"Stigmata."
"Herrscher."
"You intend to surpass the [Original] by relying on these shadows of the Imaginary?"
[Kiana: What is Otto rambling on about now?!]
[March 7th: Does this guy really have to put on airs at tis like this?!]
[Jean: Is this mockery? But… it doesn't quite feel like it.]
[Ningguang: Still… what Otto says doesn't seem entirely wrong.]
[Durandal: Using stigmata and Herrscher powers—Honkai-derived forces—to defeat the origin itself… it really isn't realistic.]
[Kiana: Then… what are we supposed to do?!]
[Honkai · Hiko: These are the only powers we have!]
[Rita: The Archbishop seems to be hinting at sothing.]
[Sushang: Eh… I feel that too!]
[Sushang: Sure, this Rakshasa usually acts smug and says nonsense at tis like this—]
[Sushang: But this ti… it really feels like he's trying to say sothing!]
[Tesla: Otto??? Would he really be that kind—or that careless?!]
[Durandal: No. I've always felt that the Archbishop has his own purpose.]
[Hanabi: Still, soone like Otto wouldn't make it that easy…]
[Einstein: Dr. Tesla, please calm down and think.]
[Einstein: Otto has never done anything without aning. From past experience, every word he says has intent.]
[Tesla: Sorry… chicken-head… When it cos to Otto, I really do get emotional.]
[Otto: Oh my, even the famous Dr. Tesla is apologizing now?]
[Tesla: You—! You bastard!]
Within the scene—
Although Durandal had sensed sothing amiss,
The battle did not stop.
No matter what thoughts they had—
They would only matter after Otto was defeated!
Facing Otto, this towering mountain—
Durandal's attacks continued unabated!
Kiana's greatsword kept swinging!
They had reasons they could not lose!
People they had to protect!
A world they had to defend!
"Kiana."
"When you awaken, you'll realize everything has changed."
"You'll find that this world is no longer beautiful."
"That ordinary, everyday life will be gone forever."
"Don't give up!"
"Never give up!"
"When you're lost, look up at the stars."
"I'll be there—to light up the entire night for you."
"[The Lightning that Conquers]… accept my power."
"No matter how many tis you lose your blade, I will reforge it for you."
"Thank you, i."
"Alright, go now. There's not much ti left, is there?"
"i… I—"
"It's fine. I understand, Kiana."
"I have so many things I want to tell i, but… let's save them for the next ti we et. Next ti, it'll be face to face, right?"
"Mm."
"Then… I'm going. Wait for my brilliant performance."
"…Don't lose, Kiana."
"Because with i around, it's like having the strength of a hundred people."
"…I think I had that dream again."
"Kiana… the younger sister who inherited your na—she hasn't disappointed you, has she?"
"Haha… at tis like this, I'll just pretend soone's listening—when I was little, I never imagined the Kaslana bloodline carried such a heavy curse. The restraint of stigmata, this hell of ice and cold…"
"But no matter what, I believe that we've always been helping others by our own will, protecting the weak by our own will…"
"Honestly, if Cecilia and the others were still alive… the of today should be able to face my conscience, to calmly accept any arrangent of fate."
"But… it was you. You were the ones who left like true Kaslanas…"
"So I have to keep encouraging myself like this. Even knowing hope is slim, I still tell myself…"
"I must leave this place. I must return to that child's side and tell her in person that I'm safe and sound…"
"That should be the greatest comfort I can give her now."
Fragnts of the past surged through the minds of Kiana and Durandal!
They clenched their teeth.
At this very mont—
Under Otto's torrential onslaught—
They charged again and again at this false god!
Shattering shield after shield!
Severing chain after chain!
Blocking Otto's attacks head-on!
Creating openings for the other—
A battle partner with whom they had never formally coordinated,
Yet who now fought in perfect harmony, utterly in sync!
One spear—Heavenly Origin Knight!!
One sword—Flascion's Blade!!
Relentless, unending, like crashing waves!
And finally—
Under such overwhelming pressure!
Cracks began to spread across Otto's many layers of defense!!
Outside the screen—
Everyone was astonished by this bond-filled joint assault!
[Kamisato Ayaka: There's… a chance of victory!]
[Clara: That's wonderful…]
[Furina: Is this the power of conviction?!]
[Tesla: Yes!! That's it!!]
[Honkai · Hiko: Kiana… you can do it!!]
[Kiana: Go… future !!]
[Keqing: This is actually getting my blood pumping!]
[Sushang: Looks like even a false god isn't unbeatable!!]
[Durandal: It's not that simple…]
[Theresa: Grandpa…]
And then—!
[False God Otto directly absorbs the power of the Seed of Nothingness]
Within the void—
Countless radiant golden swords, surging with terrifying might, rained down upon the two of them!
Caught off guard—
Kiana and Durandal's offense was forcibly interrupted.
"Girls, do you think I'm cruel?"
"Then let teach you the aning of cruelty—"
"Anyone who's fallen should be pushed down once more."
Otto's voice carried not the slightest trace of worry—
Even though fine cracks had already appeared across his armor!
Durandal guided her warhorse, evading one attack before charging Otto again.
She spoke coldly.
"Your urge to perform is really strong today."
"That line usually cos after the performance is over, doesn't it?"
Otto replied with a smile.
But at that very mont—
Kiana's fla-wreathed slash cut straight through his laughter!
"Because your performance—"
"Is already about to end!"
In the reflection of the blade—
Kiana's eyes seed to dance with blazing fire!
This strike—
Would pour out everything!
This strike—
Burned with the convictions of Teacher Hiko and i!
"Kiana!"
"Lift your head!"
"Keep moving forward!!"
"Go and take this imperfect story—"
"And turn it into what you hope it can be!!"
(Teacher Hiko…)
(I promised you.)
(I will take this imperfect story…)
(And turn it into the ending we all hoped for!!!)
At that mont—
The world fell utterly silent.
As Kiana swung her sword—
It was as if all sound and color were swept away!
In the eyes of every observer—
Only the leaping blaze of Flascion's fire remained!
Hiss—!
A soft sound rang out.
And then—
The sound of shattering!
Like ice cracking—
Like an ancient wall that had stood for ten thousand years collapsing under pressure!
Under this single strike—
In midair—
Otto, who had hovered like a god—
Began to fall!!
That black-and-gold interwoven armor—
Was turning to dust!!
At this very mont!!
Every viewer's heart clenched tight—
As if… they had glimpsed the dawn of victory!!
