Chapter 486: The Destruction of Konoha

"How is this possible?"

"Is this a lie, Lord Aizen? It can't be real!"

The Konoha players all fell into silence.

Then came expressions of utter disbelief, and questions begging Aizen to deny it.

However, one could question anything, but one could never question the effect of a Samsara Game item.

A Dark Gold-grade 【Purification Effect】 item;

let alone Orochimaru, even ten Orochimarus could not possibly continue to control Lord Aizen.

Therefore, these words spoken by Aizen were entirely actions taken in a clear state of mind.

"Even when the truth is laid out before you, you still refuse to admit it. It is meaningless."

Aizen raised his head, looked at the Menos constantly pouring out of the rift, and sighed: "As expected, after leaving a familiar place for a period of time, even I would have feelings of nostalgia?"

When the falling Mitarashi Anko was about to be caught by someone,

a transparent Barrier repelled everyone.

Anko, with a blurred consciousness, was already unable to resist when she realized that Aizen had been an impostor from the very beginning.

Am I going to die?

Just as she held this thought, her chest, pierced by Aizen's palm, glowed faintly.

The anger and resentment of having her trust betrayed began to converge toward the glowing spot on her chest, seemingly about to condense into a pure white bone mask.

At the same time, the Menos that had just been shredded by Aizen's blade aura had its remains scattered on the ground, not dissipating.

Instead, they squirmed; every piece of scattered flesh crawled frantically toward the falling Anko like sharks that had caught the scent of blood.

Then, they were fused into Anko's chest.

"Aizen, what have you done to Anko!?"

Two Konoha players in a row had trusted Aizen so much, only to be mercilessly harmed by him.

Tsunade was furious and spoke up to question him.

A spear of brilliant golden light was thrown out, tearing through Aizen's body.

The next second, the shredded Aizen appeared on the rooftop of a high-rise building, standing side-by-side with Orochimaru.

"What a surprise. To get so close to me, are you not afraid that I will kill you, Aizen-kun?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

Although he said this, he actually lacked the sensory ability to grasp Aizen for the moment; the opponent's 【Kyoka Suigetsu】 Zanpakuto was too abnormal.

"If you say it like that, I will be sad. After all, we are teammates, Mr. Orochimaru."

Aizen shrugged indifferently, then looked at the angry Tsunade and explained: "Relax, I just put an item called a 【Fragment of the Soul King】 into her heart."

The original Hogyoku had already been returned to Ichimaru Gin.

However, Aizen had the ability to obtain another one, and he even used the Reinforcement function of the Samsara Game to improve the performance of this Hogyoku.

Its ability to help the host evolve was greatly enhanced.

Roar...

Countless Menos surged toward Anko's heart like moths to a flame, yet they were controlled by the greed for the Hogyoku.

The earth shook, tearing open rift after rift, and pitch-black death energy poured out continuously from the cracks in the ground.

Crack.

Responding from afar, the rift in the sky also gradually expanded; not only did the Menos Forest appear, but even the Soul Society felt the disturbance.

"Aizen, you really are a madman! Anko trusted you so much, and you actually want to turn her into a monster?!"

Tsunade, wreathed in golden holy light, raised a giant hammer and smashed it toward Aizen and Orochimaru.

"Aizen-kun, what a convenient ability..."

Orochimaru raised his hand, and necromantic energy erupted; a burly Ghoul general was summoned.

Its sturdy, Shield-like back withstood Tsunade's Holy Light Giant Hammer.

Orochimaru watched the motionless Aizen with great interest, understanding the opponent's ability and knowing that the one standing before him was not Aizen's true body. Even if Tsunade's giant hammer fell, Aizen would remain unscathed.

Therefore, he had to take the hit himself.

The Ghoul general that withstood the Holy Light Giant Hammer had its shriveled internal organs hammered out, and upon being exposed, they were scorched by the holy light.

It collapsed to the ground, losing its vitality.

Orochimaru didn't even blink; Ghouls like this were just consumables.

The special building of the 【Fire Empire Family】 is called the Ghoul Factory, which can continuously process high-quality Ghouls; by investing a small number of Reward Points, they can transform into a powerful legion.

Even if hundreds died, Orochimaru wouldn't care at all.

"Trust?"

Aizen closed his eyes and shook his head, saying gently: "Ms. Tsunade, if I may be blunt, trusting others and relying on others actually mean the same thing; they are both the actions of the weak."

"Since they are weak, they are destined to have no qualification to survive in a world of sin."

"I have never said that I wanted anyone to trust me."

He made no effort to hide his disgust for Konoha, as if his former gentleness had all been an act of endurance.

To him, the Konoha that slaughtered the Hot Spring ninja and usurped their home was no different from the crime-ridden Central 46.

They were all evils that had no need to continue existing.

"But, Lord Aizen was clearly so gentle! Damn it! Was it all a disguise?!"

The Konoha ninja were full of grief, but they had to admit the fact that Aizen was a traitor... no, an impostor from the very beginning.

They felt either the anger of being deceived or sorrow.

The repeated questioning and hateful gazes could not disturb Aizen's actions in the slightest.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he put on that gentle smile again, saying, "The Aizen you all know never existed from the very beginning."

Watching the Hogyoku gradually expand, it began to transform into the appearance of a Hollow, its aura constantly climbing: Adjuchas, Vasto Lorde... and then the power of an Arrancar, a Quincy...

Anko's final form: her legs were replaced by a white, bone-like snake tail reaching up to her abdomen, while her upper body was in the form of a butterfly covered in dense patterns, with four flapping wings on her back.

Each time they flapped, azure Cero were sprayed in all directions.

Anko had clearly lost consciousness.

The culprit that caused her to possess such a shell was the Hogyoku; the snake tail represented the obsession of being abandoned by Orochimaru, and the brilliantly patterned butterfly was the unwillingness after being deceived by Aizen for the second time.

The current Anko's aura had climbed to that of a new season Golden-tier dark boss.

"Very good, from now on, you are the ruler of the Menos Forest!"

Aizen looked at the fully-formed Anko and revealed a satisfied smile.

He began to exercise the power of the Clan Head.

【Defense Wall (Attack Mode) has been deactivated...】

【Wall Orb (Attack Mode) has been deactivated...】

【Ghost Giant Cannon (Attack Mode) has been deactivated...】

【Abyss Defense Tower (Attack Mode)...】

【You are the Clan Head of the Konoha Family. Are you sure you want to sell 【Konoha Family Lv. max (Tier 2)】 for the price of 10,000,000 Reward Points?】

Tip: You and the trading partner (Orochimaru) are not friends; please trade with caution.

Tip 2: Selling a family requires players with the 【Family Elder】 position; with over 70% of the members agreeing, it cannot be sold for the time being.

Looking at the text prompts flashing before his eyes, Aizen smiled indifferently and waved his hand lightly; the monster Hollow beside him that had fused with the Hogyoku let out a roar.

Endless Menos began to storm the Konoha Family.

"It doesn't matter, just kill all the Family Elders and Elites. Mr. Orochimaru, I will have to trouble you to help me."

"No problem, I would be happy to!"
