Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"This situation has increased the pressure on me a lot, and it has also made the situation of the Fire Moth deteriorate even more rapidly."

At this point, Mei pressed her temples.

"And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always have a very bad feeling."

Upon hearing Mei say that, Cecilia pondered for a moment and then sighed.

"I can't understand it. After all, normally, with a competitor like Anti-Entropy, shouldn't the Moth Chaser be a little better off... How did things turn out like this?"

“You don’t understand, Cecilia.”

Mei gave a soft hum.

"The original members of the Firemoth were indeed driven by the idea of ​​fighting against the Honkai, but some died in battle, and others died of old age. It seems that Alicia and Mebius left... In fact, there are no longer any members of the original Firemoth group in the current Firemoth."

"The current top leaders of the Firemoth are all representatives of various major powers and forces."

"So as long as the Honkai doesn't affect their interests, they don't care about the Honkai at all. The same goes for the Fire Moth and Anti-Entropy. To them, the Fire Moth is just a tool for making profits."

"Even if Anti-Entropy really attacks, so what?"

"After a proper resistance, these high-ranking officials representing various forces will all withdraw and abandon the Fire Moth. If Anti-Entropy wants to develop to the scale that Fire Moth has now, it will also have to cooperate with those major powers and forces. At that time, these guys will take the opportunity to parachute into Anti-Entropy."

"In that case, how can they really be concerned about the matter of entropy reduction?"

"The moth that chases the flame is a work unit, and so is the reverse entropy... That's just how it is for them."

Upon hearing Mei's explanation, Cecilia frowned even more deeply.

After a long while, she let out a long breath.

"Mei, how about we go to reverse entropy too?"

"We? The Fire Moth has been keeping a close eye on us lately. Even though they're fighting for power, the forces behind them don't intend to let us scientists leave. They want us to live in the Fire Moth's headquarters forever. So after Mebius left, I don't think it will be easy for me to leave."

Mei shook her head irrationally, but Cecilia walked over and looked her in the eye very seriously.

"None of that matters, Mei. If these problems aren't an issue, would you like to come with me to Anti-Entropy?"

Mei had many reasons in her mind not to leave, and many reasons to persuade Cecilia, but after seeing the look in Cecilia's eyes, she suppressed all of those reasons.

"Have you decided?"

"Well, at least I don't want to stay with the Firemoth anymore."

Upon hearing Cecilia's words, Mei nodded and stood up.

"If that's the case, then let's leave."

Mei is rational most of the time, but she is also very emotional.

Cecilia was someone she found before the Third Great Collapse occurred in Changkong City, and she has been protecting her friend ever since.

So once Cecilia makes her decision, Mei will respect her opinion.

Cecilia then took out the Divine Key, the Black Abyss White Flower.

She took Mei with her and left the Moth of Fire with all her might.

then.

Cecilia and Mei are heading towards Anti-Entropy!

....

115. Roland: Cecilia!?

After arriving at Twilight Street, Su has been learning about its situation.

It's no secret that the location for treating Honkai disease is around Twilight Street. In Roland's words, "We haven't done anything shameful, we've only done good things, so what's there to be afraid of others knowing?"

So on his first day in Twilight Street, Su witnessed the scene of anti-entropy treating Honkai disease.

Su considered himself to have some medical knowledge, but he had to admit that he didn't understand at all how anti-entropy treated Honkai disease!

on

It seems like they just shine a small flashlight on the patient, and then the patient is cured?

Compared to medical skills, Su felt this might be more like magical arts!

However, Su didn't care too much about this matter. After all, the patient was cured in the end. As long as the result was good, that was enough. Su was also very happy to see that the patient was no longer suffering from Honkai disease.

But there's still a question here: was the patient really cured?

Su was still very confused about that treatment method, which seemed like some kind of magical art.

However, Su is not the kind of person who would cause trouble and damage someone's reputation based on her own assumptions, and then think that she is doing the right thing.

So during this time, he has been checking on and following up with the cured patients, using legitimate reasons that have nothing to do with entropy reversal. He even spent all the money he had saved to buy a basement nearby and convert it into a small clinic to do this.

Perhaps good deeds are rewarded.

