You Have a New Job (Continued)

Yae Sakura patted her chest nervously, then, in front of Otto, inserted the Jizo Mitama into a fully equipped, unloaded rocket.

The next second, her figure transformed into a wisp of black mist, silently merging into the rocket. The Jizo Mitama itself also vanished without a trace, leaving no mark on the rocket.

"Thanks a lot."

"It's... it's alright..."

Hearing Yae Sakura's uneasy voice coming from the rocket, Otto smiled, shook his head, turned around, and waved to start the rocket.

This is Otto's latest method of using Yae Sakura —the rocket transport method.

In Otto's view, Yae Sakura's true form is actually Jizo Mitama, and the essence of Jizo Mitama is the ever-changing soul steel and the formless and shapeless Erosion Authority. Therefore, transforming reality into illusion and integrating into a vehicle to achieve maximum transport speed is an excellent choice for emergencies.

Aside from being a little out of place with the image of a pretty girl, it perfectly illustrates the meaning of "the greatest truths are the simplest."

Currently, this is the fastest way to Teleportation high-end combat power to Base 147 in Siberia.

"Boom!"

The rocket rose high into the sky, trailing a powerful plume of exhaust, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

At the edge of the platform, Durandal raised her hand as if gazing into the distance, watching her comrades depart. Suddenly, her large, clear eyes, as bright as glacial meltwater, sparkled.

"Your Excellency, I suddenly remembered that I could actually launch myself into the air while holding a rocket!"

Following the example, Durandal found her own new way to use it.

Rita: "(???)?"

Otto: "(ˉ▽ˉ;)..."

The image of Durandal using all four limbs to carry herself on a rocket and rapidly reinforce the world has already appeared in their minds, and it is quite vivid.

And it is indeed feasible. For most people, doing this would be suicide, but no one doubts that Durandal has the stamina and courage to carry a rocket across the hemisphere.

The only problem is that the image was too stupid and detracted from the noble image of Schicksal.

"Durandal, what do Rita think of this suggestion... cough, what does Your Excellency think?"

"Huh? Me? I think... um... that..."

The two stammered, each hoping the other would speak first and extinguish Durandal's current passion.

However, everyone knows that once Durandal gets into a decision, even Herrscher will find it difficult to pull her back if she believes she is right.

"Why don't we just get started? Headquarters has plenty of rockets in reserve, we can send one over and send me to fight alongside Sakura!"

Rita: "Ahem! Hello? Oh, it's Lady Theresa. What's up? Okay, okay..."

Otto: "Hey, my dear granddaughter, what brings you to call me today? What? You need funding? Tell me the details..."

Durandal, who was full of enthusiasm, could only stare blankly as Rita and Otto each answered their phone calls and walked away while talking.

"You two answered the same person's call?"

Durandal tilted her head in bewilderment.

In conclusion, Durandal ultimately failed to catch up with Yae Sakura while carrying the rocket.

However, the ultimate rocket vehicle specifically for Durandal was officially approved and entered the design and development phase. But that's a story for another time.

The original Jackal was proficient in Honkai Beast modification technology, or rather, Honkai Energy bio-modification technology, which enabled him to occupy an important chief scientist position in the World Serpent.

Anqi Jackal naturally carried forward and popularized these traditional skills.

As Thousand-Person Ruler, she possesses an absolute advantage in modifying and manipulating Honkai Beast that no genius can match—that is, an innate ability to dominate and fuse with Honkai Beast.

Thus, the World Serpent Squad, led by Raven, had the privilege of witnessing the spectacular sight of their superior waving his fingers with the elegance and grace of a conductor, while giant birds and beasts danced at his fingertips.

"Boom!!!"

The black wings that blotted out the sky flattened the wind and snow, and the hard tentacles wrapped around the iceberg. Amidst the rumbling roar, they finally understood why no giant transport plane accompanied them when transporting the demonic dragon Benales.

The absurd reality of humans commanding the Honkai was a shocking and terrifying experience for these cadres who understood the Honkai.

"... Speaking of which, you already have such a large Honkai Beast, why are we still going to all the trouble of looking for Benales?"

The Raven didn't understand.

She understands that the Venerable Lord needs to replenish his nutrition.

While it might seem incredibly powerful to devour Honkai Beast, it still complies with the law of conservation of energy.

The problem is, Jackal has already created such a large Honkai Beast, why not just put it on Kevin's dinner table? Why go through all that trouble to find Benales, who is managed by Schicksal?

It wasn't slacking off or being dissatisfied because we'd traveled all the way to Siberia for a mission; it was simply curiosity. Yes, just curiosity!

The Jackal turned around and looked at the Raven, whose eyes held a hint of resentment, as if looking at a simple and adorable little idiot.

"The wisdom of mortals."

"Uh, you don't have to explain if you don't want to. Anyway, I don't really care... as long as the year-end bonus is there."

