"Rovoc's mentor Dr. Sashiwen, said he wanted to introduce her to you so she could study under you?" Zhu Yufeng looked at Mobius, confirming that he hadn't misheard. "I heard Rovoc say before that Dr. Sashiwen should be very opposed to her researching Honkai Energy." In the previous era, it wasn't until Sage died in the Fourth Herrscher incident that Rovoc truly understood Honkai and Honkai Energy for the first time.

"I'm also very surprised. It's impossible for Shaya to suddenly change her nature." Mobius threw a report in front of Zhu Yufeng. "Take a look. This is the Fire Moth's surveillance report on Yuga's whereabouts. It appeared near the moon. The only thing I can think of that could cause Shaya's change of heart is Yuga. After all, this is the Honkai Beast we've seen before. It's the only variable. And when Yuga appeared, it directly destroyed Visakha City. Maybe... Rovoc noticed something unusual."

Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "After all, Rovoc is also a genius. The commotion in Visakha City was so big that even if it was kept from ordinary people, someone like Rovoc, who is abnormal, would always be able to find some clues."

"So... what do you think?" Mobius asked.

"Although Rovoc has some ideological problems, she can still provide us with help overall," Zhu Yufeng said.

"Her thoughts?" Mobius tilted his head. "In my impression, Rovoc should be considered, if not the most like, a very normal person among you Fallen Angel, right?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Mobius without saying anything.

Mobius understood, rolled his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not being monitored. Lately, I've been behaving much more 'normal' in the eyes of ordinary people, and those old fogies have reduced their surveillance on me quite a bit."

"Then I'm relieved," Zhu Yufeng said. "Rovoc ... although she seems quite normal, there are many Fallen Angel who seem normal but are actually quite different, like Abaddon, Baal, and Mostima. To be more specific, Rovoc is... a desperate genius."

"Despair?"

"Because she's a genius, that's why she thinks the Honkai is invincible more than anyone else," Zhu Yufeng sighed. "Rovoc never believed that humanity could defeat the Honkai; she always felt that the destruction of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable."

"In a way, she wasn't wrong." Mobius smiled bitterly. "We gave it our all, but in the end, we couldn't save the world from destruction. Even if 100,000 humans survived... the old world is beyond saving."

After a moment of silence, Mobius spoke to himself again, "If that's the case, then all that effort she put into developing weapons that use Honkai Energy to fight Honkai was actually to prove to everyone that no matter how advanced the technology or how sophisticated the weapons, humanity can never defeat Honkai. Right?"

"That's exactly what she thought." Zhu Yufeng nodded. "Actually, during the Ninth Herrscher incident, she was prepared to perish along with the Mu Continent. In the end, I forcibly brought her back."

"You never miss an opportunity to exploit labor," Mobius said, squinting at Zhu Yufeng. She could already guess why Zhu Yufeng did this.

"Since this is what you wanted to tell me today, I've already shared what I know about Rovoc. It's time to get to training," Zhu Yufeng said.

"No, you're coming with me to see Rovoc," Mobius said quietly.

"Huh?!"

"I thought it was because the Fourteen Schicksal possessed the so-called 'previous' memories. But Lilith's words reminded me of something else: why don't the Thirteen Fallen Angels have the memories of the previous era?" Mobius said, arms crossed. "If Rovoc had the memories of the previous era, he would understand everything as soon as he saw you, right?"

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I think... the probability is very small," Zhu Yufeng said.

Mobius frowned. "Why?"

"If Thirteen Fallen Angels have pre-existing memories like Lilith, let's Xila as an example. Although saying this might make you think I'm too narcissistic... well, the Xila I know would do anything to join the Fire Moth to find me, just like Sakura did when she Fire Moth," Zhu Yufeng said.

Mobius twitched his lips, then rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "I'd forgotten that Xila almost idolized you..."

"And given Beelzebub's intelligence, if he had been born, he would already be in the Deepest Place by now," Zhu Yufeng shrugged and said, "And telling everyone what happened last night."

"You really know them well," Mobius said, speechless.

Beelzebub, a Fallen Angel who was as insane as or even more insane than Qianjie. At least Qianjie would not resort to violence without a reason, while Beelzebub simply enjoyed violence.

If a guy like that were born, he certainly wouldn't be honest.

"Of course, although they're all like lunatics, they really are like family to me." Zhu Yufeng leaned back in his chair. "This is all thanks to Lilith ... Yes, she's like Elysia, the core of the Thirteen Fallen Angels. It's because of her that we can unite and know each other so well..."

Even though he said this to Lilith replied, "The core of the Thirteen Fallen Angels has always been you. Without you, it would never have existed in the first place."

That makes a lot of sense.

"Anyway, you have to come with me to see Rovoc today," Mobius said.

Don't think that just because she's come to terms with it, she can be indifferent. Elysia has been getting way too close to Zhu Yufeng lately! No, she has to try too!

Training ground.

Elysia looked down at her phone. Pardo, who was beside her, asked, "How's it going, Sister Elysia? Did Brother Yu Feng reply? Why did Mobius call Brother Yu Feng over?"

"Maple probably won't be coming this morning." Elysia put down her phone. "He said Rovoc ... is coming to the Fire Moth."

"Sister Rovoc?" Pardo exclaimed in surprise. "Did she join the Fire Moth so early? And what does Sister Rovoc's presence in the Fire Moth have to do with Brother Yu Feng?"

"I remember... she should have joined the Fire Moth around the same time as Kosma after the Fourth Herrscher event," Kevin.

"I have some recollection of that as well." Kosma nodded.

"Huh? Then... does Sister Rovoc have memories from before, just like Sister Lilith?" Pardo asked.

"Feng went to confirm this matter, although he told me he thought it was unlikely. Anyway, let's leave everything to Feng~" Elysia said, changing the subject, "By the way, Kosma, how are things between you and Disaster? Is there any progress in your relationship?"

Kevin also watched the Kosma.

"Hmm... there should be some progress..." Kosma said.
