I Became a Saintess at Schicksal: A Mere Cross-Dress Is Nothing
Whether it's Mind Plague or Meme Attack, its main purpose is to pull a person's consciousness into a 'dream' that Freya creates, so that Freya can then control the other person through the 'dream'.
This is also Freya's first step in her plan to save the world.
Tesla knew something about Freya's plans, but in reality, Freya had taken too big a step. Now, countries around the world are feeling the danger, and many high-ranking officials have made rather cruel suggestions.
Faced with Freya's intractable Mind Plague, the higher-ups suggested, as in ancient times, that the infected patients be gathered together and then burned to ashes.
They believed that as long as these sources of infection were eliminated, the Mind Plague could be completely eradicated.
Although they did not intend to use nuclear bombs to bombard the country, they planned to drop incendiary bombs on several of the cities most severely affected by the infection.
Tesla naturally wanted to tell Freya the news immediately, but for now, she felt it was better to let Theresa have a better grasp of the situation. Otherwise, given Theresa's plan to organize a subjugation team to subjugate the Herrscher from another world, it might anger the person involved.
Tesla had no idea whether Freya had a good relationship with Theresa from her original world.
After all, they are both adopted granddaughters of Apocalypse, and both have the right to inherit the Schicksal. Perhaps in that world, their relationship has become quite strained because of the inheritance rights.
Tesla believes that Freya didn't Theresa, perhaps for this very reason.
She quickly introduced Theresa to the current 'master' of the Schicksal Headquarters, and where she, Welt, Einstein, and the others had been during this time.
Meanwhile, Kiki and Mei were adding their own comments, as they were worried that the not-so-bright Theresa might anger the other party.
After much persuasion from Tesla and Kiki, Theresa finally gave up on bringing up the idea of forming a punitive squad in front of the person involved... She was also glad that she brought it up early, otherwise it would have been really awkward if she had.
Theresa also learned about the identity of this otherworldly Herrscher from the documents Tesla sent her.
"... She comes from a parallel world, and is known to the outside world as Kiana Apocalypse. Her real name is Freya Schariac. She is Herrscher with multiple Herrscher abilities, as well as the Alliance's Schicksal Saintess and a high-level researcher."
As Theresa repeated the keywords from the document, her small face showed even more confusion.
"Putting aside the name Kiana Apocalypse, why is her real name Freya Schariac? Shouldn't she be Kiana?"
"Headmaster, Freya is a clone created by Bishop Otto, just like me."
Kiki quickly replied that although Tesla knew about this, she didn't record it. After all, in Tesla's view, this identity involved privacy. She had agreed to the dissemination of the other identities, but she neither objected nor agreed to the fact that she was a clone. Therefore, Tesla felt it was best to minimize the recording of this aspect.
"Little girl, don't overthink it. That Herrscher lady probably doesn't want people to keep dwelling on this. However, considering her status, she is indeed qualified to be Miss Kiki's older sister."
"Kiki? That's a nice nickname."
Theresa also knows that the current Kiana probably cannot accept the name Kiana.
Especially after her clone identity was exposed, she became even more aware that she was just an imposter and had even caused the death of Teacher Himeko. The continuous blows made her more willing to accept the very ordinary nickname 'Kiki'.
This nickname, consisting of only the two characters 'Kiki,' lacks Kaslana's convictions, her father's concern, and the heavy responsibility of being Kiana Kaslana. Instead, it makes her feel quite relaxed.
In fact, even Mei prefers to call her by the nickname Kiki.
"I never imagined so much would have happened during this time..."
Theresa instinctively uttered a sigh, but was immediately met with calm, slightly disdainful gazes from Tesla and Einstein.
After all, the document had been sent to her a week ago, but she only just saw it now, and only after Tesla reminded her.
According to the other party's original plan, they would form a team to rush in front of the Herrscher of the Other World, and then raise the Judas' Oath and smash it directly, which was full of recklessness.
Is it really true that they are of Kaslana blood? They perfectly embody the phrase "rushing forward like a pig."
"Yes, I originally just went to Sky City to investigate the Honkai Beast anomalies, but then Freya suddenly appeared out of the sky."
Kiki said with a smile.
When Mei was standing next to her, saw the smile on Kiki's face, she subconsciously smiled as well.
Since Himeko- sensei's sacrifice, the once happy girl has lost her joy.
On the one hand, her personality became more mature and stable, but on the other hand, she lost her original innocence.
Although she still rarely smiles, Mei sees hope—the hope that the happy girl she once was will return.
"Ah, ah, I really have to thank Freya- neechan..."
Although the other person was younger than her in both real age and appearance, Mei, like Kiki, called her Freya- neechan.
