“Speaking of which, are we really just leaving her alone over there?”
“So what? Since we’re in the same team now, we’re our own people. We must learn to trust our companions! We must learn to seek common ground while reserving differences, and achieve win-win cooperation.”
“Although Comrade Ishtar’s ideological awareness still needs improvement, I still chose to entrust her with a heavy responsibility—the compilation and revision work of the abyss of odin is an important link in the plan to defeat Odin. Entrusting this job to her represents my heartfelt expectations for her!”
“Uh-huh, I’ll just take your words seriously.”
The deep engine emitted a strong roar, drowning out the casual conversation between the man and women in the car.
Grimm and the others sped all the way in a military jeep requisitioned from the roadside of the research institute.
Desolate wilderness and gradually sparse buildings could be seen everywhere along the road.
Although they were inside the unreal Niflheim, there was no doubt that Area 51 here also resembled the external terrain, surrounded by a considerable area of wasteland.
Only parts close to or bordering large cities would occasionally pop up pine vegetation and lake marshes characteristic of the region.
“But then again, what if Ishtar doesn’t honestly complete these tasks, tries to slack off, or simply goes on strike? Shouldn’t we find a way to keep her in check?”
There was no lack of worry in Ereshkigal’s tone.
But deep down, what she was actually thinking was whether she could take over this “supervision” chore.
Who could refuse to reasonably act as a strict overseer, and then stare dead at their arch-nemesis sweating and working away desperately?
Then they could say to her: “Doesn’t this scene look familiar?”
“Oh my, back in the Age of Gods when you descended to the Underworld and became a miserable deceased soul, I was the one overseeing you too!”
Grimm replied at this moment.
“Supervision is definitely happening. After all, even when parents come home from work, they still have to check on their children’s homework progress on time. I’ll handle it when the time comes.”
If she didn’t obey, there would be plenty of reason to make her suffer a little.
Ishtar’s personality, at a glance, was clearly the type spoiled by an affluent family environment, belonging to a typical lack-of-discipline wealthy young miss.
Girls like this screamed the most fiercely when pushed.
Of course, he was purely talking about punishment.
He didn’t mean anything else.
…
Regarding the exploration of the ley lines, Grimm actually couldn’t help much.
There was no helping it; he was just a novice who had only recently come into contact with Alchemy, lacking the professional foundation of others. Get faster updates on g.com.
Although there would be some creative minor breakthroughs, it was ultimately still rather subpar.
Just like the day before, Grimm had once wanted to promote the second edition of the “Nibelungen Project” that he had personally improved within the team, and even friendly explained that its side effects had been greatly reduced.
As a result, Ishtar and the others shook their heads with weird expressions, politely expressing their refusal.
Presumably, to them who could manipulate dragon veins, this method of proliferating alchemical circuits inside the body was simply too childish!
To think he still believed his special version of the Nibelungen Project could break through the bloodline monopoly of aristocratic families; thinking about it now, he was probably still a bit naive.
At the present stage, the Nibelungen Project was merely a usable prototype, and it still needs further improvement!
He had to unleash unparalleled, earth-shaking wisdom to innovate the Nibelungen Project and reach new heights!
“Next, I will say a few brief words.”
After a period of difficult deliberation and weighing, Grimm chose to focus on exploring the path forward in cultivation.
As for the exploration of the ley lines, he helplessly had to act as a leader who stood with his hands behind his back and just moved his mouth:
“First of all, I will not command your actions, but rather stay here on standby, and by the way optimize my Alchemy cultivation system. For this point, I need a favor from Francesca before she leaves.”
“Eh? Me? What do I need to do?”
Francesca was somewhat surprised, curious about what Grimm intended to do.
Unlike Ishtar and Ereshkigal, having joined the team for less than a day, she still did not know how earth-shattering Grimm’s cultivation mindset was.
However, this person’s mental state was already far beyond ordinary people; perhaps she would be even more excited if she knew!
“I will tell you in a moment. Ereshkigal, you must remember, if the dragon vein is truly related to the underlying architecture of the entire Niflheim, then Odin will definitely not tolerate us meddling in it. Therefore, the target of this operation is merely investigation and exploration, not interference!”
“Alright, Francesca, come over here, let’s talk alone.”
After Ereshkigal left the car door, the graceful figure of the gothic-skirted girl approached, walking with a swaying posture, her eyes eagerly staring at Grimm’s perfect body:
“Can you say it now? What is it, what is it~ Ah! Could it be, you want that? You even deliberately sent others away, you must want to take this opportunity to pry into the secrets of a girl’s body, am I right?”
Francesca giggled, her hands reaching down to lift her skirt hems, “Come and take a look——”
“Come take a look at this!”
Grimm’s voice interrupted her.
the trophy from the Fake Odin.
“I know your ability is good at creating illusions, so I need your cooperation… Hm? Why are you lifting your skirt?”
“Oh, nothing,” Francesca let go nonchalantly, suddenly feeling bored, “So you just need to create illusions?”
Such things were as simple and boring as eating and drinking in her long life.
“No, I want your illusion to invade my spirit!”
Grimm said words that even made Francesca pause in surprise, “I need to distort brain cognition to the extent that it can be maintained even if the spirit splits—you don’t need other delicate operations, you just need to construct the illusion environment!”
What does that mean?
Francesca blinked, she really couldn’t understand this wave of operations, “Actively making yourself schizophrenic?”
“To be exact, multiple personalities!”
Grimm said, “I need to use this mask as material to imagine another ‘me’ in my mind playing Odin, and through this, review, familiarize myself with, and even learn Odin’s combat style over and over again!”
This was the method to quickly defeat Odin!
It was also the brand-new research and development direction of the Nibelungen Project!
Grimm’s inspiration came from the pontine transection surgery, the surgery received by the children in the original Black Swan Bay.
This surgery, which severed the connection between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, was originally used to treat epilepsy, but after Herzog’s improvements, it allowed the patient to use the two hemispheres to think independently and display different talents.
In other words, the subject turned into a dual personality.
Therefore, Grimm’s idea was to use Alchemy supplemented by Francesca’s illusion ability to artificially create other personalities in the brain.
If science could do it, there was no reason Alchemy couldn’t!
Francesca’s pupils trembled.
Creating multiple personalities with Alchemy…
Wasn’t that the Alchemy of Atlas Academy, “Divided Thinking”?
That was even older than the Alchemy of Einzbern.
If Grimm’s Alchemy really had such capability, Ishtar had previously said he was a novice who just learned it?
Ho ho ho, this woman is not honest, she truly deserves to suffer!
