A single wave of the dream attracted the wandering thunder.
Raiden Mei, suddenly inspired, held high her dream and her expression turned extremely cold.
As the dream was raised high, the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and terrifying thunder seemed to come alive, wandering and lingering within the clouds.
The next moment, all the lightning transformed into a purple pillar of lightning, striking Dream Heart with unerring accuracy and imbuing it with terrifying power.
Thunder and lightning intertwined and pulsated on the surface of the dream, bursting forth with dazzling light and deafening thunder.
The aura of light and the sound of thunder had no effect on Raiden Mei, but at this moment, Dream Isshin seemed to have gained "weight," giving her an excellent feel for the weapon.
"This moment—the time of annihilation!"
As the sound faded, Raiden Mei gently waved away her dream.
Suddenly, a dazzling blade of light flashed across the sky, seemingly carrying the mighty power of heaven and earth, and slashed down fiercely towards the large, low-ranking Honkai Beast.
"Roar!"
The large, lower-ranking Honkai Beast let out a roar that sounded both alarmed and furious, but it was no match for this "unthinking slash," and in the end, it was defeated and perished like a landslide.
The dazzling and terrifying blade light did not gradually dissipate after slaying the large low-level Honkai Beast. Instead, it continued to advance with overwhelming momentum, as if it wanted to split the entire Academy City in two.
Upon seeing this, Raiden Mei was stunned.
Seeing that the blade was about to cleave a building in two, Raiden Mei panicked. The remnant of her lightning wings trembled and then carried her towards the blade.
Unfortunately, Raiden Mei's speed was slightly slower than the sword light, making it difficult for her to intercept it in time.
Just as Raiden Mei was filled with guilt and despair, a huge purple void opened up in an instant, like a gaping maw of an abyss, completely swallowing up the thoughtless slash.
Then, a purple hole tore open in the sky above Academy City, spitting out a dazzling yet terrifying blade of light that cleaved the cloud-covered heavens.
At the same time, a purple hole tore open beside Raiden Mei, and Sirin slowly walked out from it.
"Mei, don't be so reckless next time."
Sirin gently tapped Raiden Mei's head, her words more of a playful scolding than a reproach.
"I'm sorry... It was my first time fighting in person, and I was thinking of giving it my all, but..."
Raiden Mei lowered her head and sincerely admitted her mistake.
Before this, Raiden Mei had never imagined that "Unthinking Slash" would be so terrifying, so she chose to unleash its full power.
If Sirin hadn't intervened to stop the blade, the casualties from that thoughtless strike might have been many times greater than those caused by the Honkai Beast rampage.
"Mei, this isn't a power you developed yourself, is it? Let Sirin guess..."
Even so, Celine had already guessed the truth.
"This ability must have been given to you by your father!"
"Yes, it was Dr. Qiu who bestowed this ability upon me; it's called 'The Profound Truth of Dreams.'"
This ability grants Raiden Mei not only "a single-minded dream" and "a single, thoughtless strike," but also a void of "mental space."
This "mental space" needs to be built by Raiden Mei herself, but it doesn't require too much effort. She only needs to take some time to "meditate" and then she can build the "mental space" into the shape she envisions.
It's worth mentioning that Lei Movie, which should have disappeared, has reappeared because of "The Secret of Dreams" and is currently observing the outside world from the "Mind Space".
"Luckily, Celine was watching you, otherwise you would have really caused a disaster!"
When Qiu Bi asked Xi Lin about the location of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Xi Lin was already on guard and deliberately created a purple void to keep an eye on Qiu Bi and the others.
Originally intended to provide timely support to Qiu Bi and others, it inadvertently resolved a disaster.
"Sister Xilin, I'm so sorry for causing you trouble..."
Raiden Mei apologized again.
Sirin reached out and pinched Raiden Mei's cheek, then said, "It's okay! Mei, be careful to control your strength in the future, don't use too much force—you are strong enough to easily deal with these lower-level Honkai Beasts."
"Ah."
Raiden Mei responded softly, while simultaneously releasing Dream Isshin.
The moment she released her Dream Heart, Dream Heart vanished as purple lightning, as if it had never existed.
Sirin couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, then stared at Raiden Mei's chest, a hint of doubt creeping into her eyes.
When Raiden Mei pulled out Dream Heart, Sirin watched the whole process through the purple hole and naturally knew that Dream Heart was pulled out from her chest.
At this moment, Raiden Mei put away her dreams and focused on her heart, but instead of putting it back in her chest, she left Sirin completely puzzled.
Despite her doubts, Xilin chose not to ask.
"Well... Mei, Sirin won't disturb you while you're dealing with the Honkai Beasts. The magical girls still need Sirin's personal command!"
sound off.
Sirin reached out and tore open a purple hole, gave Raiden Mei a tender hug, and then disappeared into the hole, leaving the area.
