However, Walter could not remain inactive.
The possibility of a Herrscher appearing means that a large-scale collapse could erupt at any time in the location where a Herrscher might appear.
Unless the Honkai eruption occurs in a remote and desolate area, the Honkai energy unleashed by a Herrscher upon awakening will turn most of the surrounding humans into undead.
Entropy had only received the lightweight formula for the anti-Honkai serum from Gu Yu less than a week ago. Under these circumstances, even if they had already started putting this serum into clinical trials, they would not be able to mass-produce it immediately.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Walter decided to go and see New Zealand.
If he doesn't need to intervene, he can return to Anti-Entropy at any time. After all, although he's in poor condition right now, with his abilities and combat experience, there shouldn't be many people in this world who can stop him.
If we need his help... then he's come to the right place, so what else is there to say?
In any case, the Herrscher core must not fall into Otto's hands; this is his bottom line.
Now, although we don't know where the Herrscher Core is, Welt, who sensed the great battle earlier, can at least confirm that the Herrscher Core should not have been recovered by the Far East Branch.
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't do anything reckless. Compared to that, I think..."
"Who goes there!"
Just as Walter was about to have Einstein and Tesla organize people to treat Gu Yu, he suddenly turned stern and threw Gu Yu, whom he had just been holding with one hand, aside.
The next second, a silver blade of light burst forth from in front of Gu Yu, slashing directly at Walter's neck.
"Eden's Star!"
Just as the blade was about to sever his neck, Walter immediately conjured the Ninth Divine Key, the Star of Eden, and used it to manipulate the surrounding gravity, causing the blade to deflect from his neck.
However, although the knife did not touch Walter's skin, it still managed to sever the flesh on his neck from a distance.
Upon witnessing this, Tesla and Einstein immediately began to retreat frantically.
It wasn't that they weren't worried about Walter, but rather that they had no other choice under the circumstances.
Even though Welt was severely injured in the Sea of Quanta and is in very poor condition now, even if his strength has declined, he is still a righteous Herrscher who has used the Herrscher Core for decades.
His physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary pseudo-Herrschers, and at the same time, as a seasoned Herrscher, Welt always keeps the standard Herrscher skill, [Imaginary Barrier], active.
In this situation, the opponent was still able to cut through Welt's Herrscher body through the imaginary barrier - no matter how you look at it, this person is a ruthless character. If the two of them didn't keep their distance and were taken hostage, wouldn't Welt be even more passive?
Shouting and worrying like the heroine in a melodramatic play will only drag down her teammates. These two are genius scientists with outstanding IQs, so why would they choose to hold them back at such a crucial moment?
After manipulating the surrounding gravity with the Star of Eden, Walter finally saw the enemy's figure clearly.
"What do you intend to do to Mr. Gu Yu?"
The woman with cherry-haired hair who had just attacked Walter was now holding a katana in her right hand and holding Gu Yu in her left, staring at Walter with extreme vigilance.
"You are……"
Although Walter read hostility... no, it should be said that he could already see murderous intent in the woman's eyes, after hearing her words, he suddenly felt that this person was not an enemy.
Is there such a powerful pseudo-Herrscher by Mr. Gu Yu's side?
No wonder he dares to fight so recklessly in normal times. If he had insurance, his past extreme behaviors seem understandable.
Yae Sakura naturally did not respond to Walter's question.
Seeing the other party's wary attitude, Walter put away the Star of Eden and said to Yae Sakura with a wry smile.
“Miss, I have no ill intentions toward Mr. Gu Yu. In fact, he rescued me from the Sea of Quanta a few days ago, which allowed me to return to this world.”
"Oh? So your attitude towards your savior is to just kidnap him and take him back to your hometown?"
Upon hearing this, Yae Sakura's vigilance deepened.
Do you think I'm a fool who would be fooled by your nonsense?
Ah, that's true.
After all, what I'm doing now is indeed a bit... well, it's normal to be misunderstood.
"Alright, alright, so what does this young lady intend to do?"
After observing Gu Yu's current condition, Walter continued.
"Mr. Gu Yu is not in good condition. If possible, I personally suggest that we let him..."
He should get his health treated properly...
It was a perfectly reasonable suggestion, but after Walter said those words, Yae Sakura's distrust deepened.
"About six months ago, Otto also used this rhetoric to try and deceive Mr. Gu Yu."
Wow, Otto, that bastard, why does he have to do something disgusting to us even in a place like this?
"Alright, if you really don't want to trust me, then I can arrange transportation to take you back..."
"Who knows if you'll tamper with the vehicle? I've seen plenty of modern movies where bombs are planted in vehicles!"
"Open the gates to this base and let me out. The rest is none of your concern!"
"If you don't agree..."
