Sora smiled faintly:
"That's right, a Zanpakuto is not an ordinary sword. They have names, even wills. If the sword master is willing, the Zanpakuto can even exist in human form."
"At the same time, each Zanpakuto accompanies the Shinigami from the time of the Shin'o Academy, which is like the Ninja Academy period. Shinigami carry their Zanpakuto with them when they eat and sleep."
"Shinigami are a long-lived species, living for hundreds or even thousands of years easily."
"During the long companionship, the Zanpakuto is also engraved with the Shinigami's imprint, and then awakens its true name and special abilities!"
"And my Hyorinmaru's ability is ice. The strongest Ice-Type Zanpakuto, that is my Hyorinmaru!"
"As for the illusion ability, that belongs to another one, named Kyoka Suigetsu!"
"Kyoka Suigetsu has fused with my sword, and its ability is called… Complete Hypnosis!"
"Complete Hypnosis!!?" Hearing Sora's words, the Sage of Six Paths was shocked!
He knew about hypnosis, and had some guesses about what 'Complete Hypnosis' specifically meant, but didn't dare be certain.
But just the fact that a sword could hypnotize someone was already astounding!
"Correct, Complete Hypnosis!" Sora continued: "It dominates the opponent's five senses, making them completely believe in the appearance, form, quality, sensation, even smell of a specific object as what the master, meaning me, desires."
"This is Kyoka Suigetsu's ability!"
"In your perception, my sword slash came from the front, but it could very well be from behind!"
"And when you think it's from behind, my blade might have already been at your side, resting on your neck!"
"Understand? Everything about you is under my control!"
"Even..."
As he spoke, Sora willed it.
In the Sage of Six Paths' perception, Sora's aura slowly changed.
The next second, a woman with horns on her forehead, hair as black as ink, no eyebrows but with two small dots instead, and a third eye in the center of her forehead, the Rinne Sharingan, appeared behind the Sage of Six Paths!
It seemed the person holding the sharp blade piercing the Sage of Six Paths was precisely this woman!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
And the moment he saw this woman, feelings of guilt, remorse, and even fear, all mixed together, made the Sage of Six Paths shoot backwards off Sora's blade like lightning!
Squelch!
The pierced heart was forcibly pulled from the blade, spurting fierce streams of blood. On the Sage of Six Paths' chest, blood flowed out as if a dam had burst.
The red blood soaked and stained his white robes, but the Sage of Six Paths couldn't care less.
Because he was just staring dumbfounded at the suddenly appeared Kaguya, utterly shocked!
As the Sage of Six Paths, he naturally wouldn't normally lose his composure like this, but the problem was, in his perception at this moment, the woman before him was his dear mother, the genuine Otsutsuki Kaguya!
For a moment, the Sage of Six Paths even wondered if his mother had been released and was playing a joke on him.
Then, the Sage of Six Paths heard Kaguya Otsutsuki speak leisurely: "What's wrong, son? Don't recognize your father?"
Sage of Six Paths: "..."
"Huu…"
Closing his eyes, he let out a long sigh, adjusting his emotions.
The next second, opening his eyes again, sure enough, he saw Sora dispel the illusion of Kaguya, returning to his own appearance!
But remembering everything that just happened, a lingering sense of regret remained in the Sage of Six Paths' heart.
"Complete Hypnosis, such an unreasonable ability!"
The Sage of Six Paths looked at Sora, his gaze dawning with understanding: "No wonder, no wonder even after I strengthened so many people, none could pose a threat to you!"
"Many people on the surface probably died confused under this Kyoka Suigetsu, right!"
"Indeed!" Sora nodded: "And you, my enemy, will also soon die under Kyoka Suigetsu!"
"But I'm very curious!" Sora looked at the Sage of Six Paths' heart area.
Seeing the Sage of Six Paths losing a large amount of blood, yet his own aura hadn't weakened in the slightest, Sora was puzzled: "Can you tell me how to kill you?"
"I noticed when I pierced you earlier, there is substance inside your body, but after being pierced, you were only injured, without that kind of weakness from a severe wound!"
"While I was talking just now, I've been constantly sensing your body. It seems you no longer have the vital points of an ordinary person?"
Speaking to this point, Sora also found it very strange.
The Sage of Six Paths is currently a spiritual body, but his spiritual body is different from those in the Soul Society.
It's like a spiritual body with the Ninja World's characteristics.
Spiritual bodies in the Soul Society have two major vital points: the Hakusui and the Saketsu.
But the Sage of Six Paths' body lacks these, and it seems he is just a mass of aggregated gas!
And not even the kind of high-pressure, condensed balloon that pops when poked.
Or perhaps, using a gas-filled balloon as a metaphor isn't appropriate.
The Sage of Six Paths is more like the water balloons Naruto trained with, except the balloons aren't filled with water, but with glue!
