Honkai Double Traverse, Taking Xilian to Honkai Impact 3

How soft, how comfortable, how dense.

That which pressed fiercely against his chest was excessively supple, a sensation so exquisite it was practically bewitching.

The milky, coconut-like scent permeated through the damaged school uniform, reaching straight to Jiang Cheng's chest.

If one were to find an animal or insect to symbolize the girl before him, she should naturally be as aloof as a bird, yet what she displayed at this moment was more akin to the tight constriction of a snake.

Those slender fingers, white and soft as lotus roots, were currently wrapped completely around his waist, and even her thighs, which possessed just the right amount of flesh, were nearly pinning his legs between them.

Even though the girl was so shy at this moment that her snow-white, slender neck was covered in a layer of pale cherry-blossom pink—hidden beneath her deep purple hair, the faint crimson glow was indescribably charming and alluring, and the tingling sensation made her tremble slightly—she had no intention of stopping; swaying her full, curvaceous body with its slender waist and shapely hips, she nearly stood on the tips of her delicate feet, encased in small black leather boots, just to feel it more deeply...

------The embrace.

What kind of excessive figure could provide this level of ultimate hugging experience?

It was the complete opposite of hugging Xilian—like the difference between a tiny steamed bun and a pomelo; they simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

As if possessed by some magic, his gaze was pulled downward, falling toward her slender waist.

It seemed as if it were born to be held in the hands of the opposite sex; he feared that his own hands could easily encircle Raiden Mei's delicate, soft wasp waist and feel its suppleness.

However, this was not important.

Including the torn black stockings and her arrogant figure, Jiang Cheng did not care about any of it at this moment.

What he felt was merely the girl's body temperature, merely the act of this embrace itself.

The sound of heartbeats came through two layers of clothing, thump-thump-thump.

He couldn't tell whose it was. It was probably both of theirs.

[Is there no part for me? Do I not need to appear from beginning to end?]

[What happened to Raiden Mei being the protagonist of a hot-blooded manga?]

[Also, f*ck your mother, Cocolia!]

[Raiden Mei, you don't want to waste time on such a piece of trash, but I do! I want to kill her whole family!]

[...]

[Also, f*ck your mother, Cocolia!!]

It did not last long.

It wasn't that Jiang Cheng didn't want to indulge further in this gentle paradise, but there were still important things to do—

Cocolia.

He really wanted to kill her just like that.

But before that, he pulled himself away from the state of having warm jade in his arms and loosened his hands from the girl.

"...?"

The girl tilted her head in confusion.

"Raiden Mei, you don't need to worry anymore." Jiang Cheng's voice came through clearly, enunciating every word.

"--Activate, Herrscher transformation!"

The moment the words fell, her deep purple pupils suddenly widened.

At first, she didn't seem to realize what Jiang Cheng was saying; perhaps because she had endured for too long, she couldn't even process it the moment she relaxed.

But the next moment, her body acted on its own, as if she were a corrupted magical girl being held back at the brink; her body was more obedient than her thoughts, and the moment the command was given, it naturally vented without needing anyone to direct it.

Her body began to expand, and for the first time, no shocking blood seeped from between her fingers; instead, there was—

Lightning.

Literally, thunder emerged in a completely material and visible way.

Things that should only exist in the high heavens, not conventional electric currents, but genuine thunder was being driven by a mortal's fingers on the ground at this moment.

No.

She was no longer a mortal.

In those pupils that were like the vast, boundless sky, the caged bird that had been suppressed for so long finally spread its wings to fly.

Finally, no need to endure anymore?

------Third Honkai------

------Descends------

[Detected that Raiden Mei has completed the Herrscher transformation.]

[Judgment in progress.]

[Humanity Anchor Level: High]

[Judgment Passed.]

[Distributing rewards--]

[Insufficient energy, reward distribution failed.]

At this moment, the voice in Jiang Cheng's ears was relatively ignored; at the very least, those rewards of unknown quantity were absolutely inferior to the scene unfolding before his eyes—

—The Great Honkai.

In the first instant, all he could feel was endless light and heat, an extreme temperature that seemed to ignite the very world, accompanied by a brightness capable of tearing the retina.

It was not the Herrscher of Flame.

The authority itself did not possess brightness or combustion.

However, the tearing force erupted by the Great Honkai itself, that terrifying destructive power on a level capable of plowing the Earth, was enough to replace the vast majority of light and heat, as if...

A second sun had risen.

37. Your First Kiss Belongs to Me [Raiden Mei]

Cocolia clearly witnessed the world-ending catastrophe—

The shockwave that erupted in an instant was absolutely not inferior to, and perhaps even surpassed, any typhoon or tornado.

