Annan didn't realize what the princess wanted to do, but he realized her last words, raised his head and shouted, "We don't need to do this...... There are other ways! Think of the Kraken! ”

"We're different...... Only I can solve all this......"

The princess's figure and voice gradually faded, and she lowered her eyes and looked at Annan like a god.

"Live for me......"

Annan, who realized something, turned around and watched another princess quietly come to her side, looking up at her in a daze.

Whew-

The blazing light suddenly erupted, turning into a dazzling pillar of light that drilled out of the circular square and into the sky.

The fierce wind stirred Annan's black hair and robe, and only the raised face was gently caressed by the light.

Annan suddenly realized that after that day, the princess no longer suppressed the weirdness not because of her own advice, but because she was accumulating strength......

She wants to cleanse Persona of weirdness once and for all?

Annan was powerless to stop it, and could only watch as the princess gradually turned into a ray of light.

At this time, the mutation protrudes.

The silent Seal Gate slowly oozes a rich ominous and gloomy coldness, like ink spreading across the circular square......

The pillar of light that the princess had transformed was gradually dimmed by the darkness that seemed to be substantial.

Not enough...... The princess can't suppress the Sealed Gate and the entire Persona City.

Is she going to fail?

Annan looked down at the flower pot, would throwing it there at this point stop it?

A gray shadow suddenly popped out as he hesitated. Annan tried to grab the princess who rushed out, but the palm of his hand passed through her illusory body, and then he saw that the princess was still standing aside...... Just lost all of your selves except life.

The soul of the princess was thrown into the pillar of light, as if a extinguished bonfire had fallen into the firewood, and the light was even more blazing and brilliant than before!

The wind caused Annan to raise his hand to block it, and an invisible wave of heat spread in all directions through him, the scorched girl, and the monsters in the front hall.

The dull screams of the towers returned to silence, and the filth that flowed out of it merged into a black river......

The royal city, the inner city, and the outer city, where the blazing light formed by the pillars of light passed, countless strange people let out short screams, dissipating invisibly.

Swan Lake was boiling, with terrifying waves, but after a brief moment, the wind calmed down.

Skeletron in front of the tomb looked up and watched as the last of the divine power poured out, nourishing and purifying the polluted land.

The divine power that fell on Skeletron's skeleton turned into tiny flames, burning Skeletron as an undead creature, but it didn't dodge, still looking up at the distant royal city.

"Is this your choice......"

……

Flowers.

As the festivities approach, Istria is decorated with flowers, and the floats that pass by at fixed points attract followers.

Corrit and Rosella walked together on the street outside the garden.

"The great soothsayer just now said that your father is still alive, so what do you have to worry about......" Rosella said

Raise your head, look at the sky and exclaim, "What's that!?" ”

Corlett didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was just a trick to get her attention, but when she saw the pillar of light, she froze.

The direction of the pillar of light is southeast......

"Persona...... There's Persona! Her friend's shout brought her back to her senses.

"Why are you so excited...... "Corlett tried not to show the same excitement.

"So far away, so powerful, it must be good news...... Uncle Valencia is coming back! ”

"Whatever he wants...... It makes no difference whether he's in me or not. ”

……

Warehouse.

Happy water, which was jointly promoted by the bitter nine major liquor merchants, was very popular at the beginning of its sale. Compared to wine, this slightly pungent sweet drink simply pokes their taste buds.

All the happy water sold that day would be snapped up by the nobles and servants before the morning, and a large number of nobles would rush to ask for it

But that's not why Klein is here, at least not entirely......

Annan's portal anchor is here.

The pillar of light from Hearsa raised Klein, who stood like a sculpture in front of the door. The shimmer shone into the helmet at a coincidental angle, revealing a pair of pale green eyes.

……

Castle Lord's Mansion.

A real false princess, with gray hair that looks like a sickly brown in the sun......

She looked at the distant pillar of light, a hint of concern.

The princess hadn't been back in days, and it was Hearsa...... Could something be wrong?

Click-

The door behind the room was pushed open, and the fake princess didn't look back: "Put it there." ”

There was no sound to answer her, and the alert false princess suddenly turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a delicate goatee and a black cloak floating in front of her like a humanoid bat.

The fake princess showed a hint of fear, allowing the man's hand to pinch her chin lightly.

"Have you figured it out? Little Bat...... Betraying that useless princess. ”

……

The brilliant light that erupted from Hearsay City illuminated every inch of the surrounding land for hundreds of miles, and everyone looked up and could clearly see the pillar of light that penetrated deep into the sky.

"That's Hearsa's power! We can go home...... We can finally go home! ”

The survivors who had escaped from Hearsa ran into the streets, their faces beaming with joy.

Their celebration was soon interrupted by believers who rushed out of the church. They knelt down in the streets and prayed reverently for the greatest miracle since the gods lost contact......

……

Annan raised his head and looked at the fading circular square.

As if a breeze was blowing, the outline of the Sealed Gate drifted with the wind.

The ashes fell quietly like dancing snowflakes.

The glorious afterglow still reflects on the circular square, forming a faint but unwavering light. The reliefs around it seem to be given life, and their lips seem to move, silently singing the psalms that have been handed down through the ages:

A gray-haired, barefoot girl who carries the weight of Persona City.

Thorns entangled, pain into the marrow,

In a grotesque palace where secrets are hidden, she confronts the beast.

Bruised and wounded, full of pain,

Her eyes still sparkled with determination, vowing to drive the beast away.

The will is the soul, the soul is the salary,

Giving a ring to the most trusted person, the gray-haired and barefoot girl sacrifices herself.

Her figure gradually dissipated like the morning mist, and her singing faded away like the evening breeze.

She immortalized her soul with Hearsi.

The last remnants dissipated in the air, and the circular square was once again immersed in silence and darkness.

It's over......

The soulless princess sat on the steps and didn't react to the outside...... Only a shell remains.

Annan gently set the pot aside, and he walked up to the princess, knelt down on the steps, carefully picked up her weak palm, and placed the ring on her ring finger, which symbolized the owner of Hearsa.

"You will always be the king of Hearsi."
