Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

The scene returns to Theresa—

After experiencing a series of events, Theresa confronted Higokumaru alongside Yae Sakura. Theresa's body outside was also manipulated into the Sakura Rondo form to fight the others. Then, Kiyoshi's powerful attack easily knocked out Theresa, who had just finished Sakura Rondo.

Just as Theresa and the unconscious Yae Sakura were about to be eliminated by Himeko, Mei and Monmo blocked the attack from within the Stigmata Space.

"Phew, the headmaster finally found you," Mei said.

"Mei? Menmo?! What are you doing here?" Theresa asked in confusion.

"Let's talk about these issues later. We need to deal with the enemy in front of us first." After transforming into Decade, Menmo took out his Ride Card Sword.

"Heh... Two more people? So what! You still can't change anything, and you'll all die here!"

Mei faced Hiyomaru and slashed directly at his claws with her sword.

"What?! The blade can't even cut through?"

Then came Hiyomaru's claws, which were blocked by Menmo. After deflecting the attack, Menmo turned and slashed at Hiyomaru's body, but to Menmo's surprise, his attack only managed to scratch Hiyomaru's skin.

"Tch, only a minor scratch?"

"Oh, not bad, you actually managed to scratch me a little," said Hiyomaru, looking at his injury.

"Hmph! Although I don't know how you got in, your attacks won't be able to defeat me in this Sacred Mark space that I control!" Hishimaru roared.

"Ha... Idiot, you think you can defeat me?"

"Then I'll show you the power I've just gained!" With that, Hiyori roared to the sky, summoning a multitude of alien insects and Orphnochs.

"What?! How could you possibly summon them? This is hopeless! Damn it, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it," Men Mo said.

He then took a Faiz card from the card case at his waist and inserted it into his belt.

【KamenRide! Faiz!】

With a leap, Decade transformed into Faiz, except his belt remained unchanged.

"Menmo turned into Qiao?" Theresa wondered.

"No, I only borrowed his form power. I haven't even used the Faiz form yet. Let me have a go," Menmo said arrogantly, then took out a weapon card and summoned the Faiz Blade.

He then charged straight at the monster horde, instantly obliterating an Orphnoch with a single strike. Menmo fought with increasing ferocity, gradually eliminating wave after wave of Orphnochs and Zerg.

However, before Menmo could even get his fill of hacking and slashing, some of the alien insects began to molt, activating their Time-Ascending state and knocking Menmo, who was enjoying his fight, to the ground, thus deactivating his transformation.

"Damn it! You guys have no sportsmanship! You attacked me while you were in your Ascended form! If I weren't weak enough to fight, I would have slashed you all to pieces!" Men Mo, who had been helped up, cursed while clutching his chest.

"Hmph! Martial virtue? Why should we talk about martial virtue? We're monsters! And once I destroy those two's consciousness, this body will be mine!" Hiyori led the swarm of alien insects slowly towards Theresa and her group, then launched an attack on Theresa.

"It's time to send you on your way." With a single claw strike, Hiyomaru severely injured Mei and Monmo, but the cross-shaped necklace around Mei's neck also broke.

"Mei! Menmo! Damn it, is this... the end?" Theresa kept her eyes tightly shut.

Then, an unexpected event occurred: Mei's broken cross necklace floated to Theresa's side, then emitted a bright light before dimming and landing on Yae Sakura's leg.

"Huh? What happened?" Menmo asked, clutching his chest.

"W-what? No, this is impossible! Why are you here?!" Hishimaru exclaimed in terror.

"It's you... So, you've always been by my side, always protecting me, never... leaving." Yae Sakura picked up the cross that had fallen on her lap and wept. Her tears dripped onto the cross necklace, emitting a bright, intense light.

Suddenly a huge cross appeared in front of everyone.

Theresa stood up again, touched Judas in front of her, and awakened her Valkyrie armor.

