What Positions Do You Usually Use? (cont.)

"Anyone else planning to go to the Schicksal Headquarters? I'll send you all there at once this time."

"I..."

Griseo glanced at Apponia but still didn't voice her thoughts.

"Then, count me in."

After realizing that Griseo wanted to go to Schicksal Headquarters, Apponia said to Sue.

"Griseo also wants to go, and I'll go see if the precepts on Mr. Lin Yu have worked."

"Hey, Sister Nia, wait for me!"

Seeing that more than one person was planning to run away, Pardofelis gave Kevin an apologetic look.

"Boss Kevin, and... another Boss Kevin."

"It's not that I don't want to give you face, it's just that I feel like I wouldn't be of much use on the battlefield right now, haha."

"I'll go with Sister Nia and the others to see what's going on with Schicksal. If you two have any missions that require my assistance, I absolutely won't refuse in the slightest!"

"I'll pass."

Listening to everyone's plans, Elysian Realm Kevin stared intently at the real Kevin.

"I think you probably need me here too."

"It's alright."

Looking at his other self, Kevin said to the other person.

"Although we come from the same origin, we are no longer the same individuals."

"You don't need to consider my opinion when deciding how you want to act, and in my view..."

"—Perhaps you'd be better off on Lin Yu's side now."

"... Is that really what you think?"

Seeing the incredibly serious look in his other self's eyes, Elysian Realm Kevin didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to join Su's team.

"This time, I will use my own eyes and give it enough time to confirm everything about that man."

Sakura didn't say much at the scene, but everyone knew what she was thinking from her action of standing next to Rin.

In the time that followed, Eden chose to leave with Elysia, while Cosmo, like Chikage, found a Gray Serpent, obtained some coordinates and Quantum Teleportation System, and prepared to head to the battlefield.

After Vill-V Extreme Evil personality temporarily receded, Vill-V, now acting in her true self, chose to go to the Schicksal Headquarters like everyone else.

After all, she was quite curious about how far humanity had advanced technology after obtaining the Void Archive, and whether they had created any new and excellent technologies that would impress her.

As for Hua, he no longer wanted to go to the Schicksal Headquarters.

After all, once she learned about the relationship between Lin Yu and her original self, even if Lin Yu's gaze didn't cross any lines, she didn't want to confront this inexplicable relationship for the time being.

After Su and the others who were preparing to go to Schicksal left, Kevin Su, Elysian Realm Hua remained at the scene.

Although the Su before him was not Su, and the Hua before him was a far cry from his true friend, Kevin still felt a touch of emotion when facing these two Flame-Chasers memory entities.

However, looking at Kevin's Elysian Realm at this moment, although she couldn't see what Kevin was thinking, she had already figured out something based on Mobius's previous guess.

"Kevin, your relationship with Mr. Lin Yu... it can't be that bad, can it?"

"... Why would you think that?"

"Ha, you put it that way?"

Hearing Kevin's words after a pause, Su gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Then it seems that the speculation was true."

"Mr. Lin Yu may really be a good person, but judging from the fact that he beat up almost all of us when he entered Elysian Realm in order to capture the Corrosion Herrscher, he has no intention of holding back when it's time to take action."

"His methods are so radical, and the Stigmata Plan is undoubtedly a radical method for ordinary people. In my opinion, Mobius's speculation may be considered mild."

"Before today—you and Mr. Lin Yu should have already fought each other, right?"

Even if he's just a memory, he's still Su.

He truly is my best friend. Just by hearing some information and looking at my eyes, he made the most reasonable deduction.

"Yes, you're right, these inferences are all true."

"Furthermore, after leaving Elysian Realm today, Lin Yu accepted the challenge I previously invited him to, but this time..."

"—He wants me not to open the back door to steal the Power of Finality and then fight him."

"..."

After hearing Kevin's news, Sue was speechless.

Honestly, he had a very good impression of Lin Yu.

But no matter how good her senses were, what Kevin was saying now really made Su feel...

—Let the constraints and the Asura Kevin fight?

Mr. Lin Yu, you are shameless.

This is clearly aimed at killing Kevin.

Although Kevin has a record of wiping out 30% of the Herrscher of Finality's energy in a single attack in conjunction with the Moonlight Throne, the main force in that battle was the Moonlight Throne.

Even if Kevin fights with all his might using the Chimera Power, his combat strength is definitely not enough against a Herrscher of Constraint is both capable and tactically astute.

"Is this kind of duel really okay?"

"No."

Kevin answered Sue's question with perfect ease.

"Lin Yu is a promising talent, and I believe he understands the significance of this assessment."

"If he can defeat me by relying solely on the power of restraint, then it only proves that he is very strong, but it does not mean that he has a way to [solve the Finality]."

"I think that with his intelligence, he would only make a decision when he is certain of his abilities, and he hopes to prove something to me in this way."

"Prove to me that humanity has no need for the Stigmata Plan."

"... Ha, I hope so."

Seeing the two people discussing, Hua couldn't help but speak up.

"Is this pointless battle really necessary?"

"Of course."

Looking at the still somewhat immature Elysian Realm Hua in front of him, Kevin really felt that Hua in the past was still too young.

If it were the Hua of today, who has witnessed the birth and death of countless lives with time and his own eyes, would he utter such naive words at this moment?

