Chapter 250

"In terms of the level of scientific research personnel, they are not much worse than Einstein and Sister Tesla."

If Einstein and Tesla were super geniuses of their time decades ago, then the Jackal is a super genius of our time, especially in the field of biology where no one can surpass him.

Einstein and Tesla were primarily super geniuses in the field of mechanics.

"Your Grand Bishop is too kind."

The Jackal quickly tried to ingratiate himself.

"So why did you choose to be a responsible researcher and instead go and command operations?"

It wasn't a bad thing to let Jackal control Shencheng Medicine, but giving her command authority was a mistake.

Without command, Jackal wouldn't be able to instigate a full-scale war, and the World Serpent Organization wouldn't be in such a passive position, able to remain hidden as before.

It was Jackal who instigated the all-out war and released Honkai Beast into the city, causing Shencheng Medicine's reputation to plummet and making it an international terrorist organization. As a result, World Serpent, the company behind Shencheng Medicine, was also implicated.

During her time working with the Jackal, Freya also came to admire her abilities.

Besides the technology to modify Honkai Beast, Jackal also possess the technology to turn ordinary animals into controllable Honkai Beast, or rather, the technology to make animals adapt to Honkai Energy without being affected by Honkai Consciousness.

If this technology were applied to humans, it might create super soldiers who are in no way inferior to Valkyrie.

Freya realized she had underestimated the value of the Jackal.

This thing's head isn't just worth sacrificing to the heavens; at the very least, her creativity and inspiration can make it easier for Schicksal to utilize Honkai Energy.

"..."

The Jackal scratched her cheek; she simply couldn't answer the question.

If someone had asked her this before she was captured, Jackal would have proudly proudly replied with her 36D bust, "Who else could do it but me?" But now, after being captured and learning about the ending of this Schicksal vs. World Serpent battle, Jackal is completely unaware that she has tricked World Serpent.

During that time, Jackal was deeply afraid that the members of World Serpent would do anything to find her and perish together.

The organization, which was originally capable of challenging Schicksal, was ruined by this mishap and was reduced to hiding in a refuge in the Sahara Desert.

"Forget it, let's continue the research. We have many projects on hand. The new antibody is just the first step in the Ultimate Valkyrie Project," Freya reminded her.

Jackal nodded and said, "... Yes, Your Grand Bishop. I'm also working on the special medicine at the same time. However... compared to blood that has lost its activity, blood that has remained active should be more suitable for treating patients exposed to Honkai Energy radiation. I hope Your Excellency can provide a few samples of blood that has remained active."

"The blood that remains active also has a strong anti-Honkai wave. In that state, the blood has no compatibility and is even extremely exclusive. After losing its activity, the blood itself is a highly compatible neutralizer. However, I will provide some samples. If you want to study it, I can provide the original Holy Blood."

At this point, Freya felt she should remind her again.

"However, that blood is dangerous. Do not inject it into Honkai creature indiscriminately, especially do not use it for cloning. You should have seen the frozen K422-1."

"... Yes, Your Grand Bishop."

Jackal does not deny that he has the idea of cloning K422-1.

However, after Freya's reminder, she was also worried about going too far. Although researchers should have the courage to step into taboos, the reason her head was still on her neck was precisely because of Freya's forgiveness.

That being said, the fact that she could obtain Freya's blood but couldn't clone it or inject it into Honkai creature was still a source of regret for this super genius in the field of biology.

In the following months, the three organizations and various countries seemed to have communicated beforehand, and no one did anything out of line.

July, August... November, December, and before we knew it, it was 2009—

The new antibody, which has undergone various environmental simulation experiments, now has a large number of users. Although the Schicksal has not yet opened up the trading channels for the new antibody, it has conducted human trials in many locations.

Those who received the new antibody injections were all volunteers. After all, both the Schicksal and various countries were offering huge sums of money, and Freya didn't mind using a large number of volunteers for experiments in order to obtain more diverse data.

In fact, no hidden problems were found in the experiments conducted in the second half of the year regarding the new antibody, so there was no doubt that production could be increased immediately.

In reality, various countries have been trying to make deals with the Schicksal, hoping that the Schicksal can increase the production of new antibodies.

However, Freya, out of caution, still carefully sought verification.

Having been Honkai Consciousness once, Freya doesn't want to be Honkai Consciousness by it again.

Most importantly, after creating Humanoid Honkai Beast, the increase in Honkai Energy in various places slowed down.

Freya always felt that the Honkai Consciousness was brewing a big news story.

This peace lasted until early February 2009.

The World Serpent Organization has decided to attack all of the Sea Abyss City owned by the Anti-Entropy Organization.

During the Second Eruption, after Welt went to the moon, Anti-Entropy retrieved the meteorite that Sirin had thrown into the Pacific Ocean and unexpectedly discovered the Pre-Civilization Ruins of Sea Abyss City deep in the Mariana Trench.

