Not a Lack of Honkai Energy, but Far Too Little

571. It's not that there's no Honkai Energy, but rather that there's far too little.

The photos and videos taken by the Valkyrie arrived in the parallel world were projected onto the wall by the virtual machine, drawing the attention of everyone in the conference hall who were eating snacks, cakes, and drinking soda and juice.

The city ruins projected onto the wall, along with the apocalyptic gray sky, were not as dire as one might imagine.

To be precise, it falls somewhere between the parallel world of the Light Chaser and the two parallel worlds.

"Is there absolutely no Honkai Energy?"

"It's not that there's no Honkai Energy, but rather that there's too little of it."

In response to Freya's question, the Valkyrie on the other end of the communication immediately replied.

It can be said that in such an environment, the combat power of Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior would be greatly affected, especially the slowdown in Honkai Energy recovery. This also means that if Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior consume too much Honkai Energy in battle, it will affect their combat power.

Fortunately, what was deployed to the parallel world this time were the Herrscher-style Valkyrie and the Herrscher Fusion Warrior, both of whom can recover by drawing Honkai Energy from the Imaginary Space using the Key of Reason.

Although this method is more likely to harm the body, the bodies they use are Quantum Body, so even if they are killed, it won't be a problem.

With useful 'resurrection' methods, Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior, whose nature is similar to that of players, are not worried about dying quickly, but rather about dying without purpose.

They could immediately abandon their current Quantum Body, but for now, the information about this parallel world is more important to them.

At least from what they saw, it was indeed a pretty terrible world.

Although it is essentially somewhere between the middle and late stages, the fact that there is almost no Honkai Energy on the planet makes it seem like it has entered a reboot phase.

"It seems that FU has been hiding a lot from us."

Freya was very curious about the parallel world on the other side. If she hadn't been certain that she was on the last list of people, Freya might have been eager to go to that parallel world.

"You guys gather intelligence first, just like the battle plan we formulated a few days ago. Go and learn about that parallel world, and then establish cooperative relations with the local regime."

Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior with human appearances are indeed more suitable for communication and cooperation than Honkai Beast and Humanoid Honkai Beast.

"Yes, Lord Freya!"

"Learn!"

The Valkyrie, having received Freya's orders, responded and then found a relatively secluded spot in the city ruins to serve as their temporary base in this parallel world.

Although it was just a temporary base, the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior put a lot of effort into building it. Even if they weren't hedonists, they still chose to treat themselves well.

Unfortunately, two male members of the Fusion Warrior were relegated to menial labor, though they didn't seem to be unwilling to do so.

Perhaps because yuri (lesbian) relationships are more prevalent among Valkyrie, most male Fusion Warrior chose female Fusion Warrior as their partners.

However, there are also Fusion Warrior who pursue the Valkyrie, and both men and women do.

Collecting resources from the ruins and converting them into basic materials is a function of a special type of Key of Reason. This special type of Key of Reason is a product recently created by Einstein and Planck, and is suitable for resource collection and construction.

The Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior of today are like characters in a sandbox game, using tools to collect resources from city ruins, then converting them into basic materials through the Key of Reason, and finally assembling them into new tools and devices.

In Freya's words, it was an invention that combined a sci-fi version of Minecraft and Red Alert. Although Tesla was the one who brought this inspiration to life, she was given a low IQ buff after completing a few basic functions. In the end, Einstein and Planck helped to supplement some functions. This made Freya somewhat want to complain that Welt's sperm was too vigorous. His physical condition had only been declining for a short time when Tesla successfully got pregnant. Of course, Welt's hard work was also indispensable behind the scenes.

With this special model of the Key of Reason, it becomes much easier for the Valkyrie to collect resources or create temporary bases on-site.

This special model of the Key of Reason is also a tool used by the Alliance to terraform the moon. Freya did not send out so many Valkyrie because terraforming the moon would require too many people. Similarly, many of the more than ten million survivors are still unable to adapt to their new lives.

After all, the so-called Moon Civilization exchanges living resources based on labor. Although children are treated well, the internal chaos is not so easy to quell.

Sometimes, even for the most trivial reasons, large-scale arguments can break out.

Many trivial matters that Valkyrie found utterly boring nearly resulted in the death of a survivor, which made Freya extremely cautious in controlling the survivor.

Freya, who possessed the ability to brainwash, ultimately chose not to use her power.

