Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"If it's truly about fighting the Honkai..."

"Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!"

Before Roland could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a member of parliament.

"How could Anti-Entropy be genuinely fighting against the Honkai! If they were truly fighting the Honkai, why would they be using the Herrscher of Death's corpse and core!?"

"They must have ulterior motives, intending to destroy the peace that we, the Fire Moths, have worked so hard to build. They might even be an organization with a broken faith. They must be evil!"

Upon hearing this, Roland simply shook his head slightly.

Judging others by one's own standards is nothing more than this.

So Roland didn't bother arguing with him. He simply pressed a few buttons on the control panel, bringing up a virtual screen for everyone.

Subsequently, footage captured by the drone, showing Twilight Street and Anti-Entropy, came into view for everyone.

Before this, many people knew what Dusk Street was like.

So when they thought they were about to see chaos on Twilight Street, they found that under the management of Anti-Entropy, Twilight Street was orderly and there was no trace of chaos. Moreover, every citizen had a happy smile on their face.

"This must be a superficial phenomenon; the actual reversal of entropy must be evil!"

The congressman was still sticking to his own statement.

Then the drone's view shifted, showing a large number of Honkai disease patients queuing for treatment. Everyone then saw a website that advertised anti-entropy as a cure for Honkai disease, and even offered free treatment.

"Can they cure Honkai disease?"

Mei was somewhat surprised.

"And it's free! Ha, if this technology fell into the hands of some other guys waving the banner of justice, they'd probably expel all the poor from the community!"

Mebius looked at the senator who had just been saying that anti-entropy was evil and started to speak sarcastically.

Before the other party could even retaliate, Mebius added another comment.

"Oh dear, sorry, I forgot. Some people simply can't afford to invest in researching technologies truly designed to combat the Honkai; they're only thinking about themselves~"

Mebius's sarcastic and calculating tone, combined with her manner of speaking, was incredibly infuriating.

But the members of parliament present had no other way to target Möbius except by cutting his funding.

Unlike Mei, a new researcher, Möbius is a world-renowned scientist, one who is destined to be recorded in history books—so as long as she is willing to help with the research, she is essentially protected.

The powerful nation behind the Fire Moth would absolutely not allow her to be killed.

However, it's not allowed to criticize Mebius, but it's okay to say a few bad things about anti-entropy.

Afterwards, the group of councilors said that this must be just a superficial phenomenon, and that free things are the most expensive. However, they were rebuffed by Mebius's remark, "Then the prices of our Fire Moths are really reasonable." They remained silent for a long time.

Roland silently watched all of this and used the drone to expose all the intelligence he wanted to reveal.

From excellent systems to free medical care, and even the ability to restore fallen soldiers to normal life.

Then there are the standardized troops of Anti-Entropy, with their excellent weapons and outstanding soldiers, who train diligently and research hard to fight against the Honkai.

They even saw Vilvi.

Then the higher-ups of these Moths of Fire looked increasingly grim.

Previously, the Fire-Chasing Moths had no competitors, so it didn't matter how bad they were. Now, with the comparison, the rottenness of the Fire-Chasing Moths is highlighted to the fullest extent.

And they kept saying that this was the surface of anti-entropy, not the core, and that we, the Fire-Chasing Moths, could do better—I doubt even they could fool themselves.

This is the council of the high-ranking members of the Firemoth; everyone knows each other.

Who doesn't know what kind of organization the Fire Moth is now?

He's just being stubborn!

However, seeing them like this, Roland had a sudden idea. He then took the core of the Herrscher of Death and deliberately sought out Velvet in a location that the drone could observe.

"Vilvie, this is the sixth Herrscher in order, and the core of the one we named the Herrscher of Death. Now I'm handing it over to you."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Velvi paused for a moment, then looked at Roland with some puzzlement after receiving the core.

"You trust me that much?"

"I simply believe in your talent. I firmly believe that the Herrscher Core can only reach its full potential in your hands—at least that's the case within our Anti-Entropy."

"So, I'm counting on you to fight against the Honkai."

Seeing Roland's serious expression, Velvi also became more serious.

"You're building weapons to fight the Honkai, right? I understand. But wasn't this Great Honkai easily resolved? Are you that worried?"

Roland nodded.

