T/N: Patch Notes 3/26/2023: Kiana calls Gao Qi Papa now instead of Dad
When the first thunder sounded, the Schicksal Valkyrie troops who had already been stationed in Nagazora responded immediately.
Although she couldn't believe the words of the person who claimed to be Gao Qi, Theresa could take this prophecy as nothing after all. With an attitude of preferring to believe it, she decided to use her name to do some preparations in Nagazora
Of course, the most important reason was that a teacher at St. Freya Academy recognized the name.
And when it was observed that there was abnormal weather in Nagazora, and the concentration of Honkai Energy was also rising, the Valkyries of Schicksal began to evacuate the citizens of the city according to procedures without hesitation.
Similarly, The Main Battleship Hyperion, which was docked at the Far East branch, immediately lifted off and headed towards Nagazora at full speed.
For the most advanced Battleship of Schicksal, it only took ten minutes to reach the city.
However, the Majesty of a Herrscher is not something that can be challenged at will by human technology.
"Warning, warning, the Shield's has dropped to... 60%. We have been hit by those lightning strikes and we're too big of a target.
"Area A4 was breached by a lightning strike, so we can only rely on armor to make it though!"
"The radar has detected more Honkai beasts, and they're approaching Nagazora from a distance. Although their power is insufficient, the only one who can control the Honkai Beasts is the Herrscher herself—this is likely to be another Eruption."
"Deck area, Honkai Beasts are appearing in D1, don't let them get close to the Houkai Reactor and Nuclear Reactor, Third Squad, follow me!"
Outside the window, under the thick dark clouds, hundreds of powerful thunderbolts strike down from the sky every second.
As Schicksal's Greatest Battleship, the Hyperion naturally has many means of protecting itself from lightning, and ordinary thunderstorms can't damage the ship's hull.
However, now that the thunderbolts with Honkai Energy were almost taking the Hyperion as a target, countless thunderbolts constantly bombarding the shield of the hull, making the huge battleship look a little shaky.
To be honest, even those experienced Valkyries on this Battleship are still a little uncertain at the moment.
Most of them are the new generation of Valkyries. Except for the veterans who are Teachers, they are the previous graduates of St. Freya Academy.
For them, even though they have dealt with many Honkai Outbreaks, this is the first time they have seen such a scene resembling a doomsday.
What kind of existence can cause such a terrible disaster?
If the Herrscher appeared... In the Second Honkai War 14 years ago, the Herrschers of the Void caused huge damage to Schicksal. How many Valkyries died? Learning such a war in the textbooks of St. Freya,
But, even so, no one flinched. Every Valkyrie understood the responsibilities on their shoulders. They were the barriers of the whole world.
During this time, even if the Third Herrscher cannot be eliminated or defeated, they must hold it back and avoid it spreading disaster as much as possible.
The Warships and the Valkyries of Schicksal Headquarters have already set off, and the S-Rank Valkyrie Durandal and Rita have already rushed to Nagazora at full speed.
Before help arrives, they must contain the Third Herrscher's attacks and protect the people.
This is the oath that every Valkyrie once made. Almost every one of them is a victim of the Honkai, and they will never allow the tragedy in themselves to be repeated in others!
And the one who makes every Valkyrie feel at ease is the Headmaster of St. Freya Academy, the former S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, Theresa Apocalypse, the one who everyone loves and pities. She is with them.
At this moment, her small figure was already sitting silently on the Captain's Seat, silently looking at what was in front of her eyes. Looking at a scene that looked like the end of the world, while maintaining her calmness.
Sighing softly, Theresa said to a Valkyrie with short taupe hair beside her.
"It's been 14 years, and I still can't forget the day when Siberia was destroyed. Over the years, I have been worried about another Eruption, but when it happened... I felt like I couldn't do anything."
On the other side, Ragna, once an excellent Valkyrie of Schicksal, and now an excellent Teacher of St. Freya, while also carrying "King Cobra" at this moment, staring at the approaching sky city, maintaining the elegance of a maid.
"I remembered that four years ago, the mission I performed in the Far North, the power of the Herrscher of the Void, was revived in Kiana's body-I still remember that the scene at that time was almost the same as the one now.
