NOVEL NEXT Chapter 143: Chapter 142: Entrance
The sea breeze, mingled with the thick scent of scorched earth on the continent, blew through the middle of the two factions.
On one side stood the Titan legions, exuding a prominent aura of technology, iron, and strength. On the other side were the Valkyries and their machines, with such exceptional beauty that they seemed otherworldly. These two vast armies faced each other from a distance.
Though the purpose was to sign a treaty, to the audience, the atmosphere on-site seemed completely different from the title.
"Looks like they're on the verge of conflict. Why does it feel like they're about to start a fight?"
"Are the Valkyries going to battle the Titans?"
"They just cooperated to defeat that monster, right? It shouldn't be like this."
"It probably won't happen. Logically, these two organizations wouldn't act so recklessly... Of course, we only know a little bit from the released information; we don't really understand the situation and don't have the ability to interfere. We're just spectators."
"Schicksal's Valkyries... They all look so young."
"They are indeed young, much younger than most of us."
"But they've already sacrificed so many people, haven't they? Instead of sending girls to the battlefield, I hope Anti-Entropy's mechs can be produced in larger numbers, and we rely more on robots for combat."
"It seems Schicksal also has mechs."
"It's not the same. I heard from a friend that Schicksal's mechs are very expensive to produce and can't be mass-produced like Anti-Entropy's Titans. They're different."
In the unified online forum, text is translated into local languages according to regions, enabling people from all over the world to communicate and facilitating the observation of public sentiment changes by the two major organizations after the release of information, allowing them to adjust propaganda methods as needed. Of course, during special times and occasions, inappropriate comments are identified by specialized programs and personnel for screening. However, all these discussions and disturbances couldn't convey the atmosphere on the scene, so Anti-Entropy and Schicksal were still visibly facing each other, the atmosphere silent and solemn.
Sss!
Sss...
In front of the Titan legion, Cocolia, holding the Anti-Entropy flag, stood on an armored vehicle, emitting a few strange sounds without changing her posture.
On the adjacent armored vehicle, Raiden Ryoma, also holding a flag, glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cocolia slightly moved her head and gestured with her eyes in a certain direction, saying, "Look over there, in the first row, the eighth from the left, the Valkyrie carrying the giant sword."
Ryoma looked over and indeed saw such a Valkyrie. She looked to be in her early twenties, with a golden ponytail, silver-white armor, long legs, a slim waist, fair skin, and cherry lips adorned with enticing light pink, exuding a dazzling and charming aura.
"Do you know her?"
"She's Irin Arnould, from Germany, a senior A-rank Valkyrie known as the 'S-Class Wall'. She's very skilled and is one of the few Valkyries with a brain among those silly and cute ones. She's not easy to deal with. Fortunately, she has a fatal weakness, which is her excessive compassion, which easily leads her to lose her rationality."
Ryoma frowned. He had heard of this person, but only heard of her. Unlike Cocolia , who seemed to know a lot about her, including her weaknesses.
So he asked, "Does that mean you've fought before?"
"Not exactly? Two years ago, I was doing a deal on Honkai Beast materials in Germany, and she was sent by Schicksal to investigate."
"You suffered a loss?"
"Not really. Using her weakness, I tricked her into volunteering at an orphanage in the city for three weeks and then took her to a terrorist organization's base and blew the base up."
"... "
Ryoma Mei was speechless. If this girl wasn't one of Sigurd's subordinates, he would never want to work with such a cunning woman.
"The problem is, after she found out she was tricked, she publicly stated that she would break my legs next time she saw me. If she rushes over later, remember to help me stop her. You're a great swordsman, but I'm not. She could easily beat me in close combat."
"... We are at a treaty signing ceremony, why would she act recklessly?"
"Do you know what it means to be prepared? If I weren't cautious, do you think I'd be where I am today? With my looks, if I'm not careful, I would already be turned into someone's pet a long time ago."
"... "
"Look at the sky, our leaders are here!"
While Ryoma was speechless, Cocolia was the first to notice the changes in the sky and reminded him.
Ryoma and both the on-site and off-site spectators, all turned their attention to the sky.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The sharp electric chirps echoed one after another, complementing each other like a symphony of birdsong, making it strangely pleasing to the ears.
The golden and silver streams approached the scene at a visible speed, rapidly closing in from afar, expanding in size. They appeared like a massive cloud reflecting golden and silver light, shrouding the sky in brilliance.
Then, the streams surged straight towards the ground, resembling liquid gold and silver, instantly covering the earth below, creating a metallic ground divided into gold and silver, clearly marking the territories of the Schicksal and Anti-Entropy camps.
The Schicksal camp stood on the golden ground, while the Anti-Entropy camp occupied the silver side.
"Wow! That's so awesome!"
"It's probably Mr. Sigurd's work. Are you sure you don't want to modify your evaluation?"
"Wow! It's so beautiful! So magnificent and beautiful! Mr. Sigurd truly deserves to be called the strongest in aesthetics. I, Cocolia, am willing to acknowledge you as the best!"
"... "
Ryoma needs to give it to her, she knows how to please her superior.
As the two conversed, the golden and silver substances continued to extend upwards, forming a grandiose hall towering dozens of meters high. In the center of the hall's square, a platform with four-tiered steps was constructed. However, all structures were divided into gold and silver according to their respective positions, highlighting the division between the camps.
The gold belonged to the Schicksal faction, while the silver belonged to the Anti-Entropy faction.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As the hall took shape, another buzzing sound filled the air, sharper and more piercing, sending shivers down the spine.
Another cloud covered the sky, but this time, it was pure black.
Boom!
A black swarm descended like a massive black smoke, spreading out abruptly. In the center of the grand hall, a black round table and matching black chairs were set up.
In the center of the dispersing black tide, two slender figures, almost equal in height, appeared. They stood prominently at the forefront of the Anti-Entropy camp, each corresponding to one of the Anti-Entropy flags.
One was a silver-haired youth carrying a flaming greatsword, and the other was a blue-haired girl in a formal gown with cherry-red lips. They were equally exquisite and beautiful, exuding a calm demeanor.
"Hera, being late is not a virtue."
Sigurd's lips parted, and his cold teenage voice echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Oh, my dear friend, the acting Archbishop of Schicksal, the current head of the Kaslana family, Mr. Sigurd, who is unparalleled in both strength and intellect. Why are you standing on the Anti-Entropy side? Did you get lost? Come over here quickly; I'm scared when you stand over there!"
"... "
Sigurd showed a dead fish expression, feeling that there were too many loopholes. He didn't know where to start—anyway, Otto, you really love to play, and you're really too slick!
Crack!
After the gentle and melodious bell-like voice sounded in the hall, there was a crisp sound of glass shattering in the air. Then, in the middle of the hall, the atmosphere cracked open like a shattered mirror.
Subsequently, the air ruptured like a broken mirror.
Looking again at the front of the Schicksal camp, Hera, holding her long dress, and Amber, dressed in a delicate military uniform, stood gracefully in place.
"Oh? Where's Welt? When it comes to treaty negotiations, your leader doesn't show up? Don't you think it's disrespectful to us?"
"And why isn't Archbishop Otto here?"
"It's just a treaty negotiation with Anti-Entropy, do you think it's enough to warrant Archbishop attention? He's busy with thousands of tasks, constantly pondering the truth of the world and the future of humanity. How could he waste his time playing pretend?"
Hera said with a smile.
And Sigurd rolled his eyes.
Stop talking nonsense; you're right here, and you seem to be having fun too?
