Chapter 461
"A husband-and-wife team fighting right from the start? This world is really enthusiastic!"
Without hesitation, Freya immediately entered Finality Mode, then deployed a higher-intensity barrier to block the lightning and beams of light coming from afar.
The smoke and dust were instantly dispersed, and the ruins within a radius of several kilometers vanished in a matter of moments.
This time, the barrier wasn't destroyed like it had been before. Freya couldn't help but purse her lips. Even if she wasn't a genuine Herrscher of Finality, it didn't mean she was powerless to resist Herrscher of Finality.
She had already embarked on a completely different path from the Herrscher of Finality.
If Honkai Energy and Herrscher power are forces within the 'system', then the will system that distorts reality is a force outside the 'system'.
That being said, simultaneously fighting two fully-formed Herrscher, one of whom was the Herrscher of Finality, still made Freya feel quite troubled.
In addition, Freya's consciousness was slightly damaged because she failed to dodge the initial sneak attack.
"So that's how it is. So you're the ones who destroyed this world, Mei... The other one, should be Kiana from this world? Or K423?"
After the ruins were reduced to nothingness, a huge crater appeared on the spot, Freya, who was in the crater, stared at the two Herrscher had descended upon the site.
Two girls with familiar appearances wore gorgeous evening gowns and exuded a menacing aura.
"..."
"..."
Freya was met with a long silence. Under the command of the Honkai Consciousness of this world, they not only had to eliminate all humans on this planet, but also completely destroy the planet's civilization, and now they had to eliminate this invader.
"Not going to answer? It seems I'm also hated by the Honkai Consciousness of this world—"
As she spoke, Freya's expression grew increasingly indifferent, and her divinity became more and more apparent. The wings of light that spread behind her echoed the wings of light behind the Herrscher of Finality in the sky.
The immense pressure overwhelmed the earth, causing it to rapidly crack open with hundreds and thousands of bottomless fissures.
The normal laws of physics were disrupted by the collision of their energy fields; the shattered earth began to rise into the sky, and lightning and cold currents intertwined...
The next second, Freya, who had fully entered the Finality state, didn't say anything more and charged directly in front of the Herrscher of Finality with the momentum of crushing the earth. The Herrscher of Thunder was immediately sent flying by the 'physical collision' between the two.
Freya, still full of inner monologue, swung simulated Black Abyss White Flower at the Herrscher of Finality while standing above the barrier, Herrscher of Finality retaliated with the Spear of Finality in her hand.
The sky seemed to crack open after this collision.
The simulated Black Abyss White Flower failed to break through the barrier of the Herrscher of Finality, turning into fragments due to the barrier's backlash. Similarly, the Spear of Finality failed to pierce Freya's barrier.
Freya immediately recreated a simulated Black Abyss White Flower, then stepped on the barrier of the Herrscher of Finality, sending her flying several kilometers away along with the Herrscher of Finality.
He was internally fretting that his own barrier hadn't even breached the Herrscher of Finality's barrier; this development was completely out of character.
Entering the Finality Mode on your own is basically stronger than any berserk mode with a 400% synchronization rate. You can easily defeat any weakling with one hand, and rescuing Rei Ayanami is a piece of cake.
Huh? Who is Rei Ayanami? Why did I save her?
Although neither side has breached the other's barrier, neither has the other side breached theirs, indicating that this will be a protracted battle.
Freya didn't want to waste time on such a meaningless action, after all, her goal was to save Penglai Si Jiuxiao, not to directly confront the Honkai Consciousness of this parallel world.
Freya sensed that the world had entered a kind of reboot state shortly after arriving in it, and that the world's Honkai Consciousness was clearly planning to use a reshaping process to filter civilizations.
Don't assume that such a Honkai Consciousness is benevolent. The Honkai Consciousness has no concept of good or evil; it is simply a 'programmed life' that completely follows the rules.
If a civilization is determined to be unsuitable for selection, then the entire civilization must be reset.
In order to reset the entire civilization, all life and history of the 'old civilization' must be wiped out.
In contrast, the Honkai Consciousness of its own world only wants to destroy everything, even developing Honkai Civilization on the ruins of human civilization.
That's right, this is the result of several discussions between Freya and Otto. They felt that there was something wrong with the Honkai Consciousness of their world.
Although the two only have the Honkai Consciousness world next door to refer to, the world they call the next door is actually the parallel world of the two.
In that parallel world, the consciousness of all humanity was pulled into the consciousness world, causing reality to almost come to a standstill in civilization. However, the intensity of the Honkai attack also decreased, which can be considered as entering a certain state of equilibrium.
Although the attacks did not stop, the Honkai Beast clearly considered human civilization in this state as destroyed, and their attacks were more like eliminating the few survivors.
At this moment, Freya had already tried to return her consciousness to its original state, frowned.
