Anti-Entropy North American Headquarters
Formerly the North American Branch of Schicksal
You couldn't say this place was too bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. Thanks to the development of the Dead Sea Scrolls records and further research into North American ruins, they had unearthed many good things from the previous civilization to fight against the Honkai.
"Cocolia! You still have the nerve to come back? How can you face me?!"
Raiden Ryoma, who had just been bailed out, couldn't hold back any longer.
They were both executives, but he was the unlucky one who was directly arrested and imprisoned. In the end, Cocolia had given him a good dressing down.
He had suffered so much both inside and out. In the end, the so-called Third Herrscher hadn't materialized, and it had fallen on Tesla instead.
What was going on? How could Tesla be so radical?
Was there anyone in the world more wronged and unlucky than him?
He had sacrificed so much, and in the end, someone else had done it. It had nothing to do with him... No, that wasn't right. He had indeed sent his daughter with the gem over there.
On this point, Raiden Ryoma had still made an outstanding contribution.
"Calm down. I didn't bail you out to argue with you here. Besides, don't we have more important things to talk about now?"
Cocolia turned her gaze to the person with the highest 'status'.
Tesla frowned. She immediately felt that the way everyone was looking at her was a bit off.
She had only gone out for a trip and become a Herrscher. Although there were two examples of Welt before her, Tesla's transformation was a bit too abrupt.
Moreover, Tesla's personality was already different from normal people. After becoming a Herrscher, she was clearly even further away from the normal world.
Now, Tesla had become another Herrscher after Welt. In theory, she had become a strategic-level... scientist who was both a Herrscher and an executive?
Everyone was a bit confused.
"I know what you want to ask. I think I can explain it. I, Frederica Nikola Tesla, one of Anti-Entropy's executives, am a conservative researcher."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cocolia burst into laughter.
The radical executives also laughed along with her.
Everyone thought Tesla was joking. Conservative enough to turn herself into a Herrscher?
Raiden Ryoma had also said that he was a conservative, but in the end, he had secretly agreed to leave a Herrscher core in his daughter's body, hadn't he?
It seemed that what everyone was fighting over wasn't 'radical vs. conservative', but rather 'whose' radical vs. conservative?
"You guys believe me! Damn it! I didn't want this either!"
When Tesla saw that she couldn't explain herself, she subconsciously wanted to ask her friend Einstein for help.
Of course, Einstein hadn't experienced this kind of thing either. Tesla's trip to help had been at the invitation of the Far East branch.
Who could have known that helping out would turn her into a Herrscher?
The bedhead covered her forehead. She had a headache.
Where was the leader? Where was the leader?
Why could they just hold a meeting without the leader?
Einstein had to explain the situation again. She emphasized that Tesla was 'forced', 'experienced a despicable sneak attack', 'the enemy transformed her into a Herrscher', and 'it was a trap set by Schicksal's Far East branch'.
In short, after concluding that everything was Schicksal's fault, she successfully made everyone accept the reality that Tesla had become the Third Herrscher.
The problem now was, what should they do?
The radicals wanted to study a Herrscher, but this Herrscher was a conservative, and they would definitely not allow them to study Tesla casually.
Everyone was at an impasse.
At this moment, Cocolia calmly said, "I've brought a business deal to Anti-Entropy. It's like this, I have a free skin color potion."
Cocolia quickly recommended the free skin color potion to her comrades in Anti-Entropy.
She brought a familiar face of Bronya's, Sin Mal.
And at this time, Sin Mal was a bit different. At first glance, she was actually a beautiful black woman.
"This is one of the children under my care. She volunteered to experiment with the effects of this potion. Look, what's the difference between her and a purebred black person?"
The other Anti-Entropy executives also looked at Cocolia in shock.
They hadn't even had time to hear about the effects of the potion, and Cocolia had already produced the results?
'Are you serious? Where did you find this little girl?!'
Although she knew that Cocolia had a bad habit of experimenting behind the scenes, Einstein hadn't expected that she would dare to put a person directly on the table.
"This is a child I adopted. She will stay at Anti-Entropy for a while for a physical examination. It will last for three months. This potion is originally non-toxic and harmless, but I don't have the specific manufacturing method. The only thing I can make is a one-time, degraded free skin color potion."
Cocolia temporarily left Sin Mal at Anti-Entropy headquarters. With the conservatives watching, the people from the orphanage would soon be able to share some benefits.
Tesla wasn't wearing glasses now. Since becoming a Herrscher, even her eyes had become more sensitive and sharp. It had to be said that there were indeed a thousand good things about being a Herrscher.
She tilted her head, looking at Sin Mal. The moment her gaze swept over the girl, she immediately understood that there were similar Honkai energy experiment remnants on Sin Mal.
"Interesting. Are you specifically adopting these people for Honkai energy experiments?"
Tesla frowned, asking coldly, "When did you do this kind of crappy experiment again?"
Cocolia had never hidden her intentions. The Anti-Entropy organization itself had a great deal of autonomy among its executives. As long as you could find people, money, and equipment, you could act under the name of Anti-Entropy.
"That's right, but this experiment itself has already failed. Finding Honkai energy adapters among many humans is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even with specialized training, it's difficult to do. And existences similar to Stigmata are even rarer."
"You know about Schicksal's artificial Stigmata. After the Second Honkai War, they even obtained the body of the Second Herrscher. Schicksal's Stigmata must have made new progress by now."
As she spoke, the Anti-Entropy executives subconsciously looked at Dr. Tesla again.
'Damn it, you're all hidden radicals, aren't you?'
Since returning, Tesla had been stared at by this kind of 'let's all study her' gaze.
Because there were too few Herrscher samples in this world. Besides Yang and the Second Herrscher who had already been divided, she was the only Herrscher alive in the world.
"That's how things are. We can postpone the research direction for a while. I think Anti-Entropy's financial resources are too scarce. We need to find a way to make a big profit in the Americas first."
"By the way, I want to know how powerful the Third Herrscher is. You agree, don't you, Welt..."
Cocolia suddenly said something strange to a hooded figure next to her.
"You should call me leader, Cocolia!"
A crack appeared on Tesla's forehead, and an electron beam scan instantly swept over this 'Welt's' body.
"A clone?"
In that instant, a surge of anger and killing intent burned in Tesla's heart.
Honkai energy was condensed in that eyeball, and at the same time, it represented the prefrontal lobe of human high-level decision-making and willpower.
This series of abilities allowed it to use Honkai energy to continuously strengthen the will of the Honkai master, while also feeding back to the owner of the Herrscher core. As her mental strength increased, Honkai energy was more easily controlled by Tesla.
And as Tesla obtained more Honkai energy, her mental will would further feed back from the prefrontal lobe system to the depths of her consciousness.
