Thus, The Grand Plan Can Be Achieved

Listening to Cecilia's words, Li Sushang was completely dumbfounded as she watched the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb in the sky actually flying towards them.

No, we've already won. What are those Rosharian doing?

Although she knew that these constantly changing images were not real.

But watching these fighters against the Honkai being repeatedly tricked to their deaths by Otto, Li Sushang suddenly felt—her intuition told her that it was all true.

Li Sushang now completely fails to understand why Otto would do things that are of no benefit to him whatsoever.

The Honkai is harming humanity. If everyone else is doomed, it will be doomed too, right?

The Honkai Energy Fission Bomb is a weapon designed to fight Honkai, isn't it?

Why does this weapon seem to be specifically designed to fight human heroes?

Aren't the Rosharian the archbishops who resist the Honkai Organization's Schicksal?

I know he's not a good person, but I really didn't expect that what he did in the past could be this outrageous.

I keep getting this feeling that the Rosharian are behaving like this...

—It really does seem like a Honkai traitor who has infiltrated humanity.

Chapter 279. Thus, the grand plan can be accomplished.

In the following time, Li Sushang also saw the scene of the Ancestor Chiyuan fighting against the Second Herrscher, but being dragged down by Otto and unable to unleash the full power of the Sword God.

Not only that, she even saw some scenes that were actually seen in the original timeline.

In Li Sushang's eyes, Siegfried and Cecilia were stabbed in the back by Otto with Honkai Energy Fission Bomb after they stopped the energy of the Herrscher Core.

However, in later scenes, Li Sushang saw the scenes that appeared after the 'core rampage'.

On that devastated land, Li Sushang determined that the place was Shenzhou by observing the clothing of the other people around her.

And she had not forgotten what Siegfried had said to her back then.

After the core energy of the Second Herrscher goes berserk, it will continue to spread until it devours half of the Asian continent—this is the disastrous consequence that the world must face after Siegfried and Cecilia's mission failed.

In the time since she woke up, Li Sushang has also learned some modern knowledge with the help of the members of Schicksal.

Even though her mind was blank, she still knew that Shenzhou was in the 'Asian region'.

In other words, if Siegfried and Cecilia hadn't stopped the Herrscher Core energy from spreading, then...

Will our hometown suffer such a calamity?

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, some turned to dust and others slowly stood up, Li Sushang felt her mind go blank.

She only knew that Otto was not a good person and did bad things, but after experiencing all of this, Li Sushang now realized how terrifying Otto's actions were after seeing the tragic state of Shenzhou caused by the energy waves of the Herrscher.

The Rosharian are not only killing warriors fighting against the Honkai, but they could also cause my homeland... no, the whole world to be affected by their selfish desires.

So, I, who assisted him in his actions...

—Isn't he just a complete and utter murderer?!

On the land tainted by Honkai Energy, the female swordsman relentlessly slays the 'Entering Demonic State' and the ever-appearing monsters with her longsword.

However, even the strongest can't fight against overwhelming odds. No matter how strong she is, she can't simultaneously 'defeat the enemy' and 'ensure her own safety' when surrounded by a massive number of enemies.

As the Honkai Beast's claws pierced Li Sushang's abdomen, causing her intense pain, Li Sushang suddenly felt that this was the reward she deserved.

Thinking about it carefully, from the moment I assisted the Rosharian, I became an enemy of the world.

So, perhaps this ending is just my retribution.

As her body temperature gradually dropped, Li Sushang's consciousness also gradually became blurred.

Did I think I was solving a problem, but instead I ended up creating more trouble?

Mother, Master, it turns out I...

—I can't do anything.

When Li Sushang regained consciousness, she was lying on the cold ground, her whole body aching.

After seeing Li Pu's helpless expression, Lin Yu's indifferent face, and the two girls who seemed to pity her, Li Sushang finally realized that this must be reality.

Although this is reality, the scenes that Li Sushang just saw still felt incredibly real to Li Sushang.

"Martial Uncle, Brother Li, I..."

