Everything in the illusion is actually being carried out step by step.
So, when I become a Herrscher...what will he do with me?
Are you going to kill me directly like the Herrscher of the past?
Or......
Just as Ling had this thought, a voice suddenly came from outside her door.
"Ling, are you there? I'm your sister's good friend Alicia."
"......Here I am."
Knowing that she had to face this matter, Ling opened the door and spoke to Alicia nervously.
"Hello, Sister Alicia——"
"Call me Sister Alicia."
Although the other party's words were illogical, Ling actually nodded obediently under the other party's unquestionable gaze.
"Yes, Sister Alicia."
"Well, so nice?"
After seeing the nervousness and panic in the girl's eyes, Alicia naturally took her hand, pulled the girl out of the house, and closed the door.
"Everyone already knows about your situation. Don't worry. We have figured out a solution."
"...I am a Herrscher."
After hearing what Alicia said, Ling suddenly shook off Alicia's hand and showed a fierce expression towards her.
"Stay away from me, human! I won't believe you!"
Yes, just like it was back then.
After that woman locked me up, I still died at the hands of those humans.
Human beings are filthy creatures that should not exist in this world - how could I forget this matter just because of something that happened in a fantasy world!
"Oh, I knew it would turn out like this."
Looking at the girl in front of her, Alicia smiled helplessly and threw her into the air. Then, amid the girl's screams, she hugged the girl tightly.
At this moment, Ling sadly remembered something.
The girl named Alicia is not a weak and beautiful girl.
In the past, she was the second strongest warrior of the Fire Moth. Because of Lin Yu's appearance in this illusion, she became the third strongest.
But no matter whether the opponent is the second or third, for Ling, who is still as strong as an ordinary girl at this time, if the opponent wants to use force, she has no way to resist.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"No~"
Looking at the girl in her arms at this time, Alicia smiled and held Ling in her arms. She immediately came to the transportation prepared for her by Fire Moth and said to the male driver in front.
"Mike, the mission target has been brought back."
"Now, should we take this child back to the stage that Lin Yu prepared for her?"
...
Half an hour later. Inside the Fire Moth. A square
In the square, the soldiers and researchers of the Fire Moth were discussing with each other why their superiors suddenly asked them to put down their work and come to the square to hold such a strange meeting.
As for the head members who already knew about the situation, they were looking at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
Although Lin Yu had solved four major collapses in a row in the past, this time...
The awakening of the Herrscher is bound to be accompanied by a major collapse, and in the center of the major collapse, the Herrscher that appears will begin to kill humans.
This was a theorem in the past. Now you tell us that the rule has changed and the Herrscher is even a harmless one of our own?
Is this a bit... too fantastical?
Of course, no one would say everything that is in their mind.
Lin Yu had never cheated anyone in the past. Although everyone didn't understand what he was thinking this time, they would not start to doubt him.
In this strange atmosphere, Lin Yu brought Alicia, Ling, and the pilot Mike who brought the two back to the square.
After walking into the square, Lin Yu said to everyone.
"Okay, until everyone has doubts in their minds, then I will only waste a few minutes of your time."
"In fact, I have been secretly carrying out a plan since the time when the Rulers were suppressed."
"As everyone knows, I am a psychic fusion warrior, so I can use mental suggestion to make some people fall into despair."
"After I subdued a Ruler with the power of a Spiritual Fusion Warrior, I suddenly had an idea."
"Since a Herrscher is a Honkai Apostle who awakens only when a [qualified body] is [in despair], then - if we make a person fall into false despair and then wake her up, can we create a Herrscher who stands on the side of humanity?"
"I know this is inhumane, but unfortunately, now all of humanity is running out of time to defeat Honkai."
"So after that, I started collecting medical examination information of the members of the Fire Moth and their families, and finally found a body that was suitable for becoming a Herrscher."
After saying this, Lin Yu immediately took a step back, letting Ling's trembling body stand in front of him.
"Ling, the core of the twelfth Herrscher is sealed in her body right now."
"Because of the characteristics of the Twelfth Herrscher, once we kill the Twelfth Herrscher, he will evolve into a true complete form and begin to erode all things in the world as the Herrscher of Corrosion."
"But now, we don't have to worry about it - as long as there is a bell sealing the core of the Herrscher of Corrosion, the Herrscher of Corrosion will not cause any harm to humans."
At this moment, Lin Yu placed his hands on Ling's shoulders, glanced at the Fire Moth members around him, and spoke to everyone in an extremely stern voice.
"The reason I asked everyone to come here today is to make everyone realize one thing - Ling is the hero who sealed the Herrscher, not the enemy we should defeat."
"If anyone doesn't understand this and wants to attack Ling, then they are my enemy, Lin Yu!"
At this moment, everyone present, even strong people like Rita, Alicia, and Sakura, felt a terrible sense of oppression descending upon them.
Although this oppressive feeling disappeared without a trace in an instant, they still could not forget the fleeting feeling.
As for Ling herself, who originally thought she was going to die and had even begun to prepare to see if she could activate her power, she is now dumbfounded.
