Chapter 401
"My personal suggestion is to rename the alliance 'The Maintainers of Heavenly Justice'."
Freya didn't know why she suddenly came up with such a name, but she felt that it was very suitable for the future alliance.
After all, with the combined power of the three major organizations, there is no force on this planet that can stand against the Alliance.
Originally, the three major organizations each controlled a region, forming a tripartite balance of power. But now, it's like the Three Kingdoms have been unified, and all three have only suffered minor losses, retaining considerable strength after the unification.
This is similar to the Three Kingdoms period, a time of warlordism and numerous heroes. If these heroes had been united, not only would launching wars against foreign powers be possible, but even conquering oceans would not have been impossible, and they might have ultimately emerged as the biggest winners.
Unfortunately, such good things did not happen in that best of times. Instead, everyone's minds were blown apart, people died and were injured, and the country's strength declined. Even though some people eventually achieved unification, the directly shrunken national strength made them lose the ability to protect themselves, which led to the later invasion by foreign enemies.
For the three major organizations, the Honkai is undoubtedly an external enemy. While the external enemy is still hiding in the shadows and spying, the three organizations are losing to each other. Even if a victor is finally determined, they will no longer be able to resist the Honkai's strong attack.
However, both Anti-Entropy and World Serpent have retained their core power.
It is precisely because the alliance is now so powerful that they are able to reduce the survival capabilities of other anti- Honkai organizations and make it impossible for other countries to do anything about them, thereby gaining a voice for the alliance.
Compared to the alliance that united the three major organizations, the various countries were like the outer tribes in the Three Kingdoms period. Faced with the unified Three Kingdoms, which retained many famous military and civil officials, they had no power to resist.
The alliance will soon become the nominal ruler of this world, or perhaps the uncrowned king.
The Alliance will also maintain order and act as the guardian of human civilization. Freya felt that the title of "maintainer" was very appropriate, especially since order itself represented the so-called natural law.
However, Freya's name was immediately rejected by everyone except her.
The name "Schicksal" itself carries religious connotations, as does the principle of Heaven. Although the principle of Heaven can also be interpreted as the laws of nature or the Way of Heaven, from a broader perspective, the Way of Heaven in the Honkai worldview refers to the Imaginary Tree.
Honkai is a filtering mechanism derived from the Imaginary Tree. The maintainer of the natural order can be directly translated as the lackey of the Imaginary Tree, or simply as the apostle of Honkai, or even— the Herrscher.
Freya's name just popped up out of nowhere, but after being translated, it left everyone speechless, and they had to do everything they could to stop Freya from giving the alliance that name.
The three major organizations were supposed to be united, but the alliance was renamed the Herrscher.
Is this a prelude to Honkai?
I am willing to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?!
This probably reflects the current state of mind of the people at Tesla.
459. Gray Serpent couldn't understand it at all, and even started to lose his composure.
After all, the word "alliance" is too unremarkable, but the name after the merger of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy has no presence at all, to the point that even Freya herself has forgotten what the battlefront formed by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy is called.
Therefore, the organization's name definitely needs to be changed.
In order to make the members of the organization gradually forget about the three organizations, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, a new name that will leave a deep impression on everyone is needed.
This is also to erase the imprints of Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent within the organization.
Of course, such a strange name as "the maintainer of natural justice" would definitely not pass.
Translated, it's roughly the name of the Herrscher organization; those who don't know it might think they're supporters of the Honkai.
Even though three of the Seven Archons are Finality, the rest are either users of the Divine Key or associates of the Herrscher... and there are several Herrscher among the organization's high-ranking members. Freya even possesses the technology to create Artificial Herrscher. The Dark Rose Squad, which belongs to Rita, is composed of Artificial Herrscher and mutated Deadman. If she wanted, she could transform all the Valkyrie in the Alliance into Artificial Herrscher. However, transforming Valkyrie into Artificial Herrscher and having the organization's name roughly equivalent to Herrscher are two different things.
