Both Silver Wolf and Bronya of Beloborg felt a pang of heartache for Mei, a feeling of sympathy for their comrade.

"Mea Yi..."
Alicia felt very sorry for this poor girl. Although she was very happy to see Mei able to control the power of the Herrscher earlier, the price Mei was paying at this moment made her feel complicated.
The heroes, apart from Alicia, also watched with heavy hearts as Mei became a Herrscher.
Everyone in the Moth of Flames knows that the appearance of the Honkai means that someone has been chosen to become a Herrscher.
They were certainly surprised to see Mei wielding Herrscher power, but it was clear that Mei had not escaped this predicament either.
As they watched Mei being controlled by the Herrscher, plunging the entire Changkong City into chaos and despair, and witnessing this scene that was all too familiar to them, who stood on the front lines of the fight against the Honkai, the Heroes clenched their fists.
They are the moths that chase the flame, humanity's last hope; they are the most powerful among them, the last spark to ignite the flame.
Even they could only achieve a pyrrhic victory when faced with the appearance of the Herrscher and each instance of Honkai.
That Mei, however, accomplished what they could not.
What is more painful than being chosen to become a Herrscher is having to face the destruction brought by the Herrscher and bear the immense weight of countless lives after regaining one's sanity.
However, since they were their juniors, and since they had achieved the power to control the Herrscher that even they could not, many heroes wanted to see what would happen next.
Let them see how this young woman of the new civilization will proceed.
"Thunder mouse... don't disappoint me."
Mebius stared at the light screen, while Velvet, equally talented as her, was more interested in how Mei would bear the weight and whether she would break down.
The taciturn Senju, Sakura, Kosmo, and Kevin also clenched their fists and gripped their sword hilts tightly.
Little Gretchen once again depicted Mei's previous Herrscher form on the canvas, and also drew her favorite stars, to express her wishes for Mei.
Eden played encouraging music for Mei, as she, being one of the greatest artists of her time, was especially looking forward to Mei's performance.
………………
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the disaster that Changkong City suffered back then continues to unfold.
Because Mei, as the Third Herrscher, was not under control, countless Honkai Beasts and zombies were being born in an endless stream, and the longer the situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be.
Kiana, as Mei's best friend, felt it was her duty to pick up a baseball bat and embark on a journey to find Mei.
At this time, Kiana had not yet entered St. Freya Academy and did not yet have the concept of a Valkyrie. Although she was agile, she still lacked highly efficient physical skills and had no practical combat experience.
Kiana, stepping onto the battlefield for the first time and facing the terrible cataclysm of Honkai, possessed only a simple baseball bat...
There's also a desire to win Mei back.
So, under everyone's shocked gaze, Kiana repeatedly used her simple baseball bat to sweep away the assassins in front of her, and moved closer and closer to Mei!
At this moment when everyone was fleeing Changkong City in a panic, only Kiana's figure, going against the current, stood out the most!
A mere mortal with no power stepped onto this battlefield filled with terrifying Honkai energy!
As the Herrscher's lightning shattered the road beneath her feet, Kiana still stepped onto the scorched ground without looking back!
With this mortal body, I am on par with the gods!
Until a miracle occurred, Mei, the Herrscher, was unable to stop Kiana. After several clashes, she finally managed to get the white-haired girl to stand in front of her!
"Mei! I've come to take you back!"
Despite being covered in wounds from all the hardships, Kiana still flashed her pearly white teeth and grinned.
There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version
Chapter Thirty-One: The Oath
…………
Before Kiana, the Herrscher of Thunder seemed to have lost her arrogance and majesty, the extent to which her lightning had weakened was puzzling.
Soon, everyone understood why—
In this situation, the only one who can solve the problem is Kiana, who was once Mei's friend.
Because in Mei's subconscious, Kiana is the person she can trust the most, even after being controlled by the Herrscher, the attacks against Kiana will be reduced a lot!
However, even though Mei's subconscious was trying to stop the Herrscher of Thunder, the effect was still too slight since Mei had not regained control of her body.
After being provoked by Kiana multiple times, the Herrscher of Thunder finally suppressed Mei's attempts to stop her.