A few seconds later, Qiu Bi arrived late, carrying Cecilia. He stared in disbelief at the huge trench left on the ground.
"That strike was incredibly powerful."
Cecilia clicked her tongue in amazement, leaning against Qiu Bi's chest as if no one else was around, letting Qiu Bi hold her.
Raiden Mei's lightning-like wing behind her trembled slightly, keeping her suspended in the air.
"Dr. Qiu, Sister Cecilia, I accidentally used too much force..."
Raiden Mei scratched her cheek sheepishly, feeling her face burning.
"This is the first time after all, so it's normal to use too much force. Besides, with Sirin helping to deal with the aftermath of the battle, it's nothing serious."
Before unleashing the "thoughtless strike," Qiu Bi hadn't expected it to be so powerful.
When they saw "A Single Slash Without Thought" easily kill a large low-level Honkai Beast, Qiu Bi and Cecilia were also stunned and did not immediately take action to deal with the subsequent sword light.
At that moment, the magical girls stationed nearby received Sirin's order and quickly gathered here to use "magic" to restore the battle marks on the ground.
Raiden Mei, Qiu Bi, and Cecilia stood in the air, looking down at the busy figures of the magical girls.
After a while, Qiu Bi withdrew his gaze, then carried Cecilia away from the place, heading to the next location of a large, low-level Honkai Beast.
Raiden Mei floated slowly behind Qiu Bi, following closely behind Qiu Bi and Cecilia to the next battle location.
Chapter 142 Yae Sakura
As evening approached, the Honkai Beasts in Academy City were finally cleared out without causing too many casualties; at most, some buildings were destroyed.
Even so, Sirin did not go home, but instead dealt with the aftermath, organizing the magical girls to rebuild the collapsed buildings.
Magical girls possess all sorts of magical abilities, which can be used to fight enemies or to make life easier.
At this time, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina were all assisting Sirin and helping to handle the many follow-up matters, so Qiu Bi and the others did not need to worry.
Besides, after today's battle, Raiden Mei has almost perfectly mastered the "Secret Technique: True Dream," and at least she no longer overexerts herself.
It can be said that the "Great Collapse" caused by Raiden Mei did not have a significant impact on everyone's lives. At most, it strengthened Qiu Bi and Cecilia's determination to take the children away from Academy City and go to "St. Freya Academy".
However, before moving his family away from Academy City, Qiu Bi intentionally sought out the so-called "Mist Manor".
Qiu Bi was quite interested in the mother and daughter.
……
Evening, at Qiu Bi's house.
Looking at the reserved-looking Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, Qiu Bi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"So... you came to Academy City alone, precisely to find the so-called 'savior's partner'?"
“That’s right! Although I am the chosen savior, one person’s power is ultimately insufficient to resist the overwhelming force of the abyss and cannot prevent this world from falling into darkness, therefore…”
Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens Temple, filled with pride and certainty, declared, "The great savior, Lord Nine Heavens, needs many companions!"
"I probably understand."
Qiu Bi nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Penglai Temple student, you have nowhere to go, so you want to stay at my house for a while?"
"Well... you can understand it that way, after all, you need to spend some time together before becoming partners."
Qiu Bi pondered for a few seconds, then readily agreed.
As for the room where Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple resides...
After much deliberation, Qiu Bi finally decided to let Penglai Temple Jiuxiao stay in Bella's room temporarily, while Bella would share a bedroom with Qiu Bi and Cecilia.
The bedroom bed is large enough for three people to sleep comfortably together.
Upon learning of this, both Penglai Temple Jiuxiao and Bella were overjoyed. Only Cecilia gave Qiu Bi a reproachful look, clearly having guessed Qiu Bi's little scheme.
Qiu Bi remained unfazed, pretending that Cecilia hadn't noticed his ulterior motives, and then told his daughters about it.
The daughters will not object to Qiu Bi's decision, and even though they think Penglai Temple Jiuxiao is a strange person, they are willing to take the initiative to contact him.
……
The peaceful days didn't last long, and Xilin soon discovered an "uninvited guest" in Changkong City.
—A girl who calls herself a "shrine maiden".
That being said, Sirin knew that the girl was a "pseudo-Herrscher".
Meanwhile, since the girl did not show any aggressive tendencies, Xilin simply took her home and left it to Qiu Bi to decide.
"..."
"..."
Qiu Bi and the girl looked at each other without saying a word, maintaining an awkward silence.
The young girl sipped her tea, patiently waiting for Qiu Bi to ask her questions.
On the other hand, Qiu Bi naturally knew the girl's background.
The girl's name is "Yae Sakura". In 500 years, she was influenced by the Herrscher of the previous civilization and became a pseudo-Herrscher. She was later sealed away by Kallen.
