Chapter 475
Welt, who was knocked to the ground by the impact, was naturally completely bewildered and had no idea about the outcome of the battle in another part of Shenzhou.
555. It's good that you woke up, Aurora.
When Kevin and Freya returned to base, Welt was already searching for survivors in the next city.
This city, which was already in ruins due to an earthquake and Honkai Beast attack, was further devastated by the impact of the collision between Kevin and Himeko not long ago, and now there isn't a single intact building left.
The fireworks that lit up the city seemed to tell the story of the despair that the people living in this city had experienced.
Welt staggered along the walls of the collapsed building, gazing at everything before him with deep concern.
It seemed unnecessary to spend time searching for survivors in a city in such a state. Welt sighed and continued forward, sensing the signs of life beneath the collapsed buildings.
"Lord Welt, there should be no survivors in this city."
"..."
To coordinate with Welt's search operation, Freya has switched the squad originally assigned to him. The Valkyrie now accompanying Welt are Quantized Valkyrie are descending from the moon using the Quantum Phantom System.
The situation on the moon has completely stabilized, and the Honkai side clearly has no intention of causing trouble for the Alliance.
Currently, the outcome of the battle between the Alliance and Honkai has been decided. Freya and FU are both reaping the rich rewards of this battle, and both sides are tacitly ignoring the only loser in this battle.
Welt, whose rescue operation was not hindered by any Honkai Beast, couldn't help but think that Freya and FU had reached some kind of consensus.
It's like two major powers preparing for war, both sides speaking righteously and fiercely, and then they first crush the small country next door that was just watching the show.
The 'third party' watching this show is truly pitiful.
It did nothing, yet it became an innocent victim of the attack.
Welt sighed. He knew that the culprit who started this battle was FU, an ordinary researcher from a Previous Civilization. To be honest, Welt didn't believe that this guy, who had assimilated with the Honkai Consciousness of this world with his own will, was the ordinary researcher he claimed to be.
If someone like him calls himself an ordinary researcher, then the top researchers in the current Civilization Alliance can only be considered second-rate.
Geniuses are irreplaceable.
It is precisely because of the existence of geniuses that both the Previous Civilization and current civilizations have been able to rapidly develop technological products to combat the Honkai.
The 0.000001% inspiration that a genius ignites is far more important than the 99.999999% effort of those who work hard.
FU is an unconventional genius; at least, everyone in the current civilization agrees on this.
After all, whether it was SU, Kevin, or Freya, they all used Otto's super-duper version to describe each other, which made Bishop Otto, who didn't usually pay attention to these things, unusually interested.
Welt dug through the ruins for a while longer, but he still couldn't find any survivors.
Finally, Welt reluctantly abandoned the city and headed to the next one, which was not much different from the first.
Welt searched the city for survivors as if he were possessed, and even the Quantized Valkyrie beside him couldn't bring him to his senses.
Freya was unaware that Welt seemed to be possessed by some righteous hero.
Of course, the situation on the moon was indeed quite good. After Freya left, Bianca seemed to be possessed by something strange, and in short, she captured Honkai Beast that were about to jump around.
Bianca performed very well, so Freya reported the intelligence on the moon to Welt, reassuring him to focus on capturing people, while leaving the rest to her.
Freya started this battle because Freya's initial strategic goal was to occupy the Previous Civilization city on the moon.
Bianca performed exceptionally well and lived up to Freya's expectations. She successfully completed the mission Freya assigned her, and naturally, a promotion and raise awaited her.
Freya simply had too many things to deal with; otherwise, she would have loved to give Rita a hug, pat Bianca on the shoulder, and say something encouraging.
Aurora from the future has yet to shake off her role as a tool.
It must be said that Welt worked very hard. There are still more than ten million survivors of the current civilization. However, the lunar base is simply not large enough to accommodate such a large population.
Ryoma worked himself to the bone to build a lunar base that could accommodate more than 100,000 people, and even then, a large part of the area was built with substandard materials.
Of course, others cut corners for money, but Ryoma cut corners simply to save time.
Ryoma left the unused empty shells there, Ryoma attention focused on how to rationally allocate population density.
It would take a considerable amount of time for ten million people to squeeze into the lunar base and the cities of the Previous Civilization.
