Chapter 507

FU hesitated. Even though the Abyss Civilization taken precautions against various unforeseen events, the tidal phenomenon created by using lunar teleportation could indeed cause some trouble for them.

Seeing Freya nod without any hesitation, FU couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

"That's right, I'm going to make a big splash."

"??"

"I will bring Mars here."

"... Rock? No, it's Star?"

Only at this moment did FU feel particularly troubled because he couldn't directly influence Freya. As a backup vessel for the Herrscher of Finality, Freya could only talk about the Herrscher of Finality's influence.

While both the Herrscher of Finality and the Honkai Consciousness belong to the Honkai system, the Honkai Consciousness cannot directly affect the Herrscher of Finality. In some worlds, the Herrscher of Finality is the Honkai Consciousness itself.

Although in this world, the Herrscher of Finality is the Herrscher of Finality, Honkai Consciousness is the Honkai Consciousness, which prevents the two from directly influencing each other, even if the Honkai Consciousness can indirectly affect the Herrscher of Finality, it can never affect the Herrscher of Finality's backup vessel.

After all, as long as there are enough spare containers, the Herrscher of Finality is an immortal being.

Generally speaking, the backup vessel of the Herrscher of Finality will not show any signs before awakening. Even an ordinary girl can immediately transform into the Herrscher of Finality if she is chosen by the Herrscher of Finality.

Freya's backup container, created by exploiting a bug, not only granted her partial control over the Herrscher of Finality even without the Herrscher of Finality's consciousness possessing her, but also allowed her to ignore the Honkai Consciousness's commands because the real Herrscher of Finality had not awakened.

Of course, if Kiana awakens, then Freya will naturally have no ability to resist.

Just like the Battle of the Abyss many years ago, Freya's rampage caused Kiana to Herrscher Transformation, which in turn led to her being influenced by the consciousness of the Herrscher of Finality.

Kiana also knows that she is Freya's weakness, and once she awakens, it won't just be Freya who will be affected; Aurora, who is connected to Freya, will also be affected.

They are a trinity of Herrscher of Finality, whose glory and ruin are intertwined.

For this reason, Kiana has never neglected to hone her willpower and has rarely used her Finality Mode.

The power brought by the Finality Mode is very addictive. Kiana worries that one day she will not be able to control her dependence on the Finality Mode and will become too addicted to the power that does not belong to her, causing herself and her two sisters to be unable to get rid of the influence of the Herrscher of Finality's consciousness.

Like the Herrscher of Finality, the backup vessel possesses absolute control over Honkai Energy and can also utilize the abilities of all Herrscher.

Just as Freya can now use the powers of the Herrscher of Rock, she can also use the powers of the Herrscher of Stars, which are based on gravity and gravitation.

In her Finality state, enhanced by the power of her will, Freya is confident that she can use the power of the Herrscher of Stars to draw Mars, which is closer to Earth, over.

Even if it can't directly hit Earth, just pulling Mars off its original orbit would be enough to make it move towards Earth. In the end, whether Earth is pulled by Mars' gravity or Mars is pulled by Earth's gravity, Freya's goal can be achieved.

"..."

FU felt he was ruthless enough and was also aware that he was a super bastard.

He never imagined that the teenage version of himself, whose remaining consciousness had been reincarnated, would be even more of a bastard than himself.

"You have no intention of taking back Earth?"

"We can't take it back, so we are a drifting civilization named 'Moon Civilization'."

"You can't convince anyone else that you're going to destroy the Earth."

Seeing the change in Theresa's expression, FU couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Although I was indeed taken aback by Freya's actions, upon closer reflection, both the survivors and the Valkyrie harbored a sliver of hope to reclaim their homeland.

If Freya were to do this for her own selfish reasons, or even destroy the Earth, then her reputation would be completely ruined.

Bang--!!

Just then, Theresa slammed her hand on the table, causing Freya and Fu to look at her.

"I'll take responsibility."

Theresa, who had been silent because of FU's declaration of war, made an unexpected statement that silenced Freya and FU.

The meeting was originally scheduled to be between FU and Theresa. FU knew that it would be easier to obtain information from Theresa if they met alone.

As it turned out, his suspicions before the talks were all correct.

Fortunately, like Freya, Theresa is prone to threatening war because she values the lives of others too much.

Neither Freya nor Fu expected Theresa to be so decisive and ruthless in destroying the Earth.

"Freya, since we only have two more days to leave, let's use the power of the Herrscher of Stars to guide Mars now. If the Moon Civilization and the Abyss Civilization go to war, I will take full responsibility."

