One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"Sun Wukong".

Aizen's voice regained its elegant yet alluring magnetism.

"Although you have entered the realm of gods, your heart and soul are still filled with mortal emotions."

"Friendship, anger, protection..."

He extended a finger and gently shook it.

"And these are your biggest weaknesses."

The moment the words fell.

Aizen's right hand was already gripping the ancient katana at his waist.

hum.

The clear, resonant sound of the sword echoed deep within everyone's soul.

He smiled and slowly drew the Zanpakuto named "Kyoka Suigetsu".

"Break."

He spoke softly in an elegant tone, as if reciting poetry.

"Mirror Flower, Water Moon".

The sound wasn't loud.

But like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, it ripples outwards in circles throughout the space.

next second.

Sun Wukong's body, in a state of perfect freedom and ultimate mastery, automatically reacted perfectly to this unknown danger.

His body instantly retreated, creating a distance of tens of meters.

Every movement was fluid and flawless.

However, the moment he regained his footing...

His silver pupils, reflecting the stars and the sea, narrowed slightly.

Not right.

The surrounding scenery began to distort.

The hard, cold arena beneath my feet is rapidly fading, transforming into a familiar, earthy meadow.

The crumbling mountains and endless void in the distance are being replaced by azure skies and white clouds.

The Realm of Nothingness... vanished.

Instead, there was the Earth, which he knew all too well!

"this……"

Even in a state of perfect freedom and ultimate mastery, Sun Wukong's heart was still stirred.

He saw the familiar Turtle Hermit House in the distance.

Followed by.

He heard a scream that made his blood freeze!

"Wukong... Wukong!"

Sun Wukong suddenly turned his head!

In the open space in front of Master Roshi's house, Krillin, the bald little guy he knew best, was lying on the ground covered in wounds!

Beside him, Master Roshi, also covered in wounds, was struggling to fend off a nightmare that was suspended in mid-air and that he would never forget for the rest of his life!

Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe!

Frieza was using his long tail to wrap around Krillin's neck, lifting him high in the air, a cruel and mocking smile on his face.

"Hohohoho! Sun Wukong! We meet again!"

"Look at your useless friends, still so easily defeated!"

"Then, let's start with this bald guy and let you relive the despair you felt on Namek!"

Click!

Frieza's tail suddenly tightened!

Klin's face instantly turned purple, his legs kicked weakly, and his eyes were filled with pain and pleading!

"Krillin!!!"

A roar from the depths of his soul erupted from Sun Wukong's mouth!

The memories of Namek, the fear and anger that were repeatedly ignited, were like a flood that burst its banks, instantly destroying his newly established "realm" belonging to the gods!

He didn't even have time to think about why Krillin and Master Roshi, who had already been eliminated, would appear here!

Why is Frieza here?!

His body, his instincts, his Saiyan spirit of protecting his comrades—all of these drive everything about him!

Rush!

Save people!

He rushed forward instinctively, and the originally peaceful and smooth silver aura on his body became momentarily and fatally disordered due to this extremely intense emotional fluctuation!

A silvery radiance, flashing wildly!

It's now!

Just as Sun Wukong was thrown into a state of mental confusion by the illusion.

A cold, malevolent voice, filled with extreme malice, echoed behind him like a ghost.

"Got you?"

Aizen Sousuke's figure quietly appeared behind Son Goku.

His fingertips were filled with a high concentration of spiritual pressure, as black as ink, and he slowly chanted in a tone that proclaimed the final judgment.

"Ninety of the Binding Paths"

"The black coffin!"

boom--!!!!

A gigantic, pitch-black energy cube filled with ominous runes appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the dazed Sun Wukong!

A terrifying gravitational torrent!

A dimensional slash that warps space!

Countless destructive forces raged wildly within that dark cage, threatening to crush, tear apart, and reduce everything inside to primordial nothingness!

"it's over."

Aizen stood outside the black coffin, calmly watching the energy cube slowly closing, his face once again displaying that confident smile of complete control.

however!

Just as the black coffin was about to completely close, turning its interior into absolute nothingness in the final instant!

An unexpected change occurred!

An arm wreathed in brilliant silver flames, exuding a sacred aura.

From the inside, they forcefully seized the crack that was about to close the black coffin!

then.

Sizzle—!!!

With a tooth-grinding tearing sound, the supposedly unbreakable ultimate Kido was ripped open from the inside by that arm, leaving a huge crack!

Sun Wukong, perfectly at ease and in complete control, slowly walked out from there.

