Chapter 427
The Valkyrie, whom she had confined for three months, was very psychologically weak, especially since she also came from that small town.
That town was the closest settlement to the Honkai Battlefield. Because of its proximity to the Honkai Battlefield, it had received orders to relocate. However, due to the low compensation for relocation and the townspeople's unwillingness to leave their homeland, a large number of townspeople remained.
This also led to the town becoming a place for the troops stationed on the Honkai battlefield to relieve stress. Faced with the pressure of death on the Honkai battlefield, normal people quickly suffered mental breakdowns and persecuted the townspeople. In turn, the townspeople, after being persecuted, chose to persecute the weaker ones.
It's not hard to imagine how soldiers stationed on such battlefields would treat defenseless townspeople, and how the persecuted townspeople would persecute even weaker individuals.
The Valkyrie's parents were victims of persecution, leaving a deep scar on her heart. When a Honkai Beast that had escaped the Honkai Valkyrie accidentally wandered into the town, the Valkyrie's parents died because of the Honkai Beast, and she was filled with hatred for the town.
She did indeed abuse the power of the Type-B Valkyrie, but Freya didn't think the other party had done anything wrong; she had the right to take revenge.
However, her abuse of her power did set a bad precedent, and Tesla and others worried that more and more Valkyrie would abuse their power like that Valkyrie.
"You are biased and dote on them, while Lady Theresa is too cowardly, or rather, afraid of making mistakes. After all, she has always felt that her abilities are not as good as yours. Since you haven't spoken up, then it's not appropriate for her."
Tesla glared at Theresa. Having been Theresa's colleague for eight or nine years, she knew perfectly well that Theresa was capable, but due to her personality, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless, which was why many hidden problems remained unresolved.
In fact, Freya was aware of her own limitations, which is why she handed over the Head of Administration to Theresa.
However, her behavior was actually just an escape.
"Of course, I don't completely deny your system of Fusion Warrior and Valkyrie. No one knows better than you how to become stronger and in which direction to become stronger. However, you can't just try to muddy the waters like this."
Tesla looked intently at Freya and Theresa.
"Come up with a plan now! I'm going to strip the Valkyrie's privileges today!"
(Group: 488749799)
495. Freya named this fictional substance the 'Order Stone'.
Tesla really intended to strip the Valkyrie of their privileges. In her words, she might as well combine the Fusion Warrior and Valkyrie and rename them Heroic Spirit Warrior, which would even fit Norse mythology.
Although Freya was self-aware and had considered the future during her time as Acting Grand Bishop, she originally planned to swap identities with Kiana, allowing Kiana to obtain the position of Acting Grand Bishop while she obediently lived in seclusion. However, Kiana rejected the Apocalypse surname, and Freya's outstanding achievements made it difficult for her to shake off certain characteristics. Even if Kiana swapped identities, they would be quickly exposed.
In the end, Freya continued to use the name Kiana Apocalypse, while Kiana herself happily used the name Freya Kaslana.
Kiana felt that Freya had clearly set a trap for her, but ended up getting herself caught in it.
As Freya herself said, in the most difficult early stages when she and Theresa first took over the Schicksal, Freya acted very strongly. Although it was somewhat of a bluff, her strong attitude did indeed intimidate all sorts of monsters and demons.
As she herself had predicted, she was unable to treat the Valkyrie fairly. Knowing she was only capable of favoritism, she reclaimed the nominal title of Schicksal Saintess and dumped all the power of the Alliance onto Theresa. However, Freya's performance during her tenure was so outstanding that Theresa became timid after truly accepting the position. For a long time, she truly acted like a mascot, not daring to interfere in anything.
As early as when the alliance began to integrate the two factions, some people suggested that some of the Valkyrie' privileges should be reduced. Theresa felt that since Freya had decided to grant the Valkyrie privileges, it must be the right thing to do, so she rejected the proposal...
Theresa almost believed that Freya's management system in the early stages was without any problems, just coasted along like a slacker for six or seven years. It wasn't until recently, when more and more internal problems arose and her ability to handle government affairs returned to the level she had been at more than ten years ago, that she finally had this idea.
But when it came to actually taking action against Freya's privileges Valkyrie, Theresa suddenly chickened out. She realized that since Freya hadn't spoken, it meant the matter wasn't urgent enough, so she decided to postpone it.
It's no wonder Tesla is now trying to verbally attack Freya and Theresa.
