Chapter 132: Chapter 131: Leisurely Tea Party
"Alright, back to business, is your body really okay?"
Hera looked at Sigurd and once again reached out, trying to check his physical condition.
Smack!
The same action, the same reaction, and once again, Hera's hand was slapped away by Sigurd.
Then Hera's forehead formed a crossroads.
"Don't joke around! I'm serious, the scale of this Honkai outbreak could lead to unprecedented output, the potential risks are too high!"
"Be quiet,I'm not the kind of hot-blooded idiot who doesn't care about his life."
"Oh? Is that so? Is the esteemed Sigurd not the kind of man who would fly down from outer space and level a continent with one slash?"
"There is no risk to me when I do that."
Sigurd gave a meaningful smile.
Hera was taken aback for a moment, then her lips curled up into a beautiful and innocent smile.
Fu Hua looked left and right.
Hmm, both of their smiles seem sincere, but why did she feel so uneasy?
"Hee~~ Do what you want then."
Standing in the middle, Fu Hua's expression was wooden as she scratched her nose, feeling like she shouldn't be here.
Then, with the sweeping wind and the roar of engines, the belated Hyperion finally arrived at the scene.
Shadows cast over the heads of the three, and Welt descended from the sky.
"Sigurd, well done! Whether it's that sword or the recent military declaration, they were all great! By the way, is your body alright?"
Welt stepped forward to the three, looking at Sigurd from head to toe. Seeing that he had no external injuries and his mental state seemed normal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sigurd glanced at Welt, feeling a slight relief.
This was a high-end force that would undoubtedly stand by his side. Unlike Fu Hua, whom he still felt uncertain about, with Welt around, Hera had no chance to force Sigurd into anything—Not that Sigurd think Hera would do anything, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Then, Sigurd looked up at the battleship that blocked the sun.
"Hyperion, huh..."
The size was acceptable, the aerial suspension stability was excellent, the structural layout was slightly lacking, barely balancing aesthetics and practicality—just like that, anyway, he couldn't possibly go up there and be a deck cleaner again.
"Let's go, we should leave. This isn't the place for conversation."
Sigurd stood up, and the black seat beneath him transformed into countless worker bees, dispersing into the sky with a buzzing sound.
...
On the pristine metal deck of the Hyperion, four figures walked side by side towards the interior space, disregarding the fierce winds generated by their rapid flight and even conversing casually.
"After we return, I'll bundle the consciousness network technology and soul-steel body adjustment technology for you. Remember to prepare the resurrection measures. Also, you and Fu Hua should carry a few feathers with you, just to be safe."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I'll progress too quickly?"
"I'd rather you to surpass me than suddenly disappear one day."
Hera rolled her eyes, but she spoke sincerely.
She had analyzed Sigurd's character many times.
Firstly, Sigurd was not a saintly figure; he would kill when necessary, especially if it's to save those he is close to.
At the same time, Sigurd had a moral bottom line. If he could, he would help the weak and almost never harm the innocent. Even when he was developing the hive system, the factories he robbed were all from dark forces or unscrupulous capitalists.
Moreover, Sigurd placed great emphasis on equal reciprocity. For example, in his dealings with others, Sigurd would generally return favors when he received help, never taking advantage excessively. For example, Cocolia, who worked for him, now lived a comfortable life because of her diligence.
Furthermore, Sigurd was highly rational, dominant, liked to take initiative, relatively tolerant towards children, had a certain dark sense of humor, and was cautious while also daring.
Hera couldn't say with absolute certainty what kind of person Sigurd was, but she could be sure that even if Sigurd acquired the ability to kill her one day, as long as her contributions and favors were sufficient, he would resurrect Karen.
As for whatever she would still be alive to see her again... it didn't matter. As long as Karen could be resurrected, she wouldn't mind standing still and letting Sigurd kill her.
"What's your plan for dealing with Chi You next?"
"Let's discuss it in detail later. However, for now, let's use your Honkai fission bombs and Dr. Einstein's silver bullets first, my worker bees are too small in size, and their explosive power is not enough."
"Understood, we'll follow your plan."
As the two conversed, Welt also chatted with Fu Hua. One had a purely noble disposition, while the other had a kind and gentle nature. Although it was their first meeting, there was a sense of mutual understanding and regret.
During their conversation, they entered the cabin's interior through the door.
...
In the reception hall, soft sofas and overflowing tea fragrances filled the air.
Hera lifted her tea cup high.
"To the decisive blow of Sigurd, to the end of Chi You!"
It was a toast that couldn't be refused.
So the remaining three also raised their tea cups and, following Sigurd's lead, clinked them together.
After each took a sip of tea, Sigurd calmly asked, "What are your thoughts on Chi You?"
Hera squinted her eyes as she sipped her tea, remaining silent.
Fu Hua thought for a moment and replied, "It's too massive, to the extent that it cannot be described as strong or weak; it's simply unstoppable."
Welt nodded in agreement, sighing deeply. He said, "As of right now, Chi You has been classified as a Judgement-Level Honkai beast, not unlike those of Benares.If not for Sigurd strike, I think we would have had to slowly consume its life through continuous firepower output. But in that case, by the time it stopped moving, the Asian continent would likely have been shattered and submerged, with billions of people sacrificed."
Welt's words expressed both relief and lingering fear, earning Fu Hua's wholehearted agreement.
Without Sigurd, Fu Hua's Tai Xu sword technique might not have had the same effect. After all, was such a massive body purely driven by consciousness? Where exactly was its consciousness located? What kind of intensity did it possess? These were all unknowns.
