Kevin Talks to a Girl About His Ex / As Thunder Splits the Sky, the Herrscher of Thunder Returns!
"No." The plot itself wasn't funny, but Su couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Kevin squatting by the roadside eating instant noodles with a cold expression.
Everyone looked at Su, who suddenly started laughing, with a puzzled expression.
Kevin gave a specific method: there is only one way to save Kiana, and that is for Raiden Mei to become the Herrscher of Thunder.
At that time, Kiana will have one less Herrscher Core eroding her body, thus slowing down the rate of physical deterioration and buying her more time.
Mei recalled the strange physical condition she had been experiencing recently.
Mei didn't hesitate at all. Her only worry was that she would be controlled by the Honkai. But Kevin told her not to worry. What she should worry about most was that she could save Kiana once, but she couldn't save her forever.
"She will inevitably use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to stand up for those around her and for the world, pushing herself to the brink of death—until she gives up her life."
Kevin's tone was tinged with a numb sadness, his pupils were empty, as if devoid of human emotion; he had seen and experienced far too much.
"I have seen countless people like her. Even in the face of death and fear, they still firmly do what they believe is right... They are gone, and not one of them has come back."
Mei wanted to refute Kevin, but she didn't know where to begin. She could only deceive herself in her heart, telling herself that she wouldn't let this happen, but she also knew that what Kevin said was true.
Kevin offered Mei another path: to join World Serpent and work with them to destroy the Honkai, capture the Herrscher, and seal their powers, preventing the Herrscher of the Void from gaining more strength.
"Only by leaving Kiana's side can you truly protect her from danger."
"And the moment the Stigmata Project is completed, you and she will be able to return to being 'human'."
Every word Kevin said pierced Mei's heart like a sharp blade. Although she didn't want to admit it, the audience still felt that Kevin was right.
Judging from the meteor shower in the sky and the suggestion to absorb all the Honkai energy in the sky, Kiana will definitely do as Kevin said.
"Okay..." Sakura didn't know what words to use to describe this scene. Mei had finally found Kiana, but who would have thought that she would have to leave Kiana in order to save her?
"A fine knife."
Sakura was ultimately described as a sword.
Mobius pinched Yaqing hard to vent his anger.
Vill-V realized something was amiss and voiced her doubts. "I remember Nha Trang was initially made the Third Herrscher through an experiment where Cocolia implanted the Gem of Conquest. How come Kevin says she became the Chosen Herrscher?"
"Experimentation and selection are not a paradox."
Mei said.
Just as Kevin and Mei were talking, a loud roar and a beam of light appeared. A huge cavern appeared in the sky, and the light shattered there, scattering like glass.
"The time has come. The door has been opened, and soon the Imaginary Tree will appear in this city."
Kevin told Mei to seize this opportunity to absorb the Honkai energy from the ley lines and become the Herrscher of Thunder again. However, if she wanted to truly save Kiana's life, she only had one path to take.
Kevin didn't pressure Mei to join World Serpent; he gave her time to make a decision.
"Raiden Mei, Kiana's fate is in your hands."
"I don't need to convince you, because you know better than I do..."
"—Her ideals could save the world, but not herself."
Kevin disappeared, and numerous Quantum Shadow appeared before Mei.
"Although Kevin gave Mei the right to decide, Mei couldn't decide at all," Sakura sighed.
As Sakura said, Mei would never give up on saving Kiana, so she would definitely join World Serpent. Even if she could make that decision, it would be difficult to change Mei's mind even if Kiana tried to persuade her to stay.
However, Elysia still hoped that Kiana could persuade Mei to stay.
She didn't want to see the scene of separation again.
As Mei fought the Quantum Shadow, the building began to shake, the earth began to tremble, and gale-force winds and torrential rain poured down through the cracks. Mei watched the scene before her in shock.
Is the sea level that flooded the city receding?
No, the entire city was being drawn by the towering pillar of light, which kept drifting towards the sky.
A muffled roar followed, then the booming of an explosion, and then the deafening sound of a collapse.
Finally, there was light, a dazzling white light.
The woman's figure and the appearance of a six-winged dragon were reflected in the broken glass.
It resembled a scene from the apocalypse.
"Could it be that the Imaginary Tree is about to take root and sprout from underground?" Pardo had a bold guess.
"The Imaginary Tree, though nominally a tree, is more like a theory that Otto defined," May shook her head. "It's less about taking root and sprouting and more about rising from the sky."
Did I see it wrong?
Fu Hua felt that she saw the image of a woman in the fleeting glimpse of the lens.
However, the lens was moving too fast, so she couldn't see it clearly.
Chapter 260 Kevin Talks About His Ex with Girls
[Einstein and Theresa aboard the Hyperion were also attacked by the Quantum Shadow, and strong Honkai energy emanating from Changkong City was detected.]
"Speaking of which, when was the last time my Aunt came? It feels like ages ago."
Kiana's words made everyone realize that the last time Theresa appeared on the big screen was in the middle of the movie "Angel Rebuild".
Kevin reappears, gazing at the apocalyptic scene of Changkong City, lost in memories. The filter turns a dim yellow, making it immediately clear to the audience that it's a flashback scene.
A man and a woman sat on a bench, facing the setting sun. From behind, it was clearly Kevin and May; Kevin still radiated a sunny disposition.
When Mei saw this scene, she felt that it looked familiar. It seemed to be the first time Kevin asked her out when they were studying at the Chiyu Academy, before they had established a relationship.
The dialogue was exactly the same, the reactions were identical, except for the last sentence about going to the Mu Continent.
Mei suspected that Kevin had told Yaqing everything.
Yaqing and Su exchanged a glance.