Gently holding her forehead, Ragna suddenly felt that some vague and inconsistent memories returned to her mind.
In her memory, it was the Valkyrie Stormtroopers who blocked the runaway K-423. The Anti-Entropy Troops and Siegfried arrived late, but she escaped in the end.
But, if the Herrscher was so powerful—why was the Valkyrie Stormtroopers alive and well without any injuries?
They obviously couldn't fight the Void Herrscher, who helped them?
"Don't think about it too much. Ragna, you go lead the Second Squad and protect the Ship's Hulkk. I'll wait for Himeko on the deck since this is the first time the Nexus System has been put into use, so I'm worried."
Lifting the heavy golden cross beside her, Theresa and Ragna walked out of the room together.
"Himeko was infected by Honkai Energy many years ago, and her body has been severely eroded by the energy after her artificial Sitgma was implanted... The Nexus System has unimaginable damage to the human body, It's hard to imagine how determined she is."
Recalling the Teacher who was serious and professional in teaching, but was out of shape on weekdays, often went out to drink too much, had extremely poor alcohol tolerance, and was often complained about by students. Theresa walked towards the deck of the Hyperion sighing.
Every time after getting drunk, that woman will always go crazy with alcohol, babbling about her only love interest when she was young, with the Valkyries and Teachers trying to help with her drinking problem and even Theresa and Ragna getting involved
Himeko said how gentle and handsome he was, how understanding he was, how he tolerated all her shortcomings, and even had an incredible adventure with her—but after that, he left her.
But everyone felt that with Himeko's appearance, no matter how good a man was, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it, and it was normal to leave her.
However, not long ago, when Theresa mentioned the name "Gao Qi", Himeko participated in this operation without hesitation and was willing to become the first to use the Nexus System as an experimenter
Even Theresa could guess that Himeko must have a connection to the person named Gao Qi!
"Gao Qi, Gao Qi, this guy... that name sounds irritating, and him knowing such dangerous information, how did he get in touch with Himeko!"
Soon, Theresa carried Oath of Judah to the deck of the Hyperion and threw the golden cross forward casually. A few golden chains pierced and wiped out several Houkai Beasts on the deck.
The distance between the Hyperion and Nagazora was getting closer and closer, but the surging Honkai Herd and the increasingly violent thunder bombardment made the Hyperion a little unstable.
Clang, Clang, Clang—
There was a sound of metal clashing, accompanied by heavy footsteps, Theresa turned her head and saw a red-haired woman in a full Battlesuit.
Her long hair looked a little short after it was coiled up, and the bright red Battlesuit fit her plump and tall body precisely like tights, even a lot of white skin was exposed on her chest and lower abdomen.
The Third-Generation Valkyrie Battlesuit: Scarlet Fusion, being worn by Himeko, is surrounded by many heavy mechanical exoskeletons that did not belong to the Scarlet Battlesuit, and on her back, there were even thick cables connected to the main energy network of the Hyperion.
Since the Second Honkai War in a decade, the technology of Schicksal has been greatly improved. Compared with the First-Generation Battlesuit, it's about equal to a decoration, the Second-Generation has little protection, and for the Third-Generation It was already possible for a Valkyrie to resist the attack of a Honkai Beast.
Unlike the mass-produced Battlesuit, the ones for the A-Rank Valkyrie often have more personalized settings and different specialties in line with a Valkyrie's personal fighting habits.
The Scarlet Fusion is equipped with the Nexus System, which is an experimental product of Schicksal, and uses a large amount of Nuclear Energy to trigger a reaction of Honkai Energy, to achieve the purpose of manipulating such a large amount of Honkai Energy at the same time
The Battlesuit itself has an independent combat mode, and the Nexus System can also be used for a short time in an emergency, but to truly exploit the system's capabilities, it needs to be connected to the Battleship's Honkai Reactor and Nuclear Reactor.
To put it simply, this Battlesuit was a flexible humanoid cannon that matched the Battleship. But there was one downside, as it puts a heavy load on the human body with one use of it taking 10 years of one's lifespan.
"Himeko... if I recall, that Battlesuit shouldn't be so revealing?"
