Chapter 485

In the process of becoming Valkyrie, they also experienced many life-and-death separations, which made them hate the Herrscher even more. This is why Freya euphemistically called the Artificial Herrscher project "a plan to fight against the Herrscher usurping their power," because such a statement could divert the Valkyrie's attention.

For most Valkyrie, their homeland, their family, their comrades, the seniors who took care of them, the classmates they grew up with, and the juniors they watched grow up, all died in battle against the Honkai.

Herrscher are the apostle of Honkai. Even if the resurrected Sirin is a simple little girl, as long as she bears the identity of the Second Herrscher, she is destined to suffer the resentment of everyone.

Freya politely declined Mei's offer of the Second Herrscher, Sirin. Perhaps Theresa and some others didn't care about Sirin's arrival, but only Aurora in the entire Alliance could be genuinely happy about her arrival.

It's a pity to reject the Second Herrscher, Sirin. However, converting Welt Joyce into an ally would at least boost the morale of some of the older Anti-Entropy members of the organization.

The current alliance has long provided the older generation of Anti-Entropy with more advanced life-extending technology. Although for the Fusion Warrior of the Previous Civilization, life-extending was just a side effect of the Fusion Warrior and the Chimera Project, a slight modification could make it a safer life-extending technology.

Although Freya had previously worried that the misuse of life-extending technology would damage the precious brains of the elderly Planck, she had no reason not to provide it to the elderly in Anti-Entropy now that a safer and less side-effect-free technology was available.

After agreeing on the terms with Mei, Freya shared the matter with Einstein and the others.

As for when to plant a Distorted Space on Earth, we still need to wait for Mei to set up the site first so that we can observe the changes in the Distorted Space.

Of course, Freya will personally pick up Welt Joyce when the time comes.

In the governors' chat group, Theresa and the others, who were just surprised by Kiana's enormous size, were now extremely astonished by Freya's message.

Meanwhile, the rulers who advocated for Anti-Entropy were all delighted. Even Einstein, who was usually taciturn, sent a smiley face emoji at this moment.

From a certain perspective, Welt Joyce was indeed a great inspiration to Einstein.

Freya suddenly thought of Tesla, whose IQ had dropped, and considering that Tesla might remain mentally impaired for another three years, she nervously left a message in the chat group.

"Sister Einstein, don't end up like Sister Tesla, going through a three-year period of mental lapse."

Tesla, which was mocked for being stupid for three years, immediately responded with an exclamation mark.

Welt felt incredibly embarrassed, after all, he was the one who had made Tesla, this great genius, stupid for three years.

Others watched the show with amusement, or sent smiley faces. Even Kevin, who was usually quiet, had few friends, and was currently in heat, sent a thumbs-up emoji.

He clearly liked the atmosphere in the core circle of the alliance. After all, people who were too concerned about interests would not be selected here. Rather than selecting governors based on ability, Freya valued personality more. The ability to handle government affairs could be cultivated, and experienced people could mentor newcomers, but if the personality was too extreme, it would indeed be easy to cause problems. Moreover, one could not only have a calm personality, but a lively, sunny and optimistic personality was what allowed them to withstand the pressure.

Freya had seen too many Valkyrie drive themselves to the brink of ruin. In fact, even she couldn't expect all Valkyrie to obey her orders unconditionally. Valkyrie strongly resisted the addition of Anti-Entropy and World Serpent, and without exception, Freya removed them from their important positions under various Valkyrie, assigning them some less important retirement roles.

They do receive the benefits they are entitled to, but this prevents them from creating conflict within the organization.

Freya can indeed fall into irrational emotional outbursts when it comes to Valkyrie, but she also understands the importance of protecting them with reason.

Don't assume that Freya dislikes them by removing them from their important positions; quite the opposite is true. Only by doing so can she protect their lives.

The alliance is not Freya's alliance alone. Even if Theresa is kind enough, even if Freya is biased towards the Valkyrie, even if Tesla and the others value human life more, the Valkyrie who squeezed out the higher-ups to rise to power are not naive. The more Valkyrie has survived the battlefield, the more she understands the danger of a bad teammate.

Theresa and Freya's kindness only emboldened the Valkyrie to become even more ruthless.

No organization is without flaws; even Freya made mistakes.

Freya knew about her problem in this regard, so she never wanted to be an emperor or a consul. Just as she denied that Mei's personality was unsuitable for the top of an organization, she also denied that she was suitable for the top of an organization.

