Chapter 61: Siegfried: I Hope Tesla Can Hold On
"I want to go back!"
Tesla said these words as soon as she saw Noldrei.
"Okay, remember to bring people over. I've already arranged for Cocolia to clean up the houses of the people around here. When the time comes, we'll rebuild the first human experiment... oh, no, the first genetic technology academy here."
Noldrei was quite satisfied with Cocolia's aesthetics. The fact that she could plan the land in such a short time showed that she had some useful people under her.
'You just said human experiments, didn't you?'
Tesla was speechless at this person. She still hadn't gotten used to the fact that human experiments were constantly being mentioned as if they were as normal as drinking water.
This kind of thing was a taboo among taboos in this era.
Although Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were doing it secretly.
'Thinking about it this way, it feels like none of us are good people...'
Tesla thought that Anti-Entropy couldn't even manage their own executors, so what were they talking about fighting against the Honkai?
"I said I want to go back to North America, back to Anti-Entropy. Did you hear me? How am I supposed to change back? You can't expect me to go back looking like a Teletubby, can you?"
Tesla's words made Noldrei a bit confused. He looked at the people standing behind Tesla and asked, "Didn't you guys tell her how to change back?"
"Didn't we? Isn't this something everyone knows?"
Siegfried thought that the others had already told Tesla.
"I don't know. I thought she liked it like this." Cocolia spread her hands.
The remaining three younger ones shook their heads. They hadn't really thought about this, because they had gotten used to transforming.
Noldrei looked down at the red Teletubby and said, "Find a room where no one is, and then touch the small lump on the back of your neck. Press it twice, and remember to find a place where no one is before you change back."
Tesla understood this time. She didn't dare to make any decisions on her own now.
Based on what Noldrei said, the transformation process seemed to be quite shameful.
Dr. Tesla was much more obedient now. Even her habit of cursing had been corrected to a certain extent. Because she couldn't win against Cocolia with just cursing, she was basically being defeated and breaking down. As soon as she tried to attack, she would be educated by Noldrei's tentacles.
She couldn't stay here any longer. This wasn't her home turf.
Dr. Tesla wanted to go back to North America and seek comfort from Einstein.
"If you want to come back, remember to let us know in advance. Otherwise, when the Academy City is built, we might treat you like an outsider."
'It's like I'm one of you. I'm not going to come back!'
Tesla cursed inwardly. She really didn't expect that Noldrei would let her leave as soon as he said he would.
Siegfried and Cocolia looked at each other. They tacitly decided to have Tesla test Noldrei's 'waters'.
This elderly girl seemed to be a bit silly and looked easier to bully. So, they simply had Tesla make the suggestions that they wanted to make to Noldrei, and then see what the consequences would be.
Tesla didn't think too much. She just felt that Noldrei probably didn't really want to control her.
He had only captured her to experiment with the ability to create a Herrscher.
Now that he had the results, she just wanted to go back to North America.
"You can control the Honkai energy to create a magnetic field around you, and then use the power of magnetic levitation to fly back directly. With your current control over the core, you should be able to get back to North America quickly."
Noldrei gave her a suggestion on how to get home quickly. If she wanted to go even faster, she could use the other core on his body to teleport back. But he wanted to see if the Herrscher could be accepted by Anti-Entropy, so he let Tesla leave.
"Really?!" The Teletubby didn't know the evil intentions of this future person. She was a bit excited and eager to try.
Tesla decided to try to transform into a Herrscher and fly back to North America.
As soon as she said she would do it, she found a relatively complete mecha that she had brought and decided to fly back at high speed to try it out.
Cocolia watched as Tesla happily piloted the mecha and left. She was a bit unaccustomed to Noldrei's way of letting go.
"Is it okay to let her leave with the core like that?"
Noldrei heard Cocolia's words and was a bit indifferent. He looked at this woman with the most children and said, "Leave? Impossible. If we're talking about who understands her body the most, it's naturally me. She'll come back sooner or later. Other than me, she doesn't know who to look for to control this new body that I created for her."
"She's just relying on physics to crudely use the power of electricity now. Soon, Tesla will realize what kind of world she has seen. In that vision, she will never be able to return to the world of an ordinary researcher."
Kiana was stunned as she listened. She always felt that Noldrei was joking.
Why would things be so different just because she saw something different?
"Is that true? You're not lying, are you? When that core was in my body, there wasn't anything special about it."
Other than feeling that her physical exams had become more frequent, Raiden Mei didn't think that the core had brought her much change.
Noldrei pointed out, "Don't just focus your senses on the so-called sixth sense, or your physical fitness. If you only rely on these things, you'll just be a stupid Herrscher who randomly slashes around with a knife."
Raiden Mei was stunned by what he said. Why had he suddenly started mocking her?
"It's difficult to explain this to you in words. If there was a TEM (transmission electron microscope), it might be easier to explain to you. Tesla has experienced the effects of being modified by me. Whether she wants to do physics research or explore the field of biology, she needs the 'little gifts' that I give her."
"Simple genetic modification won't have this effect, but if you add the endless energy of the Herrscher Core, that's enough."
Noldrei's smile made Bronya feel a chill run down her spine.
She always felt that Noldrei had done something terrible to Tesla. If this ability was used on her, a small person with no presence, she wouldn't be able to handle it at all!
'No way, what exactly did she go through?'
Siegfried clicked his tongue as he listened. He silently noted this down, wondering if he could find a chance to contact his friends in Anti-Entropy.
'I hope Dr. Tesla can hold on to the changes in her body.'
