Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

In Himiko's report, she clearly recorded that Carmen was a person with her own ideas and persistence. She wanted to make the world a better place and was working hard for it. And because of her personal abilities, she had no record of suffering major setbacks. Her life could be described as smooth sailing.

Alicia's report was more concise.

She knew very well that everyone else would say what needed to be said during the report, so she just said a few simple words and added that Carmen was not lying, which basically confirmed what Seele and Desdobia had said - that Carmen was unlikely to become a Herrscher.

But after seeing this report, Roland shook his head slightly.

"Alicea is still a little immature... But this is due to her experience. Although her emotional intelligence is not low, sometimes no one can explain human nature."

When Roland saw the report and knew that Carmen was the most likely person to become the Ruler of Constraint, he immediately thought of the key to the problem.

"If everything Carmen showed was a lie, or if she was not capable enough and had no perseverance...if any of these three points apply, then this time we might have found the wrong person."

"But it is precisely because she has none that she is more likely to become a Herrscher."

after all

“An idealist must be in heaven. Otherwise, once she leaves her ideal paradise, everything else will be a hell to her in varying degrees.”

"If you don't realize this, you are just dreaming."

"You must not wake her at this time."

"Because once she wakes up, she's already in the hell called reality."

"Sister, Mebius has been checking me lately. Am I sick?"

Ling asked quietly as she lay on Sakura's lap, while Sakura gently stroked Ling's hair, soothing her gently.

"No, even the leader said so. He said that this might not be a bad thing for Ling. Ling really likes the heroes in the stories. After this incident, Ling might become a hero."

"So that's how it is~!"

Ling believed Sakura's words very much, so the frustration on her face quickly disappeared and was replaced by a happy smile.

When Ling was dejected before, Sakura could easily comfort her, but after seeing this smile, Sakura's hands that were smoothing Ling's hair froze a little.

She would keep Ling's smile, no matter what the cost.

But Roland asked her to choose to believe, so Sakura has not done anything extreme so far.

This is also thanks to the fact that this is anti-entropy.

Thanks to Roland.

Otherwise, if there were fire moths here, then if Sakura had a choice, she might have taken Ling and killed them long ago!

From the moment she discovered that Ling was the most likely person to become the Herrscher at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Ling did not suffer any severe mental shock. Although she may have realized something, her overall state was very positive.

The one who was truly shocked and was struggling was Sakura!

Sometimes Sakura even thought that if she continued like this, she might be the one to become the Herrscher in the end.

She is not afraid of that future, but wants it to be like that...

It would be great if I could become the Herrscher, then Ling would be safe.

That's what Sakura was thinking at the moment.

But before she could think of more things, Roland suddenly appeared next to her and Ling.

"Ying, Ling, let's go and check on Sister Carmen."

Hearing Roland say this, Ling nodded directly, while Ying frowned visibly.

"Yes, we should take Ling with us..."

Hearing her say this, Roland smiled and nodded to her.

"Yes, take Ling with you - because if the Great Collapse breaks out, I will need the power of the Herrscher to easily solve the problem with Ling. Don't worry, there will be no danger."

Sakura was still wavering before, but after seeing Roland and hearing his voice, Sakura found that she felt more at ease than she thought.

So she was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

"Ah."

...

Roland and Sakura were talking about what would happen if the Great Collapse broke out, but in fact, when he brought Sakura and Ling to the place, the Great Collapse broke out immediately - just as if the time had been calculated.

Ling's life characteristics changed directly.

From the original human being, he turned into the virus-like state of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

However, at the same time as her transformation, the Divine Grace Barrier of the Ruler of Constraint also erupted!

As soon as this extremely large divine grace barrier appeared, it covered Roland, Ling and Ying, and then the fusion warriors and Herrschers within the range of the barrier were clearly targeted.

Ying immediately felt her body go limp, and a feeling of powerlessness spread throughout her body.

After Ling's life characteristics changed, the targeting she received became even more severe - all the virus-like characteristics disappeared, making it seem as if Ling had not changed from the beginning.

Roland spread his hands at this moment.

The power of Lingna, the Herrscher of Corrosion, was suppressed by the Divine Grace Barrier, so Roland seized the opportunity and attacked the core of the Herrscher of Corrosion at this moment!

As Roland spread out his hands, dark red particles flew out from Ling's body and gradually gathered in Roland's hands, eventually forming the core of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

After getting the core, Roland squeezed it casually, and then the core disappeared in his hand - as if it had been absorbed by him.

After doing all this, Roland opened a space passage leading to the Sea of ​​Life.

"Ying, I have already taken out the Herrscher core from Ling's body. Both she and you are a little weak now. You should go back to the Sea of ​​Life. Tiamat will solve Ling's problem, and you can rest assured."

Hearing Roland say this, Sakura was visibly relieved.

But then she asked the second question.

"Roland, the Great Collapse has already broken out, right? What are you going to do?"

Hearing Sakura ask this, Roland smiled.

"Although it may still be a little confusing for you, this is actually the last Honkai before the end, so my preparations are all complete, and there is no need for me to continue hiding anything to prevent accidents. Okay, ask Tiamat for more things when you go back, and she will tell you. Ling's Herrscher core has been extracted, and she needs treatment and a new core. You should take her away first."

"...Well, be careful."

After saying this, Ying supported Ling and walked into the Sea of ​​Life, while Roland closed the space channel and looked into the distance.

