Chapter 463

It can only be said that Himeko truly lives up to her reputation as a member of the Assault Team; the contrast between her sober and drunken states is enormous.

The members of that drunkard squad basically all had such contrasting dualities.

Because Himeko and Himeko look alike, Fu Hua has paid a lot of attention to the other's life. Speaking of Murata Himeko, one cannot help but mention the rumors about her among the students.

Her intellectual charm and her status as a female teacher greatly attract young students.

Himeko not only works as a teacher at the St. Freya Academy, but also occasionally teaches a few classes at the Senba Academy, which is why she receives a lot of attention from the male teachers Senba Academy.

Those male teachers who were pursuing Himeko would never have imagined that she would behave like this when Himeko was drunk, though of course, much better than Laguna when he was drunk.

Fu Hua recalled the first time she drank with Laguna.

When the members of the Assault Team are sober, they are all kind and gentle older sisters who carry out their duties. But once they get drunk, they can jump onto the table, take off their clothes, and rap.

Fu Hua 'Himeko feelings, but considering Himeko's abilities, Fu Hua shook her head.

"Thank you very much, Miss Himeko. If possible, I hope you can stay by Lord Freya's side. I think she needs your company."

Fu Hua didn't want to deny Himeko's intentions and abilities, so she could only let her do what she could.

She didn't want what happened in a parallel world to happen to Himeko in front of her.

Both she and Freya wanted to protect this gentle woman who seemed to be the reincarnation of Himeko, and despite their many differences in personality, neither of Freya wanted her to be in danger.

Having realized that there was nothing she could do, Himeko let out a soft sigh and nodded.

"I understand, Miss Fu Hua. I just visited Freya. Although I don't know what the situation is like in the Alliance right now, it must be terrible, but I trust you... I'm entrusting Freya to you."

After saying that, Himeko bowed to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua didn't say anything more, and left without looking back.

For some reason, Fu Hua saw her own weak and helpless self in Himeko.

Fu Hua couldn't comment on whether Freya's overprotection was right or wrong, but the person involved certainly wasn't in a good mood.

"Perhaps Freya should have a proper talk with Himeko."

The feeling of being powerless is truly unpleasant.

Fu Hua understands this deeply, and that's why she doesn't want her past experiences to happen to Himeko.

She didn't want Himeko to end up like she had, unable to do anything when her benefactor became Herrscher, nor did she want Himeko to end up like her, only able to wait in the base for events to unfold, only to receive the news of her benefactor's death.

"Freya, you wouldn't want Miss Himeko to feel that way, would you?"

Although Freya is not FU, Fu Hua feels that Freya inherited FU's regrets and resentment.

In order to travel to Shenzhou, Fu Hua finally chose a Valkyrie fighter. Although she was not incapable of deploying Floating Battleship with her authority, most of the Alliance's Floating Battleship were currently undergoing modifications, with only a small number maintaining routine patrol duties.

After the Honkai Consciousness began interfering with global communications, those Floating Battleship lost contact with each other.

The number of Floating Battleship in the Alliance is already very small, and they also need to assist other Valkyrie in eliminating the Honkai Beast in the sky. Fu Hua can only act alone. Under these circumstances, the Valkyrie fighter, which can be controlled by a single person, is very useful.

After setting the flight path, Fu Hua began to concentrate on her work.

She has just broken through the limits of her will. Although once the will is beyond its limit, there is no distinction between high and low or strong and weak. How strong one's willpower can be depends on how strong one's will is.

The so-called invincible will is no different from the will to distort reality and create things, or the will to distort reality and rewrite facts.

That being said, Fu Hua's current condition is not very good, after all, she shattered her invincible will in order to remind Freya.

This is like a piece of hard steel breaking into countless pieces. Even if it is glued back together, the numerous cracks make the steel very brittle.

Fu Hua now not only needs to reforge her will, completely melting the shattered will into seamless steel, but also wants to explore other functions of her willpower.

After all, Freya's willpower can create things, and Kevin's willpower can rewrite facts; it's impossible not to envy them.

The Valkyrie fighter, switched to autopilot, headed towards Shenzhou.

On the other side, in the outskirts of a city in the Far East that had become a battlefield, the scene of missiles, machine guns, and other weapons flying everywhere, with nuclear tactical weapons falling from time to time, suddenly vanished as if they had never existed.

Welt, still maintaining his appearance as the Penglai Si Jiuxiao, failed to connect to the Alliance once again using his communicator and said seriously.

"Something's wrong. The coalition stopped firing ten minutes ago. Our communication with the coalition has been disrupted from the beginning. Kiana hasn't been able to contact Aurora for over ten minutes."

"Not only Aurora, but Freya can't be contacted either."

Kiana frowned. Although the mental link still existed, she instinctively felt that if she were to let her consciousness penetrate into the mental link, she might completely lose herself.

