After collecting the Hollow's soul, Aaron returned to his residence. Placing his Zanpakutō in its sealed state across his legs, he activated his "Omniscience and Omnipotence" ability to analyze his spiritual and physical state.
The "Omniscience and Omnipotence" worked like a supercomputer, processing the vast information he had absorbed from the archives of the Spiritual Arts Academy with astonishing speed.
He didn't know how long it had been, but eventually, Aaron felt an inexplicable connection with his Zanpakutō. As his consciousness delved deeper, he entered a state of near selflessness.
When he opened his eyes, Aaron found himself in a pitch-dark world, devoid of light. Gradually, as if responding to his presence, a bright beam of light pierced through the chaotic sky, illuminating him.
The world around him began to transform. The sky cleared, as if washed clean by a torrential rain, and the cracked ground beneath his feet leveled out.
Suddenly, a guttural roar echoed in the distance. Heavy footsteps approached, growing louder with each step. Aaron calmly turned his gaze toward the sound.
What emerged from the darkness surprised him: a colossal, otherworldly beast. It bore the form of a goat but towered hundreds of meters high. Its head was obscured by swirling black mist, from which a pair of enormous saber-like teeth extended, gleaming menacingly. Black flames burned at its feet, distorting the air around it.
Despite its fearsome appearance, Aaron stood unshaken. He understood—this creature was the manifestation of his Zanpakutō.
The beast stopped less than a meter away, studying him intently. Aaron returned its gaze, calm and composed. After a moment of silence, the black mist surrounding the beast's head began to twist into a vortex, spiraling violently.
"Roar!" The beast's thunderous voice shook the space around them, causing the ground to tremble and crack. Yet, Aaron remained unaffected, his focus unwavering.
The vortex stabilized, and a deep, resounding voice echoed from the beast:
"Silence is trust resounding through the wilderness.
Greed is the essence of the strong, beyond the need for words.
Fate is the excuse of the weak.
Luck is but a modest word for the strong.
Swallow it all... My Lord!"
The proclamation calmed the once-chaotic space, and countless swirling vortexes surrounded Aaron and the beast. As the vortexes reached their peak speed, a bolt of black lightning descended, striking Aaron. Thunder coursed through him, yet he felt no pain.
Raising his hand, Aaron began condensing the black lightning into the form of a sword. Slowly, the weapon took shape—a black blade brimming with ominous energy. When the sword solidified, Aaron felt a profound connection with his Zanpakutō.
The beast's voice rang out again:
"Call my name, My Lord!"
With a burst of Reiatsu, Aaron held the sword high and shouted:
"Devour, Taotie"
The surrounding vortexes were drawn into the blade, disappearing into its inky depths. The massive beast dissolved into a surge of black spiritual energy, merging with the sword. The weapon pulsed with power, emitting an eerie black glow.
Aaron's Reiatsu surged to unprecedented heights. The intensity of his spiritual pressure caused the very space around him to collapse layer by layer. He stared at his Zanpakutō, the corners of his lips curling into a faint smile.
"So this is my Zanpakutō—Taotie," he murmured, marveling at its immense power.
As the resonance between him and his Zanpakutō reached its peak, an immense wave of Reiatsu burst forth, rocketing into the sky. The explosion of spiritual energy reverberated throughout the Seireitei, drawing the attention of Shinigami far and wide.
In the Faculty Residences:
"What is this overwhelming Reiatsu?"
"I feel like I'm suffocating, and we're so far away!"
"That's coming from the direction of the faculty housing. Did a teacher just achieve Bankai?"
In Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Office:
Yamamoto sat in his office, reviewing plans for the newly established Gotei 13 divisions. After six months of preparation, the formation of the divisions had progressed smoothly.
Midway through the meeting, Yamamoto and the gathered Shinigami sensed the immense Reiatsu erupting in the distance.
"This… This Reiatsu!" one Shinigami exclaimed.
"It's coming from the Spiritual Arts Academy!"
Yamamoto narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the horizon. The familiar pressure reminded him of one person.
"Aaron…" he muttered under his breath.
