• Miss Terra reveals a last-ditch option: Xiaoling can remove Miluno's heart, preventing the darkness from completing the Divine Descent Ritual — but only if Miluno/Great Will shows hostility toward her.
• Miluno's body forms a black crystalline shell ("god's cocoon") as her consciousness struggles internally in a tug-of-war. Xiaoling tries to extract the heart but fails, and her punch only hurts herself.

3. Significant Themes
