Chapter 466

Surrounded by a group of Humanoid Honkai Beast, two familiar figures stood on the protruding boulder in front of Fu Hua, looking down at her from above.

"Is it you?"

"We're here too, Master."

"Long time no see."

"I'm sorry, Master."

"..."

"Master, seeing you in good health is better than anything else."

If the appearance of these two people surprised Fu Hua but not astonished her, the seven more familiar figures that followed made her mouth drop open involuntarily.

Those were the seven disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect's 'True Immortal Red Kite' who were known as the 'Tai Xu Seven Swords'.

The Taixu Sword Sect was founded by the Immortal Red Kite and was considered the supreme martial arts sect at the time. Of course, Fu Hua did not have a penchant for role-playing. Although from a modern perspective, her past experiences, such as Fu Ermos True Immortal Red Kite, seemed like role-playing, her actions were simply to fulfill her mission as a pioneer of Previous Civilization.

The Tai Xu Seven Swords consist of six women and one man. Apart from Ma Feima, the parents of the other six disciples all suffered from qi deviation and transformed into demons, which were eliminated by Crimson Heron.

In short, he was turned into Deadman due to Honkai Energy and was eventually destroyed by Fu Hua.

"Master, it's been a long time. It seems my sacrifice was not in vain."

If the appearance of the 'Tai Xu Seven Swords' had already shaken Fu Hua's heart, then the appearance of that familiar figure at the end caused Fu Hua's fighting spirit to vanish instantly.

"... Stand... in the snow?"

Fu Hua's face was filled with astonishment. She had adopted Fu Lixue, who was cloned from the other's genes, and the girl with the familiar face in front of her was the last disciple in her life, who had sacrificed herself in the Second Eruption to protect her.

"No, it's impossible..."

However, apart from the two Herrscher created by their own id and superego, the Tai Xu Seven Swords and Cheng Lixue were all wearing a complete set of black armor, which was covered with purple vertical stripes of Honkai Energy.

Fu Hua was unaware that Kevin had experienced the same ordeal. Now, she had neither the will to fight nor any comrades to fight alongside her. Surrounded by a large number of enemies, she was in a predicament.

This scene also occurred on other continents. The current civilization's sequence was occupied by Freya with Artificial Herrscher, but the Herrscher of the Previous Civilization could still connect with the powers. Kevin was attacked by the Flame Herrscher and the Lightning Herrscher, Fu Hua was surrounded by two Herrscher, Consciousness and Domination, along with a group of disciples.

Meanwhile, in Changkong City, the Artificial Herrscher, the Quantized Valkyrie, and a group of Herrscher-style Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior had just defeated the attack of the Humanoid Honkai Beast and a large group of Honkai Beast, but were defeated again by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

Especially the mature-looking woman who appeared in front of Mei, who looked seven-tenths like Mei, made Mei lose her will to fight just by her appearance.

545. Right now, it's the countdown to destruction.

For Mei, the mature-looking woman in front of her was the strongest enemy. The woman's gentle smile alone was enough to make Mei lose her will to fight, and her gentle call made Mei kneel on the ground.

"Mom, Mom... Mom..."

The deceased mother appears in black armor covered in purple patterns, and after Mei loses her will to fight, the Artificial Herrscher team is constantly attacked by powerful enemies.

Many humanoid creatures clad in full-body black armor blocked their way. Of course, many of them were not powerful, at most only comparable to the normal level of the Herrscher-style Valkyrie and the Fusion Warrior.

However, the voices and tones of these enemies easily shattered the fighting spirit of the Artificial Herrscher team and most of the Valkyrie.

"This... how is this possible?!"

"What on earth happened?!"

At this moment, not only Tesla was shocked, but even SU had never seen such a scene in the parallel world he had observed.

After all, only the Honkai Consciousness of this world would try to exploit the Honkai in the rules of Honkai and the Imaginary Tree.

Of course, if Freya saw this scene, she would definitely give the current Honkai Consciousness a 'friendly' greeting. "You fucking copied this so badly! Great Serpent, fucking filthy reincarnation!!"

Then, she will discover the other party's complete plan immediately.

Yes, if Freya were still in this world, she would know FU's purpose as soon as she saw what was happening before her.

However, Freya was trapped in another parallel world due to the other party's scheming.

Freya finally found the 'survivors' of this parallel world after much effort. Freya didn't expect that they were living in the ruins of an underground shelter, but their way of welcoming her was a little too enthusiastic.

"Why are you here! Kiana!!"

The girl who questioned Freya was Bronya, who was about the same age as the Bronya Freya knew. This led Freya to conclude that the timeline of this parallel world should be close to her original world, which was 2017.

That being said, the Bronya in this world is armed with an automatic rifle and is filled with hostility towards her.

"How should I answer your question? First of all, I am not the Kiana Kaslana you know."

