Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 190

Roland has a better idea now.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Put aside any questions you can't figure out for now; the priority is still the final battle in the Honkai world.

Because preparations for this battle had actually begun long ago, Roland made some minor adjustments. Then, the next day, after Sue, Ling, and Carmen had a preliminary understanding of the God Group's situation, he called everyone to the conference room.

"As you all probably already know, after the last Great Collapse ended, the moon's location accumulated a large amount of Collapse energy."

"But this doesn't mean the next Great Collapse will occur on the moon. Rather, the previous Great Collapses were like rehearsals, and now that the rehearsals are over, this Great Collapse will be the last one."

"It was also the largest in scale, the most impactful, and the most dangerous."

As Roland finished speaking, he immediately sent out the information on the Cocoon of the End and the Herrscher of the End.

Roland didn't explain how he knew these things.

This is his usual practice. Just like when he first fought the Holy Grail War, he provided a lot of information, but didn't mention the source. He would use this information to judge things and to deal with situations and problems flexibly.

However, those present clearly had no doubts about this.

Most of them had known Roland for a long time, and even those who weren't very familiar with him had gradually developed trust in him.

Even with Carmen, she would try to believe in Roland.

So if Roland doesn't say something, they won't think too much about it.

Medea was like that in the beginning.

Roland actually had many flaws in the early stages, almost all of which he deliberately exposed. There were tests and traps, and he didn't believe that Medea would be completely unaware of them. But Medea didn't care at all. She chose to trust him wholeheartedly and delivered a straight shot that broke Roland's defense.

At that time, Roland was completely defenseless against such direct trust, and was caught off guard, which even led to Medea's counter-strategy against him.

Although he is still not good at dealing with direct questions, he has become somewhat immune to them after experiencing more situations.

This made him silently note down everyone's reactions, and then, after they had finished reading the information, he continued speaking.

"With the outbreak of this Great Honkai, the Herrscher of the End needs someone to deal with it. With such a large amount of Honkai energy being released, I estimate that the Honkai energy on Earth will also experience a surge."

"I have been systematically expanding my forces since the very beginning of Anti-Entropy, all for the sake of today."

"Moreover, Anti-Entropy's forces are currently scattered all over the world, so I need you to disperse around the world and lead Anti-Entropy's forces to deal with the Honkai that is causing uprisings around the world."

Hearing Roland say this, everyone present nodded, but Alicia raised her hand like a primary school student answering a question from the teacher.

Her appearance almost made Roland lose his composure, which was originally a serious expression.

"Alicia, is there a problem?"

"Yes, my question is, we're scattered all over the world dealing with the Honkai, so Roland, are you planning to deal with the Herrscher of the End alone?"

This was a question that had been puzzling people before, but now that Alicia had asked it, all eyes were on Roland.

Roland didn't hide anything from this and nodded directly.

"Correct."

With Roland's confirmation, almost everyone frowned, but before they could speak, Roland spoke first.

"There's nothing we can do about it. As I told you before, Tiamat had her own mission—and her mission was to extract the power of the Herrschers from the Herrscher cores we collected, so as to use the Sea of ​​Life to cultivate the Cocoon of the End."

"This task was completed when the last Great Collapse ended, and I also fused with the power of the Cocoon of the End, becoming the Herrscher of the End even earlier than the one on the moon."

As Roland spoke, his eyes lit up, revealing a gaze that seemed to hold a goal, or even a cross of judgment.

"So I know very well what kind of power the Herrscher of the End has... If we fight it with all our might, even if we win, we may not be able to save the moon."

"If the moon were gone, the Earth would not be any better off. Starting with the magnetic field, all sorts of messy effects would come rushing in all at once."

"And pulling the other party into the virtual world won't work either, because it's different from me. I am the master of the Cocoon of the End, and it's just a tool. So if I pull it into the virtual world, the Cocoon of the End will lose a tool and just create another one. But what I want is to solve the problem once and for all."

"Therefore, we must choose a more special battlefield and fight the enemy with all our might. And this battlefield can only be entered by the two of us, so the outcome can only be decided between the two of us."

Hearing Roland say this, even Alicia fell silent.

Seeing them like this, Roland smiled.

"Alright, stop like that. We're fighting against the Great Honkai, so whether we're fighting the Herrschers or dealing with other issues... what we really want to do is protect something, not conquer something. So the only difference is the battlefield."

