I was the one who was causing the collapse of the iron.

Looking around, Mei then discovered that there were many inconspicuous small tables in the corners of the venue. It seemed that as the organizer, Mebius was very considerate and took the socially anxious group into consideration.

Sure enough, this place is suitable for me. Thinking this in my heart, Mei went over and found a small table and sat down.

Not far away, the backs of Xu Nuo and Blanca could be seen standing together. Mei just stared at the two people who looked a perfect match, and the feeling in her heart was very subtle.

Jealousy? Envy? Or... simply envy?

Looking at Grayshut who was standing between the two of them, Mei couldn't help but have such thoughts.

If only... I could also... oooh...

But what the future will be like is still uncertain. If we are unable to give our child a future filled with light and hope, and let her be born into a devastated and hopeless world, wouldn’t that be a bit too selfish?

Everything seems to be thriving, and it seems that the collapse disaster is no longer a concern. However, Mei, as a senior executive, knows that things are not as simple as imagined.

The Third Herrscher was able to avoid causing too much damage because of Xu Nuo's intervention, but even so, more than half of the people in Changkong City died from the Honkai Disease.

Although the Fourth Herrscher succeeded in the conquest, the price was the destruction of more than a dozen cities and heavy casualties.

But no one cares about all this. The living are celebrating their victory here, while the dead have turned into cold numbers.

When did she become so sentimental? Mei smiled bitterly and then found someone standing in front of her.

"What's wrong, Sister Mei? You look so lonely here alone."

Alicia, holding a tray, spoke with a smile, then took out a cocktail and handed it over.

"Would you like a drink?"

"I want juice."

"Hey, this cocktail has a very low alcohol content, so you won't get drunk for sure."

"Juice, thank you."

"If Sister Mei is like this, people will be sad."

Alicia showed a somewhat resentful look, while Mei subtly shifted her gaze away.

After all, before leaving, she had handcuffed the other person's hands behind his back and pressed his shoulders. Who knows if she will be retaliated now?

Although Alicia always looks weak and submissive, you never know for sure whether she is looking for an opportunity to turn the tables and become the master.

If I accidentally get drunk, I will be taken to the supermarket by her and Xu Nuo and stroll around until I die.

Mei gently shook the goblet in her hand. Although it was just a glass of orange juice, it made the girl feel like she was drinking fine wine.

Mei squinted her eyes, feeling the broken light shining on her face, and even felt a little drunk.

Wait, could it be that Ellie added something to the orange juice?

Mei shuddered and sobered up a little. Looking at the pink-haired girl who was delivering drinks not far away, she wondered if she was thinking too much.

Alicia is not Dr. Mobius, how could she do such a thing?

The banquet had been going on for a while, and Mebius also came out. The woman was wearing a black long-skirted uniform and had a sweet smile on her face.

"Everyone, welcome to this banquet. Thank you for your important contributions in the campaign against the Fourth Herrscher. As one of the top leaders of the Fire Moth, please allow me to express my highest respects to you all."

After the formulaic opening remarks, Mebius bowed in greeting and applause broke out.

What followed were some words of encouragement, such as Honkai is not that scary, the Fire Moth is getting stronger and stronger, and the Herrscher is nothing to worry about.

Then there was the Newcomer Commendation Conference, where the newcomers who performed outstandingly in the Fourth Herrscher crusade were given honors and rewards.

Several young people came to the center of the venue and stood beside Mebius, while Mebius awarded medals to these young people one by one.

It imitates the model of awarding honors to nobles in the past, and the sense of ceremony is very strong.

"In addition to the combatants on the front line, the civilian personnel in charge of logistics and scientific research in the rear have also made significant contributions. Let us welcome them..."

Another name was read out and the awarding of honors continued.

"It's really hard to imagine that such words would come out of Mebius' mouth."

Xu Nuo complained as he sat down next to Mei.

"Why are you here again?"

"I came to keep you company. Alicia said you looked lonely."

"It's boring. We've been together all day long, and it's not enough."

Mei muttered as she watched Xu Nuo snatch her orange juice from her hand, then stared with wide eyes as she watched the man drink it up in one big gulp.

"Wow, what are you doing? You don't even leave me any."

"You want to drink? I'll get you some more. Which one do you want, milk or orange juice?"

"Pooh!"

"Why are you glaring at me? I'm going to ask Ellie for it. What are you thinking about in your little head?"

"Humph!"

Mei turned her head away, not looking at the smiling man. She was not stupid, she knew what the man was talking about, and he had the nerve to blame her, as if she had never been allowed to choose before.

"You're being a bit tsundere, aren't you? But it's pretty cute."

"Don't hug each other, there are so many people watching."

She said this and pushed with her hands, but Mei's body still fell into Xu Nuo's arms.

The girl played with her hair and secretly looked around. She was relieved when she found that not many people noticed her.

"Don't worry, we both have no presence in the Fire Moth, and not many people know us."

As soon as Xu Nuo finished speaking, Mebius, who was in the center of the meeting room, also spoke.

"Of course, the most important one among them is Dr. Mei, who inherited my legacy and made many research and breakthroughs in the fields of Honkai energy and quantum!"

As he said this, Mebius raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Mei and Xu Nuo. In an instant, everyone in the banquet hall turned their eyes to look at the two people hugging each other.

Hey... hey hey hey? !

Noticing the playful smile on Mebius's face, Mei knew that she had been tricked.

