"By the way, Ein, tell everyone I'm back, but not anyone unfamiliar. "Edison is more qualified than I am to lead the Anti-Entropy Alliance.
After finishing the conversation with Welt, Tian Shi reminded Einstein.
He is still mentally sane.
His mission as the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is to serve as a core to ensure that scientists whose values are more or less different do not have internal conflicts.
Apart from that, he doesn't need to do anything.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Worrying about them will only make things worse.
"Yes, I know." Einstein was obviously clear about this. "But in recent years, some new people have joined the senior management of Anti-Entropy. Tian Shi, you should know them too."
"Newcomers?" Speaking of the newcomers to Anti-Entropy...
"One is the president of the world's top company, ME, Raiden Ryoma, led by Dr. Planck; the other is a former Soviet captain, Cocolia, under Miss Reanna."
"Not an executive officer?" Tian Shi was a little surprised by what Einstein said.
"No, but their actual power is no less than that of the executive officer." Einstein replied, "But neither of them is at headquarters now, and it will take some time to recall them."
Tian Shi roughly understood that the reason why Raiden Ryoma and Cocolia didn't become executives was entirely because there was someone stronger above them.
For example, above Raiden Ryoma is Edison; yes, Edison, not Planck.
Edison is an absolute crushing force for Raiden Ryoma, from scientific research to business.
Cocolia's situation is even simpler. Her immediate superior, Reanna, is a Valkyrie who has been on the front lines for nearly two hundred years. The phrase "battle-hardened" is an insult to Reanna when used to describe her.
She is a true warrior who has lived through thousands of battles and was even in World War I and World War II. An interesting thing is that in the Honkai worldview, war criminals who caused war will show excessive levels of Honkai in their bodies in later tests, which means that the spirits of these people have been eroded by Honkai.
"No, I can't stay at headquarters for too long at the moment. It will cause suspicion in my current host... Trust is something that is hard-earned." Tian Shi rejected Einstein's proposal.
However, Einstein's eyes lit up, showing an interested look, "The current host?"
"The S-rank Destiny Valkyrie, Rita Rossweisse." There is nothing to hide about this.
"Otherwise, it's just what I thought. Anyone who can be your host, Tian Shi, is a hero of the era."
"Why do I feel like someone is praising themselves?"
"I'm just stating the facts," Einstein smiled slightly, "However, I didn't expect it to be her... Then I can't tell Dr. Tesla this news."
Tian Shi thought about it for a moment and suddenly remembered that Rita captured Tesla and Himeko together when they attacked Schicksal.
The two of them have a bit of a grudge, and Tesla is the vengeful type. If Tesla knows he's with Rita now, there must be some unrest. Although objectively speaking, the fact that Tesla was able to return alive and intact was already a sign of Rita's mercy...
"Then I'll go back first... By the way, take care of Tesla. Ein, you and Reanna can go together."
"We have already made preparations. In two days, I will lead my men to Haiyuan City to join Cocolia, but Tian Shi, you should pay more attention to the Anti-Entroy side."
"Okay."
08:30 AM
"Unfortunately, it seems my vacation is over." Rita looked at the commands transmitted on her computer and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's how working people are." Rita had no intention of covering the computer, so Tian Shi could clearly see the commands on it.
"But does Otto give orders so lightly now?"
"After all, the Bishop is very busy." Rita said it with a smile, as if she was used to it.
I don't believe you! That guy is probably sitting in his room throwing shit at me in the game!
"But this mission is not reconnaissance... but a real arrest operation."
Although Rita still maintained a smile, it was obvious that there was a bit of solemnity in her words. Although they said they were going to capture K-423, the person they were actually going to capture was the Herrscher of the Void.
It would be fine if the opponent didn't use the power of the Herrscher of the Void from beginning to end. But once they used it, even if it was an S-class Valkyrie, they would only be a larger ant.
At least, Rita thought that her fighting ability was far inferior to that of the master who was willing to sacrifice his life to save his students.
