As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

“I knew it.” Raiden Mei floated up from the ground, the scratches on her chest being continuously repaired by Honkai energy. “I had my suspicions before. She has strong regenerative abilities, but she is somewhat weak in front of my lightning.”

"Looks like you're not all-powerful after all, little thing." Raiden Mei sneered, and an even denser field of lightning began to gather around her body, distorting the air in the entire Changkong City.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan's heart sank. Raiden Mei's Herrscher form possessed extremely strong lightning manipulation abilities, while the symbiote's defense against lightning was indeed relatively weak.

Before, it was alright because Raiden Mei was holding her back, so she could hold on. But now... if she continues to fight head-on, she might really not be able to take it.

"Bronya, take Kiana and retreat first!" Chenyuan shouted, while quickly mobilizing the power of the symbiote to form a thick barrier around his body to resist the impending lightning strike.

“Brother Chenyuan…” Bronya hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, quickly picked up the unconscious Kiana, and retreated. She understood that without her Heavy Bunny, Kiana would only be a burden here.

At the same time, Himeko held her greatsword horizontally, watching Raiden Mei's movements warily.

"Trying to escape? Did you ask me first!" Raiden Mei sneered, the surrounding lightning growing denser, as if the entire Changkong City was enveloped by her power.

'This is going to be amplified!' Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Himeko, who was only using a greatsword for defense, he reached out a tentacle and pulled her into his arms. 'Sorry, my apologies!'

"Little thing, you're quite amusing." 'Raiden Mei' smirked coldly. Her body suddenly levitated in mid-air, the surrounding lightning seeming to come alive, swirling around her to form a massive vortex. 'But unfortunately, I'm tired of playing!'

As the voice of 'Raiden Mei' faded, the lightning vortex suddenly expanded, and the lightning bolts snaked and danced like dragons and snakes, emitting a deafening roar.

Just then, Raiden Mei's figure suddenly disappeared into the lightning vortex, followed by bolts of lightning shooting towards the ground like arrows, instantly turning the surrounding buildings to ashes.

Lightning struck the shield that Chen Yuan had created with the symbiote, producing a piercing burning sound. Chen Yuan's body trembled violently, almost torn apart by the force, but he still held Himeko tightly in his arms.

The symbiote that was coexisting with Kuroki was slowly falling off Chenyuan's body without Chenyuan even noticing. As the liquid fell to the ground, it gradually soaked into Himeko's body.

"That's it. Little thing, I had a lot of fun." As if she had foreseen the victory, 'Raiden Mei' reappeared in the vortex. She snapped her fingers lightly, and the lightning vortex continued to shrink, shaping into a lightning blade.

The lightning blade trembled slightly in the air, like the claws of some ferocious beast, its gaze fixed on Chen Yuan and Himeko, who were about to become its ambush targets. The surrounding air was filled with a scorching and oppressive atmosphere, heralding the impending destruction.

"See, this is my power." Raiden Mei's sneer became more pronounced. With a gentle wave of her hand, the lightning blade transformed into a stream of light, pointing directly at Chen Yuan and Himeko.

"Hold on, damn it!" With Chen Yuan's roar, the shield rapidly thickened in front of him. Just then, the lightning blade suddenly struck, carrying the merciless power of lightning, and slammed hard into the shield.

"Little brother, don't ignore your older sister!" Himeko gritted her teeth, looking at Chenyuan struggling to stay afloat. The symbiote covering her body rapidly expanded, her pupils constantly turning gray-black. She stood up and placed her hands on the shield. "Your older sister is strong too!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and the energy of lightning surged into the shield like a tidal wave, instantly forcing Chen Yuan's knees to the ground. Large patches of his symbiotic skin receded, and finally, with another explosion, the area where Chen Yuan and Himeko were located was engulfed in smoke.

"Is it over? It really is..." Before she could finish speaking, a figure rushed out of the smoke. Before 'Raiden Mei' could react, a sharp claw grabbed her face and slammed her to the ground.

"Ughhhhhhhh!" As the smoke cleared, Chen Yuan's entire body was revealed to be pure black, with only a pair of pure white pupils visible on his face. Thick black energy swirled around his body.

'This power...this power...it's amazing!' After wrapping the unconscious Kuroki in the symbiote, she looked at 'Raiden Mei' beneath her and clenched her hands tightly.

Feeling the power surging within him, Chen Yuan felt that the whole world was now his! Although he knew he was probably getting a little carried away.

