Chapter 470
"You have more important things to do."
Cecilia's gentle voice was like a spring breeze as she opened her arms to Kiana and gently embraced the crying child.
Kiana, who had been crying, immediately changed to someone else to confide in.
"Waaaaah, Mommy, waaaaah, Cecilia Mommy..."
"Mom Cecilia, please take Kiana to the next room first. Dad, you can go too."
Freya noticed Siegfried's uneasy state and immediately made arrangements for him.
With her orders, Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the Alliance was short-handed, but he was really worried about the fragile Kiana.
Or perhaps it's because her daughter had always appeared too strong, so, like a tower with the bottom layer removed, it completely collapsed.
Freya could only let out a heavy sigh.
Kiana's situation can be simply described as 'I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.' If it weren't for her attachment and Kiana's pleas, her remaining consciousness would have given up on obtaining a physical body.
But she eventually accepted the cloned body and has been with Kiana as her mother ever since.
Freya never expected that this incident would become Kiana's Achilles' heel, making her so vulnerable when the real Cecilia appeared before Kiana.
In fact, Freya's heart leans more towards the remaining consciousness, so when she meets the real Cecilia, she doesn't feel guilty or have other negative emotions.
In Kiana's heart, she felt guilty for mistaking her remaining consciousness for her mother and forgetting her real mother, but she also felt intense remorse for having such thoughts.
She regarded her remaining consciousness as her mother, but she never forgot her real mother. It was because of this that Kiana would not have had an emotional breakdown if she had not encountered the real Cecilia.
Kiana felt guilty not only about her mother, but also about her mother's remaining consciousness.
After Kiana left the ward, Freya took a deep breath.
"Listen to me, the Honkai Consciousness has been planning this operation for several years, possibly even more than a decade..."
Kevin, Aurora, Shiola in the ward, and SU, Tesla, and others on the other side of the communication screen listened attentively.
As for the staff who participated in the previous aerial battle, they have been teleported to the airport area by Aurora in the future.
SU adjusted the volume of his receiver. It was clear that what Freya was about to say was somewhat shocking and not suitable for too many people to know, but SU could not leave the operations command room.
Freya adjusted her thoughts slightly. After seeing Mei and Cecilia with her own eyes, she became even more certain of the true purpose of the Honkai Consciousness.
"I don't know if Kevin, you heard the other side's real plan from Mei..."
"Have."
"Don't say anything yet. I roughly know that, simply put, the Honkai Consciousness has only one goal: to replace human civilization with Honkai Civilization."
Tesla and the others were surprised to hear Freya's words, but Kevin's silence confirmed that Freya's prediction was correct.
"The new Humanoid Honkai Beast should be a new type of Honkai Life mixed with human DNA. Such Honkai Life are actually no different from Valkyrie, Fusion Warrior, and current Alliance members, except that the proportion of Honkai Beast factors and human factors in our bodies is different."
"You should remember the experiments I conducted in the parallel world, especially SU, who should remember them very clearly, since you were the one who tricked me into going there."
"..."
SU on the other end of the communication remained silent, so Freya continued.
"The main experiments I conducted in the parallel world were in the world of consciousness. The first purpose was to create a world of consciousness that Honkai Energy to erode, and the second purpose was to use the world of consciousness to contain all human consciousness and create a path to the immortality of consciousness... As you know, as long as consciousness exists in the world of consciousness, it can avoid being eroded by Honkai Energy. As long as you control the body in the real world from the world of consciousness, it is just like a player controlling a game character. Even if the body in the real world is destroyed, the consciousness existing in the world of consciousness will not be damaged in any way."
"The Quantum Phantom System is a byproduct of this research. The world of consciousness eventually escapes my control, and the human heart is something I cannot completely grasp. The Honkai Consciousness should do something similar. It should also have a 'world of consciousness' to contain consciousness, and then possess bodies that can be continuously mass-produced into clones, namely those new types of Humanoid Honkai Beast."
Freya's plan was the same as the Honkai Consciousness's, except that the Honkai Consciousness's plan was far more feasible than hers. After all, the other party was the Honkai Consciousness of this world, while Freya was just a slightly stronger individual.
"In theory, this new civilization created by the Honkai Consciousness is an enhanced version of our current human civilization. It wouldn't take much effort for it to replace us; it can mass-produce Humanoid Honkai Beast and load them with memories, allowing these new Humanoid Honkai Beast to develop their own civilization..."
Freya didn't say that what was loaded was likely a soul, and worst of all, she didn't know whether to say that the Honkai Consciousness had resurrected a Mei.
Even if the hardware and software are not compatible, Mei is still Mei.
It's important to understand that Mei is now cooperating not with the Fire Moth organization, which has been a hindrance for years, but with a super bastard who is willing to do anything and is extremely shameless.
