Chapter 495
Of course, the Valkyrie's body is very strong, especially since Carole's mother is Lewis.
Several Valkyrie, still prone to worry, immediately jumped off the fifth-floor roof. However, Carole was more resilient than they had imagined. Although the fall startled her, she used the wall for leverage and then made a fall-over maneuver, 'completely offset' the impact of the fall.
"Are you alright, Little Radish?"
"Carole, are you hurt?"
Does it require treatment?
"Something's wrong! I'm injured! I need treatment! What's going on? That brat, acting like a grown-up! It took me over two hours to do my hair, boohoo..."
Carole sobbed twice, but managed to hold back her tears.
After all, I felt it would be too embarrassing to be made to cry by a six or seven-year-old.
"Good boy, good boy."
"Hehe, don't blame Lord Freya."
"That's right, Lord Freya dotes on you a lot, no, she's another little radish."
"So, why do you call me Little Radish?!"
Carole wasn't oblivious; although she was usually quite carefree, it didn't mean she couldn't see through these people's attitudes.
At first, she thought these people were enemies, so she pretended to be harmless in front of them. She was suspicious of those who showed her affection without permission, but she found that they really knew her.
The nickname "Little Radish" was a bit of a headache for her, as she had never encountered a "relative" who called her that before.
"Little Radish is a nickname we gave to you, or more accurately, to another version of you. We are Valkyrie from a parallel world, or you could say, Valkyrie of the Moon Civilization."
"Yes, you were only four years old in that world."
"Hehe, among a group of little ones, you are the most mischievous and cute, and you love playing in the mud."
The Valkyrie surrounding Carole explained the situation one by one, and the Valkyrie with healing abilities also treated the large swelling on the back of Carole's head.
Well, falling from the fifth floor, coupled with her failed landing and kicking the wall to increase her speed, resulted in Carole only getting a bump on the back of her head.
"Hey little radish, why did you kick the wall just now?"
"Um, that's right, I was trying to apply force laterally to reduce the impact of the fall."
Carole, her face flushed, got up from the ground. Perhaps because of the kindness of the Valkyrie, she didn't hide much.
However, the other Valkyrie looked on with strange expressions. After all, what they saw when they jumped down was Carole kicking the wall hard, which accelerated her fall to the ground, causing her to fail to catch herself.
It's more accurate to say that it applies force downwards rather than horizontally.
Pfft
The Valkyrie, who had received professional training, couldn't help but laugh out loud, making Carole even more embarrassed.
Freya laughed as she floated down from the rooftop with the other Valkyrie.
"Alright, Carole, you'll be working with us from now on. Tell me as much as you know."
"(⊙o⊙)..."
Carole blinked, then stared at Freya with wide eyes.
Freya's body stiffened involuntarily, and she almost fell straight down from the air. She exclaimed in surprise.
"You're not going to tell me you know nothing, are you?"
"Sigh, I don't know why the captain abandoned me and my senior..."
Is the team's communication working?
Looking at Carole's pitiful face, Freya asked.
"It works, but we can't contact the captain."
"She must have discovered something..."
Freya did not meet Raiden Mei of this world. After all, it was too incredible for a parallel world to make contact with the anti- Honkai organization. Bishop Theresa kept the relevant information a secret from almost everyone, and only Tesla and Welt knew the inside story.
But Welt disappeared in Saint-Fontaine not long after, since the Welt of this world was no longer the Anti-Entropy Leader.
After the Final Battle, Otto died, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal merged, Welt, who lost most of his Herrscher powers, retired and joined an animation company that was once controlled by Anti-Entropy as a producer and animator. Einstein and Tesla joined Schicksal and became the right-hand men of the new Bishop of Schicksal Theresa.
Welt accepted a business invitation from the government of Saint-Fontaine, but disappeared at the Saint-Fontaine station; beforehand, Schicksal used satellites to scan almost every inch of Saint-Fontaine, but found nothing.
Mei, who, like Theresa, lost someone important to her, has been traveling the world to clean up the remaining Honkai.
Although Freya had never actually seen Raiden Mei of this world in person, she heard from Bishop Theresa about the influence Raiden Mei of this world had on her during their conversation.
Both had lost someone important to them, but Mei stayed by Bishop Theresa's side to encourage her. After restoring St. Freya, Mei became the captain of the third squad and devoted all her energy to clearing away the remnants of the Honkai.
Bishop Theresa's assessment of her was—she used to be very gentle and reliable... ah, I don't mean her... I mean, she's even gentler and more reliable now than before!
