My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Raiden Mei, who was next to Kiana, was extremely anxious when she saw what was happening and didn't know what to do.

She instinctively used the spatula in her hand to swat at the bullets fired by the raven.

Raven's weapon is certainly not an ordinary firearm on the market; its performance is superior to Kiana's firearm.

If Raven were to switch to a sniper rifle, which she is relatively more proficient with, using that weapon she doesn't use easily, Raven is confident that she could go toe-to-toe with Theresa, whose wisdom is unparalleled.

Gray Snake, who was present at the scene, was somewhat helpless. What use was the rice paddle at this moment? Mei, where's your katana?

Okay, I'll add some special effects for you.

The moment the idea formed, the gray snake acted immediately. Black rings appeared in Raiden Mei's pupils, and her speed was increased under the pull of the power of the combination.

Raven's bullets were instantly crushed into powder upon contact with Raiden Mei's rice shovel, leaving Raven somewhat surprised.

You're not Raiden Mei, who are you?!

According to the information Gray Snake gave her, Raiden Mei isn't that outrageous. She pulverized a bullet with a shovel... With that kind of strength, are you some kind of hero from Liangshan?

Raven felt that Gray Serpent had given the wrong information. As expected of the Cloud Dragon among the 108 heroes of Liangshan, he could never achieve this effect himself.

Raiden Mei stood in front of Kiana, holding a rice paddle, exuding an aura of unyielding strength.

"Wow, Mei is amazing!"

Kiana felt a flutter in her heart; was this what they meant by "the hero saves the damsel in distress"?

"The great river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper."

A bold song rang out at that moment, and Raven felt that he also had many questions. What was that imposter Gray Snake doing? What did it mean to play a song at this time?

Using a phone with a brand unique to the Honkai Impact 3rd world, I played a song called "Heroes' Song." After it finished playing, Gray Snake quietly started recording.

Top Secret Operations Records.

Okay, let's put it in that document. The name is "How is Liangshan Heroes Entering the Clouds: Lightning Mei's Domineering Moment?"

Chapter 181: Kevin: My World Serpent members are loyal and there is absolutely no possibility of betrayal.

"Three cups of wine exhale a sense of righteous indignation, the Five Sacred Mountains seem light as a feather, a heart that can embrace the sun and moon, a heroic spirit that can shake mountains and rivers. This aura of one man guarding the pass against ten thousand men is truly worthy of being the current leader of Liangshan Marsh, the Cloud-Soaring Dragon and Thunderous Mei!"

As the voices of praise rang out, Raiden Mei cautiously looked around.

Just now... how did I manage to do that again?

Raiden Mei wasn't the only one puzzled; the Herrscher consciousness within her was also a source of confusion.

What exactly did you do while I was asleep? Turns out you really are the emperor of the dark cuisine world. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed you couldn't do anything.

Hey, you're such a great cook!

Herrscher Mei recalled the past Raiden Mei she had seen, who appeared as a god or demon. She felt that she should take it slow and not rush into taking over Raiden Mei's body.

"Who?"

Kiana has already picked up her weapon. Compared to her Genius form, she is more familiar with her own power.

"Hmm, this seems to be our first meeting. By the way, if we could win you over, the Honkai consciousness's expression would be quite interesting. For the sake of the snake, please come with me, Kiana and Raiden Mei."

Gray Snake spoke in a tone that suggested he was completely loyal to Kevin, to which Raven replied, "Go on, I'll just watch you perform."

The raven felt that even the real gray snake might not be so loyal to the world snake.

Seeing that there was no one in front of her except for the raven, Kiana showed a wary expression. Kiana fired a bullet towards the direction from which the sound came, but at that moment, Gray Serpent easily dodged it and rushed directly towards Kiana.

Just as the sharp blade appeared in his hand and Gray Serpent was about to succeed, a bullet struck his right hand.

"Thunder Dragon Horse!"

Turning his head to look at the lightning dragon horse and gray snake behind him, he frowned, seemingly because the gray snake's invisibility was beginning to fade at this moment due to the bullet.

"Since you've tried to harm my best friend and daughter, Gray Serpent, are you prepared to die?"

Raiden Ryoma said domineeringly. Looking at Raiden Ryoma in front of them, Raiden Mei and Kiana had rather complicated feelings.

I don't want to be your brother, I actually want to be your daughter!

Kiana internally complained, but her survival instincts prevented her from saying it aloud.

Raiden Mei showed no joy, surprise, or relief; instead, her brows furrowed slightly. "Father, why... are you in the girls' dormitory?"

Raiden Mei suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Why did he care more about Kiana than her own father? Father, are you and Kiana truly innocent? You can't betray Mother.

Well, Raiden Ryoma's reputation has been ruined by his own actions.

Xia Qing wanted to say that she didn't mean it, but she didn't know if it was too late.

"You?"

The gray snake seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and looked at the lightning dragon horse in front of it with an expression of disbelief.