It was a very mysterious feeling, one that even Kiana herself couldn't explain, but she did have a bad feeling under these circumstances.

As the vessel for the Herrscher of Finality in the present civilization, she felt that she could never be too careful.

To explain it in the words of my second sister, who is sometimes foul-mouthed but only has a sharp tongue, it means being cautious to an unhealthy degree.

Of course, Kiana couldn't go that far, but she would never gamble on any situation that warranted her suspicion or vigilance, even one with only a one percent chance of failure.

"The enemy seems to have withdrawn from the coastal areas, but not from far east."

After Raven returned from scouting the enemy situation using the Third Divine Key, he asked a question.

"What's next? Should we continue to draw the coalition's attention, or return directly to the alliance?"

"Shiola, have you seen anything, or any creature, that's causing this?"

Kiana noticed something amiss in the actions of the allied forces and immediately followed her instincts to ask.

"Hearing what Kiana said, it seems there is such a peculiar Honkai Beast, or perhaps it's just an illusion..."

Because of the function of the Third Divine Key, Raven has a very wide detection range, and she naturally noticed a creature that was behaving strangely and had a rather peculiar appearance.

"It should be an ordinary Humanoid Honkai Beast, except that it has a pair of wings, very long and thin limbs, and a head that is somewhat shaped like an iron tower."

"Humanoid Honkai Beast?"

Kiana repeated her words. Although unlike her two sisters who used their brains for scientific research, she mostly used her brains for combat, but that didn't mean she was the least intelligent of the sisters...

Okay, on average, she might indeed be a little bit smaller, just like the size of her sisters' chests. You can't tell if you look closely, but if you measure carefully, you'll find that she's 2cm smaller than the biggest one. That being said, the average difference between her and her sisters is only 1cm.

"There's something wrong with that Humanoid Honkai Beast."

"Kiana, aren't you overthinking this? In recent years, there have been more and more humanoid Humanoid Honkai Beast that grow randomly. The more randomly Humanoid Honkai Beast grows, the weaker its combat power. On the contrary, the Humanoid Honkai Beast Honkai Beast that evolved from the original rushing type, battle type, and warlord type are stronger."

Although Raven was unwilling to question Kiana's ideas, based on her experience in the Honkai Battlefield in recent years, the haphazardly grown Humanoid Honkai Beast were not even strong enough to be ganged up on by Valkyrie.

Of course, even if this haphazardly shaped Humanoid Honkai Beast is a pushover, the Alliance will not stop its righteous mob attack.

Freya, who has repeatedly emphasized the benefits of teamwork, would never allow Valkyrie to engage in such a dangerous one-on-one battle with Humanoid Honkai Beast.

In addition to local support forces from various countries, each Honkai battlefield is managed by a Valkyrie squad, along with regular troops and a Floating Battleship, which also carries an upgraded Honkai Energy fission bomb.

"No! The previous Humanoid Honkai Beast was just an illusion. That's right. If it were Freya, she would definitely do that. Just like we've been researching the Key of Reason for several years, but the Key of Reason was only officially used on the battlefield during this lunar conquest."

Although Kiana sometimes doesn't understand what her younger sister is saying, in her words, Freya is a wolf in sheep's clothing, Freya really likes to keep her trump cards hidden.

She felt that the enemy this time was the same. Although those Humanoid Honkai Beasts were strong, Kiana saw them as Valkyrie of Schicksal. Although they had the power to fight Honkai Beast, they were no match for the troops that Otto had secretly hidden.

542. Knowing him as I do, he will definitely prepare a formidable opponent for me.

Kiana suspects that the enemy has hidden most of its fighting force.

It is important to know that there are many man-made facilities in the world that can shield against detection of Honkai Energy, and the ocean itself has the function of shielding Honkai Energy reactions.

If one illogical situation is merely a coincidence, two illogical situations are still considered a coincidence. But the current series of events, coupled with Kiana's instinctive warnings of danger, lead her to strongly suspect that the enemy driving everything behind the scenes is related to the Honkai Consciousness.

"Shiola, kill as many Humanoid Honkai Beast as possible..."

"Yes, Kiana."

Shiola immediately took out her auxiliary equipment and loaded it onto the Third Divine Key. After all, given the power of the Third Divine Key, such immense power naturally comes at a price.

When the Third Divine Key is activated, a large amount of energy will leak out, causing burns and electric shocks to its user and temporarily damaging the Divine Key itself.

The Third Divine Key can decompose and vaporize objects at the atomic and particle level, so it cannot be used as a conventional weapon. The so-called auxiliary equipment is the conventional long-range combat weapon of Shiola. In her hands, the Third Divine Key is more like a charging device.

Raven assembled a heavy sniper rifle similar to the Barrett using the Third Divine Key and auxiliary equipment, and then carried this weapon, whose power was no different from that of a sniper cannon, back to the previous reconnaissance high ground.

Just as the Raven left, Kevin, who had been following the enemy, returned.

