Mei's overjoyed expression was reflected in Kiana's eyes, causing her gaze to tremble violently.
Kiana had imagined many scenarios for their reunion, but none like this moment, this occasion, or this way.
After months apart, Mei rushed up and immediately hugged Kiana, whom she hadn't seen in a long time!
Tears of joy welled up in Mei's eyes as she hugged Kiana tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, the girl in front of her would disappear.
However, compared to Mei's joy and excitement, Kiana's expression was intriguing. She turned her face away with no joy at the reunion and even a hint of sadness.
Kiana felt a sense of panic. Sirin's earlier comment in the Nightmare Corridor that "she's a monster" pierced Kiana's heart like a needle.
Even though Mei held her tightly without a care, Kiana still felt resentful.
"Kiana, I'll take you back. Come on, everyone's waiting for you."
Mei happily gripped Kiana's hands tightly, and she wasn't lying; Kiana's aunt Theresa, as well as herself and Bronya, were all Kiana's good friends.
Even Anti-Entropy, which Mei initially viewed as a rival organization to Schicksal, treated Kiana with great kindness.
However, Kiana fell silent when Mei asked her to take her back.
Does going back mean she can return to the happy daily life she had at St. Freya Academy? Can she still laugh and joke around with her friends and stand in front of them as if nothing happened?
Her current task... what she must do is...
The phantom of Fu Hua beside Kiana reminded her that the crisis facing Sky City was extremely urgent.
So Kiana could only slowly pry Mei's hands off and leave Mei's embrace.
"I'm sorry, I can't let you take that risk."
"This is something I must do."
"Let me deal with what I'm dealing with now before we talk about anything else."
……
The scene shifts, and in the center of the screen is only a bomb flashing a desperate purple light.
"That's... Honkai energy?!"
The crowd in front of St. Freya Academy stared in disbelief at the bomb displayed on the light screen, their brows furrowed.
They had never seen such intense Honkai energy before; the bomb's power was comparable to that of an atomic bomb!
Once that Honkai energy bomb explodes in Sky City, the entire city's inhabitants...!
"What organization is conducting this experiment, and why are they dragging the entire city into it?!"
The questioners' doubts remained unanswered, and the scene on the screen shifted back to Kiana and Mei.
Although they didn't know the full story behind what happened in Sky City, everyone had a vague idea—
Kiana is about to deal with that terrifying Honkai energy bomb.
The phantom of Fu Hua beside Kiana transferred all her power to Kiana, offering her final help and leaving behind her final words of advice:
"Kiana, go do what you should do."
"The deceased are gone; they cannot see how you changed the world, but those who are alive can."
"...Thank you, class monitor."
Kiana clutched the crimson feather tightly in her hands; with the help of that feather, she could now exert all her power as the Herrscher of the Void…
Then, her gaze fell on Mei.
"Mei, stay here and don't move."
While Kiana and Fu Hua were talking, Mei already understood what Kiana was going to do, but she couldn't stop Kiana.
She knew Kiana wouldn't stop, and could only watch helplessly as Kiana disappeared into the distance, her lips trembling.
Friends who used to share everything fell silent at this moment, their unspoken feelings seemingly unspoken.
Immediately, Kiana's lithe figure flashed past in the moonlight and disappeared into the unseen night.
In the perilous night of Sky City, a young girl skillfully evaded the pursuit of the Anti-Entropy mechs.
With only the baseball bat she had used before, she dodged left and right amidst the anti-entropy mechs' cannon fire and heavy punches.
Although Kiana's agility, combined with the Taixu Sword Technique taught by Fu Hua, allows her to fight without using Honkai energy, she will inevitably reveal weaknesses when surrounded.
Just as Titan's powerful punch was about to strike the girl's seemingly frail body, everyone's hearts skipped a beat—
Kiana's eye revealed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, and the barrier formed by Honkai energy easily blocked the Titan's heavy punch.
Even the missiles that struck unexpectedly fell silent the moment they approached the girl.
Kiana has mastered the powers of the Herrscher of the Void and made them her weapon.
Stepping over those missiles, Kiana finally arrived before the Honkai Bomb, which shone with a despairing light.
That terrifying destructive energy prevented anything from getting close; any ordinary person who appeared before it would be instantly annihilated.
Even Kiana, who has an extremely strong ability to adapt to Honkai energy, and even now that she has mastered some of the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, is still being corrupted by the terrifying Honkai energy...
However, her body could no longer feel pain. Kiana continued to let Honkai energy corrode her fingertips, leaving horrifying and shocking wounds on her skin, mercilessly tearing at her body.
The girl's steps never faltered; her two braids flew behind her as Kiana pressed on, braving the blinding light of Honkai energy.
The instant the bomb was touched, the sudden surge of Honkai energy rose to an unimaginable level.
Even under the protection of her Herrscher powers, Kiana still covered her eyes in anguish, her arm gripping the bomb beginning to crumble and disintegrate.
