I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"My Lord, it concerns Suzumo and is a routine report on our recent work."

　Gray Snake bowed respectfully.

　“Take your time. I have time this time. Although he trapped me in the sea, the pull from the Herrscher core has also provided a stable anchor for communication.”

　Looking outside the World Bubble at the labyrinth constructed by the Herrscher of Reason of this generation, Kevin spoke to the Grey Serpent expressionlessly.

　"Yes, Your Majesty. In the past month, we have mainly planned an operation to seize the Wind Law Core, attempting to obtain a Herrscher Core that can grant you your freedom..."

　As Gray Snake slowly narrated, the events from Jackal proposing the plan to encountering Suzumo in Oceania were clearly and concisely recounted, while Kevin's expression remained expressionless throughout.

　"I remember saying that you are not allowed to take action against Herrschers who have awakened self-awareness and are on the side of humanity, right?"

　After Gray Serpent finished speaking, Kevin was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Although the leader of Anti-Entropy can trap me for a while, his body can't hold out for that long. As soon as his seal loosens, I can take the opportunity to leave through his core... So, unless you are 100% sure that you can obtain the core without harming them, there's no need to do anything unnecessary."

　"Also, that jackal who proposed the plan... let her go and accept her punishment."

　"Lord..."

　Gray Snake's expression was hesitant: "This is the second thing I wanted to say."

　"The jackal is dead."

　"Oh, that's to be expected."

　Kevin responded indifferently, "Who killed him?"

　"It is Lord Möbius."

　"It's Suzumo...wait?"

　Kevin suddenly realized that the gray snake had just uttered a name that was completely unexpected.

　"Who?"

　"It is Lord Möbius."

　The gray snake repeated itself.

　"Is it related to Suzuma's Stigmata?"

　Kevin frowned slightly. After all, Mebius's reputation in the Heroes wasn't very good, and considering her feelings for Ellie... Now that she'd encountered a miniature Ellie, Kevin found it hard to imagine what she would do.

　"Probably not. I dare to guess that Suzumo may have left a mark that allowed Lord Mebius to stay there."

　"why?"

　Kevin realized he'd spoken out of turn as soon as he asked the question: "Oh, right, it's normal that she, like Ellie, would trust Mébius without hesitation..."

　"No, Your Majesty, the reason is not that complicated."

　The gray snake shook its head.

　"Because... Lord Mebius said that Suzuma is her daughter."

　"What?!"

　Chapter 154 Kevin: Holy crap, I have to sit up and watch this drama unfold.

　Seeing the obvious surprise on Kevin's usually icy face, Gray Serpent 1904 suddenly felt that all his previous suffering had been worthwhile.

　That's right, that's the expression! I want everyone to experience the feeling of their worldview collapsing!

　It has to be said that after meeting Mebius, this gray snake seemed to have gone quite mad.

　"What do you mean... Suzumo is Möbius's daughter?"

　Kevin repeated, "Did she recognize you? Or did she find Lingmo somewhere?"

　"Ahem, Your Majesty."

　Grey Serpent 1904 lowered his voice: "Although Lady Mebius did not explicitly state it, according to her, Suzuma... should be her biological daughter."

　The communication fell silent for a moment.

　Kevin sat silently under the cherry blossom tree, without saying a word.

　From Gray Serpent's perspective, perhaps this unfathomable lord is contemplating some scheme unknown to him, but if Su were here, he would probably see it at a glance...

　Some of Kevin's actions, though seemingly still deep in thought, actually occurred to him after a while.

　Kevin suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for Su. Such a huge piece of gossip, it would feel like life wasn't complete if he didn't share it with his best friend. But... Su had already sent him her last message a year ago.

　Ugh……

　Since the arrival of the new era, Kevin had not experienced such a strong emotional fluctuation in a long time. The last time he fell into such silence was when Gretchen was confirmed to be missing, and the time before that was when Mebius, who was supposed to have arrived in the new era, disappeared.

　and many more……

　Kevin suddenly discovered the blind spot.

　Regardless of whether the Mebius that Gray Snake saw was the real Mebius or a memory, judging from the time and circumstances alone, this matter might actually be true.

　First of all, Mebius really likes Ellie. Although she doesn't admit it herself, it's common knowledge that anyone can find out. Moreover, before the final ball, Ellie had already revealed her identity as a Herrscher to many people.

　If you were to say that Mebius would not preserve Ellie's biological samples and genetic information under such circumstances, even idiots like Danzhu and Cangxuan would not believe it. After all, the in vitro culture and reproduction technology of the previous civilization was already extremely advanced, and Kevin's own offspring were all conceived in this way.

　Secondly, despite how much Möbius loved Ellie, she didn't attend the banquet at the end of Ellie's life, and she didn't even come to collect her green crystal flower. Before, everyone thought it was just Möbius's classic tsundere attitude and stubbornness, but now it seems... could she have had other plans?

　Moreover, the Overseer project, which Sue himself was completely unaware of, and Mebius's sudden disappearance before the arrival of the new generation, both fully corroborate this conjecture.

　Finally, it is the most important point.

　Mebius, she's really capable of doing something like this!

　Klein is still in paradise!

　Kevin's pupils dilated instantly; he understood completely.

　Suzuma is most likely the child of Mebius and Ellie, just like the Kaslana family, which was bred using his and Mei's genes.

　However, he didn't care much about his own offspring, but he seemed to really raise Mébius as a daughter—as for the reason, it's not hard to guess, just look at Suzuma's appearance, which is like that of a little Alice.

　"Lord..."

　Gray Snake spoke up, seemingly because Kevin had been lost in thought for too long.

　"Well, I see."

