Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Upon hearing Roland's words, Velvi stopped pretending.

"I did know that, but I didn't expect you to act so decisively—but I must say, well done! While you were doing this, the Western countries and the countries on the Mu Continent were still holding a virtual meeting. I deliberately adjusted the time when they received the message so that they would see it at the same time. Their expressions at that time were priceless!"

As she spoke, Velvet took off her hat and gave Roland a magician's salute.

"I must commend you, because what you did this time is absolutely the most spectacular magic trick I've seen all year. In this respect, I acknowledge your talent!"

"Thank you very much... But you came all this way specifically for this reason, so now you can tell me why you came to see me."

As Roland said this, seeing that Vervie seemed to be about to make an exaggerated gesture, he added a sentence.

"By the way, although it's all your personality, you're not really a good magician. For example, a magician would never admit that any magic trick other than their own is the most amazing. You know what I mean?"

As Roland spoke, Velvi's previously exaggerated expression froze, and then she slowly returned to a very calm expression, even lowering her voice a little.

"I didn't realize you were so observant... Yes, I did come to see you this time because I have something important to discuss."

Roland could tell from the tone and style that this was the original personality that Velvi rarely used.

After the Sea of ​​Life's adjustments, the side effects of Vilvie's mind-splitting and all sorts of messy problems completely disappeared. Her original personality would occasionally surface, but generally, she wouldn't come out unless it was something important.

Therefore, Roland became more serious when he saw this aspect of Virvi's personality.

"During the eighth Great Honkai, because the Herrscher was in a semi-complete state for a long time, my device that could determine the location of the Great Honkai by tracking Honkai energy failed. So after the eighth Great Honkai, I improved this device."

Roland felt that Vervie was being a bit too meticulous.

After all, during the Eighth Great Collapse, Velvey's device didn't actually fail. It was just that Daisy Dobia's condition was off at the time, so it tracked down a fairly large area. In reality, it could still be used if you guessed.

But it seems that Velvi thinks this situation is a major failure.

"And my improved device can even detect Herrschers in their semi-complete state and Herrschers with very weak fluctuations, so I discovered something very strange."

"That is in the location of Mu Continent, where the concentration of Honkai energy has been pulled to an extremely high level, but the wavelengths that actually converge are not just one, but two."

"What's even stranger is that one wavelength is fine, it's an individual, but the other wavelength is quite strange. There are already hundreds of individuals on the Mu Continent who possess this wavelength... It's like dividing a Herrscher power into hundreds of parts."

"So I judge that it is probably because of our existence that the Honkai has started to get stronger... From one Herrscher appearing at a time, to two appearing at a time, and one of these two Herrschers seems to have the ability to create clones or infect."

Um...

Roland nodded.

"The Ninth Herrscher and the Tenth Herrscher appeared together, and on the Mu Continent no less—I understand, I'll think of a way to deal with this."

Roland first agreed to this matter, and then Roland brought up another topic.

"By the way, Velvet, could you research a method for using the Second Divine Key to evacuate a large number of people? If we're going to fight two Herrschers at once, the worst-case scenario is that we might need to relocate a large number of people, so I'm leaving this to you."

"...Leave it to me."

Vervi pondered for a moment. If she were to use science alone, she really wouldn't have any clue, but adding magic seemed to give her some ideas.

After having an idea, she nodded, then walked out of Roland's office while pondering, seemingly heading back to her workshop.

After watching Velvi leave, Roland slowly walked to the window and looked towards the direction of Mu Dalu through the window. His eyes were as deep as a black hole or an abyss.

He stood there for a while, seemingly having gathered his thoughts, before slowly speaking into the empty office.

"You heard what Vilvie said, didn't you?"

As Roland spoke, Ryougi Shiki emerged from the shadows in the corner and stood beside Roland with her arms crossed.

"I did hear that, so should we cancel all the preparations we originally planned for Mu Continent?"

Ryougi Shiki was chosen by Roland to be the captain-in-chief of the Undead Squad, and is also the one currently leading the Poison Chrysalis, which is the Undead Squad of the Honkai World. Roland leaves all the dirty work to Ryougi Shiki. On the contrary, Sakura, the apparent commander of the Poison Chrysalis and also a member of the Undead Squad, who became the captain of the Honkai World Undead Squad after Ryougi Shiki left, is not as diligent in handling these matters as Ryougi Shiki.

Roland knew very well that although Sakura could handle such matters, she herself didn't like them that much, and even cared about them a little. So, as a member of the God Group, Roland would take her feelings into consideration.

On the contrary, it's Ryougi Shiki.

Especially after meeting Genji, she became indifferent to everything except what she truly cared about. She handled such matters without any emotional fluctuation, making her a much more suitable candidate than Sakura.

Therefore, it is clear to Ryougi Shiki that Roland has made quite a few arrangements on the Mu Continent, seemingly intending to compete with the Western countries and other nations on the Mu Continent for control of it.

I can understand this Ryougi Shiki.

After all, she had been in this world for a long time, so she knew that Mu Continent was the core of human industry, technology, communication, and economy in this world... Mu Continent was built by all the countries in the world and was regarded as the light of humanity.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for people to fight over this place.