"Do you think I would do nothing, given that I know you to some extent?"

Raiden Ryoma said in a deep voice, while Kiana and Raiden Mei silently picked up their weapons.

"It seems you've prepared to deal with me. In that case... Raven, Raiden Ryoma and his daughter Mei, you can stall for time. I'll take care of Kiana."

"I'll come help you after I've dealt with Kiana."

Gray Serpent acted decisively. Raven had no objection to these words; it was a reasonable strategic division.

I'm confident that if it's just procrastination, I can still be confident.

At that moment, at the World Serpent base, Kevin suddenly noticed that there was a new, unfamiliar voice on the World Serpent's internal communication channel.

"what is this?"

His tone carried a hint of doubt and confusion. He decisively clicked on the unfamiliar channel, and the miniature monitor on Raven's clothes displayed the footage to Kevin.

After exchanging blows with Gray Serpent a few times, Kiana realized that she was no match for him. After a moment of thought, Kiana decisively pulled out her Genius.

"You foolish and ignorant fool, do you think I would give you the chance to transform?"

Gray Serpent decisively said that when he saw Kiana take out the Genius Watch, which had created a full bottle of invisibility, chains appeared on Gray Serpent's body, and he directly snatched Kiana's Genius Watch.

Kiana, who had previously fought Gray Serpent using her intuition and the flow of the wind, was too late to stop him. Seeing that he had the Genius Bottle, Gray Serpent confidently removed his disguise.

What exactly are the gray snake and the raven doing?

Kevin looked at the two people on the screen with some confusion. From the footage, it seemed that they were fighting with that so-called genius physicist.

"By order of the Lord, today is your day of death. Raiden Mei, you are next. Your Herrscher core will bring the World Serpent's grand plan to a new level."

As Xia Qing, disguised as a gray snake armor, rushed towards Kiana, Kevin from the World Serpent Headquarters leaned back in his chair.

"You always manage to come up with something new."

Kevin said expressionlessly that he did not recall giving such an order.

Very good, Gray Snake, you did a great job. I felt before that you couldn't stay.

I didn't use enough force before, great, now I finally have another reason.

No one can betray the snake!

"Night Owl, I need to know the whole story."

Kevin spoke to another World Serpent member in the shadows not far away, and Night Owl, whose dark circles were clearly visible under his eyes, nodded.

Looking at Kevin, who was exhausted and had dark circles under his eyes, I felt a little relieved. Well, there are still more loyal people in the World Serpent. My judgment of people is not bad.

This World Serpent member named Night Owl was one of the World Serpent members I had the most contact with since leaving the Sea of ​​Quanta, and there was absolutely no possibility that he would betray me.

Kevin would be completely at ease letting Night Owl handle this.

Kevin believes he has a good eye for people, and he's already considering whether to let Night Owl take over some of Gray Snake's work.

"As you wish."

"Loyal and utterly incapable of betrayal, the owl, seemingly suffering from kidney deficiency, responded."

At this moment, the girls' dormitory area of ​​St. Freya Academy has become a scene of Gray Serpent unilaterally beating Kiana. Looking at Gray Serpent in front of her, Kiana took a few deep breaths.

Damn it, I'm no match for this guy. No, I can't give up. I'm not going to fall here.

Unfortunately, passion has limited effect in this world, and Kiana was ultimately defeated by Gray Serpent.

Are you willing to fail here?

Just as the gray serpent was about to launch its next attack, Kiana's soul entered a bubble space where the flow of time was different from that of the outside world.

Li Erlid's disguise reappeared, and he asked Kiana this question as he looked at her.

Chapter 182: Dangerous Trigger, Kiana Out of Control

"You are... Lillid?"

Looking at the figure in front of her, Kiana said the other person's name, and Xia Qing, who was now transformed into Li Erlid, said;

“You don’t need to be wary of me. Otto is just a temporary partner, while you are the one who is qualified to explore the mysteries with me.”

Kiana did not lower her guard because of Li Erlid's words. Looking at Li Erlid, whom she knew from her past self, Kiana questioned him:

"So, what exactly is your purpose in summoning me here?"

When Li Erlid heard this question, he continued to answer in a calm voice: "It wasn't me who brought you here, but you who found me."

Your proof of being a knowledge collector, the laws engraved upon your soul, just now appealed to me for help.

Kiana wasn't entirely convinced. After recalling how she obtained her Genius Bottle, she asked, "So, do you have a way to help me?"

"I cannot help you voluntarily, as the rules of the Holy Grail War limit my time in this world."

The only one who can help you is yourself.

Li Erlid spoke slowly and deliberately, and Kiana repeated the three words he uttered: "Myself?"

"That's right, it's the power you used to possess, which, while inferior to that of a genius, is still quite formidable."

But...do you really want to take that power back?

Lillid's voice lowered, and Kiana, sensing the key point, asked, "Why wouldn't I want to?"

“As Bishop Otto of Destiny once said, reason, through its power, liberated mankind from ignorance.”
