Madam Schariac, You Wouldn't Want to Be Unable to See Your Daughter and Husband, Would You?

On his way to the headmaster's office, Lin Yu finally figured out his identity using the Schicksal Database within this World Bubble.

Lin Yu is the adopted son of Cecilia, the patriarch of the Sania clan.

In this World Bubble, Siegfried burned his life force and swung his sword to stop Sirin's core from going berserk.

Because Cecilia was unable to reach Siegfried in time within this World Bubble, she was not affected by the fission bomb launched by Otto.

After sensing that something was wrong with Bishop Otto, the disheartened Theresa and Cecilia chose to leave the Schicksal Headquarters and return their S-rank Valkyrie titles, and went to the Far East to establish St. Freya Academy.

As for why Lin Yu didn't have any contact with Rita this time, but was adopted by Cecilia, the reason is quite simple.

The Lin family's trip this time wasn't to Europe but to the Far East. So Cecilia, who happened to be out fighting Honkai Beast, rescued the only child who survived the Honkai and adopted him.

No, if we remove the beginning and end and only look at the basic settings, this setting is too familiar.

So, what are you trying to say?

It's not that I want to say anything, it's that you didn't say anything at all.

Even this system has things it fears.

[At this point, I said something unnecessary...]

Are these unnecessary words?

The world will likely be utterly destroyed because of a few words from this system and your inappropriate actions.

[So, host, you absolutely mustn't do anything inappropriate to Cecilia!]

[The World Bubble setting doesn't count!]

She's not a widow yet, so you don't need to worry about her living like a widow!

Chapter 247. Mrs. Sania, you don't want to never see your daughter and husband again, do you?

To be honest, Lin Yu really felt... about the fear that the system was conveying in its words.

—It's actually quite novel.

Although he didn't actually have any romantic feelings for Cecilia, he still asked the system a question out of curiosity.

So, why were you so scared?

There are some things that absolutely must not be done.

Previously, there were several senior members in this system's chat group. When this system was chatting and joking with other senior members, those senior members suddenly went silent.

Wow, can systems really malfunction?

That's obvious!

In short, based on our subsequent deductions from the chat logs, it seems that the hosts of those predecessors all made moves against people they shouldn't have.

Cecilia Sania is clearly the kind of person who shouldn't be touched.

[This system is still a baby! It absolutely cannot die until it has seen enough fun!]

... Why do I feel like you're more afraid of dying than I am?

[Nonsense, you were matched with this system precisely because you're afraid of death.]

How should I put it? It feels like I've gotten to know you all over again.

But none of that matters, anyway, I don't have any particular thoughts about that, right now...

All I want to do is go out and smash Otto's head in!

Although the moment this thought arose, Lin Yu realized that his mindset was somewhat unbalanced.

However, he did not think there was anything wrong with the idea.

He wanted to be an actor in the past because he couldn't handle Otto.

Now, he possesses the power of the three: the Core of Constraint, the Blank Key, and the Key of Erosion.

When facing Otto, Lin Yu could use the Key of Erosion to connect with the Blank Key, allowing himself to become Herrscher with both the [Binding] and [Erosion] Herrscher Authority for a short period of time.

In this situation, Lin Yu certainly wouldn't need to pretend to ' Otto 'Otto as he had in the past.

Moreover, once the Honkai begins to act desperately, Otto will inevitably follow suit.

His plan needs time to complete, Honkai won't give him that time. Who knows what he might do?

He wanted to die, but his death had to follow the rules he set for himself.

Once Otto realizes his plan is doomed, it's not surprising that he'll do anything crazy.

Perhaps for some people with a warrior's pride, waiting for Otto to become False God and fight him head-on is more in line with their style.

But Lin Yu didn't have that thing.

While Otto still only has this level of power, the best thing he should do now is to hurry up and kill this old bastard.

Moreover, looking back now, in the original work, after the Herrscher of Reason destroyed the Schicksal Headquarters, it destroyed Otto's hundreds of Soul Steel bodies.

However, judging from the subsequent plot, Otto has hidden many more Soul Steel Bodies.

He hasn't flipped the table yet because he still feels there's hope.

Once he felt there was no hope of reviving Kallen...

In order to save Kallen, Otto even chose to disregard Kallen's own will.

Five hundred years ago, even though he knew that Kallen was unwilling to collude with the Schicksal leadership and hoped to die as the 'Shield of the People,' Otto still chose to release the Honkai Beast under the influence of his sister.

Some might think, 'Oh, Otto forced him to do it, he had no other choice.'

But in reality, Otto probably didn't have many options.

However, for Otto, who wanted to save Kallen, publicly releasing the Honkai Beast was definitely the option with the lowest success rate.

The high-ranking officials of Schicksal are inhumane, mainly in the way they exploit the people's wealth and use the people's lives for human experimentation.

Releasing the Honkai Beast is tantamount to directly massacring civilians, which is even worse than what the Schicksal leadership has done in the past.

Kallen, who chose to protect the people, would definitely choose to save people again if she saw Honkai Beast killing people, even after she was rescued.

Kallen may not be particularly intelligent, but after the Schicksal expedition ended in failure, and after being warned by Fu Hua, Kallen would only choose this seemingly foolish path.

Knowing this, Otto was already doomed to failure the moment he released the Honkai Beast.

