Mr. Su, How Could It Come to This!

But now...

Looking at the blade Lin Yu handed her, Bronya put it aside and finally looked at Lin Yu, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Bronya, can you cry for a little while?"

"Just for a little while... just for a little while..."

"After that..."

"Bronya, cheer up in a bit."

Looking at the crying girl in front of him, Lin Yu hugged her and said nothing more.

At this moment, Bronya, who was heartbroken, did not take her anger out on Lin Yu. Instead, she leaned against him and burst into tears.

Listening to Bronya's cries, Lin Yu honestly felt a bit conflicted.

He has no parents, so naturally he doesn't understand the other person's feelings.

But now...

Sigh, if I could, I wouldn't want to say these kinds of things when you're feeling down.

There's nothing we can do about it right now.

Bronya, you are a good daughter.

It's just a pity that your adoptive mother Cocolia, wasn't a good mother.

She doesn't deserve to be your mother, so...

—After we've finished crying and grieving, everyone and I will try our best to help you forget her.

Chapter 181. Mr. Su, why go to such lengths!

England, outskirts

Near the area where Lin Yu was attacked, the Divine Machine Force and Valkyrie Force dispatched by Otto had already arrived.

Even before Otto took action, Schicksal had informed senior England officials that they would be conducting a search operation in the vicinity in the coming days.

Now that Otto had finished making all the arrangements, he directly ordered the Divine Machine Force to conduct a thorough search.

The fact that Lin Yu was attacked here means that the holder of the Void Key is obviously nearby.

According to historical rumors about the Void Key, the probability that the Void Key and its owner both exist in this place is actually high enough in Otto's eyes.

Among the Divine Machine mechs dispatched by Otto, 80% of the mechs were equipped with ultrasonic generators.

The ultrasonic waves emitted by these mechs will provide a comprehensive scan of the entire area, and the emitted sound waves will be captured by a receiver on the other side.

As long as the detection mechs in the Divine Machine Force follow these mechs and measure the time it takes for each segment of sound wave to reach the receiver, Otto can determine whether there is a folded space nearby by whether the duration is abnormal.

Of course, all this preparation was made purely because Otto valued the Divine Key very much.

In fact, he believed that these backup plans might not be useful once he arrived near the Void Key.

Otto, inside the transport plane, nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the energy barrier that had suddenly appeared outside.

"Very good, very good, I like talking to smart people."

The barrier that suddenly appeared from the outside blocked the Divine Machine troops' path.

Upon seeing the figure appear near the barrier, Otto knew that the master of the Void Key he had been waiting for had arrived before him.

"I had no intention of revealing myself, so why are you forcing me, Bishop?"

A man with squinty eyes; he doesn't look like a good person...

Hey, this is the guy Lin Yu was talking about, right?

What are you doing, acting all high and mighty? If you really didn't have any ulterior motives, you wouldn't have taken Lin Yu away and done all those tests and assessments.

However, Otto naturally couldn't immediately tell the truth to the man in front of him.

After all, the other party still holds the right to possess the Void Key.

Otto, who was determined to obtain the Void Key, naturally had to be cautious and respectful in his attitude and actions when facing the mysterious man before him.

"Unintentionally revealed? Sir, you must be joking."

After commanding the Divine Machine Force to retreat to a safe area, Otto looked at the mysterious 'young man' in front of him and said without any politeness.

"Just today, you attacked a member of our Schicksal."

"What, sir? Since you dared to attack my people, why are you now hesitant to admit your mistakes?"

Yes, that's the explanation I was expecting.

After hearing Otto's words, Su, who was inside the Sumeru Mustard Seed, shook his head with a wry smile.

"Sir, there's no need for such pointless nonsense."

"You and I both know that you didn't come here to avenge your men."

"You came here so quickly, frankly, just because you want the Thousand Worlds Annihilation that I have, right?"

This guy knows exactly what I'm thinking.

Even so, I cannot appear too eager for the Void Key.

The Thousand Worlds Annihilation is one of the necessary tools for my plan, but no one else knows about it except me.

One must not show too much longing when facing the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, otherwise...

Hey, right now the other party might just be guessing, but once they realize my true intentions, I'll be in a passive position.

When the two sides are negotiating, whoever loses the initiative will eventually be forced to make concessions.

If it's an old friend or a nice person, then it's okay to give in a little.

After all, a kind-hearted person won't take advantage of you; on the contrary, they might feel a little embarrassed after you've been sincere with them.

But this man...

Those who can master the Divine Key are basically connected to the Previous Era.

Even a simple, honest person like an old friend holds many secrets—it's just a pity that she's forgotten almost all of them.

If we follow this line of reasoning, then what's in front of me might be an ancient monster from 50,000 years ago.

Lin Yu wasn't the only member of the Schicksal group visiting England, but he attacked Lin Yu right after Lin Yu arrived.

Is Lin Yu too special?

Or perhaps—he simply picked a random member of Schicksal during this period and launched a random attack to demonstrate his presence?

