Could it be... he likes big ones?

If it were just a mistake by one of the three that resulted in these two troublemakers being thrown in, then that would be one thing.

This is a big problem, but not enough to drive people to despair.

What really troubled Kevin was that if these two people had forcibly broken through the external blockade to come to the Elysian Realm, then they would truly be doomed.

If the two of them really did come in like this, it means that Flame-Chasers, who was guarding the Elysian Realm from the outside, has been defeated by them.

If things really get that bad, then at this point...

Even if we risk everything, against the two Herrscher of Corruption and Restraint...

We can win!

Upon realizing that he had actually begun to waver slightly, Kevin immediately banished the extraneous thoughts from his mind.

If your beliefs are not firm and you are afraid before the battle even begins, how can you expect to win?

Regardless of what these two people are really thinking, they have done things that we cannot tolerate.

Only by defeating them can this Elysian Realm return to peace.

Land of the Past. The Deepest Place

The Deepest Place within, Apponia slowly opened her eyes and let out a sigh.

Apponia, who did not participate in the final battle, chose to completely merge her consciousness with the Elysian Realm in the last moments before human civilization was about to disappear.

Therefore, Apponia here is different from other Flame-Chasers Memories.

The Apponia here and now is undoubtedly the Apponia herself.

The nun opened her eyes and felt that she was seeing a future that made her feel very uneasy.

This fantastical future even made her wonder if she was simply tired from existing for too long, which was why she was experiencing these inappropriate 'hallucinations'.

The key to victory in the Finality actually lies with this invader...

What could possibly have caused me to have such an unrealistic idea?

For Apponia, who can see the future to some extent, the future she can see at this moment is actually likely to be something that will happen in the future.

However, no matter how much Apponia tried to convince herself, she still felt that it was too fantastical for a boy named Lin Yu to solve the Cocoon of Finality by himself.

Even in her dreams, Apponia felt that this dream was simply too outrageous.

However, the 'threads' wrapped around Lin Yu kept telling Apponia that this man was an utterly outrageous being from beginning to end.

Once Apponia realized this, she suddenly felt that the other future she had foreseen wasn't so far-fetched after all.

In another future that Apponia foresaw, she saw her four companions— Kevin, Sue, Chikage, Cosmo— being fished onto a cross by the intruder.

Originally, the future that Apponia glimpsed might not have presented such a clear picture.

But that's precisely why Apponia felt she might not be able to sit there any longer.

After confirming some things, Apponia had actually lowered her guard against Lin Yu.

Although Lin Yu did beat up her friend Elysia, and there is a very high probability that he will beat up her other friends in the future, even now, Apponia, who has been tormented by fate all her life, still chooses to believe in the guidance of fate.

Whether it was to warn her companions against going to their deaths, or to catch a glimpse of the 'chosen one' in her eyes, she had to take action.

However, at the same time, Apponia did not forget that her precepts had brought about extremely serious consequences.

That child must still harbor resentment towards me.

It's really not a good time to upset her again... So the only option is to use my mental power to get Mr. Lin Yu and me to meet.

However, Kevin, Sue, Chikage, and Cosmo are moving too fast right now.

Can I really stop this unnecessary fight before they are defeated by Mr. Lin Yu?

Land of the Past. Entrance

Inside the entrance to the Land of the Past, Rin, whose expression had been perfectly normal, suddenly developed a ferocious look.

Having roughly guessed what was going on, Lin Yu stared at Ling, waiting for her to speak and reveal her thoughts.

As the Corrosion Herrscher, Bell is unable to use her full power to erode Elysian Realm as she did 50,000 years ago for various reasons, but this only slows down the speed at which she erodes Elysian Realm.

For the Corrosion Herrscher, once an object is eroded, she can obtain information about it.

Take Theresa as an example. In the original story, after Bell corrupted Theresa, she saw the resentment that Theresa harbored towards Otto.

And now, the bell, which is eroding the Elysian Realm, has naturally discovered it too...

—The real Apponia, who caused her to be killed by those soldiers, is actually in the Elysian Realm.

Although Apponia is dead, for a psychic Fusion Warrior like her, physical death does not mean the end of life.

At this moment, even knowing that Apponia's true intention was not to kill her, a thought still uncontrollably popped into Rin's mind.

"Hey, Lin Yu."

Having noticed Lin Yu's gaze, Ling suddenly revealed a malicious smile.

"That woman Apponia is completely useless now..."

"Even if you kill her, it shouldn't affect your plans, right, Mr. Vengeful Ghost?"

Chapter 315. Could it be... that he likes big ones?

When Ling specifically referred to herself as 'Mr. Vengeful Ghost,' Lin Yu clearly sensed an incredibly terrifying killing intent emanating from his companion, whose background was so complex.

But faced with such a bell, Lin Yu found it difficult to offer her words of advice.

On the one hand, even though Lin Yu split his personality in two, he is still essentially a vengeful ghost trying to complete his revenge.

To this day, he has failed to avenge himself against the Honkai and has not been able to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

And it was precisely because of this that Lin Yu understood very well...

—Although Ling is now full of murderous intent, she has really restrained her emotions.

Apponia wasn't a bad person; in fact, Lin Yu didn't see her using the Commandments to keep humanity from giving up hope of fighting the Honkai as a bad thing.

But what's the point of saying all this nonsense in front of the victims who lost their lives because of Apponia?

