[booming]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[Macaque groans]

[MK screaming]

[both grunt]

No! What have you done?!

[grunts]

[groans]

Kid, stop!

You can't do this!

I have to do this!

[grunts]

This isn't the kind of thing I meant

when I told you
to choose your own destiny.

You don't understand.
If I don't do this, everyone loses.

Everything gets destroyed!

You don't always have to be the hero!

It doesn't always need to be you!

This is the only way!

[sighs] You don't know that.

You can't.

[Nine-Headed Demon] Yes.

[Macaque groaning]

-He can't.
-[groaning]

[gasps]

Oh, that was quite a trick.

That power.

Who gave that to you?
Who'd you make a deal with?

A deal?

[sighs] It doesn't matter.

-[groaning]
-It's all going to be over soon.

[snaps]

[all straining]

Kid!

The Harbinger knows
this is what he was made for.

That this is the only way to save you all.

Are you really going
to reject his sacrifice?

[Mei] MK! He obviously wants you to do it,

which means
it's definitely what you shouldn't do!

[Nine-Headed Demon] No. I told you,
I get out either way.

[groans frustratedly]

But I have had enough of control.

Enough of watching people
put themselves in cages.

Of watching them push away the chaos,

when the chaos
is what makes them who they are.

[grunts] Kid, no!

Child, I am not deceiving you.

Sacrifice yourself,
don't sacrifice yourself.

It is entirely up to you.

[sighs]

[Pigsy grunting]

There's gotta be another solution.

Look around.

[all gasping]

[MK] The world is ending.
I can't just do nothing.

Who's saying "do nothing"?!
Let's fight this guy!

This can't be how we solve it!

I have to save you. Save everyone.

[Pigsy] We're not asking you to save us!

[Tang] Together. It's the only way we win.

Not this time.

I'm sorry.

If you're sorry, then you know
it's the wrong thing to do, son!

[sobs]

Just because it's hard
doesn't mean it's not right.

[grunts]

[groaning]

[yelling]

[grunts]

[Monkey King] Kid! No!

[straining]

[sighs]

Here goes nothin'.

Make it count.

[gasps] What?!

[yelling]

[gasps, groans]

[all groan]

[booming]

[wincing]

[energy warbling]

Wha… What did you do?

Y-You cut me off from the chaos.

[stammering] I can't feel it!

[voice distorting] What did you do?!

[screaming]

[wincing]

Bud, are you…

[weakly] Stop the kid, you idiot.

No!

I will not let you take this from him!

[Ne Zha yelling]

[growling angrily]

[Ne Zha] Wukong, go!

[grunting]

[all grunting]

[yelling]

Together, we will stop you!

Ha.

We will not let you destroy this world.

-[laughing in background]
-[multiple voices] You blind little fools.

You stupid…

little…

people!

[cackling]

[groaning]

[Monkey King yelling]

I'm not letting you do this!

[Nine-Headed Demon continues laughing]

[multiple voices] You fools!

[groans] Hey!
Enough with the creepy laughing!

Yeah! Stop whatever it is
you're doing in there, guy!

-[laughing in background]
-You have thrown away your only chance!

It's over!
Monkey King's gonna stop the kid.

You are done!

You don't see it! [laughing]

But if you try and stop MK
from making his choice,

I have no problem ending you now!

[all groaning]

[gasps]

[roaring]

[MK grunts frustratedly]

You have to get out of my way!

Please!

That's not gonna happen, bud.

You never gave up on me.

I'm not giving up on you.

Don't make me do this.

No, kid.

Don't make me.

[groaning]

[Monkey King grunts]

I'm trying to save you!

[grunts]

[MK screaming]

[Monkey King grunts]

No! No!

[straining] No!

There's so much
I didn't get to teach you yet.

Monkey King, please!

This has to happen!

This is the only way!

Yeah. You're right.

Seems like this really is the only way
to save everyone.

Then… Then you have to let me go.

Whatever the goddess
and destiny has planned for you,

you came from the same stone I did.

What?

Destiny can't have you.

It can have me instead.

No. Monkey King!

The world needs you
more than it needs me, bud.

Thank you.

For everything.

[MK] Monkey King! Stop!

Please!

[straining]

[MK yells]

[grunts]

-[circlet chiming]
-[groaning in agony]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[panting]

No! No!

[screaming] No!

[groans] Kid, no!

[screaming desperately]

No! No!

[MK] I'm sorry.

It has to be me.

[Monkey King groaning in agony]

[echoing] Kid, no!

No!

[Ne Zha yelling]

[Li Jing grunts]

[Tang] Whoa!

[Pigsy grunting]

Huh?

[Sandy grunts]

[straining]

[Nine-Headed Demon yelling in pain]

[gasps]

[groaning]

[Tang] Huh?!

[Pigsy grunts] Kid!

[all groan]

[grunts, gasps]

[Pillar of Heaven ringing]

[magical chiming]

[voice breaking] MK, no!

It's done.

It's finally over.

Wukong.

[sighs]

[MK stirring]

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[stone chiming]

[stones chiming]

[gasping softly]

-[gasping]
-[woman] Child.

I am so proud of you.

Nüwa?

You have done so much good.

Everything you had to, and more.

So…

So is it done?

Is everyone okay now? Did it…

Did it work?

Because of your sacrifice,

the Pillar will be restored.

This sanctuary will continue.

[magical chiming]

[MK] They're all…

[breathes deeply in relief]

[voice breaking]
They're all gonna be okay.

[sobs]

My… My friends, right?

They're…

[grunts]

They're all gonna be okay, right?

The cycle…

begins again, child.

The Pillar will be restored,

but this cycle…

-[gasps]
-…has come to an end.

This world, all that inhabit it,

they will continue.

But not as they are.

They will return in the next cycle.

And the next,

and the next,

and the next.

No.

No, you can't. You're saying…

No!

The world you knew cannot continue.

It must be reforged.

It is the only way.