Freya replied with a smile.

Judging from Bronya's attitude and the behavior of the other survivors hiding behind the bunker, the Kiana they were talking about must be the one who became the Herrscher of Finality.

Freya ignored the survivors hiding behind the shelter formed by the collapsed corner of the shelter and focused her gaze on the dazed white-haired girl behind Bronya.

She never expected to meet Theresa Apocalypse in this parallel world.

"Is... is that Kiana?"

"I'm sorry, Theresa, I'm not the Kiana you know. If you want to ask about the Kiana who became the Herrscher, I regret to inform you that she is trapped in the Distorted Space."

Freya was happy to encounter familiar people. She didn't care about the other survivors pointing guns at her head. From their perspective, it was normal for them to be wary of her because she had the same appearance as Kiana.

From their perspective, the world has fallen to this state because Kiana became Herrscher, and Freya has an almost identical appearance to Kiana in this world. They suspect that Freya and Kiana must be related. On one hand, they hope that Freya can take responsibility for this, and on the other hand, they hope that Freya can get out of here as soon as possible.

Of course, if Freya knew what they were thinking, she would definitely laugh loudly at the survivors' foolishness.

Freya believes that most tragedies stem from the incompetence of those involved, and instead of constantly complaining, it's better to start making changes from small things.

As for those who are born unfortunate, Freya is more inclined to lend a helping hand to those who are positive, optimistic, and have never given up on living.

Freya secretly takes in mostly disabled or seriously ill people who are strong-willed. Because of this, they are more likely to push the boundaries of their will than most Valkyrie in the Alliance.

Even though several people died in Freya's experiments, no one blamed Freya. To them, whether it was gaining legs and arms or escaping the state of being confined to bed, it was a miracle bestowed upon them by Freya.

Even those who are born into injustice have never been so blind to reality, yet the survivors are far too foolish.

If Freya could know their thoughts, that would indeed be the case—in fact, Freya could indeed know their thoughts.

For Freya, who possesses the power of the Herrscher of Consciousness, it is not difficult to sense the thoughts of the survivors, but she had long anticipated what these survivors would think.

Freya did not blame them, and even abandoned the idea of laughing at them loudly.

Her gaze remained fixed on Theresa in this world from beginning to end.

Freya felt a deep sadness, self-blame, profound regret, and humility from this familiar person due to the Herrscher of Consciousness's abilities.

Freya found it hard to believe that she could feel so much negative emotion from this familiar person.

Seeing Theresa's smile, Freya's heart trembled involuntarily.

Since she didn't believe she could save everyone, but at this moment, she wanted to save the girl in front of her who was overwhelmed by too much pain, her already petite shoulders couldn't bear too much burden.

"Theresa, you..."

"Don't move!!"

Seeing Freya take a step forward, Bronya shouted nervously, raising her automatic rifle and aiming it at Freya's head. The survivors hidden behind cover were so frightened by Freya's action that they pulled the trigger.

The bullets fired from the survivors' guns all stopped about a meter away from Freya.

The guns in the hands of ordinary people might cause some trouble for ordinary Honkai Beast, while skilled gunmen can at most kill one or two ordinary Honkai Beast. The survivors carry guns more to comfort themselves than to fight against Honkai Beast.

Freya could withstand the attacks from ordinary firearms in the hands of survivors with her own body, but to avoid provoking the survivors in the shelter, she stopped the bullets using other methods.

For Freya, there were far too many ways to stop the bullets fired by a weapon that couldn't even utilize Honkai Energy.

"... Monster!"

"Run... it's Herrscher!"

"Run! Run!!"

However, the survivors were still terrified, and Freya was somewhat disturbed by their cries, which resembled the howls of animals on the verge of death.

Bronya, holding an automatic rifle and looking tense, reminded Freya and the other survivors of their predicament.

Freya sighed softly, realizing that she had been too demanding of these survivors.

Some things can no longer be solved simply by whether or not one has the ability.

There was no sunlight outside the shelter. Even during the day, the sky was always overcast, like a storm was about to break. The air was filled with Honkai particles that were not friendly to humans. Large numbers of Deadman and Honkai Beast roamed the ruins of the world.

If Freya's original world was still in the stage of resistance, that is, the early stage of the end of civilization, then the current world is more or less in the late stage of the end of civilization, with only a large amount of wasteland and a few survivors left.

For Freya's original world, even if the Honkai's offensive were dozens of times more intense, they would not have reached the point of despair. This was due to the Alliance's powerful strength, which brought them a high margin of error, allowing them to still have room to make choices when facing various difficulties.

Even if this battle fails and the Honkai launches a furious counterattack, the Alliance can choose to retreat to another parallel world.

But the world no longer has that chance.