One chose to run away, the other was just a coward.
Tesla talked back to the two men for over an hour, making the people in the conference room who had been brought in to do the work, as well as the group who were originally there to do the work, very happy, as if they were drinking an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.
After all, given Freya and Theresa's status and position, there was simply no one in the alliance suitable to verbally attack them.
In fact, even though Kevin Kaslana is considered their ancestor, if he were to actually stand up and lecture them, Freya would immediately throw a 'Super Herrscher Collapse' at him.
Tesla enjoyed his verbal sparring, and although his throat was dry from talking, he immediately felt all his previous frustration disappear after taking a sip of the tea brewed by Mei.
"Ah, thank you, Mei."
Seeing Mei refill her cup with tea, Tesla thanked her.
"This is all I can do here."
As Aurora's assistant, Mei was unable to help Aurora and could only make tea and cook late-night snacks for the conference room.
Whether it was Iserin, Leivi, or Wuse Hui Huo, they all looked haggard. Especially for Wuse Hui Huo, staying up all night was practically killing her; she felt that not sleeping one night would probably shorten her lifespan by 80 years.
Mei doesn't quite understand Huohuo's calculation method, but it seems that someone is planning to live to 160 years old?
Theresa, who was bombarded with verbal attacks for an hour, was in tears, but Freya, who was the main target of Tesla's verbal attacks, was just as leisurely drinking tea as Tesla.
"As expected of my 'brother-in-law,' it tastes really good. Is it lemon tea?"
"Yes, Lord Freya, I made this lemon tea myself. I heard that lemons can relieve fatigue."
"I see."
Freya clearly let Tesla's previous rant go in one ear and out the other, or rather, in her case, it didn't even go in her ears.
"Freya!"
"Sister Tesla, as I said, I can't handle it. I simply can't bring myself to do it. Even if you put the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior together and rename them as Heroic Spirit Warrior, to me, they are still Valkyrie."
The Valkyrie older than Freya practically watched Freya grow up, the Valkyrie the same age as Freya grew up alongside her, and the Valkyrie younger than Freya were those she watched grow up.
Whether she is called Kiana's younger sister, Kiana, Saintess Lord, or elder sister, all these titles signify that she is inseparable from the Valkyrie.
It was precisely because I knew I couldn't bring myself to be ruthless that I chose the most suitable person.
Freya hadn't expected that her strong performance in the early stages would actually suppress Theresa. It should be noted that Theresa herself was very outstanding. In order to compete with Otto, she chose to go to the Far East Branch to take charge and founded St. Freya Academy.
Although Theresa's ideas are very naive, even overly naive, it doesn't mean she lacks ability. It should be noted that Theresa is very experienced in both large-scale operations and commanding operations in the Honkai battlefield. She has survived countless brutal battles and is not lacking in decisiveness.
It can only be said that Freya's performance in the early stages was outstanding, while Theresa was lost and confused at that time because of Bishop Otto's departure.
Freya shrugged and said to Tesla.
"Sister Tesla, I understand that you want to reduce the Valkyrie's privileges. Not only do you want to reduce them, but Mr. Kevin and Mr. SU from the original World Serpent side also want to reduce them. Only by reducing the Valkyrie's privileges can the three systems within the alliance be completely integrated."
Given that the three major organizations are practically defunct, the fact that the Alliance still treats Valkyrie favorably makes people think that the Alliance is just a figurehead of the Schicksal, and that they are not a community of shared destiny, but rather the losers accepting rule.
It is the shared destiny and collaborator status that made the researchers in the Anti-Entropy Schicksal, agree to join the alliance.
Of course, Freya wasn't joking; she did indeed keep her promise, only she was too biased towards the Valkyrie group.
"So let Theresa do it, I'll turn a blind eye."
"Since you've agreed, I won't say anything more."
Tesla breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Freya's answer; she had been worried that Freya would refuse.
Even if Freya tacitly approves of Theresa reducing the Valkyrie's privileges, once Theresa actually takes action to reduce the Valkyrie's privileges, no one can guarantee that Freya will not soften her heart or reject Theresa's decision because of the Valkyrie's pleas.
It should be noted that within the entire alliance, the only person truly capable of shaking Theresa's rule is Freya.
If Freya rejects Theresa's decisions, it will severely damage Theresa's prestige. This will not only affect Theresa's rule over the entire alliance, but also cause the alliance to suffer the same fate as when the World Serpent disintegrated.
