Chapter 205

At this moment, Raiden Ryoma, who had run backstage, brought up the big screen. He had spent a lot of money to renovate the cathedral inside and out, so much so that the cathedral was now only missing a transformation function.

Of course, with the world's leading Anti-Entropy technology, it is not difficult to transform the cathedral into a giant humanoid robot.

After bringing up the big screen, I watched the members who had been following Otto throughout the wedding and finally saw Welt and Tesla exchanging vows, a process filled with innocence and youthful naiveté.

For Welt and Tesla, it was practically a public execution.

In a way, this wedding is destined to be unforgettable.

"Stop it!!!"

"Stop it, Ryoma!"

At that moment, Welt and Tesla wished they could pin Ryoma to the ground and beat him up. Tesla even wanted to take out his electromagnetic automatic rifle and ask Ryoma to dance.

Although it was Freya's second time watching it, she still thoroughly enjoyed it.

No, the two were on stage at the time, but due to the angle, it was impossible to see what their expressions were like. However, the image shown on the big screen was their faces.

Their tense, huddled-together expressions made most of the people burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Welt, look at you, hahaha..."

"Hahaha, cough cough, no, my stomach hurts so much... Hahahaha, Mr. Welt, you're pouting too high."

"Tesla's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, hahaha, so cute, pfft hahaha..."

The founders of Anti-Entropy naturally wouldn't give Welt and Tesla any face.

The executors who have joined Anti-Entropy in the last decade have a good impression of Tesla, which lacks authority. In particular, the female executors have often drunk and raced with Tesla, so they naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to tease Tesla.

The cathedral was filled with laughter and merriment, though for Welt and Tesla it was a public execution.

This kiss was several years overdue for both Welt and Tesla...

Everyone sincerely wished that the two could be together.

The more familiar people are with the two of them, the more they understand how difficult it was for them to come together.

One is a guardian who gave up everything for this world, and the other is a supporter who gave up happiness to support the guardian's decision.

Almost everyone thought the two would stay like this forever.

After all, Welt, who had even faced life and death, still didn't confess his feelings to Tesla.

According to a girl who claims to be an 'observer', Welt and Tesla danced together on the eve of the final battle of the Second Eruption War.

The morale of the executors, which was low due to the end of the Second Eruption War, was so high that they wanted to gossip about the progress of the two, but... Mao made no progress at all.

Normally, their child should be seven years old by now.

Although Welt's pouting wasn't very attractive, and Tesla's shy and innocent demeanor was quite rare, everyone applauded them.

After Otto left, the atmosphere immediately felt less oppressive.

Otto was clearly putting a lot of pressure on people; even though he did nothing, no one dared to relax.

In the last row, Aurora, sitting between Mei and Iserin, clapped enthusiastically, offering her blessings to her adoptive parents.

Cocolia looked at the image displayed on the big screen. The split screen showed the faces of Welt and Tesla. Although the camera angle did not show their full faces, it captured their expressions. She felt that Raiden Ryoma was definitely doing it on purpose.

In fact, Ryoma did it on purpose.

After completing his tasks backstage, he slipped away and went directly to the meeting place outside the cathedral to meet with the other guests. At least in this square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, he didn't have to worry about being found by Welt and Tesla.

Freya almost laughed until she cried. She leaned against Rita, surprised that Ryoma had played a prank on the two of them.

Normally, Ryoma wouldn't do something like this; he's a very serious person. But how should I put it? Learning to be good takes a lifetime, while learning to be bad only takes three days.

Raiden Ryoma was clearly greatly influenced by Siegfried, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing.

The victims of the prank were furious and rushed backstage, but Ryoma had already run away, wouldn't give them the chance.

On the contrary, the staff inside raised their hands in a gesture of surrender when faced with the fierce-looking Welt and Tesla. Of course, several staff members quickly broke down in laughter.

After the laughter and merriment, the newlyweds meet all the guests and receive their blessings.

Welt glared at his unscrupulous companions, especially at Siegfried, as he led Tesla by the hand toward the cathedral.

While not every executor harbors deep resentment, such irreverence is definitely Siegfried's fault!

236. Are all the Valkyrie of Schicksal this terrifying?

Welt and Tesla walked out of the cathedral to receive blessings from all the guests.

The fact that the elderly couple had finally come together moved the equally aged members of the Anti-Entropy deeply, and they offered their blessings to the couple endlessly.

Freya left directly from another entrance/exit.

She left her adjutant at the wedding venue, naturally not intending to attend the latter part of the ceremony.

The Schicksal still has many things that require her personal attention.

Otto's invitation to the wedding was a shock to others, but it meant something else entirely to her.

Welt, Tesla, and Theresa only knew that after Freya removed the researchers who were illegally using live subjects for experiments, she improved the treatment of the remaining researchers in order to win them over, and even doubled the research funding for various experiments.

Welt and the others were unaware that Freya was secretly supporting Otto's experiments.

Otto's attendance at the wedding indicates that his experiment has truly reached a crucial stage.

"If it succeeds, that would be great... It could truly bring the dead back to life, which would be beneficial for the future battle against the Honkai."

Freya never regarded any scientific or technological research as an evil product.

Ultimately, most scientific research and technologies are neither good nor evil in themselves, and it is incorrect to define technology by good and evil.

The reason why certain scientific and technological research becomes dangerous and taboo is ultimately the abuse of that technology by people who can be defined by good and evil.

If resurrection technology is used well, it can greatly reduce the number of casualties in battles against the Honkai.

