Chapter 444

Even with the modified specifications from five years ago, it was still invaded by Humanoid Honkai Beast. Now, Changkong City, which is only a few times stronger than before, naturally cannot guarantee that it will not be invaded again.

516. It's been a long time, Lord Freya.

Freya reaffirmed the migration plan with Theresa and the others at the meeting.

She didn't want to leave any resentment in the hearts of Theresa and Welt, those two "good old men." Since they could reach a consensus, why ruin their relationship?

After reaffirming this at today's meeting, Freya and Aurora worked together to stabilize a space portal directly to the lunar base.

If it's just a matter of transferring Alliance personnel, Freya and Aurora can open a few more spatial portals, and all personnel can arrive at the lunar base in less than a day.

However, the priority for relocation was not the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in the alliance, but rather some important facilities and weapons, followed by the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior who entered the main battle group.

After the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of the main battle group arrive at the lunar base, they will conquer the ruins on the far side of the moon, which will be the Alliance's future residential and research area.

The new base built by Ryoma is only a front-line base and cannot accommodate everyone in Changkong City.

After Freya and Aurora stabilized a space portal directly to the lunar base, they first arranged for a group of Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior from the main battle group to begin their own expedition to conquer the lunar ruins.

In order to stabilize the portal, Freya had to pass through it to reach the other side.

"It's been a long time, Lord Freya."

"I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here."

Freya passed through the spatial portal and saw Raiden Ryoma waiting for her on the other side.

Because the moon is constantly revolving around the sun, its spatial coordinates cannot be absolute. In other words, whether on Earth or on the moon, opening a space portal in a short period of time is not a problem.

However, if you want to maintain this spatial portal for a long time without using absolute coordinates, it's like jumping on a speeding high-speed train. You'll land in a position that's not far from where you started, but if you stay in the air for several seconds, there will be a significant difference between you and where you started.

This is why Freya had to come here to stabilize the spatial portal, and the same applies to having Aurora come here.

However, Freya needed to inspect this lunar frontline base, as it had many missions to undertake.

Freya not only uses it as a frontline base against the lunar ruins, but also as a monitoring station to watch over Earth, a command center for future battles against the People from the Sky, and the first base station for the Alliance to leave the solar system.

Of course, it's too early to say all this now, especially since the lunar frontline base will need a lot of equipment to accomplish the later tasks.

"Of course, I just wanted to ask Lord Freya if I could take a few days off."

As Raiden Ryoma spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the spatial portal that had opened behind Freya. He clearly intended to return to Changkong City to see his daughter.

"Want to go home?"

"That's right, just as you thought, Lord Freya."

Ryoma answered frankly that although he was not good at expressing his feelings to his daughter, he would not hide the fact that he was a super doting father to his daughter in front of his acquaintances.

As a true Father Worryer in the Father's Sorrow Alliance, he has to endure daily attacks from another false Father Worryer.

Whether the other party is showing off his wife who has turned into a gun, or his three daughters who are already grown up, or even seeking his advice on his daughters' love lives, it's like having a dull knife stabbing him in the heart again and again.

Compared to this fake father, he himself was so busy with work that his relationship with his daughter became strained after his wife passed away. Even though Ryoma tried his best to repair their relationship, he couldn't close the distance between them due to accidents and misunderstandings.

He is like a commander who immediately pilots a super giant robot to fight a huge enemy after reuniting with his child after many years. Although he loves his child, he cannot express his feelings, which makes it impossible to resolve the misunderstanding between them.

Of course, at that time, Cocolia had arranged for someone to kidnap her daughter and secretly implant the Conqueror Gem in her body, which caused her psychological trauma for many years. For this reason, Ryoma often blocked Cocolia's path and gave her a hard time.

His performance has somehow caused his pairing with Cocolia to become the second most popular couple within the league.

Domineering CEO VS Witch Officer.

Ryoma had no idea how such an unorthodox pairing had become so popular.

To be honest, in order to understand what his daughter, who was this age, was thinking, he often used his Seven Archons authority to spy on her in the Valkyrie community. After all, Valkyrie of this age do like gossip and are interested in love and romance.

After hearing Ryoma's statement, Freya did not force him to continue working.

"Okay, I'll explain it to Theresa. However, the lunar frontline base can't be left without your supervision for long, so even if I try to get it for you, I won't be able to get you much time off."

Freya shrugged slightly. Just as she said, among the current Seven Archons of the Alliance, not to mention the three sisters, the other Seven Archons are also very important. Even though many officials help share the burden, it is still difficult to replace them.

Theresa goes without saying; based on actual assessments, she is actually more suitable to be a leader than Kevin, Otto, and Welt.