Theresa's gaze held a hint of ferocity, a stark contrast to her usual docile and easily teased demeanor. Freya didn't even recognize Theresa for a moment.

"Tsk, is this the demon king aura that made me tremble before being served in Tianma, but turned out to be after being served?"

Theresa, who was just a moment ago like an innocent little rabbit, has now undoubtedly been upgraded to a demon rabbit.

FU was curious about what had caused such a drastic change in Theresa, who was unwilling to go to war.

"Can you tell me? What made you become like this?"

"I have never changed. If the Moon Civilization goes to war with the Abyss Civilization, it means that the weak Moon Civilization will be destroyed immediately. Even if Freya tells me today that she has a 70% chance of winning, I will immediately reject her proposal and even use the veto power of the seven Head of Administration."

Theresa, with a hint of fierceness on her face, resembled a warrior who was always on the battlefield.

Freya then remembered that before she and Kiana were born, Theresa had already experienced countless deadly battles on the battlefield as a qualified Valkyrie.

A battle on the edge of life and death can change a person's will; Theresa is not as soft and naive as she imagined.

As a Valkyrie is always on the battlefield, she has experienced countless times having to make choices that require sacrificing a few to save more people.

On the battlefield of Honkai, she must sacrifice her teammates in order to save more people.

The pain Freya experienced, Theresa also experienced.

Theresa experienced the same pain that the Valkyrie went through.

The Valkyrie of the Schicksal era retired before the age of thirty, but Theresa's age was almost twice that.

She lost kind seniors, classmates from the same year, and juniors who needed her care.

Even during the Second Eruption, Theresa lost the person most important to her.

To avoid worrying anyone, she, like Freya, hid her true feelings.

However, unlike Freya's carefree nature, Theresa, with her richer experience, acted as if nothing was amiss.

Just as Kiana only showed Rita her frustrated side, she thought only Rita knew the pressure she was under, but she didn't know that Theresa, as someone who had been through it all, understood Freya's mindset better.

Even though Freya inherited many memories and common sense from FU, like Aurora, no matter how mature she looks, she is still just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

"I don't care about the love-hate entanglements between you 'Previous Civilization'. For me, I will stop at nothing to take revenge on the Honkai I hate whenever I can."

"... As expected, Theresa is a true Valkyrie."

After understanding Theresa's mindset, Freya couldn't help but express her feelings, only to be immediately met with a glare from Theresa.

"Look down on me all you want. As Valkyrie, I am the senior of all the Valkyrie in the Alliance."

As Valkyrie still in active service, Theresa is indeed the oldest and most experienced of all the Valkyrie.

She has been on Honkai Battlefield many times, sometimes dragging others down, and sometimes being dragged down by others.

Later, she served as an instructor at the Schicksal Headquarters, and then as the branch manager in the Far East, where she also established a Valkyrie training academy.

After Otto's disappearance, she took on the Grand Bishop's Aide, handling the affairs of the Grand Bishop of Schicksal, and her every word and action affected the safety of countless people.

She then cleaned up the diplomatic mess left by Freya during her early rule, and managed to maintain good relations with various countries even under such circumstances.

Both FU and Freya couldn't help but cover their faces. In their minds, Theresa was just some magical girl, Teresa, and a super cute girl who liked bitter melon juice.

When she truly revealed her fangs, Fu and Freya realized that they had indeed been deceived by their preconceived notions about Theresa.

Rather, the most abnormal thing is that after going through so much, the Theresa they knew didn't become the alcoholic Theresa from the world of the Light Chaser.

"Since there are only two days left, the alliance is large enough to hold off the Abyss Civilization."

When it comes to resentment towards the Honkai, few in the Alliance can surpass Theresa.

Freya leaned back in her chair until Theresa revealed her fierce expression, at which point she realized that the other Valkyrie.

He held the position of Grand Bishop of Schicksal, the Head of Administration, for a long time.

FU, who originally intended to gather intelligence by declaring war, discovered that the Abyss Civilization was suddenly in a precarious situation. Although the destruction of Earth could not truly destroy the Abyss Civilization, it also meant that the Abyss Civilization's plans on Earth over the past few years had been completely wasted.

"When a fierce wolf spends forty years disguising herself as a rabbit, no one can discover her intentions until she tears off the disguise... I never expected that you would pull this stunt at this time."

Theresa, who had always been treated as a mascot, was taken for granted by everyone. When she finally revealed her true colors, even Fu was caught off guard.

593. In our final battle, Theresa won.

Seeing FU, who had threatened Theresa with war, now looking like a rabbit that had been bitten by a desperate animal, Freya couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, even if it were Freya herself, Freya probably wouldn't have expected Theresa's sudden counterattack.

