Chapter 1511 New Divine Favor
Chapter 1511 New Divine Favor
A thin white mist swirled around the area encircled by thorns, and the mental and spiritual power seemed to be outlined within this mist.
Although Lin Yu had few direct encounters with the second-generation "Freud," and it seemed that he had only witnessed the reckless side of this leader of the "Psychological Society" on several occasions—especially the last time, when the other party was almost being led by the nose by him.
However, Lin Yu would not think that the second-generation "Freud" was a straightforward idiot or a reckless fool because of this.
Her ranking fifth already demonstrates her exceptional overall strength, and her intelligence and learning ability were definitely taken into consideration—Shen Bingmiao certainly didn't just consider combat power and destructive force when she made this ranking.
To reach the top as a "scholar" must mean she has exceptional intellectual abilities.
Even disregarding the profession of 'scholar'...
How could someone who can lead an organization like the Psychological Society and claims to be the successor of that treacherous and cunning guy, Old Zheng, not be good at strategy?
The fact that the other side has been unable to take down Lao Zheng for so long is proof of this!
Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng—although Old Zheng now felt like he was about to completely lose consciousness, his whole body was trembling violently, and his mental energy was severely overdrawn. All his methods, including the [Grey Spirit Eye], [Dream Box], and [Mind Image Conjurer], were being used at full power to desperately resist the seemingly still in control second-generation 'Freud'.
Lin Yu even noticed that Old Zheng's main method of holding off 'Freud' was to constantly use the [Dream Box] to throw out some of his own hidden memories—which made the second-generation 'Freud' take the initiative to slow down the pace of completely defeating Old Zheng.
One by one, fragmented yet seemingly crucial memories appeared on the field, seeping directly into the Second Generation's mind through the thin mist.
"Where did you get these memories from?"
“I’ve already told you, I’m not ‘Schreber’ at all!”
"Still being stubborn? No problem... Once I catch you, I'll find a way to make you spill everything!"
"The moment you grab me, I will erase all these memories—you know, with the level I'm showing now, I can do it!"
"I won't give you this chance."
"Then try it!"
On the field, Old Zheng had already begun to threaten "Floyd" with his memories, a tactic that left Lin Yu in awe.
But no matter what... Old Zheng really held on.
Moreover, the situation is much better than Lin Yu had anticipated.
Seeing Freud, who was now truly "fearing the consequences" and had to change his method of directly tearing apart Lao Zheng's soul to "erosion," Lin Yu understood that the other party planned to take over Lao Zheng's entire soul and subjective consciousness instantly after the degree of erosion of Lao Zheng's soul reached a critical value at a certain moment, preventing him from using mental power and hypnosis skills to wash away any of his own skills.
However, this approach will indeed take longer—and we might not even have to "abandon Lao Zheng."
After all, that was only the worst-case scenario—in a better scenario, he might be able to get away with Lao Zheng right now.
"Old Zheng really deserves credit, and he put in such a lot of effort when fighting against the members of the 'Psychology Society'," Lin Yu said with admiration as he continued to crack the "Boundary Wall". "Perhaps after this 'trial' is over, I should give Old Zheng a break - let's choose Kirishima as the location, he will definitely be very happy."
Of course, Lin Yu knew...
The current "crisis" has been almost perfectly resolved, and Lao Zheng deserves credit for it.
But ultimately, it was thanks to her good habit of making preparations regularly—the reason why the second-generation 'Freud' mistook Old Zheng for 'Schreber' was partly due to her blind faith in the first-generation 'Freud' leading to a misjudgment, and partly due to coincidences, but more importantly...
I had been considering the identity of 'Schreber' all along. From the very beginning, I put forward the idea that 'Schreber' and Old Zheng looked similar and had similar mental energy fluctuations, so that it could be effective at this moment.
This is why details determine success or failure!
and……
It's not just about 'Freud'.
The two "saintly" henchmen she brought from the "Gray Zone" had also lost their threat after negotiating with Lin Yu.
The two stood on the other side of the mist. Although they did not stop "Floyd," they did not actively try to help her either—of course, this was because "Floyd" herself had made the request first.
But not taking any action at all... Lin Yu knew that this must be because they had taken their own interests into consideration.
"The cooperation with the central authorities in the 'gray area' last time was really crucial - it's true that you should always have more options and more partners, because... you never know when you might need them."
Lin Yu even admired himself a little.
Not only did he resolve the crisis...
This "Myriad Transformations Saint King" and another unknown sage can even be transformed into his own allies now.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, such an accident could even happen again—even if some demigod or chosen one were to invade this "eternal cage" and come after him, with the help of these two "sages," Lin Yu felt that there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Just as Lin Yu was thinking this...
A grayish-white mist rose around the thorns.
