Chapter 423
In order to conceal his identity, he went so far as to disguise himself, dyeing his original black hair golden and tying it into a single ponytail hanging over his shoulder, while spreading a strange religion among the people.
At first, Jana even thought that a certain Grand Bishop was the reincarnation of the other party.
"Deceiving the world, deceiving your friends, deceiving the rules... I really shouldn't call you human."
Jana honestly admitted her previous mistakes.
The other party did indeed obtain the Imaginary Tree Authority. If the other party's goal from the beginning was the Imaginary Tree Authority, then the fact that the other party was subsequently devoured by the Honkai Consciousness was clearly a deliberate act on their part.
As an observer, she shouldn't have intervened in the attack, but under the pressure of the Honkai Consciousness, Jana ultimately violated her principles.
That being said, if one hadn't gotten involved in that assassination attempt, one would naturally not be facing this fateful battle.
This is a novel experience that observers could never have.
Jana was naturally in a very good mood at this moment. The fact that the other party could distort reality with his will was not only due to the power of the Herrscher of Finality, but also because the other party did indeed have some control over the Imaginary Tree Authority.
Based on her observations, Jana didn't think the other party's goal was to resurrect a woman; they probably wanted to completely control the Imaginary Tree, or even replace the Honkai Consciousness.
"Sure enough, after getting to know them in person, I discovered even more secrets."
To the observer, such a secret is like a sweet poison. Even though she knows that doing so could endanger her life, she ultimately cannot resist the torment of curiosity.
"..."
Freya frowned slightly. From Jana's reaction and words, she naturally sensed part of her past life's plan.
My past self may not have been as talented as Mei, but in terms of courage, probably no one in the Previous Civilization could compare to me.
That mindset, which takes the rules and gods of this world for granted as objects to be trampled and slaughtered, is like that of a creature from a completely different dimension.
Because of her upbringing, Freya, while doubting the existence of God, still held a minimum level of reverence for Him.
While there is no evidence to prove God's existence, there is also no evidence to prove that God does not exist.
Some people say, "I can't see God, so God doesn't exist."
But how do you know that your shallow thinking is correct?
The more we know, the more we realize the unknown; the very existence of God is a false proposition.
Perhaps the rules that support the existence of this world are what we call God.
Using the information Freya knew, the Imaginary Tree that evolves all things and countless worlds, and the All-Encompassing Sea of Quantum, are the only two gods, and gods who are competing with each other.
After Freya gained access to the Imaginary Tree Authority, she considered completely altering the Valkyrie's life structure, transforming all Valkyrie into other life forms and causing the Alliance's original civilization to develop into a unique Honkai Civilization.
Afterwards, the Valkyrie's mission, just like the Herrscher, was to spread Honkai among civilizations on other planets in order to destroy those Star Civilization that were causing Entropy Increase.
However, such a future is difficult for the Valkyrie to accept.
Perhaps this is the only way to no longer be threatened by the Honkai. Since we cannot defeat the Honkai, we should choose to become a member of the Honkai.
However, even after gaining access to the Imaginary Tree Authority, Freya's options were limited. She was only confident in implementing one of the options she had originally envisioned, but that option itself was not easy to accept.
The vast majority of Valkyrie choose to fight against the Honkai, which is their reason for becoming Valkyrie.
If Freya destroys this reason, then the Valkyrie will no longer be the Valkyrie.
That's why the Key of Reason came about. Since the Valkyrie chose to fight, Freya, as the strongest Valkyrie who protects them, will naturally also firmly choose to fight the Honkai to the end.
But his past self clearly wanted to replace the Honkai Consciousness.
That is, to replace the rules.
Replacing the Imaginary Tree is absolutely impossible, so the only possible candidate is the Honkai Consciousness.
"Did I, in my past life, actually intend to control the Honkai mechanism?"
Her own birth may be a setup, but she may not necessarily follow the path she envisioned in her previous life.
However, Freya was still frightened by her own courage in her past life.
"... Or perhaps only a transmigrator like this would dare to think that way."
Based on the jumbled knowledge in his head, he had been frequently exposed to literature about killing gods and demons in his past life.
It is evident that in the previous life, before the transmigration, that world lacked reverence for the gods. Perhaps the civilization of that world was too arrogant, believing itself to be the center of the world, and that the knowledge and physical laws they developed were the unchanging truths of time.
Freya frowned. She couldn't easily accept this idea, which was the biggest difference between her and her past self.
