Chapter 518
Those 'Cursed Children' are born after their mothers are infected with the Gastrea virus during pregnancy, thus possessing Gastrea abilities. As the degree of viral invasion increases, these Cursed Children will become Gastrea.
In a sense, the Valkyrie are in the same predicament as these Cursed Children. With the excessive erosion of Honkai Energy, they will either become monsters called Deadman or die directly.
In the story Freya tells, most of the characters are lovable, well-behaved, and sensible little girls who fight against terrifying Gastrea while Cursed Children do not have (HX) human rights.
Although even during the Age of Schicksal, the Valkyrie did not fall into such a predicament, the story Freya told still deeply moved many Valkyrie.
In that work, the people in that world have no value to be protected.
Those who consider themselves innocent have covered their ears, eyes, and mouths. Those who persecute the Cursed Children while believing themselves to be without fault are merely venting their fear of Gastrea.
On the one hand, they lacked the courage and strength to fight against Gastrea; on the other hand, they were influenced by the subtle influence of those above them.
This also made the Valkyrie feel that she should choose who to protect.
When these remnants of the current civilization transformed into the Moon Civilization, they no longer fought for the people of the current civilization, but chose to fight for themselves and for the Alliance's still-growing 'younger generation'.
Theresa, as if possessed by Freya, replied in an icy tone.
The Freya described by Welt did indeed want to lend a helping hand, while the Freya described by Theresa would indeed disregard the lives of these people.
Although it seems somewhat contradictory, it does fit Freya's personality.
Freya doesn't mind giving a little charity to the 'weak' when she has the means.
However, there is currently no standard for whether the league has the leeway to provide handouts.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Moon Civilization was utterly defeated by the Abyss Civilization, and even fled to this world to escape the Abyss Civilization.
Given the sheer size of the Moon Civilization, neither the Schicksal on Earth nor the vanguard of the People from the Sky Civilization are a match Moon Civilization it.
They would take the main force of the People from the Sky Civilization of this world as their opponent, and even Moon Civilization would be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.
The Moon Civilization needs time to develop, and so does the Abyss Civilization. Even if the two civilizations unite now, they are no match for the People from the Sky Civilization.
This is also why Freya made the decisive choice to move.
Only in this way can the Moon Civilization break free from the constraints of the Abyss Civilization and enter a period of true rapid development.
The same applies to the Abyss Civilization.
As long as Kevin stays on the moon, FU and Mei will not dare to manufacture core technologies.
If Kevin, that reckless guy, were to destroy it, it would basically mean that several years of hard work would be wasted. But at this very moment, Kevin's intuition is exceptionally sharp.
As someone who had repeatedly tried to scheme against Kevin only to be inexplicably beaten up by Kevin, FU was naturally wary of this tactic.
FU and Mei both had a huge headache dealing with Kevin's intuitive abilities.
Kevin followed the Moon Civilization away from their original world, and FU and Mei raised a glass in celebration.
Although Mei is indeed a love-struck person, she also understands that the current Abyss Civilization is not strong enough to look down on the People from the Sky Civilization.
Even the People from the Sky Civilization, which has not yet begun its conquest of parallel worlds, possesses power far exceeding that of the Abyss Civilization, let alone the People from the Sky Civilization, which has already begun its conquest of parallel worlds.
This shows how weak the Moon Civilization was.
So here's the question.
Since the Moon Civilization is so weak, is it unnecessary for it to help ten million people?
Welt naturally had the opposite opinion. He felt that Moon Civilization was already so weak, whether or not they helped the ten million survivors wouldn't make much difference. More importantly, this farce was instigated and incited by a group of people.
While the two factions, led by Welt and Theresa, were still fiercely debating how to deal with the survivors, Kevin, who had left earlier, headed straight for Saint-Fontaine with the Greatsword of Annihilation.
The Alliance's attitude towards the survivors is basically divided into two factions: letting them fend for themselves and Welt's advocacy of persuading and retaining them.
Kevin belongs to the group that doesn't care about the survivors at all, leaving them to fend for themselves.
But he wouldn't argue with Welt about it, because no one could convince Welt.
Frankly, Kevin was also quite puzzled by the fact that Welt hadn't yet pushed his will beyond its limits.
