Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 144

If Alicia goes to Anti-Entropy... is it possible to actually keep this Herrscher of Humanity here?

Thinking of this, Roland then thought of Hilchi, whom Tiamat had mentioned earlier.

The Seele that day gave off the same feeling as those Herrschers who possessed the Flower of Humanity in the new civilization 50,000 years from now.

Alicia only made up her mind about her future after witnessing the Herrscher of Death deceive Kevin and cause heavy casualties during her battle against the Herrscher of Death.

If she were to see a Herrscher who, like her, also stood on the side of humanity...

She'll definitely be attracted to it!

....

89. Alicia: Tell the Firemoth that I'm not going back!

"Oops, we've been found out!"

Roland looked at Alicia, who was sitting in front of him with a smile, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He knew that Alicia was coming to Anti-Entropy to investigate.

but

"There's no way around it. After all, Miss Alicia is quite famous as the hero who led the Fire Moths against the Second Great Collapse. So, for you to go directly to the Anti-Entropy registration office and fill out the form without any disguise or even changing your name is really underestimating your own reputation."

Hearing Roland say that, Alicia smiled even more happily.

"There's nothing we can do. A girl as beautiful as a falling flower can't be hidden no matter what we do."

"Even so, I still managed to get to you, so I'll say I'm halfway there."

Upon hearing her words, Roland leaned back in his chair and used the Divine Communication System to contact Tiamat, asking her to bring Seele, the reborn Herrscher of Death, over. At the same time, he casually inquired about Alicia in front of him.

"So, is there something you need from me?"

"The fire-chasing moths have their eyes on you."

Alicia pretended to be serious and then lowered her voice to speak, but when she saw Roland's blank expression, the expression Alicia had managed to maintain crumbled.

"It's said that boys, no matter how old, will have a mischievous streak in front of cute girls, but pranks are no good!"

Seeing Alicia's guilty look, Roland laughed.

"Indeed, perhaps I should play along a little—but if I deliberately played along, that kind of reaction wouldn't be what you wanted, would it?"

Roland shrugged.

"I already knew about the Moths of Fire targeting us back when Anti-Entropy was established in 640, but so what?"

"After all, there are things that someone has to do. The Firemoth has become too complacent. With no competitors, I've noticed that the Firemoth has started to look down on the Honkai. Perhaps this is because the previous Honkai attacks were dealt with too easily."

"Under such circumstances, perhaps a major collapse could awaken the Moth of Fire, but every victory of the collapse inevitably means an extremely bloody ending. Currently, the industrial and technological power of this world is too concentrated on the Mu Continent. Under such circumstances, if this major collapse that could awaken the Moth of Fire were to break out on the Mu Continent, then humanity might still have the power to fight back, but the power of the fight back would be greatly reduced."

"Then we can only use a roundabout method to wake up the Moth of Fire."

"So you're wrong about one thing, Miss Alicia..."

At this point, Roland crossed his hands, rested his chin on them, and then looked at Alicia with an expression that was hard to describe as calm or something else.

"It's not that the fire-chasing moths have their eyes on us, but rather that we have our eyes on the fire-chasing moths."

Hearing Roland say this, even Alicia took it a little more seriously and sighed softly.

"Yes, the Firemoth is indeed different from before. The existence of an organization like Anti-Entropy might really be a good thing—so would you mind if I, a member of the Firemoth, wandered around Anti-Entropy?"

“If it were someone else, I might mind, but if it’s you, please feel free to do as you please—and I happen to be meeting a new member later, so I can have someone take you all to see the Anti-Entropy base.”

Upon hearing Roland's words, Alicia smiled again.

Ultimately, that was her original purpose.

Whether the infiltration was discovered or not, the ultimate impact was not good.

But if you look at it like this, then there's no problem.

As for whether this will reveal the true nature of anti-entropy—Alicia can only say that she had already seen most of the true nature of anti-entropy when she was captured.

Roland's stop here is just the last one.

Without a doubt, Anti-Entropy is indeed an organization that fights against Honkai.

Moreover, perhaps because Anti-Entropy is Roland's one-man show, the organization Anti-Entropy is much more pure than the Firemoth.

