And she...
—Just looking at that gentle smile is annoying.
……
……
……
Yae Sakura froze on the spot. Despite being a gentle and aloof shrine maiden, she was now just staring blankly at the girl who had stepped in. As she turned her head, her flowing hair fell down again, and her lake-like eyes were lifeless, like a river whose flow had been cut off, reflecting only a undisturbed image in the water.
The word "strong" kept swirling in my mind—two consecutive candid statements were enough to etch those words into my heart.
Can't forget.
It cannot be ignored.
Everything proved that the girl in front of them had indeed done something so outrageous.
In the stagnant mind, countless grievances pile up exponentially, including complaints, anger, and chaotic emotions—even if they cannot be dealt with, even if one's thoughts are now interrupted as if someone had hit the back of the head hard with a baseball bat, they inevitably arise.
Do not……
They didn't do anything excessive.
They did something excessive that they had done in the past.
Mistelin was neither the originator nor the first person to do it, and if you want to hate someone, you should hate the person who was the first to do it as well.
--I.
I am the first person to do such a thing.
I am the first person to overpower the God.
I'm the one who did this, the first person to do this, and I hate others... Isn't that a bit too ridiculous?
This fact caused the girl so much pain that her whole body convulsed. Her stomach twisted as if she had been punched hard. Her hands, which had been preparing for the celebration, involuntarily drooped and moved little by little to her soft lower abdomen. Her slender fingertips pinched her abdominal flesh through the fabric of her shrine maiden outfit.
The essence of self-harm is that under extreme inner pain, in order to alleviate this pain, one diverts attention and causes new harm in other places. Because the pain that humans can feel is limited, if another place is too painful, then the original painful place will seem less painful. Unlike the inner pain that can collapse without limit, physical pain will trigger a rebound from the bottom, and it also has an upper limit. It will not increase or accumulate indefinitely.
No matter how powerful or magnificent a being may be, as long as it possesses a human heart, it is essentially a fragile thing, like glass. If you find its weak point, a gentle touch will cause the entire soul to crumble.
Even things that seem hard are like this, let alone cherry blossoms, which are inherently fragile and easily broken.
……
She gazed at Mistelin, whose smile remained as soft and fluffy as cotton candy, who showed no shame or remorse, and whose eyes were so clear and pure.
Despite coming to the wife as a mistress, she brazenly pushed open the door, walked in step by step, and stood openly before herself and Mei—
"It seems you're really unhappy. Well then... let's make a deal, have a competition. If I win, I'll continue to stay by your side in my own way. If you win, I'll follow your wishes, just like Miss Yae Sakura."
……
……
……
This was a softening tactic—as could be seen from the girl's expression; it was a step back, a sign of her yielding.
Mistelin genuinely believed that she had already shown great tolerance and had already made a compromise.
Ahhh...
My teeth are about to be crushed.
It has already made a creaking sound.
His clenched fist trembled so much that even his knuckles shook, and lightning flowed out uncontrollably, flashing with dazzling sparks.
"Why..."
What makes you think you should back down?
What makes you think you're being tolerant just because you took a small step back after pushing your luck?
She was so angry that she could barely speak. Even her composure as a young lady was about to crumble, and she felt an urge to curse and act rudely.
“I am clearly Cheng Jun’s true lover.”
Just how arrogant do you want to be?!
"You rapist who doesn't even deserve to be called a mistress, do you really believe I won't kill you?!"
……
Darling—just hearing those few words makes it impossible to suppress the urge to attack.
It was simply unbearable to begin with.
Something that is completely unacceptable.
The first instance of tolerance was merely a forced act, due to the boy's determination and Miss Yae Sakura's timely concession.
Even so, this is already the limit, and it is impossible to accept any more outrageous behavior.
The idea of love being split in two is already the limit of what a young girl can endure. But for a boy to be forced into a relationship, to be raped, to be violated by someone else—even one such experience is enough to make her so angry she can't sleep at night. The extent to which Jiang Cheng was pinned down and repeatedly exploited...
At this moment, right now.
Raging lightning was already flashing around them, and the winding, highly concentrated energy body skipped over the conventional purple color and went straight to the crimson level.
Even the smell of burning was gone; it was as if the smell had been burned away. The burning pain was so intense that even looking at it gave the illusion that one was about to go blind.
The mere overflow of power, the manifestation of authority, instantly connected the vast area spanning tens of thousands of kilometers with the supreme power of the Herrscher of Thunder. Dark clouds shrouded and gathered in an unscientific manner, forming faint, winding, silvery-white dragons. In an instant, everyone was utterly astonished.
Countless people looked up at the same time. Those who were in their rooms opened the windows and peered out at the dark, heavy clouds and howling thunder. Those who didn't understand were worried about the impending natural disaster and the rapidly approaching thunderstorm. Those who did understand were on tenterhooks. The prospect of an impending, even imperial-level, disaster was enough to terrify them, making their legs weak and leaving them too afraid to take refuge in the prepared defensive structures and underground warehouses.
Even those inside the floating island instantly raised their alert level to the highest level. Theresa, who was still feeling dejected and self-reflecting, sensed the danger and stepped out of the room with Judas in her arms.
As the world's overt ruler, their every move can easily change the fate of the entire world, and their headquarters is so terrifying that even a sweeper's position is more prestigious than that of the mayor.
Now, this floating island standing in the sky has fallen into turmoil just because of a girl's slight emotional leak. Every department from top to bottom is on high alert. Departments that were slightly delayed due to the bishop's ceremony have no room to relax. From the department head to the lowest-level employee, everyone has started working overtime to investigate.
……
Chapter 151 Mistelin: I am the one who loves Jiangcheng the most.
