Don't shoot, I'm just a Honkai Impact 3rd content creator!

"Waaah, for Mei's sake, becoming a girl isn't so bad..."

"???"

"This one is even more of a heavyweight!"

"I'm scared, I'll run first!"

"Same run!"

"..."

Tsk tsk tsk, looking at that "high-energy" comment, Su Yu couldn't help but marvel. The world is really going to the dogs these days! While thinking this, Su Yu used his account to mark that comment as a featured post to ensure that most of his fans could see it!

This time, Su Yu is just too helpful!

Putting aside those fans who are "seriously ill," Bronya, who is next to Su Yu, reacted very strongly to this part of the story!

Bronya's eyes were practically glued to the screen, her gaze filled with disbelief.

"Will Mei really join World Serpent next?"

Bronya was speechless. When she returned from the Sea of ​​Quanta and inherited the core of the Herrscher of Reason from Mr. Welt, Bronya had vowed to destroy the Stigmata Project and wipe out the World Serpent.

So... now her Mei-neechan is about to defect to the enemy?

Although we haven't actually seen Mei join World Serpent yet, we can almost guess it from various details and plot developments; it's an obvious fact.

Bronya felt like she'd been betrayed!

......

The scene in the video changes again, and Mei has returned to the Helios. However, when facing Tesla, Mei only mentions that she sent Sora back, but does not tell Tesla about the "deal" that Raven mentioned.

In the medical bay of the Helios, Mei presented Kiana with a large plate of freshly made curry. Kiana hadn't eaten anything since waking up, so Mei had specially prepared this curry.

"Wow, it's curry made by Mei!"

Kiana straightened up, picked up the plate, and began to wolf down the curry. Before long, she had devoured the entire plate.

Seeing this, Mei's gloom lessened slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Four months have passed, but your eating habits and appetite haven't changed at all."

"Hehe, this is curry made by Mei!"

Kiana touched her head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Besides, I haven't eaten properly in the past four months! I haven't tasted anything so delightful and memorable in so long..."

"This refreshing taste, this just-right spiciness, Mei's cooking is definitely the best for me."

Kiana talked on and on, as if trying to prove how delicious Mei's curry was and how much she liked Mei's cooking, completely unaware that Mei's expression had changed.

When Mei heard Kiana say that the curry had just the right amount of spiciness, the smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes flashed with shock and heartache.

After Kiana finished speaking at length, Mei finally left the treatment room with the plate.

While washing the dishes in the kitchen, Mei's eyes couldn't help but glance at the leftover ingredients from making curry, where some bell peppers were prominently displayed.

Tears welled up in Mei's eyes without her noticing...

You idiot Kiana, how could a bell pepper be spicy?!

It was Kiana's oversight that made Mei realize just how serious Kiana's condition was; she had even lost her sense of taste!

Considering the announcements from Einstein and Tesla, and knowing that Kiana only had "two months" left, Mei secretly made a decision.

She was going to find Raven. She would do anything, no matter what the World Serpent wanted, to get Kiana back!

And so, without anyone noticing, Mei quietly left the Helios...

Soon, Mei met Raven, and then, under Raven's guidance, she met Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent!

Although Mei had recently read the intelligence shared by Einstein from headquarters, learning that Kevin, the leader of the World Serpent, had returned from the Sea of ​​Quanta, this was the first time she had actually seen Kevin in person.

The moment Mei saw Kevin, she felt a chill emanating from him; the man before her seemed utterly devoid of any human emotion.

Kevin didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.

“Raiden Mei, there is someone you want to save, but neither Destiny nor Anti-Entropy can grant your wish. However, I promise you that World Serpent can save that girl.”

Mei: ...

"What are your terms?"

In any transaction, to gain something, you naturally have to give something in return, and Mei understands this very well.

Kevin across from me is definitely not a philanthropist!

However, now that she was already here, Mei no longer cared about any of that.

