Noah stared in disbelief at what was happening before him, his hands still outstretched, his eyes wide with disbelief.
His head stiffly turned downwards.
The girl's body lay quietly in front of him, no more than two meters away.
Crimson blood gushed continuously from the large hole in her head, quickly forming a large pool of blood beneath the girl.
The blood continued to spread, even reaching Noah's feet and staining his shoes red.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and his mind was more active than ever before.
Why……
Isn't Elifa's power "Eternal Regeneration"? Why haven't her wounds healed yet?
And... who was the person who fired the shot? Why did they want to kill her?
Da...da...da...
A sound like a cane hitting the ground came from the shadow of the bullet.
An elderly man with white hair and a full beard slowly emerged from the shadows, leaning on a cane.
Half of his face was still hidden in shadow, making him look like a demon.
In his other hand, he was holding a pistol that was emitting white smoke.
When Noah turned and saw the old man, his pupils contracted sharply, and then he trembled violently.
His face was filled with disbelief, and he spoke with great difficulty in an extremely trembling voice.
"Commander Qiao...why..."
The old man didn't answer him, but instead continued to walk over to Elifa's side, poking her head with his cane.
Seeing that he had completely lost his vital signs, the corners of his wrinkled and cracked mouth slowly curled up, and he looked at the pistol in his hand with great satisfaction.
"Not bad, as expected of the weapon I've collected for most of my life, it can indeed temporarily disable the abilities of superhumans."
Admiring the pistol, which bears the marks of time and resembles one from the Republican era, the old man's face was filled with affection.
"Answer me... Commander Qiao, why did you kill her?!"
Noah excitedly took two steps to Commander Joe, grabbed him by the collar, and roared angrily.
Commander Qiao gave him a cold glance and slapped the hand that was grabbing his collar away.
"Then why did you come here..."
Noah paused, then said, "Of course we must protect her!"
"Why are you only thinking about protecting her?"
Commander Joe's eyes were fixed intently on Noah, as if they could see right through him.
"because……"
"Because you also know that the other party is very likely coming for Aleph."
Before Noah could answer, Commander Joe gave his reply with a cold face.
"Then why did you kill her?!"
"Heh." Commander Qiao chuckled coldly, "Because... the best way to shut someone up is to make them dead!"
Noah's eyes widened and he froze on the spot, motionless like a statue.
Commander Qiao holstered his pistol, patted the other man on the shoulder, and walked out the door.
"I also sent people to destroy the files that recorded that incident. Now we need to find a way to attack [Life] from different directions immediately."
After saying that, Commander Qiao slowly walked out of the open door, leaving Noah still dumbfounded in the room.
...
Snap—Snap—
Hera, like a young girl, strode with long steps to the door of the Commander-in-Chief's office.
There was a loud "bang!"
Hera easily pushed open the tightly locked door, slamming it hard against the wall.
"Why is there no one here?"
Hera scanned the entire office, only to find the spacious room completely empty.
Hera slowly walked to the commander's desk, placed her hands on it, and with a sudden effort, jumped onto the desk and sat down.
At first, she sat quite properly, but after a while, Hera seemed to remember something, and immediately crossed her legs and put her arms in front of her chest, looking every bit like a boss.
Hera sat there calmly, doing nothing, letting time pass by.
Suddenly, Hera seemed to notice something and quickly turned around.
Behind her, a silent bullet had already reached Hera.
Hera had no time to dodge and immediately raised her left hand to defend herself. As the sound of flesh exploding rang in her ears, Hera's raised left hand was easily broken off and fell to the side like a lizard's severed tail, even struggling a couple of times.
The flesh at the severed arm slowly writhed, trying to grow a new hand.
But the next moment, Hera was shocked to find that she could not regenerate her left hand.
His gaze quickly turned to the direction from which the bullet had come.
There, an old man stood outside the window, pointing a gun at Hera through the glass, wisps of white smoke rising from the muzzle.
Before the other party could make a move, Hera suddenly jumped up from her desk.
Right below where she had just jumped, another bullet was fired, hitting Hera squarely where she had been standing.
The luxurious wooden desk was smashed to pieces in an instant.
That pistol seemed to have the ability to suppress regeneration, which is why it couldn't continue regenerating.
While dodging the attacks, Hera quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.
However, if the Earth could forcibly suppress Ekalen's annihilation attack with its own power, Hera, who is also one of the Five Calamities, could certainly do the same.
She looked at her severed arm, then at the old man who was still pointing a gun at her, and did not choose to use her primal power to heal her wound.
Click—
The old man broke the glass twice with his cane and struggled to climb in through the window.
His appearance was so striking that, if no one had told him, he would never have guessed that this guy was the highest administrator of the Night Stars of Atan Kingdom.
