A little... unwilling.
Mei felt her mind growing hazy. Whenever she was utterly exhausted, this feeling took advantage of the opening.
She knew what it meant.
The most terrifying existence lay buried within Mei's body: the Third Herrscher Core, the savage power of lightning.
Of course, Himeko had planted a bomb in her chest beforehand. Should Mei turn into a Herrscher, she would leave this world with a bang, and the Herrscher persona knew that full well.

"Bullshit."
This was not the first time Zhao
