Chapter 493
Frankly speaking, the People from the Sky Civilization was merely a victim misled by the Honkai. Of course, the way they plundered and slaughtered other civilizations also demonstrated the brutality of the People from the Sky Civilization.
Even without the Honkai, the People from the Sky Civilization would have developed into a hunting civilization. It's just that those chosen by the Honkai possessed a technological level far exceeding that of other civilizations.
Freya said no more. She ordered the airship to return, and then she and the Valkyrie on board underwent quantum transformation. Afterward, they all appeared on the ground.
It's nothing much, just jumping off the airship after quantization. In fact, there's no need to jump at all. In the quantized state, Freya and the others directly passed through the bottom plate of the airship and fell straight down from the sky.
In this state, Freya and others had neither the concept of weight nor the concept of mass.
The so-called quantization is to change them from their original definite state to an indefinite state. Without an observer, it is impossible to determine what state they are in.
Simply put, once they enter quantum form, they can disappear from the sight of others.
"I was worried that even after landing safely, I would suddenly penetrate the ground and get stuck underground."
"Lord Freya, please rest assured that even if you are stuck underground, you can return to the surface through quantumization."
"Quantization is invincible."
"Once you enter a state of uncertainty, you become immune to all attacks."
Upon hearing Freya's words, the Valkyrie immediately shared their opinions.
After all, these Valkyrie have extensive experience using the Quantum Phantom System, unlike Freya, who is only using it for the second time.
It is precisely because quantization can switch between deterministic and indeterminate states that even Valkyrie have never been exposed to infiltration and assassination can become top-notch agents.
The Valkyrie, who are already skilled in assassination and infiltration, can each become a Level 10 agent or the King of Agents.
At this moment, Freya and the Valkyrie appeared and disappeared like ghosts, passing through the blockade on the ground of Saint-Fontaine and successfully entering the interior of Saint-Fontaine.
Although the Valkyrie were mentally prepared, they were still stunned by the cruel scene before them when they entered with Freya.
An unknown behemoth floats in the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun painting the sky crimson, the glow of the sunset shimmering at the edge of the strange floating object.
"Your Saintess Lord, something has happened."
"Lord Freya, why can't we get out?"
The sound behind her made Freya turn around, only to see several Valkyrie pressed against some invisible barrier. Whether it was the previously blocked electronic signals or the current state of being able to enter but not leave, it all meant that someone was hiding this city, completely isolating it from the outside world.
It could be People from the Sky, or it could be another culprit.
In any case, the culprit behind the city's strange changes is most likely People from the Sky.
"It's not like we're filming 'WandaVision.' By the way, Bishop Theresa said that she recently sent the third squad of Schicksal. Let's try to find them first. According to the previous grouping, the second squad is responsible for gathering intelligence, the third squad is responsible for finding a temporary base, and the first squad is coming with me."
Freya had barely finished speaking when she immediately reminded her.
"By the way, don't die easily. If you die in this world, it's difficult for your memories to be transferred back to your body. Of course, the fact that you won't die even if you're missing half of your body is a great advantage of the Quantum Body."
The fact that she has no vital points is enough to reduce the Valkyrie's mortality rate, not to mention that she is also immune to all attacks through quantumization.
"Yes."
"Receive."
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, the thirty-odd Valkyrie quickly split into three teams. Freya immediately led one of the teams away. Although she now has short legs, she can use all the Herrscher powers, and even without awakening, she can still draw upon a portion of them.
With the blessing of the Wind Law Power, Freya's squad's agility increased by 50%. The Valkyrie's own physical attributes, combined with the blessing of the power of wind, allowed them to ignore all obstacles and even perform actions that defied the laws of physics, such as double jumps in mid-air.
Freya and her group had only gone a short distance when they encountered a small number of mysterious creatures.
"A new type of Honkai Beast?"
"It shouldn't be..."
