In Honkai with Tom Cat

"giao!!!!!!!"

Seeing the lightning ball hurtling towards him, Tom was so frightened that he floated in mid-air, eyes bulging, and tongue sticking out long.

After a few seconds, Tom returned to normal, and without even taking a step, he immediately started running away.

If someone had measured it, they would have found that Tom's running speed had already surpassed world record levels, moving incredibly fast. Thanks to this speed, Tom dodged the attack just in time.

Seeing that he had dodged the lightning ball, Tom immediately sighed in relief and then began to laugh thunderously at the Herrscher of Thunder.

"Hohohohohohahaha!!!!"

As he laughed, he slapped his thigh and pointed at the Herrscher of Thunder, fully expressing his mockery through his actions: What kind of dumb move was that?

After unleashing the massive lightning ball, the Herrscher of Thunder now looked pale, gasping for breath, no longer displaying the haughty demeanor she had before.

It was clear that this move had consumed a lot of her energy.

But instead of getting angry at Tom's mockery, she smiled.

"Stupid cat, take a closer look. Did you really think you dodged it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the lightning ball that had just flown away suddenly turned around and started chasing after Tom!

Tom, seeing the lightning ball heading straight for him, widened his eyes, which even stretched out like telescope tubes in shock.

A few seconds later, his eyes returned to normal, and he immediately started running again.

But no matter how fast he ran, the giant lightning ball kept chasing him from behind. No matter how quickly he moved, the lightning ball stuck closely behind him, relentlessly pursuing him.

A cat and a ball thus began frantically circling the rooftop, running around in five or six complete circles.

Finally, after the seventh lap, Tom realized something.

It seemed like he couldn't shake off this terrifying thing.

Realizing this, Tom stopped, then let out a sigh of resignation and smiled wryly.

He shrugged, turned to face the lightning ball, and pulled out a white strip, using it to blindfold himself.

Then he took out a cigar, lit it, took a deep puff, exhaled a smoke ring, and put the cigar away.

Alright, time to face the end.

The massive lightning ball struck Tom directly.

With a thunderous explosion, a bolt of lightning shot into the sky, shattering the dark clouds that had gathered due to the Herrscher of Thunder's Honkai energy.

The terrifying blast wind from the explosion spread wildly in all directions, forcing Kiana and Li Huan to lie flat on the ground to avoid being blown away.

Though the explosion was grand in scale, its damage was confined to the area where Tom was, showing just how deep the Herrscher of Thunder's hatred for Tom was…

The Herrscher of Thunder, already exhausted, was nearly blown away by the blast wind but wore a maniacal smile on her face.

"Hahahahaha! This is what happens when you oppose me! That monstrous cat couldn't possibly survive such an attack! Hahahaha!!!!"

"Hey, this doesn't look good," Kiana shouted to Li Huan, who was lying next to her. "Could your cat really be dead?"

"How could that be?" Despite being in a mess from the blast wind, Li Huan remained calm and unshaken. "Just keep watching."

Seeing Li Huan's unwavering confidence, Kiana could only continue looking in Tom's direction.

As the storm gradually subsided, the lightning ball's power finally dissipated.

The area where Tom had been standing was now a deep crater carved out by the lightning ball, with traces of purple lightning still faintly flickering at the center of the explosion.

As the smoke cleared, the center of the explosion became visible.

Tom was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a patch of ash on the ground.

Seeing the center of the explosion, the Herrscher of Thunder's face lit up with excitement.

YATTA! I finally got rid of that monstrous cat! I finally killed the pest that humiliated me so much!

Her heart was filled with the joy of revenge, and she finally felt a sense of relief.

Though she was drained, she still had enough energy left to escape… No, to strategically retreat, recover, and then slowly deal with the two remaining humans!

"Hey, your cat really is dead."

Kiana looked at the ash patch with a sorrowful expression. "Poor kitty…"

Li Huan looked at the ash patch, his expression unchanged.

He stood up and shouted towards that area, "Tom! How much longer are you going to lie there? Time to get up!"

At Li Huan's shout, the patch of ash suddenly moved, and then a cat's head popped out of the ashes.

Without a doubt, it was Tom's head.

Tom had a look of disbelief on his face, as if even he couldn't believe he had survived.

The moment the Herrscher of Thunder saw Tom's head, her smile froze and then instantly disappeared.

At the same time, fear and panic crept onto her face.

"No way! That's impossible!" she screamed in terror. "How can you still be alive?!"

This horrifying scene was beyond the Herrscher of Thunder's comprehension, and her heart was now filled with fear.

Kiana also had a look of disbelief on her face. This cat survived such a massive attack from a Herrscher? Still alive?

Suddenly, she felt a strong urge to ask Li Huan where she could buy a Tom.

Of everyone present, only Li Huan was unsurprised by this outcome.

He calmly ran over to Tom, squatting down in front of him.

"Tom, are you okay?"

Hearing his owner's voice, Tom quickly nodded, then extended his paws from the ashes, pressing them against the ground to pull himself out.

Once out, Tom dusted himself off and started checking his body, seemingly to confirm if he was hurt. However, not a single hair on his body was damaged, let alone any wounds.

Seeing that he was unharmed, Tom breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Huan, noticing this, smiled knowingly. He gripped the wooden sword and baseball bat handle with one hand, freeing his other hand to pet Tom's head.

"You see, I told you, her lightning was all for show—just looks scary."

Hearing this, Tom thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The owner was right; there was nothing to be afraid of after all, was there?