The ultimate disintegration of the World Serpent Organization can indeed be traced back to the underhanded tactics employed by Freya and various countries, but in reality, it was also related to the lack of authority within World Serpent organization itself.
The newly recruited members had no fear and no reverence for their leader, Kevin. To most members, Kevin was just a slightly stronger boss. As to how strong he was, Kevin himself did not have a performative personality and naturally would not show off. At the time, the World Serpent Organization, which adhered to a low profile, could not demonstrate any other strength.
Most importantly, Gray Serpent made frequent mistakes in decision-making, which caused him to completely lose his authority. At that time, he also fell into self-doubt and did not take the time to conduct faith (brainwashing) education for his subordinates.
Given this situation, it would be strange if the World Serpent Organization didn't fall apart.
If Freya rejects Theresa's decision, the same situation will naturally occur.
Therefore, Tesla felt he needed to know Freya's attitude and not just turn a blind eye.
"But Freya, are you sure you can withstand the requests from those Valkyrie?"
"... At worst, I'll go with Jackal to do new research, and we can increase the production of the previous 'Fantasy Crystal Gold' by 10%."
"Uh, the production of 'Fantasy Crystal Gold' can be increased by 10%? Then why don't you hurry up and do some new research with the Jackal... Ah."
Tesla slammed her hand on the table and stood up, but then she noticed the mountain of documents piled up in front of the Jackal and Freya who had been brought in to work. Her expression froze, and she obediently sat down, since there were also two mountains of documents in front of her.
Freya shrugged. As for the 'Fantasy Crystal Gold' she mentioned earlier, it was a fictional special metal that possessed crystalline properties.
She previously categorized the Valkyrie future, but because the consciousness-based, or rather 'Willpower System' category that she categorized separately was truly unreasonable.
The so-called distortion of reality by personal will.
Freya created an isolated space in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area that can be maintained as long as she doesn't touch it. However, Freya is still observing how long it can last. If she is certain that the reality of distorted consciousness can be maintained indefinitely, then she will have another means to deal with the Herrscher of Finality.
For her now, her biggest worry is that the consciousness of the Herrscher of Finality might suddenly awaken. If they haven't found a way to eliminate or suppress the Herrscher of Finality's consciousness by then, the isolated space created by the distortion of consciousness can buy her enough time.
In fact, if Jana wasn't a clone, even if Freya couldn't deal with her, she could still lock her up using the isolation space.
In Jana's words, that space was completely illogical, and even she couldn't escape it for at least a hundred years.
After all, powers and Honkai Energy are based on rules of a higher dimension, while this kind of personal will that distorts reality, this idealism, is completely illogical. Perhaps it is another set of rules that operate. At least Freya used her own will to distort reality and successfully created matter that does not belong to this world.
In fact, Freya initially named this fictional substance 'Order Stone' or 'Civilization Foundation'.
If the Honkai phenomenon is the Imaginary Tree's attempt to return an uncontrollable, orderly civilization to chaos and nothingness, then this fictitious matter represents the establishment of order and civilization.
Even though Freya initially spent a month creating just one gram of ' Order Stone 'Order Stone, the moment she created that one gram, all the Honkai Energy within a radius of several kilometers disappeared, replaced by a very stable unknown energy.
Freya named this universal energy source, which is similar to Honkai Energy but lacks its corrosive Honkai Energy, 'Order Energy'.
Even Freya's own Honkai Energy is the same.
When Freya created the 'Order Stone', she did so in a way that completely contradicted all the characteristics of Honkai Energy. As a result, the 'Order Stone' she created had the ability to establish order in chaos.
Even within the influence of the 'Order Stone', the various machines created by researchers can be inexplicably enhanced.
For example, if the combat power of the Titan Mech in a normal environment is 100, then its combat power in an environment full of Honkai Energy is only 80, while its combat power within the coverage area of the 'Order Stone' is about 10,000.
That's right, it increased a hundredfold.
Unfortunately, the production of 'Order Stone' is far too limited. Even Tesla's newly built laboratory only has two grams of 'Order Stone', which is far from meeting Tesla's needs.
One gram of the 'Order Stone' was also stored in the Space Fortress that had ascended to geostationary orbit.
However, considering that names like 'Order Stone' and 'Civilization Base' would easily reveal its characteristics, Tesla felt that using a more deceptive name would be better. So, at Aurora's suggestion, 'Order Stone' was renamed 'Fantasy Crystal Gold', a special substance with metallic and crystalline properties.
