Chapter 501

"Yes, you can die if you're careless."

A cannon of energy, intertwined with wind and lightning, was released from Freya's palm, and the blue and yellow beams collided directly with the large energy ball launched by the giant monster.

As a result, the energy ball was pushed backward by the beam of light and crashed back into the giant monster, causing it to keep retreating and collapsing the buildings behind it. The masked man understood where his ominous premonition came from.

The little girl he thought was Theresa's daughter was clearly an even more monstrous being.

Even the 'People from the Sky' who contacted him fell silent after seeing a glimpse of her.

Carole and Raiden Mei stared with their mouths agape. Although Carole had initially thought their opponent was really strong, and Raiden Mei had been taught a lesson in five minutes, the actual difference in their abilities was so huge that neither of them could say anything else.

"That's a foul, isn't it?"

"More than one Herrscher ability?"

Freya's performance left Raiden Mei. She stared wide-eyed at Freya, who looked as if she had just taken a sip of water, and couldn't help but ask.

Who exactly are you?

"Oh, didn't I already introduce myself? I'm 'Kiana,' but Mei can call me Freya."

The large energy ball was not completely annihilated, but after knocking down the giant monster, it flew towards the distant sky, directly smashing a large hole in the energy barrier that enveloped Saint-Fontaine.

"Oh ho ho, now... you're finding it increasingly difficult to hide the truth about this city."

Hearing Freya's mockery, the masked man's expression turned somewhat ugly, but fortunately, the change in his expression was hidden by the metal mask on his face.

Of course, the giant monster was not so easy to defeat. Even though Freya tore through the opponent's energy barrier with her beam of light and the opponent's large energy ball, the opponent was only knocked down and fell by the energy ball.

With a push from its four legs supporting its massive body, the giant monster rose from the ground.

"Lucheni, my friend, do not underestimate this little fellow. I need you to send more soldiers. Your general cannot fight her alone, and the other soldiers are tied down by her subordinates and cannot join the battle. You need to send more soldiers. Listen to me, my friend, call all the soldiers in Saint-Fontaine."

The masked man's tone didn't seem to change much, but Freya and Raiden Mei knew that he was indeed panicking. With an unknown Herrscher shouldn't be here and possessed the power of multiple Herrscher, the masked man could no longer guarantee that his subsequent plans would go smoothly.

585. He knew nothing about power, and he knew nothing about Honkai.

Freya's displayed strength has made the masked man worry about whether his plan can be successfully executed.

However, the giant monster summoned by the masked man was not so easily destroyed. Simply put, this thing had a very high health bar, and Freya's current power was ultimately too limited. Otherwise, she would have killed the monster instantly.

Freya was used to having inexhaustible power, which prevented her from properly utilizing the power of this body for a while.

When she saw the monster stand up as if it hadn't been badly injured, she couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

Because he possessed near-invincible power, he became too lazy in his daily life.

Of course, Freya has not been without effort, but at her current level, her growth has become very slow, or rather, almost stagnant.

On one hand, Freya chose scientific research, and with her Imaginary Tree Authority, she had a unique advantage in researching Honkai; on the other hand, it was also because she had mastered a dangerous technique like Distorted Space.

This meant Freya needed some time to familiarize herself with her current power. She continued to condense the Herrscher's Spear, but the Herrscher's Spear condensed with her current body did not have the power of Herrscher- C-rank Valkyrie from the past.

Even the weakest attack can change with quantity. Hundreds of Herrscher's Spear were generated in an instant and poured down on the monster like a storm. Hundreds more Herrscher's Spear were generated and poured down on the monster again.

The monster, which had finally managed to stand up, was utterly disheveled and sat on the ground under the torrential downpour of attacks. Its four legs, which supported its massive body, were riddled with holes by numerous Herrscher's Spear, and its most sturdy armor was being peeled off layer by layer.

"Hateful..."

The masked man, realizing he had underestimated Freya, shouted through gritted teeth.

Once the monster's four massive legs are destroyed, no matter how huge the monster is or how thick its health bar is, it becomes just a stationary target.

Freya even had a playful attitude at this moment.

The monster wasn't entirely defenseless; it was also wielding its enormous staff. However, Freya remained outside the monster's attack range. Whenever the monster prepared to launch an energy ball, it would be immediately pushed back by the beam of light emitted by Freya, inflicting severe damage instead.

"Easy..."

Although this monster had a very high health bar and defense, even though Freya was constantly adjusting her full strength, she was still unable to kill it instantly. The Herrscher's Spear, which was equivalent to a full-force attack from C-rank Valkyrie, only dealt relatively weak damage to the monster. However, with a barrage of Herrscher's Spear, the weak damage accumulated and quickly turned into severe injury, and severe injury could soon turn into elimination.

It's not that this monster isn't powerful. In fact, even if the Quantized Valkyrie around Freya were to win a one-on-one fight against such a monster, they would have to leave the arena due to the enormous amount of energy they had consumed.

However, if this monster could be so easily destroyed, it wouldn't have become a general under the masked man's name, 'Lucheni'.

