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

A miracle!

This was Gerard’s ability—The Miracle!

The power to reverse any negative event that befalls him, transforming it into a positive one.

"That thing is really tough," Masatsuki Aozaki remarked.

Just moments ago, when Gerard’s body had been split apart, a Quincy Cross had emerged at the center of the rupture.

That was Gerard’s core.

Destroying the Quincy Cross would be the key to killing him.

Masatsuki hadn’t held back—he had even secretly released his Zanpakutō, channeling the power of the Bōkunchō to amplify his slash.

The entire Ice Palace had been cleaved in two, yet the Quincy Cross remained completely unscathed.

"No matter how powerful your attack is, it’s useless! Pain only makes me stronger—makes me even bigger!" Gerard roared, reaching out toward Masatsuki with his massive hand.

"O insignificant Shinigami, bow before the scales of my god!"