It was precisely because all the Willpower System that Freya wanted to form a separate group of Willpower System ability users.
However, to distort reality with willpower, one's willpower must first reach the level of exceeding limits. Currently, only a few people in the alliance meet this condition.
SU, who best fits this condition, is actually a superpower type. Immortal Fu Hua is more suitable, but she has misallocated her stats. Although she has super strong mental attacks, she cannot distort reality with her own will, so she obviously cannot help Freya produce this so-called Fantasy Crystal Gold.
"Can it really increase it by 10%?"
Even the usually taciturn Einstein couldn't help but ask questions at this moment.
Although Fantasy Crystal Gold exhibits properties similar to metals and crystals, it is ultimately a fictional substance created by Freya Fantasy Crystal Gold the distortion of reality by her personal will. How long it can exist is unknown, and it is also a direction that Einstein and Tesla have been researching.
"If we can increase it by 10%, then Tesla and I can conduct experiments on the point of brute force."
After all, this Fantasy Crystal Gold has only just come out. Both Tesla and Einstein wanted to study it. Even though Tesla obtained two grams through his position, it was still not enough for them. Moreover, they were not the only ones who wanted to study it. Almost all the researchers who were qualified to access the Fantasy Crystal Gold data wanted it.
Freya nodded slightly, which naturally drew cheers from Tesla and Einstein, and even the Jackal, who had previously shown no enthusiasm, couldn't help but cast longing glances at her.
"Don't look at it, there aren't many. We need to give them to Sister Tesla first, as this one is even rarer."
496. In fact, she succeeded.
Freya was not lying. Even after she used her individual will to distort reality and create the 'Order Stone', the difficulty of recreating it decreased significantly, but the monthly output was still only about one gram.
So far, Freya has created a total of about seven grams of 'Order Stone'. Two grams of it were taken by Tesla and Einstein for research and placed in the newly built research laboratory. SU, Planck and Ryoma each took one gram for research, while Freya announced that she only had one gram.
In fact, she should have had two grams of 'Order Stone', but one gram of 'Order Stone' had already been used up in one of Freya's experiments.
After all, after successfully creating this substance that could not possibly exist in reality, he strangely obtained any of the Imaginary Tree's power. Within a radius of several kilometers influenced by one gram of 'Order Stone', all Honkai Energy be replaced by 'Order Energy', and civilizations and technologies that were the opposite of Honkai would be strengthened beyond imagination.
However, this does not mean that the Honkai Beast will disappear within the range of the 'Order Stone'. Rather, within this range, the Honkai Energy within their bodies is transformed into Order Energy, thus becoming what is known as the Order Beast.
These Order Beast possess extremely high intelligence and lack a strong desire to attack. Despite having the same physical attributes as Honkai Beast, they act cute towards humans.
Those who don't know might think it's the Iron-Eating Beast, a national treasure from Shenzhou, that has undergone a transformation into Honkai Beast.
Of course, it was just an experiment that converted Honkai Beast into Order Beast, consuming only 0.01 grams of 'Order Stone', while consuming the one gram of 'Order Stone' she had created with a month's worth of willpower, and even consuming it instantly in a very short time. This experiment was naturally Freya's attempt to use 'Order Stone' to convert the Herrscher of Finality.
In fact, she succeeded.
She successfully converted the Herrscher of Finality from the Honkai Side to the 'Order Side' of the Apostle.
Although theoretically there are no Order Herrscher, Freya, after her success, strangely believed that this apostle who absolutely controls all Order Energy should be called the Herrscher of Origin.
Although Freya only became the Herrscher of Origin for about 5 seconds, she understood that the 'Order Stone' could not suppress the consciousness of the true Herrscher of Finality.
Even if the other party is converted into an apostle of the 'Order Side', the other party will still be under the management of the Imaginary Tree.
The Imaginary Tree evolves into countless worlds, and evolution itself is the process of establishing order, while Honkai is the destruction of those unqualified civilizations.
After entering the Herrscher of Origin state, Freya did indeed discover many inside stories, such as the First World on the Imaginary Tree, where the apostle who guided the birth of civilization was called the Herrscher of Origin, and she was also the First Apostle created by the Imaginary Tree.
Freya did not have this knowledge regarding the Imaginary Tree Authority she had previously obtained.
