Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

"...The second person after that, although I was also surprised, he is in our Anti-Entropy headquarters."

Everyone present had experienced many major collapses, so when Vilvi drew the first area, no one was particularly surprised.

But when Velvi mentioned that another Herrscher was to be born in the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, many people frowned.

"In our headquarters? That's a bit difficult..."

Mei was the first one to frown, and she also spoke directly after Wei Liwei finished speaking.

She has been in Anti-Entropy for a while, so compared to when she first arrived, she has begun to actively express her opinions.

"...If this matter is made public, it will have a certain impact on our anti-entropy, and it is likely to cause some unnecessary panic."

"So this matter was kept secret?"

Mei expressed her thoughts in the most rational way.

She is not actually a robot-like person. Mei is still very emotional - but when facing serious matters, she will use rational thinking to look at the problem.

It was because what she said was both straightforward and rational, so even though some people disagreed with her ideas, no one spoke up to refute her.

"No."

No one else objected, but Roland rejected Mei's opinion.

"If it causes panic, we can send more people to relieve the situation...especially since the special forces led by Su are almost formed. We can take some tough measures when necessary."

"But hiding it is absolutely not an option."

"After all, we are not sure about the power of the Herrscher. Among the powers of the Herrschers so far, there is also the power that the First Herrscher understood and constructed, so we cannot be sure what kind of power the Herrscher born in our Anti-Entropy Headquarters will have."

"If the opponent's power is particularly difficult, our temporary concealment may lead to a huge change in the result. Therefore, we cannot hide it. We must make it public, and then do a good job of appeasing them, preparing for defense, and quickly locate the specific location where the Herrscher may appear."

Roland said this and looked around.

"I also know that this may make things more troublesome, but these troubles are all things we can deal with through our own efforts before the Great Collapse breaks out."

"And if we solve all these problems at this stage, then when the Great Collapse really breaks out, we will be more fully prepared. Facing the Collapse, we must do our best and not underestimate the opponent in the slightest. We must not choose some tricky methods just because our current record is good..."

"So let's arrange this first and then announce it - the people will panic, but they will also be mentally prepared when the Great Disaster breaks out. And after the panic is overcome, their cohesion will also be our insurance against the unknown."

"We must make them feel that anti-entropy is with them."

Hearing Roland say this, Mei nodded.

Although she still felt that this approach was not the most rational, she herself was not a robot, so personally, she preferred Roland's way of handling things - because when Roland handled the problem this way, if every step was arranged well, it would be more tense and more humane to deal with the problem.

Mei nodded, and the others, who had not raised any opinions in the first place, also nodded.

Roland's statement undoubtedly resonated the most with some of them.

After all, many of them are the type who are not afraid of sacrifice themselves, but do not want to sacrifice others. Kevin and Kosmo clearly feel that Roland's attitude towards problems is completely different from that of the top management of Fire Moth!

The Fire Moths might be more experienced, but they prefer a leader like Roland.

They all thought so, and Roland glanced at Ying out of the corner of his eye, and just like that, he finalized the matter.

After that, following the parliament's decision, Anti-Entropy took action again, and the news about the new Great Collapse soon sparked heated discussions around the world.

Just as Mei said, this kind of thing did cause great turmoil and panic.

But because it was arranged early, and Wilvi also recorded Roland's appearance in the meeting and posted it online, many people who saw Roland's attitude felt that Anti-Entropy was posing for the photo, but when they saw the work attitude of the Anti-Entropy members around them, they silently cooperated.

After all, even if the video is staged and fake, Anti-Entropy's attitude truly confirms Roland's words - Anti-Entropy 0.8 is with them!

On the one hand, the work of appeasing the people was one thing, and on the other hand, Velvet, together with Mei, Einstein and Mobius, completed a brand new device after the plan began - that is, through many things to determine whose device the Herrscher would most likely be after the Honkai energy was gathered.

After the device was completed, investigations were immediately launched in both areas.

First, the area outside the Anti-Entropy headquarters.

There is more than one target found in this area, but the one most likely to be the Herrscher is a nun named Carmen.

Meanwhile, at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Sakura led the Undead Squad members in their ongoing investigations. In the end, she unexpectedly discovered that she had actually investigated her own sister, and using the device, she discovered that Suzu was the only target of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters so far, and naturally the one most likely to become the Herrscher.

