Damn It! Cocolia Is Gone, and Now World Serpent Is Here! (cont.)

Mo Wang briefly explained Mei's situation to her, including the Jiuyou and the Honkai incident she encountered yesterday.

Mei remained expressionless after hearing all this, but Sigfried's face began to turn serious.

"I didn't expect that you were also going to investigate the Jiuyou Netherworld."

"It seems that Otto is starting to get anxious about what's happening in the Jiuyou Netherworld."

Upon hearing Sigfried's words, everyone turned to look at him.

"You mean, you're here because of Jiuyou too?"

Fu Hua stared at Sigfried, wondering how even he knew about the Jiuyou Netherworlds.

"To be precise, I came here to find Mo Wang. I originally had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Jiuyou."

Sigfried then addressed the crowd.

"What do you mean by 'coming to see me'? What does this have to do with Jiuyou?"

Mo Wang was completely bewildered when he heard this.

How come Jiuyou has something to do with him? Is this how the script was originally written?

"Well, it's related to you in a way, but it's also not related in a way..."

Sigfried stroked his beard and spoke to Mo Wang.

"If you keep giving me riddles like this, I'll tell Kiana about your presence here."

Mo Wang glared at Sigfried, barely containing his anger, wishing he could burn off the guy's beard right now.

"You brat, you're getting more and more rude."

Sigfried glared at Mo Wang, feeling that after hearing his terms, the guy was taking him less and less seriously.

"Alright, before we talk about the Jiuyou Netherworlds, do you know anything about the World Serpent organization?"

"World Serpent?"

Upon hearing the name World Serpent, Mo Wang and the other two reacted with varying expressions.

When Mei heard this name, she was naturally quite bewildered.

When Fu Hua heard this name, it sounded vaguely familiar.

But upon closer reflection, it seems I can't quite recall what it was.

Only Mo Wang's face shrank back upon hearing the name of this organization.

Damn World Serpent, just hearing that name makes Mo Wang feel physically uncomfortable.

If we're talking about the Anti-Entropy side, then there's Cocolia specifically there to take the blame.

As for the World Serpent, every single one of them is an abstract concept.

After Cocolia, the evil one, was imprisoned and served prison food, and Luto chose to commit suicide for his goddess, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy seemed to have been completely exonerated.

Only the World Serpent seems to be going further and further down the path of villainy.

Strictly speaking, this organization is a reincarnation of the Flame-Chasing Moth of the previous era, and almost everyone in it, from top to bottom, is a villain.

First, there's the top leader, Kevin, the former Deliverance, who's nearly driven mad by his responsibilities.

In an attempt to save all of humanity, he even wanted to send them all into a dream world. The final boss of the first part of Honkai Impact 3rd.

This one needs no explanation.

He nearly beat his father-in-law to death, and then did all sorts of other terrible things. Even Prometheus would want to slap him if he saw him.

It can be said that this is a true example of a character who has turned to the dark side.

His former comrades-in-arms all stood against him.

It was determined that they had completely abandoned humanity.

Even the Kevin Remembrance within the Elysian Realm harbored considerable dissatisfaction with its external counterpart, hidden between the lines.

The other one is Prometheus, a former artificial intelligence AI disguised as Duck.

Like another Hare disguised as Cecilia, this one wasn't cleared of wrongdoing until the Salt Snow Holy City.

There's not much to say about him; he's more like a tool.

Hare, who was full of bad woman attributes when she first appeared, and then full of riddle attributes (it seems that ever since Elysia was created, Mihoyo really wanted to recreate a bad woman 2.0, but after trying for a long time, they didn't come up with anything interesting, and after the series ended, she disappeared).

Raven. This one has truly been exonerated.

He almost completely withdrew from World Serpent halfway through, becoming more like a mercenary.

Afterwards, she became the director of an orphanage, only to unexpectedly become the new target of persecution at the Puppet Academy. (She is also the most successfully developed character in World Serpent; her joining Honkai: Star Rail 3rd later proves her worth.)

As for the people who came after... they became more and more abstract.

People like Chen Tianwu, the ultimate simp, have been complaining about so much already.

To make Anna a reality, the difficulty was doubled to the extreme, turning the Ice Herrscher into the culprit of the Rimestar.

It's ridiculous that after all that effort, Anna might not even remember this guy.

And Jackal... human modification, Honkai research, and all sorts of scum, he's practically the next generation of Cocolia.

It seems that Mihoyo themselves felt they had written a mess, so in the end they simply didn't mention the guy's fate.

Oh, I almost forgot about the new generation of scapegoat, Grey Serpent.

As the embodiment of the will of the previous generation of humans, he was assigned to do all sorts of abstract and trivial tasks.

A complete tool, fearless of death, and fond of causing trouble.

If this guy were gone, the Honkai wouldn't have developed to this extent.

Even in side events, this is the model used for villains.

All I can say is that it was all Grey Serpent's doing!

"Um, what is the World Serpent?"

At this moment, Mei noticed everyone's reaction and hesitantly asked Mo Wang a question.

