To Save a Dying Kiana! Mei Agrees to a Devil's Bargain, Joins World Serpent!

Just as Kevin's sword was about to strike again.

The image on the Light Screen suddenly froze.

The camera focuses on Kiana's face, streaked with tears and etched with despair and pain.

In her pupils, Kevin's cold figure was reflected, as well as the Sword of Judgment that was about to take everything from her.

The Light Screen lit up again, dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts caused by the previous scene.

However, as the new headline emerged, the sense of heaviness only increased.

[A Roundup of Desperate Choices -- NO.3 Lightning Mei]

The scene unfolds.

It was a city utterly destroyed, its ruins weeping silently in the continuous drizzle.

A purple-haired girl knelt amidst the ruins, tightly embracing a white-haired girl.

The white-haired girl's eyes were tightly closed, her breath faint, like a candle flame that might be extinguished at any moment.

The purple-haired girl, Lightning Mei, had a face filled with helplessness and despair.

She called out the name of the person in her arms again and again, her voice hoarse and filled with heart-wrenching pain.

"Kiana..."

"Wake up..."

However, no matter how she called out, Kiana in her arms did not respond.

Rainwater mingled with tears, sliding down her pale cheeks.

It was a sorrow that Mingdu.

Douluo God Realm.

Tang San's fists clenched involuntarily.

He was all too familiar with this feeling of powerlessness.

Back then, he gave everything to revive Xiao Wu. But what despair would it be to not even have the chance to give?

Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to him, also had slightly reddened eyes.

Wang Dong'er... He also went through excruciating pain to save Wang Dong'er.

The girl in the picture reminded her of herself, who had also been willing to do anything for love.

"She... she's about to collapse," Gu Yuena said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

As the Silver Dragon King, she could clearly sense the girl's near-collapse in the scene—a sorrow powerful enough to burn one's very soul to ashes.

Tang Wulin remained silent, but his eyes became incredibly heavy.

He had defied the entire world for Na'er. He could understand the madness of being willing to give everything when one's only treasure is about to be lost.

Shrek Academy.

Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, and the others looked at each other, their faces grave.

"For my companions..." Tang Ya murmured to herself, recalling how she had lost herself in the pursuit of revenge, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes. "Isn't there any other way?"

Just then, a figure appeared on the screen.

A tall, white-haired man appeared silently behind Mei, like a ghost.

He exuded an extreme coldness, like an eternal, unyielding ice, and even the surrounding rain seemed to freeze when it approached him.

Kevin Kaslana.

His appearance seemed to lower the temperature of the entire scene to freezing point.

Do you want to save her?

Kevin's voice rang out, flat and emotionless, yet like a sharp blade, precisely piercing Mei's most vulnerable spot.

Mei suddenly looked up, a faint glimmer of hope finally igniting in her despairing eyes.

"Can you save her?"

"I can." Kevin's answer was simple and direct.

He pointed to the most twisted and darkest area in the city center.

There, a massive and terrifying energy singularity was slowly rotating, emitting a chilling purple light.

[Changkong City Honkai Energy Singularity]

A line of cold text appeared on the Light Screen.

"What is that thing?" Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but ask. He sensed a pure aura of destruction from that energy singularity, completely different from his evil god power.

"Honkai Energy Singularity..." Rong Nianbing frowned. As the God of Emotion, he could sense endless Negative Emotions from that energy—despair, hatred, destruction, and end.

"This power doesn't belong to any of our knowledge." Ji Dong's expression also turned serious. Lie Yan, who was beside him, gently grasped his hand, her eyes also filled with shock.

The essence of this power even surpasses Divine Power; it is more like a universal Laws, an ultimate power specifically used for "correction" and "destruction."

"Such terrifying energy..." Ning Rongrong murmured. The light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda automatically protected her, but it still couldn't completely block the heart palpitation transmitted through the screen.

Ning Tian and Xue Ye, who were standing beside her, turned pale.

Ordinary people simply cannot look directly at beings of this level.

Kevin's voice continued to play in the video.

"That's the energy core left behind after the Third Honkai Impact, a pure energy singularity."

"Once you absorb it, you will be able to re-condense the core of the Lightning Law User and gain the power to rewrite reality."

"By then, saving her will be a piece of cake for you."

Kevin's words were seductive, like the devil's whisper, offering the only salvation to the desperate.

Mei's body was trembling.

Lightning Law User...

That identity that once brought her endless pain and disaster.

That nightmare she fought so hard to escape.

Now, however, it has become her only hope.

"And the price?" she asked hoarsely.

She doesn't believe there's such a thing as a free lunch.

Kevin's lips finally curved into a barely perceptible smile, a smile colder than ice and snow.

"Join us, World Serpent."

"Serve us as the Lightning Law User."

"The World Serpent?" Tang San keenly caught the name.

This organization doesn't sound like a benevolent organization.

"To exchange a destructive power for a saving power... this deal is too dangerous." Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye flickered. He tried to analyze the man named Kevin, but found that the other party was like a bottomless abyss, impossible to see through.

"But she had no choice." Longbow Wei sighed.

Yes, there was no other choice.

When a person is driven to the brink of despair, even if there is an Abyss in front of them, as long as there is something they want to protect on the other side of the Abyss, they will jump down without hesitation.

Lei Xiang, A'Dai, Hai Long, Tian Hen... these once powerful figures who stood at the pinnacle of the world all fell silent at this moment.

They all fought to protect what they had, and they all faced difficult choices.

They knew that the girl in the picture had made her decision.

really.

Lightning Mei gently lowered Kiana, her movements as tender as if she were handling a rare treasure.

She stood up, the sadness and weakness in her eyes fading, replaced by a resolute, all-or-nothing madness.

I promise you.

Three words, spoken with resounding force.

She turned around and walked step by step toward the energy singularity that exuded an aura of destruction.

Every step felt like stepping on the hearts of all the viewers.
