Why does the Herrscher of the Void personality residing in Kiana's body think that Cecilia-senpai was killed by her "immediate boss"?
"You seem to have a lot of doubts in your heart, and even think that I am trying to sow discord between you, but..."
"never mind!"
"Today, you all have to—"
"mom!"
Xilin, who was about to say something harsh, was stunned when she suddenly heard a voice calling out to her.
Then, when she turned her gaze to Lin Yi, whose face was full of sadness but no tears were shed, she said with a slightly complicated look in her eyes.
"...You are still willing to call me mom, my dear daughter."
"No matter what, mom is mom!"
At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to have made up her mind. She ignored Yuno who wanted to say something and walked towards Xilin step by step.
"I don't know why my mother did these things, but I believe that my mother is not a bad person."
"If you have any difficulties, Mom can tell me, Aunt Bianca, and Grandma Theresa."
"We are all good people. If mom tells you about the grievances in her heart——"
"I'm so sorry, my dear girl."
After saying these words so gently, Xilin suddenly disappeared from where she was.
At this time, Yulandel, who was secretly commanding King and Queen to appear beside Xilin and preparing to launch a sneak attack on Xilin, looked at Xilin who appeared again with a hint of teasing in her eyes, and smacked her lips unwillingly.
This guy...!
A bit too vigilant, right?
On the other side, Walter, who had already treated Yuno and Mei's injuries, looked at Xilin now and felt that his head hurt even more.
In the past, although Xilin had stronger power than Walter, she tended to be arrogant when things were going well for her.
It was precisely because of her special personality that she was schemed against by Walter several times during the Second Honkai War and suffered a lot.
But now, Sirin, who was "resurrected" by Otto, is obviously much more cautious than during the second collapse.
Xilin's biggest weakness is that her brain goes offline when riding with the wind and waves, but now that her weakness has disappeared...
My head hurts.
Otto, you, it’s not enough that you have betrayed me and Siegfried several times, but now you have resurrected the Herrscher of the Void.
When he thought of that disgusting face, Walter wished he could manifest the Jizo soul and stab the sword into Otto's body.
But unfortunately, Otto is not here.
And now, he had to find a way to pack up and take away all the friendly forces at the scene in front of the third core Xilin.
"Ah, Walter, you look like you're up to something again."
At this time, Xilin walked to Lin Yi's side, gently picked up her daughter, and suddenly waved gently to Walter.
"I won't give you another chance to plot against me, traitor!"
"mom!"
Lin Yi, who was picked up by Xilin, did not struggle at this time. Instead, she threw herself into Xilin's arms and shouted loudly at her.
"Stop it now! There's something wrong with being a mother like this!"
"The mother I like, Kiana, is a kind woman who is a little clumsy, but extremely gentle at heart! The mother now is nothing like the mother in my mind!"
"If Dad saw you like this, he would definitely be sad!"
Dad...Lin Yu...Senior...
Amid the girl's cries, Xilin, who had originally planned to continue attacking Walter and Yulandel, suddenly let go of the arms that were holding Lin Yi and covered her head in great pain.
“Damn it…Damn it…Damn it! You fake, why are you blocking me at this time!?”
Realizing that the other personality in her body had not yet completely silenced, Xilin immediately moved to a distant place and kept a certain distance from everyone else.
Yulandel, who was planning to take the opportunity to chase the enemy, could only use her body to block Lin Yi and Xilin, protecting Lin Yi behind her.
"Xiaoyi, back off, she is no longer Kiana."
"Yes, my dear daughter, I am no longer the same person I used to be."
Xilin felt a splitting headache and was unable to exert her full strength. She covered her face and looked at everyone at the scene, then spoke coldly to Lin Yi.
"Today, for your sake, I will spare these rubbish."
"But next time we meet, my dear daughter, I hope you...can make a decision that will satisfy your mother."
After saying this, Xilin directly activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void and left from everyone's sight.
After confirming that Xilin was not bluffing, Walter and Yulandel breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
No matter what, not having to face a Herrscher with three Herrscher cores is always a good thing for the two people who now have to protect the wounded.
As for Su, who was still being hunted by the Herrscher of Consciousness, he gritted his teeth and, despite the danger of being severely injured by the Herrscher of Consciousness, concentrated a large amount of mental power in his body into his right palm.
"You bastard, compensate me for your apprentice!"
"Hua, it's almost time to wake up."
Su, who had completely given up on defense, struck the Ruler of Consciousness on the forehead at the cost of having his body pierced through.
Under Su's powerful mental interference, Fu Hua finally succeeded in regaining control of her body under the premise that the Herrscher of Consciousness had collapsed and strengthened.
"Su, I...I...I..."
After immediately pulling her bloody hands out of her comrade's body, Fu Hua looked at Su, who had a helpless look on his face, and took two steps back in confusion.
"Hua, listen to me, this is not your fault..."
Looking at Walter who was jogging all the way to his side, Su said to Fu Hua with a wry smile.
"Everything that happened today was a plan that was ruined."
"Including you, me, Lin Yu, Kevin... even everyone present, have been calculated by Houkai."
"You are not in good condition, and the core in your body happens to be the Herrscher of Consciousness core that can suppress consciousness, so you often encounter this state where you cannot control yourself."
