"A'yu, hurry up and spit this thing out!"

"Alright, sis, using a large scythe isn't really suitable for dissection, and besides, right now..."

After feeling the negative emotions surging within him, Lin Yu exhaled a deep breath.

"It's too late. Even if we perform surgery now, we probably won't be able to get this thing out."

"But sister, you don't need to worry that I will fall into despair because of this."

"I am absolutely certain now that I am on the right track without a doubt."

"I want to defeat the Honkai, I want to protect everyone, I want to defeat the enemy, I want to exact revenge, I want to accomplish all of this without any sacrifice..."

"These ideas may be naive, but I don't think there's anything wrong with them!"

At this moment, Lin Yu could sense that although he had not yet figured out how to use the Quantum Entanglement ability, the other Dominance Herrscher had all activated this ability on him at the same time.

At this moment, Lin Yu could feel countless negative emotions being transmitted into his mind through Quantum Entanglement, attempting to plunge him into despair.

Ha, I can feel it, everyone's resentment, unwillingness, and despair...

Choosing to wallow in self-pity because of resentment, unwillingness, and despair is actually a very normal behavior.

Everyone is a fighter against the Honkai, but in the face of the Herrscher Core, even the strongest will may not be able to withstand the almost cheating guidance and seduction.

This wasn't anyone's fault, but things have come to this point...

—I don't have time to play with you anymore, Core of Domination!

At this moment, Lin Yu was trying his best to control his negative emotions while simultaneously activating another force.

The Swaying Scales are one of the 'Fragment of Taiji' corresponding to the worldview, and the Zodiac Jewel that govern 'judgment'.

The will that this jewel seeks is a will that cannot be broken even in hesitation.

In other words, to become Jewel Wielder, since one needs a will that cannot be broken even in hesitation, the prerequisite is that the person who possesses the pearl must have hesitation in their heart.

Lin Yu wasn't without his doubts.

And he has no shortage of an unbreakable will.

At this moment, facing a torrential downpour of negative emotions, Lin Yu, who possessed the [Swaying Scales], did not feel utterly hopeless.

As the Zodiac Jewel who govern 'judgment', after awakening to the second stage, they can spread their powerful willpower of seeing through the essence to others and guide them onto the right path.

And now, Lin Yu's judgment is telling him...

—What a load of rubbish, what a load of rubbish.

Our enemy is the Honkai, and falling into the Honkai camp will only render the efforts of Schicksal predecessors futile and bring shame upon their struggles.

At this moment, the Quantum Entanglement ability that was originally used to catalyze Lin Yu's despair has instead become the best tool for Lin Yu to spread his correct judgment.

Otto betrayed Schicksal, so I will deal with this traitor.

Honkai is still causing trouble, so let's take care of Honkai.

The bishop's betrayal is not a reason for us to give up. Only by clearly identifying who our enemy is can we continue to fight correctly.

Listen up, everyone! Otto has betrayed Schicksal, so now, I, Lin Yu, will lead you forward.

I swear on the spirits of my parents in heaven...

—I, Lin Yu, will lead humanity to victory against the Honkai!

With Lin Yu's unwavering belief, the Balance Pearl within Lin Yu's body suddenly erupted with a Dimensional Force fluctuation far exceeding that of before.

At this moment, Lin Yu could sense that the Balance Pearl was only one step away from reaching the true third stage.

Meanwhile, the judgment he transmitted through Quantum Entanglement was genuinely guiding the already desperate crowd to regain their sense of self.

Inside the Schicksal Base, the previously frenzied elites finally realized just how extreme their actions had been.

As this judgment continued to spread, even reaching the non- Herrscher personnel within Schicksal Headquarters, the previously chaotic Schicksal Headquarters gradually returned to calm.

At this moment, Rita finally breathed a sigh of relief after putting down the scythe.

She didn't know how Lin Yu had managed to do it, but for the older sister, the fact that her brother could swallow the core unharmed meant...

Does it even matter how he managed to do it?

After consuming a large amount of Dimensional Force to spread his abilities, Lin Yu immediately spoke to Theresa and Rita beside him.

"Patriarch, at least all the Dominance Herrscher within the organization have been brought back by me."

"I'm leaving things at headquarters in your care from now on."

"Okay, Lin Yu, you can go without worry."

At that moment, Theresa, whose expression was complex, suddenly became incredibly determined.

"I will be here as the Archbishop of Schicksal, performing the duties of an archbishop."

"In contrast..."

"—Whether you succeed or fail, you must come back safely."

Hearing Theresa's worried words, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

Then, he looked at Rita on the other side.

Before he could even speak, Rita had already pulled him into her arms.

"A'yu, you must come back alive."

"If something happens to you..."

"—Sister, I will never forgive you in this lifetime."

At this moment, Lin Yu felt the warmth of his sworn sister's embrace, gently hugged her body, and whispered in Rita's ear.

"Okay, I understand, sister."

"Just wait at Schicksal, it'll be fine today..."

"I will definitely return with victory."

Chapter 295. The Dead 'Resurrected'

In the following time, Lin Yu immediately found Dr. Mags.

Since that incident, the old man has not made any further moves. Instead, he has been persuaded by Lin Yu to devote all his time to the research project on HSN Serum.

It is precisely because of this that Dr. Mags devoted all his energy to the HSN Serum, was unable to create the God-Slaying Spear due to the lack of Holy Blood, but within his capabilities, he developed different versions of the HSN Serum.

