"Okay, no more jokes."
After gently hugging the woman in front of him, Lin Yu spoke to Ling very gently.
"We can be said to have known each other for a long time. At least on my birthday today, please give me some face."
"But......"
At this time, Ling, who was hugged by Lin Yu, finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"You want to face the Cocoon of the End alone. Do you... want to die?"
"Ha, I have answered this question many times, and my answer is always the same."
After hugging the woman in his arms tightly, Lin Yu spoke to Ling confidently in a soft voice.
"It will win."
"Because I am the strongest."
After saying this, Lin Yu's figure finally disappeared from Ling's side.
"Lin Yu, hey... stop joking..."
Looking at the stars disappearing before her eyes, Ling tried to hold everything in front of her with her hands, but in the end she found that she could only sit down on the ground helplessly.
"You bastard, things don't have to get to this point!!!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Didn't Kevin already believe in your plan? Wasn't the Stigmata plan already eliminated?"
"Damn it, your so-called reliable plan is to sacrifice yourself? This kind of thing... How can I allow it!!!!!!!!!"
"This, this is..."
Bianca, who was originally tired because of Lin Yu's slide barrier, gradually regained her consciousness after Lin Yu disappeared from the room.
And when she saw Ling sitting on the ground crying, Bianca instantly realized that Lin Yu had tricked her.
"This thing is..."
Bianca looked at the stigmata of the cross that appeared on the back of her hand and felt the special power in her body disappear, her face gradually turning pale.
With her personality, she should have acted at full capacity at this moment, but at this moment, her intuition, which she had always trusted very much, told her...
——Everything is too late.
wrong......
wrong!
It’s never too late!
Now I have to contact you all!
Lin Yu left, but this does not mean that everything has reached the point where it cannot be undone, so...
"Ling, don't cry, stand up."
After helping this acquaintance who she knew but was not very familiar with, Bianca immediately changed her clothes and spoke to Ling who had stopped crying.
"There must be something we can do for him - no, maybe we still have a chance to stop him!"
"…It's useless, Bianca."
Although Ling was helped up from the ground by Bianca at this time, the expression on her face did not change much.
Looking at the girl who still held out hope, Ling said with a sad smile.
"You don't understand..."
"I don't understand? Why?!"
"——Because you are not a Herrscher."
After giving this reason, Ling walked weakly towards the door of the room while continuing to speak to Bianca.
"You are not a Herrscher, so you cannot feel how... irreversible what Lin Yu is doing now is."
"He went to find the Cocoon of the End, and in front of the Cocoon of the End, even with his current strength..."
"——We definitely can't fight against the Cocoon of the End."
"No, I don't believe it!"
Seeing that Ling didn't know what to do, Bianca gave up the idea of continuing to persuade her.
She had no intention of looking for her peers of the same age - now that Ling, who shouldn't be here, suddenly appeared here, it meant that the Herrschers among her peers must have noticed something was wrong.
At times like this, I need someone to discuss the situation with...
Mr. Walter and Mr. Su!
They are both very intelligent, and they might have noticed some problems a long time ago!
Reverse entropy, I'm going to reverse entropy now!
Lin Yu, just wait for me...
——You did such excessive things to me and everyone today, I will never forgive you!
.........
Anti-Entropy Headquarters. Between the Ark
Inside the Ark, Walter felt a trace of disappointment in his eyes after he felt the strength that had been in his body for a long time finally disappear.
The reason why he didn't go to Tianming Headquarters to celebrate Lin Yu's birthday today was indeed because of his own ideas.
However, Walter, Su, Kevin, and even some Le Tu Yingjie, who had already noticed certain things, helped Lin Yu conceal his thoughts so spontaneously. Of course, it was not because everyone thought "this is the best".
In fact, when Lin Yu realized that some people might have seen through the biggest problem in his plan, he had already secretly used the slide barrier to [seal] the mouths of some of these people.
Under the premise of a sneak attack, facing the slide barrier that has been fully deployed to [distort the world's perception of reality], even this group of masters would be caught off guard and would have no time to resist Lin Yu's cognitive rewriting.
Only now that Lin Yu had taken back those powers did their rewritten cognition return to normal.
"Mr. Lin Yu, you..."
Although the core of the Ruler of Reason was no longer in his body, Walter, who was still able to use the power of the Ruler of Reason, heard the message left by Lin Yu through his power at the same time he felt the power disappear.
Looking at this Shenzhou text floating in the air, Walter sighed helplessly.
[Mr. Walter, I'm sorry to use such excessive force on you, but please believe me, this is for the victory of mankind...]
[Forget it, let’s not say such hypocritical words at a time like this. ]
[I know that some of you have already seen through some of the flaws in that plan, and will definitely take action to make me safer and try to continue to delay the arrival of the end. ]
[I am very grateful for everyone doing this for my sake, but... I don't have time. ]
[I don’t know when Xiaoyi, Kiana, and Bianca’s bodies will have problems, so I must get rid of the Cocoon of the End before anything happens to them.]
