Chapter 361
Kiana suddenly felt dizzy, as if the entire space had turned upside down.
"Gravity has reversed?"
Kiana leaped suddenly, landing on the high platform, standing upright in the opposite position.
"Can the Herrscher of Domination even accomplish something like this? Or was this place originally a domain under his control?"
Before I could think, several threads came flying from behind.
Kiana leaped up and spun in the air to dodge the entangled threads, but to her surprise, the threads Herrscher of Domination bypassed her and headed towards Bronya and Fu Hua.
Kiana suddenly realized what was happening and tried to stop them, but the threads moved too fast, binding Bronya and Fu Hua tightly in an instant.
Kiana could only watch helplessly as the Herrscher of Domination took her companion away.
"Are you angry? Are you angry?" The voices of the Thousand-Man Herrscher came from all directions.
"Why struggle in vain? Why resist in futile ways? Meaningless existence, meaningless life, vanish, meaningless world!"
With a loud boom, the entire space began to spin again.
Kiana was lifted to a high place and fell downwards along with the boulders on the ground.
Kiana landed abruptly. "Is she trying to trap me here?"
This is the theater of power, a stage for a thousand people.
The dolls appeared one after another, launching an attack on Kiana.
"We are the will of a thousand, the despair of a thousand. Despair will not disappear, we will not disappear!"
"What created us was human hatred, and what will destroy us can only be human malice!"
Kiana fired a shot, the bullet shattering the head of a doll.
Kaslana Gun Fu versatile, allowing her to engage in close combat or retreat at will. The young girl's movements are like dancing on a battlefield, with bullets from her gun shattering one doll after another.
Until the very last giant doll.
Kiana threw away her dual pistols, and a greatsword appeared in her hand.
She leaped high into the air and plunged her sword into the abdomen of the giant doll, shattering it into flames.
After doing all this, Kiana slowly wiped the corner of her mouth. "It's over."
The battle with the Herrscher of the Void, followed immediately by the battle with the Thousand-Man Herrscher, even with the Kaslana bloodline's blessing, it's truly a struggle for Kiana to have lasted this long.
Just as she felt relieved, a dark mist swept up over the entire Theater of Domination.
"We will not disappear, despair will not disappear."
You can't change this ugly world, you can't change the malice in people's hearts!
In a pitch-black world, the voices of puppets came from all directions, and countless arms manipulated countless threads.
The spotlight suddenly turned on.
Kiana looked up and saw that Bronya and Fu Hua were bound by silk threads.
"Bronya, squad leader..."
The Dominus manipulated the arms, and puppets fell one after another, surrounding Kiana completely.
"Kiana, give up struggling. Without the power of Herrscher, you are nothing but a weakling."
"Let them go!"
Kiana's arm gripping the greatsword trembled, and she flashed in front of the doll, slicing it into pieces with a single strike.
"I have a strong belief, but I am powerless to change it."
The Dominus manipulated the threads, tightly strangling Bronya's neck.
"Stop it!"
Kiana swung her greatsword and severed the head of a doll.
But her head was covered in threads, and there were just too many puppets—so many that she couldn't possibly kill them all.
"Relying solely on a so-called sense of justice and morality is ultimately nothing more than self-indulgence. The malice in people's hearts cannot change this ugly world."
The dolls swarmed forward and tackled Kiana to the ground.
At that moment, a flash of blue light appeared in Kiana's pupils, and several Void Lance pierced towards the arm that controlled Bronya and Fu Hua.
However, everything in the Theater of Domination was already under the control of the Thousand-Man Herrscher.
The silk threads firmly locked the Void Lance.
With a tug, the Dominus, and several threads instantly taut, shattering the Void Lance. Bronya and Fu Hua were also bleeding.
The Thousand-Man Herrscher scoffed, "See? You can't even protect them."
Kiana struggled to lift her head, but was pressed to the ground by the combined force of several puppets.
The puppets gradually drew closer, like two large hands, enclosing Kiana and gripping her tightly.
"This is the end for humanity; we are all losers. They have already fallen, and you are the last."
Darkness gradually enveloped Kiana's vision, and even her clear pupils lost their luster.
In the moments before she drifted into unconsciousness, the image that appeared in her eyes was that of Himeko Murata.
"No, I won't... They never give up, and now... I'm going to do what I have to do!"
Kiana struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the restraints of the Thousand-Man Herrscher.
"I'm going to tell everyone that their choice was right!"
The greatsword was right in front of her. The moment Kiana grabbed it, a crimson light erupted from within her, repelling the mountain of dolls.
The dolls were thrown high into the air, then crashed to the ground and shattered.
The Thousand-Man Herrscher exclaimed in disbelief, "What?"
"Your attack is over. Now it's my turn. No objections, right?"
Kiana stepped forward and punched the doll in the abdomen. Using the momentum of her waist, she spun the greatsword in her hand and shattered the head of another doll.
