Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

That loyalty, however, was not directed towards her, her mother.

"Why……"

A hoarse, incredulous syllable struggled to escape from Ariana's bright red lips.

In that very moment when she lost her composure.

A figure, exuding an aura of dominance and destruction, shot out from the darkness of the entrance like an arrow.

Su Hui made a move.

Even before Ariana's question had completely faded, he had already transformed into a streak of azure lightning that tore through the darkness.

A deep and cold azure flame suddenly ignited on the [Steel-Slaying, Soul-Devouring] longsword in his hand.

Those were flames powerful enough to annihilate a soul.

This sudden and shocking betrayal left Bayonetta and Merlin momentarily stunned.

Their pupils reflected the image of the three sisters ruthlessly thrusting their scythes, leaving their minds blank.

But a demigod is a demigod, and a battle-hardened witch is an artist of combat.

"Witch Time!"

Bayonetta cried out almost instinctively, her exhausted body squeezing out a sliver of magic once more.

The colors of the entire world faded instantly; the violent energy and swirling dust were all enveloped in a thick, grayish-white hue.

Only Su Hui's figure, burning with blue flames, remained completely unaffected.

"Star Power!"

Merlin's Eternal Staff shone brightly at its tip, and a dazzling starlight landed precisely on Su Hui, bestowing upon him a divine blessing of magic dispelling and speed enhancement.

In the frozen moment, Ariana watched helplessly as the figure, shrouded in deathly blue flames, charged toward her with unstoppable force.

The excruciating pain behind him, his daughter's betrayal, and the deadly threat before him all instantly transformed into overwhelming rage.

"Do not!!!"

A roar, inhuman and filled with endless rage and pain, exploded from the depths of her throat.

Ariana had no time to think, nor to draw the scythe from her back; her remaining instincts led her to make the right choice.

Amidst her furious roar, the dark purple dimensional energy around her erupted like a volcanic eruption, forming a viscous and chaotic torrent of black energy that frantically resisted the constraints of "Witch Time."

The huge wide-brimmed hat on Ariana's head was blown off by the violent airflow, and her elegant, black, fluffy updo came undone, cascading down like a black waterfall.

This made her face, which was contorted with anger and pain yet still breathtakingly beautiful, appear even paler.

Blood stained the pure white, low-cut dress, and beneath the tattered fabric, large patches of snow-white skin were exposed, creating a poignant and tragically beautiful scene of brokenness.

Su Hui's attack was already upon them.

Ariana's golden vertical pupils seemed to ignite, and countless black swarms of insects surged wildly from her body, attempting to block them.

At the same time, he spread his five fingers and crossed his pale bone claws in front of him to meet the blue blade light that could cleave the soul.

She had to withstand the blow.

But even so.

Faced with Su Hui's all-out attack, which contained the power of [Soul Severing], everything seemed so futile.

The azure blade easily tore through the black energy surge.

The swarm of insects, powerful enough to devour steel, was instantly vaporized before the Soul Fire, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

Finally, the blade and the bone claws collided with a deafening roar.

*Sizzle!*

There was no earth-shattering collision sound, only a teeth-grinding cutting sound.

Ariana's prized bone claws, capable of tearing through steel, were as fragile as rotten wood under the sharpness of [Steel Slash: Soul Eater], snapping instantly.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly, then shattered with a crash.

The longsword, undeterred by its momentum, slashed fiercely at Ariana's shoulder with unstoppable force.

puff!

A deep, bone-revealing wound stretched from her shoulder to her chest, gushing blood like a fountain, splattering everywhere. This blow nearly crippled Ariana.

But that's not the worst part.

What was truly deadly was the deep blue flame that clung to her like a leech, seeping into her body through the wound.

That's an attack that directly targets the soul.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Ariana let out a scream ten times more painful than before.

It was a terrifying, indescribable pain that came from the depths of one's soul, as if one's entire soul had been forcibly torn open.

Her massive body could no longer maintain its balance, and she staggered backward, her golden pupils flashing wildly, almost scattering.

escape!

We must escape!

Ariana had only one thought left in her mind.

Countless swarms of insects surged out from behind her again, frantically attacking Su Hui, trying to buy her even a second of time.

Her true form suddenly transformed into a twisted shadow, rushing headlong into the slowly rotating spatial rift deep within the hall, emitting a purple glow.

That was her last resort.

As long as she can enter the rift, abandon the possibility of growing up in this world, and escape directly into the turbulent currents of dimensional space, she will still have the chance to escape to an unknown parallel world and survive.

But how could Su Hui give her that chance?

Faced with the overwhelming swarm of insects used to cover their retreat, Su Hui didn't even swing his longsword again.

He simply stood there quietly and calmly raised his left hand.

Talent [Power Control], activated.

An invisible, supreme will descended, instantly enveloping the entire space.

