Chapter 208

However, after noticing the size difference between herself and a certain part of the Immortal Red Kite, the gray-haired, blue-eyed beauty realized that she probably wasn't Immortal Red Kite.

After all, her slender figure seemed quite out of place with the legendary Immortal Red Kite.

"... In that case, I will try to help you regain your memories. If that's the case, I wonder if we can exchange your help? I need many partners to fight against the Honkai together."

"Acting Grand Bishop, I am willing to appear before you because I have made a decision, and I hope you will not despise someone who has 'lost' their past."

The beautiful woman with gray hair and blue eyes knelt on one knee, like a knight offering his loyalty to a monarch.

"My name is Fu Hua, and I am willing to fight for the Acting Grand Bishop."

"Since this is your disciple's residence, I will entrust it to you. After the move, the interior may become messy, so I will ask you to tidy up the room then."

Freya, who had tidied up the calligraphy on the table, helped Fu Hua up, patted her on the shoulder, and then went straight back to her room.

Then... Freya rolled around on the ground amidst Rita's strange expression.

She had finally managed to recruit a warrior from a Previous Civilization, and the whole process was even easier than she had imagined. However, the fact that the warrior had no memory of his Previous Civilization that her carefully laid plans were disrupted once again.

As for bowing down to the Great Ancestor and cooperating with World Serpent... don't even think about it. Because of Kiana, Freya will definitely cause trouble for World Serpent and will never miss any opportunity to do so.

(Group: 488749799)

239. Does your appearance in front of me mean you've finally accepted me?

As long as Kiana remains away from home, Freya's relationship with World Serpent will never improve.

That being said, without bowing down to her Great Ancestor and admitting her mistakes, and without cooperating with the World Serpent, Freya indeed had no way of knowing the location of important facilities from the Previous Era.

"... Sigh, I wonder where I can find the key figures who can help me understand the Previous Civilization."

After Freya stopped rolling around, her adjutant finally breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason there was a faint trace of blood below his nostril.

"My lord, is it really necessary to search for warriors from the Previous Civilization who resisted the Honkai?"

Rita was confused by this.

As the adjutant to the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal and the current head of the intelligence department, she has access to a lot of information that outsiders simply cannot access.

Freya even deliberately concealed certain information about Welt and Tesla, but in reality, she did not conceal it from Rita.

If Rita had enough analytical skills, she could have deduced Freya's plans from that intelligence.

Just as Freya deliberately left the Europe region vacant and moved the Schicksal Headquarters to the Far East, it was in order to return the Europe region to Otto.

Among the information Rita had access to was information about certain countries whose technological level was suddenly boosted by excavating the Pre-Civilization Ruins, only to be conquered by Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

This suggests that if the current civilization gains knowledge beyond its current era, it is very likely to attract Honkai Beast of Emperor-class strength.

The Schicksal's monopoly on scientific research and technology within the ruins, and the Anti-Entropy Organization's development of its own technological system for the current civilization, are both aimed at ensuring that the scientific research and technology they possess do not exceed the level of the current era.

"... If scientific research and technology surpass the current level of this era, it may lead to even more terrible things."

"That's why we need the experience of Previous Civilization in fighting against the Herrscher, the characteristics and properties of all the Herrscher from the First Herrscher to the Herrscher of Finality, as well as the Divine Key left over from Previous Civilization. Schicksal now only has the Black Abyss White Flower, the Judas' Oath, and a few Key of Domination left."

The Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, originally belonging to Siegfried, is now considered part of the World Serpent.

Otto, carrying the First Divine Key, has disappeared without a trace, and the Judas' Oath will be given to Otto after the awakening experiment.

The number of Divine Key retained by the Schicksal is rapidly decreasing.

When it comes to confronting Herrscher, the Previous Era had experience in defeating Herrscher, and the characteristics and weaknesses of each Herrscher were recorded in important facilities of the Previous Civilization.

Freya's obsession with finding important facilities from the Previous Era stemmed from this.

It was also because she discovered familiar terms such as "Stigmata Project," "Kindling Project," "Constant Sand Project," and "Ark Project" in the records of many ruins.

The "Stigmata Project" was an experimental project overseen by the World Serpent Jackal.

