I'll Take Your Mother's Life

Sumeru Mustard Seed

Within the Sumeru Mustard Seed, Su, who was observing countless worlds, revealed a smile.

Ha, I was planning to wait a while before taking action.

As it turns out, Mr. Lin Yu has actually come to this area on his own initiative, under Mr. Otto's orders.

Very good, very good.

Once he takes action, I'm sure I only need to guide him a little to make Mr. Lin Yu realize the location of the Void Key.

As for his test... let's see how it goes.

At this moment, Su was very satisfied with the progress of things, but that did not mean that he would voluntarily and mindlessly hand over the Divine Key to Lin Yu.

Putting aside the fact that Lin Yu had not yet passed his test, Su, who always believed that "human beings should control their own destiny," thought that things that are too easily obtained are not cherished by humans.

Even though Lin Yu was considered a fighter with a good temperament in Su's observation, Su did not intend to let him obtain the Void Key so easily.

Moreover, Su also had to be wary of one target.

Otto Apocalypse.

Within Sue's observation, he saw some of the things Otto had done in other worlds.

In some worlds, Otto Apocalypse gained control of the Void Key through various means.

After that, he embarked on an incredibly crazy plan.

In this plan, the Void Key can be considered one of the core items.

After launching the plan, Otto prepared one extremely cruel plan and one relatively mild one.

This incredibly cruel plan would sacrifice the lives of almost all of humanity worldwide.

A more moderate plan would only require sacrificing his life.

Sue was deeply moved by Otto's desire to save Kallen.

Then—he thought it was better if the Void Key didn't end up in Otto's hands.

If he hadn't seen Otto's plans in the past, he might have considered whether to give the Void Key and the intelligence he possessed to Otto.

But now he's seen this plan...

Admittedly, Otto himself would have preferred that Otto carry out the gentler plan.

However, if Plan A fails, Su thinks there's a pretty good chance Otto will blow up all the unlucky people in the world.

This man had long been driven mad by his obsession.

Sue could not risk the lives of the entire world for Otto's dream because of a momentary impulse.

Moreover, although Mr. Lin Yu has seen through Mr. Otto's true nature, he still does not know what Mr. Otto is planning to do.

Currently, Mr. Lin Yu is serving as Mr. Otto's elite soldier, carrying out missions...

If he passes the test, I'll have to find a way to persuade him not to hand over the Void Key and the information I have to Mr. Otto.

This is really difficult. The only solution I can think of right now is to show Mr. Otto what he did to Mr. Lin Yu.

However, my test is related to the illusion. If Mr. Lin Yu passes the test, I think that with his intelligence, he will probably think that I am using the illusion to smear Mr. Otto.

At this moment, Su Zhen felt a little dumbfounded.

Because Otto controls the main anti- Honkai forces of humanity, he has to be this careful even when it comes to things like Divine Key.

Well...

—This is probably a kind of dark humor.

At this moment, as Su began to consider his next move, he suddenly saw a man arrive at the spot where he had previously spoken with the Gray Serpent.

Okay, this man is actually the Gray Serpent after he changed his appearance.

After leaving a piece of paper on the bench, Gray Serpent immediately left the area as quickly as possible.

Upon witnessing the Gray Serpent's bizarre action, Su, of course, manipulated his mental power at top speed to remotely open the note.

Then, he saw a strange yet somewhat ridiculous statement.

Mr. Su, if you don't want to help us, that's perfectly fine; we support your decision.

But please be very careful about Lin Yu!

[Perhaps in your eyes, he is a reliable junior who has successfully resolved two large-scale Honkai and the Herrscher of Herrscher.]

However, based on my analysis through the Gray Serpent Network, his actions are full of strangeness.

Even if you dislike the Stigmata Plan, you're well aware that it's a highly threatening project for the Stigmata Plan Honkai.

Our analysis revealed that Lin Yu's rate of increase in strength was abnormally high, and he was consistently hindering the progress of the Stigmata Plan.

[His exceptional abilities in combating Honkai might actually make him a vanguard of Honkai, leading me to suspect that he may have already become Herrscher of Constraint!]

Please be very careful with this man!

Oh, Mr. Gray Serpent, your analysis...

It seems to make a lot of sense, but in reality, it just makes me think that the imagination is a bit too far-fetched.

The speed of growth is very fast. The ability to defeat Herrscher and suppress Honkai is the Constraint Herrscher.

According to your logic, the person who best fits these two criteria in our era...

Oh, it's Kevin.

No, I suddenly feel like laughing, but I can't seem to manage it.

I can see Mr. Lin Yu's past, so I know he is not Herrscher.

Since Mr. Gray Serpent knows my approximate abilities, he should also know the information I possess, which is sufficient proof of this.

Ah, Mr. Gray Serpent's loyalty to Kevin is truly unwavering.

Is it because I refused to save Kevin that he became so angry and confused that he said such nonsense?

Kevin is truly fortunate to have such subordinates.

