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

Tragically, their biological daughter, Kiana, went missing in an accident and her whereabouts remain unknown...

Suppressing their grief, they could only continue their escape with K423. Although it was a sad time, they managed to live a short period of life as a family of three...

During that time, K423 demonstrated outstanding combat abilities, but they were not allowed to fight Honkai Beasts.

Because it was uncertain what unpredictable reactions might occur after the Herrscher core within her came into contact with the Honkai Beast.

In an accident, K423 was injured in battle while protecting them, and it was only after that that K423 was recognized and truly given the name "Kiana".

Siegfried was ignorant of technological matters and did not understand how such a peculiar life form as K423 came into being.

However, there is no doubt that she has similar genes to Kiana and also possesses Sirin's Herrscher core.

Siegfried couldn't imagine how Otto could have come up with such a crazy idea, but the fact that K423 has grown up healthy to this day shows that Otto's experiment was indeed a success.

Little did they know that Otto created the clone K423 in order to recklessly awaken the already defeated Sirin!

After a long separation, should they call "Cirin" their daughter, or continue to fight as enemies?

They were at a loss and could only wait and see what "Kiana" in the picture, or rather, what Sirin's inner thoughts would lead her to.

…………

While the audience was in an uproar, the real drama unfolding on the screen, with Sirin and Mei controlling Kiana, was just beginning.

Kiana, embracing Mei, was as cool as ever, but this posture was displayed by someone else, and its purpose was completely different from Kiana's past protection of Mei—

I'm so glad you were by my side when I woke up.

"Now merge with me again, my other half..."

Sirin, who obtained the power of the Herrscher of Thunder during the Second Honkai Impact, had already incorporated Mei's power into her own.

At this moment, she seemed to be issuing a queen's decree, ordering Mei to hand over the Conquest Gem within her—

At Sirin's request, the long-dormant gem within Mei's body actually lit up, and a phantom purple figure gradually separated from Mei's body.

As the figure gradually moved towards Sirin, Mei, who was being held in Sirin's arms, was also abandoned by Sirin and was about to fall.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed! It rescued Mei from Sirin's control!

Stimulated by the Herrscher of the Void, the Gem of Conquest within Mei's body also awakens, and the Herrscher's consciousness lurking within Mei's body awakens!

"We're too late. She's already under Honkai control and in grave danger."

The phantom that emerged from Mei's body blocked Sirin's path, unusually showing no intention of fighting for Mei, but instead warily staring at the enemy in front of it.

After all, Sirin had once controlled the power of the Herrscher of Thunder. As a fellow Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder would not so easily surrender to Sirin. Now, if she were to compete with Mei for control of the body, Sirin would easily win.

Therefore, the Herrscher of Thunder, who should have destroyed humanity, is protecting Raiden Mei at this moment.

Mei firmly and unequivocally denied the Herrscher of Thunder's advice to leave!

"Precisely because she is in danger, I absolutely cannot let her go!"

"Just like Kiana did to me, I will never let go!"

Mei's resolute words revealed an iron will. The Herrscher of Thunder understood that there was no choice but to lend her her power, and so…

"Hmph... Fine, since the enemy is a Herrscher, we'll use the power of a Herrscher to defeat them."

The phantom of the Herrscher of Thunder snorted coldly, temporarily entrusting the power to conquer the gem to Raiden Mei.

Don't let me down.

As the power of the Herrscher temporarily fell into Mei's control, the lightning wrapped around the Crimson Armor trembled, and Mei gripped the katana behind her tightly!

"Kiana, I will definitely rescue you, just as you rescued me from despair."

"Lightning, Explosion!"

…………

Mei's miraculous conversation with the Herrscher of Thunder brought smiles to the faces of the viewers in front of the screen.

Kiana and Mei, these two best friends, were forced to fight due to the Honkai, which saddened everyone. However, everyone also realized that it was the Herrscher controlling Kiana who was at work.

Now that Mei has also obtained the power of the Herrscher, could it be that they suppressed the Honkai consciousness in this battle by virtue of their deep friendship, and thus gained the power of the Herrscher?

Although Mei in the image is still wearing a crimson Valkyrie armor, and hasn't yet shown the appearance of her future self in crimson armor, everyone is filled with anticipation.

Especially when Alicia in the Golden Garden saw humans able to communicate with Herrschers, or even temporarily cooperate with them, she felt particularly happy.

Alicia blinked expectantly, hoping that Kiana could regain her humanity with Mei's help.

I would say this is something that was bound to happen, right?

