Around the time when Ed was conversing with Demon King Last in the spiritual world.
“Waaaah!”
“Tch! Men are really useless!”
Donatella mercilessly beat down the men who were grabbing onto her like phantoms with her spear. However, the men were tougher than she thought and kept stubbornly clinging to Donatella.
“Breasts
 b-butt
”
“Don’t come near! You’re disgusting!”
Gargado, in particular, was troublesome. His obsession and strength were at least twice as strong as the other men, and he kept getting up without giving up even though he’d been knocked down many times.
“You guys are really in the way! I could defeat the black star now!”
The black star, which appeared behind the outsider man, Ed, as soon as it disappeared in front of her, was immobilized as if it was hugging Ed. It looks like it’s not even conscious from afar, so it’s a perfect opportunity to defeat it.
“I’ll defeat it! I’ll defeat it! I’ll definitely defeat it! If I defeat you, everything will end! So stop interfering, men who have fallen to lust!”
“Ugh!?”
The power of the hero rose from Donatella, whose irritation had reached its peak, and strongly knocked Gargado’s large body away. Donatella was about to stab her spear into Gargado, who had fallen

“I won’t let you do that!”
With a grinding sound, Donatella’s spear was deflected. The only man who had not joined the fight until now was standing there.
“
Hamokin. You’re also getting in my way.”
Hamokin, who was barely standing, was covered with a black miasma as thick as Gargado’s, and just seeing his figure made a strong disgust rise in Donatella’s mind.
“I, I am
”
“Hmph! After all, you’re just a man! Men are worthless! Men are unreliable! We don’t need men who lose to lust!”
Donatella’s downward swung spear was caught by Hamokin. Then, Hamokin’s modest spear broke, and Donatella’s spear hit his shoulder.
“Guh
 Donatella
”
But Hamokin held the end of the broken spear in his hand. The sight of him still fighting even after losing his weapon was indeed that of a warrior
 that’s why the disappointment that rises in Donatella was sublimated into anger.
“Even in such a state, you protect erotic things! Men are the worst! Men are evil!”
“
For me, man, erotic things
 I like them
 Breasts, butts, taking our eyes away
 it’s a man’s instinct
 there’s nothing we can do about it
”
“I don’t want to hear such pathetic excuses! Men are weak! Men are the worst!”
“But
!”
Hamokin raised the broken spear in his hand and swung it down with all his strength. The hard, sharp obsidian tip pierced
 Hamokin’s own abdomen.
“Huh!? Hamokin, what are you doing!?”
“Erotic things
 are important
 but there are more important things
 family, comrades, I must protect them
 right, you guys!”
“Ooooooo!!!”
The fallen men get up, shouting bravely. They raise their shaking hands high, and everyone stabbed their spears into their own bellies.
“Are you guys crazy!?”
“Ha, ha, ha
 I love erotic things. I can’t beat erotic things
 but, I won’t lose either!”
“We are warriors! Warriors protect everyone! So
”
“We’ll protect Donatella’s heart!”
“Gargado!? And you guys
 what are you, what are you saying!?”
“We couldn’t beat the black star. But there’s no need for Donatella to bear our lives. We can’t interfere anymore
 so
 Defeat it, Donatella! Defeat the black star and protect the villagers!”
“Hamokin!”
All the men fall, bleeding from their bellies. Donatella, who was in turmoil, held Hamokin’s head, who was closest to her, and his trembling hand reached for her cheek.
Contact from a disgusting men. But at this moment alone, she doesn’t feel a hint of disgust.
“Yeah, Donatella
 you’re not very erotic. But
 you’re very beautiful
”
“



”
In front of Donatella, who was unable to speak, Hamokin’s hand fell flat. Then, a familiar voice echoed in Donatella’s head.
[The disgusting men have selfishly died, abandoning their responsibilities. Ah, how selfish, fragile, and weak they are.]
“
No.”
[Pitiful men who lost to lust. Spineless weaklings. Losers who couldn’t do anything.”]
“

No!”
Donatella, who shouted strongly, hit her own head hard. Her vision distorted with a thud, and at the same time, her thoughts split into two just a little.
[Men are――]
“Men were brave. They were prepared to sacrifice themselves for victory.”
[Even though they’re men――]
“In addition, they even worried about me. They made sure my hands were not stained with the blood of comrades.”
[Really, men are――]
“

 Ah, men are really foolish. But
they’re neither weak nor cowardly!”
[Wrong! Men are――]
“You’re annoying! I don’t need you anymore! I am me! Not you! Disappear!”
Donatella shoved her finger deep into her own right ear. Then, she violently tore out whatever was caught inside.
“Agggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!”
An unimaginable intense pain ran through her, and the world instantly began to spin around.
The glowing star, which didn’t have a physical existence, could not be removed just because she tore out her semicircular canals. But such determination and resolve, with the power of the hero, pushed out the interfering foreign object into Donatella’s blood-soaked right fist.
[Why do you reject? Why do you resist? I am you, your power! To create a superior peaceful world where men are eliminated and women stand at the peak――]
""
“I don’t need such a thing! Ah, that’s right. I finally
finally remembered

”
Donatella stumbled many times in a flat plain, but she approached the still unmoving black star. From the tip of her golden glowing fist, muddy white seemed about to burst out at any moment.
“I thought I heard the voice of God. I thought I had received the power of God. But it was wrong. You’re not a god. If you were a god

 you wouldn’t hurt my family!”
[Pain is necessary to change the world. Accept it, and transform! The ideal future is right ahead――]
“My ideals were in the past! Men and women, helping and supporting each other! Back then, everyone was smiling happily! You made me forget that!”
[Such a smile is ephemeral! It’s just a superficial forgery! Now, accept me! And as a divine warrior surpassing the hero, end the foolish demon king――]
“That’s right! Black Star, I’ll end it here! But
it’s the same for you!”
Exerting her last bit of strength, Donatella stomped the ground. Her arm swung with all her soul and exploded on the face of the black star, which was still stiff.
“Disappear, vanishhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
[What a foolish―――――――――]
As if a sun was born, a dazzling light was emitted around. At the same time, the body of the black star crumbled into dust, then Ed, who had regained his movement, looked around and raised a surprised voice at the unexpected situation.
“

What the hell is this!? Why is everyone collapsed, bleeding

!?”
“Hey, Ed

”
“Donatella!? You’re severely wounded too! What on earth happened to――”
“I’m sorry, for everything till now. If you harbor resentment towards me, I’ll give you my head. So
 please. Please save my comrades, my family.”
Ed was greatly confused at the sight of Donatella begging weakly, a complete opposite of her usual self. But without asking anything further, Ed gently laid Donatella on the ground, grinned, and stood up.
“Leave it to me! Your end isn’t here. I guarantee it.”
Feeling an odd sense of reliability in his expression, Donatella let her consciousness drop into darkness with relief.
