I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Moreover, for Setsuna, she was the last remaining jewel. If even she were lost, Setsuna would be left with nothing.

Even knowing this, Himuro Reia had to do it because she firmly believed she would succeed.

Gathered on Himuro Reiai's altar of sacrifice are the fragments of those who have died in battle against Mara until now.

In terms of the quality of the offerings, this was absolutely of an unprecedented high standard.

"【Ah, please believe in my heart, ah, please believe, you have lost nothing!】"

"What is mine is what I desire; what is mine is what my heart desires and loves, which has descended upon us for the sake of war."

The Divine Palace collects and gathers fragments of divinity and fragments of everyone's soul.

Meanwhile, from the side of the Divine Throne, Mercury and Reiji also sent over the desire for the deformed cysts that Mary had purified.

When the Golden Beast threw the Sun Prince to Eternal Setsuna, it probably already considered this possibility.

This was the time that Reinhardt had identified the malformed cyst.

The remaining soul essence, along with everyone's fragments, is enough to form the foundation for this girl to soar once again.

The victory that everyone believes in, the form of victory that they define.

It was the moment when Rei Himuro risked her entire soul to elevate herself.

"[Ah, believe it, you were not born in vain! You did not come to suffer merely to gain life!]"

"Nothing that is born can remain forever."

"What is destroyed can never be prevented from rising again!"

The fragments of divine essence within the Eight Directions Formation, the remnants of everyone's souls, the lingering compassion of twilight, and Himuro Rei's own soul will all be offered up to Setsuna, who bears everyone's prayers.

It would have been impossible to offer sacrifices of equal rank. Although the divine ranks of Gold, Twilight, Wheel of Life, Crimson, and Black Heaven had been shattered beyond recognition, they were originally domineering gods and naturally could not be compatible with their own kind.

If they still existed, it would be impossible for them to do this.

But because it was completely shattered, it was possible, which was ironic for them, as the only ones who could help were the dead.

"Stop trembling! To survive, adjust yourself!"

A prayer, a strong prayer, a longing for those we cherish to descend upon us with greater qualifications.

Even if the other party does not want it, and it goes against their wishes, one still prays frantically.

"Ah, pain! You permeate everything!"

"【O death! You were once the conqueror of all, but now I am fleeing from your judgment!】"

Above the ever-expanding, eternally fleeting dominance, the girl also unfolds a simulated outpouring, a simulated dominance, and this is her final ritual.

It will house and sacrifice everyone's prayers, everyone's souls, all the fragments of divinity, including all the power of the goddess of dusk.

At the same time, the girl also dedicated everything to Setsuna.

For her, being able to help even for a moment is the reason she continues to exist.

"【——Tai Chi——】"

Is this supposed leak the Sacred Cabinet in the Pot, the Immortal Creation, the Altar of Life Offering?

No, that's not it.

The one who gives is not given a golden beast, but an eternal moment.

Setsuna neither liked nor needed immortality.

All she needs is...

"【——Divine Mantra and Divine Power, Uninterrupted Unity (Everyone)——】"

Pain coursed through Himuro Reia's entire body as she savored the final blessing, giving all the offerings from the altar to Setsuna.

This is the complete dedication of existence; the girl's wish was fulfilled in a perfect form, and her desire elevated the divine power of the eternal moment.

Please, you must defeat Mara.

This isn't the end for us. We'll definitely meet again... on that rooftop, under the sunlight... together...

Continuing to fuel her desires, in the final moment of her soul's dissipation, the girl's face revealed a smile and a blessing.

As if merging with the world, with the world of a fleeting moment, the soul of the girl named Himuro Reia dissipated into golden dust and mist.

At that instant, the divine essence resonated, unleashing a roar filled with rage capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth.

"Ughh ...

Hearing and accepting the prayers and desires of all his companions, in a moment of anger—no, in an instant of rage that transcended grief and indignation—he let out a roar and scream.

The chanting of Himuro Rei'ai and the activation of her desires within the Great Crimson Lotus Hell just now occurred because of the moment when the Great Crimson Lotus Hell was lengthened.

Therefore, although the physical body of the deity could not be restored to its original state, the soul was indeed elevated in an unparalleled way.

Because... the Tai Chi Boundless Great Red Lotus Hell has truly been born.

"[It overflows infinitely, as vast as the ocean (EsschaeumtdasMeerinbreitenFluessen)]."

