeing Aizen and Gin arrive, Unohana carefully laid Toshiro's body against the wall of a nearby building. Then she stood up calmly and looked at Aizen.

"Since you've come here, it means Isshin and the others have already failed. But... if you want to harm Captain Hitsugaya, you'll have to step over my dead body!" Unohana drew her Zanpakuto and said with determination. And judging by her calm expression, she seemed prepared to sacrifice herself.

Seeing Unohana's unyielding stance, Aizen couldn't help but frown slightly.

Unohana was not easy to deal with. Her strength was even greater than Kisuke and Isshin, possessing the power to threaten the Demi-God level. Normally, Aizen wouldn't take her seriously. But now, Aizen's condition was not very good.

In his previous battle with Toshiro, although Aizen had evolved under the fear of death and ultimately gained great power to defeat Toshiro, he was actually quite injured.

Moreover, Toshiro's ice-cold power was very troublesome. Even with the Hogyoku, Aizen's injuries could not fully recover in a short time.

After that, Aizen had 'played around' with Kisuke and the others. Although their strength hadn't injured Aizen, it had caused some consumption. At the very least, Aizen hadn't had time to use the Hogyoku to recover from his injuries.

So, in short, Aizen's injuries had not yet healed. If a strong fighter of Unohana's level fought him to the death, although she still couldn't defeat Aizen, she could worsen his injuries.

'Well, forget it. To avoid any accidents, I'll use Kyoka Suigetsu's complete hypnosis ability,' Aizen thought to himself.

To defeat Unohana effortlessly, Aizen ultimately decided to use Kyoka Suigetsu's complete hypnosis ability against her.

In fact, after entering the second state of Hogyoku fusion and greatly increasing his power, Aizen had decided to use complete hypnosis, this 'opportunistic' fighting style, as little as possible. After all, this fighting style was hardly honorable or upright.

Although Aizen was someone who stopped at nothing to achieve his goals, since he already had the power to crush everything, why bother using 'opportunistic' means?

Thus, in his second state of Hogyoku fusion, there were only two types of people for whom Aizen would use Kyoka Suigetsu's hypnosis ability: those 'too weak' and those too strong. For those 'too weak', like Kisuke and the others, Aizen didn't mind fighting them head-on.

For those too strong, like Unohana, Aizen was prepared to use Kyoka Suigetsu's complete hypnosis ability to avoid affecting his injuries.

Clang—!

Aizen's Zanpakuto was drawn again, about to use complete hypnosis to manipulate Unohana's five senses.

"Wait a moment!" Gin, standing nearby, suddenly spoke.

Hearing Gin's words, Aizen involuntarily paused.

Then Gin stepped forward, placing his left hand on Aizen's Zanpakuto: "Captain Aizen, to make up for my mistake of standing by earlier, let me handle Captain Unohana. Captain Aizen, you just go ahead and kill Hitsugaya Toshiro..."

A look of surprise appeared on Aizen's face. Then he said: "Gin..."

Whoosh!

Before Aizen could finish, in the blink of an eye, a blade of lightning-fast speed suddenly thrust out from under Gin's wide sleeve, piercing through Aizen's chest.
