Atlantis Still Had to Sink

"Since you said you came with Elysia, where is Feng now?" Eden asked. "He wouldn't happen to be with Lilith, would he?"

After her last meeting with Lilith, Eden naturally continued to keep an eye on Lilith. Eden also received the news that Lilith's entire family had died in the Fourth Great Honkai immediately. She knew that Lilith wouldn't go to South America for no reason, especially not with the memories of the previous life.

Therefore, Eden speculated that Lilith had already joined the Fire Moth.

Hearing Eden say that, Elysia replied, "No, that's not it... After Lilith finished transporting the Herrscher Core, she said she had something interesting to do and left. As for Maple, he should be at the Honkai Energy Observation Center in Atlantis right now. I heard you were here, so I came to see you as soon as possible~"

Then she muttered to herself, "If Lilith were still by Feng's side, I would do anything to bring Feng over..."

"So it seems you've had some setbacks with Lilith, Elysia?" Eden said with a smile, looking at Elysia. "And your relationship with Maple is still undecided?"

Elysia said speechlessly, "With Kevin around, I'd have a headache even if Lilith didn't come. Although I spend a lot of time with Kaede, we don't actually have much time alone together..."

After Lilith joined the Fire Moth, there were even fewer...

"I see..." Eden said thoughtfully, "After all, once Kevin becomes fixated on something, it's very difficult to change his mind..."

So it's better to just bury it directly.

Then, Eden's expression turned somewhat helpless. She said, "Elysia, since you know Lilith's feelings for Feng, and since she's not by Feng's side right now, why don't you spend more time with Feng?"

Cherish your time, Elysia!

Elysia threw herself into Eden's arms and said in a coquettish tone, "Eden, my dear Eden... It's been so long since we've had a chance to see each other, are you going to send me away?"

"Oh dear, Elysia, of course I didn't mean that." Eden also reached out and hugged Elysia. "I was just a little curious because I know that Maple is also important to you, so I asked."

"If it were me at the beginning, I probably would have thought the same way. I wanted to cherish every moment I spent with him, but that doesn't mean I need to be by his side all the time. That would be a constraint for both of us. We have a long time ahead of us, so there's no need to rush. I also have something I want to tell you~" Elysia buried her head in Eden's chest. "Eden, do you know what I saw after Lilith entered the Fire Moth?"

"Let me guess, it must be something you wanted to do but didn't, Elysia?" Eden said.

Based on her understanding of Elysia must have suffered quite a few setbacks at Lilith's hands during the time since Lilith returned to the Fire Moth, otherwise she wouldn't look so "exhausted".

"Hmm... Lilith, she seems to have no scruples about many things..."

"Speaking of which, I heard that Lilith took her family, except for her brother, to South America. So, how are her family members doing in this Honkai 3rd?" Eden asked again.

"According to the post-disaster investigation of the Fire Moth, only Lilith's Sister survived, and Mostima is now taking care of her." Elysia raised her head and sighed softly. "Lilith... she really doesn't exist except for Maple. She has never visited her sister, as if she doesn't have a sister at all."

"She's completely different from the rumors." Eden frowned slightly. "When I was in Puliya City, almost all the news I heard about Lilith was negative. It seemed that everyone agreed that she was a virtuous and talented young lady."

Eden discovered Lilith's disguise during that concert, but... judging from Elysia's words and attitude, Lilith's true nature beneath the mask seems far more terrifying than she thought.

Suddenly, Elysia's communicator rang. Elysia released Eden and connected to the call. Zhu Yufeng's voice came from the other end. "The underwater Honkai has occurred. According to observations from Atlantis's Honkai Observation Center, the Honkai is spreading. The fish in the outer city are highly likely to be affected by this Honkai and mutate into Honkai Beast. Varuna is also rising and is expected to reach the bottom of Atlantis in ten minutes. Prepare for evacuation, Elysia. I will notify the mayor of Atlantis to complete the evacuation of personnel currently underwater as soon as possible."

Speaking of the residents of Atlantis, the permanent population of Atlantis is actually mainly at sea. The underwater part is mainly occupied by temporary tourists and some researchers. After all, as a water-based tourist city, the Ketu of the underwater part of Atlantis is geared towards viewing, not for people to stay for a long time.

Atlantis, however, is smaller than a small city. It is called a city because it is the first and only large habitable place built by humans on the sea.

Elysia's expression hardened, and she looked at Eden, saying, "It seems that Atlantis's tenth anniversary celebration may not be this grand."

The Honkai Observation Center of Atlantis.

"Is there really no other way?" The mayor of Atlantis stood beside Zhu Yufeng, looking at the whale-like figure at the bottom of Atlantis on the screen, and said, "You are the force fighting against the Honkai, don't you have any way to stop it?"

Zhu Yufeng glanced at the mayor and then said, "This Honkai Beast's Honkai Energy has reached the highest level of all Honkai Beast discovered so far, the Judgment Level. Atlantis's defenses alone cannot kill it. Moreover, the Honkai that occurred on the seabed is spreading as Varuna rises. Evacuation is the most effective means."

"So you're just going to watch these beasts destroy Atlantis?" the mayor said, gripping Zhu Yufeng's shoulders. "This is Atlantis, home to countless artworks left by artists over the centuries. It's their ideal city! Are you just going to watch it sink? You, the Fire Moth, aren't you here to fight against Honkai Honkai-era organization? Can't you even do this?"

"I've already reported to headquarters. The teams that were originally scheduled to Vayu have changed their plans and are on their way. Mu Continent has also urgently mobilized rescue forces," Zhu Yufeng said expressionlessly. "Mayor, I hope you can calm down. Even if Atlantis may not be destroyed, it will certainly be severely damaged. For example, right now, directly beneath this city, there is a Honkai Beast almost the size of Atlantis' inner city that is rising. Tell me, what can be done to stop it from rising?"

