Chapter 519
Theresa obtained further information from Lucheni and Void Archive, and then turned to try to contact the Abyss Civilization located in the Centaurus system.
Compared to the previous proximity of the Abyss Civilization occupying Earth Moon Civilization occupying the Moon, the current distance between the two sides gives Theresa a sense of security, so she naturally doesn't need to be as tense as before.
Even though Freya repeatedly emphasized that they had Kevin and that FU and Mei would not act rashly, Theresa was still worried about it.
It's important to know that FU is the so-called super-enhanced version of Freya, while Mei completely outclassed the researchers of their Moon Civilization.
How could Theresa possibly be at ease?
After Theresa took the initiative to make contact with the Abyss Civilization in the Centaur Galaxy, she didn't care who the person she contacted was. Without saying a word, she dumped all the information she had extracted from Lucheni and Void Archive on them, then cut off the contact, deleted all records, and directly blocked their communication.
Theresa's decisive action left both the Honkai Beast Kallen and the Honkai Beast Cecilia on the other side completely dumbfounded.
Then they stared at the intelligence that Theresa had handed them and fell into deep thought.
Theresa People from the Sky Civilization's fleet deployed in the galaxy to the Abyss Civilization.
Given the size of the Abyss Civilization, and the fact that they are just the right size to absorb this group of enemies, if the Abyss Civilization were to launch an attack now, they could naturally achieve victory with fewer casualties before the enemy could prepare for it.
Theresa's act of dumping all this intelligence on the Abyss Civilization clearly indicated that the Moon Civilization would not participate in the subsequent battles, and also conveyed that they had fulfilled their duties.
After all, this was intelligence that the Moon Civilization had painstakingly obtained.
Honkai Beast Kallen and Honkai Beast Cecilia looked at each other in bewilderment, and had no choice but to upload the matter to FU in a parallel world, so that he could make the final decision.
607. Reality is not a fairy tale; not everyone can have a happy ending.
Half a month after Theresa handed over the intelligence to the Abyss Civilization, the Abyss Civilization launched an ambush and successfully wiped out a portion of the main force of the People from the Sky Civilization.
Although Theresa really wanted to find a bargain, given the current state of the Moon Civilization, she didn't even have the right to do so.
That being said, the Moon Civilization has been doing quite well lately. Welt's efforts to persuade the survivors have yielded results far exceeding everyone's expectations.
After all, the lives of these more than ten million survivors were saved by Welt.
Although human memory is very short and people quickly forget so-called favors, many people remembered Welt's kindness not long after Welt survivors were rescued.
Welt's efforts were not in vain.
Although quite a few people were still instigated to leave, less than five thousand people actually left, far fewer than Theresa and the others had initially anticipated.
Everyone, including Kevin, thought it was a miracle.
A miracle created by Welt.
No one can replicate such a feat.
Even so, Welt was still disappointed that he couldn't keep the remaining five thousand people. However, since Welt had already tried to persuade them to stay, and he couldn't convince them to change their minds, Welt stopped paying attention to those who left.
Fewer than five thousand people left, while more than ten million remained.
It goes without saying which side is more important.
Welt spent half a month communicating with all the survivors. During this time, he slept less than two hours a day. Even among the five thousand who had left, Welt communicated with them several times.
Despite entrusting the Herrscher Core to Bronya and not exceeding the limits of his own will, he still achieved a miracle that almost no one believed was possible.
The miracle created by Welt also greatly inspired Kevin.
Kevin has always believed that humanity cannot defeat the Herrscher of Finality, which is why he is the staunch executor of the Stigmata Activation Plan.
However, the Herrscher of Finality can be weakened.
Although the weakened Herrscher of Finality still possessed powerful authority, it did not evoke the despair Kevin had previously experienced.
It's not just that the Herrscher of Finality's power has decreased due to its incompleteness, but also because Kevin now far stronger than he was 50,000 years ago.
He always thought his efforts were meaningless.
But now it seems that his efforts were not in vain.
Honkai itself is an unusual disaster, which, according to Mei's research, is the rhythm of the universe's periodic adjustments.
Just like typhoons, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions on Earth.
It's not a natural disaster that any cannibal with a little power can claim to be.
Honkai is born with the birth of civilization, with the ultimate goal of destroying civilization, and is forever an enemy of human civilization.