Even if Mei were to stand before a devil from hell, she would not hesitate to sell her soul to him if it could save Kiana!

Kevin: "You!"

Raiden Mei: ......

Upon seeing this, the comments section erupted with hilarious antics.

"Good grief, is Kevin getting lustful because Mei and Mei look exactly alike? *doge*"

"Good grief, I knew you, Kevin with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were up to no good. Now you've shown your true colors! (Funny.jpg)"

Mei: What do you want? Kevin: I want you! Oh no, why is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a domineering CEO falling in love with me? Is there any hope for me?

"It's hopeless, just waiting to die! When the banquet comes, I want to sit at the girls' table."

"YYY, although I know Kevin wants Mei to join World Serpent, considering Mei's appearance, it's really hard not to doubt whether Kevin's motives are pure or not!"

"Defeat Kevin and steal Mei!"

"..."

Chapter 103 Mei: Kevin, you want to get something for nothing?

Mei: ...

Mei wasn't surprised by Kevin's conditions.

After all, Mei herself was well aware that, to an organization like World Serpent, her only potential value was probably her former identity as the Herrscher of Thunder and the Herrscher of Thunder energy remaining in her body!

Mei was already prepared before she came here.

"...I need to know the specific methods, and then watch her get out of danger."

"If the World Serpent can really do that... then I'll do anything you ask!"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Kevin didn't keep Mei in suspense any longer and went straight to telling her about Kiana's current situation.

"That girl named Kiana has Kaslana's bloodline flowing through her veins, giving her extremely high Honkai energy resistance. If it were just one core, it wouldn't be a problem for her, but now she has three cores inside her at the same time!"

"The Honkai energy erosion from the three cores has exceeded the limits that her body can withstand. There is only one way to save her, and that is to immediately separate the excess cores."

This method sounds very easy, but it's not so simple to do.

The only example of someone who survived having their Herrscher core removed is Raiden Mei herself, whose core was taken by Sirin, a former six-core Herrscher.

Apart from Sirin, Mei has not yet heard of any method to extract a Herrscher core from a living human body.

(Mei is still unaware of Welt's situation, and she feels that Welt's situation is probably not normal, since it's quite normal for Yang to be fine after doing sit-ups and passing the core to Bronya.)

After all, if that were possible, Principal Theresa wouldn't have let Wendy suffer from the desire for the gem for so long!

Clearly, Schicksal does not possess the technology to extract the Herrscher core without harming the host, and neither does Anti-Entropy; otherwise, Einstein and Dr. Tesla would have done so long ago!

Thinking of this, Mei looked at Kevin.

So, does World Snake possess the relevant technology?

"Does World Serpent possess the technology to extract the Herrscher core without harming the host?"

But when faced with this question, Kevin shook his head without hesitation.

"The World Serpent can't do it."

If it's just about extracting the Herrscher cores, that's simple; Kevin can just "rip out" Kiana's heart and extract as many Herrscher cores as he wants. But if the requirement is to not harm Kiana...

Sorry, neither Jackal, Kevin, nor anyone else in World Serpent can do it!

At this point, Mei couldn't help but look at Kevin with a puzzled expression, wondering what this man was trying to tell her.

On one hand, it's said that World Serpent can save Kiana, but on the other hand, it's said that World Serpent has no way to remove the Herrscher core from Kiana's body without causing harm. Isn't this a contradiction?

Kevin didn't leave Mei wondering for long and quickly continued.

"The World Serpent has no way to remove the core from the girl's body without harming her. There is only one way to do this now."

Kevin paused for a moment, his gaze then focusing on Mei.

"That is... to make you the Herrscher of Thunder again!"

Meiyi:! ! !

Before Mei could react, Kevin began to explain the specific details.

"You are the chosen Herrscher, and a gate connecting you to the Imaginary Tree will forever remain within you; when you absorb the residual energy from the Third Honkai Impact, you will awaken once more and seize the power of the Herrscher of Thunder from Kiana."
