Chapter 502

Thanks to the sacrifice of several Valkyrie who risked their lives to stop the puppet army, they successfully escaped the land of Saint-Fontaine.

"In any case, the mission has been accomplished."

After being completely out of danger, Freya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't afraid of the enemy being too powerful. After all, no matter how powerful the enemy was, the worst outcome for Freya would be losing her memories of arriving in this world.

Although the information about the vanguard of the People from the Sky in this world was very important in her memory, Freya valued the lives of Raiden Mei and Carole even more.

"A mission?"

Raiden Mei muttered to herself, then turned her head somewhat unwillingly to look at the gradually shrinking Saint-Fontaine behind her.

She always felt that letting the [Abyssal Demon City] go unchecked would lead to an even worse situation, but she also knew that she and Carole could not intervene in such a fierce battle.

Neither the countless puppet troops nor the ridiculously large construct monsters with ridiculously high health bars are enemies that Raiden Mei can easily deal with.

Raiden Mei couldn't help but reminisce about the power of the Herrscher of Thunder. If she still possessed that immense power, she could directly break into the [Abyssal Demon City] and find the mastermind behind it all.

Of course, the masked man who resembled that bishop also made Raiden Mei very nervous, and she wanted to explain this to Bishop Theresa immediately.

Based on the information leaked from the masked man's trash talk, the target seems to be a 'former' Herrscher who possesses Herrscher powers.

Almost all the Herrscher in this world lost their cores, Kiana, who chose to sacrifice herself, absorbed all of them.

Therefore, both Welt and Raiden Mei only have some high-quality energy left in their bodies.

"Freya, we..."

"Mei, your mission is to explore Saint-Fontaine and find Welt. The fact that you cannot explore further means that your mission has failed. Under these circumstances, ignoring your own abilities and acting blindly will only make things worse."

Freya pursed her lips and continued.

"Don't forget that you are also a target of the enemy. Now that Mr. Welt has left, we have no reason to stay in Saint-Fontaine."

Although Freya wanted to continue spying on the People from the Sky, she knew that continuing would only lead to more harm than good, so she simply chose to run away.

Welt was stationed on the outskirts of Saint-Fontaine, immediately reunited with the retreating force. Apart from a few Quantized Valkyrie who had been killed, there were no other losses during the mission to explore Saint-Fontaine.

After meeting Welt, Freya discovered that he had already discovered a lot of information, and she and Raiden Mei became bait to lure the masked man and the forces behind him.

"So Mr. Welt was just pretending to leave..."

"I'm sorry, after I met up with Raiden Mei, I heard from Theresa that you were reinforcements. So I took this opportunity to pretend to leave, and after you attracted the enemy's attention, I secretly infiltrated Saint-Fontaine."

Although Welt retired and became a civilian after losing his Herrscher Core, Theresa naturally wouldn't hide this news from Welt after establishing contact with the parallel world.

Moreover, Tesla and Einstein both worked at Schicksal, so Theresa couldn't possibly hide it from her right-hand man, or rather, the matter itself was not well concealed.

The Valkyrie from the Moon Civilization possess a technological system different from that of the Valkyrie in this world. Especially when they saw several Valkyrie easily decompose and reconstruct various ruins into raw materials, and then build a dazzling 300-story base building on that open space, even if the members of the lower levels of Schicksal and the Valkyrie could fool them for a while, Tesla and Einstein immediately discovered the other party's special characteristics.

In fact, Tesla was very curious about the Moon Civilization's technological system, especially its ability to decompose and reconstruct, which was exceptionally good at building logistics bases.

Even more impressively, some plant-based Valkyrie managed to create a vast grain-growing area in just a few days, using improved seeds that were four times larger, enabling them to produce four times the amount of grain.

It was precisely because he knew how peculiar they were in the parallel world that Welt was confident enough to use them as bait to attract the enemy's attention.

Welt also apologized to Freya and the others with some remorse.

Ultimately, in order to gather deeper intelligence, he used Freya and others as bait, and even caused many Valkyrie to sacrifice themselves.

"I apologize for not communicating with you beforehand in order to gather more intelligence."

"It's alright, as long as they share that intelligence with us. For us, death is not the end, and besides, their sacrifice was not without value."

Freya didn't blame Welt, after all, it was indeed the optimal solution before.

Even Freya didn't expect that when the masked man left [Abyssal Demon City] and blocked Freya and Raiden Mei's way of returning, Welt quietly ran up to [Abyssal Demon City].

If he hadn't almost been discovered by the People from the Sky named 'Lucheni', he probably would have discovered even more information.