The former simply means they have control of the enemy's weapons, while the latter is a matter of stance.
Even though the Alliance already possessed the power to trample on all the rules of human civilization, Freya and her allies never intended to sweep across the entire world.
Freya wouldn't want to see any problems arising because of the organization's name.
"I didn't do it on purpose. It was just that my DNA suddenly started acting up. You see, the organization changed its name to The Constituents of Heaven's Principles to protect this world, while we, the Seven Archons, manage the mortal realm, empowering the Valkyrie and warriors who fight for us, giving them the same power as us, and we can also call them Genshin Impacts."
"..."
"... You should have some self-respect."
"Sister, this name is not suitable."
"Freya, you should change your name."
"Let's not talk about whether Genshin Impact still has the Seven Archons, but the enforcers of justice are too easy to fall into traps."
SU and Kevin obviously knew about this old habit. In fact, in their previous life, FU had said many strange things like this, some even more outrageous, such as telling Kevin to charge Mei... SU still remembers Kevin's bewildered look, completely not understanding. After hearing FU's explanation, the two of them started wrestling.
To be honest, Kevin's personality is quite good; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a prince of the academy. But in front of FU, he's always like a bomb that explodes at the slightest touch.
Aurora and Kiana felt the name was too dangerous. The three of them were all Herrscher of Finality in a unified trinity. Even if they were not bewitched by the Honkai Consciousness, it did not mean they were always safe.
If the organization were to change its name to this, it would feel like they were setting up some incredibly ambitious goal.
As for renaming Valkyrie and Warriors as Genshin Impact, that left them somewhat bewildered.
Freya sighed with some regret, perhaps because no one around her seemed to get it, which made her feel a little sad.
Her gaze swept over Kevin and SU, confirming that the joke she had come up with did not originate from Previous Civilization.
Although Freya possesses the Void Archive and has mastered the culture and history of the Previous Civilization, she couldn't find any of the jokes she usually spouted in entertainment culture.
For example, 'show your health bar'.
This was the thought that popped into her head the moment she woke up in this life and opened her eyes to see Otto.
When faced with a strange man, her first thought was, "If this man dares to show his health bar, I'll kill him right now."
It's important to understand that the concept of reincarnation does exist in this world.
Whether it's the Far East and Shenzhou of the Previous Civilization or the Far East and Shenzhou of the present-day civilization, there are literary works with themes of time travel and reincarnation.
This refers to so-called isekai (another world) travel novels.
There are many kinds of time travel, and reincarnation is just one of them.
Naturally, Freya always believed that her 'reincarnation' was a transfer from Previous Civilization to the present one.
However, it now seems that my situation may be even more complicated.
Watching Aurora and Kiana seriously discuss the organization's new name, and seeing Kevin and SU seemingly used to her jokes and quickly shifting their attention, Welt and Tesla joined the discussion about the new name with great interest, Freya smiled and joined in as well, keeping these questions to herself.
Who you were before is not important.
Whether she is FU or a nameless reincarnation, her current name is Freya Schariac, Kiana's younger sister and Aurora sister, Cecilia and Siegfried's second daughter, and the protector of all Valkyrie—
"Sister, what do you think of calling it 'White Wings,' white Wings of Protection?"
"No, we should refer to the name of the Anti-Entropy organization. The name Anti-Entropy originally comes from Entropy Decrease; the second law of thermodynamics states that if the entropy of one system decreases, it will necessarily cause the entropy of another system to increase by a greater amount..."
In contrast to Aurora's romantic naming approach, Einstein offered a more serious explanation.
"From an information perspective, this is equivalent to a highly chaotic ordinary environment with a huge information asymmetry between it and a highly ordered negative entropy environment. Historical research shows that Honkai Energy and this information asymmetry have a strong symbiotic relationship..."
After a series of technical explanations, simply put, in the current research consensus, the so-called 'Imaginary Energy' is Honkai Energy, or at least an important component of Honkai Energy.
