What Jianghu Code of Honor? Let's All Charge Together!
Hearing Kevin's unsurprised statement, Su shook her head helplessly.
"I will pass this message on to Mr. Lin Yu, but whether he will listen or whether he will have time is another matter."
"Kevin, you may not know Mr. Lin Yu well enough, but based on what I know of him, even if he believes what you say, he hasn't had time to go to the Land of the Past lately."
"After all, Mr. Otto will inevitably launch a final counterattack next."
"And when he launches his counterattack, Mr. Lin Yu will definitely seize the opportunity to find a way to completely eliminate Mr. Otto, the biggest threat in the fight against the Honkai."
Chapter 285. Forget about chivalry and honor! Let's all attack together!
Hearing his friend's words, Kevin didn't say much, but Su, sitting opposite Kevin, could tell that Kevin's mood had clearly worsened.
From an objective standpoint, Otto's support played a crucial role in Kevin's escape from the Quantum Sea.
At that time, Otto not only sent the Plague Gem as the key to unlock the Abyssal Eye, but also brought two high-end combatants, including himself, into the battle.
To be honest, if Otto hadn't brought his men to cause trouble, even if World Serpent had Wendy and the Plague Gem as its two 'keys', it wouldn't have had a chance to release Kevin under the combined attack of Siegfried, Welt, and Sue, given their insufficient combat power.
However, Kevin's feelings towards Otto are definitely worse now than before.
During this month, besides recovering from his injuries and adjusting his condition, Kevin spent the rest of his time gathering a great deal of information.
Combining this intelligence with the information Kevin saw fourteen years ago through the Kaslana Stigmata on Siegfried's body, Kevin can easily conclude that what Otto is actually doing is definitely different from what he appears to be doing on the surface.
At that time, after Siegfried awakened Kaslana's Power of Salvation, he was powerful enough to easily kill ordinary Herrscher.
According to subsequent intelligence, Siegfried was even able to seal the core of the Second Herrscher together with his beloved wife, causing Kevin's prediction that "this calamity will spread to half of Asia" to be wrong. Therefore, he must have unleashed even more powerful strength.
If Otto is merely a 'leader' who will stop at nothing to fight the Honkai, then making good use of Siegfried as a powerful tool would certainly be a good choice.
With Siegfried, in the subsequent battles, apart from the elusive Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Domination whose sheer numbers make it impossible to solve the problem with sheer combat power, the Dominance Herrscher Constraint Herrscher is simply difficult to deal with, the Erosion Herrscher is equally difficult to capture and is a natural counter to technology, and the Herrscher of Finality is so powerful that it inspires despair, the remaining six Herrscher —Lightning, Wind, Ice, Death, Fire, and Rock—should not be a match for the awakened Siegfried.
Then, faced with such an incredibly powerful subordinate who could wipe out the Herrscher for him, Otto's choice was...
—While Siegfried and Cecilia had just sealed the Herrscher Core, he threw Honkai Energy Fission Bomb at them.
The fact that Otto would use such a weapon of mass destruction against his powerful subordinates suggests either that he was incompetent and failed to realize that the Herrscher Core had been sealed, or that Otto himself did not intend to kill the Honkai, so he tried to kill Siegfried, who posed the greatest threat to the Honkai, without hesitation.
Although Kevin and Otto have only met a handful of times, Kevin can tell that Otto is no pushover.
Otto is either an idiot or a scoundrel.
A leader of an anti -Honkai organization who has possessed a large amount of legacy from the Previous Era and has held power over Schicksal for so many years should have been a key figure in the fight against Honkai.
Otto inherited these assets and enjoyed the benefits that came with them and the position of Archbishop of Schicksal, but he failed to fulfill his responsibilities. Naturally, Kevin would not have any goodwill towards such a person.
Kevin had no interest in knowing why Otto did it.
All he needed to know was that Otto Apocalypse was a dangerous person, someone he absolutely could not trust, and who was very likely his enemy.
It was precisely because Kevin read these materials and analyzed this intelligence that he broke his oath with Otto and failed to hand over the beacon to Otto.
