Who Are You Calling a Great Hero!

The enormous, bizarre spherical prop, which he didn't know how to describe, shrank in size the moment it appeared.

As it appeared, information about this item also appeared in Lin Yu's mind.

[Special Equipment - Jewel - Swaying Scales (Super Robot Wars Z Series)]

[Equipment Introduction - One of the 'Fragment of Taiji' corresponding to the world view, the Zodiac Jewel that governs 'Judgment'. The holder is called the Jewel Wielder after reaching the second stage. Equipping it grants a corresponding special ability, and new abilities can be gained upon reaching the corresponding awakening stage.]

[Special Ability (Dimensional Force Supply) - An ability that can be used even by those who are not Jewel Wielder, allowing them to channel Dimensional Force as a powerful energy source.]

[Special Ability (Propagation of Willpower) - The Swaying Scales's Pearl Technique allows her to transmit her powerful willpower, which sees through the essence of things, to others, guiding them onto the right path.]

[Note: If the level of awakening is insufficient, overdrawing the power of the gem or the holder being overly attached to certain emotions can cause the holder to be swept away by emotions and lose their judgment.]

[Note 2: By employing appropriate stimuli, the person possessing the pearls and jade can, to some extent, offset the negative effects of 'loss of judgment'.]

[Note 3: The will sought by this jewel is a will that cannot be broken even in hesitation. But in other words, to become Jewel Wielder, since a 'will that cannot be broken even in hesitation' is required, the prerequisite is naturally that the person possessing the jewel must have hesitation within their heart.]

[Further equipment and corresponding skill descriptions are pending unlocking. This equipment description will be updated after the holder reaches the second stage.]

After reading this complicated introduction, Lin Yu could only say...

This system is really lazy.

If someone else saw this description, they probably wouldn't understand just how terrifying the gem "Swaying Scales" truly is.

The problem is that Lin Yu happened to have read about this gem and Dimensional Force.

In the corresponding worldview, Dimensional Force is essentially the power of origin, and after reaching the corresponding 'third stage', the Jewel Wielder can even achieve immortality and some more terrifying things.

Simply put, this thing is incredibly strong. If you can perfectly control this gem, then many problems will no longer be problems.

But...

However, you are well aware of one thing: reaching the highest level of perfection Jewel Wielder is by no means a simple matter.

There are approximately three and a half years until the Battle of Finality, and you have no guarantee that you can reach your 'perfection' within those three and a half years.

Yes, if I cannot awaken myself, then the pearl and jade are just special energy suppliers in my hands.

The potential ceiling for this is indeed extremely high, but for many people, it's simply impossible for them to reach the limit of these rewards.

Just like Magnetic Field Rotation and Saiyan Bloodline, some people think that if they obtain something, they're either Kakarot the Second or the reincarnation of Bai Junlang, but in reality...

— Reaching the level of Raditz and Magnetic Field General is considered quite talented.

But no matter what, having an upper limit is better than getting some useless, abstract thing.

After calming himself down, Lin Yu looked at the exquisite jewelry before him and asked the system a question.

[This thing, shouldn't it also be considered a prop that can be 'implanted'?]

Yes, but after the implantation, you need to be mentally prepared.

[At least for now, this system suggests that you wait until you see the next reward before implanting the pearl into your body.]

Okay.

After putting the pearls and jade back into his storage space, Lin Yu looked at the next deep red item.

The item that appeared before Lin Yu this time was not some special equipment or title, but a Skill Book.

[Skill Book - Special Beam Cannon (Dragon Ball Series)]

[Skill Description - A combat skill created by Piccolo Namekian. Essentially, it involves charging up energy and concentrating it in one's fingers before unleashing a powerful, spiraling beam of energy at the enemy.]

[When using this move, the user cannot move their body until their proficiency is extremely high.]

[Additionally, this move requires a certain amount of time to fully charge after entering the charging state. Please do not do something as foolish as suddenly charging in front of an enemy and getting killed.]

[Note: This move has a power boost when used by Ki Warrior.]

Well, it's a very subtle skill.

While even the weakest Special Beam Cannon can easily blast the moon in one hit, that's only true if the user is Piccolo.

As for me now... well, I'm also lacking a powerful ranged attack skill.

Be content; if it's not a prop with serious problems, then thank God.

Although you say you should be content, you know very well in your heart that desire is the greatest driving force for people to become stronger.

People with insufficient desires are easily satisfied, but once satisfied, they lose their fighting spirit.

In this dangerous world, losing the spirit of perseverance is tantamount to disregarding one's own safety, so what do you think—?

While you're absolutely right, I think I should take a break.

Sigh, how can you be so unambitious?

Although I already guessed what you were going to say, I'll reluctantly listen to your rambling for the sake of the two crimson rewards.

[For someone as familiar with the plot as you are, you know very well what you should be doing right now...]

[—Of course, I'm going to try and win over Bianca and Kiana!]

[He will eventually reach the Heavenly Realm and become the strongest person in history.]

The other will inherit the Power of Finality and become the god of the planet.

[Once you've won them both over, with those two incredibly powerful women around you, what are you to worry about?]

Ignoring the system's subsequent words, Lin Yu speechlessly chose to implant the [Jade Pearl - Swaying Scales] into his body using the 'Implantation' skill.

In the past, Lin Yu had even considered the dreaded question of whether he was still human after having all those weird things implanted in him.

But the question appeared in his mind for three seconds before disappearing completely.

From the moment he had Fragment of the Void Magic Stone within him, he was no longer purely human in terms of physical form.

He didn't know how to define humanity.

He wasn't sure if he was still human.

But at least for Lin Yu, he knew that pursuing these answers was not very meaningful.