"It can be said that the more advanced human civilization is, the more orderly it becomes, which is a process of Entropy Decrease. Honkai is an attempt to make humans and the surrounding ordinary environment Entropy Increase."
"So that's where the Anti-Entropy organization got its name..."
Freya and the others were stunned as Einstein rattled off a string of technical terms.
Of course, they did understand the name Anti-Entropy; in fact, judging from the name Anti-Entropy, it wasn't hard to guess the organization's purpose.
The so-called Anti-Entropy is to reverse the Entropy Increase caused by Honkai.
They were simply stunned by Einstein's professionalism; they clearly hadn't expected Einstein to be so meticulous about organizational names.
Seeing Freya's strange expression, Einstein rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.
"At least it's better than some so-called maintainers of natural law. In fact, whether Entropy Decrease or Entropy Increase, just as so-called Entropy Decrease refers to disorder (chaos) moving towards order, and Entropy Increase represents order moving towards disorder (chaos), from a broader perspective... that is, from the dimensions of time and space, the overall trend should be towards balance. In the Tao Te Ching of Shenzhou, it is mentioned that the way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough; that is, the law of nature is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough."
Under Einstein's highly professional explanation, Mingming's style immediately went astray.
Yes, she is very serious, but it is precisely because of her seriousness that the insolence of others is highlighted.
Since it was the organization's name, Freya also invited representatives from various departments in the lower seats to join the discussion.
For example, Changguang thought the organization could be called 'Heavenly Dao Heavy Industry'. Yes, although she didn't know why the word "heavy industry" came up, she seemed to think the word "Tiandao" was quite good.
Siegfried's naming style was similar to Aurora's, also carrying a romantic touch. However, his naming skills were actually not very high. For example, Aurora named the organization White Wings, while Siegfried's final name was indeed Wings of Heavenly Fire.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like a problem, but in reality, many members ate chicken wings yesterday that Siegfried used the flames of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment as a fire source for the grill.
As a result, the Wings of Heavenly Fire became synonymous with roasted chicken wings in their minds, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became bizarre.
Many people were drooling.
Einstein also fell silent.
The new name she painstakingly chose for the league has been overshadowed by all sorts of funny, ridiculous, and unserious names.
As a result, people who came after him will never know what new name Einstein gave the alliance.
In short, it's not an easy name to remember.
In fact, once civilization develops to a certain level, such silly creatures will inevitably appear. Although Freya did not find the meme she was looking for in the network of the Previous Civilization, she did find a lot of memes that silly netizens were using.
Don't assume that all the high-ranking members of the alliance are respectable people; there are quite a few idiots among them, such as Changguang, who named the alliance "Heavenly Dao Heavy Industry".
She calls herself a swordsmith who has lived for over a thousand years for unknown reasons and is a forging fanatic who loves to study technology.
Originally, the weapons of the Research Institute 1504 were almost entirely supported by her. She was only focused on creating swords and did not reject any cutting-edge technology.
Therefore, she also specifically studied the technologies from building submarines to airships, as well as from missile launchers to thermodynamics and the laws of physics...
Don't ask, the answer is that it's for forging swords.
The dual pistols, crosses, autonomous turrets, special mechs, and other products manufactured by the Research Institute 1504 were all byproducts of Changguang's efforts to create swords, or rather, things that came with her research.
This unorthodox swordsmith has no passion for fighting the Honkai; all he has is an obsession with forging swords.
Therefore, she did not seriously consider why the Alliance changed its name, and she was even unaware that the Research Institute 1504 had been renamed the Alliance's Second Research Institute.
The unorthodox swordsmith set a bad precedent; of course, even without her, there were more unorthodox idiots than serious people in the League.
Everyone assumed their silly names wouldn't be chosen and thought the league would eventually have a very serious name, especially since Einstein gave a long explanation using technical terms, which seemed to suggest a very sophisticated name.
Of course, these silly people didn't remember that name; instead, they started causing trouble with that mindset.
