"I think it would be important for you to give this armor a suitable name."

Ah, if possible, I still hope you'll just let me go like a kite.

However, this is obviously impossible.

I used to think that Otto would be too busy dealing with the World Serpent to care about me.

But in retrospect, this was clearly a serious mistake.

Even when this guy is in a hurry, most of the time he secretly hides behind the scenes and stirs up trouble, letting others go to the front lines to fight for him.

As for Otto going to the front lines several times before the original plan was fully completed...

The first time, Joyce punched him in the face with Judah fist, and then, in a fit of rage, threw a fission bomb.

The second time, he was Siegfried in the face by Kaslana's Kaslana Fist, and could only endure it until it exploded later, but then he lost the fission bomb.

The third time, he met the pseudo- Herrscher of Death, and this time at least he didn't mess things up.

The fourth time, Fu Hua had already helped him deal with Sirin, but he delayed for too long, indirectly causing Fu Hua to lose her memory and Cheng Lixue to die in battle.

The fifth time, Raven took it down in one shot. What's there to say?

Thinking about it this way, Otto probably stayed in the back camp because he was afraid of being beaten.

Going to the front lines himself would never end well. In this situation, letting others risk their lives while he stays in the rear is both in his interest and in line with his personality.

This armor looks pretty good.

Ah, I must wear this armor someday and smash Otto's head in.

"Names aren't actually that important."

At this moment, Lin Yu looked at the armor and casually said something to Otto.

"But since Your Excellency has said so..."

"Zero Knight. Moon Shadow, let's use this name."

Upon hearing this name, Otto immediately fell into deep thought.

Then, he shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Do you really have to be like this?"

???

No, I was just saying a name off the top of my head.

Bishop Otto, you're supposed to be the intellectual ceiling of this world, surely you don't have to imagine everything just because I casually mention a name.

Seeing Lin Yu remain silent, Otto dropped his wry smile, his face now showing only helplessness.

"Zero represents nothingness, while the word 'yin' in Shenzhou characters means hidden, quiet, concealed, and lurking."

"You use such an empty name... Sigh, I really don't know what to say about you."

At this point, Otto surprisingly spoke to Lin Yu with a hint of concern.

"Young man, I've seen far too many vengeful ghosts like you in the past five hundred years."

"Those who are obsessed with revenge will eventually be consumed by hatred."

"I have also studied the I Ching in Shenzhou. Based on the Five Elements analysis, the 'Hidden Moon' combination of Wood and Earth indicates that Wood controls Earth, making Wood dominant."

"This name suggests a strong will and a refusal to admit defeat, while the person has a kind and serene appearance."

"However, at the same time, this name also represents volatile emotions, poor patience, impulsiveness, a tendency to act on impulse, and a stubbornness that can lead to unexpected losses."

"Ever since you named the armored vehicle that, I've seen serious security risks in you."

"You usually seem very strong-willed. Even after failing the review, you still wanted to do something big, which shows that you are definitely not someone who gives up easily."

"But at the same time, your actions were indeed reckless and did not heed Rita and Bianca's advice. In your impulsiveness, you almost died in Changkong City."

Egg, this was clearly an accident, okay?

Oh, I acted in part of it. Never mind then.

"If possible, I still hope you don't take revenge so seriously."

"Life is precious, and people should cherish their own lives."

... Fine, I just randomly filled in three words according to the format of X Knight. Moon X.

Why can you conjure up at least a 500-word essay in your mind?

At this moment, looking at Otto in front of him, Lin Yu suddenly realized that he had really fooled him.

However, in order to maintain his 'proper' persona at the time, Otto now thinks he is just belligerent and wants to fight, which will inevitably lead him to step onto more dangerous battlefields in the future.

So, is the [Aigis System] mentioned in this design a power shield system created in case I die out there?

He really made me cry my eyes out.

Bishop Otto, to repay you, I will definitely use the Tai Xu Grip to beat your Soul Steel face to a pulp in the future.

Otto, who had no idea what Lin Yu was thinking, looked at the still silent Lin Yu and assumed that Lin Yu was too afraid to speak after he had seen through his thoughts.

In this situation, Otto could only say—sigh, young people's minds are so easy to understand.

I actually thought he might pose some kind of threat to me before, but it seems I was overthinking it.

He has some thoughts, but not many.

Overall, his only idea was to kill the Honkai. To me, he was just a low-level Bianca who lacked power but had some brains.

Like Bianca, she would obey my orders, even though I am a villain, in order to fight against the Honkai, unlike Siegfried, who would recklessly raise his weapon against the enemy he has identified.

I can feel a little more at ease now. As long as he doesn't die out there, everything else will be easier to handle.

"Okay, if you like this name, then I'll register it as my official name."

"As for what to do in the future—that's up to you to decide."

After saying those two sentences, Otto cut off the communication, leaving Lin Yu bewildered and staring blankly at the armor design drawings in front of him.

Wow, if I didn't know what breed of dog you are, I probably would have been moved to death by these words.

But for now... never mind, let's look at the design drawings.

The dangers we face will only increase in the future, so in this situation, being able to stack armor is definitely not a bad thing.

As a result, the armor designed by Otto can now, on top of its original defenses, continue to allow me to deploy an energy shield directly through the 'Honkai Energy Burst' characteristic.

Oh, this thing that Otto named the Aegis System can not only deploy a shield using Honkai Energy, but it can also transform Honkai Energy into a second layer of armor to wrap around my body.

