Chapter 479
The job of the Quantized Valkyrie is to recycle the world's available resources.
Although minerals can be mined on the moon during the process of terraforming it, it is still not enough to support a human civilization on the moon, even if it only has more than ten million people.
Freya once brought the World Serpent Organization to its knees. The defeated World Serpent Organization fled to a sanctuary in the Sahara Desert. The sanctuary had a relatively complete supply system, but it still needed to conserve resources and energy. Under such circumstances, it was easy for negative emotions to arise.
Some World Serpent members, in their despair, attacked the weak within the organization, while others chose to destroy their own lives.
Those were mostly members who had undergone professional training. In contrast, the main members of the Moon Civilization were mostly ordinary people. They couldn't understand why the Alliance abandoned Earth. They only knew that their homes and loved ones were gone.
Freya provided psychological counseling to the more than ten million survivors, but these pessimistic emotions even affected the Valkyrie.
After all, they were a group of young girls, who were naturally sentimental and had a strong sense of justice, making it easy for them to feel the urge to do something for the survivors.
Of course, most of the survivors were genuinely pitiful, but a small number were deliberately playing the victim, hoping that the Valkyrie who was giving them psychological counseling would secretly give them some living supplies.
However, the current Moon Civilization is under full military management, and even Theresa, who is easily swayed by emotions, knows that she cannot be soft-hearted at this time.
Those Valkyrie who were affected and secretly provided extra supplies were not punished.
With Freya around, who would dare to punish the Valkyrie? However, she still had to receive the necessary lessons.
It has to be said, the league is really poor.
At this moment, Freya patted the little head of one Valkyrie and then patted the little head of the other Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie nowadays are all younger than her; they are all her little sisters. Those Valkyrie who are her age have mostly switched to clerical roles due to the limitations of early, immature technology.
After all, many new technologies cannot be combined with old technologies, which means that some Valkyrie can no longer be improved.
The Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody is a type of antibody with strong exclusivity. Valkyrie who can adapt to it can use the exclusivity of the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody to clear out old antibodies in their bodies. Valkyrie who cannot adapt to it cannot become Herrscher-style Valkyrie through the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody.
Currently, the Alliance has only 5,000 Herrscher-style Valkyrie and Herrscher Fusion Warrior in total, while half of the main battle group, which has a total of 10,000 members, are still Type-B Valkyrie. It has to be said that the Key of Reason has raised the ceiling for all Valkyrie.
Moreover, neither the Type-B Valkyrie nor the Herrscher-style Valkyrie have reached their limits yet, and Jackal has recently been researching an internal organ. She has just developed a new life-extending technology that will basically eliminate any concerns about lifespan for the Alliance in the future.
With the lifespan of the alliance members extended, the issue of reproduction became less urgent, and the researchers in the alliance became even less interested in reproduction. From a certain perspective, this could be considered a crisis. In any case, it was all left to Theresa to handle, since she was the head of the alliance.
Jackal is a genius, but even she can't solve the problem of the League's dwindling resources.
"The first group seems to be collecting priority resources, so you guys go ahead. The second to fifth groups are doing regular collection; you can start from around here, or even further away. Oh, and don't go near that Distorted Space. It'll be a huge hassle to get you out once you're inside, and the energy inside is starting to warp. I reckon you'll all die if you go in. It'll take a whole day to rebuild a Quantum Body, so don't do anything reckless..."
"Yes, Lord Freya."
"Okay, Freya- neechan~"
"Understood."
"Hehe."
Possessing Quantum Body that is equivalent to immortality, the Quantized Valkyrie responded joyfully.
In her opinion, after acquiring the Quantum Body, the Valkyrie became quite reckless, as if they couldn't be comfortable without courting death.
Of course, if you have such an immortal body and don't do anything reckless, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?
If it were Freya, she would definitely do the same thing ten or eight times first.
While sending the Quantized Valkyrie to collect resources, Theresa and Penglai Si Jiuxiao set off to search for the whereabouts of Bronya and others in this world.
They first arrived at the previous shelter, but it was deserted. Judging from the traces at the scene, it must have been attacked by a large number of Honkai Beast, and the people in the shelter chose to evacuate.
"Now, where should we even begin to look for them..."
Theresa looked at the ruins of the shelter with some distress.
Although this shelter used to be very dilapidated, like a ruin, it truly lived up to its name after being attacked by Honkai Beast.
Theresa and Penglai Si Jiuxiao encountered several Honkai Beasts that had not yet left while in the shelter.
560. Honestly, Theresa, I'm starting to like Bronya.
After becoming Valkyrie, Penglai Si Jiuxiao and the upgraded Theresa quickly dealt with the several Honkai Beasts in the shelter.
"This thing is really useful..."
Theresa had to admit the power of these external Stigmata. Even though she wasn't Herrscher-style Valkyrie and could only control three Key of Reason, she was still more than ten times stronger than she had been in the past.