Freya observed the other Valkyrie's battles for a while, but her attention was quickly diverted to the enemy who was using the surrounding energy to repair itself.

"... Self-repair?"

Freya was somewhat surprised, but the situation was still under her control.

Freya's personality is deeply influenced by Otto Apocalypse. Like Otto, she likes to be in control of everything, and like Otto, she hates things that are out of control.

Fortunately, Freya also knew that the monsters themselves were not so easy to deal with, so she increased the number of Herrscher's Spear in each round.

Another volley of Herrscher's Spear was fired, followed by a one-second interval, and then another volley of Herrscher's Spear was fired...

Although Freya only added a few dozen Herrscher's Spear, the combined damage from these added Herrscher's Spear outweighed the monster's self-repair speed.

Freya crossed her arms and looked at the masked man with a mocking smile.

"What a pity, it seems that the 'general' you placed so much hope in can't be of much help."

This time, the enemy was merely the vanguard of the People from the Sky Civilization, so there was nothing particularly powerful.

Of course, if even the lousy vanguard forces mass-produced by the People from the Sky Civilization have enemies that Freya cannot defeat, then the idea of Abyss Civilization and the Moon Civilization joining forces to fight against the People from the Sky Civilization is just wishful thinking. They will either make a final stand or revel in their last moments before the end of the world.

The monster was still making a final struggle, raising an even more powerful energy barrier, but within seconds it was riddled with holes by Herrscher's Spear.

Creating the Herrscher's Spear doesn't require much power, and most importantly, it doesn't require Freya's own power.

Ultimately, as a backup vessel for the Herrscher of Finality, Freya herself possesses absolute control over Honkai Energy and the ability to connect to Imaginary Space, which complements the Schariac Family's precise manipulation capabilities.

The more powerful energy barrier only prolonged the monster's life for a few seconds. As hundreds of Herrscher's Spear pierced through its tattered armor, the monster came to a complete halt.

"Tsk..."

In fact, not everything was under Freya's control, which made her feel a little dissatisfied.

Such powerful monsters are the samples that most need to be preserved, but Freya cannot exert too much power. Even the Herrscher's Spear that were originally of Herrscher- level power have only been reduced to the strength of C-rank Valkyrie.

One reason is that 99% of the Honkai Energy sealed on the moon, and another is that Freya needs time to open the channel of the Imaginary Space to guide the Honkai Energy.

This thwarted Freya's plan to preserve the enemy's remains intact, but of course, she wouldn't choose to stay behind.

Even if Freya were confident, she wouldn't do something so foolish in the face of an unknown enemy.

It's a pity that the monster's remains cannot be preserved, but if they accidentally crash, Raiden Mei and Carol's lives will be in danger.

Faced with the choice between Raiden Mei and Carole's safety and the monster's intact remains, frankly, this choice isn't difficult.

These minor imperfections don't bother Freya much. Just like Otto often makes mistakes, his plans still succeed in the end.

"So, it's time to show your true colors, or do you prefer wearing that somewhat outdated and rather cringeworthy metal mask?"

The monster fell, Raiden Mei and Carole finally came to their senses.

After all, the sheer number of Herrscher's Spear raining down like a torrential downpour left the monster with little ability to resist until it died, leaving Raiden Mei and Carole speechless with shock.

Even the masked man was somewhat embarrassed and angry at this moment.

"Lucheni, my friend, I've told you so many times, you shouldn't underestimate this little guy!"

The 'People from the Sky' communicating with the masked man was clearly an arrogant fellow. Instead of being swayed by the temporary setback, it attributed it to Freya's good fortune, an attitude that nearly infuriated the masked man on the spot.

"... It seems this isn't the entire vanguard. What a pity. It seems we should make our move. Valkyrie, listen to my command, retreat completely!"

"Yes!!"

"Clear."

"Lord Freya, I request to self-destruct."

"Saintess Lord, I request to self-destruct."

"Agreed, okay, Mei- neechan, Little Radish, let's go."

Freya reacted even faster; since they couldn't capture the important sample, continuing the fight was pointless for them.

"Sigh, but..."

"We can't solve all the problems. After this encounter, I've learned who they are. Besides, our goal is to find Welt and you... Now that we've found you and Welt has already left from another place, there's not much point in staying in Saint-Fontaine."

Freya immediately grabbed Raiden Mei and Carole's hands and began to retreat. The Valkyrie who were entangled by the puppet soldiers of the vanguard of the People from the Sky also quickly abandoned their opponents. Two of the Valkyrie who were more exhausted felt that their bodies were about to collapse, so they simply chose to self-destruct and return.

"It's a pity that the self-destruction and cross-world self-destruction upon return means I can't retain my memories, otherwise this first-hand information could have been given to Sister Tesla."

Seeing Freya turn and run away, the masked man was slightly taken aback. In that short moment, Freya had already run far away with Raiden Mei and Carole.

