Chapter 398: Chapter 200: Kyoka Suigetsu! Defeated in One Move! (Part 2)

He remained calm. The patterns on his golden God Cloth faintly circulated, and the surrounding Reishi floated motionlessly under an invisible power.

Just at the instant the torrent of blade light was about to touch his body...

Alex took a light step forward. There was no incantation, no technique, and not even any obvious energy fluctuation. Facing the blade light that covered every possible path, he simply took a light step forward.

Hum!

A white halo of light, with his body as the origin, silently expanded outward.

Time seemed to lose all meaning at this moment. The falling Reishi fragments hovered in mid-air, and the Spiritual Pressure on the blades completely solidified.

The surging torrent of blade light, at a distance of mere inches from Alex, acted as if it had struck an invisible barrier. There was no earth-shattering explosion, no ear-piercing sound of impact—only a silent annihilation.

Kyoka Suigetsu’s reality-twisting attack, fused with the Hogyoku, reacted the moment it came into contact with that fluctuation like snowflakes beneath a blazing sun. It directly melted and disintegrated, turning into the finest Reishi dust that drifted away with the air currents.

Aizen’s full-powered strike that transcended the limits of a Shinigami was, in front of Alex, as fragile as a sandcastle built by a child. With a gentle push from Alex, it completely and violently collapsed.

Pfft!

The power of the backlash was far more terrifying than imagined.

The Hogyoku embedded in Aizen’s chest let out a crack, and hairline fractures appeared on its surface.

He violently spat out dark red blood.

Aizen’s body, which had fused with the Hogyoku, trembled violently. His legs gave out, dropping him to one knee as his chest heaved heavily.

The Spiritual Pressure on his body rapidly dissipated like a punctured balloon. His originally tall and straight figure instantly withered.

The Hogyoku was originally a miraculous artifact capable of materializing its host’s innermost desires. However, under Alex’s power that broke through the very limits of the world, even the Hogyoku could not withstand it.

Aizen’s brown eyes, always brimming with confidence, were now filled with nothing but boundless shock.

His pupils dilated to the extreme, followed by a bone-deep bewilderment, and finally overtaken by heavy terror.

He curled his body up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. His teeth were tightly clenched, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

In that very instant just now, he clearly saw the crushing weight of dimensions and laws.

Alex’s counterattack was a fundamental denial of the spatial rules he had established.

It was as if someone had casually erased his drawn lines from a piece of canvas. Everything he understood, controlled, and twisted was, in the other party’s eyes, nothing more than superficial dust.

Alex’s figure blurred. When he reappeared, he was already standing right in front of Aizen.

Aizen showed not the slightest intention of resisting. In truth, facing this kind of power, anything he did would be futile.

Alex leaned forward slightly. His gaze pierced through Aizen’s body, accurately locking onto the nearly shattered Hogyoku in his chest.

"Do you see it now, Sosuke Aizen?"

"Your so-called transcendence is nothing but the arrogant delusion of a frog in a well."

"The Hogyoku you rely upon is merely a crude toy manufactured solely from your own delusions."

"You pursue power, yet you don’t even understand the meaning of power. You thought you caught a glimpse of the laws, yet you do not know that above the laws, there are existences that govern them!"

Every single word from Alex acted like a heavy hammer, viciously smashing against Aizen’s mental defenses.

Aizen shuddered all over. He violently raised his head, blood dripping down his chin.

The fanaticism in his eyes was completely extinguished, replaced by an almost blank bewilderment...