Of course, Freya's toughness during wartime also had its wartime benefits; sometimes compromises were for a better future.

Just like the Alliance is now developing the Moon Civilization on the moon, this is also a good thing. Don't be fooled by the fact that Freya is compromising with the powerful Abyss Civilization. The Abyss Civilization, which has taken over Earth, also faces many problems. And once the other side gets Earth, their target will no longer be the Moon Civilization with only ten million people.

Even if the Abyss Civilization really does devour the Moon Civilization, it will only increase the number of ordinary Honkai Beast by ten million. The more than one million people, mainly from the Alliance, will immediately retreat to another world. Since they cannot catch the real target, there is even less reason for the Abyss Civilization and the Moon Civilization to fight.

War is merely a necessary means to achieve an objective.

Neither FU nor Freya mind maintaining a friendly relationship with each other, especially since FU is indeed good friends with Kevin, SU, Fu Hua, and others in the League.

FU never hid his purpose, so he would naturally tell Kevin whenever he asked.

He had the ability to revive the original Himeko, but he chose to revive her as a Humanoid Honkai Beast because he knew that even the Honkai Consciousness of this world could not protect an ordinary person forever.

Although Himeko was considered a powerful warrior in the Fire Moth organization of the Previous Civilization, she was not even a Fusion Warrior. She may have greater strength and agility than most ordinary people, but she still could not escape the limitations of humanity.

Human beings have their limits.

Therefore, FU chose to make Himeko inhuman.

Even so, it doesn't mean Himeko can still survive.

For human civilizations that possess the power to resist Honkai but must also correct themselves, the Imaginary Tree will send out Imaginary Tree Divine Remains.

At that point, it won't be a selection process, but a complete annihilation.

This is like civilizations that failed to pass the selection process but survived by cheating; what awaits them is endless destruction.

The Abyss Civilization can be considered a byproduct of FU's resurrection of Himeko. To be honest, if Otto had such abilities, probably no one would blame him.

Otto is disliked not because he persecuted many people, nor because he had no interest or time to persecute others, but because he always acted like a master strategist, yet none of his plans ever actually came to fruition, resulting in the unfortunate victims of his persecution.

If he successfully resurrects Kallen and then honestly fights against the Honkai alongside humanity, who would oppose his previous persecution?

In fact, since they are not related, it is the right thing to do to sacrifice a minority for the majority. As for those who have objections, they should also bear the responsibility, since they are powerless to change anything.

If reviving Kallen could make Otto wholeheartedly contribute to the fight against the Honkai, not only would Freya support Otto, but even Welt and Tesla would remain silent about Otto's past misdeeds.

However, it's no wonder that someone who always has a plan on their face, but ends up leaving others to clean up their messes, is disliked.

Although Otto and FU are similar types of people, FU is obviously Otto and more determined Otto, which is why he assimilated the Honkai Consciousness with his own will.

However, simply reviving Himeko is far from enough for FU. If they cannot fully grasp the Honkai mechanism, then the Abyss Civilization will also face the selection process of Honkai.

The Abyss Civilization is Honkai Civilization, but it still needs to go through the screening process of Honkai. Even though the Abyss Civilization is a 'company' supported by higher authorities, these higher authorities are just one of the thousands upon thousands of worlds on the Imaginary Tree.

FU naturally set its sights on the People from the Sky were on the Whitelist.

FU once proposed to fight against the People from the Sky together, Freya naturally agreed to their request.

A few days after Freya brought back the enormous Kiana, many Quantized Valkyrie returned with a large amount of resources, and some brought back a few survivors.

That world, about to be restarted, had almost no survivors. The sky was covered by dark clouds, and even during the day, no sunlight could penetrate. Honkai Beast roamed everywhere.

A few days later, FU requested a new meeting with Freya, this time to discuss how the two families could join forces to fight against the People from the Sky the Hunting Civilization.

It is precisely because cooperation is possible that annexing the Moon Civilization is meaningless.

After all, the two sides' executives were old classmates, and every meeting felt like a class reunion. By the way, Freya had prepared a lot of snacks for the previous meeting, and she was eating sunflower seeds while talking with FU, while FU only had a small cake in front of Sirin.

Freya naturally agreed to FU's request. The next day, at the prepared venue, she brought all Seven Archons and people with the authority of the ruling families, and also had the kitchen prepare a large amount of food and drink.

As the screen on one side of the wall slowly displayed the image, on the other side of the screen, in the hall of the counterfeit Hueco Mundo, a very large hot pot with two broths was placed in front of the counterfeit Blue Da Fu and his counterfeit Ten Blades.

