Chapter 173
Freya's Blood Knight, Moonbeam, is also stored here.
The armor related to the Honkai crystal Inlay Technology is the prototype of the Fourth Generation Armor, and also the "Key of Blankness," an unofficial Divine Key from the Previous Civilization era.
According to the database, the Key of Blankness God-Slaying Armor can directly equip the Herrscher's core, thus allowing the user to gain the same power as the Herrscher.
Currently, the Schicksal possesses the Gem of Calamity for the Herrscher of Flames, the Gem of Serenity for the Herrscher of Death, and the Gem of Desire for the Herrscher of Wind.
Freya was curious about what would happen if she placed the Herrscher Core on the Key of Blankness.
Mikoyan's Honkai crystal Inlay Technology is a degraded version of the Key of Blankness equipped with the Herrscher Core technology.
However, Mikoyan's method of using Honkai crystal is quite interesting.
So-called Honkai crystal usually appear in lands heavily polluted by Honkai, such as lands occupied by a large number of Honkai Beast, or places where Great Honkai occurs... For example, the Siberian Plains, the main battlefield of the Second Eruption War, contains many Honkai crystal, or rather, crystal mines formed by Honkai.
The researchers Freya threw into Siberia weren't there to dig potatoes; they were also there to work as miners, excavating these Honkai crystal.
Honkai crystal are a type of solid Honkai Energy and one of the resources required by Schicksal.
Although the Honkai brought about a series of tragedies, it also brought new energy sources, propelling the rapid development of civilization.
After the researchers from Anti-Entropy and Schicksal analyzed the Honkai crystal Inlay Technology and installed Mikoyan's heavy firepower equipment onto the Titan Mech.
Anti-Entropy and Schicksal created the Type 1 multi-turret Titan Mech and the Type 2 large-caliber cannon Titan Mech. Ten prototypes of each model were produced. These new Titans can be piloted by Valkyrie. Through the Valkyrie's control, the Honkai Beast' influence on the Honkai Energy inside the mechs can be prevented from happening again.
The battlefield for testing the Type 1 and Type 2 Titan Mech will be Nagoya City, the target of the large-scale cleanup operation a month later. The large number of Honkai Beast entrenched in the city are the perfect opponents.
But before that, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy had to deal with Welt and Tesla's wedding.
This matter is clearly of paramount importance.
The wedding venue was the Cathedral of the Dogma District was still preserved in the former Far East Branch Schicksal and is now the Frontline Headquarters of the Schicksal Anti-Entropy Union.
As for Tesla's wedding attire, the wedding dress faction ultimately prevailed.
However, when news of Welt's marriage spread again, some of the single Valkyrie, who were already heartbroken, cried their eyes out once more.
After all, someone like Welt is handsome, has a good personality, and holds a very high position, serving as the Acting Grand Bishop's special advisor, a position similar to a teacher.
How could the Valkyrie not be tempted by this?
Becoming a teacher's wife is the same as becoming a mother.
The Valkyrie's appeal to some Mom fan is immense.
Many of the invited Valkyrie have already gone to the front lines of the Schicksal Anti-Entropy Alliance. Whether they are participating in the subsequent large-scale cleanup operation or establishing a new Schicksal Headquarters in the Far East, they will be staying in the Far East for a long time in the future.
"Rita, where's my dress?"
"Kiana, I'm here."
Upon hearing Freya's question, Rita, who was putting on stockings, quickly took out a new dress from the wardrobe next to her. She was going to meet with the leader of a certain country again today, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, the Nine Floating Islands of the Schicksal Headquarters passed over the other country's territory. In order to avoid diplomatic problems, even though she had given advance notice several months ago, she still had to meet and negotiate.
Welt could have met with the leader on his behalf.
But this guy has already taken his wedding leave and is happily preparing for his wedding with Tesla in the Far East. It's not that the two of them don't trust Ryoma; Ryoma is a stable man who has been married before. The wedding he gave Mei's mother was very grand. Welt and Tesla simply want to skip work...
This forced Freya and Theresa to stay at the Schicksal Headquarters.
Or rather, they moved with the Schicksal Headquarters... taking advantage of this opportunity to migrate, many Valkyrie simply waited for the Schicksal Headquarters to arrive in the Far East.
"... Isn't this one a bit too flashy?"
Freya looked at the dress Rita had given her; it had too many ruffles and didn't give her a very dignified look.
"I think it's cute..."
"Rita, I'm meeting with the leader next. What's the use of dressing cutely? I need to project authority..."
Freya rolled her eyes.
"But I think dressing cutely is also an advantage; being small can be a form of protection."
"... That's the usual situation. If I were a weak little lion, I might be able to lower the enemy's guard by pretending to be a kitten. But how can I, a young dragon who can shoot fire with my claws, pretend to be a lizard?"
