"Bought a motorcycle, how are you going to ride it? You're quite fast, aren't you? Try running away now!"
Elysia's face broke into a slight smile. Wasn't she still easily in control? A mere Herrscher of Reason, how dare she challenge her?
But in the next second, her face froze because Bronya conjured another motorcycle on the spot, a mocking expression on her face as she looked at Elysia. The scene felt like the person involved could break down at any moment.
"You little brat, I'm done playing with you. I'm getting serious now!"
A powerful force emanated from her body, and then countless Honkai Beasts appeared all over the world, followed by even Herrscher-class Honkai Beasts roaring in their midst!
Herrscher-class. This was no longer a threat that Teyvat could handle alone. Even the native inhabitants were struggling, let alone them.
But even so, to protect their homeland, they had to step forward. The gods of various nations displayed their powerful might, though it proved of little effect.
Herrscher-class beasts were not something the Seven Archons of the Seven Nations could deal with. Their power was ultimately insufficient, but they could still stall them without any issue.
However, one of the Seven Gods had already fallen, and there were significant casualties here. Herrscher-class Honkai Beasts were not limited to just a few; almost every nation had one or two. It was as if they intended to annihilation Teyvat.
The three figures in the sky watched all this and immediately directed the remaining able-bodied individuals to provide support. After all, they were the only Valkyries left in this world, and dealing with Honkai Beasts was their specialty.
"You underestimate your enemy to such an extent? To be fighting me and still have the mind to call for reinforcements... you truly don't take me seriously!"
At some point, Elysia appeared behind Raiden Mei and then, with a powerful sweep, slammed a massive hand onto the ground.
The other two were about to rush over for support, but the hand that appeared out of nowhere grabbed Kiana. The immense grip made it impossible for her to break free. Two out of the three were already incapacitated. Were they going to lose like this?
"Only you are left, little bug. A mere motorcycle, you didn't actually think I had no way to deal with it, did you?"
Bronya, who was just about to start drifting on her motorcycle, was violently thrown to the ground by the hand. The motorcycle skidded several times before coming to a halt.
"This is your fate: to be defeated by me, then to die, and for this world to become a paradise for Honkai. Your deaths will have meaning. Meaning as nourishment for the Honkai. I will remember you."
A smile, eerie and unsettling, appeared on Lu Ze's stiff face. Elysia slammed the two people in her hands heavily onto the ground. All three were severely injured and lacked the strength to fight further.
"Seeing as you've kept me occupied for so long, I won't kill you immediately. I'll deal with these insignificant bugs first, and then I'll have my fun with you properly. After all, between a temporary toy and a permanent one, I know which to choose."
Just as she was about to command the two nearby Herrscher-class Honkai Beasts to subdue the trio, a powerful aura emanated from behind.
"What is going on?"
Elysia turned back with surprise and then saw a sight she would never forget in her life.
Bronya slowly got up, her long dress tattered, revealing her fair skin in places. Yet, even so, she would not give up.
"Elysia, I have even stronger powers yet to unleash. Are you ready to accept the judgment of the Herrscher of Reason?!"
Her long dress vanished, replaced by successive armors. Not only that, but the one who was riding a motorcycle was now riding a giant mech. The transformation was so drastic!
"What is this?!"
Elysia had never witnessed the Herrscher of Reason unleashing a second burst of power. This immense aura, though still below her own, represented a significant leap from being a non-threat to a genuine one.
"What is this? This is the thought of 300,000 people. This is my true feelings for Lu Ze. I absolutely will not allow you to use his body to do such outrageous things! Absolutely not!"
With that, she threw her spear forward. Elysia quickly dodged, her expression shifting from unsettled to nonchalant.
"Is that all? You've only become a little stronger. What's there to be arrogant about!"
As soon as her words fell, the spear that had flown out returned, piercing her right arm. It had initially just cut through the skin, but now it had penetrated deeply. The change was too significant.
"I was careless. I didn't expect you to pull this stunt! How dirty of you!"
She silently pulled the spear from her back, red blood dripping. But this body was not her own, and she could afford to take risks. At worst, she could return to her true body after this one was used up.
"Compared to you, Bronya is not dirty at all."
Elysia's mouth twitched as she looked at the sky. Fine, she was the dirtiest. Then, she would have to die.
"With just you alone, you still cannot pose any threat to me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Raiden Mei, who had forcibly gripped the Key of Heaven, managed to get up with difficulty. She glanced at Elyssian behind her.
"Elly, lend me your power. I... I definitely won't let this person escape! Lu Ze, I will save him for you too!"
Elyssian, lying on the ground and unable to get up, gave a weak smile. Her legs were crippled. Their only hope now rested on the three of them. It seemed the older generation was no longer up to the task.
"Mei, you must do your best and defeat that person. I will... silently bless you!"
Flashes of light flickered, a soft pink glow accompanying Raiden Mei's body. Then, piece by piece, her adornments were replaced. Her dark purple Herrscher of Thunder form transformed into a white and purple Herrscher of Origin.
Casually wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Raiden Mei once again drew her blade, pointing it at Elysia in the sky, and declared loudly:
"I lost that last battle. Let's start over! This time, I won't be defeated so easily!"
Seeing that both of them had transformed, Kiana also felt a sense of urgency. She solemnly looked at the gem in her hand, as if she had made a decision, and glanced at the diamond ring on her finger.
