Chapter 409
Jackal began to imagine what he would do if he were in Mei's situation at that time.
After all, there were only three cities left in the human race at that time, and there weren't many high-ranking members of the Fire Moth. Mei could have easily Fire Moth by leveraging her relationship with Kevin.
Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the Fire Moth organization, originally affiliated with the United Nations, was already defunct when only three cities remained of humanity in the world.
But Mei didn't have such ambitions, nor did Kevin, nor did SU.
Therefore, they did not restrain the lowest-ranking regular soldiers, nor did they realize that their fear itself was also influenced by the Honkai.
The fear of the Herrscher turned them into thugs, leading to the full awakening of the Twelfth Herrscher.
It was too late for either Mei or SU to discover the truth.
When the Staff of the Underworld was invented, the Herrscher of Finality descended, but the Staff of the Underworld had no effect on the Herrscher of Finality.
Only that girl was a victim.
Jackal talked about what he would have done if he were in Mei's situation, Freya couldn't help but want to spit in her face.
"Someone like you has no chance of getting Mei's position. It's precisely because she's a pure researcher and has Kevin's protection that the higher-ups at Fire Moth don't suppress her."
Freya felt that Jackal had underestimated the leadership of the Fire Moth organization, as well as the United Nations behind the Fire Moth organization.
"And what if it were me? If you were Mei, not to mention the United Nations behind Fire Moth, just the fact that the higher-ups at Fire Moth discover your ambitions would lead them to use all sorts of underhanded methods to kill you first."
"How is this possible! Are they out of their minds?!"
Jackal simply couldn't believe that the higher-ups of the Fire Moth organization would choose to kill Mei.
However, Freya raised her eyes, her eyes revealing deep disappointment.
"Human nature is more flawed than you imagine. Although you are an evil scientist, you are still a pure researcher. Otherwise, you wouldn't have reached your current level."
Although Jackal was a failure as a human and not very successful as a dog, Freya recognized her abilities as a research assistant.
At least in this world, there are probably no more than five researchers who can surpass her in the field of biology.
"Those in power don't care what will happen decades from now, because they will be long gone by then. Since they will be dead by then, why would they care if the world is in turmoil?"
"Lord Freya?"
"Hmm, let me think about it... After all, there have been quite a few times. Anyway, since I became the Acting Grand Bishop, and then joined forces with Anti-Entropy to form the Anti- Honkai United Front (Alliance), I have been constantly attacked and assassinated. Although many of the assassinations were useless, they did show the attitude of those in power."
"..."
Jackal was suddenly stunned; she truly hadn't expected anyone to be foolish enough to choose to assassinate Freya.
Regardless of whether the assassination attempt could succeed, even if it did, it would be detrimental to the world in every way.
At that time, Otto had already left the Schicksal, and if Freya were assassinated, the entire Schicksal would fall into chaos.
"Wait a minute, could it be that Lady Theresa also..."
"Yes, I also allocated half of the secret force that Otto gave me to Theresa's side. The knight commander with the title of [Shadow] also serves as the captain of Theresa's personal guard, which is to protect Theresa."
Jackal still found it unbelievable, since the Schicksal had no conflict of interest with any of the countries.
It's important to know that even though Freya appeared very assertive after taking power, she had no ambition to rule the world or establish an empire. In fact, to maintain the international reputation of the Schicksal, she held large-scale charity events every year.
However, Freya still faces terrorist attacks and assassinations orchestrated by the authorities of various countries.
As she grew disillusioned with 'races' other than Valkyrie, she never smiled again, and turned her mission to protect humanity into one transaction after another.
However, the number of assassinations did not decrease at all.
During the Battle of the Abyss, Freya's strength in her battle against Kevin made the rulers of various countries even more wary.
The Jackal experienced human 'malice' for the first time.
Faced with immense disaster, humanity has chosen to kill each other.
"That bastard bishop once told me that his father had told him that the power of Honkai would one day destroy all of humanity. So, long ago, the Apolcalis Family, the Kaslana Family, and the Schariac Family have been fighting against the Honkai. But that bastard bishop later told me that he did not agree with his father's idea. He believed that humanity's enemy should be something else—that is, 'humanity itself.'"
471. For this operation, I can bring along that Cocolia Orphanage squad.
Although Otto was a selfish and self-serving person, he was never stingy in the process of training her, allowing her to access all kinds of knowledge, even if Otto had other purposes in training her. As a result, Freya gained a status that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Freya had always had mixed feelings about this nominal 'grandfather'.
Everyone has a selfish side like Otto. No, those rulers who drag the league down are even more selfish Otto.
At least Otto's contributions in the fight against the Honkai are undeniable.
Even though Otto conducted experiments on many Valkyrie as a reference to avoid being entangled in worldly affairs, such behavior was easily criticized, but the results of human experimentation were the fastest.
