The man stood still. Blood was dripping from his nose, and one arm was broken and dangling. But his eyes burned with pure madness.
He raised his hands high.
Black light gathered between them, swirling into a glowing orb the size of his chest.
"You've lost," he spat. "In five minutes, everything in this region will burn. Say your goodbyes, sluts."
A massive shield of divine energy burst around him. Transparent, shimmering with godlike intensity. It shimmered in gold and violet, pulsing with heartbeat-like rhythm. Nothing could touch him now.
Molly narrowed her eyes. "That's cute."
She vanished.
Appeared right in front of him and drove her fist forward.
Clang.
The impact rang out like a gong. Her knuckles met the shield and rebounded instantly.
She blinked. "Okay. What the fuck?"
She kept punching. Left. Right. Uppercut. Palm strike. Nothing. The shield didn't even flicker.
From a nearby ledge, Mortis aimed his horn. "Taste my LASER, you crusty dildo!"
A red beam shot from his horn, slicing toward the man's head.
It vanished the second it touched the shield.
Molly was still hammering fists. "You've gotta be shitting me."
Kuina stood a few steps back, arms crossed, motionless. Her eyes locked on the timer counting down in the air.
4:32.
Piper glanced at her, uneasy. "I can't break this. My powers are water-based. That thing is divine."
Kuina's lips curled into a slow smirk. "So he's using God's energy now?"
"Looks like it."
Kuina's fingers flexed. "Not on my shift."
She pulled her blade forward. It hummed with heat. "Come out, dragon."
The yellow beast surged from her sword, roaring above the battlefield.
"Burn him."
The dragon shot a bolt of lightning straight at the shield.
The bolt bounced off. The shield remained flawless.
Kuina snarled.
Molly backed up. "Still nothing. And I'm getting pissed."
The man screamed. His body was levitating now, veins glowing black. "One more minute and I become the KINGDOM BREAKER. Your bones will liquefy."
Back in the capital fortress, far beyond the mountains, Naamo watched from a swirling portal. He sat in a velvet chair, surrounded by men in dark uniforms. A crystal glass of wine in hand.
"Well, gentlemen," he said calmly, "despite the deaths of so many pathetic males, it appears victory is near. Raise your glasses."
The room of soldiers cheered.
Back at the Safe House, Kylie paced the rooftop. Her wings flared, eyes locked on the timer in the sky.
"Half an hour left. She's not back."
Lika stood beside her, clutching her sleeves. "I... I'm coming with you."
Kylie turned. "You sure?"
Lika nodded. "She's... everything to us."
Mira stood silently. Her body trembled with something unspoken. Then flames burst from her palms.
"Let's go."
Kylie grinned. "Damn right. Once we wipe these bastards out, maybe we'll peek into the Fire Realm. I've been curious."
Mira arched a brow. "You just wanna spy on me in my old castle."
Kylie winked. "Maybe."
Mira rolled her eyes, grabbed Lika's hand, and together, the three girls soared into the air.
Back on the battlefield, the man's voice bellowed across the courtyard.
"Two minutes left! Get ready to DIE!"
The ground cracked beneath him. Shadows spread in every direction. Energy surged like a storm cloud about to burst.
Molly and Kuina attacked in tandem. Flashing blades. Fire punches. Divine lightning. Nothing pierced the barrier.
Piper stood farther back, fingers glowing with aqua energy. She launched a stream of magical water, but it fizzled out as soon as it touched the shield.
"No good," she muttered.
Suddenly, the system chimed.
"WARNING: Mission failure imminent. Break your boundaries."
A flash of white light surrounded Piper.
Then her clothes vanished.
She gasped. "HEY! System, a little warning first?"
She stood naked, eyes wide, cheeks flushed.
Then Kuina's armor vanished too.
"What the hell?!"
The system replied in its usual smug tone. "Mouth-to-mouth with loving touch required. Timer: 60 seconds. Reward: Shield-Shattering Power."
Kuina didn't hesitate.
She tackled Piper to the ground and kissed her.
Hard.
Tongue. Lips. Bodies grinding.
Their hands explored—shoulders, waists, hips, lower.
They moaned softly, locked in each other like flames and ocean waves.
