"Dr. Tesla, I gained my position as an executor by fighting on the battlefield. In terms of brains and scientific research, ten of me tied together cannot compare to a strand of your hair. But in terms of wrist strength, I suggest you wear your mecha gloves before fighting me."
At the entrance of the North American base, Cocolia said modestly with a smile on her face.
In fact, with natural intelligence, the boon from Jackal and the advantage of multiple Thought Processes, in terms of scientific research ability, the Angels are probably not much worse than Tesla now. Cocolia is indeed modest.
Seeing that Tesla's face was so red that she was trying so hard, in order to avoid one of the precious human brains from being injured, Cocolia smiled and began to exert force.
"Ah!!!"
Ten seconds later, Cocolia shook hands and talked with Welt and Dr. Einstein with a friendly smile.
Tesla held her red right hand with her left hand, squatted on the ground and breathed hard, and tears came out of her eyes due to the pain.
Her two old friends looked at each other, helpless, but they had to speak well of Tesla.
Welt: "Well, Tesla has no ill intentions, please try not to bother with her."
Einstein: "Dr. Tesla has this kind of a personality, please forgive her."
Yes, she has lived for more than half a century and is still so noisy.
Cocolia smiled and said nothing, and decided to let her "baby daughter" do the good job.
Ninti ran over with a worried look on her face.
"Sister Frederica, are you okay?"
"It's okay! It's okay! I'm completely fine!"
Even if it hurts, in front of Cocolia, the opponent who was regardless as Ninti's mother and facing Ninti's worried eyes, Tesla has to stand up.
It's just that the voice squeezed out from her teeth while enduring the pain is really not convincing.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Frederica. Ninti will blow it and it won't hurt. Huh~Huh~~"
The exquisite and lovely little girl held Tesla's little hand and blew away the pain for her seriously. Her long golden hair shone like an angel in the sun.
Even Welt and Einstein who were watching couldn't help but smile kindly, not to mention Tesla, the person involved.
Tesla QAQ: "My good Ninti!"
A few minutes later, Tesla held Ninti in her arms, strode ahead with a proud look on her face, as if she really won the show of power just now, and even gave Cocolia a proud look.
"Ah." x3
No one would care about Tesla's small impoliteness in daily life.
Just like everyone in Saint Freya, no one would care about Kiana's recklessness.
All they can do is get used to it and smile in response.
"So has The Deep project officially started? How is the progress? What difficulties are there now?"
"That is a relic left by a previous era, located in the deep sea. The development cost is extremely high, and we must avoid destruction and guard against possible risks. After all, it involves the problem of unstable space, and there are still a lot of hurdles, but overall it is going smoothly, and we will be able to safely enter the special region in a few days. This is also the main reason why we invited you here."
"Very good, I am indeed very interested in the research of The Deep. Please remember to inform me as soon as possible. I will remember this favor - and is the guy sitting on the roof in a daze Siegfried?"
Cocolia pointed to the white-haired man on the roof of the warehouse building next to him.
Siegfried heard Cocolia's voice. He woke up from his past memories and jumped off the roof.
"Hello, I'm Siegfried. When I first heard about Nagazora City, I thought you were a lunatic like Otto, but later I realized that I misunderstood a lot of things. Anyway, thank you for informing me about Kiana's situation in Siberia. This is very important to us father and daughter."
"You probably didn't misunderstand me. I can go crazy when necessary. In addition, I never expected that Ms. Cecilia's daughter would appear alone in Nagazora City. When I first heard this name, I thought there was a mistake. I don't understand how you became her husband and being a father."
Cocolia's eyes sharpened, and she frowned and looked up and down at Siegfried, with doubts evident in her words.
Siegfried scratched his head unable to refute and smiled bitterly.
"I am indeed a failure, both as a husband and as a father. But have you met Cecilia? Can you tell me what happened?"
"There is nothing much to say. She saved my life in the Second Eruption, but it was the last time I saw her. I have no chance to repay her."
"No need. Cecilia won't care about these. She just did what she thought was right."
"I know. But if Kiana Kaslana has any trouble in the future, you can come to me. I will try my best to help within my ability."
Cocolia made a promise casually. One is to consolidate the character of a conscientious person, and the other is to pave the way for future contacts.
