Chapter 351

"Radiant Knight: Bright Knight: Excelsis".

Seeing that Freya had stopped attacking, Bianca instinctively revealed information about the armor she was wearing.

"This is a versatile armor specially designed for me by Schicksal... because only I can withstand the enormous load generated by the combined operation of the Bright Knight: Excelsis tactical components."

"... Just as I thought. Apart from the Extreme Knight Moon Sky, which was changed from a prototype all-domain combat armor to a high-firepower suppression combat armor due to flaws in its development concept, there are no other all-domain Fourth Generation Armor in the Schicksal Headquarters laboratory," Freya said.

"Moon Ember, Moonlight, Moon Bone, Moon Radiance, Moon Soul, Moon Wheel, Moon Rabbit... These tactical modules are all too unique, or rather, full of personality. Rather than people choosing armor, it's more accurate to say that armor chooses people. This is also the reason why the Alliance's armor development has been so unsuccessful."

Judging from Bianca's speed, few of the Type-B Valkyrie in the Alliance could handle the Bright Knight: Excelsis Module. Of course, the Alliance's Propulsion Wing, while not as good as the Bright Knight: Excelsis Module, are more stable and have a lower load.

Although its speed and range are not Bright Knight: Excelsis module, it has the potential to mass-produce equipment.

Freya has been struggling with the issue of Fourth Generation Armor. Apart from the Twilight Knight, which she wears as everyday clothes, the other Fourth Generation Armor are too unique to be mass-produced. After all, it would be putting the cart before the horse to make users adapt to the armor. However, if she wants to equip Fourth Generation Armor on a large scale, she must downgrade the tactical modules of each armor.

"Ultimately, the reason why armor development has been so unsuccessful is that researchers cannot find a solution that allows for both downgrading and tactical module performance to coexist. As long as downgrading is done, the performance of the tactical module will inevitably decline, and the new armor will naturally not be at the level of Fourth Generation Armor. However, without downgrading, it is impossible to equip Fourth Generation Armor on a large scale."

The plan to mass-produce Fourth Generation Armor was also shelved for a long time for this reason.

Up to now, the enhancement brought by the weaponry developed by the Alliance is too small, or rather, compared with the huge gap between Valkyrie and Type-B Valkyrie, the improvement brought by armor and weapons seems insignificant.

Freya smiled and shook her head. The issue of armor development could only be discussed with the researchers in the armor development department when she returned. Right now, she needed to properly test Bianca's strength.

"Thank you for your answer, Heroine. Let's continue the battle..."

The thousands of spears that Bianca had previously dodged were now suspended in mid-air, not falling to the ground.

Freya smiled with pleasure and said, "Simply dodging won't help."

Immediately afterwards, all the thousands of spears turned around and shot at Bianca again.

Bianca was startled and transformed into a comet again to create distance. This time, however, the power of the Herrscher on thousands of spears erupted and followed closely behind.

No matter how Bianca dodged or tried to create distance, thousands of spears relentlessly pursued her, forming a dense encirclement.

However, Bianca, transformed into a comet, calmly maneuvered and dodged among the spears.

Even though some spears couldn't be dodged in time, the phantoms that had been on either side of Freya returned to Bianca's side and blocked the spears with their shields at the crucial moment.

However, Bianca clearly underestimated the power of the spear. The moment the spear struck the shield, the Herrscher power within it immediately erupted.

The combined attack of lightning and fire nearly destroyed the great shield held by the phantom.

Even so, several cracks appeared on the large shield that had been protecting Bianca from the attacks.

An attack combining the powers of two Herrscher erupted, the violent impact striking the large shield held by the Phantom Spirit, and also causing Bianca behind the Phantom Spirit to feel uncomfortable all over.

"Two Herrscher powers... and just by catching it once, Phantom Spirit almost couldn't hold on."

Bianca, transformed into a comet, burst through the encirclement of thousands of spears as the fiery blue wings on both sides of her skirt armor emitted a large number of particles.

She dared not confront these spears infused with Herrscher power head-on again. If every spear had the same power, let alone withstand all of them, even being hit by just a dozen or so would leave her half-dead.

"This is so strange! It has such power, and such a large quantity!"

