Silence descended upon the scene as his words fell.
He wanted to... challenge all the Captains?!
No, not wanted to.
He was challenging all the Captains!
For a moment, a sense of absurdity welled up in everyone's hearts.
They were the Captains of the Gotei 13, the most powerful beings in the entire Soul Society, among all Shinigami!
Any single Captain held a lofty and almost invincible position in the Soul Society.
Let alone challenging all the Captains, even challenging a single Captain was something that hadn't happened for a very, very long time.
That's why they felt a sense of absurdity.
But soon, this absurdity faded.
Because they realized that this seemingly absurd thing didn't seem absurd at all.
This mysterious person before them seemed to truly have the qualifications to do such a thing.
"Didn't you want to know my purpose? This is my purpose. So, come on, let me have a satisfying battle, an exhilarating battle!"
Hui continued, his gaze fixed directly on Captain Yamamoto.
Yamamoto was also looking at Hui. He saw the fighting spirit and excitement in Hui's eyes, and also the domineering aura.
He knew that this battle was inevitable.
This seemingly harmless, even exquisitely beautiful human who could easily inspire goodwill, possessed an undeniable and imperious dominance within.
Sharp.
Below.
"As you wish."
Yamamoto spoke.
Hearing this, the other Captains were slightly startled, then their expressions turned serious.
Each held their Zanpakutō, their gazes towards Hui becoming sharper.
The atmosphere grew heavy.
So heavy that it seemed to materialize, even the sky darkened, as if a heavy rain was imminent.
But no one moved. They were all gathering momentum, searching for the best opportunity to strike.
Hui smiled, releasing his hold on Kenpachi.
The next moment, Kenpachi on the ground soared into the sky, his Zanpakutō carrying terrifying power as he slashed towards Hui with ferocity.
It was at this moment that the other Captains also made their moves.
They didn't attack casually as they usually would. Facing the mysterious and powerful Hui, even the proud Captains couldn't help but go all out.
In an instant, various powers manifested, colorful and dazzling.
Red fire, blue ice coalesced.
Pink cherry blossoms fell amidst the red and blue.
Sharp swords, murderous auras swept across.
These various powers converged into a multicolored torrent, dangerous yet beautiful.
If it were any other Shinigami in the Soul Society who were facing this torrent from the Captains, they would probably be pissing their pants right now.
However, Hui was different. During the previous moment, he had already condensed a terrifying sword energy.
Now, with a sudden swing of his sword, a silver river rose into the sky, vast and boundless.
When these two terrifying forces collided, the silver light and the multicolored torrent instantly transformed into the most dazzling white.
The white light formed a sphere, then abruptly exploded.
A terrifying shockwave swept out, accompanied by a fierce howling wind.
The ground was filled with flying sand and rocks, and the clouds in the sky churned violently.
The Shinigami in the Soul Society looked at the dazzling light in the distance, their faces drastically changing, their minds shaken.
"Such terrifying spiritual pressure, such terrifying power! What kind of beings are fighting? Are the Captains in a desperate battle?"
A Shinigami couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling slightly.
"I don't know, but such terrifying pressure must be beyond the strength of a captain!"
An elderly Shinigami spoke in a seemingly calm tone, but the shock in his eyes couldn't be contained.
Because he had never witnessed such a terrifying scene in the entirety of his life.
Not to mention him, even Aizen and the other two, who were in the midst of escaping, couldn't help but stop, looking at the distant light in silence.
"It seems a battle has erupted there. Truly... a terrifying human."
Gin spoke, glancing sideways to see Aizen's grim expression.
Indeed, Aizen was in a very bad mood at the moment.
He was a man confident to the point of arrogance, otherwise he wouldn't have said, "There's no one in our way."
All along, Aizen had been in control of everything, and everything he did was successful.
However, just now, his confidence had been completely shattered.
He was defeated by his own specialty.
He, who controlled others' five senses with Kyōka Suigetsu, immersing them in illusions, had actually exposed himself within someone else's illusion.
This was not only a defeat but also a slap in the face.
And it was a slap in the face he couldn't resist, nor did he have the confidence to resist.
Even now, Aizen didn't dare to go back and watch this battle.
If Hui had used other means to defeat him, without breaking his Kyōka Suigetsu, then he might have really sneaked back, waited for Hui and the Captains to both suffer losses, and then taken them all out in one fell swoop.
However, what Hui used to defeat him was an illusion.
Hui had broken his Kyōka Suigetsu!
When the power of Kyōka Suigetsu was broken, Aizen's confidence also shattered.
"Let's go, let's get the Hōgyoku."
But even though his heart was turbulent, Aizen still didn't lose his composure, his tone only slightly colder.
Kyōka Suigetsu had been broken, so if he wanted revenge, he could only rely on the Hōgyoku.
Gin and Kaname, upon hearing this, didn't speak anymore and followed Aizen towards the Human World.
They really needed the Hōgyoku now.
Because from today onwards, their enemy was no longer just Hui, but the entire Soul Society.
The light dissipated.
Whether it was Hui or the Captains, they were no longer in their original positions but had retreated a long distance.
After all, they were just at the center of the energy collision.
If they hadn't possessed considerable defensive means, they would have been severely injured under that impact.
"Good, very good! This is what makes a battle interesting.
"However, you still haven't gone all out, have you? Are you looking down on me right now?"
Hui's voice reached the ears of the Captains, causing their hearts to sink further.
They looked up to see Hui standing in the distance, seemingly unharmed.
Clearly, the previous attack hadn't caused him much trouble.
Although this was partly because they hadn't gone all out, they hadn't forgotten that Hui had also directly countered their attack without using that attack-nullifying ability.
"Truly a powerful human. In my long years, I have never encountered someone as powerful as you."
Yamamoto looked at Hui and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
This mysterious human was terrifyingly strong.
"Continue. This battle has just begun."
As Hui spoke, he charged towards the Captains.
Compared to long-range energy collisions, close-quarters sword fights were much more exciting.
The previous sword battle with Kenpachi had almost satisfied him, but not quite.
Now, with so many Captains gathered here, Hui wouldn't let go of such a rare opportunity.
He wanted to use these master swordsmen to test his own swordsmanship.
