Someone in Honkai, This Narration Isn't Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Path

At times like this...

A little push is all it takes to complete her plan.

.

Chapter 22: What's a Little Sacrifice!

Cocolia's plan was actually quite simple.

Ultimately, their side in Anti-Entropy was on par with Schicksal in terms of lower-tier combatants.

But the problem was—the gap in upper-tier combatants was far too great.

Anti-Entropy's upper-tier combatants, to put it bluntly, were only their leader, Welt Yang. The remaining combat power was just Titans and Titans—was there even a difference?

Siegfried was indeed an ally of Anti-Entropy, but the man with the severed arm was no longer the world-saving strongest person he once was.

The current situation was that Welt Yang, due to severe injuries, was missing and presumed gone.

Siegfried had joined forces with Anti-Entropy, but his combat power was less than a tenth of its peak.

The disparity in upper-tier combatants between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal was too vast. If even the slightest mistake were made, Schicksal could completely leverage its superior upper-tier forces to gain a significant advantage.

Under these circumstances, Raiden Ryoma actually used the Gem of Conquest to seal Raiden Mei's stigmata—how could Cocolia tolerate this?

If Raiden Mei could awaken, and the Gem of Conquest could fully unleash its intended power, then Cocolia could simply capture Raiden Mei and obtain a perfect Gem of Conquest.

Whether it was used on the Father or the Moonlight Throne afterwards, it would be far more powerful than leaving the gem inside a young girl.

It was from that moment on that Cocolia began plotting against Raiden Ryoma.

Raiden Ryoma was an intelligent man, and a competent businessman.

ME Company was flourishing under his leadership. If things continued this way, Raiden Ryoma's position within the organization would only become more secure.

However, his intelligence didn't mean he was without flaws.

By exploiting a business loophole of Raiden Ryoma's, Cocolia succeeded in sending her old colleague to prison and seizing control of ME Company.

Besides taking over ME Company, Cocolia had another reason for sending Raiden Ryoma to prison.

According to the analysis of organizational data, the awakening of a Herrscher required a suitable host, and the host's state of mind needed to be desperate or near despair.

Cocolia knew that Raiden Ryoma doted on his daughter. As long as he could still act normally, Cocolia couldn't bypass Ryoma to attack Mei's heart.

After destroying Raiden Mei's emotional pillar, her state of mind would certainly not be as cheerful as before.

Then, with a few small tricks, such as coercion and enticement, Cocolia could make the people around Raiden Mei begin to harbor ill will towards her. It was a sure thing that Raiden Mei would step by step into despair.

After contacting Raiden Mei's classmates, Cocolia even discovered that coercion wasn't necessary; a little enticement was enough. The students who were once close to Mei now resolutely bared their fangs at her.

Everyone harbors jealousy, and it wasn't strange for them to kick someone when they were down, especially if that someone was someone they were once jealous of.

Originally, according to Cocolia's plan, as long as she followed this pace, she could have forced Raiden Mei to become a Herrscher step by step.

But unfortunately, something unexpected happened.

First, Siegfried's daughter, Kiana Kaslana, appeared.

She chose to stand by Raiden Mei's side, which significantly improved the mood of the girl who was already on the verge of despair.

If it were anyone else, Cocolia would have already moved to deal with her.

But... it just had to be this girl.

Cocolia hadn't forgotten that she had nearly died during the Second Honkai War, and it was a woman with snow-white hair who had saved her.

According to her subsequent investigation, that woman's identity was Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, a great hero who died in the Second Honkai War.

The woman named Cecilia Schariac was Cocolia's savior, as well as Siegfried Kaslana's wife and Kiana Kaslana's mother.

No matter how ruthless Cocolia was, she couldn't bring herself to directly kill her savior's daughter.

As for the person sent to warn her...

It could only be said that she was truly Cecilia's daughter.

She could really fight. Ten, even eight, ordinary people sent after her would be easily dealt with. Cocolia had no choice.

What made Cocolia even more annoyed was that it wasn't just Kiana; other elements hindering Cocolia's plan had also appeared.

Lin Yu.

This exchange student who inexplicably appeared at Chiba Academy also disrupted Cocolia's plan.

He had helped Raiden Mei more than once. And just this morning, when Cocolia was preparing to have those female students "intensify" things for Raiden Mei, Lin Yu directly intervened and beat up those students.

It was precisely because of this that Cocolia seized the opportunity to mess with Raiden Mei's emotions again when both Lin Yu and Kiana were away from school.

The umbrella was destroyed by those brats.

The robbers were hired by her.

Coupled with Cocolia's use of Anti-Entropy's electronic warfare capabilities to interfere with the nearby signals, even if Raiden Mei wanted to contact these two, she would only fail because the phone wouldn't connect.

