Chapter 180
As it turned out, the other party was too greedy, or perhaps they felt that Schicksal really cared too much about their image.
However, just as a large country can act like a bully towards a small country, so too can Schicksal possess the same power and force as a large country.
No, in terms of sheer military force, even a great power cannot directly confront Schicksal.
This is the Invisible Empire that Otto built over hundreds of years, like a snowball rolling downhill.
So Freya let the Valkyrie, who had been cooped up in headquarters for half a year and were almost going crazy, go out and vent their frustrations.
Valkyrie are indeed not good at dealing with human armies. The equipment they use is designed to fight Honkai Beast and Deadman, and more importantly, they have not received training in this area.
However, Freya didn't mind letting them train with these small countries.
In any case, the Valkyrie's physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary humans, while the armies of those small countries are ridiculously weak.
Freya closed her eyes, no longer thinking about those troublesome things, and let Rita undress her.
She felt herself becoming more and more comfortable with this aristocratic lifestyle.
After changing into her nightgown Freya sat on the sofa with several documents in her hands, flipping through them. On the shelf next to her was a beautiful pure white knight's lance.
"Kiana, don't stay up too late, it's bad for your eyes..."
"Really? I see. Let's wait and see... Some ongoing experiments have equipment worth tens of billions. We really can't afford to ignore them. Even Theresa is working hard on them... How can I let my guard down?"
Regardless of the outcome of Theresa's efforts, at least she did try.
However, the main job of the Grand Bishop's assistant is to review, that is, to veto. She herself does not need to think too much. She only needs to understand whether the decisions she, Acting Grand Bishop, promotes are good or bad, and whether they are suitable, and then decide whether to reject them.
Of course, Theresa simplified all the steps and simply stamped it on.
What an enviable, easy job.
However, the positions of Grand Bishop's Aide and Acting Grand Bishop were special roles that were only established after the Grand Bishop. In order to prevent the two from joining forces to usurp the Schicksal, the privileges of the Grand Bishop's Aide conflicted with those of the Acting Grand Bishop.
The Acting Grand Bishop is in power is Grand Bishop's Aide who can veto all policies with a single vote.
However, since Theresa Grand Bishop's Aide, Freya naturally did not encounter any obstacles during her rule.
She was exceptionally good as Grand Bishop's Aide.
At least they won't spout nonsense when they don't understand.
"Kiana, coffee again?"
"No, milk will do tonight."
Freya shook her head. She hoped to get a good night's sleep and, incidentally, invite her runaway older sister to Welt's wedding.
203. Anyway, it's quite common for Valkyrie to be involved in yuri relationships.
After reading the report about the losses caused by the failed experiment, Freya was heartbroken and couldn't breathe.
The experimental equipment worth tens of billions is ruined and there is no possibility of it being repaired and usable. Even if the Schicksal can produce a dozen or more sets of the same equipment, it does not mean that tens of billions of dollars can be wasted.
Even though the Schicksal has never lacked money due to its patents and monopolized technologies, it still needs funding in many areas, and basically invests all its profits in experiments.
Of course, the situation with Anti-Entropy is even more severe, almost to the point where income cannot cover expenditure.
Freya could only postpone the experiment for a while. It was not advisable to restart the experiment until Schicksal had sufficient funds, since it would take a lot of time to prepare a new set of experimental equipment anyway.
The next morning, Freya still felt short of breath.
Moreover, in the consciousness space, he was also furious with the young lady who had run away from home.
Freya originally planned to invite Kiana and Siegfried to Welt's wedding, and then kidnap the runaway girl after the wedding.
However, in the space of consciousness, they could sense some of each other's thoughts. Although it was different from completely reading each other's minds, Freya's schemes did not escape Kiana's notice.
Moreover, Kiana is very busy right now.
She did have Siegfried attend the wedding as her proxy, while on the other hand, her Ice-bound Serpent organization was in contact with Cocolia. Currently, the head of the Ice-bound Serpent was her promoted lieutenant, Shiola, codenamed Raven.
In the organization Ice-bound Serpent, her codename was Frozen Raven.
Kiana used the name of the organization, the Ice-bound Serpent, as her codename.
However, the members chosen by the Ice-bound Serpent still refer to her by the codename "White Serpent".
As the Lord's proxy and the successor of the Serpent, coupled with the gradual improvement in the World Serpent's situation since her ascension, Kiana's prestige is constantly rising.
If she could bring out the traitor Jackal, who led the World Serpent to this predicament, and kill him as a sacrifice, her prestige would completely surpass that of Gray Serpent, one of the World Serpent's top officials.