After all, when his brain wasn't cramping, he could be considered a genius recognized by Otto. After his brain stopped cramping, Maki herself would definitely be able to see that the initial version of the HSN Serum had too much of a lasting effect on the Valkyrie.

Kiana is nominally B-Class but whose strength is equivalent to A-Class, would be unable to move after being injected with the serum. If an ordinary Valkyrie were injected with the original HSN Serum, the problem would be much more serious.

During this period, he developed a new type of lightweight HSN Serum.

The first person to use this serum was Murata Himeko, and after using the serum, Murata Himeko proved that Dr. Mags's ideas were not flawed at all.

By balancing the two key aspects of 'extending the Valkyrie's lifespan' and 'weakening Honkai Energy erosion', the new version of the lightweight HSN Serum is sufficient to significantly increase the user's Honkai Energy resistance while ensuring that the user still has a certain level of combat power.

Dr. Mags, upon seeing Lin Yu enter her laboratory, breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, now...

"Lin Yu, can you explain what's going on?"

As Lin Yu arrived, several Schicksal members suddenly rushed into Dr. Mags's research room, shouting at Dr. Mags, "Doctor, give me an injection!"

To be honest, it's understandable that the old man would panic when he saw his colleagues suddenly acting so anxiously and uttering such nonsensical words.

"This..."

Looking at his colleagues, Lin Yu, who had already used the Quantum Entanglement ability, knew that they were all Herrscher of Dominion.

It was only because of the judgment conveyed by the Swaying Scales that they made the right choice. They already knew very well that if they were to fall into depravity, they would only become the henchmen of the true enemy of everyone, the Honkai.

However, being able to make the right judgment does not mean that one can be completely rational.

Humans are emotional beings. Even Lin Yu, the holder of the precious "Swaying Scales," cannot be completely rational even in a state of perfect Mirror Mind.

For these Schicksal members who have been betrayed by Otto, know they have gone astray, yet cannot suppress their negative emotions, the most correct path for them is, of course,...

—First, make yourself incapable of fighting.

"Well... I can only say that I would like to trouble Dr. Mags to use the HSN Serum to help everyone suppress the invasion from the Honkai."

Looking at his colleagues, Lin Yu exhaled a deep breath and then addressed the group that had arrived.

"Everyone, please be patient for now."

"In the past, after other colleagues lost consciousness, their cores immediately disappeared."

"After the Core of Domination disappears from your bodies, it will attach itself to other people and continue to guide them to become Apostles of Honkai."

"So now, everyone must concentrate on fighting against the Honkai's erosion."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

One of the Valkyrie, dressed in a light veil, snatched the serum from Dr. Mags and stuck it into her own arm.

"Nobody really knows how long we can hold out here."

"After you implanted the core, you should have realized that the damned dog breed is the core of this incident."

"We will act as a 'cage' to seal the core, and we'll leave the matter of dealing with the culprit to you."

After confirming that there were no problems at the scene, Lin Yu immediately used the Quantum Teleportation System to go to Bronya's room.

However, after Lin Yu entered the room and forcibly broke open the metal door, he did not see Bronya.

In the midst of such turmoil, Bronya, whose intelligence is almost the highest among everyone, would certainly not run out and cause trouble.

Now that she has disappeared from the room...

That's bullshit.

The power to Dominion Theater is just that unreasonable.

Furthermore, after I used my Quantum Entanglement ability to communicate with my colleagues, I discovered that the Dominance Herrscher appeared this time also possessed the characteristic of 'each person having a youth version of the Herrscher ability' from the Previous Era.

In other words, as long as there are enough Dominance Core gathered, the Dominance Herrscher can use a variety of abilities.

Although its power was weakened by many times, it was utterly useless in direct combat.

However, with more capabilities, you'll also have more tactics at your disposal.

Furthermore, Otto is still the 'master' Dominion Theater this time, and putting aside other aspects, his ability to disgust people is definitely top-notch.

Bronya will be taken away... Others don't know, but I know for sure that she is actually one of the 'chosen' people.

In other words...

After arriving at Anna's room using the Quantum Teleportation System, Lin Yu broke down the door again, but unsurprisingly, he didn't see Anna.

Moreover, he could see a cup of warm tea steaming on the table in Anna's room.

It seems, just as I thought, that Anna was also suddenly 'taken away'.

Anna, Bronya, Himeko... and even Chen Tianwu I've never met.

Now, the four of them are definitely being targeted by the Honkai. With Otto's disgusting methods and the ability to manifest the characteristics of the 'dead' in the Dominion Theater, it's too easy to mess with people's mentality.

As for the fact that he exhibited the characteristic of the 'Deathbringer', it was not something Lin Yu made up on a whim.

In the original work, one of the domineering puppets that the main characters dealt with had a name.

The doll named [Dvana Kaslana] is the official name of a doll that appeared on the battlefield.

This Kaslana clan warrior is not actually making her first appearance in Honkai Impact 3rd.

The weapon description of the Ranger Hand Cannon once mentioned a Valkyrie squad called the Dusk Squad and Dusk Squad, which was completely wiped out in a battle against Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

The Ranger Hand Cannon was the weapon that Dvana Kaslana used when she died.

This doll, which appeared at the Dominion Theater many years after its death, led enthusiasts to make a conjecture based on the discovery.

Are some of the puppets that appear in the Dominion Theater based on the 'dead'?
