Chapter 434

Those infected with the new Honkai disease will become a source of infection for the new Honkai disease upon their death.

The infection source has an influence range of about one kilometer in radius, and it is easier to contract the new Honkai disease than to touch the Honkai crystal with bare hands.

Clearly, the new type of Honkai Sickness will cause infected individuals to continuously accumulate this highly infectious 'virus' in their bodies until the infected person dies, at which point, like a bomb exploding, the 'virus' in the infected person's body will begin to spread outward.

The radius of influence, approximately one kilometer, is not the final range of influence for the infected. The more 'viruses' new Honkai disease infection accumulates, the wider the range of influence will be after death.

However, the use of the derivatives of the Honkai crystal did not decrease.

When a medium-sized Honkai Energy Reactor fueled by Honkai crystal is successfully built, and the energy provided by one medium-sized Honkai Energy Reactor is equivalent to that provided by ten nuclear reactors, the 100% fatality rate of the new Honkai disease and the danger of infected people dying and becoming sources of infection are almost ignored by those rulers.

They built high walls to isolate Honkai Energy and drove the infected inside, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Over the course of this month, the events that occurred in various countries gradually led to conflicts and contradictions. When an infected person used his stolen Honkai crystal to kill soldiers maintaining order, the conflicts and contradictions between the public and the infected began to escalate and started to affect the Valkyrie.

The 'virus' is essentially Honkai Energy with enhanced properties, and almost everything in the Alliance is inseparable from Honkai Energy. In the eyes of the public, everyone in the Alliance is infected.

Just as Freya had initially predicted, the rulers of various countries, in an attempt to divert attention from domestic conflicts, began to smear the Alliance, even spreading rumors that new Honkai disease had appeared in some countries—

"This is outrageous! We're still sending people to the quarantine zone to provide treatment! And now they're throwing mud at the Alliance!!"

At the new day's council meeting, a young Valkyrie councilor slammed her fist on the table.

The other governors looked at the alloy round table that the young Valkyrie governor had hammered down. The round table, made of the same material used to manufacture the Titan Mech, had been dented by the other party.

That's really violent...

The officials present thought so.

Although the Seven Archons and some of the ruling officials did not participate in this meeting of ruling officials, it does not mean that such a meeting of ruling officials is without authority. The attitude of this young Valkyrie ruling official naturally represents the attitude of the meeting of ruling officials.

Seeing that the other party seemed eager to directly confront the rulers of various countries, the older officials couldn't help but shake their heads.

Siegfried, who had raised his teacup in advance, silently took a sip of hot tea.

Looking at the dents on the alloy round table, he suddenly understood why the production of Titan Mech had been gradually decreasing recently. Even Valkyrie, who did not rely on physical strength, possessed the power to easily destroy Titan Mech armor, not to mention Fusion Warrior, whose physical strength was greatly enhanced.

The new Titan Mech, which originally had promising prospects, has been driven to bankruptcy by the Herrscher-style Valkyrie and Herrscher Fusion Warrior who used the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody.

Simply put, it was embarrassing, so I quit the game.

At the same time, Siegfried also felt regretful that even though the current alliance possessed such great power, it could not interfere with the decisions of various countries.

Many within the alliance are dissatisfied with the rulers behind the scenes in various countries.

Whether it's their attitude towards infected people, their practice of isolating them and letting them fend for themselves, or their act of throwing mud at the alliance.

"Calm down, wasn't it expected that they would try to smear us?"

Siegfried advised the young Valkyrie governor.

As the biological father of Kiana, Freya, and Aurora, he holds a very special position in the League. Because of his three daughters, he can influence decisions even without real power, not to mention that he does possess the authority of an administrator.

However, the reason why the members of the alliance were willing to listen to him was not only because of his status and authority, namely the so-called "national father-in-law," since his three daughters were all very popular.

Of course, we won't mention Aurora would supply cabbages to other people's homes, since she had been adopted by Welt and Tesla for a long time, and she hadn't just supplied cabbages to one family.

Siegfried learned through his "gun wife" that his eldest and second daughters also had lovers, but due to their personal identities, they generally did not make their relationships public. The lover of the second daughter was relatively easy to guess.

Siegfried, who was attending the consuls' meeting with a purely spectator's mindset, silently took some melon seeds from the fruit plate on the table and started eating them.

"As for this matter, Kiana has mentioned it before, and the Seven Archons have also discussed it at a meeting. There are already preventative plans in place. A month ago, Kiana proposed to accelerate the construction of the lunar base, which was also in preparation for this moment."

"As expected of the Saintess Lord, she actually saw through the thoughts of those mortals long ago..."

The young Valkyrie governor blatantly flattered her.

Siegfried didn't expose the other party; the other party's performance was only to gain Freya's appreciation, so it couldn't be called despicable.

The desire to gain more power is the aspiration of the younger generation of Valkyrie.

Those Valkyrie from Freya's cohort or later are gradually taking on important positions in the Alliance, showing that they genuinely want to contribute to Freya's cause.

Siegfried scratched his head; he could somewhat understand the young Valkyrie governor's thoughts.