[A Hymn of Divine Grace!]

Then another booming sound was heard, and everyone looked around.

"What's that sound?" Theresa looked around but couldn't see anything.

"The sound of an engine? Looks like he's here. I can rest for a bit." Menmo began to relax.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Mei and Theresa were both puzzled.

"Mei, have you forgotten the other person who came in with us?" Menmo said with a smile.

"Another person? Could it be a coincidence?!"

"Coincidentally? He came with you too?"

"nature"

Suddenly, a figure on a motorcycle appeared in the distance, getting closer and closer to the group.

The suddenly appearing figure flew up and crashed into Hiyomaru, knocking him to the ground. The figure then stopped, stepped down, and slowly raised its right hand, pointing a single finger to the sky, before turning around to face the crowd.

"That figure is... Kabuto? Then it really should end the battle now," Menmo said.

Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Long Qiao, who had been missing for some time. Long Qiao then walked up to Men Mo and extended her hand to him.

"Can you still fight?"

"Cough cough, of course."

"Alright, let's show them what we're made of. You and the others go fight Scarlet Prison Maru, I'll handle these alien insects."

"Can it be done?"

"Grandma once said that boys can't say no." Then Long Qiao took the lead and charged towards the swarm of alien insects.

"Then it's up to you." Menmo then transformed back into Kamen Rider Decade and, together with Theresa and the others, attacked Hiyori Maru.

----split line----

"Hey! You bunch of trash, let me have some fun with you, Zerg..."

"Clock up!" Long Qiao then patted the button on his waist and entered Time Rise. The molted Zerg also entered Time Rise. Within the Time Rise domain, Long Qiao took out the Kabuto drill bit (also called the bombing drill bit) and fired it at the Zerg swarm that had not yet molted.

The instant the missile was launched, numerous small beetles suddenly emerged from the bombardment drill bit. These beetles attacked the unmolted alien insects, quickly eliminating them. Then, Long Qiao took out his kunai gun and unleashed a barrage of bullets upon the alien insects.

When the alien insects tried to attack Long Qiao, Long Qiao dodged them again.

"Grandma once said that only when your evasion skill is maxed out can you effectively launch firepower attacks and suppress enemy forces."

Before Long Qiao could suppress the firepower, most of the alien insects could not withstand the bombardment and began to explode.

"Hahaha, art truly is an explosion!" Long Qiao was so engrossed in the bombardment that she missed a Zergling that was breaking through from the side. Just as the Zergling was about to hit Long Qiao...

"Sizzle—" An axe struck the alien insect.

"Hehehe... Idiot, I'm a being that combines offense and defense. Come on, come and hit me!" Long Qiao directly killed the attacking alien insects.

Then a new round of frenzied bombardment began, using it directly as a machine gun. After all, with the weapon enhanced, as long as you have fast hands, it can be used as a machine gun. So Long Qiao brought out the hand speed of someone who had been single for 18 years.

Under Long Qiao's relentless bombardment, only one Zergling remained. Long Qiao then put away his weapon and turned his back to the last remaining Zergling.

Then the alien insects went berserk and charged towards Long Qiao.

【One! 】

Long Qiao pressed the button on the insect instrument.

【Two! 】

The Zerg had no idea what it would face next.

【Three! 】

"Ridekick!" Long Qiao activated the insect device's antenna, and a current surged from the top of his head to his leg. He then spun around and delivered a spinning kick, effectively eliminating all the alien insects and Orphnochs summoned by Fei Yu Wan (the Orphnoch swarm was defeated by Men Mo). He then gave a small, showy flourish by pointing a single finger to the sky.

Long Qiao also deactivated his Ascension state and looked towards the battle on Men Mo's side. Just then, the battle on Men Mo's side ended, and Fei Yu Wan returned to the box to sleep...

Long Qiao and Men Mo exchanged fist bumps, and Men Mo naturally obtained Kabuto's card...
