Chapter 344

As for why SU possesses memories, it can only be said that SU was an assistant to her past self.

Only this answer can explain why SU's memories were not erased.

This also proves that SU was the person I trusted most in my past life.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let SU be his assistant, since the plan he devised in his previous life seemed incredibly reckless, and he even entrusted his life and death to SU.

However.

When you carried out this plan in your past life, it meant that you had already died in that past life.

"The most important thing for a person is memory. A person who has lost their memory and a person who has not lost their memory are fundamentally two different people. Put aside the talk of the soul and the 'I,' how do you determine that you are yourself? It's not as simple as just 'I think, therefore I am.' More importantly, it's about a person's memory. This memory is the process that shaped your current personality and way of thinking; it records your family environment and every detail of how you were influenced by the outside world during your growth..."

Freya's most profound memory was being influenced by a certain bastard bishop shortly after her birth, before her sense of self had fully formed.

Although she retained a lot of strange knowledge, Otto, whose wisdom and cunning completely overwhelmed her at birth, did have a huge impact on her.

She was coerced by Otto using Kiana, and while hating her own powerlessness and Otto's despicable behavior, she also subconsciously imitated Otto's every word and action.

In other words, the reason why I have the personality I have now is mainly due to the influence of Otto, in addition to the influence of my past life.

"Mr. SU, I have no connection with Mr. FU from my past life. Even if I am his reincarnation, the only connection between us is that we share the same soul. Perhaps you and Mr. FU were very good friends, but... that has nothing to do with me. You can't use that as an excuse."

Previously, when SU answered, "It's impossible for me to only help Kevin and not you," Freya didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

Just as she said before, even if SU had a good relationship with her past self, it had nothing to do with her in the present.

Especially after reincarnation, even her gender changed.

"Yes, that can't be used as an excuse..."

SU struck up a conversation very casually.

Freya's expression remained unchanged as she waited for SU's reply.

SU slightly opened his eyes, and in the middle of his purplish-red irises, his green pupils seemed to be flashing. He pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"That's certainly not an excuse, but how do you think I helped Kevin? I said before, 'You're underestimating Kevin and me.' Given Kevin's personality, he wouldn't accept that kind of help..."

Freya raised her eyebrows slightly.

If she de-transforms, she will be immediately teleported away.

In Freya's opinion, no one would believe that Su Ken went to so much trouble to teleport her away if it wasn't for Kevin's sake.

Freya knew that once she was pulled away by the spatial teleportation, she would not be able to return to this world for a short period of time.

Without her, the alliance will lack the deterrent power against the World Serpent Organization.

You should know that the only person in the world who can keep Kevin in check right now is yourself.

It's no wonder Freya thought SU was scheming against her to help Kevin. After all, many research projects would come to a standstill without her.

"Your assumption isn't entirely wrong. Teleporting you away does indeed deprive the Alliance of a trump card against Kevin and will also cause the Alliance's development to stagnate... However, developing civilization too quickly will only increase the intensity of the Honkai. Even if the Alliance and the World Serpent can withstand a new round of disasters, the people in other regions will have no power to resist at all."

"In recent years... in your world, more and more Humanoid Honkai Beast have appeared among the Honkai Beast hordes, and the overwhelming combat power of the Humanoid Honkai Beast seems to have been born to fight against the Judge of the World Serpent and the Type-B Valkyrie of the Alliance."

SU paused here, glancing at Freya was deep in thought, but did not interrupt her.

Just as she came up with the answer, SU continued.

"According to calculations, the next round of intensified Honkai will be enough to destroy more than a dozen small countries and cause varying degrees of damage to medium-sized countries. The structure of the state is constantly collapsing, which in turn exacerbates the contradictions between individual countries and the alliance."

"..."

Freya suddenly understood SU's plan.

"You want to slow down the alliance's development!! That's why you decided to exile me!!"

SU opened a door, which also helped Freya understand some things.

In fact, considering the number of Type-B Valkyrie the Alliance possesses, even if the Honkai intensity increases by several levels, it won't actually affect the Alliance. However, the stronger the Honkai, the more ordinary people will be the first to suffer.

To stop the Honkai from growing stronger, the alliance must become more low-key and its development must be brought to a standstill.