Those ferocious and bloodthirsty swarms of insects seemed to have encountered an irresistible monarch in their life cycle, instantly freezing in mid-air before turning into the most insignificant dust and vanishing into nothingness.

The figure that had just disappeared into the shadows, attempting to escape, was also gripped tightly by this force, forcibly pulled out of the illusion, and solidified again.

"Do not……"

For the first time, true despair appeared in Ariana's eyes.

An invisible force, like the hand of a god, slammed Ariana's towering body down from mid-air. The raging dimensional energy around her was also suppressed by a higher power, making it impossible to mobilize even a fraction of it.

at the same time,

Su Hui had a thought.

Bella, Cassandra, and Daniela, who had been standing nearby, all moved at the same time.

The three sisters stepped forward, and under Ariana's complex gaze filled with pain, anger, confusion, and despair, they reached out and gripped her arms and shoulders tightly.

Then, it pressed down heavily.

boom!

A muffled thud.

This nearly three-meter-tall noblewoman, who once looked down on all living beings as ants, was brutally forced to the ground by her own daughters and humiliatingly knelt before Su Hui.

Dead silence.

In this singularity ruined building, only dust floats slowly in the stagnant air.

Su Hui stepped forward slowly, the only sound being the soft thud of his black combat boots on the gravel.

He stopped in front of the kneeling noblewoman, looking down at Ariana.

Even kneeling in humiliation, Ariana's nearly three-meter-tall body still appeared enormous, exuding an astonishing presence.

She is hurt.

That pure white, low-cut dress was now tattered and stained with blood and dust.

The deep blue knife marks and three gruesome wounds on her back exposed large swaths of her fair and delicate skin to the cold air, creating a poignant yet wretched sight.

Her elegant, voluminous black hair had long since come loose, like a messy black waterfall, covering half of her pale cheek, but unable to hide her golden vertical pupils that still burned with indifference and resentment.

She remained kneeling, staring coldly at Su Hui.

Because of her kneeling posture, her already daring low-cut dress was completely stretched open, and beneath the torn fabric, her magnificent, snow-white breasts, as large as volleyballs, heaved violently with her heavy breathing, as if they were about to break free of their restraints at any moment.

Su Hui's gaze could see how heavy and magnificent those amazing breasts were, and the bottomless cleavage was full of extreme visual impact and numerical beauty.

Su Hui had no doubt that if it were Ariana, his big guy wouldn't need to be upright; even if it were straight, it could be perfectly sandwiched and contained.

At this moment, the mature and beautiful woman's stubborn eyes, the crimson blood intertwined with the pure white fabric, and her stunning figure that was simply explosive under her tattered clothes, created a scene full of violence and tragic beauty, exuding an ultimate temptation that made people's blood boil.

"What a... ridiculous ending."

Ariana's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, her voice hoarse yet still carrying an air of arrogance.

"I can't believe I'm going to die... because of my own daughter's betrayal."

Her gaze was fixed on Su Hui, as if she wanted to etch the man's image into the depths of her soul.

However, the only response she received was from three familiar yet unfamiliar voices behind her.

"Mother, you won't die."

Bella's voice had lost its usual cruelty and mockery, leaving only an eerie calm.

"Don't worry, Mother. Master won't kill you."

"The master is a very gentle person."

Cassandra and Daniela followed suit, adding in unison.

Their eyes were filled with absolute trust when they looked at Su Hui.

gentle?

A fleeting sense of utter absurdity and confusion crossed Ariana's golden eyes.

She tried with all her might to turn her head to look at her three daughters, whose minds had been completely warped, but the excruciating pain in her body and the burning sensation in her soul rendered her unable to move.

In that instant, her mind was shaken and filled with endless confusion.

Su Hui didn't say anything more. With a thought, a faint light quietly swept past.

An invisible Seed of Loyalty, radiating supreme will, silently and instantly entered the depths of Ariana's soul.

Ariana's massive body trembled violently, and her golden vertical pupils widened to their maximum size in an instant.

An overwhelming, supreme, and irresistible will, originating from the deepest part of her soul, burst forth like a flood, shattering the last dam she had built with pride and anger.

Her consciousness was rebelling frantically.

As an immortal being born from the core of a singularity, how could her proud soul tolerate being branded with such a mark of enslavement?

His golden pupils flashed wildly, and a flurry of emotions—anger, resentment, bitterness, hatred—flew through them like a revolving lantern.

But all of this seemed so fragile in the face of that domineering and unparalleled will.

In the blink of an eye.

All the struggles and resistance vanished instantly, like ice and snow thrown into lava.

The light in Ariana's eyes dimmed completely.

next moment.

The light returned to her vacant pupils, but it no longer held any of the arrogance or haughtiness that had been there before.

Instead, there is an absolute, fervent submission and reverence that originates from the deepest part of the soul.

It is a humble feeling that arises only when facing gods or the Creator.

"Let her go."
