Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey
Chapter 65 - Celestial Queen

Hera's eyes widened as she saw the other hand coming out of the grave.

After a brief moment, Laira stood up from the grave and exposed her naked body that had no indication of decomposing— and even her hair was unscathed.

Her body was pure white, as though there was no blood inside her body, and she was eating the flowers. Her eyes were closed, and her body gave out a sweet scent of the flowers, but her skin looked rough.

Hera snickered and suppressed her grin, "You disappoint me, Zane."

Laira opened her eyes and stared at Hera with an undefined look on her face.

"You smell like Zane," Hera muttered.

Hera stretched her hands and cracked her fists, "Step back, Fenris. I am pissed now— coz too many unpredictable things happened at once."

Hera turned around and walked away from Fenris and Laira, then scoffed, "His love was so great that it revived the dead, and his rage is so high that it's not letting a monster die."

The bear landed right in front of Hera and growled.

"Why do weak always look imitating?"

The bear was torn apart before it could even move. Its body fell to the ground, and after some moments, its body regenerated again.

"You disappoint me, Zane."

She sighed, and the next instant, the bear was dead.

It again regenerated and died soon after.

"You are taking too much time to regenerate. I am getting bored."

"Come forth, Uriel," Hera raised her hand in the air, and a red-black scythe appeared in her hand.

"Hera!" Fenris yelled. "You promised you would never use Uriel."

"Come on— now, Fenris," Hera tilted her head and looked back at Fenris. "The archangel Uriel and his army annihilated your family and the entire Beast realm."

"You are the only survivor," she added.

"I am talking about that weapon!" Fenris shouted.

"What's wrong if I killed an archangel and turned him into my weapon? At least, he is a little useful now."

Hera tapped the scythe on the ground, and a magic circle covered the area. "Now, this is my domain, and my words are absolute here."

The bear dashed at Hera, but she didn't do anything this time. She removed the hood from her head and revealed her long black hair— darker than the abyss, and her beautiful crimson eyes.

She yawned as she covered her mouth and licked her soft red lips.

"The sun is too bright."The domain turned dark the moment she said that, and the sunlight couldn't penetrate it further. In her domain, her words were absolute— that could even defy the rules and laws of the realms.

The bear was about one meter away from her as it swung its claw to attack Hera.

"Stop," Hera muttered, and the bear stopped, or rather the time around them had stopped.

"Heh!" Hera grinned, then smirked wickedly and laughed aloud maliciously.

"Break."

The bear's body broke into pieces as its blood spread all over— but not on Hera as she had cast a layer.

"Revive."

The bear immediately healed.

"Shatter."

The bear's body shattered.

"Revive."

"Crumble."

"Revive."

"Burst."

"Revive."

"Disintegrate."

"Revive."

"Collapse."

"Revive."

"Perish."

"Revive."

"Fall apart."

"Revive."

"Obliterate."

"Revive."

"Annihilate."

"Revive."

"Die."

"Revive."

She kept laughing malevolently as she revived and killed the bear again and again.

"Hera, stop!" Fenris shouted as she ran towards Hera. "If you don't stop, then I will enter your domain, and whatever you say will affect me too."

"Tch!" Hera clicked her tongue and let out a weary groan. "I was having fun."

Hera swung her scythe in the air, and the bear was cleaved into two. Before it could regenerate again, Hera grabbed the crystal and pulled it out from the bear's body.

"It won't regenerate again."

She looked at the bear's body and smirked, "Rest in pain."

The scythe and her domain disappeared, and Hera looked at Fenris with a satisfied smile on her face.

She looked at the crystal and muttered, "So this is Zane's rage. I wonder what will happen if I eat it."

"Everything of Zane belongs to Jane."

Hera opened her mouth and ate the crystal as Fenris yelled, "Hera!"

Hera lowered her head and stood in silence, then looked back at Fenris.

"He...ra?" Fenris stammered with a horrified look on her face.

Hera dashed towards Fenris, and Fenris closed her eyes in fear, only to open them again when she felt Hera's warmth.

"It was nothing," Hera murmured as she stroked Fenris' wolf ears.

Fenris frowned her face and pushed Hera back, "You went too far today!"

"Did I? I just had a little fun, nothing else," she recalled with an innocent grin.

"What are we going to do with this girl?" Fenris wondered as she gazed at Laira.

"Her body is soulless, so she is nothing more than a puppet," Hera asserted.

"Can't you do anything?"

Hera stared into Liara's eyes and uttered, "Do you remember your name?"

Laira didn't respond and stared blankly at nothing.

"She doesn't even know her name, so how am I going to help her?" Hera shrugged her shoulders at Fenris.

Fenris frowned her brows and squinted her eyes at Hera, "Hera."

"Fine~" Hera groaned and tapped on Laira's forehead. "I will give you a soul, a name, and a new identity, but it's up to you to accept that."

"Though you will have no memory or affection left," she added.

Hera wrote something on Laira's forehead and stated, "From this moment, your name is Laura, and you will serve me."

As soon as Hera said that, Laira's body rose in the air. Her hair turned white, and her rough skin became soft.

Laira landed on the ground and looked back and forth at Hera and Fenris.

"Did it work?" Fenris questioned.

"It was my first time doing this, so I am not sure," Hera answered and snapped to get Laira's attention.

"Do you understand what I am saying?" Hera asked.

Laira nodded and opened her mouth to say, "Who are you, and who am I?"

"My name is Hera— the celestial queen of the Ruined realm. And this is my… pet— Fenris." Hera introduced herself and Fenris.

"And who am I?"

"Your name is Laura, and you are my puppet."