In fact, the real Cocolia does owe Cecilia a sum of gratitude and should give back.
Siegfried only knew that Cocolia had good intentions towards Kiana. As a father, he was naturally grateful, so the strong woman in front of him suddenly became very pleasing to the eye.
'Brother Ryoma, I'm sorry, I can't stand on your side this time.'
Siegfried sighed in his heart, but he had no choice but to do so.
"Speaking of which, I heard that you had serious illness back then, so you are recuperating at the North American headquarters?"
"It's a small matter, I won't die yet."
"Would you like to try the serum I just got? It can naturally excrete the Honkai energy through human metabolism, and has a healing effect on most of the illnesses caused by the Honkai, but in contrast, it will also lose most of the power brought by the Honkai. If you are interested, you can sign up with me. I just need some clinical trials."
"Forget it, we still have a lot of troubles in the future, and it's not time for me to retire yet, hahaha!" Siegfried laughed heartily.
The stubborn old father knew that Kiana's psychological problems had been properly solved with the help of her good friends, but the Herrscher of the Void still existed, and the threat of Otto was still around.
Although every attack will mean a high probability of physical collapse and then sudden death on the spot, Siegfried still can't put down the Judgement of Shamash in his hand.
Maybe a Kaslana's destiny is to burn brightly and then pave a path forward for the one they love?
Siegfried has no opinion on this, nor is he afraid. He just regrets that he couldn't do it for Cecilia that year, that's all.
In the back, seeing that Siegfried and Cocolia get along well, Welt and Einstein also breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning from Siberia, Siegfried cheered up a lot and began to actively seek help for Anti-Entropy. Therefore, he will be one of the important defense forces in the trip to The Deep.
If these two people don't get along well, there will be some trouble.
Cocolia ended her first meeting with Siegfried and suddenly looked back at Welt.
"I heard that the government and capitalists in North America often argue with you and cause trouble for us?"
"Well, it's not so bad. We know where we can't give in."
"Heh, I don't like how that sounds. A bunch of jackals and vultures who only care about their own interests. What do they know about the Honkai? Why should Anti-Entropy keel about it? It just so happens that I have nothing to do before entering The Deep. You give me Siegfried and someone who can do the dirty work... Let's say Raiden Ryoma. I'll help you deal with it."
"Wait, what do you want to do?"
Welt remembered the danger of Cocolia and broke out in a cold sweat.
On the contrary, Einstein pinched her chin and thought for a moment, then patted Welt on the shoulder and shook her head at him.
Cocolia turned around, squinted, and pierced Welt with a sharp gaze like a sword.
"How can we fight against the Honkai if we waste time with a group of insects all day? You don't think that the 500 years of Schicksal suppressing the Honkai were exchanged for good terms with the vested interests? Otto can kill a lot of people, so my Sword of Damocles is not bad either!"
The cold voice exuded a strong smell of blood. Welt and others knew that Cocolia could really do it. Siberia and the Far East, who were obediently lying under her, were the best examples.
"The Honkai is not a joke. If we don't use absolute authority to concentrate our forces to deal with it, we will only end up like the previous era. It's settled. Tomorrow morning, Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma will report to me. If anyone dares to be late, I will let them know the consequences!"
After the voice fell, Cocolia turned around and walked into the base without looking back. Only the sound of high-heeled military boots hitting the floor echoed, as if knocking on the hearts of the people behind.
"Hiss!"
Siegfried stroked his chin, looked at Cocolia's graceful back as she walked away in a swift and decisive manner, and patted Welt on the shoulder. "Old Yang, why do I feel that she seems to be more like the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance than you?"
"Don't be ridiculous... Well, in fact, it's not a bad thing to sort out the chaos in North America. If she takes action, the result should be good, but you and Ryoma should be on standby, don't... don't let too many people die."
Welt rubbed his temple with a headache. He couldn't stop Cocolia's legitimate actions at all.
Einstein, on the other hand, crossed her arms leisurely and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
The intricate people with interests in North America should have been sorted out long ago.
It's just that the three of them couldn't make up their minds, and they were not good at this kind of thing. This was more of Nancy's expertise. They wanted to take action but were afraid that they couldn't control it, and they were worried that they would make things worse and make things worser.
Letting Cocolia come is just in line with the old saying - evil will be punished by evil!
