Lilith: Let the Bullets Fly for a While

"To be honest, when you told me about your wish, I never thought you would make such a wish." Zhu Yufeng walked out of the milk tea shop and handed Elysia a cup of hot milk tea. "However... the Sixth Herrscher incident does indeed have special significance for both of us."

"After all, this can be considered the starting point for us Women to leave our Women." Elysia said, taking a sip of her milk tea. "You left my Women's team, went to the European Women's territory alone, and then met new Women's partners, and had a new Women's journey."

"A new...person?" Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment, then said, "That's right...sometimes I feel that I can meet Lilith ...them, it's a kind of fate, I guess."

Elysia squinted at Zhu Yufeng. Was he just about to talk about Lilith? Hmph, didn't she know him well? But even so... Lilith did help Feng a lot, Elysia didn't deny that.

Noticing Elysia's gaze, Zhu Yufeng looked away somewhat guiltily. "In terms of the order in which I met her, among the Fallen Angel, Lilith was the first person I met..."

And now that I think about it, I always feel like Lilith and I have a kind of bickering couple relationship. I initially recruited Lilith because I valued her talent and used threats to get her to cooperate. Because of this, Lilith wanted to kill me for a long time afterward.

According to Lilith herself, she probably put aside her murderous intent after she completed the Fusion Warrior surgery and began to observe him because she thought he was an interesting person. Speaking of this, we have to mention the Eighth Herrscher who made Lilith realize that she had fallen in love with him.

If it weren't for the Eighth Herrscher, Lilith would probably have taken even longer to become aware of it, just like Elysia. Lilith said this because it was the first time she had tried to learn how to like someone and try to love someone. Before that, she had always looked down on the world with a disdainful gaze.

When Lilith confessed these things to him later, he also complained about what Lilith said. Since it was the first time she had liked someone, why could she act like a veteran, with full theoretical and practical skills, high attack and high defense? He had never seen Lilith show any shyness.

Lilith rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "How do you know I've never been shy? Do you know how long I prepared and observed before the Ninth Herrscher incident?"

In other words, Lilith spent so much time fully understanding his personality before preparing, and besides that...

"After you rejected me that time, my expression wasn't an act; I just came to terms with it afterward," Lilith later added.

I have a feeling that Lilith's realization was the starting point for her later development into a yandere/obsessive character...

"There's nothing we can do about it..." Elysia sighed helplessly. The Fallen Angel Squad was indeed established with Maple as its center. It was a story intertwined with him and the other ten Fallen Angel. However, it was Lilith initially proposed to establish the Fallen Angel Squad. If Maple was the core of the Fallen Angel Squad, then Lilith was the thread that connected the Fallen Angel Squad.

"Now... I have this feeling that, knowing that something bad will happen in the future, or compared to our last experience, have we done a better job this time?" Elysia said again.

The Fourth Herrscher was killed shortly after her birth, and the First Herrscher was killed by Lilith before she could even destroy a village. Now, the Sixth Herrscher's Herrscher Core has been removed, marking the end of the incident.

Compared to the previous life, the human situation in this life seems much better. The lonely Herrscher has found its own kind, the extraterrestrial traveler has a new identity and power, and there is also a Honkai Beast of the End-of-Day level that can join the human battle against the Honkai.

Zhu Yufeng nodded. "That's of course beyond doubt."

However... what they are doing now is merely trying their best to turn the situation around. In the Finality, they will still have to face a problem: without crossing the Finality, the war between humanity and the Honkai will never end, and the cycle of reincarnation will never cease.

With his current half-baked abilities, Zhu Yufeng wasn't really confident he could defeat the Finality God again. He even had a feeling that the Finality God... possessed some kind of immortality.

Even if he didn't Honkai Energy from the sheer volume of Honkai energy he was bearing during that battle, he actually felt that the Finality was an invincible being. He had to exert all his strength, plus the power of the Moonlight Throne, to bring the Finality a 72-hour shutdown. During those 72 hours, Kevin and the others did try to find a way to kill the Finality, but...

The reality is that they've lost the Moonlight Throne, and they can't even remove the Finality self-protective barrier.

If we prepare enough Moonlight Throne materials in advance this time, maybe we can...

"Hmm... we're talking about those topics again. Today is a rare day for you to be alone with me. Let's talk about those things later~ You have to spend some quality time with me today, just like... when Lilith kidnapped you from the Fire Moth!" Elysia said.

Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly and said, "Of course, I promised you before, didn't I?"

"Then, shall we go?" Elysia smiled and extended her hand to Zhu Yufeng also reached out and took her hand.

Inside the Fire Moth base.

"So why do I have to learn all this stuff after I've already enrolled here?" Seele looked at all the materials in front of her and her head was spinning. Putting aside the fact that she had to go to school after enrolling in the Fire Moth, why did she have to study again after finishing school, coming to the lab, and then coming here?

Rovoc said calmly, "Considering that you will occasionally be working as an assistant in Dr. Mobius's laboratory, it's necessary for you to understand some basic things. Besides, you don't want to just be a layabout in the laboratory, do you? If you want to become a soldier in the future, basic theoretical knowledge is the most basic standard for becoming a combatant."

"Is that Kosma the same way?" Seele asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up. That guy seemed to be only two or three years older than her, right? He must be studying too, right?

"Kosma's theoretical grades are all A's." Rovoc said calmly. "And, although Pardofelis from Dusk Street didn't have very good grades at first... she's now above the passing mark."

Rovoc hesitated for a moment because Pardo's initial exam scores were basically based on multiple-choice questions. Multiple-choice questions... Pardo couldn't understand them anyway; they were all decided by rolling dice, yet she still managed to get quite a few...

