"You've returned, Haschwalth. Where is he?" Yhwach sat upon his throne.
"I have brought him." As soon as Haschwalth finished speaking, Uryū Ishida, dressed in the uniform of the Wandenreich, appeared.
"Welcome, Uryū Ishida. Come, drink from this cup and fight alongside me, my son." Yhwach smiled at Uryū.
To show his loyalty, Uryū knelt on one knee, acknowledging this adoptive father.
...
In the Silbern's great cathedral, all members of the Sternritter and a large number of soldiers had gathered. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified as they awaited inspection by His Majesty, Yhwach. The Sternritter stood in the front row below the stage, each cloaked, with uniformly dressed soldiers behind them. On the high platform before them was a massive throne engraved with the five-pointed Quincy star, with members of the Schutzstaffel standing before it.
When Yhwach entered, Haschwalth shouted, "All, present your crosses and salute His Majesty, Yhwach!"
Everyone present raised their arms in a crisp salute to the emperor of the Wandenreich.
"Are all the Sternritter present? A thousand years ago, we Quincy were brutally attacked by the Soul Reapers. We lost countless comrades and were pushed to the brink of extinction. We have endured humiliation in the 'Schatten Bereich' for a millennium. The final battle is about to begin. We will annihilate the Soul Society, destroy the Soul Reapers, and restore the glory of the Quincy. Before the battle begins, I have an announcement to make."
At this point, Yhwach turned his head to the side. "Come."
With a series of crisp footsteps, Uryū Ishida slowly walked onto the stage.
"Who the hell is that guy?" Bazz-B muttered in annoyance.
"Why is he allowed to stand on the stage with His Majesty?" Giselle was confused.
"This is Uryū Ishida. He is the last surviving Quincy in the world. I now name him my successor."
Yhwach's words left everyone dumbfounded. They found it utterly unbelievable, their minds filled with confusion and questions.
"Why?" Meninas asked.
"His Majesty's successor?" Bambietta was also perplexed. She couldn't see anything special about the guy with glasses.
"That person..." PePe Waccabrada let out a sleazy laugh, as if in disdain.
"What's going on, Jugo?!" An inferno of rage ignited in Bazz-B's heart. He looked up at Haschwalth on the stage, only to be met by Haschwalth's cold, indifferent eyes. In Bazz-B's mind, the only one worthy of being the Wandenreich's successor was his former best friend, Haschwalth.
Baiyue Tong watched the performance on stage with great interest. To him, it was a complete and utter farce. A successor? Don't make me laugh. The Wandenreich, an empire that exists solely for Yhwach, has no need for a successor. This disgusting Quincy nation only has an emperor and his spare food.
"There will be no objections, nor should you worry. In the coming battle, you will all witness his great power firsthand. That is all." After speaking, Yhwach turned and left, with Uryū following him. He was here to make an announcement, not to negotiate.
When the distinct sound of a closing door was heard, Bambietta finally let out a breath and said, puffing her cheeks, "How ridiculous!" She immediately walked over to Baiyue Tong, grabbed his hand like an impatient little brat, and demanded, "I'm really angry right now. So annoyed. Let's go to my room, right now! You must be pissed off too, you bastard, right?"
"Not at all. I don't know what you're so angry about. Does His Majesty seem like someone who would die young? He's just a successor who could be replaced at any time. What's there to be angry about? If I had captured Ichigo Kurosaki in Hueco Mundo, he might be the one being named successor today. Besides, according to His Majesty, Uryū Ishida is a powerful asset. The stronger our side is, the easier this war will be. That's a good thing." Baiyue Tong shook his head.
"You have a point. But this is the first time I've heard of a successor. It still feels strange," Liltotto said.
Meninas chimed in, "Could it be that His Majesty's time is running out?"
"How strange. Are you really not angry at all, you stallion? Don't you want to be His Majesty's successor?" Giselle asked probingly. "And what about that Ichigo Kurosaki? Isn't he the top Special War Power? Why would he be qualified to be a successor?"
"I unconditionally obey His Majesty's orders and pledge my life to support him. I fully support Uryū Ishida becoming the empire's successor," Baiyue Tong declared, raising both hands to show his loyalty.
"Huh? This is ridiculous. Why is there another successor now? Hey, someone explain to me what the hell is going on!" Bazz-B was furious. As if Uryū suddenly appearing wasn't enough, now he was hearing about Ichigo Kurosaki too.
"This is His Majesty's decision. We just need to obey. There's no need for so many questions. His Majesty has no obligation to explain himself to his subordinates. Baiyue Tong is right; you should learn from him," Quilge Opie, a die-hard loyalist of Yhwach, said, displeased with Bazz-B's behavior.
"Damn it, there's no way I can accept this!" Bazz-B roared angrily and stormed out.
"Hey, Bazz-B, where are you going?" Mask De Masculine asked. Baiyue Tong's arrival hadn't pushed him out of the Sternritter; Baiyue Tong's 'S' was a special case, so having two 'S' members was not an issue. However, Mask was merely a hero imagined by James, not the main body.
"To see His Majesty, of course! I can't just keep my mouth shut about this!" Bazz-B charged out like a fighting cock.
"What? Are you crazy, you bastard? Do you think His Majesty will forgive such a treasonous act, Bazz-B?!" Mask was shocked.
"Is that rooster-head for real?" Liltotto was a bit taken aback.
"Don't worry about him. That rooster-head has connections. He'll either be stopped by Haschwalth on the way, or he'll question His Majesty, get beaten half to death, and be saved by Haschwalth's pleading. Those without a backer shouldn't try to imitate him," Baiyue Tong said mockingly, watching Bazz-B's departing figure. He was nothing but a clown.
"Connections? Really? It doesn't seem like it. Isn't he always hostile towards Haschwalth?" Candice was surprised.
"Tch, so annoying. I'm just really irritated right now. Come on and help me cool down!" Bambietta pouted. Even though Baiyue Tong's words made sense, she was fired up and in the mood, refusing to listen to reason as she dragged him toward her room.
