Chapter 400
It is precisely because she is a top-tier researcher in modern civilization, a genius even more brilliant than a first-rate genius, that she understands the gap between herself and Dr. Mei.
It's important to know that almost all the technology in the later stages of the Previous Civilization was developed by Mei alone.
"Aurora needs more experience. As the president of MEI Corporation, Ryoma has excellent management skills. It would be more suitable for him to take charge of management, Aurora is responsible for the integration of the research department, than for Welt and me to continue in our respective roles."
Tesla shared his thoughts, Welt in agreement.
Freya frowned slightly, somewhat speechless.
If she hadn't known that Aurora and Kiana were indeed suitable candidates, she would have almost suspected that Kevin and Tesla were doing it on purpose.
In the current Seven Archons, apart from a certain leader associated with a mascot, the three sisters occupy half of the remaining important seats, effectively turning the three major organizations into a single entity.
Although this situation better suited Freya's requirements, the fact that it went so smoothly made Freya wonder if the group had planned it beforehand.
But after careful consideration, Freya felt that the possibility was too low. She also felt that the timing was just right. She took advantage of the opportunity to convene a meeting of heads of various departments in the conference hall to exchange ideas and then put forward her new governance model.
Welt's lips curled into a smile, looking quite pleased.
He, who never wanted to protect the world by handling copywriting, finally put the right person in the right position.
Anyway, the people who used to handle copywriting were all Raiden Ryoma.
"Since you've decided this way, I have no objection."
Freya did not reject Tesla's proposal. She glanced at everyone and then asked Aurora and Kiana for their thoughts.
Her two friends were also confused at this moment, after all, neither of them knew that they would be sitting in the consul's seat.
But neither Aurora nor Kiana refused the opportunity.
Just as Tesla said, Aurora needs more training. Since Aurora has chosen this path, her adoptive mother naturally supports her adopted daughter's decision.
Kiana is also interested in the power Kevin has secured. Although she is far removed from the Alliance's military and scientific research, the governor in charge of scientific research will be her sister, and Theresa, the sovereign in charge of military power, will also be her 'relative'. In fact, by serving as one of the Seven Archons, she can not only help the remnants of the World Serpent integrate into the Alliance more quickly, but she can also use her appearance and backing to plan more benefits for the remnants of the World Serpent.
"Well, I didn't expect it to really become a three-way division of power."
Freya shrugged and joked with her two girlfriends.
However, he was immediately met with disdain from the two women. When they parted ways, they had communicated quite a bit in their mental space.
Most importantly, even now, Freya often says some lewd things in her consciousness space.
Aurora was once clueless, is now grown up and knows that her second sister is a "veteran driver" who talks nonsense and likes to race the streets.
One of her favorite sayings was that the world was divided among three Qi.
It is said that Aurora and Kiana infiltrated Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent respectively, and after she usurped Schicksal, the three of them jointly ruled the entire world.
In a way, it did indeed come true from the joke we made back then.
Now the three organizations are completely united, and once the Seven Archons governance model is in operation, it will inevitably bring the behemoth of the alliance into motion.
Just as Freya and the others were about to announce the detailed plans for the Seven Archons' positions to everyone at the exchange meeting, Theresa suddenly asked a strange question.
"Freya, um... why isn't there a plan for military power? Among the Seven Archons, who is in charge of the alliance's military forces?"
She was met with a barrage of eye rolls as soon as she asked the question, and Kevin fell silent.
Although Theresa is a clone, she is still a descendant of the Kaslana family, Kevin felt that she shouldn't have asked such a tactless question.
After all, they are all descendants of the Kaslana family. Whether it is Freya, who takes the research route and is powerful, Kiana, who focuses on practical combat and organizing foreign trade, or Aurora, who focuses on scientific research, they all performed very well.
Kevin thought Siegfried was so shameful that he wanted to kick him out of the Kaslana family group chat.
While it's a good thing that Theresa, the sovereign, is a bit simple-minded, her simplicity still surprised him to this extent.
Mei and his excellent genes were not passed down at all.
Freya rolled her eyes at Theresa and said helplessly.
"The Alliance's military power has always been in your hands. Even though I, Kiana, and Aurora can mobilize a portion of it, you are the 'Grand Bishop' who controls the Alliance's military power. The so-called leader of the three major organizations is merely the title of the Alliance's Seven Archons. You are still the Grand Bishop of Schicksal. Whether it's the Apocalypse Knights or the Valkyrie Force, they all respect you—"
"..."
Theresa blushed. She wasn't really stupid, she just genuinely didn't understand. After all, everyone avoided talking about military power, which naturally made her mutter to herself.
Of course, her sheer stupidity did make everyone present feel more at ease.
