Chapter 280
In fact, Otto was provided with the blueprints for the manufacture of firearms, but when you manufactured the firearms, you found that there were no bullets. What use are firearms if there are no bullets?
Otto, who relinquished the entire Schicksal, naturally also relinquished Schicksal's database.
After his investigation, Einstein discovered that many scientific and technological advancements were too advanced and lacked intermediate technologies to support the overall system.
Take, for example, the technology to miniaturize Honkai Energy Reactor. If the Alliance had mastered this technology six months ago, no, even three months ago, the outcome of the Abyssal War would have been different, and Freya wouldn't have needed to fight so desperately.
Although the public narrative claims that the Third Great Honkai occurred on an uninhabited island overseas, in reality, the aftermath of Freya's battle with her ancestor caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people in coastal cities around the world. This number may seem small on a global scale, but Freya still feels a great responsibility and actively seeks to compensate the affected families.
"That bastard..."
Freya gritted her teeth at the thought that Otto had hidden such important technology.
Tesla nodded helplessly.
"Yes, if we had obtained the technology to miniaturize Honkai Energy Reactor earlier, the outcome of the Abyssal War would have been different, and so many unexpected events wouldn't have occurred..."
Because Aurora underwent the same changes, Tesla immediately took her for Aurora returning to the Far East. Although the results were all normal, Tesla was still very worried.
Freya raised an eyebrow slightly.
There were some things she didn't tell Tesla.
In fact, the inspection results Tesla received were fake.
Whether it's her, Aurora, or Kiana who just returned, their bodies have all undergone some irreversible changes after becoming Herrscher Transformation.
First, there's their adaptability to Honkai Energy. They were originally far beyond the level of ordinary people, after all, all three of them possessed Kaslana's bloodline, but now it's more like the Herrscher' adaptability to Honkai Energy.
Previously, the body's constitution was characterized by immunity and resistance; now it's about acceptance and absorption...
For the three sisters, there was never any possibility of being killed by Honkai Energy. Now, Honkai Energy will only become nourishment for the three sisters.
What they possess is less Honkai Antibody and more a mutated Honkai factor, which allows Honkai Energy to perfectly integrate with cells.
"..."
Freya did this naturally to reduce Tesla's unnecessary concerns, and she also got Welt's approval.
322. We'll gang up on Otto then.
Otto's offer was very tempting, so it was hard to refuse his two demands.
Freya could only temporarily put aside the two things Otto had asked for, and wait until Einstein Honkai Energy Reactor miniaturization technology before deciding whether to make the deal.
As soon as the meeting ended, Freya immediately opened a portal and left.
Her anxious appearance amused Welt, Tesla, and the others, but also brought them a sense of relief.
"Tesla, look, Freya values Kiana very much and still dotes on Aurora as always. As long as Kiana and Aurora are still around, she will not become the trigger for destroying the world."
"I never suspected Freya... I was just worried that she was hiding something..."
Perhaps having successfully swept away their melancholy, both Welt and Tesla were in a very cheerful mood at this moment.
Theresa watched the two entering into a sweet atmosphere and could only end the call with a wry smile.
Theresa's double, A-374, quickly gathered the documents in front of her and left the conference room, just like Theresa, not wanting to witness the elderly couple's public display of affection.
Freya arrives at the medical center through the portal and finds Rita. Guided by Rita, she arrives at the VIP luxury ward and meets Kiana she hasn't seen in the real world for two months.
As for Siegfried, who had become a one-armed hero, Freya ignored him.
Freya stepped forward and hugged her older sister tightly, showering her with concern and care.
Perhaps because she had hurt her father, Kiana felt extremely guilty and lost a lot of weight while taking care of Siegfried.
Seeing her young lady looking so haggard, Freya naturally blamed Siegfried first.
Siegfried could only respond with a wry smile.
Siegfried, the one-armed hero, had tried to comfort Kiana, but Siegfried alone was not enough to soothe Kiana.
Whether it's the spilled power injuring Siegfried, or the possibility that he himself might be the Herrscher of Finality in the current civilization era, these are not problems that Siegfried alone can handle.
Siegfried knew what his daughter was hiding, but how could he force the other party if his daughter wouldn't speak up? As a father who had reformed, all he could do was stay by his daughter's side and face everything with her.
However, after Freya hugged Kiana, Siegfried noticed that Kiana's tense body suddenly relaxed.
