Get a Grip, Damn It! (Continued)

Mei, now transformed into the Raiden Queen, pointed her sword downwards and slashed again at the dragon that was trying to break out of the sea, then quietly waited for it to arrive.

Before long, a familiar figure emerged from the Imaginary Space.

Kiana?

Mei looked into the newcomer's pale golden eyes and asked softly.

But the familiar... or rather, the person who used to be very familiar with him only gave a cold smile.

"Nothing to say?" Mei wasn't surprised. "Then get out of Kiana's body!"

Then, thunder roared!

"Tsk..."

Sirin, who managed to dodge Mei's "greeting gift" using her spatial abilities, frowned slightly.

This guy... how come he's even stronger than Bella's Herrscher form in my memory?

"Tsk, a little late, but it's alright."

Liu Bai looked up at the battle in the sky, then looked at Himeko.

"Keep going, I'll lead the way, otherwise we might crash this round."

"Is Mei alright?" Compared to Liu Bai, Himeko seemed very worried.

"No problem—at least for now."

Is Sirin weak? No, although she's not as strong as she used to be, she could still beat Mei and Theresa in the original story.

But the problem is... Mei has evolved to the full version a year ahead of schedule.

Except for the absence of Kurikara, it is in no way inferior to the original storyline one year later, and may even be better.

In this situation, you want to instantly kill Mei?

Keep dreaming!

However, just as Liu Bai said, although she can't kill her instantly, Mei will definitely not be a match for Sirin in a long fight.

After all, Sirin now has two cores, and she also has a low-health Benares by her side.

Besides Mei, the only other person qualified to participate in the Anti-Entropy is Reanna, but Reanna also needs to take charge of command.

What? You're asking about Welt?

Of course, he was watching over Wendy.

Putting aside everything else, the Herrscher of the Void the Void's mobility is absolutely top-notch.

What if I suddenly lose my mind and leave ME Corp?

Gem of Conquest makes it a gem, Gem of Hopes makes it no longer a gem?

Well, the only consolation is that Sirin isn't very bright, or rather, she's too arrogant.

If you believe you can win, you will never run away.

... This personality is practically made for a disaster.

This is why, even though Liu Bai's current hand theoretically could overwhelm Sirin, he still has to play it piecemeal.

After all, Sirin was determined to run away, and they really couldn't stop her...

"We've arrived at Heimdall Laboratory."

Liu Bai directly opened the laboratory door with a black key and led Himeko directly to the core area.

"Put on your armor, grab your medicine, and get ready to go."

With Liu Bai's ability to hack into the network, the entire laboratory had no secrets whatsoever.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Himeko didn't ask any questions and simply put on the armor after glancing at its name.

Then, Liu Bai directly possessed him.

[Guardian Spirit - Plague]

This long-awaited, almost invisible skill among the Guardian Spirit skills was triggered—mainly because there are really not many Valkyrie among Liu Bai's hosts.

How are you feeling?

A five-meter-tall fire giant wielding a flaming greatsword appeared behind Himeko.

"It's absolutely wonderful."

Himeko brandished her greatsword with piercing eyes.

"Speaking of which, you're only now... starting to look like a guardian spirit."

"Really? It will look even more like a guardian spirit in a moment."

The Flame Giant smiled.

The Guardian Spirit possessing the lunar eclipse is much stronger than the Argent Knight: Artemis possessing Rita.

After all, the Eclipse itself is the Key of Emptiness and is linked to the Gem of Contagion Gem of Contagion, which was the most destructive gem in Sirin's great explosion.

With such a powerful alliance, Liu Bai's current fighting strength...

It may be a bit rude to say it like that, but about 1.5 Rita?

I feel like saying that is more than just rude.

The only regret is that Liu Bai didn't learn any swordsmanship from Himeko —well, after all, Himeko's swordsmanship was basically taught by him.

Boom--!

Himeko and Liu Bai worked together to break a hole in Heimdall Laboratory.