Such a comment almost made Aurora and Mei from the original world hug each other and cry all night.
Kiki and Mei, who are most likely to evolve into this future world of Two, simply applied for a marriage certificate; that's right, there is a marriage certificate specially designed for Valkyrie within the League.
Although Freya messed up Kiki and Mei's original parallel world, the people they truly cared about were safe and sound, which is why they were able to live in seclusion within the League. Now, they are even more grateful that their future has changed.
Freya doesn't know Mei in this world, but she knows more than one Mei.
Whether it's Aurora and her first wife Mei, Kiki and her wife Mei, or the enormous Kiana in the isolation room and her family's Lightning Herrscher Mei, all three Mei have very similar personalities.
Under Otto's influence, Freya always calculated based on the target's personality, so Freya instinctively guessed Mei's behavior pattern in this world.
After all, knowing Freya other party's personality in general, and knowing that the other party had abandoned a certain male Valkyrie and Carole, it was not difficult to deduce that she decided to act alone to avoid the male Valkyrie and Carole from being in danger.
"Lord Freya, what should we do next?"
Seeing Freya hesitate, the outspoken Valkyrie immediately asked.
She noticed that Freya was hesitating about her choice, so she took the initiative to ask Freya to state her choice so that she could make her own decision later. Even if something went wrong, she could take the blame herself.
Of course, Freya never intended to make the Valkyrie take the blame. She smiled at the mischievous 'junior' and then spoke to her senior.
"Go back and give her three times the extra training."
"Yes!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"
Freya finished teasing her junior, then coughed, drawing everyone's attention, including some monsters.
Carole and the Valkyrie easily dealt with the monsters, and Freya also told them about her decision.
Because of Mei's unauthorized actions, Freya originally wanted to find Welt first. After all, based on her understanding of Welt, he was either doing sit-ups in his coffin or secretly gathering intelligence. However, she had to prioritize finding Raiden Mei, who had taken the initiative to risk her life.
In other words, we should give up on reuniting Welt with that male Valkyrie for now.
Welt:??
A certain male martial god:??
579. We really can't beat the Abyss Civilization now.
It's not that Freya wants to abandon Welt and a certain male Valkyrie, but rather that Raiden Mei of this world is preparing to become involved in, and may even decide to, take on the BOSS one-on-one.
Freya's gaze fell on the floating island in the distance. She had been attracted by the enormous floating object as soon as she entered Saint-Fontaine.
Carole named the floating island 'Abyssal Demon City'. When she and Captain Mei were on an operation together, they left behind some sound trackers along the way. After retrieving them, they found that the sound source came from that floating island.
Based on the above, it is not difficult to deduce Raiden Mei's destination.
Carole and Mei originally planned to find Welt first, but she and her senior found Welt's adopted son first, so the three of them had to send Welt's adopted son out of Saint-Fontaine first.
However, Saint-Fontaine is now a place where entry is permitted but exit is not, and with communications blocked, even Mei cannot contact the outside world.
The three of them had previously chosen a safe place in the city as their base and temporarily placed Welt's adopted son there. However, their captain inexplicably went off on her own, and as a result, she and her senior had to leave the adopted son to hide obediently in that base in order to find Raiden Mei.
To prevent Welt's adopted son from encountering any accidents, Freya asked Carole to contact her predecessor, the male Valkyrie, and ask him to return to Welt's adopted son's side to protect him.
Meanwhile, Freya used the team's communication system to contact the Valkyrie in Saint-Fontaine and gave them the mission to collect the enemy's remains.
Although Saint-Fontaine blocked internal communication with the outside world, communication within Saint-Fontaine was still possible.
In other words, the barrier surrounding Saint-Fontaine only blocked communication between the inside and outside, but did not interfere with communication within Saint-Fontaine.
But thinking about it carefully, in a city where you can enter but not leave, and monsters are everywhere, even if you have a local area network, it wouldn't be of much use.
Call for help? Whom should I call for help?
The humans trapped in Saint-Fontaine could barely protect themselves, let alone help others.
Freya had been in Saint-Fontaine for some time, but she hadn't seen a single person, which suggested that the inhabitants of Saint-Fontaine had likely all been killed.
To prevent Raiden Mei from getting into danger, Freya decided to find her as soon as possible.
However, as the squad headed towards the sky island, they were immediately ambushed by the enemy.
First, several telephone poles fell from the sky, followed by a large number of mysterious creatures with bird-like skeleton structures swooping down from the sky.
