People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

Fortunately, even in her artificially collapsed form, her recovery ability is comparable to that of a real Honkai Beast. Even though her entire body was burned by flames, it didn't take long for her to fully heal.

Of course, the wound did not heal instantly. Because it was hit head-on by the heavenly fire, Sakura's collapsing body felt an extreme stinging pain!

With half her face charred, her vision became blurred and painful, forcing her to close her right eye.

She looked up at the figure in the distance, one hand holding the Herrscher of the Void and the other gripping the Skyfire Greatsword, and a bright smile appeared in her eyes.

"So you've finally drawn your weapon..."

Sakura knew very well that Ron's most powerful weapon was the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Like Kevin, he was able to unleash the power of the Skyfire to one hundred percent, or even far exceed the weapon's limits.

Under normal circumstances, any opponent who encounters this weapon will be unable to put up any resistance and will ultimately face their doom.

Sakura was well aware of this, but she still chose to fight!

Because that's exactly what she wanted!

"I won't admit defeat."

Sakura's wounds healed rapidly under the influence of the Collapse Form.

The specially made combat suits were already stained with blood.

But she still stood up, determined to continue this battle whose outcome was inevitable.

……

"I never expected him to possess the Heavenly Judgment of Fire?!"

Theresa looked at the battlefield in surprise. "But shouldn't the Judgment of Heavenly Fire be in Siegfried's hands right now? Could it be that Siegfried lent it to him?"

Theresa couldn't understand the origin of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire in Ron's hands.

At the same time, the battle that just took place was already shocking enough, even exaggerated, and it's hard to describe it in words.

Whether it's Sakura or Ron.

The strength displayed by these two people far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people!

It's no exaggeration to say that these two combined could probably handle several Herrschers and countless Honkai Legion soldiers without any problem.

"That pink-haired lady's extreme attack was actually blocked... Just how incredible is that doctor's defense?"

As a warrior, Himeko Murata's concerns are more complex than Theresa's.

She recalled Sakura's final sword strike, which seemed to completely tear apart space itself, a strike that had far surpassed human comprehension and even seemed to have frozen time!

Even such a terrifying attack seemed not to break through Ron's defenses in the end. It was only because Ron could no longer bear it that he chose to use the Judgment of Heavenly Fire to counterattack.

This led Himeko Murata to a terrifying thought—

Ron's strength might actually be far superior to Sakura's! His comment just now, "You're too weak," might not have been sarcasm, but rather a simple fact!

"Doctor...you can definitely win and save Kiana, right..."

Bronya's gaze was fixed on the battlefield. She was the one with the purest thoughts among everyone present. She didn't care at all about the outcome of the battle, nor did she care about the gap between Ron and Sakura.

She simply hoped that her friend Kiana, whose body had been taken over by the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness, could recover and survive after this battle was over!

As long as she can fulfill this one request, she has no other desires and can feel enough satisfaction and happiness.

On the other side, Otto, Durandal, Rita, and Fu Hua were equally surprised by the battle.

They also witnessed the absolutely terrifying power that Sakura used, and the unprecedented destructive power that Ron displayed after unleashing the Heavenly Fire!

Compared to the pure shock of others, Otto, as the Bishop of Destiny, undoubtedly had more complex thoughts about this battle, and he couldn't help but think of many things.

Of course, there is one thing Otto himself is absolutely certain of.

That means that starting today, the world may undergo tremendous changes and experience indescribable leaps and bounds of development.

“Ron…Sakura…”

Fu Hua gazed at the battlefield, and every second, strange yet very familiar memories kept popping into her mind.

Her heart was stirred by these memories that she had long forgotten, and little by little she rediscovered those familiar feelings.

This also made her feel conflicted about the battle taking place in the distance, and she longed for everything to have a relatively perfect outcome...

Just when everyone had various ideas, but most felt that Ron had the victory in the bag.

"boom!"

Suddenly, an even more astonishing distortion and mutation erupted from Sakura's body. The powerful impact caused the space around her to seem to collapse instantly, resulting in indescribable distortion and deformation.

As the mutation rate increased, everything about Sakura began to become different.