He just has a low level of education, not a low IQ.
Otto is clearly not a good person. When faced with such crooked and evil practices, what's the point of talking about keeping promises and honors...?
—If Kevin were truly such a pedantic person, he wouldn't have chosen to take such a risky path as to begin human experimentation in preparation for the Stigmata Plan 1,500 years ago.
"Alright then, let's do this."
After a moment's thought, Kevin said to Sue.
"I will also participate in this battle against Otto."
"I'll talk to Lin Yu about the Land of the Past myself. As for whether he believes me or not... we'll see then."
"... You're actually going to make a move?"
Hearing that Kevin had actually chosen to participate in this battle, Su was a little surprised. After sorting out her thoughts, she realized that this was actually the path Kevin would choose.
He does want to carry out the Stigmata Plan, but carrying out the Stigmata Plan is a means, not the result he seeks.
Kevin is a warrior who strives to fight against the Honkai, and that has remained unchanged from the past to the present.
He might have other thoughts in his mind, but in Su's eyes, everything Kevin did was indeed to fight against the Honkai.
Now that Otto has clearly become a stumbling block for humanity in its fight against the Honkai, it is perfectly reasonable for Kevin to choose to help humanity remove this obstacle.
Moreover, Su felt that his other comrade-in-arms, Hua, would definitely be ready to fight in this battle.
The three, who haven't fought side-by-side against an enemy in a long time, are about to team up again because Otto is surprisingly about to...
To be honest, Su was actually quite happy.
Even if, after this battle, people might still turn against each other due to choices, even temporary cooperation would bring him some comfort.
"Alright, remember to send me the detailed plan later, after all..."
"Otto Apocalypse is indeed a man not to be underestimated."
"Ah, I understand."
After finishing their conversation, the two simultaneously used the Quantum Teleportation System to return to their respective territories.
Back inside Anti-Entropy, Su, while organizing a large amount of intelligence, also habitually placed his clone inside the Schicksal Headquarters and disguised it as an ordinary Schicksal member.
Although Su no longer needed to use such methods to steal information from within Schicksal after Lin Yu's return, he believed that the closer he was to fighting Otto, the more cautious he needed to be.
However, about eight hours later, Sue suddenly heard a sound he shouldn't have heard.
Somewhere in the Schicksal Headquarters, Su suddenly sensed a powerful spiritual force.
This spiritual power is spreading outwards using a special wavelength, and only those with extremely strong spiritual power can detect its fluctuations.
[Hello, hello, can you hear me? Su, if you can hear me, answer quickly, I have something urgent.]
That familiar mental fluctuation... it's Mr. Lin Yu.
I can hear you, please speak.
At this moment Lin Yu, who was surrounded by gossips in the bar early in the morning, was dealing with his colleagues who were full of gossip while speaking to Su using his mental power.
I suspect that Otto, that bastard, caused even more serious problems during this time, and he hasn't stopped causing trouble during the Honkai era either.
[Continuing this drags on is disadvantageous for us, so I think we should launch a full-scale attack on Otto.]
I think so too.
After reviewing the intelligence he had compiled, Su sent it to Kevin through a special channel and then spoke to Lin Yu.
I have some intelligence that should come in handy in this battle.
[I see, that's excellent.]
And judging from your current behavior, you probably still intend to use this method to continue to confuse Mr. Otto, right?
"Well, after all, it's Otto."
[If I were to fight him, I wouldn't mind using twelve thousand tricks.]
However, now that you're here, many things are much easier to discuss.
[Please use your mental powers to forward what I said to Kiana, Mei, Yuno, and Bronya, and then we can proceed with the next phase of our tactical discussion.]
About a minute later, after listening to what Lin Yu had said, Su remained silent for several seconds, somewhat speechless, before asking Lin Yu a question.
Mr. Lin Yu, is it really necessary to go to this extent?
[Of course I am. I'm planning to make my move today, but if the news gets out that 'Lin Yu is still surrounded inside the bar,' Otto will probably relax a little.]
