(it have come to my attention that a lot of u are just reading and going away without leaving any power stones 😒😒😒, so am gonna say this only once 🔫 🗡 stop right there and hand over the stones NOW, or else 😡 😡 😡)
After entering the portal he was immediately alarmed by how fast one of the spheres was coming towards him, or to be more accurate, how fast he was rushing towards it, right after coming to that realization he came to a halt right before smashing into it.
Due to the previous white and black spaces being all the same with no change no matter how fast or far he was going he didn't realize just how fast he really is, but now that he had some points of reference it dawned on him.
'Phew, that was close' sighting in relief he looked around and then moved back a bit further from the orb he almost rammed into, before coming to stop right where he was.
Immediately after deciding to enter this unfamiliar dimension, he braced himself for whatever surprises might come up and as he stood in his place now observing everything around him and within him, he discovered that, 'It's the same as the previous two.'
It was the same as in the previous two dimensions, in fact, if he didn't see the coloured sphere floating all around him he would have thought he was in a similar dimension as the other two.
Seeing that nothing was happening he first checked if he could go back to the previous dimensions, and after trying, two portals appeared in front of him one leading to white space and the other to total darkness.
After confirming that he can go back at any time he sighed in relief and decided to risk it and do the only thing he could right now and approach one of the spheres.
And so slowly (which was still pretty fast by. Normal standards) and steadily this time he approached the sphere he almost rammed into previously until they were almost touching, but, there was still no change whatsoever.
(AN: I've been switching between calling them spaces and dimensions but it's the same thing so Don't get confused)
'Sigh, it seems I'll either have to go all the way or start getting used to living in this place.' Sighing in his head he steeled his resolve and made his decision and so he rushed at the multicolored sphere that was the same size as him with no care for the consequences, immediately after diving inside it he lost his vision.
*************
When he finally regained his vision he was shocked beyond words, because he found himself floating above a place that he knew all too well.
"NEW YORK!??" That's what he would have screamed if he had a body right now but
sadly he could only think about it, nonetheless, he was overwhelmed with happiness, 'I am i back home!?.'
But after he observed for a bit longer he noticed something different about this New York compared to the one from his past life, it was in a mess.
All around the places there were collapsed buildings, bodies straw everywhere, people moaning and screaming in pain while some who were still healthy enough to stand were running away from what appeared to be explosions in the distance.
Seeing this scene his heart ached, this was not the ninja world, where killing and slaughter were the norms, this was the world he grew up and lived in, and those dead people were his people, this was his world and his city, anyone who saw the place he grew up in being reduced to this state would feel like that and he was no different.
But he was not an inexperienced person, he was a war-hardened veteran so before long he calmed down and regained his bearings which allowed him to analyze his situation more calmly.
"Looking" into the distance where the sound of the explosions came from, his head immediately went blank receiving another shock more than the one from before.
In the distant sky he could see a portal with a blue light on its edges, on the other side of it there was empty space and through it, an army of aliens was constantly coming in.
This was a very familiar scene to Aizen or in fact, it would be a very familiar scene to any other person from his previous world, 'the New York invasion!?, Marvel!?.' These were the words that came into his mind as he watched what was happening before him.
After floating there for a while he decided to go and have a closer look so he moved and instantly the familiar look of New York was gone from his vision, replaced by the darkness of empty space with stars shining in the distance.
'Wha…' he thought, stopping himself and looking behind him to where he came from but there was nothing there except the emptiness of space.
'Just how fast am I moving!!!.' he thought shocked and frustrated as he started getting anxious wanting to go back "home", even though he knew by now it wasn't really his home but it was the closest thing to it that he knew of.
'F*ck how am I going to go back now.' he thought as he calmed down, something he seemed to be doing fast now due to all the shocking things he experienced recently and his years in the military.
'Sigh, if only I Could teleport bac…..' and immediately after he sighed and thought about that his vision changed, he was back to where he was previously.
'Oh, so I can also teleport in my soul form!?, neat.' he thought not even shocked or surprised anymore due to all the ridiculous stuff that happened recently.
So "looking" above him at the portal he willed himself to teleport just a little bit below it and right after he disappeared from where he was and appeared there.
As he appeared in the place he wanted he noticed something about himself or to be more precise about his soul, 'i seem to be getting weaker and dizzy, and it isn't just because I am teleporting, it happened the instant I appeared here.'
Thinking about it for a bit he came to a conclusion that he thought was mostly right, 'i can't exist in a physical plane as a soul for long, either I have to occupy a body, dead or alive, or, I have to go back from where I came from, makes sense i guess.'
To confirm his theory he checked the chakra stored in his soul and he noticed that it was shrinking at a barely noticeable pace,' What will happen when I'm completely out of it?, will I die? or will I be kicked out from here?.' he thought calmly.
It might have seemed like he was wasting time by thinking all of that but in truth barely a fraction of a second had passed, looking down below him he saw what he was looking for.
A suit of armour in the shape of a man flying around shooting laser beams and missiles.
A big green guy jumped from building to building destroying whatever came his way.
A guy holding a hammer shooting lighting that killed aliens in groups.
A woman and a man fighting side by side with a gun and bow and arrows respectively.
And lastly a guy with a shield that seemed to defy the laws of physics and come back to its owner's hands whenever it was thrown.
But as he looked down what caught his attention was none of this, it was actually a normal male human that was shot in the head by one of the aliens, his brain matter spreading all over the place, or at least that's what everyone saw.
In Aizen's vision, he did indeed see what everyone else saw, but he saw something else along with it, as if two images, or two realities overlapped with each other, in the first one the guy was shot in the head and died, but in the second one the alien missed, and the guy ran far away making it out alive.
'Illusion!?.' That was Aizen's first thought but as he looked around him again he dismissed it, because everyone around him, whether it was people, buildings, cars, roads, or even birds, had a double image to them.
Two ironmen flying sometimes overlapping with each other and sometimes they go in totally opposite directions, same for the hulk, Thor… etc.
Some buildings collapsed while its double stayed completely fine, in one of the variations he even saw black widow and hawkeye getting surrounded and killed but their counterparts were alive and kicking.
'Anyone who's capable of casting an illusion of this degree won't have the need to use it in a situation like this .' That was Aizen's reasoning, and it might seem flawed but he completely believed in it.
In fact it was another hypothesis he had, that was so crazy and unbelievable that he thought it was the real explanation for what was happening before him.
'If I consider all the things that are happening to me recently it might not be that crazy after all!.' he thought as he remembered a quota from his past life,
"When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
And so he decided to test it out.
So looking at the image of the dead black widow and hawkeye that he saw in front of him he put all his focus and attention on it.
And slowly the other image where they were alive bit by bit started to disappear before leaving him with only the image where they were dead.
Just this had already half confirmed his theory, but deciding to be sure, he again focused on that image in his mind where they were still alive and fighting, as he did that the scene in front of him started to blur and disappear replaced by another one, where both of them were alive and kicking(literally).
Aizen stood there, his mind blank for a while, he didn't know what to do, the realization of what just happened and its implications left him paralyzed, 'Just when I thought nothing would surprise me anymore, hehehe.' he thought laughing mockingly to himself in the end.
When he did his test just now he realized what was really happening with the double images he was seeing.
It wasn't an illusion or some type of duplication ability and it wasn't even a high-level being playing around and having some fun, in fact, he half wished if it were any of those things.
But the reality is, that it was way beyond any of that stuff, the truth is that what he saw before him was... another reality!?...