[As for the chances of winning... they are not particularly high. 】
[But even if I don't win, I will try my best to severely damage the Cocoon of the End the moment I fail to transform.]
[Although this thing is ferocious, after I severely injure Him, there is a chance that a sufficient number of Moonlight Thrones will be able to kill Him.]
[I don’t think there’s anything else to say, but if I have to say anything…]
[If I can't come back, please help me say sorry to everyone. ]
[Haha, speaking of this, maybe wanting to protect my daughter and my lover is just an excuse I made for myself.]
[Maybe in the end, I will still be a vengeful ghost, and as a vengeful ghost...]
[I, after all, still want to complete my revenge on Honkai myself! ]
"What a frustrating message."
After sighing, Walter, who had finished reading the message, realized that Bianca, who was wearing an evening dress, had appeared behind him without knowing when.
Bianca, who arrived at the Ark through the quantum teleportation system as soon as possible, did not show any change in expression after reading the messages.
And in Walter's opinion, the worst thing happened.
If Bianca started crying and making a fuss at this time, then the situation would be easier to deal with, after all, this situation shows that she is still venting her inner emotions.
If she was trying to suppress her inner emotions, but could still see a certain degree of emotional fluctuations, then Walter would only sigh that Siegfried's daughter was very strong.
But now she looks calm, which means the matter is serious.
"Mr. Walter, I have a question."
At this time, Bianca walked up to Walter with a calm expression and asked him in a tone without any flatness.
"Now if we want to go near the Cocoon of the End..."
"Just use the Moonlight Throne."
"Oh, that's it. I'll go inform everyone then."
After watching Bianca disappear directly from his sight, Walter once again confirmed his previous thoughts.
People change, and they change with the people around them and the environment they are in.
Bianca, who shouldn't have been so radical, became an extremist under Lin Yu's influence.
It's okay to worry about Lin Yu's safety, but now...
For a moment, I actually saw the shadow of Mr. Lin Yu in Bianca.
I really hope this is just my illusion.
.....
Almost at the same time. Destiny Headquarters.
In the Tianming headquarters, Lin Yi looked at the two mothers whose expressions suddenly changed, and some helpless thoughts emerged in her mind.
Although she is just a child, she knows as much as these adults and elderly people.
Lin Yi, who had long realized that Lin Yu was worried about her physical condition, actually had a vague guess that "my father might do something wrong because of my health problems."
She didn't reveal her guess just to avoid causing more confusion within Tianming because of her conjecture.
But now, Lin Yi regrets it.
She knew that her father usually looked calm, but was essentially an impulsive person.
But she really didn't expect that when faced with such a big problem as the Cocoon of the End, her father would actually rush in alone according to his usual behavior...
No, we can't even follow our usual pattern of action.
According to Lin Yi's daily chats with the elders, her father actually made a lot of preparations behind the scenes in order to kill Otto.
Therefore, the fact that Lin Yu flew out alone during this operation obviously made her feel even more horrified.
As for why Lin Yi knew things that only a genuine Herrscher could perceive, it was mainly because she was also one of the reserve Herrscher of the End.
When her power disappeared and her mother's expression suddenly changed, she could guess the correct answer just by random guessing.
My dad’s personality…it’s really hard to describe.
In order to prevent everyone from having a headache because of the problem of the Cocoon of the End, I will go and have the headache alone.
I've already told you that a father like you will lead your children astray. Now you're like this...
I'm just a kid, so I inevitably want to imitate my parents' style.
And now, Yuno's mother and Kiana's mother looked very unhappy, even as if they were about to cry, but they still endured the pain in their hearts and immediately smiled a few times, allowing me to have a good rest.
They are always thinking about others and not considering their own feelings...
That’s why I say that I am very distressed to have such parents.
After seeing off her two mothers with a smile, Lin Yi closed the door of the room and leaned against the wall, feeling the strength in her body slowly leaving.
Lin Yi, who thought she would be stronger, realized that she was just a fragile kid after hugging herself with her arms.
Lin Yu longs for the love of his family, but isn't it the same for Lin Yi?
She usually behaves very sensible, not only because of Alicia's teachings after the activation of the Flawless Key, but also because of some fears in her heart.
Because she was very clear that she was a child of unknown origin, in order to prevent her parents from hating her, she tried hard to act well-behaved and tried to make it easier for others to accept her.
However, now, the father who treated her as his daughter without reservation, actually went against Jian for the sake of the people around him and all mankind.
Although the outcome of the confrontation is still unknown, if the Cocoon of the End was so easy to deal with, her elders wouldn't have to worry so much.