"Of course, I can share my findings. I know from Theresa that you and another civilization in your world want to fight against the People from the Sky Civilization together in this world. This enemy is your prey, so I hope you can stop their conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?"

Freya looked at Welt with some doubt, and Welt nodded vigorously, saying with a solemn expression.

"According to my investigation, the other party's goal is the Honkai Energy sealed on the moon, or rather, Kiana's self-sealing."

"What!!"

Raiden Mei reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her shocked expression quickly turning into an indescribable rage.

"How dare they?!"

"Of course they dare. The People from the Sky Civilization has been eyeing this civilization's Honkai Energy from the very beginning."

Freya didn't continue, but her expression proved that Welt's investigation into the [Abyssal Demon City] was correct.

Raiden Mei bit her lip. She thought of the Valkyrie who had sacrificed themselves in the fight against the Honkai over the years, the innocent people whose families were destroyed because of the Honkai incidents, and the girl who decided to seal herself away to bear the sorrow of the whole world.

The thought that sacrifices were still ongoing, that tragedy was about to unfold, and that the girl's long-cherished wish was being thwarted, made Raiden Mei's face grow increasingly ferocious and distorted.

Welt's face was also unable to remain calm.

Although the Honkai has not completely disappeared from this world, eight years ago, Kiana sealed herself with 99% of the Honkai Energy in the world, and the disasters brought by the Honkai gradually disappeared from people's lives.

Stability and tranquility are gradually returning to this planet.

"Absolutely not! I will not allow them to do this!"

"Indeed, if the Honkai Energy be freed, the current Schicksal simply does not have the power to fight against it."

Raiden Mei and Welt understood the seriousness of the situation, but with their current combat power, let alone stopping the enemy's actions, even attacking the [Abyssal Demon City] would be extremely difficult.

The puppet referred to as 'General' by the masked man was merely a stronger construct in the vanguard. Besides it, there were even stronger puppets such as 'Emperor' and 'Queen,' not to mention the true main force of the People from the Sky Civilization.

"I need your help."

Although he is now just the president of an animation studio, Welt feels that his retirement should come to an end.

Welt chose to retire so as not to interfere with the centralized power of Bishop Theresa in this world, but now is not the time to care about such trivial matters.

"I know that's why we're here. However, I can't guarantee that the other civilization won't attack you. As I said before, that civilization is Honkai Civilization built by the Honkai Consciousness of our world. Even if the underlying elements of the civilization have intelligence, this Abyss Civilization still harbors strong malice towards humanity."

If it weren't for the fact that the Moon Civilization had high-end combat power like Kevin, Fu Hua, and Freya, the Abyss Civilization wouldn't have minded devouring the Moon Civilization at all.

"No, your words are enough. At least we are not fighting alone."

Support from Survivor Civilization in parallel worlds is extremely important to the current Schicksal.

Welt couldn't wait to tell Theresa and the others the good news. Only after they arrived on the airship that was supposed to pick Welt up were they truly out of danger.

Both Freya and Welt were secretly on guard against the enemy's pursuit, but in the end, neither the masked man nor the People from the Sky appeared.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Freya and the others who are evacuating.

"Finally home..."

Upon returning to the base established by the Moon Civilization in this world, Freya and her group were momentarily stunned.

After all, the 300-story-high base building was a bit too exaggerated. Or rather, with civilizations still reviving in various places, even a city like Saint-Fontaine was considered to be the fastest reviving city. The appearance of this incredibly tall base building was indeed too strange.

"Do you guys really need to go to such lengths?"

"No, I'm very sorry, but Lord Freya, this is our front-line base for fighting against the People from the Sky... I think it's necessary to build it up like a fortress."

"I see. It means the interior is empty, but the external facilities are basically complete."

Freya possesses the powers of the Herrscher of Reason, so it wasn't difficult for her to analyze the situation of this base building. In fact, the interior of the building was even more spacious than Freya had imagined.

Freya had no idea what the armor covering the building was for, even though it looked quite imposing and powerful.

To what extent has the cross-world communication network been built?

"It's all set up and ready to connect with the alliance at any time."

"Then let's make contact and show you the results of your work."

Freya patted the Valkyrie on the shoulder as she reported the situation to her, speaking in an encouraging tone.

Temporary communication methods cannot facilitate cross-dimensional contact with the Alliance at any time, while establishing a cross-dimensional communication network would also help Freya analyze the coordinates of this world.

Upon arriving at the communication room inside the base building, Freya successfully made contact with Theresa from the original world.

"Oh, Theresa, it's been so long..."

"It seems like only half a day has passed, Freya. Why are you contacting us now? I remember the time we can contact each day..."

