Resounding Victory: The Melodic Battle Crowned!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for us to take the next crucial step in determining the winner of this competition. We now turn to you, our esteemed audience, to cast your votes and decide who will be crowned the champion."

With the host's announcement, the audience swiftly retrieved their devices to cast their votes.

"Hurry up and vote for them!"

"Wow, I didn't plan on voting, but their singing has compelled me to!"

"What are you waiting for? This song is incredible! It would be a great injustice if it isn't chosen as the champion!"

"While Mina's song was good, I prefer this one! It has completely exceeded my expectations for this competition!"

Many people encouraged those around them to vote, expressing their opinions and preferences.

The live chat room was flooded with an incessant stream of comments, filling the entire screen. The online viewers shared their thoughts and showed their support through the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments.

"Irina and Cecilia, you blew me away! Your performance was absolutely stunning. You have my vote!"

"This is the performance of a lifetime. Without a doubt, I'm voting for Irina and Cecilia!"

"I can't stop crying. Their song touched my soul. They deserve to win!"

"Incredible talent! Irina and Cecilia have my vote. Let's make them the champions!"

"I've never been so moved by a song. I'm voting for Irina and Cecilia until the end!"

The chat room overflowed with comments expressing admiration, support, and pledges to vote for Irina and Cecilia.

On the large screen, a voting window appeared. As the host announced the start of the voting period, the vote count on the screen began rapidly increasing.

The votes were pouring in quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the count had surpassed one hundred thousand votes.

Backstage, Composer Jules was filled with nervousness.

Composer Jules's smile faded significantly, and his heart raced rapidly.

Mina glanced at the vote count and sighed inexplicably.

Jun's expression turned notably serious and tense. He anxiously watched the voting screen, but no words escaped his mouth.

Sitting there, Alan calmly observed everything before him. He had already anticipated this outcome in his heart.

Jun's manager appeared extremely nervous at this moment. "Why is the vote count increasing so fast? It doesn't make sense!"

"Could there be a problem somewhere? Why is it increasing so quickly? Slow down!" she exclaimed.

Mina's manager was also astonished by the surging vote count.

Mia was full of excitement. She prayed for them to win, but it seemed that her prayers were unnecessary.

On the big screen,

100,000

120,000

150,000

180,000

200,000...

And then the vote count rapidly surged forward, reaching 230,000!

Upon seeing the vote count reach 240,000, Composer Jules and Jun completely lost their composure! They were going to be overtaken soon.

Composer Jules looked urgently at the host on the other side and spoke, "Announce the end of the voting! The time is up!"

The host didn't hear his plea as the atmosphere in the auditorium was noisy, and there was still time remaining before the voting period ended. Moreover, the voting system was automatic and beyond his control.

Beside Composer Jules, Jun had shed all traces of arrogance and quietly muttered, "It has surpassed us!"

Composer Jules heard his voice and felt his heart sink. He turned his head and saw on the screen that the vote count for "Heart's Embrace" had already surpassed 260,000!

It has surpassed "Eternal Duet"!

Now, "Heart's Embrace" has become the highest-voted work of the day!

However, it didn't stop at 260,000 and continued rising rapidly.

290,000

300,000

350,000...

There was no sign of it slowing down!

Finally, when the countdown reached zero, the final voting result appeared.

650,548 votes!

It was over!

When the data appeared, Composer Jules's face turned pale, his legs trembled slightly, and he felt weak. He could barely stand steady.

It was not just a defeat but a complete defeat with no argument left!

His mind went blank, and he couldn't think at all.

Jun beside him found it difficult to accept the result before him. He kept repeating one word, "Impossible, impossible, impossible!"

On the other hand, Mina seemed the calmest. She sighed and said, "This performance truly deserves such recognition. It's amazing!"

Unlike the other two, she had already prepared herself to accept defeat, knowing that Irina and Cecilia's music was undeniably legendary.

She couldn't help but applaud.

The host quickly took the stage, his face filled with excitement and joy. "650,548 votes!" he announced.

"This is the final vote count for 'Heart's Embrace' and the highest vote count of the event! Not only for this season, but among all five seasons we've had, this is the highest number of votes we've ever received!"

"Let's congratulate the winners, Irina and Cecilia!"

As the host's voice faded, Mia couldn't help but jump up in joy!

She had thought about it, but it turned out she didn't need to contemplate. Irina and Cecilia had outperformed everyone in this competition. Their vote count was twice as high as Mina and Jun's performance.

Jun's manager sat there, wearing a stunned expression.

Mina's manager looked saddened as she said, "Idol Irina and Cecilia have won! So... Mina has lost once again!"

She had hoped that this year would be their turn, but they had lost again. They lost and would never be able to win the trophy in this competition.

Next year, Mina would no longer be eligible to participate as she would have already debuted for over three years. Now, she could only try her luck in other competitions.

Mia's face flushed with excitement. She turned to Alan and said, "Senior Irina and Cecilia have won! They really did it!"

Considering they had only debuted a month ago, it was an arduous task. Mia believed that Irina and Cecilia's popularity would skyrocket after this competition.

The number of online viewers reached three million!

Alan simply smiled and said, "It was expected."
