Spread the Word, Chiyou Was Solated by Lin Yu

Bronya didn't know if Lin Yu would suffer a disability like she had in the past, but judging from his current convulsing state, he would probably be in pain for at least half a month.

"Lin Yu... why is this child acting so recklessly!"

Theresa, who had been transported here by Judah, saw Lin Yu's current state and immediately contacted Murata Himeko was still on standby, via communicator.

"Hey Theresa? Kiana and Yuno have made contact with our rescue team. What's the situation now?"

"Himeko, listen to me. You should come out of the Nexus System connection room first. You don't need to risk your life."

"Oh, you've taken care of Chiyou?"

"You might not believe it, but..."

Theresa glanced at Lin Yu, who was being carried away by Fu Hua, and said to Himeko.

"The one who delivered the final blow to Chiyou was actually Lin Yu."

.

A few minutes later, in the Hyperion battleship's command room...

Himeko, who had already returned to the command room, was still processing the information Theresa had given her.

This time, both the conservative and radical factions of the Anti-Entropy- entropy faction sent people to the Nine Nether.

Just like last time, the conservatives at least showed some humanity by sending people to resolve the Honkai.

The radicals, on the other hand, were utterly inhumane. Not only did they not intend to deal with the problems in Nine Nether, they also brought Titan Mech to launch a sneak attack, and the person they sent was even a teenage girl.

Wow, Cocolia really has absolutely no bottom line, right?

However, to put it simply...

Even if Theresa broke through Chiyou's defenses.

Even if Siegfried severely injured Chiyou's heart.

However, Theresa told me that Lin Yu, who was Schicksal agent just a month ago, has now successfully defeated Chiyou...

Previously, some people in the organization were jealous, saying that Lin Yu only managed to resolve those messy things in Changkong City because of a stroke of luck with the HSN drug.

I didn't believe these rumors at the time, but the problem is...

The first battle resolved the Third Honkai Outbreak, and the second battle quelled the Chiyou Rebellion. Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

Are all young people these days so good at fighting?

Chapter 118. Pass it down: Chiyou was killed single-handedly by Lin Yu.

Schicksal Headquarters

After receiving a message from Himeko at Schicksal Headquarters, Otto, who had lost communication with the Hyperion, fell into deep thought.

In fact, when Theresa gave Himeko the information, she explained the whole story.

Himeko, being such a high-achieving student, would certainly not make any mistakes when relaying such a short message.

Even so, Otto still felt that the current situation on site was too outrageous.

The arrival of Anti-Entropy with its mechs, Siegfried's appearance on the battlefield, and even Rita's mistakes didn't seem too outrageous to him.

Aside from Rita's mishap during the mission, which surprised him somewhat, everything else was actually within Otto's calculations.

However, the problem is that the appearance of the Third Divine Key and Chiyou's berserk state were clearly beyond Otto's calculations.

Previously, Otto found some Soul Steel in the corresponding region through the memories remaining in Fu Hua's mind.

Judging from the residual information extracted from those soul steels, even if Chiyou, whose power was sealed by Danzhu and Cangxuan, caused trouble, the Hyperion could suppress him with ordinary main cannon fire.

But now, a Divine Key has appeared within Chiyou's body.

The Divine Key couldn't possibly have been within Chiyou from ancient times, and the possibility of Anti-Entropy finding and using the Third Divine Key during this period...

—That must be zero.

Ghost, Otto's Ace Agent who infiltrated Anti-Entropy, has been gathering intelligence from the radical faction.

Apart from a special base known only to her and a very few researchers, all other intelligence about Cocolia had been obtained by Ghost.

And these intelligence reports clearly did not mention anything about the Third Divine Key.

Furthermore, Theresa mentioned that Cocolia's adopted daughter was present at the scene and had been taken into custody by her in preparation for being taken back to the Hyperion. Therefore, Otto can be fairly certain that this Divine Key has nothing to do with Cocolia.

"Heh, think about it carefully. The probability of an individual possessing the Divine Key is extremely low, and the holder of this Divine Key is very likely the one who broke the seal within Chiyou's body."

Otto tapped the table lightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Interesting. It turns out that besides Anti-Entropy, there are other anti- Honkai organizations standing against Schicksal."

Although he wore a smile, Otto was clearly wary and angry towards the organization.

An organization that knows of Chiyou's existence, allows its members to enter the Nine Nether in advance, and even gives its members the Divine Key must be an organization with a certain foundation.

And to be honest, this organization's actions were actually quite successful.

Chiyou was released, and the Schicksal Force and the Anti-Entropy Force on this side were almost completely wiped out on the spot by Chiyou and the corrupted Ji Lin.

Even when Siegfried and Theresa joined forces to try to suppress Chiyou, they were blocked by Chiyou's characteristics combined with the Divine Key.

If Lin Yu hadn't suddenly unleashed his divine power, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy would have suffered heavy losses this time.

In the end, the other party's plan was actually very successful; they just underestimated Lin Yu's strength as a 'B-Class knight'.

It's not their fault.

After all— Otto didn't know that Lin Yu had become so capable of fighting after just one month.

As for anger, it's naturally because the other party hurt Theresa.

Until certain exceptional circumstances arise, Otto will never let anyone who tries to harm Theresa get away with it.

This group of people had clearly crossed Otto's line.

