Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 139

He's ready to wait now.

Once Mebius has made some progress, I'll use the Shadow Puppet over there to gather some intelligence before handing it over to Tiamat.

While the Moth Chaser was still arguing, the Anti-Entropy forces had already reached the location of the Herrscher of Death.

The Anti-Entropy forces landed first; their objective was to rescue the surviving civilians and deal with the undead and Honkai Beasts.

Qianjie jumped off the plane after seeing the Herrscher of Death, using the jet propulsion of the Orichalcos equipment to land slowly in front of the Herrscher of Death and walk towards her.

The Herrscher of Death sat high above. It noticed Thousand Calamities descending, but it paid no attention to it, only displaying a manic yet eerie smile on its face.

"Are you here to kill me?"

After saying these words, it transformed into a red butterfly. When it reappeared, it was behind Qianjie and held a scythe made of Honkai energy high in the air.

"Then go to die!"

The Herrschers of the previous civilization did not possess the Human Flower given by Alicia, so apart from Alicia, although becoming a Herrscher does not mean losing emotions, there is no possibility of them being brought back.

Once someone becomes a Herrscher, they are a pure enemy.

If you think about it this way, the problem is actually quite simple.

Just like now.

boom!

The Herrscher of Death launched the attack first, but it is also the one that has been knocked away.

It didn't stop until it hit the wall and even smashed it to pieces.

After crawling out of the ruins, it looked at Qianjie, who was still in a punching stance, and its madness became even more obvious.

"Impossible, this is impossible—I am the messenger of God, I am the strongest!"

Seeing the Herrscher of Death rushing forward again, Qianjie smiled.

He never liked to think about overly complicated problems.

so...

—If a punch can solve the problem, then this is his favorite and most proficient area!

"Come on, Herrscher, let's fight!"

Even though the other party is the Herrscher, Qianjie is even more insane than the other party.

With the blessing of reverse entropy, the Thousand Tribulations of today are no longer what they used to be.

He could kill the Fifth Herrscher in a short time with his bare hands, and the Sixth Herrscher wasn't much stronger than the Fifth Herrscher, so he was quickly torn apart by Qian Jie.

Then he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Kevin fell victim to this move.

When Kevin saw the Herrscher of Death begging for mercy, he softened. Then, the Herrscher of Death seized the opportunity to unleash her power, killing all of Kevin's comrades and all the survivors in the city.

It caused extremely heavy casualties.

But Qianjie will not be soft-hearted.

The fact that the other party begged for mercy only made him angrier.

Therefore, the Herrscher of Death's little scheme failed. Its head was smashed by a single punch from Thousand Calamity, and its Herrscher core was extracted and placed in a special container.

Thus, the Sixth Great Collapse came to a simple end.

After capturing the Honkai Beasts and killing the uncaptured ones, the Anti-Entropy members even cleaned up the battlefield before leaving.

After the Moths finished their wrangling and were about to send out their team, they discovered that, just like the Fifth Herrscher, the Sixth Herrscher had also been eliminated by an unknown organization.

Moreover, when the Fifth Herrscher was defeated, the other party left behind the Fifth Herrscher's corpse, allowing them to obtain a Herrscher core for free.

But this time, the other party took everything they could.

And they gained nothing!

....

84. Möbius's sense of crisis

"I said during the last Great Collapse that the death of the Fifth Herrscher must have been orchestrated by some other organization. I told you to investigate, but you didn't. Now look what happened, the Sixth Herrscher has been stolen!"

"Investigate, investigate, investigate! What can you do besides talk? You make me investigate the Honkai, you make me investigate personnel, you make me investigate materials, you make me investigate everything, but you only allocate the least funds to me. How am I supposed to investigate?!"

"Alright, that's enough. These things are in the past. Let's talk about what to do about this."

"Ha, what can we do? We don't even know who did it, what else can we do? Should we start by improving the incompetence of our intelligence department?"

"you!"

Seven hours after the end of the Sixth Great Collapse, the high-level meeting of the Firemoth was in complete chaos.

Most of them were shirking responsibility and stirring up trouble, a few were trying to smooth things over, and there wasn't a single person actually discussing the fact that the core of the Sixth Herrscher had been taken away.