Just as Freya had previously explained, the key is to form a small organization separate from the World Serpent, acting as its agent in the outside World Serpent, and most importantly, to obtain legitimacy like that of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
In fact, the scope of influence of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy is also limited.
Freya suggested that the Ice-bound Serpent cooperate with nations unaffected by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
The World Serpent possesses a wealth of Previous Civilization scientific research technologies, with its medical technology being its original foundation. Even though Shencheng Medicine has been absorbed by Schicksal and its best researcher, Jackal, is imprisoned in Schicksal Headquarters, the World Serpent's core remains intact.
It doesn't matter if it's revealed that World Serpent is related to Ice-bound Serpent is an organization used to whitewash World Serpent.
The World Serpent has fallen into this predicament not because it is some ancient organization.
There is also an Onmyoji organization in Shenzhou, which is very old to others, but no one pays attention to it.
Under the correct concept of fight against Honkai, even if the World Serpent is extreme, it will not be expelled or attacked by various countries.
All I can say is that Jackal's maneuver was incredibly skillful.
Just as Freya began her investigation, Jackal ordered Shencheng Medicine to release Honkai Beast to fight back.
Well, Shencheng Medicine, which already had some reputational issues, has completely ruined its reputation because of this move, thanks to its anti -Honkai Energy infection drugs.
The World Serpent, which is associated with Shencheng Medicine, has been branded as a terrorist due to the all-out war launched by Shencheng Medicine.
After all, the Jackal had already prepared an excuse for her, so how could Freya not take advantage of her misfortune?
It is for this reason that the World Serpent Organization, which could have obtained the same legitimacy as Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, has become the world's largest terrorist group.
Therefore, the subsequent actions taken by Schicksal against the World Serpent received support from various countries, and World Serpent members within those countries were expelled and attacked.
It's not easy to clear the name of the World Serpent terrorists.
However, the Ice-bound Serpent can use anti- Honkai Energy infection drugs to establish cooperation and gradually clear its name.
Drugs capable of combating Honkai Energy infection are undoubtedly the most valuable resource in the world.
This is also why Shencheng Medicine was able to grow from an ordinary pharmaceutical company to a global scale in just a few years, although it cannot be separated from the support of Schicksal.
After explaining to Kiana, Freya asked her again if she was going home, and was refused again... She was so angry that she grabbed Aurora's face and kept rubbing it.
Let's assume that the three of them use this consciousness space as a useful chat room. In addition to being able to explain their recent situation, the most important thing is that it is safe for the three of them to communicate in this space. Even Otto cannot eavesdrop on what they are discussing.
After completing these tasks, they reported on their respective recent situations as usual.
Kiana naturally had a good impression of her promoted adjutant, Shiola. Siola was said to have originally lived in a village on the Siberian Plains, very close to the main battlefield of the Second Eruption War, a place now completely contaminated by Honkai Energy. She also claimed to have seen countless petals of Holy Lily fluttering in the air—
Although she doesn't have a god's-eye view, Kiana knows that the heroes who stopped the Second Eruption War were her mother and father. After all, Siegfried was right there, so Kiana naturally knew the inside story of the Second Eruption War.
Then he scoffed at the propaganda that Schicksal had been doing for years.
The true heroes were never publicized, and even in the years after she was kidnapped by Otto, Schicksal never promoted Cecilia.
After her sister Freya appeared, Otto started promoting Cecilia as a hero in order to create a better character for her.
As for the Valkyrie of Schicksal, all they know is that Schicksal won the Second Eruption War and that Cecilia perished together with the Second Herrscher, but nothing else.
Although they knew Cecilia was a hero, they didn't know how much Siegfried and the Anti-Entropy organization contributed to the Second Eruption War.
In previous years, the propaganda for Schicksal focused on the Schicksal while downplaying Cecilia's importance.
Later, because of Freya, Cecilia was emphasized, and the Schicksal was described as the best support.
In reality, Otto launched multiple Honkai Energy fission bomb into the main battlefield.
Although the Honkai Energy fission bomb eventually disappeared for some unknown reason, it did not cause too much damage to that land, and the process of Schicksal recovering Cecilia and the Second Herrscher's remains went very smoothly.
However, the Honkai Energy released when the Second Herrscher went out of control severely polluted that land.
Siegfried speculated that Cecilia must have used some kind of power to erase the Honkai Energy, otherwise the Second Herrscher's out-of-control Honkai Energy have radiated across the Siberian Plains and even most of Asia.
Siegfried was unaware of the Holy Blood, but Kiana, as the eldest sister, knew her younger sister's true trump card.
It is called the Schariac Holy Blood, or rather, the new version of Holy Blood that is exclusive to Freya.
