Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 247

Everyone present, whether it was the Snow Wolf Squad, the Golden Squad, or the Valkyries surrounding the battlefield, abruptly stopped what they were doing at that moment!

Then countless shadow wolves emerged from the shadows, instantly defeating the Golden Squad and the Valkyries. Roland also stepped out from the shadows and walked towards the Snow Wolf Squad, who had regained their mobility but were still somewhat wary, greeting them with a smile.

"You must be Cecilia's companions. She sent me to meet you, so come with me~"

......

212. World Order

"Cecilia!"

Before meeting Cecilia, the Snow Wolf Squad was somewhat wary of Roland.

However, after seeing Cecilia, it's hard to say about others, but at least Shigure Kira's guard dropped completely. After confirming that Cecilia was indeed Cecilia, she pounced on Cecilia like a child.

Seeing this, Theresa emerged from the side and pushed away Shigure Kira, who was hugging Cecilia, and then their little struggle began.

"It's reassuring to see such scenes. One thing after another has been happening lately, it's been exhausting."

The argument between Shigure Kira and Theresa was like the starting gun fired by the referee before a race. After hearing this sound, the Snow Wolf Squad, who had been on edge, gradually relaxed.

Instead of bothering Theresa, Shigure Kira, and Cecilia who was mediating between the two, the group chatted casually with Roland about recent events, trying to glean some information from him that they didn't know.

Roland felt he could tell them whatever he wanted to tell them, so he simply did.

The atmosphere here is great, but Otto didn't come over at this time.

After all, he could imagine what was happening. If Cecilia hadn't been there, he wouldn't have let Theresa meet the Snow Wolf Squad alone, because Theresa was not only immature but also quite naive in handling many issues. So even if she was annoying, he would still come.

Now that Cecilia is here, he also learned about Roland from Cecilia—with the two of them around, Otto didn't come over and cause any trouble.

However, after the Snow Wolf Squad was settled, Otto approached Cheng Lixue.

He has some questions to ask.

First, why didn't Amber come with 480?

Then came some more clandestine matters.

After all, while Otto's efforts to win over the Snow Wolf Squad were partly due to Cecilia being the one with the problems, which made them all viable, the main reason was Cheng Lixue.

Cheng Lixue is more valuable than the rest of the Snow Wolf Squad!

...

In the pre-collapse civilization, Roland brought Fu Hua, then known as Hua, into the ranks of the gods.

Therefore, Hua, who had joined the group of gods, was brought to a parallel world by Roland's side.

This led to Fu Hua, the incredibly important character known as the Crimson Immortal, becoming a legend and a piece of history in the Honkai world, causing many things to change drastically.

For example, the one who protected the land for thousands of years transformed himself from the Crimson Mandarin Duck Immortal into the Taixu Sect.

Then, during the time when the Crimson Mandarin Duck Immortal had problems, the Taixu Sect declined, and now, in this generation, only Cheng Lixue, the sect leader, remains, without even a single disciple.

Because of the decline of the Taixu Sect under his leadership, Cheng Lixue's cultivation level has been stuck at the Wuchen realm among the four realms of Still Water, Dustless, Clear Mirror, and Taixu, making it difficult for him to progress.

However, as the leader of the Taixu Sect, Cheng Lixue still uses one of the weapons of the Key of Domination, and her cultivation techniques are also the same as those of the Taixu Sect. Even under such circumstances, she is still the strongest A-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, and even the acting commander of the Valkyrie Force appointed by Otto.

This fully demonstrates her difference from other Valkyries.

However, compared to these reasons, Otto sought out Cheng Lixue mainly for other reasons.

“The situation has come to this point. According to you, the person impersonating Cecilia has many undocumented methods and unclear motives. There is likely an organization behind her that we have not yet discovered. So I think it is time for us to reveal some of our trump cards. Don’t you think so?”

Faced with Otto's question, Cheng Lixue remained silent.

When Otto approached her, she already knew what he wanted to do.

However, when she heard Otto actually ask the question, she still felt a little emotional.

What Otto had to do was very simple.

That is, back then, the leader of the Taixu Sect made a deal with a Rakshasa named Otto Apocalypse. The deal was that the Taixu Sect could cooperate with the Destiny, but Otto had to do something for that leader.

The idea is to freeze and preserve the most talented member of the Taixu Sect's generation using a special method, and then release them when they are truly in danger to help them recover and solve their problems.

This happened hundreds of years ago.

And that predecessor named Li Sushang has been asleep for hundreds of years.

The Taixu Sect has now declined.

To be honest, Cheng Lixue didn't really want to wake up this senior.