Before long, Kiana, overcome with weariness, fell asleep in Freya's arms.
Freya also took this opportunity to learn about the internal situation of the World Serpent from Siegfried.
With Kevin Kaslana's return, World Serpent have turned their fortunes around.
It is clear that the target that the alliance and various countries have been pursuing is not the real weakness of the World Serpent Organization.
Freya was also somewhat relieved that she had chosen to fight to the death in the final Abyssal War.
It was precisely because Freya almost dragged Kevin down with her at the end of the Abyssal War that the World Serpent Organization did not dare to directly provoke the Alliance.
After all, Freya's current impression on the World Serpent Organization is that of 'crazy'.
Even when the World Serpent Organization finally bares its fangs and its true core members begin to gather under Kevin's command, they still have no intention of fighting against a madman.
Not to mention the Gray Serpent, who has a psychological trauma from Freya.
Freya's performance in the Abyssal War also made the World Serpent Organization unwilling to be her enemy.
So, just as Welt was making contact with Gray Serpent through Cocolia, Gray Serpent, on the other hand, proposed negotiations in the name of the true leader of the World Serpent.
It is hoped that the three major organizations will hold a meeting at the table for negotiations.
After agreeing on the time and place for the negotiations, Welt took the initiative to contact Otto, since Otto was also involved in the various accidents that occurred during the Abyssal War.
Not to mention that Otto was originally just conducting his resurrection experiments honestly, Welt and the others could temporarily ignore his past actions. But Otto just couldn't stay quiet and betrayed the Alliance during the most important stage of the Abyssal War. So, Otto had to participate in this negotiation for both moral and logical reasons.
Over the next few days, Siegfried received treatment using the Alliance's most advanced medical equipment.
Top researchers such as Einstein, Tesla, Planck, Ryoma, and Jackal collaborated to create the mechanical prosthesis for Siegfried.
Kiana, accompanied by her two younger sisters, managed to get a few peaceful nights of sleep, a rare treat.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The two most powerful forces in the world today are now facing a so-called day of negotiations.
"Haa..."
Freya opened her eyes at 5 a. m. and instinctively hugged the petite body next to her.
The feeling of hugging one's own lady is different from the feeling of hugging one's own adjutant. After all, one's own adjutant is more fleshy to hug... After all, a certain part of him has developed quite noticeably, and he himself is becoming more and more feminine, with an irresistible charm in every move.
"Freya?"
Kiana was immediately startled awake by the sudden hug.
To be honest, I've been sleeping soundly these past few days, but I wake up with body aches every day.
All I can say is that my two younger sisters are really unruly when they sleep. The worst part is that they have a habit of hugging people randomly. Even now... my little sister is still clinging tightly to her leg and drooling unconsciously.
"Aurora, Aurora, wake up!"
Kiana shook Aurora's petite body, but it was clearly still the time when Aurora was fast asleep. The pampered Aurora always slept an extra half hour, let alone woke up this early.
For a moment, Kiana was also stumped.
"Freya, wake Aurora up for me too..."
"Let her sleep. She has nothing to do with today's negotiations, and she's under a lot of pressure anyway."
Freya held Kiana tightly as well, showing no sign of waking up.
For Freya, who possesses the ability to teleport, distance is never a problem; she doesn't need to arrive at her destination half a day in advance like Welt or Otto.
Perhaps because Freya knew that Kiana would leave again after this negotiation, both she and Aurora became very clingy.
Of course, when it comes to being clingy, Freya Aurora.
Freya rarely admired others, but when it came to being clingy, she admired Aurora immensely.
However, the younger sister was not always innocent; she also carried a burden that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.
Perhaps to others, "Little Princess Anti-Entropy" is just a title, or even a title with a joking connotation, but to Aurora, it is a responsibility.
Aurora really wanted to participate in the negotiations, but the participants in this negotiation were Kevin, Welt, Otto, and Freya.
But in other people's eyes, she is just a cute little girl, still just a child.
"Kiana, don't underestimate this girl. She might be the smartest one among the three sisters..." Freya's hand reached over Kiana's waist and landed on Aurora's head.
As she stroked it, she continued, "My achievements are great, but they are inseparable from the Jackal, as well as my own adaptability to the Honkai."
After all, judging from the unexpected events that occurred during the Abyssal War, Kiana is currently the Herrscher of Finality in the current civilization era, and she is the Herrscher of Finality's backup body.
