Ordinary Group Owner: "To be honest, with the Holy Lord's combination of the Horse Talisman and Dog Talisman, setting aside sealing methods, no one in the chat group should be able to defeat him, right?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Even Yan probably can't do it."
The Horse Talisman possessed powerful healing abilities, capable of eliminating abnormal influences caused by external forces within the body. Bodily injuries were trivial. The Dog Talisman granted direct immunity to death—any lethal ability was useless against it.
Apart from sealing, it was nearly impossible to think of any method that could kill the Holy Lord.
No wonder Uchiha Madara and Marquis Voban couldn't defeat him. The gap in their actual strength wasn't that large to begin with. At the very least, they could still inflict some damage on each other—and the Holy Lord was no exception.
The Holy Lord could inflict damage on Uchiha Madara and Marquis Voban, and they could do the same to him.
But clearly, their recovery abilities were far inferior to the Holy Lord's.
The Holy Lord could disregard injuries, disregard consumption, and tank their attacks head-on while dealing damage to them. But they couldn't.

You've already set aside sealing methods, so what's there to discuss?
But many times, certain methods were more painful than death itself.
Ordinary Group Owner: "Once someone with root-level abilities joins in the future, it should be possible."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, or a powerhouse who has mastered the laws."
Golden Flash: "Um, everyone—"
Minato wanted to interrupt their conversation to bring up the mission template, but before he could finish, the Group Owner's message pushed his aside.
Ordinary Group Owner: "Wait, if Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu can affect the Holy Lord and make him strip himself of the talismans' powers, or make him admit defeat on his own, that might work too."
Holy Lord: "???"
Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu...
The Holy Lord's eyes narrowed slightly. He was quite confident in his soul—in fact, compared to his physical body, his soul was even stronger.
But Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu... since he'd never tested it, he couldn't know whether it would work on him.
Fifth Division Captain: "The Group Owner overestimates me."
Fifth Division Captain: "Kyoka Suigetsu's ability isn't as powerful as everyone imagines."
Fifth Division Captain: "Without sufficient information, it's impossible to create an illusion that someone would genuinely believe in their heart."
Kyoka Suigetsu possessed the ability of complete hypnosis, capable of controlling an opponent's five senses and making them completely believe that a specific target's appearance, form, mass, texture, and even smell were whatever its master desired.
But the prerequisite was that the zanpakuto's master possessed the wisdom to make those trapped in the illusion believe it was real.
Richest Man: "Oh~~~"
Richest Man: "Though I personally feel what you're saying is true, the fact that it's coming from you makes it rather hard to believe."
Richest Man: "And if this is true, doesn't that make you even more terrifying?"
Richest Man: "Being able to perfectly adjust parameters based on whoever you encounter, making those hypnotized by Kyoka Suigetsu believe what they see is real—doesn't that make you even more terrifying?"
Richest Man: "Someone as terrifying as you is even more concerning."
Richest Man: "I strongly suspect that if we weren't separated by different worlds, you'd have long since gathered all our information."
Fifth Division Captain: "..."
Well. He'd brought this upon himself.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Exactly. The more I watch Bleach now, the more I feel Aizen's terror."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I saw a fan theory before speculating that the 'Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu' that appears throughout the series isn't the release command at all—it's actually the deactivation command. Though I don't think it's very likely, if it's Aizen, it's not impossible."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Who knows whether anything he reveals is true or false."
Child of Nature: "So why don't you use the chat group's shop to look up Kyoka Suigetsu's specific information?"
Child of Nature: "Aizen might deceive you, but the chat group won't."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Shocked.jpg"
Ordinary Group Owner: "There's actually such an operation!"
Child of Nature: "You're so wary of Aizen's ability. Haven't you thought about buying a Kyoka Suigetsu yourself?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "How do you know I don't want one? But I'd have to be able to afford it."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Depressed.jpg"
Ordinary Group Owner: "But looking at Aizen now—it requires parameters? It can't intelligently recognize targets and complete itself with just a command?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Forget it, forget it. This isn't something my brain can handle."
Ordinary Group Owner: "I don't want it anymore."
Boil Dagu Into Soup: "Kyoka Suigetsu is like Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit—it's just an auxiliary tool."
Boil Dagu Into Soup: "The reason they seem so powerful is because their users are Whitebeard and Aizen."
Boil Dagu Into Soup: "Like adding wings to a tiger."
Dagu spoke with deep feeling.
One's own strength is what truly matters... During the last mission, if not for the Holy Lord, his transformation device would have been stolen.
Though he could buy another Spark Lens since his ability to transform into Tiga fundamentally came from the genes and light within his body—the Spark Lens was merely a tool to convert himself into light—a Spark Lens wasn't cheap.
A hundred thousand points. A Logia-type Devil Fruit cost about the same.
Golden Flash: "Um, everyone, please listen to me."
Ordinary Group Owner: "What is it? The Naruto situation?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "No need to feel guilty. It's fine."
Ordinary Group Owner: "There will be more missions in the future. It wouldn't be good if this affected your inner state."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Though there's no such setting in the anime, the 'Dao Heart' should still exist. If your thoughts aren't clear, it's hard to walk the great path."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "'Dao Heart'? A concept from Chinese fantasy novels?"
Himouto Umaru: "Have you read them, Utaha?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I looked into them a bit before. Because of translation issues, some parts were off, and it always felt somewhat awkward."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Now, thanks to the language mastery ability I got from the lottery before, all the world's languages feel like my native tongue. So it feels much better than before."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "The protagonists in Chinese novels tend to be more decisive than ours."
The novel protagonists in their country cared greatly about others' opinions and were friendly even to strangers. Protagonists in Chinese novels didn't care about such things—some even had the mindset of going against the world for a single person.
Though both types existed in both countries. It mainly came down to how the plot was handled.
At the end of the day, as long as it was exciting, that was enough.
