Bleach My days as an Espada

In Hueco Mundo, the sky remains clear with the sun radiating its brilliance. The apex over the Night Palace was constructed long ago to guarantee that the domain beneath doesn't perpetually reside in darkness.

In the lab situated behind the throne room, Aizen had removed his glasses and adjusted his hairstyle, donning a white uniform akin to that of the Espada, resembling a sovereign.

In essence, the present Aizen Sōsuke is his true self. It has been over ten days since Kurosaki Ichigo and his allies made their incursion into the Soul Society, where they returned with Aizen in Hueco Mundo.

Their primary objective at this moment is to merge the Hōgyoku they created with the one crafted by Urahara Kisuke.

This scenario provided both the human realm and the Soul Society a rare respite. Ultimately, after enduring such turmoil, the Soul Society has lost three captain-class fighters while acquiring three additional adversaries.

Concurrently, with Central 46's demise instigated by Aizen, the responsibilities for managing the various incidents within the Soul Society have fallen squarely on Gotei 13 captain Yamamoto Genryūsai, leaving him no bandwidth to deal with Aizen's matters.

However, the Supervisory Bureau of the 12th Division consistently monitors for any abnormal Reiatsu in the Human world, given that Hollow Reiatsu diverges from that of Shinigami or humans.

The moment their Reiatsu becomes apparent, it will be promptly detected. Holding a glass of red wine, Aizen savored it elegantly, while Ichimaru Gin and Tousen Kaname observed the continual conflict between Kurosaki Ichigo and Byakuya Kuchiki.

In short, they were eager to witness the frenzied display of Kurosaki Ichigo's Hollow form.

"Hmm~ Fiander sourced this red wine from the human realm, and it's genuinely delightful, wouldn't you agree, Captain Aizen? " Ichimaru Gin remarked, placing his wine glass down gently.

"There are times I ponder if he's truly a Hollow. He may not be human, yet he seems to enjoy living like one," Tousen Kaname chimed in, immediately agreeing.

"Fiander is quite an exceptional ally, wouldn't you agree? His adjutant mentioned that this red wine was specially procured by Fiander for preservation purposes decades ago," Aizen noted, suddenly turning his attention to the mask worn by Kurosaki Ichigo.

"I find myself thoroughly captivated by this young man."

"Even though I've witnessed it multiple times, upon closer examination. . . " Tousen Kaname paused the footage and magnified Kurosaki Ichigo's mask, remarking, "Doesn't it seem reminiscent? "

"You mean. . . Hollow. . . White. . . " Aizen's expression turned serious as he responded, "What a remarkable phenomenon. Utilizing the emptiness generated by Shinigami's soul, I chose to transmit it to the Quincy, ultimately manifesting in the descendants of that Quincy. "

"I want to understand the depth of the hollow within him. Let Ulquiorra go and confront Kurosaki Ichigo directly. It's best to allow him to assess the circumstances. "

" Fiander is currently in the human realm; wouldn't it be easier to send him instead? " Ichimaru Gin suggested a different option.

"That won't work; he has a different purpose. It's more advantageous for us to have him observe the happenings in the human realm. However, Gin, you should inform him that if there are any further developments, he should lend Ulquiorra a hand. "

"Understood! Captain Aizen. . . " Having acknowledged the directive, Ichimaru Gin turned and exited the chamber.

"I'm eager to see how this unfolds, Kurosaki Ichigo. " Aizen grinned as he watched the video of Kurosaki Ichigo, who was laughing maniacally and carelessly, already deeply hollowed out while his eyes shimmered with excitement.

After all, it's unlike forcibly merging a Hollow's essence into a Shinigami's soul. This entity has emerged organically and possesses multiple ancestral lines.

In the human realm, within a park in Karakura Town, an object plummeted from the sky, striking the ground and forming a vast crater.

"Ah-ah—" Yammy exhaled heavily, sensed the sparse spiritual presence nearby, and grumbled, "When I was a low-ranking hollow, I came here a few times, and it's still dull. "

"The spirit energy is so weak that it's a struggle to breathe. I can't fathom why that fool Fiander prefers to linger in this place. "

"I already mentioned that I would handle this alone and didn't require any assistance, yet you insisted on tagging along, Yammy, so quit your complaining. "

"Yes, sorry. "

After receiving Ulquiorra's rebuke, Yammy folded his arms and exited the pit with an irritated demeanor. Upon glancing up, he noticed numerous humans gathering around him.

"A meteor? "

"Why can't I see it? "

"What just fell? "

"Let's get a closer look! "

"It's probably best not to approach; it feels off! "

The prior explosion likely drew many ordinary humans, but they were devoid of any spiritual pressure and were unable to perceive Ulquiorra and Yammy.

"These humans have the audacity to come near us so casually without any spiritual power. " Yammy, in a foul mood, felt like an animal on display, and although the humans couldn't see him, their presence infuriated him as a notable Espada.

"Uh-ha—" Yammy gaped wide, drawing in the souls of countless ordinary people within several kilometers.

Under Yammy's terrifying pull, numerous ordinary lives were extinguished quickly.

"This level of Reiatsu? Who on earth is it? " Kurosaki Ichigo, Inoue, Sado, and others, now back in the human realm, sensed Yammy's malevolent Reiatsu.

Simultaneously, the Soul Society verified the presence of Reiatsu in the human realm and promptly dispatched personnel to respond.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was at home, transformed into a Shinigami and sprinted toward the park. Inoue and Sado, being the closest, arrived there ahead of him.

After finishing a meal, Yammy rubbed his stomach and grumbled, "Well, that was quite unappetizing; why not return and consume the soul of a Menos Grande? "

"Naturally, how could these feeble souls be appealing? " Ulquiorra stepped forward and remarked.

To the Hollows, the absence of spiritual energy renders beings akin to mere stones and gravel lying on a roadside, making them hard to consume.

"However, since these individuals lack spiritual energy and cannot perceive us, they remain oblivious to your presence. " Ulquiorra, being a potent individual, looked down on the notion of stooping to attack the weak.

"It doesn't matter; how many people are we set to eliminate this time? " Yammy had accompanied Ulquiorra impulsively, unaware of the mission Aizen had assigned to Ulquiorra.

"Just one; there is no necessity to kill additional individuals. "

Upon learning that the task involved only eliminating one target, Yammy expressed his irritation:

"Huh? In this crowded mass of insects, we're only going after one person? How are we supposed to locate them? "

"I was informed by Aizen-sama that in this realm, there should be no more than three individuals possessing significant Reiatsu. The rest are merely worthless, so finding him will be straightforward. "

Ulquiorra abruptly noticed, after Yammy had recently absorbed souls, that there was still one individual in the nearby crowd. This person was Arisawa Tatsuki, a classmate of Kurosaki Ichigo and others, who possessed a minimal amount of spiritual energy.

If she had interacted with Rukia Kuchiki for a little longer, she might have realized her Fullbring ability, similar to Sado and the others.

"It's surprising that there are still some living souls. " Following Ulquiorra's gaze, Yammy observed the frail "worm" curled up on the ground, appearing sluggish. It was evident that his attempt to absorb her soul had failed, resulting in mental distress that left her immobilized.
