Master Really Hasn't Been Spoiling You for Nothing

At the same time, Fu Hua, who had just been calmly embracing Lin Yu, suddenly started frantically retreating from Lin Yu's side as if she had been electrocuted.

Ah, this...

What happened, Tongsang?

[This is incredible, what kind of move is this?]

[Because the Herrscher of Reason said something that made Fu Hua feel extremely embarrassed, it actually provoked Fu Hua's own personality, which was already gradually losing ground and hadn't even realized the true nature of the situation. Suddenly, out of shyness, Fu Hua gained the upper hand.]

[Sigh, a brat is always a brat; when it comes to messing things up, she really is—anyway, the opportunity has arrived, host!]

Yes, the opportunity has arrived!

Seeing Fu Hua's face gradually flush, Lin Yu Fu Hua asked her a question.

"Master, have you... calmed down?"

"Don't want..."

"Ah, you don't want what?"

"Don't—call me Master!"

At this moment, Fu Hua recalled the words she had just spoken and felt ashamed to face anyone.

What's wrong with me? Why did I say those strange things?

And Lin Yu —he's actually such a lecher!

No, that's not right. How is it that my apprentice is a lecherous man for being close to me?

Moreover, after he kissed me, my body returned to its peak condition, which shows that my apprentice had his reasons!

Yes, Lin Yu had his reasons—his healing abilities weren't powerful enough to warrant such treatment!

Fu Hua should have calmed herself down, but once she noticed the anomalies in these events, she felt a little uneasy.

He's definitely hiding something from me!

However, everyone has some little secrets, which is actually quite normal.

But now that I know, I have to make him say it!

He's young and can't control what he should and shouldn't do!

If I hadn't punched Otto's head off, not only him, but even that little girl Durandal would still be bewitched by Otto!

Is this really what I think?

Furthermore, why am I now sensing an incredibly terrifying energy fluctuation coming from not far away?

It's not Honkai Energy, it's Herrscher energy!

Putting aside Lin Yu's ulterior motives for now, how could a fearless Herrscher appear here?!

He's gone too far!

No, ultimately, why can I sense the fluctuations of the Herrscher's energy?

At this moment, Fu Hua, who had already vaguely sensed the truth, looked at her three comrades-in-arms beside her.

Unsurprisingly, the three people in front of them did not detect this special Herrscher energy.

Sure enough, only I could sense this special power.

Those thoughts were not all my own.

I loathe Otto, and perhaps I have even harbored murderous intent towards him.

However, destroying the Schicksal Headquarters in order to kill Otto is clearly too extreme.

The internal strife within Schicksal will reduce everyone's efficiency in fighting the Honkai.

And yet, I can do things that benefit the Honkai, and easily sense the energy of the Herrscher...

—Without a doubt, it's the Herrscher.

Chapter 220. Master really didn't spoil you for nothing.

When Fu Hua realized that she had become Herrscher, she immediately tried to take a step back.

But just as she was about to take action, an idea suddenly popped into her head.

No, that's not right, why should I back away?

It's strange, even if I made this prediction, I am still me.

Whether it's Mei Yuno.

After obtaining the Herrscher Core, they all became Herrscher on the side of humanity by experiencing a certain degree of shock.

My willpower is stronger than theirs, so...

Even if I become Herrscher now, I can still become Herrscher on the human side through my own will!

Why should I back down?

No, no, this is the Will of Honkai manipulating my thoughts!

Having learned the truth, Fu Hua had different thoughts after they popped into her mind, and she immediately understood the Will of Honkai's actions this time.

Because Fu Hua is Fusion Warrior, which is more powerful than a regular Herrscher Candidate, the Honkai chose her this time and clearly used a completely different method than that used on other Herrscher.

Fu Hua still has a 'Herrscher Persona' within her, but the Will of Honkai does not make her Herrscher Persona realize that she is a 'Herrscher Persona'. Instead, it keeps instilling the idea that 'you are Fu Hua herself' into her Herrscher Persona.

In this situation, the Herrscher Persona will not see itself as Herrscher, but will act in accordance with the guidance of the Honkai.

This method is rather troublesome, but it is also discreet enough.

If it weren't for the fleeting glimpse of Herrscher energy in the distance, Fu Hua wouldn't have known what state she was in.

Moreover, that Herrscher energy fluctuation...

I see. This familiar feeling... it's Yuno.

If it's an energy fluctuation emitted by one of our own people, then I don't need to worry for the time being—bullshit!

Although the little girl suppressed the personality within the Herrscher Core, she would still be affected by the Honkai in the end.

I finally understand why she would want to ignore the potential disaster she might cause.

There is indeed a Herrscher Persona within me, but that Herrscher Persona is not me, it is you!

You despicable bastard, after my enlightenment, you disguised yourself as the old, pedantic me, trying to usurp my place and turn me, the real Fu Hua, into a 'Herrscher'?

You've gone too far!

