The pixelated heart in front turned blue again, and Aikalen swung it down sharply.

The clones that had already reached Aikalen were all violently slammed to the ground.

He raised his hand again.

Countless white spears rose from the ground, piercing through all the clones that had fallen to the ground.

Blood blossoms bloomed in bursts.

Ten of the clones turned to ashes and disappeared into the air, leaving only the original body behind.

The spear retracted back into the ground, causing secondary damage to the already pierced Sanga.

Another mouthful of scarlet blood spurted from her mouth. Her eyes were open, and she slumped her head weakly to the ground.

The translucent straight knife in his hand also slipped down.

Upon witnessing his companion's death, Aka, still clutching the barbell, instantly flew into a rage.

Lift the barbell again and keep swinging it in place.

He fired one air cannon after another.

But without exception, they all passed through Ekaren's ethereal body and struck his back.

Aikalen sighed softly.

'You're quite strong, and your skill level is decent, but unfortunately, you're all muscle and no brains. I'll end your life with a more violent method.'

With a gentle tap of his finger, a huge white pixelated axe slowly appeared above the burly man's head.

"Darling, watch out!"

The blonde woman was shocked and quickly reminded Aka.

But the giant pixelated axe had already fallen.

With a thud!

The pixelated axe was embedded in the center of Aka, and the immense force caused the entire building to tremble slightly.

Aka's pose also froze at this moment.

The woman and the bearded man watched this scene with trembling hands, the blood bag in their hands falling to the ground with a thud.

The axe slowly disappeared, and Aka's body, cut in half, lay on the ground.

"No—! Ah..."

Pfft!

Just as the blonde woman was about to run over, a white spear pierced through her.

Blood flowed down the white spear and onto the ground.

But this spear seemed to be an object from another dimension, without being stained red at all.

The spear retracted into the ground, and the woman clutched her stomach and collapsed to the ground.

The bearded man, panting heavily, stared at the corpses of his companions scattered on the ground, his mind beginning to wander.

"What on earth did we do to offend you?!"

He let out a desperate shout, and angrily threw a large cleaver that materialized in his hand at Aikaren.

Aikaren controlled the red heart, gently dodging the cleaver.

The machete pierced through Aikaren's body and landed behind him.

Aikalen lowered his eyes, and a pixelated knife appeared beside him, piercing the bearded man's heart.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining his slightly graying beard crimson.

Finally, he tilted his head back and fell into a pool of blood.

Aikaren raised her eyes and looked at the only surviving bespectacled man on the scene.

The bespectacled man took two steps back in terror, his glimmer of hope instantly extinguished.

Just as Aikalen dodged the cleaver with her heart-shaped dovetail, the bespectacled man instantly realized that the pixelated heart was the real thing.

We need to attack that area to defeat Ekaren.

But he found out a little too late.

Pfft!

A bone pierced through the ground and instantly killed the bespectacled man, whose consciousness vanished along with his life.

The bones shrank back into the ground, and the pixelated bones protecting the surrounding walls slowly disappeared.

Aikaren stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

'That's strange, why don't I feel guilty or remorseful?'

But he soon realized it.

'Sigh, it's probably an effect of living in symbiosis with the boss.'

"I'm sorry, everyone. May you all rest in peace."

He spoke his last words directly, bowing to them with his hands clasped together.

They dragged the bodies together and Aikaren found a white cloth to cover them all.

Just then, he sensed Hera rushing towards him.

'This telepathic ability is really convenient; it reminds me of an anime I saw before.'

As Ekalen was thinking, she saw Hera rush in through the door and fall to the ground.

Before Ekalen could react, Hera jumped up again.

He turned his head to look at Aikalen, then at the body covered with a white sheet, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Boss, I've taken care of everything. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this is the entirety of this stationed team."

Aikalen reported to Hera, then lowered her head somewhat melancholically.

Because he knew what Hera was going to do next.

Although he had largely lost the guilt and psychological barrier to killing humans, his innate compassion still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But that's all it is—it's just unpleasant.

Hera sensed that something was wrong with the other person's emotions, so she tilted her head slightly and looked at Ekaren.

After thinking for a moment, she walked up to him.

While still looking down, Ekaren suddenly felt something soft resting on her neck.

Hera raised her hand and awkwardly wrapped her red scarf around Ekaren's neck.

After wrapping it up, she patted his shoulders with her small hands.

"You're amazing, I really like you."

After saying that, he turned around and eagerly unveiled the white cloth, picking up the most impressive-looking bearded man.

Aikaren stood there, stunned, somewhat dazed.

It took Ekalen several seconds to realize what was happening when she smelled Hera's unique scent emanating from the scarf.

Hera, she just praised me!

She said she really liked it! She even gave me her own scarf!

This was the happiest time of Aycaren's life. She felt praised, valued, and not disliked.

It's really amazing!

Even though he knew that Hera's liking for him meant liking his combat abilities, not that aspect of him.

But it's also an affirmation of his abilities!

Besides, this was the first time Aikalen had ever received a gift from a girl!

His heart began to pound violently, and an unprecedented warmth filled his entire heart and lungs.

[Aikalen, Determination +1]

Hera grabbed the bearded man's arms and lifted him up in front of her.

I took a closer sniff of his scent.

They're 'extraordinary'! And there's more than one.

The younger, burly man next to him, Aka, was also an 'extraordinary'.

The rest of the people, except for the one wearing glasses, were all called "Wang Shi".

This setup is truly formidable. If Hera were to fight them alone, it would probably take her quite some time to eliminate them all.

Fortunately, he had taken in a follower who was at the 'Ten Thousand Stars' level.

Hera turned to look at Ekaren again and nodded at him with satisfaction.

This made Aikaren blush with embarrassment.

Hehe, I've never eaten a human of such a high level before. The highest level I've ever eaten was a star...

Never mind, let's just start eating!

She bit down directly on the bearded man's neck, then slowly fed the flesh into her mouth.

After all, it's the first time eating it, and someone with such a high level of understanding will definitely eat it slowly.

It was ten minutes later when she finished eating.

Hera felt an unprecedented abundance of energy within her, as if it were about to burst forth from her body at any moment.
