Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

After all, Roland usually maintains a calm demeanor regardless of the situation, as if everything in the world is within his consideration, so Roland rarely acts like this.

Roland only acts this way when facing Tiamat.

So even Ryougi Shiki enjoys it.

But after Roland noticed her expression, he gave her a heads-up.

"Given Tiamat's personality, if she's going to cook, and there are three of us, do you think she'll only cook for me and not for you?"

Ryougi Shiki's expression changed.

Then Roland and Ryougi Shiki exchanged a glance, temporarily truced themselves, and then headed towards the kitchen.

Putting everything else aside, let's start our life in this other world by stopping Tiamat from cooking!

In a sanatorium on Twilight Street, Aponia first comforted the patients, and then sighed softly after leaving their sight.

After all, no matter how sweet her words were in front of the patients, she couldn't change the fact that they were indeed terminally ill and beyond cure.

In this day and age, the Fire Moths still uphold the rules of blocking information and killing as many beings as possible that have contracted Honkai as possible.

Although a considerable number of people are aware of the concept of Honkai disease, even some medical institutions are not entirely clear about the specifics of this disease.

Not to mention Aponia, who is located in Twilight Street.

But she probably sensed it herself.

Taking these patients in might not be a good thing... but she herself didn't know where this bad feeling came from.

And she couldn't bring herself to kick the patient out...

In particular, a large proportion of these patients are children.

Thinking of this, Aponia's sigh became even heavier.

She looked like this. Qianjie, who was carrying goods and passing by, heard her sigh and turned his masked face towards her. After seeing Aponia, he pursed his lips unhappily.

But he didn't say anything.

The current Qianjie is far from the level he will reach in the future for Aponia. He only really started thinking about killing Aponia after Sakura's sister, Rin, died.

The current Thousand Calamities simply cannot stand Aponia's hypocrisy.

Deceiving these patients, giving them hope but failing to change their situation... In Qianjie's view, such behavior can hardly be called good.

Qianjie felt a surge of irritation, especially when he thought about how the children gathered here were also destined to die.

He hated this feeling.

When facing a powerful Herrscher, he can simply throw a punch and either blow the opponent to pieces or die in battle!

And this feeling of having nowhere to throw a punch is exactly what he hates most!

Thinking of this, Qianjie pursed his lips and continued moving the goods.

Padofelis, hiding in the shadows, watched all of this unfold.

As a thief who almost never makes a mistake in her work, Padofelis is not wealthy.

A significant part of the reason for this was that she anonymously used her spoils to purchase various supplies and then sent them to the sanatorium.

It can be said that the sanatorium's continued operation was due to Aponia's overt spiritual support, Thousand Calamities's more covert military support, and Padofelis's hidden economic support.

So Pado, who happened to witness this scene, scratched her head.

She seems eloquent and easy to get along with, but in reality, she is even less adept at handling such matters than Qianjie.

After all, Qianjie at least possessed power.

He possessed the immense power to tear apart a Herrscher even before becoming a Fusion Warrior.

Even after becoming a fusion warrior, Paddo was still weak and could do very little.

Just as she herself said, she was just a lucky mortal.

So, seeing this, Pado breathed a sigh of relief and stretched.

"We can't handle more complicated tasks, but providing a little more supplies so these little guys can eat better would be helpful."

Padofilis climbed over the wall and left the sanatorium. Then he found a map of Twilight Street that he had drawn himself and finally set his sights on a place he had known about before but had never dared to risk going there to work. It looked unremarkable on the outside, but in fact, judging from the interior decoration and the goods used to maintain the house, it was undoubtedly the richest house on Twilight Street.

"Okay, let's check this place out tonight!"

.....wide..

76. Tiamat is just that outrageous.

Roland put considerable effort into concealing the identity of his residence.

For example, on the surface, this house is not among the best in Twilight Street; it's just the most ordinary and inconspicuous one, and it happens to be right on the edge of the safest area.

However, Roland believed that there were many flaws in it.

For example, the interior of this house is characterized by its luxury, so if someone were to find out about the maintenance costs and cash flow, they would definitely suspect something was amiss.

Moreover, the downside of interior luxury is that if someone notices something amiss through certain details, they can immediately sense that something is wrong.

So Roland didn't rush to do anything during the day. He simply rotated his men and had Tiamat release Fu Hailin, whom she had suppressed and brought under her control during the previous battle against the Dead Apostles, to serve as a bodyguard.

They then set up multiple magical barriers that are basically undetectable in this technological world.

They also secretly established the Shadow Kingdom and dispatched other shadow monsters to the surrounding area for defense.

After all, Roland intended to build his own organization.

So, they might make this their base camp and stay in Twilight Street for quite some time, so this level of setup can only be considered basic.