Looking at Himeko's proud bust and seductive body, Theresa couldn't help raising her eyebrows. She had never seen Himeko dressed up like this outside the dormitory.
"Oh, of course, I have a boyfriend, and naturally I have to show him my best side—forget it, Headmaster, you will never have the chance to enjoy the beauty of love in this life!"
Taking out a small cosmetic bag, and finally putting on makeup for herself, Himeko smiled brightly, put down the mechanical mask, with her whole body in the exoskeleton, and raised the mechanical great sword full of Honkai Energy in her hand.
And on her Battlesuit, half of the energy of the reactor from the Hyperion is continuously providing her with power—this kind of power can even fight against the Emperor-Class Honkai Beast, but whether it can fight against the Herrscher... No one is sure.
"Hi! You—hello? What! Come in!"
Theresa was ridiculed by Himeko about her body problem and immediately became furious, but soon, a phone call attracted her attention.
Picking up the phone, Theresa, a 42-year-old woman, cursed directly at the one calling her!
"Cocolia, are you crazy! You don't think I know that you're Nagazora. I turned a blind eye to your internal struggle in Anti-Entropy, but you revived a Herrscher! You crazy woman, do you want to destroy the world!"
Although Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were hostile to each other, they still maintain peace in the Far East. They do not communicate with each other and do not interfere with each other. Occasionally, there were some small frictions, but still not prevalent. Although Theresa knows that Raiden Ryoma and Cocolia were an emerging force, she has not intervened
But who would have thought that Cocolia, a lunatic, would directly create a Herrscher in the Far East!?
Since the Second Honkai War, laboratories like Babylon have been shut down, and it's even more impossible for the Far East branch to conduct such experiments. Theresa is 100% sure that this is a trick of Cocolia!
"Ms. Theresa... I know that my words are not credible, but the recovery of the Third Herrscher is indeed not related to me—forget it, Anti-Entropy will fully cooperate with the evacuation of the citizen, and the Mecha troops will also go suppress the Herrscher, we know the truth of this matter, please don't open fire on our Troops."
Cocolia, the fox in Teresa's eyes, seems to have lost her original demeanor and calmness at this moment. Instead of applying eye drops to Theresa as usual, she directly issued a cooperation invitation.
"My troops will attack the Herrscher together with you, but the premise is that you must protect the safety of one person."
On the other end of the phone, Cocolia was sitting in the temporary command post of the M.E.I company, her hand holding the phone trembling from nervousness.
And on the screen in front of him, there was a man's information and photos, which Cocolia had read countless times.
Cocolia didn't know Gao Qi's name, but after her subordinates uploaded his information, Cocolia just glanced at him and saw that he was the Older Brother who had been with Raiden Mei for ten years and stopped paying attention.
And not long ago, after her daughter Bronya sent back the information in surprise, Cocolia was completely taken aback.
It was indeed him, it was indeed him, and Zero was Gao Qi. The moment she saw the photo, Cocolia knew how stupid she was - she should have discovered him long ago!
According to the data, this man named Gao Qi hadn't even left Nagazora in the past ten years, and he was much younger than Zero, who was already somewhat vague in Cocolia's mind
But, since Bronya said that it was her Papa, then he is! Maybe the Sea of Quanta can travel through time, something that Einstein didn't understand! Anything is possible!
"Gao Qi, that man is my lover. After this matter is done, you can have the Herrscher. I only want him."
For the current Cocolia, there is no need for the Herrscher or the Gem of Conquest. Everything she did in these past few months was just to get that man back to her.
Now that he's back, she doesn't need to do anything extra.
The current Cocolia just wants to make up for her mistakes. Although she did not do anything to Raiden Mei. Ten years ago, Raiden Ryoma, an idiot, did implant the Gem of Conquest into his daughter with her help.
Moreover, to control the M.E.I company, she did frame Ryoma in prison. If Mei becomes a Herrscher, then Cocolia feels that she should also take some responsibility for her mental problems.
However, no matter what, as long as he can come back, Cocolia is willing to give everything!
"Wait, what the hell are you talking about?! Gao Qi is my boyfriend, what nonsense are you saying bitch! Why don't you say it to my face! Don't stop me, Theresa, I'm going to hack her right now!"
