Chapter 332

—I really can't think of any way to break this deadlock.

Shenzhou, the Land of Nine Nether Netherworlds

Within the Nine Nether Netherworlds, the harmonious atmosphere that once characterized the joint forces of Shenzhou and Schicksal was now lost.

Lin Yu, who had just been teleported to this region using the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, felt a bit of pressure as he looked at the inexplicably tense situation between the two sides.

No, wait a few days ago when I came here, weren't the people from Schicksal and Shenzhou discussing how to divide Chiyou's body into weapons and equipment?

It's only been a few days, and you guys are suddenly acting like you're about to fight...

Why do such strange problems keep popping up in such trivial details?

Having already begun to have some worries, Lin Yu promptly activated his Cold-Faced Hunk demeanor to prevent others from knowing his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Durandal, Yuno, Mei, who had also been teleported to the vicinity of the Nine Nether Netherworld by Su, subtly distanced themselves from Su and immediately stood behind Lin Yu.

"Ah, Knight Lin Yu, you've come at the perfect time!"

At this moment, the people of Schicksal, seeing Lin Yu's sudden visit, spoke to Lin Yu with great anxiety.

"The people here in Shenzhou have inexplicably gone mad. They're saying things like 'Chiyou was originally theirs,' and they won't allow us, the Schicksal, to interfere."

"This..."

Looking at the person in charge from Shenzhou with great confusion, Lin Yu asked in bewilderment.

"You didn't have this attitude a few days ago."

"... We are simply following that person's advice."

Looking at the visitors before him, the person in charge on the Shenzhou side said with resentment.

"The Crimson Heron Immortal has given us an order that we must never hand over Chiyou's corpse to the people of Schicksal's Mandate."

"The immortal made it clear that if the corpse falls into the hands of Otto Apocalypse, he will definitely use it for evil purposes, so I must protect Chiyou's corpse."

Wait, what's going on?

The Crimson Heron Immortal?

Is Fu Hua being this flamboyant since returning to Shenzhou?

She herself has no intention of publicizing this.

[However, she's mostly normal, but occasionally when the Herrscher of Reason's personality takes over her body, the Herrscher of Reason isn't so gentle.]

[The members of the six major sects in Shenzhou have all been beaten up by the Herrscher of Reason. They've been offered meals, beheaded, and forced to serve as dogs... Oh, no, they haven't even been offered meals yet. The last three conditions have already been met.]

I'm speechless.

Don't tell me this was all orchestrated by Honkai in secret.

Who knows?

I think that's the situation right now.

Fu Hua was transformed into a Herrscher → She came to Shenzhou and decided to cultivate herself and suppress her Herrscher Persona → Herrscher Persona had the opportunity to awaken → After awakening, Herrscher Persona began to cultivate the anti- Honkai forces in Shenzhou.

At this point, even the actions of the Herrscher of Reason would be detrimental to the Honkai.

However, given the Herrscher of Reason's characteristic of being "unconsciously Honkai by the Honkai," once she starts leading the team, the martial arts practitioners of Shenzhou will most likely be led astray by her.

Moreover, if Shenzhou were to fight against Schicksal, the Honkai would be laughing all the way to the bank.

"Lin Yu."

At this moment, Durandal was also Schicksal S-class combatant, took a step forward as she looked at the two sides who were still arguing with each other.

"You're going to such lengths to come here, even teaming up with that squinty-eyed guy, you must have something urgent to do, right?"

"Why don't we just ignore all the worries and storm in, then let our colleagues at Schicksal Headquarters handle the aftermath for us?"

"... That makes sense."

Although Bianca's approach has always been to charge in headfirst, at this moment, her approach is flawless.

"Wait, pause!"

Halfway through the argument, the person in charge on the Shenzhou side suddenly took out a communicator, walked to the side, and began to answer calls from other staff members.

After waiting for two minutes, the person in Shenzhou of the area returned, and the dissatisfaction on his face had completely disappeared.

He didn't say anything more to the people in charge of Schicksal who were still passionately arguing, but instead walked up to Lin Yu gave him a warm smile.

"Mr. Lin Yu, the immortal told us that you are her last disciple."

"You now have direct command authority over all martial arts practitioners and warriors of the Shenzhou in this region. May I ask what your needs are?"

?

Wait, how did she know I was in this location so quickly?

[That's obvious, they now possess the power of Herrscher of Reason.]

[Isn't it simple for the Herrscher of Reason to attach their power to others, collect information through their consciousness, and then read that information using their authority?]

Well said, but this is the Herrscher of Reason.

The Herrscher of Reason, easily fooled by the Honkai 3rd and turned into a destructive husky.

[The current Gundam pilots are mostly Fu Hua. Given Fu Hua's understanding of the power of 'consciousness,' it's not surprising that she has utilized that power to this extent.]

That's true.

And...

After listening to the words of the person in charge of Shenzhou, Lin Yu looked at Yuno and Mei, whose expressions were strange.

"Yuno, Mei, the core of your relationship—"

"It's running like crazy."

At this moment, Yuno felt the power flowing continuously from within her body and said to her companions around her with great surprise.

"Although you may not believe it, now..."

"—It usually restrains the Honkai of my power, but now it is actively supporting me."

"I feel the same way."

