It's hard to say the leviathan didn't die from a perforated stomach.
Cloud-Piercing Divine Arrow
A stage script co-written by the Actors in a relay format, depicting a certain facet of the battle to hunt the Voracity from different points of view. After the public performance ends, the writer with the lowest box office earnings will be tasked with hunting down the Troupe Master and hounding her for manuscripts for the coming year.
NARRATOR: While the Supplicants were locked in a fierce struggle with the leviathan, YAO GUANG continued to wander the labyrinth of possibilities. The past resurfaced before her eyes once more, like drifting smoke.
Curtain rises: As YAO GUANG walks across the battlefield of the Fanghu, red light is cast on the stage.
YAO GUANG: I recall the moment the Lux Arrow fell, its aftermath subsuming all living things. I saw the battlefield where the baleful star flickered, and the bloodstained past buried within. Back then, I mourned the fallen soldiers, unnerved by the Aeons' might. To think that a matrix woven by mortals could also draw in such distant light.
NARRATOR: Who shakes the counting rods? Who has opened the brocade pouch? Now that the sacred tree has fallen into the beast's maw, how will destiny conclude?
YAO GUANG: At this very moment, I shall call down the thunder of heaven in all its blazing glory, just as the Lux Arrow once buried all living things in ages past.
The stage set changes to the belly of the Voracity, and a plasma beam mimicking the Lux Arrow streaks across the stage.
NARRATOR: What a magnificent display of "Borrowing Arrows with the Sacred Tree," all thanks to the General's brilliant strategy. That arrow pierced the leviathan's innards, bringing daylight to the dark night.
YAO GUANG: When the Lux Arrow of The Hunt descends from the sky, A fate of woe shall manifest, and my demise will soon follow. One might say this ending is simply a divination fulfilled: A Reignbow Spiritus falls, and henceforth the Yuque loses its sovereign. With this body ensnared by the Plague, has the Xianzhou not lost an Arbiter-General?
The lights come up. YAO GUANG stands before the Ambrosial Arbor, center stage.
NARRATOR: But if one were to ask, after losing the power of divination, what does the General see? YAO GUANG: I see only a bright sky, a clear moon, and a gentle morning wind.
