The Herrscher of Fire Kiana, Seele, and the Herrscher of Sentience took the stage one after another to perform.
After listening to Bronya, Raiden Mei, and the others sing, everyone from CRYCHIC felt utterly shaken.
Each song was exceptionally outstanding, so good it made their entire bodies tremble.
With many of the songs, the moment the intro began, Togawa Sakiko—who had composing ability—could already tell it was a high-quality masterpiece.
The entire group was using one exceptional song after another to make everyone recognize them, remember them.
At the mention of the song [Cyberangel], people would immediately think of Bronya.
That was an image song.
After Angelia Schariac took the stage, the entire Budokan fell silent. Everyone was immersed in her exquisite voice and beautiful melodies, as if their souls were being cleansed.
Finally, with a nuclear-level god-tier song [aLIEz], the atmosphere of the performance was pushed to its absolute peak.
Because she had never inherited the abilities of the Schariac family since childhood, she had instead been raised as a noble—trained in singing and dancing. Combined with the vocal abilities she had obtained from other Herrschers of Dominance, her voice carried the effect of enchanting hearts and bewitching living beings.
As Angelia Schariac's singing came to an end,
It took a long time before the audience gradually came back to their senses. Then waves of screams rose up, surging forward like a tide.
"Good!"
"That voice is incredible—it's heavenly!"
"Sing another one! I'd do anything!"
"It was so good!"
...
Backstage, Angelia Schariac smiled at Shigure Kira. "Senior Shigure Kira, it's your turn to go on stage."
Shigure Kira waved her hands repeatedly, panic written all over her face. "No, no! I'll be honest with you—my singing is really awful. Let's just forget it. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone..."
The performance so far had already been perfect.
"Senior Shigure Kira, there's no need to be modest at a time like this."
Angelia Schariac blinked. "Didn't we agree? Each person would go up and sing two or three songs. You understand idols better than anyone among us. You even guided us on stage techniques. Your singing must be great."
"I'm serious!"
Shigure Kira was getting anxious.
"I understand now, Senior Shigure Kira—you just lack confidence." Angelia Schariac looked at her with a smiling expression. "It's okay. I can help with that."
The girl's eyes shifted from blue to red, glowing with a strange crimson light.
"What are you going to do—"
Before she could finish speaking, Shigure Kira's gaze turned vacant and unfocused.
The smile at Angelia Schariac's lips grew brighter and brighter. "Senior Shigure Kira, your singing is the best. Go onto the stage and sing it out loud!"
Her voice was like hypnosis.
Shigure Kira responded blankly, "My singing is the best."
"Mm-hm, Senior Shigure Kira, do your best."
Shigure Kira's eyes returned to normal, filled with confidence. "Just watch me."
She walked onto the stage and waved to the entire audience. "Hello everyone, I'm Shigure Kira. You can call me Kiraboshi."
"Everyone, are you ready?"
The moment Shigure Kira appeared, the entire venue exploded.
"Yes!!!"
The audience went crazy, screaming and cheering nonstop.
With Bronya, Raiden Mei, Angelia Schariac, and the other exceptionally talented idol singers performing before her, everyone naturally assumed that Shigure Kira, who was the finale, would be even better.
There was no way she would be bad.
She stood at the center of the stage, looking at the crowd below waving glow sticks.
"So she's Kiraboshi?"
Seeing that the mission target was the final performer, Togawa Sakiko couldn't help but feel a bit more anticipation.
Under everyone's gaze, Shigure Kira began to sing.
Hm?
Was the sound equipment broken?
That was her voice...
Wait. Not sure. Listen a bit longer.
As they listened to Shigure Kira's singing, the crowd gradually began to frown. The more they listened, the more something felt wrong.
This wasn't right.
Was this really singing?!
Or was it some music so far ahead of its time that they simply couldn't comprehend it?
At first, the audience thought it was just their lack of appreciation. But after listening for a full minute, they realized that wasn't it.
This singing was truly...
Painfully awful!
Kiraboshi's voice was even more ear-piercing and unbearable than fingernails scraping against glass. It made their scalps tingle, their bodies uncomfortable, and even caused physical distress.
It was practically a sonic attack.
Some audience members with weaker tolerance fainted on the spot.
"Please, I'm begging you—stop singing," Togawa Sakiko covered her ears with both hands. She finally understood why this mission was worth ten million yen.
Takamatsu Tomori looked at Togawa Sakiko with teary eyes. "I... I want to go home."
Shiina Taki endured the terrifying singing and pulled Takamatsu Tomori away. "Tomori, let's go."
Nagasaki Soyo said, "Sakiko, this singing is too terrifying."
Wakaba Mutsumi said, "Saki, let's leave!"
Togawa Sakiko stubbornly replied, "You guys go first. I'm going to listen to the end."
Nagasaki Soyo grabbed Togawa Sakiko's arm. "Sakiko, there's no need. Really, there's no need to push yourself this hard. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."
Togawa Sakiko said, "You all go. This is my trial alone."
"Saki..."
"Saki."
Nagasaki Soyo and Wakaba Mutsumi exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and sat back down to endure it together with Togawa Sakiko.
At this moment, countless audience members scrambled from their seats, fighting to leave the venue, desperate to escape Kiraboshi's horrifying singing.
If they kept listening, they would go insane.
"La la la la la la la la la~"
Shigure Kira sang wholeheartedly, completely unaware that the audience below was scrambling and crawling in a mad rush to escape the Budokan.
To complete the mission, Togawa Sakiko forced herself to endure until the end.
At the very moment that soul-snatching voice finally disappeared, she collapsed as well.
The concert by the people of the Honkai world caused an uproar online.
The vast majority of their songs shot up the music charts, becoming the hottest tracks.
As for Shigure Kira, the final performer, she literally sang members of the audience into the hospital. In another way entirely, she became a legendary and famous figure.
[No wonder they didn't charge me for a ticket. They were trying to charge me with my life!]
[Next time, just charge me for the ticket! Double is fine! I only have one request—Kiraboshi, please don't open your mouth.]
[Being able to sing this badly is a rare talent in itself.]
[This was definitely intentional. Lure people in and kill them.]
[I was watching the livestream at home. The moment my dog heard Kiraboshi sing, it went crazy and started tearing the house apart.]
[Kiraboshi's singing is amazing. She should go solo.]
...
With a single live performance, the people of the Honkai world became famous overnight.