Alicia never disliked anything real or pure.

Therefore, she doesn't dislike entropy reversal.

Right now, she was already thinking about how to write a report to the Council of the Firemoth after she returned.

Thinking of this, Alicia blinked, and then her smile blossomed like a flower, becoming even brighter.

Or... how about I have Möbius write it for me?

When Alicia thought about how Mebius had approached her and Mei with that recording and said with a serious face that the Fire Moth needed to change, she felt that this matter could perhaps really be pushed onto her.

After all, they became good friends after that conversation.

Good friends need to communicate more!

As Alicia pondered these thoughts, there was a knock on Roland's office door.

With Roland's invitation to enter, Tiamat led the somewhat timid Seele inside.

Upon seeing the two of them, even Alicia, who had been smiling and composed the whole time, showed surprise on her face.

She looked at Seele, who was hiding a little behind Tiamat, as if she had seen a treasure, as if she had seen hope.

Others might not be able to determine Seele's state immediately, but because this was the scene Alicia had been hoping to see, she was certain in an instant.

She is a Herrscher with human emotions who will fight for humanity!

Just like myself.

Möbius got extremely drunk in his empty laboratory and even started acting out.

Blanca, who was acting as an assistant, saw all this and sighed helplessly.

But she also had to admit that she understood Dr. Möbius.

Although the Fusion Warrior program had a high mortality rate, it was ultimately very effective and came closest to what Dr. Mebius had been saying: to allow humanity to evolve.

Theoretically and experimentally, it has been successful. The next step is simply to conduct experiments on death row inmates; then the mortality rate and other related factors should gradually decrease...

But all of this was rejected outright. When Dr. Mebius first mentioned the plan, it was rejected by the Moth Council because the Honkai was not that difficult to deal with and humanity had not been forced to that point.

This then cut off the supply of funding and resources to the Möbius Institute.

If there were a different reason, Dr. Möbius probably wouldn't have done it this way.

But the reason is precisely this...

Although Blanca also disagreed with Dr. Mebius's views on such experiments, if humanity truly reaches a point where it cannot overcome its difficulties without the Fusion Warrior program, the number of people who would die as a result would definitely be far greater than the number of deaths and injuries in Dr. Mebius's experiments.

Perhaps Dr. Möbius was so distressed because he knew this.

Thinking of this, Blanca sighed, then saw that Mebius was lying on the table and seemed to be asleep, so she put her on the sofa and covered her with a coat.

Knowing that Dr. Möbius basically lived in the laboratory, she made some preparations and left quietly.

However, what she didn't expect was that shortly after she left, the laboratory lights were turned on again.

The senator who was symbiotic with Roland had already appeared in Mebius's laboratory, and, ignoring Mebius lying on the sofa, openly flipped through the experimental data related to the Fusion Warrior project.

"Blanca..."

Mebius seemed to have been awakened by the noise. She slowly got up, covered her head with one hand, and then immediately saw Roland's figure.

"you...!"

In that instant, Mebius sobered up, and even the effects of the alcohol wore off. Roland didn't try to hide anything; he simply used a special spell to make a copy of the information he needed before turning around and smiling at Mebius.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. In fact, I think if you ever feel you can't stay with the Firemoth anymore, you can come to us anytime. We would be very happy to have you here."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Möbius slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Anti-entropy?"

She said this first, and then she looked at the positions of the documents on the table.

"Information on the Fusion Warriors... Heh, it seems you're planning to launch this plan sooner than the Firemoth."

Roland shrugged.

"There's nothing we can do about it. And with the same plan, if you have the resources of the Fire Moth, you'll have an extremely high mortality rate. But we have a way to reduce the mortality rate to zero, and even if the fusion fails, we can go back to the beginning."

Roland didn't expect to be able to take Mebius away right now.

So he stood up with the documents in his hand.

"Compared to the moth chasing the flame, our anti-entropy is a more suitable stage for you to shine... If you come, we will definitely welcome you."

He left behind this sentence, and then Quan Neng's amusement park was activated all by himself.

Roland simply vanished right before Möbius's eyes!

Roland had used up almost all of this councilor's resources, and planned to take the things back and find another councilor to coexist with.
