Chapter 335. No one... can stop me anymore...

After hearing that Ossiani hadn't mentioned Manila, Gu Yu finally felt a little relieved.

If the original timeline had been followed, Chen Tianwu and Anna Schariac would have awakened as the Herrscher of Earth and the Herrscher of Ice respectively during the Manila Collapse in 2015.

Then these two people will be completely unaware that they are Herrschers, and after two years, they will fully awaken in 2017.

Normally, it would take three years from the time the two awakened to when they fully became Herrschers.

But this world... what a load of rubbish.

Wendy was originally supposed to become a Herrscher in 2016, but in this timeline, she became a Herrscher in 2014.

If Gu Yu hadn't happened to know that Wendy was conducting human experiments at the Oceania branch, and hadn't arrived at the scene just in time to destroy Wendy's Herrscher personality and absorb all the Honkai energy, then the entire New Zealand would have been wiped out two years earlier.

Nothing bad has happened in Manila yet, at least there's no need to worry about those two Herrschers suddenly showing up.

Thinking about it this way, other things should be fine too... right?

After comforting herself, Gu Yu tried to adjust her tone and spoke to Ou Xiyani.

"As long as nothing happens in Manila..."

“Nothing happened in Manila, but something happened in New Zealand! Those gray monsters you mentioned before, what were they called again... right, Orphnoch.”

"In New Zealand, we discovered traces of orphin..."

trace……

trace……

These two words echoed incessantly in Gu Yu's head like a demonic chant.

He even lost the strength to move for a moment, and couldn't even hold his phone properly, letting it fall to the ground and make a big dent.

"Hey, Brother Gu? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing the "thump" sound, Ossiani immediately asked anxiously.

Don't scare me.

Wow, really? Is that weirdo named Orphnoch really that scary?

Even someone as powerful as Brother Gu was so scared that he couldn't even hold his phone?

That shouldn't be the case. Wendy was able to kill it without using Herrscher power, so it must be at least a Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

With Gu Di's strength in single-handedly killing a Herrscher, wouldn't dealing with these monsters be a piece of cake?

“Ossiani, I am Theresa.”

Seeing Gu Yu's expression of utter despair, Theresa walked to Gu Yu's bedside, picked up Gu Yu's phone with a cold face, and asked Ossiani across from her.

"Gu Yu's hand accidentally shook. Is there anything else?"

Of all times, this guy had to come at this time... to make things difficult for me!

I finally managed to persuade this brat to go and rest, and why did you have to say all this at this time!

Of course, she couldn't possibly yell these words at Ouxia in front of Gu Yu.

"Other things... to be honest, something's not right about this incident. Theresa, after your Far East branch dispatched two A-rank Valkyries to deal with the monster, a Honkai energy barrier appeared in the nearby mountains."

“Our Oceania branch attacked it with weapons, but it was useless. I suspect that this Honkai energy barrier might be related to the suddenly appearing Orphnoch.”

"Okay, I understand. Contact me again if anything comes up."

After Theresa hung up the phone, Ossiani looked at his phone, puzzled.

Strange, it's one thing that Brother Gu's voice trembled slightly.

Why did I feel like Theresa was gritting her teeth when we were talking just now?

Strange, last time I obediently listened to her and told her everything I knew.

No matter what, I didn't offend her. That murderous aura just now must have been my imagination.

After Theresa decisively hung up the phone, she handed the phone back to Gu Yu.

"Dean, why didn't you tell me about this?"

With a face full of despair, Gu Yu looked at Theresa in front of him and felt as if his emotions were about to collapse.

He had originally prepared to continue his actions, but after being comforted by Theresa, he gradually gave up the idea.

He had already planned how to spend his upcoming vacation.

Then, after he had mentally filled in all the things he wanted to eat and do, and drawn up a schedule...

He then received this news.

If he hadn't planned to rest in the first place, he wouldn't have broken down like this. But now...

This is no less than a student being told by their teacher in the last three minutes of winter break that they have to attend a month of make-up classes, with six classes a day and evening self-study sessions.

"Nonsense, Wendy and Lynn can kill that weirdo in one go without using Herrscher powers, what's there to worry about?"

It's actually quite worrying; the characteristics of these monsters are just too troublesome.

If we really let them slip out of New Zealand... no, if we let these monsters develop in New Zealand, something bad will definitely happen.

Either we deal with those who have been converted into Orphnochs, or...

—If Grandpa finds out about this, he might just raze New Zealand to the ground with a Honkai Impact Explosion.

Although she was extremely anxious inside, Theresa managed to keep her emotions from showing on her face.

That stigmata was incredibly useful for maintaining facial expressions. If Theresa hadn't known what she was thinking, she, who was now completely calm, would have thought that this was really not a big problem.

"Come on, Dean. You've seen the intelligence I gave them. The Orphnochs aren't strong, but the problem is that these monsters can transform into humans and kill them, with a chance of turning them into their own allies."

As Gu Yu struggled to get out of bed, he helplessly tried to adjust his mindset while continuing to speak to Theresa.

"Let's talk about resting later......"

"I need to go to the Oceania branch—they promised I'd be free to move around after the incident!"

"Lie back down and rest for a few days!"

At this moment, Gu Yu, who was about to leave the room, was pressed back down by Theresa.

But after Theresa said those words so forcefully, her voice suddenly softened.

"Please... just a few days will do..."

"I don't want to see their children suffer like this forever..."

Gu Yu, who was about to argue his case, saw something in Theresa's eyes that he had never seen before.

At this moment, Theresa, with tears in her eyes and a sobbing voice, was pleading with herself.

"I... understand... Dean, please stop using your supernatural powers."

After witnessing Theresa in such a vulnerable state, what else could Gu Yu say?

“I will stay at St. Freya Academy for the time being. But…”

"—I have to go to New Zealand again in three days."

"No one can stop me... absolutely no one..."

PS1: End of second update.

Chapter 336. I refuse to believe that with this setup, we can still suffer setbacks today!

After confirming that Gu Yu would finally stay in the dormitory, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief while maintaining her almost pleading attitude.

She was so anxious she almost cried—it was clearly impossible.

After failing to save Cecilia in her battle with Sirin, Theresa knew that tears were useless in crucial moments.

What good are tears, besides showing one's weakness and emboldening the enemy?

Therefore, she decided on that day that no matter how difficult things were, she would not shed any tears.

Of course, acting is an exception.

After all, these are special times. If pretending can keep this kid in St. Freya Academy, then what's wrong with acting cute... well, acting pitiful?

In the end, she made the right bet.

This kid really does respond better to gentle persuasion than force. If I encounter this situation again... I might as well swallow my pride and cry again.

"It's settled then—you'd better relax properly for at least these three days."

After wiping away her tears, Theresa immediately spoke decisively.

“If you think this incident is serious, I will gather manpower in the next three days. When the time comes, I will lead eight hundred Valkyries from the Far East Branch to the Oceania Branch and scatter the ashes of those Orphnochs.”

"No, there's no need for that..."

Seeing Theresa's face instantly vanish like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, Gu Yu looked at Theresa with a hint of suspicion.

The headmistress was so timid just a moment ago, how come she's suddenly turned back into that assertive person...?

That's weird.

Forget it, I don't want to.

"Now, Dean."

As if she had exhausted all her strength, Gu Yu said to Theresa.

"Let me have some peace and quiet... I'll be fine in a bit..."

"OK—you absolutely mustn't go charging in alone, okay? You promised!"

"understood."

At that moment, Theresa, who had closed the door, immediately picked up her personal communicator and dialed a number.