"The birth of Judgment-class Honkai Beast requires special conditions. Current research suggests that only Honkai itself can bestow such special characteristics. The Honkai Beast I created are only large in size; their Honkai Energy intensity and power limit can only be stacked up to the strength of Honkai Emperor. Reaching the Emperor-class Honkai Beast is already extremely rare, and as for the Judgment-class, it is simply impossible to create one at this stage."

"Oh."

The Raven curled its lip, its response sounding somewhat perfunctory.

Just as she said, she was just asking a random question out of boredom. She was only doing this for money and didn't care about anything else.

The Jackal shook his head with a sigh.

"The Honkai doesn't care about your position or choices; it just equally inflicts a devastating disaster on the entire civilization, and no one can stand aside."

"... Doctor, are you lecturing me?"

"Not really. Because the nature of the Stigmata Project is similar, it ignores positions and treats everyone equally. You can think whatever you want, but anyway, you can neither stop the Honkai nor the Serpent's Plan."

The Raven didn't care, but the Jackal showed an even more indifferent attitude.

So, the Raven felt a lump in its throat.

Raven's current wish is to find a secluded island far from society, and live a peaceful and stable life with the children taken in by Changkong City.

However, the Raven understood the Jackal's point perfectly.

Her wish, in essence, was simply an attempt to escape from her own weakness and powerlessness.

But can she really escape the Honkai and the Stigmata Project? Can she really protect those children?

"Null..."

The sensible but sometimes not-so-lovable child, and the other dozen or so orphans in the "nest" who relied on medication to survive, their faces appeared one by one in my mind.

Raven hadn't thought about these helpless problems for a long time.

"That wretched woman has corrupted my Dao Heart."

The Raven muttered softly.

However, once the thought is sparked, it's not so easy to get rid of it.

Gazing at the Jackal's tall yet aloof figure, one sensed the powerful aura of a strong individual, as if any threat could be easily dealt with. In times of need, such a person would undoubtedly be someone to rely on.

So the Raven shuffled closer and said:

"Um, Doctor, I heard you've developed a drug that can eliminate Honkai Sickness?"

"That's true. Based on the finished product from Cocolia's side, it did indeed replicate the medicine that the Previous Civilization dreamed of. However, it is actually based on the Stigmata. By adjusting some functions of the Stigmata genes, it achieves the body's harmless rejection of Honkai Energy. Therefore, it has a miraculous effect on people who can activate the Stigmata, while people who cannot manifest the Stigmata have to use it consistently for a long time in order for it to work."

Seemingly because the topic turned to his profession, Jackal showed some patience, carefully explaining the principles and effects of the drug.

The Raven's eyes lit up.

The reason why the children of "Nest" were able to survive the Great Honkai in Changkong City is because they all activated their Stigmata in the high-concentration Honkai Energy environment, only to varying degrees of completeness.

"What about those who have incomplete Stigmata?"

"Whether it's complete or not is the same. As long as it can trigger the Stigmata, it means that it carries a sufficiently complete Stigmata gene, and the efficacy of the medicine is guaranteed."

"How can I apply for this drug?"

"For your adopted cubs?"

The Jackal turned its head, its golden eyes holding a half-smile, as if a beast had its prey firmly in its grasp.

Raven's heart skipped a beat.

'Oh no, they've found our weakness.'

The Raven knew about the Jackal's peculiar preferences.

Raven herself didn't have that kind of interest; it's just that having witnessed too much of the dark side of society, she wasn't the kind of innocent, naive girl who would feel a strong resistance if necessary. To be honest, if it were in exchange for the medicine to cure those children, offering herself to the Jackal for a quickie wouldn't be entirely unacceptable.

After hesitating for a while, the Raven gradually made up its mind.

"Hey, what's with that stupid look on your face?"

"It's nothing, Doctor. I want to get the medicine that can cure them. What do I need to give in return?"

"What, you think I'd make you sell yourself? I admit you're pretty, but at the end of the day you're just a bunch of carbohydrates and fat. Do you think you're worth that much?"

The Jackal sized up the Raven with its humble smile, as if looking at a fool who didn't know his own limitations, its eyes filled with disbelief that it thought, "How dare you?"

The Raven's smile froze.

The Jackal's smile deepened.

To be honest, Anqi isn't that desperate; she's not some lesbian lecher who sleeps with every guy she meets. The previous relationships were simply a matter of fate, which she naturally pursued. As for Raven, she enjoys admiring and teasing her occasionally for relaxation, but she doesn't have any intention of taking things further.

The Gray Serpent's database is a treasure trove, yielding new surprises every day. It researches how to evolve itself, making it far superior to a mere Raven Incense.

Furthermore, Anqi's feelings aren't cheap; she wouldn't easily give them away to someone. Even though Raven is a popular character with a name in the story.