When Kevin went out mysteriously, he wouldn't say anything when asked, but Su and Yaqing had already guessed what was going on. So they secretly followed Kevin out and overheard Kevin talking about other girls on his date with Mei.
Yaqing and Su had only one thought in their minds.
These two won't make it.
The curious group, led by Elysia, looked at Mei, seemingly wanting to get an answer from her. Did Kevin really do such a thing back then?
After all, a normal person is unlikely to mention past dates in front of a girl they have a crush on.
Mei Youyou nodded.
Kevin was filled with shame.
Elysia's mouth dropped open. She had thought it was a story made up by Yaqing, but it turned out to be true. The thought of Kevin doing something like that made everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha~~!!"
"Kevin, you should be thanking your lucky stars that Mei didn't kick you away," Sakura teased with a laugh.
Some viewers were moved by the fact that Kevin was once as cold as ice, now had a sunny and cheerful side.
Besides, they also had another thought: mentioning other girls during a date was truly a sign of Brainless Idiot ancestor, the source of Kaslana's bloodline.
It was this brief memory that made them even more curious about the story of the Previous Era —how desperate and sorrowful it must have been for the sunny young man to become the way he is now.
The memory ends here. Kevin opens his eyes and looks at the city that blends into the light. Everything that humanity is proud of and cherishes becomes incredibly fragile at this moment.
On the other side of the city, Mei struggled to open her eyes. Amidst the raging storm and the apocalyptic scene, she looked around at the completely ravaged city and worried about Kiana on the Helios. She ran for her life.
The Quantum Shadow Quantum Shadow had become even more ferocious, blocked her path. During the battle with the Quantum Shadow, Mei's head began to ache more and more. Suddenly, she heard Kiana's voice.
She looked at Kiana with surprise and worry, especially when she thought about the other person's wound.
Kiana took the initiative, questioning Mei about when she ran away, asking if she knew how worried everyone was.
She calmly told Mei to go back, her gaze fixed on the pillar of light. She was going to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to close the huge hole in the sky and resolve the source of this storm.
Mei was stunned by Kiana's words, but after she came to her senses, she realized that she couldn't stop Kiana's determination at all.
Even when faced with Mei's gaze, Kiana's answer remained resolute.
"I want to do what I can do and take on the responsibilities I should take."
A strong wind blew up, Kiana leaped onto the dragon's back once more, giving Mei a big smile, just like before, before flying towards the distant halo.
Kiana —no—!
Mei kept calling out, but all her voices were drowned out and vanished by the surging light, disappearing along with the departing figure, never to be seen or touched again.
Kiana's determination and Mei's pain dealt another blow to the audience, and at this moment, they stood firmly on Mei's side.
Seeing Kiana disregard her own injuries and go to resolve the disaster in Changkong City, Theresa felt both heartache and anger.
The screening room was completely silent, except for Mei's final, heart-wrenching scream on the screen.
Kiana suddenly had a bad feeling.
When she first saw this scene, she thought she looked incredibly cool. But upon closer reflection, she realized that if the people around her saw it, they would definitely be angry at her for disregarding her own injuries.
"Aunt... Mei... hehe."
Kiana scratched her head and grinned foolishly.
Seeing this, Theresa, Mei, and Himeko didn't say much.
In a daze, Mei seemed to see Kiana reaching out her hand on the rooftop at the Chiyu Academy.
"I don't know when it started, but I'm no longer afraid of the dark..."
"... because I know that there is a light that will always be there."
Mei struggled to her feet, her gaze piercing through the raging storm. The countless Quantum Shadow rushed towards that figure, and with each collision, a golden flash successfully pierced through.
Mei knew that each ray of light represented Kiana's burning life.
Mei, her body trembling uncontrollably. She ran towards that figure, feeling the same helplessness as when Durandal took Kiana away, her lips repeatedly pleading for Kiana to return.
The flashback scenes, coupled with Mei sobs and helplessness, brought tears to the eyes of the moviegoers. From Mei's repeated pleas for Kiana's return, they could feel that helplessness.
Eden kept handing Elysia tissues.
"If Mei still has some hesitation, Mei 'Kiana actions are exactly the same as Kevin's. It's like she's made up her mind for Mei." Mei sighed; Mei joining World Serpent was a done deal.
"Why?! Why did you have to do this to Mei and Kiana?" Pardo cried, tears and snot streaming down her face.
During Mei's battle with the Quantum Shadow, her headache worsened until she was lost in memories.
The storyline from the promotional video was brought to the big screen. Step by step, each step brought back memories of Kiana's past, as if foreshadowing that those warm days would never return.
Mei ran towards the direction Benares had fallen, staring in despair at the scene before her; a greatsword-shaped weapon was still embedded in the dragon's back.
Although we had already seen this scene in the promotional video, its appearance in the main storyline, combined with the previous plot, completely stunned us.
Pardo stared blankly at the big screen.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds.
That's too ruthless.
This method of cutting flesh with a dull knife is even more unacceptable.
Chapter 261 When thunder rips through the sky, it heralds the return of the Raiden Queen!
"Why? Why can't Mei and Kiana be like Bronya and Seele?"
Pardo had this question. Although there were knives in the previous movie, they weren't this outrageous. Besides, Bronya still had a happy ending in the movie. But in this movie, Mei's departure was already inevitable.
"It's different. It's just a movie. Who knows if Bronya and Seele will get hurt later?" Mobius ruthlessly shattered the little Kitty's fantasy.
"But then again, Bronya did get stabbed less than Mei and Kiana," Mei said, recalling this question.
Why does Bronya receive such treatment, even though they are both from the same the Trio?
