Good disciple, call me Master first.

"Although she didn't die and her body was even fine, she forgot her past memories and is now Bianca. Let's just say she's grown up well."

"By the way, Sirin, whom you hoped to give maternal love back then, was resurrected by Otto in a new body after she died, and Mr. Siegfried adopted her as his daughter."

"The new body Otto prepared for her soul was made from the DNA of Kiana and Sirin themselves, and it has Kiana's appearance. The name Kiana Kaslana is what she is using now."

Seeing that Cecilia was thrown into confusion after hearing the news, Lin Yu didn't interrupt and instead gave Cecilia time to process the information.

The resurrection itself was already chaotic enough, but now, hearing that her husband might be in trouble, her daughter was already in trouble, and that she even had another daughter, Cecilia definitely needs time to sort out her emotions.

"Hey, I said..."

Looking at Lin Yu calmly talking to Cecilia, Ling said with some dissatisfaction.

"How can you and her be so calm—how could you have been so cruel to me back then?"

"Isn't that obvious—didn't you attack me first?"

Looking at Ling's disgruntled face, Lin Yu said irritably.

"If you hadn't laid a hand on me and had just said, 'Hey bro, can you get me a body?' why would I risk getting killed and fight you?"

"... So you have a way???"

Listening to Lin Yu's complaining, Ling felt that something was wrong.

"My soul is not something any body can withstand."

"Find a time to kill Otto, give you his Soul Steel Body to use, and you can adjust it yourself."

"Now, Otto's Soul Steel Body has been destroyed by my... Master in hundreds of cases. After it was transformed, we used it all as weapons and distributed it to our allies."

"Even if you don't get a physical body in the World Bubble this time, as long as you ask, finding you a body is not something that can be done in a minute."

???

Listening to Lin Yu's speech, Ling always thought—what, is it really that simple?

Doesn't that mean I got beaten up twice for nothing, and then spent two months hanging in the Stigmata Space for nothing?

Chapter 248. My dear disciple, please call me Master first.

Ten days after the Seventh Honkai Eruption. Shenzhou.

Near Tai Xu Mountain in Shenzhou, a young girl wearing a cloak carefully surveyed her surroundings before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Wendy, who had become Herrscher by the lure of Honkai about ten days ago, can still feel that her Herrscher Core is operating.

However, after being knocked down and injected by Lin Yu, Wendy naturally wouldn't be controlled by the Herrscher Persona after waking up.

After Wendy regained consciousness as Valkyrie, she decisively left the Schicksal Headquarters.

Even after all that has happened, Wendy still believes that most of Schicksal's predecessors were fighting for the future of humanity.

But no matter how hard everyone tries, if the Bishop of Schicksal chooses to defect to the enemy, all our efforts will only be led astray by that scoundrel Otto!

Realizing this, and sensing that the Honkai God was still supporting Wendy, Wendy decisively used her remaining power to escape from the Schicksal Headquarters.

To be honest, she had to admit that she did benefit from the Honkai in this operation.

The injection Lin Yu gave her back then had a powerful aftereffect. If it weren't for Honkai Honkai's support of her core, Wendy wouldn't have been able to escape the Schicksal Headquarters, let alone even get out of bed.

As for her legs, they had already been healed the moment she became the Herrscher of Wind.

The reason her legs were unable to move was because Desire Gem to remain in an unstable form within her body, which led to this result.

Now that the Desire Gem has reformed within her body, her legs have naturally returned to their former agility.

Now, Wendy, who no longer trusts Otto, makes a very decisive choice in a moment of desperation.

If Schicksal is not working, then let's see how things go in other organizations.

As for why Wendy didn't choose to go to Anti-Entropy —isn't that obvious? Cocolia, that organization where even a pushover can rise to the top?

With no other choice, Wendy had to come to Shenzhou, which seemed to be more powerful recently.

Although Shenzhou is not as strong as Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, or even the recently revealed World Serpent in terms of overall strength, Shenzhou currently has one advantage.

According to information Wendy gathered before leaving, Fu Hua, the Valkyrie was originally from the Far East Branch, attacked Schicksal Headquarters immediately after becoming Herrscher.

If it were someone else who didn't know Otto's true identity, they would probably just think, "This woman must have been controlled by the Honkai."

However, for Wendy, who knew Otto's true intentions, Fu Hua's actions in harming her Schicksal colleagues could not be described as brilliant, but at least there were clues to follow.

Moreover, based on the information she received before being attacked by the World Serpent, Fu Hua and Lin Yu, S-rank Knight from the Far East Branch, had a good relationship.

After being pricked by Lin Yu, Wendy could sense that Lin Yu didn't have much malice towards her at that moment.

It could even be said that Lin Yu not only stopped her atrocities, but also used this method to help her suppress the Herrscher Persona within her.

Furthermore, Lin Yu is Rita Roseweisse's sworn brother.

Wendy, who also trusted Rita, would naturally have great trust in Lin Yu, who had saved her once, for these reasons.

Fu Hua and Lin Yu have a good relationship; they fought Otto, and although she is now Herrscher, she doesn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Fu Hua beat up Otto, and now she has come to Shenzhou and become a high-ranking official Shenzhou with a certain degree of control over the anti- Honkai forces. She even has a good relationship with Lin Yu.

In Wendy's view, at least now she can trust her a little more.

With this thought in mind, Wendy, who was already close to Tai Xu Mountain, rushed towards the location of the 'Crimson Heron Immortal' at top speed.

However, when she arrived at the entrance to Tai Xu Mountain, Wendy suddenly saw someone.

Someone she had only met once, but absolutely did not want to see at this time.

