Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"it is good."

With Ryougi Shiki's voice, she left.

Roland shook his head slightly and quickly finished his meal.

When Ryougi Shiki returned with Tiamat, he had already been sitting and resting for a while. He had even arranged everything through the God Group Communication, including his plan to open another world and leave for a period of time.

So when he saw the two of them coming over, he stood up.

"Alright, if you're ready, let's set off."

"I'm ready!"

After Tiamat condensed her divine essence, she returned to her original form, but at this moment she still seemed like a child as she approached.

She still had that blank look on her face, but if you got close to Roland, you could hear that her breathing had become noticeably faster, and she looked very happy.

Ryougi Shiki didn't react as strongly as she did.

However, when Tiamat came to Roland's side, Ryougi Shiki also appeared on Roland's other side.

Roland could tell from her actions that she was also looking forward to the other world.

That's how they were, while Roland opened up a new alternate world through the virtual realm at that moment.

The passageway remains the same.

Roland felt a certain power emerge from within him once again, giving him, Ryougi Shiki, and Tiamat identities in another world.

However, this time it seems to be more than that.

Besides their identities, Roland felt that this power had given them something else as well.

Then the three of them arrived in the other world.

Just like last time, with their arrival, the identities they were matched with immediately appeared in their minds.

Ryougi Shiki and Tiamat didn't feel anything after reading their identities, but Roland understood which world this was after reading the identity information.

They now live in a luxurious house, one that seems excessively extravagant.

Roland lay on the large bed in the room, Tiamat in his arms, while Ryougi Shiki stood to the side.

Ryougi Shiki was matched with Roland's bodyguard.

Tiamat was matched with Roland's lover.

Roland's assigned identity is—the hidden master of Twilight Street.

If you just take the name "Huanghun Street" out of context, it might not be so easy to recognize.

But in Roland's memory, besides Twilight Street, there were also the Moth of Fire, a young female merchant named Padofelis, Sister Aponia who worked in a sanatorium, and Thousand Calamities who worked as a helper in the sanatorium and always wore a mask.

In addition, his memory also includes world-renowned scientists like Möbius.

Furthermore, while reading these memories, Roland also learned what else the power within him had matched besides the identities of the three of them.

It's something unique to this world—Honkai energy adaptability!

Because these three people from another world do not belong to the Tree Sea system of the original Honkai world, and their identities were not given by the Imaginary Tree but matched by some authority of Roland, the Honkai energy cannot infect them at all.

Even the will of collapse cannot affect them.

However, this also prevents them from using Honkai energy in various ways to fight, just like other people with Honkai energy resistance.

Therefore, that authority matched them with Honkai energy adaptability.

This ensures that the three of them are neither corrupted by Honkai energy nor affected by the Honkai will, and that they can still use Honkai energy to fight.

With these prerequisites in place, Roland immediately understood where this world was.

—Isn't this a pre-collapse civilization?!

Moreover, judging from the changes in this world, at least the people infected with Honkai disease that Aponia adopted have not yet been discovered by Sakura who came to investigate Twilight Street. Otherwise, the sanatorium would have disappeared long ago because of the battle between Qianjie and Sakura, and Qianjie and Aponia should have been captured and taken to the Fire Moth.

Thinking of this, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

Even a pre-collapse civilization.

He came to this other world to create Lostbelts.

For a pre-Honkai civilization, defeating the Honkai would be considered a Lostbelt.

So Roland thought about it for a while, and then he had some ideas.

....

75. Collapse, the pre-civilization and Twilight Street

After confirming that this was a pre-collapse civilization, Roland sorted out the current timeline.

Qianjie arrived in Twilight Street after killing the Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Ice.

The Sixth Herrscher is the Herrscher of Death, and Roland doesn't know whether it has been unleashed yet, because he has no relevant information in his memory.

But the Seventh Herrscher definitely hasn't arrived yet.

Himiko, the Seventh Herrscher, burned down the entire continent of Australia, and the fire even affected Eden.

These two major events are impossible for him to forget.

So the current timeline is probably the sixth collapse period of the previous civilization.

As for when Sakura arrived in Twilight City with her mission, it must have been after the Seventh Honkai Impact—because it was during the Seventh Honkai Impact that the strength of the Herrschers increased dramatically, making it impossible for human technology to solve the problem, which is why the Fusion Warrior Project was officially approved.

So there's a long time, and a lot of things can be done.

In particular, Roland's current status is actually quite comfortable.

His identity on Twilight Street was that of the boss that Padofelis made up to prevent him from being bullied, but Padofelis herself didn't know that the boss she made up actually existed.

He also deliberately used his identity in the pre-collapse civilization to make his disguise perfect.

This gave Roland the reason and opportunity to come into contact with many people.

For example, Aponia, Thousand Calamities, Padofelis, and even Eden, Sue, and Velvet.

Joining the Fire Moth is impossible. Although Mei should have already joined forces with Sakura and seized some control of the Fire Moth at this time, the remaining insects are disgusting enough!

Especially since the Honkai intensity is not high at this stage, when Kevin fought the Sixth Herrscher, he was even holding a gun, and the special effects of the Sixth Herrscher being defeated looked like a missile explosion.

The higher-ups at Moth Chaser could never have imagined that the intensity of the Honkai would gradually increase to an absurd level.

Now, all they see are the benefits that will come from resisting the Great Collapse.

Roland had no intention of getting bogged down in a long argument with these guys.

Unlike Type-Moon, the end of this world is very near—if there's a major collapse every six months to a year, this world will be gone in no more than twenty years.

Therefore, if the pre-civilization wants to defeat the Honkai, there's no time to waste on these guys.

It would be simpler to build an organization from scratch and then slowly devour the moths drawn to the flame.

Roland understood all this, so while he was organizing, he also told Tiamat and Ryougi Shiki about the pre-Honkai civilization, and introduced them to the situation of this world.

"So pitiful..."

After listening, Tiamat said this in her soft, gentle voice.

Ryougi Shiki remained silent and offered no comment.

"Roland, we... um, what should we do?"

Tiamat spoke again, but she changed her mind halfway through what she had originally said.

Roland could guess that what Tiamat originally wanted to say was probably—let's save the world.

However, it's likely that Tiamat changed her mind because she was afraid of putting pressure on herself or causing trouble.

Seeing Tiamat like this, Roland laughed.

"Don't worry, if we want to maximize our gains in this other world, we need to transform our timeline into a Lostbelt. To do that, we have to make the world fall into a false prosperity."

"This era was destined to end in its original development, so we destroyed the Honkai in this era, which is the guide to the erroneous prosperity."

“We’re here to do this, so you don’t need to worry about anything.”

Upon hearing Roland's words, Tiamat's eyes visibly lit up.

Although her expression was still blank, Roland could tell she was very happy.

Tiamat acted like a child who had just received a toy, and then she skipped and hopped out of the room, leaving behind this message.

"Thank you, Roland. So, to thank you, I'll cook you a meal!"

"wait...!"

By the time Roland raised his hand, Tiamat had already vanished.

Because Tiamat and Ryougi Shiki also had memories matching their respective identities, Roland wasn't worried that Tiamat would get lost at home, but cooking...

hiss--

This was the first major crisis Roland encountered after arriving in the pre-collapse civilization!

Seeing Roland's changing expression, Ryougi Shiki also raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