The excessive accumulation of thunder, the scorched smell manifested by the burning of the air, also surpassed any naturally occurring fire.

Even a Tsar-level bomb.

The craziest preparations that country had made in the last century, the storms they had stirred up, were not even a fraction of what was before her eyes now.

The fruits of reforestation, trees capable of forming a sea of forest, were uprooted; mountain ranges were leveled in an instant. High-concentration Honkai Energy killed everything on this land—not just the observable, visible life, but even those buried deep underground and those residing high in the sky were slain.

And not until the first round of the Honkai—which could easily tear apart several large cities and impact the entire country—ended.

The massive mushroom cloud that had exploded like thunder and the endless airwaves temporarily subsided.

Only then could one truly see—

A boundary that humans could never reach.

—Endlessly oppressive clouds, as if they were about to cover the entire world completely, the layers of leaden blackness weighing down like a rotting funeral shroud.

It was a reenactment of a scene from mythology, something that should only exist in human fantasy, a daydream that could only be performed if one allowed the bird called imagination to fly freely without restraint.

But if anyone could truly witness this scene, their gaze would never be drawn by this terrifying natural disaster.

Even if this were a mythological product that transcended all reality, it was still inferior to the [Myth] that truly existed before them.

A girl.

A girl residing high above the firmament.

If one were to call her a girl at this moment, it would be far too blasphemous, even though from every perspective, the figure in the sky was indeed a girl.

A soft, beautiful body, fair skin.

It was natural ivory white; light and shadow seemed to favor her, reflecting a cold, icy elegance.

As if she knew not what the human world was.

Slender to perfection, her round and full legs were covered by black stockings shimmering with purple light.

Her long, purple hair, fine and smooth like seaweed, spread out wantonly at this moment. Her slender neck, which shone with a soft, pearlescent luster under the faint light, was nearly blinding.

Her deep purple eyes, covered by long, curled lashes, were like the vastness of the galaxy and the thunder of the high heavens.

A stunning face, noble beyond questioning, and—

—The corners of the girl's mouth, silently curving upward.

"Hahaha—"

"Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

Even if it were just a pig, if it resided high above the firmament, people would worship it as a god, let alone with infinite, immeasurable thunder light entwined around her, as if it were an extension of her limbs.

Her damaged school uniform underwent a transformation in the very first instant; while retaining its original form, no one could call that dazzling short skirt a school uniform.

It would be more appropriate to regard it as the imperial crown of the Empress of the High Heavens, the true form of the God of Thunderous Martial Might.

At the very least, they both wielded—

—Thunder and lightning.

Countless peals of thunder flashed along with this.

She wantonly displayed her own great power, that authority which could be called the enemy of civilization.

Even the mass extinction of biological life, which would normally require the accumulation of millions or billions of years to manifest, was now like a cheap toy in those bony, fair fingertips, like a ball of yarn that could be kneaded at will. With every wave, she staged a world-shaking mass extinction with ease.

It seemed as if even a single strand of hair falling from those beautiful, delicate, and arrogant brows represented the overturning of the entire sky.

There was no more daylight, no more brightness; only the occasional thunder illuminated that cold, snowy skin, yet because of this...

Unspeakably beautiful.

"This is the complete me, the complete Raiden Mei!"

"It truly is the powerful strength that Ru Cheng spoke of; a peerless, tyrannical demonic power worthy of being called a protagonist."

"If I had only displayed a tenth of this, the me from just a moment ago wouldn't have been in such a sorry state. Although... 'I' absolutely, positively have no regrets."

Her gaze shifted, coldly looking down at Cocolia, who had once looked down on her but was now in a wretched state.

And then, Like a majestic existence akin to a god in the high heavens—[Raiden Mei]—lightly flicked her fingertip.

The sky was shattered.

Everything within sight was completely pulverized; nothing could maintain its integrity. Infinite thunder intertwined repeatedly into a corridor, transforming into a grinder for heaven and earth.

The entire world seemed to have its colors drained away in an instant, leaving nothing but purple, black, and red. Even white lightning could not linger for a fraction of a second before being swallowed by its own kind.

With a casual gesture, she unleashed a level of Honkai Energy that transcended thousands of domains. This power, enough to make humanity tremble, was as docile as an extension of her own limbs.

Witnessing such great power.

Even through the screen, it felt as if one could clearly perceive it.

No.

It was possible to clearly feel that terrifying power capable of tearing the sky and rending the earth. This power could not be masked by the distance between them at all.

Excessive Honkai Energy.
