Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 174

This made the three of them feel somewhat guilty, but also somewhat moved, especially the somewhat immature Kosmo. Although he wasn't good with words, he clenched his fists, his heart filled with turmoil.

"Oops, I messed up..."

Roland scratched his head, sighed, and walked up to Kevin. Looking at Kevin, who seemed somewhat reserved and hesitant, he gave him his contact information.

"Alright, she's gone. We should all go home now and report on the appearance of the Eighth Herrscher. What a hassle..."

Roland seemed a little impatient, which made Kevin swallow back what he was about to say.

"...By the way, here's my contact information. If you get attacked by the Eighth Herrscher again on your way back, remember to contact me. For the sake of us being comrades fighting against the Honkai, I will avenge you even if you die."

He left behind those words and then Roland departed.

Kevin, Hen, and Kosmo watched Roland's departing figure, recalling Desdovia's words and the current situation of the Fire Moth. For a moment, they were all lost in thought.

Roland, who had returned directly to the Anti-Entropy headquarters, saw Ryougi Shiki, who seemed to have been waiting for him all along.

"You actually let that Herrscher leave?"

Although Ryougi Shiki didn't go with Roland, she clearly knew what had just happened, so she asked with some confusion.

Roland hadn't intended to hide it from her anyway, so he simply smiled and shook his head, then looked at Ryougi Shiki with his deep eyes, which seemed to be smiling, and spoke.

"It's not the right time yet. There are some things we might do that would be wrong, but it's fine for a Herrscher to do them—so let's not rush things, let's let things play out for a while~"

....

124. The Eighth Great Collapse erupted at the headquarters of the Firemoth!

"This is the information about the Eighth Herrscher."

After Kevin led his team back to the Moth of Flames, he reported to his superior that Desdovia had become the Eighth Herrscher.

He reported urgently, and even though his superior said to talk about it tomorrow, Kevin didn't actually wait until tomorrow. Instead, after the other party hung up on him, he took the initiative to go to the door, woke the other party up, and then completed the report.

After all, in his view, this matter concerns the Herrscher and is also related to the Great Collapse, so no amount of caution is too much.

but

"Hey! What am I thinking about... It's just a Herrscher. The Herrschers dealt with the three previous Great Honkai events in a row by Anti-Entropy, and they didn't cause any damage. In the end, the Great Honkai is just like an earthquake or a typhoon. You can just treat it as a normal natural disaster."

Kevin woke up the boss, who frowned, his face showing both displeasure and helplessness.

"So just go do whatever you need to do, and don't disturb my sleep."

After saying this, he kicked Kevin out and went to sleep.

Kevin stood at the other person's door, head down, wanting to reach out and push the door open, but remembering the other person's reaction just now, he withdrew his hand.

Just like before, Kevin disliked the atmosphere inside the Firemoth and felt confused about it.

The Fire Moth isn't even paying attention to the Great Honkai anymore...

Thinking about this, Kevin sighed deeply. Then, the question naturally came to mind: If the Fire Moths aren't even paying attention to the Great Collapse, what are these higher-ups paying attention to now?

Then Desmond's words rang in Kevin's ears.

Desdovia's words are unlikely to affect Roland, but they will have a huge impact on Kevin, Kosmo, and even Hen.

Especially since Desdovia was their comrade-in-arms...

Their comrades, who had spent every day with them, had become Herrschers. The three of them were already unsettled, and they found it hard to forget or care about what Desdovia had said.

However, they also knew that Desmondia's words were still too extreme.

Kevin is now disappointed with the Fire Moth and confused about the future, but he still has no intention of destroying humanity. At most, he just wants to confide in someone about his thoughts.

However, this is actually a very difficult matter.

Because Kevin always needs to maintain a positive attitude in front of his teammates.

He was confused, so he knew very well that his teammates would also be confused, especially those like Kosmo who dreamed of becoming heroes.

Their dreams, like glass reflecting light, are bright but fragile.

Kevin had once joined the Firemoth with the same dream, which made him understand Kosmo and his team, and he would do his best to protect their dreams.

That's why he kept telling them at times like this—everything will be alright.

