"No, if possible, I personally don't want you to be the last one to make a move."

After hearing Gu Yu's words, Su immediately frowned and said.

“During this time, I reviewed the data remaining at other World Serpent bases. According to the data analyzed by Patrick Highsmith, your [Herrscher of Fusion Core] may create other unexpected events.”

After thinking about the information he had seen, Su continued.

"When Dr. Mei created the thirteenth Divine Key, she noticed something terrifying. The Herrscher consciousness within the core of this Divine Key could not be erased."

"The reason he chose to be easily defeated by humans in the end was so that he could become a key of God. And a Herrscher of Fusion can gradually fuse everything through their Herrscher powers."

"Dr. Mei's methods for erasing this Herrscher's personality have all been integrated into it. After discovering this Herrscher's true intentions, Dr. Mei took the initiative to seal it away."

"Therefore, with the core and the thirteenth divine key at this moment, you should theoretically possess a Herrscher personality within you that is even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Herrscher. I think even you haven't been able to completely eliminate it yet, have you?"

"...As expected of the research director of the Fire-Chasing Moth, I really couldn't hide this from you."

Listening to Su's analysis, Gu Yu leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Even now, I can still feel that thing running rampant inside my body. Heh, but if I give up this Divine Key, I might lose my power."

"If I lose my power after the battle, that's one thing, but before the final battle... at least for now, this power is still a necessity for me."

"That's why I said it's better not to continue using your power for now."

At that moment, Walter also spoke to Gu Yu with an extremely sincere expression.

"You've done enough. Leave the rest of the end to us."

"Yeah, I'd love to too. But honestly... do you guys think this is a sure thing?"

Upon hearing Gu Yu's question, a hint of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across their faces.

Although the two wanted to persuade Gu Yu to retire and return to his hometown, they were not entirely confident that they could completely defeat the Herrscher of the End.

In the previous era, due to the hatred of the Moth Warriors, the Twelfth Herrscher, Bell, fully awakened and eventually slaughtered humanity, leaving only three cities.

The situation in this era is clearly much better than in the previous one.

Herrschers who are hostile to humans are either destroyed by Gu Yu, who shatters their Herrscher personalities, or their Herrscher bodies and personalities are destroyed together.

Most of humanity's infrastructure is well-preserved. For Su, who survived from the previous era to this one, the feeling of abundant resources is amazing!

He no longer needs to worry about insufficient resources to maintain the Moon Throne!

Don't worry about the soldiers not having enough medicine materials!

Because of Otto's death, the HSN serum could be used freely. After the mass production of the HSN serum came into being, almost all of humanity in this era that had been corrupted by the Honkai were saved!

The person is still alive, the infrastructure is perfect, and if there were enough time, Sue even felt that she could continue to improve the Moon Throne a little more.

But now, time waits for no one.

Even though three of the four people present were Herrschers, the three traitors still didn't know when the Honkai God, the nominal leader of the Herrschers, would send the Herrscher of the End to this world.

They must prepare everything they can in the shortest possible time.

Only in this way can humanity in this era, having obtained such favorable conditions, possibly defeat the Herrscher of the End.

"So, I'm perfectly prepared. It's not for any other reason, it's just that... even in a video game, if you get knocked down by a boss when you're almost at the end, you'd feel bad, right?"

After gently patting the two of them on the shoulders, Gu Yu smiled weakly and said...

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll use this time to rest and recuperate. If you succeed, then I naturally won't need to participate in the final battle."

"But if something unexpected happens... ha, what am I jinxing? The geniuses of the previous and current eras are already working together to research ways to counter the Herrscher of the End. The probability of me intervening is so low, I might as well just slack off until the battle is over."

"Is that so... That makes sense. Our current lineup is strong enough. There's no need to be discouraged before the battle even begins."

After glancing at the young man in front of him, Walter spoke to Su.

"Then, let's head back now. Mr. Gu Yu, please take care."

"Ah, take care."

After seeing Gu Yu lie back down on the sofa, Su activated the Thousand Realms One Ride's instantaneous teleportation ability, moving the two of them from the Destiny Headquarters to the Anti-Entropy Ark.

After the two left, Gu Yu glanced at the holy mark on his right hand and said nothing more.

Just now, he could feel that his right hand had switched to the black holy mark, and it emitted a momentary stinging pain.

If nothing unexpected happens...

—Heh, someone's stirring up trouble again, isn't that right?

………………

Reverse Entropy. Between Arks

Upon returning to the Ark, Sue and Walter immediately lost their composure.

The two of them went to Tianming today not only to act in a play with Gu Yu, but also to exchange information and observe Gu Yu's physical condition.

However, now, through their conversation with Gu Yu, the two of them have come to a complete understanding.

