The defense field has been taken down, and the Hyperion has almost arrived near the labs. Theresa and Mei feel something is off with how easily the defenses were taken down, when suddenly the Hyperion experiences strong turbulences caused by intense distortions in space. Mei suddenly finds herself in Kiana's arms, and worries about her wellbeing.

It is quickly revealed that the person carrying Mei is not Kiana, but the Herrscher of the Void, who is pleased to be reunited with one of her Herrscher Cores, the Gem of Conquest. The 3rd Herrscher quickly intervenes and separates them, saying that it's too late to save Kiana as she has already become possessed by the Herrscher of the Void, and that she is extremely dangerous. Mei says that is precisely the reason why she can't leave her alone. The 3rd Herrscher gives in and decides that in order to fight against a Herrscher, an equivalent amount of power is necessary to win the battle, and lends Mei her powers.

Mei, with the support of the 3rd Herrscher, engages in combat against the Herrscher of the Void.

Notes[]

  1. The stage select menu and stage details screen say Hail the Queen, while the graphic in chapter select menu has Will of the Herrscher written on it. The former name is more common, all things considered. This name discrepancy does not exist in all languages.