She could certainly use her power to make those survivors entrust their hearts to her, so that such survivors would no longer feel sadness, but Freya had no intention of abusing her brainwashing abilities in her own world.

In particular, she almost destroyed their parallel world.

Although Freya knew very well that it wasn't entirely her fault, but rather the fault of those humans who were trapped in the multiple consciousness worlds.

The multi-layered world of consciousness allows those who strive to obtain what they desire, possesses the most evil city that ensnares those who only wish to indulge in desires, and also exists a peaceful place where one can do nothing.

It was a near-perfect world. When effort could be rewarded, everyone would rather live in that world than in the reality of effort not being rewarded.

This is also why many people who have returned to reality choose to fall asleep again.

Compared to the hopeless real world, the dreamlike world of consciousness has everything, including the things one desires most.

However, without brainwashing, those who are unaware of the current situation will not listen to any advice.

Some people even think they are superior because they are from a Fortune 500 company, so why should they have to work with the common people to get their living supplies?

Welt simply saved lives, never considering what kind of lives he was saving.

The Moon Civilization is still a burden, making Freya realize that she cannot rely on Moon Civilization assistance in the short term. This makes her cherish the Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior in the Alliance even more.

The former can mostly be described as researchers and logistical support personnel, while the latter are mostly a group of hardworking laborers.

Is Freya really unable to afford to send troops?

No.

More often than not, it's unnecessary.

Sending only a few Valkyrie squad and Fusion Warrior squads in the first batch was Freya's trap to send the wrong message to the Abyss Civilization.

"This is bad, we've really entered a parallel world."

"Hey, this isn't my first time. I've been to that world of the Light Chaser. That world is even more desolate. It's said to be in its final stages, with both Honkai Energy and Honkai Beast starting to decrease."

"Does this mean that the world is also nearing its end?"

"No way, one of the missions this time is to defeat the vanguard of the invaders who have invaded this parallel world Earth. Would the People from the Sky Civilization act for a planet without Honkai Energy?"

Some Valkyrie are guessing. Some Valkyrie are thinking.

At present, they do not have much information about the People from the Sky, even though the Anti-Entropy organization and SU have provided some information about the vanguard of the People from the Sky.

However, not much information about the People from the Sky Civilization in their world has been leaked.

Fortunately, some of the first batch of Valkyrie possessed infiltration and investigation skills, Freya waited at the lunar base for two days.

After sinking the lunar city underground, she set up the only exit underground in the lunar base.

There are no visible signs of human intervention on the moon's surface now. Even the lunar bases have mostly sunk underground, and those exposed on the surface have been heavily camouflaged.

On the surface, the moon appears to be just an ordinary moon.

Freya naturally reasoned that if the People from the Sky Civilization of the original world suddenly invaded Earth, their attention would likely be drawn to the Honkai Energy on Earth first, while the Moon Civilization hiding on the moon would naturally be able to avoid danger.

The two-day wait was well worth it.

"Tell me, what have you found out?"

Although the second batch of Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior is about to depart, the first batch of Valkyrie still has a greater advantage overall.

Although they all report their daily investigation results, they did find quite a bit of information related to this world today.

"Yes, Lord Freya, the world government of this world is controlled by the Security Council, but the Grand Bishop of Schicksal in this world is Lady Theresa."

"Theresa?"

Freya repeated it with a hint of doubt.

"Ah?"

Theresa, who looked somewhat dim-witted, instinctively replied.

"It's none of your business. I just didn't expect Theresa from a parallel universe to have such potential."

Freya firmly believed that Theresa was capable of becoming Grand Bishop. Not only her, but anyone in the world who knew Theresa was eventually captivated by her charm.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Theresa asked, looking a little dazed, with some macaron crumbs still stuck to the corners of her mouth.

For the Valkyrie, macarons and muffins, along with delicious black tea, make for the perfect afternoon tea combination.

Even though life on the moon became somewhat difficult, Freya still managed to satisfy the Valkyrie's sweet tooth.

After all, at this point, this can be considered a way to maintain morale.

"Go on."

Freya stopped watching Theresa's adorable reaction and instead turned her attention back to the communication screen projected on the wall.

Although there are no sunflower seeds today, Freya has prepared plenty of fresh strawberries, as well as macarons and pancakes, which are the Valkyrie' favorites.

Incidentally, although Tesla is not Valkyrie, she also enjoys the Valkyrie's afternoon tea pairings.

