"Kiana—"
Kiana's condition truly did not look like she had lost her mind...
Facing Kiana like this, Senpai Mei was lost for two seconds before steeling herself. She fully unleashed the Herrscher of Thunder's power and transformed into Queen Mei.
"Then let me wake you up with my own hands!"
A little over a minute later
Bronya, Seele, Welt Yang, and Aunt Himeko, who had decided to use her self-destruct ultimate, had all been sent out of the game by Deified Nana.
Now, only Senpai Mei remained. Having already been beaten out of her Herrscher form, she was held in Kiana's arms in a domineering embrace.

"No, no, no. This is not your true desire, my child..."
"You know it. Say your wish out loud—"
"I want to create a world where everyone can be happy, a world without Honkai!"
"Correct, my child!"
"Come, accept my power. Then you can personally turn this world into the way you desire!"

After several seconds
