Chapter 504
She came to bring Welt Joyce home and to see old friends. Even the 80 Quantized Valkyrie she brought were only to prevent FU from turning his back on her.
Knowing Freya's true nature, Einstein naturally wouldn't be entirely convinced that Freya would keep her promise.
"Long time no see, Einstein... As for that Espada, they are indeed not very strong except for Miss Himeko. Whether it's me or the humanoid Honkai Beast Sirin, we are just ordinary humanoid Honkai Beast."
Upon hearing Welt Joyce's answer, Einstein nodded slightly, clearly not surprised by the response.
In fact, Mei, Hi Fu, Super Fu, and the Seven Apprentices do not need to have too much power. Just their appearance in front of Kevin and Fu Hua is enough to make the two of them unable to exert even a fraction of their strength.
Although they don't possess overwhelming power, they are not weak either. It can only be said that the Moon Civilization currently holds a slight advantage in terms of high-end combat capabilities.
"Since you came to pick me up... did you really need to bring so many people?"
"It is necessary. Neither Freya nor I believe that FU, the master of the Abyss Civilization, would let you return so easily."
Einstein answered calmly.
Welt Joyce was somewhat embarrassed by Einstein's cold tone, even though he had long been accustomed to Einstein's taciturnity and indifference.
"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong this time. He does intend to let me return, but he's assigned me some work first..."
"Oh? What kind of work has FU arranged for you?"
Upon seeing Welt Joyce's feigned mystery, Einstein's curiosity was piqued.
"You're not asking me to kill so-and-so in this world, are you?"
As soon as Einstein's gentle question reached his ears, Welt Joyce immediately waved his hand, but then he said with a hint of helplessness.
"FU wants me to break the seal on the moon..."
"... You want to restore the Honkai Energy of this world?"
As someone with extensive experience fighting the Honkai, Einstein immediately realized the purpose behind their actions.
If this planet is filled with Honkai Energy and creates an environment suitable for Honkai Beast to live in, it will be a nightmare for the civilization on this planet.
Einstein originally didn't care about human civilization in this world, after all, in her eyes, human civilization only consisted of a mere two million people.
She was indifferent to the original ten million or so survivors, let alone those on this planet who were not meant to be with her.
Einstein did not immediately accuse Welt Joyce of swearing at her nose, which is the biggest difference between her and Tesla.
"If it were Tesla, she would have given you a real dressing down."
"..."
Einstein mentioned another friend, and at the same time, the image of the fiery red twin-tailed girl also appeared in Welt's mind.
Although this young woman seemed out of place, she was genuinely dedicated to improving scientific research techniques.
If it were her, she would definitely be severely and harshly scolded by the other party.
Einstein looked down on the more than ten million survivors; in her eyes, they were just a bunch of idiots who couldn't see reality.
"I know it's hard for you to accept, so I'm going to give up this mission."
"If you abandon the mission, I estimate you'll be even less likely to escape your freedom, and Freya probably won't prevent even the smallest accident."
Einstein was simply speaking in Freya's image, and considering Freya's nature, Einstein felt that Freya was very likely to agree to the request.
After all, they didn't come to this world for a vacation or to travel.
Of course, Freya, who is now leisurely playing games in her office, does indeed look very relaxed.
"We came into this world to fight against the civilization of the People from the Sky Civilization, not to uphold the Schicksal of this world. We can cooperate with her for a short time, but afterwards, we are likely to face more public opinion, or even moral blackmail."
The limits of humanity are far lower than Einstein imagined.
In her original world's research department, she used some of the antibodies provided by the Jackal to improve the Valkyrie's stability and growth potential, even though the biological field was not Einstein's area of expertise.
But she did see many people who, out of jealousy, claimed that they could do just as well if they sat there, after the Alliance actively fought against the People from the Sky Civilization and preserved a large number of human lives. Einstein had never seen such inferior people.
Freya is worried that the Moon Civilization's continued assistance to the Schicksal in this world has led to the Schicksal becoming overly dependent on them.
There are also concerns that dependence could lead to conflict between the Moon Civilization and the Schicksal.
Even though the Theresa in this world is rather cunning, she still retains Theresa's adorable face, and Freya genuinely wants to get along with her.
"I regret to Einstein, that my mission is to break the seal on the moon and attack the Self-Sealed Herrscher of Finality."
"I understand. Luckily, I brought some men with me. I'll just finish you off right here."
Einstein gritted his teeth and decided to be a bad guy and a scapegoat.
