Raiden Mei Beneath the Shadow of Nihility-Raiden Wangchuan Shou Mei

It looked almost identical to the communicator... or cell phone, that the Blademaster carried, but its bright color proved that it was not the cell phone that had been given to her by a travel companion during her journey.

His eyes dimmed slightly as the warm, fiery red faded, but the Blademaster still perked up and examined the more colorful phone in his hand.

Although past Remembrance have become blurred, the things I learned from my travel companions along the way, and these recent Remembrance, are still relatively clear.

With his fingers tapping incessantly on the vibrant screen, the Blademaster finally found the key—

"Do you want to select Soul Binding and activate all functions?"

If you choose to decline, you will only be able to use the basic functions.

It seemed like the same choice as the one complained about by the person who had taught her how to use a phone before, but the vibrant color in her eyes made her choose without hesitation—

"!"

Having barely convinced Anti-Entropy that he had truly resurrected Kallen, Gwen, who had just caught his breath, paused slightly in surprise—

Has someone else opened the Invitation Letter?

And it could only be one of the ten Invitation Letter he sent out in his early years?

What's going on? My 10-pull had a pretty high success rate, it's just a bit inefficient...

With a mental grumble, Gwen opened the Chat System, intending to send a self-introduction to his "new Netizen," only to be surprised to find that this new Netizen already had a profile picture.

In other words, the other party directly chose to Soul Binding.

Wow... honest people like this are rare these days...

Muttering to himself, Gwen still sent out more and more self-introductions, glancing at the other party's profile picture a few more times.

Although he is not a well-read person, what if he is an acquaintance?

Then, the more Gwen looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, and finally managed to compare it to the image of Raiden Mei in his mind for a moment...

"Have I found another Mei?"

Mei from Honkai Impact 2?

Or is Mei from some World Bubble or event line?

Or perhaps similar people on some planet in the Honkai: Star Rail universe with somewhat similar flowers?

With these guesses in mind, Gwen sent another message—

"Mei?"

After sending it, Gwen glanced at the Stigmata Space again—

Well, Mei and the others, including Elysia and the other Herrscher, haven't woken up from their previous "epiphany" yet, so it's not that Mei is just being dramatic and changing her hairstyle to joke around with herself.

Seeing that Gwen had remained silent for a long time, Siegfried opposite him grew somewhat anxious—

"What's wrong? Is Black Abyss White Flower having some kind of trouble?"

That's right. Although there aren't as many users of the Black Abyss White Flower as there are of the Heavenly Fire Judgment, there are still several. Among those recorded are Eleanor, the ancestor of the Schariac family, and Leanna from several decades ago..."

As he spoke, the impatient Siegfried began pacing back and forth, muttering anxiously to himself—

"If the Black Abyss White Flower doesn't work..."

There are still some things at home that Cecilia has her eye on, maybe we can give that a try...

If that doesn't work... if that still doesn't work, I'll swallow my pride and go to the Schariac family. Even if Angelia and Maria create eighteen holes in my house, I'll still get back everything Cecilia left behind from her early years.

"No need, no need at all—"

Upon hearing Siegfried's words, Gwen waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that Siegfried didn't need to be so anxious.

Upon hearing this, Siegfried stopped spinning around, his reddened eyes fixed on Gwen, his face filled with a complex expression of excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and worry.

"There's still some time before Kiana's birthday. You can go home and get ready to celebrate Kiana's birthday."

Meeting Siegfried's gaze, Gwen did not give the answer he most wanted to hear, but instead brought up Kiana's birthday.

Siegfried, however, was not disappointed. Instead, his eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward, staring intently into Gwen's eyes—

"You mean..."

"I didn't say anything."

Seeing that Siegfried understood his meaning, Gwen simply smiled.

"Surprises—they won't come true if you tell them."

"Heh... Hmph... Hahaha..."

Hearing these words that he had once used to fool Kiana, Siegfried was completely certain of his answer.

At that moment, Siegfried, who had become one of the few remaining Flame-Chaser, swayed and sat down on the ground with a thud. He laughed excitedly, tears streaming down his face as he laughed and cried at the same time, unable to control his emotions.

"..."

Seeing Siegfried like this, Gwen sighed inwardly, shook his head slightly, and waved him to a seat to the side.

If it were the women around me...

This dangerous idea was completely forgotten by Gwen before it even took shape, and he didn't bother to plant the flag at all.

While Gwen was telling Siegfried a certain fact, under the rain curtain on the other side of the universe, a lone Blademaster had finished reading the long self-introduction sent by Gwen. He unconsciously gripped the Great Katana he carried with him, wanting to find more help from his fading Remembrance of the past.

Chapter 706 Raiden Mei Under the Shadow of Nothingness - Raiden Yomotsuhirasaka Mei

"To be able to bring such vivid and bright colors back into my eyes..."

Has this person Gwen, received a blessing from some star god?

No... if the other party had only received the blessing of the Star God, they shouldn't be able to do such a thing..."

The Blademaster, his hair damp from the rain, pondered the true origin of the scene before him—

If it's just the strongest being on a planet... maybe it's very strong, but...

She knew very well that the abnormality in her body was caused by being corrupted by the X of the Void, and by going too deep into the Path of the Void.

