Although the frequency of the Honkai outbreaks has become increasingly frequent during this period, after Anti-Entropy has produced the mass-produced Moonlight Throne, some small and medium-sized Honkai outbreaks have been suppressed by the Quantum Transmission System + the mass-produced Moonlight Throne and are no longer able to cause any waves.
For the grassroots members of the three major organizations, things are undoubtedly moving in the best direction.
The Herrschers have provided all their assistance, and Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent, has determined that there is no need to launch the Stigmata Plan. Now the collapse phenomenon can be quickly suppressed by the Anti-Entropy members using the remote control of the Moonlight Throne. In this case, this group of grassroots members will naturally no longer have any unnecessary worries.
But for some people who know the truth, the situation is not so good now.
For the Jackal, who had been working hard to prepare for the Stigmata Project, even if Kevin was the lord she respected, the decision he made at this time could not convince her.
For this scientist who did not know the specific situation, Kevin's sudden termination of the Stigmata Project undoubtedly caused humanity to lose its last means of victory.
It is a pity that Kevin, one of the top leaders of World Snake, has decided to implement the Stigmata Plan, and the few Yingjie memories who remain in World Snake have no intention of continuing with the plan.
Even though she knew that Gray Snake was as dissatisfied as she was, now that the big guys had chosen to deny the Stigmata Plan, these two so-called top leaders had no means to continue implementing the plan.
As for the top leaders of Anti-Entropy and Tianming, they are actually much busier than imagined.
Now, Anti-Entropy has announced that its ultimate plan is to counterattack the Cocoon of the End with a sufficient number of Moonlight Thrones.
Because of this, although the mass-produced Moonlight Throne project has shown initial success, there is still a slight gap in quantity and quality from the final Anti-Entropy plan.
As for how many people believed this...
Anyway, now that Bianca has been reunited with her family, she doesn't believe it.
She didn't understand Anti-Entropy's plan, but her intuition told her that this matter would not end so easily.
It is true that the predecessors in the previous era were unable to produce a sufficient number of Moonlight Thrones due to various reasons. Therefore, after finally solving 30% of the energy of the Herrscher of the End, they failed to keep up with the output and ultimately lost the battle.
But the problem is, if piling up materials to build the Moonlight Throne can solve the problem, why does Lin Yu have to pretend to be at ease and just fish in peace?
After visiting the World Snake Headquarters, Lin Yu seemed like a completely different person, and he looked completely relaxed.
Although he had not yet gone to the extent of seeking pleasure in public, judging from the fact that he had stopped being a curler in private, in the eyes of some people represented by Chen Tianwu, this group of people who did not know him particularly well felt that Lin Yu was now completely "at ease".
If we only look at the surface phenomena, Bianca might think like Chen Tianwu and others that Lin Yu is relieved, so the anti-entropy plan must be fine.
But the problem is that when she was not on a mission, she lived with Lin Yu for two whole years.
No matter how little Bianca paid attention to details, the girl who had been deceived by Lin Yu once with the excuse of "I have given up revenge" clearly discovered that Lin Yu's state this time was similar to his state after he lied in the past.
He pretended to be calm and composed, but secretly he still didn't give up his original idea.
If the Moonlight Throne was useful, he would definitely not have this attitude now, so...
"So, tomorrow is Yu's birthday, and I think you should seize the opportunity, Lady Bianca."
Bianca, who was tricked by Rita into the clothing store for some reason, came to her senses only after hearing Rita's voice.
"Seize the opportunity?"
Listening to Bianca's slightly confused words, Rita said something barely audible in Bianca's ear.
Bianca, who heard this, was struck by lightning. She suddenly took a few steps back and said to Rita in shock.
"You, you, you—you two actually?"
"You are——"
"We are family."
After saying this and interrupting Bianca, Rita smiled and said to Bianca.
"If a relative has mental problems, then I think it's not a strange thing to use this method to help them resolve them."
"But, this..."
"Alas, in the final analysis, it is because you, Lady Bianca, have been procrastinating too much."
Looking at Bianca who was obviously still a little shocked at this time, Rita suddenly said helplessly.
"Originally in my plan, I wanted to bring you and Ayu together..."
"So and so and so and so and so want to be with him——"
"look into my eyes."
Under Rita's calm gaze, Bianca, who was already panicking, now had no way to retreat and let out a deep breath.
Then, the girl, who was forced to see her own inner self, said helplessly.
"Okay, I admit, I do like that guy. Is that a problem?"
"Of course it's no problem."
Looking at her close friend who was facing her inner self calmly, Rita said to Bianca with a smile.
"Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and so do you, Lady Bianca."
"Ayu has obviously let go. If you don't work hard to fight for your future at this time, does that mean..."
"—Do you want Xiaoyi to call you 'Aunt Bianca' for the rest of her life?"
Although Bianca felt that there should be no problem with Lin Yi's address to her, at this moment, she was extremely surprised to find that a trace of... restlessness emerged in her heart?
Looking at the girl's expression at this moment, Rita knew that her words had entered the girl's heart.
"Well, tomorrow is Ayu's birthday, and everyone will celebrate for him."
"But, in the end, I will try my best to help get the others out of the way, so..."
"——Lady Bianca, you can prepare a gift to make this an unforgettable night for him."
"...Yeah, I understand."
This, this feeling is...!
Bianca, who suddenly felt a little unwell, spoke to Rita in a strong and calm manner.
"Well, Rita, please help me pick out some evening gowns that are suitable for me."
