Chapter 494

"You stinky old man, I'm just a little kid who's not even a year old..."

"What father would abandon his one-year-old daughter to go out and die with the enemy...?"

"Idiot! Big idiot! Super big fool!"

If there were other people here, they might comfort me by saying that my father was doing something great.

But...

But I'm just a child!

I just want to live with my parents, is that so wrong?

Stupid Dad, if you just leave like this and never come back...

—I will never forgive you in this lifetime!!!

Outside Lin Yi's room, Yuno, who had regained some composure, spoke to Kiana beside her.

"Xiao Yi... is really sensible."

"She noticed the unusual expressions on our faces, and with her intelligence, she must have figured out that something was wrong."

"Yes..."

Kiana glanced back at Lin Yi's room and let out a soft sigh.

"She doesn't even dare to cry loudly... This child is really too sensible."

"Yes, who can argue with that..."

Yuno had been watching Kiana intently, suddenly asked Kiana a question out of the blue.

"And you, aren't you going to cry?"

"If I want to cry, now is probably the only time."

"Cry?"

Kiana forced back her tears in response to her companion's words and turned her head away.

"In a situation like this, does crying... really help?"

" From the Xiao Yi and I had our accident, I could sense that my senior's heart had become more anxious than before."

"I thought I was mentally prepared, but now... I never expected this day to come so soon. I'm still a little..."

After gently wiping away the tears that had welled up in her eyes with the back of her hand, Kiana's gaze suddenly became incredibly resolute.

"But crying is definitely not the solution."

"We Herrscher must already know that our senior went to the location of the Cocoon of Finality, so now, everyone must have taken action."

"That idiot—does he really think everyone'll just watch him run wild?!"

"Yuno, let's go! Today we're going to teach that idiot a lesson—his reckless behavior is definitely wrong!"

Seeing Kiana rouse herself and storm off into the area, Yuno didn't immediately follow.

Is it wrong...?

However, if it's a choice made by a senior, then in their view, this answer must be the correct one that must be chosen first.

Sigh, I had planned to complete the final step of my dream after the Finality was over, but now...

I'll continue until I'm sure my senior is alright.

What a troublesome guy! He's so strong, but sometimes he acts like a little brat.

When the two arrived at the gathering place, most of the people present had worried expressions on their faces.

Mei, who had parted ways with Lin Yu, had already activated the Stigmata on her body to its maximum.

Anna, who originally intended to tease Bianca, has now taken up arms and donned armor, ready for battle after losing most of her Herrscher powers.

Seele, who couldn't express her feelings today, had already taken out her scythe.

Bronya, worried about Lin Yu, could only suppress her unease and discuss some data-related issues with Welt.

Fu Hua, who already had a premonition, suppressed the crying and fussing Herrscher Persona within her and prepared to fight the Herrscher of Finality.

Wendy, who had already awakened, looked at the Xuanyuan Sword that Fu Hua had given her with an unfriendly expression, and her emotions were clearly starting to get out of control.

Sensing the somber atmosphere, Li Sushang, quite unusually, chose to remain silent after understanding the mood.

Himeko, who has lost most of her power, is discussing with Siegfried, Cecilia, and Theresa how to handle Schicksal's internal affairs.

After all, because all the Herrscher resonated with Lin Yu and the Finality and had their power temporarily drained, all the Dominance Herrscher in the organization became aware of this incident.

At the most critical juncture, she felt that instead of worrying about a reckless student who was already a concern for many, it would be better to think about how to minimize the panic within the organization.

Even Chen Tianwu, who had the closest relationship with Lin Yu, was clearly anxious because Lin Yu's fate was unknown.

Lin Yu cannot be said to be his savior, but he has certainly shown him kindness and recognition.

With his life actually going fairly well, Chen Tianwu certainly wouldn't forget Lin Yu's kindness to him.

It's understandable that Chen Tianwu would be anxious and worried when his benefactor was in trouble.

As for the World Serpent members who arrived at the scene, they didn't show much surprise on their faces.

As among the first to know the concept of "True Fusion," all the members, including Kevin himself, were well aware of the choice Lin Yu would make.

Of course, to avoid any accidents, Lin Yu shamelessly sneaked over to the World Serpent and silenced everyone.

It's just that the matter of 'modifying the cognition of the Soul Steel Body' is inherently abstract. The Phantasm Lantern Barrier that Lin Yu hastily released could at most shut everyone up, but it couldn't make these memory bodies completely forget their past memories.

"I think everything is ready."

Looking at the crowd, Bianca, who had just finished taking a deep breath, addressed them.

"Lin Yu's sudden disappearance must be related to the Cocoon of Finality."

"In order to support him, I hope that those of you who still have the fighting strength can ride with me on the Moonlight Throne to search for his whereabouts."

"Ah, regarding that, I think there's no need to search for it."

Seeing the anxious girl, Vill-V, whose Extreme Evil personality no longer dared to show itself, suddenly interjected.

"I have a beacon, and this beacon can actually help Lin Yu find the Imaginary Space where the Cocoon of Finality is located."

