Without even a moment's mourning for the motorcycle explosion, those who rushed to the battlefield were—

Lin Yu had prepared a backup motorcycle long ago.

"It's one thing for motorcycles to be consumables, but I still can't just conjure things up out of thin air when there are people around."

"That scoundrel Otto is so eager to invest in me now... Ha, next time we meet, I'll just have him help me set up a mode of transportation for my journey."

Lin Yu activated the 'Manipulation' skill once again, causing the motorcycle in front of him to be covered with ominous magical patterns, just like the motorcycle that had exploded before.

He then broke the sound barrier again and charged forward.

We're about ten kilometers from Singapore, and I haven't seen Yuno anywhere along the way. Just how fast is that girl?

Or is the worst-case scenario I've been imagining already unfolding before my eyes?

Just like the Herrscher of Reason back then, what she thought she was doing was actually being manipulated by the Honkai God.

She attacked three major organizations: Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, successfully helping Honkai God suppress a wave of anti- Honkai vision.

This is enough to show that the Honkai God is actually capable of influencing the consciousness of the Herrscher without the Herrscher being aware of it.

Moreover, if the Honkai God so desires, it might even provide support to the Herrscher.

Yuno now...

—Could it be that they've been Honkai God and are now launching a support campaign, charging towards the gems?

Chapter 151. The Herrscher of Death and Poison

Singapore's peripheral area

In the outskirts of Singapore, Siegfried, who had just turned around and killed a pseudo -Herrscher Soldier, suddenly jumped up from his motorcycle and pulled the trigger again in mid-air.

This time, however, Siegfried, who had been pursued for a long time, was unable to dodge the enemy's attack as he had done before.

His shot successfully killed an enemy.

However, at the same time, Siegfried was also hit by Gravity Ball fired from another direction and was forced to the ground by the Gravity Ball.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

With its weakened Gravity Manipulation ability, it naturally cannot easily harm the body of the strongest warrior of the Kaslana clan.

But for Siegfried, what he lacks most right now is time.

Being held back by the enemy in this way was clearly more unacceptable to Siegfried than being injured.

Moreover, to be honest, he really felt that the World Serpent group was definitely out of their minds.

Damn it, this is your hometown!

Otto wants to demolish your hometown, so come and fight me—I think you're all fucking out of your minds!

Moreover, although there are no ordinary people left in the area where Siegfried is now, he still has no intention of Heavenly Fire: Unleashed here.

The situation has now become so dire that Siegfried has to consider the worst-case scenario.

Even if Dr. Mags and the World Serpent have made contact, they are probably still lingering in the Singapore border area.

In other words, if Siegfried hadn't caught up with Dr. Mags, and the Fourth Honkai Outbreak had occurred, then...

After the Honkai Energy erupts, at least the civilians in Singapore's urban areas will not die immediately.

Meanwhile, if the Fourth Honkai Outbreak were to occur, Siegfried would certainly be able to detect the location of the Fourth Herrscher through the shockwave generated by the Honkai Impact 3rd.

At that time...

If he could kill the Herrscher instantly, he could at least suppress the disaster to a minimum.

Therefore, Siegfried must reserve his strongest trump card for the Herrscher, no matter what.

"Honestly... Otto and World Serpent, neither of them cares about human life!"

After forcibly supporting his body and standing up abruptly from the ground, Siegfried looked at the Herrscher Soldier who were gradually surrounding him, took a deep breath, and then drew another weapon Flame-Chaser's Judgment, from his waist.

Looking at it from another angle now, the closer the enemy gets, the more it proves that my choice was correct.

After quickly eliminating these Herrscher Clone soldiers, I searched the surrounding area and the probability of finding Dr. Mags shouldn't be too low.

Ha, hopefully these people from the World Serpent will wake up now.

Otherwise, the allied countries you've finally found will just be destroyed under Otto's control.

At the same time, in the border areas of Singapore.

In another border area of Singapore, the Gray Serpent, seeing the Valkyrie suddenly catching up, immediately shielded Dr. Mags behind him.

"Doctor, please go first. I'll deal with this Otto lackey."

"Go into the city, someone will come to meet you."

After Gray Serpent specifically referred to the other party as 'Otto's lackey,' Dr. Mags's guilt towards the Valkyrie before her was instantly overwhelmed by her hatred for Otto.

Meanwhile, Gray Serpent's decision to stay behind and cover the retreat made Dr. Mags trust this ally even more.

"Mr. Gray Serpent, if possible..."

"Ah, I know Dr. Mags is kind-hearted and made this choice because she couldn't bear to see these little girls being persecuted."

At this moment, Gray Serpent, having taken out the Honkai Beast transformation potion, plunged it into his own neck and spoke to Dr. Mags.

"I will do my best to save her life."

Thank you.

Hearing Dr. Mags's increasingly hurried footsteps, Gray Serpent, transformed into Emperor-class Honkai Beast, felt...

Dr. Mags really thinks too highly of him.

Dr. Mags may be old and blind, and didn't see the Valkyrie in front of her clearly.

However, as an intelligence analyst for World Serpent, Gray Serpent would certainly recognize that the Valkyrie named Yuno in front of him was not only Valkyrie, but also a Simulated Herrscher.

