Chapter 1610: Chapter 1610

Lucifer sensed a powerful predatory instinct emanating from her. Maria had transformed into a beast, driven by a primal urge to devour her opponent at her peak, an instinct rooted not in her human or ghostly nature, but in her essence as an Outer Goddess.

"Maria... I hope you don't end up regretting this..."

"Don't worry. I won't. But Lucifer, I have something to confess."

"I might have changed a bit from how I used to be... I don't just want to live in peace... I want to dominate."

Lucifer gazed into the skies as the massive cocoon began to crack open. From within, the evolved Hive Queen emerged.

Her accelerated evolution rushed without time to fully develop; meant she wasn't as powerful as intended.

Yet, this didn't matter to the Hive Queen, who was determined to prove her strength.

That she was formidable too!

"ADMIRE MY BEAUTIFUL NEW FORM."

She extended her long arms, revealing a slender body with only four elongated limbs and no legs. Instead, her lower body formed a long, legless abdomen encased in a glowing exoskeleton.

This exoskeleton, pure white with radiant pink and purple lines, covered her entirely. She resembled a newly born insect larva, adorned with long antennae and large, jewel-like purple eyes.

Her wings, a fusion of flesh and flowing psychic energy, combined material and ethereal elements, blazing across the chaotic sky.

Her Rank had advanced beyond L.

"Are you regretting it yet?!"

The Hive Queen laughed, her body transforming into pure essence. The sky above trembled, spiraling into chaos.

As this unfolded, Maria saw thousands of the Hive Queen's clones surrounding her, attacking from every direction.

She quickly deduced that the Hive Queen's new power involved wielding Psychic Powers in the material world with heightened intent, materializing constructs purely from her mind.

It was a truly remarkable ability, and Maria hungered to claim it!

The giant clones assaulted her relentlessly, shredding Maria's barriers and shattering her void shockwaves as they breached her defenses.

She conjured magic, summoning giant Nether Stars that bombarded the clones, destroying hundreds at once, but more kept emerging, dragging her downward into a technicolor ocean.

Maria drowned in a sea of endless colors. The Psychic Energy, warping the material world, created a mesmerizing spectacle, destroying and reassembling matter into sparkling hues.

It was undeniably beautiful, but Maria had no time to admire it, as massive insectoid claws pulled her deeper toward the Hive Queen's gaping maw.

"Can you do anything against this now, you crybaby?!"

As the Hive Queen's colossal jaws devoured Maria, the world quaked, and darkness enveloped everything momentarily.

Millions of stars materialized around the Hive Queen. Her chaotic sea of psychic essence began to be consumed by this darkness.

"{Starlit Isolation}"

The stars converged around the technicolor psychic ocean and erupted through space and time, triggering a massive explosion that engulfed everything.

Now, floating in the distorted, chaotic sky, Maria waited...

If the Hive Queen had truly surpassed her former power, that attack shouldn't have destroyed her.

Yet, seconds passed with no sign of her.

"It seems that was it? Hm, then—"

A sharp pain pierced Maria's chest as a long insectoid claw stabbed through her flesh and soul, black blood splattering everywhere.

"That was a powerful technique, but it wasn't enough to kill me."

The Hive Queen whispered in Maria's ear, her insectoid jaws curling into a smile as she licked the black blood from Maria's face.

"Do you feel it now, the humiliation? The pain? Now—huh?!"

But the Hive Queen didn't see the despair she anticipated.

Maria's Anubis helmet had cracked slightly, revealing only her mouth.

And a wicked, eerie smile.

"You didn't die... Wonderful! Finally!"

The Hive Queen's face contorted in horror as her entire arm was pulverized and torn apart by a small black hole that opened within Maria's chest.

Her arm was completely devoured by the black hole, an abyssal power dwelling within Maria's very being.

"AAAAAAGGGHH! MONSTER!"

The Hive Queen screamed in agony, losing her upper right arm. She evaded Maria's scythe a second before it could slice her, transforming into pure psychic energy.

She reappeared a kilometer away, staring at her arm... it refused to regrow, no matter what she tried.

This was absurd, as she could now become pure ethereal, Psychic Power, rendering her body shapeless and infinitely vast.

Yet, that piece of her existence was gone.

The power within Maria...

This was her Unique Skill, which had evolved and grown more terrifying as she herself evolved.

It had progressed from Unique Skill to Ultimate Skill.

[Primordial Skill: All-Eating Black Void Heart: Yog-Sothoth]

It was a Primordial Skill.

"What was that thing?! It wasn't there before! It wasn't a technique! It was something... within you?!" the Hive Queen asked in disbelief.

"That is my Primordial Skill," Maria said, smiling as black tears streamed down her face. "Now, Hive Queen—no, should I call you Vileplumackt? Let's see who's stronger! Hah... Hahahaha!"

Maria's laughter echoed as the Hive Queen grew nervous, swiftly unleashing her full power again, ensnaring Maria in an endless, twisting Dominion of Psychic Forces and Illusions made real.

Dozens of black holes appeared, exploding and tearing apart the void around Maria. The Hive Queen aimed to destroy the black void that shielded Maria and targeted her soul.

Her evolved powers could now inflict real damage on Maria.

But Maria's bizarre body made direct damage risky. The Hive Queen couldn't afford to lose another piece of herself to be devoured forever!

Would Maria allow her to act freely?

She shook the golden balance she carried, and the Hive Queen suddenly felt a fleeting connection to it.

She swung her insectoid claws, severing the connection a second too late.

"You are a truly wicked person."

The Hive Queen watched the balance tip to one side, revealing an ethereal heart that swiftly returned to her once judged.