This is like Theresa originally only had a heavy machine gun, but now, Theresa comes with several floating cannons.
Theresa's feelings were also very complicated. If this world also had such a powerful invention, perhaps it wouldn't have ended up in this state. But then she thought that even parallel worlds with such powerful inventions were Honkai to abandon Earth by the Honkai. Theresa couldn't help but feel fortunate.
The stronger a civilization is, the stronger its Honkai will be.
Of course, there are many types of Key of Reason. In Freya's words, you can bring more enhanced Key of Reason. These Key of Reason are also known as universal Law Keys. When forming Starmap, they are the Key of Reason that are least likely to go out of control.
Simply put, a typical enhanced Key of Reason will provide an effect of +10 to attack, +10 to defense, +10 to agility, and +10 to perception, so these effects can be easily stacked.
Take Bianca's bow Starmap as an example. It contains many effects that increase accuracy and speed up archer attacks. Such Starmap is naturally not suitable for use with melee Starmap.
Aside from enhanced Key of Reason with skills are almost the most preferred type for non-Herald Valkyrie.
Ultimately, the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of the Law are special warriors created with the Key of Reason as their core.
Those like Bianca, Valkyrie are mostly born to be Valkyries or possess Stigmata, do not need to have their genes specially adjusted; they can control those byproducts on their own.
However, the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of the Type B form use the Type-B Stigmata as their core, while the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of the Type Herrscher form use the Key of Reason as their core.
The Key of Reason with skills, that is, the external Stigmata, can use a certain kind of special power.
For example, Theresa carries a Key of Reason called 'Rapier', which has the ability to fix Honkai Energy into a throwing gun, while the other two Key of Reason she carries have the effect of increasing accuracy and enhancing throwing power.
Although Freya repaired Judas' Oath for her, Theresa truly felt that the Key of Reason was more useful than the Divine Key.
At least when it comes to dealing with ordinary Honkai Beast, this thing is definitely much more effective than Judas' Oath.
There's no need to aim the thrown guns carefully, as the Key of Reason increase accuracy will help with calibration. You also don't need to worry too much about the force you use when throwing, because the Key of Reason increase throwing power will increase the throwing force of the thrown guns.
Theresa didn't quite understand the position of what force and the effect of what force. Simply put, these three Key of Reason did indeed form the function of a mobile turret, except that Theresa needed to make a throwing motion.
Penglai Si Jiuxiao is considered to have a naturally suitable physique to become Valkyrie, since Freya didn't give her any Type B antibodies or Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody.
However, with her mental strength, she can manipulate five Key of Reason simultaneously. After that, she underwent six months of training with the Alliance, and with the energy weapon tailored for her by the Alliance, there is no need to worry about her ability to protect herself.
Theresa was initially worried that Penglai Si Jiuxiao wouldn't be used to fighting, but the opponent performed even better than she had imagined.
This is understandable, after all, before Penglai Si Jiuxiao met with Bronya, Penglai Si Jiuxiao had spent several days in the ruins full of Deadman and Honkai Beast. Although she had 'lost her memory', she still had considerable skills. Theresa couldn't figure out where the other party's skills came from.
The elimination of the Honkai Beast went smoothly, but Theresa was still having a headache about how to find Bronya, who had already left, since half a year had obviously passed in this world as well.
On the other hand, Quantized Valkyrie prioritize important resources, the Quantized Valkyrie responsible for routine collection are practically digging deep into the ground.
That's right, they really dug up three feet of soil.
In order to develop Moon Civilization on the moon, Freya plans to hollow out the center of the moon and build a space inside that can provide for hundreds of millions of people.
However, the land on the moon is not suitable for plants to grow on Earth. Although Freya arranged for Kevin and Welt to secretly dig soil, it was far from enough for the Moon Civilization.
Freya didn't care what would happen to the planet that was about to enter the restart phase. Even if the damage caused by the Quantized Valkyrie was severe, it would only make the restart period longer.
At least Freya sees no hope that the people of this civilization can rebuild their homes in the wasteland, even if they eventually defeat the Herrscher of Finality and the Herrscher of Thunder, human civilization will fall into silence.
Freya didn't think the remaining survivors could support a civilization. Although there were indeed a few talented researchers among them, human civilization has never been supported by just a few talented researchers.
Even a genius like Mei can only raise the upper limit of civilization, not support the entire human civilization.
Even so, Freya could still feel their 'resistance' in this shelter.
Whether it's the traces of training, the ugly notes in the corner, or the books left behind, it's clear that the leader of this shelter has no intention of giving up.
She wasn't just fighting the Honkai for a short time; she was fighting with the idea of ensuring the continuation of human civilization.
Freya saw the remnants of their education of the younger generation in the shelter, and witnessed their struggle to not forget their original history.
As long as people remember the history of human civilization, human civilization has not completely died.
Freya witnessed this civilization struggling to pass on its torch.
"Honestly, Theresa, I'm starting to like Bronya."
