The towering skyscraper, like a giant detonator, exploded in the very center of the city.
The entire city resembled the surface of water struck by a giant rock, creating surging ripples.
Buildings near the tower were completely leveled by the powerful shockwave.
Even on the outskirts of the city, you can still feel the power that seems capable of overturning a car and the deafening sound.
At the site of the explosion in the city center, it resembled a ruptured body of water, with thick smog and building debris shooting straight into the sky.
It slammed heavily onto the ground again, raising another cloud of dust.
The aftershocks of the explosion lasted for more than ten seconds before completely subsiding.
A small, dust-covered hand emerged from the uneven ruins of the giant crater.
With a push, the small hand braced itself against the wreckage, and a scarlet figure was dug out from inside.
The building that had been pressing down on her slid off as she slowly stood up, landing on the ground with scattered clattering sounds.
At this moment, large areas of Hela's skin had been blown apart.
Bright red muscle and bone were exposed to the air, and granulation tissue could be seen struggling within them.
"This human... this human actually went so far as to self-destruct in an attempt to kill me!"
Hela's skin regenerated rapidly; she truly hadn't expected that this human, who possessed no fighting ability whatsoever, could achieve such a feat.
Such terrifying explosive power was enough to injure her even in her current state.
This reminded Hela of her previous experience of almost being blown to death.
Looking around, I discovered a cube made of pixelated skeletons in a misty ruin.
A skeleton slowly disappeared, revealing a terrified Aidan and Yuliu hiding inside.
Seeing that the two were alright, Hela prepared to go over.
Just then, a speck of azure dust appeared before my eyes, slowly drifting downwards.
Slowly looking up, I realized that the azure dust had already covered the entire sky, falling like snowflakes.
"Special dust in the bomb?"
"What's the use?"
As the dust was about to settle, Hela suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly looked up.
Seeing that Aidan was about to lower his defenses, he shouted loudly for the first time.
"Continue the defense!"
Hela's voice was very loud, as if she had a loudspeaker inside her body, so that Aidan could hear it Yiqing.
Aidan instantly realized the danger wasn't over, and the pixelated skeleton she had put down rose up again.
It happened the instant the defense was completed.
A tiny speck of dust drifted slowly through the air and came into contact with the metal debris on the ground.
bake--!!!
A raging blue flame, seemingly erupting from a rift connecting to hell, engulfed everything around it.
The intense heat even caused metal to ignite, making the surging firepower even more ferocious!
If viewed from a distance at this moment, the entire enormous cavity looks like a thruster installed on Earth.
It kept spewing flames, and even the surrounding air began to distort.
The fire, which resembled a natural disaster, finally subsided only after all the dust had settled, all the metal had burned away, and there was no more flammable material left.
The once jagged, pitted crater is now completely empty.
Stones turned to ash, metals became fuel, and even oxygen was almost gone, creating an absolute space where Life was disregarded.
In this desolate place, there exists a shield made of constantly flashing pixelated skeletons, and two extremely disheveled and charred humanoid creatures.
At this moment, Hela's body was still burning with flickering flames. Her broken body and charred surface made it impossible to see her former beauty, and she even looked a little terrifying.
His entire right leg had been reduced to powder due to the high temperature, forcing him to kneel on the ground and support himself with his hands.
The facial bones were clearly visible, and one eyeball had been charred.
His hair and clothes were completely burned, and his charred muscles and even internal organs were clearly visible.
The body began to wriggle, and pieces of necrotic tissue shed off, followed by the growth of new flesh.
Even Hela in her current state, after being burned by this temperature of several thousand degrees, will need a short while to recover.
"Does this human really want to kill me?!"
Hela was certain that if it were herself five years ago, she would have been burned to ashes and scattered across the earth.
Unfortunately...
At this level, it's not enough to kill Hela.
Her severed right leg slowly regenerated, and Hela struggled to her feet. She glanced at her other clone, who had been blasted hundreds of meters away.
Perhaps because there wasn't as much explosives upstairs as in the basement, the other Hela was clearly not as disheveled as the Hela in the basement.
Although his skin was burned all over his body, there were no other visible injuries.
The two Hela, separated by a hundred meters, locked eyes, and finally simultaneously began to walk towards each other.
Sensing the energy within their bodies, the physical energy of the two Hela was roughly equivalent to the ' Ten Thousand Stars ' level of a human.
His true strength is roughly at the peak of the ' Immortal ' level, which is slightly weaker than the Human Limit combat power.
Suddenly, Hela No. 1, the most severely injured creature in the basement, turned its remaining eye.
A straight blade covered in black runes slashed through the dark mist and thrust towards Hela No. 1.
Hela quickly raised her right hand, which had mostly recovered, to defend herself.
There was a loud "plop!" sound.
The straight blade pierced Hela's palm and held her firmly in place.
But then the black runes flickered slightly, and the entire knife seemed to gain consciousness, suddenly sliding downwards.
The entire arm was sliced in two, bone and flesh intact.
With his other hand, he swiftly grabbed the straight knife and held it firmly in his hand.
However, the next second, countless building ruins, also covered in black runes, surged forward like arrows slamming into a siege.
Meanwhile, a blazing flame burned in the smog, like a dazzling sun.
A young man with crimson hair stood atop the wreckage, his straight sword spitting out flames several meters high.
"Die, Variant!!!"
The man, shirtless and covered in black runes, gripped a crane frame also covered in runes and charged madly toward Hela.
The red-haired boy was also wielding his straight sword, slashing at another Hela No. 2.
In an instant, both Hela were enveloped by a terrifying attack.
The flickering bone pixels finally dissipated, and Aidan, soaked in sweat, suddenly knelt down, panting heavily.
The flames just now were terrifying; he almost couldn't defend against them.
Hela is in danger!
Standing next to him, Yuliu whispered, pulling out his pistol and aiming it at the red-haired boy who was about to slash at Hela.
Aidan was stunned when she saw everything around her.
who are they?
The group's subordinates?
No, it's more like the Night Star, were they attracted by the explosion?
Numerous questions arose in his mind, but he had no time to think about them. Immediately, several Gaster Blaster appeared around him, aimed at another man covered in runes, preparing to help Hela.
"Don't move!"
"Please stop..."
"Try moving again!"
"..."
Four men and women quietly appeared beside Aidan and Yuliu, pointing their weapons at them.
They appeared out of nowhere, catching Aidan completely off guard.
Just then, the two attacks aimed at Hela landed.
Thump--!!!
