I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Within the dim imaginary space—

Dark purple rocks floated everywhere; there was no blue sky or white clouds, no sun, like an unfathomable abyss, everything was so deathly still…

"Where...where is this?" Himeko looked around when she suddenly heard the sound of high heels behind her.

"Heh, do you think you can escape?" The Herrscher of the Void shrugged, her ethereal voice ringing out, her eyes filled with disdain.

Himeko pointed her fiery red greatsword at the Herrscher of the Void without any hesitation, and said with high fighting spirit, "Hmph! I've been waiting for you for a long time, you damn Herrscher!"

"Are you ready to face death?☆" As the Herrscher of the Void finished speaking, she used her powerful attack to instantly pull Himeko in front of her.

"Struggle as hard as you can...☆" After the Herrscher of the Void finished speaking, she gently waved her right hand, and Himeko's figure flew backward like a cannonball.

An imaginary cube appeared instantly behind her, and Himeko slammed it hard onto the cube's surface.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the huge imaginary cube.

However, the Herrscher of the Void's attack did not stop. In an instant, spatial cubes surged out again, firmly enveloping Himeko within them.

The Herrscher of the Void snapped her fingers again, and the Imaginary Cubes rotated and squeezed, bursting out intense sparks.

Then, the four sub-void transformations behind the Herrscher of the Void spiraled and compressed into a plane.

Finally, the Herrscher of the Void waved her right hand, and the compressed Sub-Void attacked Himeko at an unimaginable speed.

In that instant, a sword crackling with lightning descended from the sky, the terrifying lightning turning the two spears that had been pressing down into the air into dust that scattered in the air.

Then a bolt of lightning struck the imaginary cube, and the surface cracked more and more until it shattered, falling to the ground piece by piece, allowing Himeko to escape.

Himeko knelt on the ground, looking up at the figure descending from the sky, her eyes filled with shock.

"Mei...Mei?! What are you doing here?" Himeko was both surprised and confused. Why was Mei here?

Mei was still wearing the Crimson Armor, but her aura was several times stronger than before.

"Why am I here? Maybe it's because I don't want to see anything regrettable happen..." Mei said, turning around as a black sword appeared in her hand.

No, at this moment it can no longer be called a black blade. Purple blade patterns are engraved on it, and nearly half of the entire blade is purple. Now this blade is called—Purple Lightning.

As Mei spoke, she took out a can of Himeko's favorite beer from Shiden's storage space and handed it to her.

Himeko, still a little dazed, took the beer, not understanding what was going on. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Mei say, "Himeko-neechan, take a sip! It'll be served after you take a sip!"

Seeing Mei's urging, Himeko had no choice but to quickly open the bottle and take a swig.

"Yes... this is the taste." Himeko reminisced about the delicious flavor.

"So, Mei, why are you here?" Himeko had already put down her beer, but she was still very concerned about this question.

"Let's talk about Himeko later. Let's bring Kiana back first," Mei said, her sword crackling with lightning.

Himeko gripped her greatsword tightly, pointing it at the Herrscher of the Void with a solemn expression.

"Heh, two ants! One more won't matter, so—die~" The Herrscher of the Void's eyes were filled with coldness.

At the same time, countless spaces opened up around Mei and Himeko, and a dense barrage of sub-space spears shot towards them.

Himeko looked at the incoming attack and was about to make a move when suddenly a flash of lightning appeared. Just as the attack was about to reach them, the Spear of the Void seemed to disappear from their sight.

"The stars shift and the constellations change"

Mei gripped the hilt of her sword, and with a twist of the blade, spatial ripples appeared. The Void Spear she had just absorbed shot out in front of Mei, attacking the Herrscher of the Void.

"What?" The Herrscher of the Void was surprised. She hurriedly opened the Imaginary Space to absorb all the attack and transferred it to another location. In an instant, the stone wall exploded violently, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

"Tsk, this move really consumes a lot of mental energy, I should use it less often..." Mei sighed as she felt her mental state decline.

Himeko looked at Mei with some surprise. It seemed that Mei had grown a lot and become much stronger.

"Tch... Don't get too cocky!" The Herrscher of the Void raised her hand, and an imaginary cube appeared instantly.

"Himeko-nee, I know you have a secret weapon. I'll cover you, you go quickly... Ah!" Mei was attacked before she could finish speaking.

With a loud "bang," Mei was sent flying dozens of meters away, leaving a deep scratch on the ground.

Before Mei could react, two imaginary cubes suddenly appeared on the left and right sides, clamping Mei tightly and squeezing and deforming her continuously.

