"After the initial chaos, I can suppress this despicable Herrscher Persona whenever I want— Lin Yu, stay away from me!"

At this moment, looking at the young man in front of her, Fu Hua suddenly roared at Lin Yu.

"If you truly acknowledge me as your master, then unleash your full power and defeat me decisively!"

"Su, Durandal, and you too!"

"I don't know how much longer I can stay true to myself, but I'm definitely not right now!"

"I'm standing here to fight against the Honkai, don't make me..."

"Don't let me continue making the same mistakes!"

"Master, please calm down."

At this moment, Lin Yu really couldn't understand why he kept feeling that something was wrong.

But a voice inside him kept telling him something.

This voice made Lin Yu determined to trust Fu Hua.

It was precisely because of this voice that Lin Yu, a coward, chose to continue approaching the other party in this unguarded manner, even though he was at risk of being attacked or even having his body pierced at any moment.

"Calm down? I am very calm."

At this moment, Fu Hua's eyes suddenly turned crimson again, and she read the three people's thoughts without hesitation.

First, there's Su—oh, she can't see what Su, this mental Fusion Warrior, is thinking.

However, from the very beginning, Su had been subtly wary of her, something she could still sense.

Damn it, Su was actually bewitched by the Herrscher Persona.

Moreover, he had previously beaten my good apprentice.

Sue, you are now my enemy!

As for Durandal, although Otto trained her to be resistant to mental attacks, this resistance was not enough to completely resist this mind-reading ability.

Therefore, after expending a little effort, Fu Hua was able to see Durandal's inner thoughts.

Fu Hua is a respectable comrade-in-arms—hey, the little girl may not say it, but she's quite good at expressing herself.

But that's precisely why I can't let her keep making the same mistakes—I praised you for nothing, why do you still think there's something wrong with me!

Damn it, this little girl is my enemy too!

As for my good disciple, let me see...

Trust in Master!

Master is innocent!

It must be Honkai 3rd causing this!

In short, just trust your master!

Looking at Lin Yu's thoughts, Fu Hua, who had been somewhat murderous, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Hehehe, my good apprentice said he trusted me before, and I did believe him.

But I never expected him to believe me to this extent—Master really did not spoil you for nothing!

No, no, something's not right here.

Although Fu Hua's eyes were still bloodshot, she sensed something unusual that she shouldn't have noticed.

Lin Yu's thoughts were less about genuinely believing in Fu Hua and more about being half-suggested by someone using mental abilities, leading him to believe in me regardless of everything.

Lin Yu isn't a fool. Faced with such a crucial decision, he wouldn't blindly trust me; he should analyze the pros and cons before making a choice.

I understand now, I finally understand.

You Herrscher, are you actually using your Herrscher powers to interfere with Lin Yu's thinking?!

Having already sensed something was wrong, Fu Hua instinctively wanted to push Lin Yu away as he slowly approached her.

But at that very moment, she pushed Lin Yu's hand away, but suddenly, without realizing it, she turned her palm into a fist and struck Lin Yu with extreme ferocity.

"Oh no—"

"Lin Yu, step back immediately!"

Faced with the gasps of surprise from the two people behind him, Lin Yu made his choice.

Given his reaction speed, he could have used the Royal Guard at that moment to block the opponent's attack.

However, at this moment, Lin Yu did not choose to avoid it, but instead did the exact opposite.

The instant Fu Hua punched him, Lin Yu calculated the opponent's punching path, and after observing the energy fluctuations on the fist and the power generation technique of Fu Hua's punch through precise manipulation, he made a judgment.

Well, a hasty punch won't kill me.

Moreover, now that she has suddenly thrown a punch, she is 100% in a panic, and there is a high probability that she can read my mind. So I don't need to keep mourning those things from before.

If you think about it calmly, what she needs is a certain amount of stimulation, so...

In the next instant, to everyone's disbelief, Fu Hua's punch easily pierced through Lin Yu's body.

Moreover, Durandal and Su, who had already rushed out, witnessed Lin Yu doing something foolish that he shouldn't have done.

Lin Yu's God-Slaying Armor [Zero Knight. Moon Shadow] was a defensively enhanced armor specially designed for him by Otto because he was worried that Lin Yu would die outside.

However, faced with this sudden attack, Lin Yu not only did not activate the Honkai Energy Shield and Honkai Energy Armor, but also directly removed the armor and took Fu Hua's punch with his bare body.

"I, I, I—no, it shouldn't be like this!"

After immediately pulling her hand out of Lin Yu's body, Fu Hua looked at Lin Yu in disbelief, completely unexpected that things would turn out this way.

Lin Yu has become powerful enough to fight Herrscher with sufficient equipment; this is already considered Fu Hua's underlying understanding.

That's why Fu Hua never expected that a punch she suddenly threw would seriously injure her disciple who trusted her.

"I'm sorry, Master..."

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Lin Yu collapsed to the ground and, lying there, spoke weakly to Fu Hua.

"I still think you should take your medicine on time, so—don't blame me for going too far."

