"...I'm afraid I need to report this matter to the Lord." Gray Serpent said somewhat awkwardly.
He wasn't surprised that Alicia knew about the existence of Paradise. This only further proved the authenticity of her identity. However, as mentioned before, Paradise was the training ground for World Serpent executives and also the most important secret place of this organization.
Those inside the World Serpent are fine, but for those outside, getting in is clearly not so easy.
It was only because it was [Alicia] who brought this up that Gray Serpent's opinion was merely a notification.
As the thirteen heroes of the Fire Chaser, [Alicia]'s desire to allow people to enter Paradise is not something subordinates like them can interfere with.
But he at least needs to inform Lord Kevin, since Kevin is currently the de facto ruler of the World Serpent.
The girl nodded happily:
"It doesn't matter."
"I've sent you the list of people to go to Paradise. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Um...by the way, could you please give my regards to Kevin?"
After Alicia and Kiana have finalized their schedules, the current civilization should be relatively peaceful for a while.
Of course, it's also possible that a fifth major collapse will follow soon.
After all, the original Fourth Great Collapse should have occurred after Kiana and the others graduated from St. Freya and became Valkyries, but it happened more than three years earlier.
However, that doesn't matter. After connecting with Durandal and Anti-Entropy, he basically no longer needs to deal with the potential fifth Great Collapse centered on Coral Island.
...
At the bottom of the Sea of Quanta, Kevin, who was sealed here by Su, stared intently in a certain direction, as if he were watching something.
In terms of the location of the intrinsic world, that place is roughly... the Moon.
He always does this at this time of year.
Even though he is now in the Sea of Quanta and can no longer travel to the moon in person as he used to, the boy named Kevin still keeps the promise he made to everyone.
Kevin slowly raised an eyebrow; he could sense the connection with the gray snake.
In the past, their contact was not close. After all, even with the World Serpent's technology, it was not an easy thing to contact Kevin, who was in the bottom of the Quantum Sea.
But nowadays, while it can't be called extreme, the contact is quite frequent.
It still takes the form of a snake, a large, dark snake hidden in the mist, interspersed with specks of green.
He listened calmly to Gray Serpent's report.
—Another failure.
Fortunately, Kevin wasn't the type to reprimand his subordinates for poor performance; on the contrary, he was quite lenient with the World Serpent's executives.
Moreover, neither the failure to steal Chi You nor the disappointment of seizing the coveted gem was enough to make this man stand out.
Kevin even felt a little pleased.
After all, the brilliance displayed by the characters active in this world—the Herrschers of Reason belonging to this era—was something even he, a veteran of countless battles and the strongest Fusion Warrior, could not help but admire.
Some might even wonder if things would have been different if such a being had existed in their time—such fantasies only lingered for a moment before disappearing from their minds, since the man named Kevin had already lost the right to dream during an exchange.
Moreover, time cannot be reversed, and a miracle like the First Herrscher could never have occurred in a previous civilization.
After all, that was the only thing she had given her life for.
However, the appearance of the Fourth Herrscher undoubtedly indicates that the end is drawing ever closer.
Although Kevin had to admit the remarkable achievements of people in this era in fighting against the Honkai.
But if it's only at this level, it's impossible to overcome the end and defeat the collapse.
Because of 'her' appearance, Kevin thinks—perhaps we can leave more time for this era, that would be 'her' wish, and also Kevin's own wish.
However, the rapid emergence of a rift between the Third and Fourth Herrschers cast a shadow over Kevin's heart, making his frozen heart feel somewhat anxious.
However, before Kevin could say anything, Gray Snake's next words caused the black snake's eyes to narrow and it to freeze:
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Alicia has come to me."
"What did she say?"
After a brief silence, Kevin's words carried an unusual hint of urgency.
Although his past experiences had made this man as cold as ice, his heart as still as water, calm and undisturbed, he couldn't remain calm when it came to the topic of his former companions, especially when it involved 'her'.
"She wanted to send a few people into the Paradise of the Past. After checking, I found that the list that Lord Alicia gave me... was basically full of Herrscher prototypes." Gray Serpent reported with a headache.
What is the Paradise of the Past? It's the private domain of the Thirteen Heroes Who Chased Fire.
The heroes who fought to the death with the Law Enforcers in the past cannot be said to be irreconcilable enemies with the Law Enforcers, but at least they should greet them first when they see them.