Roland watched all this and shook his head slightly.

He remained silent until the meeting ended, and turned to leave immediately afterward. Aside from intelligence, he had no interest in spending time with these guys.

However, Roland's actions were noticed by others.

"It seems you don't like what they're doing?" Not long after Roland left the meeting room, 627 was stopped by a guy with long green hair, a good build, and a gentle-looking face, but with a strange look in his eyes.

There are very few among these moths that dare to stop a senator while wearing a researcher's uniform.

But this guy in front of me is definitely qualified.

Because she was one of the pioneers of the fire-chasing moth and a world-renowned top scientist—Möbius.

As a senior member, Mebius was qualified to participate in high-level meetings as a researcher. She was present at the meeting just now, so no one would say anything if she stopped a middle-ranking member.

"It's not as simple as just disliking it anymore."

Roland shook his head slightly.

"Although it wasn't announced, I believe that those who were in that meeting should have realized, to some extent, that the intensity of the Honkai is actually subtly increasing."

"Although we didn't handle the Fifth Herrscher or the Sixth Herrscher, judging from the concentration and range of Honkai energy, both of these times followed the same principle... I calculated the Honkai energy concentration of the Sixth Herrscher. If it hadn't been taken down by another organization, would we, the Fire Moth, have been able to deal with it without heavy firepower?"

"Even if we use heavy firepower, can we control the damage?"

"Besides that, what is that mysterious organization planning to do with the Herrscher Core?"

At this point, Roland sighed.

"There are so many issues that need attention, but these truly important things are being ignored, while trivial matters are being brought up instead."

"I'm thinking, maybe one day, the Honkai will really escalate to an extremely dangerous level. After causing significant damage, these people might wake up a little bit... But if we're talking about significant damage, then it's only Mu Dalu. But if Mu Dalu, which is the foundation of the era's industry, has a problem, then even if we wake up by then, with our industrial strength and resource reserves severely damaged, will we really have the qualifications to launch a counterattack again?"

Upon hearing Roland's words, Möbius was taken aback for a moment, then a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he looked at Roland.

She initially stopped Roland simply because this insignificant senator hadn't been involved in those power struggles before, which made Möbius pay more attention to him.

She had originally planned to come and talk to this minor councilor who couldn't get a word in at the high-level council meetings, and then use him to earn some funding and resources for her laboratory.

After all, her recently launched project, called Fusion Warriors, requires too many resources and funds, which is why she made this plan.

But she never expected that this guy would have such thoughts.

This actually made Mebius take things a little more seriously.

So, are you scared?

Although Mebius was somewhat interested in Roland, his words came out in a sarcastic tone.

Ultimately, that's just how Mebius is—stubborn and sarcastic... Roland already knew this, so he wasn't too bothered. He just shook his head first, then nodded.

"The increasing Honkai doesn't actually scare me. After all, I was naive enough to expect the enemy to be weak. I dropped that idea back when I graduated from school."

"But the attitude of these lawmakers toward the enemy makes me extremely anxious and even fearful."

Roland's expression turned sarcastic, and he walked right past Mebius, bypassing her completely.

Since it wasn't his own body, he didn't intend to have much contact with Mebius and the others; he just wanted to give a simple reminder and leave a spark... that would be enough.

"Although I summarized this a long time ago, I have never understood this sentence more clearly than I do now, which is that a bad teammate is always more disgusting than a powerful enemy."

He left with those words, and then Roland departed.

These were his true thoughts, and he said them intentionally.

He noticed that Mebius had recorded the conversation—perhaps this was related to her original purpose, but seeing her reaction after hearing his words, Roland decided to give it a try.

Not all moths that chase fire are insects.

There are still some guys Roland is planning to poach.

These words really spread, and he can no longer be a member of parliament because of his status. At worst, he can just find someone else to coexist with.

So Roland started to look forward to it.

We eagerly await what kind of chain reaction will occur once Mebius retrieves the recording.

Roland left with these thoughts in mind.

Mebius only snapped out of his reverie after Roland had been gone for a while.
