"Hahaha, come on, let's fight!"

With Mobius arriving, the others also boarded the Hyperion one after another. Wild and mad laughter erupted as a figure engulfed in flames, as if flowing with scorching magma, charged towards Zhang Wei, unleashing a terrifying punch.

"Captain!"

Kiana cried out in surprise, her concern overriding everything. She instantly transformed into her Herrscher of Finality form and blocked Chrono.

"Boom!"

Blazing, violent flames soared into the sky, and dust obscured the figures of the group. Kevin and the others followed closely. Seeing Chrono charge forward so impulsively, they all frowned. They knew he was eager for a fight, but he should at least figure out the situation first.

Moreover, they saw a girl charge forward and wondered if she was alright. After all, Chrono was ranked among the top in strength among the Flame-Chasers.

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

As the dust slowly dissipated, revealing no injuries despite the smoke, Kiana's cold voice rang out. Chrono's flaming fist was gently caught by her slender palm.

At this moment, Kiana was clad in the Herrscher of Finality's magnificent purple attire, adorned with golden lines that made her look incredibly noble. Above her head floated the golden Corona of Finality. Her sapphire blue eyes had vanished, replaced by golden irises that seemed divine, radiating a chilling coldness and fury. The Captain and the others were her absolute bottom line; no one was allowed to harm them.

An unparalleled and formidable Honkai Energy erupted. Even this virtual world of the Elysian Realm, constructed from data, began to collapse. The sheer magnitude of the Power of Finality, even with a slight burst, exceeded the Elysian Realm's capacity to contain it.

Before the Flame-Chasers could say anything, Klein was already groaning in distress, her processors about to explode from the workload.

"Herrscher of Finality?!"

Kevin and the others exclaimed in unison. As survivors of the finality war of the previous civilization, those memories had been uploaded to the Elysian Realm. As their memory bodies, they naturally knew the terror of the Herrscher of Finality. Now, experiencing it firsthand, they truly understood the horror of the Herrscher of Finality from their memories.

It was a gap between different dimensions, giving them an illusion. At this moment, Kiana appeared like a deity, and the Elysian Realm itself seemed to be held effortlessly in her palm.

"Herrscher of Finality, how is this possible?" Even the yandere Snake Snake wore a solemn expression. The Herrschers before the finality of the previous civilization didn't even qualify to carry her shoes.

They had initially thought it was just a slightly stronger intruder, but unexpectedly, it was a super-powered being. The Herrscher of Finality had the power to instantly kill them.

Is this Finality?

What a cool appearance.

Elysia felt no tension at all. As the Herrscher of the Human, she could sense that Kiana did not possess the malicious aura of the Herrschers from the previous civilization. The reason she attacked was simply because Chrono had recklessly attacked Zhang Wei.

Ahhh, I'm so envious. I wish a beautiful girl would care about me like that too.

"Hahahaha, Herrscher, you're worth killing! Fight to your heart's content!"

Sensing the terrifying Honkai Energy, Chrono showed no fear. Instead, the flames on his body burned even more intensely, his blood boiling, his voice like that of a wild beast. This was the battle he had longed for.

Chrono's appearance transformed. The flames on his body flowed like magma, completely obscuring his human form. He looked like a demon crawling out of hell, with combat and slaughter becoming his instincts.

This is Artificial Collapse!

"Ahhh, my deck!" Seeing the scorched marks around Chrono, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel heartbroken, letting out a desperate, high-pitched scream, even though he knew Chrono's strength wouldn't damage the Hyperion in the slightest.

"..."

All the Flame-Chasers were speechless. Your focus is really strange.

"Can Jie Ge win?" Pardo, the cat, was the furthest from Chrono among the Flame-Chasers. She was afraid Chrono's flames would ignite her tail.

"There's only one outcome, and that's impossible!"

"He'll lose!"

Kevin said calmly. As the main force in the finality war, his words carried the most authority. Facing the Herrscher of Finality during the moon landing, several Flame-Chasers fell within minutes, and that was when they were at their peak. Although the memory bodies in the Elysian Realm were powerful, they were still inferior to their prime.

There was no exaggerated Moon Throne here. Before them stood the Herrscher of Finality at her peak, perhaps even stronger.

"Boom!"

Kiana's golden eyes flickered. With a flick of her finger, an incredibly powerful force was unleashed, and Chrono was sent flying back almost instantly. He flew out of the Hyperion at extreme speed, smashing through building after building in the Elysian Realm, much to Klein's dismay.

The power of Finality was absolute. Without even using any Herrscher authority, she defeated Chrono, who was ranked highly among the Flame-Chasers, with a single blow.

"Done. Now we can have some peace!"

Kiana stretched languidly. That attack was quite troublesome because Chrono was too weak for her. She had to consider how much force to use to knock Chrono out without causing him to dissipate completely, even though this was the Elysian Realm.

"Who else wants to fight?" Kiana tilted her head, looking at Kevin and the others holding the Skyfire Greatsword. Even if she was feeling overconfident now, she wouldn't deflate like a certain purple pufferfish, because her strength was enough to destroy the world.

"Damn it, should I use Anti-Kevin Weaponry Model 666!" Vill-V, adjusting her hat, had a bold idea: to drag the entire Elysian Realm down with the Herrscher of Finality as a sacrifice.

"Alright, alright, I believe they aren't enemies," Elysia interjected. If the fight continued, more people would get hurt, which was something she didn't want to see.

They aren't enemies, and there's no need for that.

She also knew in her heart that even if they attacked together, along with Vill-V's weaponry, they couldn't do anything to the Herrscher of Finality, let alone Jana and the others. Fortunately, Zhang Wei and the others weren't their enemies; otherwise, the Elysian Realm would have become history today.

"Elysia, aren't you being biased because that red-haired guy is your follower!" Snake Snake glared at Elysia, as if looking at a traitor.

"Not at all."

Elysia's face turned bright red. Can you please not bring that up? I was about to forget that embarrassing experience, but now it's imprinted even more deeply in my mind. I can't forget it, even Feather Dust probably wouldn't help.

"Of course, we aren't enemies, isn't that obvious!"

"Amen~"

Zhang Wei said piously. Kevin and the others twitched their mouths, Elysia's pretty face turned red to the tips of her ears, while Eden watched Zhang Wei with great interest.
