People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

Ron slowly raised the golden greatsword in his hand, and as the swing increased, it exuded a kind of astonishing pressure!

"It seems that the only way to solve this problem is through fighting..."

While Ron was muttering to himself, Sakura's anger had already begun to erupt!

Its enormous body exuded an unprecedentedly terrifying destructive energy; the sheer oppressive force emanating from its appearance was enough to distort everything!

However, before her power could affect Ron, a terrifying force etched in the air had already begun to boil!

"Heavenly Fire, charge, 150%!"

"Annihilation Form!"

"Heavenly Fire, charge, 300%!"

"Extinction Beyond Limits!"

The intense heat enveloped the entire crimson-gold greatsword in an instant.

The moment the terrifying firestorm swept out, a certain burning red concept completely filled everyone's vision!

"boom!"

Ron raised the Limitless Annihilation Sword high in his hand, looking calmly at Sakura in front of him.

He knew very well that there was only one way to stop the other party, and that was—

Use overwhelming force to bring the other party to their senses!

"Varied……"

To everyone's astonishment, even horror, the boiling flames suddenly erupted from the greatsword in Ron's hand.

The intense energy violently tore open all the curtains, completely dyeing the entire sky red!

After a while, a quarter of the area of ​​the Destiny Airport had been completely reduced to ashes, and a third of the vast ocean below Destiny had been evaporated.

With an astonishing roar, an endless curtain of water covered everything.

It took people a while to gradually make out what was in front of them and see Sakura lying on the ground, her whole body completely burned.

"..." The students of St. Freya Academy.

The outcome of the battle exceeded everyone's expectations.

The terrifying power unleashed by the Exceeding Limit form of the Calamity completely overwhelmed people's understanding of power, releasing a terrifying force beyond the limits.

Faced with that absolute destructive storm, everyone felt like an ant desperately flapping its wings in the storm, fragile and hopeless.

Only after the flames had burned everything away did they realize that they were covered in cold sweat.

"Cough...cough..."

Meanwhile, Sakura, lying in the ruins of the battlefield, gasped for breath. She tried to move her body, but found that her broken body was completely unresponsive and unable to move.

At this moment, even moving a finger is an extremely difficult thing for her.

She tried many times, but all her attempts ended in failure. At the same time, she heard a familiar voice in her ear.

"Don't worry, I've already tried to stop as much as possible. If I had let you continue sliding down in your collapsed state, you might have completely crossed the line between human and Honkai Beast, and then you would never be able to turn back..."

"To prevent all that from happening, I have no choice but to use Annihilation to leave you half-dead first... Don't worry, with my healing skills, I'll be able to fully recover you very quickly. You should be able to trust me."

Ron said this.

He walked over, maintaining a calm expression.

"I...I lost..."

Sakura looked at Ron, her expression suddenly becoming complicated. "Doctor, I like you."

"Yes, but I won't accept it."

"...What a ruthless guy."

Ron's overly direct answer caused Sakura's expression to change slightly, but she then smiled again, "However, I still like you, and that will never change."

Chapter 187 Mebius: All of this is the choice of Steins;Gate!

The girl had once heard that when a person is on the verge of death, everything they have experienced in their past life will flash before their eyes like a revolving lantern.

She didn't believe in such things before.

However, now, all that remains before her eyes is complete darkness.

Suddenly, countless images began to appear before her eyes.

The laboratory of the Bishop of Destiny.

The truth about experimental subject K423.

The destruction caused by the Second Herrscher's initial awakening.

The Herrscher personality within her re-emerged, personally summoning countless Honkai Beasts to battle the students of St. Freya Academy, and in doing so, harming those important to her...

'No, this can't be real!!'

The girl couldn't help but run away like this.

Ultimately, she still harbored a last glimmer of hope, a hope that everything she had just witnessed was merely a nightmare, a hope that everything would return to normal once the school bell rang.

However, the darkness before them was endless, and the feeling of weightlessness as they fell continued until finally, all they could see was endless nothingness!

