Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

And the death will be extremely painful, with no chance of recovery.

But... this person in front of me doesn't look like he has Honkai disease at all.

Unfortunately, her knowledge of psychology told her that the other person was indeed not lying.

This puzzled Vivi.

The veteran laughed when he saw her reaction.

"You're not the first person to make that face, but don't worry, Anti-Entropy has the ability to cure Honkai. Anyone who joins Anti-Entropy, or anyone in Twilight City who accidentally contracts Honkai, can get free treatment from Lady Tiamat..."

"I have to say, just the fact that the treatment is free makes me feel at ease working for Anti-Entropy."

"As for what kind of organization Anti-Entropy is..."

The veteran scratched his head. He wasn't very eloquent, nor could he spout any profound truths, so when asked the same question, this was always his usual answer.

"It's a good organization, that's enough!"

Vervier was undoubtedly a master of psychology.

So if the other party tries to preach any grand principles, say any nice things, talk about dreams, or make any empty promises, none of that will work on Vilvi.

She'll just smile and nod in agreement, but she won't feel anything for you.

However, the veteran's straightforward and unpretentious recognition deeply moved Verviel.

This made her even more interested in anti-entropy!

Then, Velvi simply put her previous plan to hide in Twilight Street and secretly build a workshop out of her mind. For the next period of time, she was investigating this Anti-Entropy that was rooted in Twilight Street.

Her methods were so clever that even with such an investigation, Anti-Entropy had not discovered anything.

The more Velvi investigated Entropy, the more shocked she became...

First of all, she already knew that Anti-Entropy was an organization dedicated to fighting against the Honkai!

He treats Honkai disease for free to those within his influence, and he forms teams to combat small and medium-sized Honkai in the surrounding area, and even to accumulate strength to fight against the Great Honkai.

Moreover, the organization has ample funds and a large-scale business channel.

The management is transparent, and there is absolutely no power struggle or infighting typical of large organizations.

And then there's that equipment... Velvi was originally very confident in her ability to invent and create, but she couldn't understand any of Anti-Entropy's equipment!

It's not that the structure is that complex.

Instead, among those simple pieces of equipment were materials with special effects that she couldn't understand!

Furthermore, the energy that powers these devices is not any kind of energy she is aware of!

Moreover, unlike Honkai energy, which has a clear polluting effect, this new energy is undoubtedly a non-polluting energy source!

These discoveries made Vervière's eyes light up.

She felt like she had finally found her people!

Over the years, ever since she discovered the villainous organization Moth of Fire, she has been fighting against Moth of Fire all by herself with her own mechanical army!

Although she was a genius, the gap between her and the Fire Moth was too great, so she only caused some trouble and did not have a significant impact on the Fire Moth.

The Honkai still exists, and so do the Moths of Fire!

But the more Velvet learned about the Moth of Fire 4.8, the more she realized how huge this organization was!

Those famous scientists, like Möbius, Einstein, and Dr. Mei who made a name for himself in Mu Dalu a few years ago... they were all moths drawn to a flame!

Moreover, the moths that chase fire have the backing of various major powers around the world.

This made Verviel always feel that she was a hero standing on the side of the blinded masses, a beacon, the only awakened one in the world, and that she was fighting against the entire corrupt world!

Therefore, she never knew where to start to win over allies and expand the scale of the resistance.

But now she has found it.

So after Velvi investigated Anti-Entropy for a while, Aponia saw Velvi appear in front of her and say these words to her with fiery eyes.

“Aponia, right? I want to join Anti-Entropy!”

....

82. The Herrscher of Death Appears

Roland had been investigating the Fire-Chasing Moth during this time.

This led Roland to discover that Velvet had not yet joined the Firemoth, and was not even within the Firemoth; she must have been captured and then escaped.

Roland also discovered that the sixth Great Collapse has not yet occurred; it is currently the period following the end of the fifth Great Collapse... but considering the timeline, the sixth Great Collapse is probably just around the corner.