Various countries have long listed her as one of the most vigilant individuals, and even Freya's head has been offered for a reward of tens of millions of dollars by organizations similar to the dark web.
Freya abandoned weakness long after Kiana chose to leave.
"Besides, do they even deserve it?"
With the power Schicksal now, does it still need to act cute and weak?
The Senate, which was able to hold back the Mandate of Schicksal, would not be able to recover for several years. Freya even selected some suitable people from the candidates and trained them into her own direct secret force.
Of course, Otto's training methods can be learned from, but Freya will not go to such extremes as he did.
Moreover, there are many suitable candidates. Schicksal has saved many survivors who were fought over by various countries and snatched up by the World Serpent after the disaster.
Freya placed younger children, or those who had not suffered much persecution, into the Cocolia Orphanage. However, Freya reached out to older girls who had been persecuted, and in that hand she held a bloodstained, sharp dagger.
If the Merciful Saintess represents Freya's friendliness and gentleness towards the Valkyrie...
Faced with this group of persecuted girls filled with resentment, Freya secretly placed them in a sanatorium and taught them the power of revenge—
In their hearts, Freya was not a Saintess, but their Goddess of Vengeance.
Freya never told anyone about this secret unit that was being trained. Even the sanatorium was actually Jackal's property, but Freya had handled it several times before transferring it to the false identity she had created.
As time went on, she accumulated more and more secrets.
More and more arrangements are being made that are not suitable for telling Theresa or for upright people like Welt to know.
Freya sometimes understands Otto's perspective very well.
Although she was fight against Honkai, the real obstacle in her path was humanity itself. Sometimes she really didn't want to spend time on this, but she had no choice but to invest her time in it.
After the House Cavendish withdrew from the Senate, the Human Alliance, which was on the verge of dissolution, was taken over by the remaining council members.
Unbeknownst to them, the actions of the successor Human Alliance exposed their identities and allowed Freya to investigate the power of these council representatives.
Of course, this was not unexpected for Freya.
It's not a recent development that several major powers have coveted the technologies of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
Therefore, Freya did not travel over major countries this time when she moved the Schicksal Headquarters. Of course, not all major countries are like that. For example, Shenzhou is happy to pass through, and the Valkyrie of the Asian Branch are more united than those of other branches.
Because the Asian Branch oversees a vast area, the number of Valkyrie belonging to the Asian Branch is the smallest in the Schicksal Headquarters. Recently, it has been rumored that they have a new plan with the local Onmyoji organization.
It seems they have found the ruins of Previous Civilization, which is said to be related to the legend of the Emperor Xuanyuan. They believe that the Emperor Xuanyuan's sword was a weapon from Previous Civilization similar to the Divine Key.
After all, the Previous Civilization unearthed from the ruins not only include the Divine Key, but also Honkai Energy weapons that are known as relics. Of course, the weapons from the Previous Civilization are much more stable than modern Honkai Energy weapons.
Even if they've been in the ruins for tens of thousands of years, the artifacts or Divine Key that are unearthed can be put into battle as long as they are properly maintained.
When talking about the Emperor Xuanyuan, one cannot help but mention the Xuanyuan Sword. The Schicksal once obtained several Golden Swords, or rather, Xuanyuan Sword, from other ruins. However, as Divine Key, those weapons, which were clearly mass-produced, were not very powerful, at least not as strong as other Divine Key.
According to the database, the Xuanyuan Sword should be the Tenth Divine Key, but it is only one of them. There should be a thousand Tenth Divine Key. However, the Ruoshui used by the A-rank Valkyrie of the Snow Wolf Squad is also the Tenth Divine Key... However, this Divine Key is broken and cannot be repaired.
Freya was very interested in the ruins, but since the ruins had only just been excavated, the Asian Branch planned to form an exploration team first. The Schicksal Headquarters did not intend to interfere with the Asian Branch's actions, but the Previous Civilization artifacts and scientific and technological research and development technology excavated from the ruins would be handed over to Schicksal.
In fact, when the Asian Branch conducts its first exploration, the Schicksal Headquarters should be passing over Shenzhou. Freya felt that she should be able to sneak over and participate in the 'archaeology'.
195. You really know how to pay attention to local things.
Putting aside the relics of the Emperor Xuanyuan for now, Freya changed into a more mature and dignified dress before meeting with the national leader who was about to pass through the Floating Island of the Schicksal Headquarters.
Meanwhile, the Cathedral of the Dogma District of the Schicksal -Anti-Entropy Alliance headquarters in the Far East has been transformed into an extremely grand wedding venue thanks to the efforts of Ryoma and other Anti-Entropy members.
Although there was some confusion beforehand about whether to have a Western-style wedding or an Eastern-style wedding, the winner was ultimately decided by the wedding dress for the Western-style wedding.
Having been persuaded by her second sister, Aurora's eyes were shining as she stared at the classic white wedding dress designed by a world-renowned fashion designer.