Otto used cruel and ruthless human experiments to shorten the research time, which is why the Schicksal recovered in a short time after the Second Eruption War, and with the help of new armor and new weapons, the Schicksal has more and more A-rank Valkyrie.
Under normal circumstances, if the research is carried out step by step, it would take the Schicksal at least ten years to recover its strength, and then twenty years to break through its original height.
However, human experimentation becomes very simple.
They skipped the tedious experiments and calculations and directly experimented on different samples, achieving results that would normally take ten or twenty years to develop in just three years.
Just like when Otto faced the Black Death caused by the Honkai, Otto was initially at a loss when the Black Death virus swept across Europe. However, after he secretly conducted human experiments and began to study the Honkai, he quickly resolved the crisis brought about by the Black Death.
However, Kallen did not understand Otto's behavior.
Freya could understand; at least in her eyes, Otto's mistakes weren't really that big of a deal. After all, some things have to be done, and some infamy has to be borne by someone.
Those idealists, those who talk about hope and love, can't come up with any practical solutions to the problems.
Otto came up with a solution, even if he did it for his own benefit.
Of course, whether Otto was at fault or not has nothing to do with the conflict between Freya and him. If she gets the chance, she will still break Otto's legs if she wants to, and she will still beat him half to death if she wants to...
Three years ago, Freya took advantage of Otto's misfortune simply because Otto's continued existence would hinder her future plans. More importantly, Kiana and Otto were truly enemies. Although Kiana was confused after being verbally abused by Otto, given the situation at the time, a major troublemaker like Otto had to be kicked out first.
Freya did this not for herself, but she was indeed doing it for herself.
In an effort to socially kill Otto, she even co-organized Otto's funeral with Theresa.
That's right, theoretically speaking, Otto is already dead.
She was assassinated by an unknown enemy. Of course, Freya originally wanted to shift the blame to the World Serpent Organization, but now that members of the World Serpent Organization have joined the alliance, she naturally has to arrange for the Propaganda Department to help clarify the situation.
In short, Otto is dead, and every year Freya drags him out to "whip his corpse."
Freya's annual large-scale charity events are held in the name of honoring Otto Apocalypse.
Although many people dislike Otto, as Otto Grand Bishop of Schicksal, he enjoys a good reputation among people in various countries. Even though these countries have been secretly trying to discredit him, the welfare and medical institutions Otto has established around the world have earned him a very positive public image.
Incidentally, Freya always pretends to shed a couple of tears for Otto during charity events.
Of course, she couldn't possibly be truly sad for Otto.
After all, while she doesn't deny Otto's actions or think Otto's done anything wrong, it doesn't mean she doesn't dislike the man.
Ultimately, Otto's actions were indeed unacceptable to the direct victims.
Freya was not a victim; rather, she was a beneficiary. Without Otto creating Kiana's clone, neither she Aurora would have been born.
Without Otto's cruel experiments, the Valkyrie would be unable to fight the Honkai Beast, and the new Honkai Energy weapons would be unable to harm Honkai Beast...
However, Otto was still unhappy with Otto.
However, what Freya despised most were those power holders who only wanted to live a life of debauchery.
While listing Otto's misdeeds, Freya also recounted Otto's contributions to the world. Although Otto's merits and demerits did not outweigh his merits, he was indeed more responsible than those who only cared about their own power.
After all, while Otto was developing artificial Stigmata and artificial antibodies, those in power were fighting amongst themselves, hindering each other, and vying for their own interests.
If even a few powerful figures could act in the best interests of the people, Freya wouldn't be so disappointed in humanity. She doesn't deny the countless shining examples within the human race; the heroes who stood up at crucial moments throughout history are the most brilliant stars of every era, but that's all...
"Getting back to the main point, there's a high probability that the Corrosion-attribute Divine Key is in Changkong City. I'll assign Bianca and Kiana to handle this matter."
After all, as long as these two don't leave Changkong City, even if the mastermind wants to target someone, they won't have the chance.
"Lord Freya, you're handing over the Twelfth Divine Key to them? And what about you?"
"Kevin will stay in Changkong City. With him there, there are probably no enemies that can attack the Alliance. As for those people from the parallel world, they will stay in the Alliance for a while. Changkong City's current defenses are sufficient to handle most situations. As for me, it's naturally for the Stigmata Terminal..."
The Biological Enhancement Technology obtained from Kevin and SU primarily inspired the future enhancement direction of Valkyrie.
The reason Kiana and the others were put in charge of the Twelfth Divine Key because it wasn't a high priority. After all, Freya herself possessed the power of erosion, but she didn't want to be the subject of research. Divine Key with the attribute of erosion was naturally the best alternative.
Only the Stigmata Terminal is closely related to the future of the Valkyrie; one could even say that the Stigmata Terminal is more important than the Divine Key.
After all, the effects of a single Divine Key are limited. If there is no substitute, Freya will research the power of erosion herself.
