Chapter 213
Freya felt helpless. She had already used her awakening ability, but the dormant consciousness within the Divine Key completely ignored her.
If we compare the Divine Key to a house, then Freya's awakening ability is like her arriving at someone's door and pressing the doorbell; the loud doorbell will awaken the sleeping consciousness.
You can say you'll wake them up if you want.
Otto speculates that she possesses the ability to awaken because she can gradually awaken new Herrscher powers. At the same time, her ability to awaken can also stimulate the potential abilities of others, and even stimulate the full power of the Divine Key.
Freya's analogy wasn't actually accurate, but she felt it was very vivid.
She felt that the lingering consciousness sleeping in the Divine Key was the homeowner who was sleeping too soundly and so deeply that he had ignored the doorbell she had pressed.
Of course, it could also be that the doorbell was too quiet.
After all, Freya felt that the awakened ability was not so much Honkai Side ability as the Herrscher ability within her body, but rather a gift passed down through DNA from Previous Era.
To be honest, it's not surprising that such bizarre abilities have emerged.
Firstly, he possesses the bloodlines of both the Kaslana Family and the Schariac Family. Tracing back the Schariac Family lineage, during the period when the Schicksal's Eastern Expedition failed and the Black Death broke out... For some unknown reason, the source of the power of this Schariac Family Bloodline Power is now a special beast-like Deadman.
Detailed experimental reports about Eleanor Schariac are recorded in the special files left to her by Otto.
After studying the remains of Eleanor Schariac, who had been transformed into a beast-like Deadman, Otto attempted to pass on the power to control Honkai Energy through bloodline inheritance.
This project is also known as the Honkai Energy Manipulation Genetic Project.
The Schariac Family were beneficiaries of this plan.
Not only does she carry the DNA of Deadman in her bloodline, but the bloodline of the Kaslana Family also contains the DNA of Honkai Beast. As an experimental subject integrated into the Second Herrscher, Freya also possesses the DNA of the Herrscher.
Just like pouring Coke, Sprite, Fanta, iced tea, green tea, coffee, and yogurt into a cup, the taste would be absolutely bizarre and unforgettable.
"It failed..."
Freya didn't intend to pay any attention to Theresa, since Theresa's face was clearly full of smiles when talking about defeat.
Even if Theresa takes on the task of escorting the Judas' Oath, if Freya's experiments continue to fail, perhaps the Judas' Oath will not need to be delivered to Otto.
Freya frowned, sensing Theresa's schadenfreude.
"Hehe, keep going, keep going..."
Theresa noticed Freya's displeasure and quickly moved aside with a mischievous grin, becoming a quiet spectator.
However, she secretly cursed Freya's experiments to continue failing.
The third connection experiment begins—
This time, Freya no longer felt the relief of a maid who spends 20 out of 24 hours a day serving a capricious young lady, but rather the resentment a maid harbors towards the capricious young lady.
Compared to the lingering consciousness dormant within the Divine Key, Freya felt that the emotions she was experiencing were more like the emotions of the Divine Key itself.
She even felt as if she could hear Judas' Oath complaining that Theresa didn't cherish her enough.
However, apart from the complaints of the Divine Key, Freya still failed to awaken the sleeping consciousness. Although she clearly sensed several consciousnesses within the Judas' Oath, none of them responded to her call.
"Failed again?!"
Seeing Freya start adjusting the parameters again, Theresa's voice was light and cheerful.
Seeing Theresa's expression, like a little fox who had stolen a chicken, Freya's lips curled down slightly, and she said with a hint of helplessness, "... Theresa, even if you want to gloat, you don't have to be so blatant."
"No, no, I wasn't gloating at all. I was just concerned about Kiana's experiment progress," Theresa replied, her face flushed.
At this moment, she wasn't feeling shy or embarrassed at all. Instead, seeing Freya's unhappy expression, and knowing Freya as she did, Theresa was certain that Freya's experiment hadn't made any progress. This made her even happier, and she was so excited that she wanted to jump up and down on the spot.
"Yes, I'm just concerned about Kiana's experiment progress, whether it's successful or not..."
Faced with Theresa's shameless reply, Freya rolled her eyes twice in annoyance.
She felt that Judas' Oath was not without merit.
Then she began the fourth connection experiment.
The fourth connection experiment... It can sense the emotions of the Divine Key, but cannot read the records inside the Divine Key. It can sense the consciousness inside the Divine Key, but the consciousness does not respond - the experiment failed.
The sixth connection experiment... I could sense the clear emotional response of the Divine Key, but I still couldn't read the records inside the Divine Key, and the consciousness inside the Divine Key still didn't respond—the experiment failed.
The ninth connection experiment... could sense a very clear emotional response from the Divine Key, or rather, Theresa's complaints, but still could not read the records inside the Divine Key, and the consciousness inside the Divine Key still did not respond—the experiment failed again.
