As a Herrscher, she should have been able to look down upon the world like a queen, but instead, she was held back by mere humans, ambushed and seriously injured, and even had to run away with her tail between her legs?!
Sirin, inside Kiana's body, glared resentfully at Himeko beside her, fixated on the one holding her back!
They used her past power as a tool against her, and even launched a sneak attack just like they did during the Second Honkai Impact!
When Sirin was defeated by Welt Yang, she was furious. In the battle of the Herrschers, she was ambushed by something beyond her imagination and knowledge, such as an "atomic bomb"!
Now that Himeko has once again cooperated with Anti-Entropy to ambush her, which led to her defeat and escape, how could Sirin not be furious!
Even though the light screen no longer counted the number of times the pufferfish expanded, Sirin felt a strong sense of malice, as if the light screen was deliberately persecuting her!
……
Himeko sensed another gaze emanating from Kiana's eyes and realized that it was Sirin, hidden within Kiana's body.
However, Kiana shows no sign of losing ground, so Himeko didn't bring it up.
She was quite proud of her achievements in the video, after all, she had faced a Herrscher with three gems in hand.
Having reached the age where she's often called "auntie," she returned to the battlefield after retiring, despite suffering from numerous ailments, and surprisingly managed to fight against and even defeat a Herrscher-level being.
Although it was a joint attack by Anti-Entropy, this achievement is still quite remarkable for Himeko, who was once just an A-rank Valkyrie.
Himeko even felt that this achievement was enough for her to boast about for the rest of her life after she died, and could be engraved on her grave.
However, Himeko understood that the woman in the picture would never stop there.
Simply repelling the Herrscher is absolutely not enough.
Her purpose in going to the battlefield, and the reason she risked her own life, was to save her students.
Sirin controlled Kiana's body and left, so as her teacher, she had to personally bring her student back.
Therefore, Himeko understood that the scene she was in would definitely not end there, and that the [God-Slaying Spear] would probably not be used on herself so soon.
Kiana and the others beside her stared at Himeko, as if scolding her for not valuing her own life, or as if moved by Himeko's act of sacrificing her life.
They also wanted to know how Kiana was rescued, but a sense of foreboding made them unable to bear watching what happened next.
The scene on the light screen didn't end there. After Sirin was defeated, how exactly did Kiana temporarily regain control of her body...?
It will soon be revealed in the footage.
The Last Lesson
………………
………………
When Sirin returned, the entire Hyperion was dragged into the power of the Herrscher of the Void—
Within the imaginary space, in Sirin's home turf, Himeko still resolutely raised her greatsword high.
However, within Sirin's home turf, Himeko, who was merely an "old, weak, sick, and disabled" person borrowing the power of the Herrscher of Flame, could never be a match for Sirin.
Although the majority of Sirin's Honkai energy was neutralized by the Moon Throne, she still possesses three gems, and within the Imaginary Space, she remains the Queen of the Sky.
As Sirin descended from the sky atop the Queen's Ladder, the immense Honkai energy engulfed Himeko, as if she were toying with an ant in the palm of her hand.
Even as Himeko desperately ignited the flames within her heart, even as she repeatedly fought her way out of the Honkai energy, even as she raised her greatsword time and again, countless Void Spears and Honkai energy still surged forth like a tidal wave.
Kiana, when you wake up, you'll find this world is no longer beautiful.
"Those familiar aspects of life are all gone forever."
But... never give up.
Himeko's once vibrant, rose-red figure was now bruised and faded from the battle; her fiery red hair had lost its luster.
Himeko's disheveled state, covered in wounds, revealed her desperate situation, yet she still rushed towards Sirin without hesitation, towards the despair that was engulfing her!
Her murmurs, just like her usual nagging and admonitions to Kiana, reached Sirin's ears.
Although this only provoked Sirin to launch an even fiercer and more furious attack, it still reached Kiana's ears.
Even though the greatsword in her hand had dimmed and its flame had waned to the point of a flickering candle in the wind, Himeko continued to walk forward.
Kiana, lift your head and keep moving forward.
"Go and transform this imperfect story into the way you hope it will be."
When the despairing power of the Herrscher of the Void dragged Himeko into an abyss of death, she mustered all her strength to ignite her last flame!
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the flame Kiana ignited when facing the Herrscher of Domination in the Theater of Domination was the self that Himeko ignited at this moment!
When a teacher tries to save her student, or an elder tries to save a fool, she can ignite everything within herself.
Himeko turned her life into a final flame, allowing Sirin to unexpectedly break free from despair!
Sirin's eyes trembled in disbelief. How could Himeko, who only had a gem in her hand, be able to kill her!
But giving Sirin no chance to catch her breath, Himeko's roar, accompanied by that final, sharp strike, came crashing down!
In her arrogance, Sirin suffered another defeat, and a collision that illuminated the dim imaginary space like daylight erupted here!
