Collapse, I save everything alone

"call……"

"Is it the right time for me to come?"

Mingyu said with a low laugh.

"...Bronya knew you would come to save me."

The silver-haired girl leaned into his arms and said with her eyes closed.

She felt a little tired, but this fatigue was not physical - when she was a soldier and a killer, she had experienced much more tiring missions than this.

This feeling of exhaustion is more psychological.

"You're sad, Bronya."

Mingyu said in a low voice.

"...Bronya no longer has an emotional center and cannot feel sad."

The silver-haired girl turned her head slightly and stubbornly denied it.

"Even so, you're still sad."

"..."

This time, Bronya did not refute.

She was indeed sad, sad about what happened to Cocolia.

The woman in her past memories who had given her family warmth and motherly care no longer existed in this world.

"If you want to rest here for a while, I can accompany you."

"No, let's first complete the task..."

Bronya is not the type of person who would dwell in sorrow forever, and now is not the time to be controlled by her emotions.

The silver-haired girl was about to stand up, but suddenly realized something:

"Oh, right, those Herrscher clones outside..."

Since Mingyu has already used mental means to invade her consciousness space and can still chat with her so leisurely here, it means that the Walter series clones who suppressed her in reality have been eliminated.

"Those fakes? Don't worry, I've already taken care of them."

Relying on the protection of the [No Lower Limit Technique] and the Inch Heart Fist, he easily took care of this group of impostors who were far inferior to Watt One and Watt Two.

After regaining consciousness, Bronya opened her eyes and saw the group of blue-haired clones lying in a pool of blood. They had died tragically and had no chance of survival.

"The guy who's in the way..."

Cocolia's image appeared on the screen in the hall. She stared at Mingyu with displeasure, obviously caring a lot about the fact that he had ruined her good thing.

She had never expected that Mingyu, a "B-level Valkyrie", possessed such unimaginable power that she could destroy her entire team of clones.

However, she hasn't used up all her cards yet.

Since Gray Snake's attempt has failed, her only option now is to eliminate the root of the problem.

"Haha... It doesn't matter if there's one more of you. Titan mecha array, move out!"

As Cocolia finished her words, a large number of Titan mechas poured into the square from all directions.

As the crystallization of Anti-Entropy's technological power, they possess superior performance. As long as there are enough of them, even a Destiny A-class Valkyrie can be defeated.

As soon as the tactical mechas appeared, they locked onto Mingyu and Bronya and launched a fierce artillery attack.

Mingyu did not fight back against these tactical mechas, but simply launched the [Unlimited Technique] to protect himself and Bronya.

"Mingyu, Xiaotu has calculated the location of Cocolia. Here are the coordinates."

The communication with Cocolia and the confrontation with the gray snake gave the rabbit precious opportunities, giving it enough time to reverse calculate their coordinates.

Bronya then sent the space coordinates to Mingyu.

He glanced at the coordinates and said:

"Yes, I have received it."

This old witch was indeed hiding in the airspace near the fortress.

Now, the location of Thunder Ryuma and Cocolia's hiding place are both known.

Mingyu did not plan to take action now. Although he could guarantee to rescue Raiden Ryuma, he could not guarantee to kill Cocolia.

Although it is said to be close, it is actually dozens of kilometers away, which is enough for the woman who is worried about her life to choose to evacuate when something unusual happens.

This consideration may also be taken into account when choosing to stay on an aircraft in the air.

Taking into account the possible black technology of Cocolia and World Snake, Mingyu is not sure that he can kill the opponent remotely at this distance.

This is also the reason why he did not chase the Gray Snake in Bronya's consciousness space just now. This timeline and this attempt were only used to collect intelligence and information.

If I were to strike her, I would have to catch her by surprise and make sure she died.

In short, the location of Raiden Ryoma is now known - he has confirmed it in advance, and the other party is indeed imprisoned in room C-13. The coordinates of Cocolia have also been obtained, and Bronya has also been rescued.

Then, the only thing left is...

At this moment, the entire fortress suddenly began to shake violently.

Deafening thunder roared outside, like a bolt from the blue sky. Soon, the ceiling of the building above Mingyu and Bronya was completely cut open. Sunlight and cold wind poured into the fortress, and the two people living in the fortress were able to see the light of day again.

No, it should be said that the entire fortress was cut in half by an anxious girl using the power of a Herrscher.

Of course, the only one who can do such a thing is Mei.

I saw a girl with lightning flashing all over her body standing in the air, her eyes glowing red.

——As Mingyu had predicted, because she was unable to contact them, Mei finally chose to attack the fortress directly.

Cocolia, who was far in the sky, saw that the Herrscher of Thunder had finally appeared at the scene. She showed no fear at all, and her previous displeasure was also washed away:

"Gray Snake, quickly activate the devices you have set up. Now is the time to capture the Herrscher!"

Chapter 153: Yellow Spring Staff

The purple-haired girl stood high in the sky, her scarlet eyes staring at the enemies below, with lightning flashing on her body.

The one who is controlling this body now is the personality of the Holy Mark, that is, the girl who named herself "Mei Beichen".

She hasn't appeared in the real world for a long time. It's a rare opportunity for her to make a big scene, so she can't wait.

——After all, she was slightly affected by the power of the Herrscher, and she never had any objection to using violence to destroy something.

It was just that for the sake of Raiden Mei, she had been suppressing this impulse.

But now, the opportunity for her to use her power wantonly to destroy the enemy is right in front of her. Mei also told herself not to worry about anything and just destroy as much as she wanted.

Before attacking, she first confirmed that Mingyu and Bronya were normal, and then began the cleaning and destruction operations.