"And don't be too pessimistic... Cheer up, as I said before, the other party is just a tool of the Cocoon of the End, while I am the master of the Cocoon of the End."

"So if anyone should be pessimistic, it should be the other party who is pessimistic, not us."

"Don't act like I'm about to sacrifice myself."

"I will win, I promise."

Upon hearing Roland's words, the meeting room remained silent until Qianjie finally spoke up after a long while.

"Then it's up to you. But if you die, don't stop me from fighting that Herrscher!"

"How can I stop you now that I'm already dead..."

Hearing Qianjie say this, Roland responded to him helplessly.

After Qian Jie started it, the others thought about it and agreed one after another. But usually only Qian Jie was so arrogant, but now they all seemed to have become Qian Jie.

"If you die, I'll use your body for experiments!"

"If you die, anti-entropy will be mine!"

"If you die, we'll steal your offerings!"

Seeing them like this, Roland, unusually, laughed out loud—not in a pretense, but genuinely.

"Fine, if you want me to stop here, then do whatever you want—but your wishes are going to be disappointed, because I will win, and I will win cleanly and decisively. As the center of a group of gods that spans multiple worlds, I will not die here."

Roland said this, and then he and the others looked at each other and smiled, and that was how the matter was settled.

The meeting ended like this.

The final arrangement was actually the simplest. The only point of contention was that Roland would deal with the Herrscher of the End. Everything else was completed smoothly.

When the arrangements for the meeting were first delegated, many people realized that the reason the arrangements were so simple was because Roland had been planning many things long ago... This discovery made them trust Roland even more.

Then, as they all traveled to various parts of the world, Roland's figure appeared on the moon.

He saw the Herrscher of the End, who had already formed a physical body, and then, with him at its core, the world began to distort.

The power of the Law of Knowledge is fully activated under the power of the end, and when the other party responds to this power, the same power is also activated.

With the power of the two Heralds of the End, a spiritual world that only the two of them could enter was thus constructed.

This is the battlefield that Roland chose to fight against the Herrscher of the End.

It was also the endpoint he chose to end the collapse!

The final battle has begun!

....

143. Medium to large black holes, unfold!

The spiritual world that is formed contains elements of Roland and elements of the Herrscher of the End. The battlefield that is ultimately formed by the combination of their ideas is Earth!

They were on Earth, gazing at each other across the vast grasslands.

Then the Herrscher of the End raised his hand.

A massive amount of Honkai energy surrounded it. All the previous Herrscher powers were merely a warm-up for the Herrscher of the End, while the various powers displayed by the Herrscher of the End were all even stronger versions of power.

In addition, the massive Honkai energy brought about extremely terrifying effects.

If Roland weren't another Herrscher of the End, there really wouldn't be a good way to deal with him for the time being.

but

"Sorry, I have the same powers as you."

As the power of the Herrscher of the End spread, Roland also used the Herrscher of the End's various powers.

If this were the real Earth, then the Herrscher of the End would attack mindlessly, and Roland would definitely have to use his own power to suppress the Herrscher's power—in that case, Roland would be inherently at a disadvantage.

But this is now the spiritual world...

Therefore, Roland directly used his own power to amplify the destructive power of the opponent's power, and used this immense destructive power to damage it!

Under Roland's fighting style, several elements exploded directly on the ground, and terrifying Honkai energy spread along the ground. The combined power of the two Herrschers of the End caused the Honkai energy to begin to erode the ground, leaving purple scars that resembled the scars on Earth, and these scars were gradually expanding their range!

Everything on earth was extinguished as the scar expanded!

The ground was completely cleared by this force!

Watching all this, Roland flew into space, while the Herrscher of the End was somewhat bewildered.

The Law of the End is merely a tool of the Cocoon of the End.

But it still possesses instincts.

If Roland had done something else, it probably wouldn't have reacted, even if Roland had taken his pants off in front of it—but it was the final trial of the Honkai, so it felt strange to see Roland, who was opposing it, going even further than it had in destroying civilization.

Are you the Lawgiver of the End or am I the Lawgiver of the End?

Don't you want to take a look at what you've actually protected?!

The Herrscher of the End wouldn't have such thoughts, but its operating logic is roughly like this, so it's a bit stuck for a while.
