A Terrifying Layout

"Xiao Yi can now even use your powers, Senior. I think you should understand the seriousness of the matter now."

... This is a really big problem.

Xiao Yi was able to use three powers within three months. Although she does not have Herrscher Core now, she has already demonstrated the characteristic that multiple powers do not conflict within her body.

The Herrscher Core, on the other hand, can be plugged in and unplugged...

Xiao Yi suddenly gained control over my powers; there's definitely someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.

I'm fucking...

I was wondering why nothing major had happened in the past month, yet the accelerated Honkai of our relationship had now spread to my daughter?

I wanted to continue preparing for a few more days, but now it seems that dealing with Otto absolutely cannot be delayed.

If this drags on any longer, Xiao Yi will be the first one to get into trouble.

My parents have already been taken away by the Honkai, and now...

—Damn Honkai, I won't let you take my daughter away again!

Chapter 284. A Terrifying Scheme

Although both Yuno and Lin Yu are worried about Lin Yi's safety, their levels of concern are naturally not the same due to differences in the information they have.

Compared to Yuno, who is currently very worried about Lin Yi, Lin Yu, who knows the original plot, is now sweating profusely.

Mei and Yuno the information they obtained through Bronya's black system that Kiana's predecessor, Sirin, was fine after accommodating six cores.

However, Lin Yu himself knew very well that although Sirin had an incredibly strong talent in accommodating cores fourteen years ago, her ability to miraculously control six cores at the same time was entirely due to support from the Honkai.

After all, seventeen years after the end of the Second Honkai Eruption, during the Celestial Meteor era in the original timeline, Kiana, without Honkai Support, was forced to the brink of death after only containing the three cores of Void, Lightning, and Death.

If Honkai really intends to use Lin Yu's Daughter as the new multi-core prototype...

Even if Lin Yi is very sensible, she is still just a child.

If it really comes to that, in Lin Yu's view, his daughter will either be driven insane or driven to death.

No matter how mature a child's mind is, they are still a child. Expecting her to forcibly overcome the despair that even adults struggle to overcome and regain her self-awareness... that's asking too much of her.

Moreover, I had not retrieved the memories I had intentionally forgotten before.

Now, let's sort out the timeline. In Changkong City, I was almost lured into becoming Herrscher of Constraint due to excessive despair.

At the time, I chose to forcibly suppress the Herrscher Transformation by forgetting the past.

And now...

When Herrscher in the Honkai world transform Honkai Herrscher Transformation, several different situations usually occur.

Special case— The Herrscher of Reason, relying on the souls and consciousness of 300,000 people, maintains consciousness from sliding towards the Honkai more easily than other Herrscher.

The first common scenario is the corruption of a single personality.

During the Second Honkai Eruption, Sirin suffered greatly, which led to her personality turning dark and turning her into an avenger seeking revenge against civilization.

Wendy, who experienced her Fourth Honkai Outbreak in the original work, seems to be in a similar state—after all, other people can pull her back by saying a few words, which doesn't seem like a personality switch.

The second common scenario is multiple personality switching.

This situation occurred with Mei, Fu Hua, and K423.

Mei's Herrscher Persona Mei actually Stigmata Personality, while Fu Hua's Herrscher Persona is a personality created by the Honkai itself. K423's good personality Kiana and evil personality Sirin are two extreme personalities that appeared after Sirin herself separated good and evil.

In hindsight, my previous analysis may have been flawed.

At that time, I... did not create a Newborn Personality, but forcibly split the original personality in two.

As the personality on the vengeful side, after actively forgetting the past, she willingly took on the corruption from the Honkai, transforming herself into the Herrscher Persona.

As Newborn Personality, this part of the personality, having forgotten the past, caused the birth of the Herrscher of Constraint to remain at the stage of personality division. That's why my core wasn't detected—after all, it hadn't reached the stage of core condensation yet.

Xiao Yi's genes were collected more than a month after this incident. After I fully awakened my own power, she would be affected by me... Now that I think about it carefully, it makes perfect sense.