After all the arrangements were completed, it was almost dark. Roland then called back Tiamat and Ryougi Shiki, who had gone to familiarize themselves with the surroundings, and began to make arrangements for the next objective.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be staying in Twilight Street for quite some time, so as I told you before, we'll have to deal with the Honkai disease problem no matter what."

"Honkai disease...can it cause a major collapse if too much of it accumulates?"

Ryougi Shiki asked a question, and Roland first nodded, then shook his head.

"That's one way to put it, but in reality, it can cause more problems than just that... For example, if a large-scale Honkai event is triggered elsewhere, causing the Honkai energy concentration in other areas to rise, then those infected with Honkai disease will be more easily eroded, either dying, becoming suicide soldiers, or generating Honkai beasts, thus expanding the impact of the Honkai."

"The Great Collapse is finite, and each one will give birth to a Herrscher, which is a huge disaster."

"However, the organizations that fight against Honkai usually deal with small and medium-sized Honkai, mostly with zombies and Honkai beasts... especially some of the Honkai beasts that are particularly difficult to deal with, each of which can cause huge destruction."

"Compared to the Great Collapse, this is actually the fundamental reason why we must deal with the Collapse Disease."

Hearing Roland say this, Ryougi Shiki nodded.

"So we're going to kill them like those fire-chasing moths you mentioned?"

Ryougi Shiki actually had an idea when she said that.

That is the concept of whether or not the Honkai disease can be killed directly.

She thought it should be feasible.

Because she had tried it under Roland's guidance, she was able to kill some concepts directly, and even memories and air could be killed. However, she had no idea about Roland's talk of killing the future. But since Roland said she could do it, then she should be able to do it.

If these things work, can the Honkai disease work?

Roland saw through her thoughts, so he shook his head slightly.

“We are different from the Moths of Fire. We don’t need to choose such a cruel method because we still have options. However, Shiki, you can try to kill the concept of Honkai, but don’t have too high expectations for now, because this is another world. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are eyes that understand death at its root, while our world has a different system.”

"So if things like that don't work, you'll have to wait a bit longer. There's a Herrscher core that's perfect for you, the core of the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, which I don't know if it's already been unleashed yet. We're different from the people in this world; we're not affected by the Honkai Will, and we're not corrupted by Honkai energy yet. So as long as you find the right way to use it, once you get that Herrscher core, you'll probably be able to fully utilize the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in this world."

Hearing Roland say this, Ryougi Shiki nodded.

Roland, however, looked at Tiamat.

"So Tiamat, I'll have to ask you for help with the Honkai disease—you must have met with Honkai disease patients when you went out before, right? So, can your Primal Power and the Sea of ​​Life work together to cure the Honkai disease?"

"can."

Tiamat nodded.

“I even feel that I can do more than that… The power of creation is the power that makes everything begin, the manifestation of the power to start growth, the power to create something from nothing—so if I combine it with my current Sea of ​​Life, I think if I could have some assassins to study, I might be able to turn them back into normal humans.”

Upon hearing Tiamat's words, Roland pondered for a moment.

"Hmm... It's enough to cure the Honkai disease for now. As for the assassins, don't worry. I plan to participate in the next Great Honkai, whether it's the sixth or the seventh one, so I can easily find both assassins and Honkai Beasts."

"Ah."

After Roland said that, Tiamat nodded and said nothing more.

Roland then continued with the arrangements.

"In short, Tiamat's ability to cure Honkai is a huge advantage for us. Although this world will probably have a cure for Honkai in the future, such a drug is too expensive to be mass-produced and put into use. It is completely incomparable to the power of Tiamat."

"And although this world uses Honkai energy, the Honkai possesses consciousness. While it seems like the three of us using Honkai energy wouldn't be a problem, and some of the world's powerful individuals can also use it, for most people, using Honkai energy, whether in the form of equipment or anything else, carries significant risks..."

"Moreover, at this stage, there are neither Stigmata nor Fusion Warriors in this world. All we have are equipment and some enhancement potions, plus individual talents... So the system we bring, such as Orichalcum equipment that does not require Honkai energy to activate, as well as Magical Discs, Mystic Codes, martial arts from the world of Akatsuki that can be tempered to the point of freely manipulating the body, and even Tiamat's use of the Sea of ​​Life and Authority to directly modify and enhance life... These are the core of what we have built up the organization."

"Especially Tiamat's Sea of ​​Life... If we can analyze the Honkai Beasts, then we can create the fusion warriors that require a lot of sacrifices to create on the Fire Moth side without any risk."

Roland even remembered that in FGO Chapter 7, Ushiwakamaru was thrown into the Sea of ​​Life, where he was not only corrupted, but the Sea of ​​Life also continuously produced corrupted Ushiwakamaru.

Tiamat is just that outrageous.
