I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Mei collapsed weakly to the ground, covered in blood, her eyes lifeless.

At that moment, Mei heard Shadow's voice in her mind: "Hehe, coward~ Is this all you can do?"

"Shadow... Sister... I feel like I'm really going to die soon..." Mei said weakly, her physical condition was very bad.

"So, does that mean you want to give up on Kiana?" Shadow Sister asked rhetorically.

“No! I never thought of giving up on her… but…” Mei’s words came to an abrupt halt.

"But what? In my opinion, you'd be better off suffering less and fighting to the death with the Herrscher of the Void," Shadow Sister mocked.

Mei listened to her words and seemed to be deep in thought.

Yes! If I collapsed now, maybe I wouldn't have to suffer like this?

Even if I give up now, there's still Theresa and Bronya, and Mei doesn't seem to have much of a role in this story anyway.

Furthermore, Himeko is also there to deal with the Herrscher of the Void and awaken Kiana's consciousness, so why is she working so hard?

Maybe if I just lie down now and follow the plot, I won't have to suffer so much. Wouldn't that be better?

Thinking of this, Mei gave a sad smile, the emptiness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a resolute look.

Mei, supporting herself with the black sword, shakily got up from the ground and pointed the sword at the Herrscher of the Void.

Giving up? How could she possibly give up knowing Himeko's fate?! Even if she died, even if she was useless, even if she knew that everything she did was in vain! But she just stood by and watched Himeko sacrifice her life just like in the original story.

I can't do it!!!

"Coward...seems to have grown up? To be able to do this for the person you love, not bad~hehe." Sister Ying laughed subconsciously.

Theresa and Bronya had been knocked to the ground by the Herrscher of the Void, Theresa's white hair stained with blood.

Mei looked at Bronya beside her, whose two swirling, boosted hair had also dwindled to just one strand, and both of their eyes were filled with a sense of despair...

Theresa looked up at the Herrscher of the Void, and just as she was about to say something stubborn, a sound came from behind her.

The sound of footsteps rang out, and a red figure rushed towards the Herrscher of the Void.

“Mei!!!” Theresa shouted.

"Oh~ A desperate struggle?" The Herrscher of the Void looked at Mei charging towards her with disdain and casually thrust two remotely controlled Void Spears at her.

Mei, wielding a black sword, executed a swift spinning slash—

【Hokushin Ittō-ryū】!

The two Void Spears were cleaved in two, and then Mei, wielding a black sword, thrust it at the Herrscher of the Void.

However, Mei's body was tricked into being positioned in mid-air, and Dao Chen stopped in front of the Herrscher of the Void, unable to take another step forward.

At that moment, the Herrscher of the Void looked at Mei and spoke, "Do you want to reclaim this body and save this girl?"

"Really? Really? You're her important partner, her important family member?☆"

The space twisted, Mei's right hand was snapped off, and the black sword fell to the ground.

"Aaaaaah!!!" Mei screamed in agony.

"Listen~ What a beautiful voice~ The girl in this body, did she create precious and sweet memories with you? And what about the unbreakable promise that follows?☆"

"In that case, let me use her body, her hands, to kill you myself!"

"Let the person she cherishes most suffer the most vicious pain and the cruelest death in order to save her. ☆"

"Let the beautiful past crumble bit by bit, leading to disillusionment in despair and sorrow~☆"

"I want the last thing she sees in the eyes of the person she loves—her distorted face and broken limbs."

As she spoke, Mei, who was trapped in mid-air, was instantly pierced through the abdomen by a Void Spear.

"Pfft!!!" A mouthful of blood spurted from Mei's mouth, her eyes bloodshot.

"Family, friends, happiness, future, dreams, hope—she shouldn't have them, doesn't deserve them, and will never have them!"

"You're talking nonsense! Give me back my... cough... cough... Kiana!!!" Mei shouted with all her might, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe, after talking for so long~ let's start with you~" The Herrscher of the Void flicked her finger, and Mei floated towards her.

The Herrscher of the Void, looking at Mei so close to him, couldn't help but smile, stroking Mei's face.

"Coward, I'm sorry, but this time it really is goodbye..." Shadow's voice suddenly rang in Mei's mind.

Even though she is a so-called Herrscher consciousness, why... does she feel reluctant to part with her?

"Wait, could it be... No... Shadow... Sister..." Mei finally couldn't hold back her tears. The pain hadn't made her cry, but the pain of this separation was truly unbearable...

Before Mei could reply to Yingjie, a sharp pain shot through her chest.

"My beloved half-life, my burning soul~ No need to wait any longer, embrace me~☆" the Herrscher of the Void said excitedly.

"Ah...ah!" This pain was even worse than being pierced through the abdomen by the Herrscher of the Void!

A heart-wrenching pain shot through Mei's chest as a gem pierced through her flesh, staining her with blood and gore, before slowly drifting into the hand of the Herrscher of the Void.

Mei seemed to see the purple figure on the gemstone vanish with her own eyes...

After the Herrscher of the Void retrieved the [Gem of Conquest], Mei was thrown through the air like trash, finally crashing to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop, her fate unknown...
