Chapter 384
Tesla said somewhat guiltily.
The World Serpent Organization was engulfed in civil war due to a new member. This was a problem that Freya had been building up for World Serpent organization, and the new member's actions directly led to World Serpent organization's destruction.
The World Serpent Organization now consists only of its leader and some core members, as well as the Ice-bound Serpent, a diplomatic organization established by the acting leader.
It has to be said that Freya is no less cunning than that bastard bishop when it comes to scheming against others.
In fact, if this new member hadn't ignited the spark ahead of time, the World Serpent Organization probably wouldn't have been able to retain even most of its core members in the end.
Even so... most members of the World Serpent Organization chose to withdraw. This organization, which started with faith, had to go into hiding at its peak due to the disappearance of its leader. During its 1,500-year hiatus, it witnessed the rise and fall of countless organizations, but unexpectedly, it was pushed into the abyss by the two founders of this organization.
This is also why Tesla feels guilty.
On the surface, it was Kevin and the newly joined member SU who led the World Serpent organization to its destruction, but in reality, the World Serpent organization's problems were growing day by day.
The members who were originally united by faith were almost all wiped out in the Battle of the Abyss. Because of the suppression by Schicksal and various countries, those members had long accumulated a lot of resentment and pressure. Under the terrible living conditions, they inevitably developed disloyalty. Also, because of the corruption of faith, many members became illogical fanatics...
Gray Serpent intended to use the Alliance to eliminate these members, but in the end, the Abyss War initiated by Freya and Kevin did achieve Gray Serpent's goal, but it also weakened World Serpent's strength to the extreme.
Subsequently, in order to strengthen the World Serpent Organization, Gray Serpent adopted an unconventional approach to recruiting new members. As a result, many of the members who joined the World Serpent Organization were mercenaries who lost their jobs due to Schicksal and Freya, as well as former Anti-Entropy or former Schicksal researchers who transferred their hatred for Otto to Freya.
This resulted in the Gray Serpent recruiting new members of low quality, and they themselves did not have much respect for Kevin, the leader of the World Serpent.
In the past, the World Serpent Organization was centered on faith. Even for the Gray Serpent, maintaining the faith of its members required a lot of time for brainwashing and education, as well as talking to influential people about ideals and careers.
The World Serpent Organization, which originally existed dormant in human history, had the resources, or rather, the prestige, but the World Serpent Organization today has no such connections.
In order to avoid being implicated by the terrorist organization World Serpent, many members of World Serpent completely severed their ties with their original organization when Schicksal led various countries in hunting down World Serpent. Even though World Serpent is now working hard to gradually restore its reputation, just as the saying goes, it only takes a lot of effort to spread rumors and a lot of running around to refute them.
Many new members who joined the World Serpent Organization did not immediately receive the treatment they wanted, and most importantly, Freya was also stirring up trouble, which exacerbated this hidden problem.
SU's first move after joining the World Serpent Organization was to ignite this hidden problem.
Although the World Serpent Organization was severely damaged by the bombing, it has managed to escape its predicament. However, few of World Serpent members remain, and even if it recruits new members, it will still encounter the same problem of infiltrating its ranks.
After the new members helped Kevin resolve the internal strife within the organization, they suggested that Kevin and the remaining core members join Freya.
It was precisely because SU enjoyed Kevin's deep trust that Kevin did not ask too many questions, but simply accepted him and gave him great power, allowing him the privilege of deciding a person's fate on his own.
In summary, the reason for the sudden destruction of World Serpent was actually planted by Freya when she was recruiting new members for the World Serpent organization.
Therefore, Tesla's concerns are not unfounded; no one can guarantee that Kevin won't break off relations at this point.
After all, the World Serpent Organization, whose situation was gradually improving, was ultimately lured into the abyss by the 'grains of sand' planted by Freya. If it weren't for the addition of this new member, Freya might have been able to push the World Serpent Organization into the abyss with little effort, leaving them with no chance of recovery...
If we're talking about the culprits, those who were bribed by Freya would definitely bear the majority of the responsibility. After all, in order to deceive Kevin, Freya neither used any Herrscher of Consciousness power nor sought out any confidants; she simply spent money.
In fact, Freya initially bribed many people, some of whom betrayed Freya, and some did not accept Freya bribes, but none of this affected Freya's plan.
The problem with World Serpent always been that it can't provide the life and goals that World Serpent members want.
It goes without saying that the hatred for Otto extends to the hatred for Freya and the Alliance. Within the World Serpent organization, there is a girl named Freya Kaslana. Not only does she possess the same appearance as Kiana Apocalypse, but she is also a disciple of the World Serpent leader and the leader of the diplomatic organization, the Ice-bound Serpent.
If you were to ask which department within the World Serpent Organization is the most popular and offers the best benefits, it would undoubtedly be the Ice-bound Serpent is secretly supported by Freya.
With her giving her sister preferential treatment, the Ice-bound Serpent has a huge advantage in both trade and diplomacy.
However, these advantages could not be converted into favorable conditions for the World Serpent Organization. Rather, because Freya continued to suppress the World Serpent, the members of the World Serpent Organization did not receive the treatment they had imagined.
