Chapter 487: Eighty-four: The Final Chapter of Hewinia (5K)_3
Because that final chapter still resounds in their ears, and the notes on their bodies are still resonating with it.
The final chapter, which occurs once every twenty years, does not bring the usual divinity, tradition, art.
But rather the stench, desire, and darkness unique to the Seed District.
At this moment, all the players of the Holy Sound experienced visions in the resonance.
They saw their kind mating frantically like beasts.
They saw the bodies of children thrown into mass graves or used as feed.
They saw little hands reaching out from what could be either a dung pit or mud, with notes akin to rust on those hands.
The deepest, most unspeakable places.
At this moment, through the divine sound scattered on the earth, it merged into everyone's notes.
...
"Hewinia!!!"
In the Seven Sounds Temple, Ulysses let out a roar of utmost fury.
He no longer had his usual composure.
At this moment, he looked like a frenzied lion.
"What are you doing!?"
"What are you letting the Master listen to?!"
He raised his scepter, aiming it at Hewinia, who was enveloped in Holy Light.
Around him, the Holy Light, once peaceful and joyous, now appeared somewhat distorted.
Ulysses could feel it.
Hewinia could feel it too.
The Holy Sound Master was also angry.
This was not the final chapter desired by Him.
This is... Desecration!
In an instant, an overwhelming pressure surged from all directions, and the scepter in Hewinia's hand suddenly sprouted thorns, piercing through her tightly gripping hand.
The notes playing the final chapter also trembled continuously, possibly being destroyed at any moment.
The Holy Sound Master,
was truly angry.
He wanted to take back the scepter granted to Hewinia.
He wanted to inflict the severest punishment on this human daring to desecrate Him.
And at this moment, Hewinia opened her eyes.
Her gaze at Ulysses was no longer calm, and a slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth.
This was her... mockery.
She was mocking Ulysses, and also...
The Holy Sound Master.
But that wasn't enough; she was still waiting for the final moment.
Just before the Holy Sound Master was about to take back the scepter, she grabbed it and thrust it into her own body.
And this was also... the position of the Fourth Note.
Her Fourth Note bore black spots, like an intensely concentrated... infection.
Seeing this scene, Ulysses widened his eyes.
That was... Karen's virus!?
This person intends to... infect the Holy Sound Master?!!!
"You lunatic!" Ulysses shouted, "You think you can harm the Master with just that bit of virus?! Foolish!"
Hewinia chuckled softly, then tore off her coat.
Ulysses saw that there was an unactivated... Eye of Ceremony on her body.
Was that... the Eternal notes?!
Ulysses finally felt unease, but it was too late.
Hewinia activated the Eye of Ceremony.
With it came the power of all the Golden Sound Players in the entire history of the Holy Sound, spanning a thousand years.
It fell upon her.
And Hewinia chose to concentrate all the power on the Fourth Note.
The Fourth Note with black spots.
At that moment, the black spots suddenly expanded, exploding, spreading like ink into clear water, instantly contaminating the Holy Light!
And with the aid of the Holy Light, it rapidly spread to all the players listening to the final chapter.
...
"What is this thing?!"
"Isn't this Karen's disease? Why is it growing on me?!"
"No, my notes, my notes will be destroyed!"
"Maggie! Maggie! Think of something!"
...
"Ahhhh! What the hell is going on?!"
"Ma'am! Please don't panic."
"Get away! It's on you too!!" Mandy looked at Ivan in great shock, "Ivan, what the hell is happening?!"
Ivan sat dazedly on the ground, his gaze lifeless.
...
"Damn it?! What's on these bastards?!"
"Boss! It's on you too!"
"...Bastard! It must be these guys who infected me! It must be them who infected me!"
Furious and humiliated, the manager grabbed a whip and charged towards the breeding males and females.
"I'll kill you all!"
Ogg watched in shock as chaos erupted in the Seed District.
Then he looked up again at the Holy Light.
The eternal Holy Light was also covered in black spots, spreading quickly.
This gave Ogg a thought so insane he couldn't believe it himself.
The Holy Sound Master... was infected too.
...
Ulysses was infuriated.
But he didn't dare to take action against Hewinia.
Because at this moment, Hewinia was like a huge bomb, and he didn't know what consequences killing her recklessly might bring.
But he could feel that the Master was infected too.
Karen's virus was originally a deadly disease targeting notes.
The entire Holy Sound had no way of curing this ailment, it could indeed be considered a poison for notes.
But Ulysses never thought that Hewinia would use this method to attack the Holy Sound Master.
Because the virus of just one person couldn't possibly affect the godlike Holy Sound Master, not even in the final chapter, the closest the Master and the player ever get, could it be possible.
But Hewinia used the Eternal notes!
She maximally strengthened the virus's properties to an infinite degree.
Under this limitless enhancement, Hewinia turned the impossible into possible.
This madwoman turned herself into a bomb, intending to use it to kill the Holy Sound Master!
She had never intended to go back alive!
Ulysses watched Hewinia's body rapidly disintegrate, and roared: "It's useless, Hewinia! This virus can't kill the Master!"
Hewinia struggled to lift her head, looked at Ulysses, and softly said: "I never intended to kill Him, that's not something I could do, all I wanted to kill... was just you all."
Just... us?
Ulysses heard these words, his pupils contracted again.
Then he suddenly realized.
To terminate this virus, there was only one way.
This was the only one.
"Bang."
He heard a crisp sound.
When the black spots were about to spread to the firmament above, the Holy Light broke.
Ulysses stood dumbfounded on the spot, staring up at the firmament.
There was nothing there.
This made him realize.
The Holy Sound Master withdrew His gaze.
And...
"Bang."
Another crisp sound.
He lowered his head.
Saw his own notes crumbling.
Finally turning to dust.
"This is the final chapter I offer you all."
Hewinia chuckled softly as she spoke.
"Are you satisfied, dear Principal."
