Seeing this, Kiana frantically pressed the attack key on the keyboard.

At this moment, she seemed to have transformed into Kiana in the game, doing everything she could to keep Mei from leaving.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could never match Mei's strength.

With this, the final level of Chapter 17 is complete.

Upon seeing this, Kiana appeared somewhat dazed.

She was completely immersed in the story just now.

It's as if Mei will leave with the game after it's lost...

“Kiana…” Just then, Mei, who was sitting next to Kiana, tugged at her arm.

This made Kiana suddenly realize what was happening.

"Mea Yi..."

Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mei right beside her.

The level selection page, just like before, still has a play button.

This is an animated short film that appears in each major chapter.

The short film is called "Elegy for a Sinner".

Click on the video.

The short film begins with a dim sky, and the quality remains exceptionally high.

A gentle piano melody paired with the sound of a violin creates an atmosphere of profound sorrow.

The camera slowly descends, finally focusing on Kiana and Mei on the rooftop.

The two of them then continued the story from the previous level.

Mei grabbed Kiana by the neck and threw her away violently.

Her expression and tone were extremely cold.

It's not that she's really that indifferent to Kiana.

Instead... all I can do is pretend to be so indifferent.

Every punch that landed on Kiana caused her immense heartache.

But that was all she could do.

No one forced her.

She just didn't want Kiana to know that she joined World Serpent to save Kiana.

Mei gritted her teeth and coldly advised, "Give up..."

"I...won't...let you go!" Kiana's voice sounded weak, yet incredibly firm.

She genuinely didn't know why Mei had joined World Serpent at first.

But... Kiana isn't actually stupid.

When Mei became the Herrscher of Thunder, the Conquest Gem within her body disintegrated.

As the owner of the body, she could sense it immediately.

With just a little thought, she could figure out the reason—the World Serpent helped Mei become a Herrscher, taking back the power of the Herrscher of Thunder from her, thus relieving her physical discomfort.

But the prerequisite is... Mei must join World Serpent...

How could she possibly let Mei jump into this fire pit?

In her opinion, the World Serpent was no good thing.

"I... will not give up!"

She gritted her teeth, dragging her frail body, trying to stop Mei from leaving.

But... how could she possibly hold back a Herrscher of Thunder at her peak while she was severely injured?

He was knocked down time and time again, but he got up again and again.

Finally, Mei couldn't take it anymore.

She increased the force of her attack slightly and delivered a Void Slash to Kiana.

"Bang~"

Kiana was violently sent flying, her delicate body crashing to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Mei's expression was indifferent, and the electric currents crackling around her body were emanating from her.

Just as Mei was about to leave, countless void rifts suddenly appeared around her.

In the blink of an eye, countless aerial spears flew out of the crack, imprisoning her in place.

"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~~"

That's the crisp sound of high heels stepping on glass.

The Herrscher of the Void's magnificent skirt appeared in front of the camera.

Upon witnessing this scene, the player felt a slight tremor in their heart, and their eyes began to well up with tears.

Because... Kiana really did everything she could to keep Mei from leaving.

Even with her severely injured body, she still used the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

But... Kiana's actions precisely hit a landmine.

Mei didn't struggle; she just quietly looked ahead at Kiana, who had transformed into the Herrscher of the Void.

She felt a mix of heartache, anger, and helplessness.

"You've always... been like this, Kiana."

"You've always been like this!!" Mei's tone was filled with rage.

This was also the first time Mei had ever yelled at Kiana.

"Even though she's covered in wounds, she still forces herself to smile..."

"You saved me, you saved everyone, but you have to bear all the pain alone, even at the cost of your life!"

"Mei...this is my mission."

Seeing that Kiana still wouldn't listen to her advice, Mei gritted her teeth and reached out to grab the Void Spear that was binding her.

"I understand the grand principles of saving the world! But..."

How can you expect me to endure all this?

Mei's Herrscher energy surged wildly within her.

The powerful collapse caused rainwater to float in the air.

"All I know is that, in my heart... more than this world..."

"You! Are the most important!"

Mei crushed the spear that was pressing down on the air.

Terrifying lightning bolts struck down, shattering the sub-control spears that were binding Mei.

The music from the electric guitar also became increasingly urgent.

Until the female voice began to sing.

The audience felt a chill run down their spines.

Mihoyo loves to play this game.

When the audience's emotions reach their peak, music that perfectly matches the animation scene will suddenly play.

Such actions can cause players' emotions to erupt instantly.

At this point in the animation, the two finally abandoned their earlier playful banter and truly unleashed their Herrscher-level power.

A sorrowful smile stained with blood.

[Your Lost Body Temperature]

[Caught in a vortex of noise]

In this world that is gradually crumbling

……

The animation was perfectly timed, accompanied by a female voice chanting.

In the battle, Kiana, dragging her heavily injured body, could hardly possibly defeat Mei at her peak.

To completely extinguish Kiana's desire to keep her, Mei gritted her teeth and unleashed a bolt of lightning at Kiana.

As the light faded, the music softened.

Kiana fell unconscious and was plummeting towards the ground.

The moment Mei grabbed Kiana's arm.
