Chapter 206

Rita could only sigh helplessly along with Theresa.

Of course, if it weren't for her outstanding intelligence gathering abilities, she would probably have ended up in the same situation as Theresa, only responsible for stamping documents.

On the other side, Tesla, after receiving the blessings, tossed the bouquet in the air.

The bouquet was eventually taken by a slightly older Valkyrie.

The process was rather intense; even before she had donned the Type-B Stigmata, the Valkyrie's original combat power already surpassed that of ordinary people.

Compared to the female members of Anti-Entropy who obediently jump only ten centimeters off the ground, the Valkyrie jump two or three meters at a time.

The battle for the bouquet took place five or six meters above the ground. If Tesla had exerted a little more force, the battle could probably have reached an even higher altitude.

In short, the whole process was like a battle of gods.

The first to fall were the members of Anti-Entropy. The female members of Anti-Entropy could be described as having soft voices and gentle bodies. Even those who used some muscles were just girls from the engineering class. They couldn't possibly get along with a humanoid tyrannosaurus like Valkyrie.

Punches and kicks clashed in the air, even creating shockwaves.

The spies and dignitaries from other countries were completely dumbfounded.

The Valkyrie's combat power is naturally even more exaggerated when equipped with the Type-B Stigmata.

"Congratulations, Laguna."

"Captain Ragnar, congratulations."

"As expected of you, Laguna!"

"Wow, that really opened my eyes."

"Oh, no... I was just lucky."

Laguna, holding a bouquet of flowers with almost all the leaves gone and only a few petals clinging to them, answered shyly.

This statement would be more convincing if there weren't more than a dozen bruised and battered girls lying at her feet.

Siegfried, who was sitting further away, shrank back in fright.

This scene was particularly familiar to him, after all, when he married Cecilia, Laguna was already the Valkyrie of Schicksal.

At that time, Laguna was just a fresh-faced newcomer.

"Are all the Valkyrie of Schicksal this terrifying?"

Ryoma felt particularly sorry for the girls in the engineering class, because compared to the Valkyrie of Schicksal, they were far too delicate.

"... Uh, how should I answer this? I am now a member of the World Serpent."

Siegfried thought for a while and decided to change the subject, since this question was really difficult to answer.

The last one to emerge victorious was Cheng Lixue... After all, she was the strongest A-rank Valkyrie at the time, and Cheng Lixue had humiliated him several times.

Siegfried still remembers how many times Cheng Lixue made him vomit. Despite Cheng Lixue's intense training, he successfully passed the competition held by Otto and defeated all his opponents before standing in front of Cecilia.

Whenever she thinks of Cheng Lixue, she thinks of the other members of the Snow Wolf Squad. After all, they knew that Siegfried was targeting Cecilia, so they didn't hold back when they beat him up.

So, Valkyrie Schicksal considered terrifying?

That's brutal!

237. Welt finally lay down in the grave of his life.

Of course, Siegfried would never utter the word "brutal."

After all, his wife is also Valkyrie, and S-rank Valkyrie at the pinnacle of Valkyrie.

"However, the number of people vying for it this time is relatively small, only about thirty. When I got married, Cecilia threw out the bouquet, and almost a hundred Valkyrie started scrambling for it..."

"... Uh, is there any left of that bouquet?"

Ryoma was startled.

Then Siegfried gave Ryoma a look, telling him to figure it out himself.

Just kidding, Cheng Lixue was the winner back then. She was competing with the other Valkyrie for the bouquet, so how could she possibly damage it?

Do you know what "Heavenly Fist" means?

Cheng Lixue once patted his stomach, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

While grabbing the bouquet, Shigure Kira was hit and immediately became withdrawn.

If Cheng Lixue hadn't been unable to activate the Divine Key she possessed, she would have already become Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie.

Putting aside the Divine Key, the gap between her and the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal is not that large.

Ryoma failed to understand the meaning behind the look Siegfried gave him.

He genuinely felt that the Valkyrie of Schicksal were all humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, and he began to worry about his daughter.

But soon, Ryoma's eyes lit up.

It seems that if his daughter becomes a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, he won't have to worry about her being entangled by bad bugs.

"... It's not all bad, though."

"What did you say?"

Hearing Ryoma's mutterings, Siegfried asked curiously.

"He didn't say anything. Oh, right... Welt should be going on his honeymoon with Tesla next."

Just like Siegfried's abrupt change of topic, Ryoma also abruptly changed the subject.

There are reasons why the two could become friends who share similar interests.

Aside from being extremely doting fathers to their daughters, they share many similarities.

"They seem to be talking about going to Hawaii, but I think it would be better to have the honeymoon in the Far East."

"That's because you didn't spend much time in the Far East before. Anti-Entropy was active in the Far East for a long time, and later it even used the Schicksal Far East Branch as its base. At that time, Welt also went out with Tesla quite a bit. I remember the two of them went to Disneyland before."

Ryoma directly leaked the information to Siegfried.

