Chapter 307
My second sister, who is usually the most reliable, became the most unreliable in this situation.
"Second sister, I will get Rita and the others to join you as soon as possible..."
Although Aurora was often taken care of, Welt was always cultivating Aurora independence.
After all, Welt did indeed groom Aurora as his successor.
The title "Little Princess of Anti-Entropy" is not without reason.
Freya and Kiana wanted to marvel at their little sister's growth, but when they thought of their own experiences, they unconsciously lowered their heads.
"Second sister is in the Inca Republic now, right? Sister Rita and the others landed on an island, and because they were worried about you, they haven't taken any action today."
"Yes..."
Freya answered weakly.
Aurora puffed out her little chest with a touch of pride; she had always wanted the approval of her two older sisters.
Although her current ability to surpass her two older sisters is her independence, it also means that she has finally found a skill that surpasses her two older sisters.
It can only be said that Aurora's family education was outstanding, while Freya and Kiana simply found it easier to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity...
When Aurora was still the Little Princess of Anti-Entropy, Freya was the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal, and Kiana became the acting leader of World Serpent.
Perhaps standing at the top of an organization too early has deprived them of the practical skills to develop their own independent living abilities.
Of course, in Freya's words, since she can get others to move on her own, why would she need a bicycle? Oh no, why should she move on her own?
They were very self-righteous.
That's how it was originally.
It is only through comparison that harm is felt.
I originally thought it would be nice to let others do the work so I wouldn't have to.
But after this blunder during the exploration of the Sea of Quantum, Freya felt she should reflect on her actions and perhaps take some time to move around more.
To be honest, she had never done laundry before and didn't know how to start a washing machine. Well, all she knew was that front-loading washing machines were good at deduction.
Freya, who has absolutely no common sense, leaves everything to Rita.
It's only now that Freya realizes how much she depends on Rita. It can only be said that Freya's reaction is somewhat slow; she's too used to having Rita around every day.
In her consciousness space, Freya scratched her head, feeling that all her authority as the second eldest sister had vanished at this moment.
"...I think this is a great opportunity, Second Sister, why don't you try living alone first? Maybe you can surprise Sister Rita." Aurora proposed a brilliant idea.
After all, Rita and the others, who landed on an unknown island, certainly wouldn't be able to reach the Inca Republic and reunite with Freya in a short time.
Freya rolled her eyes.
She didn't think it was a good opportunity.
"By the way, Kiana... has World Serpent been on any big operations lately?"
As the strongest force in the alliance, only she can restrain Kevin of the World Serpent Organization.
Of course, because of SU, Freya knew about the complicated relationship between herself and Kevin that had continued from the Previous Civilization.
"Not for now, because researching new antibodies requires a lot of funding. World Serpent is currently maintaining its original mercenary work and is even sending in judges and Valkyrie from the Alliance to compete for business... so there are no major operations."
Kiana answered calmly.
Since the three of them transformed into the Herrscher of Finality, their consciousness space has no longer been limited by distance.
Freya never expected that she would be able to establish a connection with Kiana and Aurora in the main world from the Sea of Quantum.
Kiana's answer also diverted Aurora's attention.
Although Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have merged into a huge alliance, there are still distinctions between the Schicksal faction and the Anti-Entropy faction within the organization. They are two political systems within one organization. Aurora has her eye on the position of leader of the Anti-Entropy faction. She not only tries to imitate her adoptive father, but also learns from genius scientists such as her adoptive mother.
With her enormous ambitions Aurora naturally kept a close eye on the movements of the World Serpent Organization.
"The Judges, I remember each Judge was roughly equivalent to S-rank Valkyrie from the former Schicksal."
Although Freya was reluctant to admit this fact, her mother Cecilia undoubtedly became a combat unit of the new era.
"Yes, some of the Judges are mechanically modified. Many officers sacrifice their physical bodies in exchange for the ability to resist Honkai Energy, because there are more male members among the Judges."
"It doesn't matter. I know about the Judges. Although they are prone to causing a suspension bridge effect in battle, the Judges are basically immune to this because most of their bodies have been modified into machines."
"???"
Kiana was confused by Freya's words.
How did this become nonsense?
