Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

...

.....

In the church,

Mebius stood in front of Ziyao, his gaze, reflecting Kevin's figure, quite amused.

It's as if it's saying, "You didn't expect to see me here, did you?"

Of course, in her eyes Kevin was a boring person.

If she were facing Alicia, she would definitely carefully craft her words and give her a good scolding.

No, if that woman also came into reality, wouldn't I be on the same side as her?

“My Lord, she possesses the ability to change appearances and command others.”

The implication is that this Mebius is fake.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He was tricked out of his event funds last time by Ziyao, who was dressed up as Mebius, so he concluded that this was the second time.

"No, it's the real thing."

Kevin shook his head, took a few steps forward, leaving Gray Snake looking completely bewildered.

The former withdrew its inherent abilities, and the cold church instantly transformed from winter to spring.

His target was no longer Walter, but Cheng Ziyao.

As the person closest to him, Walter also sensed that Kevin was no longer interested in him.

"I apologize to you."

His words were brief and to the point.

Putting aside the question of why she is still alive, since Mebius himself has come forward to endorse her, then Nightingale is indeed one of their own.

This explains why the girl knew so much.

It turns out that I misunderstood the other person from the very beginning.

"It's okay, I don't care."

Gently tossing her long hair, Ziyao was in a good mood as the news of Crystal's deposit made her feel better.

No one expected that the leader of the World Serpent would apologize.

One moment he was stern and unapproachable, ready to attack anyone who tried to stop him, but the next he softened and apologized.

That's what it says, but it sounds more like a cold statement, devoid of personal emotion.

However, achieving this level is already quite impressive.

She didn't even give Otto a second glance.

He didn't greet Mebius; although they were colleagues, they didn't have much to talk about.

Nevertheless, they remain a trustworthy companion.

"That was a bad move..."

Otto murmured from not far away.

If he had gone up to help, he could not only have done Ziyao and Walter a favor, but he could also have successfully connected with Kevin.

At the same time, he paid more and more attention to Ziyao, as the girl always had unexpected trump cards up her sleeve.

"I will not attack your companions, nor will I retaliate."

"On the condition that I need to obtain that gem."

Things have returned to square one.

Unlike last time, this was a tone of negotiation, with a hint of implicit threat.

Volume 1: Chapter 205 What I Want to Express (Part 1)

Things have returned to square one.

Kevin had to leave.

Walter did not express his opinion, but nodded to Ziyao, indicating that it was up to her to decide.

If it really comes down to a fight to the death, even at the cost of his life and the shattering of the Herrscher's core, he is confident that he can trap Kevin again, at least for ten years.

"How boring. It's been so many years. I thought you would have some fresher reactions."

"Whether in the past or now, you can't touch my experimental subjects without my permission."

Mebius spoke up, sensing the unusual atmosphere between them.

Judging from the dilapidated state of the church, the two sides had clearly fought.

But her arrival stopped everything.

"If you had come any later, the next time we met would have been in the underworld."

Ziyao's face remained calm, but her heart was already rippling with emotion.

Even the most fearless warrior would tremble at the prospect of facing death, let alone her.

"You're really thick-skinned. Do you think I'm that nice pink-haired guy who would come running over because of a random, unrelated message?"

Mebius said irritably.

"You'll have to explain this to me properly afterwards..."

Unlike the sweet and gentle voice of a little girl, Möbius's voice was softer, sounding as if someone was blowing in one's ear, tickling one's skin.

"Well, I happen to have something to ask you."

As she spoke, Ziyao helped the Motorola duck, who was kneeling on the ground, to its feet.

Kevin then made a request for the gem.

"I will not harm your companions, nor will I retaliate."

"The premise is, that gem..."

Gray Snake, standing to the side, looked somewhat embarrassed. His doubts had not been completely dispelled, but he had to agree with his master's judgment.

What he found even harder to accept was that Kevin actually chose to discuss it with Ziyao.

“…”

Kevin looked around at the people around him, and then an idea came to him.

Instead of lobbying, let these people see for themselves what the apocalypse is really like.

Ultimately, it's up to them to decide who is right.

The weakened Walter no longer possessed the ability to construct the world, and Kevin easily seized control, imbuing it with his own will.

"what happened?!"

Theresa held Seele's hand tightly, and the ground suddenly shook, almost causing her to lose her balance.

This is just the appetizer.

The sky, buildings, the earth, and everything else began to crumble.

Like the plaster peeling off a wall over time, it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The space was removed and replaced with new scenery.

She tried to hold Seele's hand, but found that their bodies had become transparent, as had everyone else's; no one could touch anyone else.

The only exceptions were Ziyao and Bronya, who was by her side.

In the blink of an eye, everything changed.

The desolate land, the dilapidated high-rise buildings, and the yellow sand mixed with the smell of burning smoke.

From the frigid snow city, we arrived in the arid and scorching desert in an instant.

Where is this?

Everyone around them disappeared, leaving only the two of them.

Bronya looked around, trying to find Seele and Theresa.

She passed Welt's three trials and obtained the Herrscher of Reason core, so she began to get used to the situation.

For example, you might blink and find yourself suddenly in a different spot, which you take for granted.

“It’s a city near the desert, but it’s still part of the Quantum Sea,” Ziyao explained.

These are not real; rather, they are simply fragments of memory reproduced by human will using the properties of the quantum sea.

"There was a feeling of being watched. They must not have disappeared, but are somewhere where they can see us."

Ziyao immediately guessed the truth.

By being familiar with the general outline of the story, one can always make the right judgments and decisions.

In fact, as she said, Rita Theresa and her group were all around her in a transparent form, but she couldn't interfere.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of tar.

This is a deserted city, with ruins everywhere.

Conspicuous bloodstains remained on the dilapidated building, and not far away, a strange Honkai beast was devouring a human corpse.

The chewing sound was dull, and every now and then, bones were broken with a chilling crunching sound.

Judging from the other dried and blackened bloodstains, the disaster seems to have happened only recently, about two weeks ago.

Bronya found an advertisement in the pile of buildings, marked with a strange year.

"Aren't we going to solve it?"

I can't beat Kevin, but I can beat a strange Honkai Beast.

“Look, there are new tire tracks on the ground.”

There is no need to offer condolences to unrelated deceased persons.
