Batista was pierced into a sponge because of Aurora’s Lightstorm. But he didn’t die. Instead, gold liquid poured out from his artificial heart and enveloped him.

’Huh... All the members of the Von Schattenberg seem to have the influence of deities within them.’ Aurora communicated to the main group chat.

’This is the same case for Lorenzo. A Fate User just possessed him.’ Crow responded.

’That bastard Arturo just summoned a Fate armor out of nowhere.’ Bash said.

’Does any of you need my assistance?’ The black cat was hovering above of Aeliz City, watching Aurora fighting Batista.

’Please, Master. We can handle this.’ Aurora chuckled nicely. ’After all, we still have our legions supporting us.’

’I can take care of Lalo, Master.’ Crow was also very confidence.

’Bash smashed them all’ Bash responded. They didn’t see what he was doing but they were sure that Bash was tapping his chest.

’Alright. I will summon the Band to assist you as well.’

The Band referred to Sparrow, Evelynn, and Erin. They had much less offensive power than the original three but their abilities were extremely annoying. Sparrow could manipulate the environment. Evelynn was a control freak, pun intended. And Erin’s mental attack was devastating.

Combined their advantages with the original three’s offensive powers and the enemies would be in great trouble.

Batista stood up and jumped at Aurora. "You can’t kill me! The gods resurrected me once! I am immortal!"

His entire body was covered in gold lines.

"Is that so?" Aurora smiled.

The mini snowflakes aimed toward Batista and shot out countless Northern Light Beams. They pushed Batista on the ground again.

Batista climbed out of the huge hole. Suddenly, a dark wing succubus appeared behind him.

"Where are you going?" Kaera said softly.

Her voice exuded the pink Fae Fire. It went into Batista’s mind. The head of the Von Schattenberg’s family felt like something was crawling into his head. The connection he had with his gods had grown fainter. His eyes constantly shifted between large pink hearts and the gold color of the gods.

"Get out of my head!" Batista turned around and elbowed Kaera. But the succubus had already teleported away. The hearts kept appearing on top of his irises.

"What is this power?"

’Mental attack seems to be very effective with them.’ Aurora reported to the group chat.

’Only Erin and Kaera have that power though.’ Crow just dodged a strike and replied.

’We don’t have it. But our soldiers do.’ Aurora said.

The white elk lifted its head and called upon the Psychics. "Soldiers! To me!"

The Illuminati soldiers rushed out from their hiding spots and quickly formed a formation on the ground.

There was a helicopter flying in the sky broadcasting everything. For most of the people in the Union, they didn’t know about the existence of the Supernatural so when they watched what was happening on TV, they couldn’t help but felt shock.

"My god... What are all these beings! You better keep that camera rolling, David!" The female reporter shouted while holding the camera.

"Yes, ma’am. Everything is live!"

As soon as he said that, the connection was cut off. Most of the news channels were terminated immediately.

"What the?! Why is the server down?" The camera man said.

The reporter frowned. Then she got a call from the higher-ups. The Union government had taken action and prohibited all news stations to stop broadcasting the current events.

"What do we do now?" The camera man said.

"We do as we are told. Let’s head back to the news station."

The ACPD had evacuated most civilians. Then they set up a parameter around the place Aurora and Batista was fighting.

Detective Alister was there. Only this time, he was no detective anymore but a representative of the Union government.

He took out a megaphone and shouted into it, "You two! Stop right there and come with us! Do not force us to use violent measure!"

Aurora and Batista didn’t even care. They continued to bash the area to hell.

Alister frowned.

"What should we do, commander?" A subordinate asked him.

"We’ll wait. There’s no point in getting in between them right now. Let them fight. Once they’re finished and tired, we will swoop in." Alister said.

The Illuminati soldiers formed a temporary ritual on the ground. This was one of their battle formation back in the Everlasting Wilds.

"Channel your power into the ritual, boys and girls!" The captain of the squad shouted.

The soldiers placed their hands on the ground. A red magical circle appeared. In the middle was a large Octagram. Red hands appeared around Batista and started to grab and pull his head.

Each motion added another crack to his weak mental state.

He spun around and smacked all the hands but they simply disappeared. This was a mental attack and physical damage couldn’t completely destroy it.

"Ants!" Batista punched on the ground. A shockwave was sent into the Psychic Formation.

"Defensive position!" The captain shouted.

A line of soldiers stepped forward and quickly typed on the Integrator they had on their wrists. Then they all poured their power into one.

A multi-layered pink barrier appeared in front of them and stopped the shockwave from advancing. This Psionic was created based on Mater’s own Layered Force Dome and made use of the connecting power of the Psychics.

Batista gritted his teeth. These soldiers worked too well together and they knew how to combine their powers. Even for a Rank-3 like him, it would not be easy to get through to them quickly.

Especially since a Wight and a Succubus were constantly attacking him.

In a moment of distraction, a red hand managed to puncture itself into Batista’s skull. It didn’t hurt him physically but managed to imbalance his emotions.

All kinds of image flashed in his mind. The golden color on his body started to flicker.

"Get out!" Batista used even more Fate and blasted the Chaos out of him. But that was too late. The damage was done.
