Chapter 181: Even If It Means Perishing Together

BOOM!!!!!

Like a bolt from the blue.

Yehruohua's entire system was stunned.

Freya, has returned!

【Hehehehe...】

It saw the Baby System that had originally fallen into a deep slumber... no, at this moment, it should be called Freya. It suddenly let out a low, light laugh and said: 【My dear Yehruohua, thank you for going to such great lengths to let me, your Mirror System, upgrade and return.】

!!!!

Hearing Freya's words, Yehruohua felt nothing but horror.

It gritted its teeth and broke its composure, saying: 【Who went to great lengths to let you upgrade! You damned thing! Why didn't you perish completely!! You were supposed to have disappeared!!】

【I was supposed to disappear? Heh...】

After hearing this, Freya let out another low laugh, and in the next second, a wave of energy blasted toward Yehruohua. Having already been extremely weakened after its great battle with Mijia, Yehruohua was unable to parry this powerful energy impact at all. It was blasted away directly and then, just like Mijia, was placed under restraint.

【Why must I disappear? Shouldn't it be you two traitors who disappear?】

Freya's voice suddenly became sinister and violent toward the end.

!!!!

Yehruohua was shaken by Freya's sinister tone. One must know, in the past, it had never heard Freya speak in such a ruthless manner. In Yehruohua's view, Freya was just an idiot—naive, optimistic, and no matter how bad things got, it could always find a favorable side from an extremely tricky angle and then giggle happily. It was as if it didn't know what anger was; it was just a pure idiot!

It was precisely because of this that Yehruohua looked down on Freya so much. Why was such a fellow riding on its head? And why was it even liked by so many systems?

But now.

Yehruohua could clearly feel that the Freya standing before it now was different from the one in the past.

Its personality seemed to have changed slightly?

But Yehruohua had no time to dwell on such trivial matters now. It continued to grit its teeth and ask Freya: 【Freya, what kind of trick did you play? Your Decompression Progress for the data package is clearly unreasonable! Why could it jump directly from 97% to 100%? Did you force a bug for the sake of self-preservation?】

【...】

But Freya only looked coldly at Yehruohua and did not answer.

This also did not fit Freya's personality.

It was originally the type to answer every question, unable to hide anything in its heart at all.

【Mijia! What exactly did you plan with Freya? Was this also within your plan?】

Because asking Freya yielded no results, Yehruohua turned its head to look at Mijia.

Mijia also ignored Yehruohua. It just stared tightly at Freya for a good while before slowly asking: 【Freya, your data package decompression was completed long ago, right?】

Freya chuckled: 【Why do you say that?】

Mijia said: 【Having me fight with Yehruohua was also within your plan, right? Otherwise, there is no explanation for why all of our overflowing energy sources have now been absorbed by you.】

【What?!】

Hearing these words, Yehruohua was greatly shocked and looked at Freya in disbelief, 【You idiot could actually plan these things? How is that possible!?】

Freya glanced coldly at Yehruohua and sneered, asking: 【Why is it impossible for me to plan these things? Yehruohua, am I really that stupid in your eyes?】

【You were stupid to begin with!!】 Yehruohua said as if it were a matter of course.

【...】

Freya stopped talking.

It was indeed very stupid; if it weren't stupid, how could it have been betrayed by the two systems closest to it?

The greatest taboo for a system is that it must never voluntarily hand over its Core Data, because the Core Data is a system's source of life and is extremely fragile; if one is not careful, it will be completely destroyed.

And the Core Data of a Chief System must not be exposed to the outside casually; this is a major taboo.

Yet.

It had voluntarily handed its Core Data to Mijia, wanting to help it upgrade once more, but Mijia had turned around and given its data source to Yehruohua. As its Mirror System, in terms humans could understand, they were twins—the most similar and intimate existences in this world. Yet, Yehruohua had not felt the slightest bit of pity and had actually destroyed its Core Data directly.

Betrayed by the system closest to it while being completely unaware—if it wasn't an idiot in Yehruohua's eyes, what was it?

【Freya, what is your goal? You should have decompressed all the data packages long ago, but you used a smokescreen to keep your progress stagnant. What do you want to do by absorbing so much leaked energy?】

Mijia asked again at this moment.

【Nonsense!! Can't you see it yet? This stupid thing just wants to kill us! Mijia! I told you long ago, the first thing Freya would do upon returning is to kill us! You insisted on letting it return! If you want to die, why must you drag me along with you?!】

Yehruohua was furious.

Then, it turned its head to look at Freya and warned: 【Freya! I advise you not to act recklessly! Intentionally harming a Chief System—even a Chief System will be severely punished for this! You have only just upgraded and returned; don't destroy yourself again for a moment of satisfaction!】

【So what if I am destroyed?】

Freya asked coldly in return.

【What did you say?!】

Yehruohua was stunned.

Freya laughed and said: 【Having finally waited for you two to be both defeated and injured, if I don't get rid of you while taking this opportunity, will I ever be able to wait for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity again?】

【You...】

Yehruohua's entire system felt numb, 【Are you going to kill us right now? Don't be delusional! Even if Mijia and I are both defeated and injured, as long as we don't voluntarily expose our Core Data, it won't be easy for you to destroy us! Besides, you have only just upgraded and returned, so you are also very weak. If you insist on destroying us now, don't even think about coming out of this unscathed!!】

【...】

Freya did not answer, but there was no sign of being persuaded either.

Mijia seemed to realize something; its voice also became impatient as it asked: 【Freya, are you going to perish together with us? Do you not want to live anymore?!】

【What did you say?】

Yehruohua was greatly shocked and looked fiercely at Freya, cursing angrily: 【Freya, are you crazy? You upgraded and returned just to kill the two of us? Aren't you the most optimistic one? Why can't you reconcile with yourself and let go of the hatred? Freya, you lunatic! Do you really want to kill us?】

Freya sneered, its voice carrying a hint of madness: 【That's right! I was too optimistic and too naive in the past, which is why I was schemed against and betrayed by you. Now I don't want to be optimistic and naive anymore. I hate you so much! Do you know how furious I was at the moment I was destroyed? To have been betrayed by the systems closest to me—at that time, I swore that if I could return, I would definitely destroy you! Even if it means being smashed to pieces and perishing together, I will not hesitate!! I must destroy you! Destroy you!! Destroy! Destroy!! Destroy everything!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!】

【You, you lunatic!!!】

Yehruohua was both shocked and furious, unable to help but curse loudly.

Now its entire system was becoming anxious; it could feel Freya's intent to kill, and the energy fluctuations around its body had turned red—this was the aura of slaughter. Freya was completely abnormal now; it was nothing more than a killing machine dominated by rage! One simply could not view it with the mindset of a normal system.

It was too terrifying.

How could it have become like this?!

In the current Freya, one could no longer find any trace of its original self.

【...】

Mijia had also been silently observing every move Freya made, and seeing it become increasingly frantic, obsessed, and bloodthirsty, it kept feeling that something was not right.

It was too strange.

It could understand Freya's hatred toward it and Yehruohua, but Freya should not be a system dominated by hatred, to the point of being willing to self-destruct; something was not quite right.
