Chapter 73: How Did Everyone End Up in Arc City Costumes?

Luo Lin noticed the smile on Siegfried's face and felt somewhat surprised, but it was indeed Siegfried's style.

He didn't like people who beat around the bush with cryptid talks, nor did he appreciate those who were very secretive.

When Siegfried discovered that Luo Lin wasn't Sirin, he had been curious about who was hiding behind the disguise of "Cecilia."

After a series of battles fought side by side, Siegfried who relied on Kaslana's completely unreasonable intuition, confirmed that Luo Lin wasn't a bad person with malicious intentions...

Now, he saw the truth and even felt some unexpected joy—Luo Lin's demeanor revealed between her gestures, the familiar techniques when using the spear, and finally, that illusory figure...

—This must be your successor, Cecilia.

Siegfried's worries dissipated without a trace.

"I never expected you to come back after falling into the space crack..."

He sighed with some emotion. After so long, Siegfried finally remembered who the girl in front of him really was.

But now was obviously not the time for reminiscing. The white-haired man turned his head again, looking at the continuously reconstructing barrier in front of him, and shouted loudly, "The intensity of the energy cannon is weakening; the attack is about to end!"

"Mmm!"

Kurikara's energy cannon finally stopped spraying, and the armored dragon folded its wings, aiming at the barrier on the ground full of scorch marks, descending with thunderous roars from the sky.

The Herrscher of Thunder could already imagine the fragile barrier being shattered by Kurikara, and the two troublesome individuals hiding inside being torn apart by the dragon's claws and teeth. After that, she could easily deal with Raiden Mei...

"Swish!"

Before the Herrscher of Thunder's attack could reach, the plant barrier shattered first, revealing Siegfried's figure holding the Cleaver of Shamash high. Beside him, Luo Lin raised her assault rifle and fired at the descending Kurikara.

The dense bullets quickly triggered the healing skill on Luo Lin's panel, and the ample healing power was transmitted to Siegfried. With the support of this power, Siegfried used the Judgement of Shamash even more aggressively.

The white-haired man gritted his teeth, enduring the burning pain.

But this time, his opponent was the Herrscher of Thunder, who wouldn't teleport short distances like the Herrscher of the Void. Siegfried could concentrate his strength and confront her head-on!

"Shamash—Roar!"

The Herrscher of Thunder didn't have time to command Kurikara to turn around. She could only increase her own output and collide head-on with a scorching torrent!

"Boom!"

In the huge explosion, Kurikara was blasted away, and the Herrscher of Thunder fell to the ground in a rather embarrassed manner. She propped herself up with a blade in one hand, glaring fiercely at Luo Lin and Siegfried.

Luo Lin felt weak in her limbs, panting heavily. After all, she was ultimately an agile unit, and resisting the Herrscher's AoE attacks was indeed too difficult for her.

Now that the her condition was not good, she couldn't continue to perform another joint attack with Siegfried. She could only remotely apply a slow healing buff to Siegfried and cautiously choose her position on the battlefield to avoid giving the Herrscher of Thunder a chance to ambush them.

Oh right, where did Senti go? Did that blow she received earlier knock her unconscious?

While Luo Lin was pondering this question, Fu Hua was operating the Fenghuang Down to fly, trying to get away from 'Fu Hua' side. Unfortunately, her attempts several times failed to take her far, and she was pulled back by an invisible force.

Fu Hua sighed, looking at the translucent blue part representing quantum erosion on the Divine Key gradually shrinking, bright particles drifting away, blown away by the fierce wind from the battlefield, disappearing without a trace.

"Only four pieces left..."

She turned her head and looked at 'Fu Hua', kneeling in the ruins, one hand pressing her temple, the other supporting herself on the ground.

'Fu Hua' had just been blasted away by the Herrscher of Thunder, smashing through several layers of floors.

She crawled out of the rubble, cursing angrily amidst the lingering smoke.

At this time, 'Fu Hua' looked at the Fenghuang Down in her hand and muttered, "Well, since you won't let me use the Divine Key, then I won't use it—anyway, I can do anything even without this broken feather!"

Then she found a secluded corner to hide, closed her eyes, and Fu Hua could feel invisible spiritual fluctuations emanating from 'Fu Hua' body, silently extending out, crossing the entire battlefield. She didn't know what 'Fu Hua' was planning to do.

Fortunately, the quantum erosion on the Fenghuang Down had just decreased again, allowing Fu Hua to slightly loosen up and use the power of the Divine Key to investigate what 'Fu Hua' was up to.

However, just as Fu Hua reached out to touch the Fenghuang Down, 'Fu Hua' opened her eyes. A excited smile appeared on her face, and she stood up from the cover of the rubble, looking in a certain direction.

"Kiana, let's see what you can do next!"

"Okay... Ugh... My head hurts..."

Kiana got up from the ground, coughed twice, and assessed her body:

The plain clothes she had been wearing for travel had disappeared, replaced by a set of concise and refined combat suits that didn't hinder movement. The entire combat suit was mainly dark brown with yellow decorations.

There were even two exaggerated pistols tied to her thighs, the edges of the gun barrels shimmering with a golden glow. Kiana instinctively realized that these things could easily deal with the Herrschers without any problem, let alone those ordinary Honkai beasts.

—She had become the Void Drifter, transforming from a white-haired tuna into the appearance of Kiana Kaslana - Void Drifter!

The surging energy surged within Kiana's body, even making her feel a little headache and eye pain. She had to use her hand to rub her temples to relieve the throbbing sensation.

"I hope you won't burst like being popped when the Herrscher of Thunder pokes you. That would be too embarrassing for your sister."

The words of the purple-haired girl echoed in Sirin's ears. She took off the dual pistols from the combat suit, trotted towards the direction where the battle was the most intense.

The white-haired Kiana casually dispatched a few passing Honkai beasts, becoming increasingly satisfied with the power of the firearms in her hands. With the support of Sirin's power, her various physical qualities far exceeded before. It could be said that she could now handle more than ten of her previous selves.

Soon, she arrived at the battlefield and saw the key figure who could sway the course of the battle—

"Mei!"

"Kiana!"

Raiden Mei was surprised to see Kiana in a different outfit. Her original twin braids had come loose, and her neatly arranged long hair cascaded down her cape, making her look heroic.

"Mei, I need your help to defeat that guy. Can you help me? But let me make it clear beforehand, this may be very dangerous!" Kiana reached out her hand and said solemnly, "Do you trust me?"

"...Of course, I trust you, Kiana!" Raiden Mei chuckled bitterly, clasping the white-haired girl's hand without hesitation.

"You're my friend after all!"

A subtle glow emanated from Kiana's hand, merging into Raiden Mei's body.

In the next moment, Raiden Mei noticed that her clothes had also changed.

A sleek, tailored coat adorned with metallic blue-purple accents at the collar and cuffs, accompanied by a peculiar industrial-looking longsword in her hand.

—Raiden Mei: Striker Fulminata!

"Miss Fu Hua was right!" Raiden Mei nodded with joy. "From now on, it's up to us!"

"...Us?"

"Yes."
