Immer

[You handed the First Herrscher Core to Mei, and the transfer operation proceeded steadily.]

[During this time, Chiyou's adjutant, Immer, was chosen as one of the Thousand-Man Herrschers.]

[Immer, wielding a portion of the Herrscher of Death's Authority, continuously attacked his own comrades.]

[Due to the Herrscher of Death's Authority causing Immer to revive repeatedly, Immer was eventually suppressed in the mental plane by Su at the Fifth Science Department.]

[Mobius did not hide the fact that you recalled Klein's consciousness.]

[Afterward, Chiyou approached you.]

"..." Chiyou remained silent, staring intently at Yoshikage Kira.

Both of them knew what Chiyou wanted to say.

"What are the conditions," a deep voice rumbled from Chiyou's throat.

Yoshikage Kira, as usual, sat calmly sipping his tea.

"Damn it, I'm asking you what the conditions are!"

Seeing Yoshikage Kira's indifferent demeanor, Chiyou's temper flared instantly. He slammed his hand on the table, shouting at Yoshikage Kira.

"...You truly are as loyal and righteous as I imagined. Has your bond deepened so much in this short time?"

Yoshikage Kira paused for a moment, set down his teacup, and looked at Chiyou as he spoke.

"I can say that you genuinely consider him your... brother."

"But does he think so?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you going to help or not? Just say it." Chiyou grew impatient with Yoshikage Kira's inquiry.

"Klein experienced intense emotional fluctuations due to Mobius's death, which is how I was able to exploit the opportunity. Do you think Immer is capable of that?"

"Who will cause him to have emotional fluctuations? You? Or the comrades he killed?"

Faced with Yoshikage Kira's questioning, Chiyou fell silent.

"I should have known you were like this. It's laughable that I even came to beg you."

With that, Chiyou left.

Yoshikage Kira drained his tea and followed.

"Why are you following me? If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime."

"You won't give up, will you?"

"...Has anyone ever told you that your way of guessing others' thoughts is truly disgusting?"

Afterward, they arrived at the Fifth Science Department together. Chiyou went inside, while Yoshikage Kira simply stood guard at the entrance.

Sounds of fighting could be heard, but they soon quieted down.

A figure flew out of the Fifth Science Department, and it was clearly not Chiyou.

Yoshikage Kira walked into the Fifth Science Department and looked at Chiyou lying on the ground with a gaping hole in his chest.

Yoshikage Kira stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Are you giving up now?"

Chiyou remained motionless, playing dead on the ground.

"However, I have some good news for you. You won't be punished for letting Immer escape."

"What?! You..."

"My Killer Queen already touched him."

"Killer Queen, Sheer Heart Attack."

"Yoshikage Kira!!!" Chiyou roared, flames dancing around him, mirroring the rage in his heart.

"No, no, no, no, don't be so agitated. Go to sleep for a while, Chiyou."

Saying that, Yoshikage Kira punched Chiyou, knocking him unconscious.

"It's this way, hurry, hurry!"

Hearing people approaching, Yoshikage Kira tossed his own Thousand-Man Herrscher Core next to Chiyou and then turned to leave.

Later, the Flame Chasers concluded that Chiyou had killed Immer, who had transformed into a Thousand-Man Herrscher.

Chiyou, filled with rage, woke up and searched for Yoshikage Kira.

Meanwhile, Yoshikage Kira had already departed with the others for P21 Island to engage in a decisive battle with the Thousand-Man Herrschers.

As Mei had predicted, the Thousand-Man Herrschers gathered and launched a full-scale assault on P21 Island.

Yoshikage Kira's earlier sweep had significantly reduced the enemy numbers.

Coupled with the fact that everyone was already powerful, the Thousand-Man Herrschers' offensive was easily dismantled by the group.

"You don't understand my pain at all."

When only the last person remained, the crowd wanted to hear what trash talk the Herrscher would spew, so they held back from attacking.

The sole remaining Thousand-Man Herrscher recounted its tragic life, pouring out its hatred for humanity.

"Finished?" Yoshikage Kira asked when the Herrscher stopped.

"After hearing my story, you have no thoughts at all? Think about it..."

With a gentle press of his thumb, the Herrscher instantly turned to ash.

"What does your tragedy have to do with me."

"A shame I didn't get to use my Blank Key."

"You won't be needing it in the future either."

Mei didn't respond to Yoshikage Kira's words and then called for everyone to return to the Flame Chasers.

Before they even got off the plane, an enraged roar echoed from afar, piercing the clouds.

"Yoshikage Kira, you deserve to die!"

After the two had a few friendly spar sessions, Chiyou stopped bothering Yoshikage Kira.

Yoshikage Kira knew that what Chiyou truly resented was himself, for not being able to do anything.

Afterward, Yoshikage Kira went to the place where the Thousand-Man Herrscher's Herrscher Core was stored.

He crushed his own Herrscher Core.

Though it felt a bit strange, Yoshikage Kira knew he was no longer a Herrscher.

Speaking of which, why didn't I see the Honkai God.

Yoshikage Kira savored the feeling of being a Herrscher.

But... a Herrscher, huh. Still not as useful as a Stand.

With that thought, Yoshikage Kira left the place where the Herrscher Cores were stored.

Thus, the Tenth Honkai ended.
