The Thunder Roars; the Time to Part Has Come (Continued)

Even after hearing Fu Hua say that she would apologize to Little Knowledge after rescuing Kiana, no one thought that Little Knowledge would forgive Fu Hua so easily, especially considering Little Knowledge's temper and personality.

"Kiana, isn't it funny? Why are you keeping such a long face all day?"

Bronya finally couldn't help but ask.

Kiana did not explain.

Instead, he replied calmly.

"You'll see when you keep watching."

Bronya felt that this was completely different from the usual Kiana, and there must be something strange about it, so she quickly withdrew her smile.

"So far, the puppet has seized two Herrscher Authority, making it a triple-core Herrscher. Sister Bronya, at this rate, the puppet is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with."

Seele was somewhat worried, as the dolls' power was constantly increasing, while Bronya and the others' power was constantly decreasing.

"Seele, don't worry. Not to mention a triple-core Herrscher, even a six-core Sirin was destroyed, wasn't she?"

Bronya waved her hand.

"Besides, Kiana is now a triple-core Herrscher, and with Mei's support, she will definitely be able to defeat the Herrscher of Domination."

Void, Death, Flame, Thunder VS Reason, Knowledge, Domination.

Four to three.

The advantage lies with me!

Immediately afterward, the episode ended and automatically jumped to the next episode. Upon seeing the episode title, viewers couldn't help but get excited again: the final scene with lightning flashes, clearly related to Mei.

For some reason, the episode titles this week are all very interesting.

It's completely different from the previous scenes and acts.

The curtain falls on reunion, the curtain falls on entanglement, the curtain falls on lightning...

Having resolved the puppet's shameless hostage plan, Fu Hua and Bronya were finally able to unleash their full potential and headed towards Kiana. However, to their surprise, the puppet quickly used its power of Herrscher of Sentience to stop them.

The puppet, possessing both the power of the Herrscher of Sentience and the power of the Herrscher of Reason, is extremely difficult to deal with.

Just as Bronya and Fu Hua found their way, the puppets, who had been so smug, suddenly let out a miserable howl, interrupting their attempts to stop them, and red lightning burst forth from their bodies.

"Ughh..."

The camera pans to the other side, where the doll lets out a piercing scream filled with pain, weakly questioning Mei about what she has done.

Mei casually stated that she had simply won against them in a contest of strength.

The puppet seemed to have gone mad; it couldn't understand why other Herrscher could have their powers taken away, but the Herrscher of Thunder couldn't?!

"If you want to know why, it's simple—you're too weak."

Mei didn't seem to be Theater of Domination, but rather surveying her own territory. Her eyes were disdainful, domineering, and cold, as if the dolls were nothing more than ants in her eyes.

Mei's words broke down the doll's defenses.

But Mei hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Your [domination] is nothing more than plunder and extortion."

"But it seems that if we encounter a power stronger than you, we will not only be injured, but even our power to control ourselves will be affected."

"Are you ready? That was just a test. Which is stronger, your 'Domination' or my 'Conquest'...?"

"Next, it's time to get serious!"

The once gentle housewife has now become a domineering and awe-inspiring Raiden Queen, giving the audience a different feeling. After all, people's hearts are strange, and we like these contrasts.

They didn't even dare to turn on the comments, otherwise the screen would be filled with "Raiden Queen, I want to be your dog!" and "I am the Raiden Queen's dog!", and they probably wouldn't be able to see a single scene of the plot.

"So handsome!"

Elysia's eyes lit up.

Mei's pose is not only captivating to men, but also to women.

Especially her radar started going off like crazy.

Kevin watched the domineering Raiden Queen on the big screen, then glanced at May, who was sitting next to him.

Mei and Mei look very similar; that's an indisputable fact.

So when he sees the domineering Raiden Queen, he imagines the rational Mel with that kind of expression.

"Hey-hey..."

Seeing Kevin grinning at her, Mei inexplicably felt a sense of unease and gave a "gentle" smile.

Kevin shuddered.

"What were you thinking about?"

Su asked in a low voice.

"If Mei were to treat me like this..."

Kevin answered instinctively, but realized his mistake halfway through his sentence and quickly shut up.

But Su opened her eyes in surprise, her gaze revealing a hint of disgust.

"Su, let me explain!"

"Hehe, Kevin, you should get married sooner rather than later, don't drive yourself to become a psychopath."

Su earnestly advised.

Kevin was stunned.

Just as Mei was about to get serious, the doll used its Herrscher Authority to create a phantom of Kiana, attempting to use her emotions to lower Mei's guard, or perhaps to use her beauty to seduce Mei.

"Mei, there's no need to fight anymore. I'll take you back, back to St. Freya. Everyone is waiting for you. Let's go back to the past together. This time, we'll never be apart again."

The doll's behavior was tantamount to dancing in Mei's minefield.

Mei opened her eyes, her purple pupils crackling with lightning, cold and filled with killing intent. She slowly drew her giant katana, revealing a terrifying blade light.

"I don't need to go back to the past, and neither does she!"