But if two Herrschers appear here at once, and one of them has a rather troublesome ability... that's another problem.

Ryougi Shiki thought that many things should be moved from Mu Continent, or at least dispersed to other places, so that these good things would not be taken away by the Herrschers.

She also thought about how, after she got away, she could use these two major collapses to deal with the countries on the Mu Continent. When those countries were scared by the Herrschers, they would naturally come to Anti-Entropy for help. So, everything she gave up at this stage could be taken back with interest in the future!

But to her surprise, Roland shook his head.

"No, there's no need to withdraw from the arrangements on the Mu Continent. On the contrary, we should increase and intensify our arrangements there. We can expose a little bit of it, but the original plan must be executed quickly."

"...I see."

Ryougi Shiki couldn't quite understand Roland's arrangement.

But she also knew that while a physical fight might be unpredictable, she couldn't outsmart Roland when it came to brains.

In this regard, she only needs to trust Roland and follow his arrangements.

Therefore, after receiving Roland's attitude, she retreated into the shadows, silently leaving to arrange matters concerning Mu Continent.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

"Shiki... the problems on the Mu Continent are far greater than you imagine. They're so great that if we let go, the entire Mu Continent will be sunk into a pseudo-black hole... a simulated black hole, in the hands of the Ninth Herrscher."

"And I've played enough... Now that I've discussed the End with Alicia, it means we should start calculating the final countdown for Honkai."

"So I have no interest in playing along with those so-called power holders... This time, I'm going to resolve all the problems here in one go, and then wholeheartedly prepare to fight against the end."

As he said this, Roland slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky. Although it was daytime, his gaze was fixed on the moon, and the image reflected in his pupils no longer showed any trace of the Mu Continent.

"If the Honkai is going to accelerate, then why don't we also plan to accelerate it?"

....

132. Roland: Haven't you guys had enough?

After Anti-Entropy somehow managed to get the Eastern nations on its side and establish the Anti-Entropy Grand Alliance, the Western nations and the countries of Mu Continent also joined forces, preparing for and waiting for Anti-Entropy to make its move.

As for whether Anti-Entropy will simply remain silent without making any moves... that's the only thing they haven't considered.

After all, Anti-Entropy has already made a high-profile announcement of its entry onto the world stage, so would you just do nothing?

They had always held this idea, and the facts proved them right—the anti-entropy strategy had indeed taken action!

However, they did not expect that Anti-Entropy's actions would be so significant!

It was no small-scale operation from the start. On the Mu Continent, a large number of Anti-Entropy personnel appeared on the territories that originally belonged to the Eastern countries, and the number of combat personnel was constantly being replenished. They even brought in fusion warrior units!

Then, after Roland and Ryougi Shiki said that it wouldn't matter if they were exposed a little, signs of the Immortals' activities began to appear on the Mu Continent.

This discovery immediately drew the attention of Western countries and nations of the Mu continent!

After all, if Anti-Entropy's strategy is to seize more benefits from the Mu Continent, then they will not give up no matter what!

This is because the interests of Mu Continent are too great.

This was also because it was the first action of the Anti-Entropy Alliance. If the other side gained the upper hand, they would be in a very difficult situation. Therefore, they chose to confront Anti-Entropy head-on when Anti-Entropy attacked Mu Continent!

Western countries have sent large numbers of people to the Mu Continent, and those Mu Continent countries have also put up their efforts to fight against Anti-Entropy!

In this struggle, they have undoubtedly succeeded.

On the continent of Mu, the combined power of the Eastern nations and the power of anti-entropy, along with the Western nations and the countries of the continent of Mu, held on!

Even if Anti-Entropy has a powerful fusion warrior force, it's still the same!

However, the Western countries soon discovered a problem—the number of fusion warriors that Anti-Entropy had deployed to the Mu Continent was... a bit too few, wasn't it?

There are probably only two units.

Therefore, by deploying more manpower and resources than their opponents, they were able to prolong the battle and maintain a stalemate with Anti-Entropy.

Just as they were wondering about this, the remaining fusion warriors appeared.

However, it did not appear on the Mu Continent, but spread westward from the location of Twilight Street!

A large number of fusion warriors pushed their way through, each with its own clear objective, which directly caused trouble for the Western countries!

After all, if Anti-Entropy does this, everything will be fine on the Mu Continent, but problems will arise on their own territory!

But now they are in a dilemma.

That means if they don't withdraw their forces from Mu Continent, their own territory will definitely shrink significantly!

Many areas will likely have to be ceded. Only by narrowing the defensive perimeter and lengthening the battle lines can we more effectively disperse the enemy's fusion warriors.

But what if they take back Mu Dalu's people? What will happen to Mu Dalu then?

The situation quickly deteriorated into this state, leading to numerous virtual meetings between Western countries and nations of the Mu continent.

Ultimately, the Western nations made a decision—to shift their national focus toward building the best and most profitable continent, Mu!

Afterwards, clear out the edge areas of your own territory to reduce the scope.

We'll defend Mu Continent to the death!
