Miss Justice is not motivated

"Hmm, I found it. I spotted that guy named Lord on the security camera near the water plant. Walking there is too slow, let's use the portal." Taking out her storage ring, the Automatic Scripture used both hands to make a gesture. Golden sparks formed a circle with the movement of her fingertips, and then the image of the water plant appeared within the circle.

"Oh! This must be magic from the Marvel universe!" Iris said with a smile as she walked in, with the Automatic Book following closely behind.

"Holy crap! This can't be fair!" Bai Aina, who had been maintaining her composure, couldn't take it anymore. How could she possibly just run all the way there like this? Without saying a word, the gray-haired girl rushed into the portal before Iris and the Auto Scripture could react.

"?!" The spells and energy pressed in her palms were almost unleashed, but she breathed a sigh of relief when Iris and the Automatic Scripture recognized her as Baina.

However, they didn't go directly into the water plant... they must have been interfered with by that muscular mage. It was definitely a trap. He couldn't help but smile wryly; the automatic book was utterly helpless against this kind of thing.

"What are you thinking... I almost attacked just now." Shifting his attention to Bona, the Automatic Secretary's expression was one of utter helplessness; for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Oh! It's Yi... no, it's Bai'ina!" After a moment of blankness, Yi finally managed to call out Bai'ina's name.

"I really want to smash your head in right now..." Looking at Irs's incredibly irritating expression, Bai'ina really wanted to slap him on the top of the head. "By the way, why didn't you two invite me along!"

"Because you're going to the water plant, how could we possibly bring a dangerous person like you along?"

"That's right. What if you poured some T-virus or Blacklight virus there? Would that be terrible?"

"You two... have you encountered something like this before?" After thinking carefully, Bai'ina understood the meaning behind Iris and the Automatic Scripture's words, and gained a new understanding of the depravity of the Reincarnators.

Pouring this highly contagious virus into the water plant might seem pointless, but it's not. Baina knows that if there were alchemical techniques to create Philosopher's Stones, this virus could be used to create a highly potent viral life form, thereby producing even more Philosopher's Stones.

If one's bloodline is inherently viral or devouring, they can even achieve a higher level of evolution by devouring viruses.

Even if it's the worst case scenario, a tech-savvy enhanced individual can still use this virus-release experiment to verify their technological achievements.

For them... there was nothing wrong with releasing the virus in this way.

Neither Iris nor the Automatic Secretary gave a direct answer; they remained silent. However, their dejected expressions made the answer clear to anyone.

"What are we waiting for! Let's go!" Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Aina took the lead and immediately headed towards the water plant.

"Let's stop them first." Iris nodded and chased after them.

The last automatic secretary sighed and patted its own face, as if wondering why it performed so much worse than that idiot.

Carrying the metal briefcase, though it wasn't heavy, Lord felt it was far heavier than any longsword or firearm he had ever handled before. What it contained wasn't like a knife or sniper rifle, capable of killing only one or a dozen lives; it could easily turn an entire city into a ghost town.

Getting into the water plant was not difficult for Lord; with his skills, bypassing the guards was a piece of cake, and he quickly entered his destination.

Killing with a longsword is indeed very easy, and killing with a sniper rifle is even more effective, eliminating enemies from afar. But now... all it takes is pouring the liquid from the transistor in the box into the city, and the entire city will be transformed.

The box didn't have a combination lock. Lord opened it, took out the transistor, and held it in his hand. All he had to do was unscrew the cap and drop it in, and it would all be over.

A jet-black Armament Haki covered his palm, and the transistor in his hand shattered in the middle. Pale blue liquid, carrying countless shards of glass, fell and was submerged in the vast torrent of water. Lord, watching all this,... showed no change in expression.

"Wait, you can take those modified vampires with you. This outing might also lure out those little bastards. The female corpse and I will follow behind you to ensure we can snipe them."

"Wait, even though I was transformed into a necromancer, that doesn't mean my codename should be 'Female Corpse,' that sounds awful."

"Stop complaining. Your original codename was Ruthless. Why not just call yourself Heartless?"

That's the end of it all. Looking at his hands, still covered in blue liquid, Lord gave a self-deprecating smile.

