Most of the audience found the battle underwhelming and disappointing. Few realized that the true contest had unfolded not through physical blows, but in a clash of Hearts and Intents.
This was the customary way members of the Heart Tribe fought: polishing and refining their Heart Essence and Manifestations by pushing their Intent, Consciousness, and Soul to the absolute limit, and often beyond.
In the end, Kireina proved to possess far greater History, Struggle, and Obsession. Her Madness overwhelmed everything. Wasp was forced to kneel and swear eternal loyalty.
"The battle is over," Lord Chaos announced with a nod. "The winner is my dear daughter, Kireina!"
As the official declaration rang out, her supporters erupted in celebration—her maids, her aunt, her cousins, and everyone who loved and cherished her.
"WOOOOOHHHH!"
Wasp's followers, mostly hitmen who had admired his ruthless nature, stood speechless as they watched him submit so completely.