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you, Himeko?! Calm down, calm down, don't get excited!"
Suddenly, in her call with Theresa, a desperate and extremely eager female voice came out, as if there was a heavy collision.
"Wait, what are you talking about, you're Gao Qi's girlfriend, what nonsense are you talking about, you are a Valkyrie of Schicksal? Did you hit your head or something!"
Before Cocolia could inquire further, the phone was hung up, leaving only Cocolia with a confused face.
"Zero, you..."
For a moment, Cocolia suddenly felt that the top of her head was green, but obviously, now is not the time to think about it.
Without hesitation, she called another number, and with the signal fluctuations caused by bursts of thunder, she connected to the secret number on the phone again.
"Raven, I'm sure, that's him, bring him back, bring him back safely!"
—————
"What, are you sure? Don't be kidding me, are you joking, he should be in the Sea of Quanta - it's him!"
On the top of the tallest building in Nagazora, Raven pushed open the roof door, looking at the photos uploaded from her mobile phone, and her red eyes widened.
"Understood, I will save him at all costs, this idiot, why does he always run to dangerous situations..."
After hanging up the phone, Raven took out a blue and black cube from the backpack on her back.
"A Divine Key, first time using this in real-time, let's hope my training in the Elysian Realm paid off."
Taking a deep breath, recalling the past few months, she practiced hard in the Elysian Realm and took the Rubik's cube-like object into her hand.
In that illusory world composed of memories, several "guides" who have existed since ancient times act as mentors for every member of World Serpent. They were powerful warriors of the Previous Era, and although they have some personality problems, Raven has benefited a lot.
Among them, several Flame Chasers even gave her some gifts—including, a "prophecy" that they she would find someone important when they came to Nagazora.
"Thank you, Miss Aponia."
After talking about the story of the person she fell in love with for the first time and leaving him with several female Flame Chasers in the Elysian Realm, Raven got this prophecy from Aponia.
Originally, she thought that this prophecy meant that the gate of the Sea of Quanta would open in Nagazora, but now it seems... this prophecy is more accurate than what Raven thought.
"Please, don't change into something stupid this time, neither a slingshot nor a lipstick - I'm here to save people!"
The moment Raven touched the Rubik's Cube, a sniper rifle with a thunderous aura appeared in her hand.
Divine Key· Seven Thunders of Retribution, a powerful weapon that World Serpent has preserved since ancient times.
Bang———
In the distance, the lightning strikes became denser and denser on a shrine on a hill, where the concentration of Honkai Energy is at its highest, and it is obvious that Herrscher is there.
"If it's that idiot, he must have rushed to the most dangerous place by now—this time, don't even think about leaving us behind!"
Finally, unlike in the Elysian Realm, this time, the purple Divine Key did not turn into a slingshot or lipstick but turned into a sniper rifle.
From her pocket, Raven took out a precious Divine Key bullet and skillfully loaded it. Through the scope, she looked at the interior of the shrine in the distance.
Sure enough, with just one glance, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night for months.
"Zero!"
Gao Qi looks much younger than before. At this moment, he was surrounded by a strange halo and energy, and fighting something.
And around him, a fast-moving purple phantom was constantly attacking him with lightning and thunder.
Every time, the Herrscher would turn into a violent thunder and attack him, but he would summon a strange power to barely block it.
"Damn it, it's too fast!"
However, that was only a moment. Even after undergoing a lot of training and not losing to the transformation of a Valkyrie, the speed of the Herrscher of Thunder was too fast.
Wounds began to appear on Zero's body, and Raven was extremely anxious, but she couldn't find a chance to shoot at all.
"Calm down, calm down, calm down—"
The person she loves the most was attacked by a Herrscher right in front of her, but Raven couldn't find a chance to attack at all. Her loneliness and despair for the past few months almost exploded at this moment, making her completely unable to calm down.
Suddenly, Raven thought of something, took out a needle from her side, and inserted it into her carotid artery without hesitation.
In the next second, her eyes became extremely cold and no longer wavered.
