章 137: Chapter 137: Awakening of the Thunder Herrscher
If you're still stuck in the past, maybe you need someone to kick you from behind to give you the drive to move forward.
Chase was more than happy to oblige, although he seemed to have been a bit too forceful and ended up pushing the other party into a ditch.
Raiden Mei's vision darkened, and her sight gradually blurred. Her body felt drained of strength, and she weakly sat on the cold cement floor, reaching out to try to touch the girl's hand.
But she didn't manage to touch it. Trying to stand up, her body involuntarily fell, losing the strength to get up again.
What was once within reach now seemed distant, and the distance that was within reach had now become an insurmountable chasm.
Raiden Mei felt a sense of despair as inexplicable emotions simmered and stirred in her heart, continuously assaulting her already weak psychological defenses.
She saw the sword slowly being pulled out of the girl's chest, and she could also see the continuous dripping of bright red blood from the sword...
As the sword was pulled out of the girl's body, it was once again raised, as if it was about to strike down again in the next second.
Perhaps, the next time the sword swung, she would meet her end, and there would be no one to shield her anymore...
Despite having made up her mind to become the Herrscher of Thunder, to save the girl she was willing to join the World Serpent to protect.
The girl who used to love to smile, to play, and to cling to her affectionately —
Kiana Kaslana.
?
Wait, Kiana?
As if suddenly realizing something, Raiden Mei's thoughts stagnated for a moment, her mind went blank, and she looked at the girl lying in a pool of blood on the ground with unbelieving shock, only just realizing —
The person she wanted to protect was critically injured because of protecting her...
As if struck by lightning, her pupils dilated, and a certain string in her heart snapped.
The Thunder Herrscher awakened once again in Nagazora City.
The sky immediately thundered and roared, and within the thick rain clouds, silver snakes danced. Even the boiling Honkai Energy beneath the ground seemed to be attracted, converging towards Raiden Mei's direction. Even the Honkai beasts that had rioted in the city due to the observation experiment quieted down, silently looking in one direction.
It was as if... they were welcoming the arrival of a king. Everything in this city seemed to be celebrating the birth of a Herrscher, celebrating her donning the crown of conquest once again.
Crimson horns sprouted from Raiden Mei's forehead, and a faint purple halo representing the authority of a Herrscher appeared in her lavender eyes.
This marked the complete awakening of the Thunder Herrscher.
There seemed to be electric arcs sizzling in the air as the Herrscher girl sheathed her sword, her gaze icy.
Behind her, the Imaginary Husk, now completely charred in the thunderous light, turned into a pile of ashes.
This time, the Imaginary Husk Corpse couldn't even do sit-ups anymore, after all, even the Chaos Core was destroyed.
After finishing everything, Raiden Mei didn't hesitate for a moment and hurried to check on the still lying "Kiana" on the ground.
"Kiana! Are you okay?" Raiden Mei squatted down, concerned about the girl lying on the ground. She reached out her hand to touch the girl, but what happened next caught her completely off guard.
The "Kiana" in front of her turned into countless golden feathers and disappeared at the moment her hand touched her.
"!!!" Raiden Mei was stunned for a moment, but instantly reacted.
Damn it, it's an illusion, when did this happen?!
She stood up, looking around vigilantly, and at that moment, crisp applause came from not far away.
Clap, clap, clap.
"Raiden Mei, on behalf of the World Serpent, I congratulate you on successfully awakening as the Thunder Herrscher. You finally have the power to protect that girl."
Raiden Mei stared silently at Chase, gripping her katana tightly and aiming it at him, her eyes fierce and clearly dissatisfied.
"What just happened, did you do it?"
"No, it was Otto," Chase said calmly, not flustered at all.
Everything was Otto's fault!
Raiden Mei was also stunned after hearing Chase's explanation, her face showing an expression of "are you kidding me?".
"Don't worry, Raiden Mei, Kiana is fine, you don't need to worry about her," Chase said, deciding to change the subject altogether.
"And now, you should go and do what you need to do."
With that said, Chase pointed to the beam of light behind him and the huge hole it created.
"If you don't go, Kiana might end up doing the job for you."
Raiden Mei fell silent.
She didn't have a choice.
...............
The white-haired girl opened her eyes to see an unexpected person—
Kevin Kaslana.
At this moment, her ancestor was staring at the gray-haired girl beside her. It wasn't that the relationship between the two was particularly bad, but mainly because both of them were not the socializing type.
Previously, Kevin tried to ask some questions about Bella, but the girl remained silent as if she hadn't heard anything. After that, both sides fell into silence, not knowing how to start a conversation.
And now, Kiana woke up.
"Ancestor, what's going on?" Kiana's first words were about the abnormalities in Nagazora City.
"Otto used the Honkai energy of Nagazora City to conduct an observational experiment on the Imaginary Tree, but it seems to be ending now."
Ending? What do you mean?
Kiana tilted her head slightly, thinking about the meaning of Kevin's words, but suddenly felt that something seemed to be missing from her body, scratching her head in confusion.
She felt much lighter, and her condition now felt exceptionally good, there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.
"Heh," Kevin seemed to sense something, "looks like the plan is going smoothly."
After all, as the strongest mantis warrior of the previous civilization, Kevin had a lot of experience with Herrschers and the like. With just a little observation, Kevin felt the familiar aura of the Thunder Herrscher's authority.
And the honkai energy around Nagazora City was also converging towards that direction.
That's right, there was nothing wrong with that. It seemed that Chase did a good job, he should give him a pat on the back when he got back.
Still feeling a bit puzzled by Kevin's words, Kiana felt that everything was a bit vague, trying to rack her brains but finding no answers, she gave up.
Kiana had never missed the external brain of the Chase so much, right now.
"You don't have to worry anymore, the crisis in Nagazora City has been resolved," Kevin said, "she, has taken over the protection of this city for you."
"What are you saying?... Mei?" Kiana almost instantly understood the identity of the "her" mentioned by Kevin, her tone filled with skepticism and disbelief.
Kevin had no intention of explaining to the girl in front of him, he waved his hand.
"Let her come and explain it to you herself, now, she's here."
Kiana's pupils contracted slightly, she suddenly turned her head, and her shocked eyes turned into astonishment in an instant.
