I'm not Yingjie

"coax!!!"

The sea surface beneath his feet and the clouds in the sky were swept away in a circle by this blow that could destroy the city. It even pushed the sea surface downward, tearing apart the creatures hiding in the deep sea.

"Splash..." The sea surface closed up again after a long time.

"Hahaha……"

Her wings hung dimly behind her, and the Fourth Herrscher's eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for the giant shadow of the nightmare.

No.

The surroundings were empty, which meant that it was destroyed by her?

Should have done that earlier...

"Bang!" The cold alloy stuck to her skin.

A familiar force came from her shoulders, and this time, she couldn't even resist. Her wings and arms were...

It was torn off forcefully.

Lin sat in the cockpit, staring silently at the Fourth Herrscher falling into the sea.

The battle is over.

Chapter 10 Traitor

Lin stepped out of the cockpit and jumped onto the Titan's cupped hands.

The waves were still surging fiercely. Lin looked up at the scorching sun after the clouds were dispersed, then lowered his head and looked at the Fourth Herrscher who had lost both arms and was lying on the Titan's arms.

Delta didn't lie to Lin, he did strengthen Titan's arm output.

Originally, the Fourth Herrscher should have been torn in half by him, but this time the Herrscher's body was strong enough to paralyze the Titan's lower body with one punch, so he could only break the joints.

Of course, Lin had no intention of killing her outright.

The Fourth Herrscher was very different from the previous three, whether in the way it was born or in the addition of humanity, which gave Lin many more guesses.

"Click."

Lin pulled out her pistol and loaded it, then walked up to the lying Fourth Herrscher. There was still some fear on her face, but it was disappearing very quickly. The familiar "inhuman" look of the Herrscher returned to her face.

It was as if she had transformed from a fearful human being into a fearless god.

"Lin, your organs are abnormal and the concentration of Honkai energy is too high. Please return to the cockpit immediately."

Prometheus' warning reminded Lin in time that after a series of inhumane extreme operations with the Titan, his consciousness and body were on the verge of collapse. At this time, being in the high-concentration Honkai energy environment next to the Herrscher was equivalent to reducing his lifespan of only four years every second.

The nosebleed that began to flow also verified what Prometheus said. He was able to stand because the neural connection with Prometheus shared his load. If it was released at this time, he might be overwhelmed by the blocked tide-like load and unable to move.

Lin hesitated, then he nodded and pointed the gun at the Fourth Herrscher's forehead.

She looked miserable. The two swords that were originally stuck in her chest had disappeared due to her attack. Only two hideous wounds were left, and the shoulder area connected to her arms was bloody.

Apart from that, she had no other external injuries. Like the third Herrscher, she was attacked after the Herrscher Core was fully utilized and entered a state of temporary weakness.

"Who are you?" Lin asked the Fourth Herrscher who was under the black muzzle of the gun.

He has the "pre-life" information of the Fourth Herrscher, that is, the people on the wrecked ship he found, before they became the Herrscher.

At this moment, Lin stared at the name on the viewing window, waiting for the Fourth Herrscher's answer.

However, he was answered with silence.

"..."

"..."

Lin and the Fourth Herrscher looked at each other. Her eyes seemed to be frosted over. She had no emotions at all. She was just looking at herself, a human being.

"Do you still have your memories?"

"..."

The cruel sneers that once appeared on the face of the Fourth Herrscher were just Lin's illusions. How could human cruelty appear on the face of a broken doll?

So Lin took a deep breath and nodded.

"Oh!"

The Fourth Herrscher... No, the girl's head hit the Titan's metal armor heavily.

Lin put away his pistol and wanted to return to the cockpit, but at this moment he stopped and turned around, slowly walked to the side of the corpse and looked at her face.

smile.

“…” Lin stared at the familiar scene.

The face of the Third Herrscher that had appeared before...

smile.

……

"In your civilization, are there many Herrschers fighting for humanity?"

Lin was the only one in the lounge today. He seemed to always have something to do, but at this moment he was sitting on the sofa with empty hands, looking at the portrait hanging above the lounge.

After Mei walked in, he asked this question without turning his head.

"...You're making up stories again?" Mei glanced at the empty lounge and didn't approach Lin again.

"Nothing but smoke" means that rumors are not completely groundless, that is, the behavior has a reason." Lin actually had the time to correct Mei's word choice, "If you follow this interpretation, I am indeed nothing but smoke."

"..."

"This is for you." Lin threw a black object over. Meiyi took a look at what was flying in the air before taking it in her hand.

Mei fiddled with the thing in her hand: "...A figure?"

"No."

In Mei's hand is a small Titan model, which is similar in style to the one she had seen before, but the components of the backpack are slightly different.