At the same time, another voice in her heart spoke to her with a mocking tone:

"Still unwilling to accept reality? Kiana Kaslana, no, Experiment K423, you can never go back, never again..."

Do you think that once your former companions learn the truth about your monster nature, they will still be willing to let you get close to them and embrace them?

"That's right. In their eyes, the girl named Kiana no longer exists. The only way to save you now is to destroy you!"

"..."

The next moment, Kiana found herself surrounded by familiar figures.

Mei, Bronya, Himeko, Theresa...

Familiar faces approached her and then raised their weapons at her!

"Kiana, I'm sorry, but we have no choice! Because you are a Herrscher, we must kill you!"

"no, do not want!"

Kiana looked terrified, covered her head with her hands, and tried to run away.

She had had enough of this despair and didn't want to experience such cold pain again!

And just as tears involuntarily streamed down her face, revealing her sorrow...

A pair of warm hands were placed on her head without her noticing, relieving her of any fear or pain.

"This is……"

Instinctively, Kiana slowly opened her eyes.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that she was no longer in that dark place, but lying in a simple room.

"Are you awake?"

Ron looked at Kiana, who was gradually waking up, and slowly nodded.

He had just used his abundant power to suppress the Honkai energy within the opponent's body, thereby temporarily sealing the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, allowing Kiana's consciousness to recover.

"You are... Dr. Ron!?" Kiana's expression changed dramatically upon seeing him. She stared at the man in front of her with a confused and incredulous look. "Doctor, what are you doing here? Wait, where is this? How did I get here!?"

Seeing Kiana looking like she was grappling with the philosophical questions of 'Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?', Ron simply walked slowly up to her.

Seeing the girl's flustered appearance, he gently patted her head. "Don't worry, it's all over now. You don't need to worry about anything anymore."

"care……"

Upon hearing Ron's words, Kiana's mind was immediately flooded with fragmented memories.

In her memory, she had hurt one person after another who was incredibly important to her, and had even almost killed the teacher who was the most important person to her...

For a moment, she felt a kind of indescribable fear, but fortunately, Ron's hand stroking her head gave her a great sense of security, and she gradually recovered.

If it were the old her, she would have reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end when someone touched her head like that, finding it extremely difficult to accept.

But right now, faced with Ron's gentle caress, she instinctively showed an expression of enjoyment, even squinting her eyes in comfort...

On the other side, Ron was taking care of Kiana while watching the countdown in front of him decrease visibly, with only a few minutes left to spare, and he showed a complicated expression.

……

Paradise of the past.

The core area of ​​the World Snake Organization.

The dreamlike place where the heroes of the past paradise exist.

On this day, the gray snake and the raven arrived here in a panic, bringing back a severely injured hero, which caused a reaction throughout the entire Paradise of the Past.

No one expected that Sakura, who left unharmed, would return with such severe injuries. It was unimaginable what kind of person had done this to her...

However, before all this could spark a discussion among the heroes, Mebius cleared the area, leaving only himself and Sakura behind.

She first took out a special medicine and inserted a needle into the fox woman's neck.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the other person's injuries began to heal little by little, and before anyone knew it, they gradually regained consciousness and opened their eyes.

"I am..."

Sakura stared blankly at the familiar scenery before her, muttering to herself in confusion.

“Welcome home.” Möbius seemed unsurprised by all this, speaking calmly in a low voice, “Sakura, you’ve seen him, haven’t you?”

“He…?” Sakura recalled everything that had happened before, her memories becoming chaotic and disordered, but eventually calming down little by little. “Yes, I saw him… but I couldn’t stop him, and I didn’t manage to retrieve the Herrscher of the Void. The mission failed…”

After she finished speaking, a look of self-reproach appeared on Sakura's face.

She was blaming herself for failing to complete the mission, not even bringing back a Herrscher, and also for her own weakness, unable to accept that she was so weak that she had seen the man but failed to stop him and bring him back.

Mebius looked at Sakura in silence for a long time before finally placing her hand gently on the woman's trembling shoulder and speaking in a calm tone:
