Chapter 385
Although Kevin understood what Freya was saying, he did not express his opinion. Even though he recalled the memories that had been erased by FU from the Previous Civilization era, he did not regret killing Himeko.
Just like when he told Hua that Himeko was beyond saving.
Perhaps Himeko could still be saved, as Hua said, but at that time, neither humanity nor the Fire Moth could accept Himeko as Herrscher.
Even though Himeko survived, she was still hated and hunted as Enemy of Humanity.
"Freya, I don't want to argue with you."
"Oh? Your memories have returned?"
As soon as Kevin spoke, Freya immediately understood his situation.
After all, neither she nor Kevin would compromise with others unless absolutely necessary.
Just like Freya herself, she only ever compromised with Kiana and Otto.
Her compromise with Kiana stemmed more from concessions between family members, while her compromise with Otto was a recognition of reality when she was still young and powerless to resist.
Now that Freya can no longer be threatened by Otto, she naturally no longer needs to compromise with others.
Similarly, Kevin has never compromised because of threats from others, whether in the Previous Civilization era or the present era.
But he would also make concessions for his friends.
Within SU's World Bubble, SU showed Freya the process of Kevin being trapped in the Sea of Quantum.
Although SU's schemes played a part, it was also related to Kevin's eventual leniency towards SU, and his willingness to be trapped in the Sea of Quantum.
From that moment on, Freya felt that if SU had been a woman, Mei might not have had a chance in the Previous Civilization era.
Freya shrugged and said with great regret.
"You don't think that just because you've regained your memories, I'll stop targeting you, do you?"
Although the World Serpent Organization's civil war did not occur before Freya left this world, SU was still in the World Bubble.
Freya was never surprised by these situations; some were things she had planned long ago, while others were results she derived from speculating on SU's personality.
"Your joining the alliance now is like walking into a trap for me..."
At this point, Freya continued to scrutinize Kevin, then looked at SU with increasing displeasure.
Although SU didn't give her any "heh" look, Freya still found it infuriating.
Freya thought that her constant growth was already cheating enough, but Kevin's sudden leap in his life level still made Freya want to say a million curses to SU.
Did you hear that? It's ten thousand "MMPs"!!
Even though Freya is stronger in terms of Honkai Energy and other comprehensive aspects, Kevin's focus on strengthening his physical strength is indeed a tough nut to crack for Freya.
"Miss Freya, we are now a member of the Alliance."
"Tch, they tricked me into leaving, then forced me to move into my house, and now they're a member of my family?"
Freya replied irritably.
To be honest, SU's approach was quite ingenious, and it would be difficult to see the full picture of his plan without considering the outcome.
Of course, for SU, this was just a scheme to kill multiple birds with one stone, a double-edged sword, a tactic of having multiple partners at once.
Not a single lie he told Freya: to change the world and fight against its Honkai, the people of this world alone are not enough to break the established facts.
Freya's journey to the parallel world and her bringing people back from it were all part of SU's plan.
But after Freya left, the Alliance's defenses suddenly became very weak.
After all, there is no one else in the world who can stand up to Kevin.
Whether the World Serpent Organization descends into civil war, or Kevin storms into the Alliance, no one can stop him.
Welt and Tesla arranged for Aurora impersonate Freya.
However, for SU, who knows Freya's whereabouts, as long as he reveals this information to Kevin as soon as possible, Kevin can quickly clean up the internal troubles within the World Serpent Organization.
However, he ultimately underestimated the current predicament of the World Serpent Organization.
At first, they only dealt with a few traitors, but the number of traitors kept increasing, and because the members were increasingly afraid of Kevin, they fought back fiercely...
However, resistance means death, and non-resistance also means death.
In the end, a civil war suddenly broke out within the World Serpent Organization.
Kevin didn't have much time to salvage the situation before the entire organization collapsed. In the end, Kevin simply disbanded the World Serpent organization, and most of the surviving members chose to leave.
Kevin, along with the remaining core members, followed SU's advice and, while Freya was away, joined the alliance against the Honkai.