The fact that Lord Alicia actually wants to send a bunch of Herrscher bodies to the Paradise of the Dead... Grey Serpent can't even imagine the consequences.
If anything goes wrong with Paradise, they can't afford to take responsibility. Although Paradise is compatible and a group of Herrscher bodies shouldn't have any problems, no Herrscher has entered Paradise since it was built. Who can guarantee that there won't be any problems?
Besides, if anything happens to the people that Lord Alicia sent in, they won't be able to explain it to Alicia.
After reading Jiang's "List of Students for Further Studies at Paradise Academy," Gray Snake, caught in the middle, was quite overwhelmed and could only consult the leader.
"..."
"Let her be."
--In summary
"The organization has decided that you will lead the people on the list into the Pure Land of the Dead."
A hoarse voice came from the other end of the communicator to Miss Dodo's ears. The news and the names on the list made Raven's eyes widen in surprise.
Jiang Qiao (Alice), Bronya Zaychek, Wendy, Kiana, and... Raiden Mei.
What? Bringing outsiders into Paradise? No... isn't that place only accessible to World Serpent executives?
Outsiders wouldn't even be qualified to know your name, let alone get in.
Even World Serpent executives typically only go in every now and then.
So this time, not only did they let outsiders in, but they actually let an entire squad in, right?
Jiang Qiao Raven could understand, after all, there had been orders to invite this man into World Serpent, but the others... no, they really had connections, right? That's something.
Could that pink-clad thug really be the Lord's illegitimate daughter or something?
"Won't it cause problems to bring these people in?"
Logically speaking, Raven shouldn't need to ask too many questions about the tasks assigned by those above. It's an employment relationship; those who know, know. As long as you get paid and do the work, that's enough.
But the Gray Snake list.
Wendy, Jiang Qiao, and that little dwarf are at least normal humans, but Kiana and Mei, the two Herrscher bodies, were brought into Paradise...
The image of a certain infuriating man immediately flashed into Raven's mind, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Bringing these two into Paradise might get them killed by that person!
Unfortunately, the gray snake seemed to have no intention of communicating at all. After issuing the task, it immediately ended the call, leaving Miss Dodo speechless and cursing inwardly:
"Would it kill you to reveal more?!"
Then, she took the initiative to approach Raiden Mei. It happened to be nighttime, so she didn't need to wait for her to come home from school.
"...Paradise?"
"What is that place?"
While Mei was confused about this, Kiana and Bronya were also puzzled about where they were going next.
...The Pure Land of the Afterlife—that doesn't sound like an inspiring place.
While paradise is something to aspire to, this concept is often used in the context of the deceased's world, especially since this one is further complicated by the addition of the preposition "past life."
"Hehe~ Is 'Alicia's' class starting?"
Standing before a crowd, a pink-clad girl, who had somehow donned a female teacher's uniform, held a small pointer and wore sophisticated glasses, looking incredibly adorable.
While this appearance was praised by others, it also made Mr. Jiang Qiao grit his teeth in anger.
Why are you so skilled at this, you naughty Jiang Qiao!
Without a doubt, the fat lady regained... no, I mean, started using the [Jiang Qiao] account again. Although she felt a secret joy when she switched back—you naughty Jiang Qiao, your body has fallen into my hands again, hasn't it? Now I'm going to get my revenge on you!
However, before Miss Fat could begin her new revenge plan, she was informed of her next destination—the Paradise of the Dead.
Then comes this terrible situation—watching the wicked Jiang Qiao use her own body to impersonate Alicia, playing the role perfectly, while the original owner of the body can only grit her teeth in frustration.
Without going into details, Tesla and Ai Yin haven't yet figured out the truth about [Alice] and [Jiang Qiao].
Unfortunately, Alicia had no way of exposing Jiang Qiao's true colors—she was acting! She was acting! I am the real Alicia!
If Ai-Yin and the others ask, "Why is this fake Alicia more real than the real one?" wouldn't that be embarrassing for me?
To avoid falling into this extremely awkward situation, the fat lady could only grit her teeth and keep smiling as she watched 'Teacher Alicia's' speech.
She really wants to experience what it's like to be a teacher!
—Following her experience as 'Radio Announcer Ellie,' she once again lost her first experience as 'Teacher Ellie,' and this time she even witnessed it firsthand...
I'll remember this grudge, Ellie!
