Yae Sakura, her fists clenched tightly, closed her eyes in pain and spoke.

"If we, who have not fully mastered the power of the Herrscher, recklessly approach a place where the Honkai might erupt, the most likely outcome is not to become Mr. Gu Yu's help, but rather to become his burden."

“Mr. Gu Yu is not a heartless person. If something happens to me, he will definitely choose to save me—even if it puts himself in danger.”

"What's the point of us going there if that time really comes?!"

"I don't want to just sit here and wait, but..."

"There is nothing I can do about this matter!"

Seeing Yae Sakura in immense pain, Mei's words caught in her throat, unable to utter a single syllable.

She really wanted to argue with Himeko-sensei, and she also wanted to chase after her and say that she wanted to fight alongside Kouyu.

However, after everyone analyzed the situation, she suddenly realized that she was currently unable to become Gu Yu's strength in this operation.

Yes, right now she's just an unstable bomb that could be devoured by the Herrscher's consciousness at any moment.

She...can't do anything...

"So, get stronger, little girls."

Seeing the disappointed expressions on the girls' faces, Himeko hugged Yuno and Mei.

"I can understand your impatience and anxiety, but right now you are still just unripe fruits."

"Once you become outstanding warriors, sooner or later he will need your strength."

……

After walking a distance with Theresa, Gu Yu suddenly stopped.

"They probably can't hear us here. Just say what you need to say, Dean."

Are you sure you want to help Grandpa resolve this matter?

After stopping, Theresa turned around and looked at Gu Yu with great seriousness.

"This matter is not that simple."

"Grandpa didn't intend to retrieve the gem; he wanted to use the opportunity to cause a collapse."

"Just like what Cocolia did to Changkong City last time."

After saying this, Theresa waited quietly for Gu Yu's reaction, and then...

"Huh? That's it? I already knew that."

Theresa was stunned when Gu Yu said those words with an indifferent expression.

"You knew he was going to cause chaos and you still went to die???"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch those two bastards, Cocolia and Otto, team up and kill millions more people???"

After letting out a slight sigh, Gu Yu said helplessly.

“I’m not a good person. After my parents died, I wallowed in self-pity for a long time before I found what I should do.”

"It was one thing to lack the ability before, but now that you have it, and you even know that the Honkai is about to happen, do you expect me to just stand by and watch?"

"Forget it, there's no ethical problem with this, but I just can't get over it in my heart."

After giving a wry laugh, Gu Yu looked up at the sky and said in a self-deprecating tone.

"An idiot like me will probably get himself killed sooner or later."

"But now I'm sure it's something I can do. If I can, I'd like to give it a try."

"I'm speechless. You're just like your father, always courting death."

After looking at Gu Yu, Theresa said with a hint of resignation.

"Alright, I've given you my advice. You'll regret it later."

Yeah, you really are an idiot.

But it is precisely because of idiots like you that this world becomes a better place.

If Mr. Gu could see you now, he would be able to rest in peace in the afterlife.

PS1: I checked the backend... um, the Tranquility Gem is the core of the Herrscher of Death, if I remember correctly...

PS2: I'm going to grab some instant noodles, refuel, and then continue...

I don't know if Gu Yu will regret it later, but I definitely regret it now.

I'm such an idiot!

Chapter 84. Illusion

Headquarters of Destiny

After putting down her phone, Rita Rossweisse looked awkwardly at the blond man beside her and said helplessly.

"Lord Otto, I am truly sorry that you heard such vulgar language."

"It's alright. Gu Yu is young and impetuous. It's no big deal if he says a few swear words."

Otto, sitting on the sofa next to Rita, swirled his wine glass and chuckled softly.

"I am absolutely not angry."

"Absolutely not."

After hearing Otto emphasize twice that he wasn't angry, Rita knew that her boss was furious.

It's understandable, though, since Gu Yu's words were indeed very offensive to Otto.

If an ordinary person said that, Otto would just think they were a mad dog and laugh it off.

However, Otto, who had fought Gu Yu before, knew very well that the other party really had the ability to beat him up again.

Although Otto lost his last battle with Gu Yu, he obtained information about the Stigmata in exchange for that defeat.

but……

Soul Steel bodies are incredibly precious, okay?!

He had to expend an entire soul steel body each time, and the information he gained was uncertain, making it difficult for Otto to accept this outcome.

"Alright, it doesn't matter what Gu Yu said. In the end, just as I predicted, he chose to accept this mission."

"Everything is under my control."

"Yes, just as Lord Otto predicted."

Rita bowed slightly to the leader of destiny in front of her and asked respectfully.

"Your Excellency, now that the pieces have been placed, what is your next move?"

"Hmm... let me think about it."

After a moment's thought, Otto spoke to the girl in front of him.

"Contact Durandal and have her do everything in her power to get to the vicinity of the small country of ROS to prepare for the Fourth Honkai Impact."

"And you, you will arrive in the country of ROS before Gu Yu, to be his guide."

"Guide?"

After hearing Otto's second instruction, Rita asked, slightly puzzled.

“Lord Otto, I don’t quite understand. You should know very well that Mr. Gu Yu is very wary of me. If I go to the mission location…aren’t you afraid of provoking him?”

"Ha, you don't understand, Rita."

After gently pouring the red wine into his mouth, Otto leaned back lazily on the sofa and closed his eyes.

“I know that kid is very wary. That’s why I sent you to be by his side.”

“With you there, that kid will definitely treat you as someone who is spying on him, and thus focus his attention on you.”

"At this point, do you think he still has much attention elsewhere?"

After hearing Otto's plan, Rita finally understood.

"I understand. All I need to do is attract Mr. Gu Yu's attention. You'll leave the rest to someone else?"

"Indeed, let us set off now, my knight."

"understood."

After watching Rita leave the Schicksal headquarters, Otto picked up the communicator next to him and dialed a number.

After the other party answered the call, Otto smiled and said to them.

"It's been a long time since we last contacted each other, old friend."

"Forget it, we're hardly friends. Just say what you have to say."

Otto was not surprised by the other party's aloof attitude.

After all, she has always had this attitude since they met.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the working relationship between the two anyway.

"You're always so quick to speak. Sometimes, slowing down the pace of life isn't a bad thing."

"I'm contacting you again because Dr. Magee took the Tranquility Gem. I've already sent that kid to ROS, and I hope you..."

"—It can serve as a second line of defense for this mission, bringing back both the gem and Dr. Magee."

"Of course, there's one more small thing."

At this point, a dangerous glint flashed in Otto's eyes.

"I can ask you, for my sake..."

Should I use [Feather] on him once?
