Flame-Chaser's Judgment and Siegfried are pretty much unavoidable.
Welt Yang is highly likely to appear on the battlefield. Now that his strength is far from what it was during Joyce's peak, Durandal and Theresa should be able to take him down steadily.
Anti-Entropy's reputation is basically ruined from now on, and those neutral countries that don't accept protection from us or Anti-Entropy won't be giving Anti-Entropy any more favorable treatment.
K423 has already come into contact with Lin Yu and Raiden Mei, who may become important people to her.
And Lin Yu is still my person.
Even my two old subordinates, who can't seem to grow any taller, if they're still as naive as before, they might even let their Titans clash with Cocolia's forces.
After all, they are good people. Good people can't just stand by and watch Cocolia commit evil deeds like this. This way, Anti-Entropy will even start infighting amongst themselves.
If even one of these outcomes is successful, I'll be satisfied.
And now, it's not that I'm being too greedy, but the current situation is – this time, I have a high probability of taking all the chips.
This is hilarious.
If I weren't the Archbishop of Schicksal myself, I'd even suspect Cocolia was an ace mole I sent in.
"Um, Lord Otto..."
Seeing the Archbishop's mouth curve into a manic grin, Amber said cautiously.
"Your expression..."
"Ha, my apologies, Amber. I lost my composure."
Suppressing his inner elation, Otto gently shook his head.
Can't laugh.
Not yet.
Continue monitoring Lin Yu.
If his continued contact with K423 goes smoothly, I can add some pressure.
After all, the Bridge Effect requires danger. Only in dangerous situations...
will K423 grow closer to Lin Yu.
After speeding for a while, Lin Yu felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry.
Having repeatedly used Mirror Mind, a skill that consumes a lot of energy, and having also used Cosmic Phantom several times, Lin Yu felt his consciousness growing hazier.
"Senpai, are... are you okay?"
Kiana, feeling the motorcycle swaying a bit, asked Lin Yu softly.
"Why don't we... find a place to rest?"
"From what I can tell, Cocolia's pursuers haven't caught up yet, so we don't need to be so tense."
"Ah, wait a moment."
System, you there?
[Not here.]
Oh, I see.
Looks like no one has caught up since just now...
The moment he realized he was completely safe, Lin Yu's taut nerves began to relax.
And the instant he relaxed, Lin Yu suddenly felt his vision go black.
Lin Yu, who immediately slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoided a tragic car accident for the two of them.
But the moment the bike stopped, Lin Yu, completely drained of energy, fell off the bike and fainted on the ground.
And before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have heard some sounds.
But in the final moments before losing consciousness, Lin Yu couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.
"Senpai!"
Seeing Lin Yu fall to the ground, Kiana immediately and worriedly helped him up.
Then, after confirming that Lin Yu had merely fainted from exhaustion, Kiana finally relaxed a little.
"Sigh, I originally wanted to ask you why you knew I was at the TV station building, and why you knew about the Honkai Beasts."
"But now..."
Looking at Lin Yu's peaceful, tired expression, Kiana picked him up helplessly and walked to a nearby bench.
"Never mind, you should get some proper rest."
"When you wake up..."
"This young lady will definitely ask you about these things clearly!"
[Sixth Update] Chapter 48: It's All True
In truth, Kiana had suspected as much the moment Lin Yu appeared at the television station. She knew that if he was looking for her in the commercial district today, it wouldn't be for something as trivial as dragging her back to school.
A high school student, coming out in the middle of the night to find his underclassman who skipped class today...
Alright, she had properly requested leave, but in Lin Yu's eyes, Kiana had probably still skipped.
In any case, there were too many unusual things about Lin Yu.
He knew a lot of things, and his background was actually quite mysterious.
Thinking about it now, it was a bit strange that Chiba Academy, an all-girls school, would allow a male exchange student to enroll normally.
But now, looking at Lin Yu's peaceful face, Kiana still chose to believe him.
Lin Yu had many things he hadn't told her.
