"Grandpa, what brings you here? Have you encountered another Gastrea that you can't handle?"

As soon as Lin Yu entered the room, he casually called out. With his strength, dealing with Stage III was not a difficult task at all, and there were no Stage IVs around. So, the cases that required his attention this week were basically all Stage III cases.

"Ok?"

Lin Yu frowned and looked around. The conference room was now full of people, but it was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere was too heavy!

"come yet?"

Kikunojo Tendo was the first to break the silence. Although his expression rarely changed, Lin Yu could still see a solemn look on it.

"what happened?"

Although Lin Yu has a rather easygoing personality, he can still distinguish between what's important and what's not. The current atmosphere is clearly not right, so he certainly won't continue with his carefree attitude.

Da, da, da.

Kikunojo Tendo tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair, the soft sound carrying clearly to everyone's ears in the quiet room.

Kikunojo Tendo glanced at Lin Yu, then focused his gaze on Shana beside him.

Unlike others, outsiders may always see Lin Yu as the protector of the Tokyo area, but Kikunojo Tendo is very clear that while this idea is not wrong, it overlooks an existence that is even more important than Lin Yu!

Shana!

While Lin Yu's presence greatly reduced the army's losses, it was by no means enough for Tendo Kikunojo to treat him as a guardian deity. In the end, Lin Yu's strength was more than enough to deal with Phase III, but whether he could handle Phase IV was another matter, not to mention anything else.

What truly made Kikunojo Tendo treat Lin Yu this way was actually Shana, the little girl who had always been by his side but never showed her true colors!

If he hadn't fought alongside the two of them, even Kikunojo Tendo probably wouldn't have imagined that a young girl like Shana could possess such terrifying strength.

Now, such terrifying strength has become their last lifeline.

"Take a look at the big screen."

Kikunojo Tendo stared at Shana for a long time before speaking, only after Shana frowned in displeasure.

Lin Yu curled his lip, too lazy to argue with this pretentious old man, and turned his gaze directly to the projection screen in the conference room.

After Kikunojo Tendo spoke, a somewhat chaotic video began playing on the screen. In what should have been a tranquil mountain range, humans had built a long defensive line using the terrain. Outside the line, countless Gastrea were desperately attacking the soldiers on the position.

"Is this a battle commanded by higher Gastrea? We should have encountered such individuals before, so why is the atmosphere so tense? What is he trying to show me?"

The video was obviously edited. Lin Yu watched it patiently, and soon fighter jets flew in from the sky. Just as the soldiers began to cheer, beams of blue and purple light shot into the sky, destroying all of these weapons of war that humanity had once been proud of in less than a minute.

"Could this beam of light be...!"

Lin Yu's eyes widened. He recognized the beam of light on the screen; he had seen it before in this world. If he remembered correctly, the creature capable of shooting out such a beam of light was the special Gastrea from the original story.

Pleiades!

Lin Yu silently uttered the name of this special Gastrea in his mind, and at the same time, his expression became even more solemn as he looked at the video.

"Since Pleiades is in the video, then the one attacking this defense line is..."

The moment Lin Yu had already arrived at his answer, the enormous Stage V Gastrea, 'Taurus', finally appeared!

"We classified gastrulation animals according to their regenerative capacity."

A soldier explained, "The lowest level is Phase I, and the highest is Phase V. The one shown in the video is one of the only 11 in the entire world at Phase V."

At this point, the soldier fell silent for a moment, and the video showed the Taurus tearing a huge gap in the defense line.

"That strong?"

Lin Yu stared in astonishment at the destruction caused by Taurus. In the original story, Taurus was killed by the first-ranked Initiator before it even appeared. He never expected it to be so powerful. Regardless of its powerful regenerative ability, its destructive power alone was definitely greater than that of an ordinary Crimson World King!

"This is tricky!"

Not only Lin Yu, but even Shana frowned. Her strength was more inclined towards small-scale attacks. This kind of monster with a huge size and extremely amazing recovery ability could be said to be her weakness. After all, no matter how amazing the attack power is, the damage caused is limited. The damage caused by the first strike has already healed before the second strike, so no matter how much she attacks, it will not have any effect.

"You didn't call us here because this monster is heading this way, did you?"

Lin Yu looked at Kikunojo Tendo with a forced smile. Although his strength had increased considerably, Stage V was still somewhat beyond his capabilities. Only Shana might have a chance to kill this thing if she unleashed her full power. He believed that the Initiator ranked number one in the original work was probably not killed by conventional methods either, as the power level in this world was not yet at that level.

Although he asked that question, Lin Yu already knew the answer. Just as he was about to shift the blame to Shana, Alaya, who had been silent all along, suddenly flew in front of him...

[Please recommend and tip!]

102. Determination

"This first phase V is named 'Taurus,' and apart from 'Cancer,' which is vacant, the other ten phases V are also given the names of the zodiac."

Lin Yu appeared to be listening attentively to the introduction, but his attention was actually on the little creature in front of him that was flapping its wings slightly.

"You're not going to tell me there's another mission?"

