"Doubt what I do and don't have in terms of weaponry all you want, my friend. The fact remains that I ALWAYS prepare, whether that be for you or anything else..." The laser heat would fry the machinery inside the android, destroying it and seemingly ending the ability for it to transmit intel, and ending her tirades.
"Oooh... Well that's a shame, MT was really proud of these. I suppose what's done is done..." And now her voice was coming over the intercom systems, as MM had already expected the androids to eventually be busted, especially considering the types of enemies that came in to try and stop her.
Personally, she was still disappointed that she couldn't get to see Deva even more afraid, wanting nothing more than to press her fears into her and watch her break down. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be an option yet, and so she'd merely have to let the Fun Patrol do their job. Thankfully they were actually very well trained, having a lot of experience working together against stronger opponents. They were even briefed on some of the possible things they could end up facing...
Though none of them were expecting the balloon wolf to be devoured by some sort of big insect hive thing, spitting out the wolf and an insectoid creature rather than the funny looking balloon animal. Once the wolf was spit back out, Jinxie would look at it with a bit of apprehension...
"JUGEMU? JUGEMUUUUU! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JUGEEMUUUUUUU!" And start crying, looking like she had come straight out of a cartoon, her tears arcing in a solid stream of water, ocular gushers in real life...
"JUGEMUUUUUU MOMMY LOVED YOOOOOOUUUUUUU!" The third clown would throw a few more present bombs down to cover them before patting Jinxie on the shoulder a bit while she spoke to the crying clown.
IT'S OK JINXIE... SHHHH... WE'LL HOLD THE BIGGEST AND BESTEST FUNERAL FOR HIM WHEN THIS IS OVER... DO YOU WANNA PLAY WITH MY SPECIAL BALLOONS TO MAKE UP FOR IT?!" But... but the balloon animal was still alive? Despite this, Jinxie cried and whined as though it had been killed, and her friends were comforting her as though she was completely correct... even her wolf looked sad... as though it were mourning it's OWN death... Jinxie would calm down a little, nodding a bit to what the third clown said and hugging her friend, before the third clown smiled again, pulling a balloon pump out of nowhere, except it had a skull and crossbones on it. The knife clown looked at Insectra with what looked like some form of laughing anger.
"GRRRRRR... YOU MADE JINXIE SAD! NOW BONZO'S GONNA MAKE YOU PAY!" The third clown would pull out what... looked like a can of gasoline? Where was she getting all this stuff from? And she'd start dripping it onto some more knives that Bonzo had, lighting the knives on fire as he started juggling them for a few moments and throwing the flaming knives Insectra's way, some going after the bug wolf creature, others going after her and the hive, figuring that insect organic material usually didn't do well against fire.
Meanwhile, Jinxie would be using the new balloon pump to fill some regular balloons, releasing them into the hallway, letting them float to the ceiling. Insectra would smell a faint hint of... insecticide... coming from the balloon pump. Jinxie had apparently filled them all with bug poison, and if anything got near them, they'd pop and let the insecticide fill the hallway.
"IT'S EASY TO DROWN A MERMAID! JUST GOTTA USE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T WATER! OIL, POISON, LAVA, JUST NOT WATER!" And with Bonzo juggling and throwing knives around... it might just be a matter of time before they popped anyway.
"FOR JUGEMU! REST IN PEACE MY LITTLE DARLING!" Seems in the short less then a minute she had known her balloon animal, she had formed a strong attachment to him, having already named him and everything, and yet now also acted as though he were dead...
The wolf would still growl, ready to fight the enemy wolf thing, figuring that it would be losing, but fighting valiantly for its fallen... self. These clowns were... odd... which was kind of the point really. Either way, the balloon wolf wouldn't give up, biting and charging even if it meant that the creature would be dying soon.
"HOW COME YOU GOTTA BE SUCH A SPOIL SPORT?! PARTY POOPERS LIKE YOU NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON!" She'd pull out a big jack-in-the-box and start spinning it at a very fast rate, the music filling the air as the surprise was slowly built up. Judging by the types of weapons and items that the clown had gotten so far, whatever was inside the toy wasn't going to be good for her. If she could get past all the present mines in the hallway, then maybe she'd be able to stop her. The retreating wurm would find itself walking essentially into a trap, and flames would shoot out of the ground the moment it walked over that part of the floor, essentially either burning the wurm severely, or forcing it to stay in the combat area that they were currently in...
Meanwhile, with V...