Bianca looked grave. Even after breaking through the encirclement, the spearmen continued their pursuit, like a group of persistent madmen.

Bianca had also considered luring the spear to attack Freya, but as soon as her mind conceived the plan, her instincts immediately screamed to stop such a foolish scheme.

In fact, it's less of an instinct and more of an intuition.

Bianca's intuition told her that she absolutely must not get close to Freya, especially not with the plan to lure the spears into attacking Freya. As the thought of carrying out the plan crossed her mind, she was immediately struck by the image of her own body being pierced by countless spears.

Unable to execute the induction plan and unable to confront all the spears filled with Herrscher power head-on, Bianca naturally found herself in a predicament.

Fortunately, the speed of the Propulsion Wing far exceeded that of the spears, and even though the spears chased after her like a formation, they still couldn't stop her.

However, the load on the Bright Knight: Excelsis Tactics module is enormous. Even though she is the only Valkyrie who can use the Bright Knight: Excelsis module, it doesn't mean that Bianca can completely ignore all the load. Her stamina is being consumed at a rapid pace.

But Bianca couldn't stop her speculations at that moment.

Then, she risked her life, pretending to be exhausted so that Freya wouldn't discover her purpose, and let a spear crash into the shield that the phantom spirit was holding.

The phantom spirit she called Queen, wielding a large shield that had already completed its self-repair, once again received a combined attack from the two Herrscher powers contained within the spear.

The Queen's great shield was once again covered in cracks, and Bianca took the opportunity to create some distance, but she frowned deeply.

This time it was a combined attack of ice and fire, with roughly the same power, but it only made Bianca more confused.

"Each spear is no less powerful than a full-force attack from Emperor-class Honkai Beast. If she were only manipulating dozens or hundreds of spears, it would seem normal... But to create thousands upon thousands of spears in an instant, I don't believe that all of them have such power," Bianca said as she created some distance.

Although Freya put a lot of pressure on her, it wasn't so great that it was utterly despairing.

If Freya could truly control an attack equivalent to the full force of thousands upon thousands of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, Bianca felt she would have no power to resist.

Even though the Emperor-class Honkai Beast have long been reduced to a unit of combat power, this unit of combat power is ultimately measured against S-rank Valkyrie and Herrscher.

In Bianca's understanding of Herrscher, none of them could unleash an attack like the full-force strike of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast with a wave of their hand. Even the newly revived Lord of the World Serpent Organization probably didn't possess such power.

"In other words, she must have used some trickery to be able to use such an attack..."

Bianca wasn't skeptical that Freya couldn't simultaneously control hundreds of attacks equivalent to the full power of Emperor-class Honkai Beast, but the fact that the number had risen to thousands, or even tens of thousands, made it hard for her to believe.

"Should we trust my intuition?"

Bianca asked herself.

In fact, she didn't know if her guess was correct.

If she cannot resolve or counter this 'barrage of thousands of spears' attack, then besides using her Propulsion Wing until she is exhausted and dies, she will either be pierced by thousands of spears and leave no trace of her body.

If I guess wrong...

—That means there will be no trace of their remains.

Bianca suddenly exhaled a deep breath, then turned around to face the oncoming hail of bullets and opened her arms. At that moment, two phantom spirits also appeared simultaneously.

"Light Wing Expansion!"

The gamma particles ejected from the blazing blue light wings formed hundreds and thousands of gamma particle streams, like blooming blue roses blocking all the spears.

The Bright Knight: Excelsis Tactics Module itself is a combination of moonlight and the lunar wheel, and it is not difficult to transform the function of the Propulsion Wing into long-range annihilation of armed forces.

Bianca used a defensive net woven from gamma rays to intercept the spear; however, the combined attack unleashed by the intercepted spear instantly tore through the defensive net.

Bianca instantly switched the Bright Knight: Excelsis Tactical Module from long-range weapon annihilation back to its original Propulsion Wing system, instantly widening the distance between herself and the hail of bullets once again.

The gamma-ray shield only held for two or three seconds, but this result brought a smile to Bianca.

"As expected, your attack was a trick. Although you can simultaneously control hundreds of attacks equivalent to the full power of Emperor-class Honkai Beast, the other spears are just fakes in appearance."