The existence of a Herrscher is as terrifying as Qi Ling (5) Liu Qi Qi Qun^.
Even if it's just a display of power, the bare minimum.
Even without triggering Honkai energy or using authority, simply standing here to demonstrate one's existence is enough to cause a terrifying natural disaster that could easily cover a nation. The extreme condensation of quality and quantity has even transformed the original natural phenomena into an unbelievable state, with the crimson lightning capable of tearing everything apart.
This terrifying anomaly was merely a small manifestation of the energy overflowing from the girl's body after it spilled out of the room.
Her hair was jet black, almost purple, and the smooth strands of hair that fell naturally were tied with a dark blue ribbon that flashed with faint lightning.
Her deep purple pupils, framed by dark eyelashes, resembled the vastness of a galaxy, the thunderous roar of the heavens, and a blush of cherry blossoms rose above her milky-white skin—
—That furious declaration.
"You can notify Gray Serpent now."
Extreme red light converged into scarlet eyes, and the power that flashed the moment they opened was enough to shatter the heart.
The extremely violent colors, however, possessed an extreme coldness and restraint.
“Let him carry you back, or perhaps he could piece you back together from the pieces…piece you back together from the wreckage.”
Raiden Mei, unleashing her power once again, gazed down at Mistelin like an empress looking down on all living beings, her condescending gaze as if looking at tiny insects.
The slender, soft fingertips that were gently raised emitted a wave of energy powerful enough to terrify any living being, and thunder, condensed to its extreme, flickered irregularly.
Even a mere touch or a brush is enough to instantly vaporize seemingly indestructible steel, or seemingly eternally magnificent boulders and mountains. The moment one witnesses it, it is enough to make any living being instinctively flee, and one can sense an absolutely incomparable power from the depths of one's soul.
Even so—the girl remained fearless.
Silver-purple eyes gazed at the shimmering scarlet pupils.
"I'm sorry, you don't have much of a choice, because it's absolutely impossible for me to leave my dear's side. No matter how much you pressure me, it won't work, unless you need to pressure my dear."
"And I'm already by his side. Even if I had to force him in my own rude way, I could be by his side like you are."
Mistelin's smile remained as gentle as ever, yet at this moment she slightly raised her head—
"But I don't think you would do that."
"—Miss Mei."
……
……吆伊奇4 死久
……
The surging thunder vanished instantly, like waves crashing in the deep sea disappearing without a trace—in a completely unscientific and incomprehensible way, the thunderstorm that seemed to connect with the sky and shroud the surrounding thousands of kilometers in dark clouds appeared as if it had never existed. When the panicked people looked up again, they could only see a clear, cloudless blue sky.
Theresa, carrying Judah, looked around. Himeko also raised the greatsword she carried. The department responsible for monitoring the global response to the crisis in the first moment also stared in astonishment at the Honkai energy reaction that subsided in an instant, as if the gods had played a joke on them.
The largest organization that governs the entire world trembled and launched a massive search, all because of Mistelin's question—"Do you intend to use this method to forcibly oppress my dear Jiangcheng?"
"why not."
The thunder, though subsided, still flickered.
The blinding red light stared at the girl with boundless rage.
The roaring emotions did not diminish in the slightest, nor did they gain any strength; they merely solidified to an even greater degree, like lightning that was ready to strike at any moment but no longer needed to flicker.
Rather, after hearing the girl in front of her admit that she had used a brutal and coercive method to get Jiang Cheng to agree—Raiden Mei's smile had become chillingly cold.
“I will ask Jiang Cheng about this myself, but before that, why do you think I will go easy on you?”
"I'm giving you time to find the gray snake to save you, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to climb out of the room... Hehe."
“You can’t beat me.” Mistelin’s voice remained gentle, her brows slightly lowered.
"The only result of the two of us fighting here is to shoot down our beloved property, the floating island."
"Miss Sakura isn't qualified to lay a hand on me either."
"In the end, I was just imitating her."
……
……
……
silence.
There is only silence.
Even though she had been directly called out, the girl who once dared to draw her sword against the Herrscher of Corruption now simply lowered her head, her fingertips digging into her flat and slender abdomen, as if she were clutching her stomach in pain, and it was also as if she was engaging in a form of miniature self-harm.
Beneath those bangs, like cherry blossoms blooming and billowing in the warm spring breeze, were eyes hidden in shadow; and that gentle face, which others could not look directly at, now showed not a trace of expression.
What are they thinking?
What are you thinking about now?
Such things are completely irrelevant—neither of the two girls would care about this nowadays.
"I promised my dear that I would resolve the issue as best I could, which is why I'm talking to you here."
"You're quite proud of yourself..."
A magnificent weapon crackling with lightning appeared at his fingertips, and the shimmering energy that continuously spread and struck the surroundings scorched the air at all times.
Raiden Mei already held the Seven Thunders of Purification in her hand, and the energy flowing instantly was driven to its ultimate level, with lightning flowing through the patterns on its body.
The girl, who was fully prepared for battle, spoke with no attempt to conceal her sarcasm and mockery.
"Are you going to tell me next that Jiang Cheng became like this entirely because of me?"
"It was your incompetence that created the loopholes in his defenses."
"Isn't it?"
Her slender fingertips gently pressed against her chest, suppressing the soft curves of her skin. The girl seemed completely oblivious to the intense sarcasm in his words, continuing to stare intently into those eyes that had reached their limit of restraint.
"My dear doesn't like to communicate with others, but he has to. He's forced to do things he doesn't like or isn't good at. That's why he can't refuse my actions, and that's why I found his weakness. So what exactly makes someone who doesn't like to communicate feel obligated to communicate with others?"
what……
How did she know about this?
