Chapter 45 Yoshikage Kira

"Done?"

"All done, hehe, thanks for coming with me, boss."

"But aren't you afraid that your treasure will be stolen by someone else?"

"Oh dear, we've hidden ourselves very well. Besides, who would bother coming to Twilight Street for no reason?"

"Besides, when we're old, we can come back and dig this up to reminisce about these days. Wouldn't that be romantic?"

"Fusion warriors shouldn't get old, right?"

"Hmm, it seems so."

"...Let's go back."

......

"My assistant is back, let me give her a hug."

Yoshikage Kira did not refuse and pulled Vervi into his arms.

"What, the Moon Throne is repaired?"

"Yeah, I'm exhausted. But we only repaired one. If this kind of weapon were mass-produced, humanity wouldn't have to fear the Honkai anymore."

"It's a pity that time is running out for humanity."

"Yes, time is running out."

"Assistant, I... never mind, it's a bit unlucky to say it now."

"Let's talk about that after the end."

"You have plenty of time."

Although there were no warning signs, everyone could sense that the Herrscher of the End was not far off.

An inexplicable sense of irritability; it seemed that every time something bad was about to happen, Kira Yoshikage's body would give him a warning in advance.

'A bad feeling, but with my abilities as the Killer Queen, surviving the end shouldn't be a problem.'

......

"Eden, are you sure you don't want to be a pioneer and travel to the next era?"

"No, Ellie, I want to fight alongside everyone."

"Okay, then. We're not sure if we can defeat the Herrscher of the End, but with everyone together, we'll definitely get through this."

"We've always done it this way~"

"Eden, may you sing for me and for everyone one more time?"

"Ellie, you know I can't refuse you."

......

"Mei, you don't need to come to the moon with me, do you?"

“Kevin, I can help manipulate the Moon Throne.”

"But Dr. Mebius and Dr. Vervière are also acceptable."

Mei shook her head, determined to go to the moon with everyone to fight against the End.

Suddenly, a song drifted over, and the two stopped arguing, following the sound to Eden.

Not just the two of them, but everyone in the Golden Courtyard gathered here to listen to Eden's song.

After the performance, Eden bowed to the crowd, who applauded his singing.

Next, the group set off for the moon.

"Kosmo? Didn't you go with Gretsch to carry out Project Ark?"

"I sent Blanca and Hen in my place. I want to fight alongside everyone."

"Is this so?"

With that, Dr. May sent Kosmo into the Thousand Worlds Vehicle, and the group headed to the moon.

......

"Wow, so this is what Earth looks like?" Pado landed on the moon, looked back at Earth, and marveled at the beauty of her homeland.

"What, haven't I seen you online before?"

"You can't say that, boss. There's a big difference between what you see online and what you see in person."

Yoshikage Kira remained silent, standing beside Paddo, watching together as the Earth, the source of their existence, came into being.

"Yoshikage Kira, Patto, get ready."

"coming."

Yoshikage Kira patted Patto and attached Bites the Dust to her.

The condition is set so that attacking Pado will cause an explosion.

......

As expected, the end came not far from them.

The sense of oppression was unparalleled, unlike anything experienced in any previous battle or by any other Herrscher.

Following May's instructions, Velvet manipulated the Moon Throne, attacking the Herrscher of the End at 200% power at the cost of damaging the Moon Throne itself.

The full-force attack, symbolizing the highest level of technology in human civilization, only weakened the Herrscher of the End's Honkai energy by 30%.

"So it wasn't that simple after all. Himiko, prepare to unleash the Divine Judgment of Heavenly Fire." Mei had anticipated this outcome and continued to direct the group.

"Skyfire, unsheath!"

Himiya summoned his Stand and unleashed the Heavenly Fire Judgment with all his might towards the Herrscher.

The raging flames engulfed the Herrscher of the End, but the expressions on everyone's faces showed no sign of relaxation.

'According to my memory, the Herrscher will be on standby for twelve hours due to the attack of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.'

However, Yoshikage Kira did not choose to take the Stand back from Patto.

That feeling of irritability, that warning from the body, has never disappeared.

As expected, an unexpected event occurred: before the Herrscher of the End could activate, she released a binding barrier that enveloped the entire moon.

A strange feeling lingered on Yoshikage Kira; it was a gaze, the gaze of the Honkai will.

People who shouldn't exist in reality want to change everyone's fate.

The backlash from fate had been building up and finally erupted at this moment.

'Padma is also inside the barrier, why hasn't Bites the Dust activated?'

Is the Stand in standby mode because it can't identify its target?

Regardless of the reason, Yoshikage Kira must act now.

The binding barrier created by the Herrscher of the End is even more powerful than that of the Herrscher of Binding, and the Honkai energy within everyone's bodies is being consumed at an extremely rapid pace.

"Don't make a move. You'll die once the Honkai energy is depleted."

"I will take care of it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Yoshikage Kira withdrew Killer Queen from Patto and rushed towards the Herrscher of the End.

"what?!"

When they were still 100 meters away from the Herrscher of the End, a powerful gravity appeared on Yoshikage Kira, pressing him onto the surface of the moon.

"You bastard! How could I possibly fall here!"

Kira Yoshikage struggled forward against the immense pressure of gravity.

However, this strength increases as Kira Yoshikage gets closer to the Herrscher of the End.

My bones are trembling

The body is wailing

But this filled Yoshikage Kira with determination.

Suddenly, Yoshikage Kira felt a significant lightening of his burden.

He wasted no time and did everything in his power to get closer to the Herrscher of the End.

He knew that he was not fighting alone.

Ten meters, ten meters away, the irresistible gravity reappears.

'Has everyone reached a point where they can no longer support the Star Ocean Alliance?'

'Then I'll walk the next ten meters myself.'

But the Lawyer cannot be defeated by mere passion.

I can't even crawl that ten meters anymore.

"..."

"You can live the peaceful life for me."

"Killer Queen! First bomb!"

With great difficulty, Yoshikage Kira raised his hand to his chest and activated his ability, sacrificing his entire body below the chest to blast a part of his body toward the Herrscher of the End.

"I've run into you, Herrscher of the End."

"Killer Queen, first bomb, activate!"

The Herrscher of the End's body trembled, and then gradually exploded from the spot where Yoshikage Kira's right hand touched.

"Ha, haha, just as I expected."

"It will still work if you encounter it."

The disappearance of the restraining barrier and gravity allowed everyone to regain their ability to move.

The group rushed anxiously to the center of the battlefield, only to find Kira Yoshikage with a mangled body.

"Boss, boss, don't scare me!"

"Quickly, Mebius, save the boss!"

When Pado saw Kira Yoshikage's appearance, she burst into tears.

Velvi took out the Black Abyss White Flower, which she had kept as a backup weapon, and desperately activated the Honkai energy within her body, ignoring the damage to her own body.

The constant influx of new life energy can never keep up with the rate at which it is lost.

"Why isn't it working! Heal him!"

On his deathbed, Yoshikage Kira struggled to speak, and when he saw Kira's lips move slightly, Virvi leaned down and pressed her ear against them.

"Padour, Vivi, I love you."

[At 29, to protect everyone, you perished together with the Herrscher of the End.]

[You are dead. Simulation ends.]

……

"What you said is true!"

“Yes, Vilvie, Padre, I did see Kira Yoshikage’s fate, in the moment before he died.”

"Your destinies are still intertwined."

"It extends all the way to 50,000 years from now."

……
