"According to the intelligence, he should have been just a destiny agent a month and a half ago!"
"It's only been such a short time, how could he be so strong!"
"Yes, normally it is impossible."
Gray Snake, who had already accepted the reality at this time and completely gave up those decadent and annoying thoughts, spoke calmly to the jackal.
"However, Lin Yu, who showed such strength, is obviously not a normal Honkai warrior."
“Right now, the situation can be roughly divided into two categories.”
"One of them is that he had this strength from the beginning, and Otto concealed his strength for some reason, making him just an agent on the surface."
"Actually, this conjecture makes sense. Lin Yu is Rita Rossweisse's sworn brother, but he was just a low-level agent before he officially came to prominence. This is strange no matter how you look at it."
"And during the third Honkai event, he appeased Mei Raiden in advance, protected Siegfried's daughter, hindered Cocolia's actions, suppressed the Herrscher of Thunder, and saved Theresa..."
"Before, I thought he suppressed the Herrscher of Thunder with the HSN serum because what he did was too outrageous."
"But now it seems that this is a wrong answer - he is the trump card that Otto has been hiding in the dark."
Having said this, Gray Snake's words suddenly paused.
At this moment, after the gray snake stopped speaking, the jackal held his breath, waiting for the gray snake to continue.
"To be honest, what scares me the most is not Lin Yu, but Otto behind Lin Yu."
"He had completely put aside this terrifying and powerful subordinate in order to hide his trump card. He just let him complete the training and work of the agent and used this resume to confuse others..."
"Lin Yu is the first trump card he exposed, but we will never know how many more terrifying cards Otto has in his hand."
"Gray Snake, I think you really think too much."
After hearing the gray snake start to "praise" Otto in this way, the jackal, who had always looked down on Otto, spoke to the gray snake unhappily.
"I admit that I was wrong in the past. He might have some ability, but - is it possible that Otto himself didn't know that Lin Yu was so powerful and could complete so many extremely difficult tasks?"
"Jackal."
At this time, the gray snake turned its head towards the jackal and paused for a few seconds again.
Then he addressed the Jackal.
"From now on, I will not give you command of these missions."
"Hey!"
Listening to the mechanical sound of the gray snake, the jackal felt that he seemed to hear obvious disappointment and helplessness from this mechanical sound.
"No, why do you all think that Otto is so well-planned? Is this reasonable?"
"Let's look at it step by step. First of all, the HSN serum was recently developed by Dr. Maki, a subordinate of Otto. He asked Rita to give this trump card to Lin Yu to suppress the Herrscher."
"Secondly, although Otto mobilized three S-class fighters, Rita, Yulandel, and Theresa, to Changkong City during the third collapse, as for Raiden Mei, we can actually find out after reviewing the situation that Lin Yu has always been in charge."
"With his brain, it's impossible for him not to know who has the Conquest Gem in his body, so from this point of view, the probability that Lin Yu is Otto's trump card is even greater."
"I won't say much about what happened next. Lin Yu is proof that Otto has a trump card. In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find as much as you want."
Looking at the unconvinced jackal, the gray snake suddenly sighed and told the jackal his true feelings.
"Besides, there is actually a reason why I think so."
"I would rather admit that Lin Yu is Otto's hidden trump card than hope that the second possibility I guessed is correct."
"The second possibility?"
"The second possibility is that Otto is indeed the same as you said, and he did not make every possible effort. Lin Yu's achievements have nothing to do with Otto."
"Then this just proves that Lin Yu might really have been a low-level agent, and now - forty days have passed, and he can kill the Pseudo-Hermitor without any injury."
......
Even if it was the Jackal, it would be impossible for her to continue not to understand the current situation after the Gray Snake broke the whole thing down and told her.
The strength between the Pseudo-Herrsers and the Herrsers seems to be far different, but in this world, the Joyce clone is actually considered a very strong high-level combat force.
In the eyes of Gray Snake, the only people who actually have such strength are Otto, Theresa, Fu Hua, and Youlan Dell, the four holders of the Key of God.
Then, the Joyce clone was killed by Lin Yu without any injury.
The difference in combat power between the two sides was certainly not outrageous, but for intelligence analyst Gray Snake, he knew very well that the brain was an integral part of the battle.
As an agent, Lin Yu must have strong adaptability and thinking abilities.
After he gained power, Lin Yu, who combined powerful strength with good thinking and adaptability, was obviously more terrifying than the average strong man.
"Okay, I admit, even if he is really strong - then there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"You don't realize the seriousness of the situation, Jackal."
At this moment, the gray snake spoke to the jackal earnestly.
"My Lord, it took you much longer to grow from a high school student to an outstanding warrior than Lin Yu did."
"Don't show that expression of 'how dare you slander the Lord', Jackal, you should know how loyal I am to the Lord."
After hearing the horrifying secret from the Gray Snake, the shocked Jackal spoke to the Gray Snake in a trembling voice.
"You, you, you don't want to tell me that he might become as strong as the Lord?"
"You're mistaken. That's certainly not what I meant."
"Then I will relax——"
"I mean."
At this moment, the gray snake interrupted the jackal's words with an extremely bitter tone.
“Lord Kevin, you have the stature of Lin Yu—in terms of the speed of becoming stronger, Lin Yu has surpassed Lord Kevin.”
"This is the situation I don't want to face. Do you understand?"
Looking at the Jackal that had crashed, Gray Snake now felt that it was a good thing that he was just a cyborg.