Li Sushang, who was covering her head, stood up unsteadily and immediately looked at Lin Yu.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle... for showing mercy."

"Oh, so you know I went easy on you. Well, it seems you're not entirely clueless after all."

Seeing that the woman he had beaten half to death seemed to have no intention of causing any trouble, Lin Yu suppressed the faint hostility in his heart and used Powerful Healing Technique on Li Sushang.

This unfortunate kid isn't inherently bad; in Lin Yu's eyes, he's a powerful force that can be guided onto the right path with just a little guidance.

In this situation, there is naturally no need to take it out on her and beat her until she is covered in bruises.

Of course, with a little guidance, he can get back on the right track; to put it bluntly, this kid is easy to fool.

In the original story, when she was tricked by Otto into working for Otto explicitly told Rita and Durandal, "I'll help him fight, and after that I'll come and help you."

Then, at that crucial moment, to help Otto, Li Sushang forcibly traded one-on-one with the fully healed Fu Hua, a high-level combatant.

In the later battles to break the barrier and the war against the False God, having an additional Fu Hua- level fighter would reduce the risks the protagonist group would face and increase their chances of winning.

It can be said that if Otto hadn't been beaten to the ground and launched the Great Western King Plan provided by Changguang, then Li Sushang would have been an accomplice in helping Otto slaughter the rest of the world.

As a spectator at the time, Lin Yu could certainly condemn Li Sushang, who was acting as a troublemaker, from all aspects.

But now he's no longer just a spectator; he's a member of this world, and that condemnation...

Well, condemnation is still necessary.

But more important than condemnation is letting Li Sushang know what Otto actually did.

The reason why Li Sushang still helped Otto in the original work was because the only things she knew were those that Durandal had verbally recounted.

However, in the original work Durandal knew that Otto was a villain, but the only major event she knew about that Otto had caused was the Great Honkai that occurred after the Herrscher of the Void was resurrected.

So it's understandable that Li Sushang didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at the time.

Now, in order to prevent his easily fooled junior apprentice from being used as a tool by Otto any longer, Lin Yu had no choice but to use the Sword God, which was infused with the magic of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, to let her see the illusionary scenes and know what Otto had done and what kind of bad consequences Otto things would cause.

Of course, the IF route where Siegfried, Cecilia, and Welt failed to seal the core was a personal creation by Lin Yu using the Phantasm Lantern Barrier.

However, this personal "what if" scenario didn't happen because the heroes fought their way to create this opportunity.

At the time, anyone who had read the story would have realized that the Second Honkai Eruption was actually an extremely dangerous battle.

From the moment Otto released Sirin and obtained the four cores, Welt held back a trump card during his second encounter with Sirin. Fu Hua used the Tai Xu Sword God to disrupt Sirin's mental state. Welt took advantage of Sirin's mental instability to secretly hide in the illusion and wait for her. Tesla and Einstein seized the opportunity to steal the Gem of Conquest, weakening Sirin. Siegfried used the information obtained by Welt to buy time, allowing Anti- Anti-Entropy to create the Awakening Potion Cecilia, gaining the power of a semi- Siegfried Honkai Beast and defeating Sirin. With Siegfried and Cecilia unable to defend themselves, Welt used his soul to drive the Moonlight Throne to block the attacks after the core went berserk. The two of them burned their lives to seal the Second Herrscher's core.

If any one of these steps goes wrong, it will either result in Sirin surviving or the failure of Sirin's core seal.

If it's the latter case, then the IF scenario illusion created by Lin Yu wouldn't be considered exaggerated.

Since Shenzhou is near Siberia, Otto and Kevin both concluded that 'half of Asia must be abandoned,' and Shenzhou, being near Siberia, would inevitably suffer the most.

If it were the former scenario... even if the Conquest of Thunder was taken away and hidden by the Anti-Entropy duo, Welt inside the Herrscher of Reason Core was still alive, for Sirin, whose dragon servant had died and who believed she had been deceived by Cecilia, this world had no reason to exist anymore.

If the Herrscher of the Void were to become completely corrupted and return to the moon to drop meteorites, it's hard to say how many humans would die.