As the snake was grabbed and sent back at Bifold, it'd wrap around Bifold's arm to keep itself in combat, staying with Bifold and continually attempting to bite V whenever she went after a ki point. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be enough to stop V from having parts of her body going numb from the precise strikes, causing her to growl a bit in annoyance.
"Clever fucking bitch..." She had expected things to be more difficult this time around, but she wasn't expecting this much of a problem. The major problem was just how distracted her backup was, because they were quite powerful and would probably greatly help her in this conflict.
When the tattoo demon saw another swarm of bats, he didn't look concerned immediately, until seeds dropped and started growing into pumpkins, just making his life even more difficult. As his swarm of bats dealt gave him some time, he'd reach down to his leg, holding his hand down on a tattoo of a bunch of spiders, shouting in pain once more as one by one spiders began crawling out of the tattoos on his leg, crawling along the ground and tearing their way through the pumpkins to see if there'd be an easy way to disable them from the inside. MM had been hesitant of allowing him to get a tattoo of spiders, not knowing if Insectra's powers extended towards arachnids, but fortunately not only was he not facing Insectra, his summons were only able to be controlled by him. The smoke woman meanwhile kept the bats away from her, purposely keeping close to her partner's swarm so that she wouldn't have to focus as hard on keeping them off of her.
None of the heroes would even glimpse Lily's eyes, having been warned in advance that it would be rather foolish to do something like that. MM had prepared all of the heroes in the maze for what Lily could do with her eyes, and as such they would avoid even a slight glimpse, not wanting to fall under her power. Even Bifold, with how distracted she was, would keep her eyes averted unless absolutely necessary, busying herself instead with moving and trying to dodge V's assault.
"You may call me whatever you like, the end result is still the same. I will defeat you and continue with my atonement." In all honesty, this wasn't the first time that he had been called an 'edgelord', but it didn't make a difference to him, knowing that he had a duty. Lily wasn't the only one that could summon large amounts of creatures at once, and his 'summons' could include things that most wouldn't even think of when it came to the term 'summoner'. He'd reach up to his other shoulder, where a tattoo of a raging fire rested, and concentrate on that one as well, sending a blast of fire across the pumpkins, shot straight out of his shoulder. However, the blast would only last a few seconds, and afterwards he was left with yet another tattoo gone.
Lady Bifold was having a bit more trouble, her arm weakening as her opponent displayed incredible combat skill. Plus she didn't have the number advantage that she had wanted, instead having to face a rather dangerous opponent one on one. Once she was put in the Judo-hold, however, V would find a trap courtesy of MM herself... as the clothing she was wearing would beep once the hold was on for more than 10 seconds, the suit electrifying and shocking V for holding onto her, and if she somehow held through the shock, the snake would move to bite her. Even with her escape, Bifold knew things weren't going to work out well for her. She groaned and tried a swing, figuring it wouldn't land, but the snake had moved its way to her umbrella, so once V moved out of the way, the snake would once again lunge at her mid-dodge, trying desperately to bite her.
"And you're... urrghh... underestimating me, you bitch..." But she had nothing she could do, looking even more enraged when the smoke bomb went off, preventing an easy sneak attack from her other clone...
"Alright, enough of this bullshit!" The other woman growled, suddenly taking in a large breath, the smoke from V's smoke bomb actually flowing into the woman, quickly leaving the air as though she were a fan system designed to get rid of the smoke. Plus, if V had put any sort of poison or enchantments into her smoke, it'd be filtered out by the woman's near perfect control of smoke, allowing her to quickly clear the hallway of every bit of smoke, causing her to smile confidently.
"Much as I love a smokescreen... I needed a good power up..." Then, this time without taking the delay to focus, she turned into a cloud of smoke, flowing over and around the pumpkins until materializing right next to Lily...
"And you need to stop with your Halloween shit..." As she spoke she'd aim a kick right into Lily's back, not caring that she had the form of a child, knocking her thick boot into the tiny vampire if she couldn't dodge in time.
Meanwhile... in Beastmistress' fight.
"Trying to tell me not to be intelligent is like telling the moon not to rise. You can order it all you wish, but without some serious power it's still going to happen anyway." MM actually gave a polite, slow clap when Beastmistress explained the ideas of attrition and taking down a few high tech, expensive defenses, glad that the formerly idiotic villain at least had SOME brains now.
"Astute observation. However, you neglect to account for how many defenses I might actually have. Destroying one is like taking a single droplet of water out of an ocean. Sure you've reduced the amount of water, but none of the fish are going to notice whatsoever. Besides..." Suddenly Beastmistress would feel a familiar bolt of magical energy knocking into her, a strike she would be rather accustomed to because...
