Good death, pop the champagne!

This is clearly impossible.

In other words, either our allies have gone berserk, or the enemy has been strengthened; otherwise, these things don't make sense.

After glancing at Yuno beside him, Lin Yu confirmed that Yuno was exuding killing intent, she was at least in a forced calm mode.

"Senior, don't look at me— the Herrscher of Death and the Honkai Consciousness would never show themselves at this time."

Watching Cocolia escape the scene in the chaos, Yuno looked up at the Father who had appeared in front of her and asked Lin Yu.

"Can you handle this robot by yourself, senior?"

"... Heh, go in peace, Yuno."

After stretching his muscles a bit, Lin Yu said to Yuno.

"You've been waiting for this day for a long time, so now, the chance to kill Cocolia is yours."

"I'll take care of this lump of metal, but in return—"

"... Thank you, senior."

After saying this, Yuno immediately summoned a large number of trees on the ground and then threw herself towards Cocolia at top speed.

"... Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Watching Yuno's departing figure, Lin Yu felt that there was no point in thinking any further.

Although the system makes lewd jokes all the time, that doesn't mean everything it says is wrong.

Lin Yu didn't intend to use the cannon on Yuno right now, but he led Yuno astray, so he should take responsibility for that.

However, to turn Yuno back into an ordinary person who has forgotten her hatred, the first thing to do is to let her complete her revenge.

Only in the moment of completing her revenge can her soul be redeemed.

However, now that I think about it carefully, after Yuno went to chase after Cocolia, Siegfried was the only fighting force left by my side.

Although the invincible Fei Ge doesn't go berserk, his ultimate move is extremely dangerous...

Something's not right.

Siegfried could kill the Father with a single sword strike.

Even if he didn't intend to unleash the Flame-Chaser's Judgment —don't you dare put your two guns together!

Seeing that Siegfried had unleashed the zeroth rated power without saying a word, Lin Yu finally understood where his unease came from.

Siegfried was a kind-hearted man who could not bear to see other innocent people suffer.

So when he discovered that the Father might kill innocent people, Siegfried immediately chose to fight the Father without saying a word.

But now, here's the problem.

Just as Siegfried was about to Heavenly Fire: Unleashed to destroy the Father, his intuition suddenly told him something absurd.

Siegfried's intuition told Siegfried that if he were to strike with this sword, he would also kill innocent lives.

Siegfried, whose health was not good to begin with, had already lost much of his control over the Flame-Chaser's Judgment.

After a moment's hesitation, Siegfried's sword actually missed its mark.

Although the fiery sword energy unleashed by the Flame-Chaser's Judgment easily melted a portion of the Father's metal armor, at the same time...

Siegfried, who had used the Flame-Chaser's Judgment multiple times, finally could not stop his injuries and collapsed to the ground.

"... I'm speechless. Is this even possible?"

Seeing Siegfried lying on the ground, Lin Yu rushed over and immediately used Powerful Healing Technique to heal Siegfried, ensuring that he did not die instantly.

A normal Kaslana warrior, after using Heavenly Fire: Unleashed, would either die or be crippled.

Although Siegfried is a genius, since I healed his body, he has used Heavenly Fire: Unleashed once in the Nine Nether and once here.

According to information that Ghost Teacher mentioned to me in a later chat via terminal, he even had sex in Singapore.

If I do the math, three Heavenly Fire: Unleashed in a month—if you don't die, who will?

Ugh, this damn world.

Some people watch the show from behind the scenes, while others repeatedly sacrifice their lives.

And now I understand why his sword missed.

Seeing the 'thing' revealed after the Father's metal was melted, Lin Yu, who had already moved Siegfried to a safe area, finally understood why Siegfried had given up on destroying the Father's core area.

Of course, there was no Herrscher Core in the core area of the Father, which Cocolia had never obtained.

But instead...

At the heart of the Father, a little boy with short blue hair sat blankly in the core cockpit, gazing at everything before him with a dazed look.

In the end, was it because they didn't want to kill innocent people that they avoided the core cockpit where there were living people, and forcibly retrieved some of the Honkai Energy from the Flame-Chaser's Judgment?

A hero is always a hero. Even though he knew that doing so would cause him to be attacked by the Heavenly Fire: Unleashed, he still subconsciously did something that would not harm others.

Right now, however, I feel no compassion, only a growing murderous intent towards Cocolia.

The blue-haired child who appeared before Lin Yu still retained his human form, but Lin Yu saw something in this child that shouldn't belong to him.

On part of the child's torso...

Lin Yu saw the Simulated Herrscher Core that had been transplanted into the child, which was now flashing with an ominous light.

.

Chapter 177. Good riddance, let's pop the champagne!

On the eve of the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, Cocolia, who had not had a chance to participate in the operation and get a share of the spoils, was dealing with other matters at the time.

At that time, Cocolia did have a lot of confidence thanks to the clone soldiers she obtained from Gray Serpent.

However, after recalling her past experiences, Cocolia's confidence soon vanished without a trace due to those painful encounters.

Admittedly, if there are enough clone soldiers, they can indeed become a force to suppress the Schicksal forces.

However, what Cocolia needed was not the combat power to 'suppress the ordinary forces of Schicksal '; the Titan Unit she had previously commanded were sufficient to accomplish this mission objective.

Cocolia needs high-level combat power capable of playing in high-level matches.

Even if she doesn't possess Herrscher- level power, she should at least have the high-end combat strength to suppress S-rank Valkyrie in order to find an opportunity to seize the Herrscher Gem from Schicksal when disaster strikes in the future.

During this period, although Cocolia handed over the DNA of the first Herrscher of Reason to Gray Serpent, she did not give up her research.