"Now you understand, Miss Freya, I didn't help Kevin. In fact, this time, I'm here to help you."

SU explained patiently.

"No wonder you said that..." Freya was also somewhat amused and exasperated.

In the end, SU did not help Kevin, but this time, he chose to help himself.

"There are reasons for saying that, but before that, I have an idea to try to cooperate with Miss Freya."

"Cooperate with me?"

After learning of SU's purpose, Freya originally wanted to cancel her Herrscher of Finality transformation and let the spatial teleportation belt take her to the coordinates carefully prepared by SU.

But SU's move to seek cooperation did indeed surprise Freya.

390. I want you to save that world.

Although SU clearly wanted to seek cooperation, his actions seemed coercive.

He didn't give Freya a chance to refuse to cooperate.

Freya sighed. She knew pretty much why SU did this. With the rapid development of the Alliance and the World Serpent Organization in recent years, the intensity of Honkai worldwide had indeed increased.

Countries that were originally able to resist the Honkai Beast attacks turned to the Alliance and the World Serpent Organization for help.

"Yes, I understand what you mean... but slowing down the Alliance's development would also exacerbate the conflict between the Alliance and World Serpent, because the number of people who die in the confrontation between the two top powers may not be less than the number killed by Honkai Beast ..."

Freya paused for a moment before continuing.

"And what exactly is this 'experiment' you want to collaborate with me on that would make you make this decision?"

Freya hadn't forgotten what SU had just said, and her eyes naturally held a hint of doubt.

SU got up from the ground, brushing off non-existent dust from his pants, and stared at Freya with his purplish-red eyes.

"You should be able to sense the coordinates of the spatial teleportation, right?"

"... Yes, and it's very 'far' away."

Although she didn't understand why SU asked that question, Freya still answered with her own feelings.

Since Freya didn't know much about Imaginary Space, she didn't share her understanding. She only said that Imaginary Space is very similar to the Sea of Quantum in nature, so there shouldn't be any concept of distance between them.

"Yes, it's very far... If we consider the tabletop as Imaginary Tree, and these water glasses filled with water as individual worlds..."

As SU walked up to Freya, he created a table beside him and conjured many transparent water glasses in his hand, placing them on the table.

The water in the cups kept overflowing and pooling on the table, SU explained with a smile.

"The distance between each glass is the Imaginary Space. In a way you can understand it, the air on the table is also Imaginary Space. This table represents the Imaginary Tree, and the puddles on the table represent the Sea of Quantum. Although from this simple model, there is a distance between each world, in reality, from the perspective of Imaginary Space, the distance between each world is extremely vast..."

"The wall of the water glass is the outer wall of the world. The solid outer wall blocks all invasion. Even if you are floating far away in the Imaginary Space, you cannot break through the outer wall of the world and thus cannot enter another world."

"..."

After SU explained it this way, Freya suddenly understood why she could sense distances from afar.

"It's impossible to enter another world from another world using conventional methods, unless there's a gap in the outer wall of the world, or some kind of coincidence. Of course, the best way is to break through the Sea of Quantum."

SU reached out and dipped his finger into the puddle on the table, following the water overflowing from the cup upstream, up the cup wall, and then directly into the cup.

"Of course, it's also because there is no concept of distance or direction in the Sea of Quantum... unless you follow the guidance of coordinates."

"Oh?"

Freya said with some surprise.

The reason she is constantly being pulled by spatial teleportation is because she is being pulled by a certain coordinate.

"I see. So you want me to break through the Sea of Quantum? What a self-righteous 'attempt'."

Freya subconsciously mocked SU.

She felt that SU must have accidentally discovered the coordinates of this world and carried out a series of designs in order to allow her to try to break through the Sea of Quantum.

This made Freya feel unhappy from the bottom of her heart.

After all, SU's actions were far too forceful; he hadn't even asked Freya's opinion.

"Of course not. Anyone can do just this kind of 'experiment'... What I want to try is—whether we can change the original course of a world through external intervention."

SU spent tens of thousands of years observing the parallel world.

He observed countless worlds, searching for hope to break the deadlock.

But most worlds eventually reach the same end, while other worlds are on their way to the same end.

Countless worlds withered away like dead leaves.

