The man's face turned extremely ugly as he looked at the seriously injured people who were being thrown at him like trash by Hera, as well as the ordinary people who were rushing towards him.
With a gentle lift of her hand, a soft breeze, like a cotton bed, catches the person thrown at her steadily, and then another gust of wind controls the person being manipulated by Hera.
But then, as if he had discovered something, his face immediately showed extreme anger.
He discovered that the people controlled by Hera were not trying to stop him, but rather wanted to kill the seriously injured.
This made the man extremely embarrassed. If these people only wanted to kill him or stop him, he could have easily shaken them off with his speed.
But if the man were to attack these seriously injured people, they would definitely die if he left them unattended.
On one hand, there was the task of hunting down the invaders; on the other hand, there were the lives of more than a dozen people. The man simply had no choice.
When a man hesitates.
Hera had disappeared from the man's sight and was frantically fleeing down the stairwell.
To think that a dozen or so ordinary people could stop a Star-level expert is, of course, a pipe dream.
Hera understood this perfectly, so she subtly took advantage of the fact that those born under the Night Stars possessed a certain degree of righteousness.
Although Hera seems rather dim-witted and dull in terms of emotional intelligence, use of electronic devices, and even common sense.
But this doesn't mean Hera isn't smart. After all, Hera spent five years deep thinking inside the stone, so she has no problem understanding human nature.
Soon, Hera ran to a deserted place and stopped.
Looking up and around, I saw that there was at least one camera in every direction I could see.
That makes sense, since it's headquarters, it's normal to have more cameras.
The two tentacles still growing behind Hera suddenly pulled out and slashed all the surrounding cameras to pieces.
The biggest problem now is how to find the girl who knows everything, because Hera only knows that the girl is at headquarters, but doesn't know her exact location.
The entire headquarters is over ten stories high and covers an area of nearly 80,000 square meters. There are countless rooms, and if you were to search room by room, you probably wouldn't find it even by dawn.
However, if you use clones to search, you'll die as soon as you bump into someone.
Besides, there are still a bunch of people watching and looking for me right now.
What should we do...?
At this moment, Hera felt that the confidence she had just built up in her intelligence was slowly collapsing again.
"If only my clone were a little more powerful, I could just kill them all and search slowly. Anyway, the only threat to me, the God Destroyer Squad, is already dead."
Suddenly, Hera had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something.
"Kill them all..."
"I've got it."
Hera, expressionless, punched her fist into the palm of her other hand, feigning sudden realization.
Then, as if he had a goal, he headed straight for the very center of the governor's residence.
...
"Hang in there, the bleeding will stop soon!"
"Ouch...it hurts so much..."
The corridor at the main entrance of the headquarters.
The man was using torn fabric to help stop the bleeding of these seriously injured people, so that they would not die from excessive blood loss in a short time.
Those controlled by Hera had already been knocked unconscious by him and were lying not far from him.
"Noah, what are you doing!"
Just as the man finished bandaging the wound, a woman dressed in black emerged from the shadows like a ghost, looking anxiously at the man.
"And what's going on? Who are the intruders? Where are they now?!"
Before Noah could answer, the woman asked again anxiously.
"She is an anomaly! Based on her appearance and abilities, she is very likely one of the Five Calamities, namely, Life."
The man continued working, his face grave as he spoke to the woman in black.
"[Five Calamities]...[Life]?"
The woman in black repeated these words in a daze, as if her hope for life had been suddenly taken away.
"Then... are we all going to die? It's estimated that one of the Five Calamities is equivalent to three to four humans at their peak combat strength..."
"No!" The man shook his head resolutely. "That [life form] is a bit abnormal. It may not be able to unleash its full power for some reason. Otherwise, no matter what its purpose is, I would be dead long ago!"
The woman in black then seemed to wake up from a dream and realized what was happening.
"That's true, then I'll go after them right now!"
After saying that, she prepared to set off to chase after Heracles, but Noah stopped her.
"Wait a minute, your strength is too weak. You take charge for now. I'll go chase after the wounded... and I also need to check on Elifa."
"Huh? What time is it? You still have the leisure to look at someone who has already been sentenced to death?"
The woman in black looked at Noah with surprise, while Noah looked solemn.
"No, I just have a feeling that this invasion of us by [Life] is very likely related to Elifa."
"Well... alright, go ahead and go!"
The woman in black snatched the cloth from Noah's hand and quickly and roughly bandaged the wounds of the others.
Noah glanced at it with some reluctance, then gritted his teeth and vanished on the spot in a whirlwind.
He was very fast, maintaining an extremely fast pace even in the narrow, intricate corridors.
With his familiarity with the terrain, Noah arrived at the room where Elifa was being held captive in just a few minutes.
Before he could even reach for his key, with a flick of his finger, a blade of wind shattered the lock, and Noah immediately pushed the door open and entered.
In the dimly lit room, a frail body huddled in the blankets, shivering.
Upon hearing the sound of the door being broken down, the body wrapped in the blanket trembled even more, and the person involuntarily took a step back.
"Elifa, it's me! Noah, I've come to save you."
Noah comforted Elifa, who was curled up in bed, in the gentlest of words.
Hearing his voice, the woman, wrapped tightly in the blankets, cautiously peeked out with half her head.
Upon seeing that the person who had come was indeed Noah, his frightened eyes were immediately filled with tears.
She threw off the blanket and rushed towards Noah like the wind.
Crystal-clear tears fell as the girl ran, scattering in the air and turning into streaks of starlight.
Noah smiled gently and slowly opened his arms to welcome the other person, "I will protect you..."
But just then...
Pfft!
A silent bullet shot out from the shadows, drawing a silver line through the air before piercing the girl's head.
The girl's eyes, filled with emotion and tears, suddenly became unfocused, and her running steps faltered, causing her to collapse.
Its short body fell to the ground with a thud, and even slid forward half a meter due to inertia, leaving a scarlet arc.
