Kiana's Affection for Lin Yu Should Be High Enough by Now (cont.)

Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite scary.

If I need to use the Divine Key in the future, unless I can obtain a higher level of Honkai Energy resistance, HSN Serum will be a must for me.

Moreover, if we ask for too much HSN Serum, Otto will definitely become suspicious—he knows better than I do just how important serum is in high-level matches.

Thinking about it this way, I can't apply for too many serums.

Furthermore, I need to reserve a portion of the serum I receive for analysis using my [Mastery of Pharmacy] skill.

After the analysis is complete, we still need to study the ratio between serum and holy blood to see if we can create the God-Slaying Spear.

Even an incomplete God-Slaying Spear is enough to become my new trump card.

Even Sirin, after absorbing the [Tranquility of Death] and [Conquest of Thunder], would feel apprehensive upon seeing the complete version of the God-Slaying Spear.

Now that things have come to this point, Otto is bound to create some big news with Kiana in the future.

Although the Conquest of Thunder and the Tranquility of Death reside in Mei and Yuno respectively, who knows what the future, now shattered beyond repair, will become?

Damn it, the original novel didn't have any of those weird plots like "Raven releases Chiyou" or "Gray Serpent creates a clone army".

Yuno has now become the Herrscher of Death...

So why have so many strange things happened in the past fifty-one days?

And now, Wendy has been captured too.

In 2016, Wendy's resentment grew stronger and stronger, and she eventually became the Herrscher of Wind.

But it's 2014 now...

In the next instant, Lin Yu suddenly realized that he had actually had a very beastly thought.

Just now, he actually thought, "If Wendy became Herrscher and blew up World Serpent's base, that would be great."

That's enough, how could I have such a thought?

Furthermore, considering the bizarre situation in the original work, if Wendy is held back by the Gray Serpent's army of clones after Wendy appears, and then Cocolia ambushes her with her Titan Brigade, resulting in a classic repeat, and in the end someone else takes the gem, that would be hilarious.

In the original story, Gray Serpent had always coveted the Wind of Desire in Cocolia's possession, and later he did indeed use his schemes to make the Desire Gem the opportunity for Kevin to return to reality.

It's only been less than 25% of 2014, and Kevin might be out of seclusion already?

Save Wendy.

Wendy must be saved.

Lin Yu now felt that the situation had turned out to be absolutely outrageous.

Cocolia and Gray Serpent are working together, so as long as Gray Serpent gets the exact coordinates of Haiyuan City from Cocolia, he can go there and drop the gems.

Of course, this is on the premise that Gray Serpent actually has a gem... well, now he does indeed have a gem.

Although the main characters clearly stated in the dialogue of the third chapter of the original work that the Desire Gem was stabilizing in Wendy's body, stabilization and solidification back into a core that can be used to generate power are two different things.

But Lin Yu dared not gamble.

He didn't know if Wendy would transform into Herrscher due to her emotional changes.

Even if Wendy sticks to her principles, Lin Yu doesn't dare gamble that Gray Serpent might desperately throw Wendy, the Herrscher trainee with the gem inside her body, directly into the Abyssal Eye to force a breakthrough.

If Gray Serpent loses the bet, the worst that can happen is that he loses a very valuable but unusable item.

But if Gray Serpent wins the bet, Kevin will be released early...

Now, Lin Yu, Herrscher, is facing off against Kevin...

Normally, in a situation like this, when the sky is falling, the leader of the organization should be the one to hold it up.

However, considering that Lin Yu's current boss is Mr. Otto, who likes to hide behind the scenes when he is at a disadvantage, likes to take advantage when he is in a good position, focuses all his damage on his own people, and runs away when something happens, he feels that it is better to hope that the system will give him a more powerful cheat than to expect Otto to take the lead.

Alright, stop hinting. Even if you hint at it to the system several times today, it won't break the rules.

You know the rules—

Okay, I got it. If you don't want it, fine!

With so many cards in my hand, the key to breaking the deadlock might just be hidden in these trump cards and intelligence I have.

But then again, something seems to have come to mind.

As drowsiness crept in, Lin Yu finally remembered...

Oh, I remember I was going to sleep a few minutes ago.

I think I should take a nap first.

Raven handed over the intelligence, but I hadn't visited some of the bases mentioned in the intelligence.

... Jizo Mitama!

Yes, the bases of the World Serpent should be interconnected.

Even if Gray Serpent is certain that he will clean up the data after knowing that Raven has sold World Serpent, he might still be able to Jizo Mitama some data in World Serpent's computer, given the corrosive power of the Key of Erosion.

As for the reasons...

Ha, Lin Yu is a vengeful ghost.

Lin Yu, whose parents died, became a vengeful spirit against the Honkai. It's quite normal for Lin Yu to want revenge against World Serpent after his sister was knocked unconscious.

Moreover, this wasn't just a boring performance.

I really want to kill these filthy dogs.

Kill...

Kill.

Kill!

I'll take a nap, and tomorrow I'll go to Otto's office and have him send me to plow through all the World Serpent's bases with Jizo Mitama Plow!

Damn it, after I've searched every single base of the World Serpent...

