"Lord Araki, be careful! Please step back and leave this to me!"
As Barragan watched Lilinette Starrk charge toward Araki amid the endless Ceros she had unleashed, a sharp glint immediately flashed in his pitch-black eye sockets. He knew his chance to perform had come!
The moment Barragan finished speaking, he used Sonido and instantly positioned himself in front of Araki, using his immense power of "aging" to block the Ceros filling the sky that Lilinette had fired...
"Lord Araki, you saw it yourself. This Vasto Lorde may be powerful, but she is completely insane and cannot communicate normally with the rest of us! I think we should just... kill her!"
After shielding Araki, Barragan did not forget to badmouth Lilinette, trying to stir Araki's anger and make him kill Lilinette on the spot! After all, in Barragan's eyes, the fewer Menos Grande Araki subdued, the better it would be for him and Jibā.
Although Barragan was so old that even he no longer remembered his own age, he still clearly remembered those distant days when he had first begun ruling Hueco Mundo. Back then, whenever an Adjuchas beside him died, he would grieve for a long time, personally mourn them, and personally avenge them...
Yet as time passed, whether it was an ordinary Adjuchas or a Menos Grande with special abilities, their deaths no longer stirred even the slightest ripple in his heart...
In his eyes, if those Menos Grande died, they died. He could simply find new ones afterward!
Sometimes, once you had too much of something, it stopped being valuable...
In Barragan's view, his and Jibā's status by Araki's side would inevitably continue to decline as the number of Menos Grande around Araki increased. If they were all weaker than him, that would be one thing! But