Although on the surface, Freya in her Finality Mode remained calm as she engaged in a fierce battle with the returning Herrscher of Finality in the air, fighting from the ground to the sky, then to the moon, and finally back to Earth, she was inwardly driven to madness.
"The Honkai Consciousness in our world is indeed abnormal..."
Freya was unaware of Fu Hua's past experiences, as Fu Hua had broken her own will and had not yet awakened from her coma until Freya went to this parallel world.
But Freya, after assessing her situation, realized that Fu Hua's coma was a warning to her.
Fu Hua used this state to remind Freya to be careful of the Honkai Consciousness within her world.
Even if Freya had privately speculated that the Honkai Consciousness in her world was abnormal, she lacked actual evidence and could not possibly take precautions based on speculation without any evidence. If she were to defend against the Honkai Consciousness in the same way she defended against people, she might make a mistake.
In the fight against the Honkai, one wrong step can lead to a series of mistakes.
However, if the Honkai Consciousness truly possesses the same mindset as humans, then the Alliance should be even less inclined to blindly defend itself.
Unfortunately, even with concrete evidence now, she can't change her current situation.
"Hopefully Kiana and Aurora won't fall for a trick... No, given Aurora's intelligence, she'd probably foolishly connect to the mental link..."
Considering that she herself is the backup vessel for the Herrscher of Finality in her own world, in that world, she is the second most important vessel after Kiana, the true vessel of the Herrscher of Finality.
Nature is more suitable than Fu Hua as a signal tower for the Honkai Consciousness to interfere with reality.
"Thinking about it this way, the appearance of the Penglai Si Jiuxiao is too coincidental."
Even as she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position during the battle with the Herrscher of Finality, Freya was thinking about how to solve all the problems in one fell swoop.
Even if we are schemed against, it's not a big deal.
Freya wasn't afraid of being tricked; on the contrary, she was afraid that she wouldn't learn from this experience.
Otto proved to her many times through his actions that even if some processes fail or even go wrong, as long as the result can achieve the goal, that is success.
Otto failed many times; he made countless attempts to revive Kallen.
Based solely on this awareness, he is the first person in modern civilization to achieve the willpower to distort reality.
However, his will could not distort reality, but rather sustained him. Failure after failure could not break him, and starting over again and again could not defeat him.
Even if he took a detour or even went the wrong way, he never gave up on his goal.
Because he never gives up, it means that he will never fail except for success, because failure is just another way for him to continue.
He failed so many times that anyone else would have felt despair and even given up long ago.
To some extent, this is also a distortion of reality.
As long as he is alive, as long as he continues to move towards his goal, he has not failed.
His will did not distort reality, yet he successfully changed reality time and time again.
Regardless of the trouble Otto's actions caused others, or the tragedies he created in his life, there are indeed many things we can learn from him.
That being said, Freya only doesn't hate Otto, but she can't deny Otto's crimes, and his ultimate fate will probably be as an experimenter going to the Sea of Quanta.
Having such a 'foster father' was both Freya's misfortune and her good fortune.
Even though she was targeted by the Honkai Consciousness, Freya did not wallow in self-pity, but instead thought about how to solve all the problems.
While she was thinking this, her body was still engaged in a fierce battle with the Herrscher of Finality. The Herrscher of Thunder, who had not been able to join the battle before, also began to launch a sneak attack during the gaps in her fight with the Herrscher of Finality.
Freya, who had underestimated the Herrscher of Thunder, was careless.
She didn't dodge. When the lightning-infused greatsword cleaved through the barrier, she had no time to dodge. The Herrscher of Finality's spear of light fell, blasting Freya into the ground.
Even though Freya's wings of light crossed in front of her at the last moment to block the spear of light, a part of her body was still ripped out by the spear formed of light.
Freya underestimated the strength of the fully-formed Herrscher of Thunder in this world, and also underestimated the level of teamwork between the two.
"Compared like this, Mei Two and Mei are really far apart. I just wonder who is the best cook among them."
Freya thought to herself, "Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out a way to escape this world."
"Since that's the case, there's no need to hold back anymore..."
During the fierce battle with the Herrscher of Finality, Freya's control over Honkai Energy continued to decline. Clearly, this imposter Herrscher of Finality was completely overwhelmed by the power she possessed when facing the real Herrscher of Finality.
Once the degree of Honkai Energy dominance decreases, Freya will eventually have no choice but to surrender.
Freya didn't know how many survivors there were in this world, nor did she know where Penglai Si Jiuxiao was. She was always worried that using natural disaster attacks would affect Penglai Si Jiuxiao and the survivors in this world.
However, her battle with the Herrscher of Finality had essentially destroyed the ground beneath her feet. If Penglai Si Jiuxiao and the other survivors of this world were among them, Freya could only apologize to them in her heart. After all, given the current situation, if Penglai Si Jiuxiao had been nearby, her chances of survival would not have been very high, and the same would have been true for the other survivors.
