I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

Mei's gaze was also deeply drawn to that arrow.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that the beetle-shaped arrow seemed to be radiating a strange magic, silently calling to her.

"Can I...can I take a look?" She reached out her hand to Haimeng as if possessed.

"Of course!" Hai Meng handed the necklace to her.

The necklace felt cold to the touch, and the metal had an unusually heavy feel.

Mei's fingertips gently traced the mysterious patterns on the arrow, and an indescribable thrill rose from the bottom of her heart.

She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice her fingers slowly sliding toward the sharp tip of the arrow.

"hiss……"

A very soft cry of pain.

The arrowhead, sharper than anyone could imagine, easily sliced ​​through Mei's delicate fingertips.

A drop of bright red blood seeped from the tiny wound, as full as the dew on a flower petal in the morning.

But it didn't drip.

The moment it appeared, the ancient beetle arrow seemed to come alive, bursting forth with a faint light, greedily absorbing every last drop of blood.

Time seemed to be paused at this moment.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

next second.

boom--!

An indescribable, cold, and violently terrifying power, like a flood bursting its banks, suddenly erupted from the depths of Mei's heart!

"what--!"

She let out a painful cry, the necklace flew from her hand, and her body fell backward uncontrollably.

Countless blinding purple arcs of electricity, like wildly dancing venomous snakes, burst forth from her body, lashing wildly at everything around her!

Coffee table, sofa, television... everything was torn apart, melted, and turned into charred dust by the raging lightning!

Mei floated into the air, her long purple hair moving wildly without any wind.

The third law is the law of thunder.

At this moment, it arrives.

A series of rapid, thumping sounds came from upstairs, as if someone had tumbled down the stairs.

Kiana, her hair standing on end from the electric shock, rushed into the messy living room. She didn't even have time to put on shoes, stepping barefoot on the floor covered in debris and scorch marks.

When she saw the apocalyptic scene before her, especially Mei floating in mid-air, enveloped in purple lightning, she froze.

"Mei...Mei?" Kiana's voice trembled; she couldn't believe her eyes. "You...what's wrong with you?"

No one answered her.

Those eyes that once gazed at her tenderly were now replaced by indifference, looking down at everything on the ground as if a god were scrutinizing ants.

"What the hell!" Kiana's shock was quickly replaced by anger and worry. She yelled at the figure in mid-air, "Who are you! Get out of Mei's body!"

"Hey! Idiot! Don't be impulsive!" Rin Tohsaka shouted sharply, but it was too late.

Kiana charged forward fearlessly like a cannonball, reaching out to grab that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"Mei! Wake up! It's me! It's Kiana!"

Mei remained completely unmoved by Kiana's calls.

Mei, now in her herstic form, simply raised her hand, as if shooing away an annoying flying insect.

Her movements were effortless, even graceful.

But what followed was a violent burst of lightning powerful enough to tear the air apart.

A thick bolt of purple lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck Kiana precisely in the chest.

Kiana's roar abruptly stopped.

Her pajamas instantly turned into charred ashes, and she was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when she rushed forward, crashing heavily into the surviving load-bearing wall behind her.

?0ー⑵二洰捌⒊0⑼捌

With a loud "boom," spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall.

Kiana slid down the wall to the ground, letting out a painful groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Kiana!" Rin Tohsaka exclaimed in surprise.

"Tsk, what an absolute idiot." W grinned at the sight, a smile brimming with bloodthirsty excitement. "But that's what makes it interesting!"

Bronya silently stood in front of Kitagawa Haimu, who was pale with fright. She looked at Kiana lying on the ground, then looked up at the figure in mid-air that exuded divine majesty. For the first time, her eyes revealed an emotion called "powerlessness".

"Have you seen enough?" Gu Ye's voice broke the silence. He was still shirtless, water droplets still sliding down his muscle lines. "If we don't make a move soon, that white-haired paramecium will really turn into roast meat."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared behind Ritsuka Mei, and his hand, which had just come out of the bathroom and was still damp, gently pressed on Mei's shoulder.

There were no earth-shattering sounds, nor any dazzling light effects.

But the moment Gu Ye's palm touched Mei's skin, an invisible and heavy force instantly enveloped the space.

The arcs of electricity swirling around Mei's body seemed to be choked, emitting a reluctant "zzzz" sound before suddenly contracting inward.

The ability to "forecast" weather – localized superhigh pressure.

The air became as thick and heavy as mercury, pressing down on the Herrscher's every breath and heartbeat.

"Now!" Rin Tohsaka seized the opportunity and hurled the three red gems she had prepared into the air.

"Feuer! Wasser! Wind!"

The three gems formed a triangle in the air, instantly bursting forth with dazzling magical light, creating a huge, semi-transparent magical barrier that completely imprisoned the rampaging lightning within the villa's perimeter.

"Let me join in the fun!" W let out a delighted shriek, pulled a silver cylinder from her tactical vest, unzipped it, and threw it at Herrscher of Reason Mei's feet at a tricky angle.

That's not a bomb.

The cylinder disintegrated in mid-air, releasing intense flashes of light powerful enough to burn a retina and deafening high-frequency noise.

A triple blow followed.

The body is suppressed by an irresistible force, energy is blocked by a solid barrier, and perception is interfered with by a violent storm of sound and light.

