Yaesakura finally woke up completely and noticed that Theresa was covering her mouth with her hands but her eyes were darting around, as if she was up to something.
"Good morning, Theresa."
Yaesakura didn't care about those little thoughts, she just stroked Theresa's head gently with a gentle and doting smile.
Theresa blushed.
"Good morning, Sakura."
A new day begins.
A new era has begun. Otto has disappeared, and the entire destiny will move in a new direction. And Theresa, it is time for her to become a more mature and independent school principal.
Theresa looked thoughtful, then smiled brilliantly.
……
Yaezakura did not stay in St. Freyadu.
After seeing that Theresa had come out of her uncontrollable grief, Yaesakura briefly chatted with the others.
Then, under Theresa's reluctant gaze, he entered the computer and climbed back to the Destiny Headquarters along the network cable.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look at your pitiful eyes. It's only been a few days. How come you've been conquered by someone?"
"Himeko! Did you tell on me in front of Sakura? I'm going to dock your wages!"
"Whatever. I'm not short of money."
Tachibana Yuki is Angie and Angie is Tachibana Yuki.
With a clone of the richest man in the Far East, how could Ji Zi have any financial troubles?
They could easily find some excuses to attribute all kinds of assets to Jizi. At first, she would righteously say that she would not accept bribes, but after refusing many times to no avail, Jizi was too lazy to care about it. After all, she couldn't turn her face just because someone gave her a big gift, right?
Therefore, withholding wages is no longer a threat to Ji Zi.
Theresa was more or less aware of all this. Jizi was a clear-headed person, so she would naturally discuss the sending of such bizarre gift packages with Theresa, her boss and close friend for many years.
Theresa knew that she had lost her intimidation by withholding wages, so she simply became more aggressive and rushed over with her teeth and claws bared.
"Hey! Theresa, what are you doing?"
"Give me my life!"
"what!!!"
The two of them were at odds with each other, and it was an unbearable sight of the former S-rank Valkyrie brute forcefully bullying the A-rank Valkyrie.
In short, Theresa has come out of it, and Yaezakura has also completed the first communication with Saint Freya, the most complicated branch, ensuring the complete unity of the Mission.
As for Yaesakura's expression when she crawled out of the computer in the Archbishop's office and saw the files piled on the desk, I wish her the best.
Next month.
Several people at the top of Tianming worked overtime to complete the renovation of the headquarters, department surveys, ceremony details, external invitations and other tasks.
Those who truly decided the situation also received official letters from Tianming.
……
Anti-Entropy Headquarters.
Cocolia looked at Raiden Ryoma, Siegfried, and the generals such as Bronya and Chen Tianwu on the screen, crossed her hands, rested them on the table, and said:
"What do you think?"
"In any case, Bronya thinks it's a good thing that the Destiny has a new leader. When she was in Saint Freya, Bronya had some contact with Yaezakura, and she also asked Angie and the others about it these two days... I think she must be much better than Otto, easier to deal with, and more trustworthy."
"I think Commander Bronya is right. And giving such a formal invitation during the succession ceremony shows a goodwill of reconciliation and cooperation. The thirteen Herrschers have all appeared and have been properly resolved. The next step is the most crucial battle of the end. In fact, we have only one choice, which is cooperation."
Bronya and Chen Tianwu expressed their opinions one after another, one based on Yaesakura's information and the other based on the current situation, both of them accepted the invitation.
Cocolia did not comment. Her calm and indifferent demeanor revealed her thoughts. She just said:
"Thunder Dragon Horse, what do you say? You have been with the leader the longest, and you are the one who knows the root of the hatred between Destiny and Anti-Entropy best among us. What do you think we should do?"
"From the perspective of the leader and the two doctors - I think the source of hatred lies with Otto, not with destiny. What we oppose is never the destiny that advocates resistance to collapse, but the unpredictable and unscrupulous Otto. Now that Otto has abdicated, there is nothing that Anti-Entropy and Destiny cannot let go of. Besides, aren't Einstein and Tesla now..."
Hasn't he been staying in Tianming's territory all this time? It seems like he has already cooperated with Otto in some way?
For the sake of the future of mankind, they could even tolerate Otto, so there was no reason for them to reject Otto's destiny.
When Raiden Ryoma said this, it was as if he had spoken for the three elders who were in space or in a destiny position and were unable to attend the meeting.
In this way, Cocolia would not be ignoring them.
Cocolia picked up the invitation letter on the table, read it carefully, and suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and said:
"Maybe it's not just about witnessing..."
Chapter 434 Gray Snake is Difficult
At the same time, at the World Serpent's base, the Gray Serpent walked into the throne room with an elegantly designed invitation letter.
"The technique of activating stigmata on a large scale, the technique of making stigmata manifest... Very good. Jackal, you have impressed me."
"Tsk! These are just some minor additions to the previous designs based on the actual situation. Really, since you already have a plan, why do you let me deduce it from scratch? Are you kidding me?"
"Jackal!"
Gray Snake's voice became a little louder, and he glanced coldly at his ungrateful colleague.
The jackal also turned its head, with a ferocious beast gleaming in its golden eyes, full of murderous intent.
Of course Gray Snake could understand her feelings.
The Stigmata Project had been fully designed from the beginning, and the Jackal's role was to verify some of the key technologies.
In the original plan, Jackal had to complete each verification before she could know the full picture of the Stigmata Project. However, by the time she did it, it was estimated that the Stigmata Project had already begun.
