After confirming that he could indeed get out, Toshiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If his being trapped here had led to Soul Society's defeat in the decisive battle against Aizen, Toshiro would undoubtedly have felt very guilty.
"Just you wait, Aizen! This time, I will definitely defeat you with my own hands..."
Having made up his mind, Toshiro placed both hands on the surrounding solid ice, closed his eyes, and the vast, ocean-like Reiryoku within his body, now infused with the characteristics of divine power, surged into the surrounding iceberg.
After a long while, Toshiro suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Open!"
Then, an unexpected scene occurred. Sound, which should not have been able to propagate under Absolute Zero, resounded mightily within the iceberg.
And as if his words were law, wherever Toshiro's voice reached, the Absolute Zero-formed solid ice parted, creating a wide, straight path through the several-kilometer-long iceberg, leading directly to the outside, as if seeing off this 'Ice Emperor'.
Tap, tap, tap...
Toshiro proudly stepped onto this path and walked outward.
Whoosh!
After reaching the exit, Toshiro leaped out of the iceberg and landed on the ground of the dimensional space.
"The Ice Law is truly powerful. Even grasping just a fraction of it allows me to control this giant iceberg under Absolute Zero. If I were to completely master the Ice Law and break through to the True God level, I would probably be able to command all the ice in the world and master all ice-type powers..." Toshiro said, looking back at the several-kilometer-long iceberg.
The main reason Toshiro was able to easily break free from the iceberg this time was that during his lengthy several-year secluded training, his understanding of the Ice Law had deepened significantly.
As the name suggests, the Ice Law is the 'rule' of all ice-type powers. If one could completely master the Ice Law, one could naturally master all ice-type powers.
Although Toshiro had not completely mastered the Ice Law during his 'several-year' secluded training, his understanding and comprehension of the Ice Law had deepened considerably. He was no longer just grasping the tip of the iceberg.
Although this still wasn't enough for him to break through to the True God level, it was sufficient to temporarily control the giant iceberg and thus break free.
"Well... although I've escaped from the iceberg, to truly return to the outside world... there's still one difficulty to overcome..." Toshiro frowned, surveying the entire dimensional space.
The entire dimensional space was formed by the Super Caja Negación created by Aizen using the Hogyoku.
According to Aizen, even for strong individuals of their level, it would take several hours of continuous bombardment to break the space and escape.
"Hyorinmaru, how much time has passed outside since I started my secluded training?" Toshiro asked Hyorinmaru.
"Well... outside... probably less than an hour has passed..." Hyorinmaru's voice sounded in Toshiro's heart.
"Less than an hour? That short?" Toshiro said in surprise.
"Correct. Actually, you only trained in the Absolute Zero space for a little over a year. It wasn't several years like you thought. So, only about an hour has passed outside." Hyorinmaru explained.
"I see. It seems my concept of time was still affected by the Absolute Zero space, becoming blurred." Toshiro said.
"How about it? There's still plenty of time. The decisive battle between Soul Society and Aizen has probably only just begun. Do you want to go back into the iceberg and train for a while longer, until you break through to the True God level before coming out? Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to break out of this dimensional space." Hyorinmaru suggested.
Toshiro thought for a moment, but ultimately shook his head and said: "No, I can feel that my current strength growth has reached a limit. I am only one 'opportunity' away from a true breakthrough. But this 'opportunity' is not blindly about secluded training. It requires sufficient pressure. Only the great terror between life and death can squeeze out all the potential in my body, allowing me to take the opportunity to break through under powerful pressure. So... a battle with Aizen is inevitable!"
"Is that so? If that's the case... then you'd better find a way to get out of this dimensional space as soon as possible. Didn't Aizen say it would take several hours to break the space and escape? But if you delay for several hours, the decisive battle between Soul Society and Aizen might really be over." Hyorinmaru said.
"It's fine. Although this secluded training didn't allow me to break through to the True God level, my strength has genuinely increased considerably. I should be able to break this dimensional space within about two hours." Toshiro explained.
"Is that so? Then... you should probably be able to barely make it before the battle ends..." Hyorinmaru said after thinking for a moment.
"No, although I probably can make it in time, to prevent any accidents, it's better to get there sooner." Toshiro said.
"Get there sooner? But didn't you say that even with your current strength, you need at least two hours..."
"It's fine. I've already... thought of a solution." Toshiro interrupted Hyorinmaru, then looked back at the giant iceberg stretching for several kilometers.
"Solution? You mean..."
"Yes, that's right..."
Having said that, Toshiro walked back to the front of the giant iceberg and placed both hands on it.
"Ha!"
Toshiro shouted, using all the strength in his body to guide this giant iceberg.
Rumble—!!!
With the strength to move mountains, this giant iceberg, over a kilometer high and several kilometers long, began to slowly shift under Toshiro's power.
Of course, this wasn't to say that Toshiro's strength had become powerful enough to shake a mountain. It was just that, with the help of a bit of the Ice Law's ability and the influence of the Reiryoku that had permeated into the iceberg when he broke out earlier, he was able to shake this giant iceberg.
Haaah—!!!
Toshiro let out a long shout, directly controlling the giant iceberg to crash into the dimensional space's wall.
Boom—!!!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded. The entire dimensional space began to shake. Then a crack appeared on the space wall, as if the entire dimensional space was about to shatter. But before the space could break, a mysterious force suddenly appeared and began to repair the cracked space wall.
Toshiro, however, seemed to have anticipated this scene, showing no surprise. Instead, he lightly stepped back, as if dodging something, and rapidly retreated.
While retreating, Toshiro suddenly shouted softly: "Explode!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful Reiryoku that Toshiro had permeated into the iceberg suddenly erupted, detonating the giant iceberg that had crashed into the space wall.
Boom!!!
The giant iceberg shattered on the spot. The powerful impact force directly shattered the already cracked space wall.
"Such power... is still this powerful. If I were hit by that again, even with my current strength, I would still be severely injured, right?" Toshiro, who had long retreated into the distance, saw this and remarked.
After murmuring to himself, Toshiro walked out through the blasted passage.
"Aizen, you didn't expect that the thing you used to trap me would be turned around used by me to counter your methods..."
"For the first time... I feel that the night scenery of Hueco Mundo is unexpectedly beautiful..."
Toshiro stood again on the soil of Hueco Mundo, looking up at the starry sky.