"The limb structure is similar to that of primates, I don't know if it can be dissected."
What's on its head?
The sudden appearance of the mysterious creature sparked a discussion among the Valkyrie. Freya had seen this type of creature before when she saw through the disguise; it was common in Saint-Fontaine.
"It should be the basic soldier unit of the People from the Sky, or maybe the so-called engineers. You two test each other's strength first."
Freya immediately assigned two Valkyrie to attack these mechanical lifeforms.
577. Do you know my mother?
The two Valkyrie named by Freya immediately engaged the mysterious creature in battle.
Although the Valkyrie can only possess 70% of their original strength, the current Valkyrie of the Alliance are already quite strong. Even without the buff from the Key of Reason, they possess strength surpassing that of the Schicksal era.
Of course, if the league didn't have such strong capabilities, FU wouldn't have had so much room to maneuver.
Normally, the intensity of Honkai corresponds to the level of civilization. Given the Alliance's development speed, it's impossible for Honkai to catch up in a short time. Moreover, Freya has reduced the global Honkai Energy intensity by recycling Honkai Energy, creating an environment unsuitable for high-level Honkai Beast.
All I can say is that at that time, FU was on the fifth floor.
Her reaction time, speed, and strength surpassed those of the Valkyrie of the Schicksal era, easily defeating more than a dozen mysterious creatures.
"What is this? It feels like something mechanical..."
After the battle, the Valkyrie investigated the remains of the mysterious creature.
"An unfamiliar creature, yet hostile; are these the People from the Sky?"
"Lord Freya said before that this is a basic unit, which means there will be stronger combat units?"
The Valkyrie asked with great curiosity, because due to the Valkyrie community, many Valkyrie knew that the enemy they were about to face was the People from the Sky Civilization.
However, the exact level of People from the Sky Civilization and their unique characteristics remain unknown, as there is very little relevant information available.
Freya approached and began investigating the monster, whose limbs resembled those of a primate. The two Valkyrie, eager to impress her, used a little more force, leaving the mysterious creature with no intact remains.
"It seems there are no nerves or tendons, and the mechanism of their activity needs to be studied... Oh well, these basic units are everywhere. We can collect one or two samples when we leave."
Enemies that only use their forepaws for monotonous attacks are not worth investigating.
The Valkyrie, who obeyed Freya's orders, didn't take the remains to heart. After a small-scale conflict, they roughly figured out the combat capabilities of this basic unit.
Besides, there were many strange crystals along the way. Freya had several Valkyrie collect some as samples before continuing onward.
Their goal is to find the recently lost Schicksal Third Squad, as well as Welt Young, who disappeared even earlier.
Of course, as the second First Herrscher, Welt himself has rich combat experience and is not some little princess who was captured.
Rather than assuming he was waiting for rescue, it's more likely that his disappearance was simply a cover for his own whereabouts, allowing him to secretly investigate clues.
After all, he also has a Welt Young in his own world, and even though he has become a doting father, his style has not changed much.
"Lord Freya, the red crystals have a very weak Honkai Energy reaction."
"But the reaction is too weak; it doesn't seem like Honkai crystal."
The Valkyrie, having collected some of the crystals, immediately replied.
The device in the Valkyrie's hand is also a product of projection. Since the Valkyrie Armor and regular clothing can also be projected, as long as the Valkyrie is fully armed for a certain period of time, and then the projection of that period of time is pulled out from the Sea of Quantum through the Quantum Phantom System, the fully armed Valkyrie in the quantum projection state can be obtained.
Of course, in this quantum state, both the clothing and the Valkyrie Armor are considered to be bound to the projection, so only the person in question can use the weapon's function.
Since it was just a projection, data transmission was not possible. The Valkyrie noted down the parameters and will enter them into a document after returning to the logistics base.
Freya continued forward with the Valkyrie, and soon encountered units floating in the air.