Although Freya had been treated harshly by Bronya in this world because of her appearance, she now genuinely likes this girl.
Freya originally thought the other party was just struggling to survive, but she never expected that the other party would support the last human civilization.
"... Yeah, I knew you'd like Bronya."
Theresa replied with a touch of pride.
Although this world has suffered too much, there are still some people who never truly despair, and they still hold onto the belief of fighting against this shitty world.
Although this is of very good quality, it also gives Freya a bit of a headache.
"I didn't mean to praise her. Given her stubborn personality, I really don't know if I can trick her into leaving."
To be honest, if her world weren't so bad, Freya wouldn't be worried about whether her poaching efforts would be successful.
But in reality, FU had a way of calculating things out of her. Even though terraforming the moon was the Alliance's next step, and Earth was a useless but worthless resource, it didn't mean Freya was really willing to abandon Earth.
"Besides, we don't even know where she is..."
Freya sighed.
On the other hand, the Quantized Valkyrie's digging operation went very smoothly. They also managed to kill a few Honkai Beast, skinned and dismembered them to collect materials.
There are very few usable parts on Honkai Beast, but the Alliance is getting poorer and poorer, so some particularly clever researchers have come up with the idea of finding new materials from Honkai Beast.
After all, the Honkai Factor used by Fusion Warrior comes from Honkai Beast. However, the Honkai Beast DNA used by Fusion Warrior mostly comes from Emperor-class Honkai Beast. But Jackal has already proven that the strength of Honkai Beast DNA is unrelated to the Honkai Beast's level.
The key issues are the compatibility of the DNA between the Fusion Warrior and the Honkai Beast, as well as the growth ceiling of the Fusion Warrior themselves. This is also the reason why Mei later developed the Chimera Project.
Since the factors of Honkai Beast can be utilized, Honkai Beast shells or body tissues may also have other uses.
With this in mind, several researchers did indeed create Honkai weapons made from the bodies of Honkai Beast.
In that instant, Freya's mind was filled with the words "Monster Hunter".
She almost invested money to have researchers study bone and iron weapons, but thankfully she restrained herself in the end. After all, the Alliance is really poor right now. In order to develop the Moon Civilization, her own treasury has been emptied, and now she is relying on her beautiful and charming adjutant maid for support.
Although there aren't many usable parts of the Honkai Beast right now, it's still not enough research by just a few scientists.
After all, few people have paid attention to Honkai Beast in the past. Even the corpses of Honkai Beast are a source of infection. The Moon Civilization has a relatively high resistance to Honkai Energy, and the general-purpose antibody developed by Jackal has solved many problems.
Freya was greatly inspired by the people who came from Shenzhou.
For Freya, who has memories of her past life, there is a saying in her hometown, which is similar to Shenzhou, that represents her hometown's view on new species.
—Is it edible? Is it tasty? How do you eat it?
In fact, Freya did indeed have plans to put Honkai Beast on the plate.
If humans had a constitution that could make them immune to most toxins, then all the toxic creatures on Earth would probably be eaten to extinction.
Upon hearing the Quantized Valkyrie's report that she had captured several Honkai Beasts, Freya immediately contacted her cute little sister and asked her to take possession of Honkai Beast.
Frankly speaking, the League rarely encounters such weak Honkai Beast these days.
Most of the time, in order to study the nature of Honkai Beast, they have to capture Honkai Beast from the parallel worlds of the Twos.
Meanwhile, Theresa and Penglai Si Jiuxiao searched the deserted shelter again, but they found no clues about Bronya and the others' whereabouts.
"Theresa, where do you think Bronya and the others are most likely to go right now? Don't you have any suitable places?"
"Uh, yes..."
Upon hearing Freya's words, Theresa finally seemed to understand and replied.
"Changkong City! If Bronya and the others leave here, there is indeed a greater chance that they will return to Changkong City."
Once Changkong City was mentioned, Theresa seemed to open up and talk nonstop.
"The Herrscher of Thunder was originally staying at the MEI headquarters in Changkong City, but since you fought with the Herrscher of Finality and the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Thunder is likely to return to Changkong City. If Bronya and the others' target is the Herrscher of Thunder, the possibility of them going to Changkong City is very high."
Freya pondered for a moment and felt that Theresa's analysis was correct. If Bronya really intended to expel all the Herrscher from this world, then targeting lone Herrscher would be a very reasonable choice.
Even if defeating the Herrscher cannot save this civilization, for Bronya and her companions, defeating the Herrscher is the only resistance they can currently mount.
Otherwise, these rebels would really only have one path left: to live a life of idleness and waiting for death.
After confirming the target, Freya took Theresa and Penglai Si Jiuxiao directly to Changkong City.
Fortunately, the map of this world was not much different from that of her own world, Freya quickly arrived at Changkong City in this world.
However, before she and Theresa and the others even got close to Changkong City, a rather unruly Honkai Beast flapped its wings and flew towards them.
"Oh no, it's Kukulkan!"
"Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent?"