"Tch..." Seele could only pick up the materials that Rovoc had given her and start studying. Anyway, she had nothing else to do here, so she might as well read. Besides, that blockhead wasn't Fire Moth today; he'd been lured out by that pink-haired woman.

Seele had thought a lot about her future. She wondered if the troublesome kids in the orphanage would be bullied after she left behind the Fire Moth, and whether the old director was still healthy. She also thought about how she had witnessed someone's journey of chasing fire, when she couldn't speak and could only watch as an observer.

When she decided to join the Fire Moth, she had already decided to participate in this journey as a participant. This did not mean that she would abandon those annoying brats at the orphanage. As Rovoc had said, he would visit the orphanage once a month.

Just as Seele was reading, Klein came in from outside the laboratory carrying a pile of documents. She glanced at Seele first. Klein didn't know much about this new collaborator, only that Dr. Mobius. Möbius's data was very valuable to collect. She wondered if the doctor had discovered another person like Feng and the others...

In any case, having one more or one less person doesn't make much difference to the Mobius lab. At least Seele is much quieter than Danzhu and won't interfere with any experiments.

Klein withdrew his gaze and looked at Rovoc again. "That Lionel is looking for you outside."

Rovoc looked up. "No time, I can't see you."

Klein's gaze fell on the novel in Rovoc's hand. "Are you sure it's because you're busy, or just some excuse you made up to avoid seeing Lionel?"

After taking a sip of his coffee, Rovoc said, "Anyway, he's just here because I went to the Third Research Institute and collaborated with Dr. Admil. In that arrogant guy's eyes, he basically looks down on everything except things from the Mu Continent."

The technological strength of the Mu Continent is very strong, and it may even be ahead of the Fire Moth in many aspects. Rovoc does not deny this. However, on the one hand, she felt that working here with Mobius was very suitable from the beginning, and on the other hand, she had talked with Zhu Yufeng and knew that even the Mu Continent could not escape the fate of sinking in the end.

So, does it really matter where she goes? She has a work environment she likes, good partners like Klein and Admil, someone she gets along well with, Mostima, and people she's close to. So why would she go to the Mu Continent Research Institute?

That place... was indeed her hometown. Even though she wasn't very willing to go there the Present, the reason she chose to leave Mu Continent with her mentor was largely because of a certain incident on the Mu Continent. Lionel... was also related to that incident, so she really didn't want to see him.

Speaking of the Mu Continent, there seems to be a guy the Present works in the Mu Continent's court?

Klein shrugged. She wasn't surprised by Rovoc's answer. Rather, it seemed that Rovoc had always harbored deep resentment towards Lionel. She had tried asking Maple and Dr. Mobius, since they were the ones who recruited Rovoc in the first place, but neither of them knew the answer.

"Then I'll go tell him." Klein put down the experimental data in her hand and went out to tell Lionel, who was waiting outside, about the results of the Rovoc.

Lionel's expression wasn't surprised; he simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

He'd probably been rejected by Rovoc so many times that he'd gotten used to Rovoc's attitude.

"You're really persistent, aren't you? She doesn't even want to see you anymore." Lilith's teasing voice rang out from not far away.

Lionel looked at Lilith. He knew that Maple had asked Elysia for leave today, and he also knew that Maple, as the one with the most rumors within the Fire Moth, had some issues. Lionel couldn't find anything wrong with Maple. Apart from having too many scandals, Maple was indeed quite outstanding.

Lilith... She was able to kill the Herrscher alone, even though the Herrscher was still in its infancy. Her excellence goes without saying. Lilith handles her daily duties very well. Apart from being a bit lax and perfunctory in her attitude towards training, she doesn't have any major flaws.

Lionel frowned slightly at the hint of mockery in Lilith's tone. As a native of the Mu Continent, he disliked being spoken to like that by people from other places. He simply said coldly, "Since you're not going to Fire Moth, you don't have anything else to do, do you?"

"There's really nothing to do, since the vice-captain and captain are both off on dates," Lilith shrugged. "Since there's nothing to do, I just came over to bother Rovoc for a bit of fun~"

"She's very busy." Lionel frowned. "You..."

"She's only busy to you, right?" Lilith smiled knowingly, and as she walked past Lionel, she continued, "Lionel, what you call pride is the very thing she despises most. You always think you're right, but when have you ever tried to see things from her perspective?"

Lionel remained silent.

Just as Lilith was about to enter Mobius's laboratory, Lionel finally spoke, "I'm just fulfilling my duty."

"Even if it has nothing to do with her wishes?"

"That's the best option."

"Heh... No wonder you the Present don't know why she left Mu Continent." Lilith glanced at him slightly. "As her half-brother, you seem to be meddling too much."

Lionel's pupils contracted, and he abruptly turned to look at Lilith: "You...!"

"You don't really think you can hide it from Rovoc, do you? She already knows." Lilith waved her hand and went into Mobius's laboratory.

Rovoc had never actually mentioned this, but Lionel found Lilith's strange attitude towards Rovoc somewhat amusing, so she tricked Mostima into investigating it together, and that's how she learned some of the details.

However, she was also planning to persuade Rovoc to reveal the truth himself in the near future, and to make some other arrangements as well.

"How should I put it? You're quite like my foolish younger brother. You think you're capable of anything and want to create a safe haven for your sister, but you never considered that the shelter you create is a prison she refuses to live in."

She still remembers how this guy criticized Feng and tried to provoke her. Revenge isn't impossible, but it will come first.
