Chapter 300: Ishida Uryuu
Unknown place
Pure white stone buildings stood tall, and the huge buildings were completely different from Soul Society's exquisite houses. They were more or less wrapped in a layer of ice crystals, adding a bit of a cold temperament to them.
Pa – Pa – Pa – –
One figure after another moved forward in an orderly manner. The pure white uniforms made these soldiers look extraordinary, and their uniform movements proved their discipline. This was a group of soldiers who absolutely obeyed.
"Your Majesty Yhwach!!"
The leader held the Sternritter medal in his hand, raised his head, and shouted in a fanatical tone. His eyes were full of fanaticism when he looked at Yhwach, which was a kind of fanaticism willing to die for.
"Is everyone here? Sternritter."
Glancing at the people below the stage faintly, Yhwach's tone was very calm.
Compared to these Quincy soldiers who worshipped him like crazy believers, his feelings were much thinner.
For him, the so-called subordinates were just tools to realize his own mark, and loyal subordinates were just tools to be used. What's more, these Quincy with low abilities were just cannon fodder used to test Shinigami when fighting.
"Everyone, I have something to announce."
Looking at the people below who were quiet because of his words, Yhwach motioned to the person standing behind the scenes to step forward.
With steady steps, Ishida Uryū, dressed in a pure white dress of Sternritter, calmly walked to Yhwach's side.
"What happened?"
Seeing Ishida Uryū standing next to Yhwach, the people of Sternritter below could not help but whisper. Not only the ordinary soldiers, but even the leaders of the high positions looked at Ishida Uryū on the stage with astonishment.
"Who is that man? Why is he standing on the stage with His Majesty?"
"Ishida Uryū, the last Quincy who survived in this world. I appoint him as my heir!"
Yhwach's announcement immediately caused an uproar among the members of the Sternritter. Everyone looked at Ishida Uryū who stood beside Yhwach with an unbelievable expression. This guy who came out of nowhere, how could he be appointed as his heir by His Majesty?
"Please wait! Your Majesty!"
Looking at Ishida Uryū on the stage, there was a hint of suppressed resentment in Bazz-B's eyes. He stepped forward, but before he could say the next words, he was stopped by Haschwalth who came out from the side.
"Don't have any objections, and don't worry! In the future battles, all of you present have a chance to experience his strength personally. I am finished."
Looking at the performance of the people below, after Yhwach made the above statement, he directly turned and left. Ishida Uryū, who was very close to him, felt that at the moment when Yhwach turned around, his body seemed to pause. It was not a deliberate action or any other meaning. If it was said, it was probably like the discomfort that was unconsciously displayed because of the original body.
…
"What the hell is going on? I don't understand what is going on at all! Who is that guy? Come and explain to me!"
Bazz-B slammed the thing in his hand on the ground angrily. Bazz-B was frowning, and his face was full of undisguised hostility. After thinking for a moment, he directly jumped off the high platform.
"Hey, Bazz-B, where are you going?"
"Go to His Majesty! I still can't recognize this matter. I will go to His Majesty to argue!"
Hearing Bazz-B's words, the eyes of the Quincy above contracted slightly. Thinking of His Majesty's horror, his tone was a little eager to persuade Bazz-B to stop. "Idiot! Don't go! Do you think His Majesty will allow such a thing?"
"Jugo…"
Looking at the person walking in front of him from the shadows, Bazz-B stopped and his tone was slightly complicated.
"Where are you going, Bazz-B?"
As for you,
Are you not going anywhere now?
Instead of answering Haschwalth's words, Bazz-B looked at the familiar and strange partner in front of him. "I always thought that the heir of His Majesty should be you!"
"If you were the heir, most of the members of the Sternritter will recognize you, but you yourself look as if nothing has happened?"
"His Majesty's decree is everything! There is no room for a lowly person like me to interrupt."
In the face of Bazz-B's question, Haschwalth's face did not fluctuate at all.
"Tsk, good-for-nothing! How disappointing."
Hearing Haschwalth's answer, Bazz-B frowned, took a step, and released a hot breath.
"If that's the case, then give up that chair now! If you don't mind giving that chair to that country bumpkin, then let me take it!"
"Calm down, Bazz-B!"