In fact, a large number of Schicksal troops and several Valkyrie squad are still stationed in Sea Abyss City, including one squad composed of Type-B Valkyrie.

Today, the Anti-Entropy Organization and the Schicksal have merged, and Schicksal are even jointly building their headquarters in Changkong City.

The headquarters buildings representing the Anti-Entropy Organization and the Schicksal stand like symmetrical twin towers on the earth.

Although the Twin Towers Alliance headquarters building is still under construction and is aiming for a height of 900 meters, it will take several years to complete even with the construction teams of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy. However, such a landmark building will symbolize the close relationship between the two organizations.

However, these were not the real reasons why the World Serpent Organization attacked Sea Abyss City.

The World Serpent Organization is not uneasy about the merger of the two organizations, except that there is a passage to the Sea of Quantum within Sea Abyss City.

This time, the World Serpent Organization has decided to rescue their lord from the depths of the Sea of Quantum.

"... Can't you just make things a little easier for me?"

Freya sighed after receiving this information from Cocolia.

This was a total attack by the World Serpent Organization, which showed their determination. They deliberately let Cocolia leak information in the hope that she would withdraw the Schicksal Force and Anti-Entropy Force stationed in Sea Abyss City.

To be honest, as a relic from Previous Era, the function of Sea Abyss City could not possibly be as simple as just an underwater base.

When Freya learned from Einstein and Tesla that Sea Abyss City had a passage connecting to the Sea of Quantum, Freya was almost speechless.

She's so busy, how could she possibly have time to study the Sea of Quantum?

But!

With its underwater base connecting to the Sea of Quantum and the Lord of the World Serpent, the value of Sea Abyss City is immense, and Freya would never easily relinquish it.

295. What a dirty strategy...

Sea Abyss City is so valuable, how could Freya easily let it go? Therefore, Gray Serpent used Cocolia to pass on the information that World Serpent was going to attack Sea Abyss City.

This is the World Serpent Organization's total attack.

Even though the World Serpent were bullied terribly by Freya, it didn't mean they couldn't retaliate against Freya.

If Gray Serpent hadn't stabilized the order within World Serpent in time, and Kiana hadn't become the acting leader six months later, Freya might have faced an out-of-control World Serpent organization.

Even if the three organizations differ in strength, if any one of them launches a full-scale war, the organization that fights against it will only achieve a pyrrhic victory.

Moreover, once the war begins, neither side can guarantee victory.

Small-scale conflicts or local wars are not a big deal, but if an organization of the three major organizational levels starts a full-scale war, it is easy to drag other countries down with it.

The Schicksal was able to defeat the World Serpent Organization with relatively few casualties can only be considered a stroke of luck.

After all, it was Jackal who truly started the all-out war, and the only company that confronted the Schicksal was the multinational pharmaceutical company, Shencheng Medicine. At the time, Gray Serpent, in accordance with the World Serpent's consistent style of covert operations, did not intervene in the war immediately in order to avoid causing a disturbance and to wait for the Lord's return. Instead, they chose to sever their ties with Shencheng Medicine to avoid being implicated further.

Gray Serpent's mistake was... he didn't expect Shencheng Medicine to fail so quickly, and he certainly didn't expect Jackal to surrender to Freya so soon.

This made Gray Serpent want to organize a counterattack immediately, but it didn't have time to relay orders to its subordinate organizations. World Serpent secret bases in various places were attacked at the same time. Many World Serpent members were still carrying out Gray Serpent's orders and were packing their belongings in preparation for fleeing when they were caught off guard.

This was a lucky victory.

A war that could have resulted in heavy losses for both sides, or a Pyrrhic victory for one side, ended with the Schicksal winning easily.

The intelligence delivered by the Gray Serpent clearly indicates that they will concentrate all their forces to attack Sea Abyss City.

As for whether it can be defended or not, if the strength of both sides is combined, it will naturally be able to be defended.

However, the price to be paid will certainly be extremely high.

Even if they could destroy the World Serpent, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy would lose more than half of their fighting strength in this meaningless struggle.

In a so-called civil war, regardless of whether a winner or loser is determined, both the living and the dead are losers.

"Using total war as a form of coercion? What a dirty tactic..."

Freya utterly despised the planner who devised this operation.

With the current combined strength of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, they are fully capable of withstanding the World Serpent's attack.

However, Freya had no desire for the three organizations to fight amongst themselves.

Regardless, Kiana is the acting leader of the World Serpent Organization, while I am the Acting Grand Bishop of the Schicksal, and my foolish little sister is the so-called Little Princess of the Anti-Entropy Organization.

If the three major organizations fighting against the Honkai could stand on the same side, the current civilization might not have suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Herrscher of Finality.

Not long after learning of this news from Cocolia, Freya convened an alliance meeting.

Now, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are almost merged, and their internal political structures have also changed to some extent. Anti-Entropy's executor system has been subject to more restrictions, and Schicksal's old high-ranking officials have all been transferred to the Senate. In addition, two new ruling classes, the Knights and the Bishops, have been created.

