The Unceasing Thunder of Nagazora and the Kindling Flame

Having grasped the key point in the girl's words, Einstein couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Um."

Peggy glanced at Einstein and nodded, saying, "Although it's very faint, the consciousness of the previous leader does indeed still exist within the core of the Herrscher of Reason."

Furthermore, after waking up, Hen mentioned that he had heard Mr. Welt's voice.

"I'm sorry, it's been a misunderstanding between us and Cocolia all along."

After hearing Peggy's explanation, Theresa immediately lowered her head in shame.

Before this, she had always thought that Cocolia was trying to set a trap.

But I never expected that the other party had done so much in secret.

If it weren't for Welt White suddenly interfering, this meeting with Cocolia could have ended in the most ideal way.

It can even bridge the long-standing divide between radicals and conservatives.

Thinking of this, Theresa immediately gritted her teeth, her blue eyes filled with anger as if they were about to spit fire.

"But why did Welt White take the mark away?"

As she asked, Wendy's delicate eyebrows were furrowed into a deep frown.

Judging from the information revealed in the recording, Welt White clearly knew that the boy had transplanted the Herrscher of Reason Core, and even expected the boy to fully master these two completely different Herrscher powers.

But for another reason, the other party suddenly abandoned this plan.

"..."

When faced with Wendy's question, Peggy frowned and did not answer easily.

Boom—

A loud bang suddenly rang out, and the entire Haiyuan City seemed to be hit by a huge impact, shaking violently. A unique aura of death quickly spread Haiyuan City.

"The Quantum Sea! That guy's target is the Eye of Haiyuan!"

Sensing this unique aura belonging solely to the Quantum Sea, Einstein suddenly understood everything.

"That damned bastard! I'll kill him and chop him into mincemeat!"

She immediately rushed out of the house and ran alone towards the Eye of Haiyuan.

Having always been with Cocolia and never separated, Anzu's feelings for Cocolia are much deeper than those for Bronya.

Now that Cocolia has been killed right under her nose, how can Anne tolerate this?

Even though the enemy was the invincible [Welt White], at this moment the girl only had one thought in her mind: to kill him.

"Xing! Wait! That guy is not someone you can handle!"

Peggy shouted, but she couldn't slow down Xing even for half a second.

"Let's hurry over there!"

After glancing at Wendy and the others, Theresa did not hesitate to follow Xing's footsteps.

Seeing this, Wendy and the others immediately sprang into action.

Even if the enemy is so powerful that they are almost invincible, they cannot abandon the young man.

Moreover, judging from the information revealed in Welt White's words, this matter is not without hope.

Therefore, only by fighting with all their might can they find that slim chance of victory and save the boy who is so important to everyone!

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Unending Thunder of Changkong City and the Flame to Be Ignite

Changkong City, Tianyun Pass.

Well, although this place used to have another name, it was forcibly renamed Tianyun Pass after the Conquest Gem destroyed it and left behind endless thunderstorms.

Standing on the edge of the canyon, gazing at the persistent thunderstorm high in the distance, Kiana's expression grew solemn.

While a bright, full moon can be seen hanging in the night sky at the Inari Shrine, here, the sky is filled only with endless thunderclouds and dazzling lightning that occasionally flashes, illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime.

However, upon closer inspection, she could detect a discordant note within this devastating thunderstorm.

That's the scent of the sun.

Undoubtedly, the Plague Gem is currently located behind those layers of thunderstorms.

In other words, she will soon be able to see the boy again!

Thinking about this, Kiana couldn't help but feel excited, wishing she could teleport directly to the center of the thunderstorm.

But she couldn't do it.

Not to mention the incredibly violent thunderstorm, a large amount of Honkai Energy also accumulated in this area, giving rise to tens of thousands of Honkai Beasts, which greatly interfered with her perception of spatial coordinates.

At least, with her current strength, she cannot teleport there directly.

But that's okay. If the Herrscher Authority can't handle something, then she'll use her own power to overcome it!

Neither Honkai Beasts nor these thunderstorms and lightning bolts can stop her in the slightest!

But before that...

"Miss Miko, you should know what the consequences of doing this will be, right?!"

Staring intently at the pink-haired Miko beside her, Kiana spoke in a low voice, her expression filled with righteous indignation.

Placing the boy and the Plague Gem in such a high-concentration Honkai Energy environment can only result in another large-scale Honkai, just like the one at Schicksal HQ.

Moreover, it is clear that this Honkai will far surpass the Third Honkai Outbreak a few years ago, and is enough to engulf the entire Far East.

If such a thing were to happen, perhaps one in ten civilians in the entire Far East would be wiped out, and this land would become a complete hell on earth.

"Certainly."

Faced with the girl's angry questioning, Yae Sakura still maintained a calm smile, "But for World Serpent, any price is worth paying as long as the expected goal can be achieved."

Therefore, everything is left to Miss Kiana.

Whether Kiana, the Void Herrscher, or another Flame Herrscher is born from this experiment, it makes no difference to World Serpent.

"You..."

