Sen~ior~ is~ amazing!
Then, in the next second, Kiana suddenly heard some noise.
Then, Kiana, who had heard the commotion, turned around on her horse and saw a 'meteor' suddenly fall from the sky and stand between her and the Honkai Beast.
At that moment, before the smoke cleared, Kiana's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.
Could this figure be...?
"Ah, this kind of landing is quite exciting to try once in a while."
After the smoke cleared, Lin Yu turned to Kiana and said.
"But considering you thought I was too extreme last time, please don't follow my example, Kiana."
"After all, if you're not prepared to do this, you might throw up."
Seeing Lin Yu's figure, Kiana almost burst into tears.
Senior... he really is a senior!
I only thought about it for a moment, and he really came to save me!
However, the fact that Lin Yu landed on the ground did not mean that the cat, who was still chasing Kiana, would stop.
Sensing the appearance of a new enemy, the cat did not stop but instead rammed its body into the man in front of it.
"Oh, it's you."
Looking at the large cat in front of him, Lin Yu clenched his right fist.
The moment Lin Yu assumed this fighting stance, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast named Stan suddenly felt a terrifying sense of oppression emanating from him.
It's too late to stop now, but...
—How can this human possess such terrifying Honkai Energy intensity without even wearing combat armor?!
At this moment, the Jackal was watching Stan's actions through the surveillance system, saw Lin Yu's current posture and said coldly to Stan.
"Lin Yu... Hmph, he's just a brat who rose to power through luck. Don't be afraid, just run into him and—what?!"
Amidst the Jackal's exclamation, Lin Yu, having fully gathered his power, exhaled a deep breath and then punched Stan in the head.
"Galaxy Cosmic Phantom!"
When the punch slammed into Stan's head with incredible speed, the already terrified Stan felt his mind go completely blank.
In Kiana's view, the once ferocious Emperor-class Honkai Beast was now completely subdued by Lin Yu's punch...
—After he forcefully slammed its head into the ground, it instantly transformed back into that seemingly unapproachable little kitten.
Chapter 127. Senior is so awesome!
Before Lin Yu made his move, Jackal thought that the man named Lin Yu was just a kid who rose to power by luck.
After all, according to feedback from World Serpent's spies embedded within Schicksal, Lin Yu had HSN Serum in his possession when he was in Changkong City.
Raven had also observed in Changkong City that Siegfried was trying to leave Changkong City with Raiden Mei, and then the Third Honkai Outbreak broke out in the suburbs.
The person who defeated the Herrscher of Thunder might indeed be Lin Yu, but the Herrscher of Thunder must have been severely injured by Siegfried before that.
Of course, from an objective point of view, even when facing a heavily injured Herrscher of Thunder, Lin Yu's ability to suppress the opponent with the HSN Serum is quite impressive.
But even if he is strong, can he fight against Emperor-class Honkai Beast?
As for the new intelligence brought back by the spy, Jackal didn't believe a single word of it.
Otto did start building momentum for Lin Yu within Schicksal, but the problem is that Jackal aren't the bunch of good-for-nothings that Schicksal.
As a high-ranking official of the World Serpent, how could she not know just how terrifying Chiyou was?
Not only Jackal, but Gray Serpent had also seen the information that 'Lin Yu defeated Chiyou'.
However, according to Gray Serpent's analysis, the strongest people present at the time, besides Hua, the Previous Era Fusion Warrior, were Siegfried and Theresa, both users of the Divine Key.
Hua clearly didn't make a move, so the only remaining strong individuals are Siegfried and Theresa.
Rather than Lin Yu defeating Chiyou, Gray Serpent believes that the truth is that Siegfried and Theresa activated the zeroth fixed power of their respective Divine Key and joined forces to defeat Chiyou.
As for why the credit fell to Lin Yu, that involves some other issues.
During the Third Honkai Outbreak, Siegfried's public identity was still that of a traitor to Schicksal.
During the chaos of the Nine Nether, although Otto lifted the warrant for his arrest, Siegfried did not return to Schicksal, which was actually a way of showing that he did not want to return to Otto's command.
It is precisely because 'Siegfried is not a member of Schicksal now' that Otto does not want others to know that Siegfried was the main force in these two major battles.
Otto has done this before.
During the Second Honkai Eruption, Welt Yang, the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy, arrived at the scene immediately after the Herrscher of the Void awakened, and chose to join forces, setting aside his grudges and Schicksal.
In the subsequent battle, the Herrscher of Reason was even physically destroyed in her duel with the Herrscher of the Void, all for the sake of humanity.
If it weren't for the Herrscher of Reason's unique properties that allowed him to repair his body, he would be completely dead by now.
Meanwhile, the conservative enforcers of Anti-Entropy also dispatched mechs to assist Schicksal in fighting the Honkai Beast during this great battle.
Although Gray Serpent's intelligence network was insufficient for him to see the full picture of the events, judging from his grasp of Anti-Entropy's intelligence, Anti-Entropy should also be secretly relying on two conservative doctors to analyze intelligence and launch a surprise attack on the Herrscher of the Void to retrieve the Gem of Conquest.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain how they were able to seize the Conquest of Thunder, one of the Four Great Gems.
Anti-Entropy, after paying such a heavy price to fight against the Honkai, what did Otto do?
He chose to lie directly, announcing to the public that Schicksal had single-handedly fought against the Second Herrscher.
For those in the know, this statement denying the achievements of Anti-Entropy is undoubtedly the worst kind of lie.
The problem is that there are not many people in the know. Not many of the five hundred Valkyrie of Schicksal survived that incident. Even if someone knew that Anti-Entropy had fought against the Honkai, they wouldn't directly confront their superiors and spread rumors that "Bishop Otto is lying."