"In other words, you have to pretend to be working hard in this operation, right?" Tian Shi didn't care at all.
Rita is a person who is only unlucky, but has no intention of being truly loyal to Schicksal.
"That's what he said, Mr. Ghost. It has nothing to do with me. It's an honor for me to serve the Bishop." Rita showed her identity as "Loyal to Schicksal" with a smile on her face.
[Rita Compatibility +3%]
You are completely exposed... But it seems that Rita is someone who can really say, "Excellency Bishop, I do not lie."
"Haha." If you say yes, then it is. Rita didn't care about Tian Shi's reaction but looked at Otto's order with some distress.
"I am in command of the Immortal Blades team to carry out this mission... I am afraid this will inevitably alert the enemy."
It's easy for Rita if she's alone. She is a very rare type among Valkyries, proficient in both assassination and espionage.
Rita knows everything a spy should know, such as disguise and infiltration. But as for squads... even an Immortal Blades squad has technicians and medics in addition to combatants.
And most of the combatants don't have those disguise and infiltration skills, so how can they rely on the technicians and medics?
"Here are the arrangements for you." Tian Shi lightly swiped the steering wheel.
"It seems that in addition to the pursuit mission, they also intend to monitor the World Serpent at the same time."
"Oh?" Rita glanced over and found that it was indeed the case.
"And to avoid alerting the enemy, the Bishop also provided us with a reasonable identity... to inspect the cooperative company?" This is a rare reason.
Schicksal has contacts and even cooperation to varying degrees with many large companies around the world. For example, Edison, president of General Motors, signed a European recovery plan with Schicksal to buy the North American branch sixty years ago.
As for the small ones... there are too many to count, such as material suppliers and the like.
"Shencheng Medicine?" Rita whispered the name of the company she was about to inspect.
The following is also accompanied by Otto's introduction to Shencheng Medicine.
"A company that provides free medical services to people affected by Honkai around the world...? And for several months, Schicksal has used this company as an entry point to provide Honkai vaccines and various relief supplies to Shenzhou... Bishop Otto has ordered me to act as a representative and deliver a new batch of supplies, so that I can legitimately access Shencheng Medicine's channels and resources."
Tian Shi rolled his eyes. It's not Rita's fault for her carelessness this time. Who let Otto send her directly to the World Serpent's lair?
However, the World Serpent is not very lucky this time.
With Welt nearby, it seems that Kevin has no chance of getting out. Without Kevin to keep the world in check, the World Serpent would actually just be a snake lurking in the shadows and might not even have the courage to come out and bite people.
To put it bluntly, Welt is now fully capable of keeping Kevin locked up for another two thousand years...
"Kiana, it's time to wake up." A familiar voice sounded in Kiana's ears.
"Um... do you have to get up so early..."
"Kiana, there's no time to be lazy." Phoenix Fu Hua spoke the truth calmly.
"!!" Kiana finally woke up, "Where is this?"
"This is a dream," Fu Hua said softly.
"Dream? The flowers and plants here are almost the same as real ones." Kiana looked around in amazement and found that she seemed to be in a training ground in the mountains.
"This is the illusion created by the Eighth Divine Key, Fenghuang Down. It is the union of your memory and mine." Fu Hua explained, "What you have learned in the past is not enough to face the danger ahead. I should have enough time to teach you something."
Speaking of this, Fu Hua paused.
"Although I am probably a failed teacher and will never be as wise or brilliant as Master Tian, I will do my best to teach you."
"Master Tian? Who is that?" Kiana had a confused expression on her face, "Isn't our teacher Master Himeko?" Speaking of Himeko, Kiana's tone dropped again.
"Master Tian is my teacher and my guide," Fu Hua said softly with a nostalgic tone, "As for Himeko... Although she is a teacher, I think she is more like a friend."
"Huh? Squad leader, your guide?" Kiana showed a curious expression on her face, "What kind of person is he?"
