"Eeya!!!"

Amid the smoke from the explosion.

A figure wreathed in spiraling flames flew out!

Lin Nai's body spun at high speed, fiery flames trailing from his foot as he kicked down at Welt.

Welt clearly hadn't expected that move.

No, what the hell was this?!

He hurriedly activated Star of Eden, creating a diamond-shaped red shield in front of himself!

Bang!

Sizzle—

Lin Nai spun at high speed against the shield. It only held for a few seconds before shattering.

Fortunately, Lin Nai pulled back in time. He merely kicked Welt in the chest, sending him flying.

Lin Nai landed on the ground and immediately activated his super-high-speed movement to chase after him!

He grabbed Welt in front of him and, without giving him time to react, slammed him into the ground!

Welt's head was still spinning when Lin Nai grabbed his arm and threw him over his shoulder again!

As Welt got up, his head was grabbed, and he was thrown again!

Grabbed by the leg, then thrown again!

Lin Nai raised Welt with one hand and threw him again!

Then came a belly-to-belly suplex! A single-leg takedown! A neck-clamping back throw!

And finally!!

He grabbed Welt by both legs, spun him around in a huge arc, and hurled him away!

Welt had been dazed throughout the entire ordeal, completely thrown senseless.

Lin Nai had thrown him a full nine times.

"Alright! That's enough!"

Tesla waved her hand and immediately called a halt.

This wasn't a fight to the death. Neither of them could use their full strength, so there was no need to continue.

Welt had been holding back, and Lin Nai was much the same.

Otherwise, that kid could have charged up and unleashed his ultimate right from the start.

Still, they had managed to calculate a few things.

For example, he had two more skills, along with Lin Nai's ridiculous physical abilities and combat power.

Welt, meanwhile, felt like his entire body was about to fall apart.

He was already getting on in years.

How could he withstand Lin Nai throwing him around like that? Even his clothes had split at the seams...

"Cough, cough, sorry about that, Mr. Welt..."

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

"I didn't expect it either."

Mostly, he hadn't expected so many skills to pop up.

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

They couldn't exactly expect Lin Nai to press the Ultra Disk Blade against Welt's body, could they?

It would have been fine if they had Lin Nai press the Disc Blade against Otto's Soul Steel body.

That guy had plenty of bodies.

Killing one wouldn't be a problem.

Come to think of it, Welt still had quite a few skills he hadn't used, like Simulated Black Hole and Ten Thousand Times Gravity.

Lin Nai also had many skills he 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 create ten Anti-Entropy mechs for testing from the start."

Einstein walked over and said this.

Tesla immediately followed up with a complaint. "Bird's Nest Head, you're the one who told Welt to fight him, okay?!"

"Yes, but I didn't expect both of them to hold back. That makes the calculations even more troublesome."

Einstein sounded somewhat helpless.

Lin Nai spread his hands. "That's why I said mechs would be better."

"Kid! Don't even think about tearing apart my mechs!"

Tesla immediately shouted, "Those are the fruits of Anti-Entropy's labor! Do you have any idea how much it costs to build a single mech?! ******!!"

At the slightest disagreement, Dr. Tesla turned into a telegraph machine. As expected of Anti-Entropy's telegraph machine.

Einstein nodded in agreement. No matter what, they could not let a mech fight Lin Nai.

That beam of his could wipe out ten mechs in one shot.

Forget Tesla—even Einstein would have to make sure Lin Nai and a mech never appeared together.

Mostly because she was afraid the mech would get caught in the crossfire.

Hm?

Lin Nai getting caught in the crossfire?

Why not consider how Lin Nai had just casually deflected an attack Welt launched with Star of Eden?

Einstein now seriously suspected that this kid could tear a Honkai Beast apart with his bare hands.

Lin Nai: Never tried it. Don't know.

Kiana: I'm Already Invincible!

"So, what exactly did you calculate?"

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

Einstein held a cup of coffee and took a light sip. "Not much. Just a little."

"Which 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 was this?

What was all this stuff on the screen?

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

And then...

Lin Nai couldn't exactly say he knew nothing about the data, but he could say he didn't understand a single bit of it.

"We didn't calculate much. For instance, Lin Nai, we have none of your limits for strength or speed."

Seeing Lin Nai's OxO expression, Einstein revealed an imperceptible smile and explained.

Lin Nai roughly understood.

But that was normal. In his fight with Welt, neither of them had used much of their trump cards.

"Although we didn't determine your limits, at least we have a general idea now."

Tesla rubbed her temples. At least their efforts hadn't been entirely wasted.

Sigh.

They had specifically brought Welt back to help test Lin Nai, all to see where Lin Nai's limits lay.

In the end, they hadn't seen them at all, and Welt had even gotten beaten up by Lin Nai.

Still, thanks to Welt getting beaten up, they had calculated Lin Nai's strength.

Welt: ???

After all, they couldn't possibly ask Welt to use the same level of strength he had used against the Second Herrscher.

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

Based on Einstein and Tesla's deductions from the current data.

What they knew was that Lin Nai's combat power was extremely high. At the very least, he would have no problem facing Emperor-type Honkai Beasts.

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

"Mm, I did."

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

As the genuine Herrscher of Reason, Welt could see it at a glance.

It sounded like a question, but he was actually certain.

Welt hesitated for several seconds before asking, "Was that also your power?"

"More or less."

Lin Nai deliberately made himself sound uncertain.

This made it seem as though he knew nothing.

Welt fell into thought. What Lin Nai had used was undoubtedly the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Analysis and construction.

He had constructed a road roller... Was this child very familiar with road rollers?

Lin Nai: Of course I was familiar with it. I'd seen one before I died, so it had been deeply etched into my memory!

As for suspecting Lin Nai of being a Herrscher or a Simulated Herrscher?

No, no one present considered that possibility.

Mainly because there was only one First Herrscher, the Second Herrscher was inside Kiana, and the Third Herrscher had yet to appear.

As for Simulated Herrschers... they probably couldn't reach this level.

"Lin Nai, if you use that power, do you also need understanding?"

Einstein suddenly asked.

Lin Nai nodded. Of course he did, because it was the Herrscher of Reason Core.

So its authority had to be the same.

He needed to understand in order to construct.

But.

Lin Nai quickly sensed that something was wrong.

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

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

Where were his teammates?