Incidentally, this top fashion designer belongs to Schicksal.
"Sister Tesla's wedding dress is so beautiful..."
Aurora exclaim in admiration.
Mei, Iserin, and a black-haired girl next to her nodded in agreement.
Although the two women besides Iserin are from the Far East and prefer the local Far East wedding dress, the Shiromuku, as young girls, they were more or less captivated by this extremely beautiful wedding dress.
They all pictured themselves in Shiromuku and white wedding dresses.
Of course, in their fantasy, the person standing next to them was not a handsome man in a white suit, but Aurora in different styles of white wedding dresses.
"But won't it be difficult to drive with such a long tail?"
The black-haired girl, exuding a lazy aura, tilted her head and asked.
"My dad told me that he would hire professional flower girls to pull the train of the wedding dress. I remember that we could ask the children of relatives and friends to play the roles."
Mei replied that her father was the main person in charge of the wedding, which was why she knew the wedding process.
"That's great, I want to help Sister Tesla pull her wedding dress."
Aurora looked on with envy.
Mei and Iserin quickly said in unison.
"I'll go talk to Dad (Mr. Ryoma) about it!!" ×2
As soon as she finished speaking, Mei and Iserin glared at each other.
After the two finished speaking, the black-haired girl said in a soft voice, "Flower girls are usually four or five years old... Aurora doesn't meet the standard, and besides, wearing a wedding dress with such a long train would be troublesome even with flower girls..."
"Huohuo, you're just too lazy."
Mei couldn't help but comment.
"You'll get fat..."
The black-haired girl clearly didn't want to hear such honest feedback, and even the lollipop she was talking about suddenly didn't taste so sweet anymore.
With her pair of ruby-red eyes, the Wuse Hui Huo is naturally Aurora's new friend. She has an exquisite face like an Eastern doll and long black hair that reaches her calves, perfectly fitting the image of a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair.
In the so-called consciousness space chat room that night, Aurora naturally showed off to her two older sisters.
This 10-year-old girl, named Wuse Hui Huo, was born into an ancient family in the Far East.
They were once a renowned exorcising family in Shinano, but declined due to a calamity known as Honkai and were gradually forgotten.
It wasn't until later, through the discovery of the Schicksal, that they were able to recover, belong to the Schicksal, and change their surname to 'Colorless'.
The 'Colorless' family thus bears an important mission: to stand in the shadow of human civilization to fight against the Honkai, to become a pawn of Schicksal, and to continuously provide Valkyrie candidate for it. Their value lies solely in eliminating the Honkai, without leaving any trace of themselves.
Although she hasn't turned 10 yet, Wuse Hui Huo, as Valkyrie candidate, has been recommended to the Schicksal Headquarters by the Wuse Family...
However, the Schicksal Headquarters will be relocated to the Far East this year.
The Far East Branch Schicksal has now become the front-line headquarters of the Schicksal Anti-Entropy Union.
Confused, the Wuse Family had no choice but to send Wuse Hui Huo to St. Freya Elementary School. Although the school was not yet completed, St. Freya Academy itself had many empty classrooms. In addition, there were some problems with the recruitment last year and this year, so the affiliated elementary school and affiliated middle school temporarily shared a teaching building.
In the newly formed class, Aurora made friends with the Wuse Hui Huo using delicious donuts.
The Wuse Family was originally a family of demon exorcists, which is similar to a family of Miko. In ancient times, Miko were like Valkyrie of Schicksal. Without artificial Stigmata, these girls who naturally possessed the Honkai Energy manipulation had the power to fight against Yokai, or Honkai Beast.
Although Wuse Hui Huo does not possess a high level of Honkai Energy, her Honkai Energy control is almost at the level of Schariac Saintess.
Of course, the power of the Schariac Family's Bloodline Power is not simply the ability to manipulate Honkai Energy.
The Wuse Family is very strict in educating their children, especially girls with the talent of Miko, to the point of almost prohibiting all desires.
When Aurora and the others first saw the Wuse Hui Huo, they thought she was an exquisite Far Eastern doll.
Aurora's protective instincts were triggered by his overly indifferent or desireless expression.
Aurora put in a lot of effort and finally used sweets to give a doll emotions. Since then, Aurora has often given Wuse Hui Huo snacks and donuts, and Wuse Hui Huo has become Aurora's little follower.
As for the Wuse Family, the entire family was in chaos because they couldn't contact Otto.
"..."
Mei's words sounded somewhat sarcastic and harsh. For a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair who loves sweets and enjoys a lazy life, such realistic words were like a cruel stepmother making Cinderella clean a toilet that hadn't been cleaned for ten days.
The black-haired girl licked her lollipop, pretending not to hear Mei's words.
That's terrifying! People can actually get fat!
Let's invite Aurora.
"Huohuo, it's no use pretending you can't hear me. You'll still get fat."
Mei said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
