Chapter 239

Suddenly, a large, disk-shaped, pure white radiance appeared in the sky above Soul Society!

A beam of light shot up from the ground, piercing through the luminous disk in the sky!

Simultaneously, pure white light waves surged forth, dancing like gigantic, turbulent waves.

The light waves spread rapidly, freezing everything in their path!

Streets, buildings.

Even the Tailed Beast Ball merely one meter away from Kuchiki Rukia, and the Four-Tails behind it!!

In less than one second, a scene resembling a vast blue glacier filled everyone's vision!

Before the projection, everyone stared dumbfounded at this reversed situation!

Complete silence reigned!

After a long pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen's lips trembled as he spoke: "The Tailed Beast Ball... has been frozen?!!"

Just how terrifying must the power be to instantly freeze an already erupted Tailed Beast Ball!!

Gulp!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his pupils trembling as he stared at Kuchiki Rukia, who had undergone a drastic transformation!

Her hair, eyes, and entire body had turned snow-white.

Her original black-and-white Shinigami Uniform transformed into a silver-white celestial robe adorned with white ribbons, complemented by a white flower hair ornament on her head.

Combined with an expression that disregarded everything.

A goddess!!

Just like a goddess!!

This title instantly flooded Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, refusing to dissipate.

Holding the transparent Sode no Shirayuki, Kuchiki Rukia, at this very moment, looked exactly like an ice goddess judging the human world!

All those she deemed guilty would be frozen by her!

"Is this... the power of Sode no Shirayuki's Second Release..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly, murmuring.

Now, he finally understood what Kuchiki Rukia had just said.

The Second Release incantation of Sode no Shirayuki!

Backup 2 Group 8 (Nine)

"So this is the true power of Sode no Shirayuki..."

"Whether it is the Tailed Beast Ball or the Tailed Beast itself, none can escape Sode no Shirayuki's freeze!"

How could such power possibly be wielded by a human?

How could this be something a human is capable of using?!

Why, of all people, must it be someone from the Land of Whirlpools who wields it!!!

A sudden sense of powerlessness rose in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart; what exactly remained that could restrain the Land of Whirlpools?

Senju Base.

Uzumaki Mito sighed softly: "The Land of Whirlpools has grown stronger again."

The Nine-Tails snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, that Four-Tails is truly shaming all Tailed Beasts, actually getting frozen into an ice pop by such a little girl!"

Land of Wind, Sunagakure.

The Third Kazekage's eyes suddenly became bloodshot as he stared deathly at the scene within the projection.

In merely the blink of an eye, the situation had suddenly reversed!

That invincible, unstoppable Tailed Beast Ball, capable of easily destroying an entire Ninja Village, had actually been frozen?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have scoffed had anyone told him such a thing.

What kind of Ninja World joke are you playing?

That is a Tailed Beast Ball!

Ever since Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama passed away, no one has been able to withstand a Tailed Beast Ball!

The only method was to flee!

One could only flee!

Once a Tailed Beast Ball erupted, the area affected would be an entire Ninja Village!

And now, he had actually witnessed with his own eyes that Tailed Beast Ball, capable of destroying an entire Ninja Village, being frozen solid by someone?!

The Third Kazekage did not realize that his body was trembling slightly.

It was fear!

It was the body's instinctive fear!

Land of Earth, Iwagakure.

Tsuchikage Ohnoki's gaze blurred slightly, as if he dared not believe what he saw.

"Did I... see that wrong?"

Am I getting old, my vision failing?

What had he seen? He had actually seen the Tailed Beast Ball turn into a huge ball of ice!!

He rubbed his eyes hard, and only when the image before him did not change did a wordless shock rise in his heart!

Not only the Tailed Beast Ball, but even the Four-Tails had become an Ice Sculpture!

Such magnificent power!

Could it be that this Captain named Kuchiki Rukia has already reached the level of Uchiha Madara?

Recalling the Asura of the Ninja World he had once witnessed firsthand, he now seemed to remember again those days when Konoha, Uchiha Madara, and Senju Hashirama suppressed the world!

Those days left one gasping for breath with every inhale!

And now, this Kuchiki Rukia brought him that same feeling once again!

Was the Land of Whirlpools about to become the new strongest power in the Ninja World?

The Land of Lightning.

Seeing this scene, all the people felt their hearts sink.

The rescue teams from the Land of Lightning were dwindling by the moment.

Moreover, how could anyone possibly counter a move like this, which resembled a divine miracle!

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

Lord Raikage, can he really still be saved?

If before they had been brimming with confidence, now, after watching several battles, they suddenly felt hope was slim.

Just as they were trapped in indescribable shock, unable to extricate themselves, the image in the projection changed once more.

A gentle wind blew past.

Everyone and everything frozen by Kuchiki Rukia turned into ice shards, drifting along with the wind.

Driven by this wind, the Tailed Beast Ball slowly dissipated from top to bottom.

This scene shocked everyone once again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured, "The Tailed Beast Ball was frozen into scraps?"

"Then doesn't that mean the Four-Tails also..."

"Impossible!"

Two-Balance Ohnoki suddenly stood up, staring intently at the ice sculpture formed from the Four-Tails.

"Impossible! The Four-Tails definitely won't die just like this!!"

It had been frozen several times before, hadn't it successfully broken free each time?

This time would surely be no different!

Clinging to hope, Two-Balance Ohnoki looked at the Four-Tails' ice sculpture with expectant eyes.

Move! Move, damn it!!

Swish—

As if hearing Two-Balance Ohnoki's inner plea, the Four-Tails successfully moved.

However, what filled him with despair was that the Four-Tails met the same fate as the Tailed Beast Ball.

From head to tail, it turned into ice shards and was carried away by the wind.

The expression on its face one second before turning into ice shards was still that of a ferocious demon with its mouth wide open.

This alone was enough to show that when the Four-Tails was frozen, it hadn't even had time to react!