With the support of the Honkai, this Simulated Herrscher even defeated Theresa, the holder of the Key of Restraint.

Even though she has now chosen to stand on the side of humanity and lost the support of the Honkai, Yuno, who can use the pseudo -Herrscher Authority, is still not someone that Emperor-class being with only three minutes of transformation time can kill.

If Gray Serpent hadn't already dispatched a unit of clone soldiers to rescue Siegfried and Dr. Mags when he discovered Siegfried rampaging through the city, he might now be despairingly convinced that the game was over.

If I can trade blows and forcefully slow down the opponent or even injure them within those three minutes, then once Dr. Mags and the Tranquility Gem are in our hands, the remaining Simulated Herrscher will be enough to defeat Yuno.

As for Lin Yu... well, although he's a ruthless person, he's not so ruthless as to disregard the safety of his companions.

Based on past intelligence, we can see that he is a sentimental person.

In other words, once this Simulated Herrscher is defeated and taken into our hands, we, as hostages, can naturally buy more time.

We cannot despair yet.

Rather, I see a glimmer of hope now!

"Ah, the Honkai Beast transformation potion that you mentioned before, senior."

Looking at the Honkai Beast in front of her and Dr. Mags who was running wildly, Yuno gently brushed her hair aside and then suddenly slammed her fist into the ground.

"A mere inferior Emperor-class dares to be arrogant in front of me?"

"I've really been seen through completely."

The instant Yuno slammed her fist into the ground, Dr. Mags suddenly saw a row of wooden barriers spring up from the ground, blocking his path, which had previously been unobstructed.

These wooden barriers are about three meters high, and instead of being covered with thorns or anything like that, they are incredibly smooth.

Dr. Mags was stunned when she saw the barrier.

This, this is...

Ah, I remember now, this child is another Herrscher from the Far East Branch.

But does that mean she has been suppressing her Herrscher Persona, which is why she can't unleash her full potential?

But now, this terrifying power is nothing like the power that a Simulated Herrscher suppressing the Herrscher Persona could wield.

Simulated Herrscher... the Tranquility Gem... and the potent poison that once rendered Theresa unconscious... the 'creative power' that instantly sprouted plants...

At that moment, Dr. Mags, a scientist researching Honkai Energy and the Artificial Herrscher Project, seemed to have thought of something and turned around in disbelief to look at Yuno behind her.

At this moment, the Gray Serpent, which had transformed into Emperor-class Honkai Beast, was knocked to the ground by Yuno's punch using the giant wooden figure that suddenly appeared in front of it.

Yuno's body was clearly radiating a powerful Honkai Energy fluctuation that was visible to the naked eye.

"Don't come any closer!"

As Yuno approached him step by step, Dr. Mags finally realized how foolish she had been.

"Little girl, listen to me! Otto has been carrying out the Artificial Herrscher Project, and I, as his accomplice, have killed countless promising Valkyrie."

"But after this plan failed, I stole the Tranquility Gem because of my hatred for Otto and my guilt towards those girls."

"So?"

Yuno had stopped walking, calmly asked Dr. Mags.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Don't you realize how serious this is?!"

Dr. Mags, realizing that she might indirectly cause a massive Honkai, continued speaking to Yuno while backing away.

"It's strange enough that I was able to steal the Tranquility Gem; Otto would never leave something like that unguarded!"

"Yes, grandpa, you're right."

Seeing that Yuno had actually stopped, Dr. Mags breathed a long sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

"You..."

"But I still maintain the same point—what does this have to do with me?"

Yuno was standing still, used the vines created by her Herrscher Authority to bind Dr. Mags's body, and then used another vine to grab the Soul Steel Storage Box and throw it into her hand.

No! You can't!

At this moment, Dr. Mags, who was bound by vines, saw Yuno open the Soul Steel storage box and shouted at Yuno in a panic.

"Simulated Herrscher touches the Tranquility Gem, it will only—"

What will happen?

At this moment, Yuno smiled as she watched the Herrscher Core slowly float out of the box.

"Grandpa, I am Herrscher stands on the side of humanity."

Even with the power of the Tranquility Gem, I still... I still... I still...

At that moment, Yuno looked at the gem in front of her and suddenly felt something unusual.

Strange, what was I trying to say?

Meanwhile, Dr. Mags, seeing Yuno's strange behavior, suddenly felt her own body become incredibly weak.

His theft of the jewels and the pursuit of this Herrscher girl were all orchestrated by Otto.

And now, everything is progressing steadily according to Otto's plan.

Yuno has come into contact with the Herrscher Core.

Yuno eyes are now blank, has clearly been mentally manipulated by the Herrscher Core.

As long as no one stops her, the probability of a Simulated Herrscher is compatible with [Creation] and [Withering] in terms of basic powers transforming into the Herrscher of Death is ridiculously high.

Damn it, I underestimated Otto.

I originally thought that Otto was just using Singapore as a testing ground to see if there were any suitable candidates for the Herrscher of Death among Singapore's millions of people.

In reality, he had already selected a suitable body for the Tranquility Gem and incorporated it into his plan.

Think of a way, Maggie. You have to take responsibility for your actions!
