Chapter 107: Big Dog
Ichigo started running towards Baraggan. He was clenching his swords tightly. His reddish-brown eyes stared at Baraggan calmly all the while.
Baraggan was staring at him with a creepy aura around him.
All of a sudden, Ichigo's sight was replaced with a vision. It showed Baraggan unleashing a black and purple, smoke-like miasma, which, radiating outward from him, ages and rots anything which it comes into contact with. This Technique is called Respira.
Baraggan in the vision then shot the black and purple smoke at him at blinding speeds. Ichigo's vision returned to normal again. He narrowed his eyes.
Just as he got out of the vision, Baraggan did the exact same thing shown in the vision. The smoke rushed towards him at blinding speeds. Ichigo dodged it by jumping up.
The smoke grabbed nothing. Ichigo appeared in front of Baraggan. The claymore which was originally on his right hand was spinning in the air.
Ichigo raised his black colored arm. He opened it wide so the palm was facing Baraggan.
Unexpectedly, a large mouth opened on the palm, separating it. The mouth had two rows of pearl white teeth and had a red tongue.
Ichigo sent his palm towards Baraggan. His right hand was stopped by the time dilation barrier.
Baraggan was about to gloat but all of a sudden, the space around him started cracking like glass cracking.
*CRASSHH!!!*
The space made a loud glass breaking sound. Ichigo grinned crazily. He kicked Baraggan in the head.
*BOOMMMMMMM!!!!*
Baraggan blasted back, breaking the sound barrier in the process. He crashed into the deserts of Hueco Mundo.
"Ugh!!!" Baraggan grunted in agony. His skull was missing a large chunk. Ichigo landed gracefully in front of him.
Baraggan got up. "How!!! How is that possible!!! I am untouchable!!! How could someone like you, hurt me!!!" Baraggan shouted with pure hatred in his voice. Ichigo grinned and raised his right hand, showing the mouth on his palm.
The mouth stuck out his tongue playfully at Baraggan, prompting Ichigo to do the same. Ichigo then raised his right hand high. The claymore that was spinning in the air blasted towards him.
Ichigo caught it and slashed it at the air.
*FWOOOOMMMM!!!*
The sand on his right flew up violently after he slashed his claymore. Ichigo then donned back on his calm face.
Baraggan growled and kept sending the black and purple smoke at him. Ichigo dodged them easily and sliced off Baraggan's right arm.
Baraggan screamed in agony and swung his battle axe at him. Ichigo looked at the axe and dodged it.
He appeared beside the axe which had struck the ground.
*SHING!*
Ichigo had sliced off Baraggan's left arm. Baraggan is now armless. Ichigo disappeared again and appeared in front of the ex-God-King.
He was empty-handed now. He raised his right hand and put his palm on Baraggan's ribs.
"Farewell, ex-God-King. I'll be taking over now."
.

*FWOOOOOOM!!!!*
A black eerie oval dome that matched Baraggan's height covered him completely. The black dome was slowly sucked into the mouth that was on Ichigo's palm.
Every last part was consumed. The black stuff disappeared. All that was left was Baraggan's clothes and the golden crown he was wearing.
The mouth on Ichigo's palm used it's tongue to lick it's lips. It then closed and disappeared without a trace.
Mimihagi's only eye blinked. "Consumption complete. I must say, You have used your new powers very skillfully." Mimihagi's and complimented. Ichigo chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.
" It's all about relying on my instincts, Mimihagi. I just gotta go with the flow sometimes. " Ichigo replied to him. Mimihagi blinked again.
"I should also inform you that you now have Baraggan's abilities now. Of course, you don't have his Zanpakutō but you have the time dilation barrier and the deteriorating smoke abilities that he has. You should be informed right about.... now. "

Ichigo was very hyped. He can't wait to train in these abilities. "I don't care if I don't have the experience. I'm going to do this my own way. " Ichigo grinned. When he was about to walk away, he looked at the crown on the grown.
He was looking at a full, extravagantly decorated, bejeweled crown, with a chain running downward on the left side.
"Yoink. It's mine now, bitch." Ichigo spat on Baraggan's clothes. He wore the crown on his head.
"See ya later, sucker."

"Itsygo is so cooool!!!!" Nel shouted excitedly. She had witnessed everything. She found that every move he made was awesome. When Baraggan used his Resurrección, she genuinely felt scared when she saw Ichigo's worried expression.
But when he won, she was overjoyed and was currently doing a dance.
Ichigo was walking towards her. He was currently conversing with Mimihagi. "What was that vision I saw just now? I just saw the future." Ichigo asked him.
"That was only a short glimpse of the divine power that is called The Almighty. The Almighty is an ability that allows one to perceive and potentially alter the future. The Almighty is proof of a 'true Quincy'. I'll explain why. Only three people in this world have this ability. Can you guess who they are?" Mimihagi asked Ichigo.
" Soul King, Yhwach and the last one I don't know. " Ichigo answered.
" The last one is Jugram Haschwalth. Yhwach and Haschwalth share The Almighty, with Yhwach having it during the day and Haschwalth possessing it at night after Yhwach falls asleep." Mimihagi explained. Ichigo nodded easily understanding his explanation.
"So what does it mean for me?" Ichigo asked him.
"It means that you have the power to use The Almighty when you 100% fuse with me. I am the Soul King's right arm. It is natural that I have this ability as well. " Mimihagi answered truthfully.
" But you will not have them right now though. I will not let you abuse this ability. You have come this far all because of your work ethic. I will not let it be ruined by The Almighty. Arrogance feels great, but it can become one's downfall quickly." Mimihagi added.
" I respect that. Besides I have the ability to dilate time. I'm good for now. " Ichigo muttered. He quickly exited his Shikai form. Mimihagi closed his eyes and started to disappear. The black tint on his arms was gone within a few seconds. He used Sonído and appeared beside Nel.
" Itsygo!!" Nel shouted and jumped into his arms. Ichigo smiled brightly and caught her. He hugged her as she hugged him.
Suddenly, he heard sobbing. He frowned and looked at Nel who was sobbing uncontrollably.
" When the skeleton released his Resurrección, I-I thought Itsygo was about to go bye bye! Nel thought that she would lose her best friend forever!" Nel sobbed. Ichigo shook his head and hugged her tightly.
"Shh.... It's alright now Nel. He's gone now. Something like that is never going to happen again, not on my watch.....
