Kiana and Mei Reunite, but It's Not a Happy One

Sirin's point is that although the body is Kiana, Bella was summoned by the Herrscher Core, which is why she couldn't wait to come and protect her queen, which is the Herrscher consciousness Sirin.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing because of me!"

Bella looked shy.

Mei's expression was strange, and she had a feeling that something was wrong.

Mei brought the unconscious Tesla back to the ship, and he quickly woke up. When he learned that Mei was going to go with Raven to find Kiana, he showed concern.

But Mei had already made up her mind; even if it meant making a sacrifice, she was determined to bring Kiana back.

The camera then shifts to the other side.

Raven, who had been waiting at Changkong Wall for some time, fell into deep thought. The "demon" she had always wanted to kill had not chosen to kill her after defeating her; the demon had even saved millions of lives in Sky Dome City.

The Raven's expression shifted between light and shadow, and a wavering began to form in its heart.

But soon, the sound of footsteps pulled her back to reality.

Mei's resolute determination and Raven's wavering are presented to the audience together, showcasing an ingenious plot technique, where two different inner worlds share the same goal at this moment.

"As expected, when the villain's heart begins to waver, that's about the time when she'll be redeemed and join the main characters."

As a seasoned anime fan, Ling has a bold guess: Raven's unusually large role in this movie—is it foreshadowing something? Is it foreshadowing Raven's betrayal of the World Serpent?

"It's not that bad. As long as Kevin is still in World Serpent, Raven has no reason to jump ship." As the eldest sister, Sakura had a different opinion. Given Raven's personality, it would be difficult for her to switch sides from being the strongest to joining St. Freya's side.

"But, sister, you have to understand that Raven is a mercenary. In her own words, she'll do anything as long as the money is right."

The sisters had a heated debate over whether the Raven had switched sides.

When Mei arrived, the two headed towards Kiana's direction and, as expected, encountered Benares. Through their close cooperation, they managed to defeat him with great difficulty.

Benares, however, persisted, trying to stand up again and again. Severely injured, it could hardly maintain its dragon form and reverted to its blue-white form.

Benares roared to the sky, its dragon roar seemingly containing countless sorrows and resentments, and blue tears streamed down its face.

Even as Honkai Beasts, its power is ultimately limited. Slammed into the water and plunged into the deep sea, only the flickering light in its pupils indicated that it was still alive, hinting at its unwillingness to accept defeat in this battle.

No! Bella! Bella! Ah!

Sirin didn't bother arguing with Kiana; her expression was like a man crying his eyes out, and his sobs sounded as if Bella were really dead.

This made Bella, who was sitting to the side, feel a little awkward.

I felt the atmosphere was already set, and it would be a bit awkward if I didn't die.

Kiana also felt a little embarrassed. Sirin was so heartbroken, and it would be really rude of her to argue with her.

"Why do I feel like Mei and Raven are more like villains than Benares?" Pardo scratched her head.

"She's crying!" Elysia looked at the tears streaming down Benares's face. "Unlike other Honkai Beasts, Bella has developed human emotions. She just wants to protect Sirin."

That's why people tend to sympathize with the weaker party, which is why Pardo feels that Mei and Raven are more like villains.

After dealing with Benares, Kiana was very close and there were no obstacles in their way, so the two became tense again.

Mei insisted on taking Kiana with her.

Raven must kill Kiana.

Unable to persuade each other, a conflict was inevitable.

When Mei faced the battle-hardened mercenaries, she quickly found herself at a disadvantage. Raven didn't hold back and began to use provocation, mocking Mei for being just an ordinary girl after losing her Herrscher Core.

"She was such a kind... gentle person... yet the world had to be so cruel to her...!"

The camera zoomed in, and a few streaks of purple lightning flashed in Mei's pupils.

"Huh? Honkai energy is gathering? Are you... out of your mind?" Raven thought in surprise.

"If sacrificing my life can bring her back... then I'd be happy to...!" Raven's claws, made of Honkai Steel, pressed down hard on Mei's blade, but she still ignored her own battered body.

"After all, she saved my life!"

"I know I've been hiding behind her all along, running away."

"But I have nowhere to run, I must protect her!"

Mei's pupils changed from purple to the purplish-red of Herrscher, and accompanied by an increasingly rousing background music, a spark of lightning surrounded her, becoming dazzling.

"As long as I have a breath left, I will never let you hurt her!!"

The blue-purple lightning was difficult for even Raven to resist, and her claws, made of Honkai Steel, were somewhat damaged by the lightning. However, when she looked at Mei, who was displaying great power in front of her, she actually smiled.

"It seems this is your choice."

The audience has forgotten how long it has been since Mei last displayed her power; they only saw the hardships and pain Mei on her journey to find Kiana.

Four months of setbacks.

The trend of using milk buds is very popular.

But the more it is suppressed, the more the audience looks forward to it. The performance Mei the Queen's Arrival and the Angel Rebuild is impressive. As one of the Trio main characters, what kind of exciting scenes will Mei have after becoming Herrscher?

How powerful must that be?

Chapter 253 Qi Ya's Reunion, But Not Joyful

Raven touched her slightly charred and melted Honkai Steel Claws. Seeing Mei's determination and strength, she decided to let Mei take Kiana away. Before disappearing, her voice echoed in Mei's ears.

"Raiden Mei, we will meet again."

"If you want to find me, you know where to go—"

Mei paid no attention to Raven's last words. She walked toward the light in the ruins and, after four months of suffering, saw Kiana lying unconscious and curled up on the ground.

"Finally, I've finally found you."

"Kiana."

