In less than a second, it suddenly exploded with a bang!

The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, without losing momentum, slammed directly into Sōsuke Aizen!

Sōsuke Aizen's brow furrowed slightly.

Taking the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack head-on, even though he had undergone several evolutions, his body still felt a painful squeeze.

Moreover... he turned his head and looked at the magma beneath him.

The pressure from the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was forcing his body to fall toward the magma below!

Without hesitation, Sōsuke Aizen transformed into his Light Form again.

The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack missed its target and smashed directly into the underground magma!

Boom!

The magma, struck by the attack, instantly exploded!

Pillars of magma shot high into the sky!

Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths, controlling the bodies of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, continuously attached them to the erupting magma pillars.

As for Sōsuke Aizen, who had transformed into his Light Form, allowing these magma pillars to strike him did nothing.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Mother, Sōsuke Aizen in this form seems to be immune to many attacks. We must trap him first."

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's eyes were cold and clear, but she took Black Zetsu's suggestion to heart.

With a shift in her mind.

With a hum, space changed once again!

The entire world was filled with a blue hue, and the pervasive cold air seemed capable of freezing everything!

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, who were nearby, were also transferred along with him.

Looking at the scene before them, they said in a deep voice, "This time, is it the Freezing Space..."

Just as the Sage of Six Paths had said, this ability called Amenominaka possesses many dimensions with extreme environments.

Sōsuke Aizen scanned his surroundings and said calmly, "This time, it's the Frozen World..."

As his voice fell, he looked at Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and said calmly, "You don't think changing the environment will be enough to defeat me, do you?"

"Mother, don't waste words on him, eliminate him quickly!"

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was thinking the same thing, even without Black Zetsu's reminder.

Continuously using Amenominaka had consumed a lot of her Chakra, and she could not sustain this much longer.

With a shift in her mind.

The solid ice in the entire Freezing Space instantly began to writhe, launching fierce attacks toward Sōsuke Aizen!

Sōsuke Aizen narrowed his eyes and said, "I see. So you can even control the natural environment within the dimension...".

Chapter 157

Whoosh—

Inside the Frozen Space, the biting cold wind felt like knives scraping across one's face.

Massive ice pillars suddenly rose up, attacking Sōsuke Aizen.

Combined with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack striking from above, Sōsuke Aizen's range of movement was immediately restricted.

And this was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's goal.

Sōsuke Aizen's eyes were calm as he coolly assessed the movements around him.

At the same time, he did his best to evade the attacks coming from all directions.

The chilling air emanating from every ice pillar attack caused Sōsuke Aizen's body to feel stiff.

It felt as if he was being frozen solid.

He tried to use his Light Form to break through the encirclement, but when his Light Particles touched the solid ice.

The Light Particles seemed to gain substance, and wisps of cold air rose from them, freezing them instantly in mid-air.

This discovery made Sōsuke Aizen's eyes narrow.

Even light could be frozen.

The ice here is cold to this extent... His Light Form mode seems to have lost its intended effect in this Frozen World.

Senju Tobirama, who had been constantly watching Sōsuke Aizen and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, also noticed Sōsuke Aizen's predicament.

"Sōsuke Aizen seems to be losing ground."

Senju Tobirama looked at Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's methods of attack and Sōsuke Aizen's hurried attempts to cope, feeling a sudden sense of emotion.

Sōsuke Aizen, who previously stepped on everyone, unexpectedly had such a desperate moment.

Indeed.

As the Ancestor of Chakra, the power Ōtsutsuki Kaguya possessed was beyond the reach of anyone else.

If this continues, will Sōsuke Aizen, the rock weighing down their hearts, finally be defeated?

However.

After Sōsuke Aizen is defeated, an even greater crisis awaits the Shinobi World.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Although it sounds like her goal is to deal with the Outsider from Beyond the Heavens, she is also genuinely threatening the lives of the humans in the Shinobi World.

If Ōtsutsuki Kaguya collects everyone's Chakra, she might indeed use that power to resist the attack of the Outsider from Beyond the Heavens.

But the Shinobi World would effectively cease to exist.

This would be no different from being invaded by the Outsider from Beyond the Heavens.

However.

If, as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya claims, Sōsuke Aizen is that Outsider from Beyond the Heavens.

Then it seems Ōtsutsuki Kaguya doesn't need to resort to such extreme measures to defeat Sōsuke Aizen.

After the battle ends, perhaps they can talk with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and try to use negotiation to find a glimmer of hope for the Shinobi World.

Moreover.

They currently have no other option besides negotiation.

Whether it is Sōsuke Aizen or Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Neither of these two is an existence they can defeat.

Negotiation is the only means left... though to call it negotiation is really just begging for mercy.

Senju Tobirama gave a self-deprecating smile.

Having lived in the Shinobi World for so many years, this was the first time he had felt so powerless.

Whether it was during the Warring States Period period or after founding Konoha, when had they ever been reduced to begging others for mercy?

Truly, the world is unpredictable... The more he thought about it, the more complicated Senju Tobirama's feelings became.

Senju Hashirama didn't have as many complex thoughts as Senju Tobirama, but he was also worried about the unknown future of the Shinobi World.

However, the Sage of Six Paths's words pulled both of them out of this emotional state.

The Sage of Six Paths carefully observed the battle between Sōsuke Aizen and his Mother, saying in a deep voice, "Mother, even after being sealed for a thousand years, her strength is still so formidable."

Seeing his incomparably magnificent Mother before him, he couldn't help but recall the memory of how difficult it was for him and Hamura to barely manage to Seal her back then.

Now.

Mother has broken the Seal, but the Shinobi World no longer possesses the power to Seal her again.

Moreover... "This is just Mother immediately after breaking the Seal, before she has fully recovered her peak strength."

Hearing the Sage of Six Paths's muttering, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama were suddenly startled.

They couldn't help but look toward Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

This immense strength—is it truly not Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's full power?

If she were to fully recover, how terrifying would she be?

Unfortunately, no one can stop Ōtsutsuki Kaguya now.

Surely, they can't place their hopes on Sōsuke Aizen?

Wait...
