Chapter 467

Freya learned from Theresa of this world the beginning and Finality of this civilization's demise.

In this world, Siegfried sacrificed his own life to suppress Kiana's Herrscher Transformation, which is why he didn't stay with Kiana.

He died. In order to prevent Kiana from knowing about it and to avoid making her feel guilty, Siegfried left alone after desperately stopping Kiana's rampage.

Kiana then embarked on a journey to find her father while evading the pursuit of the Schicksal.

He probably never imagined that the truth about his death would become the trigger for Kiana's emotional breakdown.

Freya lamented the misfortune of Kiana in this world and pondered how to reverse her Herrscher state.

"Anyway, I've already caught an Aurora Two from another parallel world to raise as my little sister, so it doesn't seem like there's any problem catching another Kiana Two, or rather Kiana Three to raise as well."

Of course, Freya will give her a nice nickname when the time comes. After all, even Aurora Two has a nickname like Kiki, so how could Freya treat her differently?

However, Freya doesn't have time to consider how to reverse Kiana's situation in this world right now. She needs to find Penglai Si Jiuxiao immediately so that she can return to her original world as soon as possible.

She always felt that there was something wrong with the actions of the Honkai Consciousness.

To be precise, her treatment was too arbitrary, as if it were merely a means to exclude her.

Freya felt that the other person was hiding something, perhaps something they didn't want her to know.

Freya subconsciously followed this line of reasoning, after all, the unexpected calculations of the Honkai Consciousness finally gave Freya confidence in determining the other party's current state.

Now that Freya is certain of the other party's identity, it is only 'a bit difficult' to deduce the other party's complete plan by following their line of thought, rather than being completely baffled as at the beginning.

"Seriously, is it really possible? To assimilate the will of the Honkai with the will of a mortal..."

Even Freya didn't think such a reality could happen.

Even the idealistic power she firmly believes in currently only has two abilities: creating things and rewriting reality. Of course, Freya is unaware that Fu Hua created a will attribute called invincible. She only knows that Fu Hua broke the boundaries of will and believes that Fu Hua should have a similar will power to Kevin.

While the Warrior class's Willpower is said to rewrite reality, in reality it simply means adding willpower to one's own attack and defense, allowing one's attack to break through defenses that were originally unbreakable, and allowing one's defense to block attacks that were originally unstoppable.

Simply put, it's similar to the idea of "wish fulfillment".

In reality, Fu Hua's willpower is more inclined towards the so-called indestructible.

It does not affect reality, so it cannot distort reality, cannot create something out of nothing like Freya, nor can it make wishes come true like Kevin.

Its ability is simple: to ensure that Fu Hua's will is never defeated in any contest.

In fact, the Honkai Consciousness of a single world is no match for Fu Hua, but the Honkai Consciousness's goal has never been to defeat Fu Hua, but to trap her consciousness and then control her body.

That's why Fu Hua chose to break her own will.

An invincible will that is unbreakable is the strongest shield, but at the same time, it is also the strongest spear, possessing indestructible power.

In short, Fu Hua used a "using her own spear to attack her own shield" tactic, successfully confusing the Honkai Consciousness and breaking free from its control. However, the Honkai Consciousness's plan still succeeded.

Although Freya did not know Fu Hua's will attribute, she firmly believed in Fu Hua's victory. It was because of this that she suddenly realized that Fu Hua's coma might be a reminder to her. However, before Fu Hua woke up, she had entered the dream world of Penglai Si Jiuxiao and was eventually trapped in this world.

"That's right. If we start reasoning from here, it means that the Honkai Consciousness absolutely cannot let me see its next actions. Once I know Honkai Consciousness is trying to hide, I can immediately find a countermeasure, or rather, thwart its plans. That's why the Honkai Consciousness chose to isolate me."

But the next second, Freya immediately overturned her own speculation.

"No, if I can disrupt their plans, then the way they trap me shouldn't be like this. If I encounter a harmful factor that could disrupt their plans, I will do everything in my power to eliminate them, rather than this half-hearted isolation."

Freya is a clone created using Kiana's DNA and the DNA of the Second Herrscher, Sirin. She possesses the Second Herrscher's genes and is also a backup vessel for the Herrscher of Finality, which means that the parallel world can only confine her for a short time.

"To the Honkai Consciousness, I am not a harmful factor, but an unstable factor. At least I can come up with countermeasures and find the right person to sabotage its plans. Yes, that's the right way to reason."

Theresa, sitting to the side, was staring wide-eyed, clearly curious about Freya's strange mutterings.

However, Freya felt that her reasoning was correct, and as she continued to reason, she opened her mouth wide as if she had guessed something.

"It can't be... How is this possible? No, even something as impossible as the will of a mortal assimilating into Honkai will has happened, so nothing is impossible anymore."

Freya was, after all, the reincarnation of the other, even if she was just a so-called remnant, she was indeed a part of him. To some extent, she and he had similar ways of thinking, and most importantly, they both possessed 'knowledge of another world'.

"Mortals die, Honkai is eternal..."

