No.
That's not right... not right...
Azure Star Candle Dragon's ability... this isn't 'reflection' at all!
This... what exactly...
What is this power...?!
Why can my attack... appear in a completely impossible position...
Aizen stared at Shigure's eyes. Incomprehensible shock filled his gaze.
On the ground, everyone froze.
No one could understand what happened.
Aizen's attack vanished from its original position. Appeared directly behind him. Dealt fatal damage.
Incomprehensible. Beyond understanding.
Then Shigure's words came:
"The Tenchūren pillars can hold less than twenty seconds."
"So I'll finish you within ten seconds."
?!
Aizen's breath caught.
His expression began changing involuntarily.
But then Shigure stepped back suddenly. Opened about ten feet of distance.
His spiritual pressure surged violently.
"Reverse Scale Final Form—"
The quiet words came. Shigure's expression was indifferent. Raised his dual blades slightly. Released them gently.
Both blades exploded simultaneously. Became white-gold spiritual particles. Rushed toward Shigure's chest.
BOOM!!
A deafening roar erupted from the sky.
The countless thunderbolts and wind spirals above began converging directly above Shigure's head.
When they merged into a circle, intense white light descended from heaven. Formed a pillar. Enveloped Shigure immediately.
Golden lightning danced along the pillar. Gray storm swirled. Parted all dark clouds instantly.
BOOM!!!
The light pillar reached the ground. Without pause, continued downward. Like forming a bottomless pit.
The earth trembled continuously. All ruins shook. Dust flew everywhere.
Heaven and earth, in this instant... were completely pierced by this beam!!
Shigure stood in the sky's light pillar. His wings expanded rapidly. Finally extended beyond the pillar on both sides.
Still transparent wings formed of wind currents. But... their wing bones were blazing golden lightning.
The light wings moved slightly. Thunder roared. Wind howled.
Simultaneously, countless massive lightning bolts descended from the heavens. Thunderous sounds never ceased.
Countless gray hurricanes gathered from nothing. Became tornado storms. Appeared throughout Karakura Town.
Everyone on the ground froze.
This scene... what's happening...?!
Just slight wing movements... created this level of destruction?!
This...?!
Before they could process their thoughts, the white light pillar began contracting rapidly. Converged toward Shigure.
The light faded.
Shigure's figure reappeared.
His hands held nothing. No storm. No lightning. No blade.
Behind him, those massive white-gold light wings were the only remaining phenomenon. And... the source of all pressure.
The dark clouds just parted by the light pillar converged again. Covered the sky.
Then dense raindrops began falling. Growing from small to large. Descending from above.
Rain struck the ground. The ruins. Every person below.
Yet everyone still looked up.
They could all see Shigure now.
But nearly everyone was stunned.
When the light pillar began contracting, Shigure's spiritual pressure had grown weaker and weaker.
Now, his spiritual pressure... had vanished completely.
He stood there quietly. Silent. Still as an iceberg.
Yet everything about him radiated endless pressure. Just looking up made everyone suffocate... even tremble.
But his spiritual pressure couldn't be sensed by anyone.
Even Aizen, fused with the Hōgyoku, showed the same expression. Completely stunned.
Shigure's hurricanes and thunderstorms clearly existed. Shigure stood right there. Light wings covered the sky.
Yet... why...
Not a trace of spiritual pressure... seemed to exist...
Aizen's body had begun super-speed regeneration. But his gaze remained fixed on Shigure.
Between heaven and earth, even wind and thunder sounds vanished. Only rain and dead silence remained.
After a moment, Aizen finally broke the silence.
He bit his teeth slightly:
"This... this form... what's going on... your spiritual pressure..."
"What's happening?! Segawa Shigure!!"
By the end, his voice had become almost a roar.
Shigure slowly raised his eyes.
The instant he looked up, white-gold light exploded in his pupils.
The moment Aizen saw that light, his heart stopped.
No soul-attacking technique. Just ordinary pressure. Yet it made him... unable to meet Shigure's gaze.
Shigure's expression remained indifferent:
"You don't need to shout like that, Aizen. It won't make you more imposing. It only exposes your panic and unease."
"As for this form... I already told you."
"Azure Star Candle Dragon, Reverse Scale Final Form—"
"All Things Without Rain."
!!
...All Things... Without Rain...?!
Aizen lowered his head slightly. Rain struck his head. His pupils contracted. He bit his teeth.
The instant he heard those words, his sword... trembled involuntarily.
Incomprehensible power. Incomprehensible words.
But then Shigure's indifferent voice came again—
"The countdown has begun..."
"Ten seconds."
