This battle allows only victory, no defeat!

[Ever since this system warned you to use slideshows less, you've still been messing around with them.]

Although swallowing the Simulated Herrscher Core and connecting with the Herrscher Core haven't had much of an impact on you right now, it doesn't mean you're truly alright.

Wow, that's terrifying. So what exactly is the problem?

You've probably heard the phrase "overwork leads to illness."

The Full Vitality Recovery Potion can only heal your physical wounds; it can't stop the effects of these items on you in other ways.

Yes, I know that.

[And now, due to your overuse of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, you are getting closer and closer to disappearing from existence.]

In this situation, your body already has hidden health problems. So, do you think that when other issues erupt all at once, your overworked and weakened body will really be able to support you to continue fighting?

The implication is so obvious.

This is already a clear indication; be a little careful.

[The owner of that Voidpower Gem Shard you possess was able to revert from a state of 'disappearance' back to being an ordinary person in the original story because a powerful figure helped her out.]

[And you, right now, haven't found that powerful figure who can lend you a hand.]

That's enough.

Trying to fight the Honkai might give them an opportunity to Honkai their cores and go berserk.

Taking it easy by not Honkai is one approach, but thinking about it carefully— Honkai has its eye on me now. If I don't go looking for trouble with Honkai, they'll come looking for Honkai with me.

This is not a way of thinking; it's a dead end.

Ultimately, it's because I'm not strong enough.

[No, you're still rolling in the water?]

The probability of surviving the heavenly tribulation is 99%, which is no different from sending someone to their death—not to mention that my probability is far lower than 99%.

[Um, that's not what this system meant...]

My mind is made up!

After I go to the beach to relax in a few days, I'll come back and continue rolling.

As long as I don't die from the rolls, I'll roll them as hard as I can, and see if I get taken Honkai first, or...

—I Honkai out the Honkai!

Schicksal Headquarters, Otto's Office

At this moment, Otto looked at the screen and felt extremely worried, even sweating profusely.

In the past five hundred years, the progress of Otto's plan to save Kallen has not been as fast as it has been in these two months.

But the closer the progress bar of the plan got to 100%, the more desperate Otto became.

Originally, Otto believed that although he had no choice but to give the Blank Key to Lin Yu, given Lin Yu's aptitude, even if he used the Blank Key, he should not have been able to easily connect to the Herrscher Core.

After all, from the moment Otto discovered that Lin Yu was abnormal, he conducted a full physical examination on Lin Yu when Lin Yu first came to the Schicksal Headquarters.

Most of the information from this inspection has been made public, with only a small portion known to Otto.

In that limited intelligence, Otto confirmed that Lin Yu's adaptability to the Herrscher Core was not exactly zero, but it was extremely low.

Lin Yu's compatibility in this regard was so low that Otto was too lazy to waste money on an experiment and take a gamble.

But today, Otto discovered that things were even more wrong.

He himself had no intention of spying on Lin Yu and the others.

But today, Otto suddenly saw Theresa return to her office crying and shouting, "Judah is an idiot!" and then frantically pounding the table.

Otto, who was concerned about his granddaughter, had of course already installed surveillance cameras in all the places where Theresa would appear.

After the surveillance footage was retrieved, Otto fell silent.

In the video, Lin Yu conducted an experiment connecting the Blank Key and the Divine Key.

This was within Otto's expectations; otherwise, Otto wouldn't feel so troubled as usual.

However, when he saw Lin Yu easily manipulating the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, and even having his arms actively bound by Judah's Iron Chains, Otto felt that something was wrong.

Theresa was 'betrayed' by the Oath of Judah, which, under normal circumstances... well, is a big deal.

However, if Oath of Judah was betrayed by Theresa because of Lin Yu, then the matter becomes even more serious.

In the video, Lin Yu demonstrated terrifying adaptability after connecting to three different Herrscher Core.

Moreover, Otto did not forget one thing.

Lin Yu's mind is usually sharp most of the time, and the reason I can suppress him is purely because of the fact that ' Lin Yu wants to take revenge on the Honkai and therefore will follow the instructions of the Bishop of Schicksal '.

But now that Lin Yu can switch cores using the Blank Key, as long as he carries two Divine Key when he goes out, he can completely manipulate Herrscher- level enemies by switching between weaponry and powers.

As for Sirin...

Otto felt very uncomfortable.

Even if Otto finds a time now to insert the Plague Flame into Kiana's body and then fill Kiana with Honkai Energy so that Sirin can take control of her body, he thinks it will be no easy task for Sirin to defeat Lin Yu alone.

Now, the Far East Branch has veteran experts like Theresa and Fu Hua, as well as two Herrscher, Raiden Mei Yuno.

With Lin Yu, Sirin now has absolutely no chance of winning.

Sirin acted so arrogantly during the Second Honkai Eruption 3rd largely because she didn't encounter a sufficiently powerful enemy when she was being arrogant.

Now, if Sirin had even a shred of sense, she wouldn't choose to step forward when Kiana has so many powerful allies around her.

If Sirin doesn't show herself, Otto won't be able to obtain the 'complete' Herrscher of the Void, and his plan will be stuck at this step and completely blocked.

Now that the Fourth Honkai Outbreak has ended, there are fewer signs of Fifth Honkai Outbreak, but fewer signs don't mean none.

It hasn't even been half a month yet!

Honkai God, why are you in such a hurry!

