The Tyrannical Queen: Mei, Herrscher of Thunder (Continued)

This armor has a special function: it can connect to the Hyperion's nuclear power system, allowing it to unleash combat power exceeding that of Emperor-Class Honkai Beast.

It is one of the St. Freya Academy's current trump cards.

Even so, Himeko was not entirely sure whether this would allow her to confront Herrscher.

Therefore, she also prayed in her heart that the Herrscher of Thunder in front of her could maintain her humanity and give up destroying the world, just like the legendary Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of the Void.

Incidentally... While the Fusion Armor can forcibly increase combat power, the process of wearing the armor is quite embarrassing, and every time Himeko uses it, she mentally curses the designer.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

A lone figure amidst the flash of lightning, a thunderclap echoing across the sky.

The moment Mei became the fully realized Herrscher of Thunder, everyone present felt a deep fear of her—humans and Honkai Beast alike were terrified of her.

"... Is this my true power?"

The Queen Raiden opened her eyes.

It contains boundless power and majesty.

Red demon horns sprouted from the top of her head, and her originally waist-length purple hair had now grown to her ankles. Her entire body was dressed in a bold and domineering red, black, and white Herrscher outfit.

Both sides of his body were covered with huge red arm armor, and his right arm armor held a huge katana several meters long.

At the same time, the lightning Mei controlled also changed, from the original purple lightning to red lightning, which was more destructive and more intense and domineering.

"Hmm? Is it finally over? Mei, you look so beautiful."

"... Of course."

"Hehe, world, celebrate! Today is the birth of the Queen Raiden!"

Bai Ge gazed intently at Mei in her Herrscherization, and he was the only one present who showed no fear of the girl at this moment.

"Hmph, you're so childish."

When she saw this person smiling at her as always, Herrscher of Thunder Mei breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the two of them gazed deeply into each other's eyes in front of so many people and started teasing each other.

However, Bai Ge was merely observing her changes with curiosity.

The real-life Herrscher of Thunder is so hot! Bai now totally understand how that Pink Fairy Lady feels!

Meanwhile, Herrscher of Thunder Mei was sighing.

My eyes are meant to conquer and destroy everything they see, but without realizing it, every time I open them, I subconsciously search for the boy's figure.

(As expected, only you are different...)

Everyone is fearing the swelling and drought of the male offspring.

Mei felt a chilling fear from the Honkai Beast.

I saw fear and vigilance in the Valkyrie.

Even the thunder in the sky seemed like the world was roaring that she shouldn't exist.

But Bai Ge is different.

He was the only one celebrating and blessing his own birth with joy.

Memories of the past surfaced in Herrscher of Thunder Mei's mind.

She is a consciousness born from solitude.

When she first gained self-awareness, she felt intense malice from the outside world, and at the same time, a voice in her head was constantly telling her this.

[Your name is the Third Herrscher, and your reason for being born is to annihilate all humanity and completely destroy civilization.]

The voice was so clear that Mei Honkai, but even so, she still felt confused about the meaning of her existence.

Unlike Herrscher born normally, she is actually the result of the fusion of Raiden Mei's Stigmata and the Conquest Gem, Stigmata consciousness that has seized the Herrscher Authority.

As Mei's Stigmata consciousness, she can naturally share memories, and from the girl's memories, she learns about happiness, pain, hope, sadness, and despair.

But...

Those memories don't belong to Herrscher of Thunder Mei.

All she possesses is the immense power of Herrscher; anything touched by her lightning is reduced to atoms, and any human who gets close to her will be corrupted into Dead Soldier.

Unlike the real Raiden Mei, Herrscher Mei possesses only a lonely and empty mission to destroy humanity.

Finally, one day, Raiden Mei, as the host, suffered the greatest despair she had ever experienced, causing her to automatically take over the girl's body and come to the real world.

However, just as Herrscher Mei was about to accept her boring mission of destroying humanity.

A white-haired boy appeared before her.

His name is Bai Ge.