"Mr. Otto, I think I know what you're thinking."

Inside the Sumeru Mustard Seed, Su revealed a profound smile as she looked at the transport plane where Otto was.

"You're probably using your brilliant brain to analyze my intentions behind this sudden attack, right?"

"It's just a pity that the more silent you are, the more I feel that I can roughly see your flaws."

"Oh?"

Listening to Sue's declaration, Otto asked with great interest.

"A weakness? What weakness do I have?"

"Sir, I'm speaking to you politely now because I don't want my men to waste their lives on pointless battles."

"But I hope you understand one thing—my treasuring the lives of my subordinates does not mean that we, the Schicksal, are afraid of battle!"

As Otto delivered those words with great momentum, the mechs of the Divine Machine Force simultaneously aimed their weapons at the projection of Su that was displayed in front of everyone.

"Explain your purpose, holder of the Void Key."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind using some brutal methods to force you out!"

Hearing Otto's battle-ready words, the pilots of the Divine Machine Squad and the Valkyrie waiting on the transport ship simultaneously prepared for battle.

Looking at his opponent, who was already prepared for battle, Su couldn't help but admire Otto, who was indeed a qualified leader in the eyes of most of the Schicksal members.

That is why, even though Su and Lin Yu already had some trump cards and plans, they did not dare to prepare to forcibly suppress Otto.

Although this man has been harming loyal and righteous people who threaten the Honkai of the regime for the past five hundred years, he has been very good at pretending on the surface.

Even though Siegfried survived the attack with the fission bomb, no one believed what Siegfried said. Instead, they thought that "Siegfried went mad and started talking nonsense after his wife died" or "Siegfried harbored resentment towards the bishop because Cecilia died."

Public opinion is something you can't see or touch normally, but it's incredibly important when you need it.

However, this was also within Su's calculations.

In Su's view, regardless of whether Otto had intelligence about Su, he would use this kind of show of force to directly pressure Su into taking action.

After all, for Otto, the lives of his subordinates and the battle mechs of Schicksal were merely consumables on his way to achieving Otto goals.

If Otto could gain ownership of the Void Key simply by sacrificing some members of Schicksal, then it would definitely be a huge win for Otto.

Mr. Otto had a lot of schemes, and most of them were quite effective.

He is a really smart man.

It's a pity he wasn't a good person.

"Mr. Otto, are you threatening me?"

Sensing a chill and a hint of tension in the other person's words, Otto tapped lightly on the table in front of him and spoke to Su in a very kind manner.

"You can understand it this way: this gentleman who hides his true identity."

"We, Schicksal, are the largest anti- Honkai organization in the world, and you are undoubtedly an enemy to Schicksal."

"To be an enemy of our Schicksal is to be an enemy of humanity. To be an enemy of humanity—then you are a traitor who has sided with the Honkai."

"Do you think I need to be polite to a traitor to humanity?"

In just a few words, Sue went from a mysterious figure who ambushed members of Schicksal to a villain who had defected to the Honkai by Otto.

After Otto finished speaking, Su Neng, a mental Fusion Warrior, felt that the morale on the scene had indeed risen even higher.

Oh, that's not all.

A small group of people even harbored an incredibly terrifying killing intent towards Su Ran.

Well, that's normal, after all.

The number of deaths in this era was not as high as in our era, but there were still some victims whose everything was taken away by the Honkai.

When a 'person' who has sided with the Honkai appears before them, they will surely want to destroy this traitor who betrayed humanity.

Looking at Otto in front of him, Su subconsciously compared Otto with the original high-ranking officials of the Previous Era and Lin Yu in the illusion, and felt a chill.

Among these three types of leaders, Lin Yu, who seems to see through everything, always takes the lead in fights, and finds ways to take the risks upon himself so that others don't risk their lives while he does, is definitely the best choice.

However, Lin Yu mentioned it to Su directly during their casual chat while sparring.

Don't assume that the me in the illusion is the same as the me in reality. Expecting me to be this fearless in real life is simply impossible.

[The person in the illusion dared to act this way because I knew I wouldn't die in this place. Don't overthink it, and don't think of yourself as some kind of superhero.]

Yes, that's how it is.

Putting aside the illusion that even Lin Yu himself found unrealistic, Lin Yu, after comparing the former high-ranking officials of the Previous Era with Otto, really felt that it was hard to put into words.

Although the insectoids of the Previous Era did contribute to maintaining the organization, they were able to split into factions such as 'fighting for profit', 'collaborating with the Honkai to Honkai ', and 'suppressing the warriors because they felt the warriors were too strong'.

There were good people among the high-ranking officials of the Previous Era, but it's not easy to be a good person these days.

When a person of integrity encounters those shameless scoundrels, it's considered lucky if they die a peaceful death.

As for Otto, the leader of humanity in this era...

To be honest, he is much more capable than those insects.

Before a battle, they use persuasive words to inspire and motivate the enemy.

He usually puts on a good leader's act in front of his subordinates, but reveals his cold-blooded nature in front of his superiors.
