Chapter 145
Boom!!!
Under the astonished gazes of Muramasa and K?ga Kuchiki, Aizen’s fist slammed into Ky?ka Suigetsu’s stomach.
Accompanied by a circular blast wave, Ky?ka Suigetsu was sent flying, like a cannonball, straight into the ground, kicking up a large cloud of silver sand!
Feeling the intense pain coursing through his body, Ky?ka Suigetsu felt as though he were dreaming.
How could this be…
Why couldn’t his ability affect Aizen?
This was Complete Hypnosis!
And that punch just now, what was that about?
All along, hadn’t this guy always fought with a sword? Why was he so skilled at punching?!
Climbing out of the pit, Ky?ka Suigetsu suddenly remembered why Aizen knew how to fight with his fists.
Kaelith…
That guy once taught Aizen how to use Ikkotsu and Nikotsu.
Moreover, when that guy sparred with Aizen, he often stripped off his clothes, tossed aside his sword, and started fighting with his fists.
Damn it!
He suddenly suspected that Aizen’s growing indifference toward his Zanpakut? was influenced by Kaelith! (T/N; He might be on to something here...)
Enduring the sharp pain in his stomach, Ky?ka Suigetsu stood up from the pit.
He looked up at Aizen, who hovered in midair.
Then, he mustered his Spirit Pressure and shot upward, charging at Aizen.
At the same time, he activated Complete Hypnosis again, making it impossible for Aizen to determine his position.
Not far away, Muramasa stood in midair, frowning at the scene.
He had hypnotized countless Zanpakut?, but had never seen such a strange situation.
A Shinigami who lost his Zanpakut? stood there calmly like a villainous boss.
The rebelled Zanpakut?, on the other hand, had fallen behind, looking rather anxious…
In every sense, this was way too bizarre.
Under the cover of Complete Hypnosis, Ky?ka Suigetsu arrived behind Aizen, raised his Zanpakut?, and prepared to strike.
But just as he was about to slash down, Aizen suddenly spoke:
“Had? #63.”
“Raik?h?.”
Ky?ka Suigetsu’s eyes widened.
A flood of golden lightning, long prepared by Aizen, surged forth and swallowed him up.
With black smoke and scorched marks, Ky?ka Suigetsu’s figure fell from the sky once more.
Boom!!!
He crashed into a dune.
Lying in the dune, Ky?ka Suigetsu tried to get up, but couldn’t help spitting out blood.
Looking at Aizen standing in the sky, he finally couldn’t hold back and shouted angrily:
“Why?! Why can you ignore the power of Complete Hypnosis?!”
Hearing this, Aizen looked at him calmly.
“Ky?ka Suigetsu, you misunderstood something from the start.”
“I don’t ‘disregard the Zanpakut?.’”
“I simply ‘do not rely on the Zanpakut?.’”
“Your ability is indeed very powerful. Used properly, it can create miracles.”
“But you also have a very obvious weakness.”
“Once the enemy’s Spirit Pressure far surpasses yours, your ability becomes completely ineffective.”
As he spoke, he took out a blue pill and showed it to Ky?ka Suigetsu.
“Since you are my Zanpakut?, you should know what this is.”
Ky?ka Suigetsu froze at first, then showed an expression of realization.
A temporary Spirit Pressure booster!
Because he had not yet fully matured, Aizen’s Spirit Pressure wasn’t “especially strong.”
To prevent facing an enemy too powerful to be affected by Ky?ka Suigetsu’s ability, Aizen had long since developed this drug.
After taking it, his Spirit Pressure would greatly increase for a short period.
Though when it wore off there would be a debuff lowering his Spirit Pressure, it was a perfect medicine for dealing with himself… As a Zanpakut? who couldn’t gain any advantage over his powerless master, wasn’t that saying that even without him, Aizen would be just fine?
Realizing this, Ky?ka Suigetsu felt his heart sink to the bottom.
While he remained silent, Aizen approached him.
Under Ky?ka Suigetsu’s gaze, Aizen drew the now powerless Zanpakut?.
“Although I’d like to see more of your abilities, time is running out.”
“Before the situation gets out of control, I must have you return.”
As he spoke, Aizen raised his Zanpakut?.
His somewhat lanky figure, illuminated by the dim moonlight of the Menos Forest, resembled an executioner.
Ky?ka Suigetsu said unwillingly:
“Aren’t you afraid that killing me will make you lose your Zanpakut?’s power forever?”
Aizen gently shook his head:
“That guy told me that if the Zanpakut? is subverted by Muramasa, I just need to kill the Zanpakut? spirit myself to restore my powers.”
That guy?
Ky?ka Suigetsu looked puzzled.
Then he suddenly widened his eyes.
Kaelith… him again!!
How did that guy know about Muramasa’s ability?!
Even more infuriating, why did Aizen trust him so much?!
This concerned the continued existence of his Zanpakut? powers!
Aizen had been cautious since childhood, never taking risks. Yet now, facing such an important decision, he completely trusted Kaelith’s baseless words?!
What a joke!
Ky?ka Suigetsu suddenly laughed.
“Aren’t you afraid that Kaelith might deceive you?”
“Aizen, blindly trusting others will cost you.”
Hearing this, Aizen pondered for two seconds.
Then shook his head: “Don’t worry, he can’t fool me.”
Ky?ka Suigetsu: “…”
At this life-and-death moment, he didn’t even know how to respond.
High above, Muramasa and K?ga Kuchiki exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
They couldn’t let this figure regain his hypnotic ability. They had to take action!
Just as the two were about to move—
A voice suddenly rang out—
“Ai… friend! Hang in there and don’t die! Kaelith is coming!!”
Aizen’s eyebrow twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked toward the voice.
He saw Kaelith flying in midair, bursting with blue Spirit Pressure, rushing over at an utterly terrifying speed.
That guy repeatedly used Ikkotsu with his feet, stomping out ring after ring of shockwaves in the air.
Each step increased his speed once more.
If not for Spirit Pressure protection, he would have burned himself alive by now.
This brute…
Aizen felt an urge to sigh and cover his face.
Ky?ka Suigetsu, on the other hand, seemed to realize something.
His eyes lit up, and with a desperate final burst of strength, he leaped straight up, rushing toward Kaelith’s direction.
Aizen’s expression changed.
The moment Ky?ka Suigetsu moved, he swung his blade without hesitation.
With a spray of blood, Ky?ka Suigetsu let out a muffled groan.
But, bearing a long wound on his back, he finally shook off Aizen.
Facing Kaelith who was rushing over, he raised his Zanpakut?.
Ky?ka Suigetsu,
Complete Hypnosis!!
