The Time Has Come for Judgment! (199 Monthly-Ticket Milestone) / The Last Person Who Dared Talk to Me Like That Got Smacked!

As Kiana walked through the air, her six wings of light spread out in all directions. Each one summoned a Honkai Wormhole, and together with the previous one, seven wormholes continuously spewed out Honkai Beasts. Their numbers had already surpassed the mechs!

"Humans..."

Empowered by Honkai energy, Kiana's voice carried for several kilometers, sounding somewhat like Kiana's altered electronic voice. "Your existence is a mistake. War, deceit, jealousy, greed..."

As Kiana spoke, the number of Honkai Beasts kept growing. The Titan Mechs had no choice but to abandon their attacks, gathering together and deploying an energy barrier in an attempt to withstand the Honkai Beasts' assault. But the Honkai Beasts showed no fear, ramming straight into the barrier and raising their lances to strike it again and again...

And Kiana's edgy declaration continued. "You took everything from me. And today, I will devour everything, because I am Honkai. I am the Honkai Queen!"

Golden energy bloomed from the Queen once more, scattering over the Honkai Beasts like some kind of buff. Their strength surged, instantly smashing a gap into the mechs' energy barrier. The Titan Mechs at the breach were immediately crushed by the swarming Honkai Beasts...

The breach triggered a chain reaction. As the mechs at the gap were destroyed, the opening in the energy barrier grew larger and larger until it was completely shattered by the frenzied Honkai Beasts. With nothing left to stop them, the insect-like swarm pounced directly on the Titan Mechs behind the barrier...

Even though the Titan Mechs resisted, even though each individual mech was stronger than a Honkai Beast, they were overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The number of mechs kept falling, while the number of Honkai Beasts continued to rise. It seemed the Honkai Beasts inside the wormholes were endless!

From above, the number of Honkai Beasts on the ground had already reached several hundred—perhaps even over a thousand...

P.S.: Although I don't plan to follow the main storyline chapters completely, how could I miss such a grand scene? Step back, I'm about to show off. Auntie Himeko can't give you your final lesson, so I will! The screenshot is the illustration—Mihoyo really is an animation company held back by making games!

At this moment, it was the day of judgment! (199 Monthly Ticket Achievement)

"Whoosh..."

At that moment, fighter jets flew overhead, while the Valkyrie squad from the Neon Branch finally arrived fashionably late...

Perhaps because they were facing the Queen's threat, the Neon Branch and Anti-Entropy had reached a consensus and launched a joint attack on her!

Anti-air missiles, ground-attack missiles, Warhammer Mech missiles, battleship missiles, plasma shells—whatever they had, fire it all at once!

To prevent the Queen from continuing to summon Honkai Beasts, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal unleashed their maximum firepower directly at her. In an instant, the entire sky was covered by missiles. Even if the Queen had a shield, could she block this?

"Hmph..."

Yet the Queen merely sneered. The light from the missiles reflected in her golden eyes, while her expression remained utterly calm. Just as the attacks were about to reach her, she waved her right hand forward.

"Snap!"

With only a light sound, the Queen snapped her fingers...

Along with the snap, countless Honkai Wormholes appeared before the Queen. Every approaching missile was sucked into the wormholes, and that barrage of countless missiles was instantly neutralized by the Queen...

"This..."

"What?"

The commanders of the Neon Branch and Anti-Entropy fleet were dumbfounded. How the hell were they supposed to fight this?

However, it was not over. After the missiles had been absorbed, the Honkai Wormholes vanished as well. Then a ball of purple energy condensed in the Queen's hand once more, and she tossed it into the sky...

Countless Honkai Wormholes appeared again around the Queen. All the missiles that had been fired earlier flew out from the wormholes, bombarding the entire city and both sides' forces without restraint. Even the Honkai Beasts on the ground were not spared. It was a full-scale carpet bombing, and everything within nearly a kilometer had become ruins...

Floating in the air and looking at the city that had been reduced to rubble, the Queen remained expressionless. So this was what destruction felt like? Since I came to this world, then let's begin destroying it from here!

Without any hesitation, Anti-Entropy's three battleships immediately activated their pulse-engine thrusters and fled. Although such an instant launch would cause permanent damage to the battleships, it was still a hundred times better than staying here and being torn apart by the Queen...

