The Real Enemy

After all, Shenzhou is my hometown, so dealing with any monsters that might appear here is simply what I should do.

Once my master sees my performance, he will probably approve of me now.

When the time comes, I will go to see my master again.

After proving myself...

—Grandmaster, you should be able to see me soon, right?

Tai Xu Mountain

At the top of Tai Xu Mountain, Fu Hua opened her eyes after sensing Wendy, who had been brought there.

"Immortal, your honored guest has arrived."

"You've worked hard, please go down the mountain now—others, if you didn't hear my summons, please don't bring anyone up the mountain."

"Yes."

Upon reaching the Tai Xu Mountain, Wendy looked at the woman before her and felt that she...

—Just by opening its eyes, it exuded an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression.

Wendy could even sense that this oppressive feeling wasn't directed at her.

Given this premise, just seeing her fills me with fear.

Noticing that Wendy was afraid of him, Fu Hua adjusted his state and spoke softly to Wendy.

"Wendy, I've heard about you."

"You came to Tai Xu Mountain to find me, so you must have seen some inside information."

"Yes!"

Hearing the other party's calm words, Wendy didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately spoke to Fu Hua.

"The Crimson Heron Immortal— "

"Just call me Fu Hua."

"Alright, Fu Hua... senior."

Hearing that the other party had revealed her inner thoughts, Wendy naturally would not continue to hide it, but instead told the woman in front of her what she had seen in Haiyuan City.

However, after she finished speaking, she immediately saw that Fu Hua's eyes suddenly turned blood red.

"That scoundrel Otto actually dared to do that!"

"Knowing full well that the Stigmata Plan would threaten all of humanity, he actually helped World Serpent release Kevin?!"

"So that's why Kevin was able to escape even though Su was watching the Quantum Sea. It wasn't that Su was slacking off, but that Otto did it."

After saying these words, 'Fu Hua' suddenly looked at Wendy and said.

"I know you're also unhappy with Otto, so now—I think we should do this."

"If you acknowledge me as your master, I will teach you the Tai Xu Sword Qi to control the Honkai Energy within your body."

"With your talent that could potentially be promoted to the fourth S-rank at any time, coupled with your status as Herrscher, your speed in cultivating the Tai Xu Sword Qi should be quite fast."

"After you finish your training, you and I, master and disciple, will find that scoundrel Otto, and then..."

"I will personally smash his dog's head to avenge your senior brother Lin Yu!"

"Once he's dead, all the problems will be solved, so now..."

"—My dear disciple, please call me Master first."

Chapter 249. The Real Enemy

Hearing what 'Fu Hua' said, Wendy was stunned for a moment before realizing that this drastic change in personality was because the Herrscher Persona had suddenly emerged.

However, although the woman's body was suddenly taken over by the Herrscher Persona, Wendy could sense that the other party did not have any ill intentions towards her.

It's strange, compared to my Herrscher Persona that always wants to take over my body, Senior Fu Hua's Herrscher Persona seems surprisingly easy to talk to.

However, just as Wendy was about to respond, the other person's eyes returned to their original color.

Upon realizing that she had once again failed to suppress the Herrscher of Reason's personality, Fu Hua immediately spoke apologetically to Wendy.

"Ignore what she said."

"I will teach you the cultivation method of the Tai Xu Sword Qi and assist you in controlling the Herrscher Core and the Honkai Energy within your body."

"But... you don't need to call me Master."

"I am not qualified to be called that by others."

Seeing a fleeting hint of sadness in Fu Hua's eyes, Wendy naturally didn't press the matter further.

At the same time, after saying those words, many images flashed through Fu Hua's mind.

She has forgotten many memories, but forgetting memories does not mean that she cannot deduce those forgotten memories based on other memories and the information in the Schicksal Database.

In the past, Fu Hua, who was the master of the Seven Swords of Taixu, was killed after being besieged by the Seven Swords for some reason.

After that, during the Second Honkai Eruption 14 years ago, Fu Hua, who faced Sirin directly, once again forgot some of her memories.

Even though Fu Hua had forgotten her memories, she still clearly felt that the Valkyrie beside her was an important person to her.

Afterwards, Fu Hua returned to Schicksal and, after checking the information in the Schicksal database, learned that the sacrificial Valkyrie was named Cheng Lixue.

Considering that the other party called out "Master" to her before she lost consciousness, Cheng Lixue was also her disciple.

This year, after meeting Lin Yu, the relationship between Fu Hua and Lin Yu became complicated because of Feathered Dust. But looking back now, perhaps it was because she saw this young man as a promising talent that she devoted herself to nurturing him.

However, both Cheng Lixue and Lin Yu died in battle against powerful enemies.

In the past, my actions were so unacceptable that even my apprentices could not tolerate them.

And now, as the master, I can't even protect the disciple who needs my protection...

I am not qualified to be anyone else's mentor at all.

What Crimson Heron Immortal, what Fusion Warrior, in the end, it all comes down to me now...

—He's just an incompetent person whose progress was hampered by his Herrscher Persona, making him completely unable to continue fighting against the Honkai.