He was completely unharmed.

The turbulent energy around him, powerful enough to tear space apart, couldn't even stir a single hair on his head.

However, his silver eyes became colder and deeper than ever before.

The illusion has vanished.

"I see."

Sun Wukong calmly looked at Aizen in front of him.

"Your ability is to control 'cognition'."

"snort."

Aizen's plan was instantly seen through, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all; instead, it was filled with even greater interest.

"So what if you see through it?"

He confidently spread his hands, as if showing off his masterpiece.

"Once you have witnessed my liberation, from that moment on, your five senses, your thoughts, and all your cognition will forever be under my control."

Is the me you see the real me?

"Is the sound you heard real?"

"Is the space you inhabit truly reality?"

"Sun Wukong, welcome to my world."

However, this seemingly unsolvable, absolute ability to manipulate people's hearts remains a challenge.

A lazy, childish complaint suddenly rang in their ears at the same time.

"It's so noisy."

In the corner, Lynn, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned widely.

"No."

He wiggled his chubby little legs and casually corrected Aizen, who looked confident of victory.

"His 'cognition' no longer belongs to him."

"It belongs to the 'universe'."

"Your illusion magic is quite good."

Lynn grinned, revealing a smile that looked like he was looking at an idiot.

"But... it doesn't work on the 'universe'."

The moment the words left his mouth, Aizen Sousuke's handsome and refined face froze completely for the first time.

invalid?

How is that possible!

The power of "illusory beauty" is absolute!

It is complete hypnosis that controls the five senses!

Once you've witnessed the moment of liberation, you're forever under their control! This is their most fundamental and proudest foundation, the cornerstone leading to the throne of God!

Aizen's eyes instantly turned cold, and his spiritual pressure surged once more as he pushed the power of Kyoka Suigetsu to its limit!

Illusion, rise again!

This time, it's not Earth, and it's not the enemy of the past.

Instead, it's a simpler, more direct, and more lethal attack!

In Sun Wukong's "vision," Hit behind him suddenly unleashed a chilling killing intent in his eyes, silently activating "Time Flash," delivering a powerful hand chop aimed straight for Sun Wukong's back!

Faced with this fatal betrayal from his "ally," Sun Wukong, in his perfect and unparalleled state, made the most incomprehensible reaction.

He didn't turn around.

There wasn't even the slightest defensive movement.

He simply... shifted one step to the left.

It's that simple.

He narrowly avoided the fatal blow that should have been coming from behind him.

At the same time, his body sank slightly, his right fist clenched, and he slammed it out hard into the empty air in front of him!

boom!

A dull thud resounded in reality!

Aizen Sousuke's figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost. His Zanpakuto, "Kyoka Suigetsu," which was already unsheathed and ready to stab Son Goku in the back, was blocked with perfect precision by Son Goku's precognitive punch!

At the point where fists and swords clashed, dazzling sparks erupted!

At this moment, Aizen's composure and smile completely vanished.

His deep eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were filled with an uncontrollable, intense tremor!

He got it.

He finally understood what the two-year-old child meant!

Perfected Ultimate is no longer just about Goku fighting as an "individual"!

Rather, it is his body and his soul that have achieved a certain degree of synchronization with the laws governing the entire universe!

His own illusions could deceive Sun Wukong's eyes, his ears, and even his mind!

But you can't fool the universe!

The universe will tell Sun Wukong's body where the real danger comes from!

Faced with this ultimate cheat that can be described as "full-view vision," his proud complete hypnosis became a complete joke!

"hehe……"

"Hehehehehehehehehehehe!"

Aizen suddenly let out a low, then manic laugh.

He sheathed his Zanpakuto, slowly backed away, and adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on his nose that symbolized "intellect" and "disguise."

"I see, I see..."

"This is...fantastic!"

"Sun Wukong, you've given me a wonderful surprise!"

"Since that's the case..."

Aizen's fanatical smile vanished abruptly, replaced by an icy indifference that seemed utterly inhuman.

"The plan has been moved up."

He spoke slowly, in a tone that sounded like a final judgment.

next second.

He stretched out his right hand and gently placed his long, slender, fair palm on the battered arena beneath his feet.

Buzz—! ! ! ! ! !

In an instant, the whole world lit up!

Golden patterns, inscribed with countless complex, bizarre, and incomprehensible runes, spread wildly in all directions from Aizen's palm like a spider web!

Just one second!

