Even if you secretly hold a developer conference, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

But even when it comes to saving lives, there's a proper way to do it. Let me think about it.

If Murata Himeko intervened and stopped Otto Apocalypse's plan, then he probably wouldn't have shown any mercy to the Valkyrie interfered with his plans.

However, what if the person who interfered with this plan wasn't Murata Himeko, but Theresa Apocalypse...

Alas, with Bishop Otto's brain, he could surely have figured out that Theresa discovered this was the result of my secret instigation.

There's no point in hiding it anymore, so I'll go directly to Theresa and talk to her about it privately.

Then—at least send someone out to persuade Yuno to calm down, or have someone keep an eye on her.

At that moment, the image of that boy immediately appeared in Himeko's mind.

Although Fu Hua is quite powerful, she was still seriously injured in her last battle against that blue-haired Simulated Herrscher.

In comparison, Lin Yu's ability to kill the Simulated Herrscher without taking damage is clearly much safer than Fu Hua's actions.

Moreover, although Yuno doesn't harbor any special feelings for Lin Yu like Kiana and Mei, Lin Yu is indeed someone she trusts.

If Lin Yu were to go there, given his current strength and the adaptability he demonstrated during his time in Changkong City, he should be able to resolve this crisis.

However, this was tantamount to pushing him into the fire as well.

I'm being incredibly shameless. I just tried to get Theresa to take the blame for me, and now I'm trying to push my student to the opposite side of Bishop Otto...

However, among the people I can send out, Lin Yu is the most suitable candidate.

For the sake of the future of millions, students are being put at enormous risk...

No, let Lin Yu decide for himself.

This matter concerns his future and could even endanger his life; he has the right to know and make a choice.

Ultimately, the root cause of this matter—is not actually with me!

The thought that Otto was going to imitate Cocolia and do such a beastly thing ignited a terrible rage in Himeko's heart.

Although Theresa had already told him that Otto, while loving her, wasn't a good person, but...

Can such a person, as the leader of Schicksal, really lead us to successfully resist the Honkai?

Himeko's House

Sitting on the sofa in Himeko's house, Lin Yu listened to Fu Hua's incessant words and realized that he was truly afraid this time.

He never expected that Fu Hua could deduce a whole host of problems about Lin Yu from such a trivial matter, and then launch into a lecture that lasted for more than twenty minutes.

To be honest, judging from Fu Hua's non-stop talking, Lin Yu estimates that she can talk for at least another twenty minutes.

Moreover, to avoid Fu Hua getting angry again because of his distraction, Lin Yu even used the Mirror Mind to lecture her.

While it's nice to have someone care, it's not so good when that care comes with so much endless nonsense.

"So you must remember this from now on—hmm?"

Upon hearing the communicator in her room Fu Hua gave Lin Yu a look that said, "I'll deal with you later," before quickly heading towards her room.

About two minutes later, Lin Yu saw Fu Hua, who had changed into her fighting outfit, walk to Xiola's door with a puzzled look and ask Xiola to go with her to the headmaster's office.

"Stay in your dorm and rest—remember everything I said!"

Yes~

After watching Fu Hua drag away Xiola, who was still trying to slack off in the dorm, Lin Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Sigh, it turns out Mei and the others didn't come back for the breakfast she made... Oh well, no missions today, I can probably finally get some rest..."

[Deep night and dark drinking water——]

Lin Yu was startled when he heard the communicator ring.

On the communicator's display screen was a name—[Murata Himeko].

After answering Himeko's call with a blank expression, Lin Yu saw Himeko's serious face and realized that she probably wouldn't be able to rest until today.

"Major Himeko, does the organization have a new mission?"

Looking at the boy on the other side of the screen, whose face showed an undeniable weariness, yet who was still sitting upright waiting for his incompetent superior to give orders, Himeko's guilt intensified.

"Yes, I have a special task to assign you."

"But before that, I will explain the dangers of the mission to you. After you think it over carefully, you can decide whether or not to accept the mission."

Oh no, something's happened!

Although Himeko calling at this time is definitely not good news, the fact that she's this serious means the problem must be serious.

"Please explain first."

Hearing that Lin Yu didn't give a definite answer so readily, Himeko felt much more at ease.

Himeko would be slightly worried if Lin Yu had blindly accepted this mission.

But even if it's a task assigned by her direct superior, Lin Yu still has to scrutinize it carefully, which at least shows that his mind is still functioning.

In the next few minutes, Himeko briefly told Lin Yu about the danger level and various details of the mission without informing him that "Bishop Otto might cause trouble."

Listening to Himeko's words, Lin Yu realized...

I am really tired today.

He hadn't even noticed that Yuno so long.

Moreover, Singapore ran away with the Tranquility Gem...

Yuno even chased after him...

Based on the theory that this world is accelerating, if Kiana doesn't stop the Tranquility Gem from going berserk in this Moon Shadow, the Herrscher of Death could very well be born directly in Singapore as a result.

