Chapter 508

In fact, even Freya herself wanted to participate in this round-robin tournament, but she considered that if she suppressed her strength, even if she had two or three times the level of Bianca and the others, she probably wouldn't be able to beat them.

They might end up staying in Group D4, or even be eliminated from the main team.

It was precisely because of these considerations, and for the sake of her reputation, that Freya refrained from suppressing her own strength to participate in the round-robin tournament.

Although Freya did not participate, Kevin and Fu Hua often suppressed their strength and participated in the round-robin tournament as special guests.

Both of them have exceptional combat experience and superb combat skills, making them ideal mentors for the Valkyrie participating in the round-robin tournament.

Especially when their strength is suppressed to less than one percent of its original strength, and they are remotely controlling Armed Puppet that are only half a person tall, Kevin and Fu Hua occasionally make mistakes.

The most famous battle took place in the snowy mountains, where Kevin was sniped by Bronya.

That also set a record for the shortest battle.

That's right. As soon as they entered the snowy mountain environment, Bronya immediately fired a Kevin. Kevin had just entered the snowy mountain environment, didn't even have time to react before he was headshot.

This is understandable, since Kevin entered the simulation room battlefield with the intention of giving guidance, and it was his first time experiencing a snowy mountain environment hit by a blizzard.

Bronya and her squad spent countless hours studying this map, making the snowy mountain environment the Silver Wolf Squad's home turf. Furthermore, the blizzard-swept snowy mountain environment meant that even Bianca and Sophia were almost inevitably targeted by snipers.

Even Theresa marveled at Freya's ingenious use of the simulation training room, employing virtual training within the room for round-robin tournaments to hone the Valkyrie's combat experience, skills, and tactics, while also using physical projections to train their bodies.

In reality, the energy consumed by using the simulation training room in this way is considerable, but after Freya awakened as the Herrscher of Finality, with the power to absolutely control Honkai Energy, the Alliance's Honkai Energy power plant has been upgraded countless times with her cooperation.

Especially when it explodes out of control, it will not cause any casualties. Any explosion caused by Honkai Energy will be suppressed by Freya. This makes the researchers who create the power reactor completely disregard the consequences and even let themselves go.

When researchers created several colossal Honkai Energy reactors, it meant that the Moon Civilization could begin its Nomadic Planet Plan.

As Theresa had predicted, Freya used the power of the Herrscher of Stars to pull Mars toward Earth's location, and it was expected to make contact with Earth's gravity within five days.

In the past two days, FU has naturally received no shortage of disdain from Mei. Earth's resources are quite abundant, enough to establish a powerful Honkai Civilization.

However, FU's declaration of war provoked a strong counterattack from Theresa.

In fact, Mei was completely stunned when she learned from FU that the target of this strong counterattack against the Abyss Civilization was a little white rabbit.

This was the first time she had ever realized that Theresa, this little white rabbit, could actually get angry and bite.

Aurora. In order to guide the Moon Civilization's moon teleportation to the correct location, she immediately went into space without even touching the ground.

After all, if the moon of the Moon Civilization were moved to the side of Earth in a parallel world, the tidal phenomena caused by the two moons would cause huge (HX) trouble for the Earth, which is in the process of revival.

Moreover, that moon itself will not remain in the solar system; its target is the vast Milky Way, where countless planets hold abundant resources waiting to be explored, and there are even civilizations that can unite to fight against the Honkai of the universe.

This is why Freya called the Moon Civilization a drifting civilization; regardless of whether Earth was destroyed or not, the Moon Civilization would be far away from its home planet.

Freya did not announce this in the Moon Civilization, but she did leave a message in the Valkyrie community to let all the Valkyrie know where their future lay.

In that previous crushing defeat, not only the survivors felt lost, but many people in the alliance also felt lost, including the Valkyrie who had always followed Freya.

They were still willing to give their lives for Freya, and they still did their best to complete the tasks assigned by Freya, but they felt lost and could not find their way in the future.

Even setting aside the direction, many Valkyrie simply became withdrawn, which led to many Valkyrie squad being relegated during the round-robin tournament.

During the Schicksal period, the Valkyrie were expendable objects brainwashed by Bishop Otto, and tools used to achieve interests with various countries.

The Valkyrie of Schicksal have many services, including escorting personnel, protecting VIPs, and even assassinations.