"Really, Kiana, now is not the time to waste time on curiosity."
"Ah, yes!" Kiana nodded, "Training, right? As long as it makes me stronger, no matter how hard or tiring it is!"
In just a few months, Kiana matured rapidly.
These kinds of words are absolutely impossible to hear from Kiana, who once failed all her subjects. It's the same as my past self.
At that time, I had just entered high school and stepped onto the battlefield under Master Tian's guidance. In just a few months, I grew rapidly, even though I have always been an excellent student and never failed a subject.
Fu Hua still doesn't understand how Kiana failed all her subjects.
Even if you get a C in all subjects, you might be able to pass one subject. But now, looking at Kiana who could say "As long as I get stronger, no matter how hard or tiring it is," Fu Hua suddenly understood why Master Tian occasionally expressed guilt and apologies towards her.
Kiana... was also forced to mature by this world. Obviously, Kiana has become sensible, but Fu Hua is not happy.
"Squad leader? Why did you suddenly show that expression?"
"No, it's nothing. Let's start practicing. I'll teach you from the most basic stances."
"Gray Serpent, haven't you been able to save the Lord?" The masked Jackal looked helplessly at the gray serpent on the screen.
"..." Facing the helpless tone of the Jackal, the gray serpent couldn't help but remain silent.
The Jackal had always been an arrogant and conceited person, and the fact that she used such a tired and helpless tone could only mean that Jackal was indeed a little disappointed.
"Probably... will it take some time?" Gray Serpent said uncertainly, "Anti-Entropy has already arrived in Haiyuan City. It's impossible for them to remain indifferent to the Quantum Sea. With a little guidance, maybe we can take this opportunity to rescue the Lord."
Back then, everyone was complacent and ready to welcome the Lord's return, but now it has become rescuing the Lord.
Without him, Gray Serpent found that the maze that Welt left behind to "close the door" seemed impossible to break through.
Although Gray Snake can fully understand his Lord Kevin's hatred for the Herrschers, what are you thinking? How dare you attack an original Herrscher with the Star of Eden without even a proper weapon? Joyce, who took the Star of Eden, is almost equal to the Herrscher of Reason to the Herrscher of Earth.
In other words, Kevin's fight with Welt was basically like beating two Herrschers with his bare hands.
You are a fusion warrior... No, if each of you thirteen heroes could beat two Herrschers with your bare hands, you would have killed the End long ago.
Gray Serpent, who didn't want to swear, could only say that he was worthy of being his own Lord and would never bow down to the forces of Honkai. Well, as the price for not bowing his head, Gray Serpent no longer knows when the prison door of his Honorable Lord will be opened.
And he didn't dare to move too much. After all, Joyce was still alive and well. If he really attracted him, his Lord would be in prison for the rest of his life.
"Do you still need time...?" There is absolutely no arrogance in Jackal now.
"Gray Serpent, if this doesn't work, let's divide the luggage and go back to our respective homes."
"Hmm?" Gray Serpent's hoarse voice instantly contained a hint of killing intent, "Jackal, do you want to betray the Lord?"
"No, my loyalty to the Lord is known to all."
The Jackal's voice became increasingly hopeless, "But... according to the latest information, the First Herrscher, Welt Joyce, has just departed from Anti-Entropy Headquarters and flown to Haiyuan City."
It's not that she's disloyal, but for some beings... the gap in power cannot be compensated by IQ.
She was arrogant, but not stupid; she was someone who even beat her own esteemed teacher, and nothing happened to her afterward.
Jackal wasn't so arrogant as to think she was stronger and more capable than Kevin.
"..." Gray Serpent also fell silent.
No, Gray Serpent has fallen into reflection. What part of you is exposed? Shouldn't it be? I was just circling the periphery.
Although he didn't know the reason, Gray Snake felt that Kevin would probably spend the rest of his life in prison.
Pack up the luggage and separate...?