It feels... kind of pretty good.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Proud Cold

Besides the road leading to the water plant, there is also a large forest area nearby. The body of Bai Aina, who was running wildly on the concrete ground, was no longer covered by simple bone armor, but rather by hydroxyapatite. This is the outer layer of the tooth crown, composed of enamel and cementum, with a Mohs hardness of 6-7. Compared to human bone, which has a Mohs hardness of 3-4, it has a stronger foundation. After adjusting the density, it possesses greater defensive capabilities and is also much lighter than human bone.

By mixing bone shell with hydroxyapatite, not only was the hardness adjusted, but the original flexibility and ease of movement were also preserved.

Furthermore, after further adjustments, Bai Aina's legs became longer, and her spine became exceptionally flexible, like a spring capable of storing immense power. Her back also had a small, hill-like protrusion, though not particularly noticeable. More air holes appeared on her feet, wrists, and back, and her palms had obvious hollows. The long ears of her Battle Rabbit form were replaced with wing-like derivatives.

Besides these, there was a tail almost as long as her body, with limbs extending from the tailbone and sharp blades at the ends. Under the sunlight, the shimmering silver-white blades looked almost like metal.

Compared to the balanced Battle Rabbit form, Bai'na's current form has been finalized as Oz Flash... except for the pair of wings that don't quite fit.

"My vitality and tenacity are the strongest among the three, so I will go first. Iris and the Auto Scripture, I'll leave it to you two to adapt to the situation."

Has no one come yet? Or perhaps... this was originally a diversionary tactic? It wasn't that she hadn't considered this possibility, but for Bai Aina, this was not a reason not to come. She lowered her body, and her speed increased once again.

Oz Flash, moving at breakneck speed, stirred up a gust of wind that rustled the leaves on either side. By mimicking the movement of a cheetah, Beaune's speed was approaching the speed of sound, and she possessed even greater endurance. Her swaying blade tail helped her maintain balance while running, and the pores on her body could be used for heat dissipation.

"Such spirit... truly enviable." At the end of the road, a girl in a white robe walked by, her appearance terrifying, with a heavy iron box beside her. Her once lustrous, almost silky black hair was now dry and wavy. Her skin clung tightly to her bones, and her deeply sunken eye sockets made her look incredibly frightening.

The only things that remained unchanged were the dark blue longsword in her hand and her sharp, piercing eyes. Bai Qin's appearance surprised Bai Aina slightly; she hadn't expected him to change like this.

[Hostile target detected... Detection complete. No life energy. A large amount of negative energy is accumulating in the hostile target's body.]

[Negative energy? Has she transformed into some kind of undead? But judging from her eyes, she still seems rational.]

That feeling... is much sharper than before. Did I master some kind of secret technique these past few days? It shouldn't be...

Even so, Bai Aina had no intention of stopping. Her movement speed remained unchanged. She raised her hand, clenched her fist, and mobilized her Nen energy to condense in her palm. She then unleashed a palm wind that tore through the air and split the earth, sending a powerful shockwave straight towards Bai Qin in front of her.

"Hokuto Shinken Wave!" Although it was a technique imitated from the Nen of the Hunter x Hunter world, and was slightly inferior to the fighting spirit of the Fist of the North Star world, with the support of a massive amount of energy, Bai Ai Na still used her incredibly powerful Nen to propel the air, forming a visible shockwave that attacked her opponent from a distance of over a hundred meters.

"Beidou... Gang Zhangbo?" Faced with this attack that was powerful enough to crush skyscrapers, Bai Qin couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to herself that she had actually lost to such a delusional person.

There was no other way but to fight. Whether it meant death or whatever... Drawing her sword, Bai Qin activated the Ice Heart Technique, and felt a sense of calm wash over her. The numbness that had previously made her so anxious vanished.

A chilling glance! The first move of the Six Arts of Frost was unleashed. Bai Qin swung her blade, tracing a beautiful arc, the icy blade energy instantly shattering the palm strike. A layer of white frost immediately covered the concrete ground, and two ice walls rose on either side of her.

"Heavenly Sin!" The ferocious iron beast leaped out of the heavy iron box once again, and Heavenly Sin, with its body covered in sharp blades, pounced on Bai Aina.

"Mind your own business, get out of my way!" Without even glancing at the Heavenly Sin Beast, Bai Aina charged straight at Bai Qin. Nuen took control of the force field, unleashing a powerful orange-yellow repulsive force field, while the blade's tail swung through the air like a long sword, stabbing towards the ferocious iron beast's joints.

