Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 50 Refusing to Be a Slave

If you unleash your ultimate skill at point-blank range, even with maxed-out dodge skills, you won't be able to escape, right?

With a deafening roar, a blinding flash of lightning instantly engulfed an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius. When the light faded, all that remained on the ground was Kiana, her hair disheveled and almost singed, and Sora, who was still trembling beneath her.

Lei Lu's breathing was somewhat rapid, and her body trembled slightly. After all, this was the first time she had unleashed such a fierce attack, which was also a burden for her premature baby.

Kiana!

He's still alive?

Following the source of the sound, the Herrscher of Thunder looked up again and saw Sora, who had struggled to crawl out from under Kiana and seemed to be unharmed, frantically shaking Kiana, whose eyes were rolling back in her head.

"Hey Kiana, cheer up!"

"Mei...Mei...hehe..."

Oh, looks like he won't die.

Lei Lu watched the two, but did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack—there was no need. Moreover, he had just exhausted himself punishing the two fools who had violated the dignity of the gods. If he did not take a break before making another move, he might not be able to suppress the coward who was showing signs of regaining his senses.

That said, the guys who can get close to her without becoming assassins or turning to ash are too rare. Should we consider keeping them as toys?

Laying Kiana down, Sora picked up a wooden stick. The metal baseball bat Kiana had used earlier was undoubtedly a major reason why she fell here and why he was standing here; metal is an excellent conductor, acting as a lightning rod—ensuring most of the lightning strikes hit Kiana.

"Rest in peace, Kiana. I will take care of your wife. Do not worry."

At this point, relying on Kiana is impossible, but inaction is also not an option; if they can't win, both of them will die!

Lei Lu, who was watching Qiong with great interest, remained silent. She assumed that Qiong must be filled with fear and awe, and would probably give a French military salute as before, pleading with her in a trembling voice that couldn't form complete sentences, or even beg to lick her toes to show her submission.

Thinking about this filled her with joy. Was this the thrill of conquest? Just thinking about it made her feel amazing!

If he really did that, it wouldn't be a bad thing to spare him and the white-haired idiot next to him. Having two more slaves who could communicate wouldn't be a bad thing either; at least these two were much smarter than those assassins.

At this moment, under her deliberate manipulation, Thunder Goddess was once again surrounded by lightning. Her gaze was fixed on the sky before her, like a sacred and inviolable thunder god, making people dare not look directly at her.

However, Qiong still met her gaze. There was no kneeling and begging for mercy as she had expected, nor was there a French military salute. The only thing that showed the other person's fear was her slightly trembling thighs.

"You ant, I'll give you a chance."

As a god who was bored out of his mind and had nothing to do except conquer the gray-haired god in front of him, Lei Lu felt that he should take a slightly more proactive approach, since he only had these two toys in front of him right now.

"What opportunity?"

"A chance to survive."

Lei Lu lifted his foot.

"Lick my shoes clean with your tongue, and I'll allow you to live to the ends of the earth. If you please me, I might even let you lick my feet~"

"Forehead……"

Is the art style of this Herrscher of Thunder different from what I expected?

An imagined Herrscher of Thunder: tyrannical and bloodthirsty, dreaming of conquering all of humanity.

The Herrscher of Thunder before me: If you changed your clothes and said you were a sadistic queen, he would believe you!

"Sorry, I'm not interested in that."

Although Kiana lying on the ground and the other perverts might agree, he has no interest!

On a somewhat inappropriate note, I actually think that legs and above are the most visually appealing and worthwhile parts to look at; it's just that due to various reasons (such as avoiding Shin-haku's divine power), some people's perspectives have been forced to shift downwards...

"Reject me? Do you want to die?"

Raiden Mei's beautiful eyes shone with a purple light, and the crackling sound of electricity once again echoed in the air.

"No, I don't want to. So, can we talk..."

"Either be a slave or die. Choose!"

