🕑 Added 2025-03-21 17:00:14 +0000 UTCChapter 452 - Two Reality Marbles Collide
BOOM!
As Ailin chanted, a blackish-red light spread from his surroundings.
Wherever Ailin's spiritual pressure touched within this boundless desert, the landscape was instantly replaced with a blackish-red ground.
And on this ground, countless Zanpakutō were embedded.
The place where Ailin stood gradually rose and elevated, transforming into the Sword Hill that Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, had seen before.
And at the boundary between the blackish-red ground and the yellow desert, countless blackish-red and yellow lightning bolts flashed, occasionally revealing terrifying distortions in space.
After a while, these distortions gradually subsided, bringing Ailin's Unlimited Blade Works and Iskandar's Ionioi Hetairoi into a state of opposition.
In the Type-Moon world, there were many beings who possessed Reality Marbles.
If two powerhouses, both possessing Reality Marbles, fought and used their Reality Marbles simultaneously, the spaces of their Reality Marbles would collide.
The setting of a Reality Marble was to use immense magical energy to construct one's inner mental landscape, replacing the real space.
Therefore, if two Reality Marbles collided, the one with stronger magical energy would crush the weaker one, tearing apart the weaker one's Reality Marble space, preventing it from unfolding.
If both sides had similar magical energy, the two Reality Marbles might reach a stalemate.
In this case, one would receive a certain boost within one's own Reality Marble, and entering the opponent's Reality Marble would be entering their home field.
Iskandar himself didn't have enough magical energy to unfold a Reality Marble.
However, Iskandar's Reality Marble wasn't a manifestation of his own inner landscape, but was formed by the collective hearts of the countless soldiers who followed him.
Therefore, this Reality Marble was actually constructed by Iskandar and tens of thousands of Heroic Spirit soldiers who followed him, and the magical energy required to unfold the Reality Marble was naturally borne by the tens of thousands of Heroic Spirit soldiers.
This was also why Iskandar's Reality Marble was so vast.
Because this was a miracle achieved through the joint efforts of tens of thousands of people.
Ailin was different.
His Reality Marble was the Bankai of his own Zanpakutō.
After obtaining the royal treasure "Royal Seal," the space of Ailin's Reality Marble had transformed from illusory to real, becoming a truly existing space. The stability of its space was far superior to the space of a "Reality Marble" constructed using magical energy.
The reality was also like this. After Ailin unfolded his Bankai "Unlimited Blade Works," the blackish-red lightning bolts rapidly encroached upon the space manifested by "Ionioi Hetairoi" as Unlimited Blade Works expanded.
In front of Ailin's Unlimited Blade Works, Iskandar's "Ionioi Hetairoi" was the one being crushed.
Seeing the blackish-red distorted space rapidly spreading towards them, Iskandar knew that once the space of the opponent's Reality Marble encroached upon the space manifested by his Ionioi Hetairoi, his Reality Marble would inevitably collapse.
At that point, he would have no chance of resisting Berserker.
Thereupon, Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, brandished his short sword and shouted, "My unparalleled warriors, follow me and trample them—"
"OOOOOOOOH!"
"RUMBLE!"
Following Iskandar's command, tens of thousands of soldiers followed behind Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, charging towards Ailin's Reality Marble.
Iskandar wanted to let his soldiers cross into Ailin's Reality Marble while his own Reality Marble could still withstand it, and forcefully kill Ailin.
This was his last chance of victory.
"Oh? You're getting anxious, are you?"
Seeing Iskandar launch the charge, Ailin smiled.
Then, Ailin reached out, and a Zanpakutō flew into his palm, held firmly in his grip.
"Then, let me plunge you into an even deeper despair!"
"Bankai— Mukūjōchu Muramasa!"
As Ailin called out the true name of the Zanpakutō in his hand, purple spiritual pressure instantly erupted from the Zanpakutō, sweeping across Ailin's entire Reality Marble.
After the purple light faded, black figures appeared one after another next to the Zanpakutō within Ailin's Reality Marble.
Then, these black figures pulled out the Zanpakutō embedded in the ground, formed a black torrent before launching a counter-charge against the tens of thousands of cavalry.
