Flame-Chaser's Judgment and Siegfried were practically guaranteed not to escape either.
Welt had an extremely high probability of appearing on the battlefield, and now far inferior in strength to Joyce in his prime, Durandal along with Theresa should be able to steadily take him down.
Anti-Entropy's reputation would basically stink from here on out, and those neutral countries that did not accept our and Anti-Entropy's protection wouldn't give Anti-Entropy a pleasant look from now on either.
K423 had already come into contact with Lin Yu and Raiden Mei, who might become important people to her.
And Lin Yu was still my man.
Even those two old subordinates of mine who couldn't grow taller, as long as they remained as naive as before, they would even make the Titans under their command fight with the forces under Cocolia's command.
After all, they were good people, and being good people made it impossible for them to watch Cocolia run amok like this, and so, Anti-Entropy would even start consuming itself from within.
Out of all these battle results, as long as one of them could be successfully secured, I would be very satisfied.
And now, it wasn't that I was being too greedy, but that the current situation was just—this wave, I had a high probability of swallowing the chips entirely.
I was dying of laughter.
If I wasn't the Archbishop of Schicksal myself, I would even suspect that Cocolia was an ace double agent sent by me.
"Um, Lord Otto..."
Looking at the Bishop whose mouth was curving upward wildly, Amber said cautiously at this moment.
"Your expression..."
"Ah, sorry, Amber, I lost my composure."
After reigning in the wild ecstasy within her heart, Otto gently shook his head.
I couldn't laugh.
I still couldn't laugh right now.
Let's continue monitoring Lin Yu.
If he continued his contact with K423 here without issue, then I could add a little pressure to them.
After all, the Bridge Effect also required danger, and only under dangerous circumstances...
Would K423 grow closer to Lin Yu.
After galloping for a while, Lin Yu felt that things before his eyes were getting increasingly blurry.
Having repeatedly activated the skill Mirror Mind—which required a massive expenditure of mental energy—and having used Cosmic Phantom several times as well, Lin Yu felt his consciousness growing hazier by the moment.
"Senior, you... are you alright?"
Feeling the motorcycle sway slightly, Kiana said softly to Lin Yu at this moment.
"Otherwise... should we find a place to rest?"
"Judging from the current situation, Cocolia's pursuers shouldn't have caught up, so we don't need to be so tense."
"Ah, wait a second."
System, you there?
Not there.
Oh, got it.
It seemed that from just now until now, no one had caught up...
Once he realized that he was completely safe, Lin Yu's tensed nerves began to unwind.
And the moment he relaxed, Lin Yu suddenly felt the world go completely black before his eyes.
Stamping on the brakes immediately, Lin Yu barely managed to keep the tragedy of a crash from happening to the two of them.
Yet the moment the bike stopped, Lin Yu, having exhausted his energy completely, tumbled off the motorcycle and collapsed onto the ground.
Before losing consciousness, he seemed to hear some sounds.
Only, the instant he passed out entirely, Lin Yu no longer cared about these minor details.
"Senior!"
Seeing Lin Yu fall to the ground, Kiana immediately and anxiously helped him up.
Then, after confirming that Lin Yu had merely fainted from excessive exhaustion, Kiana finally relaxed just a little.
"Sigh, I originally wanted to ask you why you knew I was at the TV tower, and why you knew about Honkai Beasts and all that."
"Only, right now..."
Looking at Lin Yu's peaceful sleeping face, Kiana helplessly hoisted Lin Yu up and walked over to a bench on the side.
"Forget it, I'll just let you have a good rest."
"After you wake up..."
"This young lady will definitely interrogate you thoroughly about all this!"
Sixth update, chapter forty-eight. It's all real
Actually, as early as when Lin Yu appeared at the TV tower earlier, Kiana had already figured out that Lin Yu coming to the Commercial Street to find her today was definitely not for some trivial matter like dragging her back to school.
A high school student running out in the middle of the night to find a junior who had skipped class today...
Well, she had properly submitted a leave request, but Lin Yu probably viewed Kiana as someone cutting class.
Anyway, there were far too many abnormal things about Lin Yu.
He knew a lot of things, and his background was actually quite mysterious.
Thinking about it carefully now, the fact that a girls' school like Chiba Academy allowed a male exchange student to enter normally was already a teensy bit strange in itself.
