Claire, witnessing the dire situation and recalling the artifact she discovered, acted swiftly.Thinking on her feet, Claire swiftly shattered the artifact into smaller shards and loaded them into her shotgun. The pendant around her neck shimmered with a radiant glow, reacting to the infused shards from the artifact.

In an awe-inspiring transformation, the shotgun underwent a remarkable change, its form altering and glowing with a newfound power granted by the pendant. The weapon now emanated an otherworldly energy, crackling with the condensed power of the shattered artifact.With determination blazing in her eyes, Claire raised the transformed shotgun, the weapon exuding an intense and mysterious aura."This should even the odds," Claire muttered, her voice filled with determination as she took aim at Nemes-X.The heroes, engaged in the furious assault against Nemes-X, paused momentarily, their attention drawn to Claire and her newly transformed shotgun.

However, lacking a transformative power like Ryu's Satsui no Hado or Dante's devil trigger, Hercules found himself vulnerable against the sheer magnitude of Nemes-X's power.

The malevolent entity's overwhelming force proved too much to bear, slowly wearing down the mighty demigod.In a moment of stark realization, Hercules, gritting his teeth against the relentless onslaught, fought with unwavering determination despite the overwhelming odds. His efforts to hold back Nemes-X dwindled as he began to succumb to the overpowering force of the fusion entity.Nemes-X, seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos of battle, unleashed a devastating barrage of dark energy that Hercules struggled to withstand. The demigod, valiant to the end, continued to stand against the malevolent force, but the intensity of the assault proved overwhelming.With a heavy heart, the heroes witnessed Hercules, their stalwart ally, valiantly standing against Nemes-X, ultimately succumbing to the relentless onslaught. Despite his indomitable spirit and unmatched strength, Hercules fell in battle, his body consumed by the overwhelming power of Nemes-X.The battlefield fell into a momentary silence, the loss of their mighty comrade weighing heavily on the hearts of the remaining heroes.

In a moment of unity and desperation, Ryu, Dante, and Hercules coordinated their efforts to restrain Nemes-X, each pouring their strength into holding back the formidable entity."Claire, don't hesitate! Do it now! We'll hold him!" Dante shouted over the cacophony of battle, his devil-trigger enhanced form contributing to the collective effort to restrain Nemes-X.Ryu and Hercules, equally determined, added their might to the struggle, their combined strength focused on pinning down the malevolent fusion entity.Claire, wielding the transformed shotgun infused with the artifact's power, hesitated briefly, witnessing her allies' selfless act. With resolve and determination, she steadied herself for the critical moment ahead."Trust us, Claire! Let it rip!" Ryu urged, his voice strained with effort as they grappled with Nemes-X.

Recognizing that this might be their only opportunity to alter the course of the battle, Claire nodded with determination. She took a deep breath, aligning her aim with precision and focus.As she prepared to unleash the empowered blast, Hercules, lacking a transformative power to shield himself, continued to exert every ounce of his strength to hold Nemes-X.However, Nemes-X, amidst the struggle, directed a devastating burst of dark energy directly at Hercules, exploiting his vulnerability.
