But just as it was about to charge into the carriage and drag Victor out, Professor Medea, who had stood motionless at the side all along, revealed a faint smile amid this desperate situation.
"Libra, balance!"
The scale in the Child of the Constellations's left hand shattered completely. In that instant, the intact scale in its right hand abruptly became covered in dense cracks without warning, while the shattered left-hand scale reassembled, returning to a cracked state.
At that moment, the two scales achieved a new balance.
The "fates" of both sides returned to the same mark.
The Child of the Constellations rammed headfirst into Aleister Eldritch, who did not even think to resist.
Yet in the instant they collided, both the Child of the Constellations and Aleister Eldritch were sent flying backward.
The Child of the Constellations's entire body shattered from the recoil of the impact. But at the brink of death, the white light emitted by the "Libra" symbol on its forehead enveloped its entire body, and the cracks across it visibly began to heal.
Aleister Eldritch's face revealed incomprehensible shock, and terrifying cracks likewise appeared across its body.
The cracks ran deep into its bones, nearly tearing it into pieces on the spot.
But its terrifying regenerative ability took effect. Every fragment of flesh and bone stitched itself back together as it flew backward, and even the wounds on its skin vanished.
However, Aleister Eldritch could not stop its retreat no matter what. Its back slammed violently into the inner wall of Sun God's Protection!
"Sizzle—"
First, its two demonic wings were melted away by the Sun God's flames. Then came the skin on its back, followed by the muscles, blood vessels, and bones beneath it...
Aleister Eldritch desperately curled its body and thrust its head forward.
