Have You Heard Any Strange Noises Lately?

"I've been waiting for this day ever since I found out that you were the one who led me to kill my mother."

Seeing Cocolia rolling on the ground and howling in pain, Yuno calmly took out a sharp knife.

"This poison was specially developed for you using my powers."

"Once it enters a living organism's body, it amplifies the sensation of pain countless times. Even the slightest touch, like a hair brushing against the skin, can become an excruciating pain."

"As for why I know so much about it... after all, I have personally experienced this toxin with my own body, and based on those experiences, I have adjusted the dosage."

"You, you, you... you're absolutely insane!"

After Cocolia uttered those words, she felt an excruciating pain in her hoarse throat.

"A madman? Perhaps. My world has been insane ever since the day I killed my Mom with my own hands."

Looking at Cocolia's face full of resentment, Yuno said very calmly.

"But in the end, it's all your fault, Cocolia."

"I don't know if you were mentally prepared before you took action, but now... none of that matters."

At that moment, Yuno released the Honkai Energy from her body and forcibly sealed her first Herrscher Core.

Judging from her appearance alone, she now looks exactly like the girl she was when she first met Lin Yu —delicate and helpless.

"However, it's time to put an end to this today."

"The one chasing you is Valkyrie Yuno."

"The one who torments you is Yuno, the Herrscher."

"Whether it's Yuno Herrscher or Yuno Valkyrie, they are both people who committed the heinous crime of killing their mothers, and in my opinion..."

"The one most suitable to kill Cocolia is indeed Yuno is human."

Facing Cocolia, who was no longer able to fight, Yuno plunged a knife into her body.

"This stab was for Mei —it's a real shame she's not here today."

"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Seeing Cocolia howling in pain, Yuno felt no emotion and stabbed her again.

"This stab was done on behalf of Kiana."

"I heard her say that she misses her father very much, and you actually used her father to deceive her feelings."

Seeing the Anti-Entropy radical leader start rolling around on the ground again, Yuno unleashed her third strike.

"This stab was done on behalf of Bronya."

"She always thought of you and trusted you so much, and yet you treated that child as a tool to be manipulated at will?"

"That's disgusting."

Having thoroughly understood the human body, Yuno naturally didn't kill Cocolia, but instead stabbed her a fourth time, which was also not fatal.

"This stab was done on behalf of my senior."

"He's been through a lot with you... Sigh, I should have had him come in person, but I really couldn't wait, so I have to apologize to him."

Looking at the ground covered in crimson liquid, Yuno calmly stabbed the fifth time.

"This stab was for myself."

"There's no other reason, I just want to stab you."

"And then—the rest, I did all the work for my Mom!"

At this moment, an uncontrollable look of madness finally appeared on Yuno's face.

"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Repeating the same actions over and over, Yuno had committed a brutal act, discovered an unexpected change within herself.

Yuno once wondered what she would become after her revenge was over.

She didn't know whether she would suddenly start crying loudly after killing Cocolia, or feel an immense sense of joy.

However, after taking her enemy's life with her blade, Yuno was lying on the ground, suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

She didn't have an emotional breakdown to the point of crying, nor did she become completely ecstatic.

Yuno felt an immense sense of peace within her.

Only after Yuno heard the familiar footsteps behind her did she slowly turn her head, Yuno mind and body completely calm.

Behind her, Lin Yu caught up, holding a bottle of cheap champagne in his left hand and two bottles of cheap champagne in his right, a look of regret on his face.

After confirming that Cocolia was dead, Lin Yu shook the champagne in his left hand and sprayed it all over Yuno's face.

"... What a terrible taste."

Yuno had just been sprayed with champagne, took out a handkerchief, wiped the champagne off her face, and said to Lin Yu with great disgust.

"Senior, if you're going to open a bottle of champagne, couldn't you have bought a better one?"

"Oh, this thing is mainly for washing your face—look at the murder scene you've created, walking out with your face covered in blood will scare the kids."

"And besides..."

Looking at Cocolia, who was now dead with her eyes wide open, Lin Yu felt a pang of regret and said irritably.

"This champagne is to celebrate Cocolia's good death, Cocolia..."

"—This trash's life is worthless, using expensive champagne is too much of an honor for her."

"That's true."

After taking another bottle of cheap champagne from Lin Yu, Yuno shook it vigorously.

At the same time, Lin Yu, holding a bottle of champagne, began to make the same gesture Yuno.

In the next instant, the boy and girl simultaneously tapped the champagne bottle lightly against the ground and opened it in the same way.

As cheap champagne sprayed into the air and landed on the two men, they finally shouted out that sentence at the same time.

"May you die a good death—"

"Let's pop the champagne!"

Chapter 178. Have you heard any strange noises lately?

When Siegfried awoke from his coma, the first thing he saw was his Father lying on the ground.

"What... what exactly happened?"

After standing up from the ground, clutching his head, Siegfried looked around and finally regained full consciousness.

