Chapter 399 Leaves
"Do you think you were responsible for everything that happened next?" Freya asked. "If you had remained neutral, that child would have died in the dungeon. Perhaps none of this would have happened, and this family wouldn't have been destroyed."
Obviously, the destruction of this family caused Freya to lose the source of her soul, but Freya did not seem to take this small loss to heart.
"This family's downfall has nothing to do with me," Howard replied. "The wind blew down a worm-eaten tree. I don't think the responsibility should be attributed to the wind itself. Even without the wind, the tree might not have stood."
Freya: "You can see it clearly when you are a bystander, but why can't you understand it when you are involved?"
Howard knew that Freya was trying to enlighten him and persuade him not to blame himself for what happened on Karenya and Nat.
Just like what she said when Howard stopped Freya from taking May's soul, Howard thought too much of himself.
To put it bluntly, he is just a pancake maker. Even with Isa's blessing, he is at best a useful medic. What can he do to influence what happens on these two planets?
Before he was sent to Kalimdor by the Blood Angels, the nobles of the hive had already turned to the Plague Lord and were planning the plagues of the Lower and Middle Hives; he changed the Sisters, but without their past experiences, the Sisters might not have gone to extremes.
If these two planets were hollowed-out trees, Howard would not even be qualified to be the wind. He was just a fallen leaf carried by the wind, and the direction of the wind had already been determined in a place he was unable to reach.
But Howard still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. The collapse of a worm-eaten tree is inevitable, but when and how it will collapse is not necessarily certain.
He participated in it, made so many attempts, he wanted to heal the tree, but the tree still fell. Even in the end, he couldn't tell whether his actions alleviated the tree's pain or accelerated its death.
Therefore, in addition to self-blame, he felt deeply powerless.
So Howard said to Freya again: "If you asked me to help you to tell me this, I am very grateful, but you really don't have to do so much for me..."
"I'm not doing this entirely for you," Freya said. "You're just secondary. Even if you don't participate, it won't affect me at all."
Freya: "I just want to get back my interest. I have blessed this family for thousands of years, but the souls they provide are becoming increasingly boring. They even have delusional thoughts of disobeying me. So I decided to take back everything I have given them."
Then she looked at Howard and said, "All the blood and souls that extended from the first person will be recovered, without missing a single one. However, because of your intervention, the child named Neville was unable to rest in death. Let him live in pain for now. Don't worry, I don't have the time to pay attention to him. I said that the fate of some people will change because of you... I originally planned to recover all the souls."
Howard nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Freya. At least for now, in his opinion, being alive and escaping the devil's gaze was a good thing for Neville.
For the next few minutes, Howard and Freya remained silent as they walked side by side across a vast expanse of white and yellow flowers. However, this peaceful moment didn't last long. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Howard heard a strange sound above him. Puzzled, he looked up and saw a burning piece of debris falling towards him.
However, before the debris hit Howard, Freya spread her wings first, and the debris stopped in mid-air, and was then completely wiped out by Freya with a wave of her hand.
But this was just the beginning. Soon more debris began to fall towards the surface of Flockfanger's planet, dragging burning trails, like a shower of meteors falling to the earth. But just like the first piece of debris, no debris could fall to the ground of Flockfanger. They were all stopped by Freya's psychic power and did not cause any damage.
"What's going on?" Although he was just a few tenths of a second away from death, Howard was not scared. But although he was not scared, he was really surprised.
Because it seems that Flockfanger was attacked, but who would have the guts to attack Freya's garden? Could it be that the tyrant has returned?
But Freya snorted coldly and looked up at the sky indifferently. At this time, in the sky of Flockfanger, it seemed that many stars were flickering abnormally, which was a sign that a battle was taking place outside the atmosphere.
"A bunch of blind slaves and false emperor's warriors. Their war just happened to spread here." Freya narrowed her eyes slightly. "I warned those slaves earlier not to let their war disturb this planet, but their incompetence still disappoints me."
Then Freya firmly put her arm around Howard's waist and said, "Maybe we should teach them a lesson and make them remember this."
Although Freya seemed to be asking for Howard's opinion, she didn't give Howard any chance to speak. Before Howard understood the meaning of her words, she had already spread her wings and took off.
Howard had a similar experience before, but this time Freya put away her teasing thoughts. She used her psychic power to create a shield to protect the mortals around her. In just a blink of an eye, Freya brought Howard to the outside of Flockfanger's atmosphere.
Even though they had already reached outside the atmosphere, Howard still couldn't see the specific situation on the battlefield. With his vision, he could only see the flickering flames of explosions in the distance and the wreckage of spacecraft drifting near him.
With Freya's power, she could have easily moved Flockfanger away, or sealed it away with psychic energy. If Freya did so, these Chaos Space Marines and Space Marines would have absolutely no power to affect the planet.
However, whether it is Chaos Space Marines or Imperial Space Marines, they are all ants in Freya's eyes. It is a very ridiculous thing to ask her to give way to the disputes between ants.
