Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

However, Fu Hua was certain that the captain had not been rescued.

Even though the memories that Fu Hua deliberately sealed and burned away with her Feather Dust miraculously revived, they remained blurry and unclear.

Fu Hua only vaguely remembered that Captain Himiko had struggled for a while before losing control, but ultimately...

If she had been strong enough back then, would the ending have been different?

Fu Hua initially thought so, but after seeing how Kiana and Himeko, who were just students, were able to save Mei by working together, she became somewhat confused.

…………

At Schicksal's headquarters, Otto repeatedly watched the images on the screen, extracting the key information that Mei, the chosen Herrscher of Thunder, was so weak that she could even defeat an ordinary girl and an A-rank Valkyrie.

"Emotions...the power of emotions..."

When Mei entered St. Freya Academy, Himeko's report only contained what she had written, and Otto had no way of knowing the specific details.

Now that he had detailed images, Otto studied them carefully and discovered that it was indeed those two key words:

emotion.

Just like the original Welt Joyce, his powers were restored while his human consciousness was preserved due to the sacrifice of his loved ones.

Although Walter Joyce ultimately did not choose destiny but rejected his plan, which even led to a large number of scientists leaving to establish Anti-Entropy, Otto felt very regretful...

But without a doubt, when Kiana and Himeko rescued Mei, they relied on those two crucial words:

emotion.

Even those who are synonymous with destruction, chosen by natural disasters, will suppress their emotions when faced with something as precious as human feelings.

This is why Mei, as a former chosen Herrscher, is still alive and well, studying and training at St. Freya Academy, and even becoming a Valkyrie fighting against the Honkai.

Perhaps, when Mei later gained control of the Herrscher of Thunder's power, it was also because of the key word "emotion".

In this respect, Otto's original plan was not wrong.

His initial plan was to work on Kiana, but something seemed to have gone wrong, causing Kiana to escape Schicksal and head towards Anti-Entropy.

Otto hasn't yet figured out where the flaws in Kiana's plan lie, so he's considering whether to simply shift the core of the plan to Mei.

No, compared to Mei, who is the Herrscher of Thunder, Kiana is a more special being.

For Otto, the most important thing was that the experiments on Kiana were successful and that he could control her.

Whether Mei's Herrscher power can be controlled is actually a question for Otto...

it is not important.

Although being able to control the Herrscher's power would be fantastic news in the fight against the Honkai, Otto still harbored only one wish—

Karen's resurrection.

A mere Herrscher of Thunder wouldn't be of much use to Otto.

Now, Otto can only watch helplessly as his plan, which seems to have some kind of flaw, falls apart.

Rita and Durandal, who were watching from the sidelines, didn't need to pay much attention; they just needed to leisurely wait for orders.

When Durandal saw Mei become a Herrscher in the scene, all she could say was, thank goodness it wasn't her who was there.

Himeko Murata, the soon-to-retire A-rank Valkyrie, is considered by Durandal to be...

She respected every senior, but Durandal simply couldn't be humble about their abilities.

Even Himeko and Kiana, who doesn't yet have much fighting ability, were able to subdue Mei.

Based on Mei's strength as she saw it, she probably could have easily defeated her with a single punch...

"..."

Durandal is hard to say, but she feels she probably won't live to see such a touching friendship between Mei and Kiana.

After all, Durandal would be a little more serious the first time she actually met a Herrscher, just to be on the safe side.

Just by being a little more serious, Durandal felt that Mei might have to say goodbye forever.

Durandal couldn't help but wonder if all Herrschers' power was this level, or if it was just because Mei's awakening time was too short, plus Kiana, her friend, was influencing her.

Rita's focus is completely different from Durandal's.

As a girl with the same cunning as Alicia, Rita, after witnessing Kiana and Mei's sincere and deep friendship, knew that the two of them would definitely become best friends.

After all, that's how her relationship with Durandal was; after going through countless life-and-death experiences together, they had become inseparable best friends.

But what Rita was really looking forward to was...

"Alicia, did you manage to touch Mei's horn?"