Beside the Myriad Transformations Saint King, Lin Yu suddenly heard another female sage speak.
"The Myriad Transformations Saint King—a retinue of otherworldly gods is advancing toward us and attempting to break through my 'Thorn Encirclement'."
Ripples appeared on the mirror-like face of the Myriad Transformations Saint King: "A kin of otherworldly gods? According to the calculations of the mechanism, shouldn't all the prisoners and guards be in a state of immobility at this moment?"
"Could it be a member of the 'God of Fairness and Judgment's' retinue—are you sure, 'Queen of Terror'?"
The Queen of Trembling frowned: "Yes, Myriad Transformations Saint, I am certain... and the other party is definitely not a member of the 'God of Fairness and Judgment's' clan."
The Myriad Transformations Saint King spoke up: "Then it seems... that they are most likely the relatives of the god who created all this 'chaos'?"
"As expected, although they made this 'eternal cage' accessible to us, they won't let us take advantage of the chaos they created so easily to start our operation."
The Queen of Terror nodded: "Perhaps... the goal of these newcomers is the same as ours!"
Lin Yu, overhearing their conversation, also noticed something.
"Wait a minute... So the changes in the 'Eternal Cage,' or rather, this divine kingdom, weren't orchestrated by the entity behind you?"
“Yes, the mechanism only deduced that ‘Schreber’ is now here, and that this ‘eternal cage’, which was originally impossible to invade, will undergo a change that is suitable for our actions,” Wan Hua Sheng Jun explained without any concealment in the face of Lin Yu’s question. “Therefore, there is indeed another high-level being creating changes here, and it is most likely the work of a certain god.”
"After all, in most cases, the only one who can influence a god, interfere with the stability of his divine kingdom, and create chaos within it is another god."
Lin Yu immediately realized that something was wrong.
There really is... a master?
The fact that the authority that Nioh intended to contain and control unexpectedly merged into the divine kingdom of the "God of Fairness and Judgment" was not an "accident" at all, but rather that a deity was driving and facilitating this matter!
His first thought was... Could it be the work of the "God of Frost"?
However, Lin Yu thought again that although the timing was correct, he discovered the changes in the entire divine kingdom after the Frost God took action and he came out of the "theater".
But he still didn't think... the Frost God could do that.
If that were truly possible, the other party wouldn't have been unable to capture themselves—or rather, they wouldn't have needed to waste their precious time and energy on themselves in an attempt to use their "player" identity to find a way out of the "eternal cage."
and so……
This must be some foreign deity.
Rather than Lin Yu boasting or overestimating himself...
Although the most unusual thing in the divine realm right now is that "Ren-oh" is accumulating authority in preparation to become a new god, Lin Yu immediately sensed that this unknown foreign god's influence on "Ren-oh" and disruption of the "God of Fairness and Judgment's" divine kingdom seemed to be merely a "means" rather than an "end"!
This means...
Perhaps this newly appeared uninvited guest also came on its own!
In particular, the sage known as the "Queen of Trembling" has already sensed that the other party is now heading straight for them!
Therefore, Lin Yu spoke directly to the Myriad Transformations Saint Lord.
"If this guy is after me, can you help me?"
This time, the Myriad Transformations Saint King did not speak; instead, the Trembling Queen spoke first.
"If the other party tries to kill or shows murderous intent, we will naturally stop them."
"After all, you are a valuable partner for the organization."
Lin Yu nodded upon hearing the Queen of Terror's words: "What if the other party is only showing hostility rather than murderous intent, and only intends to kidnap me rather than kill me?"
The Queen of Terror spoke up, "I need to consult with the authorities before I can give you an answer."
After speaking, the Queen of Terror remained silent for a moment, seemingly engaging in some kind of secure communication across worlds and mechanisms through a clandestine method.
Soon, the Queen of Trembling spoke.
“We will help you to the minimum extent possible, and... the organization hopes that if we help you, you will in return agree to one of the organization's requests.”
Lin Yu asked without hesitation.
"any request?"
The Queen of Terror was about to speak, but the next moment...
A look of confusion suddenly appeared on her face.
"I...forgot."
Lin Yu was a little surprised.
He looked at the Queen of Terror's expression—this creature had human-like features, making it easier to read her emotions than the Myriad Transformations Saint King.
Lin Yu was quite certain that the Queen of Terror seemed to have genuinely forgotten what she was about to say.
Is it the 'central authorities' interfering with her will?
"No...no—if it's the 'central authorities,' why would they suddenly make her forget the information she just received from the central authorities and was about to relay to me?"
Lin Yu pondered deeply while observing the reaction of the Myriad Transformations Saint King—who, like him, looked at the Trembling Queen with some confusion.
Wait a minute...
What am I confused about?