Compared to all of this, Lin Yu's sudden burst of terrifying combat power is actually a minor matter.

Lin Yu unleashed terrifying combat power, delivering the final blow to Chiyou. Although this was unexpected by Otto, upon closer reflection, it was actually quite reasonable.

First, the Shenzhou script Stigmata engraved on Lin Yu's hand contains terrifying Honkai Energy.

Even Otto, if unprepared, could have his soul steel body injured by this Honkai Energy.

Secondly, Fu Hua passed on the Tai Xu Sword Qi to Lin Yu. Although only a week had passed, the fact that the Crimson Heron Immortal personally passed on his divine skill to a talented young man meant that as long as he practiced diligently, he could at least gain a basic grasp of the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

As for Lin Yu, a vengeful ghost who has always been trying to avenge the Honkai, he probably wasn't serious when practicing the Tai Xu Sword Qi anymore. Otto felt that he was practicing like his life depended on it.

Finally, he obtained the Key of Domination in the Nine Nether, and with the help of the Key of Domination's properties, the Herrscher of Thunder lent her power to Lin Yu.

With so many favorable conditions, Lin Yu managed to break through Chiyou's severely damaged core when Chiyou was on his last breath.

He had done a great service, but Otto didn't think it was that outrageous.

However, facts are one thing, but Otto doesn't need such facts.

In this incident, Siegfried and the Schicksal Force, who were on the side of Anti-Entropy, decisively chose to cooperate when facing Chiyou.

In Otto's view, this was information he didn't want to make public.

Over the years, during the open and covert struggles between Schicksal and Anti- Anti-Entropy, each side has contributed to suppressing the other to some extent. And now, what Otto wants to do is actually the same thing.

Just like during the Second Honkai Eruption, when Otto chose to announce to the world that "Cecilia requested the fission bomb to detonate herself to resolve the Honkai, while Schicksal would resolve the Second Honkai Eruption alone," Otto felt that...

—Anyway, this isn't the first time he's done this. He's already shameless, so continuing to lie is in his best interest. I have absolutely no reason to show him any mercy at this point.

If the Valkyrie Schicksal were to see in the database that 'Anti-Entropy helped Schicksal,' then many things would become difficult to say and do.

For Otto, only the intelligence that was beneficial to him and his plans was considered 'true'.

Siegfried did not contribute to this incident.

The one who defeated Chiyou was not him, but Lin Yu and Theresa.

"Amber."

"What is wrong, Lord Otto?"

Amber, who had been waiting by Otto's side, noticed the slight smile on Otto's Otto and asked him a question.

"Is there any instruction to be conveyed to Lady Theresa?"

"She's no longer the little girl I need to keep caring for. Let her handle the follow-up work at the scene."

"Oh, I see..."

I'll just believe what you say for now.

"Now... well, pass it on."

"It was the Schicksal Knight Lin Yu who defeated the Judgment-class Honkai Beast [Chiyou]."

"After he returns to the Schicksal Headquarters, I will take the initiative to meet with this young hero."

Hyperion Medical Clinic

[Honkai 3rd, open your eyes, I am Sand—]

Wow, don't start with such exciting play!

Lin Yu, who had already regained some consciousness, was immediately stimulated to regain his self-awareness upon hearing this familiar yet eerie voice.

Haha, although I know you're usually a bit of a rascal, but...

But you've long since gotten used to this utterly unreliable and idiotic system, haven't you?

[Furthermore, upon awakening, you are surprised to discover that although you appeared to have sacrificed a great deal while wearing the Lightning Empress, you actually gained much more with a small price to pay.]

Forced to fight Chi You to the Chiyou, you've become, in the eyes of others, a vengeful ghost with no regard for your own life.

With this Lightning Empress outfit, you've perfectly cemented your persona in everyone's eyes.

So?

The good news is, now even if you don't act according to your persona, they'll still think you're just putting on an act to hide your true feelings. You don't need to work so hard to be a movie star anymore.

Yay! But there's bound to be bad news along with good news, right?

[That's ridiculous! Can't good things come in pairs?]

If you don't act according to the established persona, they'll only think you're hiding your true feelings, and then they'll start to pity you more and more without thinking, and if this continues...

[Don't even mention Kiana and Mei, who are already... even Yuno, Fu Hua, and even Theresa and Bronya will eventually become your... your... possessions!]

Ugh, your blocking is practically useless, I'm too lazy to even complain anymore.

Furthermore, to take it a step further, they might even think 'Lin Yu has finally gone mad,' causing their guilt to surge abruptly—even if it's not their fault at all.

[If this continues, as long as your moral standards decline even slightly—]

Then I'll be one step closer to Otto.

[Tch, not falling for it.]

You've known me for a while now, and I've known you for a while now.

Such boring talk... never mind, even if I told you not to say it, you wouldn't stop.

After ending his conversation with the system, Lin Yu began to examine his injuries.

Even though Raiden Mei tried her best to control the Honkai Energy, Lin Yu, who borrowed the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, still paid a price.

The wounds he inflicted himself, the internal injuries from punching himself, and the injuries Theresa accidentally inflicted on him with Judah were all aggravated by the spread of Honkai Energy.

To be honest, if he hadn't been mentally prepared and hadn't gotten somewhat used to the feeling, he would probably be writhing in pain on the hospital bed right now.

However, aside from these issues, the remaining problems... are really not that great.
