The collapsing building crushed the people below.
Blood mist, along with rising dust, filled the air.
After a scream, the crowd scattered like a flock of startled sheep.
Hela looked at the fleeing crowd and raised her hand again, waving it gently.
The several blades on the back of his hand unleashed a crimson sword aura that easily cleaved through the crowd.
Then dozens of thin, long, sharp tentacles burst forth from Hela's back.
They seemed to be consciously separating and stabbing at the surrounding crowd.
The escapees were strung together one by one by tentacles, like people on a chopping board.
They were lifted behind Hela, forming a string of 'candied hawthorns'.
After absorbing the people strung on her tentacles, Hela's tentacles grew to hundreds of meters long as if they possessed their own Life, and began to hunt down the humans around them on their own.
Hela strolled leisurely across the ground, her hands constantly waving at the surrounding buildings, felling them.
The once bustling buildings around it were quickly reduced to ruins filled with cries of despair.
Hela unknowingly reached the top of the ruins, the tentacles behind her still relentlessly hunting and killing.
Hela slowly raised her head, quietly waiting for something.
Finally, after a moment, a red and black mechanical figure broke through the air and stopped above Hela.
Hela looked up at him, defiantly raised her hand, and unleashed several more sword strikes, killing the living people impaled on her tentacles.
The Battle Armor in the sky visibly trembled, whether from fear or anger, it was unclear.
[ The Battle Armor ] raised its arms towards Hela, its palms glowing white.
"High-energy cannon, fire..."
The dozens of tentacles behind Hela intertwined and merged into a single, thick tentacle.
It was directly aimed at the [ Armored Warrior ] who was still charging up.
[ Armored Warrior ] clearly did not expect Hela to attack directly; its tentacles, covered in sharp teeth, struck the metal surface without any resistance.
A burst of sparks flew, and the [ Armored Warrior ] was knocked down by the attack.
The high-energy cannon gathered in their hands was also released into the air.
Sizzle--!
Thick, dark red rays of light shot haphazardly through the air, cleaving several intact high-rise buildings in half.
Hela watched as the [ Armored Warrior ] crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
With a sudden burst of power from his legs, he sprinted to the spot where the [ Armored Warrior ] had fallen.
A pale fist clenched, and a punch landed squarely on the face of the [ Armored Warrior ] who was still lying on the ground.
"The facial armor sustained minor damage."
A system notification tone reached Kેવire's ears, quickly snapping him out of his daze.
The device on his chest, resembling an energy reactor, suddenly lit up.
A dark red energy blast shot out and exploded at point-blank range into Hela.
boom--!
The explosion engulfed the two people instantly.
A bloody, mangled object burst through the smoke and flew away.
[ Armored Warrior ] quickly stood up, used the thermal imaging device to lock onto Hela's position in the air through the smoke and dust, and raised his right hand.
A burst of energy blasted through the smoke and dust and shot towards Hela in the air.
Hela, in mid-air, quickly shifted her weight onto the tentacles on her back.
The tentacles swayed rhythmically, managing to dodge the energy blast that was about to hit them in mid-air.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Inside the Battle Armor, Kેવire nervously swallowed, seeing that his opponent could dodge his attack in mid-air.
Hela landed back on the ground, and the tentacles behind her, like strong limbs, gripped the ground and began to run.
Dozens of tentacles propelled Hela to an incredible speed, arriving before the [ Armored Warrior ] in the blink of an eye.
The pupils inside the [ Armored Warrior ] mech contracted rapidly, and it hurriedly spread its arms.
"Energy Shield!" A light blue energy shield enveloped it.
Bang!
Hela's fist still slammed down without hesitation.
With the sound of bones cracking, the [ Armored Warrior ] was knocked back, along with its slightly flickering shield.
It didn't stop until it crashed into a tall building behind it.
Hela raised her fractured arm, which immediately twisted back into place and healed itself.
Dozens of tentacles stabbed forward like pythons.
[ Armored Warrior ] dared not engage in a direct confrontation, and activated its thrusters to quickly retreat to one side.
Hela took a step and chased after her.
[ Mecha Warrior ] flew at low altitude, launching countless tiny missiles from behind towards Hela.
The missiles struck Hela, leaving numerous small and medium-sized gaps in her body.
Hela raised her hand to block her arm while chasing after the [ Armored Warrior ].
But how can two legs outrun someone flying with a propeller?
So slowly, Hela gradually transformed into a quadrupedal crawler, her entire body changing as she ran.
The [ Armored Warrior ], who was continuously launching missiles, began to break out in a cold sweat.
Because Hela's speed was increasing, and the distance between them was decreasing.
He gritted his teeth, decided to stop running, pause, and prepare to confront the enemy head-on.
As soon as he stopped, Hela's body transformed into a gaping maw capable of swallowing him whole.
"Energy Shield!"
[ Armored Warrior ] quickly envelops himself in an energy shield.
Hela swallowed it whole, along with its energy shield.
It transformed into an irregular, large sphere of flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood kept compressing, while sharp teeth and claws kept growing inside, polishing the energy shield within the body.
"Energy shield damaged, about to shut down!"
Hearing the notification sound that seemed to come from hell, [ Armored Warrior ] gritted his teeth, and his chest glowed white again.
boom--!
[ Armored Warrior ] suddenly exploded from inside Hela, blasting the Hela that was encasing him into countless fragments.
The [ Armored Warrior ] stood panting and looking disheveled.
The dark red Battle Armor was now covered in damage, and some of the lights on it began to flicker.
The fragments of Hela on the ground quickly gathered together and began to wriggle.
[ Armored Warrior ] raised his hand, ready to fire a finishing shot.
A loud boom!
But then, a large chunk of debris fell from a tall building that had already been cut in half.
Directly beneath the wreckage lay a group of trembling survivors.
The cannonball, originally intended to strike Hela, was instinctively redirected by the [ Armored Warrior ], shattering the wreckage and saving the people below.
"Hey, what am I doing?" [ Armored Warrior ] exclaimed in surprise.
A giant, crimson-red monster, resembling a centipede, had already appeared before him.
Hela used the metal spike at the front to pierce the [ Armored Warrior ]'s abdomen.
Then, before he could react, she used her long body to tightly entangle him.
Sharp limbs pierced the metal exterior, causing the [ Armored Warrior ]'s body to squeak.
Sparks also flew out at the same time.
If I persist like this for a couple more times, I can kill the other person.
Hela exerted even more force.
Fighting against [ Armored Warrior ] of the same level was much easier than I had imagined.