This also leads to different manifestations of Honkai, including but not limited to infecting beasts and humans, causing mutations or death, viruses (such as the Black Death and COVID-19), natural disasters (such as ice ages and volcanic eruptions), world wars, and even Honkai pure energy and the generation of Honkai Beast, as well as Herrscher, and any other form that may cause damage to human civilization.
It's not impossible that a Honkai Beast, Godzilla, could appear and destroy Earth's civilization.
In document F-1034 from the archives of a certain research organization, the concept of Honkai was explained as follows—
Honkai is a periodic natural disaster phenomenon, a rhythmic adjustment of the universe, also known as the "God Cycle".
The Honkai source is not a stable, constant entity, nor is it evenly distributed throughout the universe.
The more drastic the entropy changes in spacetime, the more Honkai Energy is generated, which in turn aggregates into more Honkai sources.
Countless small sources of Honkai will gradually coalesce into larger sources of Honkai, but this coalescing will not continue indefinitely.
The larger the Honkai source, the more unstable it is. Under external interference, it can disrupt the steady state, break through the critical equilibrium, and thus trigger a Honkai explosion.
During the explosion, a large amount of Honkai Energy is consumed in a short time, generating a powerful distortion field.
During this process, the physical properties of spacetime will be overturned on a large scale, and eventually the disorder of spacetime will return to order, entropy will decrease, and spacetime will return to calm.
However, the development of civilization, the progress of science, and the continuation of humankind are themselves a process of confronting nature.
For Stone Age humans, flash floods and typhoons were undoubtedly natural disasters they could not withstand.
The myths of many countries also contain descriptions of world-destroying floods, similar to Noah's Ark and Yu the Great's flood control efforts.
In modern society, humans live in sturdy houses and are no longer afraid of typhoons, and have powerful equipment to resist flash floods.
For humanity, Honkai has never been an insurmountable natural disaster; it's just that, in the eyes of Honkai, humanity is merely living in the Bronze Age.
Kevin didn't care about the Honkai; he saw his direction in Welt.
As a thank you, he also treated Welt, with whom he wasn't on good terms, to drinks.
At Kevin's goodwill, Welt was unable to get out of bed the next day due to a hangover, while Kevin himself tortured Valkyrie, Kiki, who volunteered to participate in the special training, and Fu Hua and Fu Hua Two who were forced to participate, to death in the training room.
Especially Fu Hua Two, unlike Fu Hua who has an extraordinary will and can distort and cover reality with her own will, her attacks are mainly based on the power of consciousness. However, for someone with an extraordinary will, the illusions created by the power of consciousness are basically useless. But because she looks too much like Fu Hua, Kevin did not show her any mercy.
From a certain perspective, Kevin Two's refusal to stay with her was quite wise; he and the others returned to their own world to restart human civilization.
The Abyss Civilization completed its ambush, which also led to a formal war between it and the People from the Sky Civilization.
Given the size of the Abyss Civilization, it will likely develop into guerrilla warfare, which also means that in the short term, the Abyss Civilization will be even less able to interfere with the development of the Moon Civilization.
During these two weeks, Aurora and the others did not slack off. They secretly dug up the Previous Civilization buildings on the moon, drained the Honkai Energy sealed inside the moon, and rescued Kiana, who had become the Herrscher of Finality in this world.
Like Kiki, Kiana, who became the Herrscher of Finality in this world, is also a Kiana clone, and is also a clone K423.
During the eight years she was sealed on the moon, time left no trace on her.
Eight years have transformed Raiden Mei from a spirited, gentle, and slightly rebellious upperclassman into a mature, peach-like single woman in her late thirties.
However, Kiana, who has become the Herrscher of Finality, still looks like a young girl of only eighteen or nineteen years old.
Moreover, she will not wake up for a while.
It wasn't the seal's effect, but rather that after she was sealed on the moon along with the Honkai Energy, she stopped thinking.
After all, within the seal, she would face a lonely and long period of time, and the Honkai Consciousness would constantly whisper in her ear, affecting her mind.
Thinking about it carefully, it's obvious that sealing oneself and 99% of the world's Honkai Energy on the moon is practically an insult to the degree of integration between oneself and Honkai Energy.
Even if Kiana can resist the corrosive effects of Honkai at the beginning, her resistance to the corrosive effects will become weaker and weaker over time.