Meanwhile, in the distant sky, Benares fell again, the thunderous roar much weaker than before.

"They're about to go!"

At that moment, Liu Bai transformed into a rocket booster, propelling Himeko into the air.

"...What is this?" Bianka looked up.

The appearance of the Herrscher of the Void has brought the battle at the airport to an end.

"Miss Himeko?"

Rita was also somewhat surprised as she watched the flames shooting out of the sky.

"... Join the war, Rita."

After a brief silence, Bianka spoke softly.

"Durandal?" Rita was slightly surprised.

"We'll clean up the mess we created ourselves."

"Durandal, but what about the bishop..."

Rita was still somewhat hesitant.

Rita had a vague idea of Otto's plan, but she didn't quite understand why Bianka, who always rigidly followed the rules, would act on her own initiative at this time.

"Rita, I actually prefer you to call me Bianka."

Bianka was not surprised by Rita's reaction.

"I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position."

"... No, I'm the one who should apologize."

The Lunar Vow instantly armed itself, and Rita smiled.

"As an adjutant, to question the orders of my superior is an act of incompetence on my part as an adjutant and as a soldier."

Otto? Screw Otto!

Although we don't know what Bianka was thinking, this is the first time in the past two years that Bianka has "taken matters into her own hands".

This is truly... so nostalgic.

Since that's the case, Rita doesn't mind going crazy with Bianka once in a while. With one more person, the chances of Otto being held accountable will be one step lower.

However... at times like this, there's always a sense of emptiness, as if someone is missing.

That's strange...

The two exchanged a smile and immediately used the Anti-Entropy warship as a springboard to rush to the battlefield ahead.

"... So energetic."

Inside the warship, Reanna gripped her lance, rose, and looked toward the Schicksal Headquarters.

Speaking of which... what about her old friend?

"Scarlet Bird Immortal, I did not lie."

"... annoying little mouse."

Anger finally surfaced in the Herrscher of the Void's golden eyes.

"One, two, three, four... there are really more and more of them."

"I'm sorry, I can't hold on much longer."

At this point, the Raiden Queen was no longer as imposing as she had been at the beginning—fighting Sirin was just too frustrating, as her powerful single-target attacks would always be teleported away by her.

However, Sirin was also aggrieved. After suffering a loss at the beginning, the guy opposite her started throwing out wide-range attacks like they were free, leaving her covered in injuries—but at least she was a little better off than the guy opposite her.

Although she was slightly inferior to her opponent in pure attack, she was extremely versatile in spatial manipulation, and with Benares's previous harassment, she still had the upper hand.

"Be careful, this guy is relatively good at countering single-target high-power attacks... However, she has a bad habit: when faced with a sudden attack, she will always subconsciously block first, and only teleport when she realizes that she can't block it - this is an opportunity to take advantage of."

Mei whispered a reminder as she backed away.

"Thank you, leave the rest to us."

Bianka nodded slightly to Mei in thanks, and then the scene before her changed.

All that remained in this world was the warship where they had landed, countless irregular rocks floating in the air, and Sirin looking down at them from above.

"Imaginary Space —this is her home turf, but I can assist you from the sidelines," Mei continued.

However, this gesture seemed to anger Sirin.

"So noisy!"

Sirin simply waved her hand, and two Void Lance Mei.

Now she has completely given up on the idea of taking Mei under her wing.

Clang! Clang!

Abyss White Flower easily deflected the two Void Lance, and then Bianka charged towards Sirin without hesitation.

"Tsk..."

Getting caught in close combat will definitely lead to something terrible!

Thinking of this, Sirin decisively reached out, and a sudden impact was about to push Bianka away.

However, the results... were not ideal.

"And I'm here too!"

Rita somehow ended up next to Sirin.

"Roll!"

Using the same tactic again, the same powerful impact struck Rita.

Rita was clearly not as strong Bianka, and was immediately sent flying backward.

But then, a hand caught her.

"Thank you, Ms. Mei."
