What are you planning to do next?
Luo Chen put the newspaper aside and tilted his head to look at Kevin. He was a little disappointed that there were only two people sitting on the bench; it would have been more interesting if there had been another one.
"Go back to headquarters. Once you've finished your business, go back as soon as possible. The preparations are complete, and it's time to discuss the next steps."
Kevin stood up, looked at the dark sky, and left the rooftop amidst Luo Chen's farewell. He then went to a building located at a suitable distance from Qianyu Academy to observe the situation.
After Kevin left, Luo Chen picked up the newspaper again, glanced at it casually, and then burned it to ashes.
"I originally wanted Bianca to help share the firepower, but Otto suddenly called the three of them back, so it looks like I'll have to fight them all by myself."
Luo Chen looked at the black dot in the sky. As the dot grew larger, he confirmed through his senses that it was Bella. Moreover, only Kiana and Mei had come. The pressure immediately decreased by half.
"One against two, hopefully they'll go easy on me."
Chapter 197 Large-scale domestic violence scene
"Mei, look, isn't that Luo Chen!"
Bella stopped not far from the rooftop. Kiana looked at the familiar figure and eagerly grabbed Mei's arm.
Mei seemed not to hear Kiana's words, silently watching the person who haunted her dreams, before leaping onto the rooftop.
"Mei, it's been a long time."
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, Mei threw herself into his arms, sobbing silently without saying a word.
"Okay, Mei, stop crying. I'm right here."
While Luo Chen was comforting Mei, Kiana also jumped down and stood aside, looking somewhat at a loss, wondering if her timing was a bit off.
Kiana felt terrible. Seeing Luo Chen holding Mei, she wanted to go over and be held by Luo Chen too, but her subconscious told her she couldn't do that. A strange sense of grievance welled up in her heart.
Mei gradually stopped crying, left Luo Chen's embrace, wiped the tears from her face, and held Luo Chen's hand tightly, not daring to let go, as if Luo Chen would disappear from her sight if she let go.
Luo Chen glanced at Kiana, who was looking over at him, and Kiana's forlorn expression made him realize something.
'Kiana wouldn't like me too, would she? No way! I'm not a girl, how could that be!'
Luo Chen patted himself, complaining about his damn charm. He patted Mei's hand to make her let go, then walked up to Kiana, who was in a daze, and tapped her head with his finger.
"Kiana, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."
Kiana was startled by Luo Chen, feeling as if she had been tapped on the head. She covered her head and took a step back, blushing as she said, "It's nothing, it's none of your business!"
"No, why is your face red? I didn't do anything."
Luo Chen smiled at Kiana. Kiana looked much cuter than usual now, at least she wouldn't suddenly kick him.
Seeing that there were only two fists' width between Luo Chen and Kiana, Mei inexplicably pulled Luo Chen back and stood between the two of them.
"Chen, come back with us."
Mei's tone was almost pleading as she tugged at Luo Chen's sleeve, tears welling in her eyes. The days without Luo Chen were truly unbearable; she simply couldn't take it anymore.
"Luo Chen, why don't you come back with us? We can solve anything together."
Kiana also stepped forward, reaching out her hand but then pulling it back. She wanted to hold Luo Chen's hand but didn't dare, feeling a bitter taste in her mouth.
"I'm sorry, I can't go back yet."
Luo Chen gently patted Mei and Kiana's heads. He could have chosen not to meet them, but doing so would only lead to their endless pursuit of his whereabouts. Therefore, he had to shatter their hopes here.
"I haven't finished what I need to do, so I can't go with you now."
"So you're determined to leave."
Mei loosened her grip on Luo Chen's clothes, lowered her head, and her voice gradually faded. She tightened her grip on the hilt of the knife, the light in her eyes completely disappeared, and her head felt dizzy.
"I never expected you to break down because of a man."
Within the consciousness space, the Herrscher of Thunder, who had not been seen for a long time, pulled Mei's consciousness in and teased her.
What are you doing here? Wasn't the gem gone?
Mei was somewhat surprised, but she couldn't care less about that now. She needed power, the power to keep Luo Chen completely by her side. She couldn't accept Luo Chen leaving her again. This time, she wanted Luo Chen to be with her at all times.
“The gems are merely tools; the true Herrscher of Thunder is destined to be you.”
The appearance of the Herrscher of Thunder gradually became clear. Her overall appearance was not much different from Mei's. The demon horns on her head, the arms on her back, and the divine halo all showed the majesty of the Queen of Thunder. The red eyeshadow added a touch of charm to her.
"I need strength."
Mei placed her hands on the Herrscher of Thunder's shoulders, her dim eyes looking at the Herrscher of Thunder, her desire for power reaching its peak at this moment.
“You used to be very resistant to this power, but I never expected it would be for a man…”
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you're going to give it to me or not."
Mei's anxious appearance made the Herrscher of Thunder laugh out loud. Her body began to emit purple light, and countless points of light flew out from her body and into Mei's body.
"Remember this, Raiden Mei. From this day forward, you are the Herrscher of Thunder. Proclaim to the world the return of the Queen of Thunder."
After the Herrscher of Thunder finished speaking, her body disappeared, and Mei's consciousness returned to reality.
