Chapter 440
When she was young, the other party accepted Otto's invitation to join her chef team, which sparked her interest in Shenzhou cuisine.
Later, perhaps because he recognized her as a person, he joined the alliance at her invitation and taught her many concepts different from those of combat.
"I'm sorry, Freya, just as I said at the beginning, I am now Herrscher who stands against humanity..."
"Oh, really? However, the Alliance seems to be on the opposite side of humanity, and it's practically the headquarters of the Herrscher there; among the main power holders, there are three little Herrscher of Finality, followed by Lightning, Wind, Ice, and Death, a few Herrscher artificially hatched, who are now not much different from the true Herrscher born from Honkai; not to mention that Welt is planning to make Bronya the candidate for the third Herrscher of Reason."
As Freya spoke, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
From the perspective of various countries, the three armed groups that were already out of control have now not only merged, but their leaders are also Enemy of Humanity, such as the Herrscher. It is no wonder that various countries are hostile to the alliance.
Of course, the reasons why countries are hostile to the alliance are certainly not limited to this. The interests involved are the main reason for the strained relationship between countries and the alliance.
However, even though these factors were part of the reasons for the strained relations between the alliance and other countries, Freya had no intention of considering their feelings.
"Freya, I am still conscious, so there's no need to persuade me."
"Of course I understand."
Freya's face showed a very gentle smile.
"I just regret that I can't get a group of people to beat you up."
"..."
Fu Hua was speechless. Even though she knew her true nature perfectly well, she was still somewhat annoyed by her.
The next moment, the already otherworldly Mount Tai Xu, with its crimson sky and crimson rivers, was suddenly shrouded in black mist.
Fu Hua frowned slightly. Several portals belonging to the Herrscher of the Void appeared around her, followed by tentacles made of mist that reached out and attacked her directly.
"Natural Calamity: The Mist Monsters!"
"A natural disaster?"
Upon hearing Freya's announcement, Fu Hua was speechless. She felt that this thing had absolutely nothing to do with someone's natural disaster-type attack, but rather seemed more like a pornographic game that someone had secretly bought.
It's said to be a tentacle yuri-themed eroge (adult game).
Of course, Fu Hua, whose body was controlled by the Honkai Consciousness, did not complain about her boss's private preferences.
The tentacles made of mist were ignited by the scorching heat as they approached within a dozen meters of her.
"Freya, such attacks are not enough to bring me back. Until now, the Honkai Consciousness has been analyzing the consciousness world. This consciousness world that covers the entire Mount Tai Xu is composed of the Shenzhou troops stationed on Mount Tai Xu."
Although her body was being controlled, Fu Hua was not stingy with how to teach Freya to defeat her.
Freya shrugged and slowly descended from the sky, landing on the crimson land of this world of consciousness.
Although the tentacles made of black mist were broken up, Freya showed no regret.
Just as Fu Hua was fully aware of her own nature, Freya was also well aware of her power. If Kevin hadn't cut in line, Fu Hua would have been the second person in the League to break the Willpower System.
"Although we were prepared, it's still quite baffling that things have turned out this way."
The Mount Tai Xu at present is actually very similar to the consciousness world that Freya created in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area. However, the Mount Tai Xu in this alien world does not yet have the ability to interfere with the real world. This is also the reason why Freya cannot directly locate Fu Hua's location. The consciousness world that Freya created in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area has long since infiltrated the real world, turning the Devil's Triangle Sea Area into a forbidden zone that no creature is allowed to approach.
He sighed, lamenting that even though he had been prepared, he still couldn't stop Fu Hua from becoming Herrscher.
No matter how unwilling Freya was to accept this fact, she still had to face it. The black mist under her control was gradually eroding this world of consciousness. Fu Hua, who kept a calm expression, immediately rushed towards Freya.
"As expected of Freya, she had already prepared a countermeasure."
"It can't really be called that. The erosion attribute is very difficult to study. Until recently, we only managed to develop the ability to erode consciousness. It's still far from the ability that Kevin and I most wanted: to erode higher-dimensional worlds."
Freya watched as Fu Hua crashed into her Imaginary Barrier, then shrugged and smiled.
Neither Freya nor Kevin believed that passive defense would solve the problem; it was just that the Alliance had always been in a passive defensive position in the fight against the Honkai.
As the Alliance continuously improves individual combat capabilities, more and more people begin to acquire the ability to counter Honkai Energy. In addition, Freya's anti-Honkai Energy ability grows stronger day by day, and the Honkai Consciousness decisively stops giving birth to Herrscher. Instead, powerful Humanoid Honkai Beast are born to counter the anti-Honkai Energy ability.
In order to combat the Humanoid Honkai Beast, the Alliance began to replicate the Fusion Warrior of the Previous Civilization, and thus the Honkai Consciousness began to produce special models of Honkai Beast.
Freya created a consciousness world in a parallel world, Honkai Consciousness then researched ways to conquer this consciousness world by turning Fu Hua into Herrscher Transformation Fu Hua.
