Zero-Time Mirror Realm?
The moment Kuzan finished speaking.
Chinjao, Bang, Yami Tsukahara, and the others who remained conscious noticed that the air pressure around them had suddenly returned to normal.
Then they looked at the Great Centipede Spinning Top that should have fallen long ago.
It had eerily halted in midair.
Or rather, it was still spinning and still falling.
But after touching a thin crystalline wall, it appeared to move in slow motion, leaving afterimages that sometimes overlapped and sometimes scattered apart.
What was this—
Tatsumaki, flying over from nearby, narrowed her eyes slightly.
She tried probing that crystalline wall with her psychic power, but found nothing there at all.
"No. My energy was frozen, then refracted away."
"So I can't sense anything. Only these naked eyes can see the surface!"
The truth was much as Tatsumaki had guessed.
Kuzan's Zero-Time Mirror Realm was a move developed from his "second awakening"—the power of freezing.
Its principle was to instantly condense a layer before himself or around himself that was not a physical wall of ice.
Instead, it was an extremely thin, nearly perfectly smooth "spacetime-freezing crystalline wall" at the threshold of near absolute zero.
Rather than ice, this crystalline wall was more like a strange interface that froze light, energy, and even space.
Or perhaps it was the manifestation of the power of freezing itself.
Any energy attack that touched the crystalline wall, including lasers, flames, shockwaves, sword energy, and so on.
Would have its energy activity rapidly "frozen" by the ultra-low temperature within it.
As for physical attacks, such as blades, firearms, or a bodily charge like Centipede Sage's.
They would likewise be frozen and embrittled by the extreme low temperature at the point of contact.
If Kuzan wished it, whether energy or matter, everything would be forcibly