She held a sharp blade transformed from thunder in her hand. Because of her power, dark clouds began to gather in the sky. Countless thunders fell from the sky and accurately struck one Titan mech after another.

With just one lightning strike, she could completely destroy a mecha, turning it into a piece of scrap metal that could no longer move.

Because Bronya and Mingyu were still there, she couldn't directly use large-scale thunder attacks and could only use this relatively inefficient method to eliminate them.

The remaining Titan mechas that had not been attacked also changed their targets. They no longer targeted Mingyu and Bronya, but instead raised their guns and poured their remaining firepower towards Mei in the air.

Faced with the countless artillery fire, the purple-haired girl didn't care much. She just waved her hand and created an electromagnetic shield in front of her.

The azure shield blocked shell after shell, allowing the explosion to occur outside the shield without affecting her who was inside it.

At this moment, several special shells landed on the electromagnetic shield, and the explosion caused the indestructible shield to tremble slightly.

"……Um?"

Mei narrowed her eyes slightly.

This is a shell specifically designed to target electromagnetic shields. It can effectively weaken the shield's defense, and it is difficult to eliminate it because it is mixed in with ordinary shells.

Although a few shells would not have any effect on her shield, if the number increased, there was still a possibility of penetrating her defense.

Increasing the Honkai energy support for the electromagnetic shield to maintain it is naturally a solution, but she doesn't need to be stubborn in resisting these artillery fires. After all, it is just a waste of Honkai energy.

Besides, she didn't want to stay in the air any longer.

Well, the latter reason is actually the key point.

Thinking of this, the girl simply removed the electromagnetic shield that was protecting herself, and with a sword in hand, she fell to the ground like a bolt of thunder.

The violent impact directly destroyed a Titan mecha. After the smoke cleared, the girl stood on the wreckage of the mecha that had turned into scrap metal. Like a cold queen, she glanced coldly at the other enemies around her.

Before their guns turned their guns back toward her, the girl moved again.

Wherever the lightning went, all the mechas were cut into several pieces. The mechas were enveloped by her thunder, emitting a burnt smell, and mechanical fragments flew everywhere.

The Herrscher of Thunder's extreme speed coupled with Beichen's swordsmanship with the sword left these bulky tactical mechas with no room to fight back and they could only passively take the beating.

The girl felt a hint of pleasure - it turned out to be more enjoyable in close combat.

However, her actions were all expected by someone far away.

"Very good, the prey has been caught...trap, activate."

Through the photographic monitoring equipment, Gray Snake watched the movement trajectory of the Third Herrscher.

"Destroy as much as you want, Herrscher. Before you know it, you have become... a bird in a cage."

The Titan mechas are nothing more than a group of cannon fodder. It is nonsense to expect them to defeat the Herrschers.

Their role was simply to use artillery fire to guide the Third Herrscher to descend from the air, ensuring that she would land on the ground and eventually... stand on the trap that it had carefully installed in the basement of the fortress.

Now is the perfect time to activate the trap.

As for Mingyu, he attributed the miraculous method he used to protect Bronya just now to some kind of ability of the Pseudo-Herrscher. Therefore, as long as this trap is activated, it should be able to affect him, making him temporarily disabled and completing the next capture.

Gray Snake pressed the start button, and almost at the same time, a dazzling red light burst out from the underground of the entire square.

The light slowly rose from the ground, enveloping everyone present.

This red light had no effect on Mingyu, Bronya and the surviving tactical mechas.

But the girl, who was still running and killing at a speed invisible to the naked eye, suddenly stopped.

"Varied……"

Mei looked at the lightning on her right hand that was gradually disappearing, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

——Her ability to control lightning and electromagnetism is rapidly disappearing.

For her, who was born a long time ago, controlling lightning is a natural and innate authority, as natural as birds flying and fish swimming. She has never imagined the possibility that she might one day lose the ability to control it.

The lightning Buddha light dissipated from her body, and the physical enhancement brought by the power of the Herrscher was also weakened to a certain extent.

Although it did not disappear completely, it was impossible to move at the same high speed as before.

Take advantage of her illness to kill her. Under Cocolia's order, the surrounding Titan mechas seized this opportunity and swarmed over, intending to trap Mei and give her a fatal blow, but unfortunately, Mingyu was faster than them.

Before the mechas' attacks fell on Mei, Mingyu arrived beside the purple-haired girl.

[Unlimited Technique] After resisting the mecha's heavy punch attack, Mingyu held Mei in his left hand and Bronya in his right hand, and flew into the air with the two girls, landing on the plane cut by Mei.

"Hmm... I, what on earth is this..."

The originally arrogant Queen of Thunder and Lightning, having lost her power, rarely showed a weak expression.

Mingyu consoled:

"This is a trap that Cocolia prepared for you. It is a special electromagnetic field that temporarily suppresses your connection with the imaginary space. Don't worry, this effect is only temporary."

The force acting on Mei is the effect of the [Yellow Spring Staff].

——A restriction device developed using technology from a previous civilization that targets the Herrscher's core. It can disrupt the connection between the Herrscher and the imaginary space, causing the Honkai energy in their bodies to temporarily become disordered.

Of course, judging by the tragic situation of the former civilization being destroyed by one Herrscher after another, this device probably didn’t play a big role.

It is estimated that this thing was developed after the Herrscher of Domination, and the last two Herrschers before the End, Herrscher of Constraint and Herrscher of Corrosion, are not beings that can be affected by the Staff of Hades.

One relies on a barrier with a radius of 100 kilometers to make all weapons and soldiers lose their combat capabilities, and the other... is a demon that lives in an ordinary girl and only appears after her death.

Simply put, it was born at the wrong time.