It was a ray of light in Raiden Mei's desperate life, but it had nothing to do with Herrscher Mei. However, she still chose not to lay a hand on the boy, but instead presented a choice to Bai Ge.

He killed her to protect the world.

Or she should choose to give up this world.

Bai Ge's answer was to have both. He protected Mei, the Herrscher who was not yet fully awakened, from the clutches of the Titan Mecha, but at the same time, he asked her not to destroy the world.

At that moment, when Bai Ge embraced her, Herrscher of Thunder Mei felt as if her own heart was truly beating.

Even though she told him that Bai Ge wasn't the cowardly persona, but rather Apostle of God who would destroy the world, Bai Ge still chose her.

This result made her happy.

But soon the Queen panicked.

Because at that time, Bai Ge was just an ordinary person.

However, he himself was a Herrscher whose very existence was destruction, and simply getting close to him caused him to be corrupted by Honkai Energy.

At that moment Herrscher of Thunder Mei was afraid. She was afraid that she would hurt Bai Ge, so in the end she gave up her mission and her powers, returning her body to Mei.

She chose to hide inside the Herrscher Core, silently watching Bai Ge from then on, and only by doing so could she feel warmth.

She would have been content with just that.

But at this moment.

Bai Ge actually helped her regain her powers, put the crown on her head again, brought her back into the world, and even stood in front of her to protect her once more.

"You dare to wake me up again? You'd better not regret it."

"How could I regret it, Mei? I said I would save you, no matter which side you were on, and... I need your strength now, my Queen."

Bai Ge looked directly into Herrscher of Thunder Mei's purple eyes, his eyes filled with genuine joy.

Amidst the many gazes that feared Herrscher of Thunder Mei, Bai Ge's gaze was like the only light in the darkness for her.

The Queen's lips curled up, revealing a stunning smile.

"Very well, I declare that from this moment on you belong to me. From now on, tell me what you like and I will get it for you; tell me what you hate and I will destroy it for you."

"!!!"

What an imposing and domineering Queen is!

Bai Ge's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Herrscher of Thunder Mei to say such a thing to her. Compared to her, all those domineering female CEOs from her previous life were utterly weak!

(Hiss! Wow, I'm starting to get tempted.)

Bai felt like he was being flirted with. The Herrscher Mei's affection for him was much higher than he had imagined, and the way this Queen Raiden expressed her affection was truly worthy of the title of Queen.

"The Third Herrscher, actually, actually..."

"She actually fell for this boy?!"

"Huh? Can Herrscher fall in love with a human?"

"My God, am I dreaming?"

Herrscher of Thunder Mei's confession was delivered without any attempt to lower her voice or show any girlish shyness, only the domineering aura of Queen, as if she were declaring to the whole world how special Bai Ge was to her.

Putting everything else aside, the Valkyrie of the St. Freya Academy present heard it all clearly, and at this moment they all felt as if their worldviews had been shattered.

A world-destroying Herrscher has fallen in love with a boy?! Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!

Even the Herrscher are in relationships, but I'm still a single dog... Damn it!

"Phew~ Looks like we don't need to fight anymore, but... the boy who even the Herrscher falls in love with is really intriguing."

On the bridge of the Hyperion.

Himeko, dressed in Crimson Impulse, breathed a sigh of relief and put down the greatsword brimming with energy.

Having even learned about 'love,' the Third Herrscher undoubtedly possesses ample humanity. Since she is in love with that white-haired boy, the possibility of destroying the world is extremely slim, and there is no longer any possibility of them plotting against each other.

As Murata Himeko's heart finally settled, she couldn't help but look at Bai Ge with curiosity. Not only her, but all the Valkyrie present were now very interested in Bai.

Meanwhile, on the Floating Island of Schicksal.

Otto, who had been watching the show remotely via satellite since the beginning, was so shocked that he crushed the wine glass in his hand.

The red wine stained his white gloves, but the Bishop of Schicksal had no time to care about such trivial matters.
