Chapter 438
Even if they hate each other, they will inevitably choose to cooperate when facing a common enemy. However, compared to Welt and Otto, who are enemies to begin with, Siegfried, as the head of the Kaslana Family, is Otto's true teammate.
Although the other two families of the three major families were largely removed from the alliance's management due to Otto's centralized power, it did not mean that the three families were hostile to each other. While taking back power from the other two families, Otto also exchanged many benefits with them.
Otto attacking Welt is normal hostile behavior, but when he attacks himself, he's really sabotaging his teammate.
Not only that, he ruined himself, his wife, and even his daughter.
This is blatant betrayal.
So Siegfried didn't hesitate to make a gesture that was common in a certain country to Otto.
"Siegfried..."
Even though Otto maintained a good attitude, he was almost driven mad by Siegfried's actions.
"You bastard!"
Otto naturally held a different view from Siegfried regarding the Second Eruption 2000, especially since he personally disliked Siegfried for being self-willed, disobedient, and prone to defecting to the enemy.
The Schicksal and the Anti-Entropy Organization have always been enemies. However, Siegfried became quite friendly and started working together because Welt helped him fight the monsters.
Indeed, Otto almost smashed the security camera when he saw this.
Not only did he act alongside the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Entropy organization, but he also dragged Cecilia down with him. Indeed, in Otto's eyes, Cecilia, the Herrscher Killer he had carefully trained, was enough to deal with the Second Herrscher, and he didn't even need to sacrifice his own life.
The reason for this outcome was that Siegfried completely disobeyed orders, which was a kind of uncontrollable and dangerous factor.
This is also why Otto decided to silence Siegfried after discovering that Siegfried had unleashed an unknown power.
Siegfried, whose strength was already average, only caused trouble for himself. The stronger his abilities became, the more they conflicted with his own ideas.
Having grown up in the Schicksal Headquarters Cecilia would never refuse any of his orders. Even if Kiana was asked to cooperate with the experiment, Cecilia would eventually agree, though she would ask Otto to make sure the experiment did not harm Kiana as much as possible, and Otto would certainly agree.
Of course, there are always differing opinions about the Second Eruption.
At least Otto doesn't believe he should bear full responsibility for the Second Eruption, while Siegfried and others believe that Otto must be responsible for all the innocent people who sacrificed themselves in the Second Eruption.
However, the only person who could so easily make Otto lose his composure was Siegfried. For some reason, that internationally recognized hand gesture made people unconsciously feel an urge to beat Siegfried up.
509. That's similar to the Mind Skill I recently developed.
Leaving aside the debate about the Second Eruption, Freya couldn't very well say that she had reviewed Otto's original plans.
Although Otto's planned success rate in controlling the Second Herrscher was indeed not low, as he himself said, the plan completely went off track from the moment Siegfried started interfering.
Simply put, Otto went too far.
Siegfried was indeed an unstable factor, but Otto also underestimated the power of the six-core Sirin.
Fu Hua, who was originally intended as his last trump card, failed to kill Sirin directly, which led to Cecilia and Siegfried being captured together.
Freya clapped her hands, drawing the attention of everyone else in the conference room.
"Alright, don't rush to question this bastard. I brought him here not to put him on trial. The reason I called the members of the meeting room today is because you know more about the inside story, and there are some things I need to explain to you."
Freya pointed to her seat in the conference room and addressed the others who had not yet taken their seats.
"Anyway, please sit down first. Father, please sit down."
Although Siegfried's actions during the Second Eruption were indeed too reckless, it cannot be denied that without him, the Second Eruption might have had a different outcome.
After all, Otto messed things up. Even if he had some kind of physical way to clean up the mess, the damage that method would cause to the environment would be far more serious than the damage caused by the Second Herrscher.
"..."
Hearing Freya's words, Siegfried really wanted to punch Otto in the face, but in the end he obediently complied with his second daughter's request.
Of course, Siegfried was overjoyed to hear Freya call him "father" again after so long, and had long forgotten about Otto.
The other members who hadn't yet taken their seats returned to their places, while Tesla and Welt had already been seated in their places.
"I told you, we definitely wouldn't end up arguing."
"You really do know Freya very well..."
Seeing the smug expression on his wife's face, Welt didn't say much, but just quietly watched everything.
