The Boy: Get to Work, Prometheus

Seeing Mei's resolute and determined back, Kiana thought for a moment and then chose to follow.

Meanwhile, Wendy and the others watched as Mei took the boy away, and their faces couldn't help but show envy.

But thinking of the powerful aura Mei had just displayed, Wendy and the others ultimately didn't dare to approach and protest, and could only watch the boy leave with reluctant eyes.

As they arrived at a relatively secluded spot with Mei, Kiana's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression. She asked, "Mei, do you suspect that Dr. Mei is hiding something?"

If Mei wants to avoid Dr. Mei, then it's clear that Mei has become suspicious of him.

"No, Dr. Mei's words are mostly true."

Mei shook her head.

Knowing the attitude of the Previous Civilization towards the Honkai, Mei believes that the other party truly wants to help them fight against the Stigmata Project.

After all, neither Dr. Mei nor Kevin could possibly wholeheartedly carry out the worst-case scenario of the Stigmata Project.

Hearing this, Kiana was even more confused. "Then why did you still..."

Kiana.

Gently interrupting the white-haired girl's question, Shi Hen looked at the black-haired girl with tender eyes, "Mei, tell me about your time in World Serpent."

"Good..."

Upon hearing this, Mei finally smiled with satisfaction, and her eyes softened.

She deliberately created a space where she could be alone with the boy, not to discuss anything too profound or worrisome like saving the world, but simply...

I simply want to be with the person I like.

Mei glanced at Kiana, who seemed to still be detached from the atmosphere, and with a gentle smile, she began to recount what she had seen and heard in the Elysian Realm.

Of course, looking at the incredibly real boy in front of her, Mei did not reveal Naraku's true identity in the Elysian Realm.

That tragedy, belonging to another time and space, is enough for her to bear alone.

This time, she will definitely create a world where the boy can live happily.

On the other side, while listening to Mei's perspective, Shi Hen also shared the story of the Third Generation Leader, protecting the delicate and sensitive emotions in the girl's heart.

After a long while, when the timelines of the two sides finally synchronized in this World Bubble, Mei's eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at the boy.

"I never imagined Mei had been through so much."

Kiana couldn't help but sigh, a deep sense of emotion appearing on her face.

"You've really worked hard, Mei."

Shihen gently ruffled the girl's long, flowing black hair and sighed softly.

"Speaking of hardship, it's your side that's really tough. You have to deal with Honkai all over the world, watch out for that bastard [Welt White], and then there's Otto..."

Meeting the boy's concerned gaze, Mei gently shook her head and said, a flash of lightning-like ruthlessness in her purplish-red eyes.

Not only did they slander the boy as "Welt White," they even sent assassins to kill him...

If Otto hadn't died so young, and hadn't realized his mistake before his death and handed over the power of the Herrscher of Binding to the boy, she would have even wanted to dig him out of his coffin and grind his bones to dust.

"But often, the impact of something on us depends not only on what it actually is, but also on how we perceive it. Compared to us, you are in a more difficult situation in the World Serpent."

Shi Hen said earnestly, though a hint of helplessness still rose in his heart.

He even tricked Durandal into joining World Serpent, hoping that Mei could get along with her, but in the end, this Herrscher of Thunder spent most of her time fighting against the Honorable Knight.

Or rather, it was Mei was unilaterally outwitting and Penguin.

"Ah, what Hen said makes sense..."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Kiana's gaze couldn't help but wander slightly.

Although Anti-Honkai was indeed very difficult, and Welt White caused them a lot of trouble, she and the boy also made great progress.

Thinking of this, Kiana felt a pang of guilt.

"However, all of that is now over."

He added, opening Shi Hen arms to embrace the black-haired girl, "Welcome back, Mei."

"Yes, I'm back, Hen..."

Mei responded softly, feeling the warmth of the boy's chest, and suddenly felt that all the hardships she had endured in the World Serpent were completely worthwhile.

With his hand gently stroking Mei's back, feeling the girl's soft and warm fragrance, Shi Hen looked at the seemingly bewildered white-haired girl beside him and couldn't help but smile slightly as he hugged it as well.

"..."

Upon noticing the arrival of the white-haired girl, Mei immediately showed obvious signs of struggle.

Even though she had accepted Kiana staying by the boy's side, she still couldn't tolerate the two of them engaging in intimate acts with the boy together.

"Hen, this time let Mei..."

Sensing Mei's resistance, Kiana obediently gave in.

Compared to her, who had always been with the boy, Mei had gone through many hardships to return, so she didn't want to ruin this precious moment for him.

Of course, once the buff from her return wears off, her battle with Mei will have to continue.

As a daughter of the Kaslana family, the phrase "surrender without a fight" was not in her vocabulary.

"I'm sorry, Mei..."

He merely sighed softly in the black-haired girl's ear, and Shi Hen's forceful grip prevented the white-haired girl from leaving easily.

According to the plan, this World Bubble will be the last tender moments he has with Kiana and the others.

Therefore, even a staunch behind-the-scenes player like him understands the importance of cherishing the present.

"Then... just this once. After everything is over, you'll have to make it up to me properly."

As if sensing the boy's emotions, Mei's struggles gradually weakened, and she raised her hand to grasp the white-haired girl's palm.

For a moment, the three of them embraced tightly, their heartbeats seemingly synchronized.

