Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

Although Eos is just a transport ship, "Steinstein" is an organization that fights against Honkai after all, so even if it is a transport ship, some detection equipment is still equipped.

After giving Kiana a quick checkup, Li Wen was surprised to find that Kiana's condition not only did not get worse, but got better.

After testing, it seemed that one of the Herrscher cores in her body was missing. Because of this, the load she needed to bear was also reduced a lot.

Judging from the wavelength frequencies of the two cores still existing in her body, the one that disappeared just happened to correspond to the Conquest Gem of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Chapter 17: Hand over Kiana

"Could it be Raiden Mei?"

Li Wen made this judgment immediately. After all, as the owner of the Gem of Conquest, since Kiana's current condition is normal, the change of the imaginary singularity can only come from the Herrscher of Thunder who once caused the third collapse.

After confirming his guess, Li Wen began to deduce frantically in his mind.

The imaginary singularity appeared in Changkong City because of the birth of the Third Herrscher. After that, because Mei Raiden regained her normal identity, the imaginary singularity has been in an "open" state, which has led to the accumulation of so much Honkai energy in Changkong City today.

And now that the imaginary singularity suddenly begins to close, does it mean that Mei Raiden has regained her power and become the Herrscher of Thunder again?

This is very likely, and the disappearance of the Conquest Gem from Kiana's body is the best proof.

If something hadn't happened to the Third Herrscher, how could the Conquest Gem have disappeared for no reason?

Based on this reasoning, Li Wen came up with another conjecture.

"In other words, even if the gem is in someone else's body, it will disappear with the reappearance of the Herrscher's power?"

However, this raises a new problem.

How did Mei Raiden know this? How did she know that she could become the Herrscher of Thunder again without the Conquest Stone?

"Could it be research on 'reversing entropy'?"

Li Wen fell into deep thought.

After all, the two scientists of "Anti-Entropy" are indeed geniuses, and he would not be too surprised that they were able to calculate this situation.

No, that's not right!

Soon, Li Wen shook his head again and overturned his guess.

If "Anti-Entropy" could really transform Mei Raiden into the Herrscher of Thunder again, it would be impossible for her to wait so long in Changkong City before taking action.

The most important thing is, if they really hope to do it.

Then they just need to let Mei Raiden, who is the third Herrscher, become the Herrscher of Thunder. Not only can they close the imaginary singularity to solve the problem of Changkong City, but they can also alleviate the erosion of Kiana's body. There is no need for Kiana to drag such a body to fight for life with those imaginary creations and quantum shadows.

In other words, Mei Raiden's transformation into the Herrscher of Thunder again was due to an accident or the intervention of a third-party force.

If it's an accident, this possibility is indeed there. After all, Mei Raiden has been in Changkong City for quite a long time. As the birthplace of the Herrscher of Thunder, it is possible that she can cause some resonance with the imaginary singularity.

However, if a third party intervenes, which force would understand Honkai better than "Destiny"?

A name suddenly appeared in his mind - "World Snake"!

As a "hero" who witnessed the final end of the previous civilization and fought against the collapse to this day, Kevin's understanding of the collapse is definitely not comparable to theirs.

But how can Mei Raiden get Kevin's help?

As he thought about this, the raven and its children flashed through his mind.

The World Snake, Kevin, the benefits gained by Raven, and Mei Raiden's re-transformation into a Herrscher...

All the information connected together in his mind, and he got an answer that he found a little incredible - Raiden Mei might have reached some cooperation with the World Serpent under the guidance of Raven.

Can Mei Raiden really offer enough conditions to impress that man?

Li Wen didn't know.

But when all the information comes together, it does show that the two sides have indeed reached some cooperation.

"Interesting."

Li Wen couldn't help but laugh. After "Destiny" and "World Snake" reached a cooperation, they both came to "Anti-Entropy" at the same time.

What a good pair of allies.

However, there is still a hidden danger. Is Mei Raiden, who has regained the power of the Herrscher, a human being with the power of the Herrscher, or has she become an apostle of Honkai again? He must be on guard.

