Gripping Hyorinmaru, Sora assumed a strange stance:
"Bankai: Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"
Powerful Reiatsu surged out, forming crystalline ice wings on Sora's body and dragon claws attached to his hands!
Hyorinmaru's Bankai reappeared!
Simultaneously, as Sora's Reiatsu naturally exerted itself, snow began to fall from the sky.
Everyone present could clearly feel the on-site temperature plummeting at lightning speed.
Crack crack crack crack—
Continuous freezing sounds arrived.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, before the snow from the sky could even land, a thick layer of ice had already formed on the ground!
"What... what's the temperature now?" Ameyuri asked in astonishment.
"I d-d-don't know, but it's definitely below zero, even more!" Mangetsu said, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.
The low temperature was simply too harsh for them, possessors of the Hydrification Kekkei Genkai!
"Should you leave first?" Seeing Mangetsu looking like he might freeze to death at any moment under Hyorinmaru's temperature drop, Ameyuri couldn't help but advise.
"N-n-no, how c-c-could I? Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch..." His teeth chattering, Mangetsu said: "Th-that's our most respected Kage in front! And the Kage is currently fighting a powerful enemy!"
"If the most critical enemy is being held off by the Kage, and I leave just like that, wouldn't it mean I'm completely useless?" Mangetsu retorted.
Looking at the somewhat worried Ameyuri, Mangetsu continued: "D-d-don't worry, I have Blut too. At worst, I'll just activate my Blut!"
"I'm staying because I can barely endure it. Once I can't endure anymore, I'll leave immediately!"
"Even though leaving is embarrassing, dying from the environmental side effects of my own Kage's attack would be too stupid!" Mangetsu said to Ameyuri.
"Alright then!" Hearing Mangetsu's words, Ameyuri nodded in relief.
Since Mangetsu could endure, then she would let it be!
At the very least, Mangetsu had Blut, so he wouldn't freeze to death!
After exchanging a few words, the two refocused their attention on the field.
At this moment, Madara's Susanoo had already had a layer of ice formed on its surface!
Seeing this, Sora mocked: "Already freezing? Looks like your Susanoo is far inferior to your ancestors'!"
"In the Pure Land, the temperature you're experiencing now is normal temperature. When they activate Susanoo for warmth, they aren't like you!"
"Hmph!" Having his Susanoo belittled made Madara very unhappy, but he couldn't refute it.
Since he couldn't refute, he could only speak with action.
Controlling the Susanoo, Madara began forming hand seals.
The next second, he flung several Yasaka Magatama!
Simultaneously, from the Susanoo's mouth, several clusters of black flames spat out.
"Sage Art: Amaterasu: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson: Yasaka Magatama Technique!"
Madara announced the technique's name.
Looking at the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson formed through hand seals, combined with Sage Art and Amaterasu, wrapped around Yasaka Magatama, Sora was also quite appreciating.
"Truly a complex technique!" Sora shook his head, not too concerned: "But for now, you should stop!"
Facing Madara, Sora raised his hand: "Thousand Year Ice Wall!"
A wall of ice, modified from the Thousand Years' Ice Prison, blocked the path in front of Sora.
The multi-faceted composite technique Madara spent so much effort on was thus blocked by Sora...
Not only that, with another swing from Sora, an ice dragon mixed with water erupted from Hyorinmaru!
Rumble rumble rumble—
Under powerful Reiatsu, brute force produced miracles. The ice dragon gave almost no reaction time, directly striking Madara.
Thud!
After a massive dull sound, Madara was sent flying heavily.
Simultaneously, due to the ice-water mixture of the previous attack, the water began freezing upon contact with Madara!
Before Madara could even attempt to rescue himself, he was frozen in a block of ice!
Seeing even this powerful Madara suppressed by him, Sora was also quite impressed.
'No wonder Aizen stopped using Kyoka Suigetsu in the later stages.'
'Indeed, if no one could defeat him, why bother toying with people? Why use Kyoka Suigetsu?'
For a moment, this filled Sora with a sense of pride.
And at this moment...
Boom!
A loud noise erupted. Madara, who had been sent flying, climbed up from the ground.
Looking at Sora ahead, Madara faced a dilemma.
Because Sora's strength was absolute strength, a kind of overwhelming superiority.
He hadn't noticed before, but now Madara did.
"No other way, must use the trump card!"
"Tailed Beast Chakra, emerge!"
With a low roar from Madara, the Tailed Beast's Chakra previously implanted within him appeared.
Then, colorful Tailed Beast's Chakra filled the Susanoo, and the Susanoo's aura grew stronger once more!
Not only that, Madara's Susanoo also increased slightly in size.
Looking down from on high, Madara gazed upon Sora.
"Yuki Sora, what do you think now?"
