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.
Mei joined the IPC company, but that doesn't mean they got a leading scientist. Mei is currently 18 years old.
This talent needs to be cultivated.
Thea assigned Yssring to guide Mei to the door to the truth about honkai step by step without needing to influence her cognition.
Meanwhile, when Mei joined the IPC company, Elysia, Kevin, Su, and Hua also joined the company at the same time.
Kevin joins because he wants to protect Mei, Su joins because his family forced him to act as a spy, and Hua joins because she doesn't know what else to do.
Hua's fate was quite tragic because she was dragged into this incident by [accident.]
Her intention to go to Changkong city was to treat her father who was seriously ill, but Changkong city suddenly disappeared along with her father.
As an only child, Hua couldn't even inherit her father's Dojo because she herself was a woman, and she had no reputation in the martial arts circle. As a result, her family's Dojo could only be closed.
Hua had lost everything so suddenly.
If it wasn't for Maria who passed by and recognized her as Fu Hua, their mentor in Schicksal, and after that took care of her carefully, perhaps Hua would be autistic by now and would have committed suicide.
As for Elysia, this person joined IPC because she had several considerations of her own. Whether it's because of the affection that has been cultivated over the years, or maybe because of the many Herrscher corpses that IPC has collected.
However, without realizing it, the IPC had now gathered most of the Flame-Chasers members.
Collection cards are getting more complete.

Four months later, while the world was still mourning the disappearance of their central city, the Herrscher of Wind finally arrived.
Terrifying storms gathered around the Pacific region, and dozens of tornadoes roared across both the sky and the ground, clearing away everything in their path.
Islands throughout the Asia Pacific are starting to sink one by one, and the country, famous for its thousand islands, has also disappeared from the world map.
This was the first time a Herrscher had massacred an entire country.
All the higher ups in MOTH shuddered in horror at the power displayed by Herrscher.
This was like the anger of the gods.
When disaster arrives, all of humanity's sins will be cleansed.
"Have you heard the news? Of the three hundred elite soldiers who entered the storm zone, not a single person came out safely. The abnormally low pressure makes it difficult for people to breathe in there."
At the IPC's new headquarters, Mu continent, Su, who had just received the news from his family, felt a little uncomfortable.
Kevin wiped his sweat: "If they have difficulty breathing, why don't they just use an oxygen cylinder? There's no way it can't be carried, right?"
Su was also helpless: "That's why I called this abnormal. All the gas in the canister exploded, and even some soldiers were also found to have exploded in their Mecha suits suddenly."
"It's like an explosion in a vacuum pressure chamber."
While they chatted about topics surrounding Herrscher, both Kevin and Su continued to exercise to improve their physical fitness.
Not far from there, there were several young men and women doing the same activity. Also included is Hua.
Honkai may be a disaster for human civilization, but it is also an opportunity for humanity to evolve.
Backed by the world's most advanced renowned IPC medicines and medical treatments, a group of bodyguards is being cultivated by the company currently.
Kevin entered the security department unit because it was a perfect fit for him. Kevin discovered that his honkai adaptation was very high.
As for Su, he enters the biomedical department unit, and uses his free time to meet his best friend Kevin.
"No one knows more about Herrscher than our company. Everyone knows that this company killed three Herrscher before MOTH made its move. Do you think that when the situation in Asia gets worse, captain Maria will be sent there?"
Su shook his head: "No, that's absolutely impossible. Even though they admit that IPC company has the Herrscher killer, they won't lower their heads until the apocalypse arrives. They still have [it] after all."
Kevin was confused: "What do you mean by It? A weapon that can kill Herrscher who has destroyed a country, does that thing really exist?"
Su nodded: "Yes, Nuclear bomb."
True, just as Su said, humanity was by no means helpless against herrschers. They still have more terrifying things than this alien messenger.
The stupidest thing the Herrscher of Wind did was massacre the entire country she occupied. Now the military has no worries, and they can use weapons of mass destruction without worrying about political criticism.
In the next few days, Thea received a new report from the company.
Herrscher of Wind, is dead.
Died in pieces due to a nuclear bomb explosion.
"Even though they are corrupt, at least their brains can still be used. However, this operation has also killed many people on their side. Maria, arrange renegotiations, and form a collaboration to help kill the Honkai beasts that came out of the sea. It's time for those boys to flex their muscles."
Herrscher is indeed very strong, but in recorded human history, it is the Honkai beasts that has killed the most people.
Compared to Herrschers who were easy to kill after knowing their power, Honkai beasts numbering thousands or millions were something worth paying attention to.
"Yes, I will be holding a meeting soon. But, Saintess Thea, may I ask one thing?"
"What's wrong Maria?"
"That... Do we really need to gather the members of the Flame-Chasers? If it's just dealing with Honkai, we valkyries can also replace them. When we die, we will also be resurrected intact. I feel this is really no need."
Maybe seeing the tragic fate of Hua, her former mentor, made Maria feel sorry and anxious.
Gathering all members of the Flame-Chasers, was this really necessary?
"Actually, for me as a whole, the members of the Flame-Chasers are completely useless. But Maria, have you really ever thought about what they would do if one day this lie were to be revealed?"
"I'll give you a simple example. If only I made Hua live a normal life until the Herrscher of End arrived, and after that forced her to carry out the AMBER project that even the toughest warriors couldn't stand, how would you feel?"
"No matter how thick and tight the lies I write, they still can't replace one's own determination."
"We can change some parameters in the settings, but we have to let them run their course."
Eras always create heroes, but heroes never hope to become heroes.
Heroes also have many types.
Just like all members of the Flame-Chasers.
They are all equally important like the axle in the wheel of time.
"Let's not discuss this anymore. By the way, Maria, I have a small request for you. When you negotiate with MOTH again, don't forget to bring Ato and Blanca with you to the company as much as possible."
Hearing this name, Maria recalled the names of the scientists at MOTH.
"Is there anything special about them?"
Thea nodded and smiled: "Yes, of course. After all, they are Griseo's parents. If we can get them into the IPC, then Cosma will join in too."
"It's two birds with one stone."
