Chapter 311

Shigure Kira also had her own worries.

But are the crises in this world so easy to resolve?

In this world, the Europe plate of Earth is surrounded by an energy barrier known as the Asgard Wall.

It expands outwards every moment, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake, and any living thing that touches it will be instantly annihilated.

If this continues, the entire world will be surrounded by this ever-expanding energy barrier, and the world will be destroyed as a result.

Shigure Kira was preoccupied with her own thoughts, while Freya, although aware of the energy barrier, had come to this world primarily to investigate the Aether Anchor, not to shoulder the mission of saving the world.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Only the occasional sound of someone sipping coffee could be heard.

Oh dear, this is awkward.

Freya raised an eyebrow, a hint of pleasure in her smile.

"Miss Shigure Kira, there must be something you want to say, but you decide to keep it to yourself because you feel it's inappropriate for you to be in this position."

Although Freya found pleasure in seeing others' conflicted expressions, her personality wasn't as rotten as that of a certain priest. After a few minutes of inner elation, Freya immediately asked Shigure Kira.

"Lord Freya?"

Shigure Kira was very surprised.

It's no wonder she was so surprised; perhaps in Shigure Kira's eyes, she had no obligation to save the world.

Freya has also confessed to Shigure Kira that the purpose of her trip is to investigate the Aether Anchor.

Of course, the power that currently controls the Aether Anchor is the Inca Republic, where Freya is located.

If she were to assist in the fight against the wall as a condition, the Republic's high command would naturally not refuse her investigation of the Aether Anchor.

Freya shook her head.

Although she quite liked this despicable approach, this time, she did it out of respect for Shigure Kira.

"It's nothing, just a gift from a fan to their idol..."

Even though Freya had only heard one song, she had already become a fan of this 'Qiluo Star'.

"... Of course, this is also related to the Shigure Kira originally belonged to the Snow Wolf Squad, which naturally gave me a good impression."

Shigure Kira is a member of her mother's team.

According to her description, she is not Star Speaker, but a Wanderer.

Freya didn't know how the other person ended up here, but she had fought alongside her mother, so how could Freya stand by and watch the other person suffer?

Rather, if her mother found out that she had stood by and watched someone die, being beaten would be secondary. Given her mother's personality, she wouldn't be willing to hit her... But Freya ultimately didn't want to disappoint her mother.

"Whether as your fan or as your mother's daughter, these two reasons are enough for me to offer my help."

Freya answered seriously.

"Shigure Kira, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Shigure Kira never expected Freya to say such a thing, and for a moment, she was still unable to accept this fact.

It's not uncommon for things to fall from the sky, but I've never seen a lottery ticket worth five million fall from the sky like this.

Of course, Shigure Kira quickly accepted this fact.

After all, the 'Love Gem' she found was essentially equivalent to a lottery ticket worth five million in a sense, which shows that she was indeed very lucky.

Shigure Kira nodded.

"Of course we've encountered one, no... to be precise, this world has encountered a crisis, Lord Freya. At first, I didn't know whether I should speak up, after all, I'm no longer the Valkyrie of Schicksal..."

"Please wait a moment regarding this. Your file indicates death, not defection. In other words, Ms. Shigure Kira, you are essentially still the Valkyrie of Schicksal."

After Schicksal became an alliance, Freya also asked Rita to reorganize the Valkyrie files and raised the access permissions for the files by several levels.

After all, the high-ranking officials and the Senate of Schicksal, as well as senior researchers, had the right to access the Valkyrie files. The reason why many Valkyrie disappeared on the battlefield was also related to the leakage of their files.

Freya is extremely biased towards the Valkyrie, so how could she allow the higher-ups and the Senate to retain such authority?

The Valkyrie in the Alliance are now divided into three types: Valkyrie Candidates, Type-B Valkyrie, and Titled Valkyrie.

Among them, the Valkyrie candidates are also known as Type B candidates. After all, with the Alliance's current technology, they have mastered painless and side-effect-free modification surgery. Almost every student who enters St. Freya Academy will undergo modification surgery to become Valkyrie at the end of the first semester.

Becoming Valkyrie is the starting point for the St. Freya Academy now.

