……

Meanwhile, Theresa stared intently at the Herrscher of Knowledge in the image, sensing that something was wrong.

"Wait, all my students have become Herrschers... What about me??"

Theresa, comforted by Himeko's pat on the head, angrily vents her frustration, and then a new title appears on the screen, with Kiana's figure reappearing:

[Ignite the flames of tomorrow, Herrscher of Fire!]

Chapter Seventy-One: The Flame of Life!

"What about me? What about mine?"

Theresa blinked frantically. Did she, the former S-class Valkyrie of the Kaslana family, not deserve the power of a Herrscher?

Where is the truth that no child cries all the time, and no one always loses a fight?

Is the role of Teriri, the principal of St. Freya Academy and a magical girl, merely to stand on the sidelines and act cute while everyone else grows up to protect their loved ones?

Himeko noticed the short headmistress's resentment and understood her desire to have enough power to protect her students, so she patted her head to comfort her.

Just as Theresa was feeling extremely indignant, the person in the light screen switched from the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua to Kiana.

[Ignite the flames of tomorrow, Herrscher of Fire!]

This subtitle is similar to one that appeared before, when Kiana defeated Sirin.

This means that Kiana appearing in the scene must have been after defeating Sirin.

As many had guessed, Kiana in the scene clearly had a determined look in her eyes and a resolute expression, shortly after she resolved Sirin's threat.

Following her defeat of Sirin and her true mastery of the Herrscher of the Void, has Kiana now become the Herrscher of Flame?

It is not a name similar to the previous "Herrscher of the Void" or "Herrscher of Reason", but "Sin Flame"?

Does this have any special significance?

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Kiana once again stepped into that special theater.

…………

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, the special theater revealed its true master for the first time: an countless, terrifying number of "Thousand Herrschers" controlled by strings.

Each puppet-like figure represents the power of a Herrscher, while in the distance, a terrifying being, seemingly obscuring the sun and moon, lurks in the shadows.

Only those two large, scarlet eyes stared at Kiana in the theater, a sight so terrifying it sent chills down one's spine.

However, faced with this terrifying number of puppets and that towering presence, Kiana, having weathered countless storms, has already transformed.

The greatsword she gripped tightly represented her belief in cutting through the darkness. The power of the Herrscher of the Void, which she had fully mastered after defeating Sirin, was manifested on that greatsword. It was her true self, which she faced in order to protect the people she cherished!

This time, the scene finally revealed more than just Kiana; her family and friends also appeared, albeit in a somewhat unexpected way.

Before Kiana, countless puppets mocked and ridiculed her, then pushed out from the shadows a person suspended by threads, already incapacitated—

布洛妮娅·扎伊切克

Bronya, who faced the disaster alongside Kiana in Changkong City, entered St. Freya Academy with her, and trained together to become a powerful Valkyrie, was defeated by the Herrscher of a Thousand.

Under Kiana's clenched-teeth gaze, Bronya was mercilessly suspended in the air like a marionette, her limbs forced into unimaginable contortions by the strings.

Even through the light screen, everyone could imagine how unbearable the pain Bronya was suffering, let alone Kiana, who witnessed her companion being tortured right before her eyes!

Kiana's eyes blazed with fury, and the gleaming greatsword in her hand testified to her rage!

………………

Although Bronya's expression module was damaged, a shadow seemed to flicker across her seemingly expressionless face.

Bronya's displeased gaze revealed her annoyance at being shown in the scene as a defeated woman, while a new question arose in her mind:

Logically, she had already seen in the comments that she had obtained Welt Yang's Herrscher Core, which meant she should have become the Herrscher of Reason.

So why... would the version of myself in the image still become a tool used by the Thousand Herrschers to mock and deal with Kiana?

Then, the images displayed on the light screen explained to Bronya why this was happening.

…………

When Bronya was used as a tool by the thousand Herrschers to provoke Kiana, Kiana swung her greatsword but fell into a group of puppets!

However, amidst the encirclement of the puppets that were about to engulf her, a bright blue gem suddenly appeared on Kiana's greatsword, and the power of the Herrscher of Reason manifested in its brilliance!

Countless cannons were constructed in an instant, and a blue phantom appeared behind Kiana—it was Bronya in her Herrscher form!

"What?! The core of the Herrscher of Reason should have already been taken by me!"

The tide of a thousand Herrschers surrounding Kiana gasped in disbelief, momentarily halting their impending engulfment.

Although the cause and effect were not entirely clear, when Kiana's greatsword shone with the light of the Herrscher of Reason and its power was used by Kiana, everyone seemed to understand—

Bronya fell into the hands of the thousand Herrschers, and the core of the Herrscher of Reason was also taken away. This is why, even though Bronya should have become a Herrscher, she was still used as a tool to deal with Kiana.

However, these difficulties are nothing to worry about in the face of Kiana, who has already transformed and been reborn. Bronya still supports her as her companion and walks hand in hand with her!

Therefore, Kiana snatched the core of the Herrscher of Reason back from the hands of the Herrscher of a Thousand and made it shine on the greatsword!

"FIRE!"

When Kiana and Bronya's Herrscher phantoms, fighting side by side, shouted the order to fire, the cannons constructed from the countless powers of the Herrscher of Reason roared into action!

The interlacing and shimmering beams of azure light illuminated the dark theater as if it were daytime!

