Chapter 191

It's rare to find a place teeming with lively Honkai Beast and Deadman, and where no one will disturb them. Freya certainly won't let such a rare opportunity slip by.

She glanced at the communicator; it seemed to be malfunctioning due to the effects of Honkai Energy.

The city, which was inhabited by a large number of Honkai Beast, had extremely high Honkai Energy levels; she even saw Honkai Energy Crystal on the streets.

After we recapture Nagoya City, we will definitely send people to collect Honkai Energy Crystal.

Schicksal's communicator was designed to be used in Honkai zone, but the Honkai Energy contained in the city filled with Honkai Beast was too enormous, and the communicator was corroded faster than Freya had imagined.

"Let's just conduct... enhancement experiments first."

It has to be said that Jackal is really useful. Freya wanted to specialize in the Type-B Stigmata, so she got a lot of useful information from Jackal.

As one of the World Serpent's top executives and a leading researcher in the World Serpent, despite her often lackluster performance, her intellect is undeniable.

Jackal, who had been in charge of the Stigmata Project, knew very well what kind of information Freya needed.

They even handed over the technology for modifying Honkai Beast as a bonus.

Honestly, if Freya hadn't been prepared to sacrifice the Jackal to Kiana at any time, she would have already given the Jackal the identity of a high-level researcher from Schicksal.

The Jackal's intellect was enough to make up for her past mistakes.

Or, in other words, it could whitewash the identity of a terrorist.

Freya's main reason for wanting to give Honkai Beastman humanity was that she wanted to see if Honkai Beast with humanity would be willing to follow the consciousness of Honkai.

Whether the Honkai possesses consciousness has been a topic of discussion among many scholars.

After all, the information about the Previous Civilization Schicksal possessed did not mention this matter in detail, but it did state that the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, was an "Anti-Herrscher" created by Honkai in response to the Fusion Warrior.

Freya frequently went to Otto's room to investigate this matter.

If the Honkai truly possesses consciousness, then her wild guesses about an antimatter civilization might be half a mistake.

Regardless of whether antimatter civilization actually exists, the so-called Honkai Civilization must exist and be ruled by Honkai Consciousness.

Of course, whether Honkai Beast with humanity obeys or rebels, it thoroughly proves the existence of Honkai Consciousness.

Unfortunately, Otto did not record the details of the Second Eruption War in the database, nor did he tell anyone about his meeting with the so-called "god".

The Second Herrscher obeyed the Honkai Consciousness and regarded it as a god, had long since perished.

So much so that even though the Schicksal could have known much earlier whether the Honkai possessed consciousness, they are still debating whether the Honkai have consciousness.

Most scholars believe that Honkai is merely a periodic natural disaster, simply linked to human civilization; natural disasters have no self-awareness.

This is as ridiculous as hurricanes, typhoons, and tsunamis having self-awareness and dancing on graves.

Of course, while they didn't find any important documents in Otto's room, they did find several wardrobes Otto of women's clothing.

That night, Freya still had nightmares even while holding Rita.

Freya always felt no hostility towards Otto, whom she considered a great enemy, when he wasn't dressed in women's clothing. When Otto approached her while calling himself "Mom," she surprisingly hugged Rita tightly after waking up the next day. After that, she went to Otto's room less often.

Freya had already chosen a Honkai Beast.

Or rather, she set her sights on the giant Rush-class Honkai Beast that she had noticed before.

Honkai Beast exceeding twenty meters in size are rare in this city. Although Freya also saw Emperor-class Honkai Beast and several Emperor Honkai in the city, what truly piqued Freya's interest were the colossal Honkai Beast.

It's anyone's guess what interesting changes this Rush-class Honkai Beast will undergo after absorbing a large amount of Honkai Energy.

Meanwhile, the number of Deadman behind Freya had increased by fifteen. They stood obediently behind Freya, occasionally sniffing Freya.

But they were corpses, Deadman, and their so-called noses were just for show. Freya glared at them with a face full of black lines.

217. This is troublesome, I might not be able to beat them.

Freya didn't know why she was liked by the Deadman.

Freya's lips twitched slightly as she watched the sixteen guards behind Deadman blinking like curious children.

I only paused for a moment, and there was one more!