Unexpectedly, her scientific research ability was stronger than expected. Not only did she complete the verification in advance and understand the overall plan, she also made some adjustments in the details.
This made Gray Snake feel that he had a sharp vision back then. It was a blessing for the World Snake to take the Jackal in.
However, the Jackal, as the person involved, knew that she was a character who played tricks from the beginning to the end. It was normal for her to be furious as she was unruly.
"Don't be reckless just because you have made a contribution. In the Stigmata Project, all of us are gears, but except for the Lord, none of us is irreplaceable. I hope you understand this."
"I know you *&&*#!"
The Jackal spoke elegantly and casually.
The gray snake remained unmoved, having long been accustomed to being scolded.
He just walked up calmly and handed over the invitation.
"My Lord, Lord Tianhuo, Tianming has sent a letter, hoping to invite World Serpent to attend the succession ceremony of the new Archbishop Yaezakura and discuss future matters."
Kevin took the letter but did not open it. Instead, he turned his head to look at Tianhuo flying beside him:
"So, Otto is dead?"
"Once you die, there is no possibility of coming back."
"Do you think it's necessary to go?"
"Although they are destined to be enemies, if you want to see the spirit of this era, you can go there. It should be a star-studded event."
The two of them maintained the same indifference.
Kevin was cold, and Tianhuo looked even colder than him.
Kevin looked at the letter and frowned slightly.
Logically, he shouldn't need to care about the things of this era, but he couldn't help but think of Ningdi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, as well as Hua, Mabius, and Velvie - the most important ones were the last two, the lingering blood pressure boosters.
It seems like there's nothing wrong with going to take a look, right? Anyway, there's nothing to do in the throne room.
"Wait, I think I understand."
"Ok?"
"World Snake has always developed in a low-key and secretive manner, but she invited us to such an open occasion. Moreover, she said she wanted to discuss the future... Perhaps, she is going to show her cards, and she is not here with good intentions. You are more clear about this aspect. What do you think, Gray Snake?"
After giving some appropriate guidance, Tianhuo turned the topic over to Gray Snake without looking at Kevin who was still thinking.
The gray snake nodded.
"Lord Tianhuo is wise, I think so too. Tianming knows our style and knows that we are enemies, but he still acts like this, and he did it at a succession ceremony with so many important people. I'm afraid he is trying to show his strength to challenge us."
"Well, do you think we should go to the party?"
“…There is a certain possibility that it will develop into a conflict.”
The superficial meaning is to invite qualified people to witness the event, which is generally reasonable.
But considering the previous relationship between the two parties and their respective positions, this invitation is a bit strange.
In short, the gray snake smelled the faint smell of gunpowder.
Tianhuo floated down and simply sat in Kevin's palm, opened the envelope in Kevin's hand, and read it carefully. After a moment, she said lightly:
"A banquet. What do you think, Kevin?"
"Maebius and Velvet haven't told me where they stand yet."
Kevin said this calmly, not caring about the risk.
In other words, the strange invitation became an opportunity for him to get an answer. If a war breaks out, which side the two people stand on directly represents their choice.
Tianhuo frowned and looked at Kevin and said:
"Angie has become the Chimera of this era, and has the ability to seize the power of the Herrscher. Add to that Hua... are you sure?"
"No problem."
"The Stigmata Project is imminent, and you are more confident in your prime. I'll go."
"If you go, you won't be able to come back."
Kevin lowered his eyes and looked at this armed puppet, or rather, his companion, who was as ready to die as he was.
Tianhuo just replied:
"That's good too. It proves that this era is qualified to face you."
"…Refuse it."
"No, I feel the need to go. If I am absent, we will have no idea what they will do next. They have the Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, and the Erode Key, and the Grey Snakes can no longer break through their network defenses. If I can't come back, it will prove that they have changed their tack, and the plan should be accelerated."
Kevin was speechless, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Too much like myself.
Although he could have refused this risk, he rushed into the dangerous situation as if nothing had happened just for the sake of the success of the Stigma Project.
After a long moment, Kevin nodded coldly.
This is no longer the original plot that can be seen at a glance. The world now really hides a terrifying background that Kevin cannot ignore.
Therefore, the world's trends and whether the two major organizations, Destiny and Anti-Entropy, have decided to unite to defeat the World Serpent must be clarified.
In response, the Gray Snake and the Jackal looked at each other, then bowed at the same time, silently paying respect to Skyfire.
When Kevin was still hesitating, Gray Snake said:
"In addition, we just received a list of equipment requested by Master Mebius and Master Velvet. We..."
There was a hint of hesitation in Gray Snake's voice.
He might be the person with the most difficult situation right now. On the one hand, he has followed Kevin for thousands of years and has devoted thousands of years to the Stigmata Project, but on the other hand - that is Mebius, his creator, the source of the name World Serpent.
Gray Snake couldn't just abandon Kevin and leave.
Gray Snake couldn't disobey Mabius.
The Gray Snake consciousness network is almost split.
Kevin hadn't gotten over Tianhuo's determination yet. When he heard this, his blood pressure rose slightly. How many times has this happened? Yes, the World Snake has many unique devices from previous civilizations, but you two can't keep doing this forever, right? Do you think this is your warehouse?
Do you really think I won't teach you a lesson with one blow?
"…for them."
Kevin finally said coldly.