After saying all that, Tesla became increasingly worried about what would happen after Freya met Kevin.
Recounting her encounters with Kevin, Freya didn't exchange a single word with him upon meeting Kevin, who had just left Sea Abyss City, before beating him to a pulp... The subsequent meeting was a desperate struggle to suppress the urge to fight Kevin to the death again.
Even earlier, when Freya and Kevin met in the form of consciousness, they also fought fiercely in that consciousness space.
That was also the origin of Freya's first attempt at fusing Herrscher power, giving birth to the illogical attack [Super Herrscher Collapse].
"I don't think a fight will break out."
Although Einstein said this, she herself was equally uncertain.
Welt and Ryoma, who overheard the two talking quietly, also showed signs of worry.
"Given the strength of this airport, it probably can't withstand a fight between these two."
Welt knew very well the terrifying power that the clash between Freya and Kevin, these two 'monsters' who surpassed the Herrscher, would bring.
If the two of them go all out, the land in the Far East will instantly slide into the trench, and at least half of the continent of Shenzhou, the nearest part of the land, will also sink.
To be honest, when the World Serpent Organization came to surrender, if it weren't for a World Serpent executive who claimed to have sent Freya to a parallel world speaking on behalf of Kevin, they would have all thought Kevin, who arrived at the Alliance headquarters in silence, was there to start a war.
After all, at that time, although Bianca, Rita, and Sophia successfully escaped the Sea of Quantum, and with the help of a mysterious person, Bianca obtained a world-class armor, Freya still had not escaped the Sea of Quantum.
In fact, after Freya was teleported away, she did not go to the World Bubble where Bianca and the others had been.
Based on the clues from that 'kind' mysterious person, they learned that Freya had been sent to a parallel world.
Now, a World Serpent executive who claims to have sent Freya to a parallel world has suddenly appeared, and Welt and the others have naturally come to greet him personally.
After all, after Freya disappeared, they had Aurora impersonate Freya.
Although Freya rarely appears in front of others after abandoning martial arts for research and politics, she still occasionally has a meal with the Valkyrie.
To cover up Freya's disappearance, Aurora spent a considerable amount of time honing her acting skills.
Of course, they didn't fool the Valkyrie at all.
The information revealed by this World Serpent executive naturally attracted the attention of Welt and others. However, after making eye contact with Kevin at close range, Welt did not think he had any hope of defeating him.
That was an oppressive feeling far exceeding that of Judgment-class Honkai Beast; in fact, the so-called Judgment-class Honkai Beast seemed like infants just learning to walk in front of him.
Even the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast that has recently given the Alliance some headaches is only better at escaping. Although its strength is indeed greater than many elite-level Humanoid Honkai Beast, it is ultimately no match for the encirclement and suppression of several Sealed Rank Valkyrie.
However, in front of this silent 'monster,' even Sealed Rank Valkyrie is no different from a baby who has just learned to walk.
Even Bianca, who accompanied them, immediately took out her newly acquired world-class armor, the Innate Star Anchor.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding about attacking the alliance was dispelled by the real Kiana and a new executive named SU.
That being said, this kind of behavior, which is tantamount to transporting nuclear weapons to a country's border, is indeed easy to cause misunderstandings.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, SU, representing Kevin and the remaining members of the World Serpent, surrendered to the Alliance, which caused quite a stir within the Alliance.
During the negotiations, Welt also sensed the power within Kevin's body up close, and he was certain that only Freya in this world could fight him.
At the same time, their battle will inevitably bring about the end of this world.
To be honest, Welt was also worried about a conflict between Kevin and Freya, but with SU's repeated assurances and Kiana's guarantee, Theresa, Welt, and Tesla accepted their surrender.
"Okay, I'll go first in a bit."
Ryoma said something very cowardly in a very serious tone.
However, it wasn't that he was truly cowardly. Rather, as a master swordsman, Welt understood better than Welt how terrifying a monster like Kevin, who used all of Honkai Energy to strengthen his body and complete a life transformation, could be.
Simply put, Kevin doesn't need any special skills. All he needs is an indestructible sword to kill all the humans in the world, one by one, without even taking a breath.
With Kevin's current physical strength, as long as the weapon is strong enough, he can even cut (HX) tanks and fighter jets in half.
It's important to understand that after Freya's passing, the strongest members of the Alliance were a few Sealed Rank Knight Commanders with the power of one watt, and Welt himself.
This group undoubtedly possesses the power to destroy a country, but even if they were united, they wouldn't be enough for Kevin to defeat alone.
"By the way, I'm a little worried that Freya might not be able to beat Kevin."
"... It's too late to talk about this now, Kiana and the others are here."
As soon as Ryoma finished speaking, a commotion broke out not far away.
A silent, white-haired man walked at the front, and it was he who triggered the screams.
In this world filled with Honkai, powerful men are very popular with the Valkyrie.
Hearing the commotion and screams, Welt and Ryoma exchanged a glance, clearly not surprised that Kevin was there.