"After Freya appeared, she really changed a lot of things. Sky City was destroyed because of her, but it also exposed the relationship between Shencheng Medicine and the World Serpent Organization. Although she later launched Meme Attack online and spread Mind Plague in reality... her purpose in coming to this world was to save it, but her methods were a bit too radical."
Although Freya's actions suggest she's merely trying out her own methods to save the world, Kiki believes that even if this parallel world were just a mock exam, Freya would still give it her all.
If even she failed despite giving it her all, it only proves that confronting the Honkai -on is simply not a viable option.
"Kiki, do you call her methods 'a little too radical'?"
Theresa was unwilling to talk much about her experiences abroad during this time. Countless countries began to close roads and lock down cities. In some extreme countries in the Middle East, flamethrowers were used to eliminate the 'plague' in town after town.
This is why Theresa wanted to quickly assemble a task force. She made the request to Tesla more than once, but each time Tesla refused, saying that Welt had suffered a severe injury from Kevin, the leader of the World Serpent, and was now resting in the Anti-Entropy base.
Of course, Tesla refuted Theresa's proposal half a month ago, when it was at the end of the narcolepsy outbreak and when the number of victims reached ten million. Around the same time, Tesla also discovered Freya hiding on a small island in the South.
Then, accompanied by Einstein and Welt, she had a 'friendly' conversation with Freya, the Herrscher from another world.
Afterwards, Einstein, Welt, and Tesla had a disagreement about their positions because of Freya, and they were even discussing it yesterday.
After all, whether or not to attack Freya could affect the entire Anti-Entropy organization. And with various communication devices potentially being implanted with Meme Attack, they are unable to quickly contact their subordinates, and thus cannot unify the power of Anti-Entropy in a short period of time.
Tesla's reason for opposing the fight was simple: even if all the forces of Anti- Anti-Entropy were united, they still couldn't defeat Freya.
Before they could reach a conclusion, the World Serpent froze, and Schicksal was in someone else's hands.
Tesla glared at Theresa, thinking that the little girl was courting death.
"Little girl, you must remember, no matter what our original plan was, we have already lost. Even if Freya wants to be the president of all mankind, we can only vote for her."
Emotionally speaking, Tesla would definitely support Freya. She really enjoyed listening to Freya talk about her married life with Welt in a parallel world, since in this world, she and Welt hadn't yet reached that future.
In the parallel world, she not only married Welt, but also received many blessings from friends. The wedding cake was huge, the diamond ring Welt gave her was not cheap, and most importantly, she had a very well-behaved adopted daughter.
Tesla of this world was so envious that he wished he could glare at Welt with resentful eyes every day.
Welt was helpless in the face of this.
Although he also enjoyed listening to Freya tell stories of daily life in parallel worlds, there were still many things he couldn't let go of. For example, right now, as he stepped onto the Schicksal Headquarters, he was thinking about how humanity in this world had finally faced its 'final choice'.
The fate of this world is now entirely determined by that Herrscher from another world.
423. What does it matter if it's just women's clothing?
In the reception room of Schicksal Headquarters, Theresa and Welt's group met Freya.
To be precise, their attention only lingered on Freya for a very short time before being immediately drawn to the man dressed in women's clothing next to them, with a whiteboard in front of him bearing the words "Reflecting on My Actions."
That's right, this man is Otto Apocalypse.
At this moment, the man dressed as a woman rushed into the reception room and smiled at the group.
"..."
Faced with this bizarre scene, Theresa and Welt's group became very quiet.
Why is she dressed as a woman? Why is there a whiteboard hanging there? Why is she all smiles?
At this moment, many doubts arose in the minds of Theresa, Welt, and the others.
"My lovely Theresa, you're finally back!"
The one who broke the silence was Otto, who had a smile on his face.
"...grandfather?"
Theresa looked at Otto, who was smiling, dressed in women's clothing, and had a whiteboard hanging on his back, yet seemed to be behaving as usual, and her thoughts became increasingly chaotic.
"Grandpa, are you being manipulated?! Why are you dressed as a woman? No, why are you wearing that whiteboard? No, no, why can you still laugh even when you're being treated like this?! Are you being manipulated by that Herrscher?!"
Freya, who was quietly eating an apple and looking on with amusement, also had many doubts after hearing Theresa's flustered reply.
What does Otto's cross-dressing, smiling face, and self-reflection have to do with her? It's not like she forced Otto to do this. In fact, the culprit who didn't change out of the Valkyrie outfit he wore when he stole clothes last night and hung up the whiteboard with the words "reflecting" written on it is the person who looks like she's being persecuted.
So, by what right do you smear someone's innocence!
Freya felt the veins near her temples throbbing.