This hospital, funded by Schicksal, was located in the suburbs, so when Cocolia sent the Titans to attack, there were relatively few innocent people around.

In this situation, although the Heavenly Father and the Titan Brigade startled the civilians in the area, they did not cause too many casualties.

However, after Siegfried took out his terminal, he noticed that the time displayed on it seemed like only a short time had passed since he was teleported there...

Three minutes???

No, this giant metal behemoth did take one of my Heavenly Fire attacks, but it missed its mark. It's only lasted three minutes...

Oh, right, I forgot that Cocolia sent the mechs to capture Lin Yu.

With Brother Lin Yu around, all these questions can be explained.

Lin Yu's current record is that he has seemingly defeated the Fourth Herrscher alone. Even if he was injured, dismantling a large Titan would not be difficult for him.

And also...

Siegfried ran quickly to the vicinity of the Father's remains, and when he saw the large hole on the outside of the Father and the interior that was almost completely destroyed, he gasped in shock.

Siegfried wasn't particularly intelligent, but when it came to combat, his intellect far surpassed that of the average person.

The strength of a Honkai Energy Warrior depends primarily on the strength of Honkai Energy and the level of its application, aside from secondary factors such as combat skills and experience.

As a seasoned Honkai Energy warrior, Siegfried could naturally tell that the robot in front of him had been defeated in one blow.

After piercing the robot's outer armor with a powerful attack, unleash a second burst of power from within... oh...

If this move were used on a person... ugh, that would be a terrifying move.

Thinking back to the scene when he met Lin Yu in Changkong City two months ago, Siegfried felt that Lin Yu was terrifying in every sense of the word.

At first, Siegfried just thought that the other party seemed to have some strange skills, and considering that although the other party was a member of Schicksal, he did not seem to be a bad person, so he did not go all out and did not even use much Honkai Energy.

Looking back now... it's a good thing I didn't offend him.

Just a few hours after parting ways with Siegfried, Lin Yu displayed incredibly terrifying power.

After parrying the Herrscher of Thunder's attack with special techniques, she instantly killed the Herrscher of Thunder, and finally used the legendary, incredibly powerful HSN Serum to completely suppress the Herrscher.

In Siegfried's eyes, this battle was a testament to an incredibly confident young talent who, after meticulously planning everything, methodically resolved all obstacles.

The two met for the third time inside the Nine Nether.

This time, when Siegfried and Theresa's combined attack failed to kill Chiyou, Lin Yu directly fused with the power of the Herrscher of Thunder and shattered Chiyou's heart with a single punch.

The third meeting between the two parties took place in the suburbs of Singapore.

Although Lin Yu didn't see Siegfried this time, Siegfried saw Lin Yu collapse exhausted, seemingly... well, he was convinced that Bianca was definitely his daughter.

During this time, Siegfried looked at Bianca's photos and felt more and more that she was his child.

In short, Lin Yu, who collapsed in Bianca's arms, later became the hero who resolved the Fourth Honkai Outbreak.

This time, the giant robot that appeared in front of Siegfried was actually quite powerful; otherwise, Siegfried wouldn't have needed to Heavenly Fire: Unleashed right away.

This time, however, he softened his heart for some reason and failed to Heavenly Fire: Unleashed to successfully defeat the enemy.

This time, the enemy he considered a threat was instantly killed by Lin Yu.

Wow, that's really scary.

If only I had been nicer to Brother Lin Yu back then... oh, actually I was quite rude to Brother Lin Yu back then.

The first time we met, I used Flame-Chaser's Judgment to blow up his motorcycle...

Thinking about it this way, the guy later saved me several times despite our past grievances, which is really kind of him.

If he were the kind of person who holds grudges, then I'd be 100% dead by now.

The more Siegfried connected the dots, the more frightened he felt.

Before that, he even had the idea that 'this kid dared to wrong my daughter, I must teach him a lesson'.

Now it seems there's no doubt who taught whom a lesson.

My Heavenly Fire: Unleashed, and for ordinary opponents, this gap is not very large.

But for Lin Yu, whose reaction speed is as fast as a monster, I might not even have a chance to combine my two guns.

Moreover, they saved me twice from the Herrscher of Thunder and this giant robot...

Sigh, the favors I owe are getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know how I'm going to repay them.

After settling the poor clone child beside him, Siegfried felt his head begin to ache.

He didn't understand economics, but looking at his old friend Ryoma's haggard face, he knew very well that Anti-Entropy was currently short of money.

Then, with no money Anti-Entropy hand, Cocolia ransacked the surrounding suburbs of England.

Although thanks to Lin Yu's efforts, Cocolia's foolish actions did not result in any casualties, but...

—You stupid woman, you'll have to pay me back!

How come you're so efficient at dragging things down?

Now, the radicals, because of Cocolia's previous foolish actions, have long been forced to hide, treated like rats in the street.
