Immediately afterward, almost in the very next instant, Sōsuke Aizen's face, originally filled with arrogance and confidence, froze, and his hawk-sharp gaze dimmed.
It was as though time had stopped at that moment, and everything had become so abrupt and eerie.
Yet the next moment, Sōsuke Aizen suddenly made an unexpected movement-his proud head, which he had held high all along, abruptly dropped as though it had lost its support, his eyes staring straight down.
In that fleeting moment just before, Sōsuke Aizen's body had suddenly shuddered violently, as though struck by some powerful impact.
At the same time, his normally steady, powerful arms moved at astonishing speed, his fingers flying as they rapidly formed one mysterious hand seal after another.
Although he did not murmur a string of obscure, incomprehensible incantations as others did when casting it, its power still could not be underestimated.
An immense surge of boundless, raging energy suddenly erupted from his body!
This energy was like a primordial beast that had been imprisoned for ages, finally breaking free of its restraints and roaring toward the heavens.
The terrifying aura it radiated was enough to make all things in the world tremble.
And this was none other than the legendary, devastating Hadō No. 88, whose very mention made people pale-Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!
When this technique appeared, it was like a dazzling meteor crashing down from the highest heavens, its brilliance almost enough to illuminate the entire universe.
An enormous column of energy easily tore through the void, carrying unparalleled pressure and heart-shaking power, like a wildly raging bolt of lightning, as it hurtled mercilessly toward those several Naruto clones with unstoppable, crushing force!
In the blink of an eye, an earth-shaking rumble rang out, as though the end of the world had arrived.