　Kevin finally returned to his normal self.

　"Regarding Suzumo's background, when did she first appear?"

　"At the beginning of this century, during the second collapse."

　Grey Serpent immediately replied, "Most of the information about Suzumo has been sealed off by Schicksal with the highest level of security, but when I was cooperating with Cocolia before, I still managed to obtain some through Anti-Entropy's channels."

　"She first appeared in Siberia, and at that time Suzumo was completely amnesiac. As for her history before that, it is completely impossible to trace back."

　"...So you think she might have been born recently, or rather, that she was recently released by Möbius?"

　As a long-lived species that has lived for tens of thousands of years, Kevin's "recent" probably refers to the last ten years or so.

　"Yes."

　Grey Serpent nodded: "The fact that Lord Mebius values ​​her so highly also provides some evidence of this."

　“She values ​​it highly… What did she say?”

　"Lady Mebius said she doesn't care about Suzumo at all."

　"Oh, then you really care about it."

　Kevin nodded knowingly.

　"From my perspective... this is most likely true."

　"Then...should I record this in the history of the World Serpent Records and announce it to all members of the World Serpent?"

　Grey Serpent tentatively asked, "After all, if this is true, then after the Saint Mark Project is completed, Suzumo could become the next Lord under the title of World Serpent Saintess. Informing the members in advance would also help build her image..."

　"It's fine to write it into history, but let's skip the public announcement."

　Kevin shook his head: "Corresponding to the Stigmata Project, there is another project called the Fire Seed Project. According to the arrangements of the previous civilization, Hua should have been in charge of the Fire Seed Project, but now... I think we need to re-examine this project."

　“Mebius must have her reasons for bringing the completely ignorant Suzumo into the world at this time… Perhaps, just like there is a monitor program specifically targeting me, Project Fireseed also has a hidden executor?”

　"Not to mention her ability to make up for regrets and her primordial characteristics..."

　Kevin then fell silent for a moment.

　"Gray snake."

　"My subordinate is here."

　"Let's ensure Suzuma's safety as much as possible without affecting the execution of the Stigmata Project. Although she seems to have the same resurrection ability as Mebius, this ability usually comes at a hidden price."

　"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Even without your orders, there is a cadre in the World Serpent who has sworn to protect her safety."

　"Ah."

　Kevin nodded: "If she affects the Stigmata Project..."

　"Should we also retreat?"

　"I can't help but ask," Gray Snake asked tentatively.

　"If these are children trained by Mebius, then no one should understand the importance of the Stigmata Project better than her. She shouldn't try to stop you before the final leap arrives."

　Kevin paused for a moment, then said, "You can verify that yourself when you have the chance."

　"As for what happens after I return to my original world... leave all matters related to Suzuma to me."

　Chapter 155 Silver Wolf: Want to know about her life? Then let's play Honkai Impact 3 together.

　"Were all my predictions correct? Oh, that's normal."

　Inside the Black Tower space station, Black Tower, who was making various improvements to the simulated universe, paused slightly before saying matter-of-factly, "After all, it's my prediction."

　"Yes, Lord Black Tower is unparalleled in the world!"

　Lingmo immediately raised her hands.

　"Stop it."

　Hei Ta rested his chin on his hand, looking at the bouncing Ling Mo, and said with a headache, "More than that, I feel now that I might have chosen the wrong path for you back then."

　"You're getting more and more girls around you at the same rate, you're perfectly suited for a pure and beautiful life, especially since Idrila isn't here."

　"Please don't..."

　Lingmo shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want to be seen as a heretic by the Pure Beauty Knights. Even if I were to become Idrila, I wouldn't do it. Being idolized by a bunch of people... forget it..."

　"And...it wasn't that fast, was it?"

　"Don't worry, the Pure Knights won't burn you. At most, they'll seriously correct your mistakes and make you acknowledge Idrila's unparalleled beauty—those who can embark on the Pure Knights' path are generally good people. If you meet them, you can trust them in most cases."

　Black Tower first answered Suzumo's question about the Pure Knight, then chuckled and said, "Not very fast?"

　"Putting aside your situation here, in another world, you successfully wooed a Herrscher in just two months... By the way, are all the Herrschers in your world, except for Welt who was born before you, now on very good terms with you? Are you some kind of Herrscher specialist?"

　"Well, maybe it really is..."

　Lingmo guiltily looked away, mainly because she was still wearing Ai Li's stigmata, and it seemed she really couldn't refute the Herrscher special attack.

　"It's okay, at least it won't turn out like this here!"

　After thinking it over carefully, Suzumo realized that she hadn't been flirting with anyone in Belloberg's group. At most, Bronya was very grateful to her, and Clara was particularly adoring of her. So, Suzumo regained her confidence.

　"and……"

　Lingmo leaned against the table beside Heita, revealing a pair of bright pink eyes that blinked as she looked at Heita: "Why is Heita concerned about this?"

　"I didn't care. I was just afraid that one day when I wanted to do an experiment with you, I would find that you had been locked in the basement by some girl you had offended."

　Hei Ta snorted softly, ignoring Ling Mo's grinning expression.

　"Also, if you're really bored, you can help me with my simulated universe. Although you can't enter the simulated universe, it's still easy to assist with the management process from the outside. Since you came back this time, besides switching worlds and playing games at night, you've been hanging around here with me whenever you have free time during the day. I'm tired of it."

　"Well, I'd love to, but I'm really busy right now."

　Lingmo tilted her head: "Pam just messaged me saying that the Star Train is departing this afternoon and that I need to go back this morning for a meeting... I guess they're going to announce the location of the next stop?"

　"Oh, you're leaving so soon?"
