Changkong City Honkai Energy Riot, Mei Sacrifices Herself to Save Her Close Friend

"The Gem of Conquest within her is constantly eroding her Life Force. Every time she uses the power of Herrscher, she is hastening her death."

"Given her current condition, she won't last more than two months."

Two months.

These three words, like three sharpest ice spikes, pierced Lightning Mei's heart, and also pierced the hearts of everyone who cared about Kiana.

"No... it can't be..."

Lightning Mei's defenses completely crumbled. She slumped back into her chair, tears streaming down her face.

She knew the man wasn't lying.

She could feel Kiana's life force in her arms growing weaker day by day.

That feeling of utter helplessness and despair caused her unbearable pain.

Within the God Realm Central, utter silence reigned.

Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, clearly sensed an emotion called "despair" sweeping in from the Light Screen.

"Using the lives of loved ones as a threat... This person has some ruthless methods." Zhou Weiqing's face darkened.

He had experienced countless gambles in his life, but he had never seen such a brutal bet.

Kevin watched Lightning Mei collapse silently, as if admiring a work of art.

He didn't speak again until her crying subsided.

"But there is a way to save her."

These words were like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds, instantly illuminating Lightning Mei's gloomy world.

She suddenly raised her head, her tear-streaked face filled with urgency and longing.

"Whatever the method? I'll do anything to save Kiana!"

Seeing her like this, Tang San frowned even more.

He already sensed how brutal the deal would be.

Kevin's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

"It's very simple."

"This city, Changkong City, is still permeated with massive amounts of Honkai Energy due to the Third Honkai."

"I can help you absorb the Honkai Energy of the entire city and condense a brand new Lightning Law User Core within your body, one that belongs only to you."

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Absorb the energy of a city? Forge a new Herrscher core?

What an incredibly bizarre and incomprehensible feat!

"Are you crazy? That's Honkai Energy! Enough energy to destroy civilization!" Emperor Dai Hao roared in disbelief.

Xue Ye also had a solemn expression; this kind of gameplay had already exceeded the scope of mortal warfare.

"To forge a new core... this means she will possess complete Herrscher Authority, independent of the Gem of Conquest." The Dragon God's majestic voice rang out, tinged with inquiry, "What exactly does this Kevin want to do?"

Lightning Mei had clearly thought of this as well, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

Becoming Herrscher...

That nightmare of being Domination power and nearly harming her best friend is a pain that will forever remain in her heart.

She finally escaped the shadow of the Herrscher, is she about to...?

Kevin seemed to read her mind and continued throwing out bait.

"Once you have the new core, you can attract the Gem of Conquest from Kiana's body to yourself."

"In this way, Kiana can escape the crisis of her life being eroded, and she can survive."

Live on.

These three words struck the softest, yet most resolute, point in Lightning Mei's heart.

Her eyes began to change.

Hesitation, struggle, pain... all sorts of emotions intertwined in her eyes, and in the end, they all turned into a resolute look.

What are your conditions?

She knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

This man must have had his ulterior motives for paying such a huge price.

"As expected..." the Sea Dragon God sighed.

"The real test is only just beginning," Tian Hen murmured.

A hint of approval finally appeared in Kevin's eyes.

My conditions are...

He paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"To become the Lightning Law User again, and then join my organization— World Serpent."

World Serpent!

Another unfamiliar term has appeared.

"His goal is the power of the Lightning Law User!" Longbow Might understood instantly.

"It's not just power; he wants a living, breathing 'god' who can be used by him!" Lei Xiang's tone was full of apprehension.

Kevin continued speaking, each word striking the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer blow.

"Serve me, serve me... to seize the cores and Authority of other Herrscher."

The true intentions are revealed!

At that moment, everyone understood Kevin's true purpose.

He not only wants to turn Lightning Mei back into the terrifying Lightning Law User, but also to make her his weapon to hunt down other Herrscher!

"This... this is too cruel!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but cry out.

"Should we send her to fight beings just like herself?" He Caitou clenched his fists. "What's the difference between that and making her kill her own kind with her own hands!"

"This is the devil's deal," said A'Dai, no, it should be Mandun, the former God of Death, in an all-knowing tone, "Using hope as bait to drag people into an even deeper Abyss."

On the Light Screen, Raiden Mei fell into a long silence.

Countless images flashed through her mind.

The moment I met Kiana.

The promise made on the rooftop.

Kiana's selfless act of protecting her.

Kiana lay in her arms, her breath growing weaker day by day.

I promise you.

Finally, she raised her head, her purple eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

Without the slightest hesitation.

For Kiana, she was willing to bear all the Sin.

For Kiana's sake, she was willing to transform once again into the fearsome Lightning Law User.

For Kiana, she was willing to fight against the world.

"I promise you... Kevin."

When she uttered those words, the entire Douluo God Realm seemed to be muted.

Ji Dong's body trembled, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He seemed to see himself back then, willing to fall into darkness in order to revive Lie Yan.

Lie Yan grasped his hand and whispered, "She made the same choice as you."

Tang Wulin's breathing quickened. He looked at Gu Yuena beside him, a torrent of emotions churning within him. If it were for Na'er's sake, would he make the same choice?

The answer is yes.

"Good... very good awareness."

Kevin nodded slowly, raised his hand, and a profound energy began to gather in his palm.

"Then, the deal is done."

"From this moment on, feel it..."

"The entire Changkong City will become your force to save her!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a sudden change occurred!

Boom--!

Outside the window, the purple Honkai Energy the sky suddenly surged violently, as if summoned by an supreme Monarch, transforming into billions of purple torrents that rushed madly toward the classroom where Lightning Mei was!

The glass window was instantly shattered by the energy.
