Chapter 495

However, Lin Yu is different from Kiana.

Kiana, the chosen one, with the help of her companions, managed to become the Herrscher of Finality without much trouble.

However, in essence, Lin Yu actually stole the backdoor that Kevin used to execute the Stigmata Plan. Just like Kevin in the original work, he stole the power of the Finality and came to the Cocoon of Finality with the power of the Origin Herrscher.

Even if Kevin in the original work is acknowledged by the Cocoon, Kevin is Kevin, and Lin Yu is Lin Yu.

Unlike Kevin, Lin Yu was never the embracer that the Cocoon hoped for.

Both Jian and Lin Yu were well aware of this.

At this moment, the 'Lin Yu' that appeared from the cocoon not only did not show any intention to embrace, but instead showed a look of fear, which was the best proof.

"Haha, that's great."

Lin Yu, feeling the power flowing continuously into his body, stared at the 'himself' before him and revealed a cold smile.

"Why are you laughing."

Well... how should I put it...?

Seeing the unease and anxiety on the other person's face, Lin Yu actually laughed even more heartily.

"The enemy is clearly afraid of me. Shouldn't I be laughing at this moment?"

"But I find it strange. Logically speaking, the Cocoon of Finality shouldn't have feelings, so why is it now...?"

After walking up to 'Lin Yu', Lin Yu's tone suddenly became a few degrees lower.

"I actually saw a little bit of cold sweat on 'The Finality's' neck, a sign of panic?"

"What's wrong."

Faced with the silent 'Lin Yu', Lin Yu waited for a few seconds before suddenly shaking his head helplessly.

"The Finality is a mirror; things should be this way."

"But now, Lin Yu, who appears before me, is behaving so poorly—it's really making me lose my smile."

After gently touching the 'Lin Yu' with his palm and shattering it, Lin Yu stared at the giant object before him, feeling his emotions reach their peak.

"You, who should have been a mirror, are now revealing a 'fear' that shouldn't be showing..."

"It seems my guess was correct."

"The Cocoon of Finality, which should not possess emotions, has given rise to thoughts of fear, and these thoughts, from the past to the present, have undoubtedly pointed to me."

"Because of my appearance as an anomaly, from the day I was about to awaken but was forcibly interrupted, the Cocoon of Finality, sensing the abnormality, went out of control."

"I was wondering before why you would be afraid of a brat that even a Herrscher has to fight in a war of attrition to defeat, but now that I think about it..."

"What you fear is not a vengeful ghost, but a vengeful ghost with a terrifying rate of growth."

In other words...

This giant cracked egg isn't afraid of me, but rather of me, whose power has been nurtured by the system.

That makes sense now.

Although Tong usually likes to talk big but is not a serious person, it is actually a super-dimensional level powerhouse who can easily pull out all sorts of amazing treasures.

It's not surprising at all that the Cocoon of Finality, something that shouldn't have feelings, was 'frightened' into having feelings.

"Actually, your current behavior is really puzzling."

After condensing a second 'Lin Yu', the cocoon spoke into the mouth of 'Lin Yu', speaking to the Lin Yu whose power was constantly increasing.

"The risks of voluntarily inheriting this power are clearly much smaller than the risks you would face if you were to carry out your plan. Why—"

"Why? How could you ask such a nonsensical question?"

With a sneer, Lin Yu stared at the colossal object before him, then gently shook his head before his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"If I have to choose the side with less risk, then I have no choice but to agree with you and embrace you from the bottom of my heart."

"Do you think I—my ass—would choose to sympathize with an enemy who killed my parents?!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! Cocoon of Finality, whatever your original intentions and operating mechanisms may have been, the fact that you harmed my family can never be changed!"

After converting all the Power of Finality into Dimensional Force through his Energy Conversion ability, Lin Yu lightly stepped on the ground and jumped above the Cocoon of Finality, directly enveloping the Cocoon of Finality with all his Dimensional Force.

"Hey, cocoon, are you ready?"