"I'm quite calm now!"
"You have to be calmer than you are now!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two was tense, a Reiryoku cut in and resolved the imminent battle between the two.
"It's really… I can't calm down!"
It was unknown when the Quincy next to the two people now crossed his arms, held his chin, and spoke in a chanting tone.
"Did you not listen at all? Calm down! Calm down —"
"What are you doing here, Nakk Le Vaar ····?"
Looking at the guy leaning against the wall, Bazz-B was a little calmer.
"It's not good to help you. His Majesty doesn't like to fight, and there are good people here."
Looking at a dark corner in the distance, Nakk Le Vaar glanced at Haschwalth's unchanging face.
"Stop, you two. This kind of battle is not good for you, especially for you. There will only be, you should know, right? The next Emperor!"
…
"In this way, the inheritance ceremony will be completed. Before long, your power will begin to awaken. I now give you the same Schrift as me."
Watching Ishida Uryū accept the power he gave, Yhwach's face flashed a mysterious smile.
"Why do you want me to be your heir?"
Looking at Yhwach sitting on the throne, Ishida Uryū finally asked this question.
"In that form, I suddenly appear as your heir. I think this will cause conflict within the Sternritter."
"Fortunately, you are not a fool who only accepts the title. However, the consideration is not thorough. As for why I want to appoint you as my heir, you should understand it after thinking a little."
Looking at the confused Ishida Uryū, Yhwach's mouth pulled out a smile.
"Do you still not understand? Then, let me ask you, Uryuu, why are you alive now?"
Hearing Yhwach's question, Ishida Uryū's pupils contracted slightly and he understood in an instant.
"You understand it very quickly."
Seemingly very satisfied with Ishida Uryū's reaction, the extent of Yhwach's mouth slightly changed.
"Nine years ago, after I used my Auswahlen it, all the mixed-blood Quincy was wiped out! In addition to you, you are the only Quincy in history who survived. So, I specially used to introduce you. You have something beyond my strength. That is the reason why I am appointed as my heir."
"Understand, Uryuu? Don't doubt it, come with me!"
Standing up and looking down at Ishida Uryū, Yhwach's voice was full of oppression and temptation.
"By your will, Your Majesty!"
Ishida Uryū bowed his head slightly to Yhwach.
"You are back, Lord Haschwalth!"
"You haven't slept yet? It's already very late. You should rest!"
Looking at the maid who was standing straight and meticulous, Haschwalth took off his coat and hung it on the hanger on the side.
"I have heard about what His Majesty announced today…"
The maid did not listen to Haschwalth's words and went to rest. The maid lowered her head and glanced at Haschwalth from the corner of her eyes.
"Please forgive me for speaking too much. I think you should speak to His Majesty."
"Are you unconvinced?"
"Doesn't Lord Haschwalth think so?"
"Although I can't understand, this is His Majesty's will. By appointing an heir in that form, it is bound to cause unnecessary conflict within the knights. His Majesty will know this. In that case, there is only one answer. This is that His Majesty intends to create a conflict. The conflict will let each other monitor each other. Not only that, but it also makes everyone's eyes turn to Ishida Uryū."
"Who is he? What kind of power does he have? What kind of thoughts does he have? In this way, all his words and deeds will be…"
"Under the eyes of everyone, that person, except for sacrificing himself for His Majesty, has no way to go. Even if that person notices His Majesty's deep meaning, it is too late."
Haschwalth coldly and quietly analyzed the truth behind Yhwach's seemingly strange behavior. Then he entered his room in the eyes of the maid worship and gently closed the door. There was an imperceptible strange look in his eyes.
Compared with Yhwach's announcement of the identity of Ishida Uryū's heir, what concerned him more was another thing.
He thought back to the unnatural pause when Yhwach left the field in the daytime, and the eyes that His Majesty finally revealed when he was at Soul Society.
"The sealed King of Quincy, after 9,000 years of retrieving heartbeat, 90 years of retrieving consciousness, 9 years of retrieving strength…"
He whispered the words of the Quincy, and there was an inexplicable look in Haschwalth's eyes.
So, if he forcibly used the real power of the King of Quincy before the nine years were up, what would the consequences be?
