Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

However, Qianjie is not a kind-hearted person, and his "help" to Mei comes at a price.

"You've gotten what you wanted, now it's time to pay the price!"

Qianjie clenched his fist fiercely and smashed the arena beneath his feet, causing spiderweb-like cracks to surge outwards!

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"

Qian Jie was finally able to laugh heartily in the arena, in this [deepest place], expressing the resentment and frustration in his heart!

"My anger has been unfulfilled for far too long!"

"Since you want it to reappear, then use all your strength and don't be devoured!"

Qianjie seemed to be pouring all his fighting spirit into this moment. With just a long roar, he suddenly stirred up a chilling air wave. His frenzied battle roar suddenly drove back Mei, who wanted to step forward!

The arena floor beneath his feet, which had shattered with a deafening roar, was once again destroyed by a sudden burst of violence!

"Inward and outward, kill anyone you encounter!"

"Towards death, towards—me!"

The roars emanating from beneath Qian Jie's ferocious mask were like the awakening of a slumbering ancient beast, each sound viciously invading the very core of one's being!

As Qianjie finally mustered his fighting spirit, he instantly attacked Mei!

"Please forgive me, Herrscher! But I will not give up!"

A thousand tribulations' battle cry suddenly erupted in Mei's ears, and a punch that came flying at that moment almost hit Mei's face!

In the shockwave, Mei's figure was sent flying backwards. She looked somewhat disheveled, but at least she managed to block the punch with her sword!

After her body was thrown about uncontrollably, Mei finally seemed to be getting serious as she faced Senju, who was finally starting to show fighting spirit!

"It's best not to speak too soon when facing a Herrscher."

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on her cold face, and the lightning-infused longsword she gripped in her hand suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, revealing the armor wrapped in crimson lightning!

Mei had previously demonstrated her ability to control the power of the Herrscher, proving that she had complete control over it. Now, she is showing this power at its peak to Qianjie!

A giant dragon clad in crimson armor suddenly came into view. It was none other than Benares, the demonic dragon that had appeared in Siberia as Sirin's familiar during the Second Honkai Impact, but now it had become Mei's familiar!

With Mei's power as the Herrscher of Thunder, the puppet of the demonic dragon that had already submitted to Mei appeared in the "deepest part" of this paradise of the past, stirring up a terrifying shockwave!

Seeing Mei finally display the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, the battle-hungry Senju finally perked up a bit, and the glint in his eyes behind the ferocious mask showed a bit more fighting spirit!

For a warrior like Qianjie, whose strength is terrifying... only a Herrscher of this caliber is barely worthy of his attention!

Only those with Herrscher-level strength are qualified to stand before Thousand Calamities!

"Come on! Show me one last desperate struggle!"

Facing the thousand tribulations, Raiden Mei unleashed a triumphant roar, her blade flashing even faster, the raging lightning reflecting off her cold, stern face.

“You’ll regret it”

………………

The students of St. Freya Academy watched silently as the death battle on the light screen, the outcome already decided, their eyes filled with worry as they stared at Mei's figure on the screen.

Knowing the outcome of the battle beforehand, their only worry was when Mei would be beaten to the point of near death; they had no expectation that she would be able to fight back.

Through Senju's words, everyone finally learned Mei's purpose—

Mei had previously agreed to Alicia's condition of touching her horns in order to find the "Deepest Place," which led to the embarrassing scene of her being touched all over her body being exposed to everyone.

Is the ultimate goal to reach the "deepest place," and Mei herself has to seek a thousand calamities to find her own way to death?

Although Mei appears to be on par with Senju in the scene, everyone clearly saw that Mei was beaten to the brink of death after Senju revealed his true, terrifying demonic form.

In order to find this "deepest place", is Mei willing to risk being killed by a thousand kalpas?

Or does Mei have some means of saving her life?

or……

Fu Hua, who still retained some vague understanding of her former comrades, suddenly had a guess:

Could it be that Mei deliberately provoked Qian Jie in order to seek out Qian Jie's anger and to be beaten half to death or even on the verge of death by him?

In search of the deepest depths, in a state of near-death...

With these two conditions intertwined, a vague image seemed to rise in Fu Hua's mind, and a vague name also emerged in her heart—

Aponia, one of the thirteen heroes of the Fire Moth who bears the inscription of the "Commandments".

…………

Just as everyone at St. Freya Academy was speculating about why Mei was determined to die, Mei, riding Kurikara, finally shattered Senjaku's hideous mask.

Under the dragon's crimson lightning, Qian Jie seemed to be retreating steadily, but as a crack appeared on the hideous mask, the hearts of everyone from St. Freya Academy tightened.

It was as if the seal of a demon had been broken; an indescribable suffocation made them almost personally experience that despair—

"Congratulations, Herrscher..."

"You've done everything in your power to prove that you deserve to be killed!"

Amidst the erupting flames, Qianjie, transformed into a laughing demon, unleashed a ferocious light that nearly set the sky ablaze!

………………

………………

Amidst the worried gazes of everyone at St. Freya Academy, Mei and Kurikara joined forces to bombard Senju. It seemed that the combination of the longsword and the dragon's breath had finally stopped Senju from gaining the upper hand for a time, and Mei even took the initiative to gain some advantage.

Judging from the roaring dragon in the picture, "Roaring Kurikara" is definitely not an embarrassing or cringeworthy line; it just sounds a bit strange when taken out of context.

