Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 764: Ulquiorra, Pure Power

"Are you asking if the King is ready?"

Bylergan's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a hint of sarcasm and disdain.

His eyes were like knives, piercing straight at Ulquiorra opposite him.

"I should be the one asking you this question. Are you ready, Ulquiorra?"

Bylergan asked back.

Ulquiorra, a warrior known for his silence and calmness, showed no reaction at this moment.

There was no expression on his face, and he was unconcerned about Bylergan's provocation and confidence.

"Well, don't blink, because the battle will be over in a moment."

Ulquiorra spoke up.

At this moment, the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

Everyone held their breath, as if even their heartbeats had stopped.

Ulquiorra's figure flashed before everyone's eyes, like a black lightning streaking through the night sky. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to see his movements clearly.

But in this brief moment, Bylergan's corrupt power seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, creating a shocking hole.

That was the mark left by Ulquiorra, a perfect display of his speed and strength.

Then, a loud noise shook the entire space.

The sound was like thunder, making people's ears tremble.

Bylergan's huge body was hit by a huge force and was blown away like a kite with a broken string.

His body drew a long arc in the air, accompanied by broken walls and flying dust, which looked extremely tragic.

The scene was like the arrival of a disaster, which made people marvel.

Bylergan's body passed through several walls in succession and finally stopped in a corner.

He lay in the ruins, unable to get up for a while.

The crown on his skull had been broken, and his skull was also cracked with shocking cracks.

His heart was filled with disbelief and despair.

His originally confident power of corruption seemed to have lost its effectiveness at this moment.

He couldn't believe that his power could be easily defeated by Ulquiorra at this moment.

Deep down in his heart, he was filled with doubts and confusion, not understanding why such a result had occurred.

At this moment, the voice of Aizen Sosuke sounded at the right time.

He supported his cheek with one hand, looked at Bylergan with a smile, and began to explain to him: "The power of decay is indeed very strong, Bylergan. However, any power has its limitations. Although your power of decay is strong, it takes a certain amount of time to work. Even a femtosecond is enough for Ulquiorra now."

Aizen Sosuke's words were full of confidence and calmness.

He continued, "Faced with a speed so fast that time almost stopped, Ulquiorra broke through your defense before your proud power of decay had a chance to take effect. This is the perfect combination of speed and strength, and it is also the key to Ulquiorra's victory over you."

After hearing this, Bylergan finally understood the reason for his failure.

His original confidence vanished at this moment. He couldn't accept that he would be defeated by Ulquiorra, and he couldn't accept that his power of corruption would become ineffective.

It's fine that he lost to Black Hollow's Devouring Power, but now even Ulquiorra's Speed ​​Power surpasses his Corruption Power? "Your power is indeed very strong, Bylergan."

Ulquiorra's voice was calm and indifferent.

There was no trace of sympathy or compassion in his words, for he was merely stating a fact.

"But, in this world, nothing is absolutely invincible."

Ulquiorra continued.

"Except, Master Aizen."

His words were full of respect and faith for Aizen Sosuke.

He knew that only Aizen Sosuke was truly invincible. Although his speed and strength were great, they seemed insignificant in front of Aizen Sosuke.

Aizen Sosuke smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Ulquiorra's admiration.

He continued, "It's so fast that time almost stops. In a sense, this is absolute power. Anyone will inevitably be as if standing still in front of Ulquiorra. This is pure strength."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

They didn't expect Ulquiorra to be able to obtain such powerful strength, and they didn't expect Aizen Sosuke to be able to control such power so easily.

What on earth had he done to allow Ulquiorra to gain such power?
What is that posture that transcends returning to the blade?
Has Ulquiorra surpassed the Arrancar and the Hollows?
Ulquiorra, who fused with the Soul King fragment, gained this absolute power of speed.

Furthermore, Ulquiorra's current super-speed regeneration is even stronger than during his Second Stage of Rebirth.

Even a damaged brain and heart can be regenerated instantly.

There are no weaknesses or vital points in the literal sense.

"Absolute speed?"

Esdeath understood. No wonder even she couldn't see Ulquiorra's speed clearly.

It turns out that this is the speed that seems to be a rule.

If it was a speed defined by physics, so fast that time almost stopped, then the impact brought by Ulquiorra was enough to kill them.

Because even faster than light speed cannot almost stop time.

First of all, we need to understand the relativity and theoretical limits of the concept of "time stopping".

In physics, time stopping is purely hypothetical, as according to our current understanding of the universe, there is no object or force that can actually stop time.

However, in literature and animation, the concept is used to describe an extreme state of speed that causes an object or creature to appear almost stationary relative to the observer.

Understand the impact of speed on the perception of time.

According to special relativity, when an object moves at speeds close to the speed of light, the passage of time inside it slows down relative to a stationary observer.

This is called the time dilation effect.

However, even if an object moves at the speed of light, time does not stop completely, it just passes more slowly relative to a stationary observer.

To be fast enough to almost stop time, theoretically, a speed infinitely close to the speed of light is required. However, according to existing physics theories, any object with mass cannot reach the speed of light, but can only get infinitely close.

This is because energy is required to accelerate an object, and as the speed approaches the speed of light, the energy required tends to infinity, which is impossible to achieve in reality.

From a physics perspective, there is no speed "fast enough for time to stop" because that would require reaching or exceeding the speed of light, which is impossible.