As everyone took their seats, Ryoma, who was participating in the meeting via remote communication, waited patiently on the other end of the communication line. Freya slowly explained why she had brought Otto to the League.
When Otto was mentioned as voluntarily taking the risk of going to the Sea of Quanta, Tesla and the others, who knew about the Sea of Quanta, frowned.
Frankly, they had no intention of sending a dangerous person like Otto to the Sea of Quanta.
Just as Freya had initially opposed.
Even though the risks of going to the Sea of Quanta are too great, Tesla and her team are unwilling to let Otto be the subject of this experiment.
"Freya, I object."
Tesla quickly winked twice at Welt beside him, and Welt immediately understood and stood up and spoke.
"Mr. Welt, I know you don't trust this bastard, and well, I don't want to trust him either, but this time, I've made a deal with him."
With that, Freya announced the deal she had made with Otto.
Because of her previous cover-up, even among the core members here, few knew that Fu Hua had gone missing and had even become the new Herrscher of Consciousness.
"The Herrscher of Consciousness is not a formidable enemy; the Alliance currently has one Herrscher of Consciousness imprisoned."
"The Herrscher of Consciousness that Kiki is guarding is incredibly weak. The overall level of our world is much weaker than that of our world."
Freya did not elaborate on the differences between the people in the parallel world and their counterparts in this different time and space.
In fact, there is a huge gap between Aurora and Kiki, who are both K423, not to mention the level of their respective Herrscher.
The Herrscher of Consciousness that has just been born here is definitely more powerful than the Herrscher of Consciousness in parallel worlds.
If that were all, Freya, with her superhuman abilities and consciousness exceeding their limits, would have no fear. However, the Honkai allowed the Herrscher of Consciousness to replicate everything she had done in a parallel world.
Freya's consciousness completely broke through the limits, reaching the point of distorting reality and being able to create substances like the 'Order Stone', precisely because she established a world of consciousness in a parallel world and received a large amount of feedback.
Freya was not afraid that the Herrscher of Consciousness in her own world would become stronger in the same way. After all, no matter how strong the Herrscher of Knowledge was, it was still just Herrscher of Consciousness, while Freya was little Herrscher of Finality.
There are three such little Herrscher of Finality in this world.
They are not afraid that the Herrscher of Consciousness will gain the same great power, as they can naturally defeat the Herrscher of Consciousness with the power of the Finality. However, Freya does not want the Herrscher of Consciousness to decipher the secrets of the world of consciousness.
While Freya couldn't prevent this from happening in other parallel worlds, she could at least try to prevent the Herrscher of Consciousness in this world from having the means to breach the world of consciousness. After all, connecting the world of consciousness created by all consciousnesses was a way out.
Just like Mei's Ark Project.
Although Kevin and his crew lost contact with the Ark that had left Earth more than a thousand years ago, having an extra escape route was certainly a wise choice.
Freya was naturally in a great hurry to preserve this escape route.
After she explained the concept of the world of consciousness to everyone, the materialist researchers were all dumbfounded. Even SU, who had been switching back and forth between the two, had a look on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?"
The very fact that consciousness distorts reality to create fictitious matter has already taken these researchers a great deal of time to digest.
"I think, therefore I am?"
Idealism cannot exist without this proposition, Kevin said after chewing for a moment.
"That's similar to the Mind Skill I recently developed."
"???"
"??"
"Mind Skill??"
Kevin's words were like a thunderclap, stunning everyone in the conference room once again. Even Otto regretted his choice at this moment. After all, he was a typical researcher with the strong curiosity unique to researchers.
Faced with astonished expressions and his best friend's "When did you make this?" look, Kevin smiled and explained the Mind Skill he had recently discovered.
"Freya previously mentioned two major systems: superpowers and biology, as well as a consciousness system, or Willpower System, which is independent of both but closely related to them. She uses her will to distort reality to create things, while I try to shatter reality with my own will."
"Uh... what exactly did reality do wrong that you have to treat it like this?"
Freya couldn't help but complain, which made the others chuckle, but the researchers with their strong curiosity glared at her, clearly annoyed that she had ruined the atmosphere.
Freya wasn't angry, after all, she herself was quite curious about Kevin's methods.
Kevin is a triple-elemental bloomer, but only his biological element has reached the super-limit level. However, this does not mean that his other two elements are weak.