Just as Li Wen was sighing, Alvette's voice came again on the communication channel, "The third Herrscher has been discovered!"

"What is the specific situation?" Li Wen immediately asked in the communication channel.

"The other party doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us for the time being. They are clearing out the imaginary creations and quantum shadows that were born from the observation experiment." After observing for a while, Alvette immediately answered cautiously.

"It seems she's retained consciousness." Li Wen pondered for a moment before issuing another order over the combat comms. "Rita, lead the 'Immortal Blade' to continue the cleanup mission. Yulandel, keep an eye on Mei Raiden to prevent her from launching a sudden attack."

"Yes." The responses from the two S-class Valkyries came through the communicator.

Although Mei Raiden's current condition indicated that her consciousness was normal, he still asked Yulandel to be prepared for defense just in case, so as to avoid being attacked unexpectedly and causing casualties to the "Immortal Blade".

Just in case, he also left the Eos and stood in the rain, looking at the sky and watching the red lightning flashing back and forth between the clouds.

However, after only looking for a moment, he shifted his gaze to a dilapidated building not far away.

Because of the adsorption caused by the observation experiment, the building has long been damaged beyond recognition, and it is unknown which floor the top is from.

A man with white hair and black clothes stood quietly at the edge, just like he did just now, staring at Raiden Mei in the sky.

Li Wen was not at all surprised by the man who suddenly appeared here.

"Kevin Kaslana, what on earth do you want to do?"

Looking at the other person's indifferent expression that seemed to have remained unchanged for eternity, Li Wen thought secretly in his heart.

Judging from the opponent's actions, he undoubtedly wants to fight against Honkai, but the question is, why did he come here specifically to help Raiden Mei in the fight against Honkai? Can the power of a mere Herrscher really help him in the battle?

Li Wen couldn't figure it out, but he was too lazy to ask.

The "World Snake" has its own code of conduct, and Li Wen also has his own plans.

No matter what the other party wants to do, just don't interfere with you.

So, amid the roar of thunder and rain, the two most powerful men in the world began their waiting.

……

After a long time, until the staff of "Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle" had completed the follow-up work of the experiment, the last quantum shadow completely dissipated.

The imaginary singularity has been closed, the observation experiment has been completed, and it seems that each camp has accomplished its task.

Just as Li Wen was recalling the Valkyrie troops, a bolt of lightning fell in front of him with a roar.

"Hand over Kiana."

The newly born Herrscher of Thunder looked at the man in front of him and spoke in a cold tone.

Chapter 18: The Ruler of Thunder, Nothing More Than This

After hearing what Mei Raiden said, Li Wen had no intention of lying.

After all, Benares is now lying in the open space in front of the Eos. As long as there is no problem with Mei Raiden's eyesight, she will know where Kiana is.

But the question is, why did Mei Raiden come directly to the base of "Stein"?

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Kevin who was standing on a building in the distance.

When he rescued Kiana, Mei Raiden was not present, and he could also guarantee that the people from "Anti-Entropy" could not detect the specific situation, so it was only possible that someone told Mei Raiden about this.

However, Kevin still stood there like an ancient stone tablet, with an indifferent expression on his face, and had no intention of explaining to his "ally".

Retracting his gaze, Li Wen put on that gentle smile again on his face, "I'm sorry, Miss Mei, I'm afraid this won't work.

"I'm sure you've heard the details from Anti-Entropy. Kiana's condition was already dire, and after this intense battle, we need to treat her and stabilize her condition."

"No need. I've regained the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, and Kiana's condition should have improved." Raiden Mei spoke coldly, shattering Li Wen's lies. "Besides, everyone at Anti-Entropy will take good care of her."

"Ms. Raiden Mei, Kiana's condition cannot be determined by just one sentence. According to her current condition, she must receive treatment from "Destiny." Li Wen's attitude was also very tough. He had finally got such an opportunity, and he would not hand over Kiana so easily.

Seeing Li Wen's tough look, Mei Lei's eyes gradually darkened.

"If you are really worried and worried that we will hurt Kiana, you can come to "Destiny" with Kiana. And with your help, maybe it will be easier for us to completely heal Kiana." Li Wen spoke again and extended his invitation to Raiden Mei.

