Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 220 One whale fall brings forth all things
Every ability has its limits, including Barragan's supposedly invincible power of decay.

Previously, he was able to easily withstand more than 600 Cero attacks from Pikachu and his group because only Cero attacks were attacking him. But now, his power still needs to contend with Guan Yi's 96th, 97th, and 98th Binding Spells!
These three Limit Binding Paths, like a leech, frantically drained his spiritual pressure, released purifying lightning, and relentlessly suppressed his movements, resisting and neutralizing his decaying power.

As one side gains and the other loses, the balance is gradually broken, rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The sound of a Cero exploding rang out.

The sand dunes were evaporating, illuminating the dim sky of Hueco Mundo as if it were daytime. From the epicenter of the continuous explosions came the creaking of Barragan's skeletal body, strained under the weight, and his furious roar. The dark gray, decaying spiritual pressure surged wildly from the explosion's center like a storm, attempting to erode everything, but ultimately retreated under the combined pressure and saturation bombardment!

The bombing lasted for a full half minute.

When the last flash of light faded away, all that remained where Barragan stood was a bottomless, enormous lava pit, the sand and gravel at the edges of which had been burned into a crystalline, glassy state by the intense heat.

In the center of the crater, Barragan lay in a wretched state. His bones were covered in charred cracks, especially his front, which showed signs of breakage and melting in many places. Even the crown on his head was askew, a far cry from the imposing presence of a former king!

"Ho...ho..."

Barragan was breathing heavily, and the ghostly flames in his skull eye sockets flickered violently, revealing the disorder of his spiritual pressure and the raging anger within him.

What kind of bizarre ability is this?!
Before he personally took action, he never imagined that he would be forced into such a state by a mere human brat.

"His Majesty!!"

In the distance, Negro, one of Barragan's subordinates, let out a roar of resentment and terror. His figure was completely engulfed by Picalo's Cero, making him the first of Barragan's three subordinates to die. The pressure on the other two instantly doubled, and they were not far from defeat.

The situation is extremely unfavorable.

If this attack could really be repeated indefinitely, just as this little devil of death said… The King of Hueco Mundo suddenly had a thought of retreating, but it was quickly filled with humiliation and anger!
"You brat!" He suddenly raised his head, and his decaying spiritual pressure surged again like a final burst of energy, forcefully shattering all the remaining life threads on his body!
"There is no insurmountable ability. As long as I can corrupt all your tricks along with you in one fell swoop, you will be helpless!"

He seemed to have forgotten his confidence in his own decaying power and gave it his all.

He gripped the massive skull battle axe with both hands, frantically pouring his surging, decaying spiritual pressure into it. The grotesque skull decorations on the axe seemed to come alive, their empty eye sockets and mouths radiating a suffocating aura of death.

"The Lord of Death!"

It was no longer a spreading mist, nor a sharp point at his fingertips. Barragan highly concentrated his aging power of rules, completely wrapping it around the giant axe. The next moment, he swung the battle axe.

A highly refined, almost tangible, gray-black crescent-shaped slash silently tore through space and hurtled towards Guan Yi.

Wherever it passed, space itself seemed to decay and lose its vitality, showing signs of dimness and brittleness. Even more powerful than the expanding force of decay, this was Barragan's technique, pushing his power of decay to its absolute limit!

Faced with this move, Guan Yi simply flipped his wrists and gently collided the hilts of his two swords together.

"Dual Realm Reincarnation".

This cycle of reincarnation, that cycle of reincarnation.

Simultaneous activation!

The forces of time begin to intertwine.

The gray-black crescent-shaped slash obliterated Guan Yi's figure, but in the next instant, he seemed to transcend cause and effect, appearing behind Barragan.

Its movements and postures were exactly the same as when Guan Yi had previously slashed Barragan's wrist, creating the necessary conditions to initiate his cycle of reincarnation.

But Barragán's strength and reaction speed are far inferior to what they used to be!
creak-

With a piercing scraping sound, Barragan screamed as his skeletal hand snapped off and flew away, while the giant axe in his hand, the Skeleton Emperor, also slipped from his grasp and spun away.

"hateful!"

The power of decay spread wildly, frantically devouring Guan Yi, but Guan Yi, who had turned to ashes, always managed to reappear from another direction in Barragán!
One cut! Two cuts! Three cuts!

