The River King cried out in pain, letting out a deafening roar of fury.
It tried to retract its tongue, but was horrified to find an immense, irresistible force emanating from the seemingly slender whip, which actually delayed its movements for an entire instant.
And it was precisely this momentary pause that allowed the black whip-shadow to flick with wrist-like dexterity, scooping up the mother and child from the brink of death and gently tossing them dozens of meters away to safety.
The River King's enraged gaze followed the whip upwards, only to see a figure standing silently on the edge of the roof of a commercial building nearby, looking down at the ruins it had created below.
It was a young girl.
She wore a magnificent silver heart-shaped mask covering the lower half of her face, revealing only the graceful lines of her delicate jaw and a crimson lip that seemed to be soaked in fresh blood.
She was dressed in an intricately designed and ornate Gothic Lolita dress, with layers of black lace skirt gently swaying in the strong wind on the rooftop, like a rose blooming in the dark night.
Beneath the skirt were a pair of breathtakingly long, beautiful legs encased in ultra-thin black stockings, perfect beyond human imagination, and on her feet were sharp, stiletto-heeled red high heels.
Such a delicate and beautiful outfit, combined with the dangerous thorny whip in her hand and the apocalyptic ruins behind her, created a contradictory yet fatally extreme aesthetic.
"Look! It's a Hero!"
"She... she just saved that mother and child!"
"Oh my god... such a beautiful Hero..."
"Who is that? Is there such a person in the Hero Association's records? This style... I've never seen it before!"
"..."
Citizens in the distance stopped fleeing, watching the scene with shock, confusion, and then rekindled hope.
Someone had already tremblingly raised their phone, pointing it at the figure, as graceful as a succubus and as sacred as a descending deity.

Snap—!
The girl on the rooftop ignored the ant-like chatter below, her slender wrist, holding the whip handle, flicked gently, producing a crisp crack.
"Neo. Heroes, Neo Princess, has arrived."
A clear and melodious voice, like silver bells, spread clearly throughout the entire district through some amplification device, yet it carried a powerful and authoritative tone, completely unlike her appearance, belonging solely to a superior.
Her gaze was icy, as if she were looking at a piece of dirty trash.
"Is it you, this filthy creature, causing mischief here?"
Before she finished speaking, an extremely terrifying brute force erupted from the whip!
"Roar—!"
The River King's massive body, weighing dozens of tons, was forcefully yanked off its feet and stumbled by this seemingly effortless whip, its huge paws plowing two bottomless furrows in the ground, its enormous body sliding uncontrollably towards the building.
"Damn woman! I'll tear you to shreds! I'll eat you piece by piece like a snack!!"
The River King was utterly enraged. It gave up on retracting its tongue, letting the whip entangle it, and then its four limbs exerted force. Its massive body erupted with astonishing speed, disproportionate to its size, like an out-of-control heavy tank, charging headlong towards the building!
It wanted to smash this ignorant little girl, along with this skyscraper, into complete dust!
Facing this fierce charge, like a battering ram capable of leveling a small mountain, the girl on the rooftop showed no change in expression.
She released the whip, letting it retract automatically to her waist like a nimble snake, and merely raised her right leg slightly.
That perfectly curved, breathtaking black-stockinged leg traced an elegant yet sharp, deadly arc in the air.
"Hehehe, just you?"
She chuckled softly, her tone filled with disdain and contempt.
The next second, Neo Princess's figure vanished from the rooftop as if teleporting.
Boom—!!!
A deafening roar, enough to shatter eardrums, and the River King's world-destroying charge came to an abrupt halt.
Its massive body seemed to have collided with an incomparably hard, invisible wall. The enormous recoil caused all its fat to violently undulate, forming visible waves.
In front of its massive catfish head, Neo Princess's figure had appeared like a ghost at some unknown moment.
She hovered in mid-air in a posture that completely defied the laws of physics, her slender right leg maintaining a downward striking pose, the sharp red high heel precisely placed in the exact center of the River King's forehead.
The size difference between the two was vast, like a giant elephant and an elegant butterfly.
However, it was the seemingly delicate girl who now held the absolute advantage, bringing all violence and destruction to a halt!
Crack... A faint cracking sound emerged. The River King's tough skin on its forehead, capable of withstanding armor-piercing rounds, developed a spiderweb-like network of cracks centered around Neo Princess's toes.
"Gurgle... How is this possible!?"
For the first time, confusion and fear appeared in the River King's murky eyes.
"Too weak, too weak."
Neo Princess, or rather, the corners of 'Nude S's' mouth beneath her mask, curved into a sneer of disdain.
Ever since she received the Evolution Cell bestowed by His Majesty, her power had long since surpassed its former limits, reaching the peak of Demon-level.
Such a brute with only raw strength couldn't even give her a sliver of enjoyment in battle.
She retracted her right leg, her body performing a nimble flip in the air, landing steadily on the River King's head.
At the same time, the dangling thorny whip shot out again like a living, spiritual snake.
This time, it didn't attack, but instead wrapped itself lightning-fast around a tilted lamppost nearby.
Neo Princess's wrist exerted force once more.
"Get up for me...!"
Rumble—!
The entire lamppost, cast from special steel and weighing several tons, was forcefully ripped out of its concrete foundation by her!
The surrounding citizens watched dumbfounded, their minds blank.
That seemingly frail girl actually pulled out a lamppost with her bare hands?
What kind of monstrous strength was this!
Neo Princess held the whip handle, swinging the huge lamppost with powerful force, the heavy metal pole whistling as it tore through the air.
"I'll use this to give you a good massage."
Before her words finished, she had already swung the lamppost, slamming it down hard towards the River King's head below her!
Thud—!!!
A dull, heavy thud, like a battering ram striking a city gate.
The River King let out a painful shriek, its massive body trembling violently, and the ground beneath its feet, unable to withstand the immense force, collapsed into a crater more than five meters in diameter.
Neo Princess's attack did not stop.
Boom boom boom boom—!
