Chapter 249
The first new antibody was broken.
He was a promising young man affected by the Honkai.
Before his identity as a member of World Serpent was exposed, he was a young entrepreneur from Country X, dedicated to developing new energy sources other than electricity, nuclear energy, and Honkai Energy.
However, he lost his net worth of over 100 million the moment his identity was exposed.
He went from being a young entrepreneur living in a mansion and a winner in life with more than 30 girlfriends to a terrorist.
The people around him tackled the young man to the ground the moment he tried to destroy other new antibodies.
The impact of Honkai on consciousness is so subtle and gradual.
Unbeknownst to him, this young entrepreneur who wanted to change the world became an avenger who wanted to destroy the Schicksal.
At the same time, he also wanted to destroy the World Serpent's hopes.
In the eyes of this promising young man, the reason he had ended up in this situation was because of the cowardice of the World Serpent Organization and the stupidity and betrayal of its leaders.
He was one of the members who opposed the cadres.
While the World Serpent's current predicament is partly due to the faults of its leaders, it's mostly due to bad luck, and the leaders don't need to bear all the responsibility.
If you really want to be concerned about these things, you shouldn't have joined World Serpent in the first place.
When invited by World Serpent, the ambitious young man wanted to take advantage of World Serpent's connections.
The World Serpent, lurking in the shadows, also cultivates its own power, with members in high positions providing conveniences for other members.
As a result, when World Serpent had an accident, the members who were upset started to blame World Serpent.
Although the young entrepreneurs were affected by the Honkai, the Honkai only amplified the resentment in the other party's heart.
If he hadn't harbored resentment towards the World Serpent, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
Looking at the broken syringe, Gray Serpent felt a stomachache. Even though he was using a mechanical clone, he still felt unbearable pain.
"One-sixth... one-sixth of the Second Divine Key is gone just like that."
Pain.
It hurts so much I can't breathe!
The Gray Serpent, of course, could not comprehend the pain it was experiencing.
The young entrepreneur who lost everything ultimately ended up under house arrest.
The World Serpent is no longer able to severely punish members who make mistakes.
Moreover, Honkai should be held responsible for this mistake.
After this minor incident, Gray Serpent became more cautious in selecting test subjects.
Second place, third place, fourth place... In the blink of an eye, three candidates have been injected with the new antibody, while two other new antibodies have been sent to the laboratory.
As if in prayer, the Gray Serpent clasped its hands together, hoping that the researchers at World Serpent would successfully analyze the components of the new antibody—and it must be said that the researchers at World Serpent were indeed very ambitious, as they did indeed analyze the components of the new antibody.
Looking at the analysis results, more than half of which were marked as unknown, Gray Serpent trembled as he held the experimental report.
Worse still, one of the new antibodies underwent an unknown reaction due to improper handling during the testing process, resulting in prolonged exposure to air.
Gray Serpent clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart was about to stop.
That's one-third of it.
The Second Divine Key, worth one-third of its value!!
However, misfortune continued to strike.
Three test subjects who were injected with the new antibody escaped from the shelter under the pretext of going to the toilet, and joined forces with the army of a major North American country that was lying in ambush outside.
The experimental subjects were indeed die-hard fans of the World Serpent, and after being injected with the new antibody, they also wanted to contribute to the World Serpent cause.
However, the North American spies lurking within World Serpent bribed the test subject with a huge sum of money.
Not only do the three organizations fighting against the Honkai have spies from various countries, but in fact, government agencies in various countries also have spies planted by the three organizations.
Those who openly admit to being multi-faceted spies, like Cocolia, are few and far between.
Most importantly, she was directly under the Acting Grand Bishop Schicksal.
Of course, no one regarded Cocolia as a multi-faceted spy. With the protection of the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal, and her extensive network of intelligence sales, including those of the Schicksal, she was directly regarded as an intelligence broker.
