Chapter 194
Then, using the Herrscher of Reason's abilities, he constructed a perfect outer garment to conceal his body.
In fact, Welt knew very well why Freya would conduct such a dangerous experiment, without any preparation, and directly try it in a place like Nagoya City.
Since Freya took over as the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal, she has dragged the Schicksal into a period of so-called rapid development.
This has already taken a toll on her mental and physical health, leaving her with very little time to rest each day. Even so, she still wants to pursue a career as a researcher, constantly taking time to study the technology for creating Type-B Valkyrie.
Welt also believed that this technology must be in Freya's hands, so only she could conduct the research independently.
The technology for creating Type-B Valkyrie can be considered the core of the Schicksal and a crucial key to Freya gaining the support of the Valkyrie.
To be realistic, even if Cecilia's reputation can protect Freya, it can't make the Valkyrie follow Freya wholeheartedly. They have no obligation to do that for Freya. However, the Type-B Stigmata technology that Freya introduced can make the Valkyrie follow her wholeheartedly.
However, the Type-B Stigmata created by Freya can only be used to replace the artificial Stigmata used by Schicksal before. Although the Type-B Stigmata greatly enhances combat power, it does not increase the success rate of becoming Valkyrie.
Therefore, Freya needs to spend a lot of time researching and developing the corresponding technologies, such as the Type-B Stigmata and the Type B Valkyrie modification surgery.
Nagoya City was indeed a good experimental site, and Welt understood why Freya was so eager to conduct experiments there.
However, they went all out right from the start, even involving the so-called Honkai Consciousness in the experiment.
Welt didn't even know what to say.
The Humanoid Honkai Beast clearly possesses power no less than that of Herrscher. Before Freya sent the communication, Welt, the First Herrscher Welt, even sensed a Honkai phenomenon similar to the Great Honkai.
"In any case, Your Acting Grand Bishop, the experiments you are conducting are too dangerous. You should first study the technology for creating Type-B Valkyrie."
Welt also understood the benefits of Freya's experiments in Nagoya City.
If Honkai Beast can understand human language and even comprehend human knowledge, then the artificial Honkai Beast and modified Honkai Beast technologies obtained in the battle between Schicksal and Shencheng Medicine could play a significant role.
Furthermore, Shencheng Medicine possesses the technology to transform domesticated animals into Honkai Beast. Although they currently lack the technology to control the transformed Honkai Beast, if the Honkai Beast can understand language, then they can communicate with them and fight alongside Honkai Beast.
Fighting Honkai Beast with Honkai Beast can reduce human casualties in the fight against the Honkai.
Just as Welt was about to throw Freya a piece of clothing, he discovered that she had imitated his earlier actions and used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to construct a garment.
At this moment, the frontline headquarters sent an urgent communication.
Tesla, appearing on the communication screen, asked worriedly, "Welt, are you alright? Uh—"
Then Tesla saw Welt change his clothes, while Freya was quickly putting on a new outfit.
The communication screen then shifted, revealing fragments of clothing at the feet of both individuals.
Even though I know nothing will happen between the two of them, this scene is too easy for people to misunderstand.
Tesla's criticism got stuck in its throat.
(I'm getting married tomorrow, but I have so much to do today!!)
In fact, some of the less-than-ideal high-ranking officials have already launched an attack on the room in the front-line headquarters where the Amber is kept while the Acting Grand Bishop and special advisor are away. Right now, the Grand Bishop's Aide is smashing people with the Eleventh Divine Key.
"Acting Grand Bishop didn't encounter any danger."
"How should I put it? I was almost pinned down and stripped naked."
Freya changed into her new dress and sighed.
To be honest, Freya was increasingly confused about what Humanoid Honkai Beast were and what the purpose of the Honkai Consciousness interference experiment was.
But the experiment she originally wanted to conduct was a complete failure.
But Freya was unable to learn from the failures of such experiments.
Although failure is the mother of success, it skipped the pregnancy process and gave birth to success with a thud, leaving Freya completely baffled as to where the experiment had gone wrong.
If Otto knew about this, he might find it somewhat familiar.
After all, Freya, or K422, also had this eerie feeling about her birth.
As soon as Freya finished speaking, Welt and Tesla almost coughed up blood. Neither of them knew whether Freya's words were intentional or not, but they were too easy for people to misunderstand.
Welt realized his reputation was in danger and instinctively distanced himself from Freya.
He decided that he would definitely apply for a long vacation after getting married.
