Chapter 477

Although both attacks originated from Honkai, the Honkai forces led by FU were indeed more controllable than the unknown situations caused by Honkai.

That being said, FU still stands on the side of Honkai.

"Alright, SU, even though you have that ability, you still can't become Byakuran. Just stay on the sidelines and watch."

FU clearly didn't want SU to keep interrupting, but SU once again failed to understand what FU was saying.

"Bai Lan? Who is Bai Lan?"

"Someone with the ability to see into parallel worlds, right? Speaking of which, you've observed countless parallel worlds, yet you can't extract their technology? Surely not every parallel world develops in the same predictable way. Some parallel worlds should have more advanced medicine, and others should have more powerful weapons..."

To be honest, with someone around who has observed a large number of parallel worlds, Freya would definitely want to make use of that person's knowledge.

However, due to the burden on his body from observing a large number of parallel worlds, he basically had to rest quietly every few days, just like Himeko. Moreover, the observation results of the large number of parallel worlds provided by SU were mostly about how human civilization was courting disaster and how the Herrscher of Finality was invincible in the future.

Important aspects of human geography and the technology of that parallel world were overlooked.

"SU, you should leave the group."

Although Mei wasn't quite sure what the sentence meant, she felt it was very appropriate for the current situation.

He truly deserves to be called a genius.

Freya and FU nodded in agreement.

"..."

SU couldn't help but look at Kevin. Kevin knew that SU was asking him for help, but after Freya's explanation, he realized that SU was wasting her advantages.

Despite being able to use the Second Divine Key, they failed to fully utilize its greatest advantage in observing parallel worlds.

He could have used the Second Divine Key to observe the power of parallel worlds and absorb their knowledge and technology, but he only used the Second Divine Key to find a parallel world where he could defeat the Herrscher of Finality.

This is like SU insisting on finding a reference book that can answer all the questions on the exam. As a result, he spends every day browsing bookstores but doesn't realize that doing more similar practice questions can increase his chances of passing the exam.

After completing one set of five-year college entrance exam simulations and three-year mock exams, the chances of passing the exam increase by a few points; after two sets, the chances increase by a few more points, and after three sets, the chances increase by more than ten points.

Of course, Freya also admitted that if there were a reference book that could help you pass the exam, then it would indeed be very easy if you could just read and memorize that reference book thoroughly.

But in reality, there is no reference book that can solve all problems.

Kevin looked somewhat reluctant, but in the end he turned his head away.

SU has once again fallen into a state of isolation.

"Let's not talk about that talent-wasting guy anymore, but he's in poor health, and the parallel world data he provided is also mediocre."

Freya gave SU a disdainful look. She never intended to rely on Kevin's strength, since he was always protected by Kevin.

How could someone whose vision is limited by observations of numerous parallel worlds possibly create an unknown future?

"Do you think that the world evolved from the Imaginary Tree doesn't have a world that has passed the Honkai Filter, or that the Honkai Filter simply doesn't exist?"

FU said with a delighted expression, his villainous aura exuding an overwhelming presence, especially with that fake Blue Big face.

For him, the presence of someone as mad as himself within the Moon Civilization meant that the Moon Civilization still had a future.

"That's why I've always said, SU, you're not as good as Kevin. If it were Kevin, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would still take the gamble..."

To others, the Stigmata Activation Plan seemed far-fetched, suggesting that sacrificing so many lives wouldn't necessarily defeat the Honkai.

However, if things continue to develop in the same way, they will be defeated by the Honkai in the first place. In Kevin's opinion, rather than waiting to die, it is better to gamble on the future of human civilization.

This is similar to saving your Dust of Radiance to directly exchange for a four-star item, or exchanging it for Entangled Bonds.

That's right, even if you redeem the Entangled Bond, the probability of getting gold is only 0.6%.

Although you know that single pulls will basically only get you blue, and ten pulls might only get you purple, if you don't pull, you will never get gold. Even if you save your Dust of Ember to exchange for a four-star, you can only get one four-star. But if you exchange it for Entangled Fate, there is a 0.6% chance of getting gold.

SU and FU grew up together, but they both felt it was more fun to play with Kevin.

FU saw the hint of madness in Kevin's heart, while SU thought FU was too crazy, simply believing that everyone was a little better than FU, except that Kevin was the best among them.

Incidentally, Mei had been thinking for a while that SU was her rival in love, until FU revealed that SU was a boy.

Of course, even though it was revealed from the beginning that SU was a boy, Mei still regarded SU as a rival in love.

After all, if he really is gay, there's no reason why he wouldn't have anything to do with FU. But if he's not gay, why would he ignore his childhood friend and stick with Kevin all the time? It really made Mei cry.

Don't assume that bookworms are indifferent to romance. You should know that when Kevin first transferred to our school, Mei paid special attention to this 'prince'.

It can only be said that Mei wasn't interested in dating before, simply because the male classmates who were close to her weren't good-looking enough.

