Himeko's Funeral: Backstabbed and Publicly Outraged

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Cang Xuan had clearly thought of this.

Fu Hua felt somewhat ashamed under her gaze.

The mob realized this and, using the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, summoned a powerful spiritual hand to firmly lock the unstoppable greatsword.

"Your ideals are impossible! This world has never been a good place!"

For the first time, the voice of the Herrscher of Domination fluctuated. It seemed to realize something, but it was unwilling to believe it, and dared not believe it.

Countless giant hands suppressed Kiana's consciousness, and even the core light on the greatsword seemed to dim considerably.

"No way!!!"

In the darkness, Kiana's azure eyes shone with a light of hope.

Countless beams of light pierced through the giant hands, exploding in the air into blue light representing hope, and the four Herrscher Gem on the greatsword lit up with dazzling light.

The ever-burning flame continues to burn.

Their indomitable will did not falter.

It is a flame roaring in the sky, and also the torch of human heritage.

At that moment, the song reached its peak.

Bronya tied her hair into a ponytail, Fu Hua put arm armor on her, Himeko draped a cloak of flames over her, giving her an indomitable will.

Kiana carries the expectations of too many people.

With this burning flame, let true red burn eternally; with this sword's light, let thunder roar; with this blazing wheel, let truth revolve; with this remaining light, let new life be engraved.

From the unwavering will passed down through generations, a Herrscher was born.

A unique Herrscher.

A Herrscher who fights for humanity.

Herrscher of Finality: Kiana Kaslana.

"Fight for all that is good in the world."

Elysia murmured to herself.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the theater shouted this phrase.

"Fight for all that is good in the world!"

Compared to Kiana, who became Herrscher, everyone else pales in comparison, given how astonishingly they were born.

Yaqing never cared about breaking even.

He poured all his funds into it, and had all the staff of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy work hard for it, just to create this moment of the arrival of the Flame.

Romantic and epic.

They held their breath, as if they dared not even breathe.

I gazed quietly at the large screen in front of me.

Flames gathered behind Kiana, Empyrean Greatsword in her hand displayed a different kind of combat power. Stepping on the flames, she launched a final battle against the Herrscher of Domination.

"The world is certainly not a good place, but there are people who tell me not to give up."

"They guided me and proved to me that the world wasn't so bad."

Kiana's words, devoid of any confusion, resonated in everyone's ears.

The mob summoned many cylinders, which gradually coalesced into a shield before Kiana unleashed her attack, hoping to block Kiana strike.

"I love them, and I love everything they love!"

Kiana cleaved the massive circular shield in two with a single sword strike, a scene as beautiful as a sunset, like the last ray of light in the darkness. That frame was wallpaper-worthy, stunning and captivating.

"This sword connects us; it will burn away the darkness of the sky and let the light shine further!"

A blazing flame erupted from the Empyrean Greatsword, illuminating Kiana's path.

Faced with Kiana's swift attack, the mob was driven to the brink of defeat. With no other choice, they mustered their last strength, and a deep green light gathered in front of them, emitting a terrifying ray.

Kiana, wielding the King's Sword, charged forward through the beams of light like a blazing flame, her indomitable will propelling her onward.

She knew she was definitely not alone.

She has people supporting her.

Theresa, Bronya, Mei, Fu Hua...

Their phantoms appeared behind Kiana, reaching out to propel her body and transferring power and will.

"This is... our way home!!!"

Kiana is shouting loudly.

The singing reached its peak once again.

Kiana effortlessly pierced through the Herrscher of Herrscher of Domination's terrifying ray.

She will transform into flames, bringing dawn to the dark and domineering airport, the light slowly shining on Bronya and Fu Hua's faces.

That was the dawn of justice.

The Herrscher of Domination exhausted its last bit of power and used its Authority of Reason to construct a protective shield.

Kiana, wielding the King's Sword, plummeted like a meteorite, crashing heavily onto the protective shield. Amidst the blazing flames, she seemed to sense something, and her pupils dilated sharply.