That direction is the church where Sister Carmen is, and it is also the core of the Divine Grace barrier.

Alicia and the others were all there, and Roland also felt that Alicia's power was bursting against the Divine Grace Barrier.

So he took a step in that direction, and then his body disappeared from the spot with a distortion as if the signal was bad, leaving only this sound lingering there.

"Alisa and the others have completed their mission very well, so leave the rest to me."

.....big..

139. Not everyone can be a partner of justice

Pink, glowing crystals rose from the earth, a flame-like light burning in the air, and the intense heat blew everything in the form of wind.

The previous church had long been reduced to ruins under this force.

At that time, the radiant cross, which was even larger than the cross originally placed inside the church as a symbol, was now hanging upside down in the air!

With this as the core, a huge divine grace barrier spread out, causing all the Honkai energy within it to be drastically suppressed!

Seele and Destobia were suppressed at the moment and had no strength to fight. Himiko, on the other hand, was holding a huge sword next to Alicia - but the flame on her body was not as active as before, and it seemed that it could go out at any time.

And in the air in front of them, Carmen, dressed in nun's clothes, was floating there.

She had long since discarded her nun's headscarf, letting her light blonde hair flutter in the wind and waves.

Her eyes have turned into the eyes of a Herrscher, but the expression on her face has not changed at all. She is still so gentle, and even has a hint of a smile.

"As expected, the biggest variable is you, Alicia."

"But before it really started, I actually still had a glimmer of hope, because I felt that you were the same as me, and I thought you could understand me, but now it seems that you have disappointed me."

Hearing Carmen's words, Alicia held her bow. When she looked at Carmen who had transformed into a Herrscher, her eyes were still gentle, and her expression still did not show any disgust towards Carmen.

It was as if it was just yesterday that they were still chatting among friends.

"If you want to talk about disappointment, isn't it me who is disappointed?"

"Carmen... you trust me, and I trust you too - but I didn't expect you to go down this path, and I didn't expect that the first person you would attack would be us. This is really sad."

Hearing what Alicia 320 said, Carmen flew down a little.

As she got closer, the restraining force of the divine grace barrier became stronger and stronger. This time even Himiko was forced to half-kneel on the ground, barely supporting her body with the greatsword in her hand. Only Alicia remained the same as before.

She herself was fine, but the flames burning in the air were extinguished at this moment, and the crystals growing on the earth that solidified the ruins of the church were shattered along with the remains of the church.

The dust they turned into was like a shining snow.

Alicia and Carmen looked at each other in the broken snow. It seemed as if nothing had changed, but just like the scattered snow, something seemed to have disappeared between them.

Carmen no longer had any interest in talking to Alicia.

Because she had already gotten the answer from Alicia—they were destined not to be the same kind of people.

People who are familiar with Alicia will also know that Alicia is extremely serious at this moment.

Because she had already gotten the answer from Carmen - the other party had already gone far away on another path.

They may take action at any time.

But just before they took action, a space crack was torn open, and Roland's figure appeared next to Alicia.

"Alright, Alicia, take them away from here. Your mission is just to investigate. You have already completed a high degree of the mission. Fighting is not your mission, so leave the rest to me."

After seeing Roland, Carmen subconsciously wanted to take action.

But before she could do anything, she found that she seemed to be held down by something!

She couldn't move at all - she wasn't even allowed to speak! Alicia wasn't surprised by this, she just breathed a sigh of relief.

"You came just in time, otherwise we would be in danger."

"Stop lying... Even if I didn't come, you would have a way to deal with her, right? Even if I came a little later, you would have killed her."

"Oh, it seems you know my little secret~"

Alicia did not deny it, but while saying this, she picked up the other three people.

Xier, Destobia and Himiko also knew that they could not be of any help to Carmen, so they did not resist.

After pushing the three of them into the space crack, Alicia stopped with her back to Roland.

"Roland...thank you very much."

"Although I can handle this matter, I really don't want to fight with her if I can help it."

After leaving these words, Alicia did not wait for Roland's reply and went straight into the space crack and left.

Roland sighed helplessly as he closed the space crack.

"After all, you are one of us..."

He muttered this, and after the space crack was completely closed, he looked forward.

Gravity was like an invisible hand under his control. As his gaze moved, it pulled Carmen down from mid-air and brought her in front of him.

"...Although you probably planned to let Alicia kill you after confirming her strength, I'm sorry, I can't let you freely choose how you die. After all, to me, you are just an enemy now, and Alicia is a companion. I don't want to see my companion sad."

As Roland said this, he also loosened some of his control over Carmen, allowing her to at least speak.

Carmen was a little surprised when she heard Roland say this.

"You must be the one who asked them to investigate me... I'm really surprised that they are right beside me, but they don't know much about my situation. Even Alicia seems to be on a different path from me - and you seem to have seen through me just by the information they reported back."

“It’s not that difficult.”

Roland spread his hands.

Since she was the last piece of Herrscher's power that Roland wanted to collect, he didn't mind chatting with her.

“They just don’t see it often.”

"And for me, you are not the first person I have seen who has his own persistence and strong personal abilities, but is still running towards an almost impossible dream."

“Even those who think they can stand up for justice and become partners of justice will gradually realize when they grow up that there are some things and some dreams that only children can have.”

"When a child grows up, such a dream will become the price of growing up and be shattered."