She naturally failed to kill Welt Joyce, and instead secretly released her.
Freya, hiding in a corner, secretly watched all of this. Naturally, she also hoped that the Honkai Energy become abundant, so that their Quantum Body could slowly recover.
More importantly, the Moon Civilization also uses Honkai, and many of its internal research facilities rely on the supply of Honkai Energy reactors.
However, as long as civilization continues to develop, new Honkai Energy will inevitably be generated. Freya naturally did not intend to use any shortcuts, such as unsealing the Honkai Energy sealed on the moon. She clearly had a safer method, so why choose the most reckless one?
Welt Joyce simply shook his head helplessly, but the next moment, the battle between the two sides became tense and imminent.
In any case, breaking the seal on the moon is too risky, especially since it might involve directly confronting the Self-Sealed Herrscher of Finality.
Freya had no idea about the current state of the Herrscher of Finality. If she were still Kiana with a spirit of selflessness, it would be fine; she would most likely not leave the sealing site. But if Kiana sealed herself and her consciousness was Honkai by the Honkai, completely turning towards the Honkai Side, then the released Herrscher of Finality would make all humans feel what a 'bag of rice' is.
Super Shinra Tensei is unlikely, but it's not impossible to throw a few meteorites from the moon back to Earth and create a celestial obstruction.
During the Second Eruption, Sirin, the Second Herrscher who awakened on the moon, threw four meteorites at Earth, causing numerous casualties, and used them to blackmail Welt Yang into coming to his death.
Einstein waved to the Valkyrie behind her, signaling them not to show mercy to the enemy before them, while she herself faced Welt Joyce.
After all, Welt Joyce was just an ordinary person. Although Einstein herself didn't have much combat ability, she brought the Father Titan to this world.
By utilizing the remains of the Father in this world, it may be possible to enhance the Father Titan.
As for teleporting the Father Titan to this world, Freya and Aurora really wanted to curse Lungmen a few times to express their feelings.
589. By the way, what kind of employer is the Honkai Consciousness anyway?
Einstein leaped lightly and then slipped into a Titan Mech that suddenly appeared.
The quantum technology of the Titan Mech is already commonplace in the Alliance. Einstein, who came to this world in her original form, did not bring just one Titan Mech; she brought almost all the remaining Titan Mech in the Alliance with her.
Although the Titan Mech has undergone multiple upgrades and its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Valkyrie, within the Alliance, it serves more as a logistical tool than as a combat weapon.
However, most of the Honkai Beast brought by Welt Joyce were humanoid Honkai Beast, which lacked combat power. Humanoid Honkai Beast did not possess strong military strength; they were more for building branch bases of the Abyss Civilization.
Welt Joyce's mission this time, or rather the project that FU put him in charge of, does not conflict with Freya's purpose.
As mentioned before, Freya herself also wanted to break the seal on the moon.
She didn't believe Kiana should sacrifice herself; at least, she didn't think the surviving humans on Earth deserved such a sacrifice.
Even though Freya has the idea of saving everyone, she wouldn't be so selfless as to sacrifice the people she cares about for the sake of more strangers.
Just like the trolley problem, if you tie five strangers, or even a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand strangers to one trolley track, and a Valkyrie is tied to another trolley track, Freya would not hesitate to choose to let everyone on the other track die.
Of course, the real problem that would trouble Freya on the tram was that Valkyrie were tied to both sides, making it impossible for her to make a choice.
In a parallel world destined to be invaded, where even she herself is an invader, Freya can disregard all life outside the Alliance. But if she has the ability to save everyone, she doesn't mind helping those strangers.
Among a group of strangers, Freya would naturally prioritize those she could feel a good impression of.
FU is very clear about Freya's way of thinking, and Freya can also predict FU's general actions.
Welt Joyce's mission is as expected; however, even if Freya and FU reach an agreement, it doesn't mean that the two sides will truly work together.
This is also why Freya agreed to let Einstein come into this world.
With the Alliance's research department lacking a great and important inventor like Tesla, Einstein can be said to be the only remaining pillar of the research department. Despite being such an indispensable researcher, Freya still agreed to let her come into this world.
"Although we share the same goal this time, I respect Kiana's wishes. Since she chose to sacrifice herself to Honkai Energy, I cannot thwart her wish."
Freya intends to rescue Kiana from this world, even if she is just a clone K423. Freya is willing to do something for her, but freeing her from the moon conflicts with her wishes.
Although this world is full of Honkai Energy, which is also beneficial to the Moon Civilization, Freya is still trying to find a way to achieve the best of both worlds.