Even if this plan were extremely monstrous, and if it were implemented worldwide, the number of humans who would survive would be less than 0.1% of the original world population.

These are some plans left over from the Previous Era.

The "Stigmata Project" may seem unreliable, but if used as a last-ditch effort, it might just have the potential to turn the tide.

Of course, in the eyes of her Great Ancestor, the later the "Stigmata Project" was implemented, the higher the risk would be.

Freya was naturally very interested in the important plans of the Previous Era.

These plans are likely the means left by the Previous Era for the current civilization Herrscher of Finality.

Freya shook her head at Rita.

She did not tell Rita her real reason for searching for survivors of the Previous Civilization.

While apologizing directly to her Great Ancestor would be the simplest option, if Freya were to meet her Great Ancestor again in the consciousness space, she would choose to beat Great Ancestor up, and if she couldn't win, she would use "Super Herrscher Collapse" to take them both down with her!

Dying in that consciousness space wouldn't affect her anyway.

"Let's take a look at the research data first. I wonder if there's any information about survivors in Schicksal's database."

Freya spent the rest of the time in her room, even having Rita bring her lunch.

In the evening, Freya invited Fu Hua to dinner.

Of course, Fu Hua was the one who cooked.

Freya asked Rita to prepare a private room for them.

Anyway, some unimportant buildings and experimental facilities will be demolished, and some single rooms that are not usually used can be put to good use in the end.

Fu Hua didn't mind cooking for Freya.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that long before she confessed to Freya, she had already infiltrated Schicksal as a chef. Even with Laguna's guarantee, Otto's interference was indispensable for her to Freya Freya's chef team so easily.

Although Fu Hua knew she had lost many important memories, she also searched for many familiar places Shenzhou land and found some key evidence of her identity in those places.

Although Fu Hua is confused about her being a celestial being, eight years have passed since the Second Eruption War, but her appearance has not changed at all. Apart from her hair growing a little, her ageless face is enough to prove that she is related to the legendary Immortal Red Kite.

Of course, Fu Hua's suspicions about her identity were due to Otto's guidance; otherwise, she would still be wandering on her journey to find herself.

It was because Otto, a man who claimed to be an old friend, appeared in front of her that Fu Hua became curious about the successor he had chosen.

Even though Fu Hua has lost much of her memory, she still remembers her mission: to defeat the Honkai.

After making an agreement with Otto, Fu Hua chose to lie in wait by Freya's side to observe her.

As it turns out, Freya was an excellent leader.

After much deliberation, Fu Hua decided to contribute to the fight against Honkai in the current civilization.

When the delicious dishes were served, Freya asked with a slightly scrutinizing tone.

"Immortal Fu Hua, can you tell me... does your appearance before me mean that you have finally accepted me?"

Although the fact that the other party lost too many memories did affect Freya's plans, it was also related to her being too optimistic when she made the plans.

After all, this plan always had a backup plan, which was to bow down to their own Great Ancestor.

But!

Even if this was Freya's own choice of a backup plan, Freya had no intention of implementing it!

She would rather spend five or six years digging up graves to see if she could unearth another important figure from a Previous Civilization.

After rolling around in her room, Freya pondered for a while and felt that Fu Hua's appearance in front of her likely represented Fu Hua's approval of her.

After all, from Fu Hua's appearance to her joining the chef team, the whole process was filled with the shadow of someone's interference.

When it comes to scheming and causing trouble, even she and Welt combined can't match Otto's level alone.

However, Freya recently discovered some of Otto's weaknesses. For example, Otto is really useless when it comes to sports. Excluding the powerful factor of the First Divine Key, Otto is not even as good as the previous B-rank Valkyrie.

What makes Otto truly difficult to deal with is his unpredictable trump card.

Although Otto is useless in direct combat, he has so many Otto cards that it can make anyone question their existence, and the First Divine Key can also make up for his own uselessness.

Welt wasn't afraid to challenge Otto, but rather because if he fought Otto, regardless of whether he won or lost, it was always the innocent civilians who suffered.

It was precisely because Welt saw things so clearly that he always felt constrained when fighting Otto.

"There is no question of agreement or disagreement. It's just that the Acting Grand Bishop, as the acting leader of the strongest organization of this generation, has a firm will to fight against the Honkai. As a survivor of the Previous Civilization, he should contribute his own strength."