In the past, in order to develop rapidly, the Anti-Entropy organization gave its executors excessive freedom. This excessive freedom led to strong personal styles, resulting in extremists doing extremist things and conservatives doing conservative things. They did not interfere with each other, and even if some executors did extreme things, the Alliance Leader could not interfere.

After all, the past system of executors meant that each executor did their own thing, and they could cooperate or do whatever they wanted. Coupled with the principle of prohibiting mutual interference, this led to the internal split into so-called Conservatives and reformers.

Modern Anti-Entropy organizations do not need to develop rapidly, but rather need time to mature.

Although Welt did not abolish the Executor system, nor did he restrict the Executors' freedom, the Executors' actions were still restricted to a certain extent, and Executors were explicitly prohibited from planning extreme operations. If such actions were discovered, other Executors were also given the right to intervene.

Compared to the relatively unchanged system within Anti-Entropy, the political changes within Schicksal were more significant. First, the old high-ranking officials, aside from those who abused their power for personal gain, those who liked to meddle and use their privileges to oppress the weak, were either stripped of their positions by Freya or thrown into the Senate, leaving the new and old elders to fight for power.

Of course, the Senate itself had little real power, and even if it fought for power, it could not gain the power to influence the Mandate of Schicksal. Although it still had many interests, it ultimately could not influence the Mandate of Schicksal.

Freya is not afraid of high-ranking officials who abuse their power for personal gain. As long as their demands are met, even if they use their current position to make money, she can turn a blind eye.

Those who performed exceptionally well or were barely passable were directly promoted to bishops and placed under Theresa's direct jurisdiction.

After all, she is the one who is to inherit the position of Grand Bishop of Schicksal, and it would be beneficial for Schicksal's political system to obey her in the future.

Meanwhile, the Knights on the other side promoted elite Valkyrie belonging to the Apocalypse Knights.

The Schicksal has regular soldier units and mech units. In addition, the Schicksal's permanent Valkyrie units and multiple Valkyrie squad in various branches are the main military system of Schicksal.

The Knight rank was created to manage the military system.

And it is directly under Freya's jurisdiction.

In other words, Freya has gained control of the military power of the Schicksal.

Currently, only three knights have been promoted to the Knight rank: [Knight of Victory] Laguna, [Knight of Protection] Lewis, and [Shadow Knight] Number One.

The so-called "Number One" refers to the first Valkyrie of the secret unit. As Valkyrie has awakened Stigmata, her control over Honkai Energy has reached the atomic level, completely surpassing all existing Type-B Valkyrie.

He also serves as the leader of the Shadow Knight Order within the Apocalypse Knights, overseeing the secret forces, scavenger units, and intelligence departments incorporated into the Apocalypse Knights.

Her direct superior was Rita, who had not yet become Valkyrie.

The Knights are responsible for managing the Apocalypse Knights, but currently only the Shadow Knight Order have a complete legion structure, such as Laguna and Lewis... Without their own Valkyrie legions, their twenty-odd subordinates cannot be assembled into a regiment.

The so-called Knight rank is a title bestowed upon knights by Freya.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that her little sister belonged to the Anti-Entropy system, Freya would have wanted to give her the title of "Knight of Dawn".

Over the past six months, the military and political branches of the Schicksal have completed their separation, and their respective powers no longer overlap.

This prevents the recurrence of situations where researchers could arbitrarily access Valkyrie data, assign Valkyrie suicidal missions, and then steal her Valkyrie from the battlefield.

Even though Freya spends a lot of time in the laboratory, it doesn't mean she's given up managing the Schicksal.

A living seal has to work when it's time to work; it can't be a mascot forever. Freya never had any intention of competing with the other party for power.

While she does need this Schicksal, she doesn't mind building a powerful Guardian organization for them while using Schicksal to achieve her own goals.

Those who lack ability will be laid off, while those who are capable will be reassigned to assist them, allowing them to take full control of the organization's operations. A team of advisors will also be prepared for them. As long as they don't suddenly lose their minds, this powerful organization will fulfill their beliefs.

That being said, the meeting held in the conference room on the top floor of the central building of the main island of the Schicksal Floating Island, which was half demolished, was not attended by anyone except for a certain imposter.

Miss Kagemusha, number A-374, played with the stamp for a while, then looked at the empty desk with a sense of frustration and raised the projector.

All four of the Alliance's governors appeared as projections.

One is Freya, who hasn't even changed out of her white coat and is still in the lab reading reports; another is Theresa, who is nominally responsible for monitoring Otto, but actually just doesn't want to continue being the Seal; one is Welt, who is thinking about where to take his wife and children on vacation next week; and the last one is Tesla, who is thinking about how to spend his vacation with his husband and children next week.

Yeah, this league is doomed.

Compared to the other three, Freya, who seemed to be throwing the burden out to others, felt that she was the one who worked the hardest.

Although Rita now handles all the work for her, she is still the most diligent of the four.