"Liquid Discipline", is a strengthening solution from World Serpent. After injecting this special liquid, soldiers will enter an extremely calm state and will not be controlled by any external objects.
It is said that this is a by-product of a secret plan in the Previous Era. That plan seems to be to prevent the Honkai from erasing information conceptually and to preserve a Will in the deepest part of human consciousness.
But now, Liquid Discipline is a kind of stimulant that can create terrifying fighters. Although the subjects will be affected mentally after the effect of the drug wears off, and the severe ones will become lunatics, during the duration of the drug effect, they can become powerful and terrifying warriors.
"No matter what the price is, Humanity must defeat Honkai!"
Raven murmured a word to herself and then fell into complete silence.
She watched Gao Qi's confrontation with the Herrscher of Thunder, looking for every possible opportunity.
Finally, after another collision, the Herrscher of Thunder seemed to have fallen into a sluggish moment, the lightning around her began to dissipate, and the thunderstorm in the sky was much less.
She seemed to be embracing Gao Qi and then separated again, and the Honkai Energy in her body was also decreasing.
"Wait, did she recover, I—"
The thought of being merciful flashed across for a moment, but after that, in Raven's mind, there were multiple female voices, gentle, cunning, ethereal, simple, elegant, playful, rational, innocent... The voices of different girls, forming chords, began to echo.
"Remember him, find him, don't let anyone hurt him! Kill whoever wants to hurt him!"
The voice was so loud that it was hard to refuse, Raven's eyes became fierce again, and the moment the two separated, he immediately pulled the trigger.
Biu——
The bullets of the Third Divine Key burst out. This weapon can instantly dispel "Electromagnetic Force" which is one of the four fundamental forces. The one who is hit whether it's a Human or a Honkai Beast will be destroyed. It is impossible to effectively resist the blow of this fundamental force.
In an instant, the body of the Herrscher of Thunder was dismantled, and Raven deliberately controlled the power of the bullet so that the light would not hurt Gao Qi who was facing her.
Killing a young girl is not good for Raven, but from a human point of view, Herrschers must die!
"The mission is over and the target is dead. I told Cocolia a long time ago that there is no need to mobilize so many troops—what!"
But, the next moment, Raven saw that in the shrine in the distance, the disintegrated body of the Herrscher of Thunder was restored to integrity in an instant amidst the roaring thunder!
—————
Bang———
The thunder was roaring, the strong wind blowing, and the calm sky now was filled with more intense thunderstorms. The dark clouds were invisible, with everything covered by pure thunderstorms.
In Nagazora, several large-scale shelters prepared in advance have been opened, and countless citizens were escorted by the troops of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy. Although it is impossible to protect everyone, thanks to someone's early warning, many casualties were avoided.
"Ah, this power is so amazing! I can feel it! The power of the Herrscher of Thunder, a call from 50,000 years ago. My colleagues once successfully destroyed this world, and now... it's my turn to judge the world!"
The purple thunder surrounded her whole body, and Raiden Mei's destroyed body recovered instantly after a second, the blow like divine punishment not only did not kill her but even made her understand the essence of her power.
The Will of Raiden Mei was completely suppressed in the bottom of her consciousness, and the Divine Key, which shot from afar and was driven by the core of Thunder of the Previous Era, made the modern Herrscher of Thunder understand the true meaning of its power.
"Electromagnetic Force, the force that binds elementary particles to each other, but if I use the Honkai Energy to completely smash it... Boom!"
The sudden increase in power made the personality of the Thunder Queen who had just been suppressed by Gao Qi's "Power of Love" resurface again.
There is no longer only illusory lightning around her, but a solid lightning battlesuit appeared on the Herrscher's body - Lighting Empress.
The Queen of Thunder stretched out her slender hand, flicked her fingers, and a bolt of lightning shot out.
crackling.
Not far away, the Torii on the mountain road was instantly shattered into ashes hit by a bolt.
It wasn't the effect of being burned away by higher temperatures, but the molecular bonds were broken, turning into a cloud of ashy powder, which was blown away by the strong wind.
No, it's not so much a powder, it's finer... It seems to be some kind of liquid.
If a human body took that lightning bolt, there is no doubt that someone will instantly turn into a "milkshake". Even thinking about could make someone sick.