"You seem to be very interested in Titans. This one was made by Velvet. The structure is exactly the same as the real Titan, but it cannot be controlled unless someone the size of an ant can get inside it."

"Thank you." Mei was quite happy to receive this gift. She could bring this small Titan to Anti-Entropy later. The technological achievements of the previous civilization should also be helpful to Anti-Entropy.

Then Lin stared at her straight, as if to say "I have already paid you a favor", and waited for her to answer the question.

Mei thought for a moment and said affirmatively: "Hershers... Yes, in my time, there were some Herrshers, including my companions, who fought for humanity."

"Really..." Lin raised his head and looked at the portrait again, and Mei discovered that the original portrait of Eden had been replaced with a frontal portrait of Alicia.

The pink-haired girl smiled sweetly, and unlike Eden's elegance, she made a lively scissors hand gesture.

"When was this changed?" Mei asked in surprise.

"Just now."

“…Who changed it?”

"I."

"..."

Mei didn't know whether to show an expression of "as expected" or "unexpected".

She asked hesitantly, "Eden, you won't be angry, will you?"

"She won't be angry about this kind of thing." Lin shook his head, "Besides, you misunderstood."

"…How do you know I misunderstood?"

"Because many people have misunderstood you. I've seen that expression on your face too many times."

"..."

The helmeted man folded his arms and leaned back on the sofa. The azure window was his only way to express his emotions: "I just want to ask Alicia something."

"What does this have to do with you changing the picture?"

"She might feel a little happy about it, and it will be easier for me to ask."

I have to say that Alicia and Lin have a very deep understanding of each other.

"Hey, isn't this the little white mouse that can discharge electricity? What's wrong? Is it the same problem as another little white mouse?"

An inappropriate voice sounded at an inappropriate time, causing Lin and Mei to turn their heads at the same time.

The green-haired girl sitting on the strange device let out a creepy laugh and walked over from the entrance of the paradise of the afterlife.

"Mobius? Why aren't you hiding from him today?" Mei disliked Mobius even more than Lin did, and she asked with a sneer.

Mebius smiled like a real venomous snake: "Hide? Why should I hide from him?"

"Is there something wrong?" In order to prevent the following content from turning into a verbal battle, Lin interrupted their conversation first.

"It's okay~ I just overheard someone asking for information about the Herrscher~ and I thought it was funny~" Mobius fixed her eyes on Lin, and she sarcastically said in her most vicious tone, "You said so, right? 'Traitor'."

"traitor?"

Mei looked at Lin in confusion.

Lin just lowered his head in silence, without refutation or response.

It seemed as if this title was accepted by default.

Chapter 11 Humanity

"The rescue signal has been sent, Lin, do you need to disconnect the neural connection?"

"Need not."

After Lin walked into the cockpit, he slumped down in his seat. An endless feeling of weakness took over his body, making him not want to move anymore.

He was not injured in this battle, but the mental exhaustion was unimaginable. Even with the help of Prometheus, Lin was almost exhausted at this time.

The worst thing was that he was forced to stay awake while suffering from neurasthenia. This kind of pain was the most torturous.

The connection with the Titan and Prometheus nerves kept his brain active, stimulating his thinking to maintain a high level of operation. No matter how weak he was, he could not fall into a coma or sleep.

Lin did not cut off the nerve connection because he still had to be alert, and he had to maintain this state before rescue arrived.

The unusual peace also allowed him to think about things that he usually didn't have time to think about.

Delta is dead.

He died on the battlefield he had always dreamed of, completing his duties as a scientific researcher and a soldier.

A man who always stayed up late to work and enthusiastically talked to Lin about his weapons disappeared from Lin's life, and his death was so fast that it was suffocating.

Lin had always thought that he would be the first to leave after learning that he was infected with Honkai Disease.

Should he... cry now? But why did he not feel like crying at all?

There is only a feeling of emptiness in my heart, which makes me want to go crazy.

Lin was rarely confused.

For some reason, he thought of Spacey's hysterical roar again.

'You have nothing, you have nothing to lose, that's why you have no human emotions! Do you hear me? You have nothing!'

Lin gently took off his helmet and looked at his face reflected in the dark screen.

A face that was calm to the point of being cold-blooded.

…It turns out that I really don’t have ordinary feelings.

"Lin, what are you thinking about?" Prometheus seemed to feel that the atmosphere was more depressing than before, so in order to make Lin less bored, she spoke to Lin.

“…Delta.”

"Thinking about Dr. Delta's sacrifice?"

"..."

Was it right to sacrifice his broken body, which only had four years left to live? No... Delta must have thought of other warriors... He could never be sure.

"Prometheus, do you think he did... the right thing?" Lin couldn't come up with the answer himself, so he threw the question to Prometheus.

Prometheus's answer was quick and accurate: "Lin, you wouldn't ask this question when you're giving your life for others."