Although Welt, as Herrscher, doesn't have particularly outstanding abilities, he is willing to risk his life on the front lines to fight against the Honkai.

On the other hand, there's Cocolia, who's still human... Mentioning that name, those who know, know.

He couldn't be as great as Welt, but at least he could control himself without losing control of his mind and avoid doing anything too bad to harm others.

For Lin Yu, being able to achieve this level was already considered 'qualified' in his eyes.

The implantation process went smoothly. After all, being able to draw this gem meant that Lin Yu, whose birthday is Libra, had been chosen by [Swaying Scales] to some extent.

However, implanting the pearl and jade does not mean that Lin Yu has met the awakening conditions required by the pearl and jade.

With the implantation of the pearl, some knowledge about Dimensional Force even emerged in his mind.

Faced with this knowledge, Lin Yu could only say after a few seconds...

I don't understand it at all.

Before being killed by a dump truck, Lin Yu was just a college graduate from a third-rate university.

Expecting a third-rate college graduate to instantly grasp the essence of Dimensional Force and how to Dimensional Force it is clearly asking the impossible.

[Therefore, as this system has already stated, instead of working hard, it's better to find a powerful ally.]

[This goose's legs are so white and tender, you can play with them if you get them—]

Ugh, that's enough.

I'm really curious about the mental state of the person who created you.

It's one thing to be obsessed with daily life, but how come you also have a split personality?

Who was it that told me in the past that people ultimately have to rely on themselves?

.

Schicksal Headquarters

Inside the Schicksal Headquarters, Otto's trusted Amber looked at the Schicksal members around him and felt that the show Otto had put on this time... was a bit too much.

Admittedly, Lin Yu's achievements this time were indeed significant, but the problem was that she had only seen this kind of prestige from Theresa and Durandal.

Lin Yu... does this young man really deserve such a grand welcoming ceremony from Lord Otto?

A few minutes later, when Lin Yu and Durandal arrived at the lobby of the Schicksal Headquarters from the transport plane, they were immediately stunned by the sight before them.

Lin Yu, in particular, never expected that the Schicksal Headquarters would send so many people to welcome him.

Honestly, is this the treatment a B-Class knight should receive?

Before Lin Yu could react, Amber, a high-ranking official in the Schicksal Mandate, actually walked up to Lin Yu, bowed slightly, and said very respectfully.

"Lord Lin Yu, welcome back to Schicksal."

"Although it's a bit rushed, please do go and meet with Lord Otto, after all..."

"—Lord Otto is now very much looking forward to meeting you."

Hearing Amber's words, Lin Yu maintained an unchanging expression despite his Cold-Faced Hunk demeanor, but inwardly he felt that something was amiss.

The show of force is so grand, even Amber 'Otto confidant Amber is so respectful to me.

They even used the word 'meeting,' which has a special meaning. This is clearly telling me that Otto values me more than before.

For ordinary members of Schicksal, gaining the appreciation of Bishop Otto is undoubtedly a great thing.

However, Lin Yu, who appeared incredibly calm in front of everyone, felt even more panicked after fully understanding what had happened.

Those valued by Otto —well, it's not fair to say that none of them fared well.

In fact, many technicians who were valued by Otto were even kept in Kolosten by him, which not only saved their own lives but also the lives of their families.

But I was valued by Otto, and I was in the front lines, even by Kiana's side...

Although I knew this day would come, it came far too soon.

Can you please tell him to get lost?

The closer he gets to me, the further away good days seem. (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻

Chapter 122. Who are you calling a great hero?!

Otto, in his office, was looking at the brief report that Bronya had sent him through Fu Hua, and began to think about relevant information about Kamiya Pharmaceuticals before meeting Lin Yu.

In the past, he had investigated the company's background.

This company is a pharmaceutical company that emerged directly after the Second Honkai Eruption, and it even controls hard currency like anti- Honkai drugs. For Otto, these characteristics of Kamiya Pharmaceuticals are enough to make him take it seriously.

However, the commercial spies Otto sent out did not bring back much useful information.

This is not to say that Kamiya Pharmaceuticals is clean; in fact, Kamiya Pharmaceuticals is not only not clean, but also quite 'dirty'.

Moreover, this kind of filth is different from the filth that Schicksal and Anti-Entropy secretly conduct human experiments on. Before Cocolia's brain-damaged state, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy still managed to save some face for themselves.

But Kamiya Pharmaceuticals is different; their dirty deeds are out in the open.

After Kamiya Pharmaceuticals achieved great success with its anti- Honkai drugs, the company suddenly began to conduct in-depth research in the field of genetic medicine.

In this process, Kamiya Pharmaceuticals has been exploring various cutting-edge technologies and using radical and even ethically questionable methods to treat patients.

These things didn't require investigation by commercial spies dispatched by Otto; Kamiya Pharmaceuticals' use of people for drug trials and human experiments was practically an open secret.

Countless organizations have condemned Kamiya Pharmaceuticals's actions, but the problem is—they just don't care, so what's the point of your condemnation?

While Kamiya Pharmaceuticals's methods may seem excessive to the average person, their Ankh Aid Project has indeed helped many people.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." Of course, few of those who have received favors from Kamiya Pharmaceuticals would stand up and speak ill of their benefactor.

As for the countries around the world, what Kamiya Pharmaceuticals has done... is actually nothing at all.

If someone provides free aid to your country's people, signs contracts with participants before conducting human trials, and provides sufficient compensation after an accident, then the so-called 'inhumanity' is not a problem at all.

As for Otto, he had even less reason to destroy Kamiya Pharmaceuticals.

Kamiya Pharmaceuticals does indeed harbor many secrets, but this organization is different from the group of guys who oppose Anti-Entropy. The survival of Kamiya Pharmaceuticals is beneficial to Schicksal.
