His right hand was already preparing for the next attack. The dark clouds above had been devoid of light for a long time, all of which had accumulated within the thick layer. The outline of a deep purple katana, crackling with lightning, had already emerged in the air, ready to transform into a divine weapon with the slightest touch.
The authority belonging to the Herrscher has been elevated to its limit. The limit of the boiling lightning has even exceeded the maximum energy and color that humans can see and perceive. Even with professional instruments, one can only see the silver dragon and snake winding between heaven and earth, ready to descend at any time.
The knowledge I learned in school was frantically searched for and utilized to the extreme in my brain—the electronic storm surrounding me was the kind that would instantly collapse any structure that had even the slightest connection to civilization, tearing apart all technological existence. Any seemingly high-end and advanced information connection, a solid, indestructible, and seemingly perfect system would be instantly crushed into dust.
And this is merely the most basic manifestation of coordinating the power to transform into a form that seems to be able to become a complete entity—if all energy carrying Honkai energy, or energy based on Honkai energy, is regarded as purple, then the purple of Changkong City is now so vast that it covers the sky.
Natural phenomena and natural disasters beyond human control are manipulated by authority and Honkai energy, creating the greatest despair, akin to a divine miracle.
In the extreme anger that gave rise to extreme calmness, extreme emotions and dual personality were coordinated to the extreme.
Raiden Mei uses this to weave an absolute revenge—to avenge Jiang Cheng's injury against those high-ranking behind-the-scenes manipulators.
This has led to extreme measures of fleeing; as soon as the situation is deemed unfavorable, they will immediately take Jiang Cheng with them and leave to make further plans.
Everything is for survival, for Jiangcheng to survive.
Secondly, there is revenge.
Even the edges of the skirt extend outwards, connecting to form several mysterious patterns. With a mere thought, these patterns can connect to the new skirt, just like the angelic wings that now extend outwards from the back.
He was so cautious that it was comparable to Diavolo's careful probing of Polnareff's Stand abilities when facing him.
Raiden Mei had prepared everything she could, waiting for the guy in front of her to take the hit.
"Crack——!"
"Crack crack crack—!!"
The pinnacle of human ingenuity couldn't even last a second; it was melted into molten iron the instant it came into contact with the metal.
If Raiden Mei hadn't been watching closely and temporarily canceled these attacks, there's no doubt that the petite Bronya would have been easily killed by that one blow.
At least in the girl's pupils, one could clearly see that the enemy, who was estimated to be many times stronger than the elite monster, Yae-san, was drifting in the air like a leaf—being hit by the lowest and most ordinary attack and sent flying, finally crashing to the ground in a sorry state, with even the exposed skin that seemed to invite being hit showing a red blush.
what……
……
……
PS: If I get 200 recommendation votes, I'll write more in the next chapter.
Mei's combat power has now been pushed to its limit, fueled by absolute anger and the accumulated torment from all the past suffering, especially the fact that Jiang Cheng, the only one who was severely injured in front of her, wanted to save her, even as an equal.
What follows is sure to be a very exciting battle. Raiden Mei will fight with all her might to gain her freedom from the mastermind who dared to create monsters and who has dominated her miserable life.
This must be incredibly difficult; it's extremely challenging for fish inside a tank to compete with people outside.
—It's over in seconds.
Chapter 33 What makes you think you can stand in front of me?!
???
Isn't this right?
Is this the enemy?
Is this the enemy who forced me to flee in such a sorry state and caused Jiangcheng to suffer such severe damage?
Is this the enemy that forced me to be on high alert, even having to temporarily suppress my anger, and to focus all my energy on triggering the Great Collapse and absorbing Honkai energy?
"What are you doing?! Use whatever moves you have, and summon as many soldiers as you've prepared!"
"Didn't you control the entire city? Didn't you intentionally create a monster like me?"
"Let me see what you've prepared to create this monster, that makes me unable to tolerate even the existence of a single person around me, that you even want to kill Jiang Cheng, the only one who would help me!!"
The girl's deep purple pupils were almost bulging out of their sockets. "So you're trying to capture me with this kind of power... with this kind of thing?!"
Is this how Jiangcheng fell victim to such an attack?
Is it because of this ridiculous way that you got hurt?
me……
Was it because I failed to protect him during this attack?