"Yes, we can proceed according to Frey... Kiana's preventative plan."

Even now, Siegfried still finds it hard to get used to the names of his eldest and second daughters.

Although Freya's current reputation means that even if she were to reveal herself as Kiana's clone, it wouldn't affect the Valkyrie's love for her, neither she nor Kiana wanted to change their names back. In fact, Kiana was very resistant to the idea of changing her name back.

The reason for exchanging names was that Kiana, when she left Schicksal, foresaw that one day the two of them would go their separate ways, and thus used this method to express her idea that she would never betray the other.

In reality, the World Serpent Organization was so badly tricked that it couldn't recover. In the end, Kiana, along with SU and Kevin, joined the League in a somewhat disheveled state. The thing she was most worried about didn't happen. Instead, she accidentally became addicted to changing her name.

When you possess someone else's name, you feel a sense of being with them.

Freya and Kiana use each other's names, which is fine for those who are used to calling each other by those names, but it's quite a headache for those who know the inside story.

Although many people have discovered this from the clues, and Siegfried, Tesla, Einstein and others have occasionally let it slip, Freya still uses the name Kiana, and Kiana still uses the name Freya. The tacit understanding between the sisters makes Aurora sister, a little jealous.

The governors present all wore stern faces, as if they hadn't heard a single word associated with the name 'Freya'.

Next, the council of chief officials began to discuss internal issues, deciding which ones needed to be submitted to higher authorities and which ones they would handle directly.

Siegfried serves under Kiana, one of the Seven Archons, and is in charge of the Alliance's transportation and logistics. Due to recent issues, the Alliance's transportation has encountered some problems.

"Simply put, because the Alliance spread rumors about new Honkai disease infection, some companies that originally cooperated with the Alliance have refused to continue cooperating with the Alliance."

Even if the alliance possesses pharmaceutical technology, it will naturally be unable to continue mass production of drugs once it loses the supply of pharmaceutical raw materials from its suppliers.

The alliance has not yet developed any drugs for prevention or treatment, and for the time being, it can only delay the outbreak of the new Honkai disease by increasing the dosage of the previous treatment drugs.

That's right, the new Honkai disease doesn't just break out after the infected person dies. Instead, it accumulates in the infected person's body to a certain extent before directly taking their life and then breaking out.

Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior are immune to the erosion of the new Honkai disease. The lower-level members of the Alliance are converting to the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody. Those who cannot convert in time will be converted to the most advanced antibody before the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody.

The Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody has a strong downward annealing effect, and can cover the antibody even when other antibodies are used, which avoids the step of clearing antibodies from the lower-level members.

However, the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody used in the lower layers is a simplified version, and subjects using this simplified version of the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody cannot undergo modification surgery.

This has resulted in only a small number of Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior currently being converted into Herrscher-style Valkyrie and Herrscher Fusion Warrior using the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody.

Siegfried gave a brief explanation of the problem he was facing, and the other officials quickly understood the predicament the alliance was in.

It's a pity that Tesla, Einstein, and others didn't attend this council meeting; with their wisdom, they might have been able to come up with a solution.

Ultimately, this meeting of the ruling officials was just a routine meeting held every three days. Not only were not all the ruling officials present, but the meeting also lacked a central figure because one of the Seven Archons, who is required to chair each meeting, was absent this time.

"If only Frey... Kiana were here."

That's right, Freya was the Seven Archons openly and legitimately skipped this meeting.

Left with no other option, Siegfried chose to report the matter to the Seven Archons for handling... It is foreseeable that Theresa may have to stay overnight in the conference hall again tomorrow.

It's not that the Council of Governors is useless; after all, it handles 90% of the Alliance's affairs. It's just that some of the troubles caused by Valkyrie are difficult to deal with.

The Valkyrie are, after all, the Alliance's military force, and only Theresa, who controls the Valkyrie, and Freya, who holds prestige among Valkyrie, can deal with them.

However, Freya was in charge of the medical and biological field. Although the problem that troubled Siegfried included the issue of drug raw materials, it actually fell under Kiana's responsibilities.

Siegfried certainly had the right to decide how to deal with these issues, but he ultimately wanted a permanent solution, despite his poor reputation and the fact that the Kaslana Family had often been described as a family of no brains. However, Siegfried himself had a keen intuition.

The suppliers who had maintained a cooperative relationship with the alliance for so many years refused to provide drug raw materials, and it was actually the suppliers of the drug raw materials who suffered losses.

Without the alliance's pharmaceutical technology, it would be useless for suppliers to stockpile any amount of drug raw materials.

As for using this to blackmail the alliance into handing over pharmaceutical technology, surely no fool would actually believe that such a thing would happen.

Siegfried wanted to know the current attitude of the Seven Archons. If it were Theresa, she would definitely propose to talk to the suppliers and then re-establish cooperation through the talks. With Theresa's level of expertise, this was indeed achievable. However, now that the lunar base construction plan was 90% successful, it was not possible to rely solely on Theresa's attitude.

Regardless, Freya is one of the Seven Archons.

