"Of course I know what you mean. You may not have obtained the core yet."
"But I believe that with your power to seal the Herrscher, there is no one else in this era who is more suitable than you to restrain the Herrscher's core."
"You will become my colleague sooner or later, so now - it wouldn't be a bad idea to be a little gentle to your future colleague, right?"
Having said that, Feiyumaru, who was originally confronting Yaezakura and Ji Lin, actually put away the Jizo Soul very obediently and gave Lin Yu a seemingly flawless smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to make you trust me completely."
"I just want to move around in this illusory space. As long as you agree to my request, I can lend you some of my power."
After the vengeful spirit of 'Jisang Yuhun' completely dissipated from everyone's sight, the scattered starlight after the vengeful spirit dissipated actually condensed together and turned into a katana emitting evil energy, floating beside Feiyukumaru.
"This sword is called Jizo-myouhun. It was created by a nasty woman in the past who used my core and some of my materials to create this weapon."
"It's just a pity, because she only had time to seal me, but not to kill me, so without my cooperation, she was unable to complete the weapon."
After saying this, Feiyuwan actually controlled the Key of God to fly towards Lin Yu's body.
Looking at the katana floating in front of him, Lin Yu naturally did not touch the Jizo Soul, but continued to maintain his calm expression and stared at Feiyu Maru.
"What do you mean?"
"My meaning is very simple - I will give you the power of the core, and you have to let me move freely in this space."
At this moment, the look in Feiyuwan's eyes when he looked at Lin Yu suddenly became full of temptation in Lin Yu's eyes.
"Well, as long as you have this sword, you can control anyone you want in the outside world."
"Even if you want to corrupt those little girls and turn them into your captives, it will only take one strike."
"As long as you have this sword, you can corrupt any enemy and make them your servants - or even your dead souls."
"This deal shouldn't be a loss for you."
"Indeed, this deal is a great profit for me..."
Under the extremely surprised eyes of Ji Lin and Yaezakura, Lin Yu actually held the sword like a fool.
After seeing Lin Yu make this move, Feiyuwan immediately said happily.
"I knew you would make this choice, so--"
"——The premise is that you don't trip over this sword."
The moment Lin Yu grasped the sword, he covered the sword with a magic lantern barrier, completely sealing the power of the sword.
"you......!"
Looking at Lin Yu's action, Feiyuwan, who thought he had successfully bewitched the other party, suddenly said angrily.
"Foolish! With this sword, you can become the king of this world!"
"In a sense, that's true, but the problem is..."
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"——Who gave you the illusion that I needed it?"
"You said that this sword can corrode everything, and even make my companions become my captives?"
"Come on, it's such a low-level move in this day and age."
Lin Yu, who had completed the sealing technique, suddenly put his hands on his hips with great confidence and spoke to Feiyuwan in a pretentious manner.
"Do you need something as cheap as Jizo's Soul to pick up girls?"
"I'm super handsome, okay! As a handsome, sunny, cheerful boy, they like me a lot."
"My harem and I are deeply in love with each other. We don't need this broken sword to destroy the relationship between us!"
[......Host, let me ask you, are you mentally okay? ]
[Is this something you would say? Are you really going crazy from the stress?]
What you said is true. Apart from being a little tired, I am in good spirits.
This guy seems to have some brains, but not much - even if I didn't notice the energy fluctuations above, her sudden action of giving power was enough to make me alert.
In addition, her own power is the power of the Corrosive Ruler that corrodes everything. If I really believed her, I would be an idiot.
[Oh, that makes sense, but what does that have to do with what you're saying now, which sounds like something you'd only say when you're insane?]
What do you think of me, sir?
[His moral standards are not low, so he can be considered a good person. ]
Yes, but this is the state I maintain when I am treating someone I think I should be polite to.
Actually, I’m very careful.
This little girl actually dared to treat me like a fool and deceive me. I will definitely find a way to make her angry.
It's just a few words of conversation, but I do it every day - it feels good to just talk, so why shouldn't I do it!
[Yes, that makes sense.]
[As expected of the Honkai Mouth Cannon Man, even at this time, he is thinking about launching an attack on the enemy's mind? 】
"You, you, you- you bastard! Give me back my core!"
"No, just go back to sleep. The organization will remember your contribution."
After directly covering the opponent's body with the magic lantern barrier, Lin Yu looked at the girl who was talking frantically but was silenced by his magic with the magic lantern barrier, and made a naughty face at this time.
Feiyuwan, whose power had just been taken away by Lin Yu, really felt even angrier at this moment.
She finally accumulated strength and found an opportunity to try to use words and power to erode the opponent's body at the same time, so as to achieve her ambition of taking away the opponent's body.
But - hey, why is it okay for him to touch the handle of the knife with his hand!
That's my core!
Give me back my core!
"Okay, let's leave that guy alone."
At this time, after Lin Yu put away his sword, he looked at Ji Lin, who should not be here.