If these Valkyrie can obtain Type-B Stigmata before graduation and become Type-B Valkyrie, they will naturally find it easier to join either the Apocalypse Knights or the Valkyrie Guild after graduation, compared to those Type-B candidates.

Of course, very few Valkyrie are granted a title by Freya before graduation.

After all, according to the wildly imaginative and brilliant female scientist at the First Research Institute, Valkyrie who has been granted a title is roughly equivalent to half the combat power of the First Herrscher.

Freya has been elevating the status of the Valkyrie, and while Rita was organizing the files, Freya also modified the files of the Snow Wolf Squad.

Cecilia's status was changed from 'dead' to 'unknown'.

During this process, Freya also took a few more glances at the condition of Cecilia's other teammates.

This also explains why Immortal Fu Hua adopted a daughter.

Freya patiently explained the current Valkyrie system of the Alliance, but Shigure Kira was not happy about it.

"Wait, wait a minute, Lord Freya, you mean our Snow Wolf Squad is now the only S-rank Valkyrie squad in the Alliance, regarded as a spiritual symbol by many Valkyrie..."

"Yes."

"It feels like the Snow Wolf Squad becoming S-rank Valkyrie Squad is a kind of sacrifice."

Shigure Kira expressed her feelings, and Freya rolled her eyes and retorted.

"Remove the word 'seems' and be more confident. S-rank is for commemoration and mourning. Although a part of Mom's consciousness remained in the Black Abyss White Flower, it does not mean that Mom is still alive. She did die in the Second Eruption."

In the current Valkyrie system, each stage of the Valkyrie squad is divided into three sub-classes, with the D-rank Valkyrie squad as the standard.

In the D-rank stage, the Valkyrie squad is divided into D+, D, and D- ranks.

If the Valkyrie squad is wiped out, they will be promoted three levels.

It basically spans a stage; of course, the current upper limit of the Valkyrie squad is S-rank.

After all, apart from the Snow Wolf Squad, neither Laguna's Assault Team nor Lewis's Guardian Squad could reach this level, and their squads also served as Knight Squads, belonging to the Apocalypse Knights.

Freya divided the Valkyrie into the Apocalypse Knights and the Valkyrie Guild in order to cultivate a dedicated military force for the Alliance. The Valkyrie Guild is more inclined towards a mercenary system.

Simply put, the Apocalypse Knights are supported by the Alliance and train regularly. They only deploy when truly needed. The Valkyrie in the Apocalypse Knights Valkyrie Guild form their own Valkyrie squad, which support themselves by taking on missions and accepting hires.

Freya, in a cheerful mood, explained the Valkyrie's current situation to Shigure Kira.

After all, no matter how much Shigure Kira denies her Valkyrie, she knows about the environment the Valkyrie faced in the past.

Often, those who are saved by the Valkyrie end up fearing and hating Valkyrie.

Despite being rescued, they hate their rescuers, resenting the Valkyrie for being too slow in their rescue efforts, or perhaps feeling that the Valkyrie should have given their lives for them.

It can only be said that the Valkyrie of the past lived such humble lives.

"So this is how good life is for Valkyrie these days. Should we say these younger ones have met a good Grand Bishop, or should we say Lord Freya is just too good to them..."

Shigure Kira was filled with emotion.

However, she was waiting for Freya's answer.

Although Freya answered the question about the current Valkyrie system, she did not directly address Freya's request.

"Shigure Kira, cough cough, I'm sorry, I've said too much. After all... I didn't invite you back before because I was considering that you might not want to return to Schicksal..."

For many retired Valkyrie, the Schicksal is not a place worth staying.

If both sacrifice and retirement are considered, then the average age of Valkyrie to retire during the Schicksal period was less than 30 years old.

Shigure Kira is indeed close to that value now.

It's not impossible for her to apply for retirement, after all, as a member of the Snow Wolf Squad, Shigure Kira made great contributions in the Second Eruption War.

"However, it seems that Shigure Kira wants to do something for this world, but she is concerned about having given up her Valkyrie. However, as the former Acting Grand Bishop and now the Schicksal Saintess and the Grand Bishop's Aide, I have not seen a resignation letter on my desk."