I think I know why Xiao Yi was the only successful test subject in that experiment.

Could it be that her existence was also guided by the Honkai?

Now that I think about it, if Elysia hadn't helped me with prenatal education, my daughter might have been able to master some of the powers of the three Herrscher, and might even have inherited Sirin's talent...

If Number Seventeen guides her to condense her core one day, and then, when we are extremely weak after a battle with a powerful enemy, she steals our cores...

Dominion Theater.

So, this was originally Honkai God's plan regarding emotions.

In the past, I came to Changkong City in an attempt to climb higher in order to better avenge the Honkai.

But after witnessing Otto and Cocolia's true colors, my disappointment was gradually led to despair.

However, before despair, I realized the idea of Honkai and took the initiative to use special means to interrupt the appearance of the constraint core on my body.

After this plan failed, Honkai, following its second plan, not only induced Rei's awakening but also guided Sora's awakening... Siegfried will appear here, and if he dies, Sora will realize that he might actually awaken.

As a result, I interrupted these two things, and Honkai God proceeded with its subsequent plans.

The Gray Serpent's Blood of the Strong plan, on the other hand, gave Honkai new room for maneuver.

World Serpent's technology in replicating humans is certainly superior to Otto's, but fusing the genes of three people simultaneously is far more difficult than fusing the genes of two people simultaneously.

However, Xiao Yi was born immediately under these circumstances, which indicates that her consciousness showed signs of interference from the Honkai.

However, because the Key of Reason exists in the heart of everyone in the world, Elysia had noticed the Honkai Plan, immediately kidnapped Xiao Yi using a method I didn't know about, and then quickly started prenatal education, ensuring that Xiao Yi was not led astray.

Otherwise, the Herrscher of Constraint would not be me, but my daughter.

If the plan to Honkai proceeds at this pace, Xiao Yi will have condensed the Core of Constraint ahead of time, and then, in conjunction with the Dominion Theater, seize the power of others. With this double weakening, she will become an opponent that no one can defeat.

When Kevin comes out, he'll be half-crippled. I don't have enough power. Otto and Old Yang combined aren't enough to beat Kevin with one hand. Bianca hasn't grown up yet. With Xiao Yi and the Dominion Theater, we can basically maintain absolute dominance over everyone in terms of power.

While Su and Fu Hua are also very strong, considering the ability of the Dominion Theater to divide the battlefield, powerful reinforcements cannot be gathered together and will only be defeated one by one.

The only one who can beat her is probably Kevin, the T0 version who ate Chi Chiyou sashimi.

Moreover, even if she hadn't condensed the core of emptiness, she already possessed the power of emptiness.

My daughter is so smart that she was able to use her powers to save the Ghost Teacher when Otto attacked him. If the situation really came to that point, and she found that she couldn't beat the well-fed Kevin, she would definitely run away without saying a word.

Of course, to micromanage Dominion Theater while fighting powerful enemies was too difficult for Lin Yu.

Therefore, in this plan he suspected, the Dominion Theater should be controlled by someone else.

If the two players don't coordinate well, then this lineup will still have weaknesses.

Even so, this lineup is still terrifying.

Their strength is terrifying; they can divide the battlefield. Their main combat force is intelligent enough to run away if they can't win. If their main force develops, humanity will likely suffer heavy casualties Finality.

Damn it, even knowing something's wrong with this world, I still can't help but say something...

—Damn Prometheus, how could this guy's plan be so terrifying?

So, after my deadly battle with Kevin, we both ended up badly injured, which was actually His backup plan out of desperation, right?

"Senior, your complexion is getting worse and worse."

Seeing Lin Yu's unusually fearful expression, Yuno great concern.

"This is just my guess, Xiao Yi..."

"Okay, there's no use comforting you with lies at a time like this. You'll definitely be able to tell if I'm lying anyway."

"... Don't overthink it, I'm fine."

