From the prototype, immortal

However, Aizen's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

He seemed to have not taken Hyoshubu Ichibei's threat seriously at all, and continued to move towards the direction of the Soul King's inner palace with a calm attitude.

This disregard was undoubtedly a great provocation to Hyoshubu Ichibei's dignity, and it instantly ignited the latter's anger.

"What an arrogant guy!"

Hyoshubu Ichibei shouted angrily, and then used his unique skill - "Thousand Miles to the Sky Palm".

A powerful force surged out of his body and gathered into a huge palm, which was so large that it seemed to cover the sky and the sun.

This palm, with the momentum of destroying the world, slapped Aizen's back.

However, at the moment when this force was about to touch Aizen, a more powerful invisible force suddenly burst out from Aizen's body and collided head-on with the "Thousand Miles to the Sky Palm".

The two forces collided with each other, and the shock wave generated made the surrounding space tremble, but what was shocking was that the power released by Aizen easily defeated Hyoshubu Ichibei's "Thousand Miles of Heaven Palm".

This scene not only stunned everyone present, but also made Hyoshubu Ichibei himself feel unprecedented shock.

"How is this possible?!"

Hyoshubu Ichibei muttered to himself in disbelief.

Hyoshubu Ichibei is the actual spokesperson of the Zero Division and the strongest existence in the Zero Division.

As a god of death whose age is equal to the history of Soul Society, Hyoshubu named everything in Soul Society, so how did he get his own name?

Did he name himself?

Of course not, Hyoshubu Ichibei's name was given by the Soul King!

In the original work, Hyoshubu Ichibei explained:

The name I got from the Soul King is "True Name Calling Monk", written as "Calling True Name".

I got the name of this Zanpakutō, as well as the Shikai and Bankai. I was the one who first named everything in Soul Society. From the moment Wang Yue's Shōdachi was handed over to the Shinigami, I knew the names of all the Zanpakutō.

The monk mentioned an important piece of information when explaining to Renji: the name I got from the Soul King was "Real Name Calling Monk".

If the "Bleach" manga is the main story, the setting given by Kubo Tite is that the Soul King is named Hyōshūbu Ichibei. Then in the official novel "Can't Fear Your Own World", there is another setting: Hyōshūbu Ichibei is named Soul King.

The time setting of this official novel is after the end of the Thousand Year Blood War.

At this time, the Soul King is dead, and his body has been absorbed by Yhwach. The world without the "wedge" will collapse at any time. The Soul King Palace urgently needs a new "Soul King", and this carrier is "Yhwach".

In the Blood Battle, Youha, who absorbed the Soul King, was killed by Kurosaki Ichigo with one sword. Although the corpse was not left in the manga, the "corpse" of Youhabach was forcibly collected in the novel and named "Soul King" by Hyoshubu Ichibei.

In the manga, the Soul King gave Hyoshubu Ichibei a name, and Hyoshubu gained "the power contained in the name".

In the official novel, Hyoshubu Ichibei named the corpse of Youhabach, making him the new Soul King, and the "corpse" gained "the power contained in the name" because of the naming.

For Hyoshubu Ichibei, everything named by him has a power that surpasses everything, because this is the power of the Soul King!

Now, it was so easily resolved by Aizen, which is not only a denial of his strength, but also a shake of his faith.

"You are indeed... an unusual existence."

A complex emotion flashed in Hyoshubu Ichibei's eyes, with shock, confusion, and a little appreciation.

After all, for him, the more Soul King candidates, the better. Aizen looks good, and can even be said to be the closest to the Soul King candidate now. Hyoshubu Ichibei suspects that he may be able to replace the Soul King if he sits directly.

"But even so, I will never let you move forward."

Before the Soul King has problems, anyone who dares to approach is his enemy.

"Sure enough... I can only kill you."

Hyoshubu Ichibei's mouth curled up a strange smile, and as his words fell, his figure rushed forward like a ghost, and the pen knife in his hand drew a gorgeous arc in the air, pointing directly at Aizen's head.

Aizen still ignored Hyoshubu Ichibei.

Seeing this, Hyoshubu Ichibei was not discouraged, but the smile on his mouth became even stronger.

"You ignored my attack, just as I expected."

"My sword is called 'Ichimonji'. It can cut the name but not the flesh. When it touches the opponent, it can not only inflict heavy damage, but also deprive the opponent of part of his name, thereby weakening his power."

Ichibei Hyoshubu explained slowly, his voice echoing in the empty battlefield, and it was particularly clear.

As he spoke, the light on the pen knife became more and more dazzling, as if it was really going to split Aizen's name in two.

However, just when the pen knife was about to touch Aizen, something strange happened.

Aizen's body suddenly erupted with an unprecedented powerful force, which was a terrifying pressure that surpassed the boundary between the god of death and the hollow, surging like a vast ocean, and instantly enveloped Ichibei Hyoshubu.

This power was so strong that even the air seemed to solidify, making people suffocate.

Ichibei Hyoshubu's face suddenly changed. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He tried to struggle, but found that his body was so small in front of this power that he couldn't move at all.

"What kind of power is this?!"

Ichibei Hyoshubu was horrified. He had never seen such a terrifying power. Even when facing the most powerful hollow or death god, he had never felt such powerlessness.

At this moment, he felt a cold chill coming from his neck. It was a strange feeling close to death, which made the hairs on his body stand up.

He suddenly realized that he had been locked by Aizen and became a turtle in a jar.

"It's ridiculous, Ichibei Hyoshubu."

Aizen's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Do you think you can hurt me with just your ability? You are wrong. My power has long exceeded the scope of what you can understand."

Ichibei Hyoshubu gritted his teeth. He knew that he was on the verge of life and death.

He couldn't just give up, so he used all his strength to raise the pen knife in his hand high, and shouted with his last bit of strength: "Really fight!"

With this shout, the light on the pen knife reached an unprecedented brightness, as if it was going to illuminate the entire battlefield.