Have you heard of this game?

Do you know about the Fourth Calamity?

Isn't it because they can keep resurrecting and are fearless in causing trouble?

Although Freya had promised Cecilia not to resurrect herself, she had not promised herself not to research resurrection technology.

In fact, if such technology could truly bring important people back to life, it would bring about a complete transformation of this era.

However, Freya also had her concerns.

She could tell from Otto's attitude that the experiment had reached a critical stage, but what if the experiment failed?

Will Otto, who could have been the strongest ally, lose his mind because of this defeat?

Freya sighed softly—if the experiment fails, the possibility of Otto's mental breakdown cannot be ruled out.

"If we fail, we don't know what will happen."

Freya believes in taking preventative measures.

To be honest, Freya couldn't imagine what Otto would do if this experiment failed.

Only Otto himself could truly understand the depth of his 500-year-old obsession.

Many people who climb to the top of Schicksal's ranks question Otto's actions, but they have never considered things from Otto's perspective.

If the so-called Schicksal hadn't been trying to revive Kallen, Otto would never have developed it to its current state.

Otto gave those people the opportunity to become high-ranking officials, but if he really wanted to suppress them, he had many other ways to do so.

However, many times, he wished those people could be more calm.

Since Otto considered those who could climb to the top of the Schicksal's system to be rare talents.

Unfortunately, once everyone reached the top, their own ideologies clashed with those of the Schicksal.

Those people only saw their own ideals, but never thought about why the Schicksal existed.

They couldn't understand the despair in his heart, nor could they understand the suffocating pain of wanting to tear himself apart.

Otto believes that everyone in the world hates Schicksal.

Perhaps his own approach is incompatible with Kallen's ideals, but the Schicksal itself is not suitable to be the breeding ground for Kallen's ideals.

Kallen, who believed in justice, truth, goodness, and beauty, became the strongest warrior in an organization that least believed in justice, truth, goodness, and beauty, which was the beginning of a tragedy.

Freya was in Otto's room, looking through Otto's diary... of course, it was something Otto had deliberately left for her.

That's why she realized that no one in the world could morally condemn Otto.

Because he could have completely ignored the Honkai and developed Schicksal into a dictatorial armed group of his own.

However, he is still influenced by Kallen to this day.

Willing to cultivate guardians to protect this world.

Although the Schicksal's system has problems, it also provides enough channels for advancement. On the contrary, the Senate and the higher-ups, in order to avoid sharing power, frantically suppress those who are capable.

Those people held Otto responsible for this.

That being said, Otto is not without fault. Even if he cannot be morally condemned, Otto has developed the Schicksal to its current state and has indeed shown no mercy to anyone who might hinder his experimental plans.

Otto was able to ruthlessly kill Welt Joyce, whom he considered the best candidate for Grand Bishop.

He could also pierce the chest of rare geniuses like Einstein and Tesla, who might only appear once every few centuries, without hesitation, with the Black Abyss Spear.

All of this was for the purpose of reviving Kallen.

Only Otto himself knew his pain, and only he himself knew Otto despair.

Freya rubbed her throbbing temples. She realized that in this world, human obsessions seemed to be more terrifying than natural disasters.

"In any case, we should prepare as soon as possible and conduct experiments on Judah as soon as possible..."

Although Freya did not believe in God, at this moment, she wanted to offer a sincere prayer to God, hoping that the consciousness of Kallen Kaslana truly existed in the Eleventh Divine Key.

It's important to understand that while Otto is currently acting erratically, he hasn't lost his mind.

Otto who is rational is difficult to deal with, but Otto loses his rationality is absolutely more terrifying.

Freya quickened her pace and moved towards the Floating Island of the Schicksal Headquarters.

Siegfried was puzzled to find that Freya hadn't arrived at the wedding venue outside the cathedral, but he still went with Theresa to the venue that had been set up outside the cathedral.

After finding his location by name, Siegfried couldn't resist the urge to crack a peanut.

"Rita, why isn't Kiana here?"

Theresa was quite frustrated. She felt as if she had been forgotten and had no presence. Her grandfather only cared about his second granddaughter and completely abandoned her, his eldest granddaughter.

No one else has gone to such lengths for their granddaughter.

"Lady Theresa, the Acting Grand Bishop has returned to headquarters ahead of time."

Rita didn't sit in her own seat, but instead sat in Freya's seat.

She was, after all, an adjutant, and Freya's adjutant, so Raiden Ryoma would naturally prepare a seat for her as well.

Ryoma just didn't expect Freya to leave halfway through.

Ryoma had originally planned to have Freya speak on stage during the latter part of the wedding, with Rita replacing Freya. However, seeing the current situation, he had no choice but to cancel the event.

"You've already returned to headquarters? Do you need any help?"

Theresa asked kindly.

However, Rita thought for a moment and shook her head.

Then he looked at Amber, who was waking up next to him.

In fact, no one expected that Otto would attend the wedding using Amber's body.

Even more unexpectedly, Amber was one of the clones that Otto could use.

"An adult should be able to handle this alone."

Rita also had a headache dealing with Freya, who preferred to solve problems alone.

She wanted to help Freya, just like Theresa, but Freya became increasingly independent of them.

Even Rita only knew that Freya had a few secret projects. Freya had given Rita almost all access to intelligence, so Rita knew that Freya was secretly gathering and raising children with health problems and defects. She even knew that Freya had built a large laboratory somewhere in the Siberian Plains.
