Chapter 162

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

At this moment, she seemed to have transformed into Kiana in the game, trying her best to keep Yayi.

But no matter how much strength she exerted, she could never overcome Yayi's power.

With this, the final stage of Chapter 17 was also completed.

Seeing this, Kiana's expression was a bit dazed.

Just a moment ago, she was completely immersed in the plot.

As if after the game failed, Yayi would also leave...

"Kiana..." Just then, Yayi, who was sitting next to Kiana, pulled her arm.

This made Kiana suddenly snap back to reality.

"Yayi..."

Seeing Yayi right beside her, Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The stage selection page, just like before, still had a play button.

This was an animated short that every major chapter would have.

The short was titled—Sinner's Elegy.

Click to play the video.

The short's visuals began from a dim sky, and the quality was still incredibly excellent.

A gentle piano sound paired with the sound of a violin made the music appear incredibly sorrowful.

The camera slowly descended, finally landing on Kiana and Yayi on the rooftop.

And at this moment, the two of them were continuing the plot from the previous stage.

Yayi grabbed Kiana by the neck and threw her away fiercely.

Her expression and tone appeared incredibly cold.

It wasn't that she was truly so cold to Kiana.

But... she could only pretend to be so cold.

Every punch that landed on Kiana made her feel incredibly heartbroken.

But she could only do this.

No one forced her.

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

Yayi gritted her teeth and coldly advised: "Give up..."

"I... will not... let you go!" Kiana's tone sounded very weak, but also incredibly firm.

At first, she indeed didn't know the reason why Yayi joined the World Serpent.

But... Kiana actually wasn't stupid.

When Yayi became the Herrscher of Thunder, the Gem of Conquest in her body disintegrated.

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

Just by thinking about it a little, she could know the reason—the World Serpent helped Yayi become a Herrscher, took back the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder from her, and allowed her body to be relieved.

But the prerequisite was... requiring Yayi to join the World Serpent...

How could she let Yayi jump into this fire pit?

In her view, the World Serpent was not a good thing.

"I... will not give up!"

She bit her silver teeth tightly, dragging her frail body, wanting to stop Yayi from leaving.

But... how could she, heavily injured, keep the peak Herrscher of Thunder?

Beaten down again and again, yet standing up again and again.

Finally, Yayi could no longer endure it.

She slightly increased the force of her attack, giving Kiana a set of Void Slashes.

"Bang~"

Kiana was fiercely knocked away, her delicate body hitting the ground, stirring up bursts of dust.

Yayi's expression was cold, and the electricity surrounding her body crackled.

And just as Yayi was about to leave, countless void cracks suddenly appeared around her.

In the blink of an eye, dense Spears of Void flew out from the cracks, trapping her in place.

"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~~"

This was the crisp sound of high heels stepping on glass.

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

And when the players saw this scene, their hearts trembled slightly, and their eyes began to moisten.

Because... Kiana had truly tried her best to keep Yayi.

Even dragging her heavily injured body, she still used the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

But... Kiana's actions precisely stepped on the lightning point.

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

In her heart, she felt both heartbroken and angry, with a trace of helplessness.

"You have always... been like this, Kiana."

"You have always been like this!!" Yayi's tone sounded incredibly angry.

This was also the first time Yayi had gotten angry at Kiana.

"Clearly covered in wounds, yet you still force yourself to smile..."

"You saved me, saved everyone, yet you want to bear all the pain alone, even paying with your life!"

"Yayi... this is my mission."

Seeing that Kiana still wouldn't listen to her persuasion, Yayi gritted her teeth and reached out to grab the Spear of Void that was trapping her.

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

"How do you expect me to endure all of this?"

The Herrscher energy within Yayi surged wildly.

The powerful Honkai energy made the raindrops float in the air.

"I only know that in my heart... compared to this world..."

"You! Are the most important!"

Yayi crushed the Spear of Void with one hand.

Terrifying lightning struck down, churning the Spears of Void that trapped Yayi into pieces.

And the electric guitar music became increasingly urgent.

Until the female vocal singing began.

The audience only felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Damn Mihuyou loves to play this trick.

When the audience's emotions reached their peak, music that perfectly matched the animated scene would suddenly play.

And such an operation could make the players' emotions explode instantly.

As the animation played to this point, the two finally abandoned their previous fighting and truly used their Herrscher-level powers.

【A sad smiling face stained with blood】

【Your body temperature flowing away】

【Caught in a vortex of noise】

【In this gradually collapsing world】

Accompanied by the female singing, the animation was perfectly synced.

And in the battle, Kiana, dragging her heavily injured body, how could she possibly beat the peak Yayi?

To completely cut off Kiana's thoughts of keeping her, Yayi gritted her teeth and fiercely slashed a bolt of lightning at Kiana.

When the light dissipated, the music also entered a gentle stage.

In the sky, Kiana fell into a coma, falling toward the ground.

At the moment Yayi grabbed Kiana's arm. ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