Einstein's method of simply adding glucose cubes directly to lemon tea was so simple and direct that it was admired by many researchers.

"Yes, according to the investigation, most of the history of this world is very close to the history of parallel world number one."

Next, the Valkyrie recounted the history that Freya was more familiar with, which was almost identical to the information FU had provided earlier, proving to some extent that FU did not intend to use that world to harm them.

However, FU clearly concealed information about the Honkai Energy of that world.

When Honkai occurs, Honkai Energy directly permeates the world through Imaginary Space, and the intensity of the permeating Honkai Energy increases according to the level of civilization's development.

Therefore, the more powerful a civilization becomes, the more ferocious the corresponding Honkai disaster will be.

Man-made disasters, natural calamities, diseases, and finally, the Honkai Beast and Herrscher —the calamities of Honkai gradually escalate.

This pattern is very consistent with the research findings of scientists. In fact, Freya also experienced an upgraded version of man-made disasters and natural calamities, new diseases, and Honkai Beast and Herrscher also became new Honkai Life, eventually creating a Honkai Civilization.

That disaster seemed to be directed at the alliance that had become stronger.

It's as if Honkai treated the Alliance as an independent civilization and gave it a completely new trial.

Of course, these are all just speculations. After all, the disasters caused by the Honkai are unpredictable. Sometimes it's the Black Death virus that sweeps across Europe, sometimes it's monsters that wreak havoc on villages like natural disasters, and sometimes it's madmen with inexplicable ambitions.

Is it very close to the first parallel universe?

"Yes, in this parallel world, Miss Kiana is also a clone K423. At the same time, she became Herrscher Transformation at Schicksal Headquarters, becoming the Second Herrscher, Herrscher of the Void, and triggering a new Great Honkai, causing the destruction of many cities."

Hearing this, Freya could roughly imagine the disaster situation in other areas, after all, their parallel world had just experienced something like this not long ago.

"There isn't much information after that, but about eight or nine years ago, the warriors of the Schicksal sealed more than 90% of the Honkai Energy in this world on the moon, which is why Honkai Energy on Earth has become so scarce."

"I see."

Freya's eyes lit up; the reason for the reduction in Honkai Energy was not just that.

Even if Honkai Energy were sealed on the moon today, the Honkai Energy would continue to increase unless this civilization stopped developing.

The most crucial element is the medium that seals the Honkai Energy.

Freya didn't think the moon was a natural sealing place, and she asked curiously.

"Does Raiden Mei exist in that world? Is that Kiana still around? By the way, does the real Kiana exist in that world? If not, never mind..."

The Valkyrie of the Alliance now generally know that Otto cloned Kiana, and they also know that their beloved Kiana Apocalypse is a clone, K422. However, this does not diminish their love for Freya. If Schicksal and the Alliance did not need clones for experiments, making it impossible to convict Otto based on human rights, a group of Valkyrie would be willing to vote Otto guilty.

It must be said that Otto's methods were very clever, and there were not many people who truly resented him; perhaps many Valkyrie even admired him.

Kiana isn't a crime; after all, when someone is shameless, they can use the noble cause of saving the world as a pretext.

For example, if one Kiana has the ability to save one-third of humanity, then cloning several Kiana would give them the ability to save all of humanity.

Freya was speechless at his shameless behavior.

The Valkyrie on the other end of the communication fell into a long silence, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

That's right, the Valkyrie who communicated with the Alliance's higher-ups discovered the truth: K423 was sealed on the moon, along with 99% of the Honkai Energy in this world.

However, the stain on her reputation has not been completely washed away; it's just that the current Schicksal is downplaying her negative reputation.

572. Just don't talk nonsense.

Even for the Valkyrie, who are quite skilled at gathering intelligence, the amount of information they could gather in three days was already at its limit. The situation of other organizations, such as the World Serpent Organization and the Anti-Entropy Organization, was not very clear, but there was a theory that the Anti-Entropy Organization had been absorbed by the Schicksal of this world.

"That's all the information I have, Lord Freya."

"Okay, thank you, Kleya."

Freya remembers the names of each Valkyrie and their general experiences. While she doesn't know things like how they changed their bank card passwords, most Valkyrie would tell Freya as soon as they encountered troubles.

Freya occasionally did some nun-like work, willing to accept the confessions of the Valkyrie and listen to their prayers.

"Keep gathering intelligence; hopefully you'll get some new information tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Freya."