"If you were still alive, I would really be sorry."
Freya, who was blasted into the ground by the spear of light, reappeared directly through a spatial portal before the seawater seeped into the channel created by the spear of light.
The moment she appeared, the Herrscher of Finality kicked the Herrscher of Thunder next to her, sending the Herrscher of Thunder flying.
The Herrscher of Finality reacted very quickly; in the next instant, she plunged into a scorching inferno.
Lava flowed across the land beneath their feet, and the sky had turned a dark, oppressive black, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
The Herrscher of Finality looked around and felt as if she were trapped in a cave deep inside a volcano.
The oppressive heat and suffocating atmosphere emanating from the surrounding space, along with the malice emanating from the flowing lava, prompted the Herrscher of Finality to immediately retaliate.
The enormous spear of light exploded, carrying the power to destroy everything. However, even though the beam of light, capable of instantly destroying ruins within a radius of several kilometers, had destroyed everything, she still could not escape this incredibly bizarre space.
This is a world of consciousness formed in reality by a will that distorts reality.
Freya does not possess the power to kill the Herrscher of Finality, but she has the ability to imprison the Herrscher of Finality.
"It's a success..."
Unlike the Herrscher of Finality was imprisoned in the world of consciousness, Freya, who was still in reality, stared at the black hemisphere that occupied a radius of tens of kilometers in front of her.
The space where the black hemisphere is located has been completely separated from reality, forming a world that cannot be destroyed from the inside. Of course, it is also difficult to destroy from the outside, but this hemisphere world itself will not refuse the invasion of outsiders.
After all, there are no benefits; anyone who enters this hemispherical space will be trapped in that malevolent world.
The consciousness world Freya created in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area several years ago still influences the real world, and she doesn't even have the courage to dispel it.
Once things from the world of consciousness flow into reality, they can cause even more terrible damage to reality.
At this moment, all of the Herrscher of Finality's attacks were locked within this consciousness space. Freya could sense the Herrscher of Finality's resistance, but all her resistance was futile because she lacked the willpower to destroy the consciousness world.
"That being said, the Herrscher of Finality in this world reacted too decisively."
Freya was surprised by the tacit understanding between the two. The other party sensed the threat immediately and kicked the Herrscher of Thunder away. The Herrscher of Thunder ran away without looking back as soon as the distance was created.
Freya couldn't catch up with the receding lightning; in terms of speed alone, the Herrscher of Thunder was clearly superior to her.
In the past, Freya might have been able to use her spatial teleportation ability to catch up, but now, after creating this world of consciousness, she has long lost the strength to pursue the Herrscher of Thunder.
540. I contacted the Shenzhou side and demanded that they immediately launch "Operation Yellow Heaven".
The distorted reality became a cage that trapped the Herrscher of Finality. Although Freya did not have the ability to defeat her opponent head-on, she could indeed 'exile' Herrscher of Finality were stronger than herself.
Freya sensed the destruction caused by the Herrscher of Finality in that distorted reality. She destroyed everything in that space countless times. However, as long as the Herrscher of Finality did not possess the ability of a will system, she could not break free from the confinement of that space.
That being said, the other party's decision to let the Herrscher of Thunder escape was absolutely correct.
There is a fully-fledged Herrscher lurking at the moment, and even Freya has to devote some of her energy to guarding against it.
After all, the price for imprisoning the Herrscher of Finality in this space, which is distorted by will, is naturally very serious. The damage caused by the Herrscher of Finality in that space will be directly poured into reality once that space is dispelled.
In the end, with just a 'thud,' this planet will be completely destroyed.
However, regardless of the cost or the potential problems, if the Herrscher of Finality is not confined within this conscious world manifested in reality, she will only face a tragic defeat.
"Next... we should be searching for Penglai Si Jiuxiao. Sigh, I hope she's alright..."
Freya muttered to herself after deactivating the Finality Mode.
She had given up hope that Penglai Si Jiuxiao was still alive. Although her battle with the Herrscher of Finality was not long, it was still incredibly intense. Neither she nor the Herrscher of Finality had any intention of protecting the flowers and plants during the battle, which caused the aftershocks of their attacks to plow the ground beneath their feet several times.
Freya wanted to find Penglai Si Jiuxiao because she arrived in this parallel world through the Dream Deep Dive Device and the dream of Penglai Si Jiuxiao.
Therefore, if she wants to return to her original world, finding Penglai Si Jiuxiao is the best option.
After the Finality Mode was deactivated, Freya's rich inner monologue was no longer confined to her mind; an exaggerated expression of sadness appeared on her face, as if she were grieving the death of Penglai Si Jiuxiao.
Of course, this is just finding joy in hardship.
That's where the joke ends.
"In any case, right now, we need to find a way back to our original world. As for developing this parallel world, we can only talk about that when we come back next time."
Freya was worried about her slightly clumsy older sister and younger sister.
