A few days passed in a flash.
Looking around, Hell was boundless, with countless stone pillars, pervasive miasma, and a desolate landscape.
At this moment, Aozaki had actually departed from the Three Worlds and arrived in a completely unfamiliar space.
This place didn't seem to be the legendary terrifying purgatory, but rather a desolate and solitary land.
However, he felt no fear or panic, as such bizarre sights were not new to him.
At the same time, he did not fall into groundless reverie.
From the very beginning, he firmly believed that Rangiku and the others would take good care of themselves, so there was no need to worry.
Unlike what the Soul King imagined, Aozaki was not disturbed by external matters; his goal was clear, his will firm, and his heart filled with a strong desire.
It was as if only by completing this task could he find peace.
He gripped the blade in his hand tightly, feeling no heroic urge to save all beings, but rather a profound sense of peace.
His longing for the people of the Three Worlds, his desire for his beloved's body, and his yearning for a future life—these emotions intertwined, acting like a calming elixir, shattering all fantasies about the unknown.
When the massive Hell's Will stood majestically before him, it actually picked up a sword formed from the principles of sin and punishment.
That unparalleled oppressive force seemed capable of directly forcing a fragile king like Yhwach to his knees.
However, for Aozaki, all this only intensified his murderous intent.
"After I deal with you, I still need to rush back to create the true Child of God!"
Aozaki gripped the hilt of his blade tightly, continuously caressing it, his eyes gleaming with resolute light.
Although this oppressive power, surpassing even deities, was astonishing, he was not intimidated.
However, he had not expected that Hell's Will could manifest its own body.
Although it was called Hell's Will, similar in name to Hell's Will.
Their appearances, however, were vastly different; the body of Hell's Will was extraordinarily magnificent, like a towering giant.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her figure was graceful.
However, she was not a normal flesh-and-blood body, but a translucent, purple, liquid-like form.
She was covered in a soft armor resembling golden bones, giving her a mysterious and majestic aura.
The eyes of Hell's Will were like brilliant stars, and her right hand tightly clutched a golden greatsword, its blade shimmering with a faint golden glow.
The aura she exuded was strikingly similar to that of the Soul King, leaving one in awe.
Facing such an existence, it was truly difficult to describe it with a crude word like "monster."
Aozaki looked at the being before him, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
That body exuded a dual aura of divinity and terrifying ferocity, as if it were a contradictory amalgam.
However, when he recalled the identity that this body represented—
A deity of the same rank as the Soul King, and the Hellish rule of punishing evil that it symbolized.
He suddenly felt that this contradiction was not incomprehensible.
"We finally meet, the rule of the world, the true manifestation of Hell's Will."
Aozaki said softly, his voice revealing a mix of excitement and anticipation.
He slowly extended his hand, as if displaying his gentlemanly demeanor, inviting this "great" beauty to dance with him.
Despite its ferocious appearance, the vast, starlike aura felt incredibly familiar to him.
He couldn't help but recall his old friend, Yhwach, the Soul King who had divided the world into three.
That ordinary middle-aged man had now departed from him, never to be seen again.
Yhwach's mission was to live for the world and die for the world.
And what mission did the Hell's Will before him possess?
The answer to this question seemed to be on the tip of his tongue, and a hint of pleasure welled up in Aozaki's heart.
He had killed countless beings, and his strongest opponent was merely Yhwach, the Child of God born from a human.
Now, facing a true deity, his heart was filled with anticipation.
Only this goddess represented the true power of a realm, and her being exuded an oppressive force originating from the entire world.
That oppressive force was as heavy as a mountain pressing down, making it almost impossible to breathe.
And at this moment, Hell's Will, as the collective embodiment of Hell's power, manifested in this realm, the gap between her and Yhwach was clear at a glance, utterly incomparable.
Yhwach was merely a superhuman birthed by the world, while she was a terrifying existence from Hell.
Aozaki grinned, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he looked into the bright eyes of Hell's Will, as if he could see through everything.
"Your appearance indicates that Hell has no other options. Perfect, then I'll use you as a whetstone for my war against the world."
"Most revered existence, why choose the Three Worlds and become my enemy?"
Hell's Will asked, perplexed.
She hadn't expected Aozaki to so resolutely side with the Three Worlds.
Hell's Will actually possessed the ability to think and converse with him.
That's right, although Hell could only act according to rules, she was an existence similar to the Soul King; how could she not be able to speak and think?
Aozaki looked around, sensing the surrounding atmosphere.
This was a Asura Hell, filled with sin, bloodshed, and violence.
"Compared to Hell, I still prefer the environment of the Three Worlds."
"So that's it, but this is not something we can decide. Ever since the Creator displayed that supreme and mighty power, this has been our destiny."
"So, there's nothing left to discuss?"
"The ultimate destination of the Three Worlds is Hell; this is a supreme truth of heaven and earth set by an existence like you, and it is my mission!"
The one who created this world sounded as if he had truly become the Creator God here.
Aozaki couldn't help but chuckle. Although this guy was holding a sword against him, his flattery really made him feel quite comfortable.
But upon closer thought, it seemed perfectly fine for him to replace the other party and become the Creator God, didn't it?
Clang!!
With a swing of his long blade, it was as if the entire world was clearly displayed on the sword's edge.
Of course, this amount of time was far from enough for him to completely occupy the Three Worlds.
But fortunately, from the very beginning, Aozaki had his own world.
After all, this was the final step, the final enemy. If the legendary Creator God suddenly appeared, he would indeed be powerless.
"Not just the Three Worlds, I want to see if adding Hell can curb my endless greed."
"As you wish, most revered existence."
Hell's Will's long hair fluttered, and this already vast space underwent another change.
First, the stone pillars sank into the ground, and white light pillars descended from the pale sky, looking like giant swords plunging into the earth.
Then Aozaki lowered his head.
He found himself standing on a mirror-like lake surface, the water reflecting the sky, appearing incredibly pure, but looking down, he couldn't see the bottom at all.
