In an instant, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from the underground palace of the Great Hollow Home, and then Yekawa transformed into a bolt of lightning, leading his Menos Grande subordinates towards Hueco Mundo.
Baraggan, who had been sitting calmly on his bone throne supervising, suddenly felt several powerful spiritual pressures approaching Hueco Mundo.
But by the time he reacted, he found a young man in a white robe with a Zanpakuto at his waist already standing before him.
"This strange attire... Are you a human... or a Shinigami?"
Baraggan looked at the man before him with a look of suspicion. Previously, his underestimation of Aizen had brought him misfortune, and now seeing another person of unknown origin, he naturally dared not take him lightly.
"Hello there, Baraggan! My name is Yekawa, and I am an Arrancar!"
Yekawa looked at Baraggan, who was like a startled bird, and smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"What? You're an Arrancar?"
Seeing the human in front of him claim to be an Arrancar, Baraggan was filled with disbelief, because in his understanding, the Arrancar that Aizen had messed with were nothing more than Hollows who had been strengthened after their masks were broken.
"An Arrancar shouldn't be..."
Seeing Baraggan's look of disbelief, Yekawa scoffed:
"Should be what? Should be like those incomplete Arrancar Aizen created, neither human nor Hollow?"
"Don't compare me to those incomplete Arrancar that Aizen crudely manufactured!"
"At this moment, I have already evolved to a level you cannot reach!"
"You poor wretch, indulging on a false throne!"
Upon hearing this, Baraggan, who had been sitting on his bone throne with his fist propping his chin, suddenly burst forth with a loud roar, raising a giant axe and charging towards Yekawa.
Seeing this, Yekawa did not draw his sword, only smiled faintly, and pointed a finger before Baraggan could reach him. A blade condensed from dark golden lightning was already resting on Baraggan's neck.
"Do you want to continue, Baraggan?"
Yekawa's fingertip moved slightly, and the blade formed from lightning power cut three fen deep into the bone.
"Bastard, how dare you!"
Just as Yekawa was toying with Baraggan, the Adjuchas responsible for constructing the new Hueco Mundo behind him all stepped forward.
Leading them was an Adjuchas shaped like a crab, who roared at Yekawa:
"How dare you! You dare to offend Emperor Baraggan!"
As he spoke, a high-pressure water cannon shot from his giant crab claw, heading straight for Yekawa.
Yekawa stood still, watching the high-pressure water cannon approach, his expression calm as if the high-pressure water cannon didn't exist at all.
"Waterfall Severance!"
However, just as the high-pressure water cannon was about to touch Yekawa, a towering water wall instantly rose three feet from Yekawa's body, firmly blocking the high-pressure water cannon!
Immediately, Harribel and a group of Vasto Lorde appeared beside Yekawa with a flash.
Harribel unleashed a Cero against the crab-shaped Adjuchas, directly blasting him away.
"Findorr!"
Watching his few loyal subordinates being directly knocked unconscious by Harribel's single blow, their lives unknown.
"You're going too far!"
"A mere Adjuchas dares to offend Lord Yekawa, simply courting death!"
Ulquiorra, who had always been unsmiling, spoke rarely from behind.
Baraggan looked at Yekawa, his eyes filled with an indescribable coldness. If looks could kill, Yekawa would have been riddled with holes by now!
He truly didn't understand why Vasto Lorde, as the highest-ranking Menos Grande, should each have their own pride, yet they all submitted to Yekawa.
He had repeatedly tried to recruit Harribel and had endured her many affronts, yet he still failed.
But in contrast, Yekawa could have so many Vasto Lorde at his command.
"You're the one who established the Great Hollow Home!"
Now seeing several Vasto Lorde and a group of Adjuchas gathered behind Yekawa, even Baraggan, slow as he was, could guess Yekawa's identity.
"Since you are all Hollows, why do you not obey me, Emperor Baraggan, the King of Hueco Mundo, and instead defy me!"
"Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing Baraggan's words, Yekawa seemed to have heard the funniest joke, bursting into laughter.
"King of Hueco Mundo? Baraggan, do you even believe what you're saying? Do you think that thing on your head is still a crown? It's nothing more than a collar you've put on yourself!"
Seeing Yekawa so blatantly humiliate him, Baraggan's anger surged instantly, and he once again wielded his black giant axe, striking at him.
Yekawa, however, transformed into lightning, flashing past Baraggan, and then snapped his fingers.
A dazzling bolt of lightning appeared, forming a lightning barrier that enveloped both Baraggan and Yekawa.
Looking at Yekawa, who could pull him into such a barrier without him even noticing, Baraggan was greatly alarmed, and a strange thought suddenly arose:
"Perhaps he really can defeat Aizen..."
Now, in the barrier where no third person could see, Yekawa no longer had his playful expression. Holding a dark golden lightning orb, he looked at Baraggan with cold eyes:
"Baraggan Louisenbairn, I give you two choices. First, I send you to hell right now!"
"Second, swallow this lightning orb and then submit to me. I, Yekawa, swear in the name of the Child of Hueco Mundo, that one day I will grant you enough power to take revenge on Aizen, and you yourself will complete that revenge!"
"The Child of Hueco Mundo, huh..."
Yekawa had originally thought Baraggan would hesitate, but he didn't expect that this former Emperor of Hueco Mundo would not hesitate at all, taking the lightning orb from Yekawa's hand and swallowing it directly into his stomach.
"Don't forget your promise!"
At this moment, Baraggan was no longer as impulsive and irritable as before, but instead became exceptionally calm, and there seemed to be Hellfire flickering in his eerie skull-like eye sockets.
The next moment, Baraggan made a move that Yekawa hadn't expected.
He took off the crown on his head, which once symbolized the supreme power of the King of Hueco Mundo, and crushed it directly in his bony claw...
Baraggan had a secret buried deep within his heart. Thousands of years ago, Baraggan was just an incredibly weak Freshman Skeleton Hollow. At that time, he couldn't even perform basic solo hunting until one day, he and another Freshman Hollow encountered a mysterious entity who called himself the Child of Hueco Mundo.
With the help of this mysterious entity, the two weak Freshman Hollows grew into Vasto Lorde. Later, the mysterious entity known as the Child of Hueco Mundo strangely disappeared.
And the other Vasto Lorde was also lost in the Soul King Palace after attacking the Soul Society...
