Chapter 473
Welt had to fight the Honkai Beast in the city alongside the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior, while also searching for survivors as much as possible, which took up a lot of his energy.
Meanwhile, the battle in Changkong City is also coming to an end. With Freya and Kevin's return, the problems in Changkong City are almost resolved. However, Tesla has lost one of the 'Welt Unit 1'.
After all, it was thanks to this massive weapon of mass destruction that they were able to buy time to awaken Freya's future Aurora.
However, Freya still said 'No' to such a huge weapon of war.
Although she inherited Siegfried's bloodline, and due to her interest from her previous life, Freya also understood the romance of giant robots.
It's a rampage, with a synchronization rate of 400, which needs no further explanation.
However, from a cost perspective, it would be better to use the same amount of materials to build two space warships than to build a single massive decisive weapon.
"What? We're leaving? No, Freya, give me a little more time."
Just as Welt was about to search for the next survivor, he received a communication from Freya and said somewhat unwillingly.
553. Kevin, you have a new sister?
Welt was really anxious. He could feel Freya's exhaustion on the other end of the communication, which meant that the evacuation plan had officially started.
"Freya, give me a little more time..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the city before him, which had first been destroyed by an earthquake and then by the Honkai Beast.
Welt could sense that there were still many survivors in the city, but this was not a special ability; rather, it was an intuition that he couldn't quite explain.
Welt has already found many survivors in several of these destroyed cities. Although he took away millions of people with his air fleet, most of these people came from Shenzhou and the Far East.
The latter was largely under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, and when the Far Eastern government chose to surrender to the Alliance, the Alliance naturally took over a large number of the Far Eastern citizens.
As for the people of Shenzhou has always been a close ally of the alliance and has a well-established evacuation plan within its borders. It's just that Shenzhou was the main area affected by the disaster this time.
Even with Welt's efforts, Shenzhou only managed to rescue a little over five million people this time, just twice as many as the number rescued in the Far East.
Don't be fooled by the fact that only a few million people were rescued from two populous countries. Keep in mind that only a few hundred thousand people remained in North America, and the entire human population of Australian continent was practically wiped out.
Although the aftermath of Freya and Kevin's assault on the Australian continent caused considerable trouble for Welt's rescue operation, FU and Mei made thorough preparations for the mission.
If Aurora hadn't suddenly intervened in the future, Freya felt that the Alliance wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed.
Welt's plea was very sincere, which made Freya, who was meeting up with Fu Hua on the other end of the communication, feel somewhat awkward.
"Mr. Welt ...you need to know that your decision affects the lives of millions; whether we can leave or not depends not on the Alliance's spaceships and teleportation, but on whether the other side is willing to continue to maintain an understanding with us."
The retreat plan is going smoothly because FU and Mei don't want to have a 'final battle' with her and Kevin so soon.
"I..."
"Of course, I understand that Mr. Welt wants to save more people. Don't overthink it. Although time is indeed limited, Kevin and I have managed to buy you almost a day."
Freya couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
She didn't dislike 'good people' like Welt. On the contrary, if she weren't the Schicksal Saintess, the second in line to the Apolcalis Family, or a backup vessel for the Herrscher of Finality, but just an ordinary person, she would definitely be praying for someone like Welt to appear in front of her when faced with such a natural disaster.
Although Welt said he would only help those who asked for his help, he actually helped anyone in need, and did not intend to give up on them even if they refused.
Welt knew that there wasn't much time left for the rescue, so he tried his best to reach an agreement with the people being rescued as quickly as possible.
"Freya..."
"Yes, yes, I know. Focus on the rescue operation. Also, the Valkyrie squad and Fusion Warrior I assigned to you should be replaced with Valkyrie who use Quantum Body."
After Kevin destroyed half of the Australian continent, the communication disruptions and interference the Alliance had suffered gradually disappeared, and they have re-established contact with Theresa, Bianca, and others on the moon.
It was only after contacting Theresa and Bianca that Freya learned that the campaign on the moon had completely ended.
Bianca certainly lived up to expectations, and her efforts helped Welt's rescue operation.
The liberation of combat forces on the moon also allowed the Alliance to replenish its manpower with available personnel.
Freya isn't some kind of evil spirit; if there's a way to have the best of both worlds, she'll choose to have it all.
Welt was overjoyed to receive a positive answer from Freya; in recent years, apart from Freya keeping her thoughts to herself, the political conflicts between her and Welt had become increasingly serious.
