Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

[At that moment, she could only watch as Kiana leaped onto Benares's dragon back and flew towards the purple halo in the sky...]

******

The live stream briefly showed the level completion screen, and everyone, including Yingmei, Alicia, and others in the Dust Song Pot, Theresa and others, and Fu Xuan and others in the Starry Sky World, were all involuntarily captivated by this storyline.

Mei chased after the shooting star that hurtled into the sky like a madwoman, constantly calling out that person's name.

Even though she knew the other person couldn't hear her and that her actions were meaningless, she couldn't control her body, just as she couldn't stop running, couldn't stop longing, and couldn't ignore what she was seeing.

[Tears streamed down Mei's face, blurring her vision. She saw countless quantum shadows sweeping towards the giant dragon.]

[With each collision, a golden flash streaks across the sky; each ray of light represents Kiana's burning life.]

[At this moment, Raiden Mei was absolutely certain that it was a figure she could never reach!]

[It wasn't that Kiana intentionally left her.]

[But the woman named Raiden Mei is too weak!]

["If Mei were here..."]

"That's equivalent to the strength of 100 people!"

[That's what Kiana said during the mission in Canghai City. Can she still provide Kiana with the power of 100 people now?]

She hated how weak she felt!

[Looking through her memories, Raiden Mei realized something: "I always naively thought... nothing would change. But in the blink of an eye, you, who were always by my side, have flown to a distant place I can never reach..."]

[“It’s because I was too weak…it’s because I couldn’t protect you…”]

[“It’s me…”]

"It was this that led you to your current fate."

"Kiana, you will definitely become a hero. The world is waiting for you to become a hero. But I..."

["Maybe... I'm the one who's wrong..."]

Kiana...

"We can never go back to the way things were."

******

The flashback effect was overwhelming, with Mei in the story bursting into tears, and Theresa and others watching on screen were equally overwhelmed. Kiana, needless to say, sobbed uncontrollably as she hugged Mei beside her, repeatedly apologizing to her.

[Just then—]

[With a mournful dragon's roar, Benares plummeted like a shooting star, a black and gold greatsword still embedded in his body!]

Fear and unease gripped Mei's body.

[She struggled to get closer and saw Benares lying on the ground, barely alive. She looked around but couldn't see Kiana.]

[Accompanied by the ticking of the clock.]

[A gigantic, strangely shaped, humanoid imaginary creation gripped the hilt of a black-gold greatsword.]

[Imaginary God Remains - Nihilism!]

At this moment, Mei is no match for Him.

[But each time she fell, Mei rose again with her unwavering will.]

[finally...]

[This enormous imaginary creation remained motionless.]

Surprisingly, this imaginary creation could also reverse time.

[A sword thrust at Mei, as if time had stood still, catching her completely off guard.]

[Just as the greatsword was about to pierce Mei's body, the dying Benares stepped forward and blocked the fatal blow!]

[Faced with the second sword strike that followed, and with death looming, Mei fell into a state of calm.]

[All that could be seen was endless darkness.]

[Some cried out, some wailed, some remained silent, some collapsed...]

[In the end, only silence remained.]

"Crybaby..."

["haven't seen you for a long time."]

A cold yet familiar voice came from the silent darkness.

A purple trickle appeared in the darkness.

[It enveloped, pushed, and embraced every corner of her body, leading her to the purple halo.]

"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to come to me."

"Are you no longer afraid?"

[Fear? Mei no longer felt fear; resentment, self-blame, sadness, pain... all those emotions had vanished.]

[Only silence remained.]

["You've changed so much..."]

"If you keep going forward, you will fall into an even deeper hell."

It doesn't matter.

[I can get her out of hell.]

["You will say goodbye to everything you have now, goodbye to your companions, goodbye to your family."]

It doesn't matter.

I've gotten used to being alone.

"You will face doubt and criticism, and walk further and further down a lonely road."

It doesn't matter.

That was the fate I was meant to face long ago.

["You will leave her forever, never again to be by her side, to see her smile, to hold her hand."]

"Once you take that step, there's no turning back."

["you..."]

"Do we really have to do this?"

[After a long silence, Mei finally made her decision—she was willing to give up everything to save Kiana!]

"Go!"

"Bury me with your own hands!"

["Let my anger, my lament, my passing..."]

"May it become the strength that propels you forward in your solitary journey!"

"Go to the whole world and announce the return of the Thunder Queen!"

[“Go and become—”]

"Be the true Herrscher of Thunder!"

[A dazzling purple lightning filled Mei's eyes. She completely abandoned her cowardice and spoke in unison with her Herrscher personality: "Goodbye... Raiden Mei."]

[Amidst endless purple light.]

[Raiden Mei and her Herrscher personality have completely merged into one!]

Everyone: "..."

Silence. Silence is the only thing in the live stream right now.

******

[The scene shifts back to reality—]

[Just as the Imaginary God's Remains was about to pierce Raiden Mei, a crimson bolt of lightning crashed down, and Mei transformed into her Herrscher form.]

[The dark golden greatsword flew backward. The current Void Tree God was no match for the Herrscher of Thunder. Mei easily dodged each of its attacks, transforming into red lightning. However, Mei's attacks were difficult for it to withstand.]

[As the red arm armor delivered its final strike, the bizarre imaginary creature crashed to the ground, vanishing along with the lightning.]

[Rain poured down, tears streaming from Raiden Mei's eyes. She silently walked towards the dead dragon, gently stroking its dull scales.]

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ······

[Sparkling rays of light transformed into a warm current, spreading from her fingertips and merging into her enormous body.]

[Within the light, a weak voice pleaded with her; Raiden Mei saw memories belonging to the dragon...]

"She has been flying ever since she woke up."

[“Benares, Honkai Beasts, monsters… People on the ground screamed and fled.”]

But she couldn't hear those sounds.

["She could only hear the one restless thought in her heart."]

"Fight for the Queen."

"To protect the queen who calls herself 'Bella'."

["She flew over snowfields, over mountains, over starry skies, over the mortal world... In the end, she fell, and could never fly again."]

"Holding onto the memories of the dragon that died, only one last voice remained in her heart."

["Your Majesty the Queen..."]

["I want to hear you call my name one more time..."]

[Raindrops fell from the sky, crimson scales replaced the wounds, and the dragon rose again, spreading its wings to proclaim its rebirth. But it was no longer Benares; the soul of Bella had vanished.]

******

As the story progressed to this point, no one in the live stream posted any comments, and the faint sobbing and crying of Theresa and others as they completely broke down could be heard.