Not only are the number of surviving humans extremely small, but even those who do survive are immersed in despair day after day. They cannot see any future where humanity can defeat the Herrscher, nor can they see humanity destroying all the Honkai Beast and reclaiming their homeland.

They weren't even capable of taking revenge on the Honkai Beast; all they could do was hide in the shelter, trembling with fear, and constantly put pressure on Bronya.

In Freya's eyes, Bronya, who was holding an automatic rifle and guarding her, was about to be crushed by the immense pressure on her shoulders.

But the Theresa of this world has long been crushed.

Freya guessed that she must have made the most painful choice. Perhaps, she chose to run away when everyone needed her. This choice made her feel regretful and blamed herself for a long time.

"It seems you've been through a lot. I can give you some time to sort things out. Don't worry, I won't do anything or leave here. I just want to understand the situation from you... If you'd like, I don't mind listening to your experiences."

At this point, Freya took two steps back and waved her hand, using the pebbles on the ground to create a bench that looked like it would be very uncomfortable to sit on.

Freya's open and generous behavior helped to quell the panic, and Bronya finally had time to comfort the terrified survivors.

Although Bronya was surprised by Freya's behavior, she was indeed grateful for Freya's understanding.

The survivors in the shelter could no longer endure the pain. Every few days, a companion would die from Honkai Sickness or be killed by Honkai Beast while searching for supplies. Whenever a familiar name was among the bad news, the survivors could only feel grief and despair.

Freya tried her best to be kind so as not to upset the survivors who were already exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Although she was anxious to find Penglai Si Jiuxiao and longed to get information from Bronya, she was not stingy with a little bit of leniency.

In my younger sister's words, if you put yourself in someone else's shoes and feel their pain, you might understand why they made that choice. If you're more tolerant of others, you can even build friendships with those who were once your enemies.

In her younger sister's eyes, everyone can be friends. Even the worst people can become friends as long as they are more tolerant of each other.

To be honest, Freya felt that her little sister was a bit naive and as sweet as chocolate, but she always adhered to this belief and did make many good friends, including Xing, who had a bad personality, and Fu Lixue, who was not good at communicating.

In fact, there is a list of the most desirable wives within the league, Aurora is at the top of the list.

Freya sat on the uncomfortable bench, watching Theresa slowly approach, and subconsciously activated her Herrscher of Consciousness ability to soothe the pain in her heart.

Although Theresa's inner pain could not be completely healed by the power of the Herrscher of Consciousness alone, it did bring a slight smile of relief to that heartbreaking face.

Hello... Could you tell me your name?

Perhaps it was because Freya showed no malice that the girl, who had been tightly gripping a golden spear, walked up to her without any suspicion.

Freya's gaze lingered for a moment on the golden spear that was about to be destroyed; she recognized it as part of the Judas' Oath, the Divine Key.

"My name is Aurora, Aurora Schariac. Of course, I also have another name, Kiana Apocalypse. I come from another world. In that world, I am your sister. Well, like you, I was adopted by Bishop Otto."

At this point, Freya paused suddenly, unaware of the relationship between Bishop Otto and Theresa in this world.

After all, according to the parallel worlds observed by SU, there are several parallel worlds in which Otto did indeed have a daughter with Kallen, and it's possible that Theresa in this world is Bishop Otto's biological daughter.

However, Theresa's answer quickly cleared up her doubts.

"So you were also adopted by Grandpa? You said you came from another world, what is that other world like?"

Clearly, in this world, Theresa and Bishop Otto still have the grandfather-granddaughter relationship without any blood ties. Worlds where Theresa was born to Kallen are extremely rare; perhaps only one in a thousand parallel worlds exists.

Perhaps Freya's self-introduction dispelled the last barrier, Theresa chose to sit on the bench that had clearly been left empty for her, even though the bench made of gravel was a bit uncomfortable.

Theresa, who had just sat down, asked curiously about other things in her original world, such as how Bishop Otto was doing now, whether Cecilia and Siegfried were still alive, and whether Mei had become Herrscher, and so on.

As Freya answered, she also asked Theresa what had happened in this world. Although Theresa was somewhat resistant at first, she eventually relented and slowly told Freya about the hardships and joys of this world.

This world is incredibly unfortunate. Young Kiana was captured by the Schicksal to undergo experiments fusing Sirin's factor. Not long after Siegfried took Kiana away from Schicksal, he sacrificed himself because Kiana awakened as Herrscher. This truth was revealed by Cocolia when the Anti-Entropy organization attacked St. Freya Academy. Kiana's emotions collapsed, Honkai Energy within her erupted uncontrollably. In addition, she was affected by the Second Herrscher Core and Herrscher of Finality, ultimately leading to the Great Honkai. The world's vitality was cut off in this Honkai, and it was inevitably destroyed.

Right now, we're on the countdown to destruction.

546. Mortals all die, Honkai eternal life.

This civilization is about to end—
