is the two hundredth and seventy-second chapter of the Fire Force manga series.

Summary
As Dragon unleashes a beam of fire, Arthur Boyle uses steeled of death to unleash one final attack, Violet Flash: Earth Divider to defeat Dragon and split the earth. As both Dragon and Arthur drift off to space, Dragon praises Arthur of his victory and how he was given hope. Dragon thanks Arthur for his existence and disintegrates in space. Meanwhile, Faerie realizes Dragon has lost and the hope he has seen is extinguishing the flames of the Great Cataclysm. Everyone realizes Arthur has won the fight and praises him while some are worried he won't return. In space, Arthur yells out to Shinra Kusakabe and asks the devil how much more longer will he be a devil, proclaiming he has become the Knight King. Arthur notes how he may have let Dragon give him too many hits and recovery will take a long period of time. He looks at the sun and comments how it's more brighter compared to it on Earth and releases Excalibur from his grasp, leaving everything up to Shinra.
