The child is only fourteen, you wouldn't want to make a move on her!

"Theresa, let me just remind you..."

After hearing Himeko's helpless words, Theresa said to Himeko without turning her head.

"Okay, okay, I'm the Branch Leader and I have to stay here to give orders, right? — This is so annoying! I'm the Branch Leader, but I'm also the headmaster of the St. Freya Academy. The students are in serious trouble and I'm just sitting here? Do you think I'd do something like that?"

"You are in charge of command here, but you are not allowed to use the Nexus System unless absolutely necessary."

No, what I mean is...

Looking at Theresa as she was about to leave, Himeko said helplessly.

"Nine Nether Netherworld is in the sea, aren't you bringing a diving suit and oxygen tank?"

"... Enough with the nonsense! I have Emperor-class genes within me, of course I don't need to worry about these trivial details!"

After watching Theresa walk away quickly from her sight, Himeko put away her helpless expression and immediately spoke calmly to the others in the command room.

"Maximize the radar's detection range, and ensure the main guns of the warship are always ready to be reloaded."

"Those guys from Anti-Entropy are definitely going to cause trouble. If they dare to show their faces in front of us again—we absolutely cannot let them get away with it!"

Deep in the Nine Nether

After being absorbed into another place by the ground beneath their feet, Lin Yu and the other two surprisingly did not faint.

"Pah, pah, pah, how disgusting."

Kiana, who had just stood up from the ground, angrily dusted herself off and looked around in annoyance.

"I want to see which bastard is plotting against us! If I catch this guy... I'm going to give him a hundred punches on the head!"

"Ugh, this feeling of weightlessness... is really uncomfortable."

Yuno gently placed her hand on the ground, looked at the vines that had appeared in front of her and muttered to herself in slight confusion.

"That's strange, my Herrscher Authority are actually working normally here?"

"What exactly is the Nine Nether Netherworld?"

After saying that, Yuno looked at Lin Yu, who had stood up and was motionless, and suddenly became nervous.

Meanwhile, Kiana, having finished her outburst, immediately went to Lin Yu's side with great concern after seeing his current state.

"Senior, your body is still as good as ever—"

"I'm fine."

"Or rather, at least we're okay right now."

After stopping Kiana, Lin Yu looked at the seemingly empty space ahead and became extremely vigilant.

The area in front of them was the very spot where Murata Himeko attacked Kiana and the others after being controlled by the Xuanyuan Sword.

At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword, which should have been placed here, has disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, Lin Yu, who was standing still, could feel a strange sensation coming towards him.

This wasn't murderous intent or malice, but Lin Yu, sensing this unusual feeling, unconsciously took a step back.

"Who... who is this?!"

"Oh my, it can actually sense my presence..."

After Lin Yu shouted anxiously, a figure suddenly walked towards the group from a distance.

However, this figure, who was clearly far away from everyone just moments before, suddenly appeared in front of them after taking a few steps, revealing her true appearance.

"You've really grown a lot, A'yu."

Before Lin Yu and the others, Rita Roseweisse, wielding a golden greatsword, gazed at Lin Yu with a look of satisfaction on her face, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It seems that Senior Ghost has really taught you very well. You have grown to this level without even realizing it."

"Rita..."

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Lin Yu never expected that his opponent here would be Rita Roseweisse.

Yes, now that I think about it carefully, K423 is the most important part of Otto's plan. How could he only send Fu Hua to ensure the other party's safety?

Although Rita's strength is average, as the Executioner of Schicksal, she is proficient in assassination and concealment techniques, making her the best candidate to hide in the shadows and keep an eye on K423.

Furthermore, both her God-Slaying Armor [Argent Knight: Argent Knight: Artemis] and the Stigmata Weapon [Frosty Skadi] have the ability to freeze enemies.

She might not be able to win against a strong opponent, but for her, holding off the weaker one and letting them retreat from the battlefield first is not a difficult task.

But now, Rita is clearly controlled by the Xuanyuan Sword.

I thought only someone like Himeko, A-Class nearing death, would have her mind and body controlled by the Key of Domination.

And now... no, it might be more than just the Key of Domination.

Could Ji Lin's resentment attached to the Xuanyuan Sword also become the factor that led Rita into darkness?

"Sigh, A'yu, why don't you say anything when you see your older sister?"

Seeing Lin Yu, who remained silent and even seemed wary of her, Rita's smile gradually faded, replaced by a sorrowful expression.

"A'yu, what did I do to make you disrespect me like this?"

"I know that you became a knight in the Far East, your strength has improved rapidly, you are living a good life, and you have teachers and close friends who care about you. Perhaps in your eyes, you no longer need an annoying older sister like me who over-controls you."

