Seeing their reaction, Kevin sighed inwardly.
Although he felt that it would take some time to truly understand what kind of organization Anti-Entropy was, he refrained from raising these questions when he thought about the current state of the Fire Moth.
After all, after the Eighth Great Collapse ended, Kevin came down from the battlefield and did some statistics.
The entire leadership of the Fire Moth was wiped out, and many members were killed or injured.
However, it's possible that the combat troops were mostly equipped with gear, and some researchers were in the most heavily guarded laboratories, so the losses in these two groups were not as great.
But the complete annihilation of the top leadership already signifies the demise of the moths that chase the flame.
Thinking of this, Kevin also looked in the direction that Roland called the Sea of Life.
After coming down from the battlefield, Desdobia's body was sent inside. It was said that Desdobia could be saved. When Kevin first heard this news, he was somewhat happy.
However, now that I think about how the Fire Moth's current state is inextricably linked to Desdobia, the Fire Moth is alright, since they were all asleep before, so apart from their own team members who might have some guesses, no one else would know anything.
But Daisy Dobby killed so many of the Firemoths, how could she possibly get past her own hurdle?
Could she be thinking of doing something drastic?
"A good death!"
After being repaired and reawakened by the Sea of Life, Desdovia, upon hearing that all the high-ranking members of the Firemoth had been wiped out, did not seem upset at all; instead, she burst out laughing.
"To be honest, although I thought from the beginning that you probably wouldn't have much sympathy for those guys from the Firemoth, I didn't expect you to express it so directly."
Roland looked at Daisy Dobia in front of him and was a little curious about her current mental state.
Desdobia shook her head slightly and began to explain.
"How could I possibly sympathize with those guys? Although after listening to you, I also felt that my thoughts as a Herrscher were a bit too extreme, I think there's absolutely no problem with killing off all the higher-ups of the Flame Chaser."
"After all, I was once a family member of the squad led by Instructor Himiko... After Instructor Himiko was transferred to Australia, I personally witnessed the once harmonious squad fall apart due to those guys' schemes..."
"Every member of the squad has suffered a terrible fate. Some died on the battlefield, some were captured, some were imprisoned and never heard from again, and some were assassinated..."
"And the reason this small team was dismantled was simply because, during the Third Great Collapse, in order to protect the people, they disobeyed the orders of the higher-ups of the Firemoth and did not abandon Changkong City directly."
At this point, Desdobia's smile turned colder.
"In my opinion, these guys are even more evil than the Honkai!"
Hearing Daisy Dobby say that, Roland nodded approvingly.
"That's true. That's one of the reasons why I want to fight against the Honkai and would rather spend my time building a completely new organization than join the Moth of Flames."
As Roland said this, he smiled and extended his hand to Desdobia.
"But don't worry about it from now on, anti-entropy and the fire-chasing moth are not the same."
Desdovia looked at Roland's outstretched hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and without questioning anything, she also extended her hand and shook hands with Roland's.
She had no memories of the Herrscher of Knowledge, but when she first woke up, Alicia, Seele, and... Himiko—the three of them came to see her at the Sea of Life.
Destobia greatly admired Himiko, so since Himiko had chosen the man before her, she would trust Himiko's choice.
Seeing Desmondia like this, Roland opened the door to the Sea of Life.
"Alright, Kevin and the others have been waiting for you for a while. Go out and meet with them. After you've finished talking, remember to come to my office together. I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing Roland's words, Desdobia nodded in agreement.
Roland watched her leave the Sea of Life, and then, in this empty ocean, he spoke as if to himself.
"Is Alicia's visit to the Sea of Life to see Desdobia a pretense, but rather a ploy to find out about our plans?"
As Roland spoke, Tiamat appeared directly beside him and nodded.
"Yes, she probably didn't find out before, but this time you said we shouldn't deliberately hide it from her, so she must have discovered our plan."
Tiamat said this, and then asked Roland a question.
"Is it okay if Ellie finds out?"
"no problem."
Roland smiled and shook his head.
“We haven’t done anything shameful. In fact, this is part of our preparations to fight the Honkai. It’s just that it’s too illogical, which is why I haven’t told anyone else. As for Alicia, it’s fine.”
“I deliberately let Alicia know many things, and I also let her gradually come into contact with these things that should have been secrets.”
"You think highly of Ellie?"
