The whole battle was to
make the plot bend to her will. Or have you forgotten, it's a
performance as much as it is a battle.

The battle was the same. The rules should have been the same. Good writing means, among other things, to be able to resolve the story without contradicting your fictional universe.

One battle ends, that doesn't mean you can't start the next one right away. Once Karen knew what to do, there was no point in delaying.
And the paramount rule is: Put on a good performance!

Top star means you're the top. Hikari's not a top star after being defeated by Karen.

And Karen wants a stage where Hikari stands
with her. Since you keep insisting on following the rules, then follow the one that says Karen gets to decide her Stage of Fate because she won.

Then it should have been an ending where everyone gets to participate and do that.

Everyone
did get to participate. The 100th Starlight had nine named characters. They could have done a happy ending without adding the additional character played by Nana. It was symbolic of their changed circumstances.

This ending just showed how Karen is special and the rules don't apply to her.

I think you can find more peace if you think of it as Karen
changed the rules. The 100th event is simply to stand for how that affects the nine of them.
As to why could she change the rules? Easy. It lets the performers put on better shows. Which is
the most important thing.
Did she need to say she changed the rules? No. Rising again to Hikari's stage was sufficient demonstration that the rules had changed.