On the other side, Ling Feng, who had already run nearly a kilometer away with Rita, was still shaken. Fortunately, he had listened to Rita and Bronya's advice earlier. Otherwise, he might have survived with the God-Slaying Armor, but Mei and Bronya would definitely have been finished...

Kiana, what kind of monster had she become? This was not power that belonged to a human at all...

"Whoosh..."

The ground forces had been wiped out, but they could not retreat from here either. The air forces launched an attack on the Queen as well, firing their cannons and missiles at the same time...

"Annoying..."

Facing the incoming missiles and cannon fire, the Queen could not even be bothered to turn her head. She casually snapped her fingers, and an invisible shockwave spread outward from her. The missiles and cannon fire exploded immediately, while a plane charging toward the Queen disintegrated in an instant before bursting into flames. The pilot's whereabouts were unknown...

Ling Feng: "..."

That ability was a little overpowered...

Watching the Queen's abilities, Ling Feng felt there was simply no way to fight her. If his guess was right, the Queen possessed the power to disrupt space. She had used her Spatial Ability to transfer the missiles and destroy the ground forces!

Against the planes' missiles, she used spatial energy to alter their internal structure and make them explode directly. The planes had also disintegrated because their structure was shifted by spatial energy!

Rita quietly stepped aside and called Otto. "Lord Otto, an emergency has occurred at the Neon Branch. Kiana... the Second Herrscher consciousness inside her has awakened. She has already eliminated a large number of Anti-Entropy and Neon Branch troops, and she is currently summoning Honkai Beasts to invade the city!"

"What? So soon?"

Upon hearing Rita's report, Otto found the news somewhat absurd. Kiana's growth and progress had always remained within his expectations and designs. Even the data Rita had sent from the academy last time was within his plan. So why had the Second Herrscher's consciousness awakened so quickly? This was... not right!

After thinking for a moment, Otto issued an order. "Rita, withdraw immediately. Have Team 233 withdraw as well. If they refuse, withdraw on your own. You are no match for her!"

"Then... Lord Otto, what about this city?"

When facing the Queen, Rita's first thought had also been to withdraw. She knew perfectly well that she was absolutely no match for the Queen, but there was another matter that concerned her...

"Rita, follow orders!"

Otto did not explain much. "We currently have no way to stop her. I have already sent an evacuation order to the Neon Branch. As for this city, even this island, they can only leave it to fate!"

"This... understood, Bishop!"

Though Rita hesitated, she decisively accepted the order. In her judgment, she knew that Lord Otto's command was the wisest course of action!

Against the Queen, even Anti-Entropy's powerful elite mech forces had been completely wiped out. If she went up against her, Rita did not think she had even a tenth of a chance of winning. No, she could not fly, so her chances of winning were zero!

"Captain, we need to leave!"

Returning to Ling Feng's side, Rita immediately urged him to retreat. "Kiana is currently controlled by the Second Herrscher's consciousness, and the Second Herrscher's power is far beyond anything we can contend with. Before the Queen destroys the air harbor, we should leave at once!"

"What about Kiana? Are we just going to abandon her?"

Ling Feng did not want to retreat. That was Kiana—one of the Valkyries in his squad, the captain of his squad, and even more... someone he had to protect!

"Kiana will be fine. At least for now, no one can hurt her!"

Rita silently looked at Ling Feng. No unnecessary explanation was needed. She only needed to state the truth...

"Kiana..."

Mei was reluctant to leave. She turned back to look at the Queen still floating in the air, unable to imagine that her close friend had become like this. And... why had she never known about the Second Herrscher?

"Mei, I'll stay with you!"

Bronya reached out and took Mei's hand. She did not say whether she wanted to leave or stay. She only intended to act together with Mei!

"Not good, she's coming over!"

Rita suddenly cried out in alarm, because she saw the Queen walking toward them...

"Retreat first!"

Ling Feng could no longer waste time. He scooped Mei up and ran. If they delayed any longer, Mei, Bronya, and even Rita might die here. Kiana as she was now—the Honkai Queen—was simply too powerful...

"Do you think you can still escape?"

However, a Honkai Wormhole suddenly appeared before them. The Queen stood expressionlessly in the path of the four, pointing at Mei. "Especially you, my other half. Didn't you want to become one with me? Now, I'm here!"

.

P.S.: 199 Monthly Tickets achieved!