This time, the enemy is an aerial unit that looks like an octopus. Its four tubes, like octopus tentacles, sway from side to side, seemingly patrolling along a fixed route.
"A new enemy?"
"It looks like it has surveillance capabilities."
"That pipe is really thick... thicker than the thing my senior and I used."
"Shut up."
"Well!!"
"..."
"Take it down."
Freya covered her face, both laughing and crying. After all, Valkyrie don't have penises, and sometimes they do need some toys to liven things up. Of course, Freya felt that it was better to pretend she didn't hear him at this moment.
The Valkyrie who silenced the outspoken Valkyrie was none other than the other's senior.
"Hehe~"
The Valkyrie was being scolded, stuck out her tongue and pretended to be cute, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all.
That candid behavior made others blush, seemingly confirming the saying that as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.
Several air units were quickly shot down by the Valkyrie.
Because it was eliminated so quickly, there was no chance to observe its attack patterns.
As for the outspoken Valkyrie, she was chased and beaten by her senior after the battle, and that senior was clearly the most embarrassed person.
Of course, while she's called a senior, she's actually a classmate of Freya's from the same year.
If Freya hadn't intervened, she might have ended up dying together with that reckless junior.
Using her Quantum Body to perish together is a minor matter; Freya is more worried that after the other party wakes up, she will run to perish together with her junior's true form.
Even though the probability of transmitting memories across worlds is very low, there is still a certain probability.
However, their investigation team hadn't gone far when they encountered a new group of mysterious creatures. Just like Freya had seen when she saw through the disguise, there were too many such basic units in this city.
Freya, who originally did not intend to make a move, had no choice but to join the attack with an air blade compressed by the Wind Law Power.
Although Freya was used to all kinds of aggressive and sweeping attacks, it didn't mean she hadn't experienced them before.
During her most vulnerable and vulnerable period, Freya had been exposed to many skilled individuals, but given her physical attributes, the effortless style of the Assault Team suited her better.
To deal with the small fry enemies in front of them, there was obviously no need to use such skills. The air blade, with its only characteristic of sharpness, easily cut through the mysterious creature's body.
"Don't waste time with them. Enemies like them are everywhere in this city. Speed up."
"Yes, Lord Freya."
"Received, Your Saintess Lord."
The Valkyrie immediately obeyed Freya's orders and followed behind Freya.
The group quickly crossed two streets and a square, and then in front of a new square, a new monster darted out from behind an abandoned car.
"Lord Freya, you have feelings..."
But before the four-armed combat unit could even swing its energy sword, Freya raised her hand and cleaved it into pieces.
"Um?"
Freya turned her head in confusion. It was an unconscious action of hers. It seemed that some hostile creature had approached her, which caused her to instinctively swing the air blade in her hand.
She tilted her head and looked at a piece on the ground. Both the weapon and the body had been cut into fist-sized pieces. Neither the weapon nor the new monster could be recognized as the original.
"What just jumped out from the side?"
"It must be a new type of monster."
"It seems to have four arms, wielding two energy blades."
"It looks very human, and the blade has just released an energy shield."
The Valkyrie each answered Freya's question with a single sentence, but Freya became even more confused.
"Energy shield?"
Freya didn't feel any obstruction at all; rather, she was just casually swinging her air blade a few times.
"It seems I overestimated the combat power of the vanguard. And rightly so... how could there be any real fighting feel against an enemy that doesn't even have Emperor Honkai or Emperor-class?"
Freya had only been training with the Assault Team for a short time when she used a large number of Honkai Beast as opponents in the simulation room, and soon she began to tear apart the Emperor Honkai.
The only time she made a mistake was when she accidentally increased the number of Emperor-class Honkai Beast. Faced with the million-ton impact of a hundred Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Pvanty, stacked together, she was knocked away and embedded in the wall.
That was also Freya's closest defeat to death.
"..."
"..."
"Lord Freya, it's wrong to show off."
"Shut up."
