Hymn of Heavenly Grace
Yae Sakura Awakened.
The feeling of being drained and plundered was tearing at her soul, and of course she couldn't remain unresponsive.
The Miko stood silently in the desolate world.
This is the world of mental imagery.
Upon Awakened, I was greeted by a desolate scene of flames and utter ruin.
Only a few tree stumps with broken trunks remain in the original cherry blossom grove, and black ash is scattered all over the ground.
Everything withers, and a lonely wind carries the fragments of the remains towards the high and gray sky.
A soft light bloomed, Yae Sakura looked towards the source of the light.
It's the Golden Cross in my hand.
She couldn't help but laugh and said:
"What? You don't like this ending either?"
"Then do as you please, anyway, this was meant to be given away."
Yae Sakura thought of the boy's departing figure and the expression on his face as he took her sword, and her smile deepened.
Both Theresa and Su Qing'an are very, very good people.
I'm already in this state; there's nothing I can do to help you.
But it doesn't matter if this fading dream of my former self disappears completely for your sake.
Because you deserve it.
In such a Honkai world, without these two people, it would definitely be much less interesting.
Right, Kallen?
Yae Sakura firmly believed that the Saintess would think the same way, so she released her grip, and the cross shattered into a huge, pure light.
Light permeated the entire Imaginary World.
It descended upon the girl's side.
It is a cross.
Bathed in a warm glow, Theresa saw what appeared before her.
The Judas's Oath.
An incredible power surged through her body, and the girl stood up. Ignoring the roaring Demon Fox in the distance, she touched the cross with her palm in a daze.
Then, Theresa realized something.
This is not her Judah, but the Judah of the Saintess named Kallen Kaslana.
Although they are all the same Divine Key, they are different in this Stigmata Space, which is based on mental imagery.
They are definitely different.
As if embraced by a Saintess, Theresa smiled unconsciously.
That person must be very warm and gentle.
Several chains sculpted from light emerged from the cross.
Chains of light pierced through the girl's body, cleansing her of all her wounds and filth.
A new power flowed into her body, and a pure white robe and a dignified dress replaced her original nun's habit.
This is a dress that Otto made for Kallen in her early years, and now, the girl holding the Judas's Oath and wearing this dress inevitably evokes the image of the celebrated Saintess — Kallen Kaslana.
The Demon Fox could sense that familiar yet completely different power, and it roared:
"Why?! Why?! Even now, Kallen Kaslana, you're still haunting me?!"
Hiyori wasn't unaware of the essence of this power, but its manifestation was too stimulating to its senses.
Time and time again, again and again.
Human resistance is always like this: a mob that is usually just a bunch of rabble can suddenly burst into flames when it matters most.
How ugly! It was clearly a predetermined ending.
Of all things, only Honkai is inevitable.
Therefore, such meaningless behavior must be stopped.
The Demon Fox, having grasped the authority of the gods, was naturally incredibly arrogant. Now, its anger had reached its limit, and it coldly said:
"Fine, then let's just destroy you completely in this world. You're not even worthy of being called a ghost, so go obediently to hell!"
Honkai Energy sculpted dozens of enormous crimson Magatama, carrying temperatures so high they could melt through the air. The Magatama left behind illusory zones that distorted vision along their falling paths.
Theresa gazed at the world as if reborn, even though it was desolate and destroyed, the girl seemed to see something entirely different.
She listened quietly to the Demon Fox's angry rebuke and smiled:
"She's not even a ghost? But for some reason, at this moment, I feel like I'm experiencing the same thing she's going through."
"I might be able to understand now what Kallen Kaslana, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal five hundred years ago, longed for."
Just before the Magatama was about to fall, the girl gracefully performed an ancient ritual for the Demon Fox spirit, saying:
"Hiyori, even if it's just for Kallen Kaslana, I will kill you."
"In the name of Theresa Apocalypse."
The Judas's Oath unfolded a barrier shaped by light. The immense potential energy and gravity of the Magatama only caused a slight ripple in the barrier, while the rest of the Honkai Energy burst was easily annihilated.
It's strange, even though the defense was clearly created by my own will.
But at one moment, she felt that someone else was helping her to control and manipulate Judah.
This feeling is great.
The illusory, hazy shadows transformed into fuel for a burning fire within her, and the girl's azure eyes grew ever more resolute.
She won't lose.
Unlike his initial level of power, he was now stronger than ever before.
That's natural.
Because what she possesses is Yae Sakura's obsession with Kallen for the past five hundred years.
This emotion was incredibly profound, and it was precisely because of this that Yae Sakura was confident that she could bring Su Qing'an back to the mortal world. However, after being rejected by that boy, the cross returned to the Miko's side.
In truth, Yae Sakura had always been reluctant to part with it. No one understood better than her what this cross meant to her, but in the very end, she still chose to entrust it to someone else once again.
In that instant, the Miko may have completely let go of certain obsessions.
Su Qing'an's choice and Yae Sakura's decision ultimately resulted in Theresa, who is now capable of defeating Hiyori.
That pure and beautiful gown embodies the most beautiful and pure things in the world.
Theresa, who held this power in her hands, understood that if she were to lose, the things she would have failed would be even more profound.
The fact that we cannot afford to lose is already self-evident.
Theresa made her move. Each of her previous attacks had been imbued with a firm and chilling killing intent, but at this moment when she was at her strongest, her previously boiling killing intent completely vanished.
The girl gazed intently at the Demon Fox's appearance, serene and holy.
Her gaze held only determination and compassion.
The girl didn't seem to be engaged in a life-or-death battle, but rather seemed to be performing a prayer.
But how could a nun's prayer be tainted with murderous intent?
It must be solemn, it must be serious, and it must be gentle.
The Demon Fox demon roared through gritted teeth, unable to bear the fury tearing at its consciousness any longer. With its limbs writhing in flames, it exerted its strength.
The Demon Fox spirit's body leaped down, casting a massive shadow over the sky.
The Hiyori screams of Higokumaru reached my ears.
"If you can do it, why don't you give it a try!"
"That's it! That's it! We're clearly two different people, so why are we so similar?! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
The Demon Fox demon chewed the Honkai Energy in its mouth haphazardly, and a stream of fire gathered in its beastly mouth shone with a blazing light. It opened its mouth, and the expanding Honkai Energy burst out in a violent rhythm.
The Honkai Energy manipulation was so arbitrary and capricious that it was almost haphazard. A violent burst of flames landed on the barrier, followed by the sharp claws of the Demon Fox.
With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered.