Everything was ready. Now...

—As long as her mood deteriorates further, my plan will be one step closer to success.

Schicksal's reinforcements have been arriving in increasing numbers.

Those two idiots, Tesla and Einstein, are still dragging me down...

Tch, these guys have no idea how serious this is.

In the face of saving humanity...

—what are millions of sacrifices?

Lin Yu, who had completely lost track of Kiana in the commercial district, felt his head start to ache.

He tried to contact Rita, but she didn't respond.

He searched the streets for a long time, asking a bunch of people, and found out that more than one person had seen the white-haired girl. However, by the time Lin Yu followed the directions those people pointed him in—Kiana was too fast, he definitely wouldn't be able to see her.

Ah, this time the trouble is really big.

And Rita isn't replying to my messages, so it seems she's probably busy with something.

And something that requires an S-rank Valkyrie like Rita to act... what could it be?

Is Anti-Entropy no longer planning to hide and has decided to make its move directly???

[Ding! Detected that the host meets the conditions for claiming rewards. Rewards have been sent to the system mailbox.]

Huh?

Wait??

What the heck???

Hearing the voice in his head, Lin Yu froze on the spot.

According to the system, I'll receive rewards when I overcome a survival crisis and when I'm about to face a major crisis.

Overcoming a survival crisis... I don't see what survival crisis I just went through.

So, in other words, this reward is for the other situation.

No, wait, I only lost track of Kiana for such a short time, and you're telling me a survival crisis has arrived?

How petty can Otto be about this, seriously!

Chapter 23: One is One, Two is Two

In the past, as a Honkai Impact 3rd player...

Alright, his phone isn't good enough to run Honkai Impact 3rd.

As a cloud player of Honkai Impact 3rd, Lin Yu had seen readers give Otto high praise in related fanfiction more than once.

Oh, and not just readers, authors too.

According to their descriptions, Otto should be an undoubtedly calculating, very friendly to ordinary people, and mostly reliable superior.

Humanity has survived to this day entirely thanks to Otto—that's what they said.

These people saw the achievements of Otto leading Schicksal, but they forgot that the achievements of Schicksal fighting the Honkai did not belong to Otto alone.

Damn it, while the Valkyries and Knights were fighting for their lives on the front lines, Otto would command them but also stab them in the back. To say that Otto saved the world is f***ing ridiculous.

As for why Lin Yu is rambling so much right now.

It's obvious, he's Otto's subordinate now.

And a subordinate who might very well be killed by Otto.

Under the pressure of survival, he felt he was already being very calm by just rambling a few sentences instead of directly cursing.

[Hmph, Otto? Just a green-haired turtle from the fanfiction community... Oh wait, he's a green-haired turtle in the official community too.]

[Correction: Just a green-haired turtle who is persecuted in both official and fan communities. With the cheat you have, he poses no threat at all.]

[It's estimated that after he thought about killing you, you looked at the super invincible, powerful 'randomly created Narration System' and have completely calmed down.]

Calm my ass—if you're going to brag about yourself, at least be useful.

[You silently thought that you would remember this grudge.]

This narration that carries personal bias...

Never mind, let's check the rewards first.

Forcing down his anxiety and irritation, Lin Yu opened his system mailbox.

And then...

[Ding! The rewards claimed by the host this time are (Special Item - Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket) and (Special Item - Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket).]

Ah, are they already starting to pad the word count openly?

[No, because the rewards are drawn independently, these are two separate rewards, so they must be sent separately.]

Oh, I see, two rewards...

Two??

"That's right, the host needs to survive two crises."

"One is one, two is two. This system isn't like those exploitative systems that cheat their hosts; we won't shortchange you."

Well, that's... thanks a lot!

But the question is, where are these two survival crises coming from?!

I know this world is dangerous, but is it this dangerous...

Oh, this is Changkong City. That explains it.

After all, this is Changkong City, home to Thunder, Void, Previous Era Erosion, and the Current Era Pseudo-Herrschers Yae Sakura and Pseudo-Herrscher Yuno.

And with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy likely to clash here, even without those Herrschers, getting caught in the crossfire between these two major organizations would mean...

Oh, wait.

I'm with Schicksal.

I beat up Anti-Entropy's Saint.

The chance of dying just increased.

Looking at it this way, only needing to survive two survival crises is actually pretty good luck, hahahahahaha.

"Yes, that's the spirit! You need that kind of confidence—believe in yourself, you're the chosen one, you're invincible!"

Chosen one, my foot! Can't you tell I'm on the verge of a breakdown from my tone?!

At this moment, Lin Yu looked at the two lottery tickets and used them without hesitation.

I'm in a bad mood, so I'll just grumble for a bit.