"Of course, thanks to the new antibodies provided by the Alliance, even male members can gain Honkai resistance. Although they are far less adaptable to Honkai Energy than female members, all the male members of the World Serpent Organization who were originally classified as outside the combat force have become regular combat forces... In terms of physical fitness and combat ability, men do have an advantage over women."
Because of the Soul Steel quantum computer that Kevin provided during the talks three years ago, Freya allowed the Alliance to trade new antibodies with the World Serpent Organization.
Although only the Alliance can manufacture the new antibodies, many male members of the World Serpent Organization who were originally unable to participate in the war have now been freed thanks to the Alliance's provision of a large number of new antibodies.
It's important to know that many men possess combat abilities far exceeding those of women, yet they are unable to fight Honkai Beast due to a lack of Honkai resistance.
Freya was well aware of the facts Kiana had stated.
Even within the alliance, many male members who were originally considered outside the standard are now regarded as regular combat forces.
In fact, after Raiden Ryoma gains Honkai resistance, even if his Honkai resistance is not high, he will be able to fight on the Honkai battlefield after wearing the Honkai Energy Protective Suit.
He personally used the Hokushin Itto-ryu to kill an Emperor Honkai.
Although an Emperor Honkai isn't considered powerful now that Emperor-class are becoming less valuable, the presence of male combatants on the battlefield does indeed boost morale.
That being said, St. Freya Academy is still an all-girls school, but in the academy city built on the outskirts of Changkong City, there is an academy that trains male combatants.
However, the new antibodies obtained by the World Serpent Organization are mainly used to assist the Stigmata Project, so most of their Judges still choose mechanical modification as a form of enhancement.
Due to a lack of relevant enhancement technologies and the selfishness of the ruling class, most of the new antibodies provided by the alliance were distributed to the behind-the-scenes rulers and tycoons.
Of course, those tycoons who secretly control the country can also obtain a batch of new antibodies through the Senate's channels.
"It seems the World Serpent is indeed planning something big..."
Freya was worried that news of her leaving the Alliance would be exposed, so she concealed the composition of the exploration team. The only people who knew she was in the exploration team were the First Research Institute and other governors, and a few related relatives.
However, Freya became suspicious after hearing Kiana say that the World Serpent Organization was not carrying out any major operations.
"Aurora, after you wake up, contact Cocolia and have her spread false information. Then have Ryoma launch a satellite to create the illusion that I'm still in the League."
"Second sister, do you want me to impersonate you?"
"... Forget it, it'll definitely give you away. You can't really impersonate me. It's better to give people the impression that I'm deliberately hiding."
Freya, who had been looked down upon by Aurora before, finally managed to regain some of her authority as the second sister.
"Oh..."
Aurora responded weakly.
In fact, the three people have very different temperaments.
If Aurora leans towards cuteness, and Kiana is somewhat aloof, then Freya's Saintess image leans towards gentleness, while the archon's image leans towards domineering...
Although Aurora can portray gentleness, she simply cannot show even a trace of domineering nature.
The evil dragon princess is still a dragon, and the cute Little Princess is still Little Princess.
Freya affectionately patted Aurora's little head.
Although this little girl had looked down on her before, Freya doted on this little sister the most.
Of course, it's never too late to retaliate.
"Sister, help! Second sister is going to pull my hair!!"
Aurora, who was being held by Freya, immediately understood what was happening and hurriedly called for help from Kiana was standing nearby.
Kiana, who had just been caught in Aurora's map attack, calmly ignored the scene.
Aurora's heart sank to the ground, then Freya hugged her tightly and rubbed her head vigorously, as if she wouldn't stop until she had rubbed the little head bald.
Aurora struggled for a moment, then looked utterly hopeless and let Freya play with her.
After fooling around for a while, Freya released Aurora, whose hair she had ruffled into a bird's nest, and gave her serious instructions.
"In any case, make these two things clear. Cocolia knows what false information I asked her to spread, and Mr. Ryoma knows which satellite to launch. You don't need to interfere with the rest. Sister Tesla and Mr. Welt both know."
The alliance is such a huge organization that it can no longer be run by just a few top officials.
Two political systems, each led by its own adjutant, control the entire alliance's operations, from logistical lifelines to military strength.