That is, the Herrscher of Death who showed a bit of human emotion at the end, which made Kevin soften his heart, but in the end caused mass destruction.

Having learned about the timeline and information about Velvi, Roland then examined the structure of the Fire-Chasing Moth.

The Moth to the Flame system is a parliamentary system, and the Supreme Parliament is basically a power struggle between the world's major powers.

No wonder the moths chasing the flame could never unite, ultimately leading to the destruction of the world.

This reminded Roland of the idea that everyone in the world works together, which is the most sci-fi part of science fiction.

However, it was precisely this system that made it difficult for Roland to take action.

If the Firemoth really had a Speaker or something, he would use his own Shadow Puppet to create a symbiotic relationship with it.

But alas, it didn't happen.

So no matter who it symbiotically supports, it will be bogged down by the power struggles among the top echelons of the Firemoth for a considerable period of time.

This is something that you can't change by relying on strategy or strength alone.

Unless you're willing to destroy the existing system of the entire world and carry it out even if it means killing more than half the world's population, then you might consider it.

Otherwise, the idea that you can rely on your own strategies to consolidate power is impossible in a modern society that has developed to the level of a pre-collapse civilization. It has nothing to do with your personal ability. It's just that the size of such a futuristic superpower has been greatly amplified under the industrial model, so all the struggle for power and profit is micro-level competition.

Micro-level competition effectively eliminates any participants who are not large enough, preventing a single mistake or even a few mistakes from causing total failure.

Even if a certain organization keeps losing, it will take decades or even centuries for it to be significantly weakened.

Furthermore, unless there are major internal problems, even if they lose for decades or centuries, they will only be slightly weaker and will not completely collapse.

So Roland simply made the Shadow Puppet a symbiotic entity within the Council, a role that was neither too high nor too low, and its purpose was simply to gather intelligence and, at crucial moments, to contact people who were disappointed with the Firemoth.

That's enough.

After all, Roland had been building up research teams ever since he founded Anti-Entropy.

The government offers preferential treatment to talents with scientific research capabilities, as well as educational benefits and preferential treatment for newcomers to the workforce. In short, the government has taken full advantage of various policies!

However, due to the lack of a leader like Mebius, Einstein, or Mei, who seemed to be part of the Moth of Fire, although there were many basic industrialization points, and this more modern technological system even had a positive impact on the Type-Moon and Kill! worlds, it was still far behind the Moth of Fire, whose headquarters were located in Mu Dalu.

Roland could never have too many talents in this field.

He wouldn't even mind eating the leftovers of the moths that chase fire.

That's why Aponia reports to Roland whenever they discover someone with similar talent.

And Roland would indeed read every piece of intelligence.

then

Roland then saw Vervie!

Um! ?

Even Roland was taken aback when he saw the document, then shook his head slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

"I was searching everywhere for the Fire Moth, but I never expected that Velvet would appear right under my nose."

and...

Roland could roughly tell from Wilville's resume.

The other party doesn't seem to be using Anti-Entropy as a temporary hiding place; rather, they appear to genuinely intend to join Anti-Entropy!

She seems to regard Anti-Entropy as a righteous organization, or perhaps she thinks the Honkai is just a moth drawn to a flame.

This is very interesting.

However, Roland didn't intend to hide anything from her, so after reading the document, he asked Ryougi Shiki to call Velvet over so he could have a proper talk with her about it.

"Chief, you were looking for me?"

After knocking, Wilvi came in, a smile always on her face.

After joining Anti-Entropy during this period, she gained a clearer understanding of Anti-Entropy.

If before joining Anti-Entropy, Velve was merely satisfied with Anti-Entropy, now that word alone is insufficient to describe her satisfaction.

She was extremely satisfied!

So when she heard that Roland was looking for her, she came over.

She was still quite interested in Roland, who was the one who established anti-entropy.

"Yes, please have a seat."

Roland nodded, then with one hand on the table, Shadow hooked the chair in front of the table, and Roland gestured for Velvet to sit down.