"I don't think Lin Yu will let me down in this battle."

"If he wins, I will entrust the follow-up plans to him."

"And if I win, it means that the Stigmata Plan is the best plan."

Although rationally speaking, the strength of the person executing the plan does not necessarily indicate the plan's reliability, Sue listened to Kevin's speech without saying anything more.

Kevin, who didn't want to carry out the Stigmata Plan but was forced to do so, actually hoped deep down that Lin Yu could deliver a satisfactory result.

He was a warrior carrying the weight of a civilization, yet at this moment, he was actually yearning to become a loser.

Honkai... If it weren't for this, Kevin wouldn't have been driven to such despair and madness.

And even more regrettably...

Am I actually looking forward to Kevin's defeat, just like him?

At this moment, Su gently shook his newly adjusted Soul Steel brain, feeling that he was now being infected by Kevin's madness.

Instead of hoping for victory, we hope our opponents will show us that all our past efforts were in vain...

Seriously.

These thoughts make one feel incredibly weak.

Kevin, what did you see that made you have these thoughts that shouldn't belong to you?

"No, I still find it strange."

Originally unwilling to directly confront Lin Yu and her true self, Fu Hua of the Elysian Realm suddenly headed out of the room to search for Gray Serpent's trail, attempting to obtain access to the so-called 'Quantum Teleportation System' from Gray Serpent.

No matter how much she didn't want to see those two people who made her feel complicated, all she wanted to do now was to get a few questions straight.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would inevitably have some regrets later in life because she couldn't figure out the answers to the questions she wanted to know.

After quickly walking up to a Gray Serpent, Hua spoke to it before it could even Gray Serpent.

"Hand over the Quantum Teleportation System to me, and while you're at it, tell me the coordinates of the Schicksal Headquarters."

"... Okay, I understand, Miss Hua."

After uttering these words with utmost humility, the Gray Serpent immediately granted Hua access to quantum teleportation and revealed the coordinates of the Schicksal Headquarters to him.

Having made up his mind to take action, Hua used the system to teleport without hesitation and arrived at the Schicksal Headquarters without any problems.

However, after she saw who it was, both Hua and the other person were stunned.

Hua, who has spent most of his time protecting the region of Shenzhou since becoming Herrscher, took some time today to visit the Schicksal Headquarters Shenzhou finishing his affairs there.

She didn't come here to slack off; the main reason was that the younger generation in Shenzhou was just too amazing.

After acquiring some technology and Soul Steel from Schicksal, Shenzhou used this time to create even more powerful Honkai Energy weapons and mechanical patrols.

After these things were created, lower-level Honkai Beast could be easily eliminated by the Mechanical Guards.

The number of Honkai Beast that reach the Emperor-class is not large. Sometimes, Fu Hua doesn't even need to take action. Someone from the Tai Xu Sword Sect can directly activate the Sword God within the Tai Xu Sword Qi and kill the Emperor-class Honkai Beast a single sword strike.

As the one who imparts sword energy to others, Fu Hua sometimes feels that there is no shortage of freaks in this world.

For example, the outstanding young generation in the Tai Xu Sword Sect is Li Pu, who can do the feat of "encountering Emperor-class opponent and immediately activating the Sword God, killing the opponent with a single sword strike, and still having the strength to retreat".

Judging from the fact that he has been practicing the Tai Xu Sword Qi for less than four months, his talent in Tai Xu Sword Qi is probably only slightly inferior to that of a prodigy like Lin Yu.

Today, there's no need to worry about the Crimson Heron Immortal of Shenzhou; she never even dreamed of this...

—She finally made it to Schicksal, and she actually gets to see her own cosplay... what the hell?!

[Hey, old fogey, something's not right!!!]

The Herrscher of Reason, whose memory is more comprehensive than Fu Hua's, saw Fu Hua's slightly surprised expression through Fu Hua's eyes and said with great nervousness.

This armor is the same kind we used 50,000 years ago!!!

Who... who is she?!

Calm down, Xiaoshi.

After the initial shock, Fu Hua quickly recognized that the girl in front of her was actually using the same Adjustable Soul Steel Body as Otto.

Considering that the only people who could obtain the Soul Steel Body, besides the allies of Schicksal, were Archbishop Lin Yu, Fu Hua immediately made a general judgment about the origin of the girl in front of her.

[I don't believe a word you say—you stinking apprentice! You haven't contacted us much lately, and now you're trying to pull something this big!!!]

Ah?

Wait a minute, I think you might have misunderstood Lin Yu's thoughts a little bit.

There's no misunderstanding!

[It must be because we're too charming; one of us isn't enough for that stinky apprentice—so he secretly created a new Hua behind our backs!!!]

[Damn it, if I have a physiological need to be met, I can just make a phone call. Why all this fuss? Is she trying to say that I'm not as useful as Soul Steel?!]

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, but..."

At this moment, Hua, who was feeling somewhat displeased, certainly couldn't just start acting recklessly like the Herrscher of Reason.

On the contrary, after sorting out his thoughts, Elysian Realm Hua naturally clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fu Hua.

"It's our first meeting, so self-introductions... I guess that's unnecessary."

"As for my origins, I come from the Elysian Realm —that answer should be enough, right?"

Ah, Elysian Realm?