The Honkai Consciousness underestimated its own soul remains. In fact, Freya didn't need to see those people who were resurrected in new forms. She deduced the so-called truth simply by observing the incongruity of the Honkai Consciousness's actions and by gradually speculating on its own treatment.

Of course, this is not a miracle, nor is it due to any mysterious power, because Freya had a similar plan before, and even another parallel world launched an operation. It's just that the technology required to complete a similar plan is too advanced.

Freya researched the Consciousness World in a parallel world, which can store everyone's consciousness. Then, everyone's consciousness can control their physical body in reality through a virtual personality. Even if the physical body in reality is destroyed, it will not cause damage to the consciousness in the Consciousness World. In a sense, it can be said that everyone has gained the ability to live forever.

However, reality is far harsher than ideals. Even though Freya created a world of consciousness and built a utopian world that was almost entirely layered, the struggles between people did not diminish.

Moreover, the physical body in reality is very fragile. People who enter the world of consciousness are free from illness and disaster, and many are unwilling to return to their original bodies. This also leads to Freya controlling the physical bodies in reality.

This resulted in Freya exhausting almost all of her computing power just to maintain the consciousness of those people and manipulate hundreds of millions of bodies in reality.

Then, she broke down her plan, separating the experiment in the world of consciousness and studying the Key of Reason and the Quantum Phantom at the same time.

She believed that her initial plan had taken too big a step, which led to various problems. After returning to the Alliance, she decided to scale down the plan and limit its targets to the Alliance's elite warriors, rather than all humans.

This led to the Quantum Phantom System and control cabin that are now in actual combat.

The Freya Project failed because of human nature. If she had truly relied on manipulating everyone's minds to carry out the plan, it would have ultimately failed.

The Honkai Consciousness's plan can be seen as Honkai version of this, or rather, only the Honkai Consciousness of the original world can succeed.

The Humanoid Honkai Beast it creates are containers, and then it is necessary to load souls or memories into the bodies of the Humanoid Honkai Beast, which can be considered as an alternative way to revive humans.

This is why Freya unconsciously murmured, "Humanity will perish, Honkai on forever."

The goal of the Honkai Consciousness is indeed to let Freya see those who have been resurrected so that she can immediately discover the truth, because she has tried before, but failed due to insufficient human nature and technology.

"Um, Freya, what are you talking about?"

"I was thinking about the original world. Kevin must be in big trouble. If my guess is right, the other side should have a base to carry out this plan. The first place to fall would be the enemy's headquarters. And the only person in the alliance who can directly attack that headquarters is Kevin."

Although Freya wanted to boast that she was on par with Kevin in terms of fighting strength, they were indeed equal only in terms of Kevin power. In a real fight, her combat experience and skills were still no match for Kevin's. Of course, she was still the ultimate victor.

But when it comes to disrupting the plan to Honkai Consciousness, the impulsive Kevin is more suitable than anyone else.

That's why Freya could almost foresee the situation Kevin would face.

"I wonder if reuniting with Mei brought him joy. Probably not, since all Humanoid Honkai Beast are controlled by Honkai Consciousness. Theresa, I'm sorry, I might really be in a hurry. I need to see Penglai Si Jiuxiao as soon as possible, and I must return to my original world as soon as possible."

Freya couldn't sit comfortably on the bench any longer. Although she was having a pleasant chat with Theresa in this world, after unconsciously following her train of thought and deducing the intentions of the Honkai Consciousness, she felt that her original world might be doomed.

Yes, especially if Kevin might fall into a trap.

In fact, Freya had almost guessed the first half of the Honkai Consciousness's entire plan.

Kevin heard the words "Mortals will die, but the Honkai live forever" from Himeko, and Mei, who appeared in front of him, explained the intentions of the Honkai Consciousness.

That was a more complete plan than Freya's guess.

Of course, before explaining, Mei first teamed up with Himeko to beat up Kevin, who offered no resistance whatsoever.

Although Mei wasn't a warrior, the physical body she now possessed was quite powerful.

"Kevin, give up resisting. If you give up resisting, we will guarantee the safety of everyone in the 'Alliance'."

"Safety? Isn't your goal to kill all of humanity?"

Kevin actually wanted to ask, 'I don't think I offered any resistance at all,' but for now, he hoped to get more information from Mei.

Only in this way can it be considered that he did not betray the trust of his comrades. He did not surrender immediately because of Mei's appearance, nor did he lose his will to fight because of Mei's appearance.

But Kevin didn't realize that after Mei appeared, their time flow became disconnected from the surrounding time flow. The setting sun in the distance sank at a very fast speed, the sky darkened rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was full of stars.

Kevin's attention was already drawn to Mei and the truth she was telling him.

Even though he himself believed that he had not betrayed his comrades' trust, his 'comrades' knew his character all too well.

Himeko's appearance was meant to distract him from his excess attention, or rather, to make him focus his remaining attention on Mei.

Himeko is very strong because she is the only Humanoid Honkai Beast who can fight against Kevin.

Of course, it wasn't that Himeko's strength was close to Kevin's, but rather that her very presence as Kevin's adversary was enough to shake Kevin fighting spirit. Mei's appearance completely negated Kevin's will to fight.

Kevin wasn't as indifferent as he claimed.