After Freya and Theresa took over, they retained most of the business, or rather, they subdivided the Valkyrie's duties, and some business that should not belong to the Valkyrie was given to the Scavenger Force and the Covert Mobile Force specially trained by Otto.

With their roles more specialized, Valkyrie can engage in scientific research or continue to serve as warriors. Most importantly, those who have served as Valkyrie and been on the battlefield are more likely to be promoted.

After Freya dealt with most of the high-ranking members of the Schicksal, many important positions became vacant.

The Valkyrie were originally just tools and consumables, now have the power to choose their future.

Valkyrie are no longer consumables, but a profession they can be proud of, symbolizing both wealth and power.

But both wealth and power need to rely on human society.

After that crushing defeat, human civilization was rendered virtually extinct, and so-called wealth and power became meaningless. This caused many Valkyrie who had high hopes for the future to lose their way and the motivation to continue fighting.

594. Happy Birthday

Even if the Valkyrie are lost, they will still obey the orders they give, but they are also in great pain because they can't find their way.

It was only then that Freya realized the difference between tools and people.

Humans have hearts, but tools do not.

There will be pain, anxiety, confusion, mistakes, sadness, despair, hatred...

Valkyrie are not perfect; they have many flaws, but that is proof of their spirit. They may stop because of sadness, or even become despondent and give up on themselves, but they also have a shining quality of moving forward despite their pain.

Of course, tools without a heart would not have this problem; they would neither stop because of sadness nor carry any pain as they move forward, and they would indeed achieve their goals.

With Freya's abilities, she could have created an organization without a heart, but she ultimately chose to be Valkyrie with a heart.

Freya preferred the latter more, and besides, she herself also experienced pain, anxiety, hesitation, and made many mistakes.

Even Freya herself is a person with a heart, so how could she force her favorite Valkyrie to become a heartless tool?

That being said, the Valkyrie' morale is indeed low.

Since they couldn't find their way, Freya, as their guardian, naturally had to guide them.

Freya made this news public in the Valkyrie community in order to prepare the Valkyrie mentally.

She arranged for Theresa to give a speech exclusively for the Valkyrie.

Having been a politician for many years, Theresa is now very skilled at public speaking, and she gathers all the Valkyrie to give a speech.

Like Bishop Otto, Theresa encouraged all the Valkyrie with the art of words, pointing out that they were about to go to another world, and that the Valkyrie's rights would be guaranteed again.

An unknown new world, endless battles, a prestigious identity...

Theresa's vision of the future made the Valkyrie realize that it was not yet time for them to stop.

The Valkyrie cannot see a direction because of the power of the Abyss Civilization; they cannot see a future where they can defeat Abyss Civilization.

A future without hope, a battle without a future, a battle without meaning.

Now, Theresa has painted a future for them, given them a reason to fight, and told them the meaning of their existence.

"I'm so touched..."

Otto wiped away a few tears from the corner of his eye and said to Freya beside him.

The hall chosen for the speech resembled an opera house, with the tiered seating in front of the stage filled with Valkyrie, so much so that many Valkyrie had no seats and had to squat in the aisles.

Freya was in a private room on the second floor, munched on the sunflower seeds next to her, clearly not listening to Otto's words.

Freya gazed at the young girl giving a speech on stage, still finding it hard to believe that she, who looked twelve, was actually almost fifty.

At this point, some people will definitely be excited about such a legal loli.

After Theresa finished her speech, thunderous applause filled the hall, and all the Valkyrie were looking forward to a new world.

With a reason to fight, there is no need to fear battles that offer no hope of victory. When their battles have meaning, when their existence has meaning, the Valkyrie see the future they desire.

Although most of the Valkyrie were inspired by Theresa's speech to fight for the Moon Civilization at the cost of their lives, Freya would not let them sacrifice in vain. In fact, to reduce the number of sacrifices, she not only doubled the Valkyrie's training, but also mass-produced the Quantum Phantom System and the control pod.

Freya will only let them go out and have fun once everyone possesses Quantum Body that allows them to quickly revive even if they die in battle.

"Don't you have anything to say about Theresa's growth?"

"I have nothing to say, but rather, you underestimated Theresa's growth."

Otto, unaware that Theresa had turned the tables on 'General' FU, naturally couldn't understand the meaning behind Freya's exclamation.

Otto, however, was not oblivious. Noticing Freya's strange tone, he subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

"It seems that something interesting happened in a place I was unaware of."

