Veronica and Ervas saw what happened, it was just a few seconds, they couldn’t even interfere with it as they were hit with an enormous feeling of exhaustion, they had used an enormous quantity of the power they had saved to move and fight in that finishing blow, but at the end, the Hivemind Matriarch barely survived. She gambled for it and attempted to devour the star she possessed, resulting in her new form and evolution into an entity of a Realm higher than even World-Devourers… Star Devourers! Above the Planets, what was there if not the stars themselves? Enough to bring warmth and sustain the life of many planets around the entirety of the universe…

Stars had the power to even overpower Gods, they were so incredibly big and strong that the space around them distorted and continued to sink, and when they became supernovas and exploded, a black hole would emerge, distorting space and time even more, as if the very fabric of space was tore apart by their incredible energy quantities.

They were the pillar of energy in the Universe, and not many beings could even control them, but those strong enough that they had even devoured dozens of planets if not hundreds… they would one day devour a start… and evolve into a greater being.

The Matriarch of the Hivemind had cheated her way through, utilizing the uniqueness of her physical body, she absorbed the star’s entire power into her own power, and became the start itself, this was a gamble, as there was a very high chance of her dying in the process. But somehow, destiny said the contrary, and she was not only allowed to survive but to completely compress the power of the star into her own new body.

And everything, all of it… it all went according to her plans at the end! The Hivemind Matriarch couldn’t help but feel completely revitalized, born anew with the power of a star coursing through her new humanoid body resembling an angel, she smiled maliciously back at the Valkyries!

Veronica and Ervas attempted to stop her in that moment, as they flew towards her, unleashing more of their power forcefully and generating a massive barrier of Yin and Yang, as darkness and light converged in front of the moving Hivemind Matriarch, blocking her path!

”We won’t let you pass!”

”Oh, is that so?”

The Hivemind Matriarch defied their will as she enhanced her fist with the power of a star, unleashing a powerful punch into the barrier, the punch not only shattered the entire barrier into pieces, but also released a gigantic shockwave of power that hit the split souls directly, sending them flying across space with an immense force!

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

”U-Unnggh…! S-She’s too strong!” Muttered Veronica.

”Veronica, we can’t let her reach the Valkyries!” Muttered Ervas.

The two quickly stopped flying across space as they directed their trajectory back at the Hivemind Matriarch, unleashing a barrage of slashing attacks using their scythe! The scythe was charged with the primordial powers they had all forged until now, packed with the power of the souls of every living and unliving being within their World Realm!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The Hivemind Matriarch easily blocked each hit with her bare hands, intercepting the hits and then pushing away the energies with incredible flawlessness! She quickly evaded the last hit right before pushing her fist upwards, clashing against the scythe and then, hitting it with enormous strength!

CRAAAASH!

The entire scythe gained cracks which quickly grew and made the entire weapon shatter into pieces. Veronica looked down at the Hivemind Matriarch, as she gritted her metallic teeth and the titan made of steel suddenly opened its mouth wide, unleashing a powerful dragon-like breath of pure death and phantasmal energies, as its eyes shone bright red!

”GRAAAAAAHHHH!!!”

FLUUOOOOSSSSHHH!

The power of death was, however, completely blocked, as the Hivemind Matriarch smiled defiantly, generating an enormous barrier made of the power of her star around her, and easily blocking any sort of damage from even reaching her!

”Damn it!!!” Roared Ervas, as he generated a giant cage made of cosmic wood which was resistant to all elements, trying to trap the Hivemind Matriarch inside!

CRANK!

However, the Hivemind Matriarch smiled once more, as she unleashed countless explosive fist attacks from within the wooden cage, breaking it into pieces and burning everything with the power of solar flames!

”RAAAAAH!” Veronica roared while struggling to kill this monster, using her enormous metallic legs, she tried to kick the Hivemind Matriarch with the power of many technique skills converging together with it, but the Hivemind Matriarch smiled once more, resisting the hit with her bare hands, and then hitting the leg back, quickly spreading cracks all over and shattering it into pieces!

CRAAAASSSSSHHH!

”F-Fuck…!” Veronica groaned, as the Hivemind Matriarch looked at them and suddenly opened her mouth, as star energy began to gather within, she was going to unleash a breath attack!

”Stop right there!!!”

However, right at that moment, the Valkyries acted, combining their powers, they unleashed a barrage of holy light beams against the Hivemind Matriarch, which somewhat still damaged her despise having grown this powerful!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Hivemind Matriarch, despite having been enhanced and grown insanely strong, was being overwhelmed by the power of such blows, feeling completely overpowered by them, she gritted her teeth and glared hatefully to her foe, finding the Valkyries desperately attempting to defeat her!

”You vermin… All of you should die!” She roared, as she resisted the pain over her body which slowly began to regenerate her wounds, flying towards the Valkyrie and unleashing several beams from her own star and heavenly powers converged together, as explosions of flames emerged everywhere, all while the Valkyries combined their power and coordinated attacks together, staying away from the Hivemind Matriarch’s range of physical attacks!

Veronica and Ervas was this was an opportunity to strike… But their body and souls could barely move. …However, an enormous entity from within the planet of Eden slowly began to fly into the outer space.
