The Narrator Feels Off in Honkai

Not only that.

The Herrscher of Thunder initially seemed to possess some strategic thinking.

But after Lin Yu devised a battle plan for her, the Herrscher of Thunder suddenly became insecure.

Heh, given the Herrscher of Thunder's personality, she definitely wouldn't have acted like this before.

It was only after clashing with me that the Herrscher of Thunder realized there were humans who could threaten her, and only then did she become more cautious.

But this, in turn, caused her to fall into Lin Yu's trap.

The plan Lin Yu told her was indeed a high-probability strategy, but Lin Yu exploited the fact that 'I broke the Herrscher of Thunder's shield, causing her to become cautious' to make her avoid the correct answer.

Not only that, but I'm finally certain now.

Lin Yu is trying to overwhelm the Herrscher of Thunder with his aura.

Since just now, Lin Yu has been approaching the Herrscher of Thunder step by step, at the slowest pace.

Given Lin Yu's physical condition and reaction speed during our previous fight, his movement speed would definitely be much faster than this.

However, acting at maximum speed isn't always the most effective approach.

He advances on the enemy, step by step.

Then, with the simplest method, he neutralizes the enemy's attacks, widening the cracks in their heart.

Next, if Lin Yu has a finishing move...

No, that punch he used to injure me earlier was undoubtedly his finishing move.

All he needs to do now is to unleash his finishing move the moment the Herrscher of Thunder shows an opening, and the Herrscher of Thunder might truly be defeated by his hands.

Siegfried's analysis is, for the most part, not wrong.

But he and the Herrscher of Thunder share the same fate in one regard: Siegfried doesn't know what Lin Yu's trump card truly is.

Now, in the eyes of the Herrscher of Thunder and Siegfried, Lin Yu has effortlessly neutralized the enemy's attacks and is leisurely closing in on her.

But only Lin Yu knows that he...

is about to explode.

This isn't a metaphor; Lin Yu is literally about to explode.

Ever since he met the Herrscher of Thunder, Lin Yu has been using a combination of Royal Guard and Mirror Mind to block her attacks and store some of her power within his body.

He appears calm and unfazed because, in the Mirror Mind state, Lin Yu can maintain a neutral expression as long as he doesn't encounter situations that excessively go against his will or push him to extreme emotional states.

However, an unchanging expression doesn't mean his body isn't undergoing changes.

The Herrscher of Thunder, having clashed with Siegfried's Flame-Chaser's Judgment ultimate, had expended a portion of her strength, even reaching a state of exhaustion.

But in the end, a Herrscher is still a Herrscher.

Even a weakened, legitimate Herrscher's serious attack can annihilate most beings in this world.

Furthermore, the Herrscher of Thunder's authority includes emitting an electromagnetic pulse that breaks chemical bonds within destructive elements.

If Lin Yu hadn't injected himself with HSN Serum beforehand, significantly increasing his body's resistance to Honkai Energy, and if the power absorbed by the Royal Guard wasn't limited, he would have been gradually destroyed by the Herrscher of Thunder's inherent abilities, even if he could block her attacks.

But now, even though he's managed to alleviate his symptoms with the HSN Serum, Lin Yu knows very well that the HSN Serum can only provide relief a few more times.

If he endures a few more attacks like this, Lin Yu believes the Herrscher of Thunder and Siegfried would likely witness him suddenly drop dead before their eyes, without fully understanding why.

Therefore, Lin Yu can only rely on this plan of projecting an aura of strength to intimidate the Herrscher of Thunder before him.

The probability of success isn't zero.

And since a probability exists, then...!

At this moment, suppressing the restless power within his body, Lin Yu took a large step forward.

"I'm bored, Herrscher."

"I've given you enough chances. If you still can't entertain me, then...!"

Royal Guard, Power Burst!

At this moment, with his power erupting from his legs, Lin Yu leaped directly from the ground and charged towards the Herrscher of Thunder high in the sky.

"You die here!"

"You bastard...!"

Looking at the enemy before her, the Herrscher of Thunder felt a trace of fear towards Lin Yu... in her heart?

And soon, this trace of fear instantly transformed into extreme rage.

Since just now, the Herrscher of Thunder had been suppressed by Lin Yu's aura.

But facing the enemy directly at this moment, the Herrscher of Thunder realized she had been terribly mistaken.

On the battlefield, she was the one with the advantage.

The strong, who should be dominating the enemy, should maintain their composure and show the weak the cruelty of combat.

But she... was actually scared by caution?!

Unforgivable.

The Herrscher of Thunder couldn't forgive Lin Yu for overwhelming her with his aura, and even less could she forgive herself for being so easily intimidated by an enemy.

