99 Chapter 99: "You already lost at the beginning of the game"

The selection and inauguration of the patriarchs of the Schariac and Kaslana houses will take place on the same day, in the March.

In the beginning, all of this was just a very simple handover of the Saintess position of the Schariac family to Thea. But seeing an opportunity, the Kaslana house which was still in the same chaos as Schariac's house, took this opportunity to get out of the quagmire, and they also started to choose their own patriarch themself.

Maybe this can be said, releasing a chicken, became released all of them.

Otto, who was a cunning wolf, could only sigh helplessly, and he could only let the chickens enjoy themselves for a while before he caught them again as before.

However, even though the Kaslana house made a bit of a mess, everything still went according to plan.

"It's quite crowded here too. I didn't expect that the inauguration of the patriarch of the Schariac, and Kaslana's houses would be this crowded." Aurora looked around her with interest.

Bianka nodded her head: "Of course it will be a lively scene. All the valkyries who have no duties, gathered back at the Schicksal headquarters just to watch the inauguration ceremony live. Even though the Kaslana family and Schariac family have been declining every year, they are still a famous noble family just like the Apocalipse family."

"All this time the position of the patriarch of the two houses became vacant which caused a lot of external and internal chaos. Now that they have re-elected their patriarch, it is hoped that this chaos will end soon."

"Schicksal will receive their second spring."

Bianka shared some general knowledge that she knew with Aurora.

At least that's what she thinks, and in the opinion of most other valkyries.

Gathering in the vast Schicksal Field, thousands of valkyries from all over the world were present here, and they all gathered only to look forward to the historic event that was about to happen in the near future.

Hundreds of Mecha Schicksals were deployed to control the crowd, and drones continuously hovered over the ceiling to record activity, and monitor public safety.

Many media outlets that Schicksal had a working relationship with were also gathered here, and they all had the duty to spread this news to everyone around the world.

Of course, spies from Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent would also be present at this festive event to gather more information.

Theresa Apocalipse, Cheng Lixue, Himeko, Ragna, and even Fu Hua, who were all currently Schicksal's valkyries, were also present at this event, which would determine Schicksal's further future.

They all knew that after this inauguration ceremony, Schicksal would be completely different.

They just don't know if it's going to be really good, or really bad.

Only the future can answer that.

Wait another half hour before the inauguration ceremony begins. Aurora who joined the Immortal Blade, and had the duty to control the dense crowd of valkyries, yawned widely.

"I didn't expect that the pathetic dog would play big enough. Suddenly instantly became the leader of Schariac's house. She turns out to be quite an ambitious person."

Aurora seems to be starting to understand the reason why Thea wants to go to Schicksal's headquarters.

Maybe this could also be her chance to save Bella who is currently frozen in the Siberia.

"Speaking of which, didn't she say that there would be a selection competition first? But why is it suddenly a inauguration ceremony?"

At Aurora's question, this time Rita herself answered it.

"Yes, in the beginning the House of Schariac had their own candidate Saintess they wanted to support. Her name was Maria Schariac."

"However due to certain reasons, she chose to withdraw from fighting for the Saintess position, and this caused Thea to instantly become the sole successor to the patriarch of the Schariac house."

Aurora raised her eyebrows: "That stinky sister won't use underhanded means will she?"

Rita shook her head: "Of course not. Miss Aurora needn't worry, This selection is very fair and equal."

As the wise man once said.

Negotiations start when negotiations have not started.

The Schariac House originally also had their own Saintess candidate they wanted to choose from. However, Thea thwarts their plan very easily.

Before the selection, Thea had already increased her own popularity to almost the same as Durandal's.

Durandal, the name Bianka took in honor of the sword, and at the same time her friend, is the name most respected by all valkyries today.

Just like Cecilia who used to be called the number one Valkyrie in her era, and was idolized by many people. Bianka, who now also holds the current number one valkyrie title, also has the same reputation.

Then, what if she defeated Durandal, or was on par with her?

Well, even though it's embarrassing to say, Thea borrowed her sister's popularity to become famous.

Plus she was also the daughter of Cecilia, Schicksal's former number one valkyrie, her reputation was raised again, and many valkyries thought that she would take back her mother's position as the Saintess of the Schariac house.

Many old veteran valkyries, and young valkyries washed up by heroic tales, would like to see this happen again.

As a result, Thea instantly gained popularity, and her supporters with great ease.

Moreover, the most important reason why Maria Schariac was able to step down from the position of selecting the Saintess candidate so easily, was also due to some simple reasons.

She thought that her current opponent was only relying on the popularity of her mother, and elder sister. But when she challenged Thea's data in the Memorial Arena, she finally noticed a gap between a mortal, and a monster.

Thea's strength in the memorial arena is about the same as Durandal's. Totally unreasonable.

This meant that she deserved her current reputation. After all, this world still views strength as the ultimate yardstick.

Weren't Cecilia and Siegfried in their era the most powerful valkyries? So because of that the two of them could become the patriarchs of their families?

As a self-conscious human, Maria chose to voluntarily withdraw from the selection for the Saintess candidate position.

Fight again? It's useless.

Under absolute power, everything becomes so meaningless.

As a result, the Saintess selection event was skipped, and went straight to the inauguration ceremony in one go.

"A nice day, I am Otto Apocalypse, the bishop of the Apocalypse family. Will be starting the ceremony of inaugurating our new Saintess and Knight..."

Stand on the stage, and greet all the valkyries who have been waiting for this event for a long time. Otto spoke very confidently, and he gave a small smile.

An event that will completely change world history.

An event, where the Stigma project will start soon.

And also...

An event, in which an outside player, finally enters the chessboard, named [Schicksal.]

"I won't put it off any longer. Then, let's begin the inauguration."

Otto narrowed his eyes slyly.

Thea Schariac, you've fallen into my trap.
