Chapter 289: "Mei became MEI."

When Elysia came to help, the scales on the battlefield had already tilted to one side.

Maria teams up with Elysia to fight Ryoma. Enveloped by holy light and blooming crystal flower arrows, the Herrscher of Thunder instantly fell very easily.

Raiden Ryoma, is dead.

Thea teaches Maria that the Herrscher in this era is different from the Herrscher in her era. Even though she already knew the reason, Maria still sighed at how cruel Herrscher's fate was in this era.

"Elysia, thank you for helping me. If it weren't for you, I'm still not sure I could protect the convoy team safely."

"Don't be shy, sister Maria~ Rather than that, I'm more interested in what just happened. When did sister Maria become that strong~?"

Elysia walked around Maria, and her eyes, which were bright like stars, shone even more with burning curiosity.

What is Elysia's goal for her trip around the world?

Apart from getting to know lots of people and getting to know the world itself, Elysia has another goal, namely to find someone who is just as [special] as herself.

She thought Herrscher had the same familiar familiarity as her, but what she didn't expect was that she found someone else who was also special, hiding nearby.

Where did this distant relative appear from?

"Aren't you the same? Elysia, power like that is impossible for a child like you to have. What are you trying to hide from me?"

"Ahaha... don't be too serious, sister Maria~ After all, a beautiful girl always has some secrets, right?"

Elysia looked quite embarrassed.

"But if sister Maria wants to know, I don't mind sharing my secret~ do you want to get to know me more~?"

Maria brushed aside Elysia's face which was very close. Over the years of their acquaintance, Maria already knew how Elysia's urine was made.

Maria decided to change the topic.

"This is not a suitable place to chat. Even though Herrscher has been defeated, the honkai energy still exists which is very dangerous for ordinary people. I have to escort these researchers until they are out of the danger zone."

Checking the surviving valkyries, and transporting the valkyries who no longer have the mobility to move. Maria reorganized, and the convoy team resumed walking while clearing the Honkai beasts blocking the road.

Elysia also decided to join the team.

However, when she passed one of the cars in the middle, a hand stretched out from the car window, and this surprised Elysia.

Mobius, who was holding Elysia's hand, looked at the pink-haired girl with a gaze full of fascination.

It wouldn't be wrong to say she was currently panting.

"Beautiful pink-haired sister, have you ever felt uncomfortable in your body? How about I help you prescribe medicine? Come to my laboratory tonight! It's free!"

Elysia: "...."

Who are you trying to trick?

Elysia smiled gently and said: "Wow, am I being praised by another beautiful girl? My name is Elysia, nice to meet Doctor Mobius!"

".... How do you know my name?"

Elysia stared at the name tag on Mobius' jacket, and pretended to be stupid: "Of course because doctor Mobius herself is very famous! The honkai inhibitor serum you developed has saved the lives of many people, how could I not know the name of a hero like you?"

"Oh, your mouth is quite sweet, I like it."

Mobius smiled arrogantly.

There is no one who doesn't like compliments. Even though Mobius was obsessed with immortality, hearing good praise was always good for her ears.

Yssring who was in the car, and looking at the two old foxes who were starting to attack each other with their persuasion, and talking happily like old acquaintances, could only helplessly roll her eyes.

They really got along quickly.

Several hours later, the temporary crisis in Changkong City was finally resolved.

The source of the Honkai was successfully removed, and most of the population in Changkong City was also successfully evacuated.

MOTHs who join the party, instead of making a profit, they actually make a loss from this event.

It's not just about the issue of refugee settlement.

The elite soldiers, who were fully armed with Mecha, accidentally encountered a Judgment class snake monster, the Herrscher familiar, and these soldiers were immediately wiped out.

Elysia and Maria must be willing or unwilling to plunge back into Changkong city, and kill these Judgment-class beast to restore the peace of the world.

As a result, the power of the two of them which exceeded human limits was exposed to the higher-ups in the MOTH organization.

Even though they created a fuss like accusations of illegal experiments or human rights customers and such, Thea didn't really mind small things like this.

She already had a backup plan.

Mobius' research, which succeeded in creating the first fusion soldier, would answer all unnecessary problems.

But, if they still insisted on taking this to war, then Thea would serve them all.

Only weak people describe the world around them, while strong people make the world around them according to their will.

This was just child's play to Thea.

Compared to that, Thea, who had been absent for a long time, had something important she had to do personally.

"Have you now decided to join my company?"

Mei who saw the [truth] documents regarding everything that happened in Changkong city, sighed tiredly even though her face currently had a very cold expression.

When she heard her father was dead and in the documents it was recorded that her father had turned into a Herrscher, and what MOTH had done to her family's assets, Mei's soft heart slowly began to harden like a stone.

"Can I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, this all depends on you. Mei, your talent here is absolutely indispensable for exploring the truth about this world. As long as you help me, I also don't mind helping you as much as possible, or if you want revenge. You know me better after we've been friends for so many years."

Mei closed her eyes.

"Can you give me some time to rest for a bit? I need to think about this carefully."

"No problem, I have a lot of patience when dealing with a friend. Especially if that person won't refuse my offer."

Seeing Thea's confident smile, and saying goodbye to her. When Mei was going back to her dorm, she met Kevin and Su downstairs.

They both looked at her with worried eyes.

"Mei, what do you want to do next? How about coming back with me, I have a family of doctors, I guarantee I will help you both as much as possible."

Su provides a helping hand.

After hearing that Mei's entire family was wiped out due to the Honkai Impact disaster, they both became very worried about Mei's mental condition.

Even though Kevin was also numb and his world was destroyed after finding out that even his parents were dead, his endurance was still quite high.

At least he didn't go crazy and follow some heretical doomsday cult out there.

"I also do not know."

This time Mei showed a fragile expression. Honestly, she was currently on the verge of breaking down.

Heaven and hell are just like turning the dinner table.

Mei, who yesterday said she would pass the exam with the highest score to her parents, is now an orphan.

"I will go wherever Mei want to go. I won't let you be sad anymore, I will always protect you."

The sincerity that radiated in Kevin's eyes moved Mei's heart.

Closing her stinging eyes, Mei waved her hand to the two of them and said goodbye.

When she turned around, she had already made a decision.

"I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly, I thought I could get your answer tomorrow. So, what do you think?"

"Yes, I will join IPC."

Mei lowered her head politely, and her dead eyes gradually became cold, filled with rationality.

The emotional Mei is now dead.

In this broken world, random and useless emotions really weren't needed.

"Please show me, the truth about this world."

"Of course no problem."

Seeing that Mei was almost exactly the same as the highest leader of humanity, the smile on Thea's face widened slightly.

Mei eventually turned into MEI.

What a very happy evolution.