Speechless for a moment, Kiana's anger intensified, and she finally managed to utter only one word, "Despicable!"

"If you don't want what happened three months ago to repeat itself, Miss Kiana, please give it your all."

With her smile unwavering, Yae Sakura gently shook her head. "As a member of World Serpent, I cannot interfere with the decisions of the organization's higher-ups. But if it's about you, Kiana..."

At this point, Yae Sakura paused slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at the White-haired Girl before her.

"Miss Miko, you..."

Sensing something from the Miko's words, Kiana's expression instantly became complicated, but in the end she could only glare fiercely at the Miko.

Turning around, Kiana's armor, belonging to the Void Herrscher, automatically appeared, and her left eye simultaneously transformed into a dazzling gold. Kiana lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew towards the thunderclouds high in the sky with all her might.

This time, she will never let the tragedy of three months ago happen again!

Thinking to herself, Kiana caught a glimpse of several Honkai Beasts charging towards her out of the corner of her eye. She immediately reached out with both hands, grabbed the heads of the Honkai Beasts, and spun them around, throwing them away.

There are too many Honkai Beasts at Tianyun Pass, but her control over the power within her body is limited, so she must use every bit of power carefully.

Only in this way can she bring the boy back safely from the thunderstorm!

On the other side, watching the girl's slender figure resolutely rush into the thunderstorm, Yae Sakura couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

As the person in charge of the boy's plan in Changkong City, she certainly understood what awaited Kiana in that thunderstorm.

But as she had said before, as a member of the World Serpent Organization, all she could do was obey the orders given by the boy.

"Miss Kiana, although there may be thorns and storms ahead, please believe me."

After everything is over, you will definitely be able to reunite with the person you want to see...

As if trying to convince herself, Yae Sakura sighed softly, then her figure rose high and soared into the distance.

Meanwhile, over a hundred miles away in the suburbs of Changkong City, a gray Hover Battleship was sailing at a low speed.

"Dr. Tesla, is there still no news about Kiana?"

Mei glanced at Tesla, who was busy on the main control panel of the bridge, and couldn't help but ask.

It's been quite a while since they arrived in Changkong City, but they haven't found Kiana, let alone a single white-haired girl.

"Hey, stop rushing me!"

I've already connected with Anti-Entropy's military satellites and instructed them to enhance surveillance of the area surrounding Changkong City. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!

Tesla said impatiently.

Having not found Kiana for so long, she was naturally extremely anxious.

With the methods of the World Serpent Organization, every second Kiana spends with that Miko increases the danger to the world.

"Yes, Mei, let's be patient and give Tesla some more time."

Himeko, standing nearby, also softly advised, "Besides, we should also have some faith in Kiana."

She's not a child anymore; she knows how to protect herself.

The Kiana was able to hide for so long despite the full-scale search by the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy is enough to prove that she has indeed grown.

"I know, Teacher Himeko, but..."

As she spoke, Mei paused slightly, then sighed, "This time, the enemy is that [Welt White]!"

No matter how much Kiana grows stronger, how can she compare to the ruthlessness and cunning of Welt White?

Only a few years after its first appearance, the world has been thrown into chaos, and countless people have suffered as a result.

Moreover, in addition to his overwhelming military strength, Welt White's political maneuvering skills are also quite astonishing.

Even when they were not as powerful as they are now, the other party stole the position of leader of Anti-Entropy, and now they have even taken the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal into their possession.

To this day, they still cannot understand why Durandal would choose to abandon everything in Schicksal and instead follow such a demon.

But one thing is certain: this cannot be accomplished by force alone.

Even though she didn't know much about Durandal, she believed that the other party was definitely not someone who simply admired strength.

Faced with such a terrifying enemy in terms of strength and methods, Mei simply couldn't imagine how Kiana would be manipulated by him.

"..."

Upon hearing Mei's words, Himeko was momentarily speechless.

Even though Welt White never appears before the world most of the time, his existence is like an eternal sun, casting a shadow that can cover the entire world.

Being an enemy of such a being is indeed a stressful thing.

But no matter how difficult it is, they must keep moving forward and do their best to overcome the obstacle of [Welt White].

Only in this way can they protect those around them and safeguard this beautiful yet fragile world.

With these thoughts in mind, Himeko gripped the railing tightly with one hand, her Amber eyes revealing determination.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, Tesla shouted, quickly zooming in on a point on the map with his finger, "It's here!"

In just five minutes, the Honkai Energy intensity here increased by a full 30%, and it was still increasing just now!

Compared to other parts of Changkong City, the changes that have taken place here cannot be described as mere whispers or whispers.

This is practically like setting off a flare into the sky!

"Where is this place!?"

Mei's expression hardened slightly as she pressed on with her question.

"Here..."

Tesla paused slightly, glanced at Mei, and then continued, "It's the site of the Third Honkai Outbreak."

"..."

Mei's pupils contracted, but before she could ask any more Mei, she saw out of the corner of her eye a crescent-shaped sword aura, almost wider than the Hover Battleship beneath her feet, slashing rapidly toward her.

Zi—