"That's a problem you should be considering!"

"Our conclusion is to arrange for the evacuation of personnel." Zhu Yufeng looked at the screen and saw that there were less than five minutes left before Varuna attacked the lower level of Atlantis.

He stared at Zhu Yufeng, but Zhu Yufeng completely ignored him and began to arrange for the evacuation of the observation center personnel.

"Using resources from all over the world to cultivate the Flame- Fire Moth, is this all the quality you can achieve?"

As for Fusion Warrior, that's certainly possible, since Fusion Warrior physical abilities are strong enough to fight in space. But right now... it's not the time for Fusion Warrior to appear in large numbers...

As Zhu Yufeng was thinking this, he looked at the leader, then picked up his communication device and said, "The Fire Moth has contacted His Majesty the King of the Mu Continent. His intention is also to arrange an immediate evacuation. Atlantis can be rebuilt, but the dead cannot be brought back to life."

The king of the Mu Continent also sent another message: "If Kandela doesn't agree to evacuate, then knock him out and take him away."

Kandela is this man's name. I heard he comes from an artistic family, and his father was one of the people who participated in the design and construction of Atlantis. As for artists... I can only say that sometimes some artists' passion for art far exceeds what ordinary people can understand. But Eden should be considered normal... at least most of the time.

Except at the end of the world, she chose to sing a final song for the world and perish along with civilization.

In the later stages of the fight against Honkai, the Fire Moth's reason for refuting Eden's claim of Flame-Chasers was. "We don't need people without heroes."

This reason is quite intriguing.

When Zhu Yufeng was allowed to stand with Six Schicksal— Kevin, Elysia, Vill-V, Hua, Su, and Zhu Yufeng — Zhu Yufeng felt that apart from Elysia and Su, the other four were not exactly normal.

A savior who listens to his wife but has no emotions; a person with a fluctuating sense of justice but suffers from dissociative identity disorder; a quiet, obedient, and honest person; and a transmigrator who has little feeling for the world...

While thinking this through, Zhu Yufeng knocked Kandela unconscious and had the others take him away.

He watched the timer on the screen decrease and wondered if he could see the giant monster battle scene if he called Ugar down now.

Atlantis, well, its excessive pursuit of artistic beauty resulted in a lack of defensive capabilities against disasters of the Honkai Beast level. For example, if the Honkai Beast destroyed the underwater outer defenses of Atlantis, even if it only opened a small hole, the seawater that rushed in could instantly destroy a large area and spread rapidly.

If Atlantis also had such an emergency response plan, the fortifications would seal off all levels after the emergency response plan was activated, stopping the upward surge of seawater. However, in that case, those still below would be unable to evacuate...

Just as Zhu Yufeng was preparing to leave the observation center and evacuate, an alarm suddenly sounded, and the words "Emergency Response Plan Activated" appeared on the screen.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yufeng frowned. Someone must have messed with the control room. Judging from the current situation, Atlantis is celebrating its centenary, and there are many people here. The people in the lowest level area should not have finished evacuating yet. Although Zhu Yufeng did not think that everyone could be evacuated in such a short time.

Even with Atlantis's rescue equipment, it would be difficult to evacuate everyone; ultimately, there were simply too many people...

Control room.

Lilith sat calmly in the control room chair, watching the monitors as the tourists waiting to be evacuated on the lowest level of the control room, along with other staff members, looked at each other blankly. Some staff members were trying to contact the outside world to find out what was going on, while others were trying their best to calm the somewhat panicked crowd.

The next moment, the entire Atlantis was violently shaken by the impact. Lilith watched the panicked crowd at the bottom, watched the surveillance cameras at the bottom gradually freeze on the moment the seawater surged, watched the iron walls that blocked the way upwards hammer down, and watched the desperate people finally being swallowed by the seawater. She revealed a satisfied smile.

Just then, her communicator rang. Lilith answered the channel, and Zhu Yufeng's voice came through. "Lilith, are you in the control room right now?"

"Oh my, as expected of Feng, you understand me so well, it really touches me," Lilith said cheerfully.

On the other side, Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, and finally just said, "... You should be careful about how you handle things afterwards."

Lilith's actions, aside from being morally unacceptable to many, could indeed minimize casualties. Therefore, Zhu Yufeng wouldn't say anything to her about her going too far, since he himself planned to notify the control room to activate the emergency response plan after leaving the observation center.

However, if it were Kosma or Disaster instead, they would probably fight Lilith directly...

The violent impact of the Varuna caused panic among the crowd waiting to evacuate.

"Everyone, please maintain order! Evacuate in an orderly manner!" Disaster, who was helping the staff arrange the evacuation, shouted to the crowd through a megaphone.

At least Atlantis had a relatively complete design for emergency exits. With the emergency exits fully open, people could still evacuate in a short time as long as they evacuated in an orderly manner. Furthermore, people on the uppermost level, being closest to the sea surface, could evacuate using diving equipment. Therefore, compared to the difficulty of escaping to the lower levels in case of an accident, the evacuation of the upper levels was relatively smooth.

Before Disaster could even catch her breath, another earthquake shook the city. It turned out that the lower level of the Varuna had begun to repeatedly strike Atlantis. Although the impact was not as violent as when it was rising, its enormous body was still enough to shake the floating city.

However, thanks to Lilith's activation of the emergency response plan, regardless of her motives, at least the people in other areas still had time to evacuate before the lower levels Varuna completely destroyed.

Just as Disaster was about to fall, Kosma, who was beside her, caught her with lightning speed.
