"Someone asked this before too. The King said that Captain-Commander Yamamoto is old now, and very easy to deal with," Candice said it as if it were only natural.
After saying that, she could not help looking at Ishida Ryuken and asked, "Speaking of which, you old antiques are all the same. What exactly is that old man amazing at? Why do all of you treat him like some big demon king?"
"He killed Yhwach with his own hands a thousand years ago without even fully using Bankai. Isn't that enough to be treated like a demon king?"
Rosse laughed helplessly, kneading Candice's soft hair as if playing with a Barbie doll.
"Ah? So he did not even go all out back then?", Candice cried out in surprise.
She was a newcomer born in the Wandenreich in recent years and did not know what had actually happened back then.
All she knew was that Yhwach really did lose to Captain-Commander Yamamoto, but in all the propaganda, it was said that Yhwach deliberately lost in order to hide himself.
But listening to what Rosse said now, it clearly was not like that at all.
It seemed that Yhwach had been utterly defeated, and lost miserably.
At this moment, in Candice's heart, her evaluation of Yhwach dropped quite a bit.
Waking up and killing his own people, even though he gave some people great power, it was completely useless when facing an opponent like Rosse.
A king like that, does it really have any future following him?
And Rosse also seemed to have methods to give people power as well.
Thinking of this, Candice could not help but look at Rosse.
Since Rosse already gave her power and even made her something like the Ninth Blade, could she take this chance to change sides?
It really felt like following Yhwach any further would lead nowhere.
Everyone knew Yhwach was going to awaken. Other people had been preparing for almost a thousand years. Even if he came back to life, he would probably just be a toy.
"Your Majesty, is there anything else you wish to ask?"
"You called me what?", Rosse's hand paused mid-stroke as he looked at Candice in surprise.
'So good at reading the situation?'
He had not even fought Yhwach yet, and Candice was already switching sides?
"Of course, Your Majesty. But if you want me to call you that, Master, I can reluctantly accept it too," When she said that title, Candice's face turned red with embarrassment.
A word like Master, she really could not say it easily.
"Your Majesty is fine. That title sounds good."
Rosse chuckled and reached out to pinch Candice's cheek:
"Since you're being so good, I'll give you another gift."
As he spoke, he released Candice's slightly flushed cheek and flipped his hand, a fruit appearing in his palm.
"What is this?"
Candice curiously looked over the fruit. When she saw the lightning-like patterns on it, she immediately felt drawn to it.
"Something good that can not only strengthen you, but also save your life once," Rosse smiled faintly and gave Candice a look.
Candice immediately understood and obediently opened her mouth.
Rosse's fingers slid lightly, shaving off a piece of the fruit's flesh, which fell into Candice's mouth.
"Mmph!"
The taste, like literal shit, made Candice's eyes go wide in an instant.
If the one standing in front of her were not Rosse, she would definitely have spat in his face.
"Eat it all."
With Rosse's words, more fruit flesh kept entering Candice's mouth.
Although she resisted in her heart, facing Rosse's feeding, Candice did not dare close her mouth. She could only treat this as an obedience test, endure the discomfort, and swallow the fruit flesh down.
And as she kept swallowing, she also noticed changes in her body.
Crackle!
Under everyone's gaze, two small white dragon horns grew from Candice's head, and a not very large dragon tail appeared behind her.
"Dragon?"
Seeing Candice's form, Ishida Ryuken and Kurosaki Masaki's expressions turned serious.
But they did not think too deeply about it, just assuming Rosse had used some tool to stimulate Hollowfied evolution on Candice. After all, aside from not having a mask, Candice's current appearance was not much different from Hollowfication.
And thinking about the Arrancar in Las Noches, they instead felt that Candice looking like this was actually normal.
"Woo!"
Candice subconsciously let out a dragon's roar. Lightning wrapped around her body, electricity flickered in her eyes, and paired with her hot, spicy figure, she had already transformed into an extremely beautiful female dragon humanoid.
After quite some time, Candice finally fully regained consciousness.
She slowly retracted the lightning, then knelt down cleanly in front of Rosse, lowered her head, and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for granting me power."
She could clearly feel that after eating that fruit, not only had her Quincy power and Hollow power fused perfectly, her strength had also increased by a huge margin.
Even more, lightning had now become her instinct, rather than the Schrift power bestowed on her by Yhwach.
She did not know whether Rosse had a way to take back this power, but no matter how she looked at it, the power Rosse gave was far more advanced than what Yhwach gave.
Without even thinking, she had already decided in her heart that from now on, she belonged to Rosse.
"Get up. It's just a bit of power. As long as you're loyal enough, I'll give you more in the future."
Rosse gently stroked Candice's cheek, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The fruit he gave Candice was a Thunder Dragon Fruit from the Mythical Zoan category. It was the same type as Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit, just with effects leaning more toward lightning power.
After eating this fruit, Candice was equivalent to being tainted with the power of his world.
"Your Majesty, I will stay by Yhwach's side and gather intelligence for you!"
Candice lifted her head and proactively rubbed her cheek against Rosse's hand.
There was no choice. Rosse gave too much. She simply could not refuse.
Now the only thing she feared was Yhwach discovering her betrayal and then killing her.
"Since you've said that, let me help you a bit more."
As Rosse's palm rubbed over her, Candice's spiritual pressure, which had originally reached an enormous S+ level, now rapidly began to fall.
In just a short while, Candice's spiritual pressure returned to around the S- level.
At the same time, with a light flick of Rosse's hand, another Candice-shaped figure slowly condensed beside him. Judging from its spiritual pressure, the newly formed Candice was at least at S rank.
Seeing this scene, Kurosaki Masaki could not tell anything unusual, but Ishida Ryuken's pupils suddenly shrank.
With just one glance, he could tell the difference between the two Candices.
It was not just a difference in strength, but the difference between having a physical body and not.
Soul Society is a world of spirit particles, and the Quincy Wandenreich exists in the shadow of Seireitei, so naturally it is also a world made of spirit particles.
For a physical body from the material world to enter a spirit particle world, either it temporarily abandons the body and enters in a spiritual form, or the body is spiritualized.
The essence of Quincies is human beings. Their bodies are made of matter, not pure spiritual bodies like Shinigami.
Therefore, Candice's original body was a physical body that had been spiritualized.
And what Rosse just did was completely separate Candice's physical body and her spiritual body.
The newly formed spiritual body was not just pure spirit particles, but was more like an existence similar to a clone.
Even if it died, it would not have much impact on the main body. At most, she would lose some spiritual pressure, which could probably be easily restored with Rosse's methods.