At this moment, her entire body slid down uncontrollably in a state of even more indescribable madness!

"That is……"

Ron looked at Sakura's current state, and his expression changed slightly. After all, even he didn't expect Sakura to be so crazy as to use this move.

The Fusion Warrior's true trump card, but also a costly one—

Second collapse!

Seeing Sakura's body, which was clearly beginning to twist and mutate, even gradually transforming into some kind of crazed state, he couldn't help but ask, "Is all of this worth going to such lengths for?"

"Of course, because this is how I love you, Doctor..."

Suddenly, Sakura, who had almost completely fallen into a kind of crazy emotion, revealed a bright and bewitching smile on her face.

In the almost completely distorted space, her power began to erupt completely and spread outwards, along with her willpower gradually boiling.

Ultimately, under the extreme distortion of power, Sakura's body began to undergo even more bizarre changes. Her fur became thicker, her body began to swell completely, and the girl's fox ears began to grow enormous. In the end, she began to transform into the appearance of a giant fox!

"Buzz!"

Even without any extra movements, Sakura's current posture was completely indescribable. The intense energy spreading out completely enveloped her in an eerie power!

The second man-made collapse!

Coming!

"Roar!"

At this moment, Sakura's consciousness was clearly completely taken over by the power. Her consciousness rapidly declined, like a shattering hammer, falling at an extremely fast speed.

Ron raised an eyebrow as he watched this scene. He held Sirin, who was no longer struggling, in one arm and suddenly raised the Skyfire Greatsword.

"Give up, you can't beat me."

"!!!"

Sakura, who was completely in a state of secondary collapse, did not refute Ron's words at all; she was completely consumed by her beast-like mentality.

To the naked eye, her eyes were filled with obvious desire, whether it was the desire to kill or the madness of death, both of which were spreading rapidly within them without stopping for a moment.

"No matter what... Doctor... I will defeat you..."

In its collapsed form, Sakura, in the appearance of a giant fox, slowly uttered incoherent words.

At that moment, a clearly frenzied power erupted from her body, and chaotic air currents burst forth at an extremely fast speed, transforming into countless ice spikes that smashed towards Ron.

The madness burning within her was tearing everything apart!

"..." The students of St. Freya Academy.

Just like a myth from an epic tale, it's a battle between humans and enormous monsters.

Compared to Sakura after her second collapse, Ron was utterly insignificant.

Sakura's claws and fangs were even larger than the man in front of her!

It was as if she could tear the man in front of her to shreds with just a simple raise of her arm!

Even with his mysterious defensive techniques, Ron would likely be unable to withstand such terrifying power and would be completely torn apart and pierced by the monster's claws!

“This ability…”

Among the students of St. Freya Academy, Bronya and Theresa could no longer bear to watch.

They seemed unable to imagine what the battle would entail.

Despite her strong personality, Himeko Murata couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine at the sight before her...

"Can we really win against a monster like that?" Yu

"..."

Ron himself remained silent under everyone's gaze.

He looked at Sakura, who had completely collapsed before him, and said in a complicated tone, "To be honest, I've always only considered you an ordinary friend, and that's not a lie..."

"!!!"

The moment Ron finished speaking, Sakura's aura visibly wavered.

Its massive size exuded an unimaginable, intense killing intent, and its boiling will seemed to tear through space and cleave rocks!

"but……"

Ron quickly finished speaking, "For me, friends are the most important people... After all, friends have always been the most important thing to me, and I don't have any special feelings for anyone else."

"..."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Sakura's enormous fox form wavered once again, and this time, the immense pressure emanating from her could be clearly felt gradually shrinking.

However, the state of artificial collapse is irreversible.

A collapse might be able to be restored to its original state through individual willpower.

If it's a second collapse, it's impossible to recover from the collapse state without fighting until you're completely exhausted or falling into a near-death state.

"Roar!"

In an instant, accompanied by Sakura's roar, her collapsing, enormous form suddenly emitted an astonishing wave of energy—!

"boom!"

With her massive claws suddenly raised, her body began to go berserk almost uncontrollably, and she charged toward Ron!

The next moment, an astonishing aura surged forth!

The air seemed to burst into flames in everyone's eyes!