His body was now in an even more severe state of Honkai energy disorder.

What's worse is that after confirming that Gu Yu is a Fusion Herrscher, the treatment plan previously proposed by Dr. Maki is now completely unusable.

The Herrscher of Fusion is a Herrscher specifically dispatched by Honkai to deal with Fusion Warriors and Divine Keys.

This Herrscher didn't have much power when she was first born; after all, she was basically just there to be sacrificed.

The Fusion Herrscher will only truly begin to act when others treat it merely as a special weapon, the Divine Key.

He will unconsciously merge with the consciousness and personality of the original host, making them feel that they should be the apostle of the Honkai.

At the same time, he can also fuse the power of other Herrschers, integrating it into his own body and using it as his own ability.

In other words, if Gu Yu had chosen the previous option of injecting the [Tranquility Gem], he might have felt a little better.

However, once the two broken Apostle cores resonate within one body, the fusion core will definitely seize the opportunity to devour the Tranquil Gem core.

At that time, the Herrscher core, possessing two core powers, will find it easier to fuse with the host's consciousness.

Under such circumstances, if Gu Yu were to use the core of the Herrscher of Death to survive, then it wouldn't be Gu Yu who would live, but rather the Herrscher of Fusion of this era.

On that day, the Herrscher of Fusion who wields this terrifying power...

—It would probably take gathering all the world's top combat forces to completely defeat it.

Chapter 694. Anomaly

To be honest, after having similar thoughts, the two of them both gave a wry smile.

Gu Yu had clearly dealt with most of the Herrschers of this era, yet now they were beginning to be wary of him and pondering how to defeat him.

What makes it even more painful for the two of them is that this possibility is not low. Even if they don't want to do it emotionally, they cannot make all choices based on their emotions for the sake of the world.

Their current circumstances dictate that they must make a careful decision, therefore...

"Ugh, wait... damn it, what's going on!"

"What...what exactly happened?"

The two, who had intended to continue thinking, now felt the strange changes within their bodies and looked at each other in disbelief.

Subsequently, they confirmed that the same thing had happened to the other.

"The Herrscher core within me is still there. But the Herrscher powers within me..."

"It has completely disappeared."

After failing to activate her Herrscher powers, Sue attempted to deploy the Imaginary Barrier, which only Herrschers could use.

Subsequently, Su failed as expected.

"Even the imaginary number barrier is unusable..."

Even after failing to activate his ability, Su could still feel that the core of the Herrscher of Rock within her body was still operating at overload.

"My Herrscher of Reason core is going crazy... Strange, what on earth is happening?!"

After confirming this terrible fact, Walter immediately turned on his communicator and tried to contact the other Herrschers to find out about their situation.

But at that moment, as if sensing danger, he suddenly threw the communicator in his hand aside.

As Walter did this, the communicator he had just thrown out exploded in mid-air.

"Honkai energy explosion, this... something's not right. My communicator has been hijacked. This is... the core power of the Herrscher of Corruption?"

"The Herrscher of Corruption... There's no need for Himeko to be our enemy. Yae Sakura is our ally, and the core of the Herrscher of Corruption in this era is in Kouyu's hands."

"Even the Herrscher Core in Mr. Gu Yu's possession has been taken away from him?!"

If this was the turmoil before the appearance of the Herrscher of the End...

—The Honkai, it seems they won't let this era off so easily after all?

………………

Meanwhile, the Kaslana clan

After Gu Yu replaced Otto as [Otto Apocalypse], Siegfried and Cecilia secretly returned to the Kaslana and Shaniat families.

Under Otto's suggestion, the two used swift and decisive measures to subdue the remaining discontented members of the two families. They then began to get the two families to fully cooperate with Theresa's Apocalypse clan, who were being suppressed, and to dedicate their power to fighting against the Honkai.

But at this moment, inside the Kaslana clan's chieftain's chamber, Siegfried recalled the words his wife had spoken with a cold face that day, and sighed helplessly for what seemed to be the umpteenth time today.

"Alas, what can be done?"

Then, he looked at his partner Masakazu, who was assisting him, and suddenly asked the bored Masakazu a question.

"Hey bro..."

“Intersection”.

"Oh, hey bro, have you ever been in this situation? You've upset your wife, and she's so angry she wants to give you the silent treatment or even divorce you. What would you do?"

Listening to Siegfried's troubles, Masakazu silently materialized the transformation ring at his waist and then performed his Apparition Transformation right in front of Siegfried.

"You know my situation. I committed a crime when I was young and was imprisoned for twenty years. I've been living a life of growth, and you're showing off your wife in front of me?"

"Siegfried, I'm warning you, my power of light evolves through anger. Don't push me...wait...wait?"