Freya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, already indicating her stance.

"Grand Bishop's Aide? Acting Grand Bishop? Wait a minute, Lord Freya, you don't seem to have mentioned this!"

Although Shigure Kira could sense Freya's good intentions from the current Valkyrie system, she also understood that the current alliance was very friendly to the Valkyrie.

But in the end, she didn't have the nerve to beg the Schicksal to help the world.

Most importantly, the ruthless and heartless Schicksal of the past would never act on a Valkyrie's request.

Unexpectedly, Freya gave her a way out, not only agreeing to her request but also trying to invite her back to the Alliance.

"Oh, that was just a prank by some bastard bishop. After Theresa took over, those two positions became vacant, so I took on the role of a Grand Bishop's Aide."

Of course, their respective adjutants were much more useful than the so-called Grand Bishop's Aide, especially Freya was often engrossed in research with the Jackal, making the so-called Grand Bishop's Aide merely nominal.

In reality, Grand Bishop Theresa was just like that.

Her daily work was handled entirely by her adjutants, and it was only because she had two adjutants that she was able to manage so much work.

"You didn't mention before that Lady Theresa has become Grand Bishop..."

Shigure Kira discovered that Freya had indeed omitted quite a few things from her report, but these things seemed to contain a lot of information, one after another.

"It seems the alliance is stronger than I imagined, and it has even joined forces with Anti-Entropy... In that case, I'll try to contact the Speaker; she'll be happy to see you."

The problems encountered by the Inca Republic naturally gave the country's speaker a major headache.

Shigure Kira, who has lived in the Republic for more than ten years, is a well-known idol and has been invited by the Republic's high-ranking officials to perform for the benefit of the people on many occasions.

Singing can not only relax you, but also soothe the pain of others.

"The Speaker?"

It is clear that the ruler of the republic is a young girl.

Of course, Freya had also heard the name of the Republic's Speaker from the servants she controlled; it seemed to be Sophia Henry Thoreau.

"I'm really looking forward to meeting her..."

Having decided to help Shigure Kira, Freya also wanted to gain more benefits for herself, and most importantly, she wanted to take Shigure Kira back with her.

After all, she's one of my mom's teammates. Bringing her back as a local specialty would probably make her very happy.

354. Let's just use force to coerce them.

Shigure Kira was unaware that Freya was after her. She shivered and touched her shoulder with a strange expression.

"Why is it a bit cold? Is the air conditioning in the coffee shop too cold?"

Looking at Shigure Kira warming herself, Freya, the culprit behind the chill, tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Shigure Kira, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it must just be my imagination. By the way, Lord Freya, do you really agree to help this world?"

Shigure Kira knew perfectly well just how strong the 'strongest' Valkyrie was. Although Cecilia ultimately perished alongside the Second Herrscher, in her era, there was simply no Valkyrie who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Cecilia.

Shigure Kira also knew that the Valkyrie of the Alliance were very strong now, even completely overwhelming the Valkyrie of her era.

Freya did not hide the Valkyrie's current situation from Shigure Kira.

Shigure Kira greatly envies the younger generation. Although the enemies in their time are stronger, they have dignity and were born in an era where people are willing to pamper them.

However, in Shigure Kira's heart, even if the current Valkyrie are enough to crush the Valkyrie of her era, it does not mean that the amazing Valkyrie of that era were weak.

If Cecilia had been born in this era, she would undoubtedly have been the 'strongest' Valkyrie of that time.

Knowing the power of Cecilia, the strongest Valkyrie, Shigure Kira understood what the title of strongest Valkyrie meant.

The girl in front of her was not only Cecilia's daughter, but also inherited the title of the strongest Valkyrie.

This made Shigure Kira feel somewhat dazed.

Almost every Valkyrie of Schicksal knows that Cecilia Schariac is the most powerful S-rank Valkyrie in history and a great hero who made great contributions in the battle of the 'Second Eruption'.

If Freya hadn't personally confirmed that Cecilia had sacrificed herself in the final battle, Shigure Kira would never have believed it.

Even after being stranded in this World Bubble a decade, she still firmly believed that Cecilia would ultimately triumph.

She died.