The original group of thugs were like that, and this piece of trash who can't even withstand a single move from me is the same!
Witnessing the enemy, whom the boy called the ultimate weapon to hunt him, breathing weakly on the edge of the city, in the place where she had lived since childhood, causing a great collapse, Raiden Mei's rationality was almost melted away in an instant, her eyes bloodshot and almost insane.
"—You're being too funny!"
……
……
Unable to accept that the enemy they had anticipated was so ridiculous, even the Herrscher's personality could not tolerate it. They worked together to fight their greatest enemy, and they risked their lives to save Jiang Cheng's life while fighting, only to encounter such a small monster.
Because this means that everything Raiden Mei had just done was a joke, and that choosing to evolve into a fully-fledged Herrscher in her own city at the cost of killing everyone was a joke.
Jiang Cheng was willing to get hurt to protect her. Despite being the one with greater power, she was protected by someone who had always claimed to be a support role. The fighting spirit that was fueled by this guilt was dashed, replaced by an endless boiling anger, an anger that seemed ready to explode if she didn't vent it with her fists.
There was no combat process whatsoever, not even any fancy energy blasts or special effects.
The girl simply arrived at Bronya's side at lightning speed and delivered the attack.
Even this strike didn't carry much power; to avoid damaging her too quickly, it deliberately chose a relatively soft spot—the lightning-streaked fist slammed into Bronya's slender abdomen, forcefully inserting its protruding knuckles into her soft body.
Along with the already spreading, eroding pain, it was unleashed, making the pain, which was previously barely manageable and tolerable, completely unbearable.
The lightning precisely stimulated every nerve ending, breaking through the girl's numb body and sending the corrosive force of collapse into every aspect of her being.
The attack, carrying a small amount of aggression and a large amount of Honkai energy, caused her body to curl up with a weak scream, her back pressed tightly against the heavy-armored bunny floating behind her, making a loud bang.
But this was not the end. Raiden Mei grabbed Bronya's long hair with her other hand, and the fist that was still embedded in her lower abdomen swung out with all its might, but it was definitely not fatal. It slammed heavily into the girl's stomach, causing Bronya to squeeze out another "gag" moan from her throat.
The thunder that was originally planned to engulf the entire street and evaporate the surrounding high-rise buildings was canceled. Instead, lightning coiled around her fingertips. Her hand, which was about to give a command like a queen, turned into a clenched fist. She grabbed her hair and pressed her face hard against her knee.
Beaten.
Pure beating.
The girl was simply venting her resentment, venting her anger at witnessing Jiang Cheng get injured in front of her, and venting her anger at the evil forces that wouldn't give her even an inch of hope, not even a moment to breathe, that wanted to kill everyone who got close to her, and that were powerless to do anything about it.
How could you be so useless and incompetent? Why do you still bother me? Why do you still want to ruin my life?
Is it simply so that I can beat you up as hard as I am now, and even worry that I'll beat you to death?
The battle against the Herrscher resembled a one-sided beating.
The fight itself was ridiculous, resembling a street brawl.
There were no special effects, no advanced technology, and it wasn't even as thrilling as Jiang Cheng's long-range sniping and knife-blocking incident.
But this is indeed a battle between the Herrscher of Thunder and human warriors, and every punch is a manifestation of the power of thunder.
Although this authority was hardly used for any attack, and was even used to maintain the other party's life so that this one-sided abuse would not end in a very short time—before the girl had even calmed down.
……
……
"How weak you are." Raiden Mei roughly grabbed her head—the girl's originally beautiful and delicate features were now twisted in pain, and traces of saliva still hung from the corners of her mouth.
"What's wrong with you? Why would you try to create something you can't control at all?"
"Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the guts! Where did you get the audacity to do this?"
"It's you? It's still you!"
The girl, who was hunched over like a shrimp and almost entirely supported by her hair being forcibly pulled up, couldn't even lift her head.
Mei's response was a resounding slap. The unexpected, heavy blow sent the girl's head swung to the left, leaving a vivid, humiliating red handprint clearly visible on her cheek. Before she could even recover from the ringing in her ears, Mei clenched her fist again and slammed it into the girl's stomach once more.