"Is Lord Freya planning to take action herself?"
The Jackal couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, this is the only thing that requires my personal attention. If Kevin weren't required to be stationed in Changkong City, the most suitable people in my mind to handle this matter would be me, Kevin, SU, Immortal Fu Hua, Welt, and Tesla ..."
Freya replied with a hint of regret.
After hearing Freya's lineup, Jackal was once again taken aback.
Where did this all-star lineup come from?
"It's a pity that Tesla and Einstein can't leave. Welt's abilities are more focused on scientific research, but he'll probably want to go, since he's the kind of person who can't sit still. Kevin has to stay in Changkong City, and Immortal Fu Hua is still in Shenzhou, so this time I can only bring SU."
There are simply too few suitable candidates.
Freya originally wanted to bring along the Twos from the parallel world, but those Twos who were actually from the parallel world five years in the future preferred to stay and learn about the Alliance.
Compared to the alliance of this world, they from the parallel world felt the backwardness of their own world, which explains why they were so powerless to resist Freya's invasion.
Although this world only has two more high-end combatants than the parallel world, the sheer number of Sealed Rank Valkyrie can offset the gap brought about by the strongest combatants in the parallel world.
After the strongest fighting force in the parallel world was stopped by several Sealed Rank Valkyrie working together, the remaining resistance force in the parallel world was not much.
"Tesla Two and Welt Two have many things they want to ask Tesla and Welt for help with. Kevin has recently become very interested in mentoring Kevin Two. Other Twos from parallel worlds are also basically following their parallel counterparts."
At this point, Freya suddenly thought of a suitable candidate.
"Speaking of which, I could have brought that Cocolia Orphanage team with me on this mission, but I never expected that Bronya would have the potential to become Herrscher of Reason."
Freya was completely stunned when she learned that Bronya Two had used the core of the First Herrscher to become the Herrscher of Reason in the Sea of Quantum.
What about a rejection reaction?
What kind of split personality might emerge after Herrscher Transformation?
However, Bronya Two showed her with reality that she was not like Welt Yang, or rather, she was not like Joachim who inherited Welt's name, whose body and Herrscher Core constantly clashed during the fusion process. Her process of inheriting the Herrscher of Reason was smooth. Even though it was later dispelled due to the heavy burden, the burden of the Herrscher Core on her was not as great as she had imagined.
After learning about Bronya Two's performance in the parallel world, Freya naturally turned her attention to Bronya in this world as well.
After all, she was the biggest sponsor of Cocolia Orphanage and now their boss, so Bronya naturally had no intention of going against her. Freya was very curious about what kind of surprise Cocolia Orphanage could give her.
Moreover, taking Bronya as an example, this orphanage produced two Herrscher Core adaptors.
The first adaptee was naturally Seele, who had a high degree of adaptability and compatibility with the Tranquil Core. Freya also did not expect that she would be suitable for the Herrscher Core of the Sixth Herrscher.
Unfortunately, the separated Gem of Serenity was only an incomplete Core of the Herrscher of Death, possessing only a portion of the power of Wither.
Therefore, the Gem of Serenity, in terms of both the power of Creation and the power of Wither, is inferior to the power of Creation and the power of Wither possessed by the true Sixth Herrscher.
Of course, undergoing the baptism of imaginary numbers multiple times and increasing one's awakening level can indeed make one more powerful.
Just like Aurora, who represents the Herrscher of the Void, and Mei, who represents the Herrscher of Thunder, both of them are now as strong as Herrscher have entered their growth stage.
When Freya thought about Bronya's potential to become the Herrscher of Reason, Freya wanted to get her a Herrscher of Reason Core as well.
However, Welt Two from the parallel world had already handed over his Herrscher Core to Bronya Two from the parallel world, Freya almost turned her attention to Welt from the original world.
Fortunately, she kept it to herself; otherwise, if Welt had known that she was eyeing his core, he might have quit.
472. Knowing too much might not be good for your life.
Including the Herrscher Core of Welt Two from the parallel world, there are currently only two Herrscher of Reason cores in this world.
One is in Welt himself, and the other is in Bronya Two's hands.
After Freya conquered the parallel world, she also took over the Cocolia Orphanage, where she met many familiar faces.
Among them, Liliya Arlene Two from the parallel world and Rosalia Arlene Two have obvious Honkai Beast characteristics.
After investigating, Freya discovered that the A-Lynn Sisters from a parallel world had secretly sneaked into the X-10 laboratory, where they found Ashwatthama's gene fusion agent. After being injected, they grew horns and a tail, which were clear signs of becoming Fusion Warrior.
Of course, the Fusion Warrior of the Previous Civilization did not have obvious external features, but Kevin now also has conspicuous Honkai Beast characteristics.
In this state, there are only two possibilities: the Honkai Beast DNA within the body takes the lead, or the person themselves evolves into Honkai Beast.