Yet right now, looking at Lin Yu's serene face, Kiana still chose to trust Lin Yu.
Lin Yu hadn't told her many things.
However, his care for Kiana was real.
Kiana could feel that when Lin Yu looked at Kiana, he genuinely cared about Kiana's safety.
And in Kiana's view, gazes didn't lie.
Of course, while the possibility of Lin Yu being a great scammer and Oscar-worthy actor wasn't very high, it couldn't be said to be entirely nonexistent.
Still, although Kiana was a roving expert, she wasn't paranoid to that extent.
Lin Yu's actions hadn't harmed her, his attitude towards her was good enough, and his gaze revealed concern—wasn't that enough?
If she were to doubt someone who was good to her just because there's this possibility that they weren't a good person...
That was something Kiana couldn't do.
"Sigh, looking closely, the senior is quite handsome too."
Poking Lin Yu's face gently with her finger, Kiana recalled what Lin Yu had said to her earlier in the day.
Because I've fallen in love with you, I started searching everywhere you might appear the moment I found out you didn't go to school—would you believe that if I said it?
During the day, because of Lin Yu's perfunctory tone and the teasing remarks that followed, Kiana had felt that Lin Yu was just joking.
But right now...
"Whoa, what the senior said back then couldn't possibly have been serious, right?"
Nodding slightly, Kiana rested Lin Yu's head on her lap and began to mutter to herself with a cheeky grin.
"Hmph hmph hmph, and no wonder."
"After all, this young lady is a youthful and vibrant beauty, so the senior having such thoughts is actually completely normal."
Changkong City. Raiden Mei's Apartment
At this moment inside the apartment, Raiden Mei, though feeling utterly exhausted, did not dare to fall asleep.
Yes, she didn't dare.
When she arrived home earlier, Raiden Mei had originally wanted to charge her phone and then get a good night's sleep.
Yet after plugging the charger into the 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 slight bad premonition.
And after a while, she even heard a loud noise coming from near her home.
Because of this sound, the unease within Mei's heart instantly intensified.
Mei, who was already feeling a bit sleepy, recalled what Lin Yu had told her today.
That group of people could frame your father, so naturally they wouldn't have any bottom line when making a move against you, and you might even be in mortal danger after they act.
That's right.
Dad had managed ME Company for so long, yet he was suddenly ousted—just as Lin Yu said, this matter wasn't simple.
She couldn't expect the enemy to still have a moral baseline and show her mercy.
Bolstered by this thought, Mei even picked up the spare bamboo sword from her home and hid it beneath her futon.
Then, after a little more time passed, Mei—feigning sleep—heard a flurry of footsteps drifting in from outside the door.
The number of people... was definitely more than one.
What Lin Yu said was true.
They really had come knocking!
Hmph, a bunch of filth.
Attempting to meddle with the power of God, the keepers of this filth really didn't know how to spell death.
It was this voice again!
Mei, hearing these two sentences at this moment, suddenly felt that the owner of this voice was far more terrifying than the bad guys outside.
Who... exactly are you?!
Asking the obvious... Never mind, you still aren't ready to use this power.
Then I'll give you a little more time to wake up to reality.
Wait!
Discovering that the owner of that voice didn't speak another word, Mei grew tense to the extreme.
Was I just too tired...
No, this voice was so real; if it were merely an auditory hallucination, it was impossible that I would have heard such words addressing my current situation.
It was too bizarre.
If Lin Yu were here...
Realizing that this thought had popped into her head, Mei immediately shook her head fiercely and cast the thought aside at once.
Lin Yu had worked so hard today to make her pull herself together—how could she start wanting his help the moment she encountered a hardship!
Right, Mei, you can do this.
If it's just a few bad guys, the bamboo sword is enough to teach them a lesson!
harboring such thoughts, Mei maintained her feigned slumber.
Yet at this moment under the covers, she had already gripped the bamboo sword tightly.
Upon hearing the sound of the lock being picked, Mei could hear the adversary's footsteps drawing closer and closer with even greater clarity.
And the moment the other party stepped into the room, Mei suddenly burst into action, hurling the blanket directly outward.
"Ha!"
Obscuring the enemy's vision with the blanket, Mei struck directly at the opponent's forehead, successfully knocking this foe unconscious.