When the backup body develops its own ideas, it naturally feels like it has divine assistance.
From a certain perspective, the Herrscher of Finality is the agent of Honkai Consciousness, and is of a higher level than other Herrscher.
As long as the Honkai Consciousness does not directly interfere, the Herrscher of Finality has the ability to absolutely control Honkai Energy within a certain range.
"Aurora learned a lot through her own efforts, and she firmly held the top spot overall among the 13th batch of freshmen in the chaotic world."
Freya herself was forced into the role of the so-called Acting Grand Bishop by Otto, and there was a sense that she was coerced into it.
The younger sister had the best environment, and her adoptive parents never forced her to become an outstanding person, but in the end, she still chose to take responsibility.
"Yes, she's working very hard... Although she rarely says it, Aurora is working very hard..."
Kiana smiled and reached out to pat her little sister's head.
"According to you, Aurora is the smartest of the three sisters, but do you know who is the hardest-working and gentlest of the three sisters?"
Kiana turned and hugged Freya, her gaze softening as she looked at the girl who suddenly smiled shyly.
"... I'm sorry for making you do something you don't like. Are you still feeling guilty for those who tragically died in the Abyssal War? That wasn't your fault..."
"Huh? I feel guilty? I..." Freya tried to explain, but her forced smile couldn't last three seconds under Kiana's gaze. Freya lamented, "I should have been able to devise a better plan. If I had taken Otto into account back then, I could have stopped the Ancestor from returning to the mortal world. The World Serpent wouldn't be in such a troublesome situation now. With the Alliance dominating, we could have curbed the ambitions of the ruling classes of various countries, which would have been beneficial in the fight against the Honkai..."
"For me and Aurora?" Kiana asked with an amused look.
Perhaps at the beginning, this younger sister was indeed only working hard for her and Aurora, but when she stood at the top of the organization and also learned about the masses from the bottom, her heart had already undergone some changes.
That is why Freya's hatred for the World Serpent Organization is so immense.
It wasn't just because of Kevin's influence, but because of the tragedies that the World Serpent Organization has caused around the world.
His lieutenant, Raven, was just that kind of person.
The disaster caused by the Second Eruption War can be attributed to Bishop Otto, but the famine and ugliness that followed were caused not only by ambitious individuals, but also by the World Serpent Organization, which secretly fanned the flames.
Raven was chosen by the Gray Serpent on her journey to escape famine. Although she survived, she was forced to separate from her brother. This was both a blessing and a tragedy.
"... And haven't you also been unknowingly carrying more and more burdens?"
Kiana patted Freya's head.
She was glad she left Schicksal, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to mature so quickly.
Although Kiana is only eleven years old, her experience far surpasses that of ordinary people.
After all, no child becomes the leader of a huge organization at the age of nine, especially one riddled with problems and on the verge of collapse.
Although Freya also became the leader of a huge organization at around nine years old, she always had people by her side and many outstanding people helping her, so she had a smooth life, unlike Kiana who had to worry about all sorts of things every day.
On one side is the thriving Schicksal of Heaven, and on the other is the stagnation of the World Serpent.
The pressure they face is naturally different from each other. On the other hand, Kiana, as the older sister, also has to resist the suppression from her younger sister. Although the suppression is not directly aimed at Kiana, the World Serpent Organization will immediately collapse if she is not careful.
Moreover, Kiana follows a development path that utilizes the power of emotions, making her more sensitive to emotions.
"The ones who really need comforting are you and Aurora, but you two are the ones who want to comfort me first." Kiana couldn't possibly miss Aurora and Freya's strange behavior over the past two weeks.
Freya blushed when Kiana pointed it out directly.
"No, that's not true. I did those things because I wanted to, it just happened to be convenient... Alright, it's time to get up, or we'll miss the negotiations."
"The negotiations are in the afternoon. Mr. Welt and his group set off half a day earlier, but you, with your spatial teleportation ability, can clearly be half a day later. In any case, your adjutant has already gone ahead for you."
Seeing Freya sit up abruptly, Kiana tore away Freya's 100% arrogant and 0% coquettish facade with a mischievous grin.
The second sister, who is cunning and sharp-tongued, is actually a good girl who is 100% arrogant on the outside but 100% spoiled on the inside.
Kiana is proud to have such a sister.