"Yes, I'm very worried, Velvet. I don't know if you've calculated it, but from the first Honkai to the previous sixth Honkai, although it seems that because of our human attention, several major Honkai were easily resolved, the concentration of Honkai energy, the strength of Herrschers, the area of ​​Honkai outbreak, the number and types of zombies, and the strength of Honkai Beasts have all been increasing."

"Under these circumstances, do you know how many times the Great Collapse will occur in total?"

"Yes, we can easily resolve the Great Collapse at this stage, but this might be our only chance. The Sixth Herrscher already gave me a very strange feeling. The increase in the magnitude of the Seventh Collapse makes me have a bad feeling—what about the Tenth Collapse? What about the Twentieth Collapse?"

"What will we do when we humans don't strive to improve ourselves while we can still easily handle these problems?"

Hearing Roland say this, Velvi also became serious.

"really..."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Vervies deep in thought.

"That's why we need to work even harder. I believe in your talent in science and technology. I think you are no less than that great scientist Möbius. If it were you, you would definitely be able to keep civilization on a stable path of progress, so that the Honkai won't easily surpass us."

At this point, Mebius raised an eyebrow at the meeting, but before she could say anything, Roland in the scene spoke up again.

"Ah, but it's a pity. If only Dr. Möbius could help us too—you would be in charge of advancing technology, and Dr. Möbius would be in charge of human evolution... Only by working together can humanity improve alongside the Honkai until the Honkai is completely defeated!"

When Vervies saw Roland Quamebius, she, who was very confident in her own talent, spoke up.

"Chief, do you really think highly of that Mebius?"

"I have high hopes for him, but I also have high hopes for you. If you asked me to choose four of the best scientists of this era, I would definitely choose Möbius. You, M..."

"There is Einstein."

"It's a pity that three of them are in the Moth of Fire. But the Moth of Fire is also an organization that specializes in fighting the Honkai. I think if they're not stupid, they can see what I can see too. So right now, they must be just like me, investing all their resources and funds into the research of these three doctors, trying to help humanity take advantage of this period of advantage to make further progress."

"I feel a little at ease whenever I think about this. After all, although humanity has encountered the Honkai, there are still geniuses like you standing at the forefront of humanity, protecting humanity's future."

Hearing Roland say that, Virvi smiled.

"Then you can rest assured. A weapon to fight Honkai, right? Leave it to me!"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a weapon... Velvie, just do what you want. After all, while I'm not completely clueless about scientific research, I'm far behind you guys. So, research the characteristics of the Herrscher of Death's core and use that as a basis for your own ideas."

"Oh? Then aren't you afraid that I'll make some strange and unusual things, Chief?"

"I believe you."

The screen was playing a clip like this, and this kind of scene gradually silenced the Moth Chasing Fire councilors, making them feel somewhat ashamed!

Mebius and Mei looked at the screen with strange expressions.

They really didn't expect that the leader of Anti-Entropy would think so highly of them, that he would be so farsighted, and most importantly... he would give them as much funding and resources as Vervie asked for!

What kind of paradise is that over there?!

In particular, Roland's support for research on human evolution made Möbius feel that the leader of Anti-Entropy must be one of his few comprehensionists!

Soulmate!

Listen to his fantasies about moths chasing fire, and then think about how your own resources and funding are constantly being hampered...

Ha, she's even thinking of defecting to the other side!

When the Moth of Fire members saw the strange looks in Mebius and Mei's eyes, their expressions immediately changed. They began to attack anti-entropy and say that it was all fake!

Some even said that these drones had been discovered long ago, so they were deliberately staging this!

Roland smiled at this, completely unconcerned.

He only needed to leave behind the seeds; the rest didn't matter.

But at that moment, Alicia, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Oh, since none of you believe me, shall I go take a look over there?"

Upon hearing Alicia's words, the councilors exchanged glances.

To be honest, they could all see that Anti-Entropy might really have been established to fight against the Honkai, so they were all somewhat reluctant to let Alicia go there.

What if Alicia goes there and doesn't come back?

However, after seeing the gazes of Mebius and Mei, these councilors had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Alicia's proposal.

Alicia smiled, looking as if she had achieved her little goal.

Roland watched all of this silently.

He wasn't afraid of Alicia's investigation at all.

Because reverse entropy is exactly the same as what appears, there's nothing to fear from investigation!

but...

This is different from my previous idea of ​​leaving a seed in the hearts of Mebius and Mei.
