Himeko Is Dead? Kiana Got Cucked?!

Kiana Sirin has appeared!

But Raven didn't. After seeing Mei's determination to protect Kiana, she let Kiana go. Later, she also saw Kiana's actions in saving Sky Dome City.

The fact that she just referred to Kiana as "the Herrscher of the Void" suggests that her hatred has actually diminished considerably.

"It seems Raven had to stay in World Serpent for some reason. Could it be that she might St. Freya. Freya and become a Valkyrie later?"

Elysia was shocked by her own guess.

This week's storyline begins with Mei and Raven, and viewers can't help but expect Mei to take up a significant portion of the episodes. After all, last week's story focused on Seele and Dark Seele, so it's not unreasonable for this week to focus on Mei and Kiana.

"Rather than saying that Raven will join the main characters, it's more likely that Raven and Mei are chatting so intimately that Mei might take a hit for Mei later."

Mei's words instantly froze the atmosphere in the room.

"No... it can't be that bad, can it?"

Sakura forced a smile and tried to smooth things over.

[The scene shifts to noon the next day, where Mei and Raven are dealing with the third warehouse mentioned in the report. Mei is responsible for dealing with the out-of-control mechs in the warehouse, while Raven goes to the warehouse manager to gather information.]

Mei walked into the warehouse alone. Taking them one by one was too troublesome, so she decided to take care of all the enemies at once. Lightning flashed, and just as Mei was surrounded by the enemies, the next second, the enemies turned into ashes and disappeared.

Mei suddenly looked in a certain direction.

Hey, did you miss me?

Raven was holding a high-tech sniper rifle, its muzzle glowing with a dazzling blue light. Mei recognized it at a glance as Divine Key, and Raven explained.

This Divine Key has its own feelings; it is the Third Divine Key, the Key of Judgment, the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins, forged from the Herrscher of Thunder Core.

Raven used the example of the Night Owl stealing the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins to explain to Mei that the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins depend on the compatibility with the user, and will have different forms in the hands of different people.

She guessed that the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins of Purification held a hidden meaning, perhaps because it was originally designed to have seven forms, but she had only seen four. Raven also mentioned that once, when it was in a bad mood and injured, it transformed into a slingshot while on a mission.

Although it wasn't the first appearance of the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins, the audience was instantly amazed to learn that the sniper rifle in Raven's hand was Divine Key.

It's important to know that none of the Divine Key currently available are weak.

The Judgement of Shamash that brought the Finality, the Abyss Flower that can both kill and save, the Feather of the Wind can be instantly pulled into an illusion, the Void Archives that possesses its own consciousness, and the Judah's Oath.

That's really impressive, and it's also incredibly classy.

Upon seeing the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins, Sakura's eyes lit up. She stared at it quietly, as if the weapon held a great attraction for her. She believed that in her hands, the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins could definitely be transformed into a katana.

"Pfft."

Elysia couldn't help but smile.

A vision flashed in her mind: the sniper rifle in Raven's hand suddenly transformed into a slingshot. She was stunned, and so were the enemies.

"If May and Kevin both Previous Era, then I suspect that the person who developed this Divine Key was..."

Mobius glanced at Vill-V.

Without a doubt, Mobius and Vill-V had known each other for over ten years, so she was well aware of each other's wildly imaginative ideas. She wouldn't be surprised if the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins turned into lipstick during a battle, let alone a slingshot.

Vill-V saw the look in Mobius's eyes.

"A great idea! If only it could be turned into a lipstick, it could be used for both fighting and taking care of daily life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Vill-V's eyes lit up.

Mobius waved his hand.

She knew that Vill-V would think that way.

"Uh... turning it into lipstick or something, isn't that going too far?"

"Not at all, not at all!"

To Blanca's surprise, Elysia also agreed with Vill-V's idea.

Perhaps it's because the lipstick fits Elysia's idea.

"Using the Third Divine Key in front of the Third Herrscher is hilarious."

"Pardo said."

Mei's gaze towards the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins was so complex that it was hard to bear.

Mei asks Raven for information about the doll.

Raven replied that the Gray Serpent's behavior was suspicious, because the doll was not acting alone, nor were multiple dolls committing crimes at the same time; rather, it was being assisted by humans.

Since the dolls only fight at night, Raven took Mei to where the children were. It was a heavily guarded villa in the forest, with someone always guarding the exit.

Mei crouched down and touched Little Void's face. Instead of going inside, she dismantled Raven's platform and waited at the door.

After Raven finished talking with the children and came out, he chatted with Mei for a while, then suddenly smiled and mentioned that a little boy with a Stigmata had come here yesterday with a note with an address written on it.

Mei is still being stubborn.

The little boy said he had been kidnapped, and the place where he was kidnapped was the area where Mei was on a mission yesterday.

"That's quite a coincidence."

Mei tilted her head back, not daring to look into the Raven's eyes.

"Yes, have you noticed anything?"

The Raven's words were pointed, and its eyes held a smile.

"No."

Mei crossed her arms and remained expressionless.

"Really? Have you seen a tall, sweet-looking woman with slanted hair handing out small cards with this address printed on them?"