But no one would say the same words or offer the same comfort to him.

No one will comfort him when he's lost... no, they'd even be willing to lie to him.

In the past, if anything happened, Alicia would solve all the problems—but now Alicia has gone to reverse entropy.

When Himiko was still leading the Fifth Squad, he had talked with the seniors of the Fifth Squad several times, but the Fifth Squad is no longer around.

Hen and Kevin were old acquaintances, but Hen was not only married but also had a daughter. He had a lot of messy things going on with him. It was said that his daughter, Little Gretchen, had been in poor health since she was a child, so Kevin did not plan to bother her at this time.

As for his close friend, Sue, she had been very busy for some time, and Kevin hadn't been in touch with her for a while. Now, Kevin was even more afraid of bothering her with some inexplicable things on his side and affecting her mood.

So Kevin staggered back to his room, closed the door, and leaned against it, sitting weakly on the floor like a piece of discarded trash.

It took Kevin a long time to calm down. Then he picked up his phone, scrolled through his almost completely blacked-out contact list, and finally stopped at one number.

Kevin had never communicated with this person before.

However, he was saved twice during this mission.

Although the other party was verbally abusive, they had a good heart. Besides, the other party was from Anti-Entropy. While he couldn't reveal important information to them, at least he wouldn't have to bear the burden of being the captain in front of them...

Kevin stared at the number for a long time before finally dialing it.

He just wants to confide in someone who isn't a member of the Fire Moths.

As long as the other party has time, it's fine even if they are a member of the Entropy group you just met today.

"You were attacked by the Eighth Herrscher?"

"Oh, you feel lost—maybe you've eaten too much. Keep yourself busy so you won't overthink things."

"I feel a lot of pressure... Aren't you Firemoths just trying to slack off as much as possible in the fight against the Honkai? What's so stressful about that?"

"You're different from them? Then here's the question... if your goal is to fight the Honkai, why don't you come to Anti-Entropy?"

When Kevin called Roland, Roland was sitting in a chair behind his desk, looking at his phone on the desk, playing Werewolf while waiting.

Finally, Kevin called.

So he followed Kevin's lead and gradually steered the conversation in this direction.

"Join Anti-Entropy. You and your team members are welcome, and you can even bring your families—as long as you want to fight against the Honkai, then we are already natural allies."

Roland said this, and Kevin listened to Roland's words in silence for a long time.

Finally, he took a deep breath.

"...Let me think about it some more."

Hearing Kevin say that, Roland didn't press the matter. He simply said it was Kevin's prerogative, chatted with Kevin for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

After receiving the call, Roland stood up from his chair, walked to the window, looked in the direction of the Fire-Chasing Moth, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Kevin, it's not that I'm forcing you to make a choice, but your time is running out."

Roland sensed a massive Honkai energy reaction in the direction of the Fire Moth.

Moreover, the Honkai energy tracking device that Velve had installed in his office became clearer at this moment, instead of remaining blurry.

This time it's not the incomplete Eighth Herrscher or her companion Honkai Beast.

This is the real eighth Great Collapse!

As for the location of the eighth Great Collapse...

Just as Roland had thought.

He had put enough pressure on Desdovia, so Desdovia didn't go to Twilight Street immediately. Instead, she went straight to the Fire Moth, carrying the hatred she already had!

Therefore, the location of this outbreak is—the headquarters of the Firemoth!

....

125. Even without the title of savior, he would still fight to the end.

Black feathers fell at the headquarters of the Firemoth, like a funeral rain.

However, no one could see this scene, because at that moment, everyone in the Firemoth headquarters—whether guards or officials—had fallen to the ground and fallen into a deep sleep.

This is the eighth law, the power of the law of knowledge.

same

In this incredibly quiet space where there wasn't even a single Honkai Beast, the Eighth Great Honkai Eruption erupted!

"Kevin! Well done!"

"Score another goal!"

The noisy sounds, the warm light, the scorching temperature... this atmosphere gave Kevin a momentary feeling of a hazy dream.

However, before he could stand there in a daze for long, his teammate patted him on the shoulder.

"Kevin, stop standing there—we're one goal short, and it all depends on you!"