Just this one strike.

With a piercing scream, all the puppets in the theater collapsed, and even the objects they created were obliterated by the flashing blades.

Although she successfully defeated the Herrscher of Domination, Mei's own power was greatly depleted, and she would soon be forced to leave the Theater of Domination.

Even in his weakened state, the puppet didn't forget to utter some harsh words.

"Just you wait... we'll kill all your companions..."

To the doll's surprise, Mei actually laughed out loud when she heard their harsh words.

"You wouldn't understand. I've said it before... Kiana and the others will never lose to you, no matter what!"

Mei never reunited with Kiana in the end.

Lilia was somewhat disappointed. She had been looking forward to the storyline of Mei's reunion with Kiki, and now that Mei was about to leave the Theater of Domination, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Kiana and Mei probably won't reunite so soon. If they do meet, given their current mindset, they'll likely understand each other's actions. Mei might even leave World Serpent."

Vill-V nodded.

"But there's definitely a long storyline about World Serpent that needs to be told from Mei's perspective. She won't leave so easily. A reunion is inevitable. I can only say please look forward to it."

Hearing Vill-V's explanation, Elysia understood, but she was still disappointed.

"I know, but I just want Kiana and Mei to meet."

Elysia is a staunch Kisame supporter so far.

While they were talking, the big screen automatically switched to the next episode.

Upon seeing the episode title, their hearts skipped a beat.

The final curtain falls.

Although they knew clearly that Kiana and Himeko were destined to part ways, when the moment actually presented itself to them, they wanted to back down and let the warmth last a little longer, even if it was just for a short while.

However, what needs to be faced must still be faced.

The thunderous roar reached Himeko and Kiana's ears, and they realized that everyone outside was still fighting against the Herrscher. As a result, the time frozen in this space finally began to waver.

Another loud clap of thunder sounded, making it feel as if space itself had been torn open.

The power of the Herrscher of Domination has weakened, which means it's time for the two to part ways.

They looked at each other in silence.

"Are you ready, Kiana?"

Himeko took a deep breath and gazed tenderly at Kiana.

"...I understand, Himeko- sensei."

Kiana closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

"Come on, let's walk a little further."

As soon as Himeko finished speaking, the surrounding scenery changed. It was a large bridge, and a church stood in the middle of the bridge.

Himeko and Kiana walked side by side, speaking their final words.

"St. Freya's yesterday seems as vivid as ever."

"I remember when you first enrolled, you were saying you wanted to become the strongest Valkyrie. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much."

"To be honest, I really want to watch you all grow up. I really want to go back to St. Freya, continue to teach you, train with you... write on the blackboard again, go back to my room for a drink. The time I spent in St. Freya is my most precious memory."

"Unfortunately... it's no longer possible."

"The road ahead is still long, but it seems... I can no longer walk with you."

The road to this bridge seemed to take a long time, yet it also seemed very short, so short that the brown gate was right in front of us.

When the audience heard Himeko's regretful and reluctant voice, they couldn't help but burst into tears. This knife not only stabbed her in the heart, but even pierced her soul.

Pardo cried like a little kitten, the tissues next to Elysia piled up like a small mountain, and even Kalpas tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, only his eyes were not visible because of his sunglasses.

"But it's okay, Kiana, you never let me down. Always remember, there are always many people around you who will support you and protect you, including me."

Himeko walked slower and slower, seemingly wanting to spend more time with Kiana.

Kiana simply stood there quietly. She had a lot to say to Himeko, but she also knew that Himeko had a lot to say to her as well.

A blinding white light flashed, and the surrounding scenery was once again revealed to be pure white, with a brown gate standing like an anomaly on the pure white earth.

"My journey has come to an end. From here on, Kiana, your path begins."

Himeko's voice trembled slightly, a mixture of reluctance before parting and the necessity of letting go, as she gazed tenderly at Kiana.

The time for parting has come.

Even though they had anticipated this scene, it was still heartbreaking to see it in person. They couldn't bear to see Himeko disappear here; she wanted to watch Kiana grow up, and she wanted to see humanity defeat the Honkai.

"Waaaaaah... Himeko..."

Two small mountains of tissues piled up next to Elysia.

Memories are a double-edged sword, so when Himeko talks about her memories, it's definitely more than just one plus one equals two.

For Elysia, it was too unfair. When she heard that Himeko wanted to go back to St. Freya and watch Kiana and the others grow up, she burst into tears.

Like tears flowing uncontrollably.

There's an old saying that women are made of water, so Elysia must be made of the sea.

"Himeko!!!"

Pardo's crying sounded like a funeral dirge.

Sakura's emotional state was shattered by Pardo's loud cry.

Blanca brought back too few tissues, so Sakura got up and brought back many more packs of facial tissues from outside.

"Kalpas, do you want it?"

Sakura distributed the tissues to everyone, but specially saved a pack for Kalpas.

If it were Yaqing or Kevin, Kalpas would only snort coldly to indicate that the other party was provoking him, but when facing Ying, he would only snort coldly.