After names like 'Heavenly Dao Heavy Industry' and 'Roasted Chicken Wings' gradually went astray, Ryoma suggested the name 'Humanity Protection Organization'.
The names Freya and Changguang, which use the concepts of Heavenly Principle and Heavenly Way, mostly refer to nature. Therefore, the name Ryoma was chosen with human civilization in mind.
It's a rather proper name, and Ryoma is indeed a proper person.
However, people who are too serious cannot survive for long among a group of silly people. They are quickly overshadowed by some semi-serious names such as Saint Cecilia Flower, Four Directions Knights, Sky Knights, Apostle of God, and Noah's Ark.
Of course, these names are actually quite normal, but they did nothing to reverse the gradually distorted style. Instead, they turned the discussion about proposing a new name for the organization into a ridiculous naming contest.
Strange names like the Happy Theater Troupe, the Rose Corps, the Creed, the Anti-Entropy Union, the Avengers Alliance, and the Seven Emperors Domain appeared one after another.
Subsequently, names such as Violet Sword, Amber Spear, Sky Sovereignty, Path of Light, Valkyrie Nation, Sacred Round Table Domain, Absolute Honkai Front, Saintess Empire, and Invisible Empire, basically completely drowned out the proper names Einstein and Ryoma had chosen.
It may be very proper, but when it's sandwiched among a group of names that aren't so proper, or rather, names that people who aren't proper don't seem to think clearly, it just seems too ordinary.
And these are just appetizers.
Kevin and SU thought these unconventional names were already quite unconventional, but they underestimated the level of absurdity among the higher-ups.
Examples include the Leave Group Alliance When You Find a Partner (from a certain Valkyrie high-ranking member), the Valkyrie Breeding Base " (from a certain Valkyrie high-ranking member), the Beautiful Girl Frontline" (from a certain Valkyrie's simp high-ranking member), the Hard to Date Frontline " (from Lewis, who has a boyfriend), Eastern Star" (from a certain high-ranking member)...
Anyway, the style of the art is all distorted, and they won't use the names they randomly came up with, so these executives really are just randomly coming up with names.
"..."×N+1
Einstein, who had just given a serious explanation of the inspiration behind the organization's name, Anti-Entropy, was now completely speechless.
In fact, Freya didn't expect there to be so many idiots among the higher-ups.
Freya thought about it carefully and realized that the culprit who veered the serious discussion about the organization's new name into a silly naming contest was probably Siegfried, who was seriously thinking of naming the organization Wings of Heavenly Fire.
That's right, if it's just Wings of Heavenly Fire, the naming idea is very similar to Aurora.
But the problem is that yesterday, he treated his colleagues to a barbecue using the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment as a fire source, and Siegfried spent a lot of time honing his culinary skills during his years in the World Serpent, making him an expert at grilling delicious chicken wings.
Not to mention the other high-ranking officials who were drooling, even Freya herself couldn't help but drool.
Ultimately, the organization's new name was not decided upon. After all, among a bunch of silly and unserious people who came up with names, any name would either be out of place or not quite appropriate. For now, they would just use the word "Alliance" as before.
The naming was a minor incident that actually made the exchange conference go very smoothly. Freya's original intention was to increase communication between different departments. Along with the farcical naming incident, some high-ranking officials who originally belonged to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy also accepted these World Serpent cadres.
Now, the cadres of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy no longer exclude these newcomers, and the new governance model means that the merger of the three organizations is inevitable.
Some of the executives who are not Valkyrie but still hold their positions are not stupid at all and would not deliberately go against Freya.
Freya wants to promote the Valkyrie, so they will be the Valkyrie' most steadfast supporters, even if it means being their sycophants; Freya wants to implement the Seven Archons Model and bring the World Serpent under her rule, so to these people, those cadres who originally belonged to the World Serpent will be their half-brothers from today onwards.
However, the Gray Serpent, who didn't join the silly naming contest, found itself seemingly isolated.