"Tesla used the guise of on-site inspection to take the funding and drag Welt along."

Welt was depressed because he couldn't save the life he wanted to save, and Tesla came up with this idea to comfort him.

"Ryoma, I'm telling you, these two are already like this, why don't they get married sooner?"

"... How should I know!"

Ryoma glared at Siegfried with annoyance.

Why didn't Welt and Tesla end up together? As the enforcers of Anti-Entropy, didn't they have any idea why?

I just really want to drive them crazy!

Fortunately, Ryoma and the others held on until the end, and Welt finally lay down in his grave.

Okay, that description is not accurate.

Both Ryoma and Siegfried are extremely doting fathers to their daughters and equally devoted husbands.

Neither of them felt that marriage meant entering a grave.

However, Welt's wife is Tesla.

Thinking about it this way, Ryoma suddenly felt that Welt might be about to lie down in the grave of his life.

Welt and Tesla, having received the blessings, also sat down at this table.

"I'm exhausted..."

Although we didn't have to walk past each banquet table individually, it still took more than an hour to reach the central table by following the planned spiral route.

By this time, quite a few dishes had been served, and the other guests had already started eating and drinking. However, their table had not started yet because they were waiting for Welt and Tesla.

After Welt and Tesla sat down, Theresa, Siegfried, and the others offered their blessings once again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Welt."

Einstein, who was standing nearby, handed Tesla a hot towel, which made Welt, who was about to reach out to take the towel, very embarrassed.

"Einstein?"

Congratulations on marrying my best friend!

Einstein's face showed almost no change in emotion, but those who knew her well knew that this was a sign of her happiness.

The act of deliberately handing Tesla a hot towel while calling out Welt's name was her way of trying to make things difficult for the groom, as Tesla's good friend.

After embarrassing the groom, Einstein once again offered his congratulations to his good friend. "Tesla, congratulations."

"Thank you, Einstein."

Tesla, sitting next to Einstein, couldn't help but tear up.

"Don't cry, silly."

"Who is the fool? The one who calls others fools is the fool."

Tesla, who was on the verge of tears, suddenly hugged Einstein.

They've been through a lot together and are the best of friends.

Although the two often argued about research issues, their relationship remained very good.

When the two were still working at Imperial Research Institute Lab 42 under Schicksal, they were already very close. They often stayed up all night together to work on data for a certain experiment, even though at that time, it was the younger Einstein was taking care of Tesla.

"Seriously... you don't look older than me at all."

Einstein, who was being held by Tesla, sighed and then stroked Tesla's head like a mother caring for her young child.

In fact, she did feel the same way as if her daughter were getting married.

As one of the women who also watched Welt grow up, Einstein found it difficult to express to others her powerlessness as an observer.

She watched as the relationship between Welt and Tesla gradually deteriorated, but had to bury it deep in her heart because of her sense of responsibility and ideals.

Childhood, joy, happiness, dreams, and love all give way to the name 'Welt' and the responsibility that the name represents.

As the parents who bestowed the name 'Welt' upon the first First Herrscher and had a close relationship with the first Welt, Einstein never wanted the name 'Welt' to become a burden for the boy.

But... for the boy, this name was too heavy.

It was so heavy that he couldn't act on emotion; it was so heavy that he gave up everything.

Therefore, Einstein was genuinely happy for the couple's wedding.

When Ryoma, Siegfried, and the others saw a faint smile appear on that expressionless face that always seemed to lack interest, they were so shocked that their mouths dropped open, and they almost fell off their chairs to the ground.

"..."

Seeing their exaggerated reactions, Einstein glared at them one by one with narrowed eyes.

Welt and the others quickly apologized to Einstein with smiles on their faces.

If you really anger this genius, you might be in big trouble.

Perhaps because of Welt's marriage to Tesla, even Theresa couldn't help but fantasize that one day her beloved would come to marry her on a white horse.

But when Theresa was daydreaming, the first image that came to mind was Freya.

"... Hmm? Hmm?"

In Theresa's fantasy, the woman who marries her is not Cecilia, but her second daughter, Freya Schariac.

Theresa was also puzzled by this.

"A wedding dress? I would say every woman dreams of one."

"I'm only thirteen years old, "Rita said with a blush on her face.

The eighty-year-old Planck next to him nodded and said, "Yes, every woman has dreams, but some people give up everything for their ideals. I guess I just haven't met the right person yet."

Planck can be said to be a representative of such women.

She gave up too much for the Anti-Entropy organization. In fact, she was also very troubled. She always thought that Welt and Tesla were influenced by her and chose to give up happiness for their ideals and responsibilities.

However, the blood shed and the fruit trees planted by our predecessors were all for the benefit of future generations.

Planck could only regret that he couldn't create better conditions for Welt, Tesla, and others before retiring.

If the balance of power between the Schicksal and the Anti-Entropy Organization could be more evenly matched, perhaps Welt and Tesla wouldn't have had to give up anything.