A burst of lightning erupted, the imaginary cube shattered instantly, and purple lightning surged around Mei, greatly increasing her movement speed.

Purple lightning bolts constantly weaved through the attacks, each lightning blade shattering the attacks completely.

Himeko, meanwhile, charged swiftly toward the Herrscher of the Void, wielding her greatsword.

"Tsk, die!" The Herrscher of the Void's beautiful face twisted with rage.

Himeko was unable to dodge in time and was trapped by two imaginary cubes that fell from the sky.

The Herrscher of the Void wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. With a flick of her right hand, she pulled forward and backward, and tiny purple imaginary cubes condensed in her hand, forming one, two, three purple spatial gates that appeared in front of her.

"Himeko, watch out!" Mei shouted, unleashing her lightning to its maximum as she rushed towards Himeko.

The imaginary cube in the Herrscher of the Void's hand has been compressed to its limit, and the red light spot exudes destructive power.

The Herrscher of the Void, as if wielding a longbow, aimed at Himeko and unleashed the compressed imaginary cube with all her might.

"Boom!" A tremendous sound rang out, and a powerful blast of air exploded, destroying everything on the ground and creating a deep trench.

Mei had already arrived at the point of attack, in front of Himeko, and Shiden's spatial domain was already too late to open.

Mei held the sword horizontally in front of her chest as the attack came. In that instant, the violent impact transmitted through the blade to her hands, and Mei's arms instantly fractured, with a "crackling" sound audible within her hands. Mei used all her strength to deflect the attack.

The immense force caused the veins in his hands to burst, and blood to seep from his skin.

Mei's gaze was resolute. Her powerful strength caused her body to keep moving backward. Her Valkyrie armor was already damaged, and her tender white feet were scraped raw and bloody from the ground.

She blocked it! However, it seemed that this had already used up all of Mei's strength.

"Pfft!" Mei spat out a mouthful of blood; the powerful impact had caused her internal injuries.

"Oh no, I'm feeling a bit dizzy... No! I have to hold on... But... we're here now, Himeko should be alright, right?..." Mei muttered to herself, clutching her chest and looking ahead.

Himeko, on the other side, is currently at full health thanks to Mei's help. At this moment, she also broke free from her restraints and activated the armor's liberated form.

The armor on his body flew towards the greatsword, bursting into intense flames.

Himeko leaped into the air and slashed fiercely at the Herrscher of the Void, whose Void Spear transformed into a long whip for defense.

"boom"

"Bang"

"boom"

Sparks of light erupted as Himeko wielded her greatsword relentlessly, slashing it once, twice, three times! She shattered the Void Spears of the Herrscher of the Void one by one.

"Damn it!" The Herrscher of the Void went completely berserk, countless void energies condensing in her hands, swirling and intersecting, and the pitch-black drill hurtling towards Himeko.

With a crisp sound, Himeko was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a dent, while her greatsword nearly fell from her hand.

Mei, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly panicked.

"No way, no way, we still can't win?"

"The PV in the story is so fake! Wasn't the battle supposed to end in just a few moves? How come in the real Honkai Impact 3rd, this intense battle must have lasted at least a hundred moves? Why wasn't the PV released?!" Mei kept complaining in her mind.

"Cough cough... I won't give up!" Himeko's armor fell off, revealing red wings of light. She then leaped into the air.

The red flames on Himeko's greatsword grew even more intense, turning the entire sky into a sea of ​​fire.

One by one, important people appeared in Himeko's mind—the whole family of St. Freya. They called her name over and over again: Mei, Theresa, Fu Hua, Bronya, and finally, Kiana…

"Ah!!!" Himeko unleashed her power and launched her final attack, slashing fiercely down at the Herrscher of the Void from high above!

The flames are burning, but life is slipping away...

"Damn ants!" The Herrscher of the Void unleashed all her power, and a giant black drill formed from imaginary energy hurtled toward Himeko at incredible speed!

The moment the two attacks collided, the explosive energy swept across the surroundings, and for a moment it seemed as if time itself had stopped flowing.

The flames erupted once again with an even more dazzling light, just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to unleash her power.

A purple blade, crackling with lightning, flew toward her at incredible speed.

With a loud "boom," several Void Spears shattered into fragments, and the Herrscher of the Void was nearly knocked to the ground.

"Tsk, damn it!"

The Herrscher of the Void followed the gaze and saw that it was Mei who had launched the attack!

"The rest is up to you, Himeko..." Mei said, slumping down on the ground.

At that moment, Himeko's attack was already close, forcing the Herrscher of the Void to charge up again, but... it was too late...

