Chapter 232
However, he was definitely no match for the opponent in his current state. However, the Armed Puppet in the opponent's Second Divine Key was at most one percent of the power, and the energy that drove the Armed Puppet was likely Honkai Energy. Even if it wasn't Honkai Energy, Freya's anti-Honkai wave could still reduce the opponent's energy.
"Oh, right, we also have immortals. Why don't we take them to London as well?"
"Immortal Fu Hua?"
"Yes, right, let's give the imposters something to do. You, Sister Tesla, and I will go together too. Remember to bring Aurora and the others as well. I will also bring a few of my favorite kids."
"..."
274. It must be Siegfried's fault.
A-374, who was acting as Theresa's human seal, was unaware of the watchtower mission that was about to befall her.
The core of the alliance between the Schicksal and the Anti-Entropy Organization is undoubtedly Freya, Theresa, Welt, and Tesla.
However, in the next few days, Freya will be taking some people on a trip to England with the Welt family... which means that the work on the three of them will fall on the Stand A-374.
Freya suspended the new antibody experiment and assigned a secret force to monitor the experimental subjects.
After all, she and Jackal went to England together, so no one was in charge of the experimental process of the new antibody. In any case, Jackal was an extremely outstanding researcher, and Freya even felt relaxed when he served as her assistant.
It's like having a pro player as your support, allowing you to easily get a pentakill in a bronze-level game.
The day after the group of tourists to the UK was selected, a Floating Battleship with the four artistic characters of "St. Freya" printed on its hull departed from the airport of the Schicksal Floating Island.
This Floating Battleship originally belonged to Theresa, but it has now become Freya's vehicle.
Although many people already know her real name, in the eyes of the general public, she is known as Kiana Apocalypse, the Acting Grand Bishop of the Schicksal, and also the second in line to succeed her.
"Isn't it a bit too extravagant to use Floating Battleship as a means of transportation for travel?"
Ryoma rubbed his throbbing temples. The Schicksal's Floating Battleship was nuclear-powered, and the fuel and other resources consumed on each voyage were not a small amount...
In gaming terms, each time Floating Battleship sails, its various equipment will suffer wear and tear, meaning its durability will decrease.
For the meticulous Ryoma, compared to the luxurious mode of travel like Floating Battleship, they could easily charter an entire airplane.
"What's the point of saying anything now? It's already airborne... Besides, there are some things you can't bring on the plane," Freya said, shrugging.
Ordinary airplanes or transport planes certainly cannot carry several massive-caliber electronic Honkai cannons.
It must be said that the main guns of the New Titan Type 2 were indeed very powerful, so much so that after the new Titan was returned to the factory, Freya removed several main guns and welded them onto the St. Freya.
A standard Floating Battleship is about 280 meters long, with a deck length of about 180 meters.
Powered by nuclear energy, it has six built-in nuclear fusion reactors and can carry up to two hundred people.
The Floating Battleship is powered by Leonov anti-gravity engine, with two engines at the front and two at the rear. The presence of these antigravity engines allows the Floating Battleship to take off and land vertically or hover in mid-air.
With its naturally enormous interior space, coupled with the stability provided by the anti-gravity engine during flight, this mode of travel is certainly a more comfortable experience than flying on airplanes or transport planes.
"If Mr. Ryoma is not happy, I don't mind leaving you behind and letting you fly to England by yourself."
"...A pair of 2s." Ryoma sighed helplessly and played two cards.
"Hehe, I can't afford it." Welt shrugged, mimicking Freya's gesture.
"Three with a pair."
As he spoke, Ryoma played three 6s and two 5s.
"Freya, those three 7s of yours are not going anywhere." Welt said, playing three Aces and two 3s.
Freya could only shrug again, indicating that she couldn't afford it.
While some private jets have large interior spaces, and once the altitude is stable, you can even do some things you like in the cabin, the interior space of the Floating Battleship is even larger. In fact, the hangar of the Floating Battleship can hold hundreds of old-model Titan.
The Anti-Entropy Floating Battleship are faster and more powerful, but their size cannot be compared with the Schicksal Floating Battleship. And these Floating Battleship are only the standard type; the Giant Floating Battleship are more than five times the length of the standard type.
Freya and Ryoma also plan to build a Super Giant Floating Battleship is over 8,000 meters long.
However, the two had a full schedule. They not only had to build an aerial fortress as a node, but also a Space Fortress and launch it into geostationary orbit... Freya also had to develop technology related to the Type-B Stigmata, which caused the plan for the super- Giant Floating Battleship with a total length of over 8,000 meters to be completely delayed...
For Floating Battleship that is approximately 280 meters long, the interior space is comparable to that of a huge stadium.
