Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1155 It’s very simple, I just need to speed up
Unlike opponents who rely on complicated moves or strange abilities, Ulquiorra's fighting philosophy is simple and pure - to increase his speed and spiritual pressure to the extreme, and to crush all obstacles in the most direct and violent way.

Each attack was simple and direct, yet unstoppable, like a violent storm that made it difficult for Ichigo Kurosaki to resist.

His hands were like the scythe of the god of death, and every swing was accompanied by a pale green thunder spear. It was not only a physical attack, but also a shock and destruction to the enemy's soul.

The sky was covered with dark clouds because of his anger, and the riotous spiritual pressure stirred the entire Xuye Palace, as if even the heaven and earth changed color.

When Ulquiorra stood in the center of the battlefield with a Thunder Spear in each hand, his domineering aura forced Ichigo Kurosaki to admit that he might have really met an opponent that he could not easily defeat.

Ulquiorra's speed was so fast that every dodge and counterattack of his was extremely accurate, as if he had already seen through all of Kurosaki Ichigo's moves.

Even the seemingly indestructible world-devouring power seemed powerless in front of Ulquiorra.

Whenever Ichigo Kurosaki tried to devour his Thunder Spear, Ulquiorra would always dodge with amazing speed, followed by a fatal counterattack, stabbing the Thunder Spear into Ichigo Kurosaki's body.

The terrifying speed brought unstoppable force. The power that devours the world needs time to devour Ulquiorra's Thunder Spear. This process is extremely short for others, and they have no time to react at all. But in Ulquiorra's eyes, it is enough for him to launch a violent attack on Kurosaki Ichigo hundreds or thousands of times.

Speed ​​is power!

Aizen was looking at Ulquiorra Cifer with an almost obsessive look. The latter was undergoing an unprecedented transformation - the Second Stage of Transformation.

This scene not only shocked everyone present, but also made Aizen's heart surge with indescribable excitement and anticipation.

Even with Aizen's knowledge, he had to admit that this power had touched upon something beyond the ordinary.

"Ninth Stage Return to Blade..." Aizen murmured in a low voice, each word containing a deep meaning.

"Just like Bankai is to the God of Death, it is the ultimate release of power and the proof of self-transcendence. Ulquiorra, you really gave me a surprise."

Gin Ichimaru stood aside, his arms crossed over his chest, his fox-like eyes showing both surprise and worry.

He thought to himself: "Is this the true function of the Hougyoku? It allows the already powerful Ulquiorra to go even further and reach an unprecedented level."

"Lord Aizen, you always surprise me."

There was a hint of amusement in Ichimaru Gin's tone.

"But I'm still curious, why is Ulquiorra so different?"

Aizen did not look at Gin Ichimaru, but spoke slowly to himself: "Gin, you ask me why? Then let me tell you. Ulquiorra is the only one of the two Espada who can open his own Arrancar. This means that his power is not given by the outside world, but comes from the awakening and transformation deep in his heart. The Hogyoku only opened the door to a higher realm for him, but it did not change his nature as a strong man."

Upon hearing this, Ichimaru Gin frowned slightly, and was obviously very interested in the concept of "only two": "Who is the other one?"

"It's Stark."

Aizen Sosuke looked in one direction, and his perception of spiritual pressure allowed him to feel Stark's presence.

"Stark, he is another self-made Arrancar, Vastod. Even I am in awe of Stark's power. His spiritual pressure is strong enough to crush any Hollow that approaches, but in order to get rid of the curse of loneliness, he made an amazing decision - split his soul in two, thus creating a partner to balance the excessive power." At this point, Aizen's tone revealed a trace of regret: "However, this choice also made him pay a price. After the return to the sword, although the two souls will be re-fused, his strength is far from his peak. I was confused by this, until I saw Ulquiorra's second stage of the return to the sword, I understood - Stark, perhaps also mastered such power, but he was limited by his own choice and could not fully release it."

Ichimaru Gin listened quietly, but his heart was in turmoil.

He knew Aizen's ambitions well and understood his own position in the game.

But he knew better that no matter how perfect Aizen's plan was, there would always be a hint of uncertainty that no force could fully control.

For example, the current Kurosaki Ichigo has already surpassed Aizen's control over him!
"Lord Aizen, you are always so confident."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Ichimaru Gin's voice.

"But have you ever thought that loneliness is not just for the strong, it can also be a cage for the weak. Stark chose another path, perhaps because he saw the other side of loneliness."

Aizen smiled slightly, and in that smile he expressed both his approval of Gin Ichimaru's understanding and his persistence in his own beliefs: "Gin, you and I may have different understandings of what it means to be strong. But I believe that the road to the top is bound to be lonely. Only by abandoning all shackles can one be fearless of any challenge and ultimately reach the supreme throne."

As Aizen's words fell, the aura around him condensed again, as if countless forces were surging in his body and were about to explode.

There was a fanatical light flashing in his eyes, which was a desire for power and an infinite longing for the future.

"And I, Aizen Sosuke, am destined to become the king who stands in the sky and overlooks all living beings."

After Aizen finished speaking, the Hogyoku in front of his chest began to glow, as if it was resonating with Aizen.

"Once I have completed the reorganization of my soul, I will be able to break free from the shackles of the soul and transcend everything."

Ichigo Kurosaki was once suppressed by Ulquiorra and had no power to fight back.

But Stark and Bylergan were not careless, because it happened before, they suppressed Ichigo Kurosaki, and then Ichigo Kurosaki exploded and crushed them in turn.

Even though Ulquiorra is very strong and incredibly fast, can't Ichigo Kurosaki surpass him?

The answer is naturally——

Ichigo Kurosaki faces Ulquiorra's speed that surpasses everything, and neither escape nor head-on confrontation is a long-term solution.

He must find a completely new method that can compete with or even surpass it.

So, he began to try to speed up the flow of spiritual power in his body, speed up the awakening of his combat consciousness, and speed up his understanding and mastery of combat skills.

This acceleration is not only physical, but also a leap in mind and will.