She slowly turned her head.

He watched as Himeko's illusory image, or perhaps just a fragment of her consciousness, gradually disappeared before his eyes.

Himeko didn't say a word, but just looked at Kiana with gentle eyes.

She smiled in the fire; she was reborn in the fire.

Having witnessed Kiana's transformation, he vanished without regret.

Everyone was stunned.

They didn't expect the screenwriter to bring Himeko out at this crucial moment to stab them in the back.

Especially that last expression, filled with relief and tenderness, made it hard not to shed tears.

That strike was too sudden.

No one could react in time; they all burst into tears.

This was also the last time Kiana saw Himeko.

Even Kalpas, who was telling a fabricated story, shed a tear at that moment. He had to admit that the story really hurt him, but... he wouldn't tell anyone.

["Ah!!!"

Kiana let out her final scream, pouring out all her emotions, before the flames consumed her completely.

It will completely devour the Herrscher of Domination.

Flames erupted, engulfing the entire world, and on the ruins that Theater of Domination, the remnants of the flames coalesced into a circle.

That was the sun that Kiana used to light Himeko's way of parting.

Silence.

The dark clouds Theater of Domination, and warm sunlight streamed in.

Only the final song remained.

May all good things be blessed.

Quiet.

Quiet.

It remained quiet.

"***..."

When the first person started clapping.

The applause was thunderous.

Everyone couldn't help but stand up; it was a sign of respect for and recognition of the work.

It's nothing more than the expressions on their faces—whether they're moved, in tears, or excited.

But in any case, Kiana did defeat the Herrscher of Domination and saved Fu Hua and Bronya.

But... Himeko left.

They didn't even know whether the appearance of Himeko in the final scene was Kiana's illusion or Himeko's consciousness.

But everyone tends to favor the latter, and it must be the latter.

She smiled and vanished in the fire; she began a new life in the fire.

At this moment, this scene transcends art.

Chapter 421 Himeko's Funeral: Backstabbing and Public Outrage.

As Elysia listened to the outro of "MoonHalo," she felt inexplicably melancholy and a sense of emptiness in her heart.

"Himeko..."

Elysia is still not over Himeko's departure.

"Mei, do you think the last scene was Kiana's hallucination, or Himeko's consciousness?"

Elysia suddenly realized this and subconsciously asked Mei, who was standing next to her.

The scene just now was so similar to Himeko's appearance in the Heavenly Meteor arc. Remember, Himeko in the Heavenly Meteor arc was Kiana's illusion, so what about the Burning Flames Forever...?

Elysia doesn't want it to be an illusion, nor can it be an illusion.

Therefore, we place our hopes on plum blossoms.

Mei looked at Elysia with an expression of utter despair.

"Elysia, I think it really is Himeko, not an illusion. Do you remember? When Kiana left the consciousness space, Himeko didn't disappear. Instead, she watched Kiana's departing figure."

Just as Elysia's face lit up with a happy expression, Mei poured cold water on her joy.

"But now Himeko is truly gone."

The joy that Elysia had mentioned vanished instantly.

"Himeko would be very gratified to see Kiana defeat the Herrscher of Domination before she disappeared..."

Vill-V sighed.

Elysia felt even worse.

Pardo cried her eyes out, but when she thought about Himeko seeing Kiana defeat the Herrscher of Domination, she felt a little happy, and her crying and laughing at the same time made her look extremely strange.

"Are there more knives coming?"

Sakura suddenly had a premonition that the screenwriter still had no intention of letting them off the hook.

"Big sister, don't scare me..."

Ling, already numb from the knife, choked up upon hearing Sakura's words.

"Maybe it's just my imagination."

Sakura offered a soft word of comfort.

If Yaqing were to hear this, he would surely think that the fox's intuition was truly accurate.

The Theater of Domination, now in disarray, is bathed in warm sunlight.

It seemed to illuminate the darkness of human nature.

Kiana gripped the Empyrean Greatsword, its tip pointing at the kneeling doll.

"You've lost."