Being constantly beaten was not in line with Freya and Kevin's personalities.
Although Freya and Kevin knew that the Honkai mechanism could not be completely eliminated, they both agreed to give the Honkai Consciousness in the higher-dimensional world a good beating.
Moreover, given Freya's personality, while she was researching a new ability, the first person to figure out how to counter it was none other than Freya herself.
The Honkai Consciousness attempted to use Fu Hua's research to crack the world of consciousness, but Freya had already begun her research several years ago.
Although it is still far from the initial goal, by studying the unfinished Twelfth Divine Key of the Previous Civilization, we have explored the method of eroding the world of consciousness from the erosion attribute.
Of course, she is not afraid that the Honkai Consciousness will learn her methods of eroding the world of consciousness since she is now demonstrating this ability in front of Fu Hua. After all, after she developed the methods of eroding the world of consciousness, she began to develop methods to counter them.
In Kevin's words, it's 'absolutely insane'.
Although FU originally had a similarly strange personality, Freya's personality was clearly even stranger.
The Imaginary Barrier blocked the initial attack, but Fu Hua's subsequent attacks followed one after another. Accompanied by a magnificent combo like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, countless flames flickered on the pale blue Imaginary Barrier, shattering the Imaginary Barrier had blocked Fu Hua.
Freya remained calm, but her appearance had undergone a complete transformation.
Even she couldn't fight Fu Hua in her normal state. Although Fu Hua's body was controlled by the Honkai Consciousness, Freya's goal from the beginning was simply to bring Fu Hua back, not to eliminate any unstable factors.
Although Freya resembles Otto in appearance and personality, she still has many differences from Otto. She won't decide to eliminate someone just because they pose a threat to stability.
However, her eccentric personality led her to develop many ways to control herself, giving her several fatal weaknesses instead of the weaknesses she originally had.
Unfortunately, no one in Valkyrie was willing to learn it, and so far only Kevin has mastered one or two moves.
Moreover, Kevin only knew one or two moves to reassure her, so she wouldn't worry about losing control one day and having no one to stop her. Kevin never intended to use those moves against her.
The Imaginary Barrier shattered like broken glass, Freya, who had already entered the Finality Mode, raised her hand and unleashed a Cataclysmic attack.
The natural disaster-type attacks, which are manifestations of will, are the will system pioneered by Freya, which turns non-existence into existence.
"Natural Calamity - The Mist Monsters— "
The surrounding black mist instantly thickened, then transformed into countless wolves that attacked Fu Hua.
"Freya, why are your natural disaster-type attacks starting to take a magical turn?"
As one of the few in the alliance qualified to spar with Freya, Fu Hua knew very well what Freya's Cataclysmic attacks were all about.
If we were to describe it in terms of people, armies, and cities, Freya's attacks are all city-level attacks.
Storms, tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, cataclysms, and falling stars are all large-scale attacks.
Simply put, her basic attack is basically a full-screen indiscriminate attack; any natural disaster-type attack she throws out is an indiscriminate attack that ignores both friend and foe.
Now, the black mist has transformed into wolves. These hundreds of thousands, even millions of black wolves relentlessly besiege Fu Hua. Although many of them don't even have time to get close before turning into torches under Fu Hua's will, she is still exhausted from killing them.
Even if the wolf formed from mist is shattered, it will reassemble.
"I'm naturally good at precise operations; I have the blood of the Schariac flowing through my veins. However, most of the time, the Honkai Energy I need to control far exceeds the Honkai Energy I can control."
After entering the Finality Mode, Freya's erosion of this consciousness world accelerated, and the Honkai Energy she could use also gradually increased.
Or rather, it was stolen from Fu Hua.
"Freya, be careful, I'm about to use the Taixu Sword Technique."
"..."
512. Wait, wait a minute, stop it! Ah, no, don't lick it!
Countless flames converged above the immortal, forming a great sword made of flames.
"Watch out, Freya!"
Fu Hua, whose body and even will were controlled by the Honkai Consciousness, still reminded Freya with her own will.
The moment the flaming greatsword was formed, tens of thousands of wolves formed from black mist turned to ashes. Freya, who was in the midst of the wolf pack, also felt the scorching heat of the flames.
"It's just like the blazing sword guarding Eden, the heavenly fire burning Sodom."
The sentence recorded in the World Serpent Organization's database actually describes the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment that was in Kevin's hands at the time.
Some myths, once the mystery is solved, turn out to be the correct answer, no matter how bizarre they may seem.
The mythological sword corresponds to the Seventh Divine Key of Previous Civilization, a conclusion that modern historians and mythologists could never have conceived.
"Although I know you are currently under the control of the Honkai Consciousness... to someone who doesn't know, it looks like you're trying to mess with me. You're not doing this on purpose, are you?"
The scorching heat wave once again annihilated the black mist wolf.
Even if the wolves formed by the natural disaster Mist Monsters were endless, they still could not match this ultimate technique.
Freya was also thinking about Kevin's evaluation of Fu Hua.
