Chapter 68: The Third Herrscher - Raiden Mei
[After Kiana and Mei meet up, Kiana, who had deviated from the operational plan, once again receives "Himeko's" loving care. Kiana once again shows off her tuna-level intelligence.
"Wei yu chou mou... what's that?"
Kiana and Mei fight their way to the rear of the warship. Kiana is about to finish it in one go, but Mei stops her. A huge shadow covers their figures.
The camera pans up. It's the large Honkai beast that had appeared before.
Due to the excess Honkai energy on the Selene, this Honkai Tyrant has been greatly enhanced. The two B-rank Valkyries are quickly at a disadvantage. Kiana is even knocked to the ground.
But are they facing just two "ordinary" B-rank Valkyries?
"I can't... fall here!"
"At least... I have to let Kiana..."
Mei struggles to stand in front of Kiana.
"Third Herrscher activity detected. Initiating restriction program," a cold, mechanical female voice sounds out.
The screen goes black. Several flashes of pink sword light cut across it. When the screen lights up again, it's Mei's pretty face, but now her gentle temperament is gone, her eyes a strange red.
"Go to hell, you trash!"
Countless slashes carrying lightning flash. The previously overwhelming Honkai Tyrant is instantly cut into several pieces, along with the surrounding Honkai beasts.
The last of the main trio, Bronya, arrives late. Just as she steps onto the rear of the warship, she sees the fragments of the Honkai beasts everywhere. And in the center, a now-normal Raiden Mei is holding the unconscious Kiana.
"Bronya... thank goodness, you're okay too," Mei's eyes are full of exhaustion. She faints in Bronya's arms just after speaking.]
"The Third Herrscher has finally shown her face."
"Why do I feel like I missed a movie?"
"Yeah, yeah, it doesn't connect with the last movie. Sirin was the Second Herrscher, and this movie just skips the Third Herrscher. I have no idea what happened."
"Big Sis Mei, step on me!"
"Get the guy upstairs out of here!"
"From now on, I am Miss Mei's dog! Woof woof woof, please step on me, Miss Mei!"
"You get out of here too!"
...
"The Third Herrscher is the Herrscher of Thunder?" Mobius glanced at Yaqing. "You're not planning to write that part of the plot? It's very easy for the audience to feel that the plot is disconnected."
Yaqing let go of the straw he was biting. "That part of the plot is too short. It's less than half an hour in total. But if I add it to the movie, the runtime will become very long."
"So, how are you going to solve it?"
"After this movie ends, I'll open an IP website, touch up the draft, and release it as a free comic."
"Mm."
The conversation between the two ended there. The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
Not because of them, but because of the seats next to them.
On the left, MEI was leaning on Kevin's shoulder, and Kevin had his arm around her.
On the right, Elysia was leaning on Eden's shoulder, and Eden was even feeding her popcorn from time to time.
This made Yaqing and Mobius, sitting in the middle, feel uncomfortable on both sides.
"Want some?" Yaqing deliberately started a conversation, offering the bucket of popcorn in his hand.
"Sure," Mobius reached out and took a few kernels.
Another dead silence.
"Tsk..." Kevin looked like he was disappointed in his failed matchmaking attempt.
In the front row, looking at the domineering "Mei," Kiana's eyes were shining. She quickly patted Mei and asked, "Mei, you actually voiced that! I've never seen you like that."
Mei blushed and quickly denied it, waving her small hands in front of her great evil. "It wasn't me. I really can't make that voice."
"Impossible! I would never mistake Mei's voice!" Kiana absolutely refused to admit she could misidentify Mei's voice.
"You didn't hear wrong. This is the latest product of Yaqing's research. It can imitate the voice of anyone whose data has been inputted, but it still has its drawbacks," Su, sitting in the row behind them, explained.
"Um, Uncle, why don't you open your eyes?" Kiana asked curiously.
"I am Su," Su reminded her, his smile not reaching his eyes.
"I know, but you're my darned old uncle's roommate. It wouldn't be right for me to call you 'brother,' and calling you by your name directly is also not quite right, so I can only call you 'Uncle'." Kiana said with an air of innocence.
"That makes sense," Su acknowledged the reasoning.
"Wait, if we're going by seniority like that, don't you have to call me 'Auntie'?" Senti found a loophole. After all, her relationship with Yaqing was totally that of brothers.
"Why?!"
"Because I'm good friends with Yaqing!"
"Damn it!"
[Bronya reports the mission progress to Himeko. Kiana carries the unconscious Raiden Mei on her back. Bronya shows off her hacking skills and successfully enters the warship's interior.
From Bronya's mouth, it is learned that this warship's design style, design philosophy, and even its insignia have strong "Anti-Entropy" characteristics. But why this unmanned warship would appear in the skies above Canghai City, she has no idea.
Mei slowly wakes up.
During their conversation, it is revealed that it was because of Mei that Bronya was able to break free from Anti-Entropy's control. This makes the audience curious about the past between the three of them, and about Anti-Entropy.]
"Broke free from Anti-Entropy's control? I remember in the first movie, wasn't Anti-Entropy the good guys? Why are they suddenly controlling children now?" Pardofelis asked, confused.
"I don't know. I'm more curious about what happened between them," Sakura said.
Anyone familiar with them should be able to tell that Raiden Mei's father is Raiden Ryoma. And in the first movie, Raiden Ryoma also made an appearance and was clearly on the side of Anti-Entropy.
And now, the daughter of a high-ranking Anti-Entropy executive, a girl who was once controlled by Anti-Entropy, and the daughter of a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie, three people whose paths should never have crossed, were now thrown together.
[While heading to the bridge, Bronya, noticing that Mei is still pushing herself, decides to hack into an Anti-Entropy mech to make it an ally. During the decryption process, Bronya notices a Trojan virus, but dismisses it as a Honkai energy leak.
"Whoa! So cool! Let me drive it!" Kiana's face is full of excitement.
Unsurprisingly, Bronya refuses her, spouting a lot of knowledge that Kiana has never even heard of.
Kiana doesn't care about any of that and jumps into the mech.
The screen switches to a first-person perspective, giving the audience an immersive feeling.
The mech is like an ancient warrior, charging through everything. Unsurprisingly, after arriving at the bridge, the mech is successfully wrecked. Kiana, whether intentionally or not, also presses the self-destruct button as she leaves the mech.
After entering the bridge, Bronya uses Project Bunny 19c to decrypt the warship's control rights.
But she is soon stunned.
"No login password... all operating permissions are open... how can this be?"]
"What does that mean?" Elysia couldn't understand.
"You're dumb. No login password and all operating permissions open means this warship is being given as a gift to whoever reaches the bridge," Mobius explained.
"Could it be a gift for Raiden Mei? After all, Raiden Ryoma's ME Corp is a subsidiary of the Anti-Entropy group," Kevin proposed a reason.
"I, on the other hand, feel it's a gift for Kiana," MEI suddenly spoke up.
Yaqing felt that next time a movie was released, he couldn't bring MEI along.