After all, the person in front of him is a human who actually masters the power of the Herrscher. By understanding his situation, it might be helpful to treat Kiana's body.

However, in Mei Raiden's opinion, the so-called treatment of "Destiny" is just various experiments on the Herrscher.

Li Wen's words were a naked provocation to her.

The other party not only wants to take Kiana away, but also wants to send her to the "Destiny" experimental table.

But she is no longer the same person as before!

Then, the new Herrscher of Thunder drew his katana and pointed it at Li Wen, "I repeat one last time, hand over Kiana!"

Seeing Mei Raiden show her weapon, many Valkyries including Yulandel and Rita immediately took a defensive stance.

However, facing the threat from Raiden Mei, Li Wen simply waved his hand, turned his head slightly and said to the person behind him: "You guys go aboard first, it's time for us to leave."

Yulandel was still a little hesitant when she saw Mei Lei Dian, but after being persuaded by Rita who understood Li Wen's meaning, she finally boarded the Eos with many Valkyries.

Turning his head again, Li Wen looked at the third Herrscher in front of him. His face was no longer smiling as before, but very calm, as calm as the calm before a rainstorm.

"Ms. Raiden Mei, perhaps my attitude has caused you to misunderstand something. My kindness is limited, so please refrain from such misleading behavior. I promised to return Kiana Kaslana to you intact after healing her, and that was no lie."

Li Wen looked at Raiden Mei calmly, "So, in this situation, are you still going to fight me?"

Mei was a little hesitant. After all, this person had never done anything to hurt anyone, and even Kiana was saved by him.

However, compared to believing the other party's words, she distrusts "fate" even more!

Having made up her mind, she swung the sword in her hand and stabbed towards Li Wen like thunder.

However, with just two fingers, Li Wen easily prevented the sword in her hand, which was wrapped in the power of thunder, from moving forward at all.

"How can it be?!"

Looking at the two fingers holding the blade, Mei Raiden's mind went blank for a moment.

Even if she had held back in order not to harm the opponent's life, the sword that carried the power of the Herrscher of Thunder shouldn't have been so easily blocked!

Mei, who didn't believe in evil, immediately began to draw the power from the Herrscher's core, causing the lightning wrapped around the long sword to become darker red.

However, amidst the constantly dancing electric light, the two fingers still held the blade firmly, without suffering any harm.

Even when she exerted all her strength, Li Wen remained motionless.

This weapon, which had wiped out countless imaginary creations and quantum shadows not long ago, now fell between Li Wen's fingers, like an ordinary wooden stick, without showing any true power.

At this moment, Li Wen's nonchalant attitude and Mei's full-strength attack formed a sharp contrast.

Mei Raiden had to come to a conclusion - she was no match for Li Wen.

But, for Kiana, even in the face of such an unusual situation, Mei Raiden will not give up.

Moreover, she has more than one weapon.

Under the stimulation of the Herrscher Core, a huge gauntlet floating behind her immediately pulled out the giant sword held in it and slashed towards Li Wen.

Facing another attack from Raiden Mei, Li Wen simply raised his left arm and blocked it in front of him.

boom--

The giant blade slashed on Li Wen's left arm, making a loud noise.

Even amid the roar of thunder, the clanging sound of metal clashing was so clear and crisp.

Mei Raiden was very desperate. Even though she used all her strength, she was still easily suppressed by Li Wen. She was unable to rescue Kiana from the other party.

Using both hands at the same time, Li Wen pushed the opponent away for a distance.

However, after being shaken away, Mei rushed forward again, brandishing her katana.

Faced with Mei's crazy attack, Li Wen didn't even fight hard this time, but just used his body skills to dodge continuously.

Like a butterfly flapping its wings in a storm, Li Wen easily avoided all of Mei's attacks.

Feeling the opponent's full strength, Li Wen shook his head slightly. The opponent's strength was weaker than he thought, and even his skills were just average.

This skill is pretty good for an ordinary Valkyrie, but it's too poor for a Herrscher.

"The Herr of Thunder is nothing more than this."