Just as the audience was moved by Mei and Kiana's reunion, the camera slowly zoomed in, revealing purple lines extending downwards from Kiana's pretty face—traces of severe Honkai energy erosion.

The last one with purple markings on her face that left Signets on the audience was Himeko.

The moviegoers suddenly had a bad feeling.

Mei picked up the unconscious Kiana and brought her back to the Helios.

Although Kiana is temporarily out of danger after Tesla's surgery.

However, her physical condition will continue to deteriorate, as the Herrscher consciousness constantly stimulates the erosion of her core. Although Kiana's consciousness tries her best to resist, her body will collapse before that happens.

Especially considering that Kiana had absorbed enough Honkai energy to destroy a city before this, the situation was even more dire.

"Mei, calm down and listen to me."

"Two months..."

"The time left for her, the time left for us... is less than two months."

Upon hearing that Kiana only had two months to live, Mei froze on the spot, not even reacting to the blade falling to the ground, completely falling into silence.

Not only was Mei stunned on screen, but the movie audience was also dumbfounded. They felt that Kiana wouldn't die, but they didn't dare to gamble on who the screenwriter of this movie was.

In their view, if Yaqing had been the screenwriter of this movie, Kiana would have a chance to live.

What they didn't know was that Yaqing was the screenwriter for every single film.

"No way! Mei and Kiana finally met, and she proved that she could protect Kiana. Why is Kiana being Honkai by the Honkai and only has two months left? Can't the writers write a decent plot? Why do they have to write something so tragic?"

Theresa wasn't the only one with this idea.

The thought popped into the minds of moviegoers: the sad storylines they saw in the Honkai series made them want to see something sweet.

When Elysia heard Tesla say that Kiana only had two months left, her reaction was the same as Mei's: she glared angrily at Yaqing with her beautiful eyes.

Miss Pink Elf no longer believes that Honkai is a sunny, cheerful, and positive story about a beautiful girl saving the world.

"Kiana won't die." Mei was the first to react. "Kevin's condition for Mei to join World Serpent is probably to save Kiana. We should be able to do that with the technology from the Previous Era."

"If Kiana really dies like this, then we won't be able to complete the Final Lesson Himeko taught us, which was to transform this imperfect world into the way we desire it. Besides, she's the protagonist."

Mei analyzed the plot development, while Mobius analyzed the anime's reputation. Hearing that their analyses were the same, Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.

"But a knife is indispensable."

Mobius's words made Elysia exclaim, "No! I hate watching angst! I want to see sweet and loving scenes!"

The camera pans to the other side.

Raven is communicating with Gray Serpent and can hear that World Serpent seems to be conducting experiments in Changkong City, and that they have already identified the power World Serpent needs—the power that allows the Herrscher of the Void to ascend.

"They're going to talk about those kinds of experiments again. What does Kevin... he really think of life?!"

As a doctor, Sue saw Kevin in the story as someone who was utterly inhumane and could not tolerate such experiments, even if they could fight against the Honkai.

Kevin was startled.

Sue realized she had overreacted and said apologetically, "Kevin, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the one on the screen."

Kevin chuckled awkwardly, glancing at the muscles that Su's white shirt couldn't conceal. He swallowed hard and had an idea: Su could kill him with one punch.

Of course, he couldn't say that when he first saw the script, he thought he looked really cool in the role, and he was more enthusiastic about the voice acting than he was about playing video games.

She was secretly relieved that Yaqing hadn't said anything.

Yaqing didn't not want to talk about it, but she couldn't.

Watching them angrily berate Kevin for his madness in the story, Yaqing felt an even stronger longing for the Elysian Realm.

Watching them criticize Otto for committing so many sins in order to revive Kallen, Yaqing felt even more eager for the Elysian Realm.

"Conducting experiments in Changkong City? What about Little Void and the others?" Elysia asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Elysia, I can tell that Nata's feelings for the children are genuine. She will definitely protect them before the experiment begins," Eden comforted her softly.

Front row.

"Another ascension?"

Upon seeing the Gray Serpent, the word "feathering" was mentioned again.

Kiana's little head was filled with big questions.

"Could it be that there are several stages to being Herrscher?"

"I don't know." Little Knowledge shook her head.

"I didn't ask you."

Hey! You Brainless Idiot!

Void Cage, a miniature garden.

Eight large characters appeared at the top of the screen.

The golden light flowed, changed, and reflected ever-changing scenes; this was a realm created by the Void Archives.

Two men sitting opposite each other. Two men of high status, capable of influencing world affairs, isolated from the outside world.

The scene that appeared on screen didn't require much explanation, but viewers could immediately guess that it was the scene where Otto and Kevin were working together, which piqued their interest.

They were very Otto about what Otto had offered or promised to make the obsessed Kevin cooperate with Schicksal.

Could it be that we are handing over the First Divine Key, Void Archives, without a second thought?

"Could Kevin have been tricked by Otto and become crippled?"

Others only see Kevin's strength and coldness, placing him on the same level as Otto, referring, of course, to his intelligence.

However, in the eyes of everyone in the Golden Courtyard, Kevin is far inferior to Otto in terms of wisdom. Unless they flip the table, Kevin's "intelligence" is not enough to be sold out by Otto, and he would still be counting money for him.

Kevin seemed to sense the way his roommates were looking at him.

Strive to prove yourself.

"You can't look at me with prejudice! In the story, I've lived for over 50,000 years. As a pioneer of Previous Era, how could I not handle Otto!"

Perhaps it has nothing to do with seniority; Dumb Theresa expression may be inherited from the Kaslana family bloodline.

Kevin put his hands in his pockets, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
