Chapter 148: Elysia’s Little Classroom, Class is in Session~
***
Why did it turn out like this?
Gray Serpent was now sowhat doubting life, well… to be more accurate, doubting machine life.
In order to welco back the Lord, they went to obtain the Gem of Desire existing in New Zealand as a beacon and energy supply, making great efforts and ticulous preparations for this, but the result… the 4th Herrscher was directly hijacked by Anti-Entropy’s 1st Herrscher.
What was even more painful was that even the sche in the Shenzhou region — the theft of that Chiyou — ended in complete failure.
Originally wanted to show their abilities as subordinates to demonstrate the capabilities of these underlings, but after all this trouble, failure, failure, and still failure… Instead of proving any ability, they perfectly confird their uselessness.
“Sigh, everything is going wrong.”
Ever since the sches in Nagazora City and with Cocolia failed, nothing had gone smoothly.
Although he would wonder if it might be because of that Lord’s influence, this thought only lingered for a mont before disappearing.
— Certainly, it couldn’t and mustn’t be that master’s fault, right?
The Gem of Desire was no longer obtainable, after all the 4th Herrscher seed to have already fallen into Anti-Entropy’s hands, and directly into the hands of that Anti-Entropy sovereign, the Herrscher of Reason. Under such circumstances, even though that organization had been infiltrated by World Serpent to the point of almost becoming World Entropy, as long as they didn’t want to openly break ties with them, they couldn’t continue to trouble the 4th Herrscher.
Taking care of Anti-Entropy wouldn’t be difficult, but with World Serpent’s current strength, being enemies with the 1st Herrscher would definitely result in heavy losses, and they might even lose that concealnt they had maintained for so long, hidden in the shadows that even Schicksal couldn’t detect.
Moreover, there was still Schicksal on the side. If World Serpent and Anti-Entropy started fighting, that Overseer would definitely not mind sitting back and watching the tigers fight while delivering a fatal blow at the crucial mont, catching them all in one net.
The host of the Gem of Conquest was protected by one of their own bosses, so there was definitely no way to make a move. The Herrscher of the Void’s vessel was in a similar situation, even more complicated… After thinking it over, Gray Serpent could only set his target on Schicksal again.
— Who told Schicksal to be such a wealthy organization?
When dividing Sirin’s ‘inheritance’ back then, Anti-Entropy got the Gem of Conquest and the Herrscher of Reason core that originally belonged to Anti-Entropy, while Schicksal obtained everything else — even if the Gem of Desire and Herrscher of the Void core couldn’t be obtained, Schicksal still possessed the ‘Gem of Haste’ and ‘Gem of Serenity’, these two Herrscher gems.
Simply for guiding the Lord out of the Sea of Quanta and helping restore energy, these two gems, which were also Herrscher cores, would have the sa effect.
It’s just that compared to the Gem of Desire that was outside, obtaining these two gems would be sowhat more difficult.
After all, they were all currently at Schicksal headquarters.
Fortunately, World Serpent lurked in the shadows, and both of the two major organizations on the surface had World Serpent’s pawns.
Just like knowing that the Gem of Desire would be at the New Zealand branch’s sanatorium, Gray Serpent also knew the current situation of the Gem of Serenity.
Just like the Gem of Desire, that Schicksal Overseer had been trying to use the gems he possessed to create artificial Herrschers who could wield gems like the Herrscher of Reason, for several years after the Second Eruption ended.
And now, the one responsible for the Gem of Serenity artificial Herrscher project was the chief scientist of Schicksal’s 3rd Research Departnt — Dr. Magi.
According to intelligence from World Serpent personnel, that person was the sa type as Jackal — cold-blooded, ruthless, a standard researcher with no bottom line, at least performing no better than Jackal in experints.
Such people were quite easy for World Serpent to deal with.
After all, they possessed the ‘treasure’ of an entire civilization.
But to make a move on soone close to Otto, they would need to divert that person’s attention first. Otherwise, with that man’s sensitivity, there would be a risk of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
“It seems I need to create a big enough commotion to attract that Overseer’s gaze.”
The hoarse voice revealed Gray Serpent’s next intention.
While the target was clear, he also felt sowhat troubled.
…That Cocolia woman actually died.
Although for those idealists in Anti-Entropy, that woman’s death was a good thing, for chess players hiding in the shadows like Gray Serpent, the death of such a useful and truly effective scumbag like Cocolia did bring him considerable trouble.
But that was fine too. Even without Cocolia, as long as they were willing, World Serpent could still achieve their goals, it would just take so more ti and effort.
“Beep beep.”
An unfamiliar communication, which made Gray Serpent sowhat puzzled.
As an existence hidden in the shadows, World Serpent’s communication channels should be extrely covert and independent. Theoretically, apart from World Serpent cadres, no unfamiliar communications should appear.
Although very wary, out of curiosity, he still actively connected the communication.
But the mont he connected the video, Gray Serpent froze.
The reason was the incredibly familiar sweet, lively girl’s voice coming from the other end of the communication:
“Hi, hi, hi~ Can you hear ?”
This type of common greeting phrase that theoretically should never appear on World Serpent’s communication channel didn’t make Gray Serpent feel confused, but rather caused him to… by machine standards, it should be called a system crash.
As the most special individual among Gray Serpents and the most eloquent one, Gray Serpent shouldn’t lack words to communicate with others.
But facing the person talking to him now, even with the entire Gray Serpent network as backup, he still fell into a long system crash.
“Mm-hmm~ Don’t stay silent, I specially asked Miss Dodo to get this contact information, you know. From past encounters, we should have t before, right? Mobius’s creation… um, you’re called Gray Serpent, right~ Oh my, could it be… you don’t want to see ? If that’s the case, I’d be very sad.”
“…You jest, Lord.” Gray Serpent forced a dry laugh, his hoarse voice becoming much more restrained, saying respectfully: “Is there sothing you need this subordinate to handle by contacting this ti?”
If this were seen by others familiar with Gray Serpent, it would probably shock them greatly.