The entire vast and boundless Realm of Nothingness, the enormous arena with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, along with the surrounding ruins, all of space, was completely covered by this suddenly appearing, unprecedentedly huge magic circle!

Golden light shot into the sky!

High in the stands.

The high priest, who had always been calm and composed, as if everything was irrelevant to him and he was simply performing his duties, showed an undisguised and intense emotion on his face for the first time!

The scepter in his hand trembled slightly because of the terrifying aura that suddenly appeared, a aura powerful enough to shake the very foundations of the universe!

"This...this is..."

For the first time, the High Priest rose from his throne!

His face was filled with astonishment!

On the battlefield.

Aizen slowly raised his hand, feeling the unimaginable energy flowing back from the entire magic circle. His face revealed an unprecedented, intoxicated, maniacal laugh, like that of an addict!

"Did you see that, everyone?!"

"Do you see that?! Deities!"

"This is the real script! This is my ultimate goal!"

He spread his arms wide, like a theatrical performer about to take the stage, revealing his ultimate, insane ambition to the entire universe!

"With the spiritual pressure of all the warriors of the Tournament of Power as a sacrifice!"

"Using the 'nothingness' of the realm of nothingness as the furnace!"

"With my will at its core..."

"Rebuild!"

"Hogyoku—!!!!"

He doesn't want to win the game!

champion?

He disdained that kind of boring stuff from the very beginning!

What he wants is to use this war of gods, which brings together the top powerhouses of the twelve universes, and this "nothingness" that is independent of all universes, to complete his greatest creation!

He created one that surpassed the original, absorbed the essence of twelve powerful beings from the universe, enough to allow him to devour the Omni-King and ascend to the throne of Heaven…

[Super Hogyoku]!

"Aaaaaaah!"

"My power... my power is draining away!"

"What happened! I can't move my body!"

The moment the magic circle was fully activated, all the contestants who were still fighting felt an irresistible and terrifying suction force coming from beneath their feet!

Their strength, their energy, their life force are being frantically and savagely drained by the golden magic circle beneath their feet!

Several weaker cosmic warriors didn't even have time to scream before their eyes rolled back and they fainted. Their bodies quickly withered and turned into pure nutrients for the magic array!

Just then.

A golden figure suddenly appeared beside Aizen.

It is none other than the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza!

Instead of having his power absorbed by the magic circle, he exuded a powerful aura and floated in mid-air with a smug look on his face, acting as a protector for Aizen, who was presiding over the ceremony.

"Hehehe, Lord Aizen."

Frieza let out a sneer, his gaze sweeping over the "strong" beings struggling below.

"Don't forget our promise!"

"Don't worry." Aizen didn't turn his head; his entire focus was on the changing sky above him. "Once I ascend the throne of Heaven, what harm is there in sharing half of this decaying universe with you!"

"You bastard!"

In the distance, Kaido of the Beasts, who had just regained some of his strength, saw this scene and his eyes widened in fury!

He forced out the last bit of strength from his body and slammed the spiked club hard into the magic array patterns on the ground!

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

On the other side, Jiren, Shanks, and Whitebeard, these powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of their respective worlds, also made their moves at the same time, attempting to destroy the evil magic circle that was devouring everything!

However, their attacks, whether it was Kaido's Conqueror's Haki or Jiren's energy blasts, were like mud sinking into the sea when they landed on those golden patterns, without causing the slightest ripple!

Moreover, the enormous energy contained in those attacks was completely absorbed by the magic array!

The golden light grew even more dazzling! The magic array, in fact, operated even faster due to their attacks!

"It's no use! It's no use!"

Aizen's maniacal laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

"Within this magic circle built upon the foundation of 'nothingness,' all power that is 'existent' will be absorbed, becoming the cornerstone for the birth of the new world!"

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

The entire Realm of Nothingness began to collapse violently!

A massive black vortex appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun!

That was a spatial barrier forcibly torn apart by the magic array! Countless laws of the universe—physical, energetic, temporal, and spatial—were frantically intertwining, colliding, and then shattering within that enormous vortex!

And right in the center of that chaotic vortex.

An indescribable "heart," seemingly formed from the purest desires and malice, is slowly taking shape!

With each pulsation, the entire Realm of Nothingness trembled!

With each beat, it exudes endless possibilities that would make all the gods tremble!

That is, the Super Hogyoku!

"it's over!"

Aizen spread his arms wide, his face showing a fanatical expression of bliss, ready to welcome the supreme authority that was about to descend upon him!

"Starting today!"

"I will become the new creator god—!!!!!"
