Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 218 The Ultimate Binding Technique
Cero is a Hollow's ultimate ability. When a Hollow of Adjuchas rank unleashes a Cero, its destructive power surpasses that of most missiles.

More than six hundred Cero attacks of this magnitude resounded simultaneously, their power enough to wipe out a city in an instant! Such a terrifying and dense attack could not be ignored even by Barragan.

His pupils reflected rage, the throne trembled violently in the storm, and the three subordinates did not hesitate to return their weapons to their sockets.

As subordinates of Barragan, each of them possesses strength approaching that of a Tenth Espada!
Even so, it was still too difficult for the subordinate officers to completely defend against such an attack. They were like small boats tossed about in a storm, constantly being damaged. But in order to be loyal to their duties, they could only stand in a circular formation around Barragan and endure the attack.

"Hmph...useless trash, get out of the way."

"Rot away, Skeleton Emperor."

A low sigh emanated from the center of the light stream, and the three subordinate officers secretly breathed a sigh of relief and obeyed the order to evacuate.

Immediately, the stench of decay spread!

When the crimson torrent of illusory light touched a certain area around Barragan, it silently crumbled and dissipated, like a sandcastle eroded by time, revealing the seated figure within.

His throne had slight scorch marks on its edge, and the entire void had taken on a new form. He wore a multi-layered crown, his face and body had become skeletal, he wore upturned boots, and his entire body was covered in gray-black flames. A long silver chain ran from one corner of the crown, like the death chains of the Grim Reaper.

A gray-black mist, carrying a chilling law of ending and decay, spread from his fingertips. At first, it was slow, but then it became like a living tide, gradually engulfing and covering the shimmering energy!

The three subordinates stepped back, gazing at Barragán with awe. Upon seeing the grayish-black mist, the Picards instinctively showed a hint of apprehension.

Faced with Pikachu's attack after his Resurrección, Barragan had no choice but to take it seriously and immediately completed his own Resurrección. This power was the ability Barragan gained after becoming an Arrancar: Decay!

Anything that comes into contact with the gray-black mist he releases, whether it is a person or an object, will meet its end in decay and death!

"Looks like you naughty kids really want to die. This boring game is over."

Just as Barragan let out a death sigh and prepared to deal with Pikachu and the others first, a soaring spiritual pressure suddenly came from the distant sand dunes!
"Um?!"

Barragan's gaze shifted, and he saw Guan Yi raise his right hand, hold up his palm to him, and then forcefully swing it down. A considerable sense of pressure made Barragan feel a chill in his heart!
What's going on? This feeling is...

"Binding Spell Number Ninety-Six: Sky Rock Collapse!"

Guan Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to resonate throughout the Hueco Mundo sky.

The night sky above Barragan's head suddenly twisted and tore apart. A colossal rock pillar of unimaginable size, wrapped in golden, high-strength binding spells, seemed to materialize from an ancient legend. With immense force, it broke through the spatial barrier and crashed down!
Barragan abruptly raised his head, his eyes blazing with ghostly fire in the wind pressure, "That damn brat..."

He can actually unleash this level of demonic power without chanting? I underestimated him!

Even before the rock pillars arrived, the terrifying wind pressure had already descended, causing large areas of sand below Barragán to collapse.

Barragán groaned, and the gray-black sigh of death no longer rushed towards Picaros, but instantly surged back, rising upwards as if alive, attempting to erode the fallen boulder, hissing—

The moment the gray mist touched the base of the rock pillar, the rock surface began to weather and peel away at a visible speed. However, the pillar was too massive, and its kinetic energy was too terrifying. The rate at which the surface was eroded was far slower than the rate at which it was pressed down. Moreover, the golden runes wrapped around the pillar shone brightly, stubbornly resisting the spread of the decaying power!
That pure, physical force of suppression, and Barragán's corrupting laws that erode all things, formed two completely different kinds of terror.

The two constantly clashed and eroded each other.

Finally, as the power of Barragan corroded nearly half of the pillar, this colossal pillar, tens of meters in diameter, finally pressed down!

Boom——

The indescribable impact shook the entire Hueco Mundo desert. A terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring, leveling sand dunes for miles around and sending sandstorms hundreds of meters into the air.

Large numbers of Picalo were blown away like leaves in a strong wind, squealing and yelling.

The three subordinates of Barragán exclaimed in horror, "Your Majesty?!"

The smoke slowly dispersed.