Kevin didn't want to waste time arguing with Welt. After all, if he got involved, it would only mean Welt had to persuade one more person. Rather than wasting Welt's time persuading one more person, Kevin chose to approach the vanguard of the People from the Sky Civilization.
Their target is Kiana, who is sealed on the moon in this world.
Kevin naturally prepared to wait and see.
606. The people who know you best, besides yourself, are your enemies.
Of course, Kevin's idea of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is different from what the general public thinks of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
He charged straight at Saint-Fontaine, then cleaved through the protective shield surrounding Saint-Fontaine with a single sword strike, before destroying the [Abyssal Demon City] with another, capturing Lucheni who was left with only half a life.
A masked man, who resembled Otto, immediately surrendered.
And that was the end of it.
Unlike Freya, who couldn't achieve miracles with her Quantum Body, Kevin, appearing in this world in his true form, naturally had no limitations and could just go for it.
Bishop Theresa of the Schicksal was completely dumbfounded when she learned of this news.
To guard against the People from the Sky within Saint-Fontaine, she also collaborated with the vanguard of the Moon Civilization to establish extensive defensive measures around Saint-Fontaine.
In the end, these defensive measures were completely useless, except for wasting the precious human and material resources of the Schicksal.
Kevin, who had utterly destroyed the [Abyssal Demon City], returned carrying Lucheni, followed by a fake Otto who had surrendered.
After the masked man, who resembled Otto, surrendered, Kevin finally learned his true identity.
Otto of this world died in the final battle eight years ago. After Otto's death, Void Archive seized the Soul Steel body created by Otto and took the initiative to establish contact with the People from the Sky Civilization.
In other words, he became a traitor.
No, the Void Archive is merely a tool. Even if it possesses its own consciousness, it cannot be considered human, so it can only be considered a traitor to the planet.
By the time Kevin returned, Aurora's meeting had finally ended.
Just as Kevin had predicted before he left, Welt eventually convinced everyone and planned to personally persuade the survivors.
This is so Welt.
Kevin had no objection to this. He handed over the fake Otto who had come back with him, namely Void Archive, and Lucheni had been reduced to half a life by him, to Theresa.
With Theresa's methods, which have made her appear kind but have a dark heart under Freya's influence, she is capable of uncovering everything that Lucheni and Void Archive know.
Kevin had no intention of interfering with the management of the Moon Civilization. After completing his 'waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump', he grabbed Fu Hua, who looked utterly hopeless, and dragged her into the training room. Immediately afterward, the sounds of intense physical collisions filled the air.
The outcome was quickly decided.
"Again!"
With Freya missing, Fu Hua alone is clearly unable to meet Kevin's needs.
"Please let us participate as well."
Then, entering the training room, were three Raiden Mei, still injured.
In the War of Finality of the current civilization, everyone, including the Artificial Herrscher team, failed to withstand even a single round against the Herrscher of Finality.
Even Siegfried, who was willing to burn his life force to Honkai Beast, only managed to buy a few seconds before being pinned to the ground.
The reason why the three Raiden Mei are able to move is because they are stronger than the others, and the Herrscher of Finality them mercy. As for the super-sized Kiana and Kiki, who were targeted by the Herrscher of Finality, they did not receive such good treatment and are still recovering in the intensive care unit.
Such a crushing defeat made it impossible for Raiden Mei to remain calm.
Kevin, who had defeated Fu Hua, merely glanced at them. Their similar appearance and personality to Mei made it impossible for Kevin to ignore their request.
However, to put it bluntly, the strength of the three Raiden Mei is limited to what they can achieve.
Of course, Kevin eventually agreed to their request.
After all, Freya wasn't there, and Fu Hua alone couldn't possibly serve as a training ground.
"Come on, all of you. How much you can learn and how much stronger you can become depends on your efforts."
"Yes!" ×3
The three Raiden Mei responded in unison.
They did not want to experience that same helplessness again.
The sounds of battle soon filled the training room. Facing the combined attack of Fu Hua and three Raiden Mei, Kevin still appeared to be handling the situation with ease.
On the other hand, Lucheni and Void Archive, which were handed over by Kevin, were revealed to Theresa and People from the Sky by the former through torture and with the help of Artificial Herrscher with the ability to read minds, while the latter very obediently expressed its willingness to join Schicksal —no, I mean, to join the Moon Civilization.
