I Am a Decent Person!

To be honest, if he did not get stuffed to death, one had to say that Royal Guard was awesome.

However, going on like this was not a solution either.

The state of Mirror Mind required a massive consumption of stamina.

Along with the drop in stamina, the user's reaction speed and offensive-defensive precision would steadily decline, and they might even be forced out of this state due to excessive exhaustion.

And if Lin Yu were really knocked out by Siegfried... he felt that Siegfried truly would not kill him.

The problem was that Siegfried not killing him did not mean he was safe.

Watching K423 slip away right under his nose, he had no idea what Otto would think of him by then.

Otto could sometimes be quite reasonable.

Yet no matter how reasonable he was, he was still a monster who did not care about the lives of others.

Working under such a person, you could not expect him to speak nicely to you after you messed things up.

Only by getting things done and showing your value would Otto treat you as a useful tool and give you a tiny shred of face.

There was no other choice; right now, he could only look for an opening.

"Yo, buddy, I must admit, I underestimated you a little."

At this moment, Siegfried, who had put some distance between them, gazed at Lin Yu with a trace of appreciation already in his pupils.

"Still, I have to say sorry, because right now..."

"--I am actually getting serious!"

At that moment, Lin Yu could see a trace of energy fluctuations actually appearing on Siegfried's fist.

Honkai Energy... Tch, he really thinks highly of me.

Fatigue had already set in, and now he could only find an opportunity to unleash all his power at once and then make further plans.

"Yo, you loved talking just a minute ago, how come you've turned mute now?"

Provoking me with words, are they planning to make me lose focus...

How could a genius of the Kaslana clan still be a fool when it came to combat?

Tch, I was still too arrogant.

To put it bluntly, if Siegfried hadn't thought he was an ordinary person at first and failed to fight seriously, giving him time to adapt to Royal Guard, he probably would have been knocked out by him long ago.

"Sigh, boring."

Siegfried, who had intended to provoke his opponent into exposing an opening, had already pushed his state to the peak.

The amount of Honkai Energy he used was not much, but aside from the intensity of the Honkai Energy, he was extremely serious in every other aspect.

You could even say that ever since the battle against Sirin four years ago up until now, he had never been this serious.

"So now..."

"It's all over!"

"Yeah, it's all over."

Looking at that figure he found hard to catch, Lin Yu took a deep breath and directly thrust out his left hand.

Under the gaze of Siegfried's disbelieving eyes, his punch, imbued with Honkai Energy, was actually precisely parried by Lin Yu.

This was not the end.

"I don't have time to play around with you anymore, Siegfried Kaslana."

At this moment, the power contained within this Honkai-infused punch from Siegfried was stored by Lin Yu inside his body.

Meanwhile, using the power of Royal Guard, Lin Yu condensed all the power stored in his body onto his right fist and directly blasted a punch toward Siegfried's chest.

"...!"

Siegfried, whose fist was grabbed by Lin Yu, had no time to react much before this strike hit his chest.

He didn't even have time to leave any further words before he was sent flying directly by Lin Yu's punch.

Listening to the muffled sound coming from afar, Lin Yu let out a long breath of stale air.

Afterward, Lin Yu ignored Siegfried and immediately turned to look ahead.

His skirmish with Siegfried had probably only lasted around a minute, and in that short amount of time, Kiana should not have gone far.

Taking out the spare motorcycle he had prepared from his storage space, Lin Yu immediately started it up and began sprinting forward at maximum speed.

On the other side, Siegfried, who had been sent flying, climbed out of a park fountain.

"Ow ow ow ow ow... This brat."

Looking at the fist imprint on his chest, Siegfried let out a sharp, pained grunt due to the overwhelming agony.

"To actually be able to send me flying..."

"Are the youngsters in Destiny all monsters nowadays?"

Chapter 36: I Am a Decent Person!

The very instant before he was hit by Lin Yu, Siegfried truly could not react much.

He could only release Honkai Energy at the spot on his chest where he was struck, forming a small shield with it to avoid the tragic fate of sustaining heavy injuries.

Yet even so, Siegfried felt that the injury on his chest bearing the fist imprint was still throbbing with ceaseless, intense pain.

If not for the omnipotent awesomeness of Honkai Energy, Siegfried felt he would have lost half his life even if he didn't die.

He was seriously beat.

How come a little punk who couldn't even use Honkai Energy felt stronger than him?

And now he finally understood why Otto would send him to Changkong City.

According to the reports sent to him by Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, Lin Yu was an exchange student who had been suddenly arranged to come over.