Then he hurriedly explained what had just happened to Tesla on the communication screen.
At this point, the Humanoid Honkai Beast, having played swimming in zero gravity for a while, had grown tired of the game, but the Humanoid Honkai Beast imbued with zero gravity by Welt could not easily return to the ground.
Because the weightlessness attached to it cancels out the gravity from the ground, it is constantly flying into outer space.
Waaah?
Unable to stop itself from flying higher, the voice of the Humanoid Honkai Beast echoing in Freya and Welt's hearts was filled with unease and anxiety.
"Acting Grand Bishop, what should we do with this Humanoid Honkai Beast?"
Welt, having finished explaining to Tesla who would become his wife the next day, asked...
In a state of weightlessness, one cannot move without external force. The first push that the Humanoid Honkai Beast experiences after entering a state of weightlessness comes from Welt pushing it outward.
At this moment, the Humanoid Honkai Beast continued to move outward along this thrust, getting further and further away from the ground.
Freya frowned; she couldn't leave any room for uncertainty.
Freya agrees with Otto's approach on this point.
Any object that could cause unexpected disruptions or uncertainties to one's plans must be dealt with as soon as possible.
The Humanoid Honkai Beast is a monster born from the Honkai Consciousness interfering with her experiments.
Even though the Humanoid Honkai Beast was not hostile to him, its physical strength made it immune to most energy attacks, and it was beyond his current control.
Even if the other party may have been born based on K422-1's DNA, Freya could not provide any evidence that the other party would not harm humans.
"Continue the exile!"
Freya replied indifferently.
Waaah?
The increasingly unsettling voice echoed in Freya and Welt's minds.
"... Is this a good idea? That Humanoid Honkai Beast seems to be still a child... Perhaps we should give it a chance."
Perhaps because of his experience with the Second Eruption War, Welt began to question his past actions.
To be precise, it was Cecilia's attempt to redeem Sirin's heart that moved Welt...
While everyone else only saw the Second Herrscher who hated humanity, Cecilia saw a girl named Sirin.
As everyone drew their weapons to confront the Second Herrscher, Cecilia reached out and embraced Sirin.
"Mr. Welt, what guarantees that it won't harm humans?"
"... I will take care of getting used to it. The weightlessness enhancement I developed is specifically designed to deal with formidable enemies."
Simply put, I can't beat you, so I've decided to banish you to space.
"..."
Freya fell silent.
She said some unrealistic things, such as believing in K422-1's DNA and that the Humanoid Honkai Beast looked somewhat like her. Although the Humanoid Honkai Beast had no facial features, they had the same white hair as the Kaslana Family.
Although the Deadman also had white hair, Freya was certain that the white hair of the Humanoid Honkai Beast belonged to the Kaslana Family.
Even so, Freya still chose rational thinking over emotion.
"No, this experiment has been interfered with by the Honkai Consciousness. We can't guarantee it won't harm anyone else..."
"Freya, if your sister were to be transformed into the Herrscher of the Void Honkai, would you choose to kill her for the sake of others?"
"How could that be? Nothing is more important Xiao San."
Freya rolled her eyes at Welt.
"... Alright, let's give it a chance."
When the topic turns to Aurora, it becomes impossible to avoid the possibility that Aurora could become the Herrscher of the Void.
In fact, it is very dangerous to remove the Herrscher of the Void core from Aurora's body now. Freya originally wanted to remove the Herrscher Core from Aurora, but had to give up because it was too dangerous. That's why she agreed to Welt's behavior of teaching Aurora to master the Second Herrscher ability.
Otherwise, Freya would have already stripped the Second Herrscher's core; she would rather let her sister be an ordinary Valkyrie.
Faced with Freya's blatant favoritism, Welt was speechless, and thus the matter came to this conclusion.
It was only then that he realized Freya might be planning to let the Humanoid Honkai Beast go, but she lacked a way out... or rather, someone to share the blame with.
"..."
221. Since it already has this function, why call it a supply box?
Welt, realizing he had been tricked, had eyes that looked completely lifeless.
I feel like my Acting Grand Bishop is starting to resemble a certain man more and more.
After Welt released the weightlessness attached to the Humanoid Honkai Beast, the freed Humanoid Honkai Beast whimpered twice and then hid next to the corpse of the giant Rush-class Honkai Beast.
"So, Your Acting Grand Bishop, how should we retrieve it? And what about this group of Deadman?"