She traveled through the Sea of Quantum to another parallel world, and through long-term access to the Imaginary Tree Authority, she experienced two completely different rules.
That's why she felt that her fearlessness in her past life stemmed from ignorance.
However, only such ignorant and fearless people would dare to carry out the plan to steal divine power and even more boldly attempt to replace the Honkai Consciousness.
Freya also admired her past self from the bottom of her heart.
Yes, that's incredibly stupid.
"... No matter what, I am not him."
Although Freya is indeed the reincarnation of the other person, the differences between them are not only physiological, but also include beliefs, objects of protection, and the things they come into contact with.
Even if my past self was able to access the truth through Mei, she could never have had the unique advantages that Freya possessed.
She is Freya Apocalypse, but she is also the Herrscher of Finality.
"That's true. There are significant differences in their personalities. Putting aside the fact that he holds grudges for now, if we follow my reasoning, and I failed to thwart his plan 50,000 years ago, then his plan must have been half successful. At least, you here are just his remains... The real him should have merged with the Honkai Consciousness."
Thinking about this, Jana suddenly felt a little depressed.
Logically, her assassination attempt should have failed, but in retaliation, the other party blew up the entire base, and Jana was badly injured by the blast.
That was a specially designed anti- Honkai atomic bomb targeting Herrscher and Honkai Beast.
The warehouse was almost completely filled with the underwater laboratory. In today's view, perhaps that laboratory was a lure to entice her to make a move from the very beginning.
"So that's how it is. Only by using my death can the Honkai Consciousness be truly deceived. Even if it wasn't me, there would be other Herrscher, other Honkai Beast..."
Jana felt that she had gained a lot from this trip and was about to stop when the sky suddenly split open and a huge meteorite fell from the sky.
Natural disaster – Starfall.
490. What is Whitelist?
In a reality distorted by consciousness, an apocalyptic scene suddenly unfolds.
The meteorite that shattered the sky crashed down, and the girl with a hint of helplessness raised her hand, as if to push the huge fireball back. The seawater mixed with the magma formed countless giant sea serpents, which emerged from the huge whirlpool.
Subsequently, tens of thousands of sea serpents spewed torrents at the falling meteorite, managing to stop it.
The collision of fire and water immediately triggered a massive explosion, yet the two people who caused this horrific scene remained calm.
Just as Freya never said that the Starfall impact she created with her will was only the size of a small meteorite hitting the Earth.
As more and more meteorites shattered the sky and crashed against the protective shield formed by the turbulent currents, Jana felt that she, who was supposed to be just an observer, had now become the protector of this planet. If she did not do her best to resist the countless falling meteorites, the entire Devil's Triangle Sea Area might be reduced to nothingness, and who knows what kind of impact that would have on the outside world.
"No, she had already used her own will to isolate this sea area from the original world... So that's why she was so reckless?"
Jana quickly noticed Freya's subtle action, shook her head, and said to Freya.
"If you want to kill me this way, you should give up now. Even if you kill me here, I can be reborn in any sea on this planet."
"A clone?"
Freya, who had maintained an indifferent expression, asked as she floated to Jana's side from inside the turbulent shield, a complex look appearing in her eyes.
"Pretty much, I can only say that the me here is not my original self."
"Is it this type again?"
Although his face showed no change in expression, he was inwardly furious.
Freya detested these kinds of 'enemies' whose true nature was unknown and who could create clones to wander around aimlessly.
Although Jana's situation is different from Gray Serpent and Otto, she is clearly the type who 'even if this individual is destroyed now, it will soon come out and cause trouble again'.
"... To be precise, my true form is Planetary Honkai Beast, and I have long since merged with this planet."
"Fake."
Freya rejected Jana's explanation without even thinking.
"You are merely attached to a certain area of the ocean on this planet, using a kind of assimilation ability to turn the seawater into an extension of yourself..."
The battle with Jana yielded Freya a lot of important information; from a certain perspective, enemies like Jana are difficult to eliminate.
One way is to break her assimilation ability with the sea; otherwise, no matter how many Jana are defeated, they are nothing more than 'clones' created by the opponent using assimilation abilities.
Another option is to destroy the planet, so that Jana dies along with it.
Of course, if Freya could pinpoint the location of Jana's true form, she could use her ability to distort reality to seal Jana's true form in an isolated space.
Just like Freya was doing at this moment, unfortunately the isolated space she created only captured the clone that the opponent used for external activities. Even if she killed the clone, she could not harm the opponent's main body in the slightest.
