Chapter 414
Who saw the tender heart of that adult?
Everyone only saw her strength and vengefulness, but once she stopped being strong and vengeful, jackals, tigers, and lions would seize the opportunity to pounce and tear her apart. Even if it didn't hurt the dragon, once a conflict broke out, the fragile fledgling would be sacrificed...
Therefore, that person acted more assertive and aggressive than anyone else.
Could the rulers of various countries not know Freya's purpose in deliberately recalling all the Valkyrie?
No, they all know.
They accepted Freya's reprimands willingly, even humbly accepting them and frankly admitting their mistakes.
Rita sighed and checked the intelligence again, confirming the investigation results one by one.
For Freya, who has always maintained a strong position, she cannot give any countries any excuse to start a war. Therefore, since the World Serpent is powerful, she must suppress it.
Otherwise, she will face endless compromises.
"Lord Freya must be sad, but the momentum of the Human Alliance must be suppressed, even if their current leader is... another group of Valkyrie."
After finishing her work, Rita returned to her residence. She tiptoed into the room and saw the girl sleeping soundly on the large bed in the bedroom.
In this room, where even her family members need to apply for permission to enter, she was the only exception who had the opportunity to see her unguarded side.
As her abilities have improved, Freya is now able to freely open her consciousness space.
Although the three sisters would often have private conversations in that consciousness space, Freya had usually severed the mental link between them.
This was merely a precaution she took to prevent any accidents that could lead to all three of them getting caught up in the chaos. After all, only one person was affected by the Honkai Consciousness, and the other two would eventually find a way to rescue her.
Freya also considered the consequences of losing control. In order to avoid an irreversible situation, she developed a so-called 'Dragon Slaying Technique' to target her weaknesses.
This is a girl who thinks more about others than herself, and cares more about others than herself.
How could Rita possibly obey her order to learn the 'Dragon Slaying Technique'?
Even now, Freya still retains that weakness.
However, very few people actually learn the so-called Dragon Slaying Technique, and even those who do learn it deliberately don't take it seriously.
No matter how powerful a young dragon may be, it is still essentially a young beast.
Rita sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the girl's sleeping face. The fact that she had gained such trust from the girl meant that she must know many of her secrets.
Many secrets Freya kept from her family, she never hid from her.
For example, Freya confessed that she had some memories of her past life, but in Rita's eyes, her so-called past life memories were nothing more than logical memories like using chopsticks and spoons to eat, or memories at the level of knowledge. Apart from that, she had no visual memories related to people and things from her past life.
She may still retain some emotional or motor memories, but apart from logical and knowledge-based memories, she is no different from a newborn child.
Rita initially chose to follow Freya only to curry favor with her, but she later discovered that the powerful figure who was protecting her was actually such a pitiful young girl.
The longer she spent with the girl, the more her feelings for her gradually changed.
It's only recently that the girl who has been completely open with her over the years has started to look at her differently.
After Rita finished washing up and taking a bath, she took a short nap next to Freya. When she woke up, she stayed by Freya's side with a satisfied smile on her face.
She doesn't crave power or status second only to the emperor, but being able to stay by his side, share his burdens, or soothe his inner pain is enough for her.
Before long, the sky began to brighten. Freya, who had been having a sweet dream of sleeping on soft clouds, rubbed her eyes, sat up in bed, and looked around sleepily.
Then I saw Rita lying next to me, wearing only very thin pajamas.
She instantly assumed a 'double upright' position.
Although she didn't have anything to stand upright.
Looking at the alluring, languid smile on her face, Freya suddenly felt a little dizzy.
She hadn't noticed before that her maid, who always wore such sexy pajamas, was so blatantly seducing her.
"...Hiss, I remember Rita, you started wearing pajamas like this about two years ago, when I was still a child."
According to official records, Rita is three years older than her, but those in the know know that if you start counting from 2006, her actual age is only about 7 years old, while Rita is now 17 years old.
Rita straightened up with a happy smile on her face, clearly enjoying Freya's embarrassed expression.
Freya immediately stared at the other person with the eyes of someone looking at a lolicon, but soon she was dazzled by the two white and soft objects and turned her face away with a flushed face.
"I have never seduced anyone, I just like dressing like this in front of Lord Freya."
"From the perspective of universal values, we call this seduction!"
Freya felt she couldn't look any longer. She used some examples of destroyed ancient empires, saying that the monarchs of those empires became obsessed with beauties like Rita and stopped diligently handling state affairs, ultimately leading to the near destruction of their countries.
"I see. But from the perspective of universal values, isn't seduction simply a woman using her beauty to seduce a man? When a woman uses her beauty to seduce another woman, it's not called seduction."
Rita stuck out her tongue and argued with a cute expression.
Faced with such a cute and sexy maid, Freya felt she might not be able to resist.
"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, I need to set off to retrieve the Stigmata Terminal today..."
