Chapter 424
That being said, when Freya heard that Jana had her eye on her older sister, she immediately revealed a ferocious expression after deactivating her Finality Mode.
Jana looked at her expressionlessly, clearly knowing that Kiana was her Achilles' heel and could not be touched casually, so she answered calmly.
"That's not the case. As I said, I am an observer. In this world, what is more worthy of observation than the agent of Honkai Consciousness, the Herrscher of Finality?"
"Get away from Kiana, or I'll kill you, even if you're just a clone."
"You can't do it, you can't break through my defenses."
Just as Freya had exposed her disguise before, Jana also decisively refuted Freya's threatening words.
For Jana, who has the ability to control all the oceans on this planet, Freya could not possibly cause her any harm unless Freya projected her distorted reality into the real world.
If she does this, the first to be harmed will be all of humanity in the real world.
A catastrophe attack is, literally, a series of real natural disasters.
For vulnerable humans, Freya's will manifests natural disasters, including but not limited to storms, snowstorms, heavy rains, floods, and even meteorite falls, which are enough to easily take their lives.
Freya, who has no intention of taking the path of a demon king in this world, cannot possibly destroy her image as Saintess in the eyes of the Valkyrie.
Natural disasters can harm oneself, but Freya wouldn't use such attacks in reality, so her other methods naturally wouldn't be very effective against her.
This is why Jana was able to confidently refute. Although she remained expressionless, her robes had changed from their original black and red to a peaceful white.
"Blabulators, we should coexist peacefully..."
Her blue hair swayed as Jana spoke calmly.
Although Freya had stopped her attacks and the meteors were no longer falling through the sky, the hellish atmosphere in this Consciousness Distortion Space did not diminish in the slightest.
Freya was naturally Jana's suggestion; if Kiana chose to compromise, she would also back down. That said, having someone who claimed to Planetary Honkai Beast and the Sea Herrscher by Kiana's side was far too risky.
I disagree.
"Well, in exchange, I will give you the Stigmata Terminal. I know you want it, but it's in my hands."
"I see. You deliberately showed yourself earlier."
Upon hearing Jana's answer, Freya instantly pieced together some clues.
Now I understand why Jana appeared despite my attack; after all, it was part of her plan.
"I just want to stay by her side Finality. Even if you object, I will still go to her side."
Jana answered calmly, but the firmness in her words left no room for argument.
Freya was silent for a moment, then asked with some curiosity.
Why are you so obsessed with Kiana?
"..."
Freya didn't expect Jana's reply to be so soft, so soft that she almost didn't hear it if she wasn't paying attention.
After hearing Jana's answer, Freya was initially skeptical, but then her expression became complicated.
"Fine, since that's the case, I'll let you protect Kiana, that should be fine... Did you think I would say that? Even so, I agree that you can get close to Kiana, but the time you can spend with Kiana each day is limited, and you still need to follow a few of my requirements."
"..."
Faced with Freya's increasingly demanding demands, Jana thought about it and finally agreed, since it was the only way to stay by Kiana's side in a reasonable way.
She and Jana left the Consciousness Distortion Space together, but the Devil's Triangle Sea Area had become a forbidden inferno. Within this Consciousness Distortion Space isolated from reality, Freya's previous cataclysmic attack was sealed away.
That being said, even a small leak of the isolated attack can have a huge impact on the surrounding seas.
Freya even saw several massive glaciers in the distance, which would clearly have a significant impact on the climate of North American continent in the coming months.
Freya never expected that she would eventually reach an agreement with Jana.
To be honest, even natural disaster attacks can barely break through defenses in the Consciousness Distortion Space. She really has no way to deal with this kind of powerful guy who is not her true form.
As soon as Freya left the Consciousness Distortion Space, she naturally began to arrange for the Valkyrie squad that had accompanied her, and then reported her safety to the Alliance members who were worried about her.
Jana watched her finish up the whole time. Now that she had acquired the Stigmata Terminal, her reason for being in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area naturally disappeared.
