After watching the video, Gretchen seemed lost in thought, her paintbrush itching to paint, and she muttered some words to herself.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Third Collapse

Alicia, whose weight had been reduced by Mebius's attack, sought comfort from the cute and adorable little Gretsch, and thus approached her.

"Little Gretchen? What are you drawing?"

Then, Alicia heard Gresh mutter something:

"Thunder mouse... fox spirit..." The words that had just come out of Mebius's mouth were all repeated by Gretchen.

"Dr. Möbius, you really need to reflect on your actions to have the adorable, clueless Gretsch utter such an rude adjective~"

Alicia and Mebius were hurting each other when they saw the fat pink fox on Gretchen's easel.

Gretchen's paintbrush pointed at the chubby pink fox, then looked at Alicia:

"Sister Alicia"

"...?"

Alicia's smile froze on her face, then she saw Gretchen's drawing board.

In this short period of time, a lightning white mouse and a pink fat fox that kept bothering the lightning white mouse appeared on Gretchen's drawing board!

Alicia's eyes twitched slightly.

Although she did get a little closer to Mei in the picture, how did she become a vixen?

All I did was play with Mei a little while her friend Kiana wasn't around!

Alicia wasn't acting out of any ulterior motive; she was simply incredibly curious about Mei!

Because the appearance of Mei, who has self-awareness and controls the power of the Herrscher, means that her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled!

Seeing a sight she could never have otherwise witnessed, how could Alicia not be happy and excited!

How could she not try to reach out to Mei?

Moreover, Mei has suffered such a pitiful misfortune in the past, and Alicia, who deeply loves humans, should take good care of Mei!

If you ask Alicia, she would love both Kiana and Mei equally, regardless of who she meets!

After all, they were both humans whom Alicia deeply loved, especially since one was a pitiful and unfortunate girl, and the other was a kind girl with the courage to help others.

Alicia doesn't mean she wants to steal Kiana or Mei from her; she loves every hero present equally and deeply!

However, Alicia had already said these mushy things to everyone before, so she felt that she didn't need to express her love for everyone again.

Therefore, Alicia did not specifically clarify herself or rush to prove her innocence.

"Sigh, look what Dr. Mebius has corrupted our little Greta."

"You fat woman, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Mebius glared at Alicia, who then pouted and snuggled up to Eden, seeking comfort and affection.

"Waaaaah~ My dear Eden, I've been bullied by everyone~"

"Although my metabolism is completely messed up, I can't gain weight no matter how much I eat, I still have a beautiful figure without exercising, and my skin gets better every day despite my terrible sleep schedule."

"But I'm human too, my heart can feel pain too."

Eden, who had been silently watching everything, patted Alicia's head, signaling her to be good.

However, after hearing Alicia's seemingly self-reproachful but actually self-praising words, Eden also showed a helpless expression.

However, Eden was used to Alicia's cheeky attitude, so he just mumbled "uh-huh" to appease her.

"By the way, everyone should cherish their health and not end up like me!"

…………

As viewers in various locations went wild upon seeing this "Kiana Against Entropy," the screen then switched to the next video.

The question everyone was eager to know – whether Alicia actually touched Mei's horn – did not appear on the screen.

However, most people already have the answer in their hearts.

After all, Mei, being so honest, was clearly no match for Alicia, so it was only a foregone conclusion that Alicia would succeed.

What is being shown on the screen now is the story before Mei and Alicia met.

The scene on the light screen rewound to a time before Mei had mastered the power of the Herrscher.

We returned to the day when Mei first unleashed the power of the Herrscher.

The story of Mei and Kiana that everyone had witnessed was not yet over.

If Kiana and Mei's first reunion was due to Kiana helping Mei escape school bullying, which made them friends, then the real turning point that made them life-or-death friends was...

It was several years ago that the Third Collapse occurred in Changkong City.

Following the story of Kiana and Mei's first meeting, the content displayed on the screen then moved on to the terrifying Third Collapse, which left Changkong City still recovering and relegated to a ghost town...

The cause of the Third Honkai Impact... was Mei.