"Lord Freya, I think there are some things I need to tell you about this."
Rita then explained to Freya why she had been working overtime the night before, and the enemy that had resurfaced like an unkillable cockroach.
479. Isn't this a case of me digging my own grave?
"The Human Alliance... wait, are they still alive?"
Freya gasped in surprise upon hearing the name of the troublemaker.
To be honest, Freya hated the Human Alliance. To put it bluntly, that organization was a tool for the Senate and various countries to make money, while also handling all sorts of shady things for them.
The atrocities committed by the Human Alliance were appalling. After learning about this, Freya wished she could unleash a Mind Plague on the territories of various countries. Of course, with her strength at the time, she could not do what she had done in the parallel world.
Most importantly, in most countries, the leaders on the surface are merely puppets put forward by the real rulers, while the actual rulers rarely reveal their true colors.
Freya never underestimated the wolves, tigers, and lions surrounding her. In fact, it was precisely because of the strength of various countries that Otto could not act recklessly, and the Schicksal under his control was also restricted in many ways.
All of this is thanks to Welt and his Anti-Entropy organization, who worked silently behind the scenes.
Indeed, in Freya's eyes, the league's current troubles are all related to this nice guy.
Welt wanted to break the Schicksal's technological monopoly, so he vigorously supported the technology of various countries. As the largest country in North America where the Anti-Entropy Organization's cadres were most active, the United States was the most developed in terms of both economy and technology. Therefore, the United States was also the main force that hindered the Schicksal's operations.
When the Anti-Entropy organization was weak, it may have had the idea of using various countries to restrain the Schicksal. The rulers of these countries went along with it, naturally hoping to benefit from both sides.
Otto didn't care about the situation of the Schicksal. As long as those countries didn't interfere with his plans, he wouldn't mind sharing some of the spoils with these insatiable beasts.
The strength of each nation lies in its possession of nuclear weapons capable of destroying human civilization; such deterrent power is not to be underestimated even by Otto.
Welt and his Anti-Entropy organization successfully restrained the Schicksal by using various countries, but this also brought so much trouble to the current alliance.
"I should have dealt with all the main leaders of the Human Alliance. Those old fogies are now staying obediently in their own homes..."
Although Freya moved all the Schicksal Floating Island to the Far East, she did not move the elders of the Senate, as well as the Kaslana Family and Schariac Family, to the Far East.
However, the Schariac Family and Kaslana Family abandoned their assets in Europe and followed her to the Far East. Now they have built mansions in the upscale residential area of Changkong City. The Senate, however, is reluctant to part with their assets, and with Freya's orders, they can only stay at home obediently.
Of course, the Human Alliance was indeed established by the Senate, but the evil deeds committed by the Human Alliance were not related to all the senators. It was just that some senators had closer ties with various countries and therefore wanted to do some audacious business. These senators have all passed away in recent years.
After all, these elders are all getting old, and they could easily die from a minor bump or bruise or illness.
Freya extremely vengeful. Her reckoning may be delayed, but when it does come, it will be absolutely devastating.
When dealing with such matters, Otto usually dispatches her Covert Mobile Force, so that no one can be aware of her presence.
However, in Freya's eyes, it was ultimately not as easy and simple as the Artificial Herrscher Power of Shadow and Blood Power in the Dark Rose Squad.
Such as controlling the body through shadows, with just a slight tug, one can disguise the scene of an accident. Most importantly, the Artificial Herrscher of Power of Shadow can remain hidden in the shadows undetected throughout the entire process; or accelerating the blood flow of others, thereby directly putting a strain on their heart, and the person involved only needs to add a drop of their own blood to the other's food to complete such a terrifying assassination.
Of course, Freya assured that she had never done such a thing. She was saddened by the unexpected fate of the elders, and her stomach was growling with hunger. Tears streamed down her face, and she ate several extra dishes that evening.
Freya, who was so cruel to the Senate, didn't give the Human Alliance of that time much of a choice.
In reality, the Human Alliance did disintegrate, but later it was brought together again by the rulers of various countries.
Freya originally planned to follow the trail and hunt down a few jackals and tigers as a warning, but those recruited were only the lowest-ranking members of the Human Alliance. Freya naturally let go of those members who hadn't committed too many evil deeds. They were scattered and joined into the armies of various countries, serving only as low-ranking soldiers.
To the various countries, these members were nothing more than skilled mercenaries, just like the mercenaries who lost their jobs after Freya destroyed several large mercenary camps. They were not innocent, but there was no need to exterminate them.
Freya dealt with the researchers who had close ties with the Human Alliance. Of those researchers who treated Valkyrie as experimental animals, captured Valkyrie through various channels, and conducted cruel experiments on them, only two or three are still alive today.
Even if they are alive, they are in a state worse than death.