"This is not a temporary communication. Our Valkyrie are all good girls, and we have already set up a cross-dimensional communication network."

Freya replied with a smile, noting that there were quite a few familiar faces in the communication screen displayed on the wall.

"Be careful not to let the communication signals be intercepted by other civilizations."

"Understood. Don't worry, the communication signals have been encrypted. In addition, we have deployed a large number of signal buoys into the Sea of Quantum for the previous few temporary communications. We will be able to locate the coordinates of this world soon."

Einstein's reminder made Freya's expression turn somewhat serious. She also knew what kind of risks a cross-dimensional communication network would pose. If the sent signals were intercepted by an unknown civilization, it could very well lead to their discovery by that civilization.

Even the People from the Sky Civilization wouldn't dare to act so recklessly. Of course, a certain degree of risk is acceptable, as long as the coordinates of this world can be locked. Kevin and Freya agree to take some risks.

Moreover, if an unknown civilization is indeed attracted, the likelihood that the other party will first seek out the Abyss Civilization.

Freya and Kevin had considered using this to their advantage against the Abyss Civilization, but if they attracted too many powerful civilizations, they couldn't guarantee that neither the Abyss Civilization nor the Moon Civilization could withstand it, especially since they themselves had to wage war against the People from the Sky Civilization.

"Where is Aurora?"

"Locking in world coordinates, my daughter is really capable."

Tesla was showing off with a bit of smugness, while Welt next to her covered his face helplessly.

"Sister Einstein, could you please keep an eye on Sister Tesla?"

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

Einstein answered very calmly.

Tesla, oblivious to the implied meaning, tilted his head, revealing an adorable look of confusion. Welt covered his mouth, clearly unable to hide his ever-growing smile.

Welt often boasted to others about how adorable his wife was.

Of course, Siegfried also showed off his wife quite a bit. Although he only implanted part of Cecilia's consciousness into the clone, in Siegfried's eyes, whether it was his wife from the Abyss Civilization's Honkai Beast or his wife who was resurrected through the clone, she was still his wife. It's just that he couldn't bring back his wife from the Abyss Civilization's Honkai Beast.

In the trio of good buddies, Raiden Ryoma became the target of the other two's teasing, often encountering them showing off their wives and daughters when they were busy with official duties...

Raiden Ryoma felt that he had a lot to talk about with Freya about a certain colonel who was incompetent on rainy days. Although Raiden Ryoma also had a daughter, whenever he posted pictures of his daughter, he couldn't help but think that his daughter seemed to be Siegfried's daughter's wife, which made him even more distressed.

To be honest, he's the only one left in the Father's Sorrow Alliance now. Siegfried was kicked out of the group a long time ago. If he could, Raiden Ryoma would love to break off all ties with him.

587. With great power comes great responsibility.

Ryoma, Siegfried, and Welt, these three good buddies, are almost at the end of their friendship, but right now, whether their friendship has broken down is irrelevant.

Although Welt, under Siegfried's influence, also became a foolish husband who loved to show off his wife and constantly dealt emotional blows to Ryoma, who had lost his wife at an early age, he did not do it intentionally.

Upon seeing Tesla showing off his adopted daughter, Freya quickly steered the conversation back on track to prevent it from veering off course.

"Sister Tesla, you can show off Aurora first, and Mr. Welt, don't look like you're trying to brag about your wife. Everyone has a wife..."

Freya had often boasted about her personal maid, but that was just a pastime during her naps; now they were talking about serious business.

"Although I don't want to put pressure on Aurora, I still urge Aurora to locate the coordinates of this world as soon as possible. It's a pity that I can't go to that world in my physical body, otherwise... with the connection between Aurora and me, we could locate the coordinates of this world even faster."

Freya replied with some regret.

However, Theresa and the others did not change their expressions; they clearly did not approve of such a high-risk action.

"I see."

Tesla replied with a smile that although her IQ wasn't quite up to par right now, relaying a message wasn't too difficult.

So Freya watched as Tesla contacted Aurora. After a few words, Tesla ended the call by telling her to come home for dinner early, completely forgetting about the thing Freya needed to urge.

"..."

Einstein, Welt, and others standing next to Tesla fell silent.

Among them, Einstein and Planck, who belonged to the research department, looked at Welt with reproach. It was because he had given birth to a child that Tesla, who was the most likely to compete with Mei in the alliance, was turned into a little idiot.

After Tesla got Welt pregnant and gave birth to her child, Welt became the most unpopular person in the research department.

Freya originally wanted to remind Tesla of the view that could be seen through Tesla's communication screen, but Freya also felt that Aurora really should take a rest.