"But now that you see me, you haven't even said hello..."

"You have no respect for me at all. You don't treat me like family. You're not even willing to call me 'sister'."

At this moment, Rita took a step forward with a heavy heart and then suddenly spoke coldly to Lin Yu.

"I'm really angry."

"Senior, Rita... Miss Rita is acting very strangely right now!"

Looking at Rita's frosty face, Kiana suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression emanating from this Valkyrie.

I, for one, do not yet know what the so-called S-rank Valkyrie means, but now...

—Is this the oppressive aura of the strongest warrior of Schicksal?!

Seeing the panicked expression on Kiana's face, Rita calmly said to Kiana.

"Oh dear, Miss Kiana, didn't your father, Mr. Siegfried, tell you...?"

"Is it really that rude to interrupt other people's conversations?"

Despite the enormous size of the golden sword in Rita's hand, Rita effortlessly swung it with one hand, unleashing a golden sword aura at Kiana.

"Whispering sound."

Lin Yu pushed Kiana away and instantly activated the skills Mirror Mind and Royal Guard, accurately blocking the attack while storing its power within his body.

But Kiana, who had been pushed to the side, only slowly came to her senses and realized...

My body was already soaked in cold sweat.

Long, long ago, she had this feeling when her father, Siegfried, tried to kill Honkai Beast himself after getting drunk.

At that time, Kiana had no idea how terrifying the Flame-Chaser's Judgment dual pistols were.

Kiana, who went out with the Flame-Chaser's Judgment, only discovered after encountering Honkai Beast that she was completely unable to use Siegfried's weapon.

If Siegfried hadn't arrived in time, Kiana might have been killed on the spot by that Honkai Beast.

After this memory flooded her mind, Kiana realized that if Lin Yu hadn't blocked the attack for her in time, Kiana might already be dead under Rita's sword.

After all these years, I still feel... fear because of this?

After realizing this, Kiana was shocked to discover that she was perhaps exactly the same person she was years ago.

In the past, she relied on Siegfried to protect her, which is why she was able to fight the Honkai Beast.

Now, whether she's in Changkong City or Nine Nether, it's all thanks to Lin Yu's protection that she's able to survive safely.

As a result, so much time has passed...

—Am I, in essence, still a burden?

"Oh dear, A'yu, why are you looking at your sister like that?"

Looking at Lin Yu, who was already prepared for battle, Rita took another step forward.

"You're such a naughty child. And a naughty, bad child..."

"—They really should have been taught a good lesson."

After saying that, Rita walked lightly towards Lin Yu step by step.

"But don't worry, A'yu, I'm still your older sister."

"You are, after all, my beloved younger brother. I will not kill you."

"As long as I can break your arms and legs, you child..."

"—Once they realize their own weakness, they'll obediently give up the idea of seeking revenge against the Honkai."

Chapter 110. This child is only fourteen years old. You don't intend to harm her, do you?

At this moment, Yuno and Kiana, who had just gotten up, finally understood the feelings of the girl who Anti-Entropy.

When a powerful figure radiating terrifying pressure slowly approaches, this deliberate advance only amplifies the oppressive aura emanating from her.

The two people watching Rita finally understood—who Lin Yu had learned his action when facing the enemy.

Although they are not related by blood, they are indeed siblings.

Even their fighting habits are so similar.

"Yuno."

At this moment, looking at Rita slowly walking towards him, Lin Yu asked Yuno behind him.

"Can your Herrscher's Poison handle Rita?"

"Logically speaking, my poison can suppress even the headmistress who has Emperor-class Honkai Beast genes within her, so using this poison to suppress Miss Rita should be no problem, but..."

Looking at Rita in front of her, Yuno asked Lin Yu anxiously.

"Isn't Miss Rita your sister? We..."

"Don't overthink it. At a time like this, we have no right to 'hold back' in front of her."

In an instant, Lin Yu and Rita disappeared from their sight.

"Wow, that's a quick reaction."

When the two figures reappeared, Lin Yu had already blocked Rita's attack with his gauntlet-clad hands.

Facing her opponent, Rita chuckled and began to apply even greater force to the hilt of her sword.

"I have to say, I'm really happy to see A'yu grow to this level."

However, gazing at the woman before him, Lin Yu did not respond to her words, but instead addressed the two people behind him.

"Rita Roseweisse is S-rank Valkyrie. The three of us newbies are the 'weak' ones in front of her."

"At a time like this, thinking about holding back is just asking for trouble. If you want to survive, give it your all."

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to speak so highly of my sister, but..."

At this moment, Rita, who was suppressing Lin Yu with her greatsword, suddenly changed her expression and kicked Lin Yu in the abdomen.