About ten minutes later, inside the Schicksal Bar
Inside the Schicksal Bar, Kiana, Mei, Yuno suddenly walked in from one of the bar's entrances, looking at Lin Yu with unfriendly expressions.
"Oh my gosh! Everyone! Make way, make way!"
Mike, who happened to be on vacation today, saw the three men approaching with obvious murderous intent and said to his companions with a smug smile, "I'm just watching a show."
"The leading ladies are here! Hurry up and make room for them!"
"Oh my gosh! The scene I've been waiting for has arrived!"
"Hehehe, even Lin Yu, the strongest in the Schicksal, must be sweating profusely by now."
"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with having a harem."
"Lin Yu is so handsome and strong, it's no problem for him to have a harem, but—that is, he has to be able to handle his girlfriends."
Seeing the crowd around him who were clearly there to watch the drama unfold, Lin Yu, who was already drenched in sweat, took a step back.
Even though I'm acting, you bunch of idiots...
Damn it, you really love making things worse, don't you?
The killing intent emanating from Kiana, Mei, Yuno, who appeared here at this moment, was undoubtedly genuine.
Contrary to what the uninformed crowd might have imagined, the three of them were not jealous of each other at all.
Kiana, who was in a bad state but was putting on a brave face, Mei, who had just experienced happiness yesterday, and Yuno, who was worried about her daughter, all seemed completely unaware that they should do something as pointless as being jealous of each other.
Senior Lin Yu is already exhausted enough; why are we adding to his burden? Is this something a human being should do?
The reason they had such terrifying killing intent was that Lin Yu, through Su, used mental power to tell the four people in the Schicksal Headquarters, including Bronya, that Lin Yu was preparing to have a decisive battle with Otto today.
The four people who now know Otto's true intentions all have some kind of deep-seated hatred towards Otto.
The thought that the damned villain was still committing evil deeds naturally fueled their intense killing intent towards Otto.
As for why Lin Yu didn't tell Durandal and Rita, the reason is quite simple.
He believed that his sister, who was even smarter than him, would immediately understand the situation.
As for Bianca... well, Bianca isn't clever enough.
Even Mei has become a better actress during this time.
If Bianca comes over, and her acting isn't good enough, she'll expose me. Then all my pretense will have been for nothing.
As for now...
No, the murderous intent emanating from everyone wasn't directed at me, but what exactly is this resentment?
[Building a harem inherently carries a high probability of facing Yandere attack; don't you have that kind of awareness after you've started building your harem?!]
You've finally shown yourself.
If you don't show up soon, I'll think you've already sent it.
Forget it, even if you send it, this system won't send it.
Stop criticizing me, what exactly are you trying to do by suddenly appearing out of nowhere?
[Isn't that obvious? The show this system has been waiting for has finally arrived, so of course this system has to jump out at lightning speed to watch the fun!]
[And here's a hint: the resentment they're radiating right now is 100% because of you.]
... Okay, I admit that having a harem is indeed unfair to these good girls.
However, is it somewhat inappropriate for them to express their resentment at this time?
Rather, is this really the kind of emotion people would develop at this time...?
Humans are emotional beings, and women are even more emotional than men.
[You actually expect a group like the Herrscher, whose personalities are prone to extremism, to remain rational at all times? Perhaps you should look in the mirror and see yourself first.]
[Someone who willingly split their personality in half and forgot their memories for revenge still has the nerve to say these things, huh?]
Completely unaware that the three people's resentment stemmed from the fact that ' Lin Yu didn't plan to rest and was instead working overtime, not treating them well at all,' Lin Yu cautiously spoke to the three of them.
"Um, everyone, I think..."
"Hey, A'yu, what are you doing here?"
At that moment, Rita, who had already learned from others that Lin Yu was at the bar, arrived at the scene immediately.
After all, no one knows a brother better than his sister. Her brother, who never drinks, was going to a bar early in the morning—that was definitely suspicious.
But now, looking at Lin Yu surrounded by the three of them, Rita still didn't expect that her younger brother would stumble so quickly in this regard.
