"Slash!"
The incomparably sharp Zanpakuto left a white mark on the Judge's thick neck.
"This defense."
Hawking was speechless at the sight. His Zanpakuto not only inflicted severe damage on souls, but was also unbelievably sharp—sharp enough to cut through even Vibranium.
Yet when he struck the Judge's neck with all his strength, he had failed to break through its defenses.
All he could say was that the gap in their strength was still far too great.
Even severely wounded, the Judge was not so easy to deal with. Especially since Hawking was currently a Shadow Clone, which ultimately could not wield the full power of his true body.
Of course, if the Judge stood there without moving and let him slash away, he would still have a chance of breaking through its defenses after several hundred or even a thousand strikes.
And with his attack speed, several hundred consecutive slashes would not take much time at all.
Unfortunately, the Judge clearly would not be foolish enough to stand there and let him cut it. After taking one slash, its palm, even larger than Hawking's Susanoo, was already sweeping toward him.
Though the Judge was enormous, it was not slow in the slightest, forcing Hawking to use Shunpo to evade successfully.
"Spatial abilities?"
Seeing this, the Judge's body immediately emitted a peculiar energy fluctuation, and the space around it instantly solidified.
Hawking also discovered that he could no longer use spatial abilities like Apparition and Flying Thunder God.
However, he was not surprised by this.
After all, both Mutants and Eternals had been created by the Celestials. Therefore, the Celestials should theoretically be able to use all of their abilities.
So, an ability like sealing space was not particularly surprising.
Even the Mirror Dimension currently empowered by the Space Stone