"[Only the lingering brilliance of the seabed remains eternal (AmtiefenGrundderFelsenauf)]"

At this time, Fujii Ren, who was constantly fighting and killing with Mara, underwent an astonishing transformation from the inside out.

A glance, a breath, no matter how small the thing

Her every move was like the great work of God, and the truth that flowed forth was no different from a prison that brought all things to a standstill.

Countless viewers could see that while Fujii Ren's body was shattering, it was also rapidly regenerating.

But the other party was not happy about this at all; their face showed no emotion other than grief and indignation.

In that instant, she vowed to protect everything she cherished, but in the end, she could only carry everyone's last wishes as she moved forward.

The fragments that continuously merge into the body can be heard with unmistakable clarity in their prayers.

"Lian, don't lose!"

'Don't catch up with us so quickly.'

'Ren, I love you the most, and I love everyone the most...'

'Rhodes, advance towards the moment you acknowledge.'

"[Swift as the eternal stars, galloping here (UndFelsundMeerwirdfortgerissenInewigschnellemSphaerenlauf).]"

Even if only one person is left, we must fight to the end.

'Your wish is granted; I bestow upon you the highest praise.'

'I do not accept a victory for Mara.'

Try to surpass me, even just once.

Thank you for saving me; I give you this light!

"[I earnestly request that this wish reach the ears of Heaven and be granted (DochdeineBoten)]."

At this moment, facing the Great Desire Realm's Heavenly Dog Path, which possesses immeasurable divine power, Setsuna, upholding the last wish left by everyone, bestowed upon himself the wish to cease, and was exiled as the supreme divine deed.

At this moment, she understands better than anyone the people who entrusted her with their last wishes.

Without anything to protect, no matter how grief-stricken or unwilling he was, Eternal Moment could only continue forward, relentlessly charging ahead.

She already knew why everyone was like this, and although she understood, it was too painful.

For the first time in such a sorrowful situation, I carried the weight of everyone's will and was burdened with the hopes of victory.

Everyone knows that Setsuna cares about his companions, which is why he acted this way.

Moreover, it wasn't just Himuro Rei-senpai who felt this way; Mary did too.

Although it was cruel, painful, and unfair to Fujii Ren, it was the only way to do it, because he believed...

"【A peaceful world, a tranquil world, may it last forever (Herr,verehrenDassanfteWandelndeinesTags).】"

The peaceful and tranquil world that Fujii Ren longed for is exactly what everyone, most of the prayers, desires.

She understood the longing of her childhood friend—no, precisely because it was her, she understood him better than anyone else.

This effect is a denial of divinity.

"[The free people and the free world, seeking their cause here (Auffreiem Grundmitfreiem Volkestehn, Zum Augenblickeduerftichsagen)."]

Originally, it was unusable in the moment when the soul's desire was stirred up by Himuro Reiai's altar.

Because her understanding is that 'what is lost will never come back,' which is the most important precept of divinity.

Originally, it was impossible to use the power of a god pillar of the same rank through a god fragment, but Skadi and Marie's desires were involved.

Transcendence and coexistence, as well as the self-destructive factor's denial of divinity, all unfavorable concepts are negated at this moment.

so---

"[Stop, time, for you are more beautiful than anything else (Verweiledochdubistsoschon)]"

The shattered souls of everyone involved in the battle carried their purest prayers and the heavy weight of losing something important.

The more you cherish something, the less you want to lose it, so you want to stop it from being lost.

This heavy will, this superhuman desire, began to swell and grow in this instant, in this moment.

At this moment, Setsuna is no longer a protective shield, but a blade to defeat Mara, carrying everyone's will to defeat Mara's slaying blade.

Connecting to the principle of eternal return of the Mercury Serpent, the principle of Avici Hell freezes Mara's actions along with the opponent's fluctuations. The divine power flows continuously, shaking Mara and pushing him into the vortex of return.

Of course, this doesn't mean we can defeat Mara head-on with 100% certainty; it's just to buy more time.

"[I pray to you forever, that you may guide me to the highest peak (DasEwig-WeiblicheZiehtunshinan)]"

The end for Fujii Ren is always the moment he spends with everyone, under the sunlight where he coexists with Mary.

In her sincere longing, that moment could never be replaced, it was as eternal as eternity.

Now she is ready to charge forward once again towards that goal.

Just as the Mercury Serpent had told her, in the eternal cycle, her end was the beginning.

As long as you keep running, you will definitely be able to reach it again one day!

So she wanted to keep running, to keep pushing forward.