Freya felt like she could assemble a Deadman squad herself.

"Forget it, let's gather Honkai Energy strengthen this giant mosquito first."

While forming a squad of Deadman might sound interesting, these Deadman follow you around purely out of some unknown instinct. These Deadman won't attack you, but that doesn't mean they won't attack other humans.

Freya turned on her communicator, preparing to block the alarm in Nagoya City.

To avoid increasing the Honkai Energy concentration during the experiment and causing unnecessary reactions... Freya didn't want Rita, Welt, and the others to be alarmed.

After using her authority Acting Grand Bishop to disable the alarms in the Nagoya City area, Freya naturally noticed the message Rita reported to her.

"Sister Amber ...that bastard bishop..."

Freya's expression was naturally not pleasant after Rita reported that Amber, who had brought a new student to the St. Freya Academy, was suspected of being abandoned by Bishop Otto.

She naturally realized that Otto wanted to cause them some trouble.

But Freya herself doesn't dislike Amber.

Even from the time she became aware of her existence, Amber often acted as a teacher, only later changing to a different professional teacher.

"Even if he wanted to cause us trouble, he shouldn't have abandoned Sister Amber. That bastard... tsk, could it be that his resurrection technology has made new progress?"

Freya seriously considered the possibility of her guess.

Then I realized that my guess might be correct.

"Hmph, you don't want Sister Amber, but I don't mind taking her. Rita, help me raise Sister Amber's authority and make her Theresa's adjutant."

"Grown ups?"

After Freya connected to Rita's communicator, Rita, who was about to make contact with Amber, was a little stunned when she saw the image that suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Rita, who quickly came to her senses, hurriedly said...

"My lord, you'd better come back quickly. Lord Welt and Lady Theresa are very angry about your unauthorized actions..."

"... Do you think I'd go back while they're still angry? Go ahead and get even angrier if you dare."

Freya pursed her lips and then repeated her previous request.

Upon hearing Freya's plan to appoint Amber as Theresa's adjutant, Rita said in surprise, "My lady, doing so would expose that Lord Amber has lost the protection of Bishop Otto..."

"... Never mind that bastard bishop. Do you think I'm afraid of this? The main problem is that my deterrent power isn't strong enough, is it? In a month, the combination of the new Titan mech and the Type-B Valkyrie will be enough to keep the villains in check."

"Sir... the problem isn't just these."

"It's simply that the higher-ups of Schicksal and the Senate will definitely target Sister Amber, or that Anti-Entropy, which cooperates with Schicksal, can hardly guarantee control over greed. In the end, it's just that my deterrent power is still not as strong as Otto's."

Freya shrugged. Her youthful appearance still lacked intimidation, a problem that could be solved in ten years. What truly made her inferior to Otto was her willingness to show mercy when she struck.

Freya subjected even the Senate, which had committed numerous crimes, or the researchers she deeply despised to cruel punishments, but her punishments did not take anyone's life.

Freya destroyed 90% of the Senate's assets, but the senators themselves were completely unharmed.

Freya did threaten the elders with death, but none of the elders who obediently gave in encountered any strange accidents.

Although Freya had sentenced the researchers to death in her heart, she still gave them a chance to live, allowing them to use each other's bodies for experiments. As long as they could produce results, they could return to the research field.

Otto should handle this group.

Half of the seats in the Senate will be empty on the second day.

The so-called researchers have no chance to return to the research field; Otto will kill anyone he wants to kill.

Ultimately, Freya lacks coldness and ruthlessness.

Just as the best way for her to deal with the Amber was to lock Amber up herself, squeeze out all its value, and then dispose of it.

"Handle it as I request."

"Yes, sir."

Rita, on the other end of the communication screen, said nothing more.

After ending the communication, Freya prepared to begin her experiment.

Of course, she didn't care about Otto's purpose in doing this; it was simply to experiment with new resurrection technology, so she decided to create some trouble for Schicksal to distract them.

Perhaps even the new life brought by Amber is just a target to attract attention.

Freya thought that Otto really wanted to arrange for someone to infiltrate St. Freya Academy, it would definitely be a freshman who was admitted through normal means.

"Sister Amber might be a target for others to draw attention to, but she's useless to me, unless Otto just wants me to protect Sister Amber... I don't think so. Would that heartless person be so nice to Sister Amber? Kallen is his only steadfast support. I guess I'm overthinking it."