"Very good!"

Although the moment she said those words, Bianca thought of the phrase, "So it turns out you were helping Lin Yu act so recklessly."

However, knowing that she couldn't take her anger out on others, Bianca decisively swallowed her words that were detrimental to unity.

She felt that this was not Vill-V's fault.

After all, even if Vill-V said nothing, Lin Yu would definitely forcefully obtain the coordinates.

Bianca never doubted the extent of Lin Yu's intelligence network.

She firmly believed that if Lin Yu wanted something, he would definitely obtain the corresponding information before taking action.

"Hmm, as for other plans..."

Looking at the group now wearing the genuine Divine Key, and the [Oath of Judah] that flew over and crashed through several walls, Su thought for a moment and then spoke to the group.

"Even the most complete Moonlight Throne still requires the cooperation of a Herrscher Core to activate its full power."

"It's best not to disrupt the Kevin + Flame-Chaser's Judgment setup, so what about the remaining Divine Key..."

"Etc!"

Bianca, who inherited Lin Yu's Stigmata, took out the genuine Seven Thunders of Retribution that Lin Yu had stored in his space and placed it in front of Su.

"The Black Abyss White Flower in my Mom's hand, the Seven Thunders of Retribution left behind by Lin Yu..."

"And there's Star of Eden, which we repaired with Anti-Entropy."

"Etc."

At this moment, Rin looked at everyone and directly drew a katana from her body.

"Bring the Jizo Mitama with you; this Jizo Mitama contains..."

The bell, which had intended to say it had two cores, suddenly realized that the core from this era had lost its power because of Lin Yu.

Thank you.

After collecting all four Divine Key, Bianca intended to use them to connect to the modified Moonlight Throne and fly directly to the location of the beacon.

But just as she was about to find someone to pilot the Moonlight Throne, she suddenly noticed that Welt's expression had become incredibly subtle.

"This..."

Looking at the image appearing on the light screen, Welt, with a troubled expression, zoomed in on the image and displayed it to everyone.

On the screen, some Shenzhou characters suddenly appeared in the space near the moon.

Don't interfere with me! Whoever interferes and loses is responsible for the loss!

[I'll send a message as soon as I'm in trouble, and then you can come to my rescue in the Moonlight Throne.]

Stop lamenting, stop crying, stop being sad. Just pretend I'm away on a business trip for a few years.

[I will definitely be back—so you guys, get back to work, and get yourselves cleaned up!]

Seeing these simple and straightforward words, Bianca didn't hesitate and went straight into the Moonlight Throne.

"Sigh, I'll take the driver's job then—who else wants to go?"

At Vill-V's call, a group of people rushed straight to the Moonlight Throne.

If it weren't for some people repeatedly stopping them and saying things like "those who are too weak are just going to their deaths" and "why bother showing off when you've lost your powers," probably everyone present, including Chen Tianwu who is afraid of death and loves his sister, would have found a mass-produced Moonlight Throne and jumped to that position together with Su's Thousand Worlds Annihilation.

However, after everyone had completed their preparations, the group that had performed the spatial jump...

—Unsurprisingly, their movement was interrupted by a peculiar force.

"This power..."

Kevin, who had already transformed into his demon form, calmly spoke after sensing the special power he now possessed.

"Let's go back."

"Etc--"

"This is Lin Yu's power. If we stay here, he will only waste his power trying to stop us."

"Don't make things difficult for him. Be prepared to retaliate at any time, but don't have a bunch of people crowding here right now—he definitely doesn't want to see this scene."

"Hateful..."

As the invisible protective shield blocked the Moonlight Throne one by one into a safe zone, Bianca, unusually, let out an extremely angry roar in front of everyone.

"You idiot! What's wrong with letting us help you out?!"

On the battlefield in the void, Lin Yu stared at the Cocoon of Finality before him, his face showing no trace of fear.

Lin Yu, who had sensed the external fluctuations, was at this moment...

I'm actually quite calm inside.

Because in his eyes, no matter what, today he will settle things with the word he valued most in the past.

In the original story, regarding the Cocoon, the forerunners of the Previous Civilization determined that, given the nature of the [Cocoon of Finality], it would never actively choose anyone to become the so-called [Herrscher of Finality].

To avoid the Herrscher being born too randomly, they designed an entity called "Will of Honkai" in the new era.

However, before Kiana became the Herrscher of Finality, Bronya, who had already become the Herrscher of Truth, suggested that the Cocoon of Finality might have already chosen Kiana.

In Lin Yu's view, the former of these two conflicting viewpoints was more reliable.

But now, after stealing a portion of the Power of Finality, Lin Yu has finally understood.

The pioneers did conduct extensive research, but in the end, the cocoon may have exceeded their expectations.

Bronya's prediction might actually be the correct answer, rather than the calculations of the pioneers.

In the original work, Kiana needed the assistance of Mei, Bronya, and the Herrscher of Reason to resist the consciousness within the Herrscher Core, even after some of Herrscher had died, and gradually become the "Finality".
