78. Treatment of Honkai Impact
After Roland explained the situation, Padofelis joined his side at his invitation.
However, it wasn't an invitation from the group, but rather an invitation from the organization.
Because people from pre-collapse civilizations, especially those from this time period, will face a similar situation to those from the world of Akame ga Kill! – insufficient potential.
Even compared to the world of Akame ga Kill!, there are still some here whose achievements and strength are insufficient.
Kevin is probably not good enough at this stage, let alone Paddo.
They mainly need to farm achievements in the Great Collapse, and only after obtaining Stigmata and becoming Fusion Warriors will they gradually meet the conditions to join the Gods.
Those who qualify to join the divine group at this stage
Roland estimated that Qianjie and Alicia were the most stable choices.
In terms of achievements, Qianjie single-handedly killed the Herrscher of Ice, Alicia led the fight against the Herrscher of the Void, and did many other things.
In terms of ability, there's no problem.
They are both capable in terms of potential.
Those other than that are still a bit lacking at this stage.
Kevin and Sakura are examples of those who can only meet the requirements after becoming fusion warriors.
Mebius was similar.
Möbius's achievements are more than enough; her scientific achievements are so formidable that there is nothing she lacks.
Her strength is probably just so-so... After all, after the incident with the Seventh Herrscher, Mebius hunted down the eyeball of the Third Herrscher's companion Honkai Beast all by herself, so she is definitely not just an ordinary researcher.
However, if one doesn't become a Fusion Warrior, then their potential is questionable.
Therefore, he plans to wait a little longer with these people, especially the members of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire.
But now that we've recruited Pado, we can go and see Qianjie.
With this in mind, after Pado agreed to join his side, Roland didn't care whether she had any ulterior motives. He simply arranged accommodation for her and then took her, Ryougi Shiki, and Tiamat out together at dawn.
He's going to check on the sanatorium.
We need to treat the Honkai disease and also invite Thousand Calamities and Aponia.
"Sister Shi, where are we going?"
Padofelis followed at the back of the group, then she moved closer to Ryougi Shiki and asked in a low voice with a fawning smile.
Seeing Padofelis like this, Ryougi Shiki raised an eyebrow but did not push her away.
After all, Ryougi Shiki's opinion of her has changed significantly since she first met Padofelis.
Because Roland asked Paddo yesterday why she came to steal from him, and Paddo's answer was, "Isn't stealing for money, just like how people in this line of work?"
Later, Roland tried to persuade her three times about this issue, and Pado's answer was always that it was for herself, for money, and for good food, without mentioning the sanatorium or the poor people on the twilight street.
They were afraid that Roland would take his anger out on those people.
This is why Ryougi Shiki had a different view of Patto.
Although she lacks strength and is slippery... she is not weak.
In some places, they can actually do things that are even stronger than some so-called strong people.
That lack of strength is, in fact, her badge of honor as a powerful person.
This explained why Roland had invited Padofelis.
So Ryougi Shiki heard Patto's question and told her about it.
"Let's go to a sanatorium."
Upon hearing Ryougi Shiki's words, Pato's expression visibly stiffened. Seeing this, Ryougi Shiki added a comment.
"Go save them."
Eh?
Padofelis had thought of many bad things before, but when she heard Ryougi Shiki say that she was going to save people, she was a little stunned.
Padoflis no longer doubted that Ryougi Shiki would deceive her.
Although it had only been one night, the rather tactful Padfolis had already learned a fair bit about Tiamat and Ryougi Shiki, but she couldn't quite understand Roland.
Ryougi Shiki is definitely not a good liar, and Tiamat feels that she is incapable of lying at all, just like a little child.
Since Ryougi Shiki has said so, it must be true.
Padofelis thought a lot, but just as she was about to ask something more, she noticed that Roland, who was walking in front, suddenly sped up.
Roland sped up, and Ryougi Shiki followed suit. Tiamat, while accelerating, pulled Paddo along and used her strength to drag her to prevent her from falling behind.
This forced Pado to keep her question to herself.
However, Pado is very familiar with Twilight Street.
So when she looked around while accelerating, she knew that Roland and the others' destination should be the sanatorium that would take in those children and poor patients.
Thinking of this, she sighed inwardly.
Hopefully it won't be anything bad.
In the courtyard of the sanatorium.
Aponia stood behind Thousand Calamity, watching the patient in the distance who was constantly screaming in agony.
The others had already been driven away by the Thousand Calamities, but only that guy who was screaming in agony... was beyond saving.
The unique corrosive marks that appear on her body after contracting Honkai disease have already covered half of her body. This pain makes her scream, and if she dies next, then she is dead.
If they don't die, they'll turn into one of those monsters with white hair...
And Qianjie was on guard.
If the other party turns into a monster, he will eliminate them immediately!
This wasn't the first time Qianjie had done something like this.
This isn't the first time I've seen Aponia.
But every time I saw it, Aponia couldn't accept it.
What happened to this world?
It not only unleashed incurable diseases to torment the world, but also prevented people from finding peace even in death...
Wearing a nun's habit, Aponia held her hands together and prayed to God for the 3285th time about this matter.
She remembered the content of each of her prayers, and the patients who died during those prayers.
But miracles never occurred.
Perhaps it's because I wasn't devout enough...
Aponia thought to herself.
After all, she already knew before she even started praying that the other person was probably beyond saving.
She was just making a last-ditch effort.
To use Qianjie's words, this is nothing more than her hypocrisy.
But just as Aponia was thinking this, several people suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard.
"Hey, you guys!"
Qianjie frowned and was about to send them away.
But before he could even utter the words to shoo them away, he discovered that those people had arrived beside him in such a short time!
These guys... are no ordinary people!
Qian Jie thought to himself, while Roland spoke to him.
"Don't be nervous, we're here to rescue people."
As Roland said this, Tiamat had already walked to the patient who was wailing.
The Honkai has already begun to erode two-thirds of her body.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qianjie and Aponia were about to bring Tiamat back, but what happened next truly astonished them.
Because Tiamat unleashed the power of creation.
An incomparably warm and dazzling radiance emanated from her.
It was a radiance that defied description.
If I had to put it into words... if miracles were to materialize, then this is probably what they would look like.
Then, in this radiance, all the erosion on the Honkai disease patient's body faded away, leaving nothing behind.
She was no longer in pain, no longer wailing. Death had left her, and she had fallen into a deep sleep from the torment she had endured. But in the moment she fell asleep, there was no pain on her face, only a faint smile.
"This... inside"
Aponia went to the patient's side, examined her, and found that all the erosion marks left on her body by Honkai disease were gone.
