"Yow!"

From the explosion's smoke, a figure wreathed in swirling flames shot out!

Lin Nai spun rapidly, their feet trailing scorching flames as they kicked towards Welt.

Welt clearly hadn't anticipated this move.

Wait, what is this?!

He hastily activated Star of Eden, generating a diamond-shaped red shield in front of him!

Bang!

Sizzle, sizzle—

Lin Nai, spinning at high speed, struck the shield. The shield lasted only a few seconds before shattering.

However, Lin Nai managed to pull back their force in time, delivering just a simple kick to Welt's chest, sending him flying.

Lin Nai landed on the ground and immediately used super-high-speed movement to pursue!

They grabbed Welt in front of them and, without waiting for him to react, slammed him onto the ground!

Welt's head was still reeling when Lin Nai, still dragging his arm, executed a shoulder throw!

Welt got up, his head held, and was slammed down again!

Grabbing his leg, another slam!

Lifting Welt with one hand, another slam!

Then came a hip throw! A single-leg takedown slam! A choke-and-back-drop slam!

Finally!!

Grabbing Welt's legs, they spun him around in a large arc and threw him away!

Throughout the entire ordeal, Welt was dazed, completely stunned by the throws.

Lin Nai slammed him a total of nine times.

"Alright! That's enough!"

Dr. Tesla waved her hand and immediately called a halt.

This wasn't a fight to the death, and neither of them was using their full strength, so there was no longer any need.

Not only was Welt holding back, but Lin Nai was too.

Otherwise, that kid could have charged up a powerful attack from the start.

But fortunately, they had managed to calculate a few things.

For instance, two new skills had appeared, along with Lin Nai's absurd physical condition and combat power.

Welt, on the other hand, felt like his entire body was falling apart.

At his age.

He couldn't possibly withstand Lin Nai's constant slamming. His clothes were already coming apart at the seams...

"Cough, cough, my apologies, Mr. Welt..."

"No, Lin Nai, I'm fine." Welt forced himself to stand, enduring the pain. "I just didn't expect you to be so strong."

"I didn't expect it either."

Mainly, they hadn't expected so many skills to just appear.

But in the end, neither of them had gone all out in this kind of fight.

You couldn't expect Lin Nai to press the Ultra Disk Blade against Welt, could you?

If Lin Nai were to press the Disc Blade against Otto's Soul Steel body, that would be fine.

He had more of that body.

It would be no problem to crush one.

Speaking of which, Welt still had many skills he hadn't used, such as Simulated Black Hole and Ten Thousand Times Gravity.

Lin Nai also had many skills they hadn't used.

If it were a fight to the death, it was hard to say.

"So Einstein's assessment is that it would have been better to have Welt build ten Schicksal mechs for testing from the beginning."

Einstein said as she walked over.

Dr. Tesla followed closely, complaining, "It was you, Bird's Nest Head, who made Welt go up in the first place!"

"Yes, but I didn't expect both of them to hold back so much. Calculating based on this is actually more troublesome."

Einstein said with some helplessness.

Lin Nai spread their hands. "That's why I said it would have been better to use the mechs."

"Brat! Don't you dare dismantle my mechs!"

Tesla immediately shouted, "That's Schicksal's hard work! Do you know how much one mech costs! ******!!"

One disagreement and she turned into a telegraph machine. Dr. Tesla, you truly live up to the name Schicksal's telegraph machine.

Einstein nodded in agreement. No matter what, they couldn't let the mechs fight Lin Nai.

Considering how one beam of light obliterated ten mechs.

Let alone Tesla, even she would avoid a situation where Lin Nai and mechs appeared at the same time.

Mainly out of fear of Lin Nai being caught in the crossfire.

Huh?

Lin Nai being caught in the crossfire?

Have you seen how Lin Nai just bounced back the attack that Welt launched with the Star of Eden?

Now, Einstein seriously suspects this kid can tear Honkai Beasts apart with his bare hands.

Lin Nai: Haven't tried, don't know.

Chapter 37: Kiana: I am already invincible!

"So, what did you all calculate?"

Lin Nai curiously poked his head out, looking at the machines in front of Einstein and Tesla.

Einstein took a sip of her coffee, "Not much, just a little bit."

"How little?"

"See for yourself."

Lin Nai blinked and looked at the long strings of English letters and numbers on the screen.

His brow furrowed tightly.

Lin Nai: (#?Д?)

What is this?

What is all this?

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Then...

Lin Nai couldn't say he was completely clueless about the data above, but he certainly didn't understand any of it.

"The calculations didn't yield much. For example, your strength limit, your speed limit, none of that was determined."

Seeing Lin Nai's blank expression, Einstein revealed a barely perceptible smile and explained.

Lin Nai roughly understood.

But it was normal. When he fought Welt, he barely used any of his trump cards.

"However, even though your limits weren't measured, we at least got a general idea."

Tesla rubbed her temples. At least their efforts weren't entirely in vain.

Sigh.

They even specifically asked Welt to come back and help Lin Nai with the tests, all to see Lin Nai's limits.

In the end, they didn't get to see them, and Welt even got beaten up by Lin Nai.

But thanks to Welt getting beaten up, his strength was calculated.

Welt: ???

After all, you can't expect Welt to unleash the strength he had when fighting the Second Herrscher.

This was a test, not a fight to the death.

Based on the current data, Einstein and Tesla's deductions indicated that Lin Nai's combat power was very strong. At the very least, he would have no problem facing an Emperor-type Honkai Beast.

"But there's one more thing..." Welt's expression turned serious. "Lin Nai, did you construct a steamroller?"

"Mm, yes."

Lin Nai didn't deny it. There was no need to deny this.

As the true Herrscher of Reason, Welt could tell at a glance.

What seemed like a question was actually a statement of certainty.

Welt hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Is that also your power?"

"More or less."

Lin Nai feigned uncertainty.

This was to make it seem like he didn't know anything.

Welt mused thoughtfully; the power Lin Nai was wielding was undoubtedly the Herrscher of Reason's power.

Analysis and construction.

He constructed a steamroller… is this child familiar with steamrollers?

Lin Nai: Of course, I'm familiar with them. I deeply remembered them the last time I saw one before I died!

As for suspecting Lin Nai of being a Herrscher or a pseudo-Herrscher?

No, no one present thought in that direction.

The main reason was that there was only one First Herrscher, the Second Herrscher was inside Kiana, and the Third Herrscher had not yet appeared.

As for pseudo-Herrschers… they probably couldn't achieve this level either.

"Lin Nai, if you use this power, do you also need to comprehend it?"

Einstein suddenly asked.

Lin Nai nodded. Of course, because it was the Herrscher of Reason's core.

So the authority must be the same.

It requires comprehension of construction.

But.

Lin Nai soon felt something was wrong.

Because Tesla and Einstein were staring at him with ill intentions.

This made Lin Nai subconsciously take two steps back. What were Lobster Doctor and Bird's Nest Head Doctor planning?!

Where are my teammates?