Sirin had just eaten the chili pepper, was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue and looked quite pitiful. Herrscher of Consciousness, on the other hand, was like a child who hadn't grown up, constantly stirring the pot with chopsticks. She was immediately slapped hard on the back of the head by the Herrscher of Domination next to her, clearly being taught a lesson for not playing with food.

Upon seeing this rather unseemly scene, Theresa and Welt immediately understood why there was so much delicious food in front of them.

"Hey Kevin, is that guy always this frivolous? I thought it was just us around here..."

Halfway through his sentence, Welt suddenly realized that Freya seemed to be the reincarnation of the other party. Although he didn't know why the other party could be reincarnated after assimilating with the Honkai Consciousness, Freya and the other party were essentially the same person.

So it wasn't just me who was being inappropriate; it turns out the other person was the one who was inappropriate all along.

"Cough cough..."

Kevin, who knew what kind of person FU was, didn't argue. He had already guessed that this would happen, especially after the last meeting. Freya had prepared many fruit platters, and those who hadn't spoken were just sitting there eating melon seeds and watching the show. How could that not provoke FU on the other side?

Of course, the other party's counterattack was also unexpected; it turned out to be a hot pot with two separate broths.

568. I just wanted to say, you were so outgoing when you were little!

No one could have imagined that the Abyss Civilization, which would conquer countless realms and instill fear in countless civilizations, and the Moon Civilization, which would travel among countless civilizations to assist them in fighting against natural disasters, would, in such a relaxed environment of eating and drinking, discuss jointly fighting against the People from the Sky the Hunting Civilization.

Freya ate macarons and sipped her black tea while looking at the screen on the other side of the wall, and suddenly felt a sense of defeat.

"I... I didn't expect it to be hot pot..."

"..."

Kevin didn't even bother to comment on Freya's focus. He looked at his old friend and wife and said...

"FU, Mei, you sent a message yesterday saying that today's topic is to jointly fight against the People from the Sky. So how do you plan to fight against the People from the Sky?"

"Although many parallel worlds have similar hunting civilizations, the People from the Sky Civilization is one of the few hunting civilizations that is on the Whitelist, and therefore unique. So all the People from the Sky we encounter in parallel worlds are actually part of this huge hunting civilization."

"..."

Upon hearing FU's explanation, Freya realized that she had underestimated the terrifying nature of this hunting civilization.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is indeed the case. The People from the Sky Civilization is a Whitelist hunting civilization, and therefore will not be subject to the Honkai screening. With the technology to cross parallel worlds, they have long since expanded their hunting range to a large number of parallel universes.

However, if there is a civilization in a parallel universe that possesses the same power as the People from the Sky Civilization, then war will naturally break out between the two hunting civilizations. Two tigers cannot share one mountain. For a hunting civilization capable of traversing worlds, one hunting ground is insufficient to meet their needs.

Therefore, the people who are about to encounter the People from the Sky, as well as the People from the Sky in two parallel worlds, are actually facing the same enemy.

However, what she encountered in the parallel world of Two was a scout sent by People from the Sky Civilization.

The People from the Sky Civilization is a powerful hunting civilization. Its hunting grounds cover many parallel worlds, but not all of them. For example, there is the parallel world that Freya named the Light Chaser. Although Freya brought Theresa and Bronya from that parallel world, as well as the enormous Kiana, back to this world, it doesn't mean that she has completely stopped paying attention to the situation in that parallel world.

Freya's resource recovery team, dispatched to that parallel world, collected a large amount of documents and data. However, Freya did not find any records of extraterrestrial life in the data records of the already destroyed Schicksal and Anti-Entropy Organization in that world.

Organizations like the Schicksal and the Anti-Entropy Organization in this world have recorded some situations. The Anti-Entropy Organization has relatively detailed records of its battles with the People from the Sky, which also involve another civilization.

It was a civilization that had fled, and the situation involving this civilization happened to be related to the cause of death of Himeko's father, Muryōtō Ryūsuke.

FU gave a general explanation of the hunting grounds of the People from the Sky, making everyone understand how terrifying this civilization, capable of hunting Honkai Energy was.

"The power of those in the People from the Sky is something we cannot contend with now, but of course, they are not so powerful that they are insurmountable—"

At this point, FU didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"The resources of the People from the Sky are actually very limited. Even though the technology developed using Honkai Energy People from the Sky has given them the power to fight in the universe and in parallel worlds, their resources are not so plentiful that they can squander them at will. Therefore, their search for worlds where Honkai Energy is born relies on some kind of satellite probe and a small advance force."

