My Sister Is Bronya

These mechs weren't nearly as agile as Ishiu and the others, and Queen of Raiden's destructive power was undeniable. So, after just a brief encounter, these mechs were like candles in the wind, easily shattering into dust.

"This is the support you were talking about?" Kiana looked at Bronya in disbelief.

Bronya: "..."

"Forget it, just watch me!"

Seizing the moment when Queen of Raiden's attention was diverted by a Titan, Kiana pushed off with her feet, leaping five or six meters into the air. She then stomped hard on a nearby streetlamp, launching herself like a cannonball towards Queen of Raiden.

"Mei! Snap out of it!"

Kiana, like a protagonist in a hot-blooded shonen manga, had no idea about the virtue of keeping a low profile. Her voice rang out louder than anyone else's, as if she were afraid no one would know she was attacking.

Queen of Raiden, obligingly, turned her gaze towards Kiana. A flicker of cold light appeared in her eyes; she recognized this girl.

She didn't know when she had gained consciousness, but the moment she did, she knew with absolute certainty that she was not the owner of this body.

Although she didn't know why she was born, she had no intention of fighting the original owner for the body. However, from the moment she was born, a voice had been echoing in her ear, telling her to destroy human civilization and the world.

This voice made her incredibly agitated. To escape it, she chose to extend her consciousness to the original owner of the body, using her eyes to see the outside world.

Then, she saw the friends who had been very close to the original owner of this body drift away from her.

She saw the people who followed 'her,' wearing all sorts of smiles, but badmouthing 'her' behind her back.

She also saw the adults who had been very kind to 'her' before, acting like different people—cold and heartless, taking away many of 'her' possessions.

She personally witnessed 'her' fall from grace.

In response, she was furious. She didn't even want to admit that this weakling could be her original self.

If it were her, she would have unhesitatingly killed all those detestable people!

During this period, 'her' emotions were very low. Although she could still maintain a smile when facing others, her true feelings couldn't be hidden from the her who coexisted within the same body.

Until that day, 'she' met a boy.

The boy was handsome, spoke interestingly, and most importantly, he didn't care about 'her' identity. He treated 'her' like any ordinary girl and was willing to talk to her constantly.

Gradually, 'she' began to smile again. 'She' started interacting frequently with the boy, and through him, she heard many fascinating things.

For instance, in the distant Eastern kingdom, there were wondrous stories called the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In the West, there was the King of the Gods, Odin, and his two sons who loved and hated each other. There was also the legendary Fey Forest, and the Emperor of True Fragrance, and so on.

These stories were all very interesting.

The boy spoke at length, giving her a completely new perspective on the world. Even though she knew he wasn't telling her stories, she wanted to hear more from him. But the original body, this useless being, could only watch him leave.

In that case, she would take matters into her own hands and keep this interesting boy, making him her subordinate and keeping him by her side forever!

"Get... lost!"

Queen of Raiden's red lips parted slightly. Like the legendary god of thunder, with a single word, blades of divine punishment descended from the heavens.

Endless bolts of lightning, like writhing snakes, surged towards Kiana. Seeing the sky filled with lightning, Kiana gritted her teeth, pulled out her beloved USP54, and pulled the trigger. With the sound of gunfire, the bullets were instantly vaporized by the terrifying heat the moment they collided with the lightning.

"This is bad..."

Seeing her attack was ineffective, Kiana's face contorted in distress. She was in mid-air with nowhere to brace herself. Was she, such a peerlessly beautiful maiden, going to die at the hands of her lover today?

No! She hadn't even drunk Mei's Sister's Juice yet! How could she die like this!

"Ishiu, save me!"

Almost instinctively, Kiana shouted.

"Idiot."

The next second, a white streak tore through the sky. A dazzling blade light split the surging lightning pythons in two, like a piece of paper being ripped apart.

Ishiu grabbed Kiana by her slender waist and flung her away forcefully. Then, he tapped his left foot in mid-air, as if stepping on an invisible wall, and soared upwards, defying Newton's laws, to a position parallel with Queen of Raiden.

In that instant, violet pupils met icy blue demonic eyes.

In Ishiu's eyes, the death lines on Queen of Raiden were incredibly few. What surprised him most was that this entity who had suddenly appeared and taken over Raiden Mei's body had her lines tightly intertwined with Raiden Mei's. They were inseparable. If he were to cut them, it was highly likely that Raiden Mei would also be harmed.

However, this didn't stump Ishiu. Since he couldn't cut 'her,' he would cut off her source of power!

In Ishiu's sight, deep purple Honkai Energy was surging towards a specific point within Raiden Mei's body. If he could sever that connection, perhaps Raiden Mei's consciousness could return.

