Howard slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar bed curtains and ceiling.
Last night... He wasn't sure if it was last night or earlier or later, but after he let Freya out, he fell asleep leaning against Freya not long after.
Because sleeping only three hours a day for a week was really exhausting. If it weren't for Isa's strength, it wouldn't be impossible for him to die suddenly on the spot.
And it was obvious that someone had sent him back to his original room on this planet after he fell asleep, and that person could only be Freya.
Just as he was thinking this, a strand of black hair floated past Howard's sight.
Howard, who was originally planning to close his eyes and sleep for a while, suddenly widened his eyes. He sat up and turned his head to the side, and then saw Freya sitting beside the bed.
The demon was only wearing a tight silk nightgown at this time. She untied her hair tie, let her long hair hang from one shoulder to the front of her body, and combed it carefully with her own hands.
Freya always appeared in dazzling splendor, even if she occasionally dressed extravagantly... But through countless details, Howard could see how much effort went into those seemingly casual outfits and hairstyles. Combing her own hair? Perhaps that was a rare occurrence for this great demon.
But now Freya, who was sitting beside his bed, had taken off all these decorations. She hid her horns, folded her wings and tail, and behaved so normally that Howard had an illusion in a trance.
It seemed that at this moment, he was not in this fucked up world, but was still living his life as usual in his original world. And the person sitting beside his bed was not a demon, but someone who was close to him.
But Howard did not indulge in this illusion for too long. When his brain reacted, the first thing he did was to reach out and touch his chest.
Then he was surprised.
Because I felt the touch of skin on my hands.
You have no clothes on?
So he moved his hand down again cautiously, and only felt relieved after confirming it again and again.
Fortunately, I was still wearing something underneath.
At this moment, Freya, who was combing her hair, turned slightly sideways. She looked at Howard and said, "Are you scared? Or are you looking forward to it?"
That’s right, although he is dressed in a harmless manner, there is no mistaking his eyes; this is the cruel, powerful and unpredictable demon.
So Howard instantly became alert. He thought there must be something wrong. This devil suddenly did this in front of him. There must be something wrong.
"What do you want to do?" Howard asked.
"As you can see, I'm waiting for you to wake up," Freya said as she fixed her hair. "I'm planning to meet... some little guys. I think you might be interested in them, and they happened to give me a difficult problem recently."
……
After being spit out by the teleportation magic, Howard saw a strange fish swimming slowly past in front of him. It took him about two or three seconds to realize that he was under the water. If Freya had not separated an area for him to breathe, he would have been drowned by now.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound of bubbles surging behind him. Howard looked back and saw a portal made of flesh and blood standing at the bottom of the muddy water. At this time, the flame in the door was slowly extinguishing, but the released temperature still boiled the surrounding water, and the bubbling sound came from this.
At the same time, Howard also saw several monsters lurking around the portal that had obviously suffered from the distortion of the warp. They should be the guards of this portal.
Even a powerful demon like Freya, who wants to completely enter the material universe from the subspace, cannot directly tear the rift between the two worlds without any cost every time.
So Howard couldn't help but recall several similar situations before.
The first time I met Freya was on the Sherlock, which was actually the Warp;
The second time Freya sent him out of the Warp, he still needed to find the weak intersection of the two worlds;
The third time was on Kalimdor, where Freya did descend into the material universe. However, the planet had already been severely corrupted by the Warp long before Freya appeared, so much so that even the Great Demon Nurgle could visit.
The fourth time was when he was nearly eaten by orcs and Freya came to the rescue, but that time Nurgle's reinforcements also showed up;
The fifth time, he was about to shoot himself to force out the Eldar hiding in the dark, and Freya helped him adjust the angle... But that experience was even closer to an illusion, and it was hard to say whether Freya really appeared in her true form;
The sixth time was when the Sister was corrupted. Similarly, the forces of other factions in the Warp appeared first, and then Freya appeared;
The seventh time was when Freya sent him to the Gunther family to collect a debt, but Freya never crossed the barrier between the two worlds during the whole process, and instead asked others to help her pass the message;
Thinking this way, Freya probably can't travel between the warp and the material universe at will. This is just the state a warp creature should have. Even a true Chaos God cannot easily exert his influence on the material universe.
This time, Freya entered the material universe through an existing portal. Perhaps Freya often comes to this place.
Howard was able to observe his surroundings briefly with the help of the portal's light. He should be in a cave at the bottom of a lake or the seabed. In addition to the strange fish at the beginning, he also saw cave walls covered with corals and shellfish. So he asked the demon beside him:
"This is where?"
"A place that will never be discovered by life on this planet." Freya answered simply. After that, she grabbed Howard's hand, and another burst of strong light made Howard temporarily lose his vision.
After an unknown amount of time, the light gradually went out. Before his vision returned, Howard felt that his feet were on solid land.
Howard's eyes gradually became able to see clearly, and then what appeared before him was a city with a "sci-fi" feel.
That’s right, it’s a “science fiction feeling”.
Although according to the setting, the current empire is in the 40th millennium, and Howard's original world has only developed to the 3rd millennium, the current empire is undoubtedly the future compared to Howard's original era, and technology has made great progress.
However, due to various reasons, the style of imperial architecture has instead rushed towards brass punk, sci-fi gothic and sci-fi baroque styles, and it does not look like the futuristic cities in 3K era movies at all.
But what Howard saw at this moment was a very... standard future sci-fi city. The buildings in the city were arranged in an orderly and neat manner, with soft and beautiful lines.
The city's transportation network wasn't like the chaotic jumble of decades-old computer room wiring in an Imperial hive. Instead, it was clearly meticulously planned, ensuring both efficiency and aesthetics. Howard even spotted a considerable expanse of greenery.
These plants are not randomly growing weeds and shrubs, but are deliberately preserved and trimmed to beautify the urban environment.
Based on the above characteristics, Howard has been able to conclude that this is a Titanium city.
