"No, that's not right, now is not the time to talk about these things!"

The thought of her two Mom fighting each other caused Lin Yi's smile to vanish, and she spoke to them with great anxiety.

"You guys need to go help Kiana 'Kiana Mom right now! Mom's in big danger!"

"Kiana..."

Upon hearing the name, Himeko sighed helplessly.

As the Herrscher Candidate actively created by Otto, now that everyone knows many secrets, even a fool can see that Otto cares so much about Kiana because she is absolutely a key element of Otto's core plan.

Now, Otto has taken her into the theater...

Well, it was exactly what I expected.

"Alright, get in the car first."

After watching Lin Yi carry the crippled Stan into the car, Bronya, who had returned to the driver's seat, asked Lin Yi a question.

"Xiao Yi, besides Kiana, have you met anyone else?"

"No!"

Looking at Stan in her arms, Lin Yi suddenly said with great concern.

"But apart from Kiana's Mom, I... can 'smell' the scent of people here who are connected to my Mom."

"No, not Aunt Bianca."

"So... there are other people too."

Although she had a guess about her target, Bronya still chose to follow the direction Lin Yi pointed out.

Kiana is, after all, the core of Otto's plan, but if we think about it from the opposite perspective, then it means that as long as Kiana can be saved, Otto's plan will not be able to continue.

So now, Sister Kiana, let's wait a little longer.

Himeko- sensei and I are here to save you! You have to hold on!!!

Inside the empty theater, Li Sushang, who had somehow arrived there, desperately wanted to remain vigilant, but she discovered...

—It's becoming increasingly difficult for her to continue fighting.

She learned swordsmanship because of her family background, but after many things happened, she also lost something that was very important to her.

After she woke up, everything from her past became a thing of the past.

Besides Otto the Rosharian, she only knew one other person in this world: her Ancestor Chiyuan.

As a result, after failing to see Crimson Heron multiple times, Li Sushang was struck by Lin Yu's Illusion Lantern - Sword God.

After Lin Yu's sword strike, the Phantom Illusion Lantern - Sword God, ended, Li Sushang, knowing that she had aided and abetted evil and might have even inadvertently threatened the safety of the world, could no longer deceive herself.

Otto Apocalypse was undoubtedly a villain, so how could Li Sushang, who assisted this villain, be a good person?

Although her physical age is over five hundred years old, Li Sushang's heart is ultimately just that of a young girl who has lost her parents and master.

A young girl in the throes of first love acts for someone she once cared about, only to be betrayed. For an ordinary girl, this could be a blow so great that she might even give up her life.

Li Sushang wouldn't actually slit her own throat with a weapon, but to tell how good she was, just look at the gloomy expression on her face—that's how bad her mood was right now.

Moreover, because Otto dared not provoke her, the dominator that should have appeared did not appear in front of Li Sushang.

At this moment, Li Sushang could only wander aimlessly around the theater, doing things that she wasn't very good at.

For example—thinking about the meaning of life.

Guided by the Honkai God, the more Li Sushang thought about it, the more she realized that her life was a complete failure.

Without even realizing it, Li Sushang discovered that something seemed to have appeared inside her body.

"Is this... the Herrscher Core I learned about in the illusion?"

Feeling the core emerging within her body, Li Sushang chuckled self-deprecatingly before suddenly pointing the weapon in her hand at herself.

"It's ridiculous. I hoped to be a chivalrous hero, but in the end, I did so much for the Rosharian Entering Demonic State."

"And in the end, the Honkai actually chose someone like me to become its servant?"

"Perhaps it's about time for me to make a decision."

After pressing the long sword against her neck, Li Sushang closed her eyes slightly.

Suicide is undoubtedly an act chosen by cowards.

However, if Li Sushang, who made mistake after mistake due to ignorance, could take the initiative to "deal with" a Herrscher at this time, it might be able to slightly atone for her mistakes.

However, just as Li Sushang was about to use all her strength to strike herself with a sword, she suddenly heard a voice.

Oh, so you were in such a bad mood after being stabbed back then.

This sound is...

—Uncle- Martial Uncle Lin Yu???

No, I thought you were carefree, so I didn't pay attention to you. How come after everyone parted ways yesterday, you're trying to kill yourself today?

[This young girl, with nothing better to do than go fight Honkai Beast, and then commit suicide—that's just plain stupid.]

Hearing familiar voices brought some comfort to the girl.

However, Li Sushang is now very clear that ever since the core appeared in her body, her thoughts have become increasingly negative and extreme.

Guided by these negative and extreme thoughts, Li Sushang currently only wants to commit suicide, but later, she feels that her increasingly extreme self may no longer want to commit suicide, but rather want to kill other people.

Although she made a mistake, it doesn't mean she will choose to give up on herself.

She would definitely choose to hurt herself to solve a problem rather than hurt others.

Okay, okay, these are minor issues now.

If you can't resolve your inner issues, then let me, your Martial Uncle, lend you a hand.

Do you want to be a chivalrous hero?