Seeing this scene, Iskandar, the King of Conquerors', smile gradually faded, and his expression began to darken.
He had never expected that Berserker's Reality Marble could actually conjure up black shadows to use weapons.
In this way, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Although his Reality Marble was strong, it only contained a little over fifty thousand soldiers.
But the number of swords in Berserker's Reality Marble?
There were probably no fewer than a million!
Fortunately, to Iskandar's relief, although these black shadows were numerous, their strength was not strong.
Each of the soldiers on his side was a Heroic Spirit recognized by the Throne of Heroes. Although they didn't have the most important "spiritual foundation" of Heroic Spirits because they followed him, their Heroic Spirit transformation had also sublimated their abilities, making them dozens of times stronger than they were in life.
Each soldier could fight against at least ten black shadows.
The stronger Heroic Spirits could even kill hundreds of black shadows without taking any damage.
"Hmph!"
Within Ailin's Reality Marble, the Sword Hill was now full of figures.
Unlike the Zanpakutō that only had black shadows, each person on the Sword Hill had various forms and appearances, all very distinct.
They were all Zanpakutō with their own names and abilities.
In the current war, although Ailin's countless Zanpakutō army was resisting the impact of the soldiers in Ionioi Hetairoi, due to the disparity in strength, hundreds of Zanpakutō black shadows were being slain every second.
Seeing this scene, a noble youth with a crescent moon mark on his forehead on the Sword Hill snorted coldly, then leaped out, flying towards the front lines.
"Hey, Sesshomaru, wait for me!"
Behind him, a white-haired youth in a red fire rat robe leaped and followed.
"Since even Sesshomaru and Inuyasha have gone, let's go too."
"Let's slaughter these guys in the shortest time possible."
"Heh, they actually want to take control of us, they really have some nerve."
With someone taking the lead, the materialized Zanpakutō on the Sword Hill also set off, fearing that if they were too slow, they wouldn't even get a taste of the leftovers.
"Gentlemen, let this old man strike the first blow!"
Fujitora, wearing a justice coat and with his eyes closed, drew his staff sword.
"Bankai - Gravity Wave!"
Wielding a purple gravity wave towards the sky, Fujitora slowly sheathed his staff sword.
Clang!
Only after the sound of Fujitora's Zanpakutō returning to its scabbard did a dozens-of-meters-wide meteorite appear in the sky of the Reality Marble, carrying a long tail flame, and smashing down towards the center of Iskandar's army.
BOOM!
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
The meteorite crashed to the ground, creating a crater hundreds of meters in diameter, and also unleashed a huge shockwave, engulfing the surrounding soldiers.
With this one strike, at least a thousand soldiers had died.
Following Fujitora's attack, the Zanpakutō with distinct forms had also reached the battlefield.
The first to arrive was Sesshomaru, who had set off first.
Drawing the Zanpakutō at his waist, lightning flashed around Sesshomaru's body.
"Azure Dragon Strike!"
RUMBLE!
A dragon-shaped lightning slash flew out, crushing all the soldiers within a hundred-meter range in front of Sesshomaru.
"Damn it, Sesshomaru, don't try to steal the show!"
Behind him, Inuyasha, seeing Sesshomaru already striking, instantly drew the Zanpakutō at his waist.
"Tessaiga!"
At Inuyasha's call, Tessaiga transformed into its giant fang state.
Then, Inuyasha raised Tessaiga high, then swung it down fiercely.
"Wind Scar!"
Three powerful wind slashes were unleashed by Inuyasha, killing all the soldiers within a thirty-degree, hundred-meter range in front of him.
In the formations opened up by Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, the seated officer-level and lieutenant-level Zanpakutō began to show their fangs.
"Bloom, Hōzukimaru!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Hum, Haineko!"
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…
"Scatter, Benishidare!"
"Rage, Hayate!"
"Sprint, Itegumo!"
"Soar, Tobiume!"
"Good morning, Namazu!"
The powerhouses on the Zanpakutō side made their moves, instantly pushing the battle line forward by dozens of meters.
Although the soldiers of Iskandar's Ionioi Hetairoi were Heroic Spirits recognized by the Throne of Heroes.