Looking at the 'HSN Serum' stuck in her right arm, Fu Hua, who didn't want to face any of this, suddenly stomped heavily on the ground and left before everyone's eyes.

"Lin Yu!"

Seeing Lin Yu lying in a pool of blood, Durandal immediately activated the Authority of Creation of the Black Abyss White Flower, healing Lin Yu's injuries.

Then, looking at Lin Yu in front of her, she suddenly roared at Lin Yu with extreme anger.

"Why did you deactivate your armor! If her attack had been any harder—"

"Because you're here, Bianca."

After getting up from the ground, Lin Yu looked at Fu Hua as she walked away and said to Durandal with utter helplessness.

"I wanted to take a gamble, but unfortunately, it seems that it only made my master even less willing to face me."

"Let's rescue everyone first, and then..."

"Now that Bishop Otto has temporarily disappeared, I think we're going to be quite busy."

"Mr. Lin Yu, Ms. Bianca."

After locking onto Fu Hua's coordinates using the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, Su said helplessly to the two of them.

"Although Mr. Lin Yu and I had some misunderstandings before, I think we can now consider ourselves to be in the same boat."

"Instead of still doubting each other because of old grudges, I think, Mr. Lin Yu, we should put aside our past grievances and start cooperating sincerely."

"Heh, although I don't intend to fight amongst myself, do you think I'll trust you?"

At this moment, Lin Yu looked at Su coldly and then said to Su.

"If you're prepared to fight the Honkai, I won't interfere with your actions. But if you're up to something big—I won't let you do anything reckless."

In that instant, Lin Yu felt his mind connect with a spiritual force.

[Mr. Lin Yu, Mr. Otto has most likely left the Schicksal Headquarters now. Should we continue to maintain this 'hostile' attitude?]

Nature.

After all, it's Otto, Mr. Su. I think it's better not to think there are too many backup plans he left behind.

I have a general understanding.

Besides, you can find out where Master is, right?

She went towards Tai Xu Mountain, but you gave her a bit too much of a shock.

I think we should let Hua calm down for a while.

[Your improved HSN serum has helped her suppress the Herrscher energy within her. Given time, with her unwavering will...]

She will come back to us sooner or later.

Chapter 221. With a wise and capable minister like Lord Lin Yu, Lord Otto can rest assured.

[I realized something was wrong yesterday and added a paragraph. Subscribers in the first ten minutes can refresh to see the new content.]

About an hour later, at the Schicksal Headquarters

Inside the conference room at the Schicksal Headquarters, Lin Yu felt immense pressure.

The pressure he feels now certainly doesn't come from Fu Hua, who is no longer here.

After all, although Fu Hua has obtained the Herrscher Core, her situation is much better than the incredibly unfortunate state she was in in the original story.

In the original work, the Herrscher of Reason engaged in battle in order to kill Otto and the Schicksal combat forces.

At that time, guided by the Honkai Consciousness, the Herrscher of Reason, seeing the tragic scene, realized that she had done something wrong.

However, this is of no use in the current situation.

After Otto appeared, the Honkai Consciousness, with a little guidance, caused the Herrscher of Reason who mistook him for Fu Hua to unleash an incredibly terrifying killing intent on the spot.

The Herrscher of Reason at that time even uttered extremely extreme words such as, "If I couldn't kill you even after destroying half of Schicksal, then I'll destroy the entire Schicksal."

Considering her mental state at the time, the probability that she would keep her word is quite high.

Now, Fu Hua hasn't been shot in the head by Otto, and her consciousness is still inside her body.

Furthermore, Lin Yu had repaired her body in advance, allowing her to inject the God-Slaying Spear that Lin Yu had concocted while she was in excellent condition. Under these circumstances, even if she couldn't immediately suppress the Herrscher of Reason, she should be able to gradually consolidate her advantage based on these conditions.

The real reason Lin Yu is feeling a lot of pressure right now is mainly because...

Bianca, who was sitting next to Rita, glared at Lin Yu while whispering something in Rita's ear.

Although Lin Yu couldn't hear her words, judging from Rita's frequent nods with a smile, what Bianca was saying was probably not a good thing.

Don't panic, these are not major problems.

I was just feeling a little stressed at first.

But now that you've suddenly popped up, I'm really panicking!

Don't panic, she definitely won't scold you. After all, you're the poor little rascal she adopted.

... What you're saying is making me even more panicked.

If Rita just wanted to scold me, the problem would be easy to solve.

If she doesn't intend to yell at me, isn't the problem obviously more serious?

The path you chose.

[Deliberately disarming himself and using a self-inflicted injury as a ploy to inflict massive mental damage on Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Reason —that was a pretty good plan.]

But the problem is, your claim of psychological damage is clearly a generalization.

[Su, knowing your original intentions, is alright; at most, she just thinks you've taken a bit too much of a risk.]

[Bianca had absolutely no idea what you were really like, was terrified when she saw this.]

That seems to make some sense—but she has the Black Abyss White Flower.