At that moment, Sakura thought a lot...

However, she thought of the Herrschers like Seele, Himiko, and Destobia in the Anti-Entropy team, and she also thought of Roland's humane decision and attitude at the last meeting.

In the end, Sakura chose to believe Roland!

So she took the bell and went to Roland to explain the problem!

....

137. Roland: Sakura, please trust me a little more

"Roland... Ling is like this, what should I do..."

After sending Ling into the Sea of ​​Life and letting Mebius check her condition, Sakura, who had been held up, seemed to collapse in one breath. She slumped in the chair and looked at Roland with a very fragile look in her eyes.

律者

Although Anti-Entropy even has a Herrscher team of only a few members due to the Sea of ​​Life, it is still difficult for the Honkai World to accept the fact that their relatives want to become Herrschers.

Especially the fact that the Herrscher of the Stone died directly before was a great stimulus to Sakura now.

She didn't want to attend Ling's funeral one day...

Although in the heroic stories she showed Ling, many heroes were able to make great sacrifices for the world, sacrificing themselves, their friends, their lovers, and their relatives... but Sakura doesn't think of herself as a hero, and doesn't want to be one. As long as Ling can survive, she is willing to do anything!

In her eyes, Ling is more important than the world!

"don’t worry."

When Roland saw Ying's fragile look, he knew what she was thinking, so he started to comfort her.

"Things are not as irreversible as you think... Ying, don't forget what I told you before. The core of our anti-entropy is not some fusion warrior technology, nor is it some black technology equipment. It is the real mystery and the group of gods centered around me."

"Our resources have never been limited to one world, and our vision has never been limited to one world. Therefore... our path is destined not to be easily cut off by some disaster in one world."

"I once told Alicia that only the members of the God Group are my true companions."

"Although there are many other factors for your joining, the moment you joined the group of gods, I regarded you as my companions. There are 37 of us now. Su will join us later, and Ling may also join us. Including them, there will only be 39 people."

"Perhaps for the general public, a few dozen people is already a large group, but for us who have no lifespan limit or world limit, a few dozen people are really a very small part of the infinite lifespan."

"It is precisely because it is so small that it is worth cherishing."

"I have a feeling that the day when I truly have control over everything is not far away."

“Once I have truly mastered everything, the number of members of the God Group will no longer increase at will, and may even solidify at that moment. That day will be the day when the God Group is truly established, and the day when we step onto the stage.”

“I hope every member can see that day and share the joy with me.”

"So I won't allow anyone to leave early... even if Ling is not a member of the group of gods yet."

After hearing what Roland said, Sakura, who had been extremely shaken by Ling's matter, gradually calmed down, and Roland continued to speak.

"Don't worry, Ying. Becoming a Herrscher may not be a bad thing for Ling. After all, there are still qualifications for joining the God Group. Many members of Anti-Entropy cannot join because of this restriction. Even Su is the same now."

"This limit may not be that high for us, but for many people it may be something they cannot cross in their lifetime."

"And if Ling becomes a complete Herrscher, then she will be just like Seele and will be directly qualified to join the group of gods."

"But I won't force it. If it really doesn't work, I will pull Ling into another world to cut off the connection between her Herrscher Core and the Cocoon of the End, then take out the Herrscher Core, and let Tiamat heal her."

"So she'll be fine no matter what, don't worry."

What Roland said at the end was also the ultimate resort.

After all, if Ling is suppressed in this way, she will no longer be the Herrscher of Corrosion after she is rescued.

Because the other world will completely eliminate all the rules related to Honkai, the moment the Herrscher core is removed, even if Ling has become a complete Herrscher, her body will be suppressed back to its original state.

After she is rescued, she will only be Suzu as a human, not Suzu as the Herrscher of Corrosion.

And after being suppressed like this, because it was the other world that pressed Ling back into human form, and there was no concept of Honkai resistance in the other world, Ling's Honkai resistance would be reset to zero the moment she became an ordinary human.

As she is now, she can no longer become a Herrscher or use the Honkai energy system to strengthen herself.