However, the strength of Heroic Spirits was largely reflected in their Noble Phantasms.
In terms of ability values, the abilities of these soldiers might only reach D-rank, exceeding the limits of humans.
The materialized Zanpakutō in Ailin's Unlimited Blade Works, the seated officer level were at least C-rank, and the lieutenant-level Zanpakutō reached B-rank.
Moreover, each Zanpakutō possessed its own unique ability.
With the assistance of these abilities, most of the soldiers were simply helpless.
Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, had a grim expression.
He had never expected that Berserker's Reality Marble could actually summon so many powerhouses.
Moreover, the power of these swords when they unleashed their true names was in no way inferior to the Noble Phantasms in Gilgamesh's treasury.
Under the abilities of these Zanpakutō, his soldiers, except for a very few who could resist, were simply being slaughtered.
In less than a minute, his army of over fifty thousand had already lost nearly ten thousand.
"Howl, Tenken!"
At this moment, a gruff voice sounded, and a dozens-of-meters-long black longsword appeared in the void, slashing down fiercely.
BOOM!
With this single strike, dozens more died.
Then, this longsword swept horizontally, clearing a nearly seventy-degree range in front of it.
Seeing this scene, Iskandar pulled on his reins, roaring as he drove the Gordius Wheel towards the armored figure who was entirely covered in black.
Faced with the impact of an A+ ranked Noble Phantasm, Tenken naturally didn't dare to underestimate it.
Thereupon, Tenken raised the Zanpakutō in his hand high, calling out the true name of the Zanpakutō.
"Bankai—Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō!" (Black Rope Heaven's Punishment Bright King)
RUMBLE!
Immense spiritual pressure constructed a huge armored figure nearly a hundred meters tall. Then, wielding a dozens-of-meters-long sword, he slashed down at the oncoming Gordius Wheel.
BOOM!
Lightning and the longsword collided, creating a huge roar.
Gales transformed into powerful shockwaves, spreading out from the center of the collision between the lightning and the black longsword, blowing away many of the Zanpakutō's black shadows and the soldiers of Ionioi Hetairoi.
Bang!
In the end, the huge figure nearly a hundred meters tall took a few steps back, while Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, driving the Gordius Wheel, was also knocked back dozens of meters by this attack.
The two Divine Bulls pulling the chariot were already bleeding profusely, having suffered considerable injuries.
"Rider…"
On the Gordius Wheel, the bruised and battered Waver looked at Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, below. He suddenly took a deep breath.
Then, Waver raised his right hand. On the back of his right hand, three red Command Spells glowed red.
"Rider, by the authority of a Command Spell, I order you to fully restore your state!"
With Waver's determined words, one of the strokes on his hand dimmed.
Then, Iskandar's injuries completely recovered, and even his Gordius Wheel and Divine Bull appeared as if they had never been injured.
Not only that, during this time, the more than twenty thousand soldiers who had been defeated by Ailin's Zanpakutō army were also resurrected.
After all, they were Heroic Spirits relying on Iskandar's mental landscape. As long as Iskandar was alive, they would not die.
The soldiers who were still alive were also fully restored.
With just one Command Spell, Iskandar's state was completely restored, showcasing the power of the Holy Grail system.
"Futile struggle!"
Within Ailin's Reality Marble, many captain-level Zanpakutō on the Sword Hill had yet to make a move.
Seeing Iskandar's soldiers recover, a lava-like being with flames all over his body snorted coldly.
The other Zanpakutō, upon seeing this lava-like being, showed respect in their eyes.
Because this lava-like being was the oldest and strongest fire-type Zanpakutō in Soul Society, Ryūjin Jakka.
"Since old man Yama isn't willing, let me do it."
A palm-sized being like a hornet flew up, tracing a yellow halo as it flew towards the sky.
This was Soifon's Zanpakutō, Suzumebachi, from Soul Society's Second Division.
In the previous battle, her Shikai was largely useless, so she hadn't participated.
But this time, with the enemy fully restored, she could unleash her strongest ability.
Thereupon, Suzumebachi's body erupted with immense spiritual pressure, and a shout resounded—
