When They Are Heroes, I Am in Honkai Impact 3rd - Section 17

Equipment and external factors actually accounted for the majority.

The Pulse Katana Type 19, crafted by Raiden Ryoma, was a Honkai Energy weapon, but more importantly, it was a Honkai Energy weapon that even ordinary people could wield.

This gave Bai Ge the conditions to attack.

At the same time, the electromagnetic field that came with the Herrscher of Thunder's Awakening interfered with the Titan the moment it materialized, causing a momentary internal short circuit that slowed its movements.

Bai Ge seized the opportunity and disabled it with a single sword strike.

As for the last remaining factor... it was entirely attributed to his courage.

The courage to face the mechanical giant without a moment's hesitation, without even a flicker of doubt.

"Bai Ge, are you alright!!"

After dealing with the remaining two Titans, Kiana looked over with concern.

"Cough, cough, Kiana, I'm fine. Uh... Mei, can you give me a hand?"

"..." The disappointment in Raiden Mei's eyes vanished, but her cold, domineering demeanor remained.

She stared directly at Bai Ge, who had saved her, her emotionless eyes seeming to brand every inch of the young man into her memory.

First update, good morning.

Seeking flowers and recommendation tickets, and everyone, please comment more.

Also... Elysia, happy birthday!!

"Mei, can you give me a hand?"

The Herrscher of Thunder stared directly at Bai Ge, as if wanting to imprint his appearance in her eyes. At the same time, the thunder in the sky temporarily ceased.

"Hmph!"

The Queen raised her hand and pulled Bai Ge up from the ground. Her movements were casual yet considerate.

Only then did Raiden Mei notice that Bai Ge's hands were still trembling slightly, making it hard to imagine that such hands had disabled a Titan with a single sword strike.

But it was likely that in that critical moment, he had instantly unleashed a large portion of his potential.

"Be careful of your surroundings, it's not over yet."

Bai Ge glanced around. More Titan mechs appeared. Although their movements were stiff due to the electromagnetic interference from the Herrscher of Thunder's authority.

"Damn it, again! Watch me tear them all apart!"

"Tsk, it seems that vixen hasn't given up. Kiana, don't go head-on, let's retreat first."

Although the mechs' movements were stiff due to the interference, they still charged towards them menacingly, their raised iron fists about to smash down.

Bai Ge's eye twitched. He didn't want to become Valkyrie fragments, so he immediately called out to the Kiana, who was about to rush forward and fight, telling her to make a tactical retreat.

However...

"They're nothing but scrap metal."

Raiden Mei, who had almost been ambushed by this pile of scrap metal, stepped forward contemptuously.

Instantly, the thunder that had just subsided roared again.

Purple lightning instantly filled the abandoned building, striking indiscriminately everywhere except for Bai Ge and Kiana's locations, instantly electrocuting the Titans.

"..."

"..."

Bai Ge and Kiana were stunned, only able to give a thumbs-up to show how awesome Mei was, so cool~!

"Why did you save me just now?"

As if it were a trivial matter, the Queen turned around without another glance at the pile of 'scrap metal' and pressed Bai Ge against the wall with her hand.

It was a dominant, CEO-style wall slam.

"Why what? Mei, you were in danger, how could I just stand by and do nothing? Uh, so close..."

Bai Ge shifted his gaze awkwardly.

It was the first time he had been wall-slammed by a girl.

And the usually gentle and virtuous Mei, who would blush shyly with just a little teasing, was now pinning him against the wall with the cold, arrogant posture of a dominant queen.

It made his heart race uncontrollably.

And the distance was incredibly close, their breaths mingling. Bai Ge could feel two soft slime-like objects pressing against his chest.

If Mei closed her eyes and stood still for ten seconds, Bai Ge felt like he could kiss her.

"Truly clueless. Don't lump me in with that crybaby. I am the Queen of Thunder, the Herrscher of Thunder, an apostle of Honkai created to destroy humanity. So, do you regret saving me now?"

Raiden Mei looked down at the young man from above.

However, Bai Ge smiled and shook his head.

"I don't think so. Although your personality is indeed different from Mei's usual self, and you're very powerful, even so, you are still [Raiden Mei], my girlfriend, aren't you? If that's the case, then there's no problem."

He didn't care what Mei's identity was.

He simply told the Herrscher of Thunder in front of him clearly that no matter what she was, he would be her companion.

And the Herrscher of Thunder? From the surface, it was indeed so, but at this moment, this domineering queen version of Mei, her essence was not a Herrscher personality created by Honkai.

That's why she had the possibility of reversing the Great Honkai.

"What do you want to say?"

The Herrscher of Thunder, Mei, opened her surprised eyes slightly, closing the already short distance between them even further.

Bai Ge could hear the sound of the wall caving in from the hand she used to pin him against it.

"Didn't I already say it? I want to save you all. I don't want to consider those complicated matters."

"As for destroying humanity, please, Mei, spare them for my sake~ It's more meaningful for us to have dinner together than to do something so boring."

"..."

The queen's majesty had no effect at all.

Let alone awe, Herrscher Mei clearly felt that Bai Ge's attitude towards her was no different from how she remembered the timid boy.

The same gentleness.

The same care.

This feeling was so warm that it even felt inexplicable to her. She was a Herrscher who was about to turn the entire Changkong City into a living hell, an enemy of humanity.

Suddenly, at this moment.

Herrscher Mei felt a warmth on her chest.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh, huh? Maybe I was just trying too hard just now, I'll be a little dizzy. I hope I can eat dinner made by Mei when I wake up."

Bai Ge suddenly slumped onto the Herrscher of Thunder, Mei, his eyes squinting as if he were falling asleep, his cheek buried in the girl's chest.

Such an intimate gesture was something even Raiden Ryoma, as her father, had never done.

"However, I have already made my choice, so next... it's your turn to make a choice, Mei. Don't disappoint me." Before his consciousness faded, he said as if in a dream.

"Hmph, you don't think that by pretending to be dizzy, I'll feel indebted and listen to you, do you? Open your eyes and speak clearly, you... what?!"

Suddenly, Herrscher Mei seemed to sense something, and her purple eyes, filled with lightning, showed an expression of disbelief.

Then her movements became stiff, and she cautiously checked Bai Ge.

"Stop joking!" she shouted.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE--!!

In an instant, the roar of thunder echoed throughout the city.

Herrscher Mei thought of what Bai Ge had said, and the choice she had witnessed not long ago.

She had placed the options of saving the world and saving Raiden Mei in front of Bai Ge, letting him choose, and the boy had unhesitatingly chosen the latter.

Now Bai Ge was presenting Mei with a choice—whether to continue carrying out Honkai's mission to destroy civilization, or to choose me/Bai Ge.

"...I won't allow you to end like this. From now on, I am the only one in this world who can take your life, Bai Ge. You must live."

Herrscher Mei said, looking at the boy in her arms.

The so-called Great Honkai is irreversible.

When a Herrscher descends upon the world, except for a few unusual individuals, a large-scale Honkai disaster will occur, severely damaging the world.

Because the Great Honkai created the Herrschers, the Herrschers themselves could not actually prevent the Great Honkai from descending... normally, that is.

"Kiana over there, I'll leave him to you now. Treat him carefully."

"Mei, no, that's wrong. You're not Mei. What exactly are you planning to do?"

"Hmph! I have no obligation to explain to you... Forget it, I'm just telling him my choice."

After taking another deep look at the sleeping boy.