Of course, Theresa is of such a high standard, but she is quite psychologically fragile, after all, she has suffered a lot of blows to her heart.

Freya's attacks were the most intense, almost driving Theresa into complete despair.

Just like talking about toxicity without talking about dosage, Theresa, who has always been suppressed by Freya, has actually surpassed Freya in the level of handling political affairs, but she still feels that she is inferior to her 'second sister' in every aspect.

Theresa always believed that Freya was more suitable to be the Grand Bishop and the Head of Administration than she was. However, Freya herself knew very well that although she was capable of protecting the Valkyrie, she was definitely not as capable as Theresa of making the Alliance better.

Or rather, only Theresa is suitable to sit in the position of Head of Administration. Whether it is her personal charm or her political ability, she has won the recognition of everyone, including Kevin.

It could even be said that only when Theresa sits in that position will she not cause any resistance from others.

Each of the Seven Archons holds a very important position in the league. Although Ryoma was a substitute Seven Archons, Welt, Tesla, and Freya all highly recognized his abilities.

That's why Raiden Ryoma was chosen to be the head of the front-line base.

Freya's relationship with Ryoma is fairly good; at least there's no reason for Ryoma to have a direct conflict.

Whether considering Ryoma's abilities or based on her relationship with Ryoma, Freya would indeed try to secure a vacation for Ryoma.

"However, don't have too high expectations. The alliance has a lot to do right now. All I can say is that I will try my best to get you a vacation. If I can't get one, I will talk to Aurora and have her take Mei and take over this place in my place."

517. Ah, to be honest, I really want to destroy humanity.

To ensure the long-term stability of this spatial portal, either Freya Aurora must come to this side to reinforce the coordinates.

"Then forget it. The new base is severely lacking in functionality and is not suitable for Mei to come here."

Ryoma clearly didn't want his daughter to suffer at the lunar base.

Because of the limited materials available for building a lunar base, many functions could not be fully realized, resulting in a harsh environment within the frontline base.

Of course, for most Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior, this level of strictness is not a problem.

After being enhanced with Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody, they are now able to resist some radioactive substances with their bodies and are able to stay in space without spacesuits.

The current Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of the Alliance have finally reached the same level as the super soldiers created by Mei in the late stages of the Previous Civilization era.

That being said, the new base is still unable to withstand the harsh environment of space... The Valkyrie was teleported while Freya and Ryoma were talking experienced mild dizziness and vomiting without any protective suit.

"Ugh, I feel like throwing up."

"The feeling of going through the portal was awful."

"Ugh, Your Saintess Lord, could the spatial portal be a little more stable?"

"Exactly, it felt like riding a roller coaster."

Because Freya's Saintess was never that of a cold, aloof figure detached from these 'family,' Freya was beloved by these Valkyrie even without the title of Saintess. Furthermore, Freya frequently made time to connect with them, so many Valkyrie didn't show her much reverence when speaking to her.

This is similar to Theresa. Despite being Grand Bishop and the Head of Administration of the Alliance, the Valkyrie have teased Theresa quite a bit.

Freya was naturally dignified when she needed to be, but Theresa's dignity—well, let's not even mention it.

Hearing the Valkyrie's complaints after being teleported over, Freya realized that Ryoma's so-called harsh environment was really nothing to brag about. Considering the average quality of the Valkyrie entered the main battle group this time, they were completely immune to the 'harsh' environment that Ryoma was talking about, not to mention Mei, who already met the main battle group's standards.

It's important to know that Mei is not only Aurora's adjutant and bodyguard, but also the captain of the surveillance team personally set up by Theresa.

Of course, this monitoring team consists of only four Artificial Herrscher: Thunder, Wind, Ice, and Death; the user of the Third Divine Key, Shiola (Raven); the user of the Fourth Divine Key, Ryoma, who is currently repairing it; and Siegfried, who is in charge of the Sixth Divine Key and uses the Seventh Divine Key.

The monitoring team mainly serves part-time, but the fact that Theresa selected them fully demonstrates their capabilities.

While apologizing to the Valkyrie, Freya also gave them a physical examination, proving that Raiden Ryoma, this super-obsessed daughter-lover, was completely hopeless.

Freya had just finished arranging these Valkyrie, and before the rest of the Valkyrie arrived, she explained the situation to Ryoma.

"In short, Mr. Ryoma, listen to me carefully. Don't underestimate the physical abilities of the Valkyrie now. With their current physical abilities, they can already operate in space for a considerable period of time, not to mention that your daughter is the Lightning Herrscher."

Ryoma was somewhat bewildered; he clearly hadn't yet accepted the fact that the Valkyrie's physical structure was already different from that of humans.

When he came to his senses, he realized that the Valkyrie and the Fusion Warrior were all superhumans. In fact, he was the only ordinary human in the core circle of the Alliance.