Of course, Welt felt it wasn't Freya's fault, but rather that Freya had become more realistic and her personality was more like that of a certain bastard bishop.
Welt believed it was all the fault of some bastard bishop.
Welt, on the other end of the communication line, happily went to continue the rescue operation, while Freya didn't know if he could find more survivors in the ruins.
Times have completely changed.
Freya never expected that the future would not be what she initially predicted, but rather a new human civil war.
"Yes, with the Alliance suppressing the Honkai battlefields in various places, humanity has forgotten the dangers brought by the Honkai in just five years. With the emergence of new Honkai Energy and Honkai Sickness, even I thought the Honkai wanted us humans to fight amongst ourselves."
She lamented the Honkai execution, or rather, she lamented FU's scheming.
Everyone thought the Honkai wanted humanity to fight amongst themselves, and that various countries were indeed planning to take advantage of the impending civil war to advance their own interests. However, no one expected the Honkai to secretly hide under the table and then suddenly overturn it, shocking everyone.
"We have arrived at Mount Tai Xu."
"So it really is Mount Tai Xu?"
Kevin's reminder drew Freya's attention back, and she gazed at the 'immortal mountain' that had been completely altered.
It is worth noting that the legend of the guardian deity of Shenzhou, "Crimson Heron," still circulates here to this day, attracting many worshippers and seekers of immortality every year.
If it weren't for the Onmyoji organization operating behind the scenes, preventing capitalists in Shenzhou from having any ulterior motives, Mount Tai Xu would have long been developed into a tourist attraction.
When Fu Hua wants to go home, she'll have to pay for the ticket first.
However, the 'immortal' place has probably lost its ability to be developed into a tourist attraction.
Almost half of the mountain has been destroyed, while the other half is engulfed in flames.
Freya and Kevin, who flew over from the air, quickly found Fu Hua, who was being beaten up on the ground.
"Literally, it means being pinned to the ground and beaten up."
Freya couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Kevin, who had previously been beaten up by an acquaintance, remained silent. After all, he also saw one of the people who had beaten him up before among the crowd beating up Fu Hua.
"Himeko was here all along."
"That's normal. Mei is enough for you. However, before I came back, FU wanted to expand his gains. He originally wanted to kill you as well and turn you into Honkai Beast."
If Kevin were to become Humanoid Honkai Beast, well, Freya sincerely felt that the current Kevin was no different from Humanoid Honkai Beast.
The Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of the Alliance do indeed have higher levels of Honkai Factor than previous versions, but ultimately, the proportion of human Factor is still higher in their bodies, while the new Humanoid Honkai Beast have integrated human Factor into their bodies.
This is like Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior being water mixed with wine, while the new Humanoid Honkai Beast are wine mixed with water.
However, in terms of biological structure, Kevin has more Honkai factors than human factors. Compared to Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior, he is more like a new Humanoid Honkai Beast created by FU.
Those who don't know the situation might think Kevin is a Honkai agent who infiltrated the league.
Of course, Freya wouldn't think that way, but the coincidences in the Battle of the Abyss finally had an explanation.
It can only be said that at that time, FU planned to replace humans with new Humanoid Honkai Beast, and Kevin was the 'Unit-00' he created.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go help Fu Hua."
"..."
Kevin glanced at Freya with a hint of helplessness. If Welt was worried that Freya's personality was becoming more and more like Otto's, then he was worried that Freya's personality was becoming more and more like Fu.
The latter is a super-duper version of the former, and the headache-inducing index is even greater than that of the former.
That being said, Kevin certainly didn't intend to stand idly by.
Freya watched as Kevin, who had previously said there was only one last hit left, joined the battle.
She realized that she and Kevin had only been away from the Australian continent for a little over ten minutes, while they had been engaged in a fierce battle Kevin five or six hours on the Australian continent.
Well, Kevin was in the middle of a fierce battle, while Freya just watched from the sidelines, all that was missing was popcorn, sunflower seeds, and soda.
Kevin, who had suddenly appeared, immediately shoved Himeko aside, grabbed Cheng Lixue's arm and threw her away, kicked away the Herrscher of Domination, and then swung his Wolf Cough Greatsword of Heavenly Fire horizontally, the flames instantly engulfing the Herrscher of Consciousness.
As expected of Fire department greatsword belonging to the elite.
Freya, now in spectator mode, shrugged and then looked with some curiosity at the Tai Xu Seven Swords who regarded her as an enemy.
According to the 'history' she knew, these Seven Tai Xu Seven Swords were extremely filial sons.