She never imagined that one day she would be provoked by a mascot like Theresa, and even in a parallel world, it still surprised her.
Just as Freya believed that each Otto in a parallel world should be an increasingly scoundrel, each Theresa in a parallel world should be an increasingly suitable mascot...
Otto noticed Freya's emotional fluctuations and then explained with a smile.
"My lovely Theresa, you've misunderstood. This is just me showing my sincerity to the Herrscher."
"???"
"???"
Hearing Otto's explanation only made Theresa more confused.
Welt, who had originally intended to observe from the sidelines, also showed a puzzled expression after hearing the explanation.
"I say, Your Excellency, why do we need you to cross-dress to show sincerity? Is this your interest, or Freya's?"
Tesla glanced at Freya, who had taken a couple of bites of her apple and looked bored, and asked curiously.
Researchers are known for their strong curiosity, and she was very curious about what happened last night and why Freya was able to give orders in place of Otto.
Kiki, who was completely dumbfounded, obviously couldn't ask Freya that question.
"It's my personal interest..."
Despite being seen in women's clothing by his nemesis and his own granddaughter, Otto remained remarkably calm, wearing the same gentle smile that Theresa remembered.
"Last night, I had some discussions with the Herrscher and we finally reached an agreement. We will cooperate with the Herrscher's plan to save the world. During the cooperation, the Herrscher will have the same power as me."
Upon hearing Otto's words, Theresa, needless to say, and even Welt and Tesla were drawn to the plan he was talking about.
With the World Serpent Organization defeated, the only forces capable of challenging Freya are the Schicksal and the Anti-Entropy Organization. However, even with all their might, the Anti-Entropy Organization is no match for Freya.
The Anti-Entropy organization is indeed capable of fighting Freya, but only in terms of fighting against her.
Welt and his group had always been interested in Freya's plan, but previously, Anti-Entropy's stance was unclear. Welt, Einstein, and most of the Anti-Entropy members were inclined to fight against the Herrscher of the other world to the end.
After all, judging from Freya's act of releasing the Mind Plague, she is clearly not a kind Herrscher.
Although Anti-Entropy is not a cult of human racism, otherworldly Herrscher like Freya, who pose a great threat to humanity, are bound to become targets of many of Anti-Entropy's enforcers.
However, Tesla suppressed these voices within the organization.
Tesla's previous argument against Welt and Einstein was simply that even if they combined all the power of the Anti-Entropy organization, they would still be unable to defeat them... At best, they could die with dignity.
Now that Otto is about to recount Freya's plan, Welt and Einstein are naturally very interested.
However, the two of them waited for a long time, blinking repeatedly, but Otto did not continue speaking.
Just as if the novel's content had suddenly stopped at its most crucial point, Welt and Einstein waited and waited, until finally, somewhat impatiently, they asked.
"Wait a minute, Bishop Otto, is that all?"
"What happens next?!"
Otto, who was smiling at his increasingly confused granddaughter, heard Welt and Einstein urging him on, and his smile widened. He shrugged and said...
"Why ask me? If anyone knows the most about this plan to save the world, it's naturally the Herrscher herself. Why would I do something so unromantic as to spoil the plot before Herrscher reveals the answer to you?"
After saying that, Otto gave Welt a charmingly disdainful look, which immediately gave Welt goosebumps.
Perhaps Otto himself didn't mean it that way, but one thing has to be said: he is indeed very suitable for Valkyrie costume.
In short, she has the image of a majestic and imposing older sister.
Incidentally, Valkyrie with this appearance were quite popular in Freya's original world. After all, the Alliance's Valkyrie are more easily attracted by Valkyrie's power than by those who are obsessed with appearances.
Tall, strong Valkyrie are generally associated with strength.
Of course, a few gifted individuals like Bianca cannot be perceived as powerful simply by their appearance.
That being said, although she doesn't exude the same strong sense of security as Captain Lewis, Bianca still enjoys immense popularity among the Valkyrie thanks to her own strength.
Perhaps her becoming a spoiled child is also related to this kind of environment.
After all, he was always surrounded by people who flattered him and said nice things to please him.
Moreover, at only 12 years old, she became Titled Knight, not only breaking the record for the youngest titled Valkyrie, but also being one of the strongest Valkyrie among the Sealed Rank. Therefore, she received Freya's attention and care, which explains why Bianca became arrogant.
However, in Freya's original world, Otto's image was basically associated with strength, and many Valkyrie squad had such a 'big sister'.
Not only Welt got goosebumps, but Tesla and Einstein also got goosebumps, and the two instinctively hid behind Welt.
Theresa, standing to the side, seemed to have been electrocuted, completely dumbfounded.