As the white, disorienting blur dissipated, Sirin's trembling eyes, revealing lingering fear, refocused, and she clearly saw the greatsword so close at hand.
Himeko's figure, which had never been close to her before, was now within arm's reach.
Himeko exerted all her strength and burned herself out to finally reach Sirin, but in the end, the greatsword in her hand still failed to land on Kiana.
Those were her cherished students, the students she wanted to bring back.
Himeko's hands no longer had the strength to lift the greatsword, and the flaming greatsword broke in pieces. The teacher's love and tenderness for the student were self-evident.
Sirin's eyes trembled as she stared at the dull red hair that fell in front of her, and she suddenly flew into a rage!
She wanted to tear this human to shreds, to give this human who had almost killed her a taste of his own medicine—
"Stay alive... Kiana..."
"This is... the final lesson..."
Sirin's gritted teeth failed to materialize, and Himeko's final murmur rang in her ears.
As her long hair fell loose, a syringe stuck in her skin became clearly visible.
The [God-Slaying Spear], formed from the combined blood of Shaniat and HSN-b46, has finally reappeared before everyone after being hidden for a long time.
The [Godslayer Spear], originally given to Himeko by Tesla to remove the side effects of the Plague Gem and save her life, was now plunged into Kiana's body by Himeko without hesitation.
Capable of eliminating Herrscher-level weapons, capable of igniting a spark of hope for survival.
It was passed from Himeko, the teacher, to Kiana.
With a piercing howl, the imaginary space manifested by the Herrscher of the Void's power began to collapse, and Sirin's consciousness vanished like an avalanche.
Those clear, azure eyes reappeared, and with the help of the [Godslayer Spear], Kiana finally regained control of Sirin and regained control of her body...
But that figure, fallen from the sky, now somber, no longer fiery, no longer vibrant.
Like roses that have given up all their beauty after their blooming season, they wither and fade.

Let's add some lighthearted content later, including some fan-made content from the creators.
Chapter 85 Himeko's Mother
"Aunt Jizi..."
Kiana looked at Himeko on the screen, who had fought with all her might to stand beside "her" and inject the only life-saving antidote into her body. Kiana felt a lump in her throat and choked up, unable to speak.
Himeko entrusted her with the hope of survival, burning herself out to save her from Sirin's clutches.
Kiana finally understood why she had a sense of unease upon seeing the Plague Gem and the [Godslayer Spear], and she also understood why Himeko's phantom was supporting her when fighting the Herrscher of Dominion.
She finally understood why she had wavered when she saw the Plague Gem when she first faced the siege of a thousand Herrschers, and why the Plague Gem had taken the initiative to help her defeat Sirin.
The Plague Gem, embedded in Himeko's Godslayer Armor, the very power that consumed her Herrscher of Flames, signified her presence in the Domination Theater—
Himeko Murata, who fell from the sky, is dead.
How could Kiana not feel heartache for her teacher who sacrificed his life to save her?
As Kiana's eyes welled with tears, everyone at St. Freya Academy choked up as they watched the figure, like a withered rose, fall from the sky on the light screen.
They finally realized where the [God-Slaying Spear] was used; Himeko had actually done it to save Kiana...
In truth, the others already knew the answer in their hearts, but they were unwilling to accept that Himeko would really pass away and refused to acknowledge it.
Kiana buried her face in Himeko's arms, using the embrace to conceal the small pearl she had dropped. The other students from St. Freya Academy, taking advantage of the moment while Himeko was still alive and well before them, focused their attention on her.
Their eyes reflected Himeko, and their own eyes were somewhat red.
Their eyes seemed to reproach Himeko for sacrificing herself, yet they also seemed to admire and acknowledge her noble cause.
"Okay, okay, stop crying, you idiot."
Himeko hugged Kiana in her arms, stroked the silly little cat who was trembling slightly, and smiled helplessly at everyone's gazes.
She felt sorry for everyone's criticism, and also very grateful for everyone's recognition.
She was happy to see that her future self hadn't made a choice she would regret.
Although she couldn't accept death, seeing that idiot brought back to life with her own eyes made Himeko feel she could close her eyes peacefully.
Although Himeko didn't know how much courage it took to hand the "Godslayer Spear" to Kiana, she knew that Kiana had fulfilled her duty as a teacher, and that was enough.
Himeko was proud of herself.
Just as everyone at St. Freya Academy was immersed in the memory of Himeko's sacrifice in the future, the title of the next scene popped up on the screen—
[Himeko's mother: How many good mothers do you actually have outside?]
"???"
Himeko frowned, staring at the light screen in bewilderment, unable to comprehend the meaning of the title.
Although she's reached the age where Kiana calls her "auntie," she doesn't even have a boyfriend, let alone be a mother.
Although the way she's holding the crying Kiana now looks a bit like she's comforting her daughter...
