Theres nothing the royal guard could do against the almighty ability. Theyre done for against that, just like everyone else. I liked the fan theory that the Royal Guard would have to protect the new Soul King (effectively Yhwach), but it was flimsy at best as they have free will and enough brains to know not to support him. But if the manga hadnt ended so abruptly, it would have been nice change to show off some unseen powers like Shinji's Bankai. Better than fighting that bland Viking guy.