After a thorough examination, Sue found that the patients had indeed been cured. Just as he was feeling happy about this, another incident involving Eden occurred, causing the price of the basement he bought to increase several dozen times!

Furthermore, houses around Huanghun Street are being snapped up in large quantities, indicating a supply shortage.

Now, all Su needs to do is patiently wait for the housing prices to rise to a critical point, and then sell his basement apartment. Even if Su doesn't look for a new job, this money will be enough for him to live a comfortable life.

But Sue didn't do that.

He spent his last bit of money to slightly renovate the basement, turning it into a habitable place. Sue then lived there and submitted her resume to Anti-Entropy.

At this point, Eden's influence had only recently expanded, and housing prices hadn't yet reached their peak, so naturally, Anti-Entropy's restrictions on recruiting members weren't very strict.

In addition, Su was close by and was among the last batch of resumes submitted.

His professional experience, alma mater, and personal abilities were all excellent, so he passed the review and joined Reverse Entropy.

"Goodness, if I remember correctly, Anti-Entropy's recruitment standards have now reached a level that can even be considered harsh, right?"

After reading Sue's briefing, Roland then asked Aponia for her opinion.

Aponia nodded slightly.

"Indeed it is."

She agreed, and then Padofelis, who was sitting next to her, added a comment.

“Boss Roland, there’s nothing we can do about it. We don’t need that many people anyway. Plus, our Anti-Entropy benefits are absolutely top-notch. And while those reviews are a headache for us, it’s precisely because they’re complicated that they don’t exclude people who are capable but lack the qualifications or work experience. I don’t think Sister Nia’s requirements are excessive.”

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Roland nodded, trusting and acknowledging Aponia's attitude and abilities in this regard.

"By the way, Boss Roland, why haven't I seen Sister Tia lately?"

Paddo was a little puzzled when she didn't see Tiamat this time she came back, while Roland just smiled and shook his head at her.

"She has her own things to do, so she'll probably be very busy for quite some time. But if you go to the Sea of ​​Life to find her, she'll be very happy."

"Hehe, then I'll bring some of Tia's favorite snacks when I visit her later."

Pado scratched her head and laughed.

She thought Tiamat was very gentle, so she, who had grown up with cats, felt especially close to Tiamat.

Actually, it's not just her; Mebius also softens a bit when facing Tiamat.

Alicia would also visit Tiamat from time to time... but unlike Paddo and Mebius, Roland felt that Alicia might have discovered something.

But he never intended to hide his plans from Alicia; he just wouldn't tell her. So if she found out, so be it. He didn't care.

"What are your plans for Su?"

Seeing that Roland was very interested in the intelligence about Su, Aponia asked a question, and Roland nodded and handed Aponia a list.

"You take a look at this first."

After Aponia took it, Paddo joined in, and then they both saw the name written on it.

Alicia, Aponia, Eden, Velvet, Qianjie, Su, Sakura, Mebius, Hua, Padofelis.

After Aponia and Padofelis finished reading, Roland slowly began to speak.

"In addition to dealing with the small and medium-sized Honkai that we usually have to deal with, the core difficulty in fighting Honkai is the Great Honkai, which is like a regular exam for humanity and can easily cause huge impacts. So far, there have been seven Great Honkai, and each time a Herrscher has been born, and the Herrscher has become stronger and stronger."

"Therefore, if we are to fight around the Herrscher, our main combat force in the future must be small elite units, rather than sending a large number of people to fight piecemeal tactics."

"Previously, it was just that Anti-Entropy had just been established and there was a real shortage of manpower, so we sent you elites to lead the teams. Now I think the middle-level personnel have been trained to a certain extent, so I plan to put these people on the list into a team, which is also an elite force specifically designed to deal with various difficult problems and Herrschers."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Aponia nodded. Having been on the battlefield herself many times, she knew very well that Roland's idea was correct.

The Anti-Entropy forces are now composed of fusion warriors, equipped with superior gear and magic, making ordinary Honkai attacks a routine task for them.

What is truly unknown is the Herrscher, who is growing stronger and stronger, and whose end is unknown.

There is a lot of merit to developing elite troops.

but...

"Boss Roland, how come we're in this elite unit?!"

While Aponia was still pondering, Pado called out.

When Roland saw her like this, he smiled and looked over.