In the past, Lin Yu's attitude towards Ling had always been very bad.
So in Ling's opinion, Lin Yu obviously had no good intentions when he asked Alicia to bring her to the Fire Moth.
However, now, as Ling listened to Lin Yu's speech, she could feel that Lin Yu was absolutely serious about what he said.
Damn it, no, it can't be like this!
This is just an illusion, he is just using this cost-free scam to win me over!
Although she was still emphasizing these things to herself in her heart, Ling now found that her heart was inevitably softening.
But at this time, Lin Yu no longer had his mind on her.
"Okay, let's end the topic about the little hero Ling for now."
"Actually, what I want to talk about today is more than just this."
After removing his hands from Ling's shoulders, Lin Yu adjusted his facial expression and spoke to everyone in a teasing tone.
"Recently, I've been hearing people say things like 'It's because of Lin Yu that we were able to defeat Honkai', 'Without Lin Yu, many people would have died', and 'We can't do without Lin Yu'."
After seeing a little more smile in everyone's eyes, Lin Yu changed the subject and suddenly spoke to everyone in an angry tone.
"To me, that's just - it's all bullshit."
"I, Lin Yu, am indeed a bit better at fighting than you all, and I am a bit more capable, but my strength as a fighter is just this much."
"Everyone, let's get this straight. The reason our Fire Chasing Moth can function is because of me, Lin Yu, right?"
"If Lin Yu isn't there, there will be Rita to take over. If Rita isn't there, there will be Alicia to lead everyone forward."
"The reason why we were able to successfully fight the Honkai was not because of the efforts of one person, but because of everyone's efforts together."
"Without the scientific researchers developing medicines, weapons and equipment in the back, how will our soldiers on the front line fight?"
"Without the warriors on the front lines fighting in various places, we warriors at the headquarters simply cannot fight the Herrscher at our best."
"Without those grassroots workers collecting medicinal herbs and digging for minerals, our logistics would not be guaranteed."
"Without those people in the HR department responsible for managing and recruiting talents, the organization without fresh blood will definitely decline."
"Without the drivers who risked their lives to transport supplies, we might have lost more companions because we didn't have time to resupply."
"If this world can be saved, it is true that I, Lin Yu, have contributed a lot, but I hope everyone can understand clearly..."
"——My friends, you are the real heroes."
To be honest, what Lin Yu said at this time was not recognized by everyone.
But for the members of the Fire Chasing Moth who have been struggling, it was unexpected that they were recognized to this extent by Lin Yu, whom they had always regarded as the light of mankind...
——Who the hell cares about those trivial things!
Being recognized by the person you respect the most is a very cool thing for ordinary people, right?
Just like that, after Lin Yu's speech, the fanatical atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached its peak.
After using both hands to signal everyone to calm down, Lin Yu continued to speak to everyone with a smile.
"Okay, I've given you all the instructions and boasted about how awesome I am. Now you all just need to do what you need to do."
"However, according to my speculation, although the final battle with Honkai may be delayed for a while because Ling has sealed the Herrscher of Corrosion, in the near future, we humans will inevitably have the final battle with Honkai."
"Everyone, let us shout out that sentence with our own faith and determination."
"Humanity--"
"We will definitely defeat Honkai!"
Su, who was outside the illusion, listened to Lin Yu's sincere cry and felt...
Although I know very well that this is an illusion, what on earth is this refreshing feeling?
Fifty thousand years have passed, and even though my body is still the same as it was when I was young, now...
——Have I really grown old in my heart to the point where I feel so envious of this illusion?
Mr. Lin Yu, you have had self-awareness from the beginning, right?
However, with your self-awareness, you not only did not show your dissatisfaction to me, but you accompanied me to continue this boring drama.
Thank you, Mr. Lin Yu. Now I finally understand why I feel so complicated inside.
We, the undead of the past, have all had the thought, "If things had been different back then, we might not have lost."
And now, all the high-level insect leaders have been controlled, Mu Continent has been saved, the control did not make people start to suspect each other, the constraints did not cause tragedy, and Ling was not killed by Abonya's commandments.
Although everyone in the organization is still working very hard, we have achieved what we have always wanted - enough hope to ignite everyone's motivation.
All the tragedies were completely changed under the operation of Mr. Lin Yu.
It is different from the past when people struggled to hold on but could only watch humans step into despair step by step.
This is me...
——No, this may have been an unattainable dream for everyone in the past.
........
Chapter 171. If the king does not move forward, how can his subordinates follow?
In the illusion, time continues to flow.
According to Lin Yu's own speculation, for a period of time after the Twelfth Herrscher appeared, Zhongyan would not immediately show up just because he found Ling was not doing anything.
So during this period of time, he urged the scientific research team to work together to develop an enhanced version of the Moonlight Throne, and prepared the Blank Key to enable the connection between the Blank Key and the Moonlight Throne.
Even after Dr. Bianca developed Prometheus, Lin Yu made it his auxiliary computing AI.