"Miss Freya, for you and for Kevin, peaceful coexistence is the only option. Apart from the Herrscher of Finality, there is no enemy in this world that you cannot defeat."
SU gave his reasons for doing so.
In fact, SU didn't need to point this out. With Freya's current power and Kevin's current power, the aftershocks of the battle alone could turn the city into ruins.
Both she and Kevin possess power that completely surpasses that of ordinary Herrscher.
"If the two of you join forces, you'll be able to defeat the Honkai..."
"That's too optimistic. Besides... well, let's not talk about that now. There are some things we can explain later. Let me introduce you first. This is Kevin Kaslana from a parallel world. You can call him Kevin Two."
Kevin: ...
Kevin Two: ...
Both Kevin rolled their eyes inwardly; Freya was clearly deliberately changing the subject.
Although Kevin didn't have the power to make Freya compromise, Freya was also aware of the consequences of fighting Kevin here.
Freya also didn't want the people she cared about to be implicated, as too many Valkyrie had sacrificed themselves in the Battle of the Abyss.
Freya didn't want to acknowledge Kevin's identity, but she also didn't have the means to kill Kevin directly. Rather than saying she compromised, it would be more accurate to say that she had considered this possibility in her mind.
Just as SU said, the two strongest people in the world at present, working together, are enough to deal with all the Herrscher before the Herrscher of Finality.
If she could team up with Kevin to fight the enemy, it would indeed be a promising prospect.
But Freya could never agree to that.
Even though she knew deep down that this was the best option, she still loathed Kevin from the bottom of her heart.
This aversion comes not only from FU in his past life, but also from the fact that Kevin is willing to pay any price to fight the Honkai, but his so-called "any price" also includes the innocent who are unwilling to sacrifice themselves.
He is filled with hatred for the Honkai and is dedicated to fighting against the Honkai against the current civilization of humanity.
However, Kevin's approach was never to fight alongside the humans of the current civilization, but rather to never consider their feelings. He never hesitated to sacrifice countless innocent lives in order to fight against the Honkai.
Of course, he had his doubts.
But in the end, they all abandoned it in the face of the reality that the moment of the Herrscher of Finality was getting closer and closer.
"SU, you don't need to persuade me. I don't get along with him. I don't know how good our relationship was in my past life, but I don't like his personality."
Seeing SU's hesitant expression, Freya interrupted him and continued to introduce the group of visitors from the parallel world to the others.
"This is Kiki, also known as Kiana Kaslana. Hmm, I think it would be more recognizable to put K423 in the middle."
When introducing Kiki to everyone, Freya also smiled and looked at her little sister.
"So this really is me from a parallel universe? I didn't know I was this beautiful in my parallel universe."
Aurora said softly, although she felt that her parallel world self was not as tall as she had imagined, her long hair and heterochromatic eyes were indeed very charming.
This made Aurora a little vain.
"However, this should be the so-called half -Herrscher mode, hmm... It seems that my other self has not reached a consensus with Sirin."
"???"
Kiki looked at Aurora with a blank expression, not understanding what she was saying.
"It seems the relationship between my other self and the other Sirin isn't very good. Hmm, Sirin, lend me your power..."
Aurora could finish speaking, her pupils turned into a pair of bright golden eyes, and her long hair flowed backward, making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.
"If my eldest sister's Finality Mode can be called the Finality Goddess of Polar Day, and my second sister's Finality Mode can be called the Finality Goddess of Eternal Night, then my Finality Mode should be called the Finality Goddess of Sky Rift."
"When did you name our Finality Mode??"
Now Freya was completely bewildered. When did her Finality Mode get renamed Eternal Night's Finality Goddess?
440. If we really want to calculate it, shouldn't you be fully responsible?
Aurora's sudden transformation did indeed leave some people bewildered, but the oppressive aura emanating from Aurora transformed state naturally surprised visitors from parallel worlds as well.
They, who come from parallel worlds, all know that the little girl who is transforming is the same person as Kiana in their world; both are clones of the real Kiana.
However, she shattered everyone's impression of her simply by transforming.