Mei, gently activating her powers, easily flicked a finger at the corpse of Chiyou not far away, effortlessly damaging the surface of Chiyou's skin and a small part of his body.

"Under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't be able to wield my power so easily."

Just as I imagined.

Honkai Consciousness Kevin would hinder its plans, so it panicked.

I brought Yuno, Bianca, Mei to dismember Chiyou. He even had Fu Hua help me clear away worldly obstacles.

It seems Kevin is putting a lot of pressure on Honkai.

"We will dispose of Chiyou's body on the spot."

After saying this, Lin Yu looked at the person in charge of Shenzhou, whose eyes had flashed with a hint of gloom, and added to him.

"Of course, this is because it was a sudden decision made by our Schicksal, and we certainly won't let our allies suffer losses."

"Take a count of how many weapons Chiyou's body can produce. We will hand over a portion of the weapons in our armory to you—hey buddy, don't rush."

Seeing that the person in charge of the Schicksal was getting anxious, Lin Yu immediately continued.

"Although Bishop Otto has disappeared, based on his tendencies over the past five hundred years, he certainly hoped to maintain friendly relations with Shenzhou."

"Now that we, the Schicksal, have just received a new batch of Soul Steel, we will definitely have more high-end weapons than before. There's no need to worry that my actions will cause a significant loss to the Schicksal's strength."

After saying these words, Lin Yu gave Su a cold glance.

"Mr. Su, in order to stop the Stigmata Plan, let's put aside our grudges for now."

"I hope that Mr. Su is truly working hard for humanity, just as you say."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Su simply chuckled and shook her head, saying nothing more.

However, the two had already communicated through their mental powers in secret.

I'll handle Chiyou's side. You go check on Master Fu Hua's situation.

"I understand, Mr. Lin Yu. Please be careful. If Kevin comes..."

I hope you won't clash with him, after all, given your current strength...

I understand, I understand, I know I can't beat him.

I'm really a scaredy-cat, so don't worry about me doing anything reckless.

Hopefully so.

After completing the communication in secret, Su used the Thousand Worlds Annihilation to leave before everyone's eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu, who was leading Yuno, Mei, Durandal toward Chiyou's corpse, also drew the Seven Thunders of Retribution, which was still in katana mode, from his waist.

"Alright, let's dismantle Chiyou's body as quickly as possible."

"After demolishing it, run away at lightning speed. Wait, what if a man with short white hair shows up...?"

"—Do not linger in battle; retreat at lightning speed immediately!"

.

Meanwhile, at the Tai Xu Mountain in Shenzhou.

At this moment, Fu Hua, who was sitting on Tai Xu Mountain, felt that the Herrscher energy in her body had increased a bit more, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air with great helplessness.

A few days ago, Fu Hua realized that something was wrong with her after accidentally injuring Lin Yu. She came to the area at the Tai Xu Mountain alone and began to try to suppress the Herrscher Persona within her.

However, after she arrived at this place, she discovered that the Honkai Energy she was constantly releasing had already endangered the innocent villagers around her.

In order to prevent the villagers from becoming Meele because of her, she spent even more effort to suppress the constantly overflowing Honkai Energy.

During this period, some people from Shenzhou who had noticed the movements at Tai Xu Mountain came to visit.

At that time, Fu Hua was unable to suppress the Herrscher Persona, which led to the Herrscher Persona temporarily seizing control of her body.

After the Herrscher Persona seized control of the body, Fu Hua's Herrscher Persona decisively beat up all those people.

After all, the visitor at that time was actually the current leader of the Tai Xu Sword Sect.

The beaten-up leader of the Tai Xu Sword Sect, upon discovering that the woman before him bore a slight resemblance to the legendary Crimson Heron Immortal, immediately began shouting, "The immortal has returned to protect the Shenzhou!" and descended the mountain laughing heartily despite his injuries.

This, ironically, has led to Fu Hua now having some control over Shenzhou.

However, Fu Hua found the other person's words incredibly ironic regarding her current state.

To prevent the Herrscher of Reason from harming others, Fu Hua has no choice but to remain here.

She... could not respond to the expectations others had of her.

[I'm telling you, Herrscher —no matter how much we don't get along, you definitely want to see Lin Yu right now, right?]

At that moment, after hearing the voice in her heart, Fu Hua did not choose to talk to it, but quietly waited for it to say what it would say next.

"My good disciple has come to Shenzhou, what's wrong with us going to see him? Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on you this time and won't let you hurt my good disciple."

... Don't you realize that you are Herrscher?

[You're the Herrscher! Your whole family are Herrscher!]

[I am Fusion Warrior from the Previous Era, Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Moth, the renowned Crimson Heron Immortal!]

[And you, a dark, bespectacled woman with power who chooses to hide, are more like Herrscher... no, not just like, you absolutely are Herrscher!]

That's enough.

I don't have time to play your nonsense.

If you still want to use my body to hurt Lin Yu like last time, then I will fight to the death rather than let you succeed!

[Hey, hey, hey, don't do this! This is my body! Mine!]

At this moment, Su, who had teleported himself to Fu Hua's side, heard Fu Hua's inner thoughts through his mental power, and only felt...

Ah, this Herrscher is really lively.

"Su, you're here."