He claimed to be better than Fu Hua in terms of adaptability to Honkai Energy, but in terms of combat skills, Fu Hua was superior.
Of course, if the two were to face off again now, Kevin would still be the victor.
Kevin's original advantage lay in his control over the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, but now he has the advantage in his will breaking through the limits and distorting reality, and as a living being, he is even superior to Fu Hua.
Fu Hua pushed hard in her direction, and the Flame Greatsword above immediately burst into endless flames, turning the wolf pack blocking her way into ashes in an instant, no matter how they gathered.
Heavenly fire devoured everything.
The Taixu Sword Technique, or Tai Xu Sword Qi, was created by the Immortal Red Kite Fu Hua.
It consists of five aggregates: mind, form, intention, soul, and spirit.
Its Heart's Essence is a technique called "Divine Sound" used in Previous Civilization to modify the human body.
Yes, it's still Dr. Mei.
Although the ultimate technique of Tai Xu Sword Qi was created by Fu Hua, in essence, it is a means of modifying the human body in Previous Civilization. It can subtly transform the human body into a container and channel for Honkai Energy, which not only increases the ability of ordinary people to contain and utilize Honkai Energy, but also avoids the corresponding risks.
The alliance can skip this step through surgical modification, but containers created by surgical modification are far less risk-free than those created in this subtle way.
Ultimately, the current civilization only benefited from the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody. If the Previous Civilization had obtained the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody, Mei would have been able to create more practical technologies.
This shows that the alliance still has a long way to go.
In fact, Freya also cultivates the Tai Xu Sword Qi.
After all, researchers naturally think in terms of using useful things.
The thing that Immortal Fu Hua feared most in her life was going astray and becoming possessed by evil spirits.
Therefore, the martial arts she created do not involve practicing True Qi (Honkai Energy).
Himeko's experience left her with enormous psychological trauma, which has yet to heal to this day.
The Tai Xu Sword Qi she created is a channel for cultivating True Qi (Honkai Energy) into the body. Once the sword heart and sword form are perfected, True Qi can be drawn from the surroundings and circulated freely in the meridians.
Therefore, compared to other martial arts, the power of the Tai Xu Sword Qi is stronger, but the practitioner's dantian does not store True Qi (Honkai Energy).
With the help of an old friend, she reorganized and rewrote this martial arts style using traditional Shenzhou culture to make it more suitable for the local context.
Among Heart's Essence and Intent Essence are internal skills, while Form Essence and Soul Essence are sword techniques. Form Essence and Intent Essence require specific weapons, Soul Essence requires too much comprehension, Divine Essence is essentially about shaping and extending Honkai Energy, and Heart's Essence and Form Essence are for enabling the human body to control more Honkai Energy.
By removing the traditional culture of Shenzhou, under the 'Divine Sound' technology, practitioners do not store Honkai Energy in their bodies, thus reducing the likelihood of losing control due to Honkai Energy dosage.
Freya learned the Tai Xu Sword Qi with the intention of eliminating Honkai Energy from her own body.
However, this goal failed from the very beginning.
Not to mention that her life is related to the 'Freya's Holy Blood' circulating in her body, although the 'Freya's Holy Blood' has the property of anti-Honkai Energy, it is essentially a more intense form of Honkai Energy.
If Freya were to cultivate entirely according to the methods of the Tai Xu Sword Qi, she would only end up dying on the spot.
The Tai Xu Five Aggregates sound very complicated, after all, they had to conform to the culture of Shenzhou at that time, but in reality, they are not as difficult to understand as they seem.
The "heart," or "sword heart," is, in layman's terms, the method of getting the body into a competitive state.
Simply put, it's like the 'ZONE' in a certain superpowered basketball game, which allows you to reach 100% of your strength, jumping ability, speed, vision, reaction time, etc., essentially enabling your body to perform beyond its normal level.
After entering the Finality Mode, Freya's mind is in an extremely calm state, which allows her to exert superhuman strength, so she does not need to specially cultivate her Heart's Essence.
Form, or moves, is simply a skill that is constantly refined. In this respect, Freya and Kevin cannot surpass Fu Hua, but both of them have their own fighting styles and do not blindly imitate the moves of others.
Yi, that is, will, but the meaning of Fu Hua refers to the unity of man and sword. In fact, it has nothing to do with the other four yin, nor is it a kind of martial arts. Instead, it requires the ancient Xuanyuan Sword to be used. The sword intention is actually Chi Yuan, which was incorporated into the Taixu sword energy system for the convenience of others to understand.
The state of man and sword becoming one is actually too profound. After all, you can't just look at the person, you also need to look at the weapon. And how the weapon can cooperate with the user is really difficult, as most weapons are destroyed as soon as they come into contact with Honkai Energy.
Fu Hua is able to use the power of meaning; simply put, she Divine Key.
Kevin could do that too, but instead of getting the Seventh Divine Key back from Siegfried, he used a high-quality replica of the Seventh Divine Key.
Soul, on the other hand, is a state of being, which is the essence of swordsmanship.
