"Whether ungracious or not, I don't know, but 'treacherous' certainly fits."
Zeref calmly looked at Aizen Sōsuke.
"What kind of person you are, I believe Hinamori Momo, who stands beside you, understands very well."
"Captain Aizen, your reputation is really bad!" Hinamori Momo looked at her Captain, then backed away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"How truly heartbreaking, Vice-Captain Hinamori, I've been quite good to you lately."
"That's on the premise that I don't interfere with your plans, just like how you're quite good to your 'son', Kurosaki Ichigo."
Hinamori Momo's words made the composed Aizen Sōsuke's expression falter, almost not reacting, but he quickly understood what Hinamori Momo was mocking.
Seeing Hinamori Momo hide far away, Aizen Sōsuke felt a bit speechless.
However, as a big boss, one cannot casually show expressions that do not fit their character. He withdrew his gaze and turned his eyes towards Zeref in the distance.
"If you want to fight, you can, don't worry about the safety of others."
A girl's voice came from somewhere unknown, and Aizen Sōsuke and Zeref frowned slightly upon hearing it.
The Group Leader…
However, if that's the case, then good.
Aizen also had the intention of fighting people from different worlds, but he had to keep things within reasonable limits.
On the other side, Zeref didn't know what the Group Leader truly meant, but as a Grand Magus at the peak of this world, he felt a strong pressure slowly spreading over him.
"I am not like the Captains in your world who you can cut down like melons." After muttering this, dark black magic power surged around Zeref.
As a powerful being who had lived for four hundred years and mastered almost all magic in this world, he rarely used his power due to his own curse, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong.
Vast magic power, like a surging torrent, instantly spread out.
Extremely terrifying energy collided with the spiritual pressure released by Aizen Sōsuke.
Bang—
At the point of collision, space showed signs of distortion.
The unrestrained aftermath spread outwards in all directions from the two of them.
Just then, four golden pillars of light rose from the ground.
The pillars of light were very transparent, almost covering nearly a third of Tenrou Island.
The light emitted by the golden pillars of light formed a huge barrier that extended high into the sky.
The two innocent bystanders, Kinomoto Sakura and Shana, were preparing to defend against the aftermath.
Tiny golden lights fell upon them, and in the blink of an eye, the pervasive pressure and energy was erased, as if it had never existed.
An astonished expression appeared on Shana's face.
"What is this?"
"It was done by the owner of that voice just now." The pendant on Shana's chest spoke with shock in its voice.
Shana might not be clear, but Alastor, as a Lord of the Crimson Realm, was very knowledgeable.
What it meant to have energy that was completely imperceptible.
The dimension of that voice's owner was far higher than his peak, by a significant margin.
Only then would he be completely unable to perceive it.
"Shana, retract your power. Watch closely, what happens next might be a very rare experience for you." Alastor's voice once again reached Shana.
Hearing this, Shana nodded, and the flames on her blade quickly dissipated.
In fact, Shana was also very clear that with the pressure just now, she probably wouldn't be able to resist it even with all her might.
On Kinomoto Sakura's side, Kero also told her similar words.
So, Sakura retreated to a distance, focusing on the confrontation between Aizen Sōsuke and Zeref.
The one who was rather helpless was Himamori Momo. With a Hollowfication hair ornament appearing on her hair, and with Tobiume's reminder, she, who didn't want to interfere in the battle of two big bosses, ran to a position close to the golden pillars of light.
Within a ten-meter radius of the pillars of light, the spreading pressure and energy suddenly dissipated.
"Is this place what games in the real world call a safe zone?" Hinamori Momo couldn't help but complain.
Aizen Sōsuke and Zeref, though in a standoff, were also paying attention to the few people around them, as they didn't want anything to happen and made the Group Leader angry.
Both of them had also given it some thought.
"So that's it, group members who cannot resist will be instantly protected by the energy of the light pillars."
"Those who have the ability to resist will only avoid being caught in the crossfire after entering the safe zone."
Upon reaching this conclusion, both of them also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zeref, I believe you are also very clear about the Group Leader's wishes." Aizen said, looking at Zeref opposite him.
"Hmph, I don't think I'll lose to you." Saying this, Zeref released even more powerful magic power.
In an instant, the cloudless sky was stained by a vast magic power, gradually taking on a dim color.
"Oh, interesting."
Aizen was not to be outdone either; the spiritual pressure emanating from him was much denser than before, and even the white outer coat he wore swayed slightly in the storm of spiritual pressure.
Terrifying energy collided once again.
The central area where the two stood, the distortion became even greater, and even the ground emitted a slight tremor.
"So… so scary, Kero." Kinomoto Sakura hugged Kero, trembling.
Is this the world of the big shots?
She had only just become a Cardcaptor a few days ago; she had never encountered such a scene.
"Sakura, just get close to the golden pillar of light like that girl, and then you won't have to worry."
Although Kero's expression was also solemn, compared to Kinomoto Sakura, who understood nothing, he still maintained the dignity of a guardian.
Sakura quickly ran to the side of the pillar of light, feeling a gentle aura emanating from the pillar.
The panic in her heart slowly subsided.
Just then, a dimensional teleportation gate opened.
A man with spiky hair and red armor slowly walked out.
And another young man beside him walked directly towards the position of the light pillar.
"Aizen Sōsuke, Zeref… could there actually be something so interesting?" The man with his arms crossed was none other than Uchiha Madara.
He had gathered the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts, cultivated Sage Mode, and mastered the Sage Body.
He was just one step away from Six Paths level.
He had seen the Group Leader's live broadcast in the Chat Group and had rushed over in a hurry.
How could such a valuable battlefield not have his presence?
Thus, Uchiha Madara resolutely walked into the teleportation gate. Uchiha Sasuke had just recently awakened, but that wasn't important.
What was important was that he, Uchiha Madara, could now fight against powerhouses from other worlds.
Uchiha Madara's entire body erupted with a brilliant blue chakra.
Strongly intervening in the battlefield, Uchiha Madara entered the clash between Zeref and Aizen Sōsuke.
With Uchiha Madara's intervention, the energy that had been in a standoff suddenly exploded, unleashing a violent roar of explosions.
However, the explosive energy quickly dissipated again.
The energies released by the three, clashing with each other, formed a three-way standoff.