Although I have never used Holy Blood to eliminate Honkai Beast, the abilities that come with Holy Blood are practically cheating.
Kiana naturally told Shiola about this.
After learning that Kiana was the daughter of her savior, Shiola pledged complete loyalty to Kiana.
That is, if one day Kiana clashes with the World Serpent, Shiola will stand firmly by Kiana's side.
At the same time, the culprit who indirectly caused the massive casualties was a certain bastard Grand Bishop, who was also the one who stirred up trouble during the Second Eruption War, or rather, who caused the Second Eruption War to continue.
Kiana and Shiola have reached an agreement.
Kiana was naturally very relieved to have the Ice-bound Serpent organization entrusted to Shiola.
While making contact with Cocolia, Shiola also followed Kiana's orders and used the power of the Ice-bound Serpent organization to search for Otto's whereabouts.
However, even a large organization like Schicksal couldn't find Otto, let alone Kiana's newly formed Ice-bound Serpent.
Kiana's current situation is nothing more than slowly clearing her name World Serpent.
As for Freya's current situation, there's not much to say. Anyway, she and Theresa are on TV every day, and the World Serpent hiding in the ruins is very concerned about defeating their Acting Grand Bishop.
But when it was Aurora's turn to talk about her recent situation, Freya and Kiana both looked embarrassed.
Yes, the art style suddenly changed.
Kiana has a bit of an Avenger-like character, reminiscent of the Earl. Now, Kiana has left the 'prison' and is starting to accumulate wealth to take revenge on her enemies.
Freya, of course, is involved in everything, including the founding of the nation of Schicksal. However, in order to make Schicksal stronger, she is currently actively developing scientific research and technology, recruiting a large number of researchers, and enhancing the strength and status of the Valkyrie, somewhat like a lord in a farming novel.
Freya was prepared to make Rita a prime minister after the establishment of the Schicksal, since she was her adjutant and her status would certainly not be low. As for Theresa, she figured she should be some kind of retired emperor.
Aurora's art style is entirely that of a campus romance comedy.
Although Freya and Kiana both wished that Aurora could live a carefree life without any worries.
But their wishes can only be fulfilled in the so-called paradise, yet there is no such paradise in this world.
Moreover, Aurora is the Little Princess of the Anti-Entropy organization, and she will definitely have to take on the responsibility of the Anti-Entropy organization in the future.
The core of the Second Herrscher is also embedded within Aurora's body. Under Welt's guidance, she is now beginning to unleash the power of the Herrscher of the Void, indicating that her carefree days will not last long.
So Freya and Kiana were very pleased to hear that Aurora was doing well.
That being said, Freya and Kiana always felt that their little sister was using her cute appearance and slow-witted personality to flirt with girls everywhere.
Freya began to doubt whether she had assembled Special Class or Aurora's harem.
It's important to know that the members of this Special Class were carefully selected, possessing the potential to be at least a three-star Valkyrie, while Aurora and Mei even have Herrscher Core within them.
It's safe to say that the Valkyrie squad that Aurora assemble in the future will be an absolutely star-studded lineup.
As for how they ended up becoming Aurora's harem, Freya and Kiana couldn't figure it out.
When Freya woke up, she was still angry with Kiana. At least her little sister hadn't done anything to upset her. Harem it is then. Freya thought she might like girls too. After all, it's common for Valkyrie to have yuri relationships.
204. Requires unimaginable courage.
Freya's mood was naturally not good as her older sister, who had run away from home, continued to run away.
Two days later, Freya and Theresa held a political meeting with Shenzhou leaders at the Shenzhou embassy to reassure the public.
The land area of Shenzhou is quite large, Schicksal Headquarters will have to stay in the skies above Shenzhou for at least two days. However, after leaving Shenzhou, it will soon be in the far east.
The manager of the Asian Branch was also present at the meeting.
And brought Freya some regrettable news.
Freya is very interested in the legends of immortals in Shenzhou and the ancient Onmyoji organizations.
However, the Onmyoji organization refused her invitation. Of course, the Onmyoji organization's explanation was that the outside world was under the control of the Schicksal, which was considered to be peaceful and prosperous. At such times, the Onmyoji organization chose to stay out of the world according to its ancestral teachings. If Schicksal fell Anti-Entropy perished, the Onmyoji organization would come out of the mountains to save the day.
Incidentally, the leader of the Onmyoji organization deeply regrets that Otto did not die.
Yes, the Onmyoji of Shenzhou were actually quite unhappy with Schicksal, but they were even more unhappy with Bishop Otto.
The Schicksal has indeed done a great deal of work for the stability of this world. At most, they would wish Otto to die sooner, but they would not disrupt the hard-won peace by going against Otto.