In particular, Theresa, like Rita, has always been there for Freya as she grows up, or rather, she has watched Freya grow up.

In Freya's eyes, Theresa has always been a cute and scatterbrained mascot girl.

Freya once thought that Theresa was not suitable to be the Grand Bishop of Schicksal, nor could she be a politician who was kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside.

Therefore, Freya positioned Theresa as a cute, human-shaped stamp—

In fact, Theresa did do that at first. Most of her work was handled by her adjutant, and she gained experience among a group of people as a mascot before gradually venturing into unfamiliar areas.

By the time Freya and the others came to their senses, Theresa was already handling the relationships between the alliance and various countries with ease.

Freya had always thought her older sister was Little Red Riding Hood, carrying a basket to visit her grandfather. But when the Big Bad Wolf blocked her way, she suddenly pulled out an enormous hunting rifle from under her skirt and declared that she was a top hunter from the Wolf Hunting Association. Although she hadn't hunted for over ten years, the gray, white, silver, black, and lecherous wolves she had killed back then filled her entire castle.

The Moon Civilization, which had been on the defensive, gained the upper hand for the first time in its confrontation with the Abyss Civilization.

"I'm so sorry, FU, but Theresa won our final battle."

Freya said with a smile that she hadn't felt this happy in years.

Both FU and Freya are threats, but they know each other too well. If Freya were to declare that she would use the power of the Herrscher of Stars to guide Mars to destroy Earth, FU could even guess the limits of the Herrscher of the Stars' power from Freya's attitude.

Yes, Freya can indeed use the power of the Herrscher of Stars to manipulate Mars, but there is a possibility of failure.

Even if it succeeds, it will only destroy an Earth civilization, which will be of no consequence to FU, who is a Honkai Consciousness.

Since the Centaur Galaxy in the parallel world has become a branch base of the Abyss Civilization, Freya has reason to believe that the Centaur Galaxy in the original world was also a branch base of the Abyss Civilization.

Freya's threat might be insignificant to FU, but Theresa's threat is something FU has to take seriously.

After all, Freya is capable of compromise, and she will even make concessions if the conditions are right and the benefits are sufficient.

This is the wisdom and habit that Otto bestowed upon her.

A Valkyrie has been a mascot for decades launches an attack on the Abyss Civilization in the name of revenge. Regardless of whether Freya's attempt to tether Mars succeeds or not, FU needs to guard against the enemy making arrangements against the Abyss Civilization before leaving.

Just as Freya said, this battle, which can be seen as the final battle between FU and Freya, was ultimately won by Theresa.

FU ended the communication. Even if the Earth were destroyed, it would be of no consequence to the Honkai Consciousness. He did not want his efforts, accumulated over several years, to vanish in a few days.

FU's show of weakness improved Freya's mood even more.

"Theresa, you really fooled me!"

Freya, in a good mood, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to tease Theresa.

Hearing the taunts, Theresa covered her flushed face. Even though she had the side of Valkyrie, after being a mascot for decades, the way of life of a mascot had long become her nature.

Freya couldn't help but laugh when she saw Theresa looking like a flustered little rabbit.

Perhaps it is precisely because Theresa has this nature that her angry mutterings about revenge seem more real.

In order to minimize their losses, the Abyss Civilization located on Earth will inevitably choose to leave this planet.

Of course, even if the Abyss Civilization leaves Earth, the Moon Civilization has no hope of reclaiming Earth, as the Alliance's current strength is insufficient to defend it.

"Hey-hey..."

Covering her flushed and burning cheeks, Theresa didn't explain much.

This was also the first time she had shown herself as Valkyrie in front of others.

If it weren't for this chance encounter, Freya would have forgotten that Theresa was not only a former S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, but also a user of a Divine Key.

Of course, in the current level of combat, neither S-rank Valkyrie nor users of the Divine Key can keep up.

After all, the current Type-B Valkyrie and Herrscher-style Valkyrie are both equivalent to the S+ rank Valkyrie of the past. Furthermore, the Type-B Stigmata Overload Mode and the Resonance Starmap of the Key of Reason can unleash combat power several times or even ten times greater than their current strength.

Freya's tournament system requires each Valkyrie squad to compete against other squads every week, with rankings determined by points. It also mimics certain board games, relegating the bottom five teams in each quarter and promoting the top five teams.

This is also why the number of Valkyrie in the main force is fixed, but their strength, experience, and tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Of course, even Bianca's team can be defeated in the A1 group, which has no room for further advancement, due to environmental issues and tactical arrangements.
