With just one strike, the entire building was destroyed. Inaba Tsukiyo, holding Bronya, observed the Honkai Beast that had destroyed the building as she flew through the air.
Unlike the previous Honkai Beasts, this one was taller than the building they were in. It was a Honkai Beast that appeared to be in human form.
However, its right hand was a spear, and its left hand was a giant longsword. It was with this longsword that it had destroyed the building.
But why did this Honkai Beast know where they were? Was there something between them that exposed their location?
Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't quite figure it out. At this moment, Bronya, who had woken up at some point, broke free from Inaba Tsukiyo's embrace and jumped towards the Honkai Beast.
"Bronya!"
Inaba Tsukiyo was anxious and was about to use Shukuchi to catch up, but she sensed the giant mechanical figure appearing behind Bronya.
This mechanical figure gave Inaba Tsukiyo a very familiar feeling, a vague sensation that was hard to describe, making it difficult to pinpoint what was strange about it.
This giant robot was Bronya's power, the robot known as project bunny 19c.
Seeing that Bronya intended to use this power to deal with the Honkai Beast, Inaba Tsukiyo hesitated for a moment and looked at the other Honkai Beasts nearby.
Because of this giant Honkai Beast, other Honkai Beasts were also attracted. To reduce the pressure on Bronya, Inaba Tsukiyo prepared to eliminate the other Honkai Beasts.
However… just as she finished dealing with one Honkai Beast, Inaba Tsukiyo heard a commotion from behind her.
Turning around, she found that almost all the buildings behind her had been destroyed, as if something had been sent flying and repeatedly crashed into the buildings.
Without thinking, she could guess that Bronya must have been sent flying.
Such a massive Honkai Beast was still a bit too much even for Bronya's power to handle.
She quickly arrived at the spot where Bronya had fallen. Although she showed some signs of injury, she was not seriously hurt. It seemed project bunny 19c had blocked most of the damage.
"What exactly is this… Such a large Honkai Beast would be difficult to deal with even if I used all my magic. Do I have to use that move?"
Inaba Tsukiyo looked at the ring on her right hand. If there was no other way, then she would have to use that power.
Of course, besides that power, Inaba Tsukiyo had another option, although her eyes would hurt for a while, she had recently gotten used to that pain.
"Wait a minute, Bronya is here, so Miss Raiden and Miss kaslana…"
Only Bronya's project bunny 19c could deal with such a behemoth.
But Bronya had already been sent flying, so wouldn't Raiden Mei and Kiana, who weren't here, be in great danger?
[Boom!!!]
Just as she thought of this problem, Inaba Tsukiyo heard a huge tremor from not far away, and the air currents stirred up dust and gravel from nearby.
Feeling uneasy, Inaba Tsukiyo carried Bronya to a safer place and set her down there, then turned and walked in the direction of Raiden Mei and Kiana.
Suddenly, a thick current of electricity pierced through the top floor, illuminating the original darkness, and a strange change occurred in Raiden Mei.
"This is… Honkai Energy continuously increasing? What exactly is this?"
Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't help but use her power. Opening her eyes, she saw Raiden Mei floating in the air, holding Kiana, and five wings made of Honkai Energy formed near Raiden Mei's left shoulder.
"What exactly is this… the feeling is completely different. This feeling, it's like she's become a different person."
After Raiden Mei's state changed, even the Honkai Beast that had attacked them changed, as if it had submitted to Raiden Mei.
"Vanish, you trash."
Raiden Mei waved her hand, and a lightning orb formed by Honkai Energy appeared above the Honkai Beast's head.
After the lightning orb fully touched the Honkai Beast, terrifying electricity completely enveloped the Honkai Beast, and the surrounding buildings were also covered by this intense current.
Under the destruction of this violent electricity, the buildings turned to ash like sand, and at the same time, a pillar of light formed by lightning shot into the sky.
At this moment, Raiden Mei's state was like that of a god, looking down on this world with an absolutely merciless attitude.
"This is truly… terrifying power. Is this what Cocolia, that old woman, called a Herrscher?"
With just one movement, a perfectly fine street was destroyed like this. Humans who mastered Honkai power were truly terrifying.
Moreover, Inaba Tsukiyo noticed a detail: near Raiden Mei, a large number of Honkai Beasts had appeared at some point.
These Honkai Beasts were making the same movements as the Honkai Beast from earlier, as if they were subjects.
"Hmm?"
Noticing something, Inaba Tsukiyo swung the sword in her hand, and a lightning orb was cut in half by the sword, flying to either side of Inaba Tsukiyo.
[Boom!]
Just like before, the power of the lightning orb completely destroyed the street, and the strong wind from the explosion blew Inaba Tsukiyo's twin ponytails high up.
"Even her consciousness is completely different? It seems the Herrscher's consciousness is entirely different from a human's consciousness."
Since she knew she had been discovered, Inaba Tsukiyo didn't intend to hide anymore. She stood up directly, staring at the Herrscher-fied Raiden Mei.
"I didn't expect there would still be an ant that could block my attack… You seem very special."
