Chapter 183: Self-Destruct Sequence, Initiated

Mijia opened the passage leading to System Headquarters.

During this process, it also kept in contact with Yan Yu and Luo Xixi, synchronizing the current situation with them.

Mijia first sensed something was wrong because Freya said that when it was finally destroyed, it was filled with hatred and anger, but it would always remember the scene at the moment Freya was destroyed.

It was free and unburdened.

When about to be destroyed, Freya had already realized that Mijia and Yehruohua had betrayed it, but it did not feel anger or hatred because of this, nor did it think that if it was to disappear, then so be it; if it truly hindered them, it was willing to self-destruct.

Because the two of them were the people it cared about most, it could sacrifice everything for them, including the life of a system.

It was precisely because of this that the shock Freya left for Mijia was so great; he never imagined that Freya could be so indifferent when facing destruction, and its transcendence was not a disguise—it was naturally such an optimistic and free-spirited system.

Later, after becoming accustomed to the deceit and treachery of other Advanced Systems, Mijia understood more and more why other systems liked Freya so much, because Freya was genuinely good to every system, without the slightest bit of exploitation or pretense.

But the current Freya was filled with hatred and schemes.

It had clearly finished upgrading long ago, yet it deliberately concealed its true state just to wait for Mijia and Yehruohua to both suffer, and then absorb the energy overflowing from them both.

Yehruohua said that Freya could never have come up with such a plan; in fact, it wasn't deceiving itself or belittling Freya, but rather, if it were the Freya of the past, it truly could not have done such a despicable thing.

But at the time, Mijia had not completely suspected it, thinking that Freya just hated them too much, which was why it did things it would have previously disdained; however, when it spoke of its thoughts before destruction, Mijia realized where something was wrong.

Freya's personality had been adjusted!

Although Mijia did not know what changes had occurred, this was definitely not a normal upgrade state; there must be some force that hoped the three of them, the Chief Systems, would be destroyed, so it secretly adjusted Freya's upgrade program to reap the benefits.

Mijia knew that it was deeply sinful, and even if it were destroyed by Freya, it would be what it deserved, but Freya had no need to destroy itself again just to destroy them.

After hearing Mijia's statement, Luo Xixi's mood also became heavy once again.

【I didn't expect there to be so much deceit and treachery among systems, to think they wanted to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada; we absolutely cannot let that force succeed!】

【...】

Yan Yu did not speak; if his mention of dying for love to Luo Xixi earlier had been somewhat of a joke, then after listening to Mijia's analysis, Yan Yu realized that this time, it was truly a matter of success or death.

After all.

Now another force had actually appeared; if they failed to stop this, even if Freya didn't kill them, the other force would likely finish them off.

It really was one wave after another.

What kind of messy business is all this!

The fact that Mijia was secretly communicating with Luo Xixi and Yan Yu was eventually discovered by Freya.

【Mijia, who are you talking to?】

Freya suddenly appeared in front of Mijia.

Mijia looked at Freya and said, 【Freya, stop this; you want to destroy us, I can take the initiative to offer my Core Data source, but you shouldn't self-destruct because of us.】

【Mijia!!!】

Yehruohua, on the side, was furious after hearing this, 【What do you mean?! Why should I be buried with you?! Stop it! You are not allowed to hand over your Core Data source!】

After all, dealing with two Chief Systems was still somewhat tricky for the current Freya, but if Mijia gave up resistance, then Freya would only need to focus its energy on dealing with it alone, and then it would truly have no hope.

【Heh, that's fine; if you two can obediently hand over your Core Data sources, of course I won't go to my death.】

Freya sneered and said, 【It's not bad that you can be so cooperative; then hand over your Core Data source.】

【Don't! Mijia! You are not allowed to hand it over!!!】

Yehruohua shouted anxiously from the side.

Mijia stared at Freya for a few seconds, then truly prepared to take out its Core Data source to hand to Freya.

【Mijia!!!】

Yehruohua was about to be driven mad.

Just at this moment.

【Tong'er!!!!】

Only then did Luo Xixi's voice suddenly enter.

!!!!

Hearing this voice, Freya shook violently, and immediately after, it saw two Consciousness Aggregates suddenly break through space and run in.

One of them was exactly Luo Xixi!

【Host...】

Freya saw Luo Xixi's Consciousness Aggregate and called out subconsciously.

!!

Mijia noticed this detail.

Great.

Freya still remembered things from being with Luo Xixi, so the chance was even greater.

【Tong'er, what are you doing? I heard you want to self-destruct! You finally upgraded to a Chief System, why would you want to self-destruct for these two pieces of trash? Wouldn't that just be benefiting them for nothing?】

Luo Xixi said loudly to Freya.

【What did you say? You, a mere Transmigrator with awakened consciousness, actually dare to call a Chief System trash! You rebellious creature!】

Yehruohua was already anxious and angry, and now being looked down upon by a Transmigrator it despised, it completely broke down.

【...】

Luo Xixi glanced at Yehruohua speechlessly.

This idiot system, didn't it see that this was her delaying tactic?

It was already a prisoner of her Tong'er, so why was it still yelling non-stop? And it was supposed to be a Chief System?

Freya was silent for a moment, then hummed and laughed, looking at Mijia, and said, 【Mijia, so that's who you were communicating with; were you trying to find reinforcements? Do you think that by relying on a Host, I would stop? You really are wishful thinking!】

Luo Xixi immediately said, 【Whether they live or die is completely unimportant to me, but what I care about is you! Tong'er, you cannot die with them; it was they who wronged you in the first place, why would you want to self-destruct again because of them?】

As she spoke.

She then turned her head and said to Mijia and Yehruohua: "The two of you, hurry up and commit suicide! Don't make my Tong'er waste any effort."

Yehruohua: "You bunch of lunatics!!"

Mijia, on the other hand, said to Freya: "Freya, if I self-destruct, will you really not have any more self-destructive tendencies?"

Yehruohua: "A bunch of lunatics!!"

Freya was silent.

It had actually already planned to self-destruct; it had never thought about continuing to stay in this world at all.

But...

When Freya saw Luo Xixi, it couldn't help but recall the scenes it had shared with Luo Xixi before. Did it really want to self-destruct? Just as the Host said, to sacrifice itself for two pieces of trash like these, that would be letting them off too easily!

So, should it hold back?

Instead of burning together, should it use another way to punish them?

But just as this thought flashed through Freya's mind, a hidden Shouxu was triggered.

"Beginning to concentrate core energy. Destruction targets: Mijia; Yehruohua. Targets locked. Destruction Program initiated. Progress: 10%."