The raging flames enveloped the Herrscher of the Void's entire field of vision, and the overwhelming heat made her close her eyes in fear, her body trembling slightly.

With a crisp metallic clang, Himeko, wielding her greatsword, swung it down at her.

"Huh?" The pain the Herrscher of the Void had imagined did not come. She opened her eyes and saw a greatsword stuck in her back.

"Kiana... this... is... the final lesson..." Himeko said weakly.

Seeing this from a distance, Mei clutched her chest and muttered to herself.

"Cough... Himeko... she shouldn't be dead, right?"

Just as Mei was thinking this, Himeko's figure suddenly flew backward from the front.

"Himeko!" Mei's eyes welled up with tears as she leaped up and caught Himeko in mid-air.

"Ugh, ah!" Mei hugged Himeko tightly, using her back as a cushion as she slammed to the ground.

Once they had landed completely, Mei called out anxiously, "Himeko! Himeko! Wake up!"

Mei kept shaking Himeko's body, but Himeko showed no signs of waking up. Having no other option, Mei slapped Himeko's face several times.

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

A crisp slap rang out, and Himeko's face became slightly red and swollen. Suddenly, Mei thought of something and placed her finger on Himeko's nose.

"Still breathing!"

Then Mei summoned the Purple Lightning Blade and quickly used it to remove the armor on Himeko's chest, then placed her hand on Himeko's right chest.

"thump"

"thump"

"thump"

"Thank goodness, there's still a heartbeat! Waaah... She's still alive... Himeko!" Mei cried tears of joy, hugging Himeko tightly and sobbing softly against her chest.

"Waaah... It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy..." Mei cried out, tears streaming down her face.

"Ugh... Ahhh!" A black and red landscape resembling trees appeared behind the Herrscher of the Void, covered with grotesque purple eyes. However, those eyes were disappearing one by one until they vanished completely.

Mei discovers that the imaginary space around her is beginning to crumble, the azure sky is reappearing, and the ground beneath her feet is disintegrating.

"Oh no, we can't stay here any longer!" Mei immediately picked up Himeko, took out a rope from the Purple Lightning Blade space, and tightly locked her to her back.

Mei glanced back in the direction of the Herrscher of the Void; at this distance, there was no way to save her...

"Tsk... Kiana... See you in Sky City..."

Finally, the ground beneath Mei's feet disappeared, and she fell into the sea with Himeko.

…………

"Glug glug, um... wow!" Mei emerged from the water and kept splashing the surface of the sea.

Then, he took out a hovercraft from the Purple Lightning Blade space, struggled to climb onto it, untied the ropes binding him, put Himeko down, and lay on the ground panting heavily.

"Phew~ Luckily, when I have nothing to do, I buy all sorts of things and stuff them into this space. Hey, I remember there was an airplane in there too..."

"By the way, contact Theresa immediately. Himeko is badly injured and needs immediate treatment!"

Mei then took out a communicator from her spatial storage and contacted Theresa to send someone to rescue her.

Finally, Himeko and Mei, who were adrift at sea, were brought back to the Hyperion by the rescue team. Himeko received emergency treatment immediately, but whether she was out of danger remained unknown.

Mei was also sent for treatment, but to the puzzling of the medical staff, Mei's injuries healed very quickly and without leaving any scars, which was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Finally, at the request of her attending physician (who had gained weight), Mei donated a portion of her blood for her research.

Until a few days later—

"What! Mei-neechan, you're leaving?" Bronya asked, confused.

“Yes, after experiencing so much, and with the world being so big, I want to go see it,” Mei said to Bronya with a smile.

Bronya: ? ? ?

"Ahem...ahem...Bronya, I have something I need to do, which is to say goodbye to you." Mei smiled awkwardly, then spoke again.

Bronya looked at Mei and said with some disappointment, "Bronya understands, Mei-neechan, take care."

"Yes, it's just a temporary separation. We'll meet again someday," Mei said, gently patting Bronya's head to comfort her. It's a pity that the twin-turbocharged engine is now only a single-turbocharged one...

"By the way, if the headmaster asks about my whereabouts, just say that I want to live a normal life and have quietly left."

"Also, if Himeko wakes up, please give her my regards~"

Mei made a final request to Bronya, who nodded in understanding.

Finally, Mei's departing figure grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, in Bronya's eyes, until it disappeared completely...

At that moment, Mei was speeding along the road on her blue, fiery motorcycle, gusts of cold wind whipping her trench coat up and making a rustling sound.

"Kiana, I've come to find you! Destination: Sky City, let's go!"

With the roar of the engine, Mei embarked on her journey to Sky City.
