Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 153

The stars in the sky are far away, but the lake beside me reflects their images, bringing this incredibly distant distance closer.

Then this long-awaited journey felt like traveling above the stars and moon, as if all the beautiful things had gathered here at that moment.

Until I saw the target I had been looking forward to, the starlight, the moonlight, the radiance of the thing I had been waiting for, the three coexisting and perfectly combined, it was as if the whole world was illuminated.

When Roland's performance ended, Eden was still immersed in that radiance, and it was only after a long time that she slowly opened her eyes.

"What a beautiful melody, what a harmonious rhythm... Roland, although I have always wanted to be the most dazzling one in the crowd, I have to admit that at this moment your brilliance has surpassed mine."

Eden said this, but a gentle smile remained on her face, and her eyes were full of admiration for Roland.

"I used to say that you might surpass me in the future, but now it seems that I don't have much confidence in beating you anymore. You are really amazing."

As Eden assessed the situation, the others around him gradually awoke from their dreams.

Each of them watched an incredibly moving performance in their own dreams, and many even shed tears.

Most of them were just trying to get involved with Eden, so they were guys who only had a superficial understanding of music, and some of them didn't know anything about music at all. They had never believed that music was the most popular and powerful language, but now they did.

Before Roland's performance, they held him up as high as possible, waiting for him to fall.

But now they find that Roland has secured his position, and he may even climb higher!

After they looked up and couldn't see Roland, most of their previous malice dissipated.

Each of them looked at Roland with complicated expressions, except for the little girl sitting next to Eden who winked at Roland with a happy smile on her face.

At this moment, Eden stood up, walked onto the stage, and went to Roland's side.

“Roland, I originally only planned to sing your songs at my upcoming concert in Australia, but after seeing this performance, my thoughts have changed.”

At this point, Eden looked at Roland in front of him and, under everyone's gaze, extended his hand to Roland.

"Your music truly shines when you play it yourself... So, for the Australia concert, could you perform on stage with me?"

Upon hearing Eden's words, the remaining audience members, who were offstage and out of the spotlight, once again displayed complex emotions.

They all envied Roland.

After all, that's Eden!

The most popular person in the world, the most dazzling person, and also beautiful, and Eden is very rich.

Eden is probably a little richer than the combined families of all the guys here.

After all, Eden has so many fans that if two major powers go to war, Eden can hold a large concert nearby and directly cause the two countries to temporarily cease hostilities, waiting to hear the concert before deciding whether to resume the war.

There has never been a star like this before.

This is Eden.

But while they were envious, they looked at Roland and Eden under the spotlight, and they all knew that this was entirely due to Roland's personal abilities.

Otherwise, if someone were to go on stage now, replacing Roland, then let alone playing with Eden, just standing together would be completely overshadowed by Eden's brilliance.

That's why Eden has basically been a solo artist since his debut.

And now, she has finally found a partner to sing with.

This prompted Eden to extend an invitation.

When Roland heard about the Australian concert, he calculated the time.

This Australian concert must be the time of the seventh Great Collapse. In the original plot, flames will burn the entire theater, making Eden feel that the art of this era has been burned to death by fire.

He came to Eden's side so that he could pull Eden into the anti-entropy movement at that time.

Then he certainly had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

As Roland said this, he also reached out and shook hands with Eden.

This scene was captured on camera and became a photo used to promote the Australian concert.

After seeing this photo, Eden's fans weren't overreacting; in fact, they were a little curious about who could possibly share the stage with Eden, who shone like the sun on stage.

They couldn't imagine it, but seeing that it was Eden who took the initiative to extend the invitation, they, who trusted Eden, expressed their anticipation.

News of Eden's Australian concert spread and sparked a phenomenal buzz worldwide.

The whole world is filled with the atmosphere of anticipation for this concert.

Meanwhile, anti-entropy and moths chasing flames are also taking action.

Roland spent his days preparing for the concert in Eden, and his evenings returning to Anti-Entropy to prepare for the battle.

After all, Eden's Australian concert is coming, and so is the seventh Great Collapse.

....

100. Are supplies stuck in Twilight Street?

Entropy is being reversed, and so are the moths drawn to the flame.

After the Firemoth's previous attack on Anti-Entropy and its complete defeat, the Firemoth and Anti-Entropy seemed to have emerged as rivals among those in the know.

