Aurora sees her body split in two. The creature pulls her legs to its mouth, but with a click of its tongue, jets of air erupt from where bones would be, burning the creature's flesh, which cries like an agonized baby.
The legs snap back together. She crawls. The deformed creature sees her and lets out a scream, making its eardrums vibrate. She covers her ears, closes her eyes tightly, moaning.
Before the claws tear her "skin," bright lights erupt from the palm of her hand, cutting the monster in half. A pool of flesh forms, however, in seconds, the creature regenerates, becoming two. Its paws dig into the wall, racing towards Aurora.
Her feet mold into a rocket. With flight, she bounces between the walls. She tries to move, but fragments of ice inside her shoulder blades make her tremble from head to toe.
The defense systems make the body structure "sweat," expelling the fragments. The creatures stand before her, grinning, baring their teeth.
Aurora stretches her hands upward, mimicking the cry of a larger animal. But the walking flesh emits a grunt of contempt. They separate on either side of the body. Their mouths expand until they reach the ceiling. Aurora feels the icy saliva from their mouths slide under her clothes. In an abrupt movement, they swallow her and merge into one body.
He burps, his hand passing over his stomach. They walk down the corridor, but a bubbling in his stomach echoes. In an instant, flames erupt from his body, with Aurora clutching his entrails while shouting a curse at the creature's progenitor. The scandal echoes out of that place.
As he emerges amidst the puddles, he doesn't hesitate to unleash fire all over that flesh, which cries out loudly, multiplying and dividing into ever smaller creatures.
When the smoke clears, not a single cell of the being remains. Just an unconscious Aurora in the lifeless, reddish liquid.

In front of a mirror, Alice examines her outfit. Firm, nothing visible, only toned muscles. Equipment clinging to her waist and shoulders hidden by a golden coat.
She murmured in contemplation. She hadn't felt so strong in a long time.
Her pupils find the girl in her crib. She walked to her, held her, and pressed her against her chest. Her hand ran through Flowey's short hair.
She whispered about how much she would miss her. The desire to kiss her when she returned, and the questioning of her behavior.
But a mocking voice interrupted her.
Alice almost cursed her, the girl squirming against her chest. Morgana, with her hands in her pockets, scratched her calf with the tip of her shoe. She approached her, offering her arms, asking for permission. Alice nodded, demanding care.
Morgana held Flowey with equal gentleness. There was no exchange of words between them. Alice sat on the bed, Morgana beside her. The Prime Minister praised the girl's sweetness and added that Alice's husband was well-prepared.
As she placed her back on the bed, Morgana emphasized Alice's strength, recalling the events of NeonyRain, even considering the possibility that she too had been deceived by Skyler Fogue. But, even acknowledging this, she wished to train her for three days.
Alice looked away at the mention of her name. She thanked her for the opportunity and accepted, asking her husband's opinion. Morgana said that Vector had also accepted. Then, Morgana offered her hand...
Alice looked for a moment, the Renkata on the woman's fingers blinding her. She hesitated, but then took it.

Calling him pathetic, Satan awakens Faller, whose first action is to grab his wrists and twist them. The figure's smile widens, throwing him to the ground. Reminding him of human weakness, but also of his luck.
He kicks him into the air. He follows him. He beats him with all six arms. Smoke rises from every corner. Shaphira watches with dilated pupils. She tries to break free, her hair standing on end.
Krythos holds the Pillar by the legs, the Renkai Energy reconstructing part of the man's body. The energy flows in his veins, consequently making him vomit blood. Satan's feet press against his back, he pulls his hair, his face close to his. He reminds him that Zyrionq is the only reason the man, his wife, and all of humanity are alive.
A kick empties his lungs. Faller extends his hands, tries to launch electrical sparks, but he absorbs them with his chest.
Considering him a fool, he makes a cut in his abdomen with his hands. His fingers enter, slowly stirring. Faller screams, tears escaping as fluidly as a river.
However, a jet of water hit the Devil, separating his head from his body. But he rebuilt himself in the blink of an eye. Krythos turns his head and sees a woman lunging at him.
One hand grabs her by the neck. He places her beside her husband. He forces Faller to face his wife and asks Victoria how she escaped from where she was.
Victoria closes one eye and tries to breathe. Her blood-covered dress shifts against her body. Her only open eye widens at the state of her beloved.
Satan laughs loudly. He lifts them up, separates them, and prepares to close the space between their heads.
But Shaphira, in the distance, sees not two friends, but familiar figures. She lets out a roar. The sound crumbles walls, paralyzes Satan, releasing the couple. He tries to move, but the perfect body doesn't obey.
Hades and Mara instantly strike Shaphira with a single blow, but everything stops.
Satan kneels. He watches the chains stretch and, with a snap, fall to the ground.
A mouth covered in saliva is pressed against Satan's face. A punch pushes her away, not only her, but everyone present.
With a widening smile, he admits that, for the first time, he feels pride in his creation. The smile tears through his newly regenerated skin.
He appears in front of Shaphira. A staff conjures in his hand and, with a single touch, the Renkai Creature feels a wave of reddish energy engulfing her.
Skin tears. Bones break. The body deforms. The Pillars watch with teary eyes and the Destroyers observe, seated.
Teeth sharpen, clothes gone, only dark fur, soon to turn bluish and white.
Satan steps back, laughs louder than ever and declares her the perfect creation:
The Queen of Demons.
Turning to his children, he gave them no chance, piercing their heads with his hands, seeing no value in their lives anymore.
Liters of blood spill down their faces. Their chests split open in rows of teeth. Swallowing them in seconds.
One of his hands opens. A dark, purple flame erupts. He absorbs it. The golden eyes on the leaf gave the couple one last look, sentencing them to death: to be food for the queen.
Thus, with the door opening, he disappeared.
Faller and Victoria, lying side by side, watch the castle ceiling tremble, Shaphira's tear-filled eyes fixed on them.
One last roar, one last cry, the colossal fox destroys the castle. The scream that makes hell tremble.

In a forest far from all civilization, the Renkai Creatures under your command sense a distorted request in their minds. A humanoid looks at the cloudy sky with ears perked up.
He translates the order.
Exterminate the entire human race.