Why bother standing up? No matter how much you struggle, the outcome won't change!
The Dominus manipulated the puppets and swarmed forward.
Several ropes pierced past Kiana, then changed direction and bound her tightly.
Several puppets pulled on the ropes, holding her firmly in place.
The other puppets didn't miss the opportunity and leaped up to attack Kiana from behind. Kiana turned her head, but the ropes binding her made her unable to move.
At the critical moment, a blue beam of light pierced through the doll's body from the side, causing both the Thousand-Man Herrscher and Kiana to freeze for a moment before turning to look at Bronya lying on the ground.
Kiana doesn't care what you're saying, because she's an idiot, and only an idiot would give up.
"Fire!"
The Key of Reason, constructed by the Herrscher Authority of Reason, surrounded the entire Theater of Domination and unleashed a barrage of fire.
After the relentless bombardment, the Thousand-Man Herrscher had lost their controllable puppets.
The Dominus slowly raised their arms, and the entire Theater of Domination slowly rose, revealing the true nature of this world.
A world composed of black fog and sky.
The Dominus lowered their arms, and the building that had just risen suddenly sank, crashing down on Kiana and burying the entire Theater of Domination.
A feather fell from the sky.
Fu Hua, lying in the ruins, had lost the ability to move, but the authority of the Herrscher of Reason remained within her body.
"She changed me, and in the future, she will change many more people. I want to witness that day come."
A cluster of cherry blossom-colored feathers gathered together; a flash of light, and the feathers burst open.
Chapter 586 The Flame of Fire, Unbreakable
Kiana, wielding her greatsword, slashes down at the Dominus: "I will not stop here!"
Another gem on the greatsword lit up, Kiana's entire body burst into flames, transforming into a crimson meteor that incinerated the arm of the Thousand-Man Herrscher.
"Your ideals are impossible to achieve; the world has never been a beautiful place!"
The Thousand-Man Herrscher gathered all their arms and pushed Kiana into the sky.
That's not true!
The light of the four gems illuminated the greatsword, and Kiana raised it high, its blazing light shining like the sun.
"The world is certainly not a good place, but there are people who encourage me not to give up. They guide me and prove to me that the world isn't so bad."
"I love them, and I love everything they love."
"This sword connects us; it will burn away the darkness of the sky, allowing light to shine further afield. This is the way home for me and everyone else!"
Once the dark sky is burned away, the light will travel to even farther places.
Kiana gripped her greatsword, cleaving through the obstacles in her path, burning away the sun, moon, and stars.
Himeko Murata's story ends here, but her journey continues.
They will transform into raging flames that burn the starry sky, utterly destroying the Theater of Domination.
Such fierce fire can surely be cut down without fail.
Pardofelis: "Oh! Oh! I won!"
Himeko Murata: "This is the kind of spirit we should have to fight against the Honkai! Humanity should have this kind of determination to defeat the Herrscher!"
The previous Herrscher seemed to have won but not won; she won the battle, but lost the comrades who could have fought alongside her against the Honkai.
Only this victory over the Thousand-Man Herrscher has reignited everyone's belief in fighting the Honkai.
Kiana: "Having burned the earth and stars and obtained four gems, I've become this strong? Does that mean I can surpass Durandal?"
Kiana saw clearly the final sword strike that shattered the Theater of Domination.
To be honest, she didn't think she could unleash such power, but the facts were undeniable!
Kiana has already started daydreaming.
Bronya: "You idiot Kiana, do you even believe that yourself?"
Kiana: "Why don't you believe me? Didn't you all see it? The power of that attack was evident to everyone."
A strike that shattered the sun, moon, and stars!
Could Chakravartin calamities of fury achieve that? Visually speaking, it would be only slightly weaker than Kevin's desperate strike that pierced through the Herrscher of Corruption.
The Kiana began to swell.
Welt: "I'm sorry, Kiana, that was just a visual experience. What you shattered wasn't the real world, but merely the Theater of Domination created by Thousand-Man Herrscher."
Kiana: "Huh?"
It's fake, it's fake!
Bronya: "What else? Kiana just puts on a big show; the quad-core greatsword looks impressive, that's all."
Seele: "Sister Bronya, isn't it a bit mean to say that about Kiana?"
Bronya: "I'm just reminding some idiot so she doesn't get carried away and do dangerous things."
Everyone has witnessed Kiana's true character.
In times of danger, she always puts herself in the most dangerous place, always causing people to worry.
Himeko Murata: "This time, I'm on Bronya's side. Kiana, don't always try to shoulder everything alone. The mission to defeat the Honkai shouldn't be yours to bear alone."
Kiana: "I just wanted to test myself because I thought I was so amazing, but it turns out it was all fake."
What a disappointment!
Elysia: "It's not fake, it's probably due to the special nature of Theater of Domination."
Kiana: "What do you mean?"