…………
When Kiana finally stood before Mei, they had already clashed several times before. Every time the Herrscher of Thunder was about to kill, Mei's subconscious would frantically try to stop her, causing the Herrscher of Thunder to fail.
However, when Kiana approached Mei and declared, "Take her back," Mei's subconscious could no longer restrain the Herrscher of Thunder.
In an instant, the lightning that had previously always missed or weakened against Kiana suddenly erupted!
The deafening lightning was about to kill Kiana in the blink of an eye!
In that instant, a woman clad in crimson mecha armor, as dazzling as fire, stormed onto the battlefield!
"Young lady, it's not good to be so rude to your friend."
With a seemingly casual voice, the Valkyrie from destiny—Himeko Murata—charged into the battlefield!
…………
Looking at herself in the picture, Himeko was actually unwilling to bring up that past.
It was she, clad in Schicksal's mecha, who fought her last battle before retirement, subduing Mei, who had by then become the Herrscher of Thunder.
Because the Herrscher of Thunder had just awakened, even though she was an A-rank Valkyrie who was about to retire, she was able to subdue Mei.
Of course, the presence of Kiana, someone Mei cares about, also contributed to Mei's subconscious constantly clashing with her Herrscher consciousness.
However, more than the impressive achievement of "subduing the Herrscher", Himeko was more concerned about the emotional damage left on Mei.
Himeko knew that Mei's experience of becoming a Herrscher was a lingering nightmare in her heart.
Looking at the image on the screen, Himeko glanced at Mei.
As expected, Mei's expression betrayed an undisguised gloom and self-blame.
…………
The content on the light screen continued.
Against Himeko, an experienced Valkyrie, the newly awakened Herrscher of Thunder's power was insufficient for victory.
Especially with Kiana, Mei's good friend, there to talk her out of nothing, the Herrscher of Thunder's power was clearly suppressed quite severely.
With their combined efforts, Mei, who had been out of control for only a short time, was successfully subdued.
Mei, being a Herrscher, was suppressed, and the collapse that enveloped Changkong City lost its source and quickly dissipated.
Although Honkai Beasts and zombies are still everywhere in Changkong City, since the Herrscher is no longer the source, the remaining task is simply to eliminate these remaining threats.
Once the threats are eliminated, the reconstruction plan for Changkong City can be put on the agenda, and the city's future can be revitalized.
However, for the people involved, the matter was not so simple.
Mei, who had been subdued by Kiana and Himeko, took some time to wake up from her unconsciousness, but what awaited her upon waking was not the dawn—
It was that devastated city, shrouded in smoke after the disaster.
"What...what have I done..."
Mei stared in disbelief at the ruins before her, the horrifying scenes stinging her eyes.
She turned people into terrifying zombies, and she caused Honkai Beasts to wreak havoc in this city.
She even nearly hurt Kiana, who was standing next to her...
Although Kiana woke her up in time, Mei realized at that moment that she was a monster.
Mei didn't break down when her family suffered sudden and drastic changes in the past, but this time was different.
However, at this moment, Mei felt utterly hopeless.
She bore the unbearable weight of countless lives, and the guilt that overwhelmed Mei at this moment broke down her psychological defenses.
She knew she was a sinner, so she was determined to die.
In order to atone for her crimes, Mei chose to be brave once, but in a completely wrong way—
She attempted to end her sins.
"Mei?!"
While Kiana and Himeko were not paying attention, Mei suddenly leaped off the rooftop!
Not only Kiana and Himeko in the scene, but even those who had experienced it before were terrified when they saw this scene again!
The other spectators held their breath. Was Mei really going to jump off the building?!
……
Disappointment appeared on the faces of many heroes; this was not quite what they had expected.
Mei seems a bit fragile for someone who will control the power of the Herrscher in the future, and who should even bear the hope of fighting against the Honkai.
Although they could understand that this was cruel and unfair to a young girl, since this power was in her hands, the demands had to be made accordingly.
None of the heroes present were not once innocent teenagers; they had all experienced brutal wars and endured countless nightmares.
but……
"Humans aren't born perfect; it's precisely because we grow that we experience感动 (moving moments)."
"Don't be so strict with a young girl; she still has a lot of room to grow."
Please continue reading, everyone.