Molly froze mid-punch, staring. "Are... are they really making out? Naked? What the hell?"
She turned a shade of pink. "I've never... I mean, women? I didn't know they could—wait. Why are they naked? Why am I watching this?"
Her hands clenched, face twitching, torn between confusion and something deeper.
Meanwhile, the man above roared with rage. "STOP THAT! YOU LESBIAN WHORES! YOU CAN'T JUST—"
He screamed louder.
Piper and Kuina didn't stop.
Their moans deepened. Their skin glowed. Power swirled between them.
Exactly sixty seconds later, Kuina broke the kiss.
She rose slowly, eyes burning violet-gold.
A black radiant armor wrapped around her. Her blade pulsed with a glow no one had ever seen.
The system chimed: "New Skill Unlocked: Shield Shatter."
Piper stood again, now fully clothed. She blew a kiss. "Have fun, baby."
Kuina winked and soared into the air.
"Shield Breaker. Now."
A massive pulse of energy erupted from her body, directed at the man.
The shield exploded in a thousand golden shards.
Molly's eyes widened. She didn't waste a second.
She blurred forward, twisting in midair, and kicked the man square in the jaw.
His body flipped and crashed into the stones.
But the orb still floated above him. Bigger. Pulsing. Almost ready.
"No," he whispered, crawling. "Not fair. I used everything on that shield. This isn't a fair fight! I deserve a real,"
Piper walked up slowly.
Bent down.
Grabbed his hair and stared into his eyes.
"You tried to kill us. You want fair?"
She tapped his forehead.
"AQUA STORM DEATH."
A beam of water shot through his skull. Clean. Perfect.
His body dropped.
Mortis appeared beside the corpse, raising his left leg up
"Oh, thank GOD. Finally, a proper place to piss."
He began urinating on the corpse.
Piper winced. "You're disgusting."
Molly floated beside them. "He deserved it."
But the orb was still there.
And growing.
Faster.
Brighter.
Stronger.
The sky trembled.
The timer read 15:00.
"Damn," Kuina muttered. "That thing is still alive?"
She charged up her sword.
"Let's nuke this thing."
All three girls launched attacks.
Kuina's slash.
Piper's water blast.
Molly's speed strike.
It wasn't enough.
The orb flared again, now ten times its size.
Screams filled the air from far-off villages.
The orb pulled everything toward it: rocks, weapons, even sound.
Piper yelled, "How is this thing so damn strong?!"
Kuina shouted back, "Your lips are stronger, babe!"
Molly groaned. "Seriously?"
Piper smirked. "At least I don't dress like a plastic Barbie."
Molly raised a finger. "Say that again, glitter-whore,"
The orb expanded.
Kuina gasped. "No time."
Inside her mind, memories surged.
Her mother's blood.
James's laughter as he beat her.
The sound of the gun when he shot her dog.
The crack of her mother's bones.
And her promise.
Revenge.
Redemption.
Glory.
She screamed.
Pink energy exploded from her blade, her eyes, her chest.
The orb froze. Moved slightly backward.
But still pulsed.
Then, from above,
Three streaks of color.
A blast of black magic struck first.
Kylie.
"BLACK SEDUCTION BALL!"
The orb shuddered.
Then Lika arrived. Eyes glowing yellow.
"HYPNO BEAM: ECLIPSE MODE!"
A spiral of mental light hit the core.
Mira followed.
Her entire body was on fire. Her eyes are burning suns.
"FIRE BLOOM BLASTO!!"
She launched twin jets of inferno into the side of the orb.
Piper's jaw dropped. "Girls?"
Kuina looked up, sweat dripping, then smiled. "Took you long enough."
Kylie floated beside her. "Couldn't let you die without me, babe."
Lika hovered to her right, blushing. "We... we wanted to help."
Mira flew past them, glaring. "Let's finish this damn thing."
The girls lined up.
Six bodies.
Six hearts.
One shared fury.
The orb shook violently, shrinking slightly, then swelled again.
Naamo watched from his portal. His wine glass shattered in his hand.
"No. No, no, no. This cannot happen. This cannot, "He slammed his fist down."Prepare the troops. I'll deal with them myself."