While Freya, Ryoma, and Welt were playing cards, Aurora and her friends played hide-and-seek with several freshmen chosen by Freya.
However, not all of Freya's chosen new students enjoyed the playful atmosphere; two of them were training in the training room of the Floating Battleship.
Just in case, Freya also asked Rita to keep an eye on the two of them.
After the battle in Nagoya City, Freya placed several outstanding students from the 13th class on a special training list, including Sophia, whose combat strength was temporarily second only to Mei and Aurora, Aisha, and Bianca, as well as Wendy, who was excellent at leg fighting.
Aisha, Wendy, and a few others had already started playing with Aurora. After all, the oldest among them was only 10 years old, and the youngest were only 8 years old, so it was easy for them to mix with a group of children of the same age.
On the contrary Sophia and Bianca, one was indifferent and didn't seem like a child, while the other was somewhat unwilling to admit defeat. The two of them trained in the training room as if they were competing with each other... If it weren't for Rita watching over them, the two of them might have started gravity training mode.
At this point, Welt kept playing cards, and in the blink of an eye, he only had two cards left.
Then, the scenario of him being instantly defeated by seventeen cards didn't happen, because... Ryoma's remaining five cards were exactly four Queens and one 9. Freya looked at her hand and pouted unhappily.
She couldn't increase her fashion value by coming to 'Solvadorana', nor could she slap Welt in the face.
"What bad luck... I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the Second Divine Key."
"You're using this to predict your future fortune? Isn't poker all about luck, and then you make up for it with your skills?" Welt was both amused and exasperated by Freya's logic.
In truth, he lost this round, and Freya was in the same group as Ryoma, was also the winner. So how can this be considered bad luck?
"Welt, poker is never about luck."
"Mr. Welt, Mr. Ryoma cheated just now."
"???"
Welt clutched his chest, looking at the two people in front of him.
Regardless, the two people in front of him were the people he trusted most, which was why he suspected them of cheating. It was just playing cards... just a small game.
"Ryoma? You cheated?"
"I'm sorry, but when the cards were being dealt, Lord Freya gave me a meaningful look, and we formed an alliance right then and there."
"Then I used my spatial abilities to trade cards with Mr. Ryoma."
Freya readily admitted that she played a part in Ryoma's cheating, and then suggested, "Mr. Ryoma, what do you think? Should we go to the casino?"
Ryoma shook his head and said, "Lord Freya, Welt didn't notice us because he trusted us. Given the gambling city's anti-cheating measures, your use of spatial abilities to switch cards could very well expose you..."
"It seems my dream of becoming the God of Gamblers is not going to come true."
Freya shrugged and began shuffling the cards.
Ryoma and Welt were both somewhat confused, as this was the first time they had heard that Freya had the desire to become a gambling god.
They played a few more rounds of cards, and the three of them had their share of wins and losses.
Freya immediately gave up her seat to Tesla, who had just caught up on a Tesla and was now full of energy.
When their adopted daughter was at the age where she was very clingy, Tesla was a newlywed woman who had tasted the sweetness of marriage, and Welt was a healthy, young man, the two of them had to wait until their little angel was asleep before trying to have a younger brother or sister for her...
Freya glanced at Tesla, then gave Welt a knowing smile that any man would understand.
Welt, startled by that smile, looked confused and patted Ryoma on the shoulder.
"Ryoma, what did Freya mean by that smile just now?"
"Yeah, that's roughly the idea," Ryoma.
He could certainly understand Welt's desire to be glued to Tesla's side; Ryoma himself had gone through a similar period.
However, during the most intimate period of Welt and Tesla's relationship, their little angel became an obstacle to their love.
The little angel especially likes Tesla more, and the way she clings to Tesla is like she doesn't want her mother to be taken away by someone else.
Therefore, even a lovely child like Aurora can be a major obstacle preventing parents from deepening their relationship.
"That laugh was a bit too much... It must be Siegfried's fault."
"I think so too. Wouldn't that man have a good influence on his daughter? After all, Lord Freya is our brand."
"Next time we meet, we really can't be polite to him." Welt was also worried that Siegfried would have a strange influence on his little angel.
Regardless of Siegfried's reputation within the Schicksal, Siegfried actual personality is indeed that of a libertine. If he weren't bound by family or loved ones, Siegfried would have left alone to pursue freedom.
Although Siegfried was very devoted to Cecilia, his flirtatious nature was Siegfried his nature.
Welt and Ryoma had received reports of Siegfried harassing female colleagues. Of course, it couldn't be called harassment; it was just that he instinctively used suggestive language to compliment women.
Because of a compliment he made about the Raven's rear end, he now faces a thousand armed opponents every day, bare-handed.