"Master Kevin... how is he?"

Kiana asked immediately.

Although he and Raven were scouting the movements of the allied forces, their scouting directions differed.

Kevin shook his head slightly, his expression not looking too good.

Of course, his face always looked so pale, as if he were in some unspeakable pain.

Kiana didn't dare use the phrase "bitter and resentful" to describe Kevin's expression, after all, when she first heard the word from her sister, the teasing look on her sister's face was just too obvious.

"After I infiltrated, I discovered that the enemy's communications were also being interfered with, and they were also unable to contact their superiors."

"Master Kevin, about this..."

Kiana quickly voiced her guess.

After listening to Kiana's guess, Kevin thought about it carefully and nodded.

"Your guess is correct. The Honkai Consciousness of this world is not quite right. Our previous suspicions were too cautious. No, I should say that my companions and I underestimated that guy."

"In other words, Freya's suspicions were correct. It's a pity that if she had been bolder, we could have used her as a hypothetical enemy to prepare for defense. Who would have thought that Honkai Consciousness could assimilate human thought..."

Kiana immediately wanted to cover her head and utter some Valkyrie swear words.

"No, I think it's more likely that the guy's mind assimilated the Honkai Consciousness."

Now that things have come to this, Kevin feels he should be bolder in his assumptions.

After all, when they were discussing this matter, he and Freya only felt that the Honkai Consciousness of this world was different from that of the Honkai Consciousness of the other world, but it was only a few minor differences. These differences were not uncommon in the parallel worlds observed by SU.

Or rather, this slight difference in detail can only be considered a reasonable margin of error.

Freya once likened each civilization to a product made by the Imaginary Tree, and the Honkai Consciousness to the quality inspector of these products. It naturally has the right to demand that substandard products be remade, but different worlds may have different standards for whether a product is qualified or not, which is the so-called error value.

This is similar to three sisters wearing the same cup size bra, but their actual bust measurements differ by about 1 cm.

The behavior of the Honkai Consciousness in this world so far has been within a reasonable margin of error.

This makes it impossible for them to boldly assume such an even more impossible thing, even if they have doubts.

If it's reasonable for the Honkai Consciousness from different worlds to have a margin of error, then assimilating Honkai Consciousness with the will of mortals makes absolutely no sense.

Even Kevin couldn't believe such a thing could happen.

Kevin knew Kiana was filled with regret, so he explained.

"In fact, if the league really prepares to guard against FU, it will only be more disastrously screwed over by him... You can think of him as an upgraded version of Otto, whose ability to screw over people is doubled."

Although SU and FU grew up together, Kevin has more to say about FU's shady dealings than SU, since he was originally one of the victims.

When FU starts using tricks on you, if you take it seriously, you'll lose; if you don't take it seriously, you'll lose too.

Of course, if FU had the guts to fight him one-on-one, Kevin could easily beat him even with FU having only one hand and one foot.

"An enhanced version of Bishop Otto?"

To be honest, Kiana didn't like Otto Apocalypse, and hearing his name from Kevin still instinctively made her feel a little disgusted.

As Otto argued, his persecution of himself was not so severe as to be a fight to the death.

In the end, Cecilia died in the battle with the Second Herrscher, and after her death, Otto spared no effort in preserving her reputation. As for Siegfried, Otto's actions could only be considered an attempt, and he then stopped persecuting Siegfried. However, Siegfried himself was unwilling to continue to believe in Schicksal, so he chose to leave. It was Otto's forced retention of Kiana that led to Siegfried's formal break with Schicksal.

As for Otto's persecution of Kiana, he would not make any excuses. After all, the experiments Kiana experienced were Valkyrie's play compared to those Cecilia experienced and those experienced by other Valkyries who volunteered to be test subjects. Those experiments were very normal in the Schicksal.

In Otto's view, the problem lies with other people's worldviews. People like Siegfried, who are deeply influenced by common sense, simply cannot understand the mission of the Schicksal.

Of course, Otto does not deny that he only used the Schicksal as a tool, but he did indeed enable the Schicksal to complete its mission.

In a world where one wrong step leads to annihilation, Otto felt that talking about human rights was a waste of all human time and life, and also an obstacle to his plan to resurrect Kallen.

Moreover, because of his experiment, Kiana gained two younger sisters, Freya and Aurora, which is a good thing in terms of the outcome. If anyone can deny the significance of Freya and Aurora's existence, Otto doesn't mind admitting his mistake at all.

Kiana can understand Otto's excuses and his obsessive behavior towards Kallen, but that doesn't mean she's willing to forgive this bastard.

In Freya's words, if Otto were to be convicted, no country in the world could possibly judge this bastard, because his merits outweigh all his flaws.

Even those stains are part of his achievements.

Moreover, some of the cruel human experiments were blamed on Otto by other researchers, so it can't all be attributed to Otto alone.
