Becoming Starlight, Never to Fade! Himeko Sacrifices Herself to Save the Lost Maiden's Soul
"To ignite the hope of another life with one's own life. To pave the way for lost students with one's own death."
Tang San's words stunned everyone.
Chang Gong. Wei sighed, "To die for one's principles... how heroic!"
A'Dai 'Mandun eyes, which always held a hint of madness, now became clear and complex. "Using destruction to interpret protection... Interesting."
Lei Xiang, Hai Long, Ye Yinzhu, Zi... these once powerful figures who once dominated the scene were all silent at this moment.
In Himeko, they saw something both familiar and unfamiliar—an indomitable will belonging to mortals.
In the scene, Himeko's white hair dances wildly with burning Life Force as she pulls out the Subspace Lance that pierces her abdomen, letting the blood gush out.
She raised the greatsword in her hand, and the flames on the sword were no longer red, but had turned into a dazzling pure white!
That was the radiance of life burning to its fullest!
"You...!" For the first time, the Kong Law User's unchanging indifferent expression wavered.
She sensed a threat emanating from the pure white flames.
It wasn't a threat to her power, but a... provocation against the "Honkai" will she represented!
How dare a mortal defy the will of God in such a resolute way!
"Get... out of my student's body!"
Himeko let out her final roar; her voice was hoarse, yet it carried a power that pierced the heavens and earth.
She transformed into a pure white streak of light, trailing a long fiery tail, and charged towards the Kong Law User.
This sword strike embodies her entire life, her entire will, and all her love and protection.
"The Valkyrie's vow: Never give up!!"
The Kong Law User contracted sharply as she frantically created layers upon layers of spatial rifts in front of her, attempting to block this desperate attack.
But it didn't work!
That white light was unstoppable!
It tore through space, severed the Laws, and disregarded Authority!
Boom--!!!!
The entire Imaginary Space was swallowed by this pure white light.
The Douluo gods were met with a blinding white light; they could see nothing at all.
All they could hear was Himeko's final, seemingly soul-searching cry echoing in their ears.
The light lasted for a very, very long time.
When the light finally faded.
The figure of the Kong Law User appeared, clutching her chest, a trickle of golden blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her Herrscher attire torn, and her aura becoming disordered.
She was injured.
Although she wasn't seriously injured, she was indeed hurt by a mortal.
And Himeko...
Her 'Godslayer' armor had shattered into pieces, peeling off like weathered rock.
The greatsword in her hand also lost all its luster and broke in two.
She floated silently in the air, her eyes closed, a peaceful smile on her face.
The Breath of Life has completely vanished.
"Teacher..."
A mournful cry, like the lament of a cuckoo weeping blood, emanated from the Kong Law User.
But that wasn't the voice of the Herrscher.
It's Kiana.
It was the soul of that white-haired girl, deep within her body, that uttered a desperate cry.
Himeko's body began to slowly fall.
Towards that bottomless Abyss of imaginary numbers, which devours everything.
"No... no!!!! Teacher Himeko!!!!"
Kiana's consciousness struggled frantically, trying to regain control of her body, trying to reach out and grab the falling red.
But it was all in vain.
She could only watch helplessly.
She looked at the teacher who was always helpless against her, yet always supported her from behind.
Looking at the woman who taught her her final lesson with her life.
Little by little, I sank into darkness, swallowed by endless Nihility.
The entire Douluo God Realm was deathly silent.
Niu Tian and Tai Tan, two towering men, had red eyes.
Ning Rongrong and Tang Ya were already sobbing uncontrollably.
Even the Dragon Prince, a proud dragon by nature, lowered his head, whether in mourning or in expressing respect, it was unclear.
Rong Nianbing closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
"Ultimate sorrow... ultimate protection... This 'Crimson Rose' is too strong..."
The scene of Wang Dong'er sacrificing herself for him flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, and the intense pain he felt made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Tang San gently embraced Xiao Wu beside him; he could feel his wife trembling.
He looked up, watching the red figure in the image completely disappear into the darkness, and said, word by word.
"She is not dead."
"She simply... transformed into light, forever illuminating the path that girl walked."
The image finally freezes.
The image is frozen on Kiana's face, which is covered in tears and filled with pain, regret, and confusion.
Deep within her consciousness, Himeko's last voice softly echoed.
"Raise your head, Kiana."
"This is... the last lesson."
"Be brave... and keep going."
Images flowed across the Light Screen.
That battlefield, a tapestry of crimson and pure white, resembled a frozen oil painting, filled with the poignant tragedy of the apocalypse.
On the bridge of the Hyperion, a red-haired woman, Himeko, no longer stood tall, and the blood at the corner of her mouth was a shocking sight.
But her eyes burned with an unprecedented light.
Before her lay a syringe, its contents a deep blue liquid, exuding a mysterious yet dangerous aura.
Inside the Seat of the Gods, there was a deathly silence.
The gods of the Douluo God Realm, as well as the powerful beings from different worlds, all held their breath.
What is that?
Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye to its fullest extent, attempting to analyze the ingredients of the potion.
He could sense a peculiar energy within it, possessing both destructive suppressive power and seemingly containing some kind of... life force?
These two diametrically opposed attributes have been perfectly blended together.
Even with his God King level of vision, he had never seen such a bizarre creation.
"It's some kind of inhibitor."
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye were fixed on the scene, and his Divine Power could perceive the energy flow on that battlefield more clearly.
"Within that girl named Kiana, two consciousnesses are battling each other. One is her own, extremely weak. The other... is filled with destruction, violence, and hatred, like cancer in the universe!"
He had never felt such pure malice before; the power of it made even this God of Emotion tremble.
"This red-haired woman wants to use this potion to awaken the girl's original consciousness."
Rong Nianbing, the former first God of Emotion, spoke with a heavy tone.
"But this medicine will likely come at a high price."
He could sense that Himeko's life force was fading away at an alarming rate, like a candle flickering in the wind.
She was risking her life to ignite that potion.
In the scene, Himeko did not hesitate at all.