Meanwhile, while Zero Knight: Moonshadow visibly has a boost in point-blank combat, there is another system attached to this armor.

[Brionac System/ Magic Spear System].

In Celtic mythology, the sun god Lugh wields a magical spear called Brionac.

This demonic spear, which signifies 'penetration,' is said to transform into five beams of light when thrown, each attacking a different enemy.

The [Brionac System], which borrows this name, can not only fire light guns at five different enemies after completing the Honkai Energy condensation, just like the legendary Brionac, but it can also condense Honkai Energy into an even more powerful light gun, which can be used as a javelin to pierce through the enemy's body.

To be honest, for Lin Yu, who appears to be skilled in hand-to-hand combat, this system was not exactly easy to use.

But from these two systems, Lin Yu could sense that Otto was genuinely afraid of him dying out there.

In terms of defense, Lin Yu, who knew the characteristics of other people's armor, had never seen anyone else's God-Slaying Armor stacked so thickly.

On the offensive end, Otto's Magic Spear System was clearly a blatant hint to Lin Yu that if he could kill enemies from a distance, he should do so, instead of constantly engaging in melee combat, which was far too dangerous.

Honestly, even knowing that the other party was planning to take advantage of him, Lin Yu couldn't deny that Otto was genuinely concerned about him.

If he were just a vengeful ghost trying to avenge the Honkai, Lin Yu would probably be genuinely moved to tears by now.

After realizing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh that when Otto was seeking personal gain, he would definitely want to extract more interest from him.

Although Otto was to protect the offerings to K423, he almost managed to win people's hearts through the design of his armor and some persuasive words.

If this ability isn't used for bad things, Lin Yu really wouldn't mind helping Otto fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Unfortunately, nothing in this world can be perfect.

If Otto really stops being a bad guy, then he will no longer be the 'Otto' he used to be.

Trying to banish these thoughts from his mind, Lin Yu forced himself to focus on the armor's design blueprints.

In terms of defense, he can indeed be greatly enhanced by the Aegis System.

As someone who is afraid of death, how could he possibly complain that his armor is too thick?

On the offensive end, although the Magic Spear System seems to overlap with the Special Beam Cannon, there are still some differences between the two when you look into them.

The Magic Spear System fires Spear of Light that can instantly attack different enemies from different angles, and judging from the estimated time from its condensation to its release, the casting speed of this thing is ridiculously fast.

Although the Special Beam Cannon is much more destructive, and Lin Yu can modify it to some extent through Precision Operation, the activation time is still a major drawback.

Overall, this armor is indeed a divine set that can greatly enhance Lin Yu's strength at this stage.

However, after receiving the benefits, Otto will definitely torment me even more.

So I guess I should just go to sleep and continue rolling around in my dreams.

Only by strengthening our own capabilities as soon as possible can we break free from this state of being controlled by others.

Just as Lin Yu was about to activate the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Lin Yu, are you asleep?"

Lin Yu, who was in bed, heard Fu Hua's voice and said helplessly to her.

"The door wasn't locked."

"I see."

At this moment, Fu Hua, dressed in white pajamas, stared blankly at Lin Yu on the bed and the light screen that appeared in front of him.

"What's this?"

"Ah, this? Bishop Otto said he made me a set of armor so I could test its performance."

Following Fu Hua's utterly shocked gaze, Lin Yu realized that the look in Fu Hua's eyes when she saw the design drawings for this God-Slaying Armor was clearly not right.

Ah, that's enough. These people are probably just making things up again.

I'm too lazy to guess anymore. Think whatever you want.

Fu Hua, recovering from her shock, realized that her emotions were starting to run wild.

During this week, because Lin Yu and Fu Hua were constantly on missions in different regions, Fu Hua did not have the opportunity to meet with Lin Yu alone in private.

Only after the two of them returned to their dormitory today did she finally find an opportunity to use Feathered Dust to hypnotize Lin Yu, so that he would better keep his healing abilities a secret.

But now, seeing that Lin Yu had actually obtained the God-Slaying Armor, Fu Hua suddenly felt a little... subtly uncomfortable.

Of course, she wouldn't harbor any strange jealousy towards Lin Yu.

In fact, Lin Yu obtained his God-Slaying Armor, which should normally be a good thing for Lin Yu.

Fu Hua, who hopes Lin Yu can survive, should also be happy about this.

But this timing is really wrong.

After Xiola betrayed the world and joined Schicksal, World Serpent changed its original style and began to show its strength directly on the international stage, with Singapore as its ally.

In fact, Singapore's demonstrated strength during this period has already made some smaller countries somewhat restless.

For someone Fu Hua, who has been fighting against the Honkai for over 50,000 years, she is well aware that the Simulated Herrscher and Herrscher is vastly different.

But for the leaders of ordinary small countries, Simulated Herrscher... is still Herrscher no matter what.

Now that Singapore has the capability to mass-produce Simulated Herrscher, if getting close to them offers the chance to obtain this power, who wouldn't want to give it a try?

There were, of course, no fools who openly and directly confronted Schicksal.

However, Fu Hua estimates that there are definitely more than just one or two countries that have secretly made contact with Singapore.

At this point, Otto would certainly not allow this third-party force to continue to act arrogantly.

Issuing armor to Lin Yu at this time tantamount to sending him to fight the World Serpent to the death?

If Lin Yu were to inflict injuries on himself simply to fight against the Honkai, Lin Yu Fu Hua would feel sorry for him, but she would still reluctantly respect his will.