[Flash Sheath - Four Ghosts Annihilation!]

Without hesitation, Ishiu drew his blade. A sharp slash of light carved a cross in mid-air, shattering the lightning barrier surrounding Queen of Raiden.

"Hmm..."

A look of surprise flashed across Queen of Raiden's face. She gazed into Ishiu's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Human, your power seems very special."

"Who are you? Why are you possessing Mei's body? And what is your objective?" Seeing that the other party seemed open to communication, Ishiu asked. His body slowly descended in mid-air, landing on a streetlamp by the roadside.

"I am her, but she is not me. I am the controller of lightning," Queen of Raiden stated calmly. "As for my objective, I've already said it. I want you to stay."

"Why?" Ishiu asked, puzzled.

"I've taken a liking to you. I want you to become my subordinate," Queen of Raiden, being quite straightforward, didn't show any girlish shyness or embarrassment and revealed her objective directly.

"Huh?"

Ishiu blinked, clearly not expecting such a huge commotion to be caused for the sole purpose of him.

When did he become so charming?

"Don't even think about it! Ishiu belongs to Bronya and Seele!" Bronya shouted, enraged. Her Heavy Armored Bunny activated its full firepower, unleashing a barrage of missiles and bullets at the Queen of Raiden.

"Noisy." The Queen of Raiden waved her hand dismissively. The lightning barrier that Ishiu had just shattered reappeared, and as her Honkai Energy accumulated, the purplish-blue lightning gradually deepened to a dark purple, becoming even more powerful. Small arcs of electricity struck the ground, immediately creating small craters.

A dense lightning net enveloped the incoming bullets, ultimately vaporizing them all.

Bronya suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Even with her Heavy Armored Bunny, was it still not enough?

"Human, what is your choice?" The Queen of Raiden stared intently at Ishiu, her hair flowing like a demon god about to destroy the world, making it impossible to muster any thought of resistance. "Become my subordinate, and I will grant you eternal life and immense power. I will fulfill your every desire. What do you say?"

"Really? If I agree, you can grant my wish?" Ishiu blinked, seemingly tempted.

"That's right. I never go back on my word." The Queen of Raiden's lips curved slightly. She could already picture Ishiu becoming her subordinate and telling her stories every day.

"But I refuse!"

"What?!"

"The thing I, Ishiu, love most is telling arrogant people NO!" Ishiu reversed his grip on the dagger, his ice-blue demonic eyes fixed on her, his voice chilling. "Besides, I want to see the gentle Mei, not you, imposter!"

"Imposter... You dare call me an imposter?" The Queen of Raiden's expression instantly turned cold. She gazed at Ishiu with icy eyes, thinking that men truly needed to be disciplined before they would listen.

The next second, countless bolts of lightning exploded around her!

Chapter 74: The Herrscher of Thunder Has Fallen! (Crying)

(Still a bounty - 4K chapter)

"Very well, you have successfully angered me."

As the Queen of Raiden spoke with icy calm, countless bolts of lightning gathered around her, the dazzling light illuminating the pitch-black night sky as if it were day!

From afar, this area of concentrated lightning could be clearly seen even from tens of miles away.

Above the Queen of Raiden, the previously dark clouds faintly pulsed with blue lightning. She had somehow connected with heaven and earth, like a thunder god wielding divine authority, about to rain down punishment on the sinner who defied her will.

"This is bad!" Bronya's face changed drastically. She quickly shouted to Ishiu, "Ishiu! Run! She's using her ultimate!"

Ishiu, who had been standing ready, almost fell off the streetlight upon hearing Bronya's words.

He knew Bronya loved games, but at such a critical moment, when everyone was serious, her suddenly saying "ultimate" was just too much...

"Mei..." Kiana stared blankly at the Queen of Raiden sitting enthroned in the frosty sky. She tightened her grip on her baseball bat but didn't rush forward recklessly anymore, as she didn't want to cause Ishiu more trouble.

Although she hated to admit it, she couldn't handle Mei in her current state.

(I can't do anything.jpg)

So, she shouted loudly at Ishiu, "Brat! I'm leaving Mei to you! You have to bring her back!"

Bronya, standing nearby, almost had her Heavy Armored Bunny fire a shot at Kiana.

She was focused on telling Ishiu to run and escape the danger, and here Kiana was, pushing him into the fire as if he were her own brother.

"Yeah, I'll handle it." Ishiu nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at the surging lightning snakes dancing wildly in the sky. With a thought, he activated Reinforcement Magic.

Fine azure lines began to spread from Ishiu's chest, quickly surging towards his limbs. It was a peculiar sensation, a slight warmth, like hot water flowing over his arm, but it brought him a comprehensive physical enhancement.