Also, everyone, I am the Queen. My power is currently sealed. Vote for me to break the seal, and once it is broken, I'll help you destroy the place you most want destroyed—whether it's a school or a company. If you dare to vote, I dare to destroy it!

The last person who dared speak to me like that has already been smacked!

"Kiana, wake up! Don't let yourself be controlled, Kiana!"

Mei hurriedly called Kiana's name, hoping to awaken Kiana's consciousness, though she knew it was almost impossible!

"Hmph!"

The Queen said nothing. She silently snapped her fingers, and a massive boulder appeared above the four of them...

"Move!"

Ling Feng immediately held Mei and rolled forward to dodge. Rita flipped to the right, while the mechanical dog crashed into Project Bunny, knocking Bronya and Project Bunny together out of the boulder's range...

Then, the Queen extended her right hand forward...

"Huh? Mei..."

Mei, who had been in Ling Feng's arms, was directly pulled over by the Queen's power. He could not hold onto her at all!

"Wonderful, Mei!"

The Queen hugged Mei directly and smiled. "How lovely. You were by my side when I awakened, and now, become one with me again, my other half..."

"Let Mei go..."

Ling Feng leaped forward, wielding Chiyou as he slashed at the Queen...

"Snap!"

With a casual snap of her fingers, Ling Feng was sent flying, crashing straight into a building behind him...

"Captain?"

Rita hurried toward Ling Feng, while Bronya deployed Project Bunny's weapon system. However, she did not dare open fire. The lessons taught by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were still fresh in her mind.

"Captain... no, Kiana, don't do this..."

Mei struggled to break free, but the Queen had completely restrained her with her power...

The Queen reached toward Mei's chest, Honkai energy gathering in her hand. "Your power will be inherited by me..."

"Whoosh... don't even think about it!"

At that moment, Mei activated her Herrscher consciousness as well, and purple lightning appeared around her once again!

As the saying went, if magic had to defeat magic, then a Herrscher should be able to defeat a Herrscher too, right? Mei decisively chose to use the Herrscher's power here. Even if she became a Herrscher, she still had to save Kiana...

"Hmph, a futile struggle."

However, the Queen merely brushed Mei with one hand. The violent lightning vanished immediately, and the Herrscher consciousness disappeared with it. "Don't forget who the true owner of this power is. Now, shall we begin the fusion?"

The Queen released powerful Honkai energy from her hand, directly drawing a translucent sky-blue gem from Mei's chest. It was one of the Herrscher Core fragments implanted in Mei's body: the Conquest Gem, the Conquest Gem representing the power of lightning...

"This is my power..."

The Queen reached for the Conquest Gem. As long as she fused with it again, she would gain even greater power...

(Four? No, definitely six!)

Suddenly, a sense of danger appeared in the Queen's mind. She hurriedly deployed her Honkai shield, but a powerful gravitational force struck her and sent her flying...

The Conquest Gem lost its restraints and returned to Mei's body, but Mei had already fallen unconscious. Fortunately, the process of extracting the gem had been interrupted. Otherwise, Mei would most likely have died directly...

When Anti-Entropy implanted the gem in her back then, Mei's life had become almost bound to the Conquest Gem. Losing the gem was equivalent to losing her life.

The mechanical dog rushed out in time, caught Mei, and quickly ran back!

"Captain, we can retreat now."

After saving Mei, Rita still urged Ling Feng to leave quickly. Though they had ambushed the Queen while she was distracted, they had not caused any substantial damage. Once the Queen recovered, they would still be no match for her!

"No, we can't get away."

Ling Feng shook his head slightly. Looking at the Queen, who had risen to her feet in the distance, he smiled helplessly. "I don't think we can escape under the Queen's abilities. Rita, Bronya, take Mei and leave first."

"Captain? What are you planning to do?"

Even Rita, who had always been decisive, hesitated at this moment. She knew what Ling Feng intended to do, but she did not want him to do it...

"I'm not planning anything. I just want to teach Kiana a lesson."

Ling Feng pulled up Mei's Plasma Shadow Show from the ground and said, "Mei has always taken such good care of Kiana and loved her so much, yet Kiana is hurting Mei like this. If I, as the captain, don't show any reaction at all, then I really would be nothing but decoration!"

"Captain..."

Rita wanted to say something more. She desperately wanted to stop Ling Feng, yet reason told her that at a time like this, she should follow his arrangements. And besides... if her past truly could meet the captain from the future, then the captain definitely would not die here!