Immediately afterward, the Herrscher of Thunder pulled out a slender purple katana from her plump chest out of thin air.
Hey hey hey, isn't that blatantly plagiarising, you can't just copy the ability of the next-door neighbor Raiden Shogun just because you two look the same, have the same voice, the same bust, and both of you use Electricity!
"Okay, now, you bug, it's time for us to have a good discussion-how should I punish you."
Mei slashed sideways casually, Gao Qi suddenly lowered his head, and a lock of hair was cut off, and behind him, the blade chopped the Inari Shrine into powder.
The Shogun next door slashed people, the Musou no Hitotach could cut him into two pieces at least, but the blade of the Herrscher - was gonna make him into liquid scum!
Originally, he had successfully appeased the Herrscher of Thunder, but the plan was completely ruined by that shot from the Seven Thunders of Retribution. While Gao Qi regretted it, he was in no mood to blame Raven who fired it.
After all, in the original story when the Third Eruption happened in 2014 Raven rescued many children in Nagazora. She had 100% hatred for the Herrscher, and it would be unreasonable not to take the shot.
And... this is his Raven, Gao Qi knows what she thinks of him, if Raven sees that he is being attacked by the Herrscher of Thunder at this moment, then she will definitely shoot Mei without hesitation!
In a sense, counting in the order of first come, first served, although the relationship between Gao Qi and Raven has never been made clear-but this really was getting out of hand.
'Ah, I was wrong, I really shouldn't have set up so many flags, I'm really setting up a bloody ending didn't I!'
And looking at the Herrscher of Thunder, who was full of boundless anger at the moment because of Gao Qi's fooling, he knew that things were gonna get worse.
Before, Gao Qi was able to fight with the Herrscher of Thunder because she was still in a Pseudo Herrscher State, while not able to control her power, and could only strike people with thunderbolts.
Otherwise, Kiana couldn't defeat the Herrscher, and teamed up with Himeko with the Nexus System, they wouldn't win.
And when Mei really became the Herrscher of Thunder, three years later in Nagazora under the guidance of Kevin, the Lord of World Serpent, who broke the seal, she accepted the power of a Herrscher and became the real Herrscher of Thunder.
And now... the Herrscher of Thunder already has the strength that wouldn't lose to the Herrscher of Void back then
The Honkai Energy in her body was like when a Pufferfish got some Herrscher Gems. Her overall strength has increased dramatically, increased, and became more than fifty times stronger!
And now, even if Gao Qi was given another Herrscher core or other gems, he would probably not be able to confront the Herrscher of Thunder head-on.
The Herrscher of Thunder would cause a great war that would be disastrous as the Second Honkai War. Schicksal and Anti-Entropy need to join forces again to minimize the losses caused by the Herrscher.
Gao Qi believes that Otto's trump card will allow him to solve this crisis.
But what about Mei? What about Kiana! If Mei showed the destructive power of a true Herrscher, Otto would not allow her to stay in the Far East Branch!
"Hey, can we reconcile?"
Looking at the Herrscher of Thunder in front of him, Gao Qi grinned, revealing an awkward smile.
No, he can't sit still, let alone wait for fate to solve this problem. Even if she is the real Herrscher of Thunder, Gao Qi must - subdue her!
An undetectable fluctuation came, Gao Qi received a message and immediately began to stall for time.
"What did you say? Don't worry, I still won't kill you, but since you're so bad, I think we need to cut off your limbs."
Stretching out her hand, she wiped the sharp blade, feeling its powerful strength, the Herrscher of Thunder felt that everything was under her control.
"Your mouth, on the other hand, is eloquent, glib, and... still very flexible. I think it can stay, right?"
A cruel and beautiful smile appeared on her face, and the Herrscher of Thunder nodded her lips. The Majesty of the Queen, mixed with the rising Honkai Energy, made it difficult for Gao Qi to breathe, but he still maintained a smile and grab the other person's attention.
"Wow, that's not the case we spent hundreds of nights together, sweetheart, you should also think about the happy time we spent."