Watching the Quantized Valkyrie and the Titan Mech unleash their powerful attacks, and seeing Welt Joyce quickly subdued by Einstein piloting the Titan Mech, Freya knew that her mission in this world was nearing its end.
Freya left instructions for Einstein, then canceled the quantum projection ahead of schedule, and her consciousness also awoke in the control pod of the original world.
[Body destroyed, consciousness returned]
"Huh? This is... the control room? So I died in another world?"
Freya, upon awakening, did not retain the memories of the Quantum Body, which was clearly a side effect of the Quantum Body being deployed across worlds.
Freya was immediately overwhelmed by the stench emanating from her own body as soon as she left the control room.
After all, she had been in the control cabin for several days, and controlling the projection across different worlds was indeed very inconvenient.
Of course, the Quantum Phantom System needs a lot of improvement, but given the Alliance's current situation, continuing to be neighbors with the Abyss Civilization would not be conducive to future development.
As soon as Freya opened the hatch, she saw Aurora outside.
"Aurora?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Freya's eyes. After all, without the memories of entering the Quantum Body, it was just a matter of closing and opening her eyes, and then the prompt interface in the control pod displayed the words "body destroyed, consciousness returned".
Freya can only speculate about her experiences in parallel worlds.
"Sister, come with me."
"I see. It seems that 'I' uploaded my memories. No, the memory upload device cannot cross worlds unless you lock onto the coordinates of that world and establish a stable communication route."
Freya, who was about to make a judgment, immediately refuted her own reasoning.
After all, given the Alliance's current situation, things aren't that easy. She didn't even know how many days she had spent in the parallel world.
"Has the Abyss Civilization set out?"
"Yes, I just left today."
Aurora, who was guiding Freya, said without turning her head that she had gone to great lengths to locate the world coordinates and quickly sent the Quantized Valkyrie and researchers such as Einstein from within the Alliance to that world.
According to their plan, Einstein would ambush Welt Joyce in that world.
To be precise, they kidnapped Welt Joyce and took him home.
"Did they just leave today? How is the mobile module's teleportation plan progressing?"
"Sister Freya, the terraforming of the moon is slower than expected. It will take at least ten more days to complete the initial terraforming. If we send the moon, which has been terraformed to this extent, to that world, it will cause the moon to lose 50% of its total volume."
"So, what about the tidal changes after the moon disappears?"
"Yes, it will cause significant damage to the Earth's surface."
Aurora she answered, appearing incredibly obedient in front of Freya, after all, her sister was truly cunning.
The feigned transformation of the moon was merely a smokescreen; after being defeated by the Abyss Civilization, she immediately resumed the previously abandoned 'Nomadic Planet Plan'.
However, instead of letting planets drift through the universe, Freya, after several time travels, turned her attention to the countless worlds that evolved from the Imaginary Tree.
Before leaving, the Moon Civilization wanted to deliver a harsh blow to the Abyss Civilization.
Of course, if it weren't for the lack of time and ability, Aurora strongly suspect that her second sister would throw hundreds of meteorites at Earth.
"Sister Freya, should we sever ties with the Abyss Civilization?"
"No way, don't talk nonsense, we are allies."
Freya answered with a serious expression, patted Aurora on the shoulder, and continued.
"Neither I nor FU would let go of the opportunity to trick the other party. I don't know what the first batch of Honkai Beast he sent to that world were. If it was a group of combat-type Honkai Beast, or Himeko leading the team, that would be fine; but if it was a large number of humanoid Honkai Beast led by Welt Joyce, and they said they were just going to a parallel world to build a front-line base, then it means they can teleport to other locations in that world... In other words, that guy didn't wait for us at all, and even built a front-line base in that world long ago."
Freya unconsciously rubbed her temples, somewhat belatedly realizing the early planning of FU.
No matter how well she could predict FU's actions, she couldn't know what FU was thinking, which made her somewhat passive when dealing with FU's calculations.
Freya didn't believe that FU and Mei had just found that parallel world; their understanding of that world was beyond imagination.
Although Freya was a little slow to react, she had similar suspicions beforehand, so she had a general idea before setting off.
Of course, Freya always made bold assumptions first, and then carefully verified them.
"Sister Freya, isn't this very bad? What if the Abyss Civilization establishes a significant enough advantage in that world..."
"Even so, we still need to move to that world, and after the entire moon has moved there, we don't plan to meet up with the people on Earth. After we pick up Aurora, we will start the drifting plan in that parallel world."
