Collapse, but Stand users

Fate seems to favor the unfortunate; Himiko was a competent captain and an outstanding warrior.

[But the Honkai will still find her, turning her into the Herrscher of Flame, and in the end, she dies under Kevin's ice.]

This is what they call fate, just as Yoshikage Kira was destined to become a Stand user.

Everyone is swept up by fate; there is no escaping it, no way to avoid it.

But the ending might not be like that. You already possess the power to defy fate, don't you?

"It's getting late, everyone, so I'll take my leave now." Looking at his watch, Kira Yoshikage realized it was already 10 p.m. and stood up to say goodbye.

"Your schedule is so regular, Yoshikage Kira." As she watched Yoshikage Kira leave, Alicia played with her hair and said to the others.

"Oh dear, our boss has always been like this ever since we met him. He goes to bed early and gets up early, and he always keeps a regular schedule." Pado wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth and said to everyone.

"Oh, what would happen if I held him back from sleeping?" Alicia asked curiously.

"Um... Sister Ellie, I advise you not to do that..."

"What, will he be very angry?"

"Probably... I think so..."

"Oh? Little Paddy, have you ever seen Kira Yoshikage when he's angry?"

"No, but my gut feeling tells me that the boss's anger is terrifying!"

Upon hearing Pado's words, everyone nodded in unison.

No one could imagine what Yoshikage Kira would do when he got angry.

“I’m afraid even the ‘deepest depths’ can’t hold him.” Velvi shrugged.

"But I'm still so curious and interested! Don't you want to know what kind of expression Kira Yoshikage makes when he's angry?"

"Don't try to drag others down with you, Alicia. If you want to go, go by yourself." Although Velvet was also concerned, she decided against it, considering Kira Yoshikage's personality.

"Hey, I was just kidding, don't take it so seriously~"

Meanwhile, Yoshikage Kira had finished his stretching exercises, drunk his hot milk, and was getting ready for bed.

Looking at the arrows hanging on the wall, Yoshikage Kira fell into a deep sleep.

The moon's silvery light cascaded down, landing on the golden arrow.

The path to salvation lies therein.

After the banquet, based on Kevin's battle report, the Flame Chaser concluded that it was impossible for a Herrscher to regain their humanity.

Every time Kevin thinks about it, a chill runs down his spine. If you hadn't intervened, how many more lives would have been lost when that black mist, a symbol of death, spread out?

Therefore, Kevin is even more grateful to you.

In October, Velvey successfully developed the third divine key—the Seven Lightning of Purification. In its sniper rifle form, it can crush anything it touches. However, Velvey designed seven different forms for it, and during testing, very few people could keep it in sniper rifle mode.

"The Seven Thunders of Purification are very particular about their compatibility with the user, just like the Herrscher of Thunder, the source of their power, who is a capricious woman. If you don't follow its temper, its condition will deteriorate." Dr. Velvet explained.

But why it behaves so well in your hands is another matter entirely.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mebius's 'Fusion Warrior' project encountered a bottleneck.

"The doctor said that if we can't experiment on living people, then this experiment will be difficult to make progress," Klein explained to Yoshikage Kira.

Because the two laboratories were vying for the remains of the Herrscher, they gradually became familiar with each other, and Yoshikage Kira also obtained first-hand data from the experiments.

"The doctor has tried it on the most vicious criminals."

But the success rate is—zero.

Looking at the experimental data in his hand, Yoshikage Kira didn't say anything, but just listened silently to what Klein was saying.

"Tsk, here's the Herrscher core you wanted. If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave." Mebius walked towards the two of them and handed the device containing the Herrscher core to Yoshikage Kira.

Kira Yoshikage silently accepted the gift, looking at the two with dark circles under their eyes, and reminded them, "Take care and get some rest, you two."

Möbius waved his hand impatiently and turned back to his experiment.

"It will succeed, Dr. Möbius." Möbius did not respond, and Yoshikage Kira picked up the device and left.

After bringing the Herrscher Core of the Fifth Herrscher to Velvie, she began the research and development of the Fifth Divine Key.

You also began planning how to save Himiko.

A few months is enough.