"Tsk."
Even in the final mode, Freya's indifferent expression remained unchanged, but the sound of her smacking her lips revealed her displeasure.
Although the truth she wanted to cover up was exposed, Jana was not angry at all. Being able to see through her true form was one thing, being able to separate her true form from the sea was another, and finding the location of her true form was yet another.
"... As an observer, I don't want to continue this pointless battle. Besides, I've already obtained the information I wanted. I wonder if you could let me leave? Although it's just a clone used for external activities, I don't like the feeling of a clone being destroyed."
Jana's answer was very frank; she stated her position and expressed her unwillingness to continue fighting.
For Jana, the assassination mission 50,000 years ago was a mission she could not refuse. She could not deny this fact, but after that assassination mission, she also successfully escaped the fate of being manipulated by the Honkai.
"How about we just stop this pointless fighting?"
Jana offered a calm suggestion, noting that the torrents above were gradually collapsing, but she clearly didn't take Freya's creation of a natural disaster seriously.
Considering that the girl in front of her was just an avatar, Freya could naturally understand her attitude.
The opponent's strength was already above his own, and it was also a clone that would not suffer any loss even if it was killed. The current battle was indeed meaningless, just as the opponent had said.
Freya's ultimate goal was to confirm the opponent's strength. She thought that as long as she could find out the opponent's weakness, even if she lost in the end, Kevin could fight in her place against Jana.
Although Jana's abilities were successfully tested, Freya's current strength was not enough to completely eliminate her. It wasn't that Gana's abilities were too invincible; even if Gana's current strength was indeed above hers, it wasn't strong enough to kill her instantly. However, Gana's particularly indestructible ability left Freya with no way to deal with it.
Just as Jana said before, even if Freya kills Jana's clone here, it won't make a difference.
Thinking of this, Freya's hostility lessened somewhat, and she indeed gave up the idea of continuing the fight.
Continuing this battle would indeed be of little significance.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. In this Consciousness Distortion Space, Freya summoned all sorts of natural disasters, and the occasional overflow of energy brought devastating catastrophes to the outside world.
Freya was naturally ready to stop. Although she was very unhappy with the current outcome, she also did not want to continue the meaningless battle.
After she stopped using her consciousness to distort reality, the number of meteorites tearing through the sky gradually decreased, and the torrents spewed by the tens of thousands of Great Serpent summoned by Jana also gradually weakened, and at this time they were disappearing one by one.
Freya, having deactivated her Finality Mode, silently endured the backlash from that state.
She went all out against Jana, even unleashing her long-treasured Cataclysmic attack, but ultimately failed to solve the problem with Jana.
Freya sighed inwardly at the increasing number of problems in the world.
"I'm not sure how much of what you just said is true. Since you said you don't want to engage in such a meaningless battle, then... don't show your face in front of me again. Otherwise, no matter how many times... I will start a fight."
Freya also didn't want to engage in such a meaningless battle, but sometimes she had no choice but to fight, just like this time. If she could completely suppress Jana with her strength, perhaps after the ceasefire, she could bring Jana to her side through dialogue.
In any case, the biggest difference between rational and irrational life forms is that rational life forms know how to think.
If they can suppress Jana, then no matter what requests Freya makes later, Jana may not refuse them all.
Unfortunately, Freya couldn't even manage a draw (HX). Her reality-distorting, environmentally-altering attacks were all defended by Jana.
As the loser, they naturally have no say.
"I cannot easily promise something I cannot do. After all, I was that person from the beginning. Compared to you, a fake blasphemer, that person is the true Herrscher of Finality."
Kiana?
Hearing Jana's heartfelt sigh, Freya frowned. Although the falling meteors had stopped, at this moment, Freya suddenly wanted to use Super Herrscher Collapse in this Consciousness Distortion Space.
The ability to unleash the power of all Herrscher simultaneously can cause the various physical laws controlled by the Herrscher to collapse within a certain range, thus creating a destructive effect on the real world similar to antimatter annihilation.
Freya pondered that if she unleashed a Super Herrscher Collapse, Jana's body here would instantly be reduced to its smallest atom, though Freya herself might die along with it.
However, Jana here is ultimately just a clone that can be discarded at will, which prevents Freya from having the idea of dying together with her.
After all, it would be too much of a loss to perish together with a clone, and Freya would never do something so disastrous.
"You're after Kiana?"