After speaking, another lightning orb appeared in her hand and was thrown in Inaba Tsukiyo's direction.
Facing the lightning orb that appeared before her again, Inaba Tsukiyo merely poked it, and the lightning orb vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"Treating humans as ants? That truly is a god's perspective. However… don't underestimate humans too much, Herrscher!"
Her eyes completely turned blue, Inaba Tsukiyo drew mikazuki munechika, activated Shukuchi, and charged towards the Herrscher-fied Raiden Mei.
Seeing Inaba Tsukiyo charging towards her, Raiden Mei frowned slightly, extended her right palm, and a huge current surged towards her.
Lightly tapping the air with her right foot, Inaba Tsukiyo's body changed direction in mid-air. Her eyes remained fixed on the lightning pillar emitted by Raiden Mei, seemingly observing something.
"I… I see it."
mikazuki munechika swung, and the blade cut into the electric current. Under such high-temperature electricity, mikazuki munechika, which should have melted into molten iron, was completely unharmed. To Raiden Mei's surprise, the current was actually cut open!
"How is this possible!"
How could a human possibly have the power to cut open electricity! Even a Herrscher couldn't do such a thing, so why could Inaba Tsukiyo do it!
Before she could think further, Inaba Tsukiyo had already arrived near Raiden Mei, and mikazuki munechika in her hand swung back.
The flustered Raiden Mei moved for the first time. The five wings made of Honkai Energy blocked Inaba Tsukiyo's attack, but one of them was completely destroyed.
"Ouch, was that a bit too much? This power cannot be used continuously."
The pain in her eyes made Inaba Tsukiyo involuntarily close them. Although this power was strong, it was impossible to use it continuously.
However, she had already attracted her opponent's hatred. If she didn't quickly find a solution, the situation would only become more troublesome.
"Is it time to use your power? Help me, help me resolve the current situation."
[Leave it to me, master.]
Inaba Tsukiyo, still free-falling in the air, kissed the ring on her hand. The light emitted by the ring enveloped Inaba Tsukiyo.
"Damn it!"
Raiden Mei, with her injured wing, felt insulted. Looking at where Inaba Tsukiyo had fallen, she released her electricity at full power.
However, this current was completely blocked by the light and could not enter.
"I will absolutely not let you harm my master! Your enemy! Is me!!"
Dressed in a red gown, holding a strangely shaped longsword, Nero, the fifth Roman Emperor, appeared in this world.
"To attack me, an Emperor, is a capital offense."
Facing Raiden Mei, who was attacking her, Nero snorted coldly, and the primordial fire in her hand looked towards Raiden Mei.
The greatsword, burning with crimson flames, seemed weightless in Nero's hand. It approached Raiden Mei with incredible speed, launching an attack.
Although Inaba Tsukiyo's request was to control Raiden Mei, she had not specified that she couldn't teach the opponent a lesson.
"How dare you lay hands on my favorite master! Accept the Emperor's judgment!!!"
"Who are you, you tyrant!"
Nero's words even made the Herrscher-fied Raiden Mei unable to help but retort.
She again used lightning to attack Nero, but the electricity could not break through the primordial fire in Nero's hand.
Each time Raiden Mei's lightning was cut in half by Nero's attack, as if the lightning had a physical form and was then severed.
"This is… why can that sword block Honkai Energy?"
Raiden Mei stared in shock at the primordial fire in Nero's hand. That weapon could actually destroy Honkai Energy? What was going on? She had never heard of it!
"No one can stop me from avenging my master! Take this! Strange fellow!"
After again destroying Raiden Mei's wings made of Honkai Energy, just as she was about to properly teach Raiden Mei a lesson, a huge spaceship suddenly appeared above their heads.
The appearance of this behemoth made Nero and Raiden Mei pull apart.
"Oh oh oh~ Although it can't compare to Chaldea's equipment, is this a spaceship from this world? It looks very impressive."
Facing something she had never seen before, Nero had a strong urge to go up and fly the spaceship.
[Thump! Thump! Thump!]
Suddenly, the Hyperion's outer deck opened, revealing numerous turrets that aimed at Raiden Mei and a bewildered Nero.
"Huh? What's going on? Could it be... am I also their target?"
Nero pointed at herself blankly, completely surprised that she would be considered a target.
No one answered Nero's question. The turrets on the Hyperion immediately unleashed terrifying shells, completely engulfing Nero and Raiden Mei.
Nero and Raiden Mei were enveloped by the smoke of the explosion.
After the smoke cleared, neither Nero nor Raiden Mei were harmed. Raiden Mei was protected by a barrier formed by Honkai Energy, while Nero simply used the power of the primordial fire to block the attack.
"They actually... actually attacked me. Unforgivable... unforgivable!"
"Aestus Estus!"
"Scum!"
Not only was Nero enraged, but Raiden Mei was also provoked.
The two, who had been fighting, suddenly formed a united front and attacked the Hyperion in the sky together.
Then, the Hyperion was swallowed by a deluge of lightning and flames.