At this moment, Fu Hua, who had already sensed that the other personality within her was beginning to rebel violently, immediately tried to maintain her composure while speaking to the three comrades in front of her.

"Su, Lin Yu, Durandal, although it was very sudden, I have become Herrscher."

"To prevent me from being guided by the Honkai and causing even greater disaster, the three of you must immediately join forces to attack me and knock me unconscious!"

"Lin Yu, do you have HSN Serum with you...?"

Seeing Lin Yu pull out an 'HSN Serum' that looked a bit off in color from somewhere, Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

"You really are meticulous."

"Master, you..."

Looking at Fu Hua in front of him, Lin Yu, who had already drawn his God-Slaying Spear, said to Fu Hua with great helplessness.

"I'm sorry, please bear with it."

"I've already told you, don't call me Master anymore..."

This child, sigh...

"Lin Yu, step back."

Seeing Lin Yu preparing to approach Fu Hua, Durandal suddenly stepped forward and blocked the way between Lin Yu and Fu Hua.

At the same time, Lin Yu suddenly took a step back, avoiding Fu Hua's unexpected attack.

"Tch, Herrscher... you have some nerve!"

At this moment, Fu Hua, her eyes bloodshot, glared at Durandal, who was blocking Lin Yu's way, and threw a vicious punch at Durandal.

"Get out of my way, you little brat!"

"That damned Herrscher actually tried to weaken me with the HSN Serum in order to slow me down."

"That's enough! That damned Herrscher Persona, not only did it impersonate my past self, but it also came up with such a vicious method!"

Durandal, who had used the Black Abyss White Flower to shield herself, was unexpectedly forced back a step by her opponent.

No, wait, this terrifying shock—is she trying to kill Lin Yu?!

If I hadn't stood in front of Lin Yu just now, even if Lin Yu had sensed something was wrong and taken a step back, this guy might have taken advantage of Lin Yu's lack of preparation for battle and delivered a powerful blow.

Fu Hua... Honkai really went all out, choosing to make her Herrscher.

However, we must admit that Honkai's gamble this time has indeed caused us considerable trouble.

By using this method, it threw Fu Hua into chaos, directly crippling one of our powerful warriors, and turning the confused Fu Hua into our enemy.

Fu Hua's actions were not problematic in themselves. Lin Yu and I worked together, and even if that man named Su didn't take any action, as long as he didn't help Fu Hua, Lin Yu and I could have taken Fu Hua down and then temporarily suppressed the Herrscher Persona within her with the HSN Serum.

"Little girl, I'll say it again..."

Looking at Durandal attack on Lin Yu, Fu Hua said to Durandal unhappily, word by word.

"I don't hate you, but now—you have to get out of my way!"

"Come on, do you think I'd give you a chance to ambush Lin Yu?"

"You, you, you, you, you're going to drive me crazy!"

Seeing her comrade-in-arms treating her with such an attitude, Fu Hua, her eyes bloodshot, stomped her foot in fury and pointed at Durandal's nose, cursing loudly.

"Have you even figured out one thing? If we all start fighting here at Schicksal Headquarters, who'll be happy? If we humans fight amongst ourselves, the Honkai will laugh themselves to death!"

Ah, that makes some sense.

"Letting a few high-end human combatants fight amongst themselves is the real plan of the Honkai. You big-breasted, brainless little girl, think carefully about whether what I said makes sense!"

Ah, that makes sense.

Durandal, who was already a little suspicious, was now really ready to turn around and look at Lin Yu behind her, seeking answers from him.

But when Durandal shifted her gaze away from Fu Hua, the first thing she saw was not anything else, but her fellow Schicksal Ones who had been indirectly harmed by Fu Hua in the previous attack.

At the same time, following Durandal's gaze, Fu Hua glanced at those innocent and unlucky souls and suddenly felt incredibly guilty, saying...

"I admit, I did get a little too hasty in my pursuit of Otto just now—but that's Otto's and the Honkai's fault, isn't it?"

"If Otto hadn't done anything wrong, what would have been wrong with cooperating with him? Why would I bother hunting him down?"

"Honkai there in the Honkai area—hmph, it must be the Herrscher Persona that interfered with the precision of my energy release, causing the energy to spread to places it shouldn't have!"

"Bianca, stop staring at me like you're interrogating a criminal. These are just Honkai caused by the Honkai—its purpose is to sow discord!"

"Ah, that's true."

After turning her gaze away, Durandal looked at Lin Yu behind her and said to Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, although I still feel that something is wrong, I'm not as smart as you to begin with—I can't trust this man. Now, I can only trust your judgment."

"...Then please step aside, Bianca."

After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Yu gestured for Durandal to move aside, and then walked towards the gray-haired woman in front of him without maintaining a fighting stance.

"I believe my master would not harm me."

"... My good disciple."

Seeing Lin Yu approach her with the HSN Serum, Fu Hua was truly moved.

"As expected, I made the right choice in taking you as my disciple."

"So, apprentice, could you please put this thing away?"

"Trust me, Master! I'm incredibly strong!"