His will clearly touched the edge of the super-limit level, thus successfully distorting reality with his own will.
Freya always thought that the second person to distort reality with their own will must be Fu Hua, who was very talented in this area, or SU, who was on this path but went astray from the beginning.
She truly hadn't expected that the second person to reach this level would be a brute who had built muscle into his brain, and who might even have created a system different from his own.
"Simply put, it means using one's own will to distort reality, turning what is a normal phenomenon into an abnormal one."
Starting with this sentence, Kevin gave a brief explanation of the Mind Skill he created. However, although he had been in charge of many scientific research projects, he was essentially a reckless man, which made the researchers present feel extremely tired.
"I said, Kevin, why don't you actually demonstrate it?"
"Alright, let me demonstrate in practice. For example, if I gently press my hand on this alloy table right now... if I just apply force, I can only make the alloy table dent, but with the enhancement of the Mind Skill, if I want to destroy this table..."
As he said this, he applied a little more pressure to the alloy table, and the table instantly became covered in cracks. Theoretically, the alloy table that Theresa could punch all day long was quickly turned into a wreckage composed of countless alloy fragments.
"Oh, Master, for deliberately damaging the organization's property, I need to deduct your salary for next month."
Kiana suddenly said coldly.
As Kevin's disciple, or rather, a member of Kevin's school of thought, she quickly grasped the essence of Mind Skill. However, the thought that Kevin had created a new system but had kept it from her made her very angry.
Of course, those who understand Mind Skill will instantly grasp their meaning.
Some so-called warriors, such as Ryoma and Siegfried, realized what Mind Skill was earlier than the researchers.
"Using consciousness to strengthen oneself? I see, so this is what shattering reality means."
Freya gently tapped the alloy table in front of her with her finger, while simultaneously channeling her will to cut the alloy table into neat squares.
The next moment, the alloy table in front of her disintegrated into metal blocks of varying sizes.
"Freya! How did you master it so quickly? No, how come you can even understand it?!"
Tesla shouted.
Kevin's explanation of the Mind Skill has no scientific basis whatsoever. It's purely a matter of idealism. In short, it's about swinging your fist at a wall and imagining that you can break through it. Under the influence of willpower distorting reality, what was originally just an ordinary fist successfully breaks through the stone wall made of bricks.
Freya felt that her theory was idealistic enough, but in reality, her distortion of reality with her will was projected into the Imaginary Space, and her act of creating the Order Stone was like pulling off the products that existed in those uncertain worlds from the uncertain world of the Imaginary Space.
Essentially, she is converting an imaginary substance into a real substance through her own will.
Kevin's actions, on the other hand, transformed the possibilities of an imaginary world into predetermined facts through his own will.
The stone, which cannot be broken by an egg, is transformed by Kevin's twisted will into a fact that an egg can break a stone from countless imaginary worlds, thus projecting this possibility onto the real world at hand.
That's what they say, and that's the theory.
But for materialistic researchers, the only thought is, "What the hell is all this?"
Freya shrugged, indicating that it really wasn't difficult.
Tesla leaned casually against Einstein, looking as if he had given up on research related to the Willpower System.
510. — I am the Herrscher.
What is the distortion of reality by will?
In short, it means turning the impossible into the possible, and the non-existent into the existent.
The former is Kevin's way of distorting reality, while the latter is Freya's way of distorting reality.
However, regardless of which one, they are all very unfriendly to materialistic scientists.
The researchers in the conference room chose to give up on delving into the Mind Skill of the idealistic system, while the warriors who could understand its essence were still unable to infuse their own will into it like Kevin and Freya.
As for Otto, who was originally prepared to sacrifice himself, he now wants to stay in the league to study the Mind Skill created by Kevin.
"Make the impossible possible."
This idealistic force can trigger unknown situations.
Just like the words Otto was repeatedly pondering, both Freya's fantasy materialization and Kevin's Mind Skill had the potential to increase his ability to withstand risks.
Otto is about to travel to the Sea of Quanta, and these two systems of will will make his journey much smoother.
Or perhaps his original destiny upon arriving at the Sea of Quanta was death, but through the distortion of his own will, this outcome was transformed into a non-death ending.
Simply put, Otto's current mindset is, "Coach, I want to learn Mind Skill, and I also want to learn fantasy materialization."
