Chapter 379

"The Dream World is essential for the people of this world. Even if I could control everyone, I couldn't keep all of them retaining their original personalities and intelligence at the same time; I would only turn them into mindless puppets. However, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans know what thinking is. And in the subsequent operation against the Honkai, they are not entirely powerless..."

"How could the Herrscher and the Honkai, who are high and mighty, understand the wisdom of mortals? Even the wisest person can make a mistake, while the foolish person may gain a crucial insight."

Freya also expressed her attitude to Otto.

The importance of the Dream World is self-evident. After all, she is to unite the power of this world. This power is not just the bodies of the masses. In the modern world where mechanical power can replace human power, Freya does not want the people she controls to be bricks. If she really let everyone she controls do construction, that would be a real waste of human resources.

The ultimate goal of the Dream World is to accommodate the consciousness of billions of people. Freya manipulates bodies through the Dream World and creates false personalities that allow those she controls to completely obey all her commands without losing their original personalities and knowledge.

Even if Freya gave a burly man an order to wear women's clothing, spin around three times, bark three times, and then make a heart shape with his hands for the readers, the reluctant burly man would eventually obediently carry out her orders.

Most importantly, the object manipulated in this way possesses the ability to think, which is completely different from Freya's other methods of manipulation.

Although this method is time-consuming and laborious, Freya felt that it was the most suitable way to conquer other worlds.

She even plans to use the same strategy in other parallel worlds next time she travels there.

Different personalities lead to different ideas, and these different ideas can collide and spark wisdom beyond imagination.

Otto realized he had underestimated Freya's importance to the Dream World.

Einstein then finished recounting his experience. Although his memories of the single-player Dream World became very blurry after waking up, the general content was like the TV series that Einstein sometimes watched to relax. Although he had forgotten a lot of the content of the TV series and couldn't remember the details, Einstein didn't find it difficult to recount what the TV series was about.

After listening to Einstein's Welt, I naturally felt even more helpless.

Of course, he felt that Freya's purpose was not limited to that.

The Dream World must have functions he doesn't know about. After all, Freya came to this world with the ultimate goal of fighting the Honkai in her original world.

For Freya, this parallel world was nothing more than a mock exam.

"Freya, can you tell me when you started researching your Dream World?"

"Hmm? The Dream World?"

Freya was probably taken aback by Welt's question and didn't immediately catch her attention. However, she quickly realized that the answer Welt wanted to know was not the time when she created the Dream World in this parallel world, but whether she had already established a similar theory in her mind before coming to the parallel world.

Certainly.

The answer is yes.

Freya closed her eyes, as if she had returned to the war known as the Battle of the Abyss.

In that war, the Alliance gained the upper hand, especially after Gray Serpent betrayed its members, which made it difficult for World Serpent to fight against the Alliance.

That being said, even when one has the upper hand, there is always a possibility of fatal injuries.

Even though the Alliance's Type-B Valkyrie were already very powerful at the time, the Alliance itself was not invincible. After the first Valkyrie died in that damned war, more and more Valkyrie were sacrificed due to the intervention of the Ocean Honkai Beast.

Freya still regrets it to this day.

She regretted not eradicating the World Serpent Organization for Kiana's sake.

At the same time, she regretted her pride and arrogance. It was because of her pride that she placed the weaker Valkyrie in the wrong place during that war.

Ultimately, she chose to place her forces in Sea Abyss City. Although she successfully stopped Gray Serpent and his group, she failed to prevent Kevin from leaving the Sea of Quantum. In the end, Freya's battle with Kevin escalated, and because it attracted ocean Honkai Beast, the number of victims continued to increase.

Freya looked at Welt and chose to remain silent.

And her silence at this moment is, in itself, an answer to Welt.

"..."

Welt's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded knowingly.

He knew Freya wouldn't reveal all the details, and getting her tacit approval was already beyond his expectations.

Just as Welt asked, Freya had indeed established the corresponding theory in her mind before coming to this parallel world.

The Dream World can preserve a person's consciousness, but for Freya, this is only her first real step.

If a person dies in the real world, it will also affect the consciousness in the Dream World. Only when the consciousness in the Dream World is no longer affected will the Dream World truly become the Valkyrie's Hall of Valkyrie.

When the souls and consciousness of fallen Valkyrie remain in the Dream World, they are able to consciously control their physical bodies in reality to fight Honkai Beast. Even if their physical bodies are destroyed, they can transfer their consciousness to a new body through the Dream World.