Ryoma's eyes gleamed, clearly preparing to find an opportunity to run away first.
439. Miss Freya, there's no need to rub salt into Kevin's wounds anymore.
"Oh, isn't this a poor homeless wretch?"
Upon seeing Kevin from the original world, Freya immediately launched into a scathing attack.
Everyone present couldn't help but turn their heads away, especially Freya's words, which were particularly jarring to Kevin.
Most importantly, Freya herself was the culprit who caused the split of the World Serpent Organization.
"Oh..."
Kevin ignored Freya's somewhat sarcastic remarks and simply let out a cold laugh.
Freya's purpose in mocking him was simple: to undermine his beliefs through words.
In fact, the reason why the World Serpent Organization has ended up in this state is indeed related to the beliefs it has always adhered to.
He was willing to pay any price to fight the Honkai, but the new World Serpent organization members had no such awareness.
Although Gray Serpent's several wrong decisions hampered the overall development of the World Serpent Organization, it was thanks to subordinates like Gray Serpent that World Serpent organization's morale did not collapse during Kevin's 1,500 years of being trapped in the Sea of Quantum.
However, there are also unchangeable facts for the Gray Serpent. With Kevin's disappearance for 1,500 years, the morale of the World Serpent Organization has almost completely collapsed. If Kevin can return ahead of schedule, then under the Gray Serpent's arrangement, the gimmick of the king's return can reunite the people.
But--!!
A very fatal accident occurred at this stage.
That was because of Jackal's counterattack, which led to the premature exposure of the relationship between Shencheng Medicine and the World Serpent Organization; and then, because of Jackal's defection, Schicksal launched a manhunt for the World Serpent Organization, coupled with the opportunistic attacks from various countries, which plunged the World Serpent Organization into an abyss from which it could never recover.
This series of events dealt a huge blow to the morale of the World Serpent Organization.
At the same time, it also caused the deaths of many loyal members of the World Serpent organization, and the remaining members eventually had other ideas due to the harsh environment.
In the Battle of the Abyss the Alliance and the World Serpent, the Gray Serpent, through Freya, eliminated a large number of members who had gone mad or actually harbored thoughts of betrayal.
However, it was this decision by the Gray Serpent that caused the World Serpent Organization to lose all its foundation.
That's right, from that moment on, the World Serpent Organization was reborn.
However, newcomers to the World Serpent Organization do not know how great Kevin Kaslana is; they only know that under Kevin Kaslana's leadership, the World Serpent Organization still suffers from suppression by the Alliance.
To make up for the losses in the Battle of the Abyss, the Gray Serpent recruited a large number of new members. However, these members, who did not have much of a sense of belonging to the World Serpent Organization, naturally had other ideas because of the organization's situation.
Gray Serpent could have noticed this, but he became blinded by Kevin's return.
If we're talking about who Kevin's most loyal follower is in the World Serpent Organization, Gray Serpent would naturally be the first to come to mind. But even the most loyal follower can't change the state of the World Serpent Organization.
Freya smiled and raised her hand, mimicking Kevin as she suddenly released her clenched fist.
The World Serpent Organization truly burst onto the scene like fireworks exploding suddenly.
When Gray Serpent began recruiting new members on a large scale to expand their organization, it was destined that the World Serpent Organization would become a dirty firework.
Freya continued to mock Kevin relentlessly, her wickedly humorous demeanor leaving Welt and the others from the parallel world speechless.
Tesla from the parallel world really wanted to ask Freya what grudge she held against Kevin from her own world that made her keep making sarcastic remarks.
Of course, the fact that Freya didn't immediately say "Hey, grandson" means she didn't miss out on the dozen or so etiquette lessons Otto had arranged for her.
"Miss Freya, there's no need to rub salt into Kevin's wound."
At this moment, the handsome man standing behind Kevin spoke up.
"You bastard, how dare you show your face in front of me? Seriously, if you were a woman, I feel like Dr. Mei wouldn't have stood a chance in the Previous Civilization."
"???"
SU was confused by Freya's incoherent answer.
What do you mean by saying that if he were a woman, Mei wouldn't have had anything to do with it in the Previous Civilization?
Although SU couldn't understand the logic in Freya's words, he knew where Freya's resentment came from.
After all, although he said he was on Freya's side this time, because Freya was not FU, he subconsciously leaned more towards Kevin.
Not only did it detonate the unstable factors Freya had planted within the World Serpent Organization ahead of schedule, it also helped Kevin complete a higher level of life transformation.
It's quite obvious who SU favors.
"..."
With SU's help, Kevin has regained his past memories and is actually quite familiar with Freya's strange way of speaking.
Although SU and FU had known each other longer, after he transferred to the Senba Academy, the three of them quickly became close friends who could talk about anything. Of course, his relationship with FU was that of two friends who were more like frenemy friends.
SU still doesn't seem to be used to FU's very jumpy thinking, but Kevin is very used to it, especially after he followed Mei's orders to kill Himeko. Every time he encounters FU on a mission, he can't help but be mocked by the other party with vicious words.
Compared to that, Freya's spiciness is merely an appetizer.