He and Siegfried started working as deliverymen, accepting commissions from various countries and organizations, while everyone pretended not to know the truth.
Gray Serpent never expected that the test subject would be bribed and choose to betray the organization.
The World Serpent Organization now has almost zero tolerance for betrayal. An experimental subject who escaped and joined forces with the army of a major North American country was riddled with bullets by the World Serpent members who were chasing him.
Those North American armies that dared to provoke World Serpent were all slaughtered by members of World Serpent.
It was really enjoyable.
However, a major North American country directly severed the trading channels that had been secretly established with the World Serpent Organization.
Gray Serpent clutched his chest and ran to Kiana to complain.
He felt that if this continued, his heart would stop.
That's half of the Second Divine Key evaporated.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just cut the Second Divine Key in half and sold it by weight as Soul Steel.
Kiana didn't know how to respond to Gray Serpent's cries.
She was also driven crazy by the World Serpent's terrible situation.
Even if they flaunt their status as disciples of the Venerable Master, they can no longer revive this organization whose morale has been completely destroyed.
Ideals, beliefs, perseverance... often become meaningless in the face of reality.
"Lord White Serpent, we only have two test subjects who have been injected with the new antibody left, and one new antibody that is still being tested in the laboratory. Please go and put in a good word with the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal."
"..."
294. Can't you just make things a little easier for me?
In the end, Kiana shamelessly begged her younger sister for help.
Under Aurora's dazed gaze, Freya had no choice but to agree to her request, promising to trade the new antibody with the World Serpent, with no limit on the quantity.
Of course, Kiana also wants the composition data of the new antibody and the raw materials for the new antibody.
Currently, the researchers at World Serpent are unable to detect the components of the new antibody. The senior researchers who were originally affiliated with World Serpent have either been attracted by the new benefits of the Schicksal or recruited by various countries with large sums of money. They have abandoned their pursuit of the declining World Serpent Organization.
As members of the World Serpent, the researchers are more rational. Rather than boarding a sinking, dilapidated ship, they would certainly prefer a good ship that can brave the wind and waves.
While World Serpent was being thoroughly humiliated by Freya, the organization's senior researchers began looking for new employers, and even the Anti-Entropy organization took in many researchers who had left World Serpent.
Despite possessing the most complete Previous Era scientific research technology among the three organizations, and having a super genius who developed the technology to modify Honkai Beast based on this, they now lack even a single senior researcher who can play a pivotal role.
When Gray Serpent was holding the experimental report, he saw that more than half of it was marked as containing unknown ingredients, and his heart sank.
When did snakes lurking in the shadows get to such a state?
Since when did the World Serpent become so powerless even in punishing traitors?
When did members of World Serpent begin to so easily abandon the organization?
After the disappearance of the Lord of the World Serpent, through several generations of top officials, the Gray Serpent eventually recruited followers in the name of the Lord.
World Serpent is the only organization in the world capable of destroying the Honkai.
However, the Gray Serpent had to admit the powerlessness of the World Serpent today; researchers belonging to the World Serpent were unable to even detect the components of a new antibody.
Kiana takes over from Gray Serpent to seek component data for the new antibody.
Only by obtaining the composition data of the new antibody can World Serpent be able to clone it.
That said, the raw material for the new antibody is serum made from cloned blood of K422-1 that has lost its activity.
K422-1 serum can be used to make neutralizing agents, and the research being conducted by the Jackal on the other side is to turn this special neutralizing agent into a special drug.
People exposed to Honkai Energy radiation will die instantly if they do not have antibodies in their bodies, while those with a certain level of antibodies will only have their death delayed.
Shencheng Medicine was able to develop rapidly after the Second Eruption War not only because of their relationship with the Schicksal, but more importantly because they possessed drugs to treat patients with mild pollution symptoms.
The specific drug currently under development is for patients experiencing severe pollution symptoms.