After all, Kiana's future form as a Herrscher has already been shown; the question is how she will regain her humanity...

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Upholders of Heavenly Principles

Kevin looked at the two people in the picture and couldn't help but compare them to himself and Dr. May.

However, it's hard to imagine that he and Dr. Mei would have a dispute or even come to blows.

What Kevin found even more unimaginable was the scene where Dr. May became a Herrscher, and he was forced to take action.

Kevin felt sad and angry just imagining it, let alone Kiana and Mei who were now facing this predicament.

Alicia suddenly blinked.

Speaking of which, Kiana and Mei are both Herrschers, so this is an unprecedented battle between Herrschers.

Aside from Alicia, a special Herrscher who was constantly fighting against other Herrschers, no Herrschers in their civilization had ever been seen fighting amongst themselves.

Dealing with the Herrschers and the devastating disasters they brought was already overwhelming enough; how could they possibly have the time to care about these things or even scheme against the two Herrschers?

Alicia especially blessed Mei, who was the first to tell her that her long-cherished wish had come true and who continued to bring her surprises.

"Mei, you're such a wonderful girl who always brings me surprises."

"Shall we go all out and rescue Kiana in one fell swoop?"

…………

Little Gretchen has also prepared her paintbrush and canvas, ready to capture this deeply moving battle of friendship on her canvas.

However, Kosmo couldn't give a thumbs up because he sensed something was wrong.

………………

The same applies to Aponia.

The threads of fate she saw were not so simple.

If Mei and Kiana could simply have a big fight, regain their senses, and successfully master the power of the Herrscher, that would be wonderful.

It's just a pity...

Aponia didn't voice her regrets, silently watching the ongoing scene on the screen with everyone else.

Besides Aponia, Senju, Vilvie, and Mebius also didn't think highly of Mei.

Kevin's eyes revealed his worry.

Because they are all top-tier powerhouses or geniuses, they can all see that although Mei in the picture has obtained the power of a Herrscher, the gap between her and the Herrscher of the Void is far too great.

Perhaps because Kiana experienced some kind of stimulation in the Schicksal headquarters laboratory before awakening as a Herrscher, her Honkai energy is far stronger than Mei's.

Moreover, Kiana now embodies more than just the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

The heroes who had fought countless battles against the Herrschers could see that besides the core of the Herrscher of the Void, the girl also possessed the power of another gem—

The Tranquility Gem, the power of the Herrscher of Death, is also now under Kiana's control.

The ending is already obvious.

…………

Just as the heroes had feared, the scene on the screen changed in the next moment.

Mei, who had just been shouting to save Kiana, unleashed a powerful lightning strike, only to fall into Sirin's hands in the blink of an eye.

Her snow-white neck was mercilessly gripped by Xilin, and her entire body was lifted limply into the air.

The lightning surrounding Mei had vanished without a trace under Sirin's suppression, clearly indicating that Mei had been utterly defeated in the clash of Honkai energy and the sheer power of a Herrscher.

Even so, Mei's hand still trembled but resolutely reached out to Sirin and to Kiana before her—

The blazing sun was blinding, and Mei, her throat choked, had blurred vision, yet she still looked resolutely at her friend who was so close to her.

However, what Mei saw was not the pair of beautiful, clear blue eyes she once knew.

The orange-yellow light in Kiana's eyes revealed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, and flashed the eyes of someone Mei didn't recognize at all.

Indifference, ruthlessness, and alienation—as if looking down upon an insect, treating her life as nothing—and the hand gripping her throat grew ever more cruel.

"Kiana... wake up..."

Mei managed to squeeze out a few weak words from her throat, and the next moment everything went black.

"Am I still... incapable of doing anything...?"

In the final lesson before the scene ended, Mei murmured helplessly, unwillingly, and frustratedly.

…………

"I...I hurt Mei..."

Kiana stared in disbelief at her palms—the very hands that had once pulled Mei back to safety, now the hands that had hurt her…

The pain of witnessing firsthand the harm he caused Mei was far greater than the pain of seeing Mei make friends with other people.

Recalling the scene of personally harming Mei in the light screen just now, Kiana's mind flashed with memories from several years ago—

That vague, seemingly hidden memory made her vaguely see herself years ago, having also gone on a rampage and hurt her family and friends in the same way...

The deep-seated memory was activated, making Kiana look at her hands in even greater horror, as if they were stained with a glaring scarlet!

"Kiana! It's alright!"

Just as Kiana was about to experience tinnitus, Mei grabbed her as her eyes trembled!