"His Majesty!"

"Run!!"

The remaining two subordinates cried out in despair and even despair before they died, but at this moment, how could Barragan have any chance to escape?
With Guan Yi's repeated strikes, neither Xiang Zhuan nor anything else could help Bailergang create distance between himself and Guan Yi. The shadow that transcended time and causality clung to him like a malignant tumor, constantly causing damage and leading to the fundamental collapse of his body.

Cracks appeared not only on his body but also deep within Barragan's soul. This self-proclaimed king who wielded the power of aging and death was gradually approaching his own end.

Am I... going to die here?

How could I, the King, die?!
How could I, the King, lose to a mere brat?!

I haven't even killed that bastard Aizen yet, I haven't even reclaimed my throne, so why is it... in this place... so absurdly and easily... coming to an end?!

click-

As Barragan's skull shattered and his consciousness became clouded, Guan Yi stopped attacking, raised his two swords in his right hand, and with his left hand, his five fingers formed a claw, aimed at Barragan, and unleashed: "Six Treasures Immortal Thief!"

An invisible and intangible force, yet more profound than the power of decay, emanated from Guan Yi's palm and precisely enveloped Barragan.

In a daze, Barragan was horrified to discover that his already waning spiritual pressure was now melting and disintegrating uncontrollably, as if encountering a natural enemy, ice and snow, turning into the purest and most primordial spiritual energy flow, which was greedily absorbed and devoured by that power!
"No! What is this?!"

Barragan's last will roared, his skeletal body struggling violently, but he could not stop the spiritual pressure from pouring out like a flood, surging towards Guan Yi.

An invisible vortex gradually formed on Guan Yi's left palm. The immense Vastod-level spiritual pressure, carrying the aura of death and decay, was transformed by the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, having all harmful attributes and violent will removed, and refined into a crystallized spiritual particle that was crystallized and emitted a gentle and pure luster.

The crystals rapidly condensed and multiplied above his palm, eventually transforming into hundreds of thumb-sized, jewel-like candies, shimmering with iridescent light and containing a breathtakingly pure energy.

In the distance, the more than six hundred Pikachu who had completed the 'blocking game' had already stopped their phantom flashes, and they stared wide-eyed at the spirit candy in Guan Yi's hand with curiosity and longing.

It's a reward from the game!
Guan Yi flicked her wrist slightly.

Whoosh—! Hundreds of spirit candies, as if they possessed life, streaked across the sky with dazzling light, flying precisely towards each Pikachu. The little guys immediately cheered and jumped up, eagerly opening their mouths to catch them and swallowing them whole.

"Wow! It's so sweet!"

"So warm!"

"Power... is surging up!"

Pure and immense energy spread within the bodies of the Picards, their spiritual pressure increased and solidified at a visible rate, their size seemed to have increased slightly, the red light in their eyes became stronger, and their spirits were more vibrant than ever before.

Barragan's spiritual pressure, accumulated through countless years of arduous training, has now become the perfect tonic for these innocent yet dangerous little monsters!
The power of summoning spirits and commanding generals was also injected into all of Pikachu's bodies through these candies!

"Your turn, Grimmjow."

Guan Yi still had a candy in his hand, and this one was larger than all the other candies combined, with a deeper color and energy fluctuations that seemed almost tangible. It contained the most core and essential part of Barragan's spiritual pressure!
As the battle between Guan Yi and Barragan continued, Grimmjow had long since fallen into a deep silence. He felt as if he had become a joke, whether it was his earlier secret vow to fight Guan Yi or his declaration to join forces with Guan Yi when facing Barragan!

They didn't need to use themselves at all.

This guy defeated Barragan fair and square with his own strength alone!

"No, I didn't..."

His awkward personality surfaced, but before he could refuse, Guan Yi pressed the biggest candy into his chest, and the surging energy silenced Grimmjow's mouth!
"Shut up and eat. Show me the process of evolution properly, and that will be a sufficient reward."

"You bastard..."

The ghostly flames in Barragan's eye sockets dissipated, and this virtual king who had lived for countless years came to his end.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

The spiritual pressure of the Pikachus was rapidly increasing, and Grimmjow even broke through an invisible boundary the moment that pure energy entered his body!