—I refuse to believe we can't get the coordinates of their other bases!

.

The next day, Otto's office.

"This application..."

Looking at the mission application that the young man had just submitted, Otto smiled and said to Lin Yu.

"Sorry, not approved."

"But the bishop—"

"Lin Yu, listen to me."

Otto, who gestured to Lin Yu not to rush, continued to smile and said to Lin Yu.

"I know you're really in a hurry, but this time, you really don't need to rush."

No need to rush?

I think you don't realize how serious this is.

If I can find the World Serpent's main base sooner and rescue Wendy, then Kevin will have to stay in jail.

Kevin, you can only work on your plans in peace if you keep eating in jail!

But right now, Lin Yu certainly can't say everything that's on his mind.

So in Otto's eyes, Lin Yu was clearly anxious but didn't know how to explain the situation, which is why he appeared so visibly anxious.

But this time, no matter how anxious Lin Yu was, it was no use.

Just yesterday, while Otto was hypnotizing Yuno to test her powers, he also took the time to check on Lin Yu's actions within the surveillance system.

And Otto, looking at the images displayed on the monitor, really felt...

Lin Yu was under an immense mental burden.

Although he tentatively believed that Lin Yu was still under Feathered Dust's control, Otto was still quite suspicious.

Anyway, since he turned Schicksal into a semi-automatic system, Otto still had time to take a look at what the current 'Strongest Knight of Schicksal' was doing.

Then, Otto was completely baffled by Lin Yu's actions in the scene.

It's not that Lin Yu's inspiring actions in the bar were bad.

As for Otto, he began to build momentum for Lin Yu, and he did want to create an atmosphere that 'humanity already has powerful enough warriors to easily defeat the Herrscher,' so that his subordinates would have a more positive mindset.

He has indeed been letting the Honkai develop unchecked, but this must have been done secretly behind the scenes.

Otto usually spends a lot of time on appearances.

This is why people who know nothing about the inside story think Otto is a great and righteous savior, while those who know some of the inside story only think Otto is a cold-blooded tool for saving the world without any human touch.

As for those who know most of the inside information...

Aside from the unfortunate group in Anti-Entropy who suffered terribly at his hands, everyone else who knew his true nature, except for Fu Hua, was killed off by Otto beforehand.

Ha, if my true identity were revealed, my life as Bishop of Schicksal would be over.

Fortunately, I'm pretending well enough that even high-ranking warriors like Bianca and Lin Yu, who have noticed I'm not a good person, are willing to work for me in the fight against the Honkai.

The problem now is that Bianca is doing better; although she tries very hard, she can still adjust herself.

After all, she lost her past memories, so she doesn't have to be sad about those tragic and unfortunate things that happened in the past.

But Lin Yu is different.

Having lost his parents, he truly became a vengeful ghost.

Lin Yu, who put on a calm and confident front of others, not only looked exhausted when he got to his room, but was also startled awake after only three minutes of sleep.

Upon seeing Lin Yu's state, Otto immediately decided that if things didn't look good, he would have to extend Lin Yu's forced leave from fifteen days to thirty days.

Now, Otto understands very well that Lin Yu's anxiety stems not only from the fact that World Serpent is a rival organization to Schicksal, but also largely from the fact that World Serpent injured Rita.

Otto can understand Lin Yu's desire to seek revenge against the World Serpent, given his strong family ties.

But understanding is one thing, and he understands many things, but understanding doesn't mean agreeing with them.

He also understood that the Anti-Entropy group wanted to kill him, their enemy.

Understanding the other party's thoughts doesn't mean Otto should immediately deliver a Flame-Chaser's Judgment to his own head.

Lin Yu is currently ostensibly Otto's chosen warrior representative, but in reality, he is the most important piece on Otto's chessboard besides K423.

He didn't want Lin Yu to exhaust himself before even stepping onto the stage.

"You want to go and make a move against the World Serpent, right? — Alright, don't look so shocked."

Seeing Lin Yu's utter shock, Otto smiled and opened the light screen in front of him, directly revealing the battle results he had received several hours earlier to Lin Yu.

"The World Serpent, this organization poses a far too great threat to our Schicksal."

"Although I am a useless old man, I am also, for the time being, the bishop of Schicksal."

"Now, the intelligence that Miss Xiola handed over to us has been sorted out by our compatriots in the intelligence department, so I immediately ordered the warriors from other branches to wipe out the World Serpent organization within our sphere of influence in one fell swoop."

After hearing Otto's words, Lin Yu immediately responded.

"Then I will head to those battlefields to gather intelligence!"

"Hey, don't be so tense."

Seeing Lin Yu's current mental state, Otto put away the relaxed smile on his face and said to Lin Yu in a very serious tone.

"Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"Lin Yu, you'll be eighteen in six months. You're not a child anymore."

"I know you want to destroy World Serpent because of Rita, but you should know now that I am promoting you to be the chief warrior of Schicksal."

"As a warrior of Schicksal, you should not only have the courage to charge into battle, but also understand that everyone has their own area of expertise."

"The battle is over. Gathering intelligence is the job of the intelligence department's hacker team, so don't get involved."

Damn it!
