At this point in the story, Mei is finally facing a problem.
One of them must step forward, confront the Cocoon, and try to become the artificial Herrscher of the End before the Herrscher is randomly selected.
"..."
After a long silence, Duck spoke first.
"No problem, Lawbringer, we'll do it together."
"Huh?" Shi Bao was a little confused. What did "together" mean?
Before she could ask, Mei explained, "Since Kevin can control the power of the end, who says that there can only be one person wielding the power of the end?"
"As long as our mental spaces are interconnected, it shouldn't matter how many individuals hold the power of the Lawgiver."
Kiana smiled and nodded, "If it's truly necessary to bring everything under one person's control, then I'll naturally step up."
"However... we've always been a team—if possible, everyone would naturally want to work together to accomplish this important mission."
……
The meaning of "Gosanke" is quite simple.
The three of them intend to bear the power of the [End] together.
Instead of placing this burden on Kiana alone.
Of course, this is just an idea; whether it works or not remains to be seen.
However, this is much better than the initial decision to have one person serve as the [Herrscher of the End].
Then, starting with Mei, then Shiki, and then Bronya.
They connected their mental spaces with Kiana's.
In this way, Kiana can be said to possess the Herrscher powers of [Origin], [Truth], and [Consciousness].
Next, it's time to integrate the other Herrscher powers.
But before they could take any action, their location suddenly changed again.
It's that same [station] again, the place where Mei obtained the power of the [Herrscher of Origin].
Shi Bao explained that it was likely because the power of the [Original Herrscher] was [the power to connect with all other Herrschers], so just now, all sorts of Herrscher powers had gathered from all directions.
This also means that one of them may be just one step away from becoming the [Herrscher of the End].
This made Kiana and the others feel... that things were going too smoothly.
They originally thought that they would have to locate the core Herrschers of the past and go through many battles before they could barely gather all the power.
Unexpectedly, those Herrscher powers actually gathered on their own.
Perhaps it really is because of the existence of the [Herrscher of Origin]?
……
Just as the group was discussing, the Cocoon suddenly made a move.
It seems that the Cocoon ultimately chose Kiana, which is why it pulled her into another dimension.
"...Mei? Bronya?"
"...Those who understand the laws?"
no respond.
But Kiana didn't panic.
Because this place seems to have gathered all the powers of the Herrschers from the past.
As expected, [Cocoon] chose her.
"Is this... the Herrscher of Corruption?"
“…So that’s how it is. It was defeated by the Herrscher of Origin…”
"I understand your wish, Herrscher of Corruption. We will prove to you what (CGDG) is worthy of eternal existence—"
"It can also exist forever."
……
The scene flashed, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
This is……
A sea of flowers.
The scene is still fresh in the players' memory.
This is the place where Wendy, the Herrscher of the Wind, fought.
"Wendy... Bronya already knows what you didn't have time to tell her back then."
We all know you are a gentle yet strong girl.
"Everything we are doing now... is because everyone's happiness is far more important than the power of the Herrschers."
……
The screen flickered again.
This is a snowfield, but miraculously, it is covered with pure white flowers.
This time, Kiana encountered the power of the Herrscher of the Void.
Next, Kiana arrived at "Changkong City".
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Kiana felt a sense of emotion.
This place is filled with many memories, happy ones, sad ones...
But most importantly, she met Mei and Bronya here.
"Let's go back to Changkong City with them after everything is over."
"Perhaps by then... this city will have regained its vitality in a different form."
……
Then, Kiana arrived at the battlefield of the Herrscher of Meteorite.
"This is the story that Mei and her sister witnessed, isn't it?"
"Rest in peace, those who have been tormented by fate."
Even if tragedy is inevitable, we will fight on, and continue to fight.
……
Then, Kiana arrived at Mount Taixu.
"After everything we've been through... the Herrscher of Knowledge, she's become our partner too."
"That question that you've been struggling with... there's no need to look for an answer anymore, right?"
"You are not Fu Hua..."
"Because you don't need to be Fu Hua."
……
There was a flash of white light.
This time, Kiana has come to the [Theater of Domination].
However, the visuals were no longer in game mode, but instead became an animated short film.
In the dim light, countless doll remains and tangled threads were illuminated.
She climbed the steps one by one and came to the center of the theater, where a bright red giant sword was stuck in the ground in front of her.
Players immediately recognized it as the weapon Himeko had once used—the Godfall Sword.
Kiana was not sad.
She took out her own "Sword of the Flame King," whose blazing flames illuminated the dark and desolate theater.
Finally, she left her sword beside the Godfall Sword, turned and walked away.
This animated short film, which resembles a feature film, makes this scene incredibly stunning.
—I leave this flame behind, hoping it will become a guiding light for those who come after.
The screen was filled with comments expressing their tears.
However, the video's fast pace didn't give them much time to be moved.
The scene shifts, and Kiana finds herself inside a church.
This is where Otto's life came to an end.
It is also the place where Otto was made a god.
"You are now a flame that can illuminate others..."
Those seemingly unbearable past events... will only become your strength.