"Yes, it's very interesting. Only Theresa, FU, and I know about it, but I won't tell you anything."

Freya wore a mocking smile. Mars had already deviated from its original orbit under the influence of the Herrscher of Stars' power, and the Moon Civilization would be transported to a parallel world tomorrow.

According to intelligence detected by the Alliance's few surviving satellites, the Abyss Civilization almost completely demolished the original functional buildings and converted them all into large teleportation portals.

The Earth has too much mass; even if the Abyss Civilization possessed technology far superior to that of the Moon Civilization, it would be impossible to transport the entire Earth to a parallel world.

In fact, let alone transporting the entire Earth, even just transporting resources and people would result in a terrifying 50% loss rate.

If it's a small amount of data being transmitted, losses can be avoided. However, as the volume of data being transmitted increases, the difficulty of transmission also gradually increases.

FU cannot risk half its resources by transferring all Honkai Beast and resources to a parallel world, since this world is the foundation for FU's development.

This is also why Freya is willing to go to any lengths to transport the Moon Civilization to a parallel world.

"Don't say such unromantic things, I'm very curious."

Otto asked with a smile.

Freya gently shook her head. The large portal located in the Abyss Civilization is probably connected to the Centaur star system.

Sending Kevin at this point could very well destroy two of the Abyss Civilization's bases, at the cost of losing Kevin.

Freya spoke listlessly to Otto while pondering whether she should pay such a price.

However, Freya only pondered for a moment before giving up on thinking about it further.

It's obvious that exchanging two bases for Kevin is too much of a loss for the alliance. They should at least trade Kevin and the Honkai Consciousness FU for one in one.

Simply changing two bases won't buy the Moon Civilization much time. On the contrary, Kevin Moon Civilization restrain FU and Mei, the Moon Civilization will find it difficult to hold back the Abyss Civilization.

Otto continued to ask questions out of curiosity, but Freya showed no intention of satisfying her curiosity.

Freya didn't want to guess what Otto was thinking, who had made a special trip to watch Theresa's speech with her today.

After the speech, the Valkyrie's morale was indeed boosted, and their eyes sparkled.

As for the survivors of the Moon Civilization, Freya and Theresa felt there was no need to reveal too much information to them.

Ignorance can sometimes be a kind of happiness.

Survivors are not suited to endure more suffering, as most have not yet recovered from their previous ordeal.

"In that case, I'll have to seek answers from others."

Otto, undeterred by not getting an answer from Freya, let out a regretful sigh and left without looking back.

Watching Otto's retreating figure, Freya curled her lip and said nothing more.

Everything is proceeding intensively in order to transport the moon to a parallel world. As Aurora sister, Freya has already sensed Aurora's guidance.

Being able to sense the existence of another across a world requires both Freya's inherited power of consciousness and Aurora's inherited power of space, but the most crucial element is the awakening that further enhances their abilities.

Although Freya and Aurora's awakening went awry, Aurora, who possesses powerful spatial abilities, can not only provide spatial power across worlds through her connection with Freya, but also guide the teleportation process.

On the way back, Freya was considering whether to send Kevin to harass the Abyss Civilization.

But before he could dismiss his thoughts, he found his room door suddenly open.

"Happy birthday, Lord Freya."

Inside the door was Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, who warmly offered her her blessings.

"Rita? So today is my birthday."

Freya couldn't help but smile, then shook her head.

As Kiana's clone, Freya's birthday is actually calculated from the moment she opens her eyes. Aurora is the same, except that when she was taken away from Siegfried by Schicksal and followed Tesla and Welt, she decided her own birthday based on Kiana's real birthday.

Of course, Tesla did suggest that the day Aurora became her adopted daughter be her birthday.

In the end Aurora said she wanted it all, so much so that she actually celebrated her birthday three times a year, received three gifts, made three wishes, and slept with three girls, cough cough.

Aurora's biggest wish is to be with Raiden Mei, Iserin, Huohuo, and others, and to be together forever.

Because such a wish didn't really seem like a wish, it was eventually coordinated to randomly select one lucky participant.

Aurora, who celebrates her birthday three times a year, Freya naturally knew why the arrogant bishop had come to her today.

In fact, Freya's relationship with him wasn't bad.

Aside from being severely coerced and threatened at the beginning, Freya almost became withdrawn as a result, but her subsequent treatment goes without saying.