"But just now, I injected all my remaining mental energy into your head."
"Combined with our previous efforts on Mount Taixu, you should be able to completely suppress the personality of the Herrscher of Consciousness in a while and return to the front line."
"......I see."
Fu Hua, who wanted to apologize, looked at Su Kuanwei's eyes and knew that her comrade-in-arms did not want her to do something that would not help.
However, in addition to the guilt towards her comrades, there is another feeling left in Fu Hua's heart.
That's sadness.
The Herrscher of Consciousness went berserk because of Lin Yu's death, and as the "Master" in Lin Yu's mouth, how could Fu Hua not have the slightest fluctuation in her heart?
She was also extremely saddened by Lin Yu's 'death'...
No, perhaps it was precisely because he was unable to contain his inner emotions that when a loophole appeared in his heart, the Herrscher of Knowledge instantly gained the upper hand and took away control of his body again.
At this moment, in the scene that had finally become quiet, there was an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Kiana, what's wrong with you..."
Mei, whose injuries were less severe than Yuno's, was still conscious at this time.
Thinking back to what had just happened, she still didn't want to believe it...
——Believe the facts happening before your eyes.
Lin Yu disappeared, and Kiana awakened her Herrscher personality.
For Mei, who cherished these two people very much, the blow she suffered was greater than the blow she felt when her father Raiden Ryoma was harmed by Cocolia.
If Raiden Ryoma goes to jail, he will just be serving a term of imprisonment.
Lin Yu's disappearance and the taking away of Kiana's body...is basically equivalent to declaring the death of both of them at the level of existence and personality.
"Aunt Mei, Aunt Bianca, and Aunt Fuhua."
Looking at the three people who were in sorrow, Lin Yi spoke to them calmly.
"Don't show that expression. Dad told us to wait for him before he left. He will come back."
"My dad must be a man who keeps his promises, so..."
After a brief pause, Lin Yi said to everyone with a smile.
"Please believe in my father, he will definitely come back."
Whether it was Walter, who had just met Lin Yi, or the people who had been with Lin Yi for several days, they could all feel that Lin Yi, who had just lost her father, was obviously forcing a smile to comfort everyone.
However, facing the little girl in front of them, no one was so low in emotional intelligence as to choose to burst her smile that was used to disguise sadness.
"Sorry, Xiaoyi."
Looking at the girl in front of her who was obviously very sad but pretending to be calm for everyone, Fu Hua, who felt that she had performed very poorly today, said this softly and left from everyone's sight.
"Until I am completely 'stable', I have no right to stay with you all."
"Aunt Fu Hua has made her decision. I won't try to keep you here, but - we've made a promise that you must come back after you recover from your 'illness'."
Looking at Fu Hua's receding back, Lin Yi shouted loudly to Fu Hua.
"Dad also values Aunt Fu Hua very much. If you are not here by then, Dad will be very lonely!"
Moreover, among all the people present, there was one person who had nothing to do with Lin Yu.
It is precisely because of this that he, who possesses some intelligence, can make some speculations more calmly.
"Everyone of you from the Destiny, I think now, I have proved with my actions that I am not here to start a war today."
Walter, who had used the Key of God several times today, spoke to everyone in a slightly weak voice.
"So now, can you all calm down a little and listen to me?"
After hearing Walter's speech, Mei looked at Yulandel, who was higher in military rank than her.
In response to Mei's questioning look, Yulandel nodded slightly and spoke to Walter very solemnly.
"Please speak, leader of Anti-Entropy."
"Well, I know that everyone is grieving because of Mr. Lin Yu's matter, but when he disappeared, I observed his state when he disappeared."
After lightly tapping a few times in the air, Walter called up a video from the intelligence screen and showed it to everyone.
"Our anti-entropy executor Kokolia has carried out a human quantization experiment called X10 behind my back."
"At the end of this experiment, her adopted daughter, Xi'er Fuleai, was one of the experimental subjects. Her body was quantized due to the experiment."
"Also, in the last X10 experiment, Cocolia's adopted daughter Bronya Zaychek obtained a tactical mecha that she named [Heavy Armor Bunny] after this experiment."
After showing these images in front of everyone, Walter pushed his glasses, which had no prescription at all, and continued to speak to everyone.
"Based on this information, I strongly suspect that Mr. Lin Yu may not have died, but rather his body has become quantized due to his power going out of control."
"this......"
Recalling the scene when Bronya summoned the Heavy Armor Bunny, a hint of hope gradually appeared on Mei's face.
"You're right! Is Lin Yu really still alive?!"
"It's just a possibility."
【Mr. Walter.】
Su, who had recovered some strength at this time, immediately used the remaining little mental power to ask Walter in Walter's mind.
【What you said...】
Of course it's all true, I'm not telling any white lies.
Listening to Walter’s speech, Su felt that he was really a little tired today.
As a scientific researcher from the previous era, Su Guqi also knew about the Quantum Sea.
Because the scene was in chaos, Su, who had mastered a lot of information, was unable to observe some details after being entangled by the Herrscher of Knowledge...
Sigh, I have used too much mental energy, causing me to become a little distracted?
