However, the next moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a flash that could almost blind a person instantly. The unreasonable and pure violence shook the ground and forced Yulandel, who was maintaining a forward posture, to stop abruptly. Everyone subconsciously squinted their eyes, trying desperately to keep their visual system functioning normally in the strong flash. It was at this moment that the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang in everyone's ears. When the light faded and Raiden Mei's figure reappeared in everyone's sight, intense fear and disbelief filled the hearts of everyone present at once. "To be honest, I really don't want to do anything to you guys." Mei Raiden placed one hand on a golden cross that was slightly taller than her, showed a regretful expression, and sighed softly. "Unfortunately, as I said before, it is more efficient to use more direct means rather than go to great lengths to make everyone believe those absurd facts." "Don't blame me, Kiana." "..." Kiana, the Herrscher of the Fire, held the flaming greatsword in front of her, opened her mouth, and spoke in a hoarse and dry voice, "What... is that——!!" In fact, it was not just her, everyone present had the same question in their mind. The tall cross exuding an ancient and majestic aura stood behind Raiden Mei. Its appearance looked almost exactly the same as the "Oath of Judas", the key of restraint held by Theresa. However, after the golden cross was unfolded, the weapons displayed in a fan-shaped posture inside it were not those golden light spears that contained the power of restraint. There are a total of thirteen colorful swords. Among those thirteen weapons, there are the Skyfire Greatsword and Black Abyss White Flower that Kiana and the others are very familiar with, as well as weapons that Kiana and the others have never seen before.
At the center of these thirteen swords is a huge sword with a strange shape. The tip of the sword is shaped like a monster's horn, and the sword body is composed of a combination of various different forces. "You'll understand after reading this, right?" Mei Raiden chuckled. "Of course this is the key of restraint held by the dean. It simply contains all the powers of the Herrscher, including the End." Whose binding key can contain all the powers of the Herrscher!!! Theresa almost cursed, cold sweat fell from her forehead like a waterfall. Even Yulandel held her breath, her eyes were a little gloomy. The power of Tianyuan could certainly make her invalidate the Honkai energy, but no matter how powerful the power of Tianyuan was, it was impossible to offset all the powers of the Herrscher at the same time. The strength relationship between the two sides was reversed in an instant. Under everyone's tense gaze, Mei Raiden waved her hand slightly, and the thirteen swords in the weapon box seemed to come alive, flying out one after another, and then circling around her on standby. "I'll ask you one last time." After doing all this, Raiden Mei turned her head slightly and pointed her gaze at Kiana, who had a dull look, with a little smile, "Kiana, are you really not going back with me?" "Kiana! Don't listen to her!!" Without any hesitation, Theresa shouted angrily, and a cross that was a whole circle smaller than the one behind Raiden Mei flew out with a sound of breaking through the air. "Even if Mei controls all the powers of the Herrscher, she is still alone after all. We may not lose to her if all of us fight together!!" "That's right." Yulandel took a long, deep breath, "No matter what, we can't let her take you back alone." “…Then there’s nothing we can do.” Raiden Mei shrugged and shook her head helplessly. ——At the same time, the base of World Serpent. At the gate of the paradise of the past, the two Kevins stood facing each other in silence. "What are you here for?" The one standing at the gate of Paradise asked. "That's not your concern." The other one answered in a voice without any emotion. "You should know that the Paradise of the Past is not the place you should come to." The man standing at the gate of the Paradise crossed his arms and did not show any sign of retreat when facing his real self: "Just leave now, no one will get hurt." "???"
Kevin, who was inexplicably attacked by his own memory, remained silent. You are just a memory, how dare he (former civilized swear word) rebel against the heaven? Also, what do you mean the paradise is not the place I should come to? I am the Lord of the World Serpent! Is there any place that the World Serpent cannot go? Although he had the urge to pick up the Holy Fire Judgment and chop at the Riddler in front of him, Kevin held back, considering that the urns of his twelve colleagues were stored here after all. "What did you... do to the people I invited in?" "This is not something you should know." The man standing at the gate of Paradise answered indifferently. Kevin: "..." It would be better to cut it off with a sword.