So at this moment, with a burst of lightning in her eyes, the Herrscher of Thunder became completely serious.

This time, the Herrscher of Thunder didn't slash at the enemy with her katana.

At such close range, before she could swing her katana, the enemy's fist would hit her body first.

So...

"Die here!"

At this moment, the Herrscher of Thunder, unleashing a terrifying aura, used her authority to draw the lightning from the sky and blast it directly at Lin Yu's body.

As the lightning struck Lin Yu's body, Siegfried, who had thought he had this in the bag, suddenly looked incredibly grim.

The instant the lightning hit Lin Yu, Siegfried could see that Lin Yu hadn't attempted to block in time. Instead, he let the lightning strike his body.

Damn it, why didn't he block?!

He could have done it, so why!

"Hah..."

The Herrscher of Thunder, having unleashed her full power, let out a sigh of relief after hitting the enemy.

It was over.

No matter how she looked at it, after being hit by her lightning without blocking, the enemy should have been severely injured.

But soon, both the Herrscher of Thunder and Siegfried suddenly felt—a terrifying power erupting from Lin Yu.

"Just as I calculated."

Ever since he'd jumped using the power accumulated by his Royal Guard, Lin Yu had guessed something.

Normally, a person in mid-air couldn't change their trajectory unless they had special means.

And at such times, airborne individuals who couldn't evade were often the best targets for enemies with ranged attacks.

Lin Yu knew this when he made that move.

This naturally meant that Lin Yu, who had been trying to find a way out of a desperate situation, was already prepared.

The moment he jumped, he had activated the Cosmic Phantom skill.

And when he jumped, and the Herrscher of Thunder struck him with lightning, everyone thought he hadn't blocked. In reality, Lin Yu had successfully blocked and absorbed the power thanks to the properties of Cosmic Phantom.

"Game over, Herrscher. This battle..."

Infusing power into his right fist, Lin Yu's usually indifferent expression finally broke into a sneer.

"I win."

The Herrscher of Thunder, who was extremely close to Lin Yu and had let her guard down, now felt in terror as a terrifying power began to erupt from Lin Yu's right fist.

This, this is impossible!

The destructive power of this blow...!

At such close range, the Herrscher of Thunder not only repaired her electromagnetic shield at the fastest speed but also coated herself with Honkai Energy, forming several layers of highly defensive electromagnetic gauze.

But...

"Galaxy Phantom!"

—In front of Lin Yu's punch, all her defensive measures were completely shattered by Lin Yu's fist in one blow.

Most of the power of the Cosmic Phantom was neutralized by the shield and gauze, but the remaining power was enough to blast the Herrscher of Thunder out of the sky after hitting her.

And so, the Herrscher of Thunder, who was arrogant after awakening, was actually blasted from the sky into the ground by a human she considered incapable of even using Honkai Energy, just one minute after meeting him.

How, how is this possible...

I... I actually... lost to a human!

"Ah, the battle is over."

Looking at the battered Herrscher of Thunder, Lin Yu took out the HSN Serum and injected it into her body without any explanation.

"Good night, Mei. You should get some good sleep."

The Herrscher of Thunder, injected with the serum, immediately began to struggle frantically.

No!

This thing...!

Damn it!

Why is my power being suppressed!

My consciousness...

Lin Yu... I'll remember you...

Next time we meet... I will definitely... definitely...!

No matter what thoughts the Herrscher of Thunder harbored, she could no longer control her body to make any moves.

"Ah, done and dusted."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had injected Raiden Mei with some kind of agent, looked like a god of war in Siegfried's eyes.

He dealt with a Herrscher in less than a minute, and even had a contingency plan to suppress her...

Sigh, why is this kid working for Otto.

No, I should look on the bright side.

It's a good thing he's not working for Cocolia.

Otto at least puts on a bit of a show, but if Cocolia had such a terrifying subordinate, I can't even imagine what outrageous things she would do.

Then, just as Siegfried was contemplating how to convince Lin Yu not to deal with him, he saw something unexpected yet entirely plausible.

Before Siegfried's eyes, Lin Yu, having deactivated Mirror Mind, suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, sitting there and gasping for air.

"Hah... Hah... Hah... Hah..."

[Gasping for air, you realize that Herrschers are no match for you.]

[In less than a minute! You easily defeated the Herrscher of Thunder! You can be sure that even at Schicksal HQ, you are now a formidable warrior.]

The

[Go on, host, after you've rested, march straight to Schicksal and seize his position!]

Ah, enough already.

Although hearing your voice does put me at ease, knowing there are no enemies around.

But you praising me like this...

No, wait, are you being sarcastic?

[Hehehe, guess.]
