Lin Yu, in the end he still couldn't take it anymore because he was overworked?!
Perhaps I've never changed since the beginning.
In front of my students, I...
—Perhaps I've always been an incompetent person.
Chapter 310. Lin Yu, finally succumbed to overwork?!
Sixty-three days after Otto's death. Europe
On a battlefield somewhere in Europe, a powerful gravitational wave crushed the last Emperor-class Honkai Beast on the battlefield, and Chen Tianwu, who was in charge of leading the team to deal with this Honkai incident, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Lin Yu succeeded as Archbishop of Schicksal two months ago, the world has undergone tremendous changes.
First, the two major anti- Honkai organizations, [Schicksal] and [Anti-Entropy], put aside all past grievances and began a thorough and in-depth cooperation.
As Herrscher belonging to Schicksal, Chen Tianwu actually spent about two weeks with Anti-Entropy.
Welt Yang, the Anti-Entropy Leader has lost the Herrscher of Reason Core, may not be a qualified Herrscher, but he is definitely a qualified teacher.
In the past two weeks, Chen Tianwu has officially grown from a novice Herrscher could only manipulate Herrscher energy instinctively to...
—A novice Herrscher can at least control the power within her body and resist the Honkai Corruption.
Of course, even a novice Herrscher would be a great help in the current battle.
However, the changes in the world go far beyond the direct alliance between the two organizations.
In the two months since the Honkai event guided by the Herrscher of Dominion was resolved, the frequency of Honkai events breaking out around the world has far exceeded that of the past.
It's safe to say that if things continue like this, even if all the world's top leaders joined forces, it would be impossible to continue concealing the truth about the Honkai phenomenon, which the public was previously unaware of.
Now, according to the report submitted by the intelligence analysis department of the Schicksal Headquarters, the Twelfth Herrscher, the Corrosion Herrscher, has most likely been born.
With the Corrosion Herrscher dealt with, it's only a matter of time before the Herrscher of Finality descends.
If another Herrscher were to descend, then perhaps some people would consider 'whether we should not deal with it so quickly in order to buy time'.
However, according to reports in the Schicksal Database, the Corrosion Herrscher is arguably the Herrscher with the worst compatibility with this civilization that has developed modern technology.
If it were to reveal itself and use its power to corrupt the weapon launch systems of various countries, humanity would face a hopeless future where weapons would fly everywhere.
Although no one knows why the Corrosion Herrscher hasn't made a move yet, no one dares to even consider 'delaying' it.
Whether they are employees Schicksal by the promise of high salaries, vengeful spirits seeking revenge against the Honkai, or warriors fighting to protect the world, none of them want to see humanity suffer heavy casualties from missiles flying everywhere.
Under these circumstances, the electronic warfare personnel from Schicksal and Anti-Entropy had no choice but to work day and night, trying to find traces of the Corrosion Herrscher.
As for Chen Tianwu's hacking skills, they were clearly no match for the two major organizations.
Rather than staying in the base and getting in the way, he'd rather go out and lead a team to hunt Honkai Beast to earn enough merit for himself.
Now that he knows the truth about the world, Chen Tianwu is incredibly grateful that he is a Herrscher.
Compared to those Honkai Energy souls who turn to ashes the moment they're touched by Honkai energy, he at least has enough power to fight.
Moreover, given the current situation, most parts of the world are no longer safe.
He had at least joined Schicksal, and his sister, Chen Tianwen, also received Schicksal's protection because of his status Schicksal high-ranking knight.
However, it's clear to everyone that if Honkai truly possesses consciousness, then it's absolutely desperate right now.
Before the Finality came, the only remaining card of Honkai card that caused Honkai to Honkai all over the world, and even caused a large number of Emperor-class Honkai Beast to appear as if they were free. This was obviously to cover up for the Corrosion Herrscher.
"Lord Chen, this battlefield has been cleared."
Before Chen Tianwu, a Herrscher of Dominion walked up to Chen Tianwu and asked Chen Tianwu with utmost respect.
"Shall we continue with the subsequent tasks?"
"Hmm..."
Looking at his colleague, Chen Tianwu asked with a hint of doubt.
"Has Boss Lin Yu sent any new instructions through Quantum Entanglement?"
"His Excellency the Bishop has been in regular contact with us, but he said that you can continue to carry out your mission as long as you can ensure your mental stability."
"I see."
It seems the boss still hasn't come up with a solution.
Headache...
But my worrying is useless.
According to the available information, the erosion of the Previous Era had a physical form.
However, the data from the Previous Era can only be used as a reference. In fact, starting with the Herrscher of Dominion, the data from the Previous Era and the Herrscher of this era no longer match.
While the Herrscher of Dominion from the Previous Era also possessed the unique abilities of 'a lightweight Herrscher power in a single core' and 'Quantum Entanglement', they did not have the authority to transfer the location of others or seize the power of the Herrscher through the Dominion Theater.
In other words, in the worst-case scenario, the Corrosion Herrscher actually has no physical form at all in our era.
No physical body... If there's no physical body, what's the point of me even trying?
Whether it's my gravitational waves or attacks from others, they have absolutely no effect on the Erosion, which has no physical form and whose hiding place is unknown.
As a result, although we have enough high-level combat power, we can't find any trace of the Corrosion Herrscher, so we can only deal with the Honkai phenomena around the world.
Although I hate to admit it, from this perspective...
—The Honkai has indeed successfully held us all back.
Meanwhile, the Schicksal Headquarters
Inside the Schicksal Headquarters, Lin Yu, who had completed regular communication with other Dominance Herrscher through Quantum Entanglement, slowly opened his eyes while seated.
