As the Reiss Family kept staring at the unconscious Nineteen year-old Eren Yeager, whom was retrained on top of the platform, Rod Reiss thought that it was time to begin the ritual. He stood in front of his family and raised his hands by his sides.

"At last. The Reiss Family will once again gain the power of the Founding Titan. And not only that, we will gain the Attack Titan and the Warhammer Titan, as well." Rod said, then thought of something.

Frieda Reiss stared at his backside, speaking no words at all.

"Rod, who's going to eat that man, up there? I'm concerned." Rod's wife asked in a worried tone, as she placed her hand on her youngest daughter's shoulders.

Rod Reiss let out a quiet sigh. "I've thought long and hard of who will be the one to devour that devil-ever since Frieda had left. And so..."

Urklyn Reiss suddenly took a step forward and approached Rod. "Father."

Rod turned to see his eldest son, Urklyn reach out to him.

"Apologies for interrupting, but allow me to be the one to put an end to that devil." Urklyn boldly told Rod, as he pointed upwards at the platform.

"Urklyn..." Rod's Wife muttered.

"Big brother... Dirk chanted.

Frieda stared with a calm look on her face, as her eyes shined a bright blue color.

"Are you sure that you want to obtain that immense power?" Rod asked Urklyn as he looked his eldest son in the eye.

"Yes. I am." Urklyn answered.

"Once you eat Eren Yeager, you will not only possess the Power of the Founder-like your sister... but you will also possess the Powers of the Attack and Warhammer Titans." Rod had reminded his son, Urklyn.

Urklyn slowly nodded. "I know. And I am prepared for that responsibility. No matter what it takes." Urklyn gripped his fists."

Rod looked towards his children. "Abel. Dirk. Florian." he called upon his youngest children. "Do you all agree that your older brother should possess the Power of the Founder-besides your older sister?"

"Yes!" Dirk quickly answered.

"This is the time to rebuild our heaven!" Abel jumped with optimism.

"And plus, two Founders are better than one, right?" Dirk said.

A young and timid Florian Reiss slowly nodded her head towards her father, as she gripped onto her mother's white robe.

After hearing his youngest Rod then looked at his eldest daughter, Frieda. "Frieda. I want to here your honest answer. Are you comfortable with your brother also wielding the Power of the Founder?"

Frieda had locked eyes with her father, briefly. Then looked at her brother, Urklyn, who looked serious, momentarily. She then glanced back at Rod, then blinked after five seconds. "I will go with what you believe is right."

Rod slowly closed his eyes, after hearing Frieda's answer. "Very well." He then walked over to and placed his right hand on Urklyn's left shoulder. "Okay, Urklyn. You have everyone's vote."

"Thank you, dad." Urklin chuckled.

"Please, be careful, Urklyn." Rod's Wife said in a concerned tone.

Urklyn quickly turned towards his mother and smiled. "Don't worry, mom. When I turn into a Titan, Frieda will make sure that I eat Eren." Urklyn said, referring Frieda's Founding Titan power. "And also, mom. I won't let the Power of the Titans corrupt me."