Moreover, as a boy sent as an exchange student to Chiba Academy—a girls' school—it was an awkward situation that obviously looked problematic to any ordinary person.

For Otto to rather let others see the problem than fail to cram Lin Yu over here... was it really still for Kiana's sake?

He had known for a long time that Otto would not let Kiana go.

His goal was to resurrect the Herrscher, and now, the Herrscher had indeed "resurrected."

Since that kid Lin Yu was so capable in a fight, on one hand, Otto sending him over meant protecting Kiana, and on the other hand...

This was presumably one of Otto's backup plans as well.

Once Lin Yu established a relationship of trust with Kiana, if Lin Yu launched a surprise attack and knocked her out, Kiana would be captured and dragged back to Destiny.

Damn, this seemed like a pretty serious situation.

Regardless of whether it was for my daughter or to prevent Otto from having the chance to make trouble, I had no time to rest now...

Besides, the Third Honkai Outbreak was about to erupt.

Aside from betraying her teammates and stirring up trouble at critical moments, what the hell was Cocolia even good for?

What on earth was Welt's reason for recruiting such a person into Anti-Entropy?

Weren't all Herrscher of Reasons big brains?

How could he make such a mistake?

On the other side, after getting on his motorcycle, Lin Yu—having just broken away from the battlefield—finally discovered that his right arm was throbbing with continuous pain.

"Hiss... How did things turn out like this?"

How did things turn out like this—having asked yourself that question, you immediately thought of the answer.

You had just acquired the abilities of Royal Guard and Mirror Mind from the system, but getting the abilities did not mean you could wield them well right away.

Royal Guard was indeed a powerful ability, but as someone using it for the very first time, you were completely unable to drive this formidable mode to perfection.

It was true that you stored power through Royal Guard and then unleashed it to send Siegfried flying, but while sending him away, you also realized your current flaws.

Because of your unfamiliarity, you could not increase the power conversion rate; of the power stored from the attacks of Siegfried's that you parried, in the end only about 20% of it was successfully converted by you.

Furthermore, due to your insufficient mastery over power control, when you blasted out that strike, you failed to properly control the explosive force, which ended up slightly injuring your right hand.

Damn it...

Although you had already started to complain, your heart was actually filled with relief—after all, Siegfried truly hadn't been serious.

If he had been serious, you probably wouldn't have even had the chance to adapt to the combined power of Royal Guard and Mirror Mind, and your tactics would have been beaten flat onto the ground by him in just a few punches.

That was true either.

A person ought to be content.

To still find an opportunity to slip away right in front of the strongest man in history as of the current version, you felt you could brag about this forever!

Ego swelling! My ego is swelling! Driven by such thoughts, the desires in your heart indeed expanded significantly.

Although K423 was not Siegfried's biological daughter, neither of them cared about that; to the two of them, they were the closest family.

And now, since Siegfried had made things hard for you, you decided to recoup your losses at K423's expense!

First * then *, and then--

Hold on for a second.

You didn't make a peep during the fight, yet the moment the battle ended, you started going crazy.

I appreciate you giving me so much stuff, but can you rein it in a bit in certain aspects?

I am a decent person!

A decent person!

Oh, alright.

Yet while saying you are a decent person, you chose to stalk a foreign beauty in the middle of the night... Hehehe, Knight, you know very well what it is that you truly want.

I just want to save my own skin in Otto's hands and see if I can get anyone else to pull me out of the fire.

And besides, when I was fighting Siegfried, you could be that quiet, so why couldn't you maintain that kind of quiet attitude just a little longer?

You are an awesome system, at the very least a big shot involved in hyper-dimensional affairs; can't you have a bit of dignity?

Let me clarify first, when this system was having friendly exchanges with other systems, I once heard other seniors say.

When a host is in combat, hearing the voice from the system makes it easy to get distracted, and getting distracted in battle easily causes the host to be suddenly caught by an opening from the enemy and beaten to death.

This system adopted this measure by taking those seniors' advice into consideration.

Oh, well said.

Your senior system is really reliable.

Indeed, it's just a pity that the mortality rate of his hosts has already reached a whopping 50%.

Who knows if his current Host No. 233 can withstand his tossing and turning.

A mortality rate of fifty percent...

Even though it was a matter unrelated to him, upon hearing these words, Lin Yu suddenly felt a chill sweep across his body.

This conversation could not go on.

If I continue to chat deeply with him on this topic, I'm afraid I'll be scared half to death before I even get to see K423.

Besides, this direction... this is the way toward the TV station.

What on earth is K423 planning to do, charging toward the TV station in the middle of the night instead of going home?

A few kilometers away. Near the TV station building