It was a bolt of magic cast by the very woman that had put her away the first time, Bolt Storm, who stood side by side with a redheaded woman wielding a bow.
"The easiest way to end a war of attrition is to just add more and more firepower to your own arsenal until you're victorious." At this point, someone on God's Hand might start wondering just how many heroes were actually walking this maze... Bolt Storm prepared some more magic spells, while her companion notched an arrow, aimed straight at Beastmistress for when she started moving.
"For Vanguard..." The mage said determinedly, having accepted that her companion was likely lost to her at this point, and wanting to take down one of the villains that she saw as responsible for that loss.
Finally... Cassandra and Gloria's encounter...
"Sister... I won't cut you any slack considering that you've lost your way... Perhaps once you embrace what you truly are again I'd be kinder to you, but until then..." The succubus commented, slightly hypocritical considering that she had joined up with the heroes willingly, suckling the energy some more before Gloria returned to the battle. Meanwhile, MM was taking note of how much trouble Cassandra seemed to have when it came to facing succubi, also noting that she was one herself, definitely very useful information. In her mind, MM ticked off 3/7, which was quite a bit of progress honestly. Unfortunately, with Gloria back, things seemed to change on the battlefield... annoying, but MM felt that there would be a way to handle this...
The succubus knew she stood no chance the moment that Gloria returned to the fight, already taking a few steps back, before MM spoke up.
"Demon... Head to storage WDX-12, there you will find a whip... I trust you know what it actually is..." "You don't mean... Oh damn... I made the right choice joining up with you guys!" Before Gloria could stop her, the Succubus would run down the hallway she came, a wall closing in behind her as she progressed.
"You're on a time limit now... Imagine... a succubus empowered by the aura of Leviathan, wielding the one and only whip of Asmodeus... along with... well... who knows what else I have hidden. That normal succubus will become quite a pain in the ass soon..." MM said, happy the Council had actually agreed to hold on to the whip rather than destroy it like they had with Leviathan's artifact.
MM rolled her eyes at more religious talk, the order to cease her blaspheming only making her want to continue further.
"God is dead? Pathetic. That which never existed in the first place can't 'die'. Besides, even if what you say is true, which it is NOT, I'd only find reason to thank Lucifer for killing a disgusting dictator. Your God is the most despicable creature that has ever been imagined, which is why I am beyond thankful that he never existed. And you following your imaginary monster of a God... you are just as disgusting as your fairy tale, and far FAR more evil than any 'Lucifer' that you fought." The android pushed, ready to insult 'God' at any turn, along with his followers that were doing things that she considered to be incredibly evil. In her office, while MM watched Gloria destroy the shield and android, feeling like she was being underestimated in exactly what she could and could not learn from a few simple observations... along with the conversations she had already heard. The android would be easily destroyed... only silencing the woman for a few moments before she began speaking over some speakers around Gloria.
"Fascinating... I think I've grasped certain things about your power but it's difficult to put into words... Judging by the readings I got from the shield and the android... I have two major theories, both of which are difficult to deal with. Negation, is the prevailing theory. That staff, or perhaps you yourself, are able to negate energy, which 'cuts off' whatever energy is being used against you. The shield and electricity in the android had been negated, making them purely useless against you... If true that is interesting... If false then I shall move on. The other major theory is that you invert the energy used against you, leading to the more power sent your way, the more you can throw back and reverse. Or perhaps it's just a case of you always being 'stronger' than that which attacks you... So many possibilities, but all that means is that further testing will be needed..." MM had many other theories, but that was the most she had currently, collecting information from everything she saw, using it to her advantage...
Now that Gloria was seemingly alone, MM took this time to return to the information gathering tactics she had taken at the very beginning of the invasion. At least 3 dozen robots would rush the area Gloria was in, firing regular bullets and laser rifles to test her defenses, and blocking her way to ensure that she would have to fight them to have a chance to proceed further.
"You are powerful, I am now moving you to roughly the same threat level as my old friend. You should take some pride in that, but apparently pride is evil if your good friend Lucifer is to be believed. Either way, I will stop you no matter the cost. Even if I must sacrifice lives to do it, your little group will NOT be victorious..."
While MM could certainly send heroes after Gloria, she still wanted to take more measure of her powers, so the remaining robots that were in the immediate area would take her on, transmitting data back to MM right up until they were destroyed, allowing her to take accurate readings of important things like energy levels, impact force, operating efficiency, and many other things that could become useful to her.