Watching Freya dedicate herself to the cause of human civilization, which is as insignificant as an ant, Jana couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Not only the Finality, but even this blasphemer condescended to become human, which made Jana, who originally looked down on human civilization, curious about those inferior creatures.
In fact, she was willing to become human for the sake of the Finality.
"The other party is the younger sister of Finality, who is also a 'Apostle' of the Honkai," Jana said after thinking for a moment.
"... Do you know what a 'Whitelist' is?"
"Whitelist?"
Jana's words interrupted Freya's thoughts and made her stop making arrangements for the Saintess. She repeated the words Jana had just said, but looked at her with a puzzled expression.
What is Whitelist?
"You really don't know that Honkai, as a filtering mechanism of the Imaginary Tree, naturally has a so-called Blacklist and Whitelist. The Blacklist consists of civilizations with Entropy Increase, and human civilization has always been on this Blacklist."
Jana looked at Freya and continued.
"In your minds, the Honkai brings disaster and is an abhorrent existence. But what if the Honkai's purpose is to prevent the universe's Entropy Increase and to avoid Heat Death, and what if human civilization is the disaster of this universe and must be destroyed?"
Faced with Jana's words, which completely negated everyone who fought against the Honkai, Freya fell into a long silence.
Having access to the Imaginary Tree Authority, she naturally knew the workings of the Honkai, and she knew the reasons why the Honkai destroyed human civilization.
What is Whitelist?
After a long silence, Freya asked.
Jana wasn't surprised that she avoided the topic, and simply gave a very calm reply.
"A civilization that helped Honkai Entropy Decrease the universe's entropy."
That was Freya's last conversation with Jana before they parted ways.
The Devil's Triangle Sea Area has become a forbidden zone for life, and even Honkai creature are unwilling to set foot in it.
Freya returned to the Saintess in silence and left, completely ignoring the warnings from the United States, heading back to the Alliance headquarters that occupied Changkong City.
It wasn't until five years later that Freya told those around her about it.
Epilogue of Volume Four
Volume 4 is finally coming to an end.
Aside from the first volume being a long scroll, the fourth volume is also a long scroll. Looking back after finishing the fourth volume, it's still the same old story, somewhat deviating from the original outline. However, issues such as Entropy Increase and Entropy Decrease have been raised.
The fact that the positions of Honkai and human civilization were reversed at the end explains some of the issues.
The next volume—I'm not sure if it'll be the last—is still quite a lot to write. I'll try to finish it in the next volume as much as possible and finish this book as soon as possible, since its popularity has dropped quite a bit. So, I'll try to reduce the amount of filler words.
This also reduced the amount of romance scenes I originally planned to write, since I'm not really good at stuffing romantic subplots into the main storyline.
I still hope to receive your support and encouragement. I will do my best to present the best sequel...

491. There is an irreconcilable conflict between Honkai and Valkyrie.
Five years have passed since the Devil's Triangle Sea Area became a forbidden zone where neither humans nor Honkai Beast could survive. As the Honkai stronger, the disasters they bring are becoming more widely known, and the struggle between humans and the Honkai is becoming increasingly fierce.
Five years is a period of time that is enough for the alliance standing on the front line against the Honkai to undergo earth-shattering changes.
In the past five years, the Changkong City, which is occupied by the alliance, has undergone tremendous changes, with major technological breakthroughs occurring almost every day.
After five years of development, the alliance's military strength is now more than ten times what it was five years ago, and the combat power of its individuals has even broken through the limits once again.
However, faced with the reality of this organization becoming increasingly powerful, the increasingly mature girl often wore a melancholy expression when she was alone.
January 1, 2017, was another terrible start to the New Year for the girl. Even she, the Saintess in charge of Medical and Pharmaceutical and Honkai Energy Research Consultant, was forced to act as an assistant to handle a large amount of political affairs.
In fact, every New Year brings a host of inexplicable political issues, which cannot be resolved in a short time by the current Head of Administration alone.