'Little brother, can you explain this to your older sister?' Himeko was completely confused. She had just subconsciously felt that she should do it, but she didn't expect that the next second Chenyuan would directly coexist with her.

'If it were just that, I could accept it, but this feeling...' Himeko felt her power increasing exponentially, while her internal injuries were being repaired.

'So that's how it is, perfect adaptability, no wonder it has such power,' Chen Yuan thought to himself. 'Terrifying, utterly terrifying, but I like it.'

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan quickly descended, step by step walking to 'Raiden Mei', extending tentacles from her back to wrap around her neck and lifting her up.

The latter was somewhat dazed by the attack, and when he came to his senses, he found himself controlled by Chen Yuan. The power of a Herrscher was unable to break free from the opponent's restraints in a short time. Looking up at the completely changed Chen Yuan before him, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

She seemed to have seen this scene before. The first time she defeated Chen Yuan, he symbiotically possessed Kiana and successfully turned the tables on her. This was the second time.

"You bastard..." Raiden Mei's tone was tinged with disbelief, "You, you actually..."

Chen Yuan didn't answer; he simply smiled, a smile tinged with cruelty and madness. The symbiote within him had been fully unleashed, and his strength, speed, and perception had all reached their peak at this moment.

"How dare you look down on me!" 'Raiden Mei's' eyes flashed with electricity, her words filled with deep rage. Along with her fury, the lightning in the sky gradually began to merge, and then a massive beam of light was about to crash down upon the two of them.

Chen Yuan stared at the beam of light and abruptly retreated. Although he had lightning resistance, he wasn't immune, and the pain was still there.

"I will show you that my power is unmatched!" she said through gritted teeth. The entire sky seemed to darken, and the energy of lightning gathered around her, forming an unstoppable thunderstorm.

The storm rapidly expanded from its center, 'Raiden Mei', causing surrounding buildings to collapse, the earth to be turned upside down, and trees to be uprooted. Dust and fate flickered in and out of sight amidst this thunderstorm.

"Oh dear, this is not good..." Chen Yuan muttered to himself as the black aura surrounding him gradually condensed in his hand, eventually transforming into an enormous black giant sword.

Chen Yuan brandished his greatsword, its tip pointing to the sky, and slashed fiercely. Several jet-black blades shot out from the greatsword, like sharp blades in the night, directly meeting the thunderstorm.

The two forces collided in mid-air, instantly erupting in a dazzling light. The aftershocks of the explosion swept across the surrounding area like a tsunami, completely destroying the surrounding buildings. Dust billowed, and the sounds of thunder and wind intertwined, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

Chen Yuan steadied himself and swung his greatsword once more, unleashing several black sword energies that slashed relentlessly towards the center of the thunderstorm. Each strike was accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, as if it were tearing the entire space apart.

"Hmph." Raiden Mei's voice came from within the thunderstorm, her figure appearing and disappearing under the cover of lightning. Chen Yuan could sense that her power was constantly increasing, seemingly inexhaustible.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, realizing that with his current power, he probably couldn't suppress 'Raiden Mei'. He then mobilized all the power within his body, causing the surrounding black energy to thicken even more, and dark wings, almost tangible, slowly unfurled.

"That's it!" The black giant sword suddenly grew to tens of meters in length. Chen Yuan gripped the sword tightly, gathered all his strength at the tip, and slashed forward. The huge black sword energy, like the dawn breaking, pierced the sky and rushed straight to the center of the thunderstorm.

The sword energy and the thunderstorm met in mid-air, and their power exploded instantly, like two torrents colliding in the sky. The entire Changkong City trembled at that moment.

The aftershocks of the explosion spread in all directions, turning buildings into ruins, dust flying everywhere, and even the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a deafening roar.

Under the impact of this force, Raiden Mei's thunderstorm gradually dissipated, and her figure was exposed to Chen Yuan's sight.

“You…you actually…” Raiden Mei’s voice trembled slightly. She couldn’t believe that she had been defeated by such a small thing.

Seizing the opportunity, while 'Raiden Mei' was momentarily stunned, Chen Yuan pushed off with both legs and rushed towards the latter at an extremely fast speed. Countless tentacles extended from his body and bound 'Raiden Mei's' limbs.

"Give me back Raiden Mei!!" He clenched his right fist, widening it several times in mid-air before slamming it into 'Raiden Mei's' face. "Take this, you bastard, the Friendship-Breaking Fist!"