Precisely because he is a cyborg, he has a much stronger ability to withstand pressure than ordinary people.
Now, it seems that the World Snake only lost a few "Gray Snakes" and a few precious potions in this operation, but for the Gray Snake himself, the crisis that the World Snake has to face is far more than that.
Now the lack of combat power among the top leaders of the World Serpent is no longer a big problem.
What they need most is time.
Whether it's Yutu who has no intention of taking action yet, or their plan to rescue Lord Kevin, it will take enough time.
However, now the raven has been caught.
To be honest, even after Gray Snake handed the Seven Thunders of Purification to Raven, he still did not completely trust Raven.
It’s not that he has any problem with Raven. Everyone else on Gray Snake’s side, except Kevin, receives the same treatment.
However, even if Raven himself suddenly changed his temperament and would rather die than surrender than surrender to protect the information about the World Serpent, the crisis that the World Serpent would face would not change at all.
Otto Apokalis has Void Wanzang and can mimic Yu Duchen.
The pioneer Hua himself is the holder of Yuduchen.
In the face of Yu Duchen's power, Raven's originally unreliable loyalty would instantly turn into a huge joke.
If Gray Snake had not told Raven all the information about the World Serpent, the pressure he would face now would be even greater.
However, after the other intelligence was given out, World Snake only lost part of its base.
However, Raven knows that the Key of the Sky is in England!
Moreover, Gray Snake and his men can move other bases and information, but the control of the Key of the Sky is in the hands of Pioneer Su, so they have no way to move the Key of the Sky.
This means that the Thousand Worlds Ichijo will sooner or later become Otto's.
The current situation is just like the World Snake Company asked the errand boy Xiola to go out and get a takeaway of Chiyou Sashimi for the company's CEO Kevin, but the CEO hasn't come back yet, and Xiola was knocked unconscious and taken away, revealing the company's business secrets.
Thinking of his order this time, Gray Snake had no other thoughts except regret.
Lin Yu...damn it!
If it weren’t for him, if it weren’t for him…!
There is no way out. Even if I am angry and regretful now, it is of no use.
At this time, the gray snake sent a communication signal directly to Cocolia's communication channel, and began to wait for this woman who had almost nothing to connect the communication.
After a curtain of light appeared in front of the gray snake and the jackal, they saw, as expected, that Cocolia looked tired.
"You two, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Cocolia, who was busy dealing with some troubles at this time, leaned weakly on the seat.
The strong woman who would never expose her weaknesses was now too exhausted both physically and mentally to bother hiding her inner fatigue.
"Let's skip the accusations. We both don't have time to waste."
"Yeah, I think so too, Cocolia."
At this time, the gray snake seemed to have made up its mind, and spoke to Cocolia in an extremely soft voice.
"The plan went wrong this time, and it's not your fault or mine. But no matter what, we have to face the fact that we have each suffered heavy losses."
"so what?"
Cocolia, who had always needed help from the Gray Snake, suddenly showed a mocking expression.
"Are you here to squeeze out the last bit of my usefulness?"
"Rather, I'm here to give you a chance to live, Ms. Cocolia."
At this time, the gray snake said to Cocolia in front of her the words she expected.
"I have seen the power of the pseudo-hermeneutics you created. They are indeed very useful."
"But I guess you no longer have the funds to continue making these pseudo-hermetic agents, right?"
"I'm here to support you with technology, and now, there's a good deal in front of you. It depends on whether you want to take it."
Listening to the gray snake's persuasive words, Cocolia said sarcastically.
"You just want the Herrscher's genes, don't you? Just tell me the price, Gray Snake."
"If the price is right, I will certainly choose to cooperate with you."
"That's straightforward! We'll provide the money and the people, and you'll be responsible for bringing the genes over. Half of the mass-produced Pseudo-Laws will be at your disposal. Don't try to bargain. This is the limit of what I can offer."
"Deal, three days later—"
"We're all out of time, aren't we?"
After interrupting Cocolia's speech, Gray Snake looked at Cocolia and looked at him deeply. He didn't say anything more, just nodded and hung up the phone.
At this time, the jackal looked at the equally exhausted gray snake with great confusion.
"Didn't you say before that you didn't want to cooperate with her? Now our World Snake still needs funds to complete the Stigma Project. Give the funds to Cocolia..."
"Jackal, remember one thing. Without sufficient power, everything else is empty."
At this time, the gray snake began to contact other gray snakes while speaking to the jackal helplessly.
"If this continues, our World Snake's home and plan will be lost. At this time, all we can do is to increase our own strength to prevent the other party from directly copying our home."
"Now, our course of action is actually just a few simple points."
"Explode the troops, create high-end combat power, and first go and seize the control of Haiyuan City and a gem."
"And after the Lord returns, under the leadership of the Lord who can suppress the world, we, the World Snakes, will not have to worry about funding issues in the future."
"Only if we have a strong enough military force can we ensure that these plans can be carried out."
"In order to buy time, sacrificing some funds is inevitable."
"Next, we need to transfer the data to a base where there is no risk of exposure. Then, when we have enough pseudo-heresy people..."
"——Let's go directly to the Oceania branch of Tenmi, bring the Valkyrie named Wendy back to the World Serpent headquarters, and find a way to remove the Desire Gem from her body!"
......
Destiny Headquarters. Medical Room
In the medical room, Fu Hua, who had completed the treatment and physical examination, looked at Otto beside her and spoke to him in a bad mood.
"May I ask you what I may do for you, Otto 'Bishop'?"