The phantom that Bianca had abandoned on the spot re-condensed beside her. This time, the phantom named King raised the greatsword in its hand, which was now free of any cracks.

During the evacuation, Bianca deliberately left King behind and, while she was distracting Freya, had King use his weapon to attack the spear that had penetrated the defensive net.

As it turned out, it was incredibly lucky; the first spear it hit was a fake, and it wasn't filled with any Herrscher power.

"Heh... Congratulations, Miss Hero, you guessed right. I indeed cannot simultaneously control tens of thousands of attacks, each possessing the full power of Emperor-class Honkai Beast. However, you're wrong about one thing: I simply cannot control them all at the same time..."

As if a carefully planned prank had finally been discovered, and the other party had fallen for it perfectly, a wicked smile appeared on their face.

Freya said cheerfully, "It's a pity, Miss Hero. You did see through my 'Ten Thousand Spears Fired Simultaneously,' but you only saw through it, you didn't really break it. Yes, I can't control ten thousand spears at the same time, each with the full power of Emperor-class Honkai Beast. It's impossible for me to create so many spears in an instant, let alone fill each spear with more than two Herrscher powers. If I could do that, then I wouldn't be much different from the Herrscher of Finality."

Although she can indeed use the powers of the Herrscher of Finality, her absolute control over Honkai Energy is almost equivalent to omnipotence.

However, Freya only possesses a portion of the powers of Herrscher of Finality.

Yes, it's not just the power of the Herrscher of Finality, but even this power needs to be shared equally with her three sisters.

Of course, if Kiana fully awakens and becomes the Herrscher of Finality, Freya's powers will naturally increase as well, but by then, she will already be part of the Herrscher of Finality.

"However, Herrscher can continuously replenish Honkai Energy from the Imaginary Space. Heroine, you have given me too much time."

Freya snapped her fingers, deflecting the barrage of gunfire that had been feigning to chase Bianca.

The sudden reduction of the thousands of spears to just a few dozen caught Bianca off guard. However, she soon got goosebumps and her gaze fell on the spear formation of tens of thousands of spears behind Freya.

"...you!!!"

"That's right. While you were dodging, I kept creating these bullets filled with Herrscher power and used the abilities of other Herrscher to hide them."

In contrast to Bianca, she saw through Freya's trick, but it was too late; Freya had already stockpiled enough ammunition.

Unlike the paper tiger that was mixed with genuine items just now, the current barrage of ten thousand spears is an attack where each spear possesses the full power of a full-force strike comparable to that of Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

"When did you use the Herrscher of Consciousness's abilities?!"

"Hehe, Miss Hero... Then I must ask you, when did you begin to have the illusion that I didn't use Mirror Flower Water Moon... cough cough... that I didn't use the Herrscher of Herrscher of Consciousness ability?"

Theresa's clothes are so comfortable. jpg

398. Great! I'm just an ordinary citizen, please help me!

From the very beginning, Freya had been using the Herrscher of Consciousness's abilities to create illusions.

Of course, she didn't just use the Herrscher of Consciousness's abilities; she also used the Herrscher of Thunder's abilities to deceive the monitoring equipment.

Even the footage captured by the floating surveillance cameras of the Schicksal was modified by her through manipulation of electronic signals, so no one noticed Freya's little actions and thought she was just standing in the air watching Bianca being chased by a hail of bullets.

In reality, Freya did much more.

She thoroughly investigated the situation in Sky City. Using the Herrscher of Erosion's abilities would be too disruptive, and there was no possibility of reversal after the corruption. Freya mainly used the Herrscher of Thunder's abilities to infiltrate the city's power system and locate the secret base of Shencheng Medicine in Sky City.

Freya smiled slightly. The ten thousand bullets she created, filled with Herrscher power, could easily destroy the city, but that was not Freya's goal.

She's here to save the world, so she should eliminate any unexpected obstacles that might hinder her in advance.

It's important to understand that this world doesn't have Freya like her. This means that the Schicksal the Anti-Entropy- Anti-Entropy Organization remain hostile to each other, and their alliance naturally no longer exists. Therefore, this world inevitably lacks a new antibody capable of large-scale production. Without a new antibody, the Stigmata Activation Plan the World Serpent Organization wants to execute will only result in a mass extinction of humanity.

