With Durandal's thunderous shout—
Kiana turned her head and met her gaze!
In that single instant—
What the two of them were thinking needed no words.
Everything Changguang had said before the final battle—
Not a single word had been forgotten by the two girls.
The method to defeat Otto—
Was to sever him from the infinite space he resided in!
To turn "Infinity"—
Into "Finitude"!
And this—
Could only be accomplished through the authority of the Herrscher of the Void!
This point—
Kiana would accomplish.
Not because of confidence—
But because of resolve!
At this moment!
They could no longer afford to consider anything else!
What remained—
Was only the resolve to defeat Otto!!
[Kiana: No matter what schemes or plans Otto may have!]
[Kiana: At this moment, none of them can stop us from defeating him!]
[Tesla: That's right! Why worry about so much!!]
[Tesla: Beat Otto first! We'll talk about everything else afterward!]
[Honkai · Himeko: Whatever Otto's true goal may be, at the very least—defeat him fair and square once!!]
[March 7th: If you have the power to defeat Otto, you don't need to fear any of his conspiracies!]
[Durandal: Use it—the power of the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana!]
[Kiana: I believe… the future me already understands this moment too!]
[Xianyun: As expected of sisters—such perfect coordination.]
[Shenhe: Everything conveyed without words?]
[Raiden Mei: Kiana… do your best!]
[Sushang: Flamescion fire will burn away all schemes and deceit!]
[Otto: Hmm, at a moment like this, perhaps I shouldn't be appearing in the chat?]
[Changguang: (very softly) Archbishop… it's good that you know that]
On the screen!
Golden light surged!
Honkai energy around Otto continued to pour in endlessly!
"Now!!"
Kiana clenched her teeth.
The flame-burning king's sword swept upward—
Launching Otto into the air!
In the next instant—
Durandal hurled the Black Abyss in her hands!!
Chi—!!
Carrying a terrifying, tearing howl through the air—
It instantly pierced Otto's heavily wounded body!
And nailed him brutally against the golden wall!!
Their coordination was flawless—
Requiring no additional synchronization—
As if their hearts were perfectly aligned!!
This crushing blow—
Made everyone watching feel an overwhelming sense of exhilaration!
Staring at Otto pinned to the wall,
Kiana spoke coldly:
"Let your authority—"
"Be buried along with you!!!"
Within her blue eyes—
Fury blazed like leaping flames!
With a single gesture—
The authority of the Herrscher of the Void erupted violently!!
Unleashed with full force!!
Orange voids compressed the space surrounding Otto!!
This was—
Kiana's decisive strike!
This was the Herrscher of the Void's power erupting like never before!!
"Mom…"
"Dad…"
"Himeko-sensei…"
"Class Monitor…"
"Theresa…"
As Kiana grit her teeth and forced out each name—
Her fighting intent and rage surged higher and higher!
At this moment—
Scenes from the past flowed endlessly through her mind!
[Cecilia's warm embrace]
[Siegfried's large hand resting on her head]
[Himeko-sensei's gentle gaze]
[Fu Hua drifting away with the feathers of Fenghuang Down]
[Theresa turning back with a bright, carefree smile]
Everyone.
Every figure.
All memories of the past.
All bonds and attachments—
At this moment, they all whispered softly to Kiana.
"Kiana."
"Move forward."
"Fight."
"Go and turn this imperfect story—"
"Into the ending you desire!"
At this instant!
Kiana's eyes reddened!
As if boundless sorrow was about to spill forth!
But at the same time—
She had never been so resolute!
Never been so determined!
Because what she bore—
Was the hope entrusted to her by everyone—
Hope that could not be allowed to fail!!
She had to stand in for the departed.
Had to stand in for every single person hurt by Otto!
For revenge!
Grinding her teeth—
"This is what you owe every one of them!!"
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!!
As space twisted violently!!
A black-and-yellow singularity instantly swallowed everything!!!
It devoured Otto's figure—
Until all was annihilated!!!
In an instant!
Amid earth-shaking tremors—
The entire battlefield was engulfed by smoke and darkness!