The thirteenth connection experiment... It was possible to sense the Divine Key's concern for Theresa and to communicate with the Divine Key's subconscious in a dialogue-like manner, but it was still impossible to read the records inside the Divine Key, and the consciousness inside the Divine Key still did not respond - the experiment failed again.
"..."
Freya adjusted the parameters again, modifying the wavelength frequency diffused by the consciousness connection device.
Theresa, standing to the side, was so happy that she even started playing with her single ponytail.
"Kiana, did you fail again?"
"... Failure is the mother of success. I've even conquered the mother of success, so why would I be afraid of not being able to conquer success?"
"Hey-hey!"
Theresa was so blatant in booing from the sidelines that she didn't even bother to hide her smile anymore.
Freya replied to Theresa in an annoyed tone.
To be honest, even if each experiment failed, she still obtained a lot of experimental data, and Freya was sure that some bastard church would be interested in this experimental data.
This includes the potential emotions inherent in the Divine Key itself, whether the subconscious can drive the Divine Key independently, and observational data on how Honkai Energy, etc.
That's all for today, I'm going to have dinner now...
Freya, who had spent the entire day in the laboratory and even had her lunch delivered by her maid Liv, naturally planned to invite Rita to have a candlelight dinner together.
As soon as she stepped off the device, the screen of the communicator she was wearing displayed a communication request from the cute little girl.
After Freya accepted the communication request from someone whose nickname was 'Cute Little Sister', a communication screen appeared in mid-air. The small window in the screen began to adjust the shooting distance, capturing Freya's upper body and projecting it in front of the contact on the other end of the communicator.
"Sister~" Aurora she appeared on the communication screen.
Freya asked with a hint of confusion, "Aurora? What's going on?"
"I want to have dinner with my second sister... I cooked today and I want... my second sister to try it."
Two blushes appeared on Aurora's lovely face, and her shy appearance made Freya's bad mood of the day disappear.
As expected of the healing Little Princess of the Anti-Entropy organization, and truly worthy of being Freya Schariac's adorable little sister.
Perhaps because Tesla and Welt were on their honeymoon, Aurora, feeling lonely, wanted to find her second sister for company.
"Okay, then I'll have my dinner at your place..."
Freya gave her answer, and looking at the little angel on the other end of the communication screen who was dancing with joy, she couldn't help but show Theresa a smug expression.
Theresa, who had been gloating just moments before, was now filled with nothing but envy.
247. Judas' Oath: I really hope Theresa can cherish herself a little more.
For the next eight or nine days, Freya only occasionally dined at Aurora's place, since Mei and the others would feel very reserved when dining with her.
However, I've been sleeping with Aurora for the past few nights.
The younger sister, who is afraid of loneliness, is not yet old enough to live away from her parents. Tesla has only been gone for two days, but she is already unable to fall asleep alone.
Although Mei, Iserin, and Huohuo offered themselves to her, she still dreamed of the Schicksal Laboratory and a group of researchers surrounding her. The white lab coats of those researchers formed an insurmountable wall, imprisoning her in a cage with no other color than white.
It was only after Freya slept with me that I was freed from the nightmare.
In order to get her second sister to sleep with her, Aurora racked her brains to come up with a way to keep her overnight.
Although Freya would absolutely agree to sleep with Aurora she asked, she was also happy to play this game with Aurora.
She made extra food so she could eat it with her second sister; she made a new dish and wanted her second sister to try it; Mei introduced a really fun video game that she wanted to play with her second sister, and so on...
Freya, the second eldest sister who loves to tease her younger sister, deliberately refuses Aurora's excuse in order to amuse her...
What dishes can be thrown away if you make too much? What new dishes can't compare to the foie gras made by a French chef? What are the names of the fun video games? I'll have Rita buy them... Simply put, when Freya rejected her, Freya felt a great sense of pleasure looking at Aurora who was about to cry.
But despite teasing her younger sister, she would always arrive at Aurora's dormitory on time every night.
Aurora always felt that her second sister was doing it on purpose.
"What excuse will the Xiao San have this time?"
Freya sighed as she flipped through various documents in her office.
At this moment, only she and Rita remained in the huge office, while the human seal, who should have been there, carried the Divine Key and went to find Otto with Amber by his side.
Although their outings would be very conspicuous, Otto was hiding in Europe was originally the headquarters of the Schicksal. Even if the Schicksal Headquarters were moved to the Far East, there would still be a large number of Schicksal- related research institutions and facilities in Europe.
Theresa and Amber traveled to Europe under the Changguang with Nagamitsu, the director of the Research Institute 1504.
The director of the Research Institute 1504 enhanced the stability of the Fire Fairy Type II and Water Fairy Type II, requiring the Schicksal Headquarters to arrange testing personnel. Freya naturally entrusted this task to Theresa and Amber.
This pretext cleverly concealed Theresa's true purpose: to transport the Divine Key.
After a week of continuous research, Freya's study of the Judas' Oath has come to a close... She has had a complete dialogue with the fully awakened subconscious of the Judas' Oath.
