When had Gray Serpent ever used such an attitude toward anyone?
— But this wasn’t strange either, after all, the master before his eyes now, even among all 13 Flame-Chasers, was probably one of the most specially positioned existences.
“Mm-hmm~ Nothing much, I need you guys to send a few people into Elysian Realm.”
The pink girl said her purpose with a smile.
— Although the Far East Devil’s Den St. Freya Academy was also good at cultivating Herrschers, in reality, that place was more like playing house. Only Otto would place hopes on emotions between people to make such a slow move.
But Jiang Qiao didn’t have such patience, not only because it was too slow, but also because this method itself required a baptism filled with blood and tears. In the original plot, Murata Himeko played this role.
Both slow and costly in sacrifice, he couldn’t find a reason to choose this method — maybe Jiang Qiao would go there to give them a beautiful school life, but definitely not now.
St. Freya wouldn’t work, and Anti-Entropy was even more impossible.
Although with Tesla, Einstein, and even old Yang’s abilities, they were indeed better teachers than St. Freya, but frankly speaking, the education Anti-Entropy brought to Herrschers was more on the application side — rated as famous teacher Rayleigh.
After passing on both of the above places, there was only one place left in this world most suitable for Herrscher growth — Elysian Realm.
As a large simulation facility left by the Previous Era, containing the memories of the glorious Previous Era and the stories and beliefs inherited by the 13 heroes of the past, this was undoubtedly the best place for tempering one’s will.
World Serpent used this place as a trial ground for cadres precisely because of this.
“This…”
“What, is there a problem?” 【Elysia】 raised an eyebrow.
“…I’m afraid I need to report this matter to the Lord.” Gray Serpent was somewhat troubled.
He wasn’t surprised that 【Elysia】 would know about Elysian Realm’s existence, this could only further prove the authenticity of her identity. It’s just that as mentioned before, Elysian Realm was World Serpent’s cadre trial ground, and also this organization’s most important secret place.
World Serpent internal personnel were fine, but for people outside World Serpent to enter, it obviously wasn’t that easy.
It was only because it was 【Elysia】 saying this that Gray Serpent’s opinion was merely notification.
With 【Elysia】’s identity as one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, wanting to let people enter Elysian Realm wasn’t something subordinates like them could interfere with.
But he at least needed to notify Lord Kevin, since Kevin was currently World Serpent’s actual leader.
The girl nodded readily:
“No problem.”
“I’ve sent you the list of people going to Elysian Realm, please handle it afterward.”
“Um… please give Kevin my regards?”
After arranging Elysia, Kiana, and the others’ next itinerary, the Current Era should be peaceful for a while.
Of course, the Fifth Eruption might follow immediately.
After all, the original Fourth Eruption should have occurred after Kiana and the others graduated from St. Freya to become Valkyries, but it was directly advanced by more than 3 years.
But that was fine too. For the possible Fifth Eruption centered on Coral Island, after connecting with Durandal and Anti-Entropy, he basically didn’t need to handle it anymore.
…
At the bottom of the Sea of Quanta, Kevin, who was sealed here by Su, gazed tightly in a certain direction, as if watching something.
In terms of the intrinsic world’s orientation, that was roughly… the moon.
Every year at this time, he would always do this.
Even though he was now in the Sea of Quanta and couldn’t personally go to the moon like in the past, the big boy named Kevin still followed that tacit agreement.
Kevin slowly raised an eyebrow. He could sense Gray Serpent’s contact.
In the past, their contact wasn’t frequent, after all, even with World Serpent’s technology, contacting Kevin at the bottom of the Sea of Quanta wasn’t easy.
But now, although it couldn’t be called extreme, this contact could be called frequent.
Still in the form of a serpent, hidden in the mist, the pitch-black serpent was dotted with green light.
He calmly listened to Gray Serpent’s report.
— Another failure.
Fortunately, Kevin wasn’t the type to blame his subordinates for poor performance. On the contrary — toward World Serpent’s cadres, his attitude could be called lenient.
Moreover, whether it was the failure to steal Chiyou or the disappointment of seizing the Gem of Desire, they actually weren’t enough to draw this man’s attention.
Kevin even felt somewhat pleased.
After all, the character active in this — the Herrscher of Reason belonging to this era — showed such brilliance that even he, a battle-hardened strongest MANTIS, couldn’t be stingy with his praise.
He even had fantasies about whether the outcome would have been slightly different if such an existence had appeared in their era — but this fantasy only lingered briefly before disappearing from his mind, since the man named Kevin had long lost the right to dream in an exchange long past.
Moreover, time couldn’t flow backward, and a miracle like the 1st Herrscher absolutely couldn’t have appeared in the Previous Era.
After all, that was the uniqueness exchanged with ‘her’ life.
However, the appearance of the 4th Herrscher also undoubtedly indicated that the footsteps of Finality’s arrival had drawn several steps closer.
Although Kevin had to admit the excellence of this era’s people’s performance against Honkai.
But if it was only this level, it would be impossible to cross Finality and defeat Honkai no matter what.
Because of ‘her’ appearance, Kevin would think — perhaps he could leave more time for this era, that would be ‘her’ wish, and also Kevin’s own wish.
But the rapid appearance of the gap between the 3rd Herrscher and 4th Herrscher cast a shadow over Kevin’s heart, making his frozen heart feel somewhat urgent.
However, before Kevin could say anything, what Gray Serpent said next made the pitch-black serpent’s eyes contract and freeze:
“Additionally, Lord, Lord Elysia contacted me.”
“What did she say.”
After a brief silence, Kevin’s words rarely carried a few traces of urgency.
Although past experiences had made this man like ten-thousand-year-old ice, his heart like still water, unperturbed by waves, only when it came to topics about past companions, especially ‘her’ matters, even Kevin couldn’t remain calm.
“She wants to send several people into Elysian Realm. After checking, I found that Lord Elysia’s list… basically consists of Herrscher vessels.” Gray Serpent reported with some headache.
What kind of place was Elysian Realm? The Thirteen Flame-Chasers’s private territory.
And those Flame-Chasers who fought life and death against Herrschers in the past, while they couldn’t be said to be irreconcilable with Herrschers, at least they would definitely greet them with a full combo when they met.