The towering rock pillar was deeply embedded in the earth, with only half of its shaft visible. Golden runes flowed continuously on it, emanating a powerful sealing aura. At the base of the pillar where it met the earth, a grayish-black aura of decay still stubbornly seeped out in wisps, eroding the rock and making a hissing sound that made one's teeth ache, though at a much slower pace than before.

Beneath the rock pillar, in that suppressed space, Barragan's spiritual pressure did not disappear, but became extremely obscure and stagnant, as if it had been firmly suppressed underground by this sudden mountain!
"Damn it!"

His Majesty was trapped underneath?!
Nigel, the subordinate official, was greatly alarmed and wanted to rescue Barragan, who was imprisoned under the pillar.

At this moment, Guan Yi cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Kids! I've got the guys who're messing with the game under control. Take this opportunity to stop those three!"

"Wow wow wow—" "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Virtual flash!"

The crimson glow reappeared, and the officials of Barragán were suddenly too busy to pay attention to their emperor to care about him, as they were surrounded by the Picards.

At that moment, a low, disdainful yet murderous voice emanated from beneath the rock pillar that suppressed the space: "Control me, huh?"

Kaka-

The sound of rocks shattering echoed as the massive rock pillar began to crumble and decay from its center.

A bone claw, shrouded in a dense, gray-black aura of death, suddenly burst forth from the base of the rock pillar, its five fingers digging fiercely into the ground!
Silently, the Ninety-Sixth Binding Path turned to dust under the powerful corrosive force, revealing the unharmed figure of Barragan.

"Kid, you... huh?!"

Before Bailergan could ramble on any further, even earlier, Guan Yi was already rapidly chanting: "All things obey the law, destiny follows its course... Give the sinners the thread of salvation, tie their souls to the pillar of judgment, to the Eastern Heaven, to the Western Pole..."

"Binding Spell Number Ninety-Seven - Life-Suspending Thread!"

Swish swish swish—without warning, countless strands of almost transparent spiritual pressure appeared around Barragan, who had just escaped his confinement!
With lightning speed, they frantically coiled around Barragan's body, grabbing his limbs and torso. The corrosive, gray-black mist couldn't even keep up with the rate at which the threads regenerated, making it impossible to completely defend against!
'Huh? What's going on?!'

'This thing... is it actually devouring my spiritual pressure to grow?!' Even Barragan, who has lived for countless years, has never seen all of the Kido.

He had encountered the previous binding spell number ninety-six before, but this was the first time he had ever seen binding spell number ninety-seven. Before he could even grasp the principles and abilities of this binding spell, he was already suspended in a giant spiderweb in the air!
But Guan Yi's attack was not over yet.

He clasped his hands together, his face showing signs of strain amidst the shock of his spiritual pressure, and growled:

"Binding Spell Number Ninety-Eight: Five Pillar Thunder Prison!"

Above the spider web, space tore open once more!

This time, five colossal pillars, their entire bodies crackling with raging blue-white lightning, descended! They were not solid rock pillars, but rather composed of highly condensed lightning and sealing runes, which were pinned to Barragan's limbs and head, which had been torn apart by the spider web!
A life-or-death thread is suspended, guiding lightning and thunder.

In an instant, Binding Path No. 97 and Binding Path No. 98 combined to form the ultimate Binding Path, creating a terrifying Thunder Prison that once again sealed the terrified and enraged Barragan Town underground!
"That wretched little devil of death!"

Barragán's angry roar echoed, but this time he really couldn't escape quickly!

Inside Guan Yi's body, Grimmjow was completely stunned: "You...you bastard..."

hateful!

Were you kidding me when you fought me?!
It's no exaggeration to say that the rock pillar from before could have kept him in place for half a day!
"call……"

Guan Yi didn't respond to him, only taking a couple of light breaths. Even with his Qimen enhancement, releasing these highest-level binding techniques wasn't easy. These were also among the few binding techniques he couldn't yet improve to a stronger level!
These aren't enough to deal with Barragan, whose abilities are bug-level, but they're sufficient as a prelude to a killing move.

Clang——

Guan Yi drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.

He was actually quite restrained by Barragan, just like what Hōda Hachigen did in the original work. Having mastered the Binding Path to its extreme and possessing countless individual spells, he could easily use the Eight Gates to transfer Barragan's decaying abilities into his own body.

But Guan Yi's goal this time is not to kill Barragan, but to devour him! In that case, it would be too arrogant to hold back against Barragan, who has ruled Hueco Mundo for countless years.

Leaking one's own intelligence?

It doesn't matter anymore. After this battle, Guan Yi is confident that he will be able to master an even higher level of power!

Initial explanation.

"Fall into the cycle of reincarnation, dual realms."