No problem, truly honest people don't have that much ambition.
458. Your Majesty, I am willing to fight to the death! Why did you surrender first?!
Even though Freya proposed dividing the alliance's power into seven parts, everyone consciously avoided the issue of who would control the military.
Whether it's Freya, Aurora, or Kiana who now bears the name of the eldest sister Freya, they can all mobilize Valkyrie through their own influence, but that doesn't mean they have the right to mobilize the Alliance's military forces.
There's a reason why Theresa asked this question, after all, she's held military power in the Alliance for more than three years, but she herself doesn't seem to realize it.
Normally, when there is a need to mobilize Freya and Welt, it is only a small number of Valkyrie. Most of the Valkyrie also complete their defense tasks on their own, so there is no need for Theresa to use her mobilization authority.
In other words, the power to mobilize all the Valkyrie, including the Apocalypse Knights, has not been properly used so far.
While the ability of people like Freya to bypass the authority to mobilize Valkyrie could be seen as a flaw in the system, Valkyrie are different from ordinary soldiers, especially during Freya's administration, which saw significant changes to the internal system, eliminating rigid command structures.
Each Valkyrie has the right to act independently on site and refuse any reassignment against her will.
Of course, the original complete Valkyrie force was split into two systems by Freya: the Apocalypse Knights and the Valkyrie Guild.
The Apocalypse Knights do maintain their original military system, but they are more like the personal guard of the Grand Bishop and the Saintess.
To put it simply, the Apocalypse Knights are basically a fan club of Theresa and Freya. Even if some bastard bishop regains power, he won't be able to mobilize the Apocalypse Knights.
The so-called Valkyrie Guild is modeled after the mercenary system, allowing all Valkyrie with their own ideas to realize them.
Valkyrie desire money and status can pursue them; Valkyrie who crave love and family can also pursue love and family; Valkyrie who want to protect the world can find like-minded partners to form a team.
If the final form of the incomplete Apocalypse Knights is a huge corporation, then the Valkyrie squad under the Valkyrie Guild are small teams composed of a few elites, freeing them from some unreasonable orders from the Alliance.
During Otto's reign in the Schicksal era, many Valkyrie, upon arriving at the scene of a Honkai event, wanted to immediately rescue the survivors, but were forced to obey orders and wait for other squad members to rejoin them.
Sometimes they even receive very unreasonable orders, but they have no choice but to obey their duty as soldiers and throw themselves into a Schicksal battlefield. And sometimes, important comrades are in danger, but they have no choice but to obey orders and abandon them.
In fact, only someone like Theresa, who can see another side of Otto, has the right to disobey Otto's orders.
Theresa also faced a similar choice. While Otto's orders were perfectly reasonable to an ordinary soldier, they were far too inhumane to the Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie was never a soldier.
It is not an experimental animal.
Freya emphasized these points and drastically modified the original system, which led to various loopholes in the Valkyrie's mobilization authority.
However, precisely because of that slight human touch in the modification, Freya's transfer rights, which she had expected to cause problems sooner or later, never encountered any unexpected issues.
After skipping the issue of military power, Freya continued to discuss with the others the changes that the new governance model would bring, while Theresa sat quietly to listen.
She truly hadn't expected that the military power of the alliance had always been in her hands.
After all, she was just a clerical worker who stamped documents every day. Even Theresa herself felt that her only value was passing on messages and stamping documents. Who would have thought that she was the head of the consuls and would be the Head of Administration in the future?
He is also the so-called leader of the three major organizations, which sounds incredibly pretentious.
Honestly, how did she become the leader of the three major organizations?
Theresa wanted to find a reason to refuse, but she also saw how the others had treated her earlier. It was clear that only if she became the leader of the three organizations could she avoid any dissatisfaction or resistance from any of them.
After Freya explained the duties and corresponding privileges of each person, she also announced the new governance model at this exchange meeting.
As Freya had anticipated, the ensuing uproar revealed that many of the cadres belonging to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were unwilling to share power with these stray dogs of the World Serpent.
The remnants of the World Serpent Organization were also unwilling to accept the control of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
However, after they learned that the new governing model was a seven-person government led by Theresa, the co-leader of the three major organizations, their opposition weakened considerably.
After all, the cadres who originally belonged to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were aware of Theresa's character, and the remnants of the World Serpent organization had also learned more or less about Theresa's personality during the time they joined the Alliance.
Most importantly, two of the seven seats in the Seven Archons belong to the World Serpent's cadres.
Both 'Freya Kaslana' and SU have won over the remnants of the World Serpent Organization.