To be honest, she had never heard of this organization before.

"Well, just think of this organization as a mysterious force that has been hiding in the shadows all along, with power no less than that of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy."

Mo Wang Mei wasn't surprised that Mei didn't know anything about the organization.

In fact, apart from Honkai Gakuen, most people had never even heard of the World Serpent before the Arc City storyline came out.

When everyone thought the world was simply a matter of choosing between Schicksal or Anti-Entropy, the sudden appearance of a third-party force was indeed quite surprising.

"Comparable to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy? How is that possible?!"

Mei looked extremely surprised as she listened to Mo Wang's words.

After all, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are massive organizations capable of influencing the world order.

It controls countless countries and companies, making it a truly massive behemoth.

How could this little-known organization be comparable to these two?

"In reality, if we're talking about strength, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal combined probably wouldn't be enough to defeat World Serpent."

Mo Wang scratched his head and said.

Although World Serpent is indeed not as well-known as Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

However, as an organization personally founded by Mobius back then, and after so many years of development, with Kevin as its leader, its strength is nothing short of extraordinary.

If the adopted son of Schicksal, the Flame-Chasing Moth, still has to dig up heritage everywhere to create advanced technology, then no one knows how terrifying the true power of the World Serpent, an organization that has basically inherited most of the knowledge and heritage of Previous Civilization, truly is.

If Kevin hadn't gone easy on them and given the main characters a chance, they might have been gone before the Moon War.

Even if Schicksal and Anti-Entropy join forces in the end, the main characters still have to rely on Deus Ex to defeat them.

"You little rascal, just how much do you know?"

Sigfried, who hadn't said anything yet, was now looking at Mo Wang with a regretful expression.

How does this guy even know what the World Serpent is? And he seems to know quite a bit about it.

How can he show off now?

"Wait a minute, hasn't the World Serpent been lurking in the shadows all along? What do those people have to do with me? And what does this have to do with the Jiuyou?"

Mo Wang was even more confused now. How could these things be related to the World Serpent?

"You little brat, have you forgotten what you did before?"

Sigfried looked at Mo Wang with a strange expression.

"What?"

Mo Wang looked confused. Had he done something else?

"Of course, it's about your previous intrusion into the Anti-Entropy base and defeating the Ice Herrscher."

Sigfried stared at Mo Wang with a look of disgust.

"Because of what you've done, both Anti-Entropy and World Serpent have taken notice of your existence. Furthermore, Anti-Entropy is even speculating that Cocolia's Herrscher Core might very well be in your hands."

"Cough cough cough! So, so what? The World Serpent plans to deal with me just because of this kind of news?"

Mo Wang looked at Sigfried with an embarrassed expression. What could he say? He couldn't very well tell everyone that it wasn't just a guess, could he?

"Of course not. However, we only found out recently."

Sigfried stared at Mo Wang and slowly said, "According to the previous investigation, Cocolia seems to have been in contact with that organization all along, and is even cooperating with it."

"But because of you, their cooperation has completely fallen apart."

"So, it seems that the people in that organization think you're a problem, so they plan to kill you."

"For certain reasons, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla decided that I should remind you."

Sigfried then said this.

Well, even Mo Wang was at a loss for words to complain.

Goodness, so it was because World Serpent was collaborating with Cocolia?

Just because I killed Cocolia ahead of time, World Serpent still has to come looking for trouble with me, is that even acceptable?

Is this the legendary world restoration?

"So you'd better watch out, kid. That organization is tough to deal with. Even Schicksal and Anti-Entropy didn't get much of an advantage when they fought them before."

At this moment, Sigfried reminded Mo Wang again.

Clearly, although Sigfried wanted to Mo Wang the man who had ruined his daughter, Sigfried still quite reliable when it came to matters of principle.

"However, I still don't quite understand why the World Serpent is related to the Jiuyou Netherworlds. What are they doing?"

Mo Wang asked again at this moment.

"Well... we heard before that Cocolia was also investigating the Jiuyou. But we don't know the specifics of why."

"After learning about this news, the World Serpent apparently went to this place as well. It seems like it's planning something."

At this moment, Sigfried spoke to Mo Wang.

"The World Serpent is in the Jiuyou? Are you kidding me?!"

Mo Wang immediately sprayed it.

What, does the World Serpent also want the Xuanyuan Sword?

When did mass-produced stuff become something that would pique the interest of the World Serpent?

Or perhaps, Ancestor Kevin has discovered that the Judgment isn't so appealing anymore and is planning to get his hands on a Xuanyuan Sword instead?

Or perhaps these people think the Honkai Impact 3rd update is too slow and are planning to release a Chiyou to play with?

Mo Wang really couldn't understand why these people weren't thinking about how to release Kevin, but instead were doing a bunch of strange things.

What's wrong? Are these people so bored they've gone crazy?

Anyway Mo Wang can't figure out why the World Serpent would go to the Jiuyou Netherworld.

They have all that junk, and maybe even more advanced stuff, don't they?