As for why Otto did this, in the end, whether it's a lie like "Honkai fought against the Schicksal alone" or "Schicksal member Lin Yu made great contributions," it's still much better than the truths like "Schicksal and Anti-Entropy cooperated" or "Schicksal saved Shenzhou with the help of the traitor Siegfried."
As for why this achievement wasn't attributed to Theresa, Gray Serpent wasn't quite sure either.
However, upon closer examination, Gray Serpent thought that perhaps Theresa, who had not achieved great merit, had given up this achievement in order to cultivate a successor.
With a highly intelligent intelligence analyst like Gray Serpent backing him up, Jackal certainly wouldn't think Lin Yu was any kind of expert.
It wasn't until Lin Yu threw that punch that Jackal, looking at the unconscious Stan on the ground, realized...
—This information might, perhaps, possibly be true?
Moreover, only after Lin Yu unleashed that punch did the Jackal begin to carefully examine the equipment on his opponent's body.
The second-generation knight armor that Lin Yu wore last time was basically destroyed after he threw that punch, because Lin Yu used the Herrscher Authority of Thunder.
The third-generation knight armor was expensive to manufacture, and since there were only a few knights in Schicksal, there were no spare armors available for Lin Yu to use temporarily.
Although Otto stated that he was already developing a 'Fourth Generation God-Slaying Armor' suitable for Lin Yu, due to the aforementioned reasons, the only equipment Lin Yu currently has on display is the Tai Xu Grip in his hand.
Stan's power is considered to be among the stronger ones among the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, but when facing Lin Yu, it could only withstand a charged punch from Lin Yu when he was not wearing armor.
Even the intelligence analyzed by Gray Serpent was flawed?
Kiana and Lin Yu, who were present at the scene, were actually no less shocked than Jackal.
Kiana knew that Lin Yu had a powerful move that could destroy dozens of Titans, but Lin Yu's current ability to bring down Emperor-class Honkai Beast with a single punch was clearly beyond her comprehension.
As for Lin Yu himself...
—What the hell? I just used Cosmic Phantom to punch Stan in the head.
Can I instantly kill Emperor-class opponent right now?
No, that's not right, something's not amiss.
If I were to combine multiple special powers, and then rely on the Royal Guard to block and charge up before unleashing a Cosmic Phantom or Hai Hu Explosive Fist, it would be reasonable for it to fall down.
But given the current situation...
Wait, I think I understand now.
Recalling the plot of Holiday in the Foggy City, Lin Yu looked at Stan with a sudden surge of complex emotions.
In the original work, both Stan and Rita, who wore the God-Slaying Armor and wielded the Frostfire Skadi, Rita Stigmata Weapon, were able to find an opportunity to escape unscathed after injuring Rita.
The reason Stan retreated was because his transformation time had reached its limit, not because Stan felt he couldn't defeat Rita.
Therefore, from this perspective, the probability that Lin Yu could kill him instantly with a single punch without being serious is actually quite small.
Rather than believing the improbable event of him instantly killing Stan, Lin Yu was more inclined to believe...
—This cat was actually scared.
After being punched away by Durandal, Stan detected that the opponent was extremely strong, so he immediately deactivated his transformation and entered "cute mode".
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the cat curled up on the ground, trembling, but whose Honkai Energy intensity was actually not low.
Wow, what a coward.
As Lin Yu walked up to the cat, he was not surprised to find that the cat was trembling even more violently.
At this moment, when Stan saw Lin Yu squat down with a smile and lift him into the air with one hand, he felt that his cat life was facing an unprecedented crisis.
As a ruler of cats who has endured countless hardships, Stan shouldn't be such a coward, kneeling down at the first sight of someone.
Just seconds before, the proud cat overlord Stan was still imagining how he would receive even more delicious special rations from his superior, Jackal, after completing his mission.
But everything changed after this man appeared.
The moment Lin Yu landed and launched his attack, Stan suddenly felt the aura emanating from the man in front of him surge and overwhelm him.
Judging from the energy gathered in Lin Yu's right fist, Stan didn't think this punch could directly cripple him.
The problem is that cats have very strong intuition.
At that moment, Stan's intuition was frantically telling him one thing.
It might not die from this punch.
But if it continues to stand in front of this man, it's hard to say whether it will survive.
Having been a stray for so long, this cat understands one thing well.
There is an old Shenzhou saying, "Those who understand the times are heroes."
In order to survive, sometimes you do need to have a little bit of flexibility in your bottom line.
If standing will kill you, then why stand at all!
Kneeling down is no big deal when it comes to survival.
Survival is nothing to be ashamed of.
Meow~
Kiana, who had come with Lin Yu, let out a cute meow when she saw the cat in Lin Yu's hand, and then felt that something was wrong with this world.
Did the senior's punch completely subdue the cat?
"Hey, since you're so sensible, I feel a little awkward about taking action directly."
Seeing Stan start acting cute like crazy, Lin Yu ignored the cat's comical behavior and turned to look at Kiana.
"Kiana, what did this guy just do?"
"What is it? This cat has been following me all the way here since it saw me."
Looking at the cat, Kiana suddenly said in an annoyed tone.
"What an adorable kitten—did you think I would say that?"
"I'll settle the score with you! How dare you cause trouble on my... aunt's turf! You've gone too far!"
"Meow meow meow (I didn't do it on purpose, it's all the Jackal's fault)!"
At this moment, Stan, who had decisively betrayed his former superior, recalled something with immense sorrow after shouting wildly.
The two people in front of me are human... well, one is a human girl, and the other is definitely a humanoid war machine.
They don't understand cat language, and even if I wanted to surrender, I didn't seem to have any way to tell them the information.
Oh no, this is a big problem.
