In Aidan's trembling eyes, the blade of flames that surged forth slashed toward Hela with unstoppable force!
But the red-haired boy's eyes widened in disbelief.
His full-force strike failed to cleave Hela in two.
The burning blade remained firmly lodged inside Hela's body, unable to budge an inch.
Beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, wetting his bright red hair.
When his eyes met Hela's Mingming, peach-colored eyes, a sense of impending doom washed over him, surging through every cell of his body.
Without further hesitation, he immediately released his grip on the knife and dodged twice to create distance between himself and Hela.
The flames on the blade continued to burn the wound, but Hela calmly reached out, grasped the hilt, and pulled the straight sword embedded in her body.
The red-haired boy's heart pounded violently; the overwhelming sense of oppression and crisis made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"Captain! Let's retreat first..."
He turned his head toward the man attacking another Hela, his pupils suddenly contracting.
The man covered in runes was no longer there; only Hela, almost fully recovered, was holding the last half of the head and gnawing on it.
The other four Night Star, who were pointing at Aidan and Yuliu, were also taken aback.
In their eyes, it took less than three seconds from when their captain charged forward to when he was ripped in two by Hela's tentacle. Everything happened so suddenly!
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through the air reached the red-haired boy's ears, pulling him back to reality.
The straight sword that originally belonged to him was hurled at him by Hela like a javelin, stained with some flesh and blood, and pierced him like an arrow.
The red-haired boy was greatly shocked and used all his strength to turn his body to the side.
Just as the blade was about to graz his shoulder and miss, the flesh clinging to it suddenly burst forth.
Several steel spikes burst forth, easily piercing the boy's skin and bones and penetrating deep into his internal organs, freezing his shocked expression and movements in that instant.
"Quickly... notify the [Godslaying] Squad!!!"
With his last ounce of strength, he roared at the rest of his teammates, only to have his head smashed by a punch from Hela as she charged at him.
"No!!!"
One of the Night Star screamed, and the others simultaneously showed expressions of shock and fear on their faces.
However, an older-looking Night Star overheard the red-haired boy's last words before his death.
He pulled out his emergency notification device from his pocket, ready to press it.
Just as his finger was about to touch the button, a strange, cold light flashed across his arm.
A pixel-based slit immediately appeared where the arm had been slashed, and it fell to the ground, dissipating into pixels in mid-air.
Aidan gripped the knife tightly, and after severing the opponent's arm, she swiftly turned the blade, leaving a trail of pixelated cold light, and thrust it towards his head.
The dagger plunged into his forehead, and pixels began to spread rapidly from the dagger's point of origin. The elderly Night Star's consciousness also began to dissipate.
The last thing he saw before he died was Aidan's apologetic face.
Bang--!
Bang--!
Bang--!
Yuliu gripped the gun with one hand, and as he pulled the trigger, three meteor-like bullets struck the other three Night Star, completely obscuring their bodies.
After the smoke from the bullets cleared, Yuliu was surprised to find that one person had survived his gunshot.
It was a gray-haired girl with pigtails, kneeling on the ground with a bloody hole that took up a third of her body. The hole regenerated rapidly, as if time had reversed, and she was completely restored in a second.
Yuliu an eyebrow, "[ Eternal Regeneration ]?" Then he sneered, "But with your strength, killing you would only take a few more moves."
As he spoke, he cocked his pistol, preparing to shoot the terrified twin-tailed girl again.
"Wait a moment!"
Aidan suddenly stepped forward and pressed down on the pre-positioned muzzle of the gun.
"Just... spare her life. She's no longer a threat to us."
Aidan glanced with pity at the twin-tailed girl whose clothes were torn and who was too frightened to move.
Yuliu looked at Aidan with a surprised expression, and after a moment of silence, lowered the gun.
At this moment, Hela had already swallowed both of the attackers into her body.
Both of them are at the ' Starlight Radiance' level, and are extremely strong, so it's no wonder they are part of the capital city's squad.
Unfortunately, they ran into Hela.
The two Hela came together, reached out their hands to grasp each other, and then merged like two puddles of mud, eventually becoming one person.
He clenched his fist and sensed the energy within his body.
Yes, that's good. The two takeout meals delivered on time have made up for all the energy lost in the explosion and flames.
Hela couldn't help but admire Liu Ruqing's determination and wisdom once again.
He took so many precautions to kill himself.
First, he hired the strongest mercenaries, then he planted bombs throughout the building to blow himself up, and even notified Night Star in advance to kill himself after the explosion.
Unfortunately, no matter how meticulous her plan was, it was all in vain in the face of absolute power.
Hela glanced at the desolate surroundings and walked towards Aidan and the others.
"Boss, are you alright?"
As soon as he walked over, Aidan rushed forward to check on him.
Hela shook her head slightly, then her gaze was drawn to the twin-tailed girl kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Aidan hurriedly explained, "Well, she didn't die because she has a regenerative ability... and I think she's no longer a threat, so I wanted to let her go..."
Aidan's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
Hela became immediately interested when she heard that the other party possessed the ability to regenerate.
If it can regenerate indefinitely, does that mean it can eat indefinitely?!
The twin-tailed girl, surrounded by the three men, was so frightened that she dared not move, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
"Ugh... What are you doing! What are you doing!!!"
Just as Hela was about to kidnap the girl and use her as food, a loudspeaker nearby suddenly broadcast [X]'s anxious shout.
"Why did you make such a big commotion! You even lured the [Ground] here beforehand!!!"
"What?!"
"Ah?"
Yuliu exclaimed in surprise, her nerves, which had finally relaxed, tensed up again.
"It's too late to run! I've already immediately notified the other members of the Light God Society!"
"We expect to arrive in an hour, but some people may arrive a dozen minutes earlier!"
" The Light God Society?!"
Upon hearing about the Light God Society, Aidan was initially startled, then her expression quickly turned strange.
"About how much longer until [Ground] arrives!"
Looking at himself, who was completely out of ammunition and supplies, Yuliu calmed his wildly beating heart and asked.
"Almost there! About ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds..."