Under everyone's gaze, the two things Mei didn't want to be mentioned were replayed once again.

………………

As Kiana and Mei enjoyed their "pleasant" school life at Chiba Academy, dealing with malicious students while doing what best friends should do, another unexpected event occurred.

Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on Mei, this unfortunate girl, as a horrifying collapse befell her.

Mei's long-awaited ordinary school life, though accompanied by some unusual fighting and killing, was at least relatively peaceful.

However, on that day, with the arrival of the collapse, everything she enjoyed was once again taken away.

It wasn't until that moment that Mei realized that she possessed the core of the Herrscher, a synonym for "Honkai."

When the Conqueror's Gem lit up in response to the call of Honkai, Mei finally understood what would happen to her, with the Herrscher Core—

As a massive amount of Honkai energy surged into her body, Mei, still a young girl, had no experience in dealing with it and was instantly swallowed up. Her consciousness was overwhelmed by the immense pain, and she lost control of her body.

Thus, the "Herrscher of Thunder" lurking within the Gem of Conquest awakened.

In that instant, an unimaginable disaster struck Changkong City and Qianyu Academy!

In an instant, countless students perished due to the sudden burst of Honkai energy, disintegrating under its erosion without even a chance to struggle!

Even the students who were lucky enough to survive were corrupted by Honkai energy and turned into killing machines who only knew how to kill, and began to indiscriminately attack the surviving students around them!

The academy, instantly thrown into chaos, became a scene of utter panic, filled with countless screams and wails, not to mention the terrifying Honkai Beasts lurking in the shadows.

The entire city of Changkong was engulfed in this sudden disaster, with countless lives being lost every moment!

The source of all this...

Although she can't be called Mei, she has been chosen as a Herrscher because of her conquest of the gems.

In the subsequent Changkong City, Mei was the source of the third continuous collapse.

As long as she, as a Herrscher, remains uncontrolled, this disaster sweeping through Changkong City will not end...

At the heart of the dark clouds that shrouded Changkong City, the Herrscher, clad in lightning, controlled Mei's body and let out a despairing, maniacal laugh!

…………

When everyone saw this scene, their feelings about Mei's cool demeanor in controlling the Herrscher power earlier became more complicated.

The cool and powerful Thunder Queen is certainly cool, but what kind of bloodshed and unbearable past lies behind her?

When the entire Changkong City is plunged into darkness because of her power, can Mei really face this power head-on?

What Walter Yang felt sorry for Mei about earlier, and what he was most worried about for her, was this.

The original Mr. Walter was discovered in the ruins of the city.

The entire city was destroyed by the Honkai, and the only survivor was the original Welt.

That is, the original, the Law Maker of Reason.

When the life of a city rests on Walter's shoulders, it's unimaginable what terrifying pressure and gloom that must have been.

Walter Young, as the successor, did not personally experience that kind of pain, but the weight of life is indescribable.

Mei, on the other hand, personally experienced the pain of the weight of life.

This is extremely unfair to a girl who has just experienced a family tragedy and school bullying and is finally getting a little bit of sunshine.

She is just a young girl in the prime of her life and should not have to bear such a heavy burden.

Chapter Thirty Close Friends

Himeko, standing nearby, also showed a look of pity, wishing she could rush to Mei, who was being controlled by the Herrscher, wake her up, and give her a hug.

How could Mei be so unlucky? She finally found a friendship, and now a sudden natural disaster has turned her into a murderer...

Even the silly March Seven lost her sense of humor at this moment, looking at Mei on the screen with sadness.

……

Huang Quan felt a mix of emotions when she saw the girl who resembled her become the center of the storm.

She had previously muttered that Mei, who had been toyed with by Alicia, was too useless; despite possessing the powerful strength of a Herrscher, she was still fooled.

Now, seeing the nightmare that Mei faced back then, Yomi understands what she was carrying.

That strength is not a source of confidence or pride, nor is it something to be proud of.

That was the source of the disaster that plunged the entire city into despair; how could Mei possibly stand tall because of that power?