In actual combat, it is a symbol of Mei displaying the terrifying power of the Herrscher of Thunder, the terrifying breath of a dragon!

Although no one knows how Benares, the dragon who was Sirin's familiar during the Second Honkai Impact, ended up as Mei's familiar, there seems to be something strange about it...

However, the focus of the scene now is on Thousand Tribulations, who is being suppressed by Mei and the dragon working together.

Under the uneasy gazes of everyone, the more fiercely Mei attacked and the more she seemed to have the upper hand, the more worried everyone became.

Sure enough, the thing that terrified everyone the most happened—

As the raging crimson lightning surged and Mei's longsword slashed down, the seemingly suppressed Senju finally revealed a weakness.

The grotesque mask that obscured his face cracked slightly; it was clearly a medal symbolizing the injury Mei had inflicted on him, yet at this moment, no one felt any joy.

Because those tiny cracks, like fissures releasing a sealed demon, exuded an aura of despair.

"Congratulations, Herrscher, you've finally proven yourself... worthy of being killed!"

Through a crack in the hideous mask, Qian Jie flashed a terrifyingly fierce light, as if it crossed the light barrier and intimidated the many viewers into trembling with fear!

Like a demon awakening, Qianjie murmured in a low, guttural voice, which, though soft, struck straight into the heart, stirring up the most primal fear.

"Unfortunately, this isn't a battle, it's a chase!"

"Hahaha...hahahahaha!!"

With increasingly unrestrained laughter, the entire scene was instantly engulfed by raging flames. Deep within the heart of the flames, Qian Jie seemed to finally be able to release the anger and frenzy that had been pent up in his heart for too long. His increasingly manic laughter even made the sky tremble and teeter on the brink of collapse!

The demon emerging from the flames seemed to be formed from molten lava, its shattered and ferocious mask transforming into the appearance of a lava demon, gleaming with a malevolent light in the sea of ​​fire!

The mask, with only half of it revealing its fierce eyes and sinister smile amidst the sea of ​​fire, already displayed a terrifying aura that shook even the light barrier and distorted the space with its scorching heat!

"Now, do everything in your power to escape!!"

As the demons, moving like streaks of fire, began to move, the entire arena of the Deepest Abyss was engulfed in a sea of ​​blazing flames. Even those outside the screen were illuminated by the fiery red glow of the screen, their faces ablaze with fire!

Mei, watching from the scene, was secretly alarmed. Faced with the sudden surge of the Thousand Calamities' flames, she found herself on the losing side, desperately dodging each dangerous situation.

"Completely different from before, is this a deliberate collapse on his part?"

"Or...some other power?"

Mei muttered to herself about the destructive power displayed by Thousand Calamities. Its overwhelming strength subconsciously reminded her of the super-mutant warrior power wielded by the heroes of the Flame Chasing Moths, [Man-Made Collapse].

However, despite the overwhelming power that Qianjie was displaying at this moment, it was still not quite what Mei had imagined; it didn't seem to be a true [man-made collapse]...

"This power... is simply unprecedented, he can't maintain it for long..."

Unable to fathom the power of the Thousand Calamities, Mei could only silently suppress her questions and focus all her attention on the raging flames before her.

Amidst the raging flames, the moving demon let out long, mocking howls—

"A mere Lawyer...?"

"What you are facing is a thousand tribulations!"

Although Senju ignited a sea of ​​fire in the scene, his every move seemed to be far from using his full strength, as if he was deliberately letting Raiden Mei launch an attack on him.

The demon, seemingly formed from flowing fire, remained unmoved, like a mountain, no matter how Mei wielded her lightning blade or how the dragon breathed.

Even though Mei in the scene has not lost for a long time, and even seems to be regaining the upper hand, everyone's hearts are sinking lower and lower.

The demon, who hadn't used a single killing move, seemed to be playing a final cat-and-mouse game before the hunt, letting Mei jump around freely in his palm.

Because that demon only needed to clench its fist slightly to kill Mei on the spot.

Even those at St. Freya Academy outside the light barrier, unable to comprehend the power that was currently too strong and too distant for them, could clearly see that the demon inside the light barrier was holding back endlessly.

No one knew why the demon was going so far as to hold back, but it was certain that he was deliberately letting Mei hurt him as much as possible, seemingly in pursuit of that near-death experience.

Perhaps, just as the demon said before, all he sought was the ultimate battle, a death match that would make him feel utterly hopeless.

Unfortunately, Mei was too weak as his opponent, so he could only seek that crisis by letting Mei attack freely.

The more Mei slashed at the demon in the fire, the more everyone at St. Freya Academy felt a chill run down their spines, sensing that the scene was about to unfold—

The scene of Mei, on the verge of death, was breathtaking.

As expected, as Mei waved her lightning bolts repeatedly in the light screen, the demon grinning in the fire seemed to sense enough killing intent and finally burst into a triumphant laugh once again!

"Come again, come again!"

"It's this killing intent, it's...this very moment!"

In that instant, the demon truly revealed its terrifying power. The already blazing flames transformed into a sky full of "red clouds," and the falling sparks were as poignant as the sunset's fall, yet they also brought with them a profound sense of despair.

"Come on, Herrscher! Throw yourselves into the crimson flames and let me see who will be burned to ashes first!"

In the scene, Mei ultimately becomes nothing more than a guinea pig, dodging left and right, completely powerless against the demon that relentlessly unleashes fiery meteors.
