Yuno walked to Mei's side, pointed at Kiana falling from the sky, and continued to speak to Mei helplessly.
"The Herrscher of the Void, who possessed three cores, had most of his power taken away by the restraining barrier in an instant. If the two of us rashly stepped into the barrier, we would instantly become a burden that would hold the senior back."
"...You are right."
After taking a deep breath, Mei said to Yuno with a wry smile.
"You're... much calmer than I am."
"Okay, there's no need to feel sorry for yourself. Everyone thinks differently. You're more worried about your senior, so you'll naturally forget about these little details at a time like this."
After gently patting Mei's shoulder, Yuno said to her with a smile.
"Now that the biggest problem has been solved, I think we should seize the time to gather the core rather than continue wasting time here."
"Although the three core Herrscher of the Void has been suppressed, no one knows how long the barrier of the senior can suppress her."
"But if the two of us can condense the core back into our bodies, then the Herrscher of the Void, who will then become a single-core Herrscher, will naturally be completely suppressed by you in terms of strength. This is the best way to assist you in the battle."
Listening to Yuno's analysis, Mei, who had already begun to condense her core, felt that her analytical ability was indeed inferior to that of the other party.
The moment she saw Lin Yu, she didn't think at all that she might be a drag in the battle. She just wanted to get close to Lin Yu madly and see the boy's face clearly at this moment.
When Mei Yi thought about how she almost held Lin Yu back, she felt...
Alas, I am still too immature.
[Rather than saying you are too young, it’s better to say that there is something wrong with Poison Ivy. ]
After listening to Yuno's analysis, the Herrscher of Thunder suddenly spoke to Mei slowly with an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
[Poison Ivy... She really doesn't care about Lin Yu's safety at all. ]
What are you talking about? Yuno just analyzed the situation calmly. It doesn't mean that she doesn't care about Lin Yu.
[Really? Maybe you are right.]
[But her feelings for Lin Yu are much more complicated than we imagined... Hehe, this is not a bad thing for you. ]
[If this kind of meticulous person joins the war between you and the white-haired fool, then the two of you combined won't be able to beat her. ]
[She obviously has feelings for Lin Yu, but she is willing to help you... Hehe, if you succeed, she will definitely take the credit.]
I say, why are you still thinking about these things when the war situation is so critical?
Is now the time to think about love?
【Oh, well said.】
[But the question is, who was it just now who almost rushed over when he saw that he didn't get his lover? Without Poison Ivy holding you back, you would have been covered by the restraining barrier and lying on the ground.]
This, this, this... This was an accident.
[Yes, yes, it’s an accident. ]
[Since this is an accident, I will also talk about another accident. ]
what?
[Lin Yu walked towards the white-haired idiot. It would be fine if he could deal with the white-haired idiot directly. But if the white-haired idiot escaped by other means, then...]
The Herrscher of Thunder hadn't finished his words yet, but the two people present at this moment saw the 'Kiana' with golden eyes at the same time. After glaring at Lin Yu angrily, she actually disappeared from everyone's sight.
【Disappeared, disappeared???】
You - you have a bad mouth!
After seeing her best friend who was so close to her and about to be rescued actually disappear from her sight, Mei, who had just relaxed a little, suddenly became nervous.
It's bad, we have no idea where Kiana will fly to.
And Lin Yu...
Mei, who originally thought that Lin Yu didn't know where Kiana would fly to, suddenly remembered something.
Mei was so happy about Lin Yu's return that she lost her brain a little.
Now that she has calmed down a little, Mei's analytical ability has returned.
She was able to rank among the top three in the exams at St. Freya Academy, so of course she couldn't be a fool who knew nothing.
After just thinking about the past events, Mei felt that she was worrying about nothing.
When Lin Yu was still an agent, he knew how to make arrangements in advance to strengthen Mei's heart, and at the same time send Kiana who was in danger to a safe place.
In the eyes of Mei and others, even if Lin Yu is not a super smart person who can plan everything for the best, he is at least a smart person.
The Herrscher of the Void carries the Key of the Void and may escape from the enemy's sight at any time. Lin Yu must know this.
So...
Seeing Lin Yu looking back at the two of them with an expression of "don't worry, I'm here", Mei Yi felt completely relieved.
The moment Lin Yu made this move, his figure disappeared from the spot.
About five seconds later, Theresa brought Rita to this area using the quantum teleportation system, and immediately looked at Mei and Yuno with great excitement.
"Mei Yuno, we just used the surveillance system to see that figure - it was Lin Yu, right?"
"Yes, Bishop, Miss Rita."
Looking at Theresa who was extremely excited and Rita who was unusually calm at this moment, Yuno said to the two of them.
"Senior Lin Yu has returned."
It's just, it's very strange.
Miss Rita and Senior Lin Yu are very good relatives. Why did Miss Rita act as if she was not very happy after Senior Lin Yu came back?
Seeing Yuno's slightly puzzled look, Rita realized that she had lost her composure a little. She looked at Yuno with a smile and asked, taking the initiative.
"What's wrong, Miss Yuno?"
"...No, nothing."
I must be overthinking it. Miss Rita has a good relationship with her senior.
Just now, she just couldn't fully accept this surprise for a while, so she behaved so abnormally.
Rita felt that she had probably fooled herself about this matter. Although she was filled with joy because of Lin Yu's return, she also felt sad at the same time.
