The Weather Has Grown Cool (cont.)

Otto suddenly said, "Impossible, how could Welt create so many Jizo Mitama?" Judging from his words, the Herrscher of Reason in this era probably created a large number of Jizo Mitama that countered Soul Steel Body.

In other words, if Void Archive were to cause trouble, not only Lin Yu, but any one of the people from this group who came to cause trouble for Otto could easily cripple him by drawing the Jizo Mitama.

Having figured out the key point, Void Archive naturally felt...

—Hey, I feel more relaxed now.

Lin Yu has ways to counter it, so it feels at ease.

Because Lin Yu was confident in countering the Void Archive, the Void Archive judged that Lin Yu would be more at ease 'using' it in this way.

In the time that followed, Lin Yu looked at the Void Archive, which had voluntarily relinquished its library search privileges, and felt that something was amiss.

While he did grant Void Archive a certain degree of freedom, now that he's changed his appearance and taken on the look of an ordinary person, Void Archive has instantly become Lin Yu's number one lackey...

Dude, this change of yours caught me a bit off guard.

You are Divine Key. I only left a little bit of corrosive power to intimidate you. How come you were actually stunned?

"That's roughly how the library catalog works—Lord Lin Yu, is there anything else you need me to handle?"

Looking at the sincere face of Void Archive, Lin Yu only thought for a second before giving up on continuing to think.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Void Archive were created as Divine Key to combat the Honkai.

If the established goal is to 'combat the Honkai,' then as long as it operates under Lin Yu's nose, the Void Archive will not be a potential threat that Lin Yu needs to guard against, but rather a good helper.

There are many reasons why Otto's relationship with the Void Archive deteriorated to such an extent.

On one hand, Otto actually harbored resentment towards the Void Archive.

After all, in Otto's view, if Void Archive had lent Otto its power five hundred years ago, Otto wouldn't have needed to take such extreme actions. He could have simply used the Divine Key to fight his way through and rescued Kallen.

On the other hand, Void Archive did indeed intend to seize Otto's body, so it's only natural that Otto was wary of it.

However, I have other things to take care of right now.

When I first invaded Otto's body, I used the power of invasion and the Quantum Entanglement system to forcibly peek into a part of Otto's memories.

As it turned out, I discovered that this old man had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

We did disassemble the entire Rebirth Program.

It's not wrong of Mr. Su to have figured out the weapon launching system.

But Otto, that old bastard, had a whole host of backup plans buried over the past five hundred years.

Although the following moves are nothing compared to Otto's earlier hand, they still need to be dealt with.

And now...

I wanted to give Otto and his die-hard supporters some dignity.

It's just a pity that some people might already be courting death.

After mentally outlining the initial plan, Lin Yu immediately teleported everyone in the theater to the Ark of Anti-Entropy.

Meanwhile, inside the Ark, Su, though full of confidence in Lin Yu the others, still breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing them emerge.

"That's great. Seeing that Mr. Lin Yu and you are all alright, I can finally feel a little relieved."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Mr. Su. And also..."

Looking at Welt, who had been watching him and the Void Archive, Lin Yu spoke to Welt very seriously.

"Alliance Leader Welt, please don't worry too much."

"Otto Apocalypse is indeed dead at our hands. From now on, we don't need to worry about him causing trouble behind the scenes and hindering our fight against the Honkai."

"I don't doubt Mr. Lin Yu's meaning, it's just..."

After shifting his gaze entirely to the Void Archive, Welt frowned slightly.

"Sir, could you please tell me your name and where you are from?"

"I sense a familiar power emanating from you, and if my guess is correct..."

"Oh, you guessed right, I did beat you up for Otto."

Faced with Welt's gaze, Void Archive shrugged helplessly.

"But I hope everyone will not act rashly—I have completely become Lord Lin Yu's subordinate!"

"Besides, it was Otto who beat you up and tricked you back then. As the Divine Key, I could only have his power used. I really don't think I'm to blame for this!"

Although at least half of everyone present didn't know what this unfamiliar man was talking about.

However, the three pioneers of the Previous Era, including Bronya who now possesses the Herrscher of Reason Core, and the unlucky ones Welt number one) and Siegfried (number two) who were beaten up by Otto with the Divine Key, now understand.

"You are— the Void Archive???"

"Sodayo, that's me—don't pull out your gun!"

Seeing Siegfried point a gun at his head without saying a word, Void Archive immediately raised his hands and said to Siegfried in a very tense manner.

"I'm protected by Lord Lin Yu. If you want to fight, don't bully a mere Divine Key like me. Go fight him!"

"Ah?"

Hearing the incredibly cowardly words of Void Archive, Siegfried, who had been completely enraged today, immediately looked at Lin Yu.

"Brother Lin Yu, this thing... aren't you afraid it might cause trouble?"

"Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of."