Yes, the inspiration came from a certain bastard bishop.

Since that bastard bishop can constantly transfer his consciousness into new bodies, Freya only needs to create bodies for combat and let the Valkyrie's consciousness and souls hide in the Dream World. Then, the Valkyrie who can transfer their consciousness into new bodies will be like the heroic spirits in Valhalla in Norse mythology, able to fight to their hearts' content even after death...

Of course, Freya could not allow the Valkyrie's bodies to die, but preserving Valkyrie consciousness and souls was indeed her earliest plan.

Prepare them a body solely for combat, so they can fight without any worries.

In order to prevent further casualties among the Valkyrie, Freya plans to explore the realm of consciousness and soul.

Perhaps such behavior is like repeatedly teetering on the edge of self-destruction.

But for Freya, who regards the Valkyrie as family and her people, this might not be a bad solution.

After all, once the Valkyrie possess bodies that are not afraid of death, they will inevitably be able to transform into the 'Fourth Calamity' that is not afraid of death.

The Dream World —no, to be precise, it should be the Valhalla, the Valhalla Valkyrie used to store the souls and consciousness of the Valkyries—is Freya's true purpose.

To this end, Freya created Dream World in this world and collected the corresponding data. At the same time, she also asked Otto for the First Divine Key, the Void Archive.

Otto is able to change bodies by transferring consciousness, Freya believes that he has some connection with the Void Archive.

Although the Void Archive is merely a functional Divine Key created by Dr. Mei using the core of the First Herrscher, containing almost all the wisdom accumulated from the Previous Era, it doesn't mean that the Void Archive's function is limited to this...

Welt was satisfied with the answer he wanted.

Freya also turned her gaze back to Otto.

The Dream World was just an experiment, and judging from the current results, it is clearly still a long way from its goal.

This led her to set her sights on the First Divine Key, the Void Archive.

"Give me the Void Archive, Otto."

After a moment's hesitation, Freya extended her hand to Otto and said.

433. Let me analyze you properly.

Freya demanded the First Divine Key from Otto right in front of Welt, Tesla, and the others.

However, Welt and the others thought that Otto would politely decline or make excuses to delay, but Otto's reaction was beyond Welt and the others' expectations.

Without a trace of regret, he chose to hand over the Void Archive to Freya.

Of course, for Freya, who knew this kind of scoundrel's nature very well, Otto's reaction was not surprising. If she were in his shoes, she would have made the same choice in this situation.

From a certain perspective, Freya felt that her personality was quite awful, and she did not deny that her personality was terrible.

Just like now, Freya is probing the connection between Otto and the Void Archive.

When Freya saw Otto so readily hand over the Void Archive, she couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.

"Really... that's wonderful."

Freya wanted to say, "That's such a shame," but she was worried that saying such a sentiment at this time might cause a misunderstanding.

Freya's probing of the connection between Otto and the Void Archive was merely an attempt to find out how Otto transferred his consciousness between different bodies. If the transfer of consciousness was related to the Void Archive, perhaps she could capture Otto in the original world in this way.

Otto's straightforward handing over of the Void Archive proves that the Void Archive has nothing to do with Otto's ability to transfer consciousness, which, in a sense, does disappoint Freya.

"... Now that I have submitted to the Herrscher, how could I possibly refuse your orders?"

Otto answered with a serious and sincere look, but Freya did not believe that Otto was an honest person just because he put on an honest act... Rather, this bastard's acting skills should be excellent, but he deliberately put on this clumsy acting.

Freya frowned slightly, but ultimately suppressed the disgust in her heart.

"It seems that handing over the Void Archive will not fundamentally harm you. But it doesn't matter. Losing the Schicksal Headquarters and then losing the Void Archive will ultimately render any schemes futile."

Although the Void Archive is not a combat-related Divine Key, Otto's combat power is largely tied to the Void Archive.

Otto of the original world never gave up the Void Archive, even though he knew that keeping the Void Archive would leave him with an unavoidable weakness. However, the powerful functions of the Void Archive were enough to make up for the loss of the Schicksal Headquarters.

After Otto of the original world was assassinated, his whereabouts became unknown. In reality, he ran away with the Void Archive.

The Void Archive can copy the things it records. Although the copied object cannot be 100% the same as the original, it can reach 70% to 80% of the original object's level.

For researchers like Otto, this small Void Archive is like having an extra portable laboratory.