Lin Yu's lips twitched twice, and he whispered to the little guy in front of him that he had already calculated that Alaya coming out at this time was definitely not a good thing.

"It's not a mandatory task!"

Alaya smiled gracefully and slowly said, "Consider this a reminder. In fact, killing in any world is rewarded. We will determine how much reward you will receive based on the strength and number of enemies you kill."

Lin Yu blinked, not quite understanding for a moment. When he came to his senses, he almost jumped up.

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"If I had told you earlier, were you going to drag Shana along to grind for points?"

Alaya rolled her eyes at Lin Yu, clearly having already guessed what Lin Yu would do after finding out.

"Ahem, let's put that aside for now. What happened to my previous reward?"

Lin Yu blushed and cleverly changed the subject.

Do you think we offer you help without any cost?

The little guy continued rolling his eyes, and Lin Yu thought to himself with a hint of malice that it would be funny if he suddenly passed out.

"Your previous rewards barely offset the help we provided you. For example, Ice Flame and Zero Hour Child were abilities and equipment that were borrowed in advance. In fact, your reward points are not enough. Shouldn't we deduct them back?"

Alaya looked thoughtful, and although Lin Yu knew she was faking it, he still had to admit defeat.

"Ye-chan is the best to us, so he definitely won't deduct our rewards anymore, right?"

Lin Yu blinked pitifully. With so many people in the conference room, if he changed his expression all by himself, he'd probably be considered crazy.

"As long as you're willing to take down that guy on the screen, I won't deduct your points."

Alaya nodded in satisfaction, but still made her own demands.

"Then you should just deduct it, I can't do it!"

Lin Yu looked helpless. He had thought about it too, but the problem was that Taurus was such a big Gastrea that it was practically a big BOSS with high attack and high health. Although he knew that there would be a generous reward for killing it, the problem was that Lin Yu estimated that even if that guy stood still, he wouldn't be able to kill it!

Lin Yu's damage output is probably not even keeping up with Taurus's healing speed. How the hell am I supposed to fight this?

"Silly girl, didn't we help you convert your power? Now that Seven Deadly Sins curse is your power. Otherwise, why do you think I made you kill that monster?"

Alaya looked at him with a disappointed expression, while Lin Yu said his mind was a bit of a mess.

"You mean you can defeat it using the power of the Seven Deadly Sins? But I don't know how to use it!"

Although the reward is tempting, you have to be capable of getting it, right? Lin Yu didn't even dare to touch the power of the Flame of Sin; the feeling of being burned by that thing twice before was not pleasant.

"How you use your power is up to you. All I can tell you is that you possess the power to defeat that monster, nothing more!"

Alaya's expression became solemn.

"Make your decision. Will you go yourself or rely on Shana's power? Let me make it clear beforehand: if Shana takes action, there will still be a reward, but it will be halved!"

Lin Yu fell silent. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for him to defeat Taurus with his current strength. But was he really only able to rely on Shana's power?

Lin Yu turned his gaze to Shana, who had been silent all along, and the latter took the initiative to hold Lin Yu's hand.

Although she didn't say a word, Lin Yu understood what Xia Na meant: she would support him no matter what choice he made!

This is Shana's answer!

She didn't need Lin Yu to force herself; she preferred to use her own strength to help Lin Yu achieve victory!

hiss!

Lin Yu took a deep breath and then abruptly stood up.

"No need for further introductions."

Lin Yu interrupted the soldier who was still explaining the information about Taurus.

All eyes in the conference room were on Lin Yu, who smiled faintly.

"In short, this monster is about to launch an attack on the Tokyo area, is that right?"

No one knew Lin Yu's true intentions except for Shana, not even Kikunojo Tendo.

"That's right, what's your opinion?"

Tendo Kikunojo and Lin Yu looked at each other, wondering what this young man with amazing strength wanted to do.

"So."

Lin Yu looked around and said with absolute confidence, "I will defeat it!"

The firm and confident words silenced the meeting room, and the high-ranking officials present all looked speechless.

"Mr. Lin Yu, do you really understand the power of Taurus?"

A middle-aged man in a suit stood up.

"While we appreciate your contributions to the Tokyo area during this time, Taurus is different from the Phase III enemies you previously defeated; its defenses can even withstand a nuclear attack!"

This middle-aged man wasn't looking for trouble; he was offering heartfelt advice. It could be said that everyone present, except for Kikunojo Tendo who placed his hopes on Shana, held a pessimistic attitude. So much so that this middle-aged man's previous idea was simply that Lin Yu could save as many survivors as possible after the defenses in the Tokyo area completely collapsed.

The Tokyo area, which has just experienced a major war, can hardly withstand another disaster.

"I see!"

The middle-aged man wanted to say something more, but Lin Yu interrupted him.

Lin Yu met his gaze without flinching, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

He was perfectly clear that since Alaya had told him personally that he possessed the strength to defeat Taurus, it must be true. All he needed to do was turn this possibility into reality, nothing more!

"I know what I need to do, so I'll be the one to defeat it!"

Lin Yu's words were resolute.
