And So, It's Decided!

The system's reward was a mid-level lottery ticket, which was definitely not the reward I would have received after the battle with the Herrscher —how could the Herrscher of Death be worth only this little bit of bounty?

The system also clearly told me that those ten Herrscher Clones were not worth that price at all.

In other words, I am not safe yet.

Who else is so fearless as to dare to cause me trouble at a time like this?!

Lin Yu, regaining his vigilance, suddenly noticed that after the wooden barrier in the distance withered away due to its owner's slumber, a group of blue-haired soldiers appeared before him.

Joyce Clone.

Moreover, a rough estimate suggests there are at least one hundred or more.

This is already the entirety of the World Serpent...

However, I was so nervous that I completely forgot about it.

Otto has his sights set on the Herrscher of Death.

World Serpent, on the other hand, set its sights on the Tranquility Gem within the Herrscher of Death in order to rescue Kevin.

Even if I don't appear on the battlefield, Gray Serpent will send its strongest forces here to try to defeat the Herrscher of Death —or perhaps to pick up the scraps.

Looking at the enemy before him, Lin Yu exhaled a deep breath, and a chilling killing intent instantly appeared in his eyes.

You didn't come to help when the Herrscher was being beaten up, but after the battle, you actually tried to pick up the scraps?

I have indeed expended a lot of my energy, but even now, I don't think these guys can threaten my life.

At this moment, Lin Yu his fingers into a sword, using the Honkai Energy blade to once again slice through the muscles and flesh of his body, allowing the holy blood to flow onto the ground once more.

As previously demonstrated by Gray Serpent, these Herrscher Clone can work together to amplify their already limited power.

So now, my only option is to defeat them all in one fell swoop as quickly as possible, before they've managed to join forces.

At this moment, as if to give himself a pep talk, Lin Yu clasped his hands together and walked toward the enemy before him.

Then...

"A mere few hundred Herrscher? I'll annihilate them with a single blow!"

"Holy Blood. Endless Jizo Blade!"

Accompanied by the boy's murderous voice, the blood at his feet transformed into incredibly terrifying blades, which began to slash directly at the enemy before him.

Seeing the enemy launch an attack, the Herrscher Clone soldiers naturally followed suit.

This time, however, thanks to the properties of the Holy Blood, both the Imaginary Barrier they jointly deployed and the Gravity Ball they launched in one go were completely neutralized by the Holy Blood.

After Jizo Blade Lin Yu exhausted his power and turned into blood, soaking the ground, all the Herrscher Soldier stopped moving.

And the next instant...

These soldiers, as if slashed wildly by sharp blades, fell to the ground in disarray, completely losing their last chance of life.

Chapter 157. It's decided, just like that!

Singapore interior. World Serpent Temporary Base

Inside the World Serpent's temporary base, Gray Serpent didn't focus on the sweating Jackal, but instead stared at the scene on the screen in front of him, beginning to wonder if he was seeing things wrong.

After the sudden outbreak of the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, Gray Serpent adjusted World Serpent's combat strategy.

As an intelligence analyst, Gray Serpent had naturally noticed Otto's intentions.

However, in Gray Serpent's view, since Otto dared to trigger the Fourth Honkai Outbreak here, he must have prepared a backup plan.

Otto's backup plan certainly couldn't be Lin Yu, who instantly killed a squad of clones on the way.

Although Lin Yu is becoming increasingly outrageously strong, there is still a huge gap between him and the Herrscher- level combat power.

In Gray Serpent's view, Otto's trump card ultimately lies in that girl.

Of the three S-rank Valkyrie that Schicksal publicly announced, one has disappeared, and World Serpent had already figured out Rita Roseweisse's combat strength.

Only Durandal, wielding the Black Abyss White Flower, is seen by World Serpent as having the power to threaten Herrscher.

It was precisely because of this judgment that Gray Serpent sent a portion of its Herrscher Clone to entangle Siegfried while simultaneously dispatching the vast majority of its remaining Herrscher Clone to the location of the Fourth Honkai Outbreak.

Originally, Gray Serpent wanted Durandal and that little girl named Yuno to fight each other, and then use this army to pick up the kills.

However, just as the team arrived near the scene, the Honkai Energy detection equipment on World Serpent's side informed Gray Serpent that the energy intensity at the site of the Fourth Honkai Outbreak was rapidly decreasing.

With some doubt in his heart, Gray Serpent led his soldiers to the scene.

Then, through the soldiers' visual organs, he saw that the Fourth Herrscher, who should have been rampaging, was actually being held in Lin Yu's arms.

Lin Yu defeated the Herrscher?

Gray Serpent really didn't want to believe it.

But whether he believes it or not, what he wants to do hasn't changed.

That is to seize the Herrscher Core and take control of it!

The next moment, all the Herrscher Clone commanded by Gray Serpent moved.

Yuno fainted, Lin Yu was already weak, Siegfried was tied up, and Durandal had not yet arrived at the scene.

