Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Unable to Merge

"I’ve almost remembered your foolish and childish plan, but I can’t be bothered to learn more," Masatsuki Aozaki said casually.

"If I spend too much time talking to someone as immature as you, Aizen will mock me."

A faint smile played at the corner of his lips as he slowly raised his hand, pointing a single finger precisely at Kenpachi Azashiro.

In the next instant, an overwhelming and terrifying Reiatsu surged in his palm.

Boom!!

A black-and-white pillar of light shot from his fingertips like a bolt of lightning!

Chant abandoned—

Hadō No. 4: Byakurai!

Masatsuki Aozaki smiled indifferently, but a cold glint flickered in his eyes. The streak of black-and-white lightning carried an unstoppable force as it shot forth, enveloping Kenpachi Azashiro’s entire body.

Azashiro’s form shattered instantly under the impact—but just as quickly, it reassembled.

"Trying to run now?" Masatsuki Aozaki snorted.

"Too late!"

In a flash, he moved like light itself, his fist crashing forward with the force of a thunderclap.

Azashiro didn’t even consider dodging.

He knew it was impossible.

Instead, he chose to meet Masatsuki Aozaki’s fist head-on.

With a deafening explosion, Azashiro’s entire body burst apart, dissolving into a scattering of Reishi.

But in the very next second—

Several dozen meters away, another Kenpachi Azashiro emerged.

He was already preparing to manipulate the surroundings and launch an attack.

However, to his shock, Masatsuki Aozaki was already there, waiting at the exact spot where he had materialized.

"Pointless struggle."

Another punch.

Azashiro was blown apart once more.

In the past, such attacks would have meant nothing to him. He only needed to merge with the surrounding matter and reclaim his scattered Reishi to resurrect himself endlessly.

If Masatsuki Aozaki had the stamina, he could keep punching forever. Even if he exhausted himself, fists alone could never truly kill Azashiro.

As long as the Seireitei remained, he would not die.

If you have what it takes, then destroy the Seireitei!

However... that wasn’t an option now.

His earlier words were nothing more than an attempt to put pressure on Masatsuki Aozaki.

Muken was layered with countless seals and barriers, all designed to weaken prisoners like him.

Here, even a Zanpakutō’s abilities were severely restricted.

Trapped in this prison, he had no control over external Reishi—the only function they could serve was surveillance.

Even though his Bankai could still be maintained, both his fusion and control had been drastically weakened.

Simply put, the amount of his own Reishi required to reconstruct his body now was far greater than when he was outside.

And more importantly—

Masatsuki Aozaki’s attacks didn’t just shatter his body.

They were systematically destroying the Reishi that made up his existence.

Every "death" he suffered here drained him irreparably.

His true consciousness—his soul’s core—was what had been imprisoned.

If the Reishi in this place were to be completely depleted...

Even if there were fragments of him remaining outside—

There would be no escape from death.

Although his soul wouldn’t be completely annihilated, a Captain-class Reiatsu would ultimately fall into Hell.

However, in a pure soul state, he would lose all self-awareness, reduced to a primitive existence—mindless, devoid of ego or thought. In such a state, even Bankai could no longer be maintained. The Reishi that had once fused with Seireitei would fully become part of the natural world.

As his body was blown apart once more, Kenpachi Azashiro realized this couldn’t continue.

He didn’t immediately reconstruct himself. Instead, he manipulated the dwindling Reishi he had left and scattered like the wind, drifting into the distance.

Muken had long been reshaped into a unique space, layered with countless barriers. It was a chaotic void—devoid of light, indistinguishable from darkness, and even Reiatsu perception was hazy and unreliable.

If he could put enough distance between himself and Masatsuki Aozaki, avoiding direct confrontation, then it would be difficult for the other man to pinpoint his presence in a short amount of time.

Even if Masatsuki Aozaki’s Reiatsu perception was extraordinary, with billions of Reishi dispersed across every corner of Muken, completely eradicating him would be impossible—unless Masatsuki Aozaki obliterated Muken itself.

And then, despite their fear, excitement stirred in them as they stared at the chaotic, empty void ahead. _{fr\eewebno vel .c(o)m}