The deafening roars rose and fell, as the power of the Herrscher of Reason was fully unleashed in Kiana's hands, symbolizing Bronya's wholehearted trust in her partner, that idiot!

When unimaginable artillery fire shattered this special theater, the dominant theater fell from the sky, and the colossal statue hidden in the darkness came into view!

The grotesque colossus waved its hands, and the stone pillars in the theater instantly surrounded Kiana, swallowing her up in that instant!

The cannons constructed from the power of the Herrscher of Reason were instantly shattered by the stone pillar, and Kiana and her tightly gripped greatsword seemed to be buried within this towering pillar—

However, the next moment, a crimson feather that shone with light slowly drifted down from the sky.

The crimson feathers falling before the grotesque colossus caught its attention, and in the instant its scarlet eyes fell into thought...

"She changed me, and she changed many other people."

"In the future, she will change even more people."

The seemingly ordinary voice echoed in the theater, yet within its calm surface, one could sense an overflowing trust, and beneath the tranquil surface, a storm was brewing.

In a corner of the theater, Fu Hua, defeated, sat quietly, seemingly unconscious.

She was not dressed as the Herrscher of Knowledge as she had appeared before, nor was she the Shadow Knight: Moonlit Blade who fought Queen Sirin at Schicksal headquarters.

She was simply Fu Hua, Kiana's class monitor at St. Freya Academy, who cared for, guided, supervised, and protected Kiana.

The moment the colossus raised its head, its crimson eyes reflected a cluster of slowly rotating, shimmering crimson feathers.

"She will transform this world into the beautiful place she envisions."

“I want to witness that day come, so…”

"We will not stop here."

When Fu Hua's trust in Kiana burst forth in her words, her figure, gripping a greatsword tightly, also charged out from the swirling crimson feathers!

As crimson light flashed on the greatsword, Kiana snatched the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge back from the Herrscher of Domination!

Because of Fu Hua's trust in Kiana, and because of the bond between Kiana and Fu Hua, the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge shines within the greatsword!

As Kiana drew her greatsword toward the colossus, Fu Hua's phantom appeared beside her, fighting alongside her!

A figure, like an immortal with a touch of crimson amidst long, snow-white hair, stood beside Kiana. Kiana's azure eyes shone with the light of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

It wasn't like when Sirin was revived in the past, where they wanted to take over her body. Instead, they fought side by side with her and faced the colossus together with Kiana!

The ferocious colossus gripped its massive hand tightly, and countless giant hands slammed towards Kiana!

As Kiana's tightly gripped greatsword burned into a meteor, her and Fu Hua's figures transformed into blazing meteors falling to the ground, shattering from the deathly hand that threatened to bury them!

Even the power of the Herrscher of Dominion cannot stop Kiana and Fu Hua's fiery fighting spirit. Their will to fight against the Honkai, save their loved ones, and make the world a better place is their invincible flame!

"Your wish is impossible to fulfill. This world has never been a beautiful place!"

A ferocious sound of gnashing teeth erupted from the Herrscher of Domination, lifting Kiana, who was about to reach the giant statue, into the air. Countless giant hands once again gripped and crushed her!

The girl's body seemed about to be crushed, yet she still gripped the greatsword tightly in her hand.

Although the brilliance of the three gems had been dimmed under the suppression of the Herrscher of Dominion, and although the girl's body was on the verge of collapse under the immense pressure...

But she still gritted her teeth, her burning passion and fighting spirit transforming into the most invincible blade!

Amidst the deafening explosion of fireworks, the giant hand that controlled the Herrscher was shattered. From the dazzling, roaring sea of ​​fire, the girl, holding her greatsword high, resolutely raised the sword of rebellion towards the sky!

When the three dimmed gems on the greatsword were rekindled in the fire, the fourth gem suddenly shone brightly!

The flames contained within the Plague Gem are the raging fire burning within Kiana's heart, an inextinguishable flame she inherited from her ancestors, mentors, and companions!

As the blazing firewood transformed into a scorching sun, the girl's figure seemed to pierce through the darkness of the sky!

The Ruler of Domination looked up in surprise, illuminated by a sun-like blaze!

Chapter 72 With this raging fire, nothing can be cut down!

The Herrscher of Domination stared in disbelief at the girl in the flames, as intense, bright, and inextinguishable as the sun; she seemed to have become the day that dispelled the darkness.

The Herrscher of Domination gritted her teeth, belittling Kiana's wish and mocking her delusional fantasies.

In the face of Herrschers and Honkai, the world is never a beautiful place; cruelty and despair can appear at any moment, bringing suffocating death to humanity.

The ugliness of humanity itself—the ugly faces of greed, jealousy, anger, lust, and so on—was all witnessed by the Lord of Fortune, who resides within a thousand humans!

Why is it that Kiana can rise again and again, and even ignite such a bright flame, amidst such filthy and vile humans and a world rife with corruption?

Under the crimson gaze of the Herrscher of Domination, Kiana raised her greatsword aloft, burning with flames. Her azure eyes reflected the raging fire surrounding her, as if the burning passion in her heart made the fire even more magnificent!

The Herrscher of Domination's ferocious colossus hurled chains at the girl, intending to destroy the sun in the sky and drag it into an endless hell, but the only response it received was the sword in the girl's hand, a symbol of hope!

"The world isn't all that wonderful, of course, but there are still people who encourage me not to give up."