After a long while, Shi Hen finally released the two girls and said with a gentle smile, "Let's go back. Don't keep Bronya and the others waiting."

He was afraid Wendy and the others would cause an uproar if he didn't go back soon.

Shortly after, they returned to the meeting point with Kiana and Mei. Schariac and Dr. Mei's expressions softened, while the Sea of Quanta group's eyes were filled with gentle smiles. Wendy and Anna...

Pretending not to notice the deep resentment on the two Herrscher, Shi Hen looked at Dr. Mei: "We can help you connect the World Bubble back to the end of the Imaginary Tree, but you also have to make sure we can return to the Eigen World."

"Of course, no problem. This way it's fair and just."

Dr. Mei pushed up her glasses and said with a smile.

"Then let's begin, Kiana."

Nodding, Shi Hen grasped the hands of both the white-haired girl and Mei at the same time.

"Um."

Kiana nodded slightly as well, and the authority of the Void Herrscher gradually emanated from her, and she quickly sensed the suppression from the Stigmata Project.

Boom--

In an instant, thunder roared, and the entire World Bubble seemed to be bathed in the blazing light of the thunder, turning a brilliant white.

In this dazzling brilliance, Mei moved without wind, the crimson demon horn on her forehead slowly shrank and disappeared, and a bright purple divine halo behind her gradually merged into the girl's body.

Having already reached the limits of the Herrscher through repeated trials, and having clarified the path she wanted to take through her interactions with the boy, Mei finally touched upon the realm of secondary ascension.

Nothing can withstand its cuts, and nothing can be severed!

As if the clouds and mist had completely dissipated, Mei clearly felt the change in her own authority, and also sensed the aura surrounding the Herrscher...

Bang!

With a faint thud, Shi Hen released his aura as Herrscher of Binding without reservation.

"Um?"

Mei looked at the boy, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Shi Hen simply smiled gently at this, his gaze towards the girl filled with tenderness.

Although he is also Herrscher, his core comes from a system that doesn't even deserve a name, and he doesn't belong to the same system as Kiana and the others.

Therefore, the Stigmata Project has no suppressive effect on him.

Without dwelling on it too much, Mei turned to look at the white-haired girl: "Kiana, do you need any help here?"

She could sense that with just a thought, she could completely sever the shackles binding Kiana.

"No, I can do it myself!"

Kiana shook her head, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Even Mei and the boy could break free from the Stigmata Project's shackles, so how could she easily admit defeat?

Every moment since she met the boy flashed through her mind. Coupled with the stimulation from Mei beside her and the power of her dual authority, Kiana quickly broke free from the constraints of the Stigmata Project. The spatial structure of the entire World Bubble instantly came into the girl's view.

Like Kiana floating in liquid, the World Bubble extended countless cilia outwards into the surrounding Quantum Sea, attempting to find a rift that could lead back to the Imaginary Tree.

For the people in the World Bubble, this is a massive undertaking, almost like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, for Kiana, who has almost etched manipulation into her DNA, this task is not much more difficult than shooting at a target.

"Found it!"

With a startled cry, Kiana immediately controlled the World Bubble to spread rapidly into a certain rift, quickly connecting to an incomparably vast existence.

At the same time, a dark blue Star Gate appeared before the World Bubble community, serving as the passage back to their Eigen World.

Chapter 229 Boy: Let's Get a Job, Prometheus

"Crossing this door will lead to our final battlefield."

He spoke in a deep Shi Hen, a hint of solemnity on his face.

"Now that things have come to this, no one should be backing down, right?"

A faint smile appeared on Mei's lips as her gaze swept over Bronya and the others.

Even though she had been separated from the boy and others for a long time, and had newcomers like Anna and the Herrscher of Knowledge, Mei never doubted their resolve and beliefs.

"Bronya is ready to strike at any time."

As Bronya said this, her face remained largely expressionless, though the First look revealed a hint of determination.

"Tch! It's just Kevin and Welt White, right? Watch me take them all down!"

He clenched his fist and the smile on Schariac's face immediately became healthy.

"Seele will also work hard."

Seele clenched her little fists and placed them on her chest, and said in a voice that was still a little nervous.

"This time, it's a true all-out attack."

Kiana rubbed her hands together, a bright smile spreading across her face.

In the past, either Mei was absent or they were separated by the enemy; they had almost never arrived in such a complete formation.

Although Fu Hua and Durandal are still missing, it can indeed be said that all the Herrscher have gathered.

Not to mention...

Kiana glanced at the calm-faced boy beside her, and her eyes suddenly blazed with a fiery light, as if an inexhaustible force was surging within her.

"Then let's begin, our final battle."

Shihen glanced at Wendy and Anna, whose expressions were equally resolute, and said with a smile. His gaze Shi Hen fell on Dr. Mei smile was faint, and Prometheus, whose expression was blank, before he was the first to pass through the Star Gate.

Following closely behind the boy, Kiana and the others also crossed the dark blue gate and chose to return to their Eigen World.

Before long, the World Bubble, which had stagnated 50,000 years ago and only started to function again due to the launch of the Stigmata Project, returned to silence.

Rinse!

In Setsuna, the Star Gate closed, but a young figure remained there as if it were a phantom.

"The Herrscher of Erosion? And, there's also the aura of the Void Herrscher..."