Ten days ago, Valkyrie, who had lost all hope in Otto because he had sided with the World Serpent, met a Wendy in the Haiyuan City.

The Valkyrie was wearing a mask that concealed her face, so Wendy couldn't see her features.

However, even if the other party does not reveal their appearance, as long as enough information is available, it is still possible to identify their identity.

After comparing the other party's physique, voice, and the intensity of Honkai Energy, Wendy immediately confirmed the other party's identity.

Damn it, this guy is Otto's lackey!

How could she be here? — Could it be that my whereabouts have been discovered?

At this moment, Wendy felt that the Herrscher Core, which had been dormant, was now running wildly again thanks to the support of the Honkai God.

It's strange, ever since I entered Shenzhou, the Honkai God's support for me has stopped.

But now, at this point, He has begun to give me strength instead?

Although Wendy is young, as a genius who has been praised as 'a future S-rank Valkyrie's at a young age, how could she be a fool?

Once Wendy realized that the Honkai would only assist her for its own purposes, she could no longer act in accordance with the Honkai's temptations.

He gave me power so that I could use it here to fight this Valkyrie?

Then I'll just not do as you wish!

Calm down. The guy in front of us doesn't seem to notice.

Perhaps her arrival here was just a coincidence... Oh, right!

She said she was the grand-disciple of the Crimson Heron Immortal, and after Fu Hua arrived in Shenzhou, news of the 'Crimson Heron Immortal's manifestation' spread Shenzhou, so Senior Fu Hua is the Crimson Heron Immortal...

—This guy, as Fu Hua's grand-disciple, is actually acting as Otto's lackey?!

If Wendy didn't know that a small act of impatience could ruin a big plan, she would have seriously considered ambushing the other party and exploding with bullets right there and then.

"Hey, are you saying I can't go in again?"

"Excuse me, Ms. Li."

Looking at the troubled girl before him, the martial arts figures of Shenzhou guarding the foot of Tai Xu Mountain spoke politely to Li Sushang.

"But the immortal said that no one is allowed to see her without her order."

"It's for your own good—that's what she said."

Hearing the words of this martial arts expert, Li Sushang could only sigh helplessly and then said to him.

"Alright then, if possible, please inform Master Tai of my visit."

"Must."

After watching the other person leave, Wendy, having heard this news, still chose to step forward.

"Young lady, you..."

Seeing Wendy, who was wearing a cloak and clearly disguising her identity, the martial arts practitioner wanted to refuse.

But at that very moment, a voice suddenly popped into his head.

Let her in.

The reason why Fu Hua is regarded as the 'Crimson Heron Immortal' by the current leaders of Shenzhou and martial arts practitioners is not only because she is really good at fighting, but also because of her ability to speak in other people's minds.

Now, with the immortal's order, those guarding the foot of the mountain will naturally obey Fu Hua's command and send one person to take Wendy up the mountain.

"Huh???"

Li Sushang, who had only walked a few steps, turned around in surprise when she heard no words of refusal behind her.

Upon seeing that Wendy was not only not stopped, but was also invited up the mountain, Li Sushang asked with slight dissatisfaction.

"What exactly is going on? Didn't the Grand Master tell everyone not to go looking for her?"

"Well... the immortal just told us that this young lady is her guest."

Seeing the man's embarrassed expression, Li Sushang, who felt that he wasn't lying, thought the scene was a bit too strange.

Hearing the girl behind her express her dissatisfaction, Wendy couldn't help but lower her voice and say to Li Sushang in an annoyed tone.

"If you want to see the Crimson Heron Immortal, how about you stop being that beast's dog?"

"Those who aid and abet evil have no right to see immortals."

"You--"

Seeing Wendy wearing a cloak and speaking in a low voice, Li Sushang still didn't recognize who she was and wanted to chase after her directly.

At that moment, the other martial arts practitioners present all stood in front of Li Sushang said to her with a troubled expression.

"Miss Li, the immortal's orders must be obeyed. Please don't make things difficult for us."

"... Okay, I understand."

Faced with this group of people blocking her way, Li Sushang couldn't possibly pick up a weapon and knock them all away.

She came to see her master, not to fight.

These people are her master's subordinates. If she were to knock them away now and force her way in—wouldn't that be a slap in her master's face?

In Li Sushang's eyes, after her battle with her master Crimson Heron five hundred years ago, the grudges between them should have been settled.

The Crimson Heron Immortal was not a petty person, so naturally the other party would not avoid meeting her because of those old things from five hundred years ago.

So...

Could it be that the reason this girl gave is the real reason why my master won't see me?

Recalling the scene he witnessed that day, and being forced to leave Li Sushang, his doubts grew even stronger.

Originally, in Li Sushang's eyes, Otto, whom she called Rosharian, should have been a good person who would fight the Herrscher to save the world even if he was betrayed by his squinty-eyed ally.

However, at that time, after seeing Otto's other ally summon several monsters, Li Sushang did have some doubts.

In a sense, the reason she returned to her homeland, Shenzhou, after that war was because she hoped to obtain some information and evaluation about Otto from her master.

But now, after leaving Tai Xu Mountain, Li Sushang has discovered something she had never noticed before.

If the Rosharian and the Grandmaster had a good relationship, why would the Grandmaster want to establish a separate faction at this time to disperse the forces fighting against the Honkai?

So, if we think about it from this perspective...

In the eyes of their master, were the Rosharian truly not good people?

Let's leave it at that for today. My master doesn't want to see me right now, so it's not too late to see her in a few days.

Although I owe the Rosharian a favor, it doesn't mean I'm a member of the Schicksal.