After all, Freya herself was a researcher who, like them, did not reject human experimentation, and in terms of evil, she was far more wicked than these researchers.
"... The Human Alliance disappeared completely several years ago. I think it must be someone using the Human Alliance's name."
Freya realized that the person behind this incident was very likely a relative of those elders, and a sinister look appeared on her face.
She had thought that these elders would have learned their lesson over the years, so she had become more lenient with them. But she never expected that as soon as she started to be lenient with them, these elders would jump out and cause trouble.
Rita shook her head, somewhat helplessly.
"It's the Valkyrie. The current Human Alliance is led by the Valkyrie from the other side."
Freya was taken aback by Rita's answer.
Freya naturally knew which Valkyrie Rita was referring to, since the only Valkyrie who weren't of one mind with her were Valkyrie trained by various countries.
"If they are those Valkyrie, they are not a concern. I naturally have reservations about various countries... Although those Valkyrie are all Type B, the difference between them and students from the St. Freya Academy the same."
Valkyrie trained in two completely different nurturing environments are two completely different Valkyrie.
Even the Type-B Valkyrie who graduated from the St. Freya Academy is stronger than the Type-B Valkyrie were modified from Valkyrie of the Schicksal era. Of course, many Valkyrie of the Schicksal era were exceptionally talented and adapted to the Type-B Stigmata in a very short time, displaying strength that was not much inferior to those graduates.
However, neither the latest batch of students at the St. Freya Academy nor the 13th class, which still has many students, can compare to the current Type-B Valkyrie.
After all, the Valkyrie will only get stronger, and future Valkyrie will be even stronger than the current Valkyrie.
Whether it's enhanced technology, new weaponry, or newly developed superpowers, everything is enabling the Valkyrie to surpass her former self.
The Valkyrie Freya trained for various countries were naturally in ordinary environments.
Moreover, they lack access to the Valkyrie community, so they are naturally unaware of the Alliance's rapid changes, not to mention that Valkyrie are currently discussing the Key of Reason and the Resonance Array.
Tesla developed a new basic Stigmata, [Attachment], based on the existing types of Stigmata.
The four basic Stigmata, [Guidance], [Enhancement], [Cage], and [Attachment], now form a new Resonance Array, named [Elemental Cage].
After all, the previous three Key of Reason resonated as a purple lightning spear, while the four Key of Reason resonated as a tetrahedral crystal cage, capable of resonating with Honkai Energy of any attribute.
This has led to the emergence of novel new moves such as the Flame Triangle Cage and the Electromagnetic Barrier.
The appearance of the Key of Reason ignited the passion of all Valkyrie, and many Valkyrie envied the Valkyrie who were chosen to test the Key of Reason every day.
The resonance array of three or four Key of Reason is never the end point. Freya's slowly conceived resonance system in the parallel world is far less ambitious than this small-scale scenario. In order to realize her resonance system, the Stigmata Terminal must be obtained.
Freya naturally didn't take the Valkyrie suddenly appeared and began to rule the Human Alliance seriously.
"Lord Freya, many of those Valkyrie have awakened true Stigmata; they are acquired Stigmata Awakeners."
"???"
Freya looked at Rita with confusion.
"More than a month ago, the World Serpent Organization fell apart. At that time, you were still in a parallel world. The rulers of various countries may have discovered that the current Saintess is Aurora in disguise. When we accepted Lord Kevin and the others' surrender and sent people to take over the World Serpent Organization's legacy, a large number of new antibodies and the Stigmata Activator developed by the World Serpent itself were missing from the World Serpent base."
"..."
"According to subsequent investigations, members of the World Serpent Organization deceived their superiors and subordinates by claiming that the drugs were scrapped or were damaged during experiments, and sold a large number of new antibodies and Stigmata activators to the Human Alliance. Various countries then used the new antibodies and Stigmata activators to create more than a dozen Stigmata Awakeners."
"This quantity is incorrect."
Freya was immediately astonished, but then seemed a little stunned.
"No, this number is reasonable. The World Serpent Organization uses ordinary people for experiments, while the Human Alliance and the countries behind them use Valkyrie for experiments."
Freya has trained a group of high-quality Valkyrie for various countries. Although they cannot be compared with the current and Valkyrie the Alliance, they are still better than the Valkyrie of the original Schicksal era.
Various countries have extensive experience in experimenting with Valkyrie, not to mention that they took advantage of the chaos within World Serpent to steal a large amount of useful data.
"How exactly does Gray Serpent manage those subordinates... uh."
Freya was about to get angry when she remembered that she had been digging holes for the disintegration of the World Serpent Organization for years, and she even took a liking to the petty actions of various countries.
SU prematurely triggered its internal problems; otherwise, World Serpent's situation would have been even worse.
After all, many members recruited by various countries have become cadres. Even those recruited by Freya have made a name for themselves and formed factions within the World Serpent Organization.
