THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just... won’t... stay... down!\" Aestrea growled between punches, his knuckles dripping with her blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horae laughed wetly, blood bubbling from her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah... hahaha...! Yes! This is it! This is what I’ve been craving! Hit me harder, God of Karma! Break me! Destroy me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was hoarse and broken, but the excitement in it never faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as her skull cracked under his fists, even as her face was being pummeled into a bloody pulp, she kept smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea grabbed her by the throat, lifting her slightly off the crumbling moon surface, and drove his fist straight into her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRUNCH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body folded around the punch like wet paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More golden blood sprayed from her mouth in a thick, glittering arc, splattering across Aestrea’s face and chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The viscous fluid burned slightly where it touched his skin, but he ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon beneath them finally gave out completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive fractures spiderwebbed across its entire surface with loud, groaning cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge chunks of rock and ice broke away, floating off into the void as the celestial body began disintegrating around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea didn’t wait for it to fully collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Horae by the hair with one hand and hurled her with all his strength toward another nearby moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flew like a comet, trailing golden blood and broken flesh behind her. She slammed into the moon’s surface with catastrophic force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact created a crater the size of a small country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust and rock exploded upward in a massive plume that expanded into space like a nuclear cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon’s surface cracked and splintered from the epicenter, deep fissures spreading outward like lightning bolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden blood pooled in the bottom of the crater, steaming in the vacuum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea descended slowly, black chaos energy trailing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed at the edge of the crater, his red slit eyes glowing coldly as he looked down at her broken form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horae lay in the center of the destruction, her body twisted at unnatural angles. Her elegant gown was shredded, barely clinging to her blood-soaked skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of her arms was bent backward, bones protruding through golden flesh. Her chest rose and fell unevenly, ribs visibly cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that damn ecstatic smile was still plastered on her bloody face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea walked down into the crater, his boots crunching on the shattered lunar rock. He stopped right above her and raised his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped directly onto her massive breasts, pressing down hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SQUELCH.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft, heavy flesh compressed under his boot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden blood oozed out from between them as her ribs creaked audibly. Horae let out a choked, ecstatic moan, her body arching slightly despite the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Give up,\" Aestrea said in a bored tone, grinding his heel down a little harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is getting boring for me already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horae looked up at him through the blood and dust coating her face. Even with a broken nose and split lip, she managed to wink at him playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still don’t have a winner~\" she rasped, voice hoarse but dripping with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you need to continue beating me until I’m satisfied that you’re stronger than me~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea’s eyes furrowed in clear annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You damn masochistic bitch of a Goddess...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached down, grabbed her by the throat with one hand, and lifted her up effortlessly.