The gem is right in front of them. Even Jackal would know to charge if it saw it, let alone Gray Serpent!

And so, Gray Serpent manipulated Soldier A to go up.

Then, a second later, all his soldiers typed "GG".

Before the soldiers died, Gray Serpent saw countless blood-red blades flying through the air, just like the light blades that Lin Yu had used to kill the first batch of Herrscher Soldier, tearing through the soldiers' flesh even more easily.

To be honest, in the past, Gray Serpent's feelings towards Lin Yu were more of apprehension than fear.

But now, Gray Serpent really has to admit—he's genuinely afraid.

Venerable Lord Kevin also defeated the Herrscher of Death from the Previous Era, but at that time Kevin had been a soldier for several years.

And Lin Yu is now...

Not long ago, he was even a minor agent.

The thought of World Serpent going up against such a ruthless person in the future made Gray Serpent feel his electronic brain start to twitch again.

If he hadn't left ten clone soldiers in the base as a backup, he might have already squandered all his resources.

"Gray Serpent, I have a good... never mind, I'll just get to the conclusion."

After being glared at fiercely by the Gray Serpent, the Jackal immediately spoke to the Gray Serpent at top speed.

"After the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, due to the energy disorder caused by the Honkai Energy eruption, the blockade against us by Anti-Entropy- Entropy has been stopped."

"Just now, I discovered that our Quantum Teleportation System has developed unstable teleportation capabilities..."

"--Walk!"

Upon hearing this, Gray Serpent spoke to the Jackal with extreme anxiety.

"Singapore is completely finished, there's no need for us to stay here any longer."

"Now that we can leave, I will activate the self-destruct program of this temporary base, leaving no information for the enemy!"

"Okay, then I'll set the target address at the new base..."

"—Did I fucking tell you to go over there?!"

The Gray Serpent, gripped by fear, looked at its incompetent colleague and spoke viciously to the Jackal.

"Take these ten clone soldiers with you!"

"Although the Fourth Honkai Outbreak has ended, Otto definitely has to clean up this mess!"

"In other words, much of Schicksal's power and attention will be forced to focus on the vicinity of Singapore."

"To the Oceania Branch, now, immediately!"

"Charge ahead before they notice our movements!"

The Tranquility of Death is probably hopeless.

But the winds of desire may still be within our grasp.

Lin Yu's evolution speed is simply too fast.

A week ago, he was just a skilled fighter capable of killing Simulated Herrscher.

A week later, he had seemingly become a monster capable of defeating Herrscher while still retaining formidable combat power.

We can't give him any more time to grow.

We must welcome back the Venerable Lord as quickly as possible; only in this way can our World Serpent Stigmata Plan continue.

Damn it, I need to get Cocolia on my side too.

Haiyuan City is still in the hands of the conservatives...

I can't worry about anything else anymore.

Let's see if we can get the gem out of that little girl named Wendy's body.

If not, then...

—Just throw her directly into the Abyssal Eye.

If Herrscher with a gem inside their body is thrown in, it might produce the same effect we want!

It's decided then and there!

Faster, even faster!

Although the moment of constraint is three years later, the time between the third and fourth times is too short.

If we don't speed things up, then the Honkai will flip the table and launch a sneak attack, essentially speeding things up...

—This world will be completely destroyed because of the accelerated Honkai!

After killing the formidable enemy before him, Lin Yu's first feeling was neither pleasure nor disgust.

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had consumed a large amount of blood to transform into holy blood, successfully broke through the enemy's barrier and killed the enemy by relying on the characteristics of holy blood, but he also paid a heavy price.

Although he has become much stronger than when he first transmigrated, his physical structure is still ultimately that of a 'human'.

After losing a large amount of blood, humans may experience discomfort and dizziness in mild cases, or even fall into a coma or die in severe cases.

Cecilia, who saved Asia with her holy blood fourteen years ago, consumed too much of her own blood, which led to her burning out her life force and dying in the Second Honkai Eruption.

To be honest, Lin Yu should have had other ways to deal with these clone soldiers.

However, after being forced to face a series of crises, Lin Yu's inner emotions had actually deteriorated to an extreme degree.

On his journey to pursue Yuno, Lin Yu once felt a slight sense of pleasure from brutally killing his enemies.

Just now, his move, which combined the Saniate Holy Blood with the Endless Jizo Blade, was clearly filled with killing intent.

The Endless Jizo Blade was originally a technique created by the Jizo Monk to 'save people'.

Although this move resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people, it essentially emphasized the idea of saving others more than the desire to kill them.

But looking back on what he had just done, Lin Yu suddenly realized that although what he did this time was still self-rescue, it was only one outcome.

Just now, he did have the thought, 'May all those bastards die!'

This idea isn't wrong, but it's too extreme.

For Lin Yu, who possesses the jewel of the [Swaying Scales], once the 'scales' in his heart completely lose their balance, he may face the fate of the jewel going berserk.

"Ha..."

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Lin Yu, despite his headache, cast another Powerful Healing Technique on himself.
