Chapter 765: You've Found Your Path to Death!
Chapter 765: You've Found Your Path to Death!
"Captain Suibee, so this is your Bankai, huh? I have to say, this doesn't seem like your style at all.
Such a massive cannonball, I'd think it's more of Captain Rangu's style. Your true Bankai shouldn't be so... tiny... cough, I mean, it should be like your Shikai."
As Yecheng finished off Tosen Jo and returned to the main battlefield, the first thing that caught his eye was Captain Suibee, locked in a fierce battle with Barragan, the former King of Hueco Mundo and Espada No.2.
Barragan, unlike other Arrancars, held no admiration for Sosuke Aizen; instead, he loathed and despised him.
Before Aizen's arrival in the Human World, Barragan was the undisputed ruler of Hueco Mundo. But with Aizen's appearance, everything changed.
His once loyal subordinates now fawned over Aizen, and Barragan, once the king, found himself demoted, not even worthy of being second-in-command.
However, despite his arrogant and boastful personality, Barragan's abilities and strength were undeniably formidable.
His Resurreccion, "Skeleton Emperor," granted him the power to decay all things, living or non-living. Any object his body touched would rapidly decay into dust.
In the cultivation world, such an ability would be considered a supreme law, capable of withering all.
When Yecheng arrived at the scene, Captain Suibee was already in a dire struggle. To prevent the decay from spreading, she had even severed her left arm, which had been touched by Barragan earlier.
To confront this formidable opponent, Captain Suibee unleashed her rarely used Bankai, "Hornet's Thunder Whip."
But even the whip, resembling a missile, was completely decayed by Barragan's power before it could make contact with his body.
"Instead of making fun of me, why not think of a way to deal with this guy? His ability is quite troublesome."
Perhaps due to the capture of the Masked Army earlier, Taishoden had not come to assist Captain Suibee, leaving her to struggle from the start.
Seeing Yecheng come to her aid first, Captain Suibee felt grateful, but every time this guy opened his mouth, he infuriated her.
"You call yourself tiny and cute? My figure is the perfect proportion, you know!"
Captain Rangu, with her cow-like physique, was just excessive fat that hindered her Shunpo speed during battles!
"Another Shinigami brat? It doesn't matter how many Shinigami come; before my unparalleled power, they are all insignificant.
My ability represents the essence of Hueco Mundo. Wherever I walk, the surroundings turn into a wasteland, and my breath alone can age all existence.
I am the embodiment of death and the true master of Hueco Mundo."
Barragan, seeing Yecheng appear beside Captain Suibee, was unconcerned about facing two opponents and instead exuded supreme confidence.
In his eyes, his ability was invincible, and the number of Shinigami made no difference to him.
"So, the desolate state of Hueco Mundo is because of you?
But none of this matters. What's important is that you claim to be the master of Hueco Mundo, but isn't Captain Aizen the current king?"
"Yecheng's words directly shattered the defenses of the once arrogant Barragan.
Barragan lived thousands of years ago, during a time when the Hollows were so powerful that they even defeated the first Gotei 13 and invaded the Soul King Palace.
A mere upstart like Zangetsu Sosuke was nothing compared to Barragan's reign over Hueco Mundo.
'I am the true ruler of Hueco Mundo. Zangetsu Sosuke is but a wet-behind-the-ears brat.'
'That despicable Shinigami, who stole my power with the Collapse Sphere, and those deceitful ones who borrowed our strength... If...'
'I knew you harbored resentment towards me, but I never imagined that in your eyes, I, Zangetsu Sosuke, would appear so pathetic, Number Two.'
Barragan had been venting his anger, expressing his dissatisfaction, but the voice that suddenly came from behind him made his body shudder, and his indignant tirade abruptly halted.
Barragan was indeed resentful towards Zangetsu, but he usually only dared to complain when Zangetsu was not around, fearing his formidable power.
However, Barragan never expected that this time, his complaints would be heard by the very person he was complaining about.
Why had Zangetsu already come so close, yet Barragan hadn't sensed his spiritual pressure at all? Looking at Zangetsu, who was smiling at him from behind, Barragan knew that any further explanation would be futile.
So, he decided to go all out and firmly gripped the double-bladed axe in his hands, swinging it down towards Zangetsu in front of him! After all, he had long despised Zangetsu, and by defeating him here, Barragan could reclaim what was originally his, including the Collapse Sphere in Zangetsu's possession! If Zangetsu could use the Collapse Sphere to become stronger and create Arrancars, why couldn't Barragan do the same?
'Kacha—!'
However, Barragan, who had staked everything, was soon left dumbfounded by what he saw.
The double-bladed axe, which he had swung with all his might, was now effortlessly held by Zangetsu, who pinched the axe blade between two fingers, appearing as casual as if he had done nothing significant.
As for Barragan, he was initially shocked and incredulous, but soon, he entered a state of euphoria.
At first, he feared that Zangetsu would use the power of 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' to hypnotize him, but now, seeing Zangetsu so audaciously not using his Zanpakuto's abilities and instead blocking Barragan's attack head-on, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Barragan's power could cause decay, and in his eyes, Zangetsu touching his weapon with bare hands was akin to seeking death.
Without a moment's hesitation, Barragan activated his 'Death Sigh' ability.
However, soon after, as the decayed aura enveloped Zangetsu, the confidence on Barragan's skull face began to gradually fade.
Under Barragan's 'Skull Emperor' ability, Zangetsu showed no signs of decay, as if nothing had happened at all.
'With your laughable intelligence, you dare to proclaim yourself as the ruler of Hueco Mundo, above even me, Zangetsu Sosuke?
Don't forget that your ability to become an Arrancar and gain your current power is all thanks to the Collapse Sphere.
But now, you use that power against me, who has already merged with the Collapse Sphere. Do you really think it will work on me?'"