Freya, who used the future Aurora as a tool, repeatedly made long-distance spatial travels and then dumped all the burdens on her.
To be honest, Aurora suddenly felt overwhelmed by this situation.
When Aurora came to this world in the future, she felt that she had a mission to help Freya and others who had been tricked by FU in the past.
However, reality was far more bizarre than she had imagined. Based on some clues during the battle, Aurora felt that her second sister at this point in time did not need any protection at all. She even suspected that her second sister's battle with FU might have been staged.
Her main role as a "tool" was to share the energy consumed by Freya when using spatial teleportation.
Meanwhile, Aurora the future, who had also arrived on the moon, was having tea with her foster mother from this world, admiring the bizarre and wonderful sights in space. The next moment, she felt her mental energy was severely depleted and immediately realized that Freya had once again drained her mental strength.
This made Aurora lie on the sofa in a very relaxed manner, and the pastries and tea in her mouth suddenly lost their flavor.
When the resettlement work actually began, several accidents occurred. A group of survivors were placed in an area that Ryoma had previously cut corners on. As a result, after a large number of survivors were taken in, the roofs of several rooms in that area suddenly disappeared, causing many survivors to be thrown out as well.
Although Ryoma and Future Aurora managed to find all the survivors who had been thrown out, several survivors still tragically perished.
This cannot be blamed on Ryoma's poor handling of the situation. Even if Freya had anticipated the current situation, it would have been impossible for her to be thorough in every aspect.
In fact, in terms of the capacity of the lunar base alone, the lunar base built by Ryoma already met Freya's original requirements.
The Valkyrie still had strength patrolled the Previous Civilization city, and some of Valkyrie sent the Honkai Beast they had captured to the designated experimental animal area.
The future alliance will be based on the moon, while the Honkai will be based on Earth. Whether the two sides will be enemies after this battle remains to be seen.
Freya was somewhat worried that FU would spread Honkai about the death of the Valkyrie and the rise of Hueco Mundo, implying that they would stop being Honkai Beast and start being Hollows. In short, if FU made such a declaration, it would mean that Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior would be unemployed, and the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior would indeed be unable to rise again.
You've probably seen how a certain group of "fireball warriors" almost all suffered a mental breakdown after a certain creator god announced their unemployment.
For many Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior, their hostility towards the Honkai and their desire for revenge have always been the driving force behind their desperate fights.
Freya was forced to use her abilities to dig a crater in the center of the moon and build a huge temporary containment facility.
Since there were plans to terraform the moon in the future, Freya dug a few holes according to the plan. She didn't dig too deep or too many, leaving enough room for modifications.
No one knows whether the five-year plan formulated a few years ago will be changed due to special circumstances.
Freya had just dug several large pits on the moon, soon received a communication that her tool, Future Aurora, had fainted.
"She's fainted? What happened?"
Freya, who was still digging a hole in the ground with her own abilities, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"It seems to be a problem of exhaustion. No, she seemed to say that Aurora is about to wake up."
"It seems that FU doesn't want us to continue having such a smooth journey."
Freya dug a very deep and wide pit underground, but the corresponding facilities were not complete. Allowing the survivors to live in such a terrible nostalgia was tantamount to murdering a group of people.
Freya quickly arrived beside the future Aurora, and seeing her body flickering like static on a television screen that couldn't receive a signal, Freya asked.
"How are you? Is there anything I can do to help you? If you can wake up as soon as Aurora does, I'll try to get Aurora to take a nap."
Upon hearing Freya's words, Aurora in the future couldn't help but smile with delight.
"That's enough. I don't have a single drop left. Sister Freya, I'm still not mature enough at this stage, so please take good care of me."
Aurora's future attitude seems to be a response to Freya's previous words.
Although in the future Aurora wouldn't mind trying to resist the erosion of time and space while being hated by the world, she would still be able to do her best for her second sister who was left behind.
"Really? You're planning to go back?"
"Well, although I can't go back whenever I want, the fact that the lord released me at this time is because he hopes to influence your own plans."
The future Aurora did not leave voluntarily; rather, the Honkai Consciousness released Aurora's consciousness, which created a paradoxical connection in spacetime. In order to avoid entering Aurora's subjective consciousness, the future Aurora no longer resisted the connection from spacetime.