Everyone watching was unable to see what had happened in that split second!
[Sushang: It hit?!]
[Sushang: What happened??? Otto just disappeared???]
[Silver Wolf: What's certain is that Kiana's Herrscher of the Void authority was effective!]
[March 7th: Th-What… just happened?!]
[Keqing: I couldn't see anything…]
[Herta: Or rather, it was impossible to see. The eruption of Void authority completely distorted space.]
[Ningguang: Could it be… the solution really was the Herrscher of the Void's authority?]
[Tesla: It has to be!!]
[Tesla: Which means—Kiana and the others have defeated Otto?!]
[Theresa: Grandpa… swallowed by the singularity…]
[Bailu: That was… surprisingly easy?!]
[Einstein: Though Kiana and Durandal didn't have an easy journey.]
[Einstein: This final battle, however… feels strangely off to me.]
[Hanabi: You mean—it was too rushed, right?]
[Einstein: Yes…]
[Furina: I feel the same way!]
[Furina: I can't believe Otto was defeated just like that??]
[Honkai · Himeko: What's there not to believe?! Kiana's strength is already beyond imagination!]
[Kiana: Hehehe… that's a little embarrassing…]
[Honkai · Himeko: I meant future you! What does that have to do with present you?! You should worry about whether you'll fail your classes first!]
[Kiana: QAQ]
[Durandal: But… this battle was far too hasty.]
[Durandal: I don't believe the Archbishop would give himself such an ending.]
[Jing Yuan: This is not Otto's way of doing things.]
[Tesla: Hey, hey, hey! Don't go boosting his reputation now!]
[March 7th: But… I really feel like Otto wouldn't be this simple!]
Messages flooded the chat.
On one hand, everyone was genuinely thrilled and excited for Kiana and Durandal's victory!
After all—
Having witnessed Otto commit so many atrocities,
Harm so many innocent people,
And shatter countless happy families—
The supernaturals in the chat had long been seething with righteous anger.
Kiana and Durandal defeating Otto in such a decisive, cathartic manner—
Was absolutely what everyone had been hoping for!
But on the other hand—
As discussions continued—
Nearly half the group felt something was deeply off about this battle.
Especially after Hanabi's reminder—
Even more inconsistencies came to light!
Everything Otto had done that day—
Really did seem, just as Hanabi said—
As though he had been deliberately guiding events toward this outcome!
Or rather…
All of it had been within Otto's plan?!
From the moment the Hyperion and Anti-Entropy were lured to Kolosten by news of the Dominance Herrscher core—
Everything seemed to have unfolded according to Otto's design!
Including using Otto's soulium body to lure out the final fragment of the Dominance Herrscher!
Then stealing the Authority of Domination, publicly announcing his resignation as Archbishop, and passing Schicksal to Theresa!
Then gradually leading the Hyperion and Anti-Entropy to uncover and understand his world-ending plan!
Even triggering the "betrayals" of Durandal, Changguang, and Rita!
All of it!
Every single step—
Seemed intentional!
A series of abnormal actions—
His blatant disregard for exposing his own conspiracy—
All of it appeared designed to provoke outrage,
To place himself in direct opposition to everyone!
And even at the final battle!
Otto—having obtained false god-level power, strong as a deity—
Had nonetheless revealed his weakness early through Changguang!
Planting a seed deep within the hearts of Durandal and Kiana!
And looking back on the battle itself—
The more they thought about it, the stranger it felt!
Otto, possessing pseudo-divine power and infinite Honkai energy—
Never once launched a truly threatening attack!
Instead, he seemed to revel in theatrics, engaging in prolonged skirmishes!
And repeatedly—deliberately or not—
Hinted that the Herrscher of the Void's authority was the key to defeating him!
All of it—
Reeked of something unnatural!!
And at that moment—
On the screen—
Words slowly appeared.
[With the eruption of the Authority of the Void]
[The power of the false god completely dissipated]
[Otto's inner world rapidly collapsed]
[Returning the girls to the place where they had first departed]