Fu Hua answered in a serious and meticulous tone.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was dressed as a chef, Freya would have thought what the other person said made a lot of sense, but the chef's outfit did ruin the atmosphere she had created.

"Do survivors of the Previous Civilization all think this way?"

"I'm sorry, Your Acting Grand Bishop, I have no memory of this and do not know the true situation of the Previous Civilization."

Sometimes, from the sense of déjà vu and the fragments of memories that she regains, Fu Hua only retains a vague impression of her companions from the Previous Civilization.

The strongest warrior had a head of bright white hair, but his body temperature was so low that ordinary people would get frostbite just by getting close to him.

Having already accepted the fact that she wouldn't get an answer anyway, Freya continued to ask.

"Immortal Fu Hua, can you help me train the Valkyrie?"

"Training Valkyrie? I don't have much knowledge to impart..."

Fu Hua knows that the reason she lost her memory is because of Feather of Dust, and now she only has a small amount of Feather of Dust and the Hundred Key of Domination left in her possession.

She placed the Key of Domination in a special place.

In fact, some of the Key of Domination in the ruins were randomly planted by Fu Hua during her travels around the world before she lost her memory, as a way to strengthen this generation's ability to fight against the Honkai.

However, very few people have found the Key of Domination, and after Fu Hua lost her memory, she couldn't remember how many Key of Domination had, nor where she had put them.

Fu Hua slowly sipped the soup, explaining her terrible condition once again.

She has amnesia and might not be of much use, but if you still need her, she's willing to help.

Fu Hua has found her identity, but identity and memories are different. The memories she burned using Feather of Dust can never be retrieved.

It's not a temporary amnesia, but rather an assumption that the memory is a program stored on a computer hard drive. Now Fu Hua 'Eighth Divine Key Feather of Dust.

As a price, those lost memories are completely lost and cannot be recovered by any means.

Fu Hua also confessed to Freya that her condition was the price she paid to use Feather of Dust.

"I am happy to accept the arrangements made by the Acting Grand Bishop, but the important knowledge should still be preserved in the ancestral land of Mount Tai Xu. This is the price for using the Zero-rated Power of Feather of Dust; the burned memories will not be restored..."

240. We'll plan the Onmyoji organization later; let's first plan for the end of the Previous Civilization...

"Feather of Dust? The Divine Key?"

Freya was surprised.

She hadn't expected that immortals would possess the Divine Key, but upon reflection, it wasn't surprising.

The Divine Key were originally weapons created by the Previous Civilization to fight against the Honkai, and Kaslana's Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment was originally the weapon of her Kevin.

"... But as for the memories, were they truly destroyed, or did they enter a state of exhaustion in order to activate the Divine Key?"

Freya didn't believe Otto would trick the useless Fu Hua into joining the Schicksal.

The two, who had secretly reached an agreement, were able to help each other in a tacit way, Fu Hua was undoubtedly the most important part of her plan.

Or perhaps Fu Hua herself made a memory backup somewhere, but because she lost her memory, she doesn't remember where she put her memory backup.

"Memory is also divided into 'plot memory,' which governs recollection, and 'semantic memory,' which governs knowledge. Immortal Fu Hua, would you like to undergo an examination? Schicksal's medical technology is now considered the best in the world. With the assistance of cutting-edge technology, a detailed examination can be conducted without opening the brain."

Freya suggested.

Although the immortal was willing to help her, Freya did not intend to treat him as a subordinate.

"..."

Fu Hua's expression froze after taking a sip of soup.

If you don't say the last sentence, it sounds normal, but with the last sentence, it sounds like you're trying to cover something up.

To cover it up is to have a guilty conscience, and a guilty conscience is the truth, and the truth is that it really happened.

Fu Hua had no idea whether the immortal could survive after having his skull opened. What if the immortal wasn't immortal?

He might die on the spot after undergoing brain surgery.

Fu Hua a little guilty, but she still reluctantly agreed.

"Don't worry, Immortal Fu Hua. The current collaboration between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy makes them number one in the world, whether in the field of technology or in the field of medicine."

"Acting Grand Bishop, the title 'Immortal Fu Hua' is too exaggerated, I wonder..."
