I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Raven recalled the design of Mei's knife, which gave her a strangely familiar feeling, and the image of a man flashed through her mind—Sky Wizard.

Although she hadn't seen him since Sky City, Raven would never forget his comical face!

Although what she saw was blurry, she felt that the shape of the knife was the same as that of the comical swordsman's knife, and she couldn't make out the patterns very clearly.

"So, Raiden Mei, can I borrow this sword to take a look?" Raven asked, extending her hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Raven wanted to get Mei's knife again to confirm whether it was indeed the knife belonging to Sky Wicked.

"No way," Mei refused outright.

"Huh? Why?" the raven asked, puzzled.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to see it, you have to exchange it for something I'm interested in." Mei's lips curled up slightly as she quietly watched Raven, anticipating her next move.

"Heh, fine, don't give it to me then." Raven rolled her eyes at Mei. Then she continued:

"Alright, let's get down to business, Raiden Mei. It's time to contribute your strength to World Serpent."

"According to the Jackal, the next major collapse is coming soon."

"By the way, where's Jackal? I haven't seen her for days."

Mei suddenly asked, because the jackal's dog head mask was still with her, and she hadn't had a chance to return it. Come to think of it, that mask was quite fun; the two eyes even glowed!

“Jackal? She told me she didn’t want to see you, so she asked me to come and tell you.”

Raven explained that she remembered the jackal was covered in bandages, and she didn't know where he had gotten injured. When they suggested going to find Raiden Mei together, he looked reluctant and refused to go, so she ended up coming by herself.

"Really? That's a real shame. Please continue."

"In the next Honkai, a Herrscher just like you will be born. In short, the most important part of the Stigmata evolution is to obtain all the Herrschers."

“Now that the Lord has important matters to attend to and is unable to personally command, the two of us will take over.”

As he spoke, Raven pulled out a box several tens of centimeters long from behind him. Its black and gold surface was reminiscent of the mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

"What is this?" Mei asked, tapping the surface of the box.

The raven explained:

"According to Jackal, this seems to be an imaginary number interferometer. Jackal said it was called something like 'Power of the Underworld'?"

"Wait, Raiden Mei! What are you doing?!"

Raven said with a look of surprise, only to see that Mei had already taken out the device and was fiddling with it with her hands.

"Put it down quickly! Don't break it! The jackal said its materials are hard to come by, and there are only eight left so far, so we must use them with care!"

Raven said anxiously, while trying to snatch it from Mei's hand.

"Hey? Don't be so hasty, Raven. I'm just looking, it's not like I'm not going to give it back to you."

"Alright, alright, here you go."

Sailor Mei threw the Power of the Underworld into the distance, where it traced a graceful arc in the air.

"Raiden Mei!!!"

The raven roared, its pupils dilating as it watched the Staff of the Underworld about to fall to the ground. It immediately transformed into a black shadow and carefully caught it, then placed it inside the box.

Raven turned around and glared fiercely at Mei.

"Raiden Mei, do you know how much salary you're going to dock for breaking this thing?!"

"Alright, Boom Boom, don't be angry. When are we leaving?" Mei asked nonchalantly. Even without the Staff of the Underworld, she was strong enough to easily defeat any Herrscher, except for the End of the World, of course.

Just then, a noisy electrical sound, accompanied by a slight vibration, came from both sides of the passageway.

"Everyone, one minute ago, the Honkai outbreak occurred in a city called Coral Island in Southeast Asia."

"The Valkyrie Squad of Destiny has been deployed..."

"—Let's get started."

After finishing speaking, the communication ended. Raven turned to Mei and said seriously, "I don't have time to settle scores with you. Let's go now."

“I understand. By the way, Raven, do you want to fly?” Mei suddenly asked.

Raven: “???”

At this moment, the coral island is in a state of utter ruin. The once beautiful and picturesque coral island city has become unrecognizable and dilapidated.

It looked as if it had been ravaged by a massive storm. Even more terrifying, a group of ferocious Honkai Beasts were rampaging across these ruins.

These Honkai Beasts were enormous, emanating a suffocating aura.

In a dark corner, a slightly chubby boy was panting heavily.

"My name is Junben Gongyi. My father used to be a real estate developer in Changkong City, and my mother is a famous model. In short, my family is very wealthy."

"About five years ago, I confessed my feelings to Mei-senpai, but she threw me several meters away with an over-the-shoulder throw, causing the entire floor to crash with a loud 'boom'."

"This matter has already spread, and I, Jun Ben Gong Yi, have lost my right to choose a spouse during my three years at Qian Yu Academy."

"So I asked my parents to let me study in another place and start a new life. My father supported me, and so our family started a new life on Coral Island."

"Fortunately, a year after I left Changkong City, a disaster broke out. I heard that everyone in that city had died. Fortunately, my family had already left by then."

"But... damn it! Why did this disaster strike a city on a coral island?"

Junben Gongyi said unwillingly that he had witnessed his classmates and teachers turn into monsters, but fortunately he managed to fight his way out.

"Fortunately, my parents and mother went abroad on a business trip yesterday. I, Junbengong, must survive!"

Kimimoto Miyaichi darted through the city ruins, dodging the Honkai Beasts as he retreated, unaware that a red mark on his back faintly glowed…

At the point where the Coral Island Bridge collapsed, a large wave of Honkai Beasts was approaching Durandal and Rita.

The next moment, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

"Ho ho ho ho!!!!"

A deafening roar erupted, as if the entire world trembled! Immediately afterward, an enormous, blood-red dragon soared into the sky, roaring and baring its fangs. Its massive body blotted out the sun, emanating a chilling aura.

Suddenly, a dazzling crimson lightning bolt streaked across the sky, like a sword cleaving the heavens, striking directly at the surging horde of Honkai beasts below. This lightning contained boundless power; wherever it passed, space seemed to be torn apart, unleashing a violent energy storm.

When the lightning dissipated, leaving behind a charred crater, the shadow of the Honkai Beast had vanished.

"Kurigara!"
