Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: The Battle Begins

Masatsuki Aozaki seemed to see straight through Szayelaporro’s thoughts, and the smile on his face became all the more chilling.

"If that was your last resort, then you might as well accept your fate."

His voice was low and cold—like it came from the depths of the underworld.

"?"

Szayelaporro’s eyes widened in confusion as he stared at Masatsuki Aozaki, completely unable to grasp the meaning behind his words.

But at that moment, Masatsuki slowly raised his right hand and reached toward Szayelaporro’s chest.

A cold dread surged through Szayelaporro. The hairs all over his body stood on end.

Whatever Masatsuki was about to do—it couldn’t be anything good.

Retsu Unohana and Sōsuke Aizen stood quietly to the side, watching everything unfold.

Their expressions varied, but neither made a move to interfere.

Suddenly, a crimson rift ignited with blue flames opened out of thin air.

"?!"

Feeling the familiar presence behind him, Szayelaporro’s horror shifted instantly into delight.

His eyes widened as he shouted excitedly,

"Hahaha! It’s Hell! Hell still needs me!"

Black chains shot out from his body and connected to the gaping void.

As if seeing a sliver of hope, a smug grin spread across his face.

"No matter what tricks you’re planning, they’re meaningless."

His voice dripped with mockery.

"The power of Hell isn’t something a single person can defy!"

"Don’t worry—I’ll be back for you!"

Szayelaporro glared at Masatsuki Aozaki, voice full of venom.

"Wait for me... I’ll make sure you suffer more than ever."

Masatsuki, however, didn’t seem fazed by the threat in the slightest.

He just grinned, an eerie smile tugging at his lips.

"Amenominaka."

As he whispered, the surrounding space began to distort and ripple.

Szayelaporro’s eyes went wide, confusion overtaking his face as he stared at Masatsuki, wanting to ask what was happening.

And then—without a sound—a blonde woman appeared beside Masatsuki. She wore a flowing white robe, and over her eyes, a silver crown-like blindfold.

In her hand was a simple, unassuming long blade.

But the moment she gave it a gentle swing, a flash of cold light split the air—and the Hell chains shattered.

These were the chains of Hell—and they were cut so effortlessly, by a slash that seemed utterly weightless!

And as the chains broke, the crimson void behind Szayelaporro slowly began to close.

Szayelaporro stared, eyes wide in utter disbelief. He couldn’t even form a single word.

The laws of Hell, the power of Hell—had been severed, just like that!

"I told you already—this isn’t your turf. Why insist on reaching in and asking for trouble?"

Szayelaporro Apep swallowed hard as the long-haired man’s deep voice echoed in his ears.

Damn it... why is Masatsuki Aozaki so powerful...? Not even Hell can deal with him?!

Before long, Masatsuki Aozaki swiftly completed the process, skillfully transforming Szayelaporro into a pure soul and sealing him within a crystal-clear spirit orb.

Just as he had said—letting Szayelaporro die here and be reborn in Hell would’ve been letting him off too easy. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After all, Szayelaporro had once used Roka as an experiment, subjecting her to relentless torment.

Maybe Roka doesn’t hold a grudge... but Masatsuki hasn’t forgotten.

Roka had done a lot for Las Noches, even helping capture Bambietta. Of course Masatsuki would want to repay her.

Once the mass production of Hōgyoku begins, he’ll make sure the one crafted from Szayelaporro’s soul goes straight to Roka.

With that thought, a smile tugged at Masatsuki’s lips.

"One punch to finish the enemy—Captain Aozaki is incredible!"

"Yeah, truly amazing!"

Voices of praise from the other captains reached Masatsuki’s ears.

Clearly, what they saw didn’t match what Masatsuki had actually done. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Once the room quieted down, Yamamoto spoke.