[Ha, having already reached a conclusion, you obviously know very well what choice you will make.]

Ultimately, everything you do is for survival, so given a choice, you'd naturally choose the safer option.

Yes, you're right, of course I'd choose the safer option.

So my choice, of course, is...

At that moment, Himeko heard an answer from Lin Yu that left her with mixed feelings.

"Major Himeko, what are you saying?"

"Yuno my companion, so of course I can't leave her in danger."

Um, what's going on here...?

[This system can sense that you are indeed filled with fear—so why are you still rushing in that direction? Are you serious?]

Do you think I want to rush in?

However, rather than watching the Herrscher of Death be born, rushing over to stop Yuno is clearly the optimal solution.

I don't think that other Herrscher can return to the human camp in the same way just because Mei, Kiana, and others regained their self-awareness in the original work.

Yuno usually struggles to suppress the personality within the Simulated Herrscher Core.

If she becomes the Herrscher of Death because of Otto's schemes, then it's hard to say what will happen then.

If the outbreak of the Fourth Honkai Outbreak results in the birth of the Herrscher of Death in Singapore, then everything will change as a result.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize again that the Honkai is about to accelerate.

The birth of a Herrscher means that the Honkai will accelerate further toward its Finality.

Otto will definitely have a backup plan to solve the problem, but before that, he will absolutely allow Honkai to erupt completely.

By then, a new Herrscher will have been born, and the Honkai will have accelerated. Even if Yuno is dealt with by his hidden measures, things will become irreversible.

Therefore, rather than me trembling with fear in my dorm, it's in my best interest to take the initiative.

Haha, they're usually so passive, but they've become so proactive now.

That's just how life is.

Rather than being overwhelmed by life's harsh realities and unable to take care of myself, I'd rather be proactive and make life so unbearable that I can't even get out of bed.

If I take the initiative, I'll probably be facing what Himeko mentioned: a weakened version of Joyce Clone army.

But if I'm passive, I'll just watch millions of people get screwed over by Otto, Yuno the screwing, the Honkai accelerate the process of 'Embrace of the Finality,' and in the end, I'll be unlucky along with them.

After receiving detailed information about the mission from Himeko, Lin Yu took out the Tai Xu Grip from his room, put it on, and left Himeko's house.

Then, as he was about to leave, he saw Kiana and her two companions running back to their dormitory, panting heavily.

"Senior, my period already told me, Yuno— "

Seeing Lin Yu's unpredictable expression, Kiana suddenly stopped talking.

Lin Yu, who usually remains calm, looked visibly unhappy at this moment.

After sensing Lin Yu's feelings, Bronya immediately gave Kiana a wink and then spoke to Lin Yu.

"Brother Lin Yu, the headmaster said that this mission is of great importance, so he wants us to go and help you."

"So..."

"Alright, just follow me."

Looking at the three worried people in front of him, Lin Yu took a deep breath and smiled helplessly at them.

"Don't be so serious, we're just helping Yuno stop an old man."

"This mission is only causing such a big commotion because the higher-ups are worried. There shouldn't be any major problems with this kind of mission, right?"

Chapter 146. Even if we secretly hold a developer conference, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Border of a certain country. Aerial

On the transport plane, Yuno recalled the information Otto had sent her that morning and felt that something was wrong with this mission.

According to the detailed description in the intelligence, Dr. Mags, the scientist from Schicksal, took the Tranquility Gem and fled from Schicksal Headquarters because he was dissatisfied with Bishop Otto.

Although Otto dispatched Valkyrie squad specializing in assassination to pursue Dr. Mags, Otto worried that the enemy would send powerful henchmen to protect her, which is why he needed even more powerful Valkyrie to hunt her Dr. Mags.

As for why Yuno was chosen, the reason is actually quite simple.

Before this incident, Lin Yu and Fu Hua, both A-Class, were already exhausted both physically and mentally from going on missions every day.

The reason for not choosing other B-Class and A-rank Valkyrie is that ordinary Valkyrie cannot handle strong enemies.

"Although you have only just been promoted to B-Class, with the strength you have shown so far, you can already easily suppress ordinary A-Class."

"Although you lost to that Simulated Herrscher last time, I personally believe that the powerful clone that appeared this time is different from the one that appeared this time."

"Furthermore, pursuit missions shouldn't be carried out in a high-profile manner, so in my personal opinion, this mission is most suitable for you to carry out."

"I believe you won't let me down, Captain Yuno."

To be honest, Otto's reasons are reasonably plausible.

Moreover, in these past forty or fifty days, I have indeed been working hard to improve my reputation among Principal Theresa and Major Himeko.

There was nothing wrong with Bishop Otto's words.

My mindset... After confirming that my senior would help me kill Cocolia, my mindset should be fine.

Everything seems to be fine, so why am I so uneasy right now?

"Huh, what's going on???"

The pilot, who was flying the transport plane, suddenly changed his expression and shouted at Yuno.

"Second Lieutenant Yuno, prepare to eject!"

"This?!"