"Ancestor Ji Lin, can you tell me now why you can appear here?"
"...Perhaps it is because the power within this stigma is too strong."
At this time, Ji Lin said thoughtfully after recalling his previous experience.
"After I gave you my stigmata, they should have completely disappeared."
"But after your stigmata and my stigmata suddenly merged, the soul fragments in my stigmata were strengthened."
"I am not Ji Lin himself now, but just a remnant soul."
"However, in this stigmata space, I felt that the power that was not Honkai energy was flowing, so I borrowed this power and completed my 'regeneration'."
"but......"
Having said that, Ji Lin suddenly showed a hint of guilt.
"I borrowed that power, so the seal of this Herrscher began to loosen."
"By the time Miss Yaezakura and I realized something was wrong, it was already too late, so we used the power of the stigmata together to 'call' you."
Hmm, let me think about it.
The power I used to seal Feiyuwan is actually the illusion barrier.
Although I usually only use the slide barrier to change other people's cognition and weaken the enemy's power, if this barrier is used well, it can partially change reality.
The slide barrier in the original novel did something similar.
Ji Lin was originally a soul fragment within the stigma, so it was not surprising that he unconsciously used this power to complete his resurrection.
Alas, anyone can win the resurrection match.
Only that man, once he left, was really gone.
"Ancestor Ji Lin, please don't show that expression."
Looking at Ji Lin's guilty eyes, Lin Yu said to Ji Lin and Yaezakura.
"The situation is urgent right now. I think it's actually a good thing to have an extra person guarding this place."
"This Herrscher may not have been a bad person in the past, but now she is undoubtedly an enemy of humanity."
"If something similar happens again, please continue to inform me as soon as possible."
There are already enough troubles outside, and now we have to continue to suppress Feiyuwan...
Tsk, even with a layer of slide barrier now, I can still feel the powerful fluctuations coming from the Herrscher's core.
My current strength alone is not enough to perfectly seal and control this sword.
Only after I can harness the power of this sword...
——My chances of winning against Otto will increase significantly.
..
Chapter 163. Kiana’s favorability towards Lin Yu should be high enough, right?
When Lin Yu's consciousness returned to the real world, he could feel that he had established a connection with something.
However, considering that there might be surveillance cameras installed by a man in the lounge of Tianming Headquarters at this time, Lin Yu certainly didn't dare to mess around.
He didn't know what information Otto saw in the Void Wanzang database.
And now, if Lin Yu summoned a strange sword where Otto might see it, it would be very wrong.
If Otto had seen the design drawing of Jizo Onmyoji and instantly remembered the function of this thing, then big problems would arise.
Even if Otto was a little more suspicious, after seeing Lin Yu could summon this sword, he would use Yu Duchen to hypnotize Lin Yu and let Lin Yu summon this weapon in front of him once.
If Lin Yu doesn't take it out at that time, all his past disguises will be exposed.
If Lin Yu takes it out, will Otto, who can summon the Key of Corrosion and kill Siegfried Cecilia, let Lin Yu go?
It is true that Jizo Soul is a natural counter to Otto, but the prerequisite is that the user can perfectly control Jizo Soul.
Although Lin Yu is now much stronger than he was fifteen days ago, the strength of his body is accumulated by the skills and props he has drawn, plus the techniques he has practiced in his dreams.
The improvement in his overall strength gave him the power to fight against the Herrscher.
But this does not mean that some of his shortcomings no longer exist.
Even a veteran A-class warrior as strong as Shigure Kirara would have his arm corroded by the Key of God if he had held the Black Abyss White Flower in the past.
If Kirara Shigure had not been thrown into some strange place in the past, according to the Valkyrie level determination criteria of Destiny, she would definitely be an S-level who is not inferior to Rita.
Even for such a person, touching the Black Abyss White Flower whose core is already 'dead' would bring a huge burden. Using this example as a reference, Lin Yu felt that it would be better for him not to be too arrogant in this regard.
What's more, this core is still "alive", and the erosion power of the Key of Erosion, which can erode other people's bodies unconsciously, is definitely much faster than the Key of Creation.
I got the trump card, but I can’t use it.
No, you can't think like that.
No matter how strong the corrosive power of the Corrosion Key is, it is still essentially the erosion of the body by Honkai energy.
If I wrap my right hand with holy blood, I might be able to slow down the erosion of the Key of Corrosion on myself.
But it's not a big deal to cut your body every day...
Sure enough, I still need more HSN serums.
Before the time travel, I just thought this serum was kind of powerful.
But now thinking back, Dr. Machi is a genius that even a guy like Otto, who claims to be the smartest man in the world, would truly admire.
If Otto had not produced something outstanding enough, how could he have admired a traitor who betrayed him?
As the holder of the Key of God that holds all the treasures of the void, Otto's development in scientific research is actually more inclined to rely on the technology of previous civilizations to make improvements and reproduce technologies.
But Dr. Maki, who basically has no access to that database, can come up with something like this...