Just as the girl was on the verge of despair, it was as if an illusory hand covered hers and tightly grasped the bomb together.
"Kiana"
Kiana, who was gritting her teeth in agony, was stunned, as if a figure as vibrant and fiery red as a rose was standing beside her.
"Himeko... teacher?"
She smiled amidst the flames, quietly observing everything.
It's as if, even though she's gone, Himeko is still watching Kiana, watching her student, watching how she protects the beauty of this world.
Kiana followed that crimson figure, carrying her blessings and gratitude.
"I...promised you..."
"I will turn this imperfect story... into the one we hope for!"
How could two people holding hands not be steady?
The Honkai energy that had eroded Kiana's arms beyond recognition was countered by the power surging from her body, and the erosion receded like a tide!
As the girl's roar echoed through the sky, the Honkai Bomb suddenly burst into a brilliant burst of light!
The girl, all alone, supported the deadly bomb and rushed into the dark night sky!
When a bomb containing enough Honkai energy to destroy an entire city was launched into the sky, a dazzling purple streak, like a meteor, left a striking trail across the heavens.
The girl's figure danced in the air, Kiana fully wielding the power of the Herrscher of the Void, her Valkyrie white bodysuit revealing a queenly demeanor amidst the flashes of Honkai energy.
The boots and skirt of the Queen of the Sky and the Herrscher of the Void, along with the spear of the sub-Void, were clearly visible. However, at this moment, Kiana's eyes were no longer corrupted by the Herrscher's power.
Those clear, deep blue eyes still shone with the colors that belonged to Kiana!
The city lights and the night sky could not obscure the brilliance of the shooting star; the girl held the "purple shooting star" high, shooting it backwards into the sky.
As people spent what seemed like yet another ordinary day under the lamplight, they looked up in bewilderment at a shooting star streaking backwards in the sky.
With an ice crystal scythe strapped to her back and dressed in an S-class Valkyrie armor, Rita wore a meaningful smile, as if she were pleased that the shooting star had reversed its course, or as if she were watching a good show begin.
Mei, who was waiting in the same spot, looked up at the night sky. Her eyes trembled violently as she saw the purple shooting star reflected in them. Her expression was filled with worry, sadness, and grief.
She knew it was Kiana, but her once close friend, who had traveled with her, was like a shooting star streaking across the sky—seemingly within reach, yet worlds apart.
When the meteor, gleaming with a desperate purple light, finally broke through the sky and soared beyond this blue planet!
The girl, who held the power of the Herrscher of the Void tightly in her hand, spread her wings and soared into the sky, heading towards the enormous full moon she had never seen before!
Until she disappeared above the sea of clouds and vanished from everyone's sight, the girl's shimmering wings shattered with a deafening roar.
Yu Duchen exerted all his strength to protect Kiana, and at this moment, he finally burned out his last bit of power.
Kiana's battered and bruised body, weathered by time, finally succumbed to this power. With furrowed brows and gritted teeth, she hurled the Honkai energy bomb from her hand.
In an instant, a roar like the aurora borealis in broad daylight resounded, and the girl's figure was submerged in the purple light that covered half of the blue planet!
A fleeting purple glow in the sky caught the attention of countless people, who looked up but could only catch a glimpse of that ephemeral light.
The magnificent purple clouds were breathtakingly beautiful, yet they exuded a chilling, trembling despair.
No one could have imagined that amidst that terrifying and poignant scene, a young girl faced the deafening roar of destruction, ultimately collapsing from the sky, exhausted...
The unimaginable roar seemed to tell a heart-wrenching story unfolding in places unseen by the people of Sky City, but what remained in the memories of the people of Sky City was only the purple shooting star that streaked across the night sky that day, and the dazzling aurora borealis that illuminated the world...
[Celestial Meteor], the curtain falls...
........................
........................
After the curtain fell on [Celestial Meteor], the students of St. Freya Academy stared blankly at the frozen light screen, overwhelmed with shock and emotion.
The city of Tianqiong, which flashes by in the footage, and the people living in that city.
Their lives, their ordinary daily routines, were preserved only because of Kiana's sacrifice and dedication...
That girl who once teetered on the brink of collapse in the corridor of nightmares, saw herself as a monster, and dared not touch her family and friends.
The girl who had been on the run for months, exhausted and worn out from the pursuit.
She cultivated with all her might, trying to master the overwhelming power that didn't belong to her.
Even in the most critical moments, she didn't let her relatives and friends who were afraid to approach her risk their lives, and shouldered that heavy burden alone.
She gave up the chance to reunite with everyone, to return to St. Freya Academy.
Because only she, possessing the power of a Herrscher, has the ability to launch a Honkai energy bomb into the sky, ensuring the safety of the people of Sky City.
Only she could withstand the corrosive effects of Honkai energy at such close range, even though it still left her covered in wounds.
Only she could push the Honkai energy bomb into the sky, even if it would put her in a desperate situation.