"Now, I'm going to 'hug' you!"

[Ignorance.]

Faced with the dimensional power unleashed by Lin Yu, the Cocoon of Finality was naturally not going to surrender.

[Once you choose this method, you may be turned the tables at any time during your so-called True Fusion.]

Instead of finding a safe way to solve the problem, they chose a path with a very low success rate because of their inner resentment...

You are not the 'kindred spirit' that the Cocoon of Finality seeks.

Your actions will not only put you in a desperate situation, but will also harm those who trust you.

Once the Cocoon of Finality completes its True Fusion, then the future humanity will face will be—

"Ha, I don't want trash like you to be one of my kind."

Lin Yu, who was excessively squeezing the power out of his body, interrupted the other party's threatening words. At this moment, he repaired his body with dimensional power while continuing to steal the power of the Cocoon of Finality. He also used the special skill of Energy Conversion to forcibly transform it into Dimensional Force representing the power of the source.

But that's still not enough.

Just as the Cocoon of Finality said, if Lin Yu only extracts the power of the Finality and then uses it to fight against the Cocoon of Finality, his chances of winning are indeed very low.

Therefore, he had more than one card from the beginning.

"Activate the Phantasm Lantern Barrier!"

Lin Yu unfolded the Phantasm Lantern Barrier and used this barrier, which could rewrite our understanding of the world, to envelop the Cocoon.

Although the Phantasm Lantern Barrier couldn't 'rewrite' anything in the face of the ridiculously strong cocoon, that wasn't the kind of ability Lin Yu wanted.

By using the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to slow down the flow of time and then weakening the strength of the Cocoon of Finality with the Phantasm Lantern Barrier's effect on special abilities/energy, Lin Yu finally used his last ability on his enemy.

Manipulation—this is a skill he has rarely used since he acquired it.

After using this skill, the user can manipulate the surrounding objects with magic, making it easier to control the objects in front of them.

Simply put, once this skill is activated, it will enhance the user's driving skills if the user intends to drive a vehicle.

This time, what Lin Yu intends to manipulate is undoubtedly the Cocoon of Finality has already begun to confront Lin Yu.

As the Dimensional Force gradually entered the interior of the Cocoon of Finality, Lin Yu knew that his first step in the plan had been completed.

For a vengeful spirit, erasing their enemy might only bring a fleeting moment of satisfaction.

However, if he could turn the other party into a tool that he could use at will, and use the other party continuously throughout the eternal time, perhaps this would bring Lin Yu more solace.

"Moreover, Cocoon, you've misjudged one thing—although today's battle was a little risky for me, the final winner will undoubtedly be me."

As if in a self-suggestion, Lin Yu sat cross-legged directly above the Cocoon of Finality, constantly trying to completely dominate the cocoon through True Fusion, while talking to himself.

"Although I am a vengeful ghost, I have no intention of dying here."

"I will win, because I am the strongest, and you..."

" —Cocoon of Finality, you are the challenger."

On the battlefield in the void, after being covered by golden Dimensional Force, the person and the cocoon were covered by a dark red Phantasm Lantern Barrier that gave others an ominous feeling.

The cocoon was constantly stimulating its own power, and with the actions of this behemoth, Lin Yu was also constantly getting stronger.

Feeling his own power growing stronger while the power of the cocoon weakened, Lin Yu finally closed his eyes and spoke to himself once again.

"Oh, there's something important I forgot to mention. Well, now, today is almost over."

"Today is September 23, 2014. Let me say what I should say before the clock strikes midnight on the next day."

"Happy Birthday, Lin Yu."

"Perhaps I've already achieved what I've gained..."

"—This year, I have already received many of the gifts I longed for."

As they acted on instinct, their battleground gradually shifted to the moon.

On that day, after the moon was covered in a golden light...

—It has been a long time since I was able to return to my old self.

Epilogue

The next day's discussion, part one: The Invitation of the Mad Moon.