At this moment, Lin Yu gently patted Void Archive on the shoulder and then addressed the crowd.

"Mr. Void Archive is Divine Key created in the Previous Era. He was originally our comrade in the fight against the Honkai, but he was kidnapped by Otto."

"Of course, I don't completely trust him yet, but if he's planning something..."

At that moment, a Jizo Mitama suddenly floated out beside Lin Yu.

"You all understand what I mean, right?"

"Understood! Understood!"

At that moment, Void Archive immediately addressed the crowd.

"Please rest assured, everyone. I have truly reformed and turned over a new leaf. Please keep an eye on me, and I will prove everything with my actions!"

At this moment, Fu Hua looked at the Void Archive and felt that something was wrong.

Then, she walked over to Su and asked him in a low voice.

"Su, my memory is a bit confused. Is the Void Archive she created... like this?"

Well, how should I put it?

Looking at the Void Archive who had seized a Soul Steel Body, Su Wei narrowed her eyes and smiled helplessly.

"It might have been even more unruly, but now..."

There's a saying in Shenzhou: "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head." That's exactly what he's going through now.

"Alright."

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Kevin, who felt somewhat out of place, spoke to Lin Yu, the person in charge of the group.

"This collaboration will end here."

"Lin Yu, my previous invitation is still valid. If possible, please come to the World Serpent's headquarters."

"Ah, I'll come over when I have time."

After hearing Lin Yu's acceptance of the invitation, Kevin didn't say anything more and used the Quantum Teleportation System to leave before everyone's eyes.

After seeing Kevin leave, Lin Yu immediately spoke to Su.

"Mr. Su, please connect with my mind using your mental power."

"Before Otto died, I used Quantum Entanglement and corrosive power to seize some of the information in his brain, and these things... I think you are more suitable to handle."

"Ha... Mr. Otto."

At this moment, Su connected with Lin Yu's consciousness using his mental power and saw the information that Lin Yu had voluntarily shown him. Su shook his head with a wry smile.

"He really knows how to stir things up; he even has these strange and unusual backup plans."

"Then please rest assured, I should be able to take care of these minor matters today."

"In other words..."

Looking at Bronya, who was waiting for Lin Yu's instructions, Lin Yu spoke softly to his companion.

"Bronya, you will remain at Anti-Entropy Headquarters for the time being."

"The core you just condensed is the Herrscher of Reason Core from Welt Alliance Leader."

"I believe that Alliance Leader Welt is not someone who would turn against you just because you possess this core, so I hope you will stay here and learn how to use it."

"I understand, Lin Yu... Bishop."

"... No, wait a minute."

Hearing Bronya address him, Lin Yu immediately looked at the others.

At this moment, Lin Yu was somewhat embarrassed to discover that no one present seemed to have any objection to Bronya's nickname.

"What's wrong, Bishop Lin Yu?"

After using this nickname in a very unusual, teasing tone, Fu Hua asked Lin Yu.

Is there anything wrong with this form of address for you right now?

"In my opinion..."

Sensing the various emotions in everyone's eyes, Lin Yu asked them a question.

"Could we consider the clan leader's feelings first?"

Forget it.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Himeko said irritably.

Theresa was never bishop material.

Actually, I'm not either.

"During this time, Xiao Yi and I have been helping Theresa with her work—her abilities are at most those of a teacher and a warrior. Asking her to be the Bishop of Schicksal is simply making things difficult for her."

After saying that, Himeko suddenly walked up to Lin Yu with a grin, grabbed Lin Yu's shoulders, and pushed Lin Yu to the center of the crowd.

"Lin Yu, I know you're a good kid."

Come on, kid? My age in both my past and present lives combined is older than yours!

"So, as an outstanding member of the Apocalypse clan, you should also share the burdens of the clan leader."

Give me a break. An outstanding member? I just took down the ancestor of the Apocalypse clan a few minutes ago.

"Besides, Theresa is Otto's granddaughter after all. Otto has caused such a big problem today, Theresa's prestige has definitely plummeted - no one will accept her as archbishop."

Sigh, that's a big problem, but the problem is...

After glancing around, Lin Yu spoke to Fu Hua expressionlessly.

"Master, how about you let another master become the archbishop?"

"I think she would be interested."

"About this..."

After a moment's thought, Fu Hua relinquished control of her body to the Herrscher of Reason.

After the Herrscher of Reason appeared, he immediately spoke to Lin Yu without any politeness.

"Go away, don't say such things at a time like this."

"How can a master and apprentice compete for a job? I can't bear the shame of that!"

This is nothing but a huge black pot (a metaphor for being scapegoated).

"Hmm, given the atmosphere, what should I say?"

At this moment, Yuno suddenly produced a robe from somewhere, walked to Lin Yu's side, and draped it over his shoulders.

After watching Yuno complete this action with a grin, Lin Yu felt his eyes twitching.