Same now.

While Anti-Entropy is preparing to fight the Seventh Honkai Impact, the Flame Chaser... is creating the Seventh Herrscher!

It's not that they're conducting any experiments on artificial Herrschers or anything like that.

But

"Himiko, just stay in Australia and stop asking about your teammates. So many places around the world are experiencing Honkai outbreaks, people die every day. What, other people's comrades can die, but yours can't?"

"Hey, didn't I tell you? They're all dead. Asking them again and again, do you think you can bring them back to life?"

"Okay, I'm hanging up now. Don't bother me anymore. You're just the person in charge in Australia right now, and we don't have a direct working relationship. Don't disturb my work. Goodbye!"

Beep, beep, beep...

As Himiko listened to the busy tone of the phone, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on it. The poor phone groaned under Himiko's force, gradually deforming before being completely crushed!

The Fire Moth did not implement the Fusion Warrior program. Although Himiko is an excellent warrior, and was even the captain of the action unit before and is now the head of the operations department of the Australian branch, she is still flesh and blood after all.

As the phone was crushed, her right hand was also pierced, and blood flowed out.

The wound pressed against the sharp wreckage, but Himiko felt no pain at all.

Compared to pain in other places, the pain in the palm is nothing.

"They're all dead...they're all dead..."

Himiko gritted her teeth, her mind filled with memories of her old comrades when she was a captain in a combat unit, and her mental defenses crumbled instantly!

She leaned against the wall, then slid helplessly to the ground, crying silently by herself.

She was alone in the room.

Himiko has no family, all her comrades are dead, and the new recruits she brought to Australia keep dying. Today, she learned that all the new recruits she had brought before had died, and then another batch of new recruits arrived. So she felt uncomfortable and wanted to talk to her old comrades, which is why she called other people.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't just the new recruits she trained who died; her old comrades also perished while she was working in Australia after they parted ways.

So she was already all alone.

Even when she's in pain and wants to talk to someone, she can't find anyone to talk to. When she encounters difficulties and wants to ask for help, it's impossible... So, when she doesn't have work problems, no one comes to her.

But in this quiet place, amidst the hazy darkness, it seemed as if some inhuman voice gradually rose from the indistinct to the clear.

During the time he was handling the Australian concert, Roland truly witnessed the capabilities of Eden's young manager.

All matters need to be transferred to her, and she can quickly arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Furthermore, she has a wide network of connections, and problems are usually resolved with just a few phone calls. Although there is still some time before the scheduled time for the Australian concert, Roland, seeing how busy the little girl is, even has the illusion that the concert will start tomorrow.

However, Roland did have an assistant position at Eden, so after his initial surprise, he began to help the little girl with some things.

If these tasks were given to a typical new assistant, they would probably overwhelm them.

However, Roland was able to quickly get the hang of these tasks and find the most efficient ways to handle problems, then address and arrange solutions accordingly.

Once Roland got used to it, it wasn't too difficult.

However, with the accumulation of these seemingly minor tasks, Roland finally realized just how terrifying the workload of Bai Mao truly was.

This is where a concert is arranged.

The Hundred Faces side has to deal with matters concerning the world of Kill! and the world of Type-Moon.

In the world of Kill!, although the new official system has relieved some of the pressure on Hyakko, the emperor is a position Hyakko is posing as, so the workload must be considerable.

In the Type-Moon world, the original body of the Far East Magic Association's council did indeed have some talented individuals.

For example, Luvia, Aika, and Tono Akiha, who originally belonged to Kuon no Tori, Asagami Fujino... Emerald probably wouldn't work, but Amber should have been involved in helping out.

Ilya and Sakura will probably also go and learn about related matters.

But apart from that... Aoko goes without saying, Touko is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything else when she's researching magic, Rin is always researching the Second Magic, Medea is always dealing with various magic research, and even if Ayumi comes to her for no reason, she's not the kind of person who will take the initiative... The pressure that the high-level council of these guys puts on Hyakko is unimaginable.

Even if the Dead Apostles have Altruic and the Mage's Association has El-Melloi II doing something under the table, the pressure must still be immense.

"Although Bai Mao can be in two places at once, things really can't all be piled on one person. Once I'm free, I'll lighten her load; she's really exhausted."

While serving as Eden's assistant, Roland was thinking about such things.