When Void Archive first met Theresa, he tried to pretend to be Otto again, but Theresa saw through him immediately, and he almost ended up being dismantled.
It should be noted that the Moon Civilization already possesses two Void Archive. The first Void Archive comes from the parallel world of the Twos, while the second Void Archive was voluntarily surrendered by the true Otto after he defected to the Moon Civilization.
In other words, the current Moon Civilization does not really need the Void Archive.
So if the imposter Otto's Void Archive doesn't behave, Theresa wouldn't mind dismantling a Divine Key.
It is important to know that the Moon Civilization obtained the Divine Key of two worlds. However, some of the Divine Key were severely damaged. Even though the Soul Steel used to create the Divine Key had self-repairing capabilities, the damage to those Divine Key was beyond the scope of repair.
Void Archive did not want to become scrap metal, it honestly confessed everything.
It turns out that Otto had discovered traces of People from the Sky Civilization years ago.
Of course, Otto from the original world also made some discoveries about this. At that time, the Anti-Entropy organization, which had not yet formed an alliance with them, was also a witness to that event, which involved another Star Civilization. In the parallel world of Two, there are even more detailed records.
If it were only this much information, the Void Archive that was impersonating Otto would inevitably be dismantled.
Fortunately, this scoundrel wasn't a traitor for nothing. He did intend to be People from the Sky Civilization, but People from the Sky Civilization.
The People from the Sky Civilization of this world is still in the stage of exploring parallel worlds, and naturally has not yet started its plan to conquer parallel worlds.
It is precisely for this reason that the People from the Sky Civilization needs a large amount of Honkai Energy, which is why they target this Earth.
According to findings from probes in earlier years, this planet is filled with the fragrance of Honkai Energy, and the level of civilization on the planet is very low.
This is also why the People from the Sky Civilization sent out an advance force.
Lucheni never expected that he would fail like this.
Meanwhile, Bishop Theresa of the Schicksal is trying to make contact with the Moon Civilization located in the Arctic. After several failed attempts, she has to turn her attention to Einstein and Welt Joyce, who are on their honeymoon.
Although there is an Einstein in the Schicksal, there is also an Einstein in the Moon Civilization, and he is not single.
Bishop Theresa clearly wanted to know about Kevin had directly shattered the protective shield.
In this world, there is also a man named Kevin Kaslana. He is not only Fusion Warrior from Previous Civilization, but also the founder of the Kaslana Family and the leader of the World Serpent Organization.
Yes, it's basically the same as the original world and Kevin's setting in the parallel world of Two.
However, the Kevin in this world, and the Kevin in the parallel world of Two, are far less powerful than this Kevin who can directly shatter the protective shield.
Unfortunately, Bishop Theresa did not obtain any information from Einstein. After all, Einstein was determined not to interfere in anything for a while, as he just wanted to enjoy his honeymoon and then study the interspecies reproduction of Valkyrie and Honkai Beast.
Although Mei left behind a lot of information, the reason she and Kevin were able to have a child was because Kevin was originally human, so they were able to extract effective genetic factors from Kevin's body. But the current Welt Joyce is a complete humanoid Honkai Beast.
With so many other troubles to deal with, Einstein didn't have time to meddle, especially since Kevin was involved.
As for my understanding of Kevin, it's basically limited to SU, Mei, and FU. Freya could barely be considered half a person.
Of course, her understanding of Kevin stemmed from her understanding of her adversary.
As the saying goes, the people who know you best, besides yourself, are your enemies.
Einstein stated that he was not familiar with Kevin, nor with SU, and that Freya was now missing, so how could she possibly explain it?
Should we introduce Kevin to Bishop Theresa?
It's important to know that the Moon Civilization won't stay on this planet for long. Once the Honkai Energy sealed within the moon is removed, the Moon Civilization will begin the first phase of its drifting plan.
At that time, the Moon Civilization will drift along, collecting resources along the way, and build an even more powerful civilization.
Having finally escaped the Abyss Civilization, the Moon Civilization naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity for development.
Although FU cannot come to this world, it is unknown whether Mei will come, since the Abyss Civilization has already established a branch base in the Centaur star system of this parallel world.
This parallel world is also within the hunting range of the Abyss Civilization.