Incidentally, Freya also took notes during the conversation, which became part of the experimental data she would give to Otto.
Users of the Judas' Oath never know how they are perceived by those who Judas' Oath.
Judas' Oath, in terms of personality, is more like a talkative older sister.
That's why it worries about what will happen to Theresa if Theresa's separated from it...
For a user who kicks off the covers while sleeping and has an unconscious habit of hugging people, Judas' Oath feels like she truly has the heart of a mother.
Not only do I have to cover Theresa with a blanket, but sometimes I also have to crawl into bed with her and hold her.
Most importantly, Theresa's housework skills are extremely poor. Judas' Oath often throws Theresa's clothes, which she has carelessly left lying around, into the washing machine after Theresa goes to sleep. Then he uses the spear inside the cross to dry the washed clothes, folds them neatly, puts them in the closet, and then uses the Hunt mode to capture all the trash in the room, imprisoning and capturing it before moving it to the trash can.
Sometimes, when Theresa was doing laundry, her attention would be diverted to other things, and she would leave her underwear in the washing machine unattended. It was Judas' Oath led her to take it out and hang it on her spear, pretending that Theresa had hung it herself before going to bed.
Anyway, Theresa is like a sleeping detective who, when she wakes up, has no memory of what she did before going to sleep. Seeing the clothes hanging on the spear, she will definitely think that she hung them there herself.
The most troublesome thing is that Theresa takes the documents back to her room to review them. She often falls asleep on her desk halfway through. Judas' Oath has to wash her hair, bathe her, dry her hair and body, and carefully dry her hair with the spear in Hunting Mode. Then, she changes Theresa into her pajamas and puts her in bed. Then, Judah's Oath reviews the remaining documents that Theresa hasn't finished reviewing... Anyway, Theresa's job only requires stamping. For a subconscious mind that can't think about too complicated problems, stamping is something it can do.
Of course, the reason why the subconscious mind of Judas' Oath was so intelligent was that, in its memory, it was after Freya touched it.
Since then, the subconscious that was originally just used to assist the user in battle has suddenly evolved to the point that it can fight alone in place of the user.
Judas' Oath was very fond of Theresa.
Of all the users of the Judas' Oath throughout history, Theresa Apocalypse was the most favored recipient of the Judas' Oath.
However, when talking about Theresa, Judas' Oath always unconsciously steers the conversation toward Theresa's lack of appreciation for herself.
Seeing Judas' Oath change from a talkative older sister tone to a somewhat hysterical chatterbox, Freya could only say that Theresa had indeed developed a strange function for Judas' Oath.
The Judas' Oath can release heat and raise the surface temperature... Theresa uses it as a cushion, but sometimes she even puts a pot on it to cook noodles, and when she wants to add a ham to the noodles, she even uses the surface of the cross as a cutting board... The kitchen knife is naturally a deformable spearhead.
The levitation mode of the Judas' Oath, aside from being used as a vehicle by Theresa each time, is actually designed to reduce the weight of the Oath Judas' Oath when the user is unable to lift it, making it easier for the user to carry... However, Theresa, taking advantage of her small size and light weight, used the levitation mode as a vehicle mode.
Sometimes it slides down snow-capped mountains, sometimes it advances on surging waves, sometimes it races across sandy ground... For the Judas' Oath, the cross of the Divine Key is equivalent to the body. Every time Theresa steps on it and slides down, it feels as if it is being caressed with its face and body, and the paint on its body has been worn off several times...
Honestly, Judas' Oath really hopes that Theresa can cherish herself a little more.
She didn't regret doing housework for Theresa, nor did she mind cooking noodles for Theresa, and she wouldn't blame Theresa for being trampled underfoot. How should I put it? The more clumsy a child is, the more lovable they are.
For the subconscious mind of the Judas' Oath, Theresa, the user of all generations, is the user it is most worried about.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that its subconscious evolution was touched by Freya, and in the six months after being touched, the user of the Judas' Oath was still Theresa.
Therefore, the most memorable user of the Judas' Oath was undoubtedly Theresa.
However, when there was a complaint about the Judas' Oath, Freya also felt that Theresa should indeed cherish the Judas' Oath.
Putting aside the subconsciousness of the Divine Key, Freya rang the doorbell hundreds of times but failed to awaken the remaining consciousness sleeping within the Divine Key.
Besides using the laboratory equipment to wake her up, Freya also tried to take a nap while holding the Judas' Oath, but she still couldn't enter the Herrscher Core space inside.
The Judas' Oath was like a door welded shut; Freya's awakening ability clearly sensed the target, but... the target never responded to her.
This wasn't just sleeping in; it was wearing earmuffs, the room was super immersive, and I ended up taking several naps.
Unable to enter the Herrscher Core, Freya is unable to communicate with the consciousness inside, and therefore cannot prove to that bastard bishop whether Kallen's consciousness is dormant inside.