The X of the Void does not actively glance at anyone, but the power of the void silently permeates everything it touches, like a black hole swallowing everything it captures.

In her case, it's not something that the strongest being on any planet could solve; even the chosen Emanator of other star gods probably couldn't do such a thing...

As she pondered, her eyes, which were more lively than usual, suddenly paused, staring at the two newly appeared words before her—

"Mei?"

Even without touching the knife she carries or actively seeking out her past Remembrance, those two words, her name, are enough to trigger a reaction in her. How much more so now that she is trying to recall her past Remembrance?

"Who are you?"

Setting aside her thoughts, her original name Raiden Mei, now she is Raiden Yomotsuhirasaka Mei—

She sees herself as the "Guardian of the Underworld," guarding the path to the abyss of "nothingness," watching over those who do not wish to fall into "nothingness" and hoping that one day she can sever "nothingness."

Therefore, a former travel companion gave her the nickname "Izanami," which refers both to what she was doing and to how she was secretly slaying evil in the universe and sending it to the Izanami.

However, Izumo, the place that gave birth to her, had long been destroyed, and her travel companions who knew her name were also long gone.

The person who can call her by her given name directly...

The Remembrance that were just beginning to surface in Izanami's mind at that moment gave him some ideas.

And Gwen's next words perfectly matched her guess—

"As I said before, my name is Gwen, the strongest being on my planet—"

This is not a delusion in your mind, nor is it an illusion cast by an enemy; it is a real conversation between you and me, strangers who are separated by an unknown distance...

Some things might be a bit complicated to explain, and it might be hard to say in just a few words. Could you allow me to go over there and see what the situation is like?

If it's too late, your father may be in danger, and you and your close friends may also face life-threatening situations.

"You just need to select 'agree,' and then you can deport me at any time..."

Gwen knew these words would only make him seem more suspicious, but the image of someone with clearly wet hair in the avatar made Gwen somewhat worried—

As everyone knows, when a cook gets caught in the rain, something rather unpleasant is bound to happen.

After saying that, and assuming the other party had finished reading, Gwen sent the time travel request.

Then, to Gwen's surprise, the scenery before him suddenly changed, with damp moisture filling the surroundings.

Before her stood Mei, her clothes soaked by the rain, her Mei disheveled and stuck together.

"Mei, can you tell me what just happened?"

Unexpectedly, Mei was so Gwen, was already extending his mental energy to explore the surrounding environment while asking questions.

The gloomy, rainy weather and eerie environment immediately conjured up some unpleasant images in Gwen's mind.

For example... the prelude to Underworld Reunion or something.

The next moment, before Izanami could reply, Gwen suddenly felt that his outstretched spiritual power was being corrupted by some kind of force, and that some kind of change was about to occur.

Before Gwen could even react, a lightning-fast blade flashed past, severing Gwen's connection with that part of his mental energy.

"Do not release your power rashly, or it will be contaminated by nothingness."

Izanami sheathed the katana that had been slightly extended and stared intently at Gwen.

How many years has it been?

Since emerging from the clouds and disappearing into the void, Izanami has lost count of how many years it has been since he has seen someone with such vibrant colors.

Even though the world outside of the person in his eyes was still only black and white, Izanami still felt his increasingly numb heart suddenly tremble.

However, even though this was an intense emotion that Izanami hadn't felt in a long time, it still seemed too indifferent compared to ordinary people, to the point that it was almost imperceptible.

"Nothingness?"

Gwen asked in surprise.

But in Gwen's heart, a storm was brewing—

The power that could even corrupt his mental energy, and the "nothingness" that emanated from Mei's mouth— Gwen felt he could overturn his previous thoughts and confirm the situation before him.

"Could what we're seeing before us be... the Izanami?"

"Hmm, Black Sun, the X of the Void..."

According to a widely circulated theory, it should be the Aeon of Nihility.

Izanami tilted his head slightly, looking at the sun on the horizon that had been stained Black Sun, but still unwilling to let the bright color beside him disappear from his sight.

"Is that the Aeon of Nihility?"

Gwen looked at the distant black sun, but then immediately contradicted himself—

"No, that could never be the Aeon of Nihility— "

Too weak.

It is definitely not the strength that Gwen envisioned a Celestial God should have.

"Yes, that's not Him, just a star corrupted by His power."

Izanami nodded slightly, then turned back to face Gwen.

"Even with your strength, you shouldn't be easily affected by this level of void power, but don't release your power so carelessly as before."

"Okay, I've got it."

Gwen nodded, pondering for a moment how to speak with the unusual Mei in front of him.

However, after thinking it over, Gwen abandoned those words and directly drew the Broken Blade from his waist—

"Mei——

Please allow me to address you as such for now—

Do you remember this knife?

!

In fact, Gwen already knew the answer without her having to reply—

Gazing at the hilt of the Broken Blade in Gwen's hand, Izanami's usually calm face now revealed a mixture of reminiscence, shock, and confusion, his eyes trembling slightly.

An unusually pale hand, glistening with rain, gently grasped the Blade of the End and slowly drew it out—

The sharp glint of the blade reflected the dim sky, as if illuminating a world "shining" upon nothingness... and then abruptly ended.
