Chapter 769: The Hair Gel Master, Unable to Escape the Backstab
Chapter 769: The Hair Gel Master, Unable to Escape the Backstab
The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Barragan felt a sense of relief.
To be honest, since his confrontation with Yecheng, Barragan had always maintained an air of superiority.
But in reality, only he knew that every time he directly or indirectly clashed with Yecheng, he seemed to be the one at a disadvantage.
Yecheng might not always win, but at least he never came out on the losing end.
His plans and calculations were repeatedly exposed by Yecheng first, and even the Collapse Sphere, which he had set his sights on first, was now under Yecheng's control. This was a blow to Barragan's pride, and he couldn't accept it.
So, when Barragan effortlessly dominated Yecheng with his strength, he felt not only joy at his own power but also a sense of revenge and satisfaction.
"Instant Blast!"
Seeing Yecheng being slashed by Barragan and sent flying over ten kilometers away, with his life hanging in the balance, Suibee, who had been fighting nearby, instantly became enraged and charged towards Barragan using Instant Blast.
"Kill him, Divine Gun!"
However, before Barragan could make a move, a cold glint flashed in the distance. A short dagger lengthened at an astonishing speed, breaking through the sound barrier.
Before Suibee could even get close to Barragan, Shunsui's Divine Gun had already pierced her shoulder and knocked her into the nearby ruins.
"You fool, do you really think you're worthy of facing Captain Barragan just because of your meager abilities?"
Shunsui's fawning words infuriated the Shinigami of the Gotei 13, especially Rangu and the Vice-Captain of the 3rd Division, Kira. When they saw Shunsui, their expressions became complicated.
"Shunsui, I didn't expect you to still be alive after facing Captain Yecheng. That's quite unexpected."
Barragan was also surprised to see Shunsui, as he had thought that both Shunsui and Tosen Jo had died at Yecheng's hands.
"Captain Yecheng is too strong. I almost died earlier. If it weren't for my luck, I probably wouldn't be here to see you, Captain Barragan.
But Captain Tosen is truly dead. His soul was completely vaporized, leaving no remains. It's a tragic end."
Barragan was well aware of Tosen's death, so he showed no emotion.
To be honest, for Barragan, who had already achieved his goal, Shunsui and Tosen were also dispensable tools.
In the future, with his high status, he wouldn't stoop to doing everything himself, just like he had just gotten rid of the annoying flies around him.
Even if Shunsui hadn't intervened, Barragan could have easily defeated Suibee, as effortlessly as brushing off dust from his clothes.
But the question was, what kind of person was Shunsui, and what kind of person was Barragan? If he had to personally deal with every minor issue, what kind of status would he have?
In summary, Barragan didn't care about the deaths of Shunsui and Tosen, but he didn't mind having two sycophants by his side.
"Shunsui, there's no need to belittle yourself. You're much stronger than Tosen.
As for Tosen's death, it only proves that he wasn't worthy of joining us on our final path."
Barragan showed no reaction to Tosen's death, and Shunsui had already anticipated this.
At this moment, Shunsui stood behind Barragan, his eyes fixed on the location of the Collapse Sphere within Barragan's body.
Although Shunsui hadn't shown himself earlier, he had been secretly observing everything.
To be honest, when he witnessed Night City suppressing Captain Lan Ran with astonishing strength, his heart was thrilled. After all, if Night City could defeat Captain Lan Ran, then everything would finally come to an end.
Although Shimagami Gin had committed grave sins, with Night City as a witness, there was still a chance for a reduced sentence, and this outcome was far better than what he had initially expected.
But just when the situation seemed to be going well, Shimagami Gin never anticipated that under Night City's pressure, Captain Lan Ran would evolve again and quickly regain the upper hand.
It was at this moment that Shimagami Gin finally realized his previous thoughts had been too simplistic.
To thoroughly defeat Captain Lan Ran, the primary issue remained the "Collapse Sphere" in his chest.
If the Collapse Sphere wasn't dealt with, no matter how many times Captain Lan Ran was defeated, he would rise again, and the pressure from Night City would only make him stronger!
When Shimagami Gin attacked Suibee, it wasn't just to gain Captain Lan Ran's trust but also to save her.
The current Captain Lan Ran had already surpassed everyone's expectations, even a captain-level like Suibee would likely face certain death if she approached him recklessly.
Suibee had a good relationship with Night City, and considering Shimagami Gin had saved her, if he were to meet an unfortunate end, he believed Suibee would take care of Rangu.
With his determination, Shimagami Gin didn't hesitate. When Captain Lan Ran turned his back on him and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, Shimagami Gin tightened his grip on his Zanpakutou, which resembled a rib blade.
"Bankai - Divine Slayer!"
As Shimagami Gin drew his Zanpakutou and unleashed its Bankai, even Captain Lan Ran, who was standing in front of him, was caught off guard, and his body was instantly pierced by the Divine Slayer.
The moment the Divine Slayer was released, everything around it was instantly sliced, and its extension and retraction speed exceeded five hundred times the speed of sound!
At this moment, Shimagami Gin was like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time, revealing its fangs for the first time.
Facing Shimagami Gin's sudden attack, not only was Captain Lan Ran caught off guard, but even the Gotei 13 and Pururi Kiyotsugu in Gensei were stunned.
"Gin, you..."
The wound on Captain Lan Ran's chest was insignificant compared to his current strength.
However, the crucial point was that from the beginning, Shimagami Gin's target wasn't to kill Captain Lan Ran but the Collapse Sphere in his chest.
"Kill him, Divine Slayer!"
The true power of Shimagami Gin's Bankai wasn't its 500 times extension and retraction speed but the ability to turn into "ash" during the extension and retraction of the blade.
When the blade extended and retracted, a potent poison capable of dissolving cells would appear inside, and when the blade was thrust and then retracted, it could turn a portion of the enemy's body into ash and leave it behind.
When Shimagami Gin shouted the release command "Kill him, Divine Slayer" again, the poison remaining in the enemy's body would instantly take effect, dissolving their body.
Even a Hollow with hyper-regeneration couldn't recover from such a potent poison in a short time.
Shimagami Gin seized the moment when Captain Lan Ran's body was dissolving, immediately leaping forward and snatching the Collapse Sphere from his body.
Almost simultaneously, Night City's figure appeared beside Shimagami Gin, extending a hand to place it on his shoulder, and using the Bone King World Magic's 'Advanced Teleportation.'