The Raven gave a half-smile, its tone playful.

"... Never seen it before."

Mei looked away.

"What a pity, I really wanted to get to know him."

The Raven sighed, seemingly genuinely feeling regretful.

"I'll keep an eye out for you."

Mei still refuses to admit it.

"Then why don't you just pass on a message to her for me?"

"What do you want to say...?"

"Just tell them, this isn't a daycare center. Don't send just anyone here. If it happens again... there will be a charge—and it won't be cheap."

Mei caught the Raven's teasing tone and replied through gritted teeth, "I'll remember that. If I see her, I'll pass on the message for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Is this flirting? This must be flirting!"

Pardo suddenly stood up, startling Sakura who was sitting in the front row.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Sakura-nee..."

Pardo immediately chickened out.

"I don't know who Mei learned to lie so blatantly now; she can lie without batting an eye."

Ling sighed. If it were Mei from before, she would probably blush as soon as she lied. But now, Mei doesn't even bother to think before she lies. Even if Raven points it out by name, she will still stubbornly insist that it wasn't her.

Viewers were initially worried that Mei's gentle personality might lead to her being bullied after joining World Serpent, but now it seems that Mei is doing much better than they expected. Not only has she become friends with Raven, but she's also doing well by not bullying others.

"So this is the address. I thought it was St. Freya Academy."

Elysia guessed wrong.

It should be said that many viewers guessed wrong.

398

Chapter 398 Himeko is dead? Kiana got bullied?!

Even though the address given is Raven's, many viewers still think that the little boy who appears now is Adam, the protagonist of Post-Honkai Odyssey. On second thought, it makes sense, since the headmaster of the St. Freya Academy is currently Anti-Entropy.

There is currently no storyline about the St. Freya Academy at all. If viewers didn't know that St. Freya actually has quite a few students, they would suspect that it was an academy specifically for the Trio families.

Mei couldn't help but ask about the child's fate, Raven gave her a satisfactory answer. Afterward, she drove her expensive sports car to the beach.

Mei habitually sat in the back seat, but after being teased by Raven again, she obediently sat in the passenger seat.

It's worth noting that among the sea of comments, there was a striking green comment. "[Spring breeze has turned Kiana green again, when will Mei on my return?]"

Bronya thought that upon seeing this comment, Kiana would at least try to comfort Mei in a silly way, if not be angry. However, to her surprise, Kiana remained silent, which was unusual for her.

"What's wrong with her?"

This was as surprising to Bronya as Rosalia had become so composed.

"..."

Mei remained silent.

While comforting Kiana performed the voice acting right under Mei's nose, which made Mei feel somewhat depressed at that moment.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Bronya scratched her head and played with her signature drill-shaped curls.

"Sister Bronya, let's continue watching."

Seele noticed the strange silence that was gradually falling and turned Bronya's attention back to the television.

On the bus, Raven shared the intelligence she had gathered and her analysis of the doll, which led to the location of tonight's mission. As they chatted, Mei unconsciously started talking about the past.

It seems that everyone who was kind to her didn't have a good ending.

"Some things, perhaps... don't even exist anymore, not even the concept of 'possibility'."

The camera suddenly cuts to Mei's memories. It was several dozen days ago when Mei opened all of World Serpent's search records for the Plague Gem. The records clearly stated that nothing had been found, and she rushed over to ask Kevin.

Mei didn't believe that even if the gem fell into the Imaginary Space, there would definitely be traces of it. She felt that Kevin would know something.

Kevin understood the meaning behind Mei's words: she didn't want to know the whereabouts of the Herrscher Core, but rather wanted to ask that person.

"She is dead."

Kevin's icy voice sent a chill down Mei, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Although she knew Kevin was telling the truth, she decided to continue her investigation.

Kevin's icy voice not only Mei, but also shattered the defenses of all the viewers.

It's important to know that a large portion of the audience didn't believe Himeko was really dead; they wanted to see her alive or dead. But Kevin 'Kevin words were like a final, definitive statement.

They prefer to believe that Himeko will return as the Herrscher of Flame, making them cry again.

"Ah?!"

Elysia was intently watching Mei and Raven discuss clues about the doll when the sudden turn of events left her completely bewildered.

Elysia is one of those who believe Himeko is still alive.

After realizing what had happened, Elysia found it hard to accept.

"Himeko- Himeko, is she really dead?"

Kevin, in terms of status, strength, and background, belongs to the top tier of the Honkai series. If even he says Himeko is dead, then Elysia has no choice but to believe him.

Mobius frowned.

She didn't think that given Yaqing's personality, she would close the matter so soon; at the very least... she should bring it up again and put it through the wringer.

Therefore, she has reason to suspect that this is a smokescreen.

"Elysia, stop howling! Doesn't this seem familiar?"

Upon hearing Mobius's words, Elysia's crying stopped abruptly.

"Huh?"

"Mobius is right."

Vill-V nodded.

"Kevin's statement that Himeko dead seems to be deliberately misleading our thinking in that direction, just like last week when he made us think that Seele would fall out with Dark Seele."
