Before the fighters moved, the metropolis shook, and immediately beneath the Axe Father's body, a hole tore, and expanded.
There was a magnetic force that pulled the Chimera Treader and the Axe Father's body.
They were all sucked in violently but that didn't affect anybody, not even a pebble.
The Chimera Treader found itself sliding on a tunnel uncontrollably until it exited from a tube that always carried organ monsters.
They were now in Battle Birth Ground, and headless Axe Father was by the side, still confused.
There were numerous organ monsters but they weren't fighting each other. Parts and parts of them were moving methodologically and forming a face that resembled the Axe Father.
The Chimera Treader quickly jumped at the face and devoured it.
[You have devoured a face]
The face hasn't finished to assume the function of the Father. The Chimera Treader understood that they must prevent the body from ever attaining its head or else…
The danger was real as the Birth Battle Ground was sealed, no path would allow the beast to escape, and the tube above had long closed.
The Chimera Treader even bit certain walls and ground but it immediately healed. What was understood about this was that this was a price for eating the head of a Father.
Just like eating a newborn denizen that didn't acquire their name attracts the wrath of a Father, eating the head of a Father will automatically pull you to their Birth Battle Ground.
Now, the beast has to prevent the denizen from completing its head and becoming functional again.
The organ monsters reacted too and they began to attack the beast while protecting the forming of Axe Father's face in numerous locations.
Thanks to the newborn, it ate in the metropolis and four Core buildings, its body had healed already, but the lion was half asleep, recovering from the pain.
This allowed the beast to move with no care of harming themselves due to earlier broken bones.
They moved at good speed, devouring and swatting away any organ monster to reach the faces that were forming.
And about 4 to 7 faces were forming at a time in various locations. They has to move fast, eat fast and attack fast to make sure none of them are fully formed.
In just under an hour, because of their insatiable bottomless stomach, they consumed more than 80% of the organ monster.
Those that remained were cretin, trying to form the face but they were failing due to their low quality.
Screech!
A sharp sound was heard from elsewhere and the Chimera Treader trembled and looked toward the standing body of the Axe Father.
Its chest's armour has merged with its body, becoming flesh and bones before moulding into an eerily face that barely resembled the Axe Father.
The treader, with the addition of the lion, immediately understood they had been tricked. The forming of faces by the organ monster was fake; it was only buying time for the body to form one.
They did try to attack the body but were sent away, and also the forming of the faces accelerated, which made them unable to focus on the body.
That was the mistake.
"You damn creature ate my son and ate my head!"
It spoke in a revolting manner that no human or beast from earth would ever understand what it was saying.
Its Axe elongated and became a spear; the rest of the organ monster became dust and flowed toward the body, becoming spears floating around.
Then it attacked The Chimera Treader with all its remaining strength.
Denizens such as Fathers who oversee and also take care of Birth Battle Ground have more of their power in their heads. That was why they wore a helmet that they constantly refined its durability.
Every newborn also took that path, they protect their head more than anything, even though that wasn't their main weakness or vital point.
They do not have a true vital point where one can destroy for them to die.
They were strange living creatures that, in an earthly sense, weren't truly alive but part of a collective whole.
The goal of all organ monsters was to form a body and develop an individuality in them. A sense of oneness and control.
That individuality was to be refined as they grew stronger and acquired more names. Until they developed what they can call a spirit.
A denizen that has a spirit has a weakness because the moment the seat of their spirit is harmed, they are gone, and they lose their life and merge with the realm.
However, despite the possibility of death, they all pursued it because that was their path of growth, power and freedom.
So, anyone that has no spirit was immortal in all sense until a monster or beast consumed them and then digested them whole.
If the Chimera Treader was killed now, the head of the denizen would rise from their blood and reform just like that newborn did.
However, if the chimaera digested the head well, then it was gone forever, and the Father had to make another head for its body.
The Axe Father, now Spear Father, didn't come close to the beast but struck it from a distance. Its battle power has reduced and it knew the power of the beast before it.
The Chimera moved, leaving after images in its wake. Its long black hair tail caressing the ground trying to confuse the denizen.
To a degree, it was working, but not by much, as the beast wanted to go around the Father, the Father was following it.
Suddenly, the Father ran toward the beast. It was so unexpected and very fast and the spears it was holding became axes and then struck down.
The Chimera Treader panicked but the tail moved on its own and whipped the long black hair toward the Father.
The Harmonizing Tail nature activated which allowed the Chimera Treader to move away from direct strike and dived under the Father.
However, energy blasts out from the headless father and the beast was sent away. Their mind blanked away for a moment and the moment it woke up, a serrated edge axe was coming down their head.