Otto chose the most insane tactic to save Kallen back then, but what if, five hundred years later, he discovers that Kallen can't be saved...?

In the end, it might just be a fission bomb that directly bombs major cities around the world, randomly selecting a few unlucky people to drag along and be buried with them.

As for following the original plan, helping Otto complete his plan, and finally letting him quietly become False God, resurrect Kallen, and then die...

Lin Yu must be out of his mind to choose this path.

In the original story, Changguang helped Otto devise a plan to blow up everyone else in the world in order to go back to the past.

Otto had told Changguang that he had a 50% chance of completing another plan with fewer casualties.

Looking at it this way, Otto has a 50% chance of getting the main characters to help him commit suicide, which seems like a pretty high probability.

In reality, whether Otto uses Plan A or Plan B, as long as the plan succeeds, there are only two possibilities: he either breaks even or makes a huge profit.

Before transforming into False God, Otto weakened part of the protagonist group's fighting power with Constraint Barrier. Only after successfully transforming into False God did he complete his plan.

Kiana and Bianca were able to defeat Otto with Otto's help, which in a sense was a miracle resulting from everyone's efforts.

If the two of them fail, Otto will be forced to execute Plan A, which means everyone except Kolosten will be blown up.

The essence of this plan is the same as Otto's previous plans: to come up with a plan, drag others into it, and make them clean up the mess he created.

As a person with normal values, Lin Yu felt that he would never agree to go along with Otto's madness and massacres, or to make him a False God to increase his own stress and mortality rate.

So now, even if he has enough power, he still needs 'hands and feet' to assist him in fighting and help him kill this beast that has always been a dog for the Honkai.

With this in mind, Lin Yu and Ling arrived at the principal's office in this World Bubble academy.

And as expected, after opening the door, he saw...

Cecilia Sania was looking at Lin Yu and Ling, who had appeared in front of her, with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Lin Yu... Is it alright to address you like this?"

Looking at her nominally adopted son, Cecilia could only feel...

Happiness came too suddenly.

After her battle with Sirin, Cecilia used almost all of her Holy Blood to suppress Honkai Energy in order to help Siegfried seal Sirin's rampaging Herrscher of the Void Core.

As a price, Cecilia could only use her remaining strength to protect her dying husband in the final moments of her life, and was unable to muster enough power to neutralize the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb launched by Otto Apocalypse.

She should have died then.

However, for some unknown reason, Cecilia's soul did not completely perish after her death, but instead attached itself to the Black Abyss White Flower.

Even if Cecilia had encountered such a miracle, she, already dead, would have only gradually weakened due to the power of her soul, eventually disappearing completely from the mortal world.

However, just as Cecilia felt her soul power was nearing its end, she suddenly sensed someone familiar grasping the Black Abyss White Flower.

This person wasn't Otto, whom she hated, but someone who made her feel very warm and close.

At that time, Cecilia unknowingly attached herself to the other party.

If things continue like this, she might only be able to remain as a wisp of a ghost, clinging to that child.

But recently, Cecilia suddenly felt that her power had returned somewhat.

However, as a price, she was forced to transfer to another person.

Completely unaware of what was happening, Cecilia gradually regained consciousness and suddenly found herself with a physical body in this World Bubble.

Although she still hadn't found a way to leave this place, for Cecilia, who was already dead, being able to have a physical body again and take action was already something that made her very happy.

"Thank you for giving me the strength to take action again."

Looking at the woman who stood up and bowed to him, Lin Yu, who had entered a state of Mirror Mind, used his Precision Operation skills to observe the intensity of Cecilia's energy fluctuations... which were a bit ridiculously strong.

This isn't so much that Cecilia herself has become incredibly powerful, but rather that she's only been resurrected, probably less than a few hours ago, yet she already possesses this level of energy...

So could you explain what exactly happened?

Is the soul fragment I extracted truly the original entity of this world?

[Oh, do I need to explain?]

[The notes and explanations in this system at the time were all true. Due to special circumstances, this item had mutated. Then, because it formed a bond with several important people in its life, its soul was attracted to you, causing the item to mutate.]

But if I remember correctly, in the story, when Durandal became a Celestial, Cecilia's soul seemed to appear...

So the Cecilia spirit within her is right before you now.

So Cecilia was eventually won over by me, huh?

I think I understand.

"No need for thanks. I also relied on Mrs. Sania's help to get through many difficulties."

After casually finding a chair to sit down, Lin Yu spoke indifferently to Cecilia.

"Everyone is just getting what they need; there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"Instead of exchanging pleasantries now, I think we should think about how to get out of this awful place."

"After all—Mrs Sania, you don't want to never see your daughter and husband again, do you?"

Although Cecilia didn't sense any malice in Lin Yu's words, well...

—Why does that sound so strange to me?

However, compared to this indifferent feeling, Cecilia was clearly more concerned about the other keywords Lin Yu mentioned.

"Husband and daughter—you mean, Siegfried and Kiana, are you alright now?"

"Ah, about this..."

"I don't know Mr. Siegfried's current situation, but his Flame-Chaser's Judgment has been stolen, so he is most likely in danger."

"The Kiana you mentioned was shot down from the plane by an attack sent by Schicksal Headquarters when Mr. Siegfried was taking her away from Schicksal because of some things back then."