If the special medicine is successful, then the most dangerous environment during the Valkyrie modification surgery can be overcome 100%.
Many Valkyrie will no longer have to experience the pain of killing their own students with their own hands.
Just like when Himeko underwent the modification surgery, Laguna, despite his pain, had to stand fully armed outside the operating room. If Himeko's surgery failed and she became Deadman, Laguna would be the one to release her.
The composition data of the new antibody, or rather, the half of the unknown component, simply put, is the mutated Freya's Holy Blood.
If one is the vessel of the Herrscher of Finality, it does explain why K422-1's blood, even after losing its activity and without counteracting the properties of Honkai Energy, can still be compatible with the powers of Honkai Beast, Deadman, and Herrscher.
It can be said that the remarkable compatibility of K422-1 blood is the reason for the success of the new antibody.
Freya did not want to provide the blood data of K422-1 to World Serpent.
To be honest, there were reasons why World Serpent failed.
Besides the lack of effective research by existing researchers in the World Serpent, the main reason is that the inactive blood of K422-1 is itself the most perfect neutralizing agent.
The metal, soaked in K422-1's blood, fused perfectly with Honkai Energy and remained unaffected by its Honkai Energy.
It's important to know that Honkai Energy can also corrode and damage metals, which is why the Previous Era created Soul Steel, while the current civilization, led by Tesla, created Týr Alloy.
Soul Steel was able to resist the erosion of Honkai Energy only because of its self-repairing ability.
Týr Alloy can only effectively isolate the erosion of Honkai Energy, but it cannot combine with Honkai Energy. In fact, the isolation effect of Týr Alloy also has its limits, and it cannot be passed on to the next civilization era like the Soul Steel of the Previous Era.
K422-1's blood is equivalent to his own blood.
Freya did not want this blood to be misused.
The last abuser, Otto, was almost killed by a rampaging K422-1.
Freya did not open up blood research for K422-1 for various reasons.
To date, only she, Jackal, Tesla, and Einstein have the authority within the alliance to access K422-1 blood.
Those who know the characteristics of K422-1's blood also include Otto, who left the Schicksal.
Of course, Otto not only had her original blood, but also a blood sample from K422-1 that had not lost its activity.
He even used the highly compatible, inactive blood of K422-1 to create a kind of conductive fluid that could deliver soul matter 100% without causing any loss of soul matter during the transmission process.
Freya can provide new antibodies, but she cannot provide the raw materials.
No matter how much new antibodies are misused, they won't cause a disaster, but K422-1's blood is too dangerous.
Freya created Humanoid Honkai Beast due to a single instance of misuse.
Although the Humanoid Honkai Beast she created were very obedient and willing to follow her orders and cooperate with the experiments, the test results told her that the lower limit of the Humanoid Honkai Beast was Judgment-class.
The Humanoid Honkai Beast is an attempt by the Honkai Consciousness.
Freya had no idea what changes this attempt would bring to the world.
In any case, Freya dared not take this risk.
Therefore, Freya rejected Kiana's idea of wanting the raw materials and only agreed to trade some of the data for the new antibody.
In fact, she was initially unwilling to provide even some data on the new antibody.
Unfortunately, my little sister is exceptionally good at acting cute.
They hug me, rub my face against mine, kiss my face, and give me lots of kisses... I just can't stop them.
Seriously, you, the dignified acting leader of the World Serpent, is it really okay to sell your body like this?
To be honest, I, Fu, am an incurable siscon; the thought of my sister sacrificing so much for World Serpent makes me very unhappy!
Freya decided to cause some trouble for the World Serpent.
For example, if the trading price of the new antibody is increased several times, it would round up to be a technology from a Previous Era.
The following morning, she told her adjutant about the deal she had made with the World Serpent.
Let the adorable maid adjutant give World Serpent a good thrashing.
Then, he worked with Jackal again on research related to new antibodies. Of course, Jackal also had many research projects under his belt.
