Speedrun Collapse!

"Requesting an experiment to connect the Blank Key and the God Key?"

"No, absolutely not."

When Theresa thought about how Lin Yu, who had a stigma, dared to confront the Herrscher, she didn't want to agree to Lin Yu's request from the bottom of her heart.

The others got good equipment, so Theresa didn't worry about them doing anything wrong.

But Lin Yu is different.

Even though he looks calmer than anyone else,...

——When he integrated the power of the Herrscher to finish off Chi You, his expression was the same.

In Theresa's eyes, when Lin Yu maintained this expression and said something important - her intuition told her that nothing good usually happened at this time.

As for why a commander would be so superstitious about intuition - don't ask, the answer is that the blood of the Kaslana family has a great bonus in terms of intuition.

"this......"

Looking at Theresa who was shaking her head frantically, Lin Yu said helplessly.

"The bishop gave me the Blank Key. I can't just leave it there to collect dust, can I?"

"I get angry when I talk about this!"

The moment Lin Yu mentioned Otto, Theresa's expression instantly turned into anger.

Theresa has been out on patrol less frequently recently. In an emergency, even if she didn't go out on patrol, she couldn't hide away and read the Homunculus comics.

When the Blank Key was sent to her by Fu Hua, Theresa used her authority to open the information of the Blank Key that night and studied it with Ji Zi for a while.

In the end, according to Himeko's own description, the Blank Key, as the prototype of the Valkyrie/Knight Armor, does have very powerful power.

But with great power comes risk.

The Blank Key itself has high requirements for the user, and after the user connects the Blank Key and the Herrscher Core, this requirement will continue to increase.

According to the text descriptions the two saw in the database, the Blank Key is different from its "descendants". As an armor that can connect to the Herrscher's core, it can be completely regarded as a part of the user's body.

After the core and the human body are connected through the Blank Key, as long as the user can bear the burden brought by the armor + core, the user can become a Herrscher in a short period of time.

In the previous era, the user of the Blank Key once switched the Herrscher Core she was connected to three times in a short period of time.

The first time, the user killed hundreds of Rulers of Herrscher after connecting to the core of the Herrscher of Thunder for 201 seconds, and then the connection was severed because the body could not bear the load.

The second time, after the user rested for ten minutes, she connected to the core of the Wind Herrscher again. Although she also killed the enemy in front of her this time, the connection was disconnected after only 65 seconds.

The third time, the user picked up the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire and connected with the core of the Herrscher of Flame for five seconds, killing the last enemy.

However, after this battle, the user suffered serious and irreparable injuries.

Of course, according to Ji Zi's analysis, that user is a scientific researcher, and his adaptability and controllability of Honkai energy are definitely not as good as Lin Yu's.

However, this does not mean that the Blank Key is a safe weapon that Lin Yu can use at will.

Theresa has not forgotten that when Lin Yu in the Nine Netherworld just touched the Seven Thunders of Purification with his hand, his hand was corroded by the Honkai energy.

Now, even though his resistance to Honkai energy has been greatly improved by the HSN serum improved by Dr. Maki, this problem is still very serious.

For most of the current Honkai Warriors, touching the God's Key is equivalent to chronic suicide, and using the God's Key is basically suicide.

Connecting to the core through the Blank Key is obviously more dangerous than touching or using the God Key.

In Theresa's eyes, this is probably better than [directly swallowing the Herrscher Core and becoming a Herrscher]. In this case, it would be strange if she agreed to Lin Yu, her beloved junior, to use the Blank Key.

"Grandpa obviously knew how dangerous this thing was, but he still sent the armor over."

"he......"

He must want you dead—that’s what Theresa wanted to say.

But considering that Otto had been frantically helping Lin Yu build momentum since Lin Yu defeated Chi You about a month and a half ago, Theresa still didn't say this.

She knew what kind of person Otto was, but Lin Yu didn't.

Alas, poor Lin Yu, you probably still think that your grandfather gave you the Blank Key as a sign of his appreciation for you.

But now it seems...Grandpa is definitely considering how to torture him.

If the power is given to Lin Yu, will he choose to use it at the risk or give up this power - the answer is too obvious.

Look now, Lin Yu came to the door within a few days.

And what made Theresa feel the most terrified was that the Key of God that Lin Yu wrote on the stupid application form included not only the Seven Thunders of Purification, but also her Judas' Oath.

Using the Key of God to connect twice in a row was clearly a sign of Lin Yu's condition further deteriorating in Theresa's opinion.

"But..."

Looking at Theresa, who had a complicated expression in front of him and was probably madly complaining about Otto in her heart, Lin Yu could only speak in a low voice.

"I have HSN serum, something really happened..."

"Lin Yu, I want to say one thing."

Ji Zi, who was looking at the two of them at this time, suddenly spoke to Lin Yu.

"After using the special HSN serum you gave me, I really felt the magic of this serum."

"Dr. Maki, who developed this serum, is undoubtedly a genius, but at the same time, I think you forgot one thing."

"If you use too much serum, first of all, your strength will definitely drop significantly. Secondly, if your body develops resistance to the serum, then when you need it to save your life, it won't work and you might really be doomed."

Listening to what Jizi said, Theresa nodded with great satisfaction.

"Himeko is right, so——"

"Branch Chief, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

After interrupting Theresa's words, Jizi spoke to Theresa very seriously.

"I just want Lin Yu to recognize the limitations of the HSN serum. From a rational point of view, I think it is not a bad thing for him to use the blank key for experiments now."