In fact, there are very few people who know about the plan against the Herrscher of the Void this time.
In addition to Mei and Yuno, who acted as bait to lure the Herrscher of the Sky, Theresa and Rita, who were ready to pounce on the enemy at any time, were also people who knew about this.
But besides them, there were two other people who knew about the plan.
The first person was Theresa’s good friend Himeko Murata. Rita didn’t think there was anything wrong with her as a senior.
But the composition of the second person - there is no need to discuss it at all.
The second person was Amber, the secretary of the former Bishop of Heaven's Mandate, Otto Apocalis.
Although Amber is now also handling the affairs of the Destiny as Theresa's secretary, Rita is sure that Amber must be secretly in contact with Otto.
Otto has been missing for about a month, ever since his neck was broken by Fu Hua during the fifth Honkai Impact.
The fact that he didn't contact the Tianming headquarters to issue instructions at the beginning may also indicate that he had plans in other places.
But a month has passed, which shows that the accusations of Bishop Destiny are nothing in Otto's eyes.
Rita's resentment towards this boss who seemed to not want to fight against Honkai and actually did not contact the headquarters when Sentence needed command the most grew, and of course her suspicion of Otto also increased day by day.
As her suspicion of Otto grew day by day, she certainly didn't want Amber, as Otto's lackey, to get to know too much information.
But now, no matter how dissatisfied Rita was, she couldn't find a reason to hinder Amber's actions.
Amber is, after all, Otto's trusted secretary for many years. Even if Rita suggests that we be on guard against Amber...
—Will Theresa listen?
And it's not just Theresa. For other colleagues in the destiny team who had never guessed Otto's true intentions, Otto's current situation cannot even be said to still have some influence, but rather that he "just left the headquarters for a few days for something."
Even if the old man who has been in charge of the destiny for five hundred years did not do it on purpose, he has gained enough influence and majesty through the long period of time.
Now the brother that Rita is most worried about is back. Who knows what extreme behavior Otto, who seems to not want to fight Honkai seriously, will do to her vengeful ghost brother.
My head hurts so much.
It would be fine if it was anyone else, but the one who did the evil was the bishop.
Ayu who doesn't want to deal with the threat posed by the Bishop and has to fight both Honkai and the Bishop at the same time...
——When the critical moment comes, we will definitely face more dangers.
.........
At the same time, a small island
On a small island, Belenus, who had just watched Xilin leave, saw a sudden burst of energy fluctuations from the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle where Xilin stayed a minute later.
As the energy fluctuation ended, Xilin, who was extremely confident a minute ago, fell to the ground extremely weakly, gasping for breath.
But if it were an ordinary day, Belenus might have seen Xilin's frustrated expression after her defeat.
But at this time, Xilin, who had just escaped from the battlefield in Changkong City with the Key of Sky, still had some resentment in her eyes, but the expression on her face was more of relief after surviving the disaster.
"My Queen!"
After helping the dusty Silin up from the ground, Belenus asked with great concern.
"Are you okay?"
"...Ha, of course I'm fine."
No way. I flew over and said a few harsh words, but I was almost killed by the guy who was restrained. Bella must not know about this.
Previously in Changkong City, Xilin felt weak all over. The moment she fell, she realized why God told her not to come to this place.
Those two women were bait from the beginning!
The purpose was to lure her to Changkong City, and to use her life as bait to lure Xilin into the trap!
At the moment when all her strength was lost, Xilin barely supported her body, relying on the connection she barely maintained with the Sky Key, and used up the last bit of her remaining strength to activate the teleportation ability of the Sky Key.
Before Lin Yu came to her, she used her last bit of strength to escape from that terrible hell.
However, even though she escaped from the scene, Xilin couldn't feel at ease now.
Originally, when Lin Yu traveled, he relied entirely on God to dispatch a professional transport plane pilot to transport him to the corresponding destination.
It was precisely because of this that Xilin believed that even if Tianming, who had not mastered the quantum teleportation system, wanted to ambush her, he would not be able to arrive at the scene in the first place.
But, but...
——Why can Lin Yu use the quantum teleportation system that only World Serpent and Anti-Entropy can use!
Have destiny and anti-entropy joined forces again?
This precious teleportation capability was given away just like that by the Anti-Entropy group?
He must have a problem with his brain if he cares about that guy!
But now, no matter how Xilin cursed the traitor who had betrayed her several times fourteen years ago and was still betraying her now, she had to face a reality.
Once the other party finds his coordinates, Lin Yu will still be able to attack him.
Although she could continue to use the Sky Key to retreat, but...
Bella, I can't wait.
If I go back now, Lin Yu will definitely be waiting there for me to take the bait.
But I'm not going back, Bella...
"My Queen, I'm fine."
Belenus noticed that Xilin's expression was wrong at this time, and gave Xilin a firm look.
"Everything I have was given by Her Majesty the Queen. Even if I lose consciousness again, I will continue to protect Her Majesty the Queen."
It’s just a pity that Miss Dragon, who didn’t understand human nature very well, had no idea that the words she used to comfort Xilin had instead become a catalyst for Xilin’s will to fight.
Xilin, who was deeply moved by her friend's comfort, now began to think about how to kill Raiden Mei and keep the Thunder of Conquest back in her body.
However, not long after she started thinking...
"This, this is?!"