Most importantly, Kevin currently lacks a clear goal, or rather, he has lost his reason to continue fighting.

Mei's return to normalcy and her detailed plan are constantly eroding Kevin's belief in fighting the Honkai to this day.

"Although FU's goal is indeed all of humanity, you and Freya will not agree to it. Even if I wish you could stay with me, you would never be willing to die for me, after all, you have already worked hard to live until now for 'me'."

"..."

During the process of explaining the complete plan for the Honkai Consciousness, Mei hoped that Kevin could die so that they could be together again and fight side by side as before, and this time without a hated superior.

Well, it seems that the current superior has Honkai Consciousness with a terrible personality, or rather, although he is still an annoying superior, a friend with a detestable personality is more trustworthy than a power-hungry person who is blinded by greed.

At least Kevin could entrust his back to that jerk of a friend, but he wouldn't dare entrust his back to the other members of the Fire Moth.

Because he could hardly guarantee that his comrades would not be bribed by those in power, and he had experienced similar situations many times.

However, if he dies, FU will revive him and resurrect him as Humanoid Honkai Beast.

Seeing Mei's expectant expression, Kevin's movements became even slower, and he was kicked without hesitation by Himeko.

"Himeko, are you trying to kill me?"

Kevin, who had jumped back before being kicked, had almost dissipated all the force and instinctively questioned Himeko, who had ambushed him.

He himself didn't know when it started, but he no longer regarded the two people in front of him as enemies.

Although the two people in front of him were really ruthless and vicious, they both seemed to want to end his life immediately.

"Of course, after all, you can't make the decision. We only have one Lady Mei on our side, while Lady SU and the lovely Saintess Lord are two different people. Besides, with that Saintess Lord's eloquence, she will definitely be able to persuade you."

"..."

Kevin couldn't refute Himeko's words; in fact, he did waver when Mei wanted him dead.

He witnessed a man in the league who was determined to die, only to find that he was no different from that person. But in the end, he chose to follow Mei's wishes and live on.

If Mei wanted him dead, he would gladly accept such an ending, since there was nowhere in the world worth staying for, and besides, these losers didn't belong to this era.

547. I think I just saw a larger version of myself.

Freya, trapped in a parallel world, has met Penglai Si Jiuxiao of that world, but she still hasn't been able to return to her original world.

"... That's true. If I could return so easily, the Honkai Consciousness wouldn't have trapped me in this place."

Freya, who vaguely guessed the current situation, could only feel anxious and helpless. She wouldn't waste time regretting such a time-wasting act.

Even so, Freya still couldn't think of a solution.

Meanwhile, in the original world, Tesla in the Alliance was about to pluck out his beautiful head of hair.

Even if she managed to create a device to counteract interference waves in just a few minutes, it could only maintain normal communication in the Changkong City area.

Of course, no one can blame Tesla. Just by creating a device to counter interference waves, he almost rendered most of the interference-type Honkai Beast useless.

Tesla was not good at commanding troops, so she would not blindly command this war. As one of the top researchers of the era, she would contribute to this war in her own way.

"SU, I'm leaving the command to you. I'll try to contact the people on the moon. If that doesn't work, we'll have to use the backup plan."

"Tesla, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'll send out my precious mech to buy some time. Einstein and I will find a way to help the warriors who are fighting."

Although SU was the person in charge of this lunar campaign stationed in Changkong City, he understood that because of his credibility, the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior in the Alliance were more willing to follow Tesla's command.

And all of this was after Tesla himself announced that he would command the operation, so SU no longer needed to worry about the soldiers in the battle not following orders.

He immediately gave orders to the Artificial Herrscher team. When communications within Changkong City were reconnected, SU felt from the bottom of his heart that Tesla was the greatest inventor of this era.

"Artificial Herrscher team, please respond. Please respond. Mei, Raiden Mei, can you hear me? Whoever you see, it may not be a real person."

When communications in Changkong City were also disrupted, the screen in the command and control room went completely dark, losing the view of the battlefield ahead. However, before the surveillance footage disappeared, Tesla and SU noticed Mei's performance and the woman who suddenly appeared who looked just like Mei.

SU initially thought Mei's enemy was Mei, but then realized that if Mei were to be resurrected in that form, she would only appear in front of Kevin.

Thinking of the gossip within the alliance about Raiden Ryoma and Cocolia, SU quickly remembered Mei's background. Clearly, the enemy appearing before her was modeled after her deceased mother.

SU wanted to cheer Mei up immediately. At this moment, the monitoring screen in front of them was gradually restored with the help of the device made by Tesla to counter interference waves. Although the monitoring screen only showed the situation around Changkong City, it provided considerable help for the subsequent command and operation.

That being said, the battle situation shown on the monitoring screen at this time was indeed unsatisfactory.

After the new Humanoid Honkai Beast joined the battlefield, the Alliance's fighting spirit continued to decline.

Of course, these humanoid Humanoid Honkai Beast with the familiar appearance of Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior are not strong. It is clear that when the Honkai Consciousness created them, it only focused on recognizability. The bodies below the neck, which are covered by armor, are still the unique sturdy outer skin of Honkai Beast.