"Hey, you traitor!"

Theresa, who was "slapped in the face" by Jizi on the spot, felt that she was really a little annoyed today.

It’s fine if grandpa messed around, and it’s fine if he messed around and led Lin Yu to do the same - how come you are stabbing me in the back too!

Can I bear this?

"Okay, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

After pulling Theresa aside, Ji Zi said something to the very angry Theresa that Lin Yu could not hear.

Just...

Tong, are you here?

【You know what I mean. 】

It's OK as long as you're here - you can detect if there are any surveillance cameras nearby, can you help me eavesdrop on what they are talking about?

[Oh, this is not difficult, let this system listen to it...]

[It's a very meaningless conversation. To be honest, it's pretty much what you guessed.]

On the other hand, Theresa calmed down a little after listening to Ji Zi's reasons.

Facing Theresa's anger, Ji Zi said helplessly - even if you stop Lin Yu now, at the critical moment, Lin Yu will still have a great probability of using the Blank Key to fight the enemy desperately.

Rather than Lin Yu fighting the enemy with the Blank Key, only to have trouble because he did not understand the performance and capabilities of the Blank Key and the maximum time he could use the Blank Key, it would be better for Lin Yu to adapt to this new power in advance while there are no enemies attacking.

In fact, Theresa still felt that Ji Zi's reasons were too risky.

But considering Lin Yu's own ability to act, he really suspected that if something happened and a fight broke out, Lin Yu would do something extreme as Ji Zi predicted.

"Okay, okay, I agree to this application, but——"

Looking at Lin Yu, whose expression remained calm, Theresa spoke to Lin Yu very seriously.

"You can conduct the Herrscher core connection experiment, but it must be done with Himeko and I present."

"And it's not just the two of us. Yuno has to be there too."

After adding this sentence, Ji Zi said to Lin Yu.

"The bishop has instructed us to train Yuno's ability to control her power."

"If something goes wrong when you use the Blank Key, we can feel more at ease with Yuno by your side."

However, if possible, I still hope that Yuno will not have the opportunity to use her power.

Alas, Lin Yu.

In two days I will go to the beach to play with those little girls, but during my break I was still thinking about how to beat Honkai Impact 3.

Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, but the problem is that for his disease...

——What kind of heart medicine can we find?

.................................................. ......................

About half an hour later, Theresa's personal training ground

When Yuno arrived at the training ground, looking at Lin Yu who had already put on the Blank Key, Yuno always felt...

Alas, after so much planning, it seems that my senior’s illness has become more serious.

I don’t know now whether the progress of my plan can keep up with the speed at which his condition worsens.

You're going to play in two days, but you're still rolling...

Have you bought your swimming trunks?

Are you mentally prepared?

Have you taken the dietary supplements?

I'm still thinking about how to defeat Collapse.

I began to suspect that the scenes I saw a few days ago were hallucinations caused by my excessive impatience.

"Okay, Yuno is here, so let's start now."

Seeing that Lin Yu had already stretched out his hand to the Seven Thunders of Purification placed in front of him, Theresa emphasized again.

"As soon as you realize that your body can't take it anymore, release the Key of God."

"I know you want to fight Houkai, so you should cherish your life and don't waste it on this kind of experiment - do you understand?"

"learn."

Ah, such a perfunctory tone.

He really didn't listen to me seriously.

At this time, after Lin Yu picked up the Seven Thunders of Purification in the Tachi mode, he directly used the Blank Key and the Seven Thunders of Purification to complete the connection.

And the moment he completed this action, a flash of lightning burst out directly from his body.

At the moment when the lightning burst out, the three people at the scene took a step back at the same time.

As the user of the Key of God, when Lin Yu completed the connection, Theresa had already begun to pay attention to whether there was any "death soldier" phenomenon on his hands that came into contact with the Seven Thunders of Purification.

However, the Blank Key is worthy of being a weapon on par with the 'Key of God'.

At this time, Lin Yu, who had completed the core connection, had no obvious signs of being corroded by Honkai energy or becoming a dead soldier on his body.

Although Theresa felt that Lin Yu, who now appeared calm, must have just been holding his breath and was actually very weak, but - this was much better than what she had imagined.

As for Lin Yu himself, after picking up the Seven Thunders of Purification, he was not as weak as Theresa had imagined.

To be honest, Dr. Mei was connected to the core for 201 seconds before he became too weak to continue connecting to the Herrscher of Thunder core.

Lin Yu is now much stronger than Dr. Mei. After all, he is not weaker than her in this aspect.

Moreover, Lin Yu had already used the characteristics of the Key of Domination to integrate the power of the Ruler of Thunder twice before.

The first time was in Jiuyou, and the second time was when Yuno was about to be transformed into a law. Lin Yu, who had already used the power of the Herrscher of Thunder twice, was already familiar with it in some aspects.

In addition, Lin Yu had already made more brutal moves on his body in advance, and relied on the pseudo-Herrscher core to give himself a "military exercise" in advance, so this time when he connected to the Herrscher core of Thunder, he actually felt that he was just a little tired, without too many other feelings.

After maintaining the core connection mode for about a minute, Lin Yu chose to interrupt this mode and placed the Seven Thunders of Purification on the metal platform in front of him.

"...Is this the end?"

Seeing that Lin Yu was really fine, Theresa looked at him suspiciously for a while, and then she started touching Lin Yu's body.
