Loki's illusions collapsed first. The **STATUS SCREEN** tracked Aizen's reiatsu skyrocketing:
**KYOKA SUIGETSU: [FULL RELEASE]**
**REALITY INTEGRITY: 3%**
Dean's stolen Bankai disintegrated mid-swing. His Hollow plating peeled away like burnt paper.
Aizen's blade descended.
Then stopped.
Ichigo's Bankai-clad Zangetsu blocked the strike, black reiatsu warping spacetime. The **STATUS SCREEN** updated:
**ALLY RECRUITED: [ICHIGO KUROSAKI]**
**MOTIVATION: [PISSED OFF]**
Aizen sighed. "Predictable."
Dean spat blood. "That's the point."
The **STATUS SCREEN** flashed his real objective—not Aizen's defeat, but the data scrolling behind his retinas:
**KYOKA SUIGETSU ANALYSIS: [98% COMPLETE]**
**ILLUSIONARY CODE: [COPIED]**
Loki's laughter was a grenade pin pulled.
Reality exploded.