Welt stared blankly at the group of Deadman behind Freya.
As a traitorous Herrscher, Honkai Beast and Deadman will regard Welt as an enemy.
But the group of Deadman behind Freya exuded an aura of weakness and helplessness, Welt did not sense any hostility from them.
"... I don't know. At first, I encountered one of the guard Deadman, but I didn't sense any hostility. Then there were more and more Deadman like that. Hmm... When I was controlling the Honkai Energy just now, I should have strengthened them a bit. Could that be the reason they became closer to me?"
During the process of infusing Honkai Energy into the giant Rush-class Honkai Beast, the aftershocks also strengthened nearby Honkai Beast and Deadman.
Honkai Beast and Deadman Knights do not reject Honkai Energy.
They might even be attracted to powerful sources of Honkai.
High concentrations of Honkai Energy naturally attract Honkai Beast. However, Freya's process of forcibly infusing Honkai Energy is different from the normal Great Honkai. The Honkai Energy that Freya forcibly controls is in an unstable state.
For Honkai Beast and Deadman, unstable Honkai Energy cannot be absorbed at all. On the contrary, stable Honkai Energy is generated during the Great Honkai Eruption, which is beneficial for Honkai Beast and Deadman to absorb.
"Even if I'm close to you, you shouldn't be hostile towards me..."
Welt was puzzled; he always felt that this group of Deadman was so special that it must be related to Freya.
Just how many strange things is their Acting Grand Bishop going to create?
The experiment, which was intervened by the Honkai Consciousness, created an extremely powerful Humanoid Honkai Beast. Then, there were twenty-five Guardian Deadman and five Ranger Deadman. Is this a plan to use the Deadman Valkyrie squad?
"Let's send a Floating Battleship over. This matter is indeed complicated. Then, Mr. Welt and I will have to subdue that Humanoid Honkai Beast together. If it shows any signs of attacking humans, kill it immediately—"
After all, the Humanoid Honkai Beast is not Aurora.
At most, they used K422-1's DNA; Freya didn't take them seriously.
In fact, K422-1 has the power to threaten Aurora and Kiana, so rather than killing the Humanoid Honkai Beast for the sake of others, Freya would rather eliminate this uncertain factor to protect Aurora and Kiana.
"...I see."
Freya and Welt reached an agreement, and then contacted the front-line headquarters to send a Floating Battleship to the outskirts of Nagoya City.
After all, Nagoya City is home to a large number of Honkai Beast. Even if a small portion of them were scared away, the number of Honkai Beast in Nagoya City is still astonishing, making it unsuitable for Schicksal's Floating Battleship to approach.
Although Schicksal 'Schicksal Floating Battleship have powerful firepower, their resistance to Floating Battleship Honkai Energy is not high. Therefore, the energy source that powers the Floating Battleship is nuclear energy. On the other hand, Anti-Entropy can mass-produce Týr Alloy, which is resistant to Honkai Energy. So Anti-Entropy's Floating Battleship are directly powered by Honkai Energy.
Although there was technical exchange after the cooperation between the two parties, with Schicksal opening up more advanced technologies for utilizing Honkai Energy to Anti-Entropy and Schicksal obtaining Týr Alloy from Anti-Entropy, the quantity was not large.
Judging from the output of Anti-Entropy, it is unrealistic for Schicksal to use the Týr Alloy provided by Anti-Entropy to create a Floating Battleship. At least it took Anti-Entropy many years to create a Floating Battleship powered by Honkai Energy.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Entropy Floating Battleship is currently sailing over an area with high Honkai Energy. Otherwise, it would be easier to simply summon the Floating Battleship to Nagoya City.
However, whether it's the Floating Battleship Schicksal or Anti-Entropy, they will be attacked as long as they get close to the city where these Honkai Beasts are entrenched.
Therefore, parking in the suburbs is the best choice.
The Humanoid Honkai Beast, terrified by the weightlessness, was like a child who had just slapped an adult across the face. It was hiding there looking aggrieved. If it weren't for the fact that it had no facial features, Freya thought it might be pouting and begging for comfort.
Sob
Frustrated and fearful cries occasionally echoed in Freya and Welt's minds.
"Acting Grand Bishop, this Humanoid Honkai Beast is truly unique... Can it communicate?"
"No, it's still a child and can't understand human language at all. All its actions are accompanied by a childlike, intense curiosity."
Freya did try; she attempted to communicate, but the Humanoid Honkai Beast completely failed to understand.
