"Stop talking nonsense, you just want the gem of desire in my body!"
At this time, Wendy pointed the gun directly at her own head and spoke to Gray Snake in a trembling voice.
"Don't, don't underestimate me!"
"Even if my legs are broken, I am still the Valkyrie of destiny!"
"Rather than letting the gem fall into the hands of you bad guys, I would rather let myself... die by my own gun!"
"...Oh, such admirable courage."
At this time, the gray snake looked at the ice that suddenly appeared under everyone's feet and shook his head helplessly.
"It's a pity that I have courage but no efficiency."
"Ms. Wendy, if I were you, I would trade myself as a commodity in exchange for Ms. Rita's life."
"Although you will leave the Oceania branch with me, as long as you are still alive, at least your allies will have a chance to take you back from our World Snake."
At this moment, Wendy, after seeing the unconscious Rita showing an unconcealable pain, had no intention of putting down the gun.
"You-you think I will believe that nonsense?"
"In fact, you already believed it, otherwise you would have shot me by now, right?"
The gray snake walked up to Wendy and spoke to her very 'gently'.
"In fact, you know very well that you have no choice at all now."
"Perhaps you have the courage to sacrifice your own life, but unfortunately - you don't have the determination to sacrifice the lives of your companions as well."
"Without this determination, you will ultimately be just a little girl who has not grown up - am I wrong in what I said?"
Seeing that Wendy was becoming even more shaken, Gray Snake directly pulled out a special pistol and pointed the gun at Rita.
"Or do you want me to be the bad guy who 'killed Rita Rossweisse'?"
"If you are really so hypocritical, I can help you. Then, I will count down to three, three..."
"enough!"
After seeing Gray Snake put his finger on the trigger, Wendy put down the double guns in her hands with great discomfort and asked Gray Snake.
"Are you really willing to let Rossweisse-senpai go?"
"Of course - you definitely don't believe me as your enemy, but after you listen to my reasons, you will probably believe me."
After realizing that he had successfully fooled the girl in front of him, Gray Snake said helplessly.
"You have a Desire Gem in your body, and this is indeed our target."
"But if we push you too far and you become a Herrscher, Miss Rita will die and our plan will fail."
"With her level of combat power, whether she's dead or alive won't really affect our plan."
"Rather than killing an unnecessary person and increasing the risk of the plan, I would rather leave the battlefield with the target and carry out my next plan."
"...So what are you waiting for? Let's go."
At this moment, Wendy looked at Rita lying on the ground and wanted to say goodbye to the senior who had protected her.
But in the end, she gave up this weak and useless idea.
After looking at the girl in front of him and Rita deeply, Gray Snake discovered that these little girls of Destiny were actually too easy to fool.
He really didn't intend to kill Rita, but if Wendy intended to drag out the time, he would not only not dare to kill Rita, but also not dare to overly stimulate Wendy.
Just like Gray Snake said himself, he is now really afraid that Wendy will suddenly "wake up".
At that time, facing a genuine Herrscher of the Wind, Gray Snake would be helpless with the fighting power he currently possesses...
He felt that even if he was given four or five hundred Herrscher clones, they would still be dead if they faced the real Herrscher.
It really doesn’t matter now whether Rita dies or not.
Anyway, when he takes out the Gem of Desire and welcomes back Lord Kevin, all the chickens and dogs on the side of Tianming will be reduced to ashes under the power of the Lord.
As Wendy completely gave up resistance, Gray Snake's plan at this stage was finally completed with some setbacks.
In the next moment, Gray Snake relied on the unstable quantum teleportation system to barely leave the Oceania branch.
Rita, who fell to the ground, had consumed too much energy in the struggle and could not even maintain her armor, and completely turned back into the extremely weak maid.
...
A few hours later. Destiny Headquarters
At the Tianming headquarters, Yulandel looked at Lin Yu lying on the hospital bed and sighed helplessly.
Lin Yu's injuries were naturally completely healed after Youlandel used the power of the Black Abyss White Flower on him.
But after his injuries were healed, Lin Yu slept for several hours and didn't wake up.
According to Kiana, who was beside Yulandel, Lin Yu was too tired last night and fell asleep in the middle of his conversation with Fu Hua.
Lin Yu's body should be fine now.
If you suddenly fall asleep repeatedly even though there is nothing wrong with your body, it means that your mental state is extremely bad.
When she thought of Lin Yu rushing to these terrible battlefields one after another, Youlandel felt that the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.
According to her recent investigation...
Well, it’s called an investigation, but actually it was just asking Kiana in detail.
According to the results of her questioning of Kiana, Lin Yu encountered these bad things several times, and most of the time when Lin Yu was moving forward, things were not so serious.
When Lin Yu participated in the Changkong City mission, Raiden Mei had not yet been forced into a desperate situation.
When Lin Yu participated in the Jiuyou mission, Chi You showed no signs of awakening.
When Lin Yu participated in the Singapore mission, Yuno had not yet transformed into a Herrscher.
The results of it?
In Changkong City, Cocolia was causing trouble and Lin Yu almost died in Changkong City.
In Shenzhou Jiuyou, the world snake was causing trouble and Lin Yu was almost killed by Chi You.
On the Singapore side, the World Snake continued to make trouble, delaying Lin Yu's progress, resulting in Lin Yu's failure to stop Yuno, and he almost died again.