"We must admit that we have fallen behind and have completely lost this battle. So, all we can do now is to move as many of our people as possible to the moon."
"... We're going to retreat? What about Changkong City and St. Freya Academy?"
Tesla asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
"Take everyone with you, and leave behind anything you can't move. We'll start the evacuation while Kevin and I buy you some time. Try to get Aurora, the big one here, to help; she's best suited for transporting people."
"..."
Aurora, who was being used as a mere tool, gave a bitter smile.
550. In the end, charging forward relentlessly is the most invincible and unstoppable force!
In the future Aurora suddenly realized that she had been tricked by her sister from the original timeline. In order to travel to the correct point in time, she had gone through thousands of time travels and suffered unspeakable pain, only to end up as a tool. This was quite different from the scene of turning the tide that she had imagined. No, it was far from it.
After a moment's hesitation, Aurora spoke.
"Sister Freya, I think..."
"Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think. Be a good tool, okay? When I'm done with this, I'll buy you candy."
After Freya finished her perfunctory reply to Future Aurora, she continued speaking to Kevin and the others.
"Regardless of whether FU wants to save humanity or destroy it, if he wants to create Honkai Civilization, he must first destroy the civilization on Earth. He has made many preparations for this moment, and the only thing we can do right now is to abandon Earth."
Welt opened his mouth to refute, but thinking of the encounter with Cecilia's Honkai Beast on the airship, he didn't think the Honkai Consciousness only created acquaintances of Siegfried and Kiana.
He sensed that if he persisted in fighting the Honkai on Earth, he would meet his father, his mother, and his benefactor Welt Joyce.
"Mr. Welt, there's no time to explain this to you now. Kevin and I need to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy's base. Only in this way can we buy time for the remaining humans to evacuate. How many we can save depends on your abilities. Afterward, I will teleport you to the moon. You should meet up with Mr. Ryoma first and have Bianca stabilize the city on the moon."
Freya now somewhat relieved that the core of the city on the moon was severely damaged, so she doesn't have to worry about Mei leaving any backdoor programs; otherwise, they would have had to retreat to a parallel world.
"I see."
Welt nodded without saying anything more.
Freya gave a few more casual instructions, then reached out to grab Kevin by the back of his collar. Kevin, who hadn't been on guard before, dodged Freya's misbehaving right hand this time, and glared at Freya with some annoyance.
Freya wasn't angry. Making Kevin lose face once was enough to satisfy her desire for revenge. She placed her hand on Kevin's shoulder and took him directly to the Australian continent.
At this time, the Australian continent had become a paradise for Honkai Beast. Honkai Beast from all over the world abandoned their original gathering places and came here. A large number of marine Honkai Beast underwent several transformations and became a kind of amphibious Honkai Beast.
Towers formed from countless Honkai crystal created channels connecting to the Imaginary Space, drawing massive amounts of Honkai Energy from Imaginary Space to continue reshaping the continent.
A large number of Honkai Beast transformed due to Honkai Energy, while a large number of Honkai Beast failed to transform and became nutrients in the hatching pool. The Broodmother Type absorbed Honkai Energy and laid a large number of insect eggs. These insect eggs were transported by ant-type Honkai Beast the size of calves and put into the hatching pool, where they quickly hatched into Honkai Beast.
"It's more like Honkai Beast than Zerg. I was an old StarCraft player in my past life."
Although Kevin didn't understand Freya's complaints, he had known FU for more than a year or two and was aware of FU's peculiarities.
"The Zerg are?"
"A real-time strategy game that depicts three races vying for supremacy in the universe: the Terran, descendants of Earth; the rapidly evolving Zerg, a biological swarm; and the Protoss, an ancient Protoss with advanced civilization and psychic powers."
Kevin was somewhat surprised upon hearing Freya's explanation.
"So there are games like this? You're saying Honkai Beast are Zerg?"
"Of course, if I were to represent the Honkai, I would want them all. I would train the Honkai Beast to be like the Zerg, train most of the Humanoid Honkai Beast to be like the technologically advanced Terran, and train the elite Humanoid Honkai Beast to be like the Protoss."
In fact, the Alliance is actually following a hybrid approach similar to that of the Terran and Protoss.
"So, the immediate issue is simply to sabotage their facilities?"
"This shouldn't be their first base, but rather their second base. However, the second base will determine their base of operations. Our primary objective is to destroy this continent."
"Many people will die."
Kevin understood what Freya had barely mentioned in her explanation: she hadn't told Welt the truth, because if Kevin and Freya went all out, they could sink a continent.
"I understand, but let's save as many as we can. After all, it was FU and your wife who plotted against us this time. Don't think your wife is a new creation."
Freya only glanced at the situation on the Australian continent, but she knew that the biotechnology on the Honkai side was already designed.