"Oh no, it's [Code XV - Demon]!"
Carole immediately assumed a fighting stance, and the sudden attack did indeed throw the squad into disarray.
"Demon?"
"Yes, it's annoying, I keep missing shots."
Carole shared her impressions of this enemy, Freya nodded slightly. Compared to the aerial units that had patrolled before, these mysterious creatures, shaped like bird skeletons, were highly mobile aerial combat units.
The reason why the Valkyrie was also caught off guard was because the opponent's movements were complex and unpredictable, making it difficult to predict the next move.
Freya glanced around and immediately noticed that the large number of enemies attacking the squad were using only three modes: claw attacks, wing attacks, and dive attacks.
Valkyrie selected for the main force are considered combat geniuses. After the system of promotion and demotion was established within the Valkyrie, the number of Valkyrie in the main force is fixed. This leads to the Valkyrie who can stay in the main force becoming more and more elite. Even Valkyrie who do not make it into the main force are themselves quite powerful.
Of course, the main force's decline wasn't solely due to the alliance's financial problems. While weapon production was indeed a factor, a healthy competitive system truly enabled the Valkyrie to continuously improve their strength and maintain a positive mindset.
In fact, if she and Kevin, Fu Hua and the others hadn't been so much stronger than the people in the second group, she might have joined the main team's monthly round-robin tournament.
Because the simulation room provides various combat environments and enemies, the round-robin tournament is not limited to Valkyrie vs. Valkyrie battles, but also includes a series of competition modes such as Honkai Beast and Rescue, which can comprehensively evaluate the Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie swiftly launched a counterattack against these enemies, which were named [Code XV - Demon].
The mechanical wings, resembling bone wings, were destroyed, and the monsters that constantly harassed the Valkyrie with their dive attacks were slammed heavily to the ground one after another. Even losing just one wing was enough to render the enemy unable to move freely.
The Quantum Body projected not only the Valkyrie wearing the Valkyrie Armor, but also the weapons the Valkyrie was carrying at the time.
Because the Quantum Phantom System only needs to pull out a projection of the Valkyrie in full armor from the Sea of Quantum, the Alliance avoids the need to create armor for all Valkyrie.
However, developing weapons still requires a lot of money. Even if the Quantum Phantom System can be used to project weapons so that all the Quantized Valkyrie can have weapons, the projected weapons will only have 70% of the original power.
The lightsaber sliced through the air, leaving a scorching mark in its wake, and cleanly sliced a monster that had been swooping down from above in half.
"Hehe~ Senior, I'm awesome, right?"
The Valkyrie instantly killed the monster, stood with one hand on her hip, beaming with pride.
The Valkyrie next to her, wielding a large-caliber electromagnetic sniper rifle, blasted three monsters in a row with her headshots. She immediately rolled her eyes at her playful junior classmate, then raised the sniper rifle in her hand, which could be used as a fire poker, and smashed it down on the monster that was rushing towards her, directly slamming the monster's head into the ground.
"..."
The incredibly violent act made Carole instinctively swallow hard.
Even though the Quantized Valkyrie's combat power is only about 70% of what it used to be, and the depleted Honkai Energy is difficult to recover, it does not prevent them from organizing effective countermeasures after being at a loss for a while.
The enemy's attack methods are limited. Without ranged attacks, Valkyrie with long-range attack capabilities have the upper hand. If the enemy wants to launch an attack, they must dive down on them, which gives Valkyrie skilled in melee combat an opportunity to counterattack. Once the enemy's wings are destroyed, the enemy, who has lost their agility and ability to fly, is like a featherless chicken on a chopping board. Whether they are boiled, grilled, or poached depends on their mood.
"Be careful of energy consumption. Avoid using attacks that consume a lot of energy, as the Honkai Energy of the Quantum Body recovers very slowly."
"Yes!"
"Yes, Lord Freya."
"Yes, Your Saintess Lord."
Upon hearing Freya's command, the Valkyrie in battle immediately responded.
The Valkyrie already tried her best to avoid using energy, fought even more restrained, but the scales of battle did not tip in favor of these monsters.
Carole stared blankly as the enemies, who had previously taken her and her seniors considerable effort to defeat, were easily killed by simply swinging their weapons or firing ranged weapons.
"Cough... you guys are... aren't you too strong?!"
Carole choked on her own excitement, but she still managed to clearly convey the ideas she wanted to express.
The [Code XV-Demon] were not without countermeasures, but the energy covering them was simply insufficient to stop a normal attack from the Valkyrie.