To avoid being manipulated by the Honkai, Kiana chose to stop thinking and shut down her heart.
That being said, the repair progress of the 'Ark' of the Moon Civilization is not ideal.
Furthermore, there has been no news of Freya, Kiana, and Bianca, who have gone missing, which has exacerbated the Valkyrie's anxiety.
Previously, she could rely on her portrayal of Aurora, but now it's common knowledge that Aurora her two older sisters.
The Valkyrie loved Aurora as much as they loved Freya and Kiana, so naturally they wouldn't be unable to distinguish the differences between the three sisters.
Since they could no longer deceive the Valkyrie, the news of Freya, Kiana, and Bianca's disappearance could no longer be kept secret.
Six months later.
The war between the Abyss Civilization and the People from the Sky Civilization intensified.
However, Freya still did not return.
Two years later.
Based on the remains of the vanguard of the People from the Sky Civilization, the Moon Civilization developed new warships and then received an invitation from the Abyss Civilization to join the war against the People from the Sky Civilization.
This was one of the conditions for the agreement between the Moon Civilization and the Abyss Civilization.
Theresa and Aurora had no intention of denying it; they did indeed need a trial.
Because FU's consciousness is not yet able to invade this world, Mei becomes the person in charge of this parallel world.
Mei herself was not manipulated by FU, so for the Moon Civilization, cooperating with Mei was quite pleasant.
They also received technical assistance from Mei and learned that Freya, Kiana, and Bianca were safe and sound.
However, there is no concept of time within the Sea of Quantum, so Freya was unaware that two years had passed in the outside world.
Mei's technical assistance elevated the technology of the Moon Civilization to a new level.
After Tesla shed his intellectual impairment, he advanced the technology of the Moon Civilization to a new level. However, by this time, Einstein was also on the verge of intellectual impairment.
Three more years passed.
The Moon Ark, which suffered extensive damage due to the teleportation, was repaired. Following Freya's plan, the Moon Civilization embarked on a drifting project, while the First Fleet, fighting guerrilla warfare alongside the Abyss Civilization, gained much more experience in civilization-to-civilization warfare.
Over the years, Aurora has become increasingly capable of handling things independently.
Especially her aura; even though only five years have passed, it's as if she has lived through hundreds of years.
Moon Civilization took all the survivors away from the solar system, Bishop Theresa on Earth launched a war and successfully conquered all the countries on Earth.
During these five years, Bishop Theresa abandoned charitable aid, worked to control a country that had no ability to resist, and worked to develop military power.
Perhaps influenced by the miracle created by Welt, Bishop Theresa also chose to persuade everyone in the Schicksal, including those who originally came from the Anti-Entropy organization.
Ultimately, this Schicksal, originally intended to revive other nations, chose to create a unique nation on this earth.
This also required the assistance of the Moon Civilization.
Reality is not a fairy tale; not everyone can have a happy ending.
However, some endings can be considered happy.
Raiden Mei, who is almost forty years old, joined the Schicksal Moon Civilization in order to stay by Kiana's side.
This has resulted in a total of four Raiden Mei in the Moon Civilization. Although Kiana, whom this Raiden Mei is protecting, has not yet woken up, she is already happy just to be by her side.
Kevin joined the Abyss Civilization's fleet in guerrilla warfare and, a few months ago, returned to the Moon Civilization carrying a baby girl.
After entrusting the baby girl to his friend SU, he once again joined forces with the Abyss Civilization to fight against the People from the Sky Civilization.
In the second year Moon Civilization's lunar ark left the solar system, they received a mysterious signal from the Sea of Quantum.
The signal was found to be encrypted using the encryption methods of the Moon Civilization. After encryption was completed, they discovered that it was a distress signal sent by Freya. The Lunar Ark immediately dispatched its only quantum stealth ship.
608. The Ark Sets Away (Final Episode)
A year?
Two years?
Five years?
Or ten years?
Freya, adrift in the Sea of Quantum, had long since lost the concept of time.
She underestimated the assimilative power of the Sea of Quantum and overestimated her own resistance.
After all, the entire Moon Civilization only produced one Bianca who could swim in the Sea of Quantum. The reason she was able to resist the assimilation of the Sea of Quantum was because she sealed a World Bubble inside her body, and was able to use the power of the World Bubble to resist the assimilation of the Sea of Quantum.