It's like being a hooligan. If Fu acts like a hooligan with a cheeky attitude, people will call the police, but if Kevin, who looks like Europe aristocrat, acts like a hooligan, then it's called flirting.

The reason why a straight man like FU was able to successfully match someone up on his first try is partly because one of them is a bookish nerd with little knowledge, while the other is a guy with looks that surpasses everything. In this case, isn't it an operation that anyone can do?

Let's not talk about fun school days, since Freya doesn't have many related memories, which would prevent her from joining the conversation happily. However, what FU just said gave Freya a lot of inspiration.

That's right—

Who can prove that a world unaffected by the Honkai doesn't exist?

Who can prove that a world that has passed the Honkai Filter does not exist?

Do you have the coordinates for these two types of worlds?

Freya's original plan was to target the parallel world connected to the Penglai Si Jiuxiao.

Both Theresa, whom she brought back, and Penglai Si Jiuxiao, who awakened and claimed to be the savior, longed to return to that parallel world.

Since Honkai is a screening mechanism, and since there are screening standards, it means that there may indeed be civilizations that meet the standards.

Freya's attention was drawn, and even the withdrawn SU and Kevin, who had just turned his head away, focused their attention.

However, FU shrugged and said...

"Don't think about it. I am just the Honkai Consciousness of this world. To put it simply, I am a tester responsible for testing. This world has not yet passed the standard of civilization, but I think it is possible. There may even be a special universe that specifically accommodates such a civilization."

"You mean..."

Perhaps because her way of thinking was so similar to FU's, Freya immediately realized what was happening.

"That's right, it's the situation that popped into your mind: a tree and an ocean in opposition in the void. Although human civilization is constantly being pruned away by Honkai, humanity itself is a branch of the 'tree,' or rather, everything is inseparable from the 'tree.' However, human civilization cannot grow arbitrarily, so it needs something else to correct it, and that thing is Honkai— "

FU said this very calmly.

"Civilization is not wrong, nor is Honkai. The actions of the People from the Sky are merely skipping class. Civilizations that can be filtered by Honkai are the civilizations the Imaginary Tree needs. So, what kind of civilization does the Imaginary Tree need..."

FU posed this question to the actual rulers of the Moon Civilization.

Freya remained silent for only a moment.

"A civilization capable of confronting the Sea of Quantum..."

It is assumed that the Moon Civilization developed along three technological paths: Honkai, Mechanical, and Quantum. However, based on information revealed by FU, their civilization development actually went astray.

Whether it's using Honkai to fight Honkai or using the power of the Sea of Quantum, both are flawed developments. However, human technological civilization itself also has fatal flaws. The further technological civilization progresses, the more unrestrained it consumes resources, leading to Entropy Increase and ultimately the Heat Death of the universe.

However, the civilization that helps the Imaginary Tree fight against the Sea of Quantum is indeed an ideal civilization that does not need to experience Honkai, or can pass the Honkai selection process.

"This is also part of my speculation. I think the world evolved from the Imaginary Tree is divided into the trunk world and the branch world. The civilizations of the trunk world are the main force against the Sea of Quantum, while the world we live in is the branch world, which needs to be pruned regularly for withered or insect-eaten branches."

FU's speculation puzzled Freya as well, not to mention Kevin and SU.

Freya thought her thinking was already quite unconventional, but she was still momentarily confused by FU's remarks.

But Freya quickly understood what FU was trying to say.

"Are you saying that there is an upward path for civilization?"

"Well, this is just my guess. It's hard to say whether there really is an ascension route. However, most civilizations, after conquering a star field, will launch an offensive against parallel worlds, perhaps with the idea of finding an ascension path. After all, it is an unsolved mystery, just like how to fight against the Sea of Quantum and how to pass the Honkai filtration."

"So you can't even determine whether this is true or false?"

Freya said somewhat irritably.

However, FU on the other end of the communication shrugged irresponsibly.

"I can only give you some ideas, but I can't guarantee that they exist. After all, we've never actually seen them. Just like in some parallel worlds, humans are confused about whether there are extraterrestrial life in space. Some people even believe that only Earth in the entire universe has given birth to humans."

This is similar to how many people used to think that the earth was flat and that the sun rose in the east and set in the west around the earth. But in reality, the earth is a sphere, and it is not the sun that revolves around the earth, but the earth that revolves around the sun, while also rotating on its own axis.

"Tsk, you're such a loser."

Freya made no attempt to hide her contempt.

FU probably hadn't expected to be looked down upon, and was momentarily speechless, while Kevin and SU immediately burst into hearty laughter.

Seeing FU get his comeuppance certainly made the two of them very happy.

"Seriously, you don't expect to fob us off with this little bit of information, do you? You're trying to fob us off Moon Civilization a beggar. Believe me, I'll take Kevin with me to rob Mei."