"Ugh—!" Pain forced out a series of muffled moans from her throat, and her arched back trembled incessantly.
"Can't you speak?"
Raiden Mei showed not a shred of mercy.
The tightly clenched fist would never loosen its grip, no matter how disheveled the enemy before it appeared.
"Pfft—!?"
The previous heavy blow had left the frail girl's head buzzing, but this attack from the third blow turned her vision into a flashing blank, leaving only her body falling naturally. When she came to her senses, Bronya found herself kneeling on the ground, her upper body curled up in despair, protecting her soft abdomen, her pitiful posture like a lame deer facing a lion.
From ear tips to toes, everything that made up her body convulsed and trembled violently under the violence of the other party—
This is not good.
It's not just bad, it's absolutely terrible.
Before her brain could even process it, Bronya's body had already chosen to submit.
Even mercenaries who achieve fame at a young age are still human at heart. Losing emotional senses and becoming insensitive does not mean they have no senses at all or have lost their instincts.
Looking at the girl in front of him, curled up as if she had been doused with a bucket of water in the toilet.
Mei disgustedly raised her foot, encased in a stocking, and stomped heavily on her head.
"Squeak-"
The face of a beautiful girl, delicate as a porcelain doll, was being brutally crushed on the dirty ground. The sound was the scraping of almost broken bones against the ground. This tragic and pitiful scene, which would make anyone who saw it want to stop it, was being performed by Mei in the most cruel way without hesitation.
To some extent, it imitated the way Jiang Cheng used to torture others, which he had seen at school.
He used Bronya to vent all his dissatisfaction, anger, and resentment.
Only at this moment, when he stomped the girl under his feet and vented some of his resentment, did Jiu Jiu Ba Raiden Mei have the leisure to look around.
……
Chapter 34 Mei: Just a Small Warning
All the lightning within its range radiated outwards, forming an electromagnetic field. While avoiding being ambushed, it also used its simple eyes to search its surroundings. Just as it turned its head, it saw another blonde woman on the virtual screen next to it, which was displayed in real time like something out of a science fiction novel.
Having the same hairstyle as the silver-haired girl, the same Roman curls, she was staring at him with a face full of anger.
At least, stepping on the girl's lightning, Mei could barely recall that when she saw this guy before, his hair did indeed look like a spiral drill.
"Are you the mastermind behind this, Cocolia?"
The girl stomped her foot even harder.
Cocolia slammed her fist on the table, her furious expression clearly visible even through the virtual screen. "Let Bronya go, you damned Herrscher!"
"My mechs and my army will be here soon. Surrender now and you won't have to suffer so much."
"what……"
The girl almost burst out laughing when she heard that this was less than one ten-thousandth of the cruelty in Jiangcheng.
Having witnessed firsthand the massacre that the boy carried out to vent his anger and free himself from his old constraints, the girl had long since become desensitized to cruelty.
Perhaps back then, I only suppressed the urge to vomit because I didn't want to refuse other people's kindness, but after witnessing a thousand killings, I had long since become indifferent to it.
"If there really is an army, then let him come."
“Ah…no need.” The girl looked down coldly. “I can already sense something trying to enter the magnetic field I set up.”
"Are those neckless, giant-armed mechs your creations?"
"It has absolutely no aesthetic appeal; it's not as good as Jiangcheng."
"Eh……"
Cocolia's expression became incredibly interesting in an instant.
With an indifferent expression, Raiden Mei waved her hand again. In an instant, the turbulent, misty thunderclouds covered the sky above. A sudden downpour, like a waterfall carrying towering waves, crashed down from the heavens, striking down the challenger who attempted to violate the queen's dignity, along with the thunderous roar in the sky.
If a satellite were to be watching this remote island nation's most dazzling city right now, it could capture this most breathtaking scene.
The world is shrouded in darkness.
The sky, which was originally shrouded in white clouds and served as a protective layer for all of humanity and even the entire world, shielding the planet from radiation, was divided into an insurmountable black zone centered on that city.
It's like putting a circle of pure ink on a blank sheet of paper, a blank sheet of paper on which other things have been drawn but are still visible.
The coal-like black spots expanded wildly outwards countless times in the blink of an eye, their edges enveloped in a deep purple light.
Is that purple?
Is that blue?
Is that red?