St. Freya Academy in a certain World Bubble.

After Cecilia received information from Lin Yu that overwhelmed her brain, Cecilia pondered for a while before reluctantly suppressing her doubts and choosing to continue discussing future plans with Lin Yu.

According to Lin Yu's speculation, since he was able to enter this World Bubble, it means that this World Bubble is not completely closed.

As the head of the Far East Branch in this World Bubble, Cecilia has the authority to allow the members of the Far East Branch to explore the surrounding environment.

The fact that Lin Yu landed at the St. Freya Academy means that the 'entrance' to this World Bubble must also be nearby.

If they can find an exit, their chances of leaving this World Bubble will increase significantly.

As for other matters...

Cecilia was eager to go out and see her husband and daughter.

Lin Yu was in a hurry to go out and deal with the Honkai.

But these days, things don't work out quickly.

Otto was eager to save Kallen, and Kevin was eager to save the world, but even in their haste, they could only follow their plans step by step.

Now, facing this unknown World Bubble, Lin Yu felt that it was unavoidable that finding an exit would take several days.

After obtaining some access to the academy from Cecilia, Lin Yu originally intended to leave.

However, just before he was about to leave, Cecilia suddenly looked at Ling, who was standing next to Lin Yu.

"Miss, could you please stay and have a chat with me?"

After hearing Cecilia's words, Ling subconsciously looked at Lin Yu.

But in that instant, she suddenly realized—this was someone else who invited me, why should I ask this guy's opinion!

"Alright, since you have something to discuss with Mrs. Sania, I won't bother you any longer."

Lin Yu glanced at Ling, who had inexplicably become angry, and didn't bother to spend time thinking about the matter.

The woman got angry for no apparent reason, and the others tried to guess what she was thinking and then comfort her...

This is such a hassle.

I have a lot to do right now, and I can't be bothered with whatever grudges she has.

And...

After glancing at Cecilia, whose eyes now held a strange look, Lin Yu thought that perhaps the woman before him could resolve the resentment in Ling's heart.

Although Rin hated everything in the world because of what happened 50,000 years ago, in the original story, when she learned that Theresa was willing to give up her resentment towards Otto and forgive Otto for killing Cecilia, she immediately gave up her hatred and eventually became that big sister monster.

Even knowing the strategy guide, Lin Yu couldn't resolve Ling's resentment. In the past, it was because Lin Yu didn't possess the pure goodness of Theresa, but now...

—He had already discovered that it was true that he was a vengeful spirit. Under these circumstances, facing Rin, who could sense other people's inner feelings, he tried to persuade her to give up her hatred for the world.

I hope that when he's spouting nonsense, Rin might resonate with his inner feelings and cause her hatred for humanity to intensify.

But Cecilia is different from him.

Even when faced with Sirin, who once tried to destroy the world, Cecilia still showed her 'love'.

If Cecilia can alleviate some of the resentment in Ling's heart, then for Lin Yu, this can be considered a good thing.

After Lin Yu left, Ling looked at the woman in front of her who made her very uncomfortable and asked her in an annoyed tone.

"What's wrong? We don't even know each other. Why are you suddenly asking me to stay? What nonsense are you trying to spout?"

"Miss..."

Seeing that Rin was clearly in a bad mood, Cecilia smiled wryly and said softly to Rin.

"When my soul was attached to Mr. Lin Yu's body before, I sensed that there was a resentful soul in him."

"So, you've come to persuade me to give up on revenge?"

The moment she finished speaking, Ling burst out laughing.

"You are such a kind person, but it's a pity that you have no idea what happened to me in the past."

"I inexplicably became Herrscher, and inexplicably was imprisoned by the so-called anti -Honkai organization from the Previous Civilization you mentioned."

"At the time, I believed in that organization, so I didn't cry or resist. Guess what happened to me in the end?"

Looking at Cecilia's sorrowful eyes, Ling said with a cold laugh.

"They considered Herrscher to be enemies. Even though I did nothing to threaten them, they still killed me with weapons when I had no power at the time."

"I did nothing wrong, but in the end I lost my life because of these guys' idea of 'wanting to defeat the Honkai '."

"Even my sister died in that turmoil while protecting me."

"I lost my life inexplicably, I lost my loved ones inexplicably, and in this situation—you want me to give up hatred?!"

Seeing the woman's slightly embarrassed expression, Ling continued with a cold smile.

"If you were in this situation, could you guarantee that you wouldn't hate your enemies?"

"Furthermore, Cecilia Sania, according to the information Lin Yu gave you, your family and loved ones have also been persecuted by Otto."

"Can you guarantee that if your enemy Otto appeared before you, you could let go of the hatred in your heart?"

"Perhaps not."

After hearing Cecilia say those words so decisively, Rin suddenly paused for a moment.

In Ling's view, after saying these words, this woman would inevitably use those high-sounding words to persuade her.

At this moment, Bell, who could sense the emotions of others, was even prepared to refute Cecilia's hypocritical words.

However, after Cecilia decisively uttered a statement that Rin hadn't expected, Rin was stunned and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