"This is so unfair!"

The hall designated as the portal to the space is equipped with gravity and air circulation systems that allow Ryoma to survive while wearing a suit. However, in other spaces, Ryoma must wear a bulky protective suit to move around.

Honestly, the protective suit was so ugly that it completely obscured his good looks.

For an older man who wants to maintain his elegance in front of his daughter, this kind of environment is a nightmare.

Freya shrugged, a forced smile on her face saying, "Is it my fault?"

She came to inspect this lunar base to prevent the Valkyrie from being harmed by the lunar environment.

But if you think about it carefully, compared to the Honkai intensity that the Valkyrie are currently facing, the other areas on the moon, apart from that ruin, are actually like a beginner's village without any bosses or super minions.

To use a game analogy, the environmental damage in the current Honkai battlefield is about a few hundred points per second, while the environmental damage outside the lunar ruins is about tens of points per second.

Such damage would be fatal to humans, but the Valkyrie of today have experienced even harsher environments, so why would they be afraid of such an environment?

Freya realized that she had actually underestimated the Valkyrie's current physical abilities, and at this moment she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Well, if you judge Valkyrie by the same physical standards as her and Kevin, then naturally in her eyes, Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior are still 'weak little guys'.

But if you compare Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior with ordinary people, then Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior are all superhumans.

To ease the awkwardness, Freya suggested visiting the lunar base.

The relative coordinates of the fixed space portal do not require Freya to stay next to the portal at all times. At this moment, she is visiting the front-line base built by the construction team led by Ryoma.

To be a good tour guide, Ryoma even put on protective clothing.

"This is really inconvenient, Ryoma. Why don't you accept the Fusion Warrior modification surgery?"

Although Ryoma used an antibody, it was an antibody from several versions ago. If the latest Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody were used, it would be possible to seamlessly perform the modification surgery of Fusion Warrior or Valkyrie.

Of course, the success rate for men to become Valkyrie is very low, while the success rate for becoming Fusion Warrior is much higher.

However, Ryoma rejected the proposal a long time ago.

"Leaving aside the lifespan extension provided by the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody, with the current Alliance's Fusion Warrior modification surgery, you could even rival Kevin Kaslana before her evolution."

Freya was referring to Kevin, a super Fusion Warrior from the late Previous Civilization era who had already accepted the Chimera Project.

Kevin at this stage is already an invincible breed.

However, Freya defeated Freya in the Battle of the Abyss, and then an extra-large takeout meal was delivered to him. Like some novel protagonists, Kevin quickly became stronger after escaping death and directly became the so-called Black Dragon Beast Warrior Kevin.

In any case, Kevin is in a state that is neither Honkai Beast nor a human, so he can be said to be capable of creating his own category.

The description of him as half-human and half-dragon is only because it fits the image; in reality, the League couldn't find a reference for the other half of Kevin's creature.

"With Lord Kevin?"

Ryoma exclaimed in surprise, even though he didn't know how strong Kevin was before his evolution, he could imagine that Kevin was just as strong before his evolution.

This is similar to how, for ordinary people other than 'a certain gate beast', both Perfect-level Digimon and Ultimate-level Digimon are very strong, but they are completely different from each other.

Ryoma hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gritted his teeth and refused.

"I'm sorry, Lord Freya, but I still maintain that I don't want to give up my human identity."

"Your daughter is Herrscher."

Freya curled her lip after hearing this and coldly retorted.

"...uh, that..."

"Even without Cocolia and me, your daughter possesses extremely strong Honkai Energy adaptability, making her the best vessel for the Herrscher's descent."

Freya's answer made Ryoma a little embarrassed.

"The Valkyrie have undergone the modification surgery are completely different from humans in terms of physical structure, especially due to the difference in life level, and there is even a so-called reproductive isolation."

Because her level of life is too high, the essence of a man is simply insufficient to impregnate the Valkyrie.

This is also why some departments within the alliance are researching artificial insemination and the technology of turning eggs into fertilized eggs.

Freya shrugged and said.

"Your daughter was born with Stigmata, which means that even without the modification surgery, she is similar to Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior. As long as her strength continues to increase, she will eventually become different from ordinary people."

Faced with Ryoma's increasingly embarrassed expression, Freya's response was simply to emphasize the fact that "your daughter is not human."

Raiden Mei was born with Stigmata, but her Stigmata were not very obvious. Cocolia chose Mei as her experimental subject by chance, but Mei herself was indeed the most suitable candidate for the Herrscher of Lightning Herrscher.

In short, if your daughter isn't human, then what kind of human are you?

Freya now wants to incite Ryoma to say to Siegfried, "Siegfried, I'm not human anymore!"