I want to, but... do I still have the right?

Of course there are.

[You helped Otto without his knowledge, which was definitely wrong, but the problem is, are there even half of the people on our team who are completely clean?]

Never mind, it's not important.

Just remember, making mistakes in the past isn't the problem. There's an old Shenzhou saying, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

You know you were wrong, and at least you haven't caused any major problems yet, so using that repentant mindset to sincerely try to help others—isn't that enough?

The Honkai is accelerating; aside from other places, we in Shenzhou have monsters to kill every day.

[I need to conserve my energy for high-level battles. Do you really think we can rely on the Tai Xu Sword Sect to step up their efforts and deal with the remaining Honkai Beast?]

Hmm... Brother Li and his group must be very strong too.

[Yes, but after the Honkai Acceleration, when Emperor-class Emperor-class Honkai Beast appear, basically only those with Sword God skills like you can properly handle them.]

Will you choose to be a coward who commits suicide, or a Great Hero strives to atone for his sins?

Don't talk about qualifications—what the hell do you need qualifications to do good deeds?!

Although Lin Yu's words were very rude, Li Sushang felt that she not only did not dislike them, but also found them very down-to-earth.

And after Lin Yu's words entered her mind, she realized that there was something wrong with her earlier attempt to commit suicide.

Strange, the logic behind what my Martial Uncle said is very simple, so why can't I understand it myself?

[Because the Honkai Corruption your body, and is directly using the 'Dominance Core,' which most easily leads others into despair, to slowly make you forget what you should be doing.]

Are you feeling a little more awake now?

Thank you very much, Martial Uncle.

[I don't need thanks for your great kindness. Now that you're "awake," you'd better get back to work.]

[In this godforsaken place you're in, there are definitely other people who need help. Find them, and if you encounter any Herrscher Transformation beings, stall them and don't kill them... Okay, try to hold them off as much as possible while ensuring your own safety.]

Reinforcements are on their way! Once your martial Martial Uncle storms in, Martial Uncle 'll take you to beat up that heartless Otto!

Actually, my relationship with the Rosharian isn't like that.

Whether it's that kind of relationship or not doesn't matter; what matters is whether you want to fight Otto.

Do you want to play against Otto?

After the question lingered in Li Sushang's mind for a second, Li Sushang came to an answer.

I want to... kill him!

He has done me a favor, but he is a threat to the world. As the grand-disciple of the Crimson Heron Immortal and a chivalrous knight of the Shenzhou, I must settle things with him!

[Hmm, you're quite imposing, but I know you can't bring yourself to do it.]

[But that's not the point. Anyway, it's not your turn to kill. In short—do it! Now go do what you're supposed to do!]

Yes!

After listening to Lin Yu's advice, Li Sushang realized something.

Having absolutely no idea what Quantum Entanglement was, Li Sushang's mind was filled with thoughts like, "Strange, how can my Martial Uncle speak in my head?"

Of course, she might think about it, but she certainly wouldn't waste any more time on it.

My Martial Uncle is right. Rather than being a coward, I should strive to help others.

It's strange, I actually forgot about such a simple idea because I was so focused on the details.

The Herrscher Core is terrifying.

Wait a minute, so now besides me...

—Could there be others who have also been targeted by the Herrscher Core?

The thought that people were still being harmed by Otto and Honkai made Li Sushang realize that she didn't need to dwell on these trivial matters.

Action is necessary; action must be taken.

Rosharian, you have really done a lot of wrong things.

But it's okay, I've thought it through now.

Although my Martial Uncle said I couldn't bring myself to do it, I knew very well that I could.

So now...

—Otto, I'm here to kill you.

After communicating with Li Sushang using Quantum Entanglement, Lin Yu looked at Kevin, who was frowning, and asked Kevin a question.

"How's Kiana doing?"

"Right now, she is battling her Herrscher Persona."

After saying this, Kevin closed his eyes slightly.

"The good news is that she is awakening very quickly. In just a little while, Su will be able to start detecting the fluctuations emanating from Kaslana's Stigmata, thereby deducing her location and allowing us to storm in directly."

"But there's also bad news. After all, Sirin is two sides of the same coin as her."

"Her enhancements will be reflected in Sirin, so..."

"... So the stronger Kiana becomes, the stronger Sirin becomes too, right?"

After hearing Kevin's words, Lin Yu thought for a moment and then spoke to Kevin.

"After the location is confirmed, I hope you will stay here."

"Alliance Leader Welt is in very poor condition right now, and Otto may choose more extreme measures at any time, and may even abandon the theater to attack this place."

"Although I don't think he's a match for Mr. Su, we have enough fighting power on our side, so it doesn't matter whether you get in or not."

"Rather than having you enter the Dominion Theater with me, I think it's better to have you stay here as insurance."

Upon hearing Lin Yu 'Lin Yu suggestion, Kevin didn't say much, but simply nodded slightly in agreement.

After everyone waited anxiously for about several tens of seconds, Kevin immediately spoke to Sue.