But his concern for Kiana was genuine.
Kiana could feel that when Lin Yu looked at her, he truly cared about her safety.
And in Kiana's opinion, eyes never lied.
Of course, the possibility of Lin Yu being a master con artist and actor, while not high, couldn't be completely ruled out.
However, Kiana, despite being a seasoned wanderer, wasn't suspicious to that extent.
Lin Yu's actions hadn't harmed her, his attitude towards her was good enough, and his eyes conveyed concern. Wasn't that enough?
To doubt someone who was good to her just because 'there was a possibility' they were a bad person...
Kiana couldn't bring herself to do that.
"Sigh, looking closely, senpai is quite handsome too."
After gently poking Lin Yu's face with her finger, Kiana remembered what Lin Yu had told her earlier that day.
["Because I fell in love with you, I started looking for you everywhere you might be after I found out you weren't at school—do you believe me if I say that?"]
Earlier, Kiana had thought Lin Yu was just joking because of his perfunctory tone and the teasing words that followed.
But now...
"Wow, could what senpai said earlier have been serious?"
Nodding slightly, Kiana let Lin Yu rest his head on her lap and began to mutter to herself with a giggle.
"Hehehe, it's no wonder."
"After all, I'm a beautiful young lady, so it's only natural for senpai to have such thoughts."
Changkong City. Raiden Mei's Apartment
Raiden Mei, currently in her apartment, felt extremely exhausted but dared not fall asleep.
Yes, she dared not.
When Raiden Mei had arrived home earlier, she had intended to charge her phone and then get a good night's sleep.
However, after plugging the charger into her phone, she discovered that her phone seemed to be broken.
Forget making calls; she couldn't even turn it on now.
Under these circumstances, Mei already had a bad feeling.
And after some time, she heard a loud noise coming from near her apartment.
This noise immediately intensified Mei's unease.
Mei, who was already feeling sleepy, recalled what Lin Yu had told her today.
["Those people could betray your father, so they naturally wouldn't have any bottom line when targeting you. In fact, you might even be in mortal danger after they make their move."]
That's right.
Her father had been in charge of ME Company for so long, and to be suddenly ousted, it was indeed as Lin Yu had said – this matter was not simple.
She couldn't expect her enemies to have any sense of decency or show her mercy.
Fueled by this thought, Mei even picked up a spare bamboo sword from her home and hid it under her covers.
Then, after some more time passed, Mei, pretending to be asleep, heard footsteps approaching outside her door.
The number of people... was definitely more than one.
Lin Yu was telling the truth.
They had really come looking for her!
["Hmph, a bunch of vermin."]
["To dare covet the Power of God, the masters of these vermin are truly courting death."]
It's that voice again!
Hearing these words, Mei suddenly felt that the owner of this voice was far more terrifying than the bad guys outside.
"Who... who are you?!"
[You know the answer already... Never mind, you're still not ready to use this power.]
[Then I'll give you a little more time to face reality.]
Wait!
Raiden Mei, who had discovered the source of the voice but heard nothing more, was extremely tense.
Am I just tired...?
No, this voice was so real. If it were just auditory hallucination, I wouldn't be able to hear words that so accurately described the current situation.
This is too strange.
If only Lin Yu were here...
Upon realizing this thought had surfaced, Mei immediately shook her head, discarding the idea.
Lin Yu worked so hard today to cheer me up. How can I start wanting his help the moment I encounter trouble!
That's right, Mei, you can do it.
It's just a few bad guys. A bamboo sword is enough to teach them a lesson!
With this thought, Mei continued to pretend to be asleep.
But under the covers, she had already gripped her bamboo sword tightly.
Upon hearing the sound of a lock being picked, Mei could more clearly hear the footsteps getting closer.
The moment the intruders entered the room, Mei suddenly sprang up, throwing the blanket directly at them.
"Hah!"
Her vision obscured by the blanket, Mei landed a direct blow to the enemy's forehead, successfully knocking him out.
