"I..."
Bai Yuetong's eyes widened at first, with an expression that said, 'How could you make such baseless accusations?' But then, a look of sudden realization dawned on his face.
That's right, I can do that... How did I not think of it? Liltotto is a goddamn genius!
In that way, he could indeed form a connection with Gremmy and share in his ridiculously overpowered ability.
As for forming connections with the other Quincy in the Wandenreich through mutual consent, that was too difficult. The atmosphere was toxic, with colleagues constantly backstabbing each other. Expecting them to be loving and willing to share was practically impossible.
It would be better to wait for the war with the Soul Reapers to start, beat his colleagues to their knees, and force them to share with his overwhelming strength.
Of course, because Bai Yuetong was handsome, powerful, favored by the Emperor, and had a legendary rise from an ordinary person to his current position, his reputation among the lower-ranking Quincy was mixed. There were those who were jealous and resentful, but also those who projected their own fantasies onto him, seeing him as an idol. He had a fair number of followers and admirers.
Just like Haschwalth had his loyal female adjutant, Bai Yuetong had his own fans who would surely not hesitate to share everything they had with him.
Unfortunately, Bai Yuetong's appetite could no longer be satisfied by these ordinary soldiers. With the great war about to begin, he didn't have the long years Aizen had to slowly cultivate more subordinates.
Of course, he wouldn't waste the good-looking female Quincy with ordinary talent. Though their power was weak, each one was a walking resurrection spring. If even one of them survived the Auswählen in the future, he would have a chance to be reborn, even if he died a violent death or was harvested by Yhwach.
After all, based on the novel's plot, there were still remnants of the Quincy hunting squads in Hueco Mundo half a year after the Thousand-Year Blood War, and there were still Quincy strongholds in the human world.
"Still say you have no designs on Gremmy?" Liltotto looked at Bai Yuetong with disdain. She was already convinced that this 'stud horse', who even lusted after her loli-like form, was a pervert without a doubt.
"Nonsense! Don't you slander me! I'm not interested in men. Even if Gremmy's body is just an illusion he created, the first impression is already set. I can't bring myself to do it!" Bai Yuetong thought for a moment but ultimately couldn't overcome his psychological barrier, ruffling Liltotto's golden hair in annoyance.
He didn't like men, and he wasn't Yujiro Hanma, capable of awakening the inner female in anyone.
"So you're saying you actually considered it for a moment? And you still say you're not a pervert?" Liltotto landed a critical hit, sinking Bai Yuetong's battleship.
"Why you little gluttonous, born-evil brat! I'll teach you a lesson!" Bai Yuetong flew into a rage, but Liltotto was already prepared and had dashed away.
As the two chased each other, full of youthful energy, a passing Robert Accutrone watched with complex emotions. It wasn't that the old man disliked the sight, but the war was about to begin, and he wondered how many of them would survive it.
…
Several days later.
The war arrived faster than anyone had anticipated. The Emperor of the Wandenreich, Yhwach, led the charge himself, crushing the Arrancar forces in Hueco Mundo led by Tier Harribel with absolute, overwhelming force. With that, Hueco Mundo fell into Quincy hands.
Hueco Mundo was now a sea of concentrated blue Reishi flames and the corpses of Arrancar.
Of course, many Arrancar were also taken back to the Wandenreich, where they were given power by the Emperor and transformed into members of the Quincy, adding to the ranks of their cannon fodder army.
Bai Yuetong also participated in this operation as a member of the hunting party. After the operation, he was unexpectedly summoned for a private audience with Yhwach.
"I hear you wish to acquire the power of a Hollow?" Yhwach sat on his throne, his tone calm, betraying no emotion.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Bai Yuetong replied respectfully.
He knew that in Yhwach's eyes, the most important thing was usefulness. As long as you were valuable, he would resurrect you even if you died, not caring one bit about your loyalty or attitude.
Conversely, if you lost your value, he would harvest your life without hesitation, no matter how loyal you were. But at this moment, Bai Yuetong remained respectful.
He held no respect for the current Yhwach himself; privately, he often cursed this crazy old man and wished for his early demise. But he was still grateful for the power Yhwach had given him.
More importantly, in front of a being who could take your life at any moment, the weak should know their place.
Even if that being was an obstacle he must one day overcome, it was necessary to maintain a basic sense of reverence for the power that could snuff out his life.
"To stop at nothing for greater power? A fine resolve. War is, after all, about using any means necessary. So, do you have a target in mind?" Yhwach mused. At this moment, he was less like a ruthless emperor and more like an amiable uncle.
"Well..."
Before Bai Yuetong could formulate his words, Yhwach rose, transforming his throne into a staircase of Reishi. He ascended and pulled back a massive curtain.
The defeated Tier Harribel came into view. Her wrists and ankles were shackled, her arms suspended by thin chains. She knelt on the ground, her head bowed, seemingly unconscious and completely unable to resist.
"If you want to obtain the power of a Hollow, then let's experiment with this Vasto Lorde who stood at the pinnacle of Hueco Mundo," Yhwach said. With a wave of his hand, the shackles and chains disintegrated into pure Reishi, and the wounded Harribel, about to fall to the ground, was instantly transported into Bai Yuetong's arms.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Holding the soft, heavy woman in his arms, Bai Yuetong put on an expression of overjoyed surprise.
This was indeed an unexpected delight. Compared to his original plan of seeking out Roka and Neliel, the suddenly acquired Tier Harribel, about to unlock a 'defeated CG' for him, was completely unplanned.
After all, as the defeated ruler of Hueco Mundo, Harribel was a prisoner. Unless he actively submitted a report and requested her, he would never have had the chance.
But more than the surprise, he was focused on the mission he was about to receive.
"After you have tamed her, you will immediately depart for Hueco Mundo. Along with Quilge, you will select more surviving Arrancar who are suitable to serve as soldiers for the Wandenreich. During the selection process, I grant you permission to prioritize finding warriors for yourself. You may keep any female Arrancar who can trigger your ability as your private soldiers and cultivate them." Yhwach said with great generosity and mercy.
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
After thanking Yhwach for his boon, Bai Yuetong departed with his 'reward', looking quite pleased.