Of course, while it's not exactly a case of "no one knows a son better than his father," Siegfried knew that Freya would definitely try to get revenge on the supplier who was causing her trouble at this time, and would definitely make the supplier cry and beg for mercy.

Thinking of this, Siegfried suddenly felt fortunate that Freya wasn't there. He gently tapped the table to attract the attention of the other governors.

On the other hand, the governors of the research department would usually skip the governor meetings held every three days, and Freya felt that she was also part of the research department, so she naturally skipped the governor meetings.

She spent a morning with Rita in Kyoto, in the far east, and was naturally in a very good mood.

For the time being, under the influence of her ability, the people in the Far East around her will subconsciously ignore her and Rita. They will only be noticed by the people they are talking to when they take the initiative to talk to Rita.

In addition to the ability to manipulate consciousness, Freya also has the ability to manipulate electromagnetism, so even surveillance cameras cannot capture her and Rita's presence.

Freya could have committed a perfect, impossible crime all by herself.

Putting aside the idea that a perfect crime is impossible, Freya had a wonderful day of fun in Kyoto with Rita, was actually waiting for someone.

"Lord Freya, do you think... Lady Fu Hua would really betray us?"

"I didn't say she betrayed us, I just think her current situation might not be normal."

Freya sighed softly. She didn't know whether to say it was a series of troubles or one problem after another.

Freya already knew about Siegfried's troubles before today's consuls' meeting began.

Who told her to have the most outstanding adjutant in the world?

She wasn't surprised by the actions of various countries in smearing the alliance; rather, she had anticipated it all along. However, while such behavior from other countries was indeed within Freya's expectations, Fu Hua, who wielded considerable influence over Shenzhou, found herself facing the same problem in the Shenzhou she was in charge of.

After that, the Alliance lost contact with Immortal Fu Hua. Even the Valkyrie squad was sent to find Immortal Fu Hua three days earlier had recently lost contact. However, Freya re-established contact with Immortal Fu Hua at that time, and then Freya arranged to meet her in Kyoto.

"Could it be..."

"Perhaps it is that difficult question, but Immortal Fu Hua's mental state has always been very stable, and Fu Lixue has also been reporting to me that her mental state is fine."

"Was Fu Lixue arranged by Lord Freya?"

"... Not really, but I did assign her some special missions. How should I put it, I wasn't actually waiting for Immortal Fu Hua..."

Freya leisurely sipped her juice, her gaze falling on the seats next to the open-air tea shop. She watched as a familiar-looking man with a single golden ponytail sat down with a smile, then pouted unhappily.

"It really was you, you bastard!"

505. That's it?

"My lovely Freya, after eight years, is this the first thing you should say to me?"

The man sitting at the next table wasn't angry at Freya's insulting remarks; instead, he laughed in a nonchalant tone.

"Oh..."

Freya curled her lips into a sneer, showing no restraint whatsoever.

She felt that the words "dog" perfectly described the other person's image.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. On the contrary, after eight years, they finally came out openly and honestly, and the first thing they did was to cause trouble for us, or rather, to betray their old friends. So I don't think there's anything wrong with my attitude."

"As expected of my lovely Freya. Speaking of which, your words seem less aggressive than before. Is it because you're immersed in a gentle environment?"

"Couldn't it be because you're more shameless?"

Freya rolled her eyes at the other person and replied somewhat irritably.

Freya spoke to Otto Apocalypse with an indifferent attitude when he suddenly appeared, but Rita, sitting next to her, tensed up immediately upon seeing the familiar face and became fully alert to the man sitting at the next table leisurely drinking tea.

Freya quietly patted Rita's knee to reassure her and continued speaking in a nonchalant manner.

"Anyway, the one appearing before me is just an avatar. Given your personality, even at this point, you wouldn't arrange for your true form to appear. By the way, why don't you dare to appear before me in your true form?"

Because of Freya's ability, the unrelated people around wouldn't notice what was happening at the two tables, so she deliberately spoke loudly and in a very sarcastic tone.

"Could it be that my not-so-lovable grandfather is so afraid of being killed by me? Don't worry, you are still my grandfather after all. How could I kill you with my own hands?"

"I have never forgotten your kindness in raising me. I have always regretted that the funeral I held for you a few years ago lacked a professional team performance, especially since the deceased was not lying in the coffin. There was no way to have a performance where the deceased lifted the coffin and danced with the professional team."

Aside from glancing at the other person at the beginning to confirm their identity, Freya completely ignored them for the rest of the time.

"Using Immortal Fu Hua should have fallen into your hands. As your old friend, Immortal Fu Hua must have had the worst luck in eight hundred lifetimes."

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect the lovely Freya to have grown so much. Eight years? It seems I've missed a lot in these eight years."

Otto's face showed a look of reminiscence, but Rita could not sense any sincerity from him.

"Ha, you bastard, you really dare to say that. I don't believe you would miss those things that are insignificant to you."

Freya had ignored Otto from the very beginning, only glancing at him once, so she naturally didn't see the expression on Otto's face.

Even so, she still knew what kind of performance Otto would put on.

"My dear Freya, I have never hurt my old friend."