As a transmigrator who possessed more detailed information than Chen Tianwu, Lin Yu had naturally already thought of everything that Chen Tianwu could think of.
But he hasn't been able to handle Erosion yet, and the reason is clearly because this version of Erosion, like everyone else, has been 'enhanced'.
This enhancement does not refer to an enhancement of ability, but rather to an enhancement of intelligence.
In the original work, the Corrosion Herrscher was born when Mei met the Mei Honkai Consciousness, and at the same time, a backup was attached to Mei and entered the Elysian Realm.
But now that Lin Yu knows this information, he has already had all of his companions, except for the Herrscher of Dominion, connect with the Honkai Consciousness.
Now that he wields the God-Slaying Spear, as long as he is by his companions' side, he is confident that he can pull them back to his side before they completely Entering Demonic State.
Unfortunately, after everyone, including Lin Yu, had established a certain degree of connection with the Honkai Consciousness, Rin, who had already been released from the Stigmata Space by Lin Yu, shook her head helplessly each time, indicating that she did not sense the same aura at all.
In other words, Lin Yu's original strategy guide, unsurprisingly, became ineffective.
The erosion didn't originate in any of them, so naturally it wouldn't be detected by Bell, who possessed the same source of power.
In the two months since he took over Archbishop of Schicksal, Lin Yu has not only maintained regular contact with Welt, but has even managed to contact Kevin through Su.
However, neither Anti-Entropy nor World Serpent discovered any abnormalities in their electronic devices.
"I'm really impressed, this guy is a master at hide-and-seek."
After letting out a soft breath, Lin Yu tapped the armrest of his seat repeatedly, pondering whether to proceed with the plan.
In the past two months, Kevin has invited Lin Yu to the World Serpent headquarters several times.
In the eyes of others, the reason Lin Yu did not go to the World Serpent headquarters was actually because he did not have that level of trust in Kevin.
Even though the two sides cooperated in dealing with Otto, and even though Su and Fu Hua spoke well of Kevin, to some of Lin Yu's companions and lovers, Kevin was ultimately an enemy who 'stabbed Lin Yu and almost killed him'.
But only Lin Yu himself knew that his hatred for Kevin was practically zero.
Although he didn't like the feeling of being pierced through by the Flame-Chaser's Judgment, Lin Yu didn't dislike people like Kevin.
The main reason he didn't go to the World Serpent headquarters was that, knowing what Erosion had done to the Land of the Past in the original story, he felt that if he went to the Elysian Realm without first exposing Erosion, there would definitely be problems.
But now... dragging it out isn't a solution.
During these two months, Lin Yu intermittently used the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, giving him more time in his dreams to explore other ways to use the [Swaying Scales] gem.
Unfortunately, even after Lin Yu managed to awaken Zhu Yu to the next stage through his manipulation of events, he still couldn't get Zhu Yu to fully complete this stage of awakening.
His strength couldn't grow, and the erosion continued to linger. He now felt that if he didn't dig out the erosion sooner, a big problem would inevitably arise.
"There's nothing we can do."
After activating the intelligence screen, Lin Yu contacted someone who was wandering around the base.
A few minutes later, after Ling casually used her corrosive power to temporarily disable the combination lock on the room door, she walked up to Lin Yu without any hesitation.
[Faced with this girl who still harbors hatred in her heart... oh well, at least on the surface she is a girl, you know, to open a girl's heart, you must first open her—]
Okay, if this gets too vulgar, then you should stop now.
[This system hasn't finished speaking, how can you assume what it's going to say!]
Stop practicing boxing. I've seen men boxing, women boxing, androgynous boxing, but I've never seen a systematic boxing style.
If you're really bored and have nothing better to do, why don't you let me see her character introduction template!
Ugh, I just can't do anything with you.
After saying that, the system immediately pulled out Rin's character introduction template.
Name: Ling
[Identity: Corrosion Herrscher from Previous Era.]
Current favorability rating: 49
[Note: The hatred in her heart still exists, and it will not easily dissipate.]
Oh, ring.
Although I can understand her frustration as a victim, I no longer have the energy to comfort her.
Moreover, although I've known her for a while, we haven't spent much time together.
Trying to use the same methods on Kiana and the others to deal with her... that's difficult.
"I said, 'Your Excellency,' the way you're looking at me is very strange."
At this moment, Ling looked at Lin Yu's complicated expression and walked towards Lin Yu with a smile.
"What, you summoned me here alone? Are you planning to have me serve you in bed?"
"... I said, how could you have such an outrageous idea?"
Wow, was this guy always the type to make dirty jokes?
"Oh, is it strange that I have this thought?"
Although Ling still had a smile on her face, her eyes suddenly began to turn cold.
"During this period of time, you had illicit relationships with so many women."
"Should I assume you called me over to have tea and discuss solutions to the Honkai when you're a scumbag who has no shame in having a harem?"
"Otherwise what?"
Faced with Ling's questioning, Lin Yu said irritably.
"Do you think I called you to my office just to sleep with you?"
"Oh, it's not like that after all?"
Hearing Lin Yu's denial, Ling covered her mouth in utter astonishment.
"So, you finally succumbed to overwork?!"
No, can I lash her with my holy whip?
After his body grew, why did his personality become even more effeminate?!
[Slap her! Slap her now! Let her know that before the power of restraint, the corrupting little devil can only be kicked around!]
"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore."
Seeing the annoyance on Lin Yu's face, Ling's expression suddenly vanished completely.