Military forces include Covert Mobile Force, intelligence agencies, the Apocalypse Knights, the Valkyrie Guild, and regular legions, while logistics and equipment include the Schicksal Weapon Research Department, including the Research Institute 1504, and the Anti-Entropy Research Department, including the Anti-Entropy First Research Institute.
Running the entire alliance is no longer something that can be accomplished by the three major families alone, as was the case during the Schicksal era, with Otto holding all the power in one person.
That being said, the alliance also implemented a centralized system, but the power was distributed to the governors and their deputies. However, some deputies did not actually have authority; they simply worked in place of those who truly had authority.
That's right, it's Theresa, the one who became the Grand Bishop of Schicksal.
Both of her adjutants had problems.
Both Amber and A-374 remain within Freya's purview of suspicion.
Even though Theresa was willing to open her heart to the two of them, Freya gave Rita the right to monitor them.
In fact, Freya did not hide the fact that she brought Rita to the Sea of Quantum this time, and she also had the idea of testing the two of them.
This is the perfect time for Otto to do whatever he wants.
While Rita is working alongside her, the Covert Mobile Force will be led by the vice-captain, Nameless, the Shadow Knight.
Although the other party was once manipulated by Otto and was a survivor of the Second Eruption War collected by Otto, Freya had already overwritten the other party's consciousness after she comprehended the power of the Herrscher of Consciousness.
Moreover, she also has a Dark Rose Squad directly under her and Rita.
"No matter what, we can't be too careful. We need to keep the Valkyrie Guild and the Titled Knight on our toes. I remember Laguna was the vice principal of the St. Freya Academy. I asked her to select a group of suitable Valkyrie to join her knight squad... Judging from the current strength of the Imaginary Invasion, the Third Herrscher might arrive sooner than expected. I remember that the Third Great Honkai was originally expected to occur in 2014, but now it may happen soon, two years earlier than anticipated."
Freya was worried that the World Serpent Organization would use the Third Great Honkai to cause trouble, but Otto deliberately pretended to be dead and hid.
The impending, premature Third Great Honkai was already causing her immense distress, not to mention the surging conspiracies unfolding behind the scenes.
350. What's going on here? This is my Qiluo Star...
Generally speaking, well-planned schemes will always encounter some uncontrollable factors, causing the plan to fall short of the changes.
Just like this exploration of the Sea of Quantum, the exploration team planned everything before setting off, but encountered an unexpected situation when they actually set off.
Just as Freya was intercepted by SU, Rita, Bianca, and Sophia were in a panic because they lost their own Saintess and still couldn't figure out their location.
Freya opened her eyes after leaving the space of consciousness.
It was a new day, and she woke up with her hair completely messy and white.
Because Rita wasn't by her side last night, it took her a long time... she even counted over a thousand Rita before finally falling asleep around 4 a. m., and was woken up again by the servants she controlled around 7 a. m., her face still showing signs of fatigue.
"... The terrible sleep was even worse than when I spent the night in the lab."
Freya couldn't help but complain.
She sometimes spent the night with Jackal in the lab, since much of her research couldn't be done without Jackal.
That being said, the furniture used in the small room of the research lab was also of the highest quality.
Although the villa where Freya is temporarily staying belongs to a very wealthy man, compared to Freya who has an alliance, he is not even qualified to reach her feet.
Freya, who was too used to her living environment, encountered difficulties during her first mission away from the Alliance.
Of course, she didn't have this strange disease of affluence when she was young.
Freya thought about it carefully and realized that she had become so 'spoiled' because she had a perfect maid by her side. Under the maid's meticulous care, she was heading in the direction of becoming unable to take care of herself.
No, it should be said that she was sitting in a handcart, being pushed around by this perfect maid.
The effects of not getting enough sleep are enormous.
First of all, my appetite has decreased significantly.
In addition, the servants she controlled were unlikely to prepare any delicious breakfasts.
Then, as if in a chain reaction, I accidentally pulled out several strands of hair while combing it, and my hairstyle was still a mess. Although I changed into a new outfit, the fabric of the new clothes felt very cheap...
For Freya, this must have been the worst morning ever.
