Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Why would anyone with nothing better to do want to rule the world?

Ruling the world was the result; the real goal was to further bind the genetic era to human society.

"That guy only knows how to cause trouble for others."

Tesla tossed the paper documents onto the table. It was for so-called confidentiality. In reality, Tesla believed these paper files were even less secure than her own database.

But since they were already printed, they might as well be used.

Einstein looked up at the radiant Tesla. The current Tesla seemed exceptionally energetic. Einstein expertly pretended not to see this change.

You get used to this kind of thing.

"That's right. With the growing disparity between the inside and outside of Academy City, and the promotion of Stigma battlesuits, most people in the city have grown accustomed to their existence. Nearly 100% of students wear them, 100% in the Kengan Association wear them, and about 30% of the general urban population has accepted or tried a Stigma battlesuit."

Einstein briefly introduced the situation brought about by the promotion of Stigma battlesuits. "The promotion of Stigma battlesuits has now reached its limit. We need to lead the people of Academy City out and bring the battlesuits to every corner of the world."

"The rule of the Stigma Matriarch must cover the entire Earth. Only then can we steal the power of Finality from the Cocoon of Finality."

What Einstein said was the intelligence Noldrei had brought back from Kevin. She didn't know why Noldrei would choose to trust Kevin, but she knew that no matter which path they chose, it would ultimately lead to the further expansion of Stigma battlesuits.

Noldrei's actions were always as unpredictable as a wild horse galloping across the sky. Each choice he made just happened to hit humanity's sore spot.

'This damned man from the future, now that he knows the direction of social development, he's just started doing whatever he wants, hasn't he?'

Einstein grumbled internally about Noldrei's actions. But if she were thrown into a feudal era, she would probably make the same choices as Noldrei.

You couldn't expect Dr. Einstein to become some feudal noble's wife, or a feudal queen, could you? She certainly couldn't do such a foolish job.

"The matter of the Cocoon of Finality is still to be determined. What I want to ask is..." Old Yang's face was not looking good. He asked, "What he said, that humanity will become two different species due to the technological gap, the future possibility of this..."

"Oh my, dear Sovereign Yang. You can tell if something like that is true or false at a glance, can't you? Even if Mr. Future Man hadn't said it, it has happened more than once in history. Can't you see? If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the situation inside Academy City."

Otto, just like Noldrei, was also concerned about the future division of humanity. His answer was the best response to Old Yang's suppression of dissent in North America.

Today, Sovereign Yang could maintain stability by controlling the speech of North Americans, but tomorrow, a new conflict would naturally sprout from it.

However, Otto was more concerned about something else.

He pondered for a long time before speaking, "Let's vote on it. Should we do as Noldrei has instructed? Let me be clear, Academy City will definitely need the next Herrscher. Even without us, he will go find Herrschers from other worlds, or other life forms to replace them. When that time comes, we and he will very likely become complete enemies."

Otto clearly didn't mean to bluff, but once his words were out, it was no longer up to those present to decide.

"I've decided. Better to rip the band-aid off quickly. I agree to proactively release a Honkai Herrscher, but I think the specific location needs careful consideration."

Tesla voted in favor.

The current Academy City was like a roaring train. This train was constantly evolving and twisting, becoming an unprecedentedly powerful monster. If the driver didn't take the initiative to steer this train through mountains and clear paths, the train would run over the driver.

Einstein hesitated for a long time before finally following the path of reason.

She cast a vote of approval.

Old Yang also suddenly realized that Academy City could not be isolated from the world forever. But he had to make a good choice about who to strike first.

Old Yang voted in favor, on the condition that his homeland would be given enough buffer time to accept it. He would find a way to minimize the turmoil of the transition.

"There's no need to consider Cocolia and Raiden Ryoma. They will unconditionally support Noldrei's ideas."

Otto finalized the conclusion of the meeting.

In the end, the entire Academy City Board of Directors unanimously approved the full expansion of the genetic society within the city.

Otto expertly sealed the meeting documents and then took out his own draft of the main work agenda.

"Then let's discuss the middle layer. This can be considered a small act of rebellion against Her Highness the Crown Princess."

Otto's plan was actually very simple. Noldrei's planned Stigma Matriarch project was to be completed through Kiana's absolute reverse control over the Kaslana Stigma Space.

But ordinary people couldn't achieve such an effect with their own Stigma spaces. And there were differences between original Stigmata and artificial Stigmata, but it was enough to build a personal private server.

This was something Noldrei had taken the initiative to tell everyone.

"We can further train the Valkyries and then feudalize the power of the Stigmata as in normal theory, or in modern terms, operate it like a corporation."

"First, we should have an original Stigma, so that our people have the power to awaken Stigmata. Judging from Cocolia's situation, theoretically, as long as they reach the fifth stage of the Stigma battlesuit, people can activate and possess their own Stigmata."

"But this requires a sufficiently strong fusion of ICHOR, and Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have accumulated enough experience in genetic engineering. Coupled with the almost explosive development of genetic information in Academy City over the past year, it gives us the opportunity to cultivate Stigma awakeners at a lower cost."

"Most of the Stigma battlesuits on the market now are Kaslana Stigma battlesuits. We need more battlesuits independent of the Kaslana Stigma. Only then can we neutralize His Majesty the Emperor's grip on human organizations."

"I think... Dr. Tesla, you don't want the entire human race to be controlled by Noldrei, do you?" Otto raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his face as he looked at Tesla's currently delicate identity.

Tesla gritted her teeth and retorted, "What kind of dog crap are you spouting?! I! I... I..."

She hesitated, not knowing if she should go along with this behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Tesla's reason told her that if it was to maintain a balance of power within Academy City, she had to agree.

This made her subconsciously look at Einstein, who only shook her head at her.

Tesla realized that her interests and those of her friends were already heading in completely different directions.

Otto had easily grasped the cracks of conflict among everyone under Noldrei's powerful suppression.
