After the first test of Black Armor 8.0, that night, through a communication network designed and encrypted by Sigurd himself, four individuals from all corners of the world joined a video conference.

Sigurd, Welt, Einstein, and Cocolia—these four individuals essentially formed the core of the current Anti-Entropy force, both in terms of combat prowess and intelligence.

Welt was in St. Freya and had just finished work.

He glanced at his capable subordinates, rubbed his brow slightly in weariness, and said, "I won't hold a grudge for you against what you did against Brolon. Although he contributed significantly to Anti-Entropy in its early days, he has been compensated well over the years. I've had thoughts of dealing with this parasite for a while now, so this might be a blessing in disguise. However... Are you really planning to attack the Oceania branch?"

Cocolia spread her hands in a helpless gesture. "I don't agree either, but Lord Sigurd is determined, and Dr. Einstein also supports his plan. There's nothing I can do."

Since following Sigurd, Cocolia's path had been relatively smooth sailing, and she didn't take extreme risks like the original storyline. Now, she just wanted stability.

But Sigurd was the leader, after all. If he spoke up, what could she say as a subordinate?

Muttering to herself, Cocolia harbored a hint of resentment—after all, it was Bronya, Kiana, and Sin Mal who were going to the front lines. In a way, they were all her children!

Einstein sipped fragrant red tea from a very expensive, high-quality cup, saying nothing.

In her view, this was mainly a discussion between Welt and Sigurd, and she and Cocolia were just adding numbers.

Seeing both Einstein and Cocolia silent, only Welt furrowed his brow slightly, expressing his disagreement.

Sigurd responded, "I admit there's risk involved, and there's an element of gambling. But if I'm the one to obtain the Core, Otto shouldn't pursue it excessively."

"Why do you think that?"

"Based on my value alone, which to him, is above the Core."

"I still don't agree. If you want to research the Herrscher Core, Einstein has a Gem of Conquest in her possession."

"Pfft!"

The one who reacted was Cocolia, and she even splattered red wine onto the camera lens.

At the same time, Einstein's gaze shifted slightly.

Welt: ???

Within Welt's puzzled expression, Einstein sighed and dryly said, "The Gem of Conquest is gone."

"What do you mean by 'gone'?"

"The gem was implanted into Raiden Ryoma's body, she did it."

In the screen, Einstein pointed downwards, precisely at Cocolia's image.

In the image, Cocolia was wiping the red wine that had soaked her top.

Hearing this, she suddenly dropped her handkerchief, pressing her face excitedly against the camera, and exclaimed, "I was forced into it! The radicals had knives at my throat. If I didn't comply with their demands, what would happen to my children? Besides, even Dr. Einstein and Ryoma agreed to do it. Why is the blame placed on me? Say something, Dr. Einstein!"