In the tradition of ancient Shenzhou, the relationship between master and disciple was even closer than that between father and son. Many masters even treated their disciples as their own children, and disciples treated their masters as their parents. Not to mention, when Fu Hua adopted the Tai Xu Seven Swords, they were still a group of children. Although Fu Hua was indifferent, she still devoted a lot of effort to them.
Freya wasn't curious about why they betrayed Fu Hua, but rather how they dared to treat her as an enemy.
"There won't be any Honkai crystal tower here that could interfere with natural disaster attacks..."
Since she was going to abandon Earth anyway, Freya didn't mind letting the natural disasters get out of control and turning the whole area into another dimension.
The dangers of Distorted Space are actually greater than the dangers of the objects trapped within it.
The energy that is still sealed in the Distorted Space of the Devil's Triangle Sea Area has mutated into a very terrifying state. Freya originally planned to untangle the Distorted Space of the Devil's Triangle Sea Area after the evacuation was completed, which would probably cause a lot of trouble for FU and Mei.
But in the end, she gave up on such a shameless act. However, she really didn't mind teaching the Tai Xu Seven Swords a lesson.
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Freya, the Tai Xu Seven Swords below instinctively turned their attention to Kevin, who simply wanted to beat someone up.
Kevin also knew how to read the room; in the Previous Civilization era, he and Fu Hua had always been evenly matched.
In terms of sheer strength and control over Honkai Energy, he is far superior to Fu Hua, while Fu Hua is better in terms of combat skills and the ingenuity of her moves.
In the present civilization, as possibly the world's first new Humanoid Honkai Beast, Kevin's power has exceeded the gap that skill can bridge.
Moreover, the other party's willpower acts on reality, having an effect similar to rewriting facts.
Fu Hua, with her face bruised and battered, witnessed the effects of Kevin's willpower in actual combat once again. Freya, watching from the sky, also had the idea of collecting combat data.
Ultimately, an arms race between the Alliance and the Honkai is inevitable.
Freya watched Kevin show off his skills with a smile.
Compared to his own willpower, which required a month to create just one gram of 'Order Stone', Kevin's willpower was indeed more suitable for actual combat.
Simply put, it is the belief in forging ahead and the indomitable will.
Himeko smiled bitterly as the Imaginary Barrier in front of him was shattered in a single blow. Theoretically, even Soul Steel could not destroy the armor, which had been cut through.
She quickly distanced herself, looking helplessly at Kevin standing in front of her.
"Kevin, I'm increasingly convinced that your new powers are just irrational."
Despite not exceeding the barrier's maximum strength, it still shattered the barrier; despite possessing armor harder than Soul Steel, it was cut open by the Divine Key made of Soul Steel.
"Although FU and Mei have both studied the power of will, their research directions are not suitable for me. FU and Mei told me to wait here, saying that you will come, and that I will understand what the power of will is after I experience it myself."
"Himeko, what are you trying to say?"
"Well, the first person in the Previous Civilization to awaken the power of will was FU. Do you think he wouldn't do research in this area?"
Himeko chuckled at this point.
Her body was specially created by FU, making her the most unique among all the new Humanoid Honkai Beast.
The Tai Xu Seven Swords and the two Herrscher were no match for Kevin; they couldn't even last a few rounds against Kevin.
Fu Hua's miserable situation was simply because she was too 'restrained' by the people in front of her.
However, when Kevin, who was capable of producing miracles, was chosen as their opponent, the Tai Xu Seven Swords and the two Herrscher were quickly defeated and temporarily lost their ability to fight.
However, their previous struggles did give Himeko time to ponder the power of will.
Fu Hua sat up, her mood complicated. Being seen being beaten up by two acquaintances naturally put her in a bad mood.
However, as a tremendous will emerged from Himeko, Freya, Kevin, and Fu Hua couldn't help but take notice.
Just as Stand users are attracted to each other, people who use external powers will naturally be able to find others who also use external powers.
"Willpower? SU, you should leave the group!"
Freya subconsciously started to complain about someone who was originally set to be the most powerful in the Previous Civilization, but was actually the most useless.
Even if she doesn't consider herself merely a remnant of FU, barely qualifying as half a Previous Civilization, Freya estimates that with Mei's talent, overcoming the barrier of willpower wouldn't be difficult for her, not to mention that FU himself was the first person from the Previous Civilization to awaken willpower.
At present, the 'forerunners' of the Previous Civilization, SU, have not yet grasped the power of will.
Logically speaking, those with a spiritual constitution should be able to break through this barrier of will more easily than warriors.