In the past, Otto hoped that Lin Yu would rest and not die on the battlefield, so he forcibly confined him for a month to rest at the Far East Branch.

However, Otto now feels that his decision was correct, but there was a slight mishap in other aspects.

The Honkai is accelerating, and the start of this acceleration coincides with the time of Lin Yu's debut.

In other words, if Otto were to boldly speculate, then— the Honkai is undoubtedly wary of Lin Yu.

This is a ridiculous speculation. After all, the Honkai is the enemy of all mankind. Such an existence would be wary of a single human being. If Otto said this in front of other people, five out of ten people would think he had gone mad, and the other five would think, "The bishop seems too tired and needs to rest."

But Otto now firmly believes that this basically baseless speculation is the correct answer.

He placed Lin Yu under house arrest, which was the right thing to do in a sense.

But now, Otto shouldn't be worried about Lin Yu being killed by the Honkai, but rather that Lin Yu is getting stronger too fast.

Lin Yu's speed of becoming stronger is too fast → the Honkai is more wary of Lin Yu → the Honkai accelerates the creation of large-scale Honkai, giving birth to Herrscher → Otto has even less time to execute his plan.

Furthermore, there are some branching paths that need to be considered during this process.

These two branch routes are respectively—

Firstly, the Honkai was wary of Lin Yu → the Honkai attempted to suppress Lin Yu → Lin Yu died in the Honkai → Lin Yu did not die at Sirin's hands → Otto's plan would be delayed again.

Secondly, the Honkai was wary of Lin Yu → the Honkai tried to suppress Lin Yu → Lin Yu was stimulated like a spring and became stronger because the Honkai tried to suppress him → Lin Yu quickly strengthened → after two more Honkai, Lin Yu directly strengthened to the point of easily defeating Sirin → Otto's plan was either forced to change or went bankrupt.

Lin Yu has now become a huge problem for Otto.

If Lin Yu is involved, Otto's plan may have to be delayed.

If Lin Yu doesn't move, Otto's plan—damn it—might have to be postponed.

The Honkai is accelerating, and the probability of the plan failing is greatly increased if the plan is delayed.

Faced with this predicament, Otto just wanted to ask...

—It's only been two and a half months since Lin Yu obtained the Stigmata in Changkong City. Is it really reasonable for him to have become so strong?

Bianca has gone through so much and trained for so long!

Unfortunately, even though Otto internally roared out these questions, no one could tell him why things had turned out this way.

The bishop, who considered himself the smartest man in the world, felt that if things continued like this, he would probably be driven insane by that vengeful boy.

Moreover, although the current Schicksal is full of talented people, Otto had depleted his talent reserves in the battle fourteen years ago.

Otto has very few cards left to play.

Oh, you can't say that.

If he only wanted to fight the Honkai, Bianca and Theresa would be reliable henchmen for him.

Even Siegfried and Welt might be forced to fight the Honkai alongside Otto due to his schemes.

However, before reviving Kallen, Otto's goal wasn't to kill the Honkai, but to nurture Honkai. Under this premise...

Reliable, capable, obedient, not very bright... Bianca is one of them.

However, she happens to be a member of the Kaslana clan, and while she has a strong sense of justice, her unreliable intuition is also a hindrance.

My old friend has almost returned to her peak condition now. It was only because I acted out her back then that she didn't turn against me directly. So even old friends can't be relied on anymore.

Theresa... Oh, my dear granddaughter, you certainly wouldn't help me with these things.

Originally, Lin Yu would have been a very good piece, but now, this piece has become too powerful and even threatens my plans.

Sure enough, I still need a reliable and obedient helper.

Sigh, I didn't want her to wake up so soon.

However, I'm almost finished with the Jade Knight set, and I'm running out of cards... so...

As expected, the only option is to wake her up ahead of schedule.

Although she is a bit naive in dealing with people, that's exactly the kind of strong ally I need who trusts me.

In my eyes, she, who is completely clueless about the situation, might be able to help me get through these difficulties.

Having made up his mind, Otto quickly walked out of the office and went to the location where the Fifth Divine Key, [Dormancy of All Things], was kept, and opened the Divine Key in front of him.

As Otto opened the Divine Key, the girl who had been inside it finally opened her eyes slightly.

Facing the blank-eyed girl before him, Otto smiled at this friend he had known for five hundred years.

"Hey, do you still recognize me?"

After a moment of surprise, the girl realized that the man in front of her seemed to be a foreign friend she valued very much.

Completely unaware of the situation, the girl slowly asked the man in front of her a question.

"Is that you...?"

"Rosharian..."

In response to the girl's question, Otto smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's me."

"It's been a long time, Su Shang."

Chapter 206. In this battle, only victory is allowed; defeat is not permitted!

World Serpent Base

Inside the World Serpent's main base, Administrator Gray Serpent reviewed the intelligence gathered over the past few days...

Well, he really couldn't see any hope that could help him overcome despair.

The overall trajectory of the world's three major anti- Honkai organizations is actually quite simple.

After Cocolia died, the Anti-Entropy radicals stopped causing trouble and obediently joined forces with the conservatives under Raiden Ryoma's influence.

In this situation, non-split Anti-Entropy is much more difficult to deal with than in the past.

Schicksal aside Schicksal, after Cocolia squandered ME Company's fortune, Schicksal took on Project Mei's products and the Father in Changkong City and England, which raised its technological level to a new level.