At that time, given Ling's qualifications, Roland would probably have no choice but to make her Sakura's servant.

But the problem nowadays is not that serious yet.

"Ying, I'm really happy that you came to me as soon as you encountered a problem. I enjoy the feeling of being trusted, so I won't let you down. So please trust me a little more, okay?"

Sakura looked into Roland's eyes, and after a long moment she nodded.

"...Um!"

After comforting Sakura, she stayed outside the Sea of ​​Life waiting for Ling to come out of the Sea of ​​Life, while Roland returned to his office and assembled the Herrscher team.

The captain of the Herrscher team is Alicia.

The members are Seele, Himiko and Desdobia.

It's just that Alyssia usually has a lot of things to do because Roland intended to let her take over. Himiko became the chief instructor of Anti-Entropy. Especially after the core of the Thousand Herrscher was obtained, Roland asked Tiamat to use the nascent Sea of ​​Life to make a new core, and selected the most elite 1,000 people from the Anti-Entropy fusion warrior force to make them the new Thousand Herrscher.

Although all members of this team are servants of Alicia, the job of teaching them naturally falls to Himiko.

So Himiko is actually busier than Alicia.

So even if there is a mission assigned to the Herrscher team, it is Seele and Desdobia who carry it out together.

But this time Roland called all four of them over and gave them a task.

"Let us contact Sister Carmen, who may become a Herrscher in the next Great Collapse... Do you want us to eliminate the threat in advance?"

Desdobia asked Roland this question after reading the task, and Roland shook his head slightly.

"I have arranged you to be in this position because I want you to deal with the impact of the Great Collapse if it breaks out. But as for Sister Carmen, I think you can talk to her."

"After all, when I saw Desdobia during the Eighth Collapse, I understood that if the difference between the Seventh Collapse and the previous six was the qualitative change in the scale of power, then starting from the Eighth Collapse, the Herrschers that emerged were no longer those who were only instinctive, unconscious, or crazy enough to be unable to control themselves."

"After becoming a Herrscher, Desdobia was still focused on clearing out the top leaders of the Fire Moth. Although the Herrschers of the Thousand were special, the Herrscher of the Rock clearly had his own ideas."

"It's just that after becoming a Herrscher, one's thoughts tend to develop in the most extreme direction."

"So after the last Herrscher of the Stone was completely wiped out, I actually thought about this matter. Even if the Herrscher of the Stone was not killed at that time, could we really revive him easily?"

"We don't know anything about him, do we?"

"And this time I need you to get to know Sister Carmen. Since she is the most likely person to become a Herrscher in that area, there must be some reason behind this."

"I need you to understand the reason behind this, and then determine whether you can save her after defeating her."

"In other words, I need you to judge whether she is qualified to join your team in the future."

After hearing what Roland said, Alicia and the others became serious.

It is really most appropriate to entrust this matter to them.

So they no longer had any questions and after agreeing directly, they set out to find Sister Carmen.

Roland watched them leave and then let out a long sigh.

"Sister Carmen...if nothing unexpected happens, she should be one of the creators of the tragedy of restraint in the original development."

"At that time, she should release the Divine Grace Barrier that covers the surroundings. If her main targets are Alicia and the others, then she should use the Divine Grace Barrier to suppress the Herrscher after she becomes a Herrscher."

"With Alicia here, even if the Divine Grace barrier is like this, there won't be any big problems."

"And the Divine Grace Barrier will restrain the Herrscher, so after the Great Collapse, Ling's problem can also be solved."

Roland made a detailed plan for this final great collapse, and then he stood up.

"After this great collapse is over, the Herrscher of the End will also appear."

"If that's the case, then I should start preparing the final plan."

....

138. Divine Grace Barrier

Not long after Alicia and the others went to see Sister Carmen, information about Carmen appeared in front of Roland.

Unlike the generally miserable feeling of Herrscher, Carmen's sunshine can be shown in the intelligence with just words, and it even allows Roland to imagine the image of a nun who will give you a gentle smile, is knowledgeable, and kind to others.

Even in the reports of Desdobia and Xier, they both felt that they might have found the wrong person this time.

They simply didn't believe that Carmen like this could become a Herrscher.

Even Himiko was a little unsure whether Carmen would become a Herrscher.