It is cute, but also possesses a powerful presence that makes people hesitate to approach it.
"Hehe~ Sister, I'm awesome, right?"
The Aurora makes after transforming sounds like two little girls speaking at the same time, in unison.
The subtle difference in tone made Freya even more certain that the Finality Mode that Aurora was displaying was not complete. Although she had found a safe way to become stronger, the level of understanding between her and Sirin determined the strength of this state.
In other words, if she ever has a falling out with Sirin, she probably won't be able to see Aurora's Finality form again until the two of them make up.
Although Freya could see the flaws in Aurora's state at a glance, this way of reaching a consensus with the Herrscher Persona, jointly wielding the Herrscher's power, and sharing the burden could indeed unleash unimaginable power.
Even Kevin, who initially paid no attention to Aurora, couldn't help but take a second look at Aurora from the world's perspective.
Even Kevin from the original world is like this, let alone the people in parallel worlds.
They felt like country bumpkins who had just arrived in the city, and were astonished at how easily Aurora had mastered the power of the Herrscher.
It's not that ordinary people can't master the power of Herrscher, but the price to pay for mastering it is enormous.
Even Otto from a parallel world once planned to create Artificial Herrscher, but ultimately the Herrscher had to be halted due to various complex reasons.
Strictly speaking, the Kiana clone who obtained the Herrscher of the Void's power cannot be considered an artificially created Herrscher. Rather, from the moment of her birth, she was the Second Herrscher, Sirin.
Before the Second Herrscher Sirin awakened, her soul, which was like a blank sheet of paper, was gradually filled with color by the people around her. In the end, she was no longer the Second Herrscher Sirin, but Valkyrie named Kiana Kaslana.
Otto actually only resurrected the Second Herrscher, not truly enabled a mortal to wield Herrscher power comparable to that of a god.
To the people in the parallel world, Freya's world is strange, very strange.
It's the same Kevin, but in this world, Kevin has a horn growing from one side of his head. The jet-black horn looks extremely fierce, and the sense of oppression they feel is far beyond their imagination.
The stronger a person is, the more they can feel his terror.
Then, a random little girl suddenly displayed power that surpassed that of ordinary Herrscher.
Of course, they knew the little girl's true identity. Freya did not hide this from the people in the parallel world. However, hearing Freya talk about it was one thing, but seeing it with one's own eyes was another.
Moreover, it's not just Freya; even this little girl named Aurora has become involved with the so-called Herrscher of Finality. The Finality Mode she exhibits clearly possesses power surpassing that of Herrscher.
Whether it's Welt, Kevin, or Otto, they are all three of the three leaders of the three major organizations in the parallel world, and they all think this world is too crazy.
"How are you, sister?"
Aurora tried to take credit for her sister's actions, but unfortunately, Freya wasn't buying it.
She raised her hand, poked Aurora's forehead hard, and then said with a smile.
"My foolish sister... you just wanted to give the people from the parallel world a hard time, didn't you?"
Although Aurora was indeed very intelligent, she could see that Tesla and Welt's education of her was not simply about stuffing knowledge into her head, but rather about expanding upon it according to her interests and hobbies.
Of course, Aurora's interests are quite broad. During the two months Freya was missing, Aurora clearly took on the responsibility for the entire alliance on her behalf.
Thinking of her little sister carrying the heavy burden on her small, tender shoulders, Freya smiled with relief the next second.
"... However, you've really had a tough time these past few days."
Freya patted her little sister's head, her tone becoming increasingly gentle and considerate.
Amidst that gentle, warm voice, Aurora shyly deactivated the Finality Mode.
The oppressive feeling that had been weighing on everyone's hearts finally disappeared. Compared to the invisible oppressive feeling that only powerful people could feel, like Freya and Kevin's, the oppressive feeling after Aurora transformed into her Finality mode was very direct.
It's like a container of ice water that's already full suddenly being poured down from above.
Therefore, the oppressive feeling of Aurora comes quickly and goes just as quickly; even Tesla and Einstein only just began to feel a bit of suffocation.
"Second sister..."