Of course, this IF line was too exciting, and Lin Yu couldn't figure it out.

What he wanted was a powerful enforcer who knew where he went wrong and could repent, not a miserable old man who had been driven to a mental breakdown by his own actions.

As for Li Sushang, who had regained consciousness and whose injuries had improved, although she hadn't broken down, she was clearly not in a very good mental state.

After all, a female knight-errant who wanted to uphold justice found herself helping a great demon who had harmed countless innocent people and framed human heroes, and could still laugh and say, "It's alright, it's alright, I've repented"...

—If Li Sushang really said that, Lin Yu should worry that this girl might have been driven crazy by him to say such things.

"I think that after this sword strike, you no longer need to seek that so-called answer from your master."

After glancing at Li Sushang, who was still mentally unstable, Lin Yu continued speaking to Li Sushang.

"Don't question whether what I'm showing you is real or fake. There are even more exciting scenes out there."

"He has done countless beastly things over the past five hundred years. I've just randomly selected a few cases involving people you know to give you a glimpse into the truth."

"Martial Uncle..."

At this moment, Li Sushang, who was supporting herself with her longsword as she stood up, asked Lin Yu with a look of near collapse.

"The Rosharian... Do you know Otto? Why did he do this?"

"The person I know... shouldn't be like this."

"Hey, you're still not giving up."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Yu's previously calm expression suddenly froze.

"Does his reason for doing these things matter?"

"Isn't the important thing that he is harming innocent people because of his own selfish desires?"

"Many people have been harmed by his selfish desires in the past, and many people are still being harmed by his selfish desires now. If we do not stop him, even more people will be harmed by his rampant desires in the future."

"Now, instead of caring about how to deal with the trouble this guy caused, you want to know about his thought process?"

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly placed the Xuanyuan Sword against Li Sushang 'Li Sushang neck and coldly said to her.

"Instead of worrying about the innocent people you should be protecting, you're concerned about Otto, who's taking advantage of you and is committing atrocities?"

"If you still can't see things clearly, I think I'll just kill you with one sword now, so you won't accidentally help Otto slaughter humans in a moment of madness."

"I, I, I..."

"Lin Yu, let's forget about it."

Seeing Li Sushang's almost tearful expression, Mei, standing behind Lin Yu, finally softened.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, I think this young lady should already know that she has a problem."

"Although she acted rashly when we met, she was quite polite afterwards. She must be a reasonable person."

"A person who is reasonable but knows small manners but not the greater good, if he has enough power, will be fooled by villains and become their accomplice."

"As a member of the Taixu Sect, you assisted the fool who Entering Demonic State."

"As Shenzhou citizen, you are assisting villains who may threaten Shenzhou."

"As a person of this world, you have assisted those who have allowed the Honkai to develop unchecked for 500 years, resulting in more people in the world being harmed."

"Your master may not have taught you what to do in this situation, so as your Martial Uncle, I should now teach you what is the right thing to do."

"Actually... my master did say that."

After Lin Yu mentioned his master, Li Sushang recalled Cheng Lingshuang's evaluation of her at the time.

"She once said that, like my mother, I have no taste in men..."

"Oh, so this traitor said something like that."

Hearing Li Sushang's mutterings, Lin Yu sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and snorted coldly.

"Heh, so your master already warned you back then, but you still chose not to listen to him, didn't you?"

"How exactly did Master choose his disciples? He chose seven traitors as his disciples, and then those traitors' disciples ended up disobeying their master and becoming dogs for those scoundrels."

Normally, even knowing about the past incidents, Li Sushang would never allow anyone to speak of her master in an insulting tone.

But now, Li Sushang's Dao heart is completely in chaos.

If Lin Yu hadn't held back, her sword heart might have shattered the moment her sword god technique was broken.

"Forget it, I've said everything I needed to say, and I don't have time to waste with you anymore."

After turning his gaze to the absurd person beside him, Lin Yu asked the absurd person a question.

"Brother Li, please help me and my companions..."

"Lin Yu."
