Aizen guessed correctly.
The ability to instantly transport everyone to an empty replica of Karakura Town, simulating the battlefield, was indeed the Hogyoku's doing.
Sora hadn't expected the Hogyoku to be so useful!
After the complete transformation of the Ninja World, his strength had drawn increasingly closer to that of the Soul King.
However, regarding many of the Soul King's authorities, Sora could sense them but not utilize them.
But now with the Hogyoku, it was like Thor in Marvel. Because Thor couldn't fully control his own power, he used Mjolnir to channel it.
The same applied to Sora now. He used the Hogyoku to wield the Soul King's authorities!
Otherwise, how could an incomplete Hogyoku be so powerful?
And while using the Hogyoku, Sora discovered an even more astonishing fact!
That is, the Hogyoku itself was part of the Soul King's authority!
Nothing in this world appears out of nowhere… everything has a reason!
Kyoraku Shunsui's dual blades weren't actually dual blades… one was the sacred sword of Ise Nanao's family, hidden within his two swords.
Ukitake Jushiro's cough wasn't a disease… he lived using a part of the Soul King that replaced his internal organs!
Quincy didn't simply emerge from humanity… they were an offshoot of the Soul King's power after it was shattered.
Zanpakuto were forged by Nimaiya Oetsu, Shihakusho were woven by Shutara Senjumaru, true names were bestowed by Hyosube Ichibe'e, and Kaido originated from Kirinji Tenjiro.
And the Hogyoku, of course, had its origin.
Its origin was the authority scattered across the world after the Soul King was ambushed by the Four Great Noble Families.
Aizen and Kisuke merely discovered parts of that authority and condensed them into the Hogyoku.
This was the essence of the Hogyoku, the wish-granting device.
After all, the world was created from the Soul King's summoning. What problem could there be in using the Soul King's authority within this world?
The Soul King didn't use it because the Soul King was noble, but others were different!
Thus, Sora found the Hogyoku increasingly useful!
Of course, discussing the Hogyoku is a bit of a tangent.
After being sent flying by Sora, crashing through dozens of buildings, Zaraki charged back once more!
His aura was like a demon, like a ghost. Having never faced an opponent as strong as Sora, Zaraki had surpassed himself once again.
His demonic body was now pushed to its absolute limit!
Also, realizing he couldn't win through brute force, Zaraki started using skill!
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!
Using continuous Shunpo, Zaraki's body created afterimages!
Instantly, countless Zarakis charged at Sora!
However, looking at these afterimages, Sora just sneered dismissively.
"You think these can get close to me? Too naive, Zaraki!"
"Maybe you haven't faced any truly strong opponents. Well then, let me show you!"
Saying this, Sora once again drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
However, surprisingly, although Sora made the motion of drawing and nocking, the bowstring was empty!
It was as if Sora had drawn the bow, but there was no arrow!
But what could a bow without an arrow do? Hit someone with the string?
Unohana and Aizen were baffled!
However, Aizen was more perceptive. He activated Kyoka Suigetsu's ability, weaving multiple lenses in front of his eyes with its power.
Then, he could truly see the arrow in Sora's hand!
It was Reishi condensed to such an extreme that no Reishi escaped!
And precisely because no Reishi escaped, he hadn't been able to see it at all.
The principle was like a black hole!
Thus, the power of this strike became clear: this was a black hole arrow!
"Mortals, you're overstepping your bounds!"
Sora released the invisible arrow!
Under everyone's stunned gaze, after the arrow was shot, a dark singularity collapsed into existence!
Then, like a sudden black hole, all of Zaraki's afterimages were pulled by its gravity, continuously drawn towards the center of the black hole arrow!
After being drawn in, Zaraki's true form was finally revealed!
"What is this power?" Feeling the gravitational force acting on him, Zaraki struggled with all his might!
But if even the sun couldn't resist a black hole, how could Zaraki?
He was visibly being drawn irreversibly towards the black hole!
If he fell into the black hole, even someone as tough as Zaraki would be twisted into a small pancake!
Zaraki foresaw this future. He knew he needed more power!
Thus, Zaraki asked the voice inside him.
And that voice finally gave him a response!
"Is that so? That's how, huh? Good, then bring it on!"
Reiatsu surged around him. Zaraki gripped his Zanpakuto and shouted one word: "Bankai!!"