Therefore, for Otto in the original world, although losing the Schicksal Headquarters would indeed make his subsequent research more difficult, it does not mean that it would completely stop him.

Of course, Otto's understanding of the Honkai differed between the two worlds.

Even if Otto of this world leaves the Schicksal Headquarters with the Void Archive, he might not have it as easy as the Otto of Freya's original world.

"How could I possibly scheme against you..."

Otto was about to say something when he realized that everyone in the room, including Freya, was staring at him.

Perhaps because he had exhausted his credit, at least no one in this conference room believed Otto's nonsense.

Otto shrugged, then flipped his hand, and a golden cube floated above his palm.

In this world, this golden hexahedron was brought back from Asia by Siddhartha Gautama, the ancestor of the Apolcalis Family, and was called a relic with infinite wisdom.

Freya obtained some information about the Void Archive from SU. Of course, although Kevin had also traded a lot of information about Previous Civilization to Freya during their meeting three years ago, the information Kevin gave her was not of high quality and was far less valuable than what SU revealed to her when they talked in the World Bubble.

It's all practical, high-quality content.

For example, the Void Archive has self-awareness and is a combination of the First Herrscher and Dr. Mei's super artificial intelligence Prometheus. Its core and microelectronic information are inscribed with the ultimate mission of 'saving humanity from the Honkai '.

It governs the library within the Void Archive, and qualified individuals require its permission to enter.

Since the library does not exist in a physical form, no knowledge can be taken out of the library in a real form; it can only be stored in the minds of eligible individuals.

The golden hexahedron Freya saw at this moment was not the true form of the Void Archive.

However, it can also be said to be the key to unlocking the Void Archive Herrscher of Sentience in the void.

"..."

Otto's decisiveness caught Freya off guard for a moment.

Even though Freya was mentally prepared, she was still surprised by Otto's performance. Freya even worried that if she didn't deal with Otto here, he might cause her a big (HX) trouble in the future.

This made Freya especially want to kill Otto here... but thinking of Theresa in this world, Freya sighed again.

The reason she showed such leniency to Otto in this world and was so considerate of Theresa in this world was perhaps because she didn't want Theresa in this world to repeat the experiences of Theresa in the original world.

Theresa, from Freya's original world, is now one of the four governors of the Alliance and also its external leader.

At the same time, she is also the Grand Bishop of the Schicksal Destiny Order.

Yes... Although the Schicksal was practically defunct after the Alliance was established, and the original high-ranking members of the Schicksal were either purged or exiled by Freya during her rule, under these circumstances, the Schicksal faction within the Alliance, which originally belonged to the Schicksal, gradually developed into the original cult.

To be precise, those churches, welfare institutions, and other organizations that were originally affiliated with the Schicksal were the lowest level of the Schicksal.

Although Otto eliminated the religious nature of the organization in modern times, signs of religion re-emerging within the alliance have emerged as it has grown.

For this reason, in addition to controlling the military mobilization of the Apocalypse Knights, Theresa also controls the followers of the Order of Schicksal around the world.

However, Theresa, whose power had become even more invincible, was not happy.

In fact, she lost her happiness from the moment she became Grand Bishop of Schicksal.

This was something Freya hadn't anticipated, and despite her subsequent attempts to salvage the situation, she still couldn't salvage the smile on Freya's face.

Although Theresa is still as silly as ever, often being sold out by her and still helping her count the money, Freya, as someone who has been through it all, can understand Theresa's feelings.

No matter how much of a jerk Otto was, he was still Theresa's only remaining family.

Freya would subconsciously show mercy to Otto because of his kindness in raising her, which was also because when she was young, Otto did indeed give her care and consideration like an elder.

Of course, from a certain perspective, such people are even more of a scoundrel.

Otto's relationship with the three sisters was extremely hostile, and Theresa was caught in the middle, naturally unable to make a choice.

Even though she eventually sided with Freya and the others emotionally, the fact that she was at odds with her grandfather still made her suffer for a long time.

Status and fame were things Theresa never craved.

Freya sighed softly. In the end, it was partly because she had pushed Otto too hard.

No matter how much of a bastard Otto was, Freya still hoped he wouldn't die in front of Theresa, or perhaps, that he could die in a way that would make Theresa applaud and beam with joy.

But as it turns out, that's not the case.

Theresa values family ties very much, and even though her family member was a bastard like Otto, she was still saddened for a long time when she lost Otto.

However, her sorrow was met with Otto's betrayal.

Otto not only faked his death, but also placed two clones of himself around him.