Just then, dark clouds gathered above Qianyu Academy, deafening thunderclaps rose and fell, purple lightning ripped through the dim sky, and several bolts of lightning struck the ground, announcing the arrival of the Thunder Queen.
Before Kiana could react to this sudden change, she felt something leave her. Upon closer inspection, she discovered it was the Conqueror Gem within her body.
The core returned to Mei's body, and crimson armor covered her body. Demon horns grew out, and her arms and divine halo appeared on her back.
Mei raised her hand, and with streaks of lightning, the Key of Heavenly Punishment appeared in her hand, while the Plasma Show hanging from her waist was thrown to the ground.
"Mei, what's wrong!"
Kiana shouted in a panic. Mei's sudden transformation into a Herrscher made her worry that Mei might be controlled by the Honkai will. Just as she was about to go forward to check the situation, Mei stopped her with one hand.
"I am fine."
Mei's voice was low as she looked at Luo Chen, who was already fully armed, and felt extremely desolate. She never thought that she would one day face Luo Chen in close combat.
"Mei, you... you've completely become the Herrscher of Thunder, haven't you?"
Luo Chen looked at Mei, who had transformed into a Herrscher. To be honest, she didn't want to fight them, but she had no choice but to fight.
"Are you coming back with us on your own, or should I beat you so badly that I take you back?"
Mei didn't answer, but said coldly that all she wanted now was to take Luo Chen back and discipline him properly. She just wanted Luo Chen to stay by her side.
“I told you, I can’t go back with you. I can’t stop until the very end in order to completely change this tragedy.”
"In that case, I have no choice but to take you back by force."
A sickly smile appeared on Mei's face. Not only Luo Chen, but Kiana also felt a little creeped out when she saw it, wondering why Mei was like this.
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky as Mei gripped the Key of Heavenly Punishment and swung it at Luo Chen. Kiana followed suit, throwing out several Void Spears, determined to bring Luo Chen back.
The Jizo-Mitama struck the Key of Heavenly Punishment, and the collision of the two produced sparks. The impact of the Honkai energy created a violent aftershock, shattering the windows of nearby buildings.
Luo Chen pushed aside the Key of Heavenly Punishment, etherealized himself to dodge the Void Spear, and lightning flashed on his body as he quickly moved away from his position, just in time to avoid a bolt of lightning.
"Mei, stop being so stubborn!"
Luo Chen and Mei faced off, considering whether to use an artificial collapse to forcibly defeat the two of them, but leaving like that might be a bit of a mess.
"What do you mean I shouldn't be willful? You're the one who's always the one being willful!"
Mei shouted angrily, and the lightning around her increased significantly, proving that her heart was not at peace at this moment.
"Every single time, you put others before yourself. Do you know how worried I am every time you go on a mission? I'm heartbroken every time you get injured, and I feel sad when you're not around. Do you even know any of this?!"
"I don't know any grand theories about saving the world, and I don't want to know them. I only know that you are more important than this world!"
Chapter 198 World Serpent Lord Abducts People Online
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's movements visibly paused. He was caught off guard and Mei slashed his arm. The Herrscher of Thunder's Honkai energy paralyzed him, disrupting his movements.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kiana used her Void Spear to knock off one of Luo Chen's legs, causing him to lose his balance and almost fall to the ground. Fortunately, Luo Chen teleported away, thus avoiding being subdued by Mei.
"Luo Chen, why won't you come back with us?"
Kiana manipulated the Void Spear to block Luo Chen's retreat, giving him no chance to dodge, and could only block Mei's attacks.
"No comment."
Luo Chen deflected Mei's knife, slashed down the Void Spears surrounding him, and flashed flames in his hand, obscuring Mei's vision. He then used the back of his knife to strike Mei's abdomen.
Mei took a few steps back, feeling a burning pain in her stomach. Luo Chen hadn't been able to control his strength just now; luckily, he had used the back of the blade, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Luo Chen, how could you hit Mei so hard?!"
Kiana leaped up and threw a punch at Luo Chen, using Honkai energy to form a giant cat claw that slammed towards him. Luo Chen severed the cat claw with a single strike, crimson flames erupting from his blade as he unleashed a sword beam towards Kiana.
A dragon's roar rang out, and Bella flapped her wings and circled around the rooftop. A ball of lightning neutralized the blade's edge and created a whirlwind in Luo Chen's direction.
Luo Chen rushed straight into the whirlwind, using his ethereal ability to pass through, and just happened to encounter Mei's sword.
Luo Chen raised his sword to meet the attack, and the two were locked in a stalemate for about half a second. Luo Chen used his overwhelming strength to push Mei back, and just as he was about to pursue, a bolt of lightning struck in front of him, temporarily blinding him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mei kicked Luo Chen with a whip kick. Luo Chen did not notice and flew backward, piercing through the rooftop's safety net and falling down.
The moment Luo Chen flew off the rooftop, he activated the armor's levitation mode, hovering in the air while clutching his lower back. He could feel the deep resentment in Mei's kick; it really hurt.
"Damn it, Mei, you're going to kill me!"
Luo Chen rubbed his lower back and looked down at Mei, whose face was cold. She was clearly a bit too hot-headed.
“How can you possibly come back with us if we don’t do this?”