Lin Yu was certain that if he hadn't drawn the Mirror Mind" and "Cold-Faced Hunk" characters, which gave him the ability to forcibly control his emotional fluctuations and facial expressions, he would have already been unable to contain his resentment and would have beaten up all those people who were praising Otto in the organization before Otto revealed his true colors.

This was undoubtedly the worst form of displaced anger and venting, but for Lin Yu, who deeply loathed the Honkai, watching others rave about being the Honkai's number one Honkai in this era was truly disgusting.

Now, after gradually gaining control of the Elysian Realm, Rin has actually gained sufficient control over these memories within the Elysian Realm and Apponia, the 'true self'.

She will eventually have the power of life and death over Apponia, yet under these circumstances, Ling still asks Lin Yu for his opinion.

To be honest, Lin Yu was very touched by Ling's actions.

She still harbored resentment, but at the same time, she truly put aside past grievances and regarded Lin Yu, with whom she had once fought, as a companion whose feelings she had to consider.

So how could Lin Yu possibly say something like "Hey, don't do it" when faced with such a companion?

"... Ha, aren't you going to say anything?"

Looking at the silent Lin Yu, Ling, who had just exuded an astonishing aura, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, clearly much more dejected.

"I thought you would say something boring and hypocritical to persuade me not to kill that woman."

"Actually, I have thought about that, but..."

Looking at Ling, whose mood had inexplicably dipped, Lin Yu spoke very seriously.

"Whatever Apponia's motives were, there is no doubt that she indirectly harmed you and even caused your death."

"You have the right to take revenge on her. If you need it, just ask me to put in a word for you."

"Um, you two..."

Seeing the two of them seriously discussing how to kill their friend, Elysia, who had been sweating profusely, said to them with great helplessness.

"Although it's harsh to say that, but..."

"—Could we wait until you meet with Apponia to discuss these matters?"

"Ha, we'll talk when we meet."

Seeing the troubled look on Elysia's face, Rin immediately revealed a mocking smile.

"Do you want to plead for her, Elysia?"

"... No, that's not the case."

At this moment, Elysia shook her head and spoke softly to Rin.

"I just think that if it were Apponia, she would probably apologize to you after she sees you."

"No matter what you think, she still owes you an apology. Even if you want to do something to her, I hope you can do it after this."

At this moment, Rin was slightly taken aback when she realized that she hadn't heard the words she had guessed from Elysia.

Before Elysia spoke, she thought that this companion of Apponia would try to exonerate the other party.

However, the fact that Rin has this idea only shows that she doesn't understand Elysia.

Elysia, who loves the world, not only loves her friend Apponia, but also her friend Rin, her sister.

Because she loves Apponia and Rin, she is able to easily put herself in their shoes and draw some conclusions.

Apponia did those things with good intentions, but given her personality, she would inevitably feel guilty after realizing that her good intentions had backfired.

As a victim, Rin now has the opportunity to take revenge, and she still asks for her companions' opinions, which shows that there is still room for maneuver.

After analyzing these events, Elysia felt that instead of saying something to comfort Apponia and provoking Rin who wasn't too extreme yet, she should use these almost unbiased words to weaken Rin's hostility towards Apponia.

With more than half of the Elysian Realm now under Rin's control, this is all she can do for her companions.

As for what actions her other companions in the Elysian Realm would probably take, Elysia could roughly guess.

Sue and Apponia, being psychic Fusion Warrior, must already know the outcome of Elysia's attack.

Apponia will operate alone, while Sue will discuss with Kevin and come up with several ways to have the two of them split up and carry out their respective plans.

Su, being Fusion Warrior leans towards non-combat roles, will most likely choose to bring Rin's older sister, Sakura, along, using his excellent eloquence and sincere attitude to try and soften Rin's mind.

If Huang Su's plan fails, Kevin will definitely bring several powerful combat-type Fusion Warrior and launch a direct attack, even though Lin Yu has only activated a portion of the Constraint Barrier to bind Elysia.

As for Mobius, Griseo, and Vill-V, Elysia would prefer them not to come if possible.

After fighting Lin Yu, Elysia was the one who was brutally beaten. However, the Miss Pink Fairy, who realized that she was no match for her opponent, had already begun to gather information about his battle after confirming that she was about to be defeated.

The Herrscher of Constraint before them was clearly far more terrifying than the Herrscher of Constraint of their era.

The combat power of the Herrscher of Constraint in their era was so-so, but because he chose to activate the Constraint Barrier with a radius of one hundred kilometers at all times, others could not get close to his body to complete the attack.

The Herrscher of Constraint of the next era is different from his predecessors.

He didn't activate the Constraint Barrier all the time.

But that doesn't mean he's easy to deal with.

The opponent has too many tricks up their sleeve, and their combat skills are clearly the result of professional training and life-or-death experience.

Even though the two sides hadn't fought for very long, Elysia was certain that if the two generations of Herrscher of Constraint were to fight one-on-one, the latter would be able to easily kill the former.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Elysia was defeated in the blink of an eye, and even if Kevin led the team, he would still face a near-certain death.

At this time, her companions, who weren't particularly skilled in combat, or even knew very little about fighting, arrived...

That would only allow them to hang a few more people on the cross.

"Ah, with eyes that darting around so fast, you must be full of bad ideas."

Noticing Elysia's change in expression, Lin Yu walked up to Elysia and gave her a warm smile.

"So, did Sue call, or did Apponia contact you?"

"Wow, you really know us well."

Faced with Lin Yu's probing, Elysia smiled and said playfully.