Well, although Lin Yu does look unharmed this time, how could he be completely unharmed when facing the Herrscher!
Even if Youlandel used the Black Abyss White Flower without investigating Lin Yu's physical condition, she was sure that Lin Yu's body must be full of internal injuries.
After all, these bad things were either done by Cocolia or the World Serpent.
However, the intelligence submitted by Xiora clearly stated that the World Serpent and the anti-entropy radicals under Cocolia were in a cooperative relationship.
This group of dogs now focuses on snakes and rats in the same nest.
Coupled with the news from the Oceania branch an hour ago, Youlan Dell felt that his murderous intent had surged countless times to an unprecedented level.
"Um, Yulandel..."
Looking at Yulandel's terrifying expression, Kiana said in a low voice.
"What are you thinking about that makes you so angry?"
"I?"
After Kiana's reminder, Yulandel realized that she was out of control. She immediately adjusted her expression and said to Kiana in a bad mood.
“It’s all because of this guy!”
"This guy, he didn't listen to a word I said before! Why does it feel like every time we meet, he's more desperate than the last time!"
"Before, he attacked the Herrscher by surprise and used the Key of God to fuse the power of the Herrscher, but this time he didn't run away when he encountered the real Herrscher. He even had a head-on confrontation with the Herrscher of Death..."
"——This idiot, I'm so pissed off that I'm going to die!"
Listening to Yulandel's annoyed speech, Kiana immediately began to nod frantically.
"Yes, yes, yes, this problem of his...Yulandel, do you have a solution?"
Looking at Kiana with a gleam in her eyes, Yulandel wanted to respond to her gaze and give a positive answer for some reason.
But in the end, Yulandel, who could never lie, could only shake her head bitterly, look at the ceiling above her head, and let out a helpless long sigh.
"If there was a way, Rita and I would have used it long ago."
"I also want to ask you, when you are with him day and night, have you come up with some way to solve this problem?"
Listening to the other party's question, Kiana thought for a moment, and suddenly, unconsciously, she made the same move as Yulandel, looking at the ceiling.
"Nothing can be done. There is nothing that can be done."
"The senior usually looks harmless, and even considerate and gentle in some ways, but when it comes to Honkai, he becomes a different person."
At this moment, the two girls who were looking at the ceiling at the same time sighed helplessly again.
"Ugh."
Then, because of this synchronized action, the two people who were looking at each other suddenly burst out laughing.
From the time she could remember until now, Kiana had never felt that there was someone who could maintain such a level of tacit understanding with her.
It was completely different from the special feelings he had for Lin Yu.
This indescribable sense of tacit understanding made Kiana feel that the blonde girl, whom she had only met a few times, kept exuding a feeling of closeness that made her feel close.
"Forget it, that's enough small talk."
Yulandel, who also noticed the strangeness in her heart at this time, did not intend to delve deeper into this feeling.
Although she just smiled, when she thought of Rita who was also in the hospital, Yulandel was full of worries about the future.
Rita, who was guarding the A-rank Valkyrie Wendy in the Oceania branch, was previously defeated by the World Serpents who raided the Oceania branch.
Although her injuries were not particularly serious, Yulandel still used the Black Abyss White Flower to treat her injuries as soon as possible.
But, I don’t know what the reason is.
This time, Rita, who should have woken up immediately, fell into a deep sleep just like Lin Yu beside them.
Moreover, Wendy's abduction meant that the Wind of Desire fell into the hands of the World Serpent.
When she thought of the World Serpent's desire for the Herrscher's Core, Yulandel felt her heart filled with uneasiness.
She is not afraid of challenges from open enemies.
But if someone is doing something secretly, Yulandel cannot guarantee that she can rush to the battlefield and defeat the enemy in the first time.
Moreover, just because she is confident that she can defeat Herrscher-level enemies doesn’t mean that Herrscher-level enemies are all losers.
Even if Lin Yu is included in the list of Herrscher-level combat power, the only six people in the entire human race who have the chance to defeat the Herrscher alone are Otto, Siegfried, Theresa, Yulandel, Lin Yu, and Walter.
This number seems large, but in fact, except for Otto who can switch bodies at any time, the others will be seriously injured even if they defeat the Herrscher.
This time, the World Serpent once again demonstrated the power of their quantum teleportation system. Even Yulandel could figure out how terrible a threat this system posed to Destiny and Anti-Entropy.
Now, as long as Gray Snake has an idea, he can take a team of Herrscher soldiers to attack any base of Destiny or Anti-Entropy at any time.
By then, even if the fighting force of Destiny arrived at the scene as quickly as possible, the people of World Serpent would probably have already completed a blitzkrieg with the power of the Herrscher clone soldiers and left.
As for whether the other party will do this...
Gray Snake is a cyborg who never gets tired.
The soldiers he led were Herrscher clones without self-awareness.
This kind of troops who are not afraid of death, fatigue, can move instantly, and have high combat effectiveness appear on the battlefield...
Damn it, this is really terrible.
I can hold the headquarters, but my colleagues in other branches may be attacked at any time.
If this system is not fixed, the tragedy that happened to Rita will also happen to other colleagues!
"So, what are you doing sitting here with a sad face?"
After waking up, Lin Yu felt the comfort in his body and said to Youlandel in a bad mood.
"Why are you using white flowers again!"
"How dare you say that?"