Of course, the Head of Administration is treated as a mascot has done a good job in recent years. Even though she has always relied on her aides and others for help, she has naturally become more experienced after handling more government affairs. However, there are still occasional situations where she cries out for help.
In order to unite the forces within the organization, the alliance began restructuring three or four years ago, aiming to completely eliminate the traces of the three major organizations and make the three remaining factions disappear completely.
Of course, as long as there are differing political opinions, or due to radical or conservative personalities, new factions will eventually emerge. However, the original stubborn members within the organization do need to be eliminated.
Whether it's the remnants of the World Serpent who survived, or the internal affairs personnel who emerged from the Anti-Entropy Executors, they can all squeeze out the remaining members of the original Schicksal faction.
Incidentally, she also eliminated even the most basic privileges of the Schicksal Senate.
"Why..."
The awakened girl let out a melancholy sigh. She had been pondering the information Jana had revealed about the Honkai's Whitelist, something she hadn't been able to tell anyone else yet.
The very nature of Whitelist is enough to completely erase the Valkyrie's purpose.
"Ugh, sob..."
The woman lying next to her seemed to be awakened by her movements, and subconsciously exuded a charming aura, her long gray-gold hair shining brightly in the morning light.
She slowly opened her eyes, subconsciously smoothed her bangs, and then asked with a heavy weariness.
"... Lord Freya? You're awake?"
"Rita?? I'm sorry, I was a bit too rough just now. You must have had a hard night. Get some rest."
After saying that, she gently kissed Rita's forehead.
Freya, who has been troubled by the Whitelist, simply cannot resist the temptation of her increasingly charming and alluring bedmate.
Besides, Freya had already confirmed her feelings five years ago. In any case, such a relationship is very common among Valkyrie, so she naturally had no intention of tolerating it. In addition, her bedmate was always seducing her in provocative pajamas, so how could she possibly resist?
Looking at the alluring naked body under the covers, she subconsciously became as if drunk, her mind going haywire, and she unconsciously hugged the other person.
"... Lord Freya, how much do you like me?"
Rita, now fully awake, licked her lips—an unconscious gesture that stirred the blood.
Although Freya is no longer human physiologically, she still has these needs. Besides, being with Rita allows her to forget some of her troubles, no matter what she does.
"I like you to an extreme degree, good morning, Rita."
"Good morning, Lord Freya. Oh, and Happy New Year, haha~ Speaking of which, the annual political affairs at this time of year..."
Upon hearing her answer, Rita replied with great pleasure, followed by a weary sigh.
Every year at the beginning of the year, the unexpected extra administrative affairs give them a headache. Even Kevin, who is not from the Department of Internal Affairs, is pulled in to help because of the shortage of manpower.
After all, no matter how much he wasn't from the Department of Internal Affairs, he was still one of the founders of two organizations and had accumulated some experience in this area.
"Yes, at this time of year..."
Freya gave a wry smile, because for this reason, she didn't even want to get out of bed.
"Lord Freya... can't you tell us what's troubling you?"
Rita's question came so abruptly that Freya was caught off guard for a moment.
"Wait, huh?"
When Freya came to her senses, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, wondering how Rita knew about this, but then she felt it was only natural.
Even if one's acting skills are decent, no amount of skill can hide one's troubles from their partner.
Besides, Rita has been taking care of her for eleven years.
She was actually born in 2006, and Rita was always by her side throughout her childhood.
You could say she watched me grow up.
Freya sighed softly, indeed wanting to find someone to confide in.
After she slowly explained the matter of Jana and the Whitelist, Rita had already sat up, gradually widened her eyes.
"Lord Freya, do you believe what that Miss Jana said? She's been around Miss Kiana for five years now, and she seems suspicious no matter how you look at her... And what's this talk about Whitelist? What does it mean to help Honkai Entropy Decrease the universe's entropy? Doesn't she mean she wants us to destroy the human civilization on this planet?"
Jana, who joined the League of Legends five years ago at Kiana's invitation, is now Kiana's Adjutant.
Of course, her appearance did cause quite a few troubles, but fortunately Freya managed to suppress them all.