Having already experimented with Reinforcement Magic in private, Ishiu had a good grasp of his suddenly increased physical abilities, ensuring it wouldn't affect his technique.

The blue lines crawled onto the left side of Ishiu's face, adding a touch of unique charm to his already handsome features.

"Human, I'll ask you one last time..."

"No need to ask, bring it on." Ishiu directly interrupted the Queen of Raiden, his Wolf Fang reflecting a cold glint under the purple lightning.

"Very well..." The Queen of Raiden let out a cold smile. Without hesitation, she pointed a finger at Ishiu and gently tapped.

"Thunder Punishment."

From within the pitch-black clouds, a thunderous roar erupted!

'BOOM—!'

Amidst the deafening roar, a bolt of heavenly lightning as thick as a water tank descended directly from the clouds. It was so fast that almost no one could react. The dazzling lightning illuminated the entire sky above Changkong City!

Kiana and Bronya had no time to react before the bolt of lightning pierced the streetlight Ishiu had been standing on. Furthermore, the powerful shockwave created when the heavenly lightning struck the ground tore apart everything within a hundred-meter radius!

Lightning snakes writhed, and shattered stones flew. Bronya and Kiana barely shielded themselves but couldn't withstand the violent shockwave. Both were flung away like rag dolls.

Fortunately, neither of them was an ordinary person. They quickly adjusted their postures in mid-air and landed safely on the ground three hundred meters away.

When they looked back at where Ishiu had been, they gasped.

On the asphalt road, a massive crater had been blasted, ten meters deep and over thirty meters in diameter. The air was filled with a burnt, foul smell – the result of the intense heat from the lightning instantly vaporizing rock, metal, grass, and trees.

"Ishiu!!!" Bronya froze for a second, then her face contorted in panic. She ran towards the spot as if mad, her heart pounding uncontrollably, almost leaping out of her throat.

Fortunately, this panic lasted only a few seconds. Bronya soon saw a shadow appear silently behind the Queen of Raiden.

[Flash Sheath - Azure Sky Reflection!]

Between heaven and earth, a deep, dark cloud suddenly appeared. Though seemingly thin, it easily enveloped the dazzling lightning, plunging the sky back into darkness.

The next moment, a beam of moonlight suddenly appeared in the air. A chilling, pale white light tore open a rift in the dark clouds, revealing the Queen of Raiden's face, which had suddenly changed.

To outsiders, it looked like moonlight, but to the Queen of Raiden, it was clearly the glint of a brilliant blade!

And within that brilliant sword energy, she was like a naked body, all defensive measures proving utterly useless before this strike, the shadow of death instantly engulfing her.

She could only watch helplessly as that beam of light tore through all the lightning, ultimately striking her.

'Pfft—!'

When Raiden Mei opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a warm embrace. She instinctively looked up, only to have a drop of warm liquid fall onto her cheek. She blinked in surprise, but quickly, from the taste and viscosity of the liquid, she knew what it was—blood.

"Ishiu!"

After Ishiu landed on the ground holding Raiden Mei, he could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Blood seeped from his mouth, and cracks appeared all over his body, from which crimson blood continuously flowed.

Ishiu never imagined that the backlash from using the strongest strike in the Seven Nights Assassination Technique for the first time would be so severe. No wonder it was only used when on the brink of death with the intention of mutual destruction in his memories. Still, its power had not disappointed.

It was fortunate that he had used Reinforcement Magic, so the backlash was manageable. Otherwise, he would likely have fainted by now, and in a half-dead state at that.

However, the result pleased him greatly. After cutting off the line through which the Queen of Raiden drew Honkai Energy, Raiden Mei had indeed returned.

Recovering her senses, Raiden Mei quickly picked Ishiu up from the ground. She held him in her arms, her face filled with anxiety and worry, large tears falling instantly.

She remembered what had happened just now. Although she didn't know why she had lost control or who the consciousness controlling her body was, she knew that Ishiu had become like this to save her.

"Ishiu!"

Just then, Bronya and Kiana also arrived. When Bronya saw Ishiu lying on the ground, her eyes immediately turned red, and her Heavy Armored Bunny raised its cannon, aiming at Raiden Mei.

"Let him go!"

"Bronya! What are you doing? She's not a Herrscher anymore, she's Mei!" Kiana spread her arms, quickly blocking the cannon's muzzle, and said to Bronya with some urgency.

"What do you know? She has already become a Herrscher. Even if she's back to normal now, she's still a Herrscher!" Bronya's expression was cold. As she spoke, she stepped past Kiana and approached Raiden Mei.