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

I'm itching to write more, so I'm offering a bounty.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Resurrect, Alicia!

Now that she knows Kiana and Mei are close friends, Rita is even more concerned about the aftermath of the previous incident, "Kiana in Anti-Entropy."

Kiana's best friend Mei was being played with, teased, and intimately treated in front of Alicia. Did Kiana know all this?

Regardless of whether Kiana knows about the timeline depicted in the scene...

However, Kiana, who is next to Mei, definitely already knows.

Rita is really looking forward to seeing how her two best friends will react when they learn about "Alicia," the "bad" woman who will be toying with Mei in the future.

While deep in thought, Durandal suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but look at Rita, only to find that the girl was wearing a "pleasant" expression, like a naughty woman who had thought of something interesting.

…………

Seeing his daughter possess such courage and responsibility in rescuing an unfortunate girl filled Siegfried with pride.

Whether it was Kiana fighting against others for Mei's sake, or fearlessly wielding a baseball bat to pursue Mei after she became a Herrscher, Siegfried felt that raising this daughter was worthwhile!

Siegfried, the father, was carefree and proud, while Cecilia, the mother, who was more delicate and considerate, felt a pang of worry.

"How did you teach Kiana? She went straight for the Herrscher without any training!"

Although Cecilia muttered about Siegfried, she actually knew—

Often, it's not a matter of whether you have battlefield experience or not.

Often it wasn't a matter of whether they wanted to stand there or not, but rather that to protect their loved ones and rescue their dearest friends, they had to embark on this arduous journey.

Despite being very worried about Kiana and determined to give the idiot a good talking-to, Cecilia was also prepared to praise Kiana.

Her daughter is doing a really great job.

Cecilia also wanted Kiana to bring Mei back so they could meet her properly.

Cecilia felt that the girl was too pitiful and shouldn't have to bear so much alone.

Having experienced the Second Honkai Impact, they know how painful it is to be chosen as a Herrscher.

Especially after their fabricated family relationship with Celine, they felt even more sorry for these children and wanted to protect them even more.

Mei's father hasn't come out yet, and Cecilia would be willing to let Mei live in their family if possible.

The reason is quite simple. After all, she was the strongest S-class Valkyrie in the past. Isn't it tempting enough for Mei to agree to be taught by her personally?

No, it can't be called seduction; that sounds more like some strange action movie about a "mother in her thirties."

It should be said that it was persuasion.

…………

Inside the Golden Courtyard, Alicia was extremely satisfied with the scene she saw.

"See? I told you that human growth is truly moving."

Alicia looked at everyone with a smile. Everyone had witnessed Mei's growth, and their previous disappointment with Mei's suicidal behavior had lessened considerably.

As Alicia said, not everyone is born perfect.

There are no born strong people, only indomitable people who grow stronger through constant trials.

As senior figures, they were indeed a bit arrogant and overly demanding.

They are now eagerly anticipating what Mei will experience and how she will ultimately become the one who controls the power of the Herrscher.

"That's wonderful, Mei..."

Kevin relaxed his clenched fist and breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl who looked exactly like Dr. Mei also shared Dr. Mei's unwavering determination.

Although Mei wasn't strong enough at first, people grow. As she experiences more and more hardships, Mei will eventually grow into a respectable person.

Because Mei looks almost exactly like Dr. Mei, Kevin doesn't want Mei to be a weak person, and he is very happy that she has grown up like this.

It feels like seeing Mei, who once held an undying hope in the fight against the Honkai.

……

Aponia knew all along that Mei wouldn't die, but witnessing Mei's growth was something she couldn't see in the fate she had foreseen.

Is this how Mei gradually grew into the being that destroyed this golden garden?

Aponia felt conflicted, both happy for the growth of her juniors and silent about their future with the Golden Garden.

……

Having witnessed Mei's transformation from facing death to making a firm decision, Möbius became even more interested in this electric white mouse.

"Since it can grow, that means I can gradually increase the intensity when I experiment on it, right?"
