Fresh blood kept seeping from every stitch of [Autumn]'s body, and the already fragile seams began to tear.

"Brother Qiu!"

"stop!"

Spring and Winter quickly launched an attack on Hera in an attempt to stop her, but it was too late.

*Pfft!*

【Autumn】is like a shattered Rubik's Cube, torn into countless pieces by Hera from the seams.

The chunks of flesh blossomed in the air, and the already shattered head began to lose its pupils.

Hera could already sense his life force draining away; this time, he was doomed!

At the torn opening of Autumn's chest, a photograph that had begun to yellow fell out.

Those pupils, which had already lost their luster, looked down as if possessed, and saw the photograph clearly.

The photo shows a girl who looks like she's from the last century, wearing a wedding dress and gazing happily at the camera.

Beside her was a man in a suit who looked somewhat awkward.

And this man's face looks remarkably similar to Qiu's! If you were to make the stitches on Qiu's body and her skin younger, they would be practically identical.

Looking at the photo, Qiu's unfocused pupils suddenly contracted, and dense black insects gushed out from the broken end.

"ah--! !"

The black worm, like a brand new limb, reconnected them, gripped the scythe, and slashed at Hera.

At the same time, two attacks from behind were about to hit.

Hera quickly pulled out the metal spikes, instantly blocking the scythe's attack. The metal spikes grew barbs that firmly wedged the scythe.

With a sudden burst of force, he flung him backward, and the attacks from [Winter] and [Spring] landed squarely on [Autumn].

But Qiu seemed to have lost consciousness. The black insect-wrapped hand grabbed Hera's head and stabbed down with the scythe.

The instant she stabbed, Hera decisively severed her head, and the remaining body split open, transforming into a giant mouth that bit off half of the opponent's body.

The flesh and blood mixed with black worms were swallowed by Hera in one gulp, and that incredible power surged into Hera's body once again.

Its body suddenly swelled, and a thick tentacle ripped through the air, lashing out at the remaining half of Qiu's body and sending it flying.

Spring rushed over and hugged Autumn tightly, while nervously looking around.

"Brother Qiu, hold on! I'll find you a body right away..."

"unnecessary……"

[Autumn] struggled to stand up, "I must hurry... and obtain [life]..."

Otherwise... once she gets a little stronger, we really won't have any way to deal with her!

"Fool!" [Winter] cursed angrily, "Forcing your body to maintain its strength by using your source energy like this will cause irreversible damage to your source energy! Even if you obtain [Life], your strength will be far less than before!"

But Qiu paid no heed, swinging her scythe at Hera.

"It doesn't matter!! As long as I can become the way she likes me again, nothing else matters!"

His eyes flashed with madness as he charged straight at Hera.

[Winter] gritted her teeth, looking utterly disappointed, "That person was clearly killed by you... and you're still deluding yourself!"

Having said that, he launched his attack.

Hera grew a brand new monster head, licked her lips, and felt the immense power within her.

This is the power of origin...

This power is tens or even hundreds of times stronger than any power Hera has ever absorbed!

At the same time, a strange feeling surged into every cell of Hera's body, seemingly causing a slight change in her.

Hera's newfound energy is now more concentrated than ever before, and she is confident that she can easily destroy and devour the three creatures in front of her.

[Autumn] Just as he arrived in front of Hera, a large hand covered in metal grabbed his head and slammed it to the ground.

Just as the mouth, full of fangs, was about to bite off its arm, countless ice spears pierced through.

Hera immediately raised [Autumn] as a shield.

[Winter]'s eyes flashed with conflict, but the Ice Demon still vanished into thin air just as it was about to pierce [Autumn].

Boom—!!!

Just then, a violent explosion rang out from the side, and a scorching heat wave surged in, melting most of the ice on the ground.

Amidst the flames of the explosion, a beam of multicolored laser light shot out.

At the top of the laser, there was a fiery figure that was actually being pushed backward by the laser.

Until it was knocked into the sea next to it.

Hera then realized that they had somehow ended up at the city's seaside.

[Autumn] raised his scythe, intending to cut off Hera's arm that was holding him, but he only managed to insert the scythe halfway in and did not cut it off completely.

A crimson maw flashed before his eyes, and the hand holding the scythe suddenly went numb.

Hera swallowed hard, somewhat surprised to find that the energy this time was much less than before.

It seems that, just as Winter said, Autumn is now fighting at the cost of burning through her lifespan. Although the power she unleashes is slightly stronger than before, the consumption is also enormous.

Hera tossed it aside and glanced up at Ekaren.

Ekalen and Hera looked at each other, then rushed into the sea and pressed Xia down into the ocean.

The seawater was boiling, emitting bursts of steam.

Hera opened her mouth, and her abdomen shot out blood rapidly like a high-pressure gun, aiming to take Spring's life.

Once this wet nurse is dealt with, [Winter] will just be meat on the chopping block.

[Spring] was shocked. A shield of warm light appeared in front of her, but it only blocked the light and shattered in a moment.

The gushing blood pierced his chest, then was frozen by a flash of cold light.

Winter, feeling sorry for Spring, distanced herself from her, saying, "Quickly heal yourself!"

[Spring] nodded slightly and applied warm light to her wound, which began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Winter] Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt as if I had stepped on something.

She looked down and saw the barbs that Hera had stuck in the ground earlier.

The barbs seemed to have triggered some mechanism, suddenly growing larger and piercing through their feet, with the remaining barbs all rushing towards the two women.

[Winter] immediately wrapped the two of them in ice to block the attack.

At the same time, a huge, scarlet figure appeared before them, and [Winter]'s pupils widened in shock.

Click!

The thick ice shattered instantly, and Hera pierced through their abdomens with a single claw, binding them together.

A mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and Chun stared in horror at the open mouth.

Pfft!

His head was bitten off in one swift motion, and his hands, which had been clutching his chest, fell limply to his sides.

Um?

Why is there so little energy? And it doesn't seem to have that primordial power.

Hera, somewhat skeptical, opened her mouth, ready to bite off [Winter], who was clenching his teeth in front of her.

But the next moment, a scorching heat came from Hera's back.

[Xia] held the fiery eye in his palm and swung it down at Hera with a ferocious expression.

Behind him was Aycaren, who was rushing towards him with all her might.