During this period of research, Cocolia finally created a product that could enhance the combat power of her trump cards.

While she continued her advanced cloning experiments, Cocolia unexpectedly created a clone with an extremely slow growth rate.

Even with Cocolia's accelerated growth technology, this clone couldn't grow into a fully-fledged Welt clone in a short period of time.

That's why, unlike the three who died after being sent to the St. Freya Academy by Cocolia, he didn't have the fighting power of an entire army on his own.

However, according to Cocolia's research, she discovered that this extremely slow-growing clone not only possesses powerful Honkai Energy Manipulation and Honkai Energy, but also has some powers that are closer to those of the Herrscher of Reason.

What surprised Cocolia even more was that because this special individual's physical growth was slow, his mental growth was at the same level as his physical growth, just like a child.

If given enough time, Cocolia wouldn't mind raising him as her adopted son, so that he could exert his influence in the future and become her right-hand man.

But right now, Cocolia lacks most is time and high-end combat power.

Therefore, Cocolia made a bold decision.

She took a huge gamble, transplanting all the Simulated Herrscher Core from the other clones into this special individual's body.

As a consequence, all the Herrscher Clone soldiers whose cores were removed died.

However, at the same time, the Honkai Energy intensity of this special individual was also greatly enhanced.

Of course, because this special individual's mind is still like that of a child, he is naturally unable to endure the constant pain that erupts during the core transplantation process.

To facilitate control of this special individual, Cocolia had already implanted the same brain chip as Bronya into this special individual's brain.

In this situation, the special individual that had received the transplant of many cores finally gave Cocolia the confidence to compete with others.

Manipulate the other person's mind and body, making them the "core" of the Heavenly Father, and then have Cocolia's subordinates set up an autonomous combat program to guide this special individual to kill the enemy.

Although this method may easily expose too many flaws in the Heavenly Father, for the Heavenly Father with sufficient energy intensity, a few flaws are not a problem at all.

Of course, if the Father is forcibly activated under these circumstances, he will be rendered inoperable due to the driver's mental breakdown.

However, according to Cocolia's extreme tests, that special individual can maintain a combat duration of five minutes.

If they really can't win, Cocolia use the Father's built-in Quantum Teleportation System to remotely teleport the Father back to her base in five minutes.

... This was Cocolia's original plan.

But now, Cocolia is horrified to discover that the Quantum Teleportation System she has always relied on is no longer usable.

Cocolia had originally planned to let God the Father go on a killing spree so she could escape, is now forced to continue her escape on foot.

Actually, Cocolia, who still doesn't recognize Yuno, has an urge to go straight back and kill her.

That purple-haired nurse is definitely not someone to mess with, but Cocolia hold her own against an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie.

Adding this treacherous little girl to the mix... that wouldn't be appropriate.

The killing intent emanating from the other party was truly terrifying.

Even if I could win, it wouldn't be worth it if she slowed me down or even injured me in a trade of injuries.

After glancing at Bronya beside her, Cocolia decided it was better to play it safe.

After using her brain chip to control Bronya to delay the enemy's advance, Cocolia immediately abandoned Bronya, who was stationary, and decided to go alone to find the friendly forces waiting nearby to rendezvous.

As for Yuno was currently frantically chasing after Cocolia, she frowned slightly after seeing Bronya next to Cocolia.

"Bronya, you..."

However, facing Yuno, Bronya didn't say anything more. She simply raised her right hand and commanded Heavy Cannon to fire beam cannons at the trees that Yuno had created.

"Tsk."

Although she has become the Herrscher of Death, Yuno didn't expend enough effort and energy to create the trees because she was chasing after Cocolia.

Such a substandard creation would naturally be easily penetrated by Bronya's beam cannon when facing its attack.

Forced to stop, Yuno stared at the girl in front of her, but sensed no hostility from her whatsoever.

Even at this moment, after seeing the tear stains near Bronya's eyes, Yuno finally understood why Bronya was standing here.

Before taking action, Lin Yu told Yuno that Bronya might be controlled by Cocolia.

Yuno was well aware that Lin Yu said this in the hope that if Yuno fought Cocolia, she would spare Bronya's life.

But now, looking at Bronya attacking her, Yuno's heart was filled with sorrow.

Bronya has been trying to get Cocolia to receive lenient treatment, while at the same time she has been trying to get her despicable foster mother to surrender to Schicksal.

However, the obedient girl who had always been thinking of her adoptive mother has now become a tool for her adoptive mother to get rid of the enemy.

What a wonderful child.

It's just a pity that your mother wasn't a good mother who deserved you; she was a beast who deserved to go to hell.

Bronya...

When you wake up, I won't expect your forgiveness.

But I must take Cocolia's life today!

In the next instant, Yuno activated the Herrscher Core Death core that she hadn't wanted to use, creating Imaginary Barrier to block Bronya's attack.

At the same time, as she placed her right hand on the ground, a wooden doll suddenly appeared behind Bronya.

If Bronya had self-awareness, she would definitely have realized that there might be an enemy behind her after seeing Yuno's actions.

However, now that Bronya's mind and body are being manipulated by the [Valkyrie System], she naturally cannot notice these details as she usually does.

As she sensed the sound of wind breaking behind her, the wooden doll clone Yuno created struck Bronya on the back of the neck.

With Yuno's skillful manipulation of force, she knocked Bronya unconscious with a single blow.

After Bronya fell into a coma, Heavy Cannon disappeared from Yuno's sight very quickly.

Looking at this 'pragmatic' robot, Yuno became even more convinced that Bronya herself did not want to fight.
