183 Chapter 183: "HoD, Vill-V"
While Kiana completed her mission to build a base on the island of Madagascar, other Valkyries who had the same task, began to spread throughout the world to complete this mega project.
Sirin, who could be said to be an apprentice at Schicksal, also entered the field, and she helped Aurora as a means of instant material transportation.
Everyone became busy once again.
Even Thea, who is the leader of Project Soteria, also helped by building several bases in important cities that were busy with population, using the power of the Herrscher of Reason stigmata.
Without realizing it, one month has passed quickly, and the Soteria project is almost 88% complete.
Now, all the densely populated cities are already built base, with intelligent robots guarding it. There are only a few remote islands that have not been accessible to normal paths, which are delaying the completion of this project.
Inside the Schicksal headquarters, in front of a giant monitor screen whose images were taken using satellites. Thea, who was looking at the digital world map, massaged her forehead in dizziness.
"Saintess Thea, you haven't slept for a month, so please get some rest. You're making me worry." Maria said helplessly.
She knew that if Saintess Thea didn't want to sleep, then she wouldn't sleep. She's like a perpetual machine. This is what makes Maria very worried.
No, I'm fine. You don't have to worry that I will die from a sudden heart attack. It was impossible. Compared to that, there's something I need to keep an eye on right now."
Maria was confused: "Saintess Thea is waiting for something? Are you worried about the soteria project? But won't it be finished in a few days?"
Thea shook her head.
"That's not what I was waiting for...."
What is the aim of the soteria project?
The Valkyries involved will definitely think that this is a project to eradicate Honkai from this world, and reclaim their home from the Honkai beasts.
But, as the originator of the idea, Thea only has one word for this project.
Bait.
"[Beep! Beep! Beep!]"
Heard the sound of the alarm she had been waiting for a long time. Thea looked at the world map on the screen, and she saw a red dot immediately appear on it.
A red dot appeared, and it indicated that the place had been contaminated by a very high concentration of honkai energy, and the base she had created could no longer handle it.
All of this will only indicate something.
Herrscher, will be born.
"Hahaha, It's panicked!"
Thea laughed.
The bait she placed was finally eaten.
If she took over the perspective of the Will of Honkai, and imagined that humanity had built a machine that could neutralize honkai energy in all corners of the world, then of course she would think that it would make her very passive.
To create the Herrscher, they needed a very large amount of honkai energy, and created an Imaginary singularity to create the herrscher core.
During the process of collecting honkai energy, side effects are created from the encounter between energies, and cause disasters which are usually called honkai impacts.
Honkai impacts are signs of gathering honkai energy in a certain area. If they want to get rid of it, then they have to wait for the honkai energy around there to become less.
Now, because she felt the need for revenge for Will of Honkai's behavior a few months ago. Thea tries to build a machine using Selene's machine principles, and this creates a machine that can disperse honkai energy.
There is no honkai impact, so there is no Herrscher.
If there was no Herrscher, no matter how much it's disturbed the material plane, then all It's efforts would be in vain.
Of course the other party will definitely fight back.
This is what Thea wants to see.
"Never underestimate the enemy. Although Herrschers in this era have their own personalities and will not bend to the will of the Will of Honkai, Herrschers are still Herrschers, they are still an unstable factor."
Calm her heart, and try to reflect on herself for a moment. Thea, who was staring at the screen, frowned in confusion.
"Nagazora? Is this a coincidence, or is it's really targeting Mei?"
"What is she planning?"
Thea felt that this fish had no awareness of being prey at all.
This will be a tough battle.
____
Nagazora, central center, 12 noon.
Two hours ago...
Since the Soteria project started one month ago, the city of Nagazora, which has a population of 30 million, has of course been included in the Schicksal monitoring list.
Raiden Ryoma, as a member of the Anti-Entropy executive, and head of ME Corp, will of course oversee the current development projects in his city.
He worked day and night as usual. But today, when he was going to hold a company meeting, his car suddenly turned around, and he went straight to the hospital at full speed.
The man who covered Nagazora's sky with his hands, was currently walking in the hospital hallway with a very worried face.
"Click!"
Opened the VIP ward door, and entered the room without knocking. Ryoma, who saw his daughter who was currently sitting on the hospital bed, felt his heartbeat become very slow.
Several images of the past came to him instantly.
Just like past, the hospital ward, and his wife lying there.
"Father?"
Mei, who had just woken up, looked at her father with a confused look.
On normal days, even though they had a good father and daughter relationship, after her mother died, the two of them saw each other less and less.
Growing up alone in a big house, and starting to act independently. Mei is now less dependent on her father anymore.
But, when she saw her father who came to visit her. Mei somehow felt very happy.
It seemed like her father wasn't that indifferent to her.
He still cares.
"What about your current body condition? Why did you suddenly faint at school? Do you feel unwell?
Asked with so many questions. Mei who saw her father worried about her condition, smiled slightly.
"Father, you don't need to worry. Actually, the doctor said that I was just tired after doing too much activity at school. Just rest for a while and I'll get better soon."
Ryoma shook his head: "No, let's do a CT scan first. Dad will accompany you."
Mei is troubled: "Dad, I'm fine! There's no need to do any scans!"
Ryoma still stared at his daughter with an unmoving gaze.
Mei probably felt this was very troublesome and a waste of time. But for him, this is a very important thing.
There was a secret he never told his daughter.
She, has cancer.
Just like her mother.
Not only that, the awakening of the natural stigma in her daughter's body also made her very anxious.
Not all natural stigma is good. Whoever survives will get stigma. But, if it cannot adapt, the owner will die.
Her daughter had two terminal illnesses which made him very desperate.
However, because he had promised in front of his wife's grave to look after their only daughter. Ryoma won't give up easily.
He had previously made an agreement with Cocolia to stage a staged kidnapping scene, and let her plant the Gem of Conquest into the body of her daughter, who was still very young at that time.
The problem of natural stigma in her daughter's body was temporarily postponed.
However, knowing that she would not be cured by just drinking poison. Ryoma, who didn't want his only daughter to leave him either, started climbing the technology tree in desperation.
He works day and night.
Just to save his daughter.
Now, suspecting that Mei's sudden fainting had something to do with the cancer in her body, Ryoma won't go anywhere until he finds out the truth.
"We need to go get a scan."
Ugh... Alright, I'll listen." Mei who saw her father who suddenly became very stubborn, could only sigh in helpless.
Move her body, and deciding to stand up on her own, told her father that her body was completely fine at the moment. Mei, who had just gotten out of bed, suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Who's that?" Ryoma frowned warily.
As someone who had entered the black, gray and white area, Ryoma felt that there was something strange here.
Seeing a nurse entering the room without carrying any medical equipment. Ryoma's body tensed, and he immediately protected Mei behind his back.
"Father?"
Mei blinked in confusion.
Ryoma asked: "Who are you? I have ordered my guards to guard the entrance, and not allow anyone to come in. What do you want?"
The nurse Ryoma had just spoken to, winked her right eye coquettishly.
"Don't worry too much, I just want to hold one of my magic shows here~"
"Are you interested in being my audience, esteemed guests? You two will definitely not be disappointed!"
"I, the genius magician of the previous era, will create my masterpiece that will be second to none in this era, and engrave my name once again in the minds of all the spectators!"
"I, Vill-V, Herrscher of Domination!"
"Announcing that the stage performance that will deceive the entire world of the world, starts from now!"