At that moment, the three people present simultaneously felt a chilling killing intent erupting from Yae Sakura.
"Even if it means death, I will bring Mr. Gu Yu out of here!"
--------
PS1: First update. I really don't think Jackal, who's been a World Serpent executive for so long, could possibly be a mentally challenged brother...
To be honest, my initial thoughts were similar to yours. After all, when I first returned to Honkai Impact 3, I took one look...
Oh ho, a demon scientist with exceptional research abilities, this guy must be a formidable character, right?
Normally speaking, I think my way of thinking is quite normal.
Then the more I read the main storyline, the more something felt off, so I went to read the Chongqing Holiday comic...
Those who have seen this should understand what kind of expression I have.
Chapter 366. What a huge car front...
Faced with the murderous Yae Sakura, what could the three of them say?
Because of preconceived notions, this cherry-haired woman had clearly developed a great misunderstanding about them.
The words Walter inadvertently uttered probably made Yae Sakura think that he and Otto were birds of a feather.
If he continues to explain now, he will only make things worse.
In this situation, forcibly keeping the other party will only lead to unnecessary misunderstandings later on.
Walter doesn't necessarily want to keep Gu Yu here. If they really fight this woman, Walter and the others will probably have a headache when Gu Yu wakes up.
Since this pseudo-Herrscher can follow Gu Yu around, it can only mean that Gu Yu trusts her very much.
From the woman's words and actions, Walter could also sense that she harbored deep feelings for Gu Yu.
Whether it's love or not, I don't know. But anyone who can say something like, "Even if I die, I will bring Mr. Gu Yu out of here!" is probably in a relationship with Gu Yu that's at least as close as lovers.
Ah, thinking about it carefully, isn't Mei in a lot of danger?
No, no, now is not the time to think about this.
At this moment, Welt, sensing the Honkai energy erupting from Yae Sakura, suddenly remembered a few things.
The first thing—when he was teaching at St. Freya Academy under the alias Joachim, he sensed the presence of several Herrschers at the home of his student Himeko Murata before he left.
His first reaction was that he was mistaken.
St. Freya Academy, how could there possibly be four Herrschers besides myself? Hahahaha.
As it turns out...
The second thing—after returning to Anti-Entropy, he obtained information about Schicksal's recent activities from his reliable subordinate, Raiden Ryoma.
Besides Yuno Azuma and Mei Raiden, who are Herrschers at St. Freya Academy, Wendy, an A-rank Valkyrie who originally belonged to the Far East Branch but was transferred to the Oceania Branch after graduation, awakened as the Fourth Herrscher during that time.
Then, the day before Walter returned to Anti-Entropy, the girl, who had been awakened by Gu Yu, returned to St. Freya Academy...
Okay, the third person has been found.
Next up—the fourth Herrscher is this cherry-haired woman in front of us.
During his time teaching, Welt sensed that a pseudo-Herrscher core had awakened within his student, Yuno Azuma.
Meanwhile, the woman in front of Welt had clearly also condensed her Herrscher Core.
From this perspective...
So many terrifying forces have gathered around Mr. Gu Yu?!
Walter, increasingly convinced that something was amiss, immediately gave a signal to Einstein, who was far away.
“Alright, miss, since you don’t trust us, Anti-Entropy, then we will do as you request and guide you to the main gate of headquarters, and then let you and Mr. Gu Yu leave.”
After rubbing his hair, Einstein said...
"But please keep the location of our headquarters a secret after you leave. If you can agree to this request, then we will naturally not stand in your way."
"After all, Mr. Gu Yu has helped us reverse entropy many times. Our executor of reverse entropy, Lei Dian Long Ma, has had his life saved by him three times."
"Furthermore, the Alliance Leader Walter was rescued from the Sea of Quanta by him, and the debt of gratitude he owes us can never be repaid."
“We are not the kind of heartless people like Otto. If you think this is the best thing for Mr. Gu Yu, then we will definitely not stop you.”
It must be said that after Einstein brought up the name Raiden Ryoma and used the word "request" to imply his attitude, he did see Yae Sakura's previously furrowed brows relax a bit.
"Mei's father...is a staff member here?"
"And this place is reverse entropy?"
Upon hearing those two names, Yae Sakura remained vigilant, but managed to suppress the killing intent that had previously erupted from her.
After Yae Rin healed Bronya's body, everyone in the dormitory learned about the series of actions Kou Yu took.
At that time, Yae Sakura probably guessed from Gu Yu's words that Gu Yu and the people of Anti-Entropy seemed to have a good relationship.
In addition, Mei had mentioned in casual conversations that she had a busy but loving father, and Yae Sakura naturally remembered all of this.
So now it seems... what the other party said might actually not be a lie?