It's just a pity, my dear friend, no matter how guilty I feel, I will not change my mind.

After all, if you come out, you will definitely launch the Stigmata Plan.

Humans in this era live much more comfortably than those in ours, but...

Ordinary people can't withstand such terrible torment from you and Mr. Otto.

Meanwhile, England

After seeing off Mike, who had brought him and Bronya here, Lin Yu and Bronya immediately went to the hotel that Schicksal had opened in England and took the initiative to contact the members of the Far East Branch.

"So, senior, you're going to be staying away from home for a while again?"

Looking at Lin Yu in the image, Kiana immediately turned her gaze to Bronya was barely able to get into the frame.

"Bronya, keep an eye on him, don't let him do anything reckless."

"Sister Kiana, Bronya thinks you're making things difficult for me."

Bronya responded expressionlessly to Kiana's words.

"If Brother Lin Yu is going to do something reckless, who in our dorm do you think can stop him?"

"... Well, you can do your best."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yu gave Kiana a disgruntled look.

"Hey you two, I'm right here."

"Saying these things to my face—what kind of image do I have in your eyes?"

"A gambler who'd risk his life for a one percent chance of winning—do you think I should praise you as 'Senior, you're amazing for solo-killing the Herrscher '?"

Seeing Lin Yu's dissatisfied look, Kiana said angrily.

"Last time it was Bianca and Bishop Otto who were there, so I didn't say much."

"Last time you rushed over alone again—if you had waited for us, not to mention Bronya and Bronya, Mei would definitely have been able to help you!"

"It was just an accident. You can't assume I'm messing around just because I didn't expect it."

"... I'm too lazy to talk to you."

After considering the difference in eloquence between herself and Lin Yu, Kiana decisively pulled Mei to her side and said to Mei.

"Mei, say something to him too!"

"This..."

Mei, who was suddenly pulled to Kiana's side, recalled the words the Herrscher of Thunder had said to her last time, and her heart was filled with unease.

Before Lin Yu launched his solo raid last time, the Herrscher of Thunder warned Mei that her ability to operate was possibly due to the influence of the Honkai God.

Now, although the Fourth Honkai Outbreak has ended, the frequency of small and medium-sized Honkai outbreaks around the world has not yet fallen back to the average level.

It was precisely for this reason that Kiana and Mei, the two new recruits, were forced to go out and work overtime every day to solve the Honkai incident, missing the opportunity to meet Lin Yu.

As for Bronya, she was on standby because Schicksal Headquarters had given her an order to stay put; otherwise, she would still be fighting on the battlefield.

The increased frequency of Honkai outbreaks undoubtedly means that the next large-scale Honkai is approaching.

The increased frequency of Honkai bursts caused by the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, and the fact that the frequency hasn't decreased after the Fourth Honkai Outbreak ended, can only mean...

—The Fifth Honkai Outbreak may also break out in the coming days.

Normally, if it were just that, Mei would be worried about Lin Yu, but not to this extent.

However, after returning to her dorm today, Mei sorted through the information and discovered...

In the past two months, Lin Yu has come into contact with the Third Herrscher and the Fourth Herrscher.

Although both encounters were the result of him voluntarily going to the battlefield, however...

Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, but what about three times?

Furthermore, judging from the fact that the Herrscher of Thunder can hear the voice of the 'Honkai God,' the Honkai God truly exists.

If Mei herself is the Honkai God, then Lin Yu, who resolved the Third Honkai Outbreak and Fourth Honkai Outbreak and finished off Chi Chiyou, would definitely be seen as a thorn in her side.

If a suitable host is available in London, the Honkai God could potentially guide the host to awaken and trigger Honkai, then send the Herrscher to assassinate Lin Yu.

It's just that now, it feels a bit strange to say many things in front of everyone.

After all, these are just Mei's own guesses.

"Lin Yu, please be careful."

After saying that, Mei decided to wait and write a report, including what had happened inside her body and her conjectures, and send it to Lin Yu and Himeko.

She believed that with Lin Yu and Himeko's intelligence, if they sensed something was wrong, they would definitely take action immediately.

"Okay, you really don't need to worry so much."

Looking at his companions on the light screen, Lin Yu spoke to everyone with a confident expression.

"I am now the strongest in Schicksal. If the enemy encounters me, you should not worry about whether I will get into trouble, but whether I can stop myself from accidentally killing the intelligence source."

"Yes, yes, senior is the best."

After saying this, Kiana, seeing Bronya's speechless look and Lin Yu's unchanging expression, deliberately ended the communication.

Then, in front of everyone, she began to speak with displeasure.

"This senior seems to have gotten a lot more arrogant."

"He's Schicksal to be the strongest... Bianca hasn't even said anything yet!"

"Kiana, please be understanding."

Himeko, who had remained silent behind the others, spoke softly to Kiana.

"In terms of battle record, Lin Yu single-handedly resolved the Fourth Honkai Outbreak."

"From a practical standpoint, he can indeed be considered the number one player in the Schicksal right now."