"Get lost, you leader of a bandit civilization! Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. I don't believe you dare to rob Mei."

"Okay, put Mei on the ground and I'll go grab her right away."

"Get out of here. If you want to steal, break into my base and do it yourself."

"Then reveal the location of your base!"

Freya said with shining eyes, but FU chose to ignore her. Only a fool would let Kevin find the location of the base.

558. Are you really planning to go to that parallel world?

Although FU and Mei wanted to catch up with their old classmates, Freya ended the meeting to avoid revealing more information.

Fortunately, both sides reached a consensus in the end, agreeing that the Moon Civilization would not use Kevin for the next six months in exchange for a small portion of the Abyss Civilization's technology and several finished Honkai crystal tower.

Freya was very interested in the Honkai crystal tower, which could offset attacks from natural disasters. If used properly, she would no longer have to worry about the Distorted Space during natural disaster attacks.

In fact, Freya was always worried about the Distorted Space time she used it. If the Distorted Space got out of control, the energy trapped inside would be constantly distorted and explode, which could destroy everything on the ground or even destroy the entire planet.

The Distorted Space Freya left in the Devil's Triangle Sea Area was also a major headache for Mei. The energy sealed inside had long exceeded the level that human civilization could withstand after undergoing multiple distortions.

In the coming years, Mei will need to devote all her efforts to eliminating the distorted energy within the Distorted Space. If the internal energy distortion were to break through the barrier of the Distorted Space, the consequences would be even more severe.

FU and Mei always felt that Freya's decisive choice to abandon Earth was also a plan to unravel the Distorted Space at a critical moment and release the internal aberration energy to severely damage them.

FU even added at the end, "Was this all within your calculations?", only to be met with Freya making a gesture commonly used in a certain country.

This was not part of her plan at all. If Freya had known that the Honkai Consciousness had assimilated with FU, she could have arranged a more appropriate countermeasure and even avoided the loss of billions of people.

Even with FU's guarantee that billions of people will be reborn as Honkai Life, it doesn't mean Freya can truly accept the loss of so many lives.

As some people familiar with Freya have said, Freya is actually very suitable for the title of Saintess.

After the talks, the Abyss Civilization and the Moon Civilization entered a rare honeymoon period, but both sides knew that if they revealed any weakness, the other side would definitely pursue them relentlessly.

The current peace is merely an illusion, built upon Freya's trump card and Kevin's military deterrence.

If Mei also conquers the distorted energy within the Distorted Space, then Freya will have no means left to threaten the Abyss Civilization.

To prevent the Moon Civilization from falling behind and becoming vulnerable to attack, Freya decided to accelerate the Moon Civilization's expansion into parallel worlds, and she decided to immediately go to the parallel world.

That being said, Freya underestimated her influence on terraforming the moon, to the point that she was unable to leave in the short term.

After all, not everyone can be as versatile as him.

Freya, with her multiple Herrscher abilities, is well-suited for terraforming the moon, and among the more than ten million survivors, Freya is more popular than Theresa.

Most of the more than ten million survivors knew Freya, the Saintess was passionate about doing charity.

Just as Freya was known as the "Black-hearted Saintess" among the high-ranking officials of various countries, she was known as the "Merciful Saintess" among the people because of her annual charity tours. However, the fact that Theresa was the Supreme Executive Officer of the Alliance was actually unknown even to some members of the Alliance, let alone the outside world's impression of Theresa.

The alliance adopts a Seven Archons governing model, where the seven supreme rulers can interfere in all internal affairs. Although this can easily lead to chaos, it also demonstrates the immense power that the seven supreme rulers wield.

Of course, the seven supreme governors were not interested in managing too much, and in fact they wanted to delegate even the matters under their charge to others. As a result, among the seven governors, only Theresa, as the head governor, was truly in charge of all affairs within the alliance, unlike the other governors who, despite having power, never used this privilege.

Just like Freya is in charge of medical affairs within the alliance, she would never interfere in matters outside of medical care. She is already very busy, so why would she take on other people's affairs? If she could, she really wouldn't mind handing over the position of the Seven Archons to someone else.

However, the Seven Archons Management Model was the product of Freya, Kevin, and Welt's compromise after many negotiations. Only when Theresa sits at the Head of Administration can all members of the alliance be convinced, and the remaining six seats must be divided equally among the three organizations.

Compared to Freya, the governors, including Theresa, are very low-key. In fact, while people within the alliance can distinguish the three Kiana sisters, the general public outside the alliance hardly pays any attention to the alliance's leaders.

This is like asking you who the top official is in Zambia or Namibia.

Freya gave a speech to settle more than ten million survivors, but this speech inadvertently made Freya the object of the dependence of more than ten million survivors.

This was originally a responsibility Freya wanted Theresa to take on, but unexpectedly, Theresa got herself into trouble first, so now she can't even shift the blame.

Most importantly, Theresa wouldn't allow her to shift the blame.