As expected, what Alicia said was right, Dr. Mobius was narrow-minded.

Chapter 372 Leaving

If it were in the past, Mei might have felt a little shy being stared at by so many people, but now she is no longer the innocent girl she once was.

In more than a year, she has grown enough. Now, she is Mebius's trusted right-hand man and one of the senior decision-making members of the Fire Moth.

The girl first slapped away the man's hand that was playing tricks on her waist, then stood up and tidied her messy clothes, and then walked to the center of the venue under the gaze of everyone.

"I'm very happy to see you all here at this banquet. I am indeed the head of the First Research Institute. You can just call me Dr. Mei. But Dr. Mebius's words are a bit exaggerated. I don't have any real achievements to show for myself. Many of my researches are still at the theoretical level."

Standing in the center of the stage, Mei spoke with aplomb, directly admitting that she still had many shortcomings in her abilities.

In the corner, two young boys looked at the girl standing under the spotlight, with surprise on their faces.

"Ms. Mei's position in the organization is indeed not simple. Here, Kevin, your soulmate is here to speak."

"Don't mention this, okay? It's all in the past."

Faced with his good friend's teasing, Kevin showed a helpless look on his face.

After more than a year of experience in the Fire Moth, Kevin has matured a lot. Now he is no longer the love-brained boy he used to be, but a new warrior that attracts much attention.

Not only did he rank first in various simulated battles, he also performed well in actual crusades.

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised that you can let it go. I thought you would continue to pester me."

"I was young and ignorant before, but now I have experienced so much, so of course there is more than just love in my mind."

Maybe he still has some regrets about the girl he once liked, but obviously he no longer has any thoughts about her.

Kevin now has a more ambitious and greater goal in his heart, which is to defeat the collapse.

"Sister Mei's ability to control the situation is really strong. She is indeed quite suitable to be a manager."

Looking at Mei standing calmly in the center of the venue and talking freely, Alicia spoke with some envy.

He reached out and grabbed the pink-haired girl into his arms, and the latter also hugged the man's neck.

"If you want, you can go up and say a few words. If you want a position, just ask Mobius for one."

"Forget it. I'm not suitable for this kind of career. I'm a fighter, and fighting Honkai beasts is more suitable for me."

"But shouldn't a beautiful girl like a flower be the center of attention, so that more people can see your beauty?"

"Beauty is not something to show off. My Lord God, you are really too superficial."

Obviously, Alicia is not simply narcissistic. The girl seems to have her own understanding of beauty.

Is the way to pure beauty contained therein?

Staring at the girl in his arms, Xu Nuo now increasingly doubts whether she has embarked on the path of pure beauty.

Even he would feel a strange sense of peace when he was with this girl.

A safe haven and a spiritual support, this is probably what it feels like.

Xu Nuo is naturally not that fragile, but he does have a lot on his mind and sometimes gets lost in confusion.

On this planet, he is a god-like existence, but under this starry sky, in the entire universe, he seems too weak and too powerless.

The tragic state of the Immortal Boat in the battle with Shuhu still lingers in his mind. If it were not for the help of the Hunting Star God, even he did not know what the final outcome would have been.

Even with the help of the hunting patrol, the battle was still a tragic victory.

Gods do have their own troubles, and they cannot even tell anyone about these troubles and can only bury them deep in their hearts.

However, the considerate pink-haired girl seemed to have noticed something. She raised her face and stood up with her hands on the man's shoulders.

By the time Xu Nuo came to his senses, the girl had already pressed her lips against his.

Xu Nuo blinked, and Alicia closed her eyes, then wrapped her arms around the man's neck and almost hung on him.

It looked like the girl was comforting herself, but somehow she felt like she was being taken advantage of.

Why do all of you have such a special liking for this kind of thing?

Xu Nuo was a little confused. Men were used to getting straight to the point, while women were more emotional and seemed to focus more on experience and interaction.

"Hehe, how are you? Are you feeling better now, Lord God?"

After a long while, Alicia finally staggered away from the man. Although she was still a little out of breath, the girl still asked with a smile.

"Ellie..."

"Well, I'm here."

"If one day, I want to leave this planet, will you go with me?"

"Hey... why are you suddenly saying this?"

Alicia was slightly stunned, but soon realized that the God did not belong to this world.

He occasionally reveals a lonely and sad expression, which is very distressing to watch.

Alicia understood what that expression meant, it was loneliness.

"You're only taking me with you, what about the others?"

Xu Nuo did not answer, just remained silent.

After a long while, the man scratched his head and spoke helplessly.

"What should I do? Should I pack you all up and take you away, create a space, lock you all in, and arrange you neatly like vases? I... I don't even know where I should go, so how can I take you away from home with me?"

As Xu Nuo said this, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes again.

Xianzhou, can he really go back?

Would Xianzhou really accept me as the Envoy of the Order of Plenty, not to mention that I have devoured the flesh and blood of countless Xianzhou people?

"Then why did you only take me with you? Scumbag!"

Alicia snorted softly and whispered these two words into the man's ear.

Xu Nuo remained silent, but just hugged the girl in his arms a little tighter.

"Don't think too badly of yourself. I think everyone is still willing to follow the Lord God, of course, the prerequisite is to solve the Honkai disaster on this planet. When that time comes, everyone will go to see the starry sky together and travel in the universe. Just thinking about it is very interesting."