Meanwhile, Freya also notified all the Valkyrie in Saint-Fontaine to evacuate. One of the Valkyrie squad happened to find the male Valkyrie in Raiden Mei's squad, as well as the Son of Welt who was under his protection. They immediately took the two away.

The energy barrier enveloping Saint-Fontaine was extremely powerful, but not so powerful as to be indestructible. Freya did not destroy the barrier at first because the situation was unclear and she needed to gather more information. However, Freya has now obtained enough information, so there is no need to keep the energy barrier in place.

Freya led Raiden Mei and Carole to retreat, leaving the two Valkyrie behind to face the encirclement of the puppet soldiers. Without hesitation, they unleashed their remaining energy.

Raiden Mei exclaimed in surprise.

"No, they're sending themselves to their deaths..."

Seeing that Raiden Mei found it hard to accept that the two Valkyrie chose to self-destruct to protect her, Freya explained the characteristics of the Quantum Body to her.

Knowing that even if Valkyrie using Quantum Body dies, she won't truly sacrifice herself, Raiden Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, while also envying Freya's world for having such a combat system.

"Speaking of which... with such a powerful combat system, why did you still lose to some Abyss Civilization?" Carole couldn't help but ask as she was being dragged away.

"That really hurts, little radish."

Freya replied with a hint of helplessness.

Yes, they had such a powerful combat system, so why did they still lose? It's simply because the enemy was too strong.

For the Moon Civilization, powerful enemies will only increase.

Unlike the Abyss Civilization, which is unafraid of sacrifice, the Moon Civilization cannot easily sacrifice either its current lower-class citizens or its original Alliance members.

Don't be fooled by the fact that over ten million survivors may sound like a lot. For a relatively developed city, this number is just a normal daily flow, and it's negligible compared to the billions of people on the entire planet.

Of course, it's already a lot that the Moon Civilization managed to leave behind more than 12 million people. You have to understand that due to various mistakes and conflicts, the Previous Civilization only had tens of thousands of survivors left in the world when it defeated the Herrscher of Corruption.

After the War of Finality, only a few thousand remained.

If Freya hadn't been holding Raiden Mei in one hand and Carole in the other, she would have wanted to flick Carole's forehead with her finger.

The two Valkyrie's self-destruction was unexpectedly powerful, utterly destroying the enemies surrounding them.

The masked man roared angrily. Not only had Welt escaped, but Raiden Mei was also gone. This thwarted their original plan to use the Herrscher energy of the two to create a beacon and send the main force of the People from the Sky Civilization toward Earth.

The People from the Sky the masked man called Lucheni, didn't care about any of this. In its eyes, the fact that the enemy had stopped fighting was already a victory for its side. As long as it maintained the [Abyssal Demon City], it could attract the main force of the People from the Sky Civilization.

In fact, the enemy this time didn't even manage to climb up to the [Abyssal Demon City], which, in Lucheni's eyes, was proof of their weakness.

And its slave... yes, in Lucheni's eyes, the masked man was not a friend, but merely a slave.

The slaves' loud clamor stems from their ignorance of the true power of the People from the Sky Civilization.

He knew nothing about power, and he knew nothing about Honkai.

Perhaps somewhere in this vast universe, there exists an interstellar civilization more powerful than our People from the Sky Civilization. Therefore, when the People from the Sky Civilization launches its probes, it disguises them as small celestial bodies and automatically corrects their trajectories toward the sun of the current star system.

If a weak civilization is detected, its coordinates will be immediately sent to the People from the Sky Civilization, and the vanguard will destroy it.

The People from the Sky Civilization discovered this planet many years ago. Although they encountered obstacles, they successfully transmitted the coordinates back to the People from the Sky Civilization, which is why the advance team arrived at this planet.

Now that the coordinates of this planet have been revealed, its fate is sealed.

Even if the vanguard of the People from the Sky Civilization is defeated, there will still be a more powerful main force, as well as the entire People from the Sky Civilization.

The planet discovered by the probe was not powerful; it was merely a primitive civilization that couldn't even escape the clutches of a small planet.

The People from the Sky Civilization, which has hunted countless civilizations in the universe, has encountered many powerful civilizations. Among them are interstellar civilizations that have ruled entire galaxies, enemies that even the People from the Sky Civilization must seriously confront, and civilizations that have just mastered technology to fight against the Honkai. All such civilizations will be marked, and the People from the Sky Civilization will come to harvest them decades later.

Just as the planet's Honkai Energy should have become abundant, waiting to be harvested by the People from the Sky Civilization, it was sealed on the moon because of someone.

For Lucheni, the most important thing right now is to break the seal on the moon and release all the sealed Honkai Energy.

Destroying civilizations is merely a side effect; for the People from the Sky Civilization, Honkai Energy is far more important.

"...foolish slaves."

Lucheni scorned the self-righteous masked man and still didn't leave [Abyssal Demon City]. As for the fleeing enemies, it didn't take them seriously at all.

586. It's okay, things will be back to normal soon.

Despite being pursued by People from the Sky puppets along the way, Freya and her group successfully reunited with the other Valkyrie squad.