Welt and Ryoma were unaware of the training plan Kiana had arranged for their lecherous father.
Of course, while it was called a training plan, it was actually Kiana's way of boosting morale by providing the demoralized World Serpent members with a very durable punching bag.
Incidentally, it was definitely not Kiana who came up with this plan, but rather a certain 'second young lady' who isn't a father-obsessed person and likes to come up with these kinds of crazy ideas.
Welt, Ryoma, and Tesla started playing 'Dou Dizhu' (a card game), while Freya, after washing her face, happened to pass by the training room—
275. Adults, they are still children.
Although the St. Freya was Freya's personal Floating Battleship, Freya did not use it as a combat St. Freya.
There are many types of standard-class Floating Battleship, such as the Floating Battleship used by the Assault Team, which are aircraft carrier-type.
The Floating Battleship is equipped with six Valkyrie combat airship, which can suppress Honkai zone of scale 3A or smaller. It also has many air-to-ground turrets and combatants to operate them.
The Schicksal doesn't only have Valkyrie as its fighting force; it's just that ordinary people have very limited capabilities when it comes to fighting Honkai Beast.
When facing Honkai Beast of 100 meters or more that randomly appear in areas of 3A or above, the turrets of the Floating Battleship and the Valkyrie combat airship are basically useless.
In fact, when you encounter a 100-meter-class Honkai Beast, that's when the Floating Battleship Assault Team.
Freya, who did not regard the St. Freya. St. Freya as a combat-use Floating Battleship, modified it. Of course, she personally did not have the modification technology, but now the Schicksal had the Anti-Entropy Organization, which claimed to be the world's number one in science and technology, as its ally. The St. Freya was transformed into a very comfortable vehicle.
Simply put, it's a motorhome.
However, most people either buy ready-made motorhomes or buy a bus and convert it into a motorhome.
The same applies to the St. Freya; it can only be considered Freya's sky villa.
The training room was very close to Freya's master bedroom, which was several hundred square meters. After washing her face in the bathroom in the master bedroom, Freya went to the training room. It wasn't that she was specifically paying attention to Sophia and Bianca's training.
Ultimately, in order to avoid completely succumbing to the Honkai, Freya plans to cultivate a 'hero' who can defeat her, but she may not necessarily choose from the 13th batch of new students.
As soon as Freya entered the training room, her gaze immediately fell on two little girls who were secretly competing on the treadmills.
"Rita... how many times did they activate gravity?"
As the owner of the training room, Freya could tell at a glance that the two little girls were recklessly challenging the gravity mode.
For the two little girls whose bodies haven't fully developed yet, and who don't have the same innate power of Creation as her, training in gravity mode too early would affect their development and cause unavoidable damage to their bodies.
"It's 1.1 times. They know that too much of a good thing can be bad... Please don't blame them, sir. They're trying their best to meet your expectations." After a moment of silence, Rita defended the two little girls.
She also quite liked the two girls who were Xiao San or four years younger than her.
Those new students selected by Freya to participate in this trip to England were naturally included in Freya's special training list, also known as the list of heroes.
However, compared to Aisha, Wendy, and others who were constantly arguing with Aurora and Bronya, Sophia and Bianca had extremely strong self-control.
"I'm not so cruel as to blame them for wanting to become stronger. I myself had a very reckless period like that before..." Freya has never forgotten the time when she suddenly became arrogant and challenged a hundred Emperor-class Honkai Beast. As a result, because the hundred beasts overlapped and attacked together, Freya experienced what it meant to be hit by Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
She was so badly injured that she was embedded in the wall, and it took her quite some time to recover.
"Since they know what is too much of a good thing, they should also know what it means to balance work and rest. Once the new antibody experiments are all completed, they will be among the first to receive the injections. There will be plenty of time for them to work hard then."
"...Sir, they are still children." Rita hesitated for a moment before saying this. As Freya's adjutant, she clearly knew the mission of the children on the special training list.
"Besides, they admire you very much. Is it really a good idea to let them learn those moves?"
"Who knows? Maybe those moves won't work. In any case, these are some of the most talented students in the 13th cohort. Mei, Kaguya, Huohuo, Bronya, and the A-Lynn Sisters are all in my training program."
Freya did not name Aurora.
After all, this adorable little sister is the Little Princess of Anti-Entropy, and she doesn't need to plan her own future.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she chose Welt and Tesla as her adoptive parents, Freya would have preferred that she live a happy life in a more ordinary family, which is also what Kiana hoped for.
But Freya herself knew that in this era of escalating Honkai, living in an ordinary family was not necessarily a happy life.
There are far too many ordinary families who have lost everything because of the Honkai of their families.
