C City, commercial district.
Piercing alarms echoed through the city, and nearby citizens had long been evacuated.
On the ruined streets, a battle between heroes and Monsters was reaching a fever pitch.
"Attention, everyone! Eyelashes, create a diversion from the flank! Lily, lead your team to find its weakness! Mountain Ape, hold the front line!"
"Yes, Lady Hellish Blizzard!"
"Understood, Boss!"
"Lady Hellish Blizzard's front, I will protect it!"
Hellish Blizzard, dressed in a dark green hip-hugging skirt and black high heels, was incredibly eye-catching. Her mature and beautiful figure outlined breathtaking curves during the intense battle.
However, at this moment, her exquisite face, which always carried a queen-like composure, was filled with solemnity.
In front of her was a Monster initially classified as Tiger-level, yet it made her feel extremely troublesome—the Regenerative Carapace Monster!
This Monster was the size of a small mountain, resembling a mutated pangolin enlarged hundreds of times, covered entirely in thick, dark purple carapace, possessing astonishing physical defense.
The most troublesome thing was its extremely difficult super-regeneration ability; ordinary attacks were nothing more than a tickle to it.
"Lady Hellish Blizzard!"
The elite members of the Fubuki Group, Eyelashes and Mountain Ape, were covered in blood, their states disheveled.
They continued to fight solely by the willpower and adrenaline fueled by Hellish Blizzard's encouragement.
"No good! This guy's carapace is too hard; our attacks can't even break its defense!"
"And its regeneration speed is too fast! The wound that just exploded healed in the blink of an eye!"
"Boom—!"
The Regenerative Carapace Monster let out a roar, and its giant foreclaws, relatively short for its enormous body but still extremely thick for humans, swept across!
The gust of foul wind directly blasted two Fubuki Group members who failed to dodge, sending them crashing heavily into distant ruins, instantly knocking them unconscious.
"Damn it!"
Hellish Blizzard gritted her silver teeth, holding her hands flat, fingers spread wide, and the light blue Psychokinesis glowed brightly in her emerald green pupils.
"Hellish Storm!"
She pushed her hands forward abruptly, and the violent Psychokinesis churned up countless broken stones and debris, forming a Psychokinetic tornado with astonishing destructive power, fiercely striking the Regenerative Carapace Monster!
Bang, bang, bang, bang—!
Countless hard stones bombarded the carapace like cannonballs, emitting a series of dense metallic clashes, with sparks flying everywhere.
However, after the dust settled, that Monster still stood there unscathed, merely shaking its head impatiently.
"Tsk... Is my Psychokinesis still not strong enough...?"
Fine beads of fragrant sweat seeped from Hellish Blizzard's forehead, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.
She could feel that her Psychic powers seemed so powerless in the face of the opponent's absolute defense and regeneration.
This was her long-standing inner demon—the wall named "talent."
No matter how hard she tried, how she recruited subordinates, how she strategized, when facing truly powerful enemies, the upper limit of her own strength remained an insurmountable chasm.
Just like... the desperate chasm between her and her elder sister.
"Humans... are too weak... only fit to be my pre-meal snack!!"
The Regenerative Carapace Monster let out a dull and playful sound, its giant, lantern-like eyes locking onto Hellish Blizzard, who was the command core: "You, you're the leader, aren't you? I'll start by eating you!"
Before it finished speaking, its massive body charged forward with a speed completely inconsistent with its size!
A fishy stench of foul wind assailed her, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped Hellish Blizzard's heart.
It's over...
A hint of despair flashed in Hellish Blizzard's eyes. She had pushed her Psychokinesis to its limit, but could only barely construct a fragile barrier in front of her.
She knew that this barrier wouldn't last even a second.
Just at this critical moment.
A emerald green meteor, tearing through the sky, descended from above without any warning!
The speed of that stream of light was so extreme that even the sonic boom was left far behind.
It was like a sword of judgment from the realm of gods, carrying a terrifying pressure that made all things tremble, striking the top of the Regenerative Carapace Monster's head with pinpoint accuracy.
Boom—!!!!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely dull, squeezing sound.
In the terrified eyes of Hellish Blizzard and all the surviving Fubuki Group members, that Monster, which they considered indestructible, was like a tomato gently stomped by a giant's toe.
Starting from its head, the dark purple carapace instantly twisted, deformed, and shattered!
Its massive body was forcibly compressed, twisted, and re-compressed inward by an irresistible, terrifying force!
Finally, with a soft "squish."
That mountain-like Monster, along with its proud carapace and regeneration ability, was forcibly twisted into an irregular dark purple ball of flesh less than a meter in diameter.
Deader than dead.
Instant kill!!
Hellish Blizzard stared blankly at this scene, her mind a blank.
The emerald green light dissipated, and a petite figure floated in mid-air.
Her signature green wavy hair moved without wind, and her daringly cut black slit dress swayed in the breeze.
On that exquisite, doll-like small face, there was still that unchanging coldness and impatience.
Terrible Tornado!
Her older sister.
"Still as... unreasonably powerful as ever..."
Hellish Blizzard murmured to herself, the feeling that surged in her heart was not the relief of surviving a disaster, but a more complex bitterness, mixed with awe and powerlessness.
She was already prepared to receive her sister's familiar, cutting "lecture."
[Useless.]
[Can't even deal with this kind of small fry.]
[Is your hero game really that fun, bringing along a bunch of burdens?]
[Hellish Blizzard? That's hilarious, you don't even understand what true strength is!]
However, the expected storm did not arrive.
Tatsumaki merely descended slowly from the sky, her sharp emerald green eyes calmly sweeping over the messy battlefield, finally landing on Hellish Blizzard.
Her gaze was no longer that complex emotion of disappointment, mixed with irritability and helplessness.
Instead...
Hellish Blizzard was stunned.
She saw her sister's brows furrow slightly, as if... she was worried?
Then, Tatsumaki subconsciously opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but swallowed the words back, finally only squeezing out a single sentence from between her teeth—
"...Don't die, you idiot sister."
After speaking, she didn't even spare Hellish Blizzard another glance.
A suspicious blush quickly flashed across her small face, then she abruptly turned her head, transforming into a green meteor, and instantly vanished into the sky.
Leaving behind the petrified Fubuki Group members and Hellish Blizzard herself, who was utterly stunned.
"..."
"Just now... Miss Tatsumaki... did she blush?"
"I... I think I saw it too..."
"And she didn't even scold Lady Hellish Blizzard? Just told her not to die? This... this is unprecedented tenderness!"
Hellish Blizzard ignored the whispers of her subordinates behind her.
She just stood there blankly, her mind repeatedly replaying her sister's last look and that sentence, which still sounded impolite, but with a few fewer barbs in its tone.
—No, why would she blush like that!
Something's not right.
My sister, she's not right!