"And their power is indeed not strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have disguised their probes as satellites. Once they detect a civilization that they cannot defeat, this hunting civilization might keep the probes stationary and let them fall into a pre-set sun, thus destroying their own traces."

"It is precisely because the People from the Sky do not possess the power to disregard all civilizations that they hunt Honkai Energy with great caution, much like seasoned hunters hiding in a dark forest, carefully advancing with their rifles while cautiously scouting the locations of other hunters."

Upon hearing FU say this, Tesla, whose IQ was estimated to be three years behind, gasped for breath, then accidentally choked on the biscuit in his mouth and could only gulp down a large cup of pure natural coconut juice.

I don't know where she heard that drinking more white liquid would increase milk production. Perhaps because she felt that her breasts were too small to feed her child, and her IQ had dropped significantly, Tesla actually believed that nonsense.

Of course, even someone with normal intelligence like Tesla might believe such nonsense.

Looking at his wife's silly yet adorable appearance, Welt felt both proud and embarrassed, while the gazes from the research departments were particularly stinging.

Even Freya couldn't help but give Welt a look that said, "You'll figure it out yourself."

On the other side of the screen, Mei sent a look that seemed to say, "Why not use artificial breeding to have one?"

Incidentally, Mei's gaze contained so much information that few present could comprehend it.

However, SU, who was more familiar with her style, and Einstein, whose personality was probably similar to hers, understood the message conveyed in her gaze.

Freya temporarily suppressed her desire to tease the naive young woman and focused her attention on FU, who had just been explaining things while eating hot pot.

Although the main consciousness resides in a higher-dimensional spacetime, the Humanoid Honkai Beast body that can be remotely controlled currently possesses all the functions of a normal human.

Speaking of gossip, Freya was actually more curious about whether the other person had confessed to Himeko.

According to SU, this knock-off Blue is a complete jerk because of Himeko, and Himeko's death caused him to completely break with his best friend Kevin.

He's the kind of friend who would stab a friend in the back for a woman.

Although the atmosphere doesn't seem like they're discussing serious matters, the two sides are indeed discussing important issues, namely, a meeting to decide the future of the Abyss Civilization and the Moon Civilization.

To continue fighting? Or to cooperate?

Freya was certain that if the Moon Civilization refused to join forces with the Abyss Civilization to fight against the People from the Sky, and even intended to watch the show from the sidelines, it would definitely provoke a fierce counterattack from FU.

FU is not the kind of person who would allow unstable partners to exist around him.

If he were a demon king in an RPG game, he would definitely destroy all the villages related to the hero before the hero is born, and after the hero is born, he would definitely not send his underlings to their deaths one by one, but would immediately send out his four Heavenly Kings.

How could FU possibly abandon the Moon Civilization and foolishly try to steal the Whitelist position from the People from the Sky? Besides, with the current strength of the Abyss Civilization, it is simply not enough to take on the People from the Sky alone.

Therefore, the Abyss Civilization only had two choices for the Moon Civilization.

They can either fight together against the People from the Sky, and if they can't win, they'll die together; if they can win, they'll get rich together. Or they can start a war now and let the surviving civilization get a beating from the People from the Sky.

The so-called beating was, of course, the final layer of armor... cough cough, I misspoke. Neither the Abyss Civilization nor the Moon Civilization that survived could possibly possess the power to fight against the People from the Sky alone.

"The People from the Sky are strong, but they aren't actually that much stronger. However, there's very little information available. Since this civilization is unique, what we've encountered is merely their vanguard. How many of their main forces are there? How strong are they?"

"Even the People from the Sky in our world might just be a small branch of that hunting civilization. Leaving aside the full power of the People from the Sky, none of us know just how large their territory is in this parallel universe."

"Perhaps our world is the one they are targeting for invasion, so all the star systems outside the Milky Way are their territory. Or perhaps the People from the Sky in this world are just natives of a similar level to us..."

Freya offered her opinion to FU, who was currently eating meat with a satisfied expression.

Although she was indeed curious whether FU and Himeko had gotten together, she was a completely different person in this life from her previous one. Even though she did have feelings for Himeko, who looked the same as her, she ultimately fell for the maid who had always been by her side.

Of course, who could resist such a curvaceous, sensual maid who understands you perfectly, likes to flirt with you from time to time, and occasionally offers some enticing perks?!