Because that's where her own inner conflict lies.

That is, after her master's sudden death, the Taixu Sect gradually declined to its current state under her leadership.

Feeling ashamed to face the founder, this was Cheng Lixue's inner conflict after Fu Hua was bound by the parallel world.

However, given the current situation...

Thinking of this, Cheng Lixue sighed deeply, then closed her eyes and, without saying a word, nodded gently to Otto.

Fine.

Let's wake up Senior Li Sushang.

...

After the Snow Wolf Squad joined, Otto, with Theresa as their leader, quickly integrated resources in the Far East and established a Far East branch.

Otto seemed to find the idea of ​​practicing the trumpet himself quite interesting, so even though Amber wasn't around, he surprisingly didn't slack off at work, but instead methodically put several plans on the agenda.

Despite the pressure from the Queen, the Valkyries haven't forgotten that their conflict with the Queen is merely an internal struggle between human organizations. Humanity's true enemy is the Honkai. Therefore, they've been diverting resources to deal with various Honkai incidents in the Far East and are gradually incorporating the influence of the Taixu Sect in Shenzhou into their sphere of influence.

After the Valkyries who attacked the Snow Wolf Squad were captured, the members of the Golden Squad were stripped of their equipment and interrogated along with the other Valkyries. After some time, the interrogation results should be available soon.

As for Roland…

Today, he stood on the shore, watching Ryougi Shiki emerge from the seabed, and slowly walked over.

"Has the item been found?"

When Roland asked this question right away, Ryougi Shiki glanced at him.

"When you told me before that you wanted to live a more carefree life, I was all ready to fight alongside you to the very end of the Destiny headquarters. I never imagined that your so-called carefree life would turn out like this."

Ryougi Shiki did not answer Roland directly, but instead gave a sarcastic reply.

Roland knew then that the Eastern and Western rituals must have been found, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken in that tone.

As for what Ryougi Shiki said, he just smiled and didn't care.

"Being carefree doesn't mean being brainless. I told you about the issue of the survivors of the Little Garden before. It's almost certain that the person who took Cecilia's identity is a survivor of the Little Garden. The power of the Little Garden is terrifying. So before we actually approach them, we need to make the necessary preparations and test their current power level. These are the prerequisites for our operation."

"and…"

Roland looked at Ryougi Shiki and shook his head slightly.

"Humans aren't the kind of species that can change instantly just by making a decision to do so—but I've now voluntarily moved from being the behind-the-scenes leader to the front-line operations force, so just consider this my effort."

"alright."

Hearing Roland say that, Ryougi Shiki didn't say anything more, but instead brought the topic back.

"We've found what you were looking for. It's exactly as you said. It's a world fragment similar to the one found in the Type-Moon universe. And just as you guessed, this world fragment is empty. There's no life inside anymore. The creature that was originally inside has escaped."

At this point, Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly.

“However, it will be very difficult for you to obtain this fragment of the world without alerting the other party. The guy who came out of it not only hid the fragment of the world before leaving, but also set up a lot of measures around it. If it weren’t for my ability to analyze and interpret, I wouldn’t have been able to find it. Even so, I don’t dare to get close. If we really make a move on the fragment of the world, we will most likely alert that guy. Is that okay?”

"No problem at all."

Roland was not surprised at all by this result.

"In fact, this is better – after all, once we've tested the scale of their power, if we can attack the world fragments without alerting them, then our operations forces will have to go to their headquarters to get missions."

"That's why it should be like this now."

Ryougi Shiki nodded after learning that Roland had a plan.

"How should we test the other party? Do I need to intervene?"

"Do not…"

Roland turned around and walked side by side with Ryougi Shiki toward the base where Cecilia and the others were.

"...Why do you think I only suppress rather than eliminate the collapse of this world?"

"Even if the other party becomes the Archbishop of Destiny, it won't change one thing: Destiny's enemy is not us, nor Anti-Entropy, but Honkai."

"So if you want to test someone—nothing is easier than Honkai, right?"

"Of course, the Honkai I control will not cause huge casualties—I have prepared the personnel for this and the tasks that the Herrschers need to do, so for now, you should rest for a few days. After the results are out here, you will accompany me to do some things that the action unit should do."

......

213. Cooperation and Almsgiving

"So the thing they're using... well, let's call it a Blessed Equipment, is something that each one has some special abilities, and if we don't use some special methods, even if we manage to steal it, we won't be able to use it, and we might even be able to track their location, right?"

As Otto spoke, Cecilia and Theresa looked at Roland, who nodded slightly.