And this obvious provocation directly reminded the Thunder Queen of her embarrassing behavior just now, and an expression of shame and indignation immediately appeared on her face.
"Hey, happy about your size, you pervert, I'll blow you away!"
Thunder burst out, and the Herrscher of Thunder turned into four bolts of lightning, slashing toward Gao Qi's limbs.
In an instant, in front of Mei, the floor tiles were raised, and countless plants spawned by the Authority of Death broke out of the ground. They were strengthened by ice, but they were instantly decomposed into smaller particles than powder by her blade with Electromagnetic Force.
There is nothing in the world that doesn't need to rely on Electromagnetic Force to maintain its integrity. Once it loses control, it will inevitably have its structure collapse.
However, some things are completely exceptions, for example, Honkai Energy, Imaginary-Quanta! Those energies are not physical!
"Coordinates, it's complete, Papa, we are here to save you!"
"Papa, let's go!"
In the next second, accompanied by flying Quanta Butterflies, two petite girls appeared beside Gao Qi, and the giant robot even raised its shield to block the terrifying lightning strike.
"Project Bunny! Protocol Three!"
Bronya's curly hair fluttered, and Seele grabbed Gao Qi's arm, and together with Gao Qi drove the Quanta teleportation, and Project Bunny also moved.
"Protocol Three, protect Papa, ready!"
On the top of Project Bunny's head, the data core that was used to reorganize the precious information of its body was ejected backward and returned to Bronya's pocket. At the same time, the Quanta Powers in its body also began to run wild!
This is a tactic that Bronya has prepared for a long time. If she meets her Papa and is in a crisis like last time, then she will do it!
Buzz buzz -- boom!! !
Accompanied by a roar caused by Quanta Fluctuations, Project Bunny blew itself up in an instant, while the Herrscher's lightning strike was isolated on the other side of the space by the explosion.
As for Gao Qi, Seele and Bronya were teleported to a roof of a building in the distance.
"Papa, are you okay? We evacuated the citizens. I won't leave this time no matter what you say, I will die with you"
Kiana, who had been waiting here for a long time, rushed up and hugged Gao Qi, crying, not wanting to let go at all.
"Don't be silly, it's not that desperate yet."
As soon as the voice fell, a huge thunderbolt pierced the sky, and an angry roar of a fool resounded throughout Nagazora from the top of a distant mountain.
"Believe me, that's not Mei's original character—just like you, Kiana, she also has a bastard who wants to destroy the world living in her body."
Gao Qi sighed softly, rubbed Kiana's little head, and began to think about his next plan - in fact, he didn't have many options.
Things have gone beyond his expectations, and Gao Qi has to his wits in a hurry.
"Okay, let me think about it, alas, does a Divine Key attract Moths with its light."
After clapping his hands, Gao Qi had a flash of inspiration and looked in the direction where the Divine Key shot just now.
"Come on, let's go to the top of that tall building."
"Yes, Papa."
Without wasting much time, the four of them passed through the Quantum Realm transfer and arrived at the roof of the ME club building.
"Who—Gao Qi!"
Her attack worked, but the Herrscher suddenly regained her vitality and became stronger than before. When Raven was still puzzled, she felt a few people appear behind her, she aimed the Divine Key at several people.
However, the next second, after seeing that familiar face, she dropped the gun without any hesitation and threw herself into Gao Qi's arms.
"You, you idiot, why do you always show up in such dangerous places? Last time it was like this, you disappeared in the Sea of Quanta, this time too, can't you save people some time! Do you know how worried I was? What!"
This time, Raven didn't hide anymore, her concern and love for Gao Qi, she stood on her tiptoe without hesitation and kissed Gao Qi's lips in a jerky and unskilled manner.
"Well--"
Behind Gao Qi, Seele immediately covered her eyes shyly, but she couldn't help but spread her fingers and looked at the two who were kissing.
"Wow - another Stepmother, my god."
As for Kiana, her eyes widened in surprise. She is a clone anyway. It doesn't matter if Papa finds a few more mothers, as long as he loves her all the time!
Moreover, looking at the two kissing, Kiana couldn't help touching her lips.
"Oh, Mama Cocolia is always one step behind."
