The Almighty Heracles

The fast-flying asteroid instantly froze in space.

Heracles had actually withstood the impact of the asteroid with his own body alone!

Yet, this was not the end.

Heracles withdrew his right hand, then gathered his strength once again, striking heavily on the surface of the asteroid!

*BOOOOOOM—!*

*Crack—!*

Centered around Heracles's fist, countless spider-web-like cracks swiftly spread across the surface of the asteroid, much like toppling dominoes, filling its every corner in the blink of an eye.

*BOOOOOOOOM—!*

With a deafening sound, the ten-kilometer diameter asteroid exploded like a firework!

Without using any Noble Phantasm, merely with the power of his body alone, Heracles shattered a ten-kilometer diameter asteroid.

Such a magnificent scene, even Kama and Arkhan couldn't help but be astonished.

'Looks like, even if I use the 'Black Dragon Body', there's still quite a gap between Heracles and me, huh? His 'Strength' must be at least EX...' Arkhan thought in astonishment and let out a slow sigh of relief.

Dealing with Grand Servant Heracles in 'Strength' alone wouldn't be so easy, even for him, who was also a Grand Servant.

Indeed, this was the true strength of the great and legendary hero of Greece.

"Just brute force, nothing to boast about!" Kama exclaimed angrily.

Narrowing her eyes, the crown of light behind her head released six dazzling beams of light, covering Heracles's body entirely.

Like ice meeting flame, Heracles's aura diminished considerably, and his various parameters were weakened to varying degrees.

The characteristics of Beast III/L were housed in the crown of light. It could release various beams of love according to Kama's state of mind, totaling six: 'free love', 'pure love', 'unjust love', 'unbiased love', 'inexhaustible love', and 'everlasting love'.

While these beams of light buffed Kama, they debuffed her enemies instead. Over time, the degree of buffing and debuffing increased. Coupled with her 'Embrace of Dreams', in a quantity-based battle, she could be considered the strongest, even among Beasts.

"Just a little weakening, that's all. Even if weakened, this is more than enough to deal with you." Heracles calmly remarked as he glanced down at his weakening body, his expression unchanged.

"Hmph, bragging!" Kama sneered.

Heracles leaned forward slightly, knees bent.

*BOOM!*

With a thunderous boom, a ring of sonic clouds exploded behind him, and his body flew out like a meteor, instantly appearing in front of Kama.

Seeing this, Kama's pupils contracted, and before she could react, Heracles lifted his knee and mercilessly kicked her face without mercy!

*BOOOOOOM!*

Under Heracles's full-force kick, Kama didn't have the slightest resistance, not even time to feel pain.

Her head was instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

Watching the headless corpse, every double of Kama instinctively took a step back, a hint of fear appearing on their delicate faces. Even though they considered themselves gods, they couldn't help but be intimidated by Heracles's violence and cruelty.

"That kick just now was merely a down payment."

After saying that, Heracles took off an obsidian longbow from his back, aiming at Kama's doubles, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

"Now, it's time to settle the score."

He wielded his obsidian longbow, channeling all his magical energy into it. The magical energy inside his body flowed endlessly like a roaring river, forming a magical arrow that carried astonishing power.

He cast a cold glance at the surrounding Kama's doubles, then with a loosened grip, the magical arrow surged forth like a shooting star, tearing through space and heading straight ahead.

*WHOOOOOSH—!*

The power housed within the arrow exploded instantaneously, causing a deafening blast that reverberated in all directions. Within a radius of hundreds of meters, many doubles of Kama were instantly engulfed by this furious magical energy akin to a thunderstorm. Under such terrifying power, they couldn't even utter a scream before vanishing into nothingness.

Such was the might of a single arrow!

Witnessing this scene, Arkhan couldn't conceal his astonishment. He hadn't anticipated that Heracles in his original form could unleash such terrifying power.

Truly deserving of the reputation of the strongest among the Greek demigods.

On the other hand, every double of Kama couldn't help but feel intense dread in their eyes as they witnessed the massacre. Compared to before, Heracles now seemed several times stronger, almost like a humanoid monster!

But as Beast III, Kama wasn't to be underestimated.

Every double of Kama raised their arms, and the crowns of light behind their heads radiated brilliant light. Soon, these lights converged and transformed into thick pillars of light whips, all swinging toward Heracles.

""You're dead meat!""

Every double of Kama yelled in tandem.

Heracles's eyes narrowed as he saw countless light whips descending upon him with the force of a falling sky. His expression remained unchanged, but his obsidian longbow transformed instantly into a rough, unnamed axe-sword, swinging upward.

"Nine Lives!"

In an instant, an extreme brilliance exploded, forming countless blurry beams of light.

The top-tier martial art that once slew the Hydra now manifested in the form of an axe-sword. Except for Heracles himself, no one knew the extent of his attack. Even Arkhan, whose martial arts were unparalleled, could only see a blurry afterimage.

This was nothing like the 'Nine Lives' Heracles had previously used; this was the true manifestation of 'Nine Lives'!

Pure destruction, ultimate devastation, complete annihilation, unmatched and unbeatable—this was the all-powerful Noble Phantasm that the great hero Heracles took pride in!

Countless beams of light soared into the sky, colliding with the descending light whips.

*BOOOOOM—!*

In an instant, terrifying destructive power erupted, and almost instantly, all the light whips were completely obliterated!

Seeing their attacks get crushed, every Kama twitched their brows one after another. Wasn't this man a bit too much? Was he truly just a demigod? With such devastating power, he surpassed many gods, didn't he?

""Don't think it's over just yet!""

Every Kama exclaimed in unison and raised their arms once again.

On their arms, resembling crystalline glass, clusters of azure flames rose, splendid yet emanating a destructive aura that sent shivers down everyone's spine, like dormant volcanoes ready to erupt.

These were flames from one of the three major gods of India, Shiva.

Under Kama's hands, they possessed almost half the power of Shiva's. Even gods could be instantly annihilated by them, completely dispersed into nothingness.

In legend, Shiva was the god of destruction, and as a manifestation of his power, these flames also embody such a concept.