February 1, 2018

It has been about three and a half years since Lin Yu suddenly disappeared.

In the three and a half years since then, the Honkai phenomenon has quietly and completely disappeared from the world.

Within 24 hours of Lin Yu's disappearance, the anti -Honkai warriors discovered that their most common enemy, the Honkai Beast, seemed to have suddenly lost their lives, completely losing their ability to move on the battlefield.

A week later, the bodies of these Honkai Beast gradually disappeared completely from this world.

Even the Emperor-class Honkai Beast could not escape the calamity.

Furthermore, with no new Honkai events occurring this week, the rank-and-file soldiers, unaware of the truth, gradually developed the idea that "the Honkai has been completely defeated by us."

However, the top leaders of the three major organizations were clearly not so optimistic.

From the day Lin Yu went to the Imaginary Space to meet the Cocoon of Finality, the moon began to change.

Although ordinary people who observe the moon directly from Earth cannot see the changes on the moon, this group of people who are constantly paying attention to the Imaginary Space have discovered that the Cocoon of Finality has somehow left the Imaginary Space and taken root on Earth.

If that's all there is to it, then this matter can be either a big deal or a small deal.

However, the problem is that after the Cocoon of the Cocoon of Finality took root on the moon, it enveloped the entire moon with a special kind of energy.

Good news—this special energy is not Honkai Energy.

Bad news—this power... isn't Honkai Energy.

Judging from the messages left by Lin Yu and the True Fusion characteristics that he informed Kevin and others about in advance, after he went to confront the Cocoon of Finality, he was 99% unlikely to have the energy to spend on other things.

From this perspective, this protective barrier is clearly something created by the Cocoon of Finality.

Furthermore, based on the joint analysis by Vill-V and Mobius, the energy emanating from this outer layer is not Honkai Energy, but it possesses some properties of both Honkai Energy and Dimensional Force. Therefore, the Cocoon of Finality may have already mastered some methods of using Dimensional Force.

The cocoon has actually become stronger, which is not good news for anyone.

From that day on, the Moonlight Throne Brigade has been stationed in the area near the moon, ready to weaken the enemy's power as it did 50,000 years ago, before the Cocoon causes any more problems.

Meanwhile, the three major organizations on Earth have gone all out to produce and improve the Moonlight Throne, attempting to create more Moonlight Throne in preparation for potential powerful enemies in the future.

As for the high-ranking officials of certain countries who, during this period, noticed the disappearance of the Honkai phenomenon and wanted to start causing trouble...

Su didn't have time to care, Fu Hua didn't want to care.

So, to prevent these bastards from stabbing us in the back at a crucial moment, Void Archive, who has the lowest moral standards among the Schicksal members and has absolutely no psychological burden when hypnotizing others, took direct action this time.

Since gaining a body, it has been working hard. Its diligence has earned it the recognition of some people and also granted it access to the Quantum Teleportation System.

During this time, he found his old colleague, Rin, and had her use her powers as the Corrosion Herrscher to eliminate those who were planning to cause trouble. Then, he went directly to their homes and hypnotized them one by one.

The high-ranking officials, hypnotized by the Simulated Feathered Dust Void Archive, naturally did not take any action.

Those who expected the world to descend into chaos, seeing that the world hadn't experienced even greater turmoil after the Honkai ended, could only conclude that 'those old guys were all watching and didn't dare to act rashly.'

As for the girls who had close relationships with Lin Yu, they stopped crying all day long from that day on. Instead, they immediately suppressed their inner unease and sorrow and threw themselves into their work.

After all, in their view, Lin Yu took that extreme action because he wanted to protect the world.

Under these circumstances, they didn't know when Lin Yu would return, but they at least hoped that when Lin Yu did, the world would be a better place.

From that day until now, everyone has been going through this.

Today, Chen Tianwu, who was on duty in the Moonlight Throne, suddenly discovered something unusual.

"Commander Chen! The Moonlight Throne has detected unusual energy near the moon!"