"Miss Hero, recognizing something doesn't mean you can break it. I can give you time to arrange for the evacuation of the people in this city... It's roughly equivalent to the full-force attack of ten thousand Emperor-class Honkai Beast. If it lands now, this city will be destroyed in an instant."

While Freya said this to Bianca, she also used her Herrscher of Consciousness ability to transmit a message to Kiki below.

(Kiki, Immortal Fu Hua, you two immediately proceed to the location X-236, Y-379. Hmm, from your current position... there's an escape route leading to the Shencheng Medicine Secret Base. A brown-skinned woman will be evacuating from there. Stop her... She's the mastermind behind the Honkai Beast attack on Sky City. Not only is she the mastermind behind this incident, but she's also a high-ranking member of the World Serpent Organization.)

"..."

Bianca stared at the numerous spears suspended in mid-air behind Freya. She couldn't tell whether those spears were all infused with Herrscher power, but for now, she could only believe what Freya said.

After all, she had only seen through Freya's moves, not broken them. The impact of dozens of spears exploding in the air had already begun to affect the city below. Once the Herrscher power contained in tens of thousands of spears was fully unleashed, Bianca could imagine the scene that would follow. Indeed, as Freya had said, it could easily destroy the city.

"Since that's the case, why don't we just stop fighting..."

"Miss Hero, please don't mistake my good intentions for kindness. I was just testing your full strength properly. However, fighting under these circumstances inevitably makes you feel a bit constrained."

Freya said somewhat coldly.

With her control abilities, she could completely avoid everyone and only launch a precise attack on Shencheng Medicine in the city below.

However, precision strikes are not enough to deter others; only destructive power strong enough to directly destroy a city can make the bastard bishops of this world restrain themselves.

An overwhelmingly powerful individual combat ability would make that bastard bishop weigh the pros and cons, lest he secretly cause trouble behind the scenes.

Freya didn't want the bastard bishop of this world to suddenly disappear as well. Who would know where he was hiding and causing trouble then?

In his own world, Otto's whereabouts were unknown, which indeed affected the development of the league.

Furthermore, because there were suspicious points about A374 and Amber, it was impossible to feel at ease letting them access the Alliance's core plans. This also caused unrest among the people in their 'upper echelons,' and ultimately, several barriers were erected between them.

Unfortunately, in the original world, before Freya could suppress the bastard bishop with her powerful strength, he had already run away. In addition, Kiana did have an inexplicable grudge against him, and after the assassination three years ago, the bastard bishop's whereabouts became even more elusive.

Of course, this is also related to Freya's inability to give her all in her original world.

Otherwise, she could easily brainwash all of humanity with a single Meme Attack.

Meme Attack, simply put, are attacks similar to a Mind Plague that can infect people from one another or through contaminated keywords.

If that bastard bishop in this world dares to run away, Freya wouldn't mind throwing a Meme Attack and letting the whole world search for him.

They wouldn't mind killing the other person once they find them.

After all, the bastard bishop who lived in the same world as her had raised her, while the bastard bishop in this world was a complete stranger to her.

Fighting Bianca in this world is not only to test her strength and intimidate the bastard bishop of this world, but more importantly, to understand Bianca's strength in this world so as to adjust the training plan for Bianca in my own world.

"...In that case, please give me time. It takes a lot of time to evacuate the residents of a city." Bianca immediately changed her tune, as if she knew Freya wouldn't easily change her mind, and hurriedly gave orders to her subordinates.

Soon, air raid sirens sounded throughout the city. Following previous air raid drills, the city's residents began heading towards underground air raid shelters, while the Blade of Unyielding and the other Valkyrie units of Schicksal began evacuating people through various passageways.

Freya and Bianca remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

"However, Bianca in this world isn't much stronger than Bianca in my world. Is it really because of the difference in resources used to nurture her from the beginning?"

In terms of overall qualities, Bianca in this world is indeed stronger, but Bianca in this world is already 17 years old, while Bianca in her own world is only 12 years old. However, the gap between the two is not as huge as Freya imagined.

Next, her combat experience was also richer than Freya had imagined, and she was able to figure out her moves faster than she had expected.