At this moment, Lin Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his facial expression, and forcibly activated his cold-face trait.

"But now, we probably don't have time to rest."

"While we are resting, the Honkai is still taking place."

"And Otto has most likely already completely turned into a Honkai dog."

"Next, both for personal and professional reasons, I need to find Otto and kill him as soon as possible, so..."

"—Tomorrow, let's launch a full-scale attack on Otto."

That night, in a coffee shop

In what appears to be an ordinary coffee shop, a man with long gray hair and a man with short white hair looked at each other and finally both revealed a slightly nostalgic smile.

Looking at his friend who had arrived as promised, Kevin smiled and said something quite unusual.

"I'm so glad you could come, Sue."

"Ah, I'm glad you invited me over, Kevin."

The two people sitting in the coffee shop looked at each other, their best friends, and it felt as if time had turned back 50,000 years.

However, no matter how happy the two were at this moment, they both knew very well that now was not the time to sit down and chat.

"Let me ask the most crucial question first."

Looking at her friend, Su's smile gradually faded, and she asked Kevin.

"Kevin, you should have already noticed that the Honkai is accelerating."

"Now, the World Serpent has had a large amount of its power destroyed by Mr. Otto. Under these circumstances, it is much more difficult for the World Serpent to launch the Stigmata Plan than in the past."

"Under these circumstances, do you still decide to continue with the Stigmata Plan?"

"Nature."

After nodding slightly, Kevin, who also composed himself, spoke calmly to Sue.

"Perhaps in your and others' eyes I have become obsessed, but in my own opinion, humanity still needs the Stigmata Plan."

"Because the Honkai is accelerating, humanity doesn't have much time left. That's why I can't give up this worst-case scenario, but it is also a useful one."

"Time..."

Having spent so much time together, both of them felt an overwhelming sense of regret.

In the nearly one month since then, Kevin, who has learned about the current state of this era through the World Serpent Intelligence Network, has to admit that this era, after inheriting the legacy of their previous era, has really progressed much more smoothly than theirs.

In terms of weaponry, this era not only possesses the Divine Key and relics left behind by their previous era, but also developed Valkyrie armor based on the Blank Key, and even created powerful weapons such as the [Divine Throne] using Soul Steel.

In terms of high-end combat power, the human side not only has sufficiently powerful warriors like Siegfried, Theresa, and Bianca, but also uses special methods to get all the Herrscher on the human side.

Even Su, who should have lost her life force by using the Void Key to observe other worlds, managed to avoid her fate of disappearing through some inexplicable means and became a powerful supporter of humanity.

From a logistical standpoint, although the HSN Serum developed by Dr. Mags was expensive in terms of materials, it was still much cheaper than the one-thousandth of what they used back then.

Moreover, it wasn't just Dr. Mags; Jackal also used data left from the Previous Era to develop some low-end anti -Honkai drugs.

It's fair to say that if the Honkai hadn't accelerated, this situation would have been an absolute perfect opportunity. Even Kevin would have considered waiting and seeing how things went before continuing with the Ascension Plan.

Unfortunately, because the Honkai was accelerating, the perfect hand instantly turned into a complete disaster.

Even if the situation looks good on the surface, in Kevin's eyes, if humanity of this era cannot defeat the Finality, then all these things will eventually turn into nothingness.

Because he had faced the Finality directly, he knew just how powerful the Finality back then.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time left for this world.

"So, having completed all the backup plans, I think it's time for the plan to move to the next stage."

No matter how strong Lin Yu's talent is, or how hard the people of this era work, if they cannot surpass my power and awareness, then all of this will ultimately be meaningless.

But when I took over that power, it meant that humanity had absolutely no other way out.

Therefore, Lin Yu must become stronger before he can do anything else.

"You and Lin Yu have a good relationship, so Su, I hope you can pass on a message to him."

"Let him come to the World Serpent. I hope that day will come before..."

"—Lin Yu can enter the [Land of the Past] first."