More importantly, Gu Ye had already cleared away almost all the Honkai energy in the city.

Without the replenishment of external energy, the Herrscher Core is like water without a source or a tree without roots.

Even if you wanted to connect the imaginary space through the core, you couldn't.

The figure floating in the air trembled violently.

The purple light in Mei's eyes began to flicker wildly, like a television set about to break down.

The cold, ruthless divinity that belonged to the Heralds is being replaced by the chaotic, passionate emotions that belong to humanity.

Fear, confusion, worry... and the unforgettable pain of seeing that figure lying in the corner.

“Kiana…”

A broken, tearful syllable was squeezed out of her throat with difficulty.

The light went out completely.

The purple arcs of electricity that had been coiling around her dissipated, and her wildly dancing purple hair fell limply to the ground.

The light purple in her eyes returned, but after seeing the devastation before her and Kiana lying in a pool of blood, her beautiful eyes were filled with endless terror and despair.

The body lost its support and fell helplessly from mid-air.

Gu Ye reached out and steadily caught her soft body in his arms.

Chapter 21 The Valkyrie's Return

The girl in his arms was still trembling slightly, her consciousness seemingly hovering on the edge of a nightmare.

The living room was filled with the smell of burning, mixed with the faint fragrance of the girl.

No one had yet had time to catch their breath from the brief but thrilling battle.

"boom--!"

The villa's already dilapidated gate was forced open from the outside by brute force.

Splinters of wood flew in as three figures, bringing with them the chill of the night, burst in.

"What was that energy reaction all about just now?!" Himeko took the lead, her fiery red trench coat whipping up a gust of wind.

But her question was cut off halfway through.

Her gaze swept past the opposing crowd and settled on the figure huddled in the corner.

"This girl!" Himeko's pupils contracted sharply. She didn't care about anything else and rushed over, crouching down to carefully examine Kiana's injuries.

"Hey! How are you? Wake up!"

Walter followed behind Himeko, his gaze quickly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

When his gaze fell on the purple-haired girl in Gu Ye's arms, whose expression was pained and whose eyes still bore traces of tears, he pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses becoming unusually deep, but he chose to remain silent.

Rita was the last to enter, maintaining her elegant demeanor as if she were attending a banquet rather than entering a ruin where a fierce battle had just taken place.

Her gaze didn't linger for even a second on the messy living room or the injured Himeko, but instead locked onto the unconscious Kiana with precision, like a hawk.

“Kiana Kaslana,” Rita said softly, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

Her face still wore a perfect smile, but her wine-red eyes had lost all warmth.

“I never expected to meet you here.” She bowed slightly, as if in a salute, but her tone was an unquestionable command. “Kiana Kaslana, daughter of Siegfried Kaslana, a defector from Destiny. By order of His Holiness the Bishop, I request that you come with us back to headquarters.”

"Back to headquarters? Ha, that sounds nice." W scoffed, taking two steps forward and blocking Rita and Kiana's path. The grenade launcher in her hand gleamed dangerously under the lights. "Is your Schicksal's way of inviting people over to kidnap them and dissect them for research?"

“Miss, this is an internal matter of Destiny,” Rita’s smile remained unchanged. “I suggest you do not interfere.”

"Internal affairs?" Rin Tohsaka stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with W. She crossed her arms, her legs taut beneath her black pleated miniskirt, exuding power. "She's our comrade now. You call this an internal affair?"

"So, there's nothing to talk about?" Rita's smile faded slightly. "That's a shame. I didn't want things to get this abrupt."

Before she could finish speaking, her figure had already transformed into a gray-gold phantom, and a huge rose scythe had appeared in her hand without her noticing. The blade sliced ​​through the air, accompanied by a shrill whistle, and went straight for Kiana, who was lying on the ground!

"Your opponents are us!" he shouted sharply.

The battle broke out in an instant.

W pulled the trigger, and a sticky bomb hurtled towards Rita's path.

Rita deftly twisted her body in mid-air, bracing herself against the ground with the hilt of her scythe, and changed direction as if she were a weightless feather, easily dodging the explosion.

But what greeted her were three gems that shimmered with a crimson light.

"Gandr!" Rin shouted, and the black curses shot from her fingertips were like a dense barrage of bullets, blocking all of Rita's escape routes.

"Good teamwork." Rita exclaimed, her scythe flashing as it created an impenetrable silver light screen, deflecting all the incoming magic bullets.

"It's not over yet!" W laughed wildly and pulled the trigger again.

This time, instead of a bomb, a rapidly unfolding metal net was fired.

Rita had to retreat, but W's attacks followed her relentlessly. The flames from the explosions and Rin's magical radiance intertwined, illuminating the entire living room with flickering light.

Rita's figure moved through the firelight like a dancing butterfly, elegant yet deadly.

However, Rin and W's teamwork was seamless. One was responsible for precise strikes and restrictions, while the other was responsible for large-scale firepower suppression, preventing her from ever crossing the line.

After a loud explosion, Rita jumped back, creating some distance.

The blast wave tore open the sleeve of her maid outfit on her left arm, revealing her fair skin and making her look somewhat disheveled.

"Hehe, the two ladies are certainly very hospitable." Rita straightened her skirt, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger. "It seems that I won't be able to take Miss Kaslana away tonight."
