Noldrei: Why Aren't You Entering the New Era?

Siegfried lost at chess again. After winning a few times at the beginning, he hadn't won since.

The old guy was getting a little anxious, and he didn't want to let Noldrei leave.

Noldrei had also just started playing, and he didn't think about whether Siegfried had any chess etiquette or anything. He was also playing with great enthusiasm, thinking that this thing was indeed good for passing the time.

More and more unfamiliar scents were gathering around his residence.

He was a bit curious. Since they were lurking military personnel, why were they still spraying perfume or something? Did those Honkai beasts not have noses?

Any creature with an overly sensitive sense of smell would be uncomfortable with these perfume scents.

Soon, Raiden Mei brought a Valkyrie to the yard.

Noldrei saw a girl with a mysterious smile. Just by looking at her quality, she was much higher than Kiana and the others, perhaps because she was older.

Noldrei was a bit curious about the way primitives relied on appearance and age to determine experience.

In the future, you couldn't tell a person's inner characteristics from their appearance at all.

"Hello, you can call me Rita. The purpose of my visit is to proactively contact you as a representative of the Schicksal Valkyries."

Noldrei saw a flash of disgust for the Schicksal organization on Siegfried's face, but in order to deal with him, this future person, he seemed to have restrained the urge to just get up and leave.

Siegfried silently hid to the side, as if he had no presence at all.

The Valkyrie named Rita also acted as if she hadn't seen him, and didn't pay any attention to Siegfried.

"Just call me Noldrei. If you want, calling me 03 is also fine. I'll just get straight to the point. Did you put these two gems in their bodies?"

Noldrei pointed to the two gems embedded in the crown on his head.

"The real names of these two gems are Herrscher Cores. One of them is the Core of the Void, which is the Honkai gem contained within the body of the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void. The other is the Core of Thunder, the Gem of Conquest, which is also the gem of the Herrscher of Thunder."

Noldrei's doubts were partially resolved. He invited Rita to sit down beside him. He had many more questions that he needed to ask.

She wasn't too polite, just nodded slightly and sat down on the edge of the yard's corridor.

"So what are Herrschers?"

Rita briefly explained the background of the Herrschers (details can be found on Google, so I won't go into detail here). Simply put, they were humanoid creatures with high Honkai energy adaptability, and they were single-minded in their desire to destroy humanity.

They could even generate and command non-human Honkai beasts. The most significant characteristic of Herrschers was their ridiculously high Honkai energy reaction.

Noldrei quickly understood the meaning of Herrschers and also understood that these cores were really just Herrscher gallstones.

"I see, I see... I didn't expect that there would be such things in this era. It's not quite the same thing at all..."

'If Honkai energy is the manifestation of some kind of rule, then the law of genetic life is also a kind of rule, but there is no directly manifested result. Or is it that life itself has already occupied everything in a place that cannot be seen?'

'But as a result, because of the rules that construct genes, life has turned around and controlled the so-called physical rule, the Honkai energy gem. And Honkai energy, in turn, promotes the directional evolution of genes, in order to complete the process of new life controlling it.'

'Is there a fixed order for when these Herrschers appear?'

In Noldrei's era, humans had a different understanding of life.

Life only truly possesses itself when a creature creates a mental product that can control itself.

Otherwise, creatures would stop at the level of plants and animals, and would not be considered true life.

In the future people's classification, creatures are not equal to life.

And what divides the levels of life is whether the creatures that construct consciousness are complex, efficient, and have a strong ability to correct errors.

The reason why humans are the most intelligent of all living things is because they occupy the highest level in this classification. In the future, in addition to humanism, an even more advanced faction, human-onlyism, was born.

Noldrei rarely fell into deep thought. He was searching for genetic life data from 130,000 years ago. Some of the content could be used at this time.

"Rita, so you're saying that the gems in their bodies were really put there by your people?"

Noldrei exclaimed, "Being able to break through imagination and use external forces to complete the shaping of new genes, humans in this era are also quite capable. Then why not mass-produce clones of humans? Wouldn't it be better to improve the working ability of humans by adding new humans to the production of human society?"

Rita fell into a strange silence. She opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she obediently closed her mouth again. No one knew what she was thinking.

'Is the future so miserable? Do you want to consider what you just said?'

"I know that you primitives are conservative in your thinking, but it's already come to this. If you don't have human bodies to experiment on, then just clone people yourself and experiment on them."

'I... you...'

Rita suspected that he already knew what Otto had done, and even suspected that he knew how Theresa was created.

'He must be mocking me, right? He must be, right?'

Noldrei really thought so. In the near future, there were even clone armies that were fighting each other. In his opinion, it was strange that people in this era hadn't secretly done any human experiments.

On the contrary, if there weren't any, Noldrei would be surprised, 'Your technology has already reached this point, how come there aren't any powerful people with strong selfish desires who have started doing human experiments?'

It was as strange as the fact that even though land resources had already begun to be further planned and developed, a landlord class that enslaved farmers had not been born.

With the further development of biotechnology, those who mastered biotechnology would inevitably form a crushing advantage over those who did not master this technology.

And the people in charge of these organizations that researched biotechnology would inevitably use this organizational form to obtain things that satisfied their own needs.

No matter what organization used what method to master it, the final result would not change.

Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya, all their experiences were because the people who controlled them could do what they wanted to do, so they did it.

Unfortunately, Noldrei himself was a future person who was produced with a single click. He also had a more important mission to fulfill, and he didn't have extra time to feel sorry for the humans of this era.

Noldrei rarely explained, saying, "If you're talking about Herrschers, I have indeed seen a Herrscher. But I believe they wouldn't dare to come out at this time."

Noldrei had indeed seen the Herrscher-ized Kiana. When he first showed the Herrscher Core in front of Kiana, Kiana had experienced a situation similar to a consciousness transfer.

That existence that was unintentionally exposed should be the Herrscher in her consciousness.