SU sees no hope.

He saw no hope at all.

"You don't know what kind of endings the world I've observed has come to, but human civilization in every world has ultimately headed for destruction... It's like a six-sided die that I've rolled countless times and can only get numbers from one to six."

SU observes countless parallel worlds within the Second Divine Key, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

But just like a six-sided die, no matter how he throws it, he can never get the number seven.

"Of course, your appearance also showed me a very slim possibility..."

"What do you mean?" Freya finally showed a serious expression upon hearing this.

The issues that SU was considering were exactly the same issues that Freya had been considering.

Regardless of when the People from the Sky arrive on Earth, the greatest challenge humanity will face is the trial known as Honkai.

"In the parallel worlds I've observed, you've failed countless times in your attempts to save Kiana and prevent the Herrscher of Finality from descending. In several parallel worlds, you even turned evil and became the Herrscher of Finality, personally destroying humanity... Well, in some parallel worlds, you didn't become the Herrscher of Finality, but you still dropped Honkai Energy fission bomb all over the world."

"..."

Freya fell silent.

She originally thought SU would say that those parallel worlds were able to reach a stalemate with the Honkai because of her appearance, even if it was a game that was about to be checkmated, she was doing her best to delay the end of the game... but it seems that she was of no use at all, or rather, she seemed to be the one who pushed for the destruction of human civilization.

Suddenly, I felt I couldn't stand on moral high ground to despise Kevin, since my own behavior seemed even worse than Kevin's.

Seeing Freya suddenly fall silent, SU smiled, raised his right hand and gently waved it, as if erasing writing with an eraser, wiping away the crude model he had just made, and then said.

"Please don't be discouraged, Miss Freya. Although you haven't succeeded in changing the world as I've observed it, you have still managed to alter many events that were originally destined to happen."

SU felt that her words might have dampened Freya's enthusiasm, so she couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

Of course, his attempts to comfort her only made Freya feel even more overwhelmed with sadness.

The thought that your parallel universe self tried so hard, yet couldn't salvage anything, is a truly disheartening conclusion.

"Ahem, to put it simply, many events that were destined to happen have indeed changed. At least in your parallel world, Kiana and Aurora's mental states are very stable, and the time when they become Herrscher of Finality has been greatly delayed..."

"So, no matter how hard I try, I can only delay the two of them from becoming Herrscher of Finality?"

Freya's face was somewhat ferocious.

The thought that even someone in a parallel world who might have tried even harder than herself couldn't save Kiana and Aurora suddenly gave Freya the idea of cutting down the Imaginary Tree.

Of course, all worlds are built on the Imaginary Tree.

Since the Imaginary Tree is the cause of everything, then... let's just cut it down! After all, won't some People from the Sky descend to Earth? If we cut down the tree, those People from the Sky will perish too!

SU, sensing Freya was about to go crazy, hurriedly said.

"Miss Freya, no matter what, your existence has indeed changed many things. In some parallel worlds, you successfully resurrected Miss Kallen, then reached a consensus with Bishop Otto, and together they fought against the Honkai..."

"In some parallel worlds, you cloned the First Herrscher, Welt Joyce, and the Second Herrscher, Sirin, and formed a real Herrscher team to fight against the Honkai..."

"In some parallel worlds, you successfully guided Earth's civilization into interstellar space and became the first Alliance Leader of the Earth Federation..."

"Wait a minute, I'm this capable in the parallel universe? And I still didn't win?!"

Having reached an agreement with Otto, formed the True Herrscher team, and entered interstellar space to become the Alliance Leader of the Earth Federation, how could they still not win against the Honkai?

"Honkai 3rd is cheating!!"

Freya felt that the latter two scenarios described by SU were sufficient to fight against the People from the Sky.

Faced with Freya's questioning, SU's lips twitched slightly. He was embarrassed to say that some of these parallel worlds had already been destroyed, while others were on the verge of destruction...

The reason is simple: among these parallel worlds, the most suitable host for the Herrscher of Finality is the girl who is raising questions at this moment.

Freya's collaboration with Otto did indeed make the Schicksal the most powerful organization for a time, but after Freya was influenced by the Honkai Consciousness and betrayed Otto, the world entered the countdown to destruction.
