Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Aftermath of the Battle – Repercussions Across the Multiverse

The echo of the colossal clash between Sōsuke Aizen and Light Yagami still reverberated through the multiverse. As the dust settled and the lights of the arena dimmed, a haunting silence swept across the grand coliseum. Everyone — from the highest celestial realms to the darkest underworlds — was left stunned. Aizen had outmaneuvered Light in the ultimate battle of intellect, illusion, and power.

The Announcer's voice broke the silence:

"What a clash we have just witnessed! The mastermind of Hueco Mundo versus the god of the new world! Victory and defeat have never carried such weight. Let us now see the ripples this duel has caused across the multiverse."

Arena Reactions

Spectators were still digesting what had transpired. Some were left speechless; others erupted into debate.

"Aizen's illusions were beyond anything Light could prepare for! He didn't stand a chance once the Kyōka Suigetsu took effect!" shouted a Shinigami in the front row.

"Light still came close. If that pen hadn't been disrupted—if he'd just written the full name…" muttered a Death Note enthusiast.

Universes buzzed with discussion.

Reactions from Aizen's Universe

Ichigo Kurosaki clenched his fists. "Another one of us chosen… first it was me, and now Aizen. This multiverse challenge isn't done with us yet."

Urahara Kisuke adjusted his hat. "He may have won this round, but Aizen's ambitions are always layered. Let's hope victory hasn't made him more dangerous."

Yoruichi frowned. "If he wins too many of these, no one will be able to stop him."

Reactions from Light's Universe

Near sat quietly in the shadows of a glowing monitor, expression unreadable. "So it ends here... Light Yagami, the man who tried to become God, undone by illusion."

Matsuda was in disbelief. "No way… Light lost? Again?!"

Ryuk chuckled, tossing an apple. "He was fun to watch. Guess the multiverse wanted a different ending this time."

Universal Chat Room

Chaos reigned in the global multiversal chatroom.

GadgetVerseUser99: "Aizen is broken! Hax-level illusion powers, ridiculous spiritual pressure, AND strategy?!"

LogicVerseScholar: "But Light almost won! The Death Note is still one of the most dangerous weapons in existence."

SorcererOfZero: "We need a Kyōka Suigetsu vs Geass battle next!"

DarkRealmOracle: "I'm still waiting for Johan Liebert to get chosen."

The Betting Results

The arena screens burst to life again. "Now, let's review the wagers! Some of you doubled your futures — others have lost more than you can imagine."

Aizen's Supporters:

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez: Bet 100,000 Reishi Orbs. Total Winnings: 200,000. "Knew he'd win. Bastard doesn't lose unless he wants to."

Lelouch Lamperouge (from another timeline): Bet one future chess match with a godlike AI. Won. "Fitting result. One king defeats another."

Light's Supporters:

Mikami Teru: Bet his remaining lifespan. LOST. Instantly aged and vanished into dust.

Yagami Soichiro (from an alternate world where he lived): Bet his career and badge. LOST. The nameplate dissolved in his hands.

Consequences and Rewards

Aizen stepped forward, his hands behind his back as the announcer addressed the multiverse:

"Sōsuke Aizen, victorious. As per your chosen prize:"

Aizen's Prize:

The Eternal Horizon Mirror — a relic that amplifies Kyōka Suigetsu's illusion not only visually, but across dimensions. It can now affect time perception.

Aizen smirked. "I will remake this multiverse in my image."

And then came the punishment.

Light Yagami's Punishment:

The memory of his victories, brilliance, and glory — wiped across every universe. No one in any timeline would ever remember him as the God of the New World. In every possible future, he'd be just another forgotten student.

Light fell to his knees. "No… I built a new world. I was… I was…"

Ryuk watched. "Guess you're not worth writing about anymore."

Reflection from the Fighters

Back in Hueco Mundo, Aizen stood alone beneath the towering palace.

"Even gods fall. And I… am already beyond that."

In the void of erased potential, Light sat alone. A faint whisper from a universe where his name was once known… but even that faded.