She shook her head, clearing her mind of the chaotic thoughts, raised her right hand to gather Honkai Energy within a five-kilometer radius, and pulled a syringe from her pocket.

Freya, who had already conducted such experiments in Nagoya City, prepared a sample of human DNA.

Just as humans inject Honkai DNA and Honkai Energy into themselves, Freya intends to reverse this process and inject human DNA into the bodies of Honkai Beast.

However, the DNA of ordinary humans simply cannot bring about any changes to Honkai Beast.

The Honkai Beast in Nagoya City noticed the Honkai Energy gathering towards the city center. As the Honkai Energy accumulated above the city, forming a black smoke that blotted out the sky, the Honkai Beast, with their heads raised, let out uneasy cries.

Driven by their instinct to seek refuge, the weak Honkai Beast moved away from the center of Nagoya City.

Sixteen guardian Deadman and one ranger Deadman looked up at the Honkai Energy gathering in the sky, forming the eye of a typhoon that resembled an impending storm.

The giant Rush-class Honkai Beast, unaware that it had been chosen as a target, was also awakened by the commotion.

Freya had already completed the injection. As long as there was no hostility, she wouldn't suffer any retaliation from the Honkai Beast even if she gave them an injection.

The thunder seemed to echo within the Honkai Energy had transformed into black clouds, completely blocking the light and heat emanating from the still-setting sun.

Roar--!

Sensing danger, the giant Rush-class Honkai Beast began to charge left and right.

In front of its colossal form, which is over twenty meters tall, the long-abandoned building was easily knocked down, raising countless rubble and dust.

As Freya watched the building, Honkai Energy, crumble like a fragile puffed cookie after being rammed by Honkai Beast, an excited smile appeared on her face.

This giant Rush-class Honkai Beast is powerful enough.

It should be noted that the Honkai Beast she selected in her previous failed experiments were just ordinary Honkai Beast.

As the Rush-class Honkai Beast rampaged, the Honkai Beast in Nagoya City began to flee in all directions. A large patch of dark clouds, accompanied by thunderous roars, was descending continuously. Even the Honkai Beast, faced with this scene that seemed as if the sky was about to collapse, were driven by their wild instincts to choose to escape Nagoya City.

Freya frowned; letting the Honkai Beast escape was not her goal.

She pointed at the giant Rush-class Honkai Beast that was trying to escape.

"Fall down—"

A deafening roar descended from the sky, but Freya ignored the trembling Deadman behind her and focused her gaze on the falling Honkai Energy.

The slowly rotating, massive black cloud, like a funnel, injected a large amount of Honkai Energy into the giant, Rush-class Honkai Beast.

Roar--!

The Great Honkai Beast, bathed in Honkai Energy, roared in agony.

The Honkai Energy falling on you felt like a waterfall cascading down, constantly washing over your body.

Boom!!

The sound, like a thunderstorm, once again startled the Honkai Beast, causing them to scatter in all directions.

The giant Rush-class Honkai Beast wanted to escape the terrifying Honkai Energy. Its body had already been infused with the Honkai Energy of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, yet the Honkai Energy continued to pour into its body.

Its sturdy outer shell is covered with cracks, like fragile porcelain, which would shatter completely with the slightest touch.

With its massive wings shattered and sensing its life drawing to a close, the colossal, powerless Rush-class Honkai Beast to the ground, howling in agony.

Although she successfully helped the opponent break through to the Emperor Honkai, Freya was not satisfied with this result.

However, it's much better than the previous experiments. After all, the previous experiment only destroyed the laboratory by creating the Emperor Honkai. However, the way the laboratory injects Honkai Energy is very different from Freya's method of directly controlling the injection of Honkai Energy.

As Schariac's Stigmata increased with her power, the precision of her Honkai Energy manipulation was increased several times over.

"Only at the level of Emperor-class Honkai Beast..."

For Freya now, even Emperor-class Honkai Beast is a piece of cake, easily defeated with a single punch.

Even Siegfried could handle an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

"Did it fail?"

Just as Freya thought so, a banshee's wail rang out from the Great Honkai Beast whose life force was gradually waning.
