Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

"The Hyperion is ready. We'll begin combat as soon as Himeko and the others give the signal," Theresa said to the remaining crew.

“Mei, before we go on, I need to tell you something. I’ve deactivated the bomb’s detonation system, so it won’t work in your body anymore. But at the same time, the Third Herrscher’s consciousness will begin to awaken. Don’t force yourself; you can’t fully control that power yet,” Theresa said.

"Oh, Theresa, the four of us are still here. The Third Herrscher wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Just Long Qiao alone can suppress the Third Herrscher," Men Mo said, waving his hand.

"Not to mention that Menmo has Long Qiao's power, and the power of the rest of us is comparable to Long Qiao's," Qingmo said.

"Thank you for your concern, Dean," Mei replied.

“You don’t need to call me Dean anymore, just call me Theresa. I am now a traitor to Schicksal, and I am no longer the Dean of St. Freya,” Theresa said.

“…I’m sorry, because of my recklessness, I dragged you all into this,” Theresa apologized.

"Hey, it's no big deal. We barged in here ourselves, and even if you're a traitor to destiny, you're still our headmaster," Men Mo said.

“Menmo is right,” Qingmo said.

"Two years ago, you allowed me, a Herrscher, to enter St. Freya Academy and gave me a place to stay. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be standing here today as a Valkyrie," Mei said.

"Two years already? Time flies..." Theresa said with a sigh.

“I used to be terrified of the Herrscher within me. I was afraid it would hurt the people around me, but now I don’t want to run away anymore. I want to use this power to protect the people I want to protect,” Mei said.

"Okay, well said! Mei, you don't need to worry too much. If it gets out of control, any one of the four of us can suppress the power within you." Menmo patted Mei's head and laughed.

"Mei...everyone..."

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation. The barrier is starting to react, but Tesla and the others' special training has been interrupted," Einstein Communications reported.

"...Understood. Everyone, prepare for attack and begin the operation," Theresa gave the order.

"Okay! Get ready, brothers!" Qingmo said with a fierce fighting spirit as he stood at the front, his left hand in a palm and his right hand in a fist, clashing together.

This was followed by a large number of Honkai Beast reactions around the Hyperion. Due to the removal of the barrier, the Honkai Beasts began to gather towards the Hyperion. Everyone transformed into their Knight forms again. Zhang Qing and Yun Shan summoned their own summoned beasts to help clear the Honkai Beasts, while Men Mo and the others cleared the Honkai Beasts from the deck all the way down to the lower level.

"The defensive barrier has been completely removed, and the Hyperion will be able to reach the top of the laboratory soon."

"No, that's not right, the defenses have suddenly become weaker," Qingmo suddenly said.

“It’s like…it’s like it was done on purpose!” Theresa said, frowning.

Suddenly the Hyperion began to shake violently, and alarms sounded.

"What happened?" Zhang Qing and Yunshan ran over after clearing out the swarms of enemies and asked.

“Strong spatial fluctuations were detected.”

Suddenly, Mei fell backward uncontrollably—

When Mei opened her eyes again, she was already being hugged by Kiana, whose hair was down.

"Kiana? Are you alright, Kiana?" Mei asked.

"I'm fine, I'm great, it's like I've been reborn," Kiana replied, her pupils turning gold and her voice becoming deeper.

"Bullshit!" With a curse, Men Mo and the others ran over.

“I’m so glad you were here with me when I woke up. Now, merge with me again, my other half,” said the Herrscher of the Void.

"The Herrscher of the Void has awakened..." Qingmo said calmly, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Mei, who was standing to the side, suddenly displayed the power of a Herrscher.

"It's rare to see the Third Herrscher fighting alongside us," Yunshan said jokingly.

"Alright, brothers, get your gear ready," Qingmo said.

"Henshin! x4"

"KamenRide! Decade!"

"Eternal!"

"Turn Up!"

"Cross-Z Dragon! Are you ready? Wake up burning! Get CROSS-Z DRAGON! Yeah!"

"Holy crap! Such a long sound effect!" Men Mo exclaimed in astonishment.

"We've been using the Dragon Rider for so long, let's get a new one."

The Herrscher of the Void looked at the four knights in front of her and couldn't help but think of the white-haired boy who had sealed her away for years. She said angrily, "If I remember correctly, you guys are called Kamen Riders, right? You bastards!"

"Oh, looks like Long Qiao broke your defenses." Bronya mocked after hearing the Herrscher of the Void's quote about breaking her defenses.

"Hahahaha, then I'll show you something else good..." Just as the Herrscher of the Void was puzzled, Menmo took out a card, and the Herrscher of the Void became furious when she saw the armor on the card.

"KamenRide! Faiz! Complete!"

As she inserted the card into the driver, the Herrscher of the Void saw the figure of the person she had wanted to kill day and night, causing her to clench her fists.

"Long Qiao... Long Qiao... Long Qiao!!!" the Herrscher of the Void shouted angrily, and then rushed towards Men Mo.

"Good!" Faiz's eyepatch shone brightly, and then he launched a spinning kick at the Herrscher of the Void. Men Mo kicked the Herrscher of the Void away with one kick. Although the Herrscher of the Void was on guard for a moment, she was still knocked back several meters.

After the Herrscher of the Void regained her footing, she was met with a punch from Zhang Qing and Yun Shan. The Herrscher of the Void hurriedly blocked it, and then Qing Mo kicked her in the abdomen.

"Damn it!"

"Ha, this is our four-person, exhilarating combo!" Men Mo said smugly, pointing his right thumb at himself.

Afterwards, Mei walked towards the Herrscher of the Void who had fallen to the ground, and then reached out her right hand to stroke Kiana's face.

“Kiana…” Mei said gently.

Upon hearing Mei's words, Kiana's consciousness took over, and the real Kiana temporarily recovered.

"That's why they're the real love," Qingmo said with a smile.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. The scattered light particles around the Herrscher of the Void suddenly merged into a small black hole, from which a Temple-class Honkai Beast emerged and lunged at Mei. Seeing that things were not going well, Menmo quickly transformed into Kabuto form, activated his speed boost, and hurriedly retreated.

Just as everyone was preparing to attack again, suddenly many mechs appeared from behind them and attacked the Herrscher of the Void.

"So many mechs..." Bronya exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh yeah, the time for anti-entropy to go bankrupt has come,” Qingmo remarked.

Meanwhile, numerous small black holes appeared behind the Herrscher of the Void, from which many Honkai Beasts emerged, signaling the imminent outbreak of a decisive battle.