"Disrupt as much as possible before your wife gets back."
"I see."
Kevin descended directly from the sky and immediately activated his half-dragon transformation. The enemy he was facing was more than hundreds of millions of Honkai Beast, a number greater than Honkai Beast that attacked Changkong City. Moreover, this was not all of them.
Honkai Beast from all over the world are still heading towards this continent, and the Broodmother Type Honkai Beast are also producing more eggs.
Freya truly admired FU and Mei's boldness.
There were some things she didn't say. After all, neither FU nor Mei were the kind of people who could be easily Honkai the Honkai. Their goal was not to destroy humanity, but it wasn't to save humanity either.
Their goal is to usurp the Honkai mechanism.
FU has the guts, and Mei has the ability to realize this delusion; it's fair to say that this is the worst combination of two guys.
Frankly speaking, if these two had gotten together in the Previous Civilization era, there probably wouldn't have been any Fire Moth. Fortunately, both FU and Mei in the Previous Civilization were love-struck; one liked Himeko, and the other liked Kevin.
In a sense, Kevin saved the Previous Civilization.
Thinking of this, Freya couldn't help but shake her head with a laugh. She raised her hand and threw a calamity directly at the continent below.
The Honkai crystal tower that could immediately rise from the ground released a counter-energy wave, neutralizing Freya's nascent natural attack.
"anti-Calamity, no, I should say an anti-reality distortion interferator? As expected of you, Mei."
Freya could easily guess why Mei had found a way to control her abilities. After all, in order to experiment with Distorted Space could permanently trap the Herrscher of Finality, she had left behind a permanent Distorted Space in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area, and that Distorted Space still hadn't disappeared by now.
The failure of the natural disaster attack was also within Freya's expectations, which is why she needed someone like Kevin who was all brute force.
"In the end, charging forward like a pig is the most invincible and unsolvable force."
The power of a consciousness system comes from forces outside the system. It is the interference of external forces with events within the system that makes it seem unsolvable.
This creates the impression of being able to create something out of nothing and being omnipotent.
However, the interference of external forces in the system's internal affairs will ultimately have a 'result,' such as breaking down barriers that were originally unbreakable, or creating something that did not originally exist in this world.
Once this 'result' occurs, there is not necessarily only one way to create such a 'result'.
Simply put, there isn't just one way to get the answer.
The more complex the problem, the more ways there are likely to be to find a solution.
However, there are very few ways to find the answer to a question like '1+1=?'.
Freya's power of consciousness is to create phenomena that distort reality, and Mei can counter this by using the power within the system, even if she doesn't have power outside the system, as long as she takes precautions against this outcome.
"Those crystal towers were actually designed to counter the 'results' I created. No wonder Kevin needed Mei and Himeko to delay me, instead of just throwing me into a parallel world."
"Unfortunately, Kevin's power is even more unreasonable. So what if he has the power to prevent attacks from natural disasters?"
Freya suddenly wanted to show off a bit, so she threw the Herrscher's Spear to the ground.
Those Honkai crystal tower that suddenly rose from the ground immediately released anti- Honkai Energy anti-Honkai Energy barrier.
However, Kevin was capable of taking on a thousand men, had already charged into the Honkai Beast horde and quickly slaughtered them, soon beginning to destroy the hatching pool and the mother nest.
It's not that he didn't try to destroy the Honkai crystal tower; rather, every time he destroyed one Honkai crystal tower, a new one would rise.
Clearly, FU and Mei made ample preparations to guard against Freya's natural disaster attacks and Distorted Space, but their preparations for dealing with a certain muscle-bound idiot seemed insufficient.
No, doing more is meaningless.
Kevin also possesses powers outside the system, but his willpower simply amplifies his own strength, achieving a similar effect to wish fulfillment.
Kevin's willpower is completely different from Freya's.
He doesn't create the outcome; he rewrites it.
Freya always used the metaphor of destroying indestructible barriers to describe Kevin's power of will, but in reality, Kevin's power is not so invincible. Barriers that can be destroyed are not truly indestructible; they are only impervious to one or two attacks, or even one or two dozen attacks. However, in Kevin's rewriting, such barriers become ones that can be destroyed with just one strike.
Kevin can only destroy barriers that are destructible but difficult to destroy.
Of course, his willpower does have the effect of making his wishes come true, and it can even develop to the point of being omnipotent, but those things have nothing to do with Kevin now.
As a soldier, his job has always been to destroy and kill the enemy.
Freya felt from the bottom of her heart that this kind of enemy was the most unsolvable and the most troublesome.
"It's time to go, Kevin..."
Freya appeared beside Kevin while using the computing power of Future Aurora, and then instantly teleported to the other side of the Australian continent with Kevin.
