Collapse, but Stand users

Upon waking up in the morning, He Chengrui touched DIO's skull, pondering Mei's recent unusual behavior.

After ruling out various factors related to adolescence, the only remaining reason is the Herrscher of Thunder.

However, whenever He Chengrui enters Mei's dream, he is always unable to find the figure of the Herrscher of Thunder.

'They've probably been discovered and are on guard against me,' He Chengrui thought to himself.

Fortunately, Mei already had a bomb planted on her, and with the White Serpent watching her every move tomorrow, the Herrscher of Thunder is unlikely to pose a threat.

Mei should be aware of the threat that the Herrscher of Thunder and she might pose, but He Chengrui doesn't intend to lecture her, after all, the child is grown up and should have her own thoughts.

"It's so peaceful; there's not a soul on the streets."

"Although there aren't many people in this villa area to begin with."

He Chengrui muttered to himself, summoning the White Snake and the Assassin Queen to surround him.

Suddenly, He Chengrui jumped back two big times and out of the room.

"Boom."

The bomb exploded right where He Chengrui had just been sitting, and the commotion alerted the three women on the first floor.

He Chengrui rushed downstairs and saw the three men who were waiting in ambush.

"Go out first and then talk."

The four ran out of the villa and saw the approaching enemy—a Titan and a man.

He Chengrui frowned slightly as he looked at the man who looked exactly like Walter.

'Walter's clone, Cocolia, isn't she afraid of being exposed to Einstein and the others?'

"Lord Walter, please make a move."

'Walter' snorted coldly and applied gravity to everyone, including Cocolia.

"Know your place, Cocolia. Don't give me orders, understand?"

Cocolia was pinned to the Titan's control panel, unable to move, and could only manage to make a sound with difficulty.

"Yes, Alliance Leader, it was I who overstepped my bounds."

"It won't happen again."

He said, "Walter released the gravity from Cocolia's body, and then looked at He Chengrui and his group who were pinned to the ground."

"An ordinary man and three little brats, and you actually think I'm worth calling upon to deal with them?"

"Cocolia, you've disappointed me."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Alliance Leader."

'Walter' waved his hand, signaling Cocolia to shut up.

During their conversation, He Chengrui remained motionless, lying on the ground.

He's gambling that, if he's right, he probably won't need to make a move this time.

The slowly rising Honkai energy around them confirmed He Chengrui's idea.

A flash of crimson appeared in Mei's purple pupils, and then she stood up against the force of gravity.

"Kneeling before this thing, Raiden Mei, you have disgraced the title of the Queen of Thunder."

The Herrscher of Thunder, dissatisfied with kneeling before others, directly logged in and took over the account.

"Oh? The Herrscher of Thunder, how interesting."

As 'Walter' spoke, he increased the gravity on the Herrscher of Thunder, and Cocolia, seeing that the situation was not good, chose to retreat a distance to observe.

Feeling the gravity acting on her, the Herrscher of Thunder chuckled.

"You think you can make me submit, you're just a defective product?"

As the Herrscher of Thunder spoke, she activated the Honkai energy within her body.

The once clear sky suddenly became overcast, and then a bolt of lightning struck down, heading straight for 'Walter' floating in the sky.

However, 'Walter' underestimated his opponent and was unable to dodge in time, directly taking the attack from the Herrscher of Thunder.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky reappeared.

"I still haven't fully taken over this body, so I can't unleash my full power."

The Herrscher of Thunder muttered to herself, looking at 'Welt' who had taken the hit.

He fell straight down and didn't get up for a moment.

The battlefield fell silent, and the Herrscher of Thunder did not make any rash moves.

Upon seeing this, He Chengrui crawled forward a few meters.

Suddenly, 'Walter' got up, but his body was charred black and he no longer looked as arrogant as before.

"Hahaha, very good! I was too kind; I didn't crush you all immediately!"

"Now, I won't hold back!"

"Witness the power of the Herrscher of Reason, God!"

"Similar to a black hole."

As he spoke, 'Walter' conjured a black hole and threw it at the crowd.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Thunder Herald flew a distance away, but He Chengrui and the other two were still pressed to the ground by gravity and could not move.

"Oh no! Quickly save the teachers!" Mei shouted anxiously to the Herrscher of Thunder in her mind when she saw the three of them in danger.

"If you want to save them, give me your body completely!"

The most urgent task was to save lives, and Mei had no other choice but to give her body completely to the Herrscher of Thunder.

Power surged through his body, a bolt of lightning flashed, and 'Walter's' head fell to the ground, while the pseudo-black hole he had created dissipated.

“In fact, even if you don’t give me your body, I can still annihilate him.”

The Herrscher of Thunder, floating in the air, spoke to Mei inside her body.

"Now, watch me kill your beloved teacher."

The Herrscher of Thunder drew a katana from the void and slowly walked towards He Chengrui.

He walked up to him, raised his hand, and with a swift motion, chopped off He Chengrui's head.

Looking at Kiana and Bronya, who were still lying on the ground, the Herrscher of Thunder did not make a move, choosing to let them go before leaving.

After taking two steps, the Herrscher of Thunder suddenly stopped.

"Why is the enemy lying on the ground after they're dead?"

"So you finally found it?"

Upon hearing the voice, the Herrscher of Thunder turned around and found that He Chengrui, whom she was supposed to kill, was standing there unharmed.

"I ask, you answer, understand?"

The Herrscher of Thunder did not speak, but gave her answer through her actions.

She rushed towards He Chengrui and swung her knife with all her might, but missed completely.

"Naughty children will suffer a bit."

"Killer Queen"

A sharp pain shot through her as the Herrscher of Thunder discovered that her left leg had vanished.

"Heh, so heartless, actually going after Mei?"

"Who told you this is Mei's body?"

"In this illusion, there is only you and me, and the dead enemy."

"Also, when you touched Mei's body, your mind was also planted with a bomb."

"Want to go again?" He Chengrui asked with a smile, raising his right hand and extending his thumb.

"..." The Herrscher of Thunder fell silent. After a while, she chose to compromise.

"Very good. A man who knows the times is a hero."

"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer."
