"Disappear, trash."
Her purple eyes filled with ice and fury, Raiden Mei, whose body was now controlled by her Herrscher personality, looked at the super-giant Honkai Beast and spat out ruthless words.
Once a Honkai Beast's size exceeded one hundred meters, only an A-rank Valkyrie could be dispatched to eliminate it. But in the face of the lightning summoned by Herrscher Mei, this super-giant beast, which was close to a hundred meters if not exceeding it, couldn't put up any decent resistance. It was instantly decomposed into countless tiny particles and reduced to ashes.
Unlike other Honkai Beasts that dissipated on their own after being killed, this one was directly decomposed by the violent lightning. There was a significant difference in sequence, demonstrating that incredibly exaggerated power.
Himeko Murata, who was on the Hyperion and had rushed back from another mission due to the large-scale Honkai eruption in Nagazora City, also saw that bolt of lightning. In this pitch-black night, it was simply too obvious.
"Honkai energy readings are surging. All Honkai Beasts and zombies in the vicinity will gather towards the Honkai source. Major, it's not too late to retreat now."
Hearing her subordinate's report, Himeko Murata frowned tightly.
"It had already reached 500 HW, and now it's surging again? Tsk, looks like we really hit the jackpot."
Himeko revealed an expression full of fighting spirit.
"But the word 'retreat' has never been in my dictionary. Ship-wide Condition One battle readiness. Operation start!"
High in the sky, the Hyperion accelerated towards the Honkai source in Nagazora City according to Himeko's order.
On the ground, directly beneath the ME Corp building which was already empty, several large, dark blue mechas burst out of the ground. They smashed directly through the sturdy walls of the building onto the street. Their mechanical feet made a heavy metallic sound different from giant Honkai Beasts when hitting the ground. Despite being huge bodies that looked very clumsy, they now displayed speed beyond imagination, running quickly towards the Honkai source like humans.
Besides them, there were large swathes of zombies and a few slipped-through Honkai Beasts. If one looked down from above Nagazora City at this moment, one would see dense black dots approaching the same direction like a tide, as if something there was attracting them.
They were all targeting the Herrscher, either wanting to kill Raiden Mei or capture her.
Even the Honkai Beasts and zombies, members of the Honkai, were doing this. An artificial Herrscher like Raiden Mei was by no means an apostle of the Honkai; they had no goodwill towards her.
Raiden Mei, who had stirred up the situation in the entire Nagazora City, looked at the ruins of the building nearby with her purple eyes.
"If you're not dead, crawl out quickly. You really have the tenacious vitality of a cockroach, human."
"Cough, I didn't expect your Herrscher personality to have a toxic tongue attribute, Mei."
Evan pushed away the many huge rocks pressing on him. Aside from his clothes being a bit messy, he didn't have any exaggerated external injuries.
He felt that the super-giant Honkai Beast just now was ridiculous. With such a large body, it hadn't made a single noise before launching its attack, so that he, whose view was blocked by the room's walls, couldn't dodge in advance.
Although the attack launched by the super-giant Honkai Beast was sudden and terrifying enough, a lance wasn't a weapon suitable for hacking after all. Using the [Nitro Crystal] sword to complete a series of force-redirecting maneuvers, Evan, who avoided the area directly below the lance where the power was most violent, actually didn't suffer any serious injuries. He was just exhausted for a moment; otherwise, he could have rushed out immediately, and Raiden Mei wouldn't have turned into a Herrscher due to huge psychological fluctuations.
Herrscher Mei didn't respond to Evan's words. She glanced at him, and after confirming that his life really wasn't in danger, her cold purple eyes quickly looked towards the sky.
A massive aerial battleship had appeared there.
Towards this thing hovering above her head and clearly harboring ill intentions, a cold and stern look appeared in Herrscher Mei's eyes. Lightning began to emerge around her body; she wanted to shoot that thing down.
"Stop, Mei. Leave the rest to me."
Evan's words made Herrscher Mei look at him.
"Leave it to you? With your current state, can you deal with that battleship, and the Honkai Beasts, zombies, and those robots on the ground? Hmm... according to the memory of that cowardly weakling, they seem to be called Titans."
The so-called "cowardly weakling" seemed to refer to Raiden Mei's own personality.
It seemed the two personalities didn't get along very well.
Evan didn't have time to think about those messy things right now. He swept a glance at the aerial battleship hovering quietly in the high altitude, seemingly observing the situation here, and finally fixed his gaze on the approaching army of zombies, Honkai Beasts, and Titans. He grinned, revealing a smile.
"If you can stay put and take care of Kiana, who fainted from the shockwave of your awakening just now, no problem."
Herrscher Mei, who seemed to share memories with Raiden Mei and didn't have a firm crazy idea of wanting to destroy everything, wouldn't hurt Kiana. And as long as Raiden Mei was with Kiana, Theresa's niece, the Hyperion, whose current captain should be Himeko Murata, wouldn't be able to use any heavy weapons against them. This was Evan's goal.
The more it was such a time, the more one had to consider all the details clearly.
Herrscher Mei took a step back and stood beside the fainted Kiana.
"Don't lose too uglily, human."
Taking this sentence as concern for now, Evan nodded. Lifting the [Nitro Crystal] sword, he took the initiative to rush into the army approaching them.
As the main component of this army, the numerous zombies couldn't even put up a decent block in front of Evan. Every swing of that greatsword would send many zombies flying, smashing down several of their kind like thrown weapons. After struggling on the ground for a while, they turned into fragments and disappeared.
And those few Honkai Beasts couldn't compare to the previous super-giant Honkai Beast either. At this moment, their role was merely to hinder Evan slightly, and they soon turned into dead souls under the sword like the zombies.
The real combat power in this army was the Titans, those robots as tall as giant Honkai Beasts.
In fact, the Titans were not in the same camp as the zombies and Honkai Beasts. Just now, during the army's march, many zombies wanted to attack the Titans, but they were crushed by the running Titans like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Their combat power was evident.
Looking at those few Titans, Evan, who had forcibly cleared a vacuum zone in the army, twisted his neck.
"So-called 'tearing mechas with bare hands, killing with a hug in the arms.' Maybe I should be holding the comatose Kiana right now? Forget it, maybe Herrscher Mei would get jealous."
