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

"Brother [Autumn]!"

"Stop!"

[Spring] and [Winter] launched a swift attack on Hela 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 Hela from the seams.

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

Hela could already sense his Life draining away; this time, he was doomed!

At the point where [Autumn]'s chest was torn open, 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 stood a man in a suit who looked somewhat awkward.

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

Looking at the photograph, [Autumn]'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 Hela.

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

Hela swiftly pulled out the metal spikes, instantly blocking the scythe's attack. The metal spikes grew barbs that firmly wedged the scythe in place.

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

But [Autumn] seemed to have lost consciousness; the hand wrapped in black insects grabbed Hela's head, and the scythe stabbed down fiercely.

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

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

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

[Spring] hurriedly flew over and hugged [Autumn] tightly, while nervously looking around.

" [Autumn] Brother, hold on, I'll find you a body right away..."

"Unnecessary..."

[Autumn] struggled to stand up, "I must hurry... and get [Life]..."

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

"Fool!" [Winter] cursed, "Forcing your body to rely on your Source energy like this will cause irreversible damage to your Source! Even if you obtain [Life], your strength will be far less than before!"

But [Autumn] paid no heed, swinging her scythe at Hela.

"It doesn't matter!! As long as I can become the way she likes me again! I don't care what happens!"

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

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

Having said that, he launched his attack.

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

This is the Power of the Source...

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

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

Hela's newfound energy was more concentrated than ever before, and she was confident she could easily annihilate and devour the three figures before her.

As soon as [Autumn] arrived in front of Hela, a large hand covered in metal grabbed her 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.

Hela immediately used [Autumn] as a shield.

[Winter]'s eyes flashed with conflict, but the Ice Demon 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 shot down and fell into the sea next to it.

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

[Autumn] raised his scythe, intending to sever Hela's arm that was holding him, but he only managed to insert the scythe halfway in without cutting it off.

A crimson maw flashed before his eyes, and the hand gripping the scythe instantly went numb.

Hela swallowed, somewhat surprised to feel 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 her lifespan. Although the power she unleashes is slightly stronger than before, the consumption is also enormous.

Hela tossed it aside and glanced up at Aidan.

Aidan and Hela looked at each other, then rushed into the sea and pressed [Summer] firmly into the Ocean.

The seawater was boiling, emitting bursts of steam.

Hela opened her mouth, and her abdomen shot out blood rapidly like a high-pressure gun, aiming to take [Spring] 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 provided temporary protection before shattering.

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

[Winter] tenderly distanced herself from [Spring], "Quickly heal yourself!"

[Spring] nodded slightly, applied warm light to her wound, and the wound 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 Hela 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 rushing towards the two women.

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

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

Click!

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

A mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and [Spring] 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 Power of the Source.

Hela, 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 Hela's back.

[Summer] gripped the fiery eye in his palm and swung it down at Hela with a ferocious expression.

Behind him was Aidan, rushing towards him with all his might.