The oppressive Herrscher of Thunder rejected the peace negotiation option, to which Sora responded...

"No way! There's an old Chinese saying: 'A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!'"

There was no way to escape. The only way to survive in the thunder was to defeat or even kill the person in front of him. Qiong charged forward once again.

"Rules are meant to be broken!"

Braving the lightning, Qiong charged towards Raiden Mei, then leaped up and smashed her bat at Raiden Mei's head.

Even if he is knocked unconscious by electric shock in mid-air, a desperate strike with the stick will still hit Lei Lu's head. Although the inertia of the stick might not be enough to splatter his brains, there is still hope of causing a concussion and rendering him unconscious.

"madness."

However, the bat ultimately failed to hit Raiden Mei because she was airborne.

Looking at the wings formed from purple lightning behind Raiden Mei, Sora felt despair.

She was someone he couldn't possibly defeat. All his previous actions were just toying with him and Kiana. How could he possibly fight a flying enemy with his skill level?

If Kiana were still awake and ruthless enough to shoot Herrscher of Thunder before she was surrounded by electric currents, she might have had a chance of winning, but now, it's all over.

"Foolish and naive, do you really think you can defeat God with a broken stick? Stubborn ant, I've had enough of your performance, die!"

"Hey, you... Ah!!!"

I don't know if Qiong has anything else to say, but that's no longer important.

From her superior position, the Thunder Goddess unleashed a slightly weaker lightning strike on the Sky than she had against Kiana, but she was confident that this strike would last longer and be more powerful, enough to turn this ant who dared to defy her into a charred corpse.

"Boring."

The remaining toy hasn't woken up yet, and she has nothing to do again... Wait, something's not right? Why is this dead person glowing?

---------------

Qiong lost consciousness from the electric shock, but he seemed to hear his parents' voices.

Am I going to die?

Legend has it that people experience a revolving lantern before they die, and this is the second time I've seen it, isn't it? I think the last time was done by a raven... Does that mean I'll be meeting the King of Hell again in a few days?

But doesn't the image of the King of Hell in the distance look a bit familiar?

Silver-white hair, dark skin, golden eyes, and that huge golden wound...

Qiong came back to her senses.

"Holy crap, Nanook!"

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, or perhaps it was because he disrespected the Star God and angered the god, but the Star God, who held the power of destruction, glanced at this gray-haired boy.

"The Star God looked at me? Does that mean I'm going to... I feel so uncomfortable, what is this thing?!"

Feeling as if a pulsating bomb was about to burst inside her chest, Qiong could only cover her chest.

However, at that moment, he found himself sinking, and the floor suddenly turned into a black swamp. For some reason, the black mud pulled him into the swamp.

Logically speaking, this should be the spiritual world, so why do I feel a sense of weightlessness as I sink down?

Black Mud's actions seemed to be an attempt to block a glimpse from a distant world while suppressing the restlessness within its chest, but no matter how hard it tried, it could only suppress the restlessness and could not block that glimpse at all.

The blessings of the star gods are something we must accept, whether we want them or not. Thunder and rain are all divine grace.

-------------

"Um……"

When I opened my eyes again, I was still on the rooftop.

But judging from the glaring sunlight, it must be noon already.

"Oh right, Kiana!"

Qiong scrambled to her feet and headed towards where Kiana lay dead, but there was an unexpected person lying next to Kiana.

"Raiden Mei? How did she collapse too? That's... a rift?!"

Not quite sure what was going on, but in her confusion, Qiong had at least confirmed two things:

First, they won; the Herrscher of Thunder was temporarily defeated. However, it's unknown whether Raiden Mei or the Herrscher of Thunder will wake up next.

Secondly, when he should have been stunned by the electric shock, his star core exploded, but it was suppressed by something unknown, and he also received the gaze of the God of Destruction.

Never mind, let's bring these two inside first. We can't let them stay outside in the sun any longer, can we?