Similarly, the cadres who originally belonged to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy also had their dissatisfaction and resistance suppressed to some extent because one of the two seats in the World Serpent Organization was taken by the eldest of the Kiana sisters, and the Kiana sisters also took half of the seats other Head of Administration. They were waiting for the new governance model to lead the alliance to develop and bring about significant results, and their dissatisfaction and resistance would eventually disappear.
Just like when Schicksal and Anti-Entropy first merged, many members within the Anti-Entropy organization also resisted this situation, and even rebelled when Welt, Tesla, and others were not in North America.
Those who rebelled were naturally expelled from the alliance, and some were even imprisoned after a fair trial. Meanwhile, the members who were originally neutral now all seem to have a change of heart.
Incidentally, among the powers overseen and controlled by the Seven Archons, Freya is responsible for the medical field.
This means that she will have jurisdiction over all medical-related powers within the alliance from now on.
Although her adjutant Rita still commands the Alliance's covert forces, she will have more cooperation with SU, who is in charge of intelligence and foreign teachers, in the future.
SU isn't as cunning as some bastard bishop, but he does have advantages that no one else has.
He possesses the ability to peer into parallel worlds through the Second Divine Key, giving him an amount of information far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, or rather, he knows most of the world's secrets.
The mysterious deaths of aristocratic scions in a certain world: is it a sign of moral decay? Or is it a case of fratricide?
The destruction of an organization in a certain world—was it due to the overwhelming power of Honkai? Or was it caused by internal conflicts within the organization?
Although SU was unable to use the Second Divine Key to see a way to defeat the Honkai, he did see many unknown aspects of people and the truth behind many bizarre events from the countless worlds he observed.
Some intelligence may seem insignificant, but it could become the cornerstone of the alliance's future development.
Although he is not omniscient, he is the most knowledgeable person in the world.
Freya's acceptance of the World Serpent Organization joining the alliance was not solely due to Aurora's influence.
Of course, one must take care of one's younger sister's reputation.
However, Kevin's abilities and SU's knowledge are indeed so important that she cannot act recklessly or arbitrarily.
Freya would not act recklessly in the face of the safety of those important to her.
Whether it was Kevin staying in Changkong City or SU providing the intelligence he obtained by observing countless parallel worlds, it was the best outcome Freya could have imagined after returning to the Alliance.
Only then did Freya finally feel a huge weight lifted from her heart.
"Mr. SU, remember to take good care of your health. The burden of driving the Divine Key for so many years is enormous. I don't want the Seven Archons to lose a member so soon. You need to know that Kevin cannot sit in the position of the Seven Archons, just like Welt gave his opportunity to Aurora. If he sits in that position, he will definitely suppress my sister. But apart from you and him, there is no other suitable candidate for the other position in the World Serpent Organization."
"Of course I understand."
SU also knew that her body might not be able to hold out for much longer.
Just as Mei, who had been exposed to Honkai Energy for a long time, eventually passed away, SU, who had been driving the Second Divine Key for a long time, had long been mentally prepared. However, the repeated changes in this world gave him a glimmer of hope.
He could have faced death calmly, but now he didn't want to die at all.
"... I will cooperate fully with your treatment."
"You should all get checked out when you have time, so that someone doesn't have a health problem and the person involved doesn't know it."
At this point, Freya rolled her eyes at Kiana.
This young lady has a personality that likes to be strong and push herself, which makes it impossible for her to let go of her worries.
Kiana nodded and smiled, seemingly accepting the criticism humbly but determined not to change her mind.
"On another note, now that the league is adopting a new governing model, perhaps the league also needs a new name."
Freya, who had no way to deal with her own little sister, said irritably.
"A new name? I remember the alliance's official name was something like Anti- Honkai Front."
"Sigh, isn't the fight against the Honkai Front a matter of dying for?"
"How come I don't know that the Alliance has this name? Isn't the Alliance always the Anti-Honkai Alliance of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy?"
"It seems that the alliance between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy isn't really called an alliance. I remember it was something like a frontline battle."
Perhaps because the term 'Alliance' has always been used to refer to the Anti-Honkai Alliance, which is a joint effort between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, the name of the Anti-Honkai Alliance has long been forgotten.
Whether it was Tesla or Welt, everyone wore a look of confusion on their faces.
Not to mention Kevin, SU, and Kiana, who had just joined the league, none of them knew the league's real name.
SU seemed to notice that everyone's attention was on him, and hurriedly offered a frantic explanation.
"I do know a lot of information about parallel worlds, but asking me to remember the Alliance's real name is asking too much of me."
SU was truly at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Among the countless parallel worlds he observed, there were parallel worlds where Freya united the three major organizations; it's just that the names Freya gave to the organizations were different in each parallel world.
Tesla and the others turned their attention back to Freya, wanting to hear her opinion, since she was the one who suggested giving the alliance a new name.
