The Shock Brought to the Flame-Chasers

"Ha ha ha, come on, fight!"

With Mobius already here, the others gradually boarded the Hyperion as well. Wild, crazed laughter rang out as a figure wreathed in flames, seeming to have scorching lava flowing over his body, charged at Zhang Wei and threw a terrifying punch at him.

"Captain!"

Kiana was startled. Her concern threw her into a panic, and she instantly transformed into her Finality form, stepping in front of Chrono.

"Boom!"

Scorching, violent flames surged into the sky, and smoke and dust obscured the figures of the group. Kevin and the others followed close behind. Seeing Chrono charge in so recklessly, they all frowned. They knew he craved battle, but he should at least have figured out the situation first.

Moreover, they had seen a girl rush forward and had no idea whether she was all right. After all, Chrono ranked among the strongest of the Flame-Chasers.

"I say... you're really rude!"

The smoke slowly dispersed. There was smoke, but no damage. Kiana's cold voice rang out as Chrono's flaming fist was lightly caught in her slender palm.

At that moment, Kiana wore Finality's gorgeous purple attire, outlined with golden patterns that made her seem incomparably noble. A golden crown of Finality floated above her head. Her azure eyes had vanished, replaced by a pair of godlike golden eyes filled with icy fury. The Captain and the others were her reverse scale; no one was allowed to hurt them.

Incomparably powerful Honkai Energy erupted. The Elysian Realm, formed from data, began to collapse at that moment. Even the slightest outburst of the Power of Finality had already exceeded the limit the Elysian Realm could contain.

Before the Flame-Chasers could say anything, Klein was already groaning in misery. The workload was enough to make her chip explode.

"Finality?!"

Kevin and the others spoke in unison. As survivors of the Previous Civilization's battle against Finality, those memories had also been uploaded into the Elysian Realm. As their Memory Bodies, they naturally knew Finality's terror. Yet only by experiencing it face-to-face did they truly understand how terrifying the Herrscher of Finality from their memories had been.

It was a gap between entirely different dimensions. It gave them the illusion that Kiana was like a god at that moment, as though she could effortlessly hold the Elysian Realm in her palm.

"The Herrscher of Finality... how could this be?" Even Snake Snake, usually so obsessively possessive, wore a grave expression. The Herrschers before Finality in the Previous Civilization were not even qualified to carry the Herrscher of Finality's shoes.

They had thought she was merely a somewhat powerful intruder. They had never expected a tyrannosaurus. The Herrscher of Finality was fully capable of instantly killing them.

So this was Finality?

She looked so cool.

Elysia did not feel nervous at all. As the Herrscher of the Human, she could sense that Kiana did not possess the malice radiated by the Herrschers of the Previous Civilization. She had acted only because Chrono had rashly attacked Zhang Wei.

Ahhh, I'm so jealous. Elysia wanted a beautiful girl to care about her like that too.

"Ha ha ha ha, Herrscher, you are worth killing! Fight to your heart's content!"

Feeling that terrifying Honkai Energy, Chrono showed not the slightest fear. Instead, the flames around him burned even more fiercely, his blood boiling as his voice became beastlike. This was precisely the battle he had longed for.

Chrono's appearance changed. Flames flowed over his body like lava, leaving no trace of a human form. He looked like a demon crawling out of hell. Fighting and slaughter were now his instincts.

This was Artificial Collapse!

"Ahhh, my deck!" Seeing the charred marks around Chrono, Zhang Wei knew that Chrono's strength could not possibly damage the Hyperion in the slightest, but he still could not help feeling heartbroken and let out a miserable marmot-like scream.

"..."

All the Flame-Chasers were speechless. His focus was truly strange.

"Can Jie Ge win?" Pardo, the cat, was the Flame-Chaser standing farthest from Chrono. She was afraid that the flames around him would set her tail on fire.

"There is only one result. That is impossible!"

"He'll lose!"

Kevin spoke calmly. As the main force in the battle against Finality, his words carried the most authority. When they had landed on the moon to face the Herrscher of Finality, Flame-Chasers had fallen within mere minutes. And that had been when the Flame-Chasers were at their peak. Though the Memory Bodies in the Elysian Realm were powerful, they were still inferior to their prime selves.

There was no Moonlight Throne here on that exaggerated scale. Before them stood the Herrscher of Finality at her peak, perhaps even stronger than that.

"Boom!"

Kiana's golden eyes flickered. With a flick of her finger, an incomparably powerful force burst forth. Chrono was sent flying almost instantly, shooting out of the Hyperion at incredible speed and smashing through building after building in the Elysian Realm. Klein was the one who suffered again.

Finality's strength was absolute. There was no need to use any Herrscher Authority; with a single strike, she defeated Chrono, one of the Flame-Chasers ranked near the top in strength.

"Done. Now it can finally be quiet for a while!"

Kiana stretched her graceful body. That strike had actually been troublesome, because Chrono was simply too weak in her eyes. She had needed to consider how much force would knock Chrono unconscious without making him completely disappear, even if this was the Elysian Realm.

"Do any of you still want to have a go?" Kiana tilted her head and looked at Kevin and the others, who held the Skyfire Greatsword. Even if she got cocky now, she would not deflate like a certain purple pufferfish, because her strength was enough to destroy the world.

"Damn it, should we use Anti-Kevin Weaponry Model 666?" Vill-V held onto her hat as a bold thought arose in her mind: use the entire Elysian Realm to drag the Herrscher of Finality down with them.

"All right, all right. I believe they aren't enemies." Elysia spoke up. If they kept fighting, more people would definitely be hurt, and that was something she did not want to see.

They were not enemies, so there was no need for that.

She also knew that even if they all attacked together, along with whatever weapon Vill-V had, they still could not do anything to the Herrscher of Finality, much less Jana and the others. Thankfully, Zhang Wei and the others were not their enemies. Otherwise, the Elysian Realm would become history today.

"Elysia, don't tell me you're siding with outsiders just because that redhead is your follower?" Snake Snake looked at Elysia irritably, as if she were looking at a traitor.

"Of course not!"

Elysia instantly blushed furiously. Could they stop bringing it up? She had been about to forget that embarrassing experience, but now it had been branded even deeper into her mind. She could not forget it even if she wanted to. Even Yu Du Chen probably would not help.

"Of course we aren't enemies. Isn't that obvious?"

"Ah~ Amen~"

Zhang Wei spoke with a devout expression. Kevin and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, Elysia's pretty face flushed scarlet all the way to the tips of her ears, while Eden looked at Zhang Wei with great interest.