In the end, Bronya was playing with the data core of Project Bunny, manipulating its Quanta Power, and quickly reconstructed a part of the robot, sighing softly.
Mama really is not active in stealing men, there must be something wrong with her thinking.
For Raven, this kiss spanned several months, but for Gao Qi, it was a kiss that spanned many years, expressing Raven's heart, not only herself but even he was a little dizzy.
Half a minute later, Raven blushed and let go of his mouth, her red eyes were quite shaken. This kind of outrageous behavior is really something that shouldn't be done for the mercenaries of World Serpent, but... She misses Gao Qi too much.
"Phew, it's okay, it's my fault, it's my fault, I'll explain it to you before I go to die next time."
Taking a deep breath, Gao Qi immediately pulled Raven's cheek.
"However, if you want to talk about an idiot, there's one in front of me, a little idiot who took the core of the Herrscher of Thunder to deal with the same Herrscher itself and replenish her energy!
Didn't your Lords at World Serepent not teach you that you shouldn't use the same source to deal with them—forget it, don't blame yourself, it's just a little bit added, it doesn't make a difference."
Knocking Raven's head, Gao Qi only said that the Raven replenished the energy for the Herrscher of Thunder but did not say that she transformed the Herrscher, otherwise, Raven would blame herself to death.
"What... I was wrong, so what should we do next, the Herrscher seems to be getting stronger and stronger! Are you going to let Schicksal and Anti-Entropy deal with them? Many kids are still in the city."
Looking at the thunder in the distance, Raven's face froze, and lowered her head apologetically—she didn't know about it.
"No, I can't wait any longer. When the main force of Schicksal comes, the whole of East Asia will be gone. Besides, I have to wake up Mei."
Shaking his head, Gao Qi bent down and picked up the "Seven Thunders of Retribution" that still had the appearance of a sniper rifle from the ground.
"I need you to lend me your Divine Key, and at the same time, I also need you to connect with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy—this battle requires the joint efforts of our whole family."
Thinking in this way, Gao Qi stretched out his hand to the Shining Thunder Core of The Seven Thunders of Retribution—the Core of the Previous Era Herrscher of Thunder.
Without the Key of Blankness, Gao Qi can't unleash the true power of a Herrscher as he did before, but if he barely uses the energy of the core, he could also block the opponent for a while——
However, the moment Gao Qi came into contact with Seven Thunders of Retribution, the original sniper rifle suddenly changed.
The Divine Key melted like a liquid and turned into a pair of armor, covering Gao Qi's body.
On the back of Gao Qi's right hand, there was a purple-red crystal that is extraordinarily dazzling - the core of the Herrscher of Thunder.
In an instant, tyrannical power began to pour into Gao Qi's body, as if it had been waiting for him to appear for a long time.
"How is it possible, the Divine Key has never been in this form..."
On the side, Raven couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't know it had this function.
"That's right, doesn't that just mean that I'm very good?"
Clenching his covered fists, Gao Qi took a deep breath, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
The next second, billowing thunder appeared from Gao Qi's body. Above the sky, real red thunder fell, driving away the purple thunder.
There is no doubt that it was the power of a Herrscher, even if it is only a Pseudo-Herrscher, for the current Gao Qi, it was enough.
At this moment, Gao Qi enters the realm of a Herrscher again!
This Divine Key has an additional function similar to the Key of Blankness, combined with the core of the Herrscher of Thunder, and Gao Qi's power making him able to handle the Thunder Herrscher
'Is it a coincidence, or... Anyway, thank you, Vill-V, your invention isn't bad, you are indeed the best inventor of Fire Moth.'
In his mind, he thanked a certain girl who he was not familiar with but still met, Gao Qi smiled slightly, looked at the girls around him, and whispered to them.
The Power of a Pseudo-Herrscher, of course, cannot deal with a Herrscher, but if you add the Power of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, plus your lover and baby daughter, then—it's more than enough!
After setting up the plan, Gao Qi hugged each girl and said his final farewell.
"Okay, this battle, I will accompany you to the end - let's start."
In the next second, red thunder flashed, Gao Qi's figure disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Herrscher of Thunder.
"Mei, I'm here to save you!"