Aurora back in the future.
Freya then gathered around Aurora's bed in this world with a group of people.
Considering that even the powerful future Aurora is going to travel through time to be a tool, Freya thinks she should try to trick the Aurora quickly gaining power, and ideally, let her find this point in time by following the Imaginary Tree.
As Aurora, her face suddenly turned pale.
As Aurora opened her eyes, she naturally noticed the group of people in the room and the 'pity' flowing from their eyes.
"Sister Freya, what's wrong with me...?"
"Answer me first: do you remember what happened in that higher-dimensional space?"
"What? Higher dimensions?"
Faced with Freya's question, Aurora was somewhat bewildered.
Just like before, in order to prevent Aurora from leaking information, Aurora was pulled into a higher-dimensional spacetime where leaving would inevitably erase someone's memory.
Although FU underestimated Freya's reasoning ability—the ability of a blind cat to stumble upon a dead mouse—he didn't expect Freya to see through his plan, and he underestimated Aurora's potential even more.
This battle, whose outcome was already predetermined for both sides, unexpectedly took a series of turns, ultimately resulting in this kind of confrontation.
Of course, opposing stances do not mean that the two sides will remain hostile indefinitely. Especially since the leader of the Honkai forces on the other side is a shameless and unscrupulous weirdo named FU.
Aurora herself didn't understand why things had turned out this way; she woke up feeling like the whole world had changed.
My home is gone, my hidden snacks are gone, and now I'm on the moon. I'm as helpless as can be, and as pitiful as can be.
"Anyway, it's good that you're awake, Aurora."
"Yes..." Aurora's face still showed a lot of confusion.
However, at this moment, Freya didn't hold back too much.
"By the way, my lovely Aurora, when I use spatial teleportation later, I will need you to provide a small portion of the extremely rare 'computing power'."
At this point, Freya finally revealed her true colors.
That's right. Now that the future Aurora is gone, she plans to use the present Aurora as a tool.
Looking at how adeptly Aurora act as a tool in the future, Freya feels that she needs to cultivate Aurora's awareness of being a tool.
It took half a month for the aftereffects of this shocking battle to completely disappear.
However, at this time, the Moon Civilization, composed of the Alliance and the survivors, and the Honkai Beast led by FU and Mei, also proclaimed themselves as the Abyss Civilization.
Just as Freya had guessed, after realizing that he couldn't reverse the situation, FU resorted to other means.
The Abyss Civilization and the Moon Civilization were at peace for half a month.
They didn't even attack Welt, who was still searching for survivors on Earth; this was a gesture of goodwill from the Abyss Civilization to the Moon Civilization.
In fact, what we really didn't expect was yet to come.
The Moon Civilization here is still terraforming the moon, and the more than ten million survivors have overcome the initial panic and are soon assigned to new positions under the alliance's arrangement. The Abyss Civilization then took the initiative to contact the Moon Civilization here.
When the communication screen was turned on, Freya and Kevin saw many familiar faces.
Himeko, who had awakened her willpower, the Tai Xu Seven Swords, and two Herrscher suddenly appeared, clearly indicating that FU did indeed possess some kind of rapid resurrection method.
Or perhaps it was simply a matter of copying bodies, but in the end, the two decided to exchange lives.
Freya desired knowledge from the Imaginary Tree, followed by knowledge from the Sea of Quantum, and finally, some advanced knowledge...
But the topic raised by FU and Mei surprised Freya, Kevin, and the others.
Let's cut down those in the People from the Sky together, Kevin, Freya!
556. SU, you should leave the group.
Half a month after that great war in which the Alliance gained the moon, the Honkai gained the Earth, and only the Illuminati lost everything, the first thing the two sides said when they made contact was that they hoped to join forces with the Alliance to weaken another civilization.
Freya looked at the communication screen displayed in mid-air with a sense of helplessness.
Kevin, SU, and Welt might not understand what was going on with the other party, but Freya, who had inherited some of the other party's knowledge from their past lives, understood their perverse sense of humor very well.
White paint was applied to the entire huge space on the other side of the communication screen as if it were free, and then everyone was wearing long white coats with black trim, sitting around a very large chair.
Hello, Sousuke Aizen.
"FU, is this your new body?"
