Space trembled beneath his opponent's sword strike. Shin used the Rinnegan and Yin-Yang Release to hold it together, but the enemy's attack was clearly far more violent and immense. Even he felt as though he could no longer sustain the space.
Under these circumstances, Shin lightly clenched one hand, and the chakra within him erupted completely. He directly unleashed God's Space: Second Stage.
As chakra poured in, the space immediately solidified as though it had become tangible, while Shin's figure gradually faded away.
Aizen narrowed his eyes at the spot where Shin had vanished, and for the first time, a grave look appeared in his eyes.
He could not sense any trace of Shin whatsoever—neither his chakra nor his innate sacred aura. He simply could not locate him.
No... saying he could not find him was not accurate. It would be more accurate to say that he could not lock onto him. Through the Hōgyoku's perception, Shin's energy and figures filled every direction around him. If he closed his eyes, he could even sense countless Uchiha Shins existing throughout this space.
"Do you think this will save you?" Aizen asked in a low voice, his gaze sweeping the surroundings as the demonic heads on his wings let out harsh, grating wails.
Black Ceros formed in the mouths of the six demonic heads, continuously gathering and compressing before shooting out in an instant upon reaching their limit.
It did not matter if he could not find his opponent. As long as he destroyed this entire space, Shin would have nowhere left to hide.
But the instant the attack was unleashed, an inexplicable pressure surged through the space, as if everything had completely frozen. The Ceros stopped midair, then, before Aizen's shocked eyes, abruptly turned around and rebounded straight back at him.