Tiamat was genuinely puzzled this time.
"Ah."
Roland readily agreed.
"I've told you before, haven't I? We are a group of gods, so only the Void Realm is our main base, and all other worlds are just branches."
“But even branches need manpower to manage them. The Type-Moon world is managed by the current Mage Association, and the Akame ga Kill! world has always been managed by Hyakki Yakou and Esdeath. I won’t stay in one branch for long, so the Honkai world also needs a manager, which is why I chose Alicia.”
"I see."
Tiamat nodded; she understood.
Roland patted her head, then withdrew his hand before she could provoke him, and left the Sea of Life with a smile to go back to his office to wait for her.
Kevin and the others didn't keep Roland waiting long. (520)
Soon, Kevin, Hen, Kosmo, and Desdobia arrived at Roland's office.
At this moment, Kevin, Hen, and Kosmo have all completed the fusion warrior surgery, while Desdovia has been revived as a Herrscher. Needless to say, the Herrschers are not ordinary Honkai Beasts either, so their strength and potential have been replenished. In addition, they have achieved a lot during their time with the Fire Moth, so they are all qualified to join the pantheon.
It was at this moment that Roland told them about the gods and extended an invitation to them.
Desdobia was the first to agree.
Kevin and the others hesitated for a moment, mainly because the benefits of the gods were too good, and they felt that they might not be worthy of it... However, considering that his daughter, Gretchen, had always been in poor health, although he had asked his wife to take Gretchen to Mébius after arriving at Anti-Entropy, if Mébius couldn't help her either, then he could restore her health by taking his daughter as a god.
So Hen agreed second, and Kevin and Kosmo followed suit.
With the agreement of the four of them, the number of members in the God Group increased from 33 to 37.
对中心加持也从原本的Lv7（35人升级）变成了Lv8（40人升级），晋升阶梯的上限也来到了Lv7！
Furthermore, Roland gained four more enhancement points.
He has already upgraded it to (+6), and the Dragon's Remnant, which was just a step away from undergoing a qualitative change, can finally be upgraded!
....
128. The Shadow of the Three-Headed Dragon Draped in a Banner
In fact, Sue and Kevin completed the fusion warrior surgery together.
However, unlike Kevin and the others, Sue is not quite there in many ways.
His strength still needs to be improved. His potential is enough after fusing with Moyu, but before that he was just a doctor, and his achievement in treating Honkai disease was stolen, so his achievements are not enough!
This means Su needs to train with the elite squad for a while longer and accumulate more achievements before he can join the God Group.
However, Roland wasn't in a hurry.
Now he looked at the four enhancement points in his hand and opened the panel of the [God Group System].
The bonus to the center of the divine group has been increased to Lv8, so the level cap for skill enhancement has also reached (+8). However, Roland still focused on the skill Dragon's Shadow +6 first, spending one enhancement point to directly enhance it to Dragon's Shadow +7!
really.
Just like how Gravity Manipulation touched the threshold of a black hole after being enhanced to (+7), Dragon's Remnant also underwent a qualitative change after being enhanced to (+7)!
but
"Why is it such a shadow..."
Roland frowned slightly as he sensed the changes in the dragon's legacy.
According to his original idea, the Dragon's Remnant, which was already moving towards the Little Garden at (+6), should have become the real Dragon's Remnant of the Little Garden after (+7).
But in reality...
Roland's shadow changed according to his will.
Then Roland sat behind his desk, and the shadow cast on the wall by the light grew into three heads!
One head is located in the very center, and the other two heads are clustered around the central head like triangular shoulder armor—and each head has dragon-like features such as horns.
Then the shadow was carrying something that looked like a cape or a flag.
Beneath this thing, the shadow's body part still largely retained its human form, but it also grew dragon-like features that resembled claws.
Roland could clearly sense that this humanoid three-headed dragon shadow was indeed much stronger than the previous Vortigern shadow.
Moreover, although the shadow can take this form, Roland has not lost the form of the Vortigern's shadow. If he wants, he can transform the shadow into the form of Vortigern at any time.
but......
"The skill 'Dragon's Shadow' originally came from the Little Garden, and it's even the shadow of the three-headed dragon..."
"What exactly is the image of a three-headed dragon carrying a flag trying to represent?"
Roland frowned, staring intently at his own shadow on the wall, which was striking the same pose as his own. Finally, he let out a long sigh.