"Okay~"
Seeing Rita walking towards another area with her back to her, Bianca turned around and showed a painful expression.
After Lin Yi and Kiana had their accidents, Bianca had actually secretly felt that there was something wrong with her body.
However, unlike Lin Yi and Kiana, Bianca, who was stronger than the other two, did not fall into the state of being unable to move and the rapid increase of Honkai energy intensity.
But during this period of time, she gradually understood where this abnormal restlessness came from.
After secretly looking up a lot of information, most of which she couldn't understand, Bianca finally understood what was happening to her.
According to the information transmitted to Destiny/Anti-Entropy by seniors such as Kevin and Su, the Cocoon of the End is an existence that will not choose anyone as the Ruler of the End.
But not making a choice does not mean that the Cocoon of the End will do something unexpected at certain points in time.
He will not decide who will be the Ruler of the End, but that does not mean He will not give admission tickets to those who have the qualifications.
Bianca, who has felt this abnormal feeling many times now, is almost certain based on the information she has obtained.
Perhaps, like Kiana and Lin Yi, he is qualified to become the Herrscher of the End.
Becoming a Herrscher... Until that day, Bianca had never thought that she would have such an idea one day.
But now, after realizing that there was an obvious problem with the plan that Lin Yu announced to the public, she felt that instead of letting Lin Yi or Kiana endure the pain that they shouldn't have to endure, it would be better for her to become the Herrscher of the End.
After becoming a Herrscher, I might not be able to maintain my self-awareness any more.
Moreover, the power of the End is far greater than that of other Herrsers. Even Lin Yu, who has a perfect record against Herrsers, will not be able to suppress the End as he did before.
However, if she were the one who became the End, Bianca would at least have the confidence that while becoming the Herrscher, she could fight against Honkai and thus weaken some of the power from the End.
As long as the power of the End can be weakened a little, then humans, who are now more prepared than they were 50,000 years ago, will have a greater chance of defeating the End.
Now, that day is coming faster and faster.
Only when I have no regrets can I fight the end with all my strength.
At least until that day comes...
Maybe I should really do as Rita said and speak my mind out loud.
........
The next day. Destiny Headquarters
On Lin Yu's birthday, most of the affairs within the Tianming headquarters certainly did not stop because of this incident.
Lin Yu hadn't planned to make a big fuss, and in order not to affect everyone's work, only a small number of people with whom he had a particularly good relationship knew about his birthday.
Even seniors and elders like Walter, Su, and Siegfried tacitly chose to tell Lin Yu that they really could not attend the birthday party. They chose to send birthday wishes while expressing their apologies.
Of course, Lin Yu knew very well that although they were very busy, the real reason why they didn't come was mainly because...
——At today's banquet, apart from Lin Yu, the only remaining visitors were the girls who were familiar with him.
Perhaps in order not to disturb the communication between the young people, or perhaps in order to leave enough space for Lin Yu and the girls, these people did not arrive at the scene.
Of course, in terms of age, there were still two "surprises" at the scene.
For example, Fu Hua, who had already had in-depth exchanges with Lin Yu, still chose to attend this banquet.
Le Tu Ailixia, who has not known Lin Yu for a long time but has a good relationship with Lin Yu, also attended the banquet today as a representative of Zhuhuo Yingjie.
At the banquet, no one did anything strange.
Sing birthday songs, blow out candles, make wishes, cut cakes...
Looking at the people who were laughing and blessing him and trying to make the birthday party as lively as possible, Lin Yu's thoughts suddenly flew far away.
These are obviously very ordinary birthday procedures, but at this moment, Lin Yu felt that emotions that were completely inconsistent with the atmosphere of the scene emerged in front of him.
After regaining his memory, Lin Yu celebrated his birthday for the first time.
But now, the beautiful scene in front of him reminded Lin Yu of...
——A few years ago, when he was not yet an orphan, his family celebrated his birthday in the same way.
Everybody is so nice, and everybody is doing these things for my happiness.
But now...
Ha, my mind has become twisted to this extent. These are things that I should be happy about, but I still unconsciously think about things that I shouldn’t think about at this time.
"What's wrong, Ayu."
Looking at Lin Yu who was obviously distracted, Rita asked Lin Yu in a soft voice.
"Are you dissatisfied with the cake your sister made?"
"...That's impossible."
After suppressing the memories in his heart, Lin Yu smiled and said to Rita.
"Thank you, sister, and everyone."
"Today, I'm really happy."
"Well, as long as you are happy, then..."
"It's getting late. I should go back and rest."
Rita suddenly said this and waved at Lin Yu with a smile.
"Ayu, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Rita was the first to leave the scene on her own initiative just as the banquet was about to end.
"Hey, Rita, you—"
Bianca, who had already changed into an evening gown today and was made more beautiful than usual by Rita and Yuno, felt a little panicked when she saw that one of her supporters had left just like that.
"Ah, that's right. We have a mission tomorrow."
After seeing Rita giving her a suggestive look, Yuno, who had always hoped that Lin Yu would have more people to accompany him, grabbed Lin Yi, who obviously still wanted to play, and waved to everyone.
"Xiaoyi also needs to go to bed early, so I'll take her back to her room first."
"Ah, wait for me, Yuno."
After seeing Yuno and Lin Yi catching up with Rita, Kiana, who had been having fun just now, immediately quickly caught up with the two.
Just as she and Bianca passed each other, Bianca heard her sister say something to her in an inaudible voice.
"Come on, sister."
Wait, Kiana, what do you mean?
