Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 465 Mission: 01-6 The Heartless God
The next second, Nero vanished from his spot.

The attack, which also reached near-light speed, instantly brought her to Mondes's side.

But no matter how strong a physical attack is, it can't truly defeat Mondes. So the real damage from this attack depends on the weapon in her hand. As Nero swung her sword, a long, narrow crack seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, stretching across the space like a slender needle piercing through Mondes's sphere-like body.

"...!!!"

The long, indistinguishable cry nearly tore Nero's eardrums apart. Nero was instantly engulfed by Mondes, as countless invisible eyes, submerged in radiance, along with bizarrely twisted transparent tentacles, emerged from within the sphere of light, carrying fire, rain, wind, and thunder as they lunged at Nero.

"Can't even speak properly anymore? How pathetic."

With a smile that was half mocking and half pitying, Nero raised his blade high and took a deep breath.

The praises were sung.

"Oh, Sun!"

Nero acted once again, tossing her bright silver hair and summoning her demon clones wielding different weapons to surround her, unleashing a sky full of bright sword light.

"Our savior is an existence beyond all creation!"

The song seemed to have enraged Mondes once again. Of course, this was because it was a hymn dedicated to the demon sword Sparta.

Mondes roared, and the seemingly indistinguishable, layered cacophony of sounds somehow coalesced into a single, unified cry of rage and revulsion—

The Mondes said, "Submit to the true God!"

Nero could only sigh upon hearing this; she had no desire to laugh at all. It was so boring, so incredibly boring. The villain was the epitome of stereotyping, utterly devoid of any redeeming qualities in his character design. She had heard countless similar empty threats like "I am the true god" and "You must all obey me."

Then, they'll quickly turn around and start saying things like, "How is that possible?" or "How can you be stronger than me?" This is followed by shameless swear words like, "I don't believe it," or "I don't want to die."

I mean, can't you villains who want to rule the world come up with something a little more original? In the end, this Mondes... isn't he just a bigger version of Pope Sandox?

After muttering that thought to himself, Nero suddenly felt a surge of pride.

She played a villain very well in the Little Garden before—I suggest others can learn from her.

Villains like Mondes, who turn into a clown the moment they're defeated, should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago!

—This was Nero's idea.

But Mondes hasn't turned into the Joker yet; he's probably still quite imposing at this moment. Just like before, lightning, storms, flames, frost, aurora, black holes—all sorts of energies powerful enough to engulf the entire world—were woven into a vast net that surrounded Nero, layer upon layer, impenetrable.

However, if something is numerous but lacks refinement, it's useless no matter how much you have!
"You give us sunshine and kindness. You are the source of hope for mankind!"

Nero sang the second line of her hymn, transforming into a streak of light and leading her seven clones into the unbreakable net. She charged forward, wielding her sword, the blade tearing through space and time, relentlessly eroding Mondes's attacks and gradually breaking through. Nero even wondered—who was Mondes underestimating with all these attacks?

Lightning, fire rain, aurora... and so on... Nero dared to take them all head-on. With Nero's physical strength and recovery speed, he could just tough it out and only suffer minor injuries.

Is this a trick?

She didn't think it was entirely impossible. Although the loss of the Holy Grail Chain caused a large number of Mondes to break away from the Unified Body, significantly weakening the Mondes Unified Body's strength, the terrifying lightning bolts unleashed under their combined power could still penetrate Nero's defenses, causing injuries that would leave him unable to recover. A fully charged laser beam could even instantly kill Dante and the others. It really didn't make sense for this guy to suddenly become so weak.

Sure enough, after Nero had broken through to a certain distance, the intensity of his attack suddenly increased dramatically. At the same time, an ominous feeling of being "locked on" crept up Nero's spine.

A massive black hole suddenly appeared beneath Nero's feet, pulling her to a halt. At that very moment, a bright beam of light shone above her head.

This was a repeat of the same old trick. Mondes wanted to use this long-prepared, charged laser beam to completely destroy Nero.

Can he do it?
"All the virtues in this world are embodied in you!"

Clearly, it was impossible. Nero lightly swung his sword, severing time and freezing the entire world in that instant. Nero then sheathed his sword and began to ponder how to deal with Mondes's offensive…

A crisp cracking sound rang out in this stagnant world that should have been completely silent. Mondes's immense magical power pressed down on the entire world, weakening Nero's influence as well. The pure white pillar of light ripped through space and compressed time, maintaining an extremely high speed even in the stagnant world, constantly accelerating as it fell towards Nero.

interesting.

Nero's gleaming eyes clearly conveyed those two words. Now she had to fight her way out from under this laser beam. A direct confrontation was unlikely due to the vast difference in their magical power, so she chose the easier method without much psychological burden.

She didn't choose to use the World Rift to block the attack as before, but if Mondes really figured out a way to break it, things would get complicated.

"All the virtues in this world are embodied in you!"

Nero sang loudly, her entire being surrounded by countless blades of light transformed from her clones, charging forward like a shimmering vortex. She extinguished flames, pierced through lightning, and shattered frost, carving a short, bloody path through their dense encirclement.

"Kneel before the King of the World!"

Mondes was still spouting that shameful nonsense. Nero smashed through all obstacles in his path, transforming into a storm of flashing blades, carving a straight path forward and breaking out of the encirclement.

Then it was time to retaliate. Nero looked up at the void of chaotic core within the Mondes Unified Body, letting the blades swirling around him explode in all directions. The expanding storm of blades tore everything in its path, followed by a bright slash that illuminated the chaotic heart with a heaven-piercing sharpness.

"I beg you! Lift up my eyes and let them bathe in your supreme light!"

Nero sang.