The Heavenly Sin Beast swung its body in mid-air and immediately reached out its claws to grab the blade's tail. However, the blade's tail, controlled by Nunn, was incredibly agile. Relying on the repulsive force field, it forcibly shifted its position, managing to avoid the incredibly accurate grab, and then smoothly cut towards the joint.

"Icebound Three Feet!" Instead of charging forward blindly, Bai Qin moved slightly backward while wielding her dark blue longsword. She used the sword's energy to wrap around a three-foot radius around herself, turning the energy into ice. The ice took shape and formed a three-foot-long ice wall covered with ice spikes, protecting her entire body.

"Fire Extreme Seven Heavens - Extreme Speed, Fist Flick!" Using both moves simultaneously, she raised both hands at the same time, and a burst of golden light shone everywhere. Bai Aina's hands turned into fists and slammed towards Bai Qin, who was standing behind the ice wall, like a Gatling gun firing.

The three-foot-high ice wall was instantly blasted to smithereens by the scorching fist force, countless fragments turning into steam and dissipating in mid-air. But Bai Qin was no longer behind the ice wall; at this moment, she was searching for a way to severely injure Bai Aina while fighting.

"Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow!" With a leap, Bai Qin soared into the air. Amidst the flashing blades and icy shadows, she adjusted her inner energy, tossing her dark blue longsword with a backhand motion. Then, using her legs to control the blade, it spun rapidly beneath her feet, instantly pushing aside the approaching ice shards. The dark blue blade, further controlled by her feet, slashed down towards Bai Aina's head.

Using a foot to wield a knife? Never seen anything like it. Bai Aina crossed her arms, and a layer of orange repulsive force field instantly covered her hands. She blocked the knife strike, which was wrapped in icy blade energy, with her arms. Then, a force suddenly shot outward. Relying on the principle of reactive armor used in tanks, the reactive force field automatically released kinetic energy outward after being impacted.

Under the influence of this kinetic energy, Bai Qin needed to use all her strength to control the sword with her feet to prevent it from flying away. In mid-air, she immediately hooked her foot to prepare to retrieve the dark blue longsword. But how could Bai Aina let things go as she pleased? The bulging sphere on her back suddenly cracked open, and a white exoskeleton hand with cartilage inside reached straight for the dark blue longsword.

Even if wielding a sword with one's feet is agile, it can't compare to the grappling of bone hands. With a twist of her body, Bai Aina forcefully snatched the dark blue longsword away.

"Good, this is what I've been waiting for. Cold Blade Ice Heart!" This is the final move in the Six Arts of Arrogant Cold, but this move no longer relies on the dark blue longsword.

Relying on the chilling energy drawn from the dark blue longsword, Bai Qin's body emitted an astonishingly cold aura at the critical moment. With the release of the Cold Blade Ice Heart Blade Technique, the chilling energy emanating from her entire body slashed out like a blade of energy!

Chapter Thirty-Seven says... it's time to go!

Relying on the combined power of the dark blue longsword and her own dual icy energy, Bai Qin unleashed a powerful Cold Blade Ice Heart strike, transforming it into an icy cone. Bai Aina, gripping the dark blue longsword in her skeletal hand, was momentarily immobilized. The icy energy from the blade penetrated her body, slowing her movements slightly.

But the next moment, Bai Qin's Cold Blade Ice Heart was unleashed. This icy blade aura froze from the inside out, starting from the smallest cellular level, and finally sealed Bai Aina completely within a thick layer of ice that was three zhang long, three zhang wide, and three zhang high.

"..." If she were still alive, Bai Qin would probably be panting from exhaustion by now, but as an undead, she no longer had that problem. Taking out the Goose Feather Blade from her storage space, she knew the battle was not over.

The Heavenly Sin Beast immediately jumped away and broke free. Instead of engaging Blade Tail and Nunn again, it became very agitated and scratched at the ground with its steel claws.

The hard concrete floor was as fragile as tofu under the steel claws of the Heavenly Sin Beast. Bai Qin looked at this iron beast and assessed her current physical condition. After her body was transformed into an undead, although she could still circulate her internal energy, she couldn't confidently recover her true energy. Her true energy was extremely limited; if she continued fighting…

She could only manage three more... no, one more move. One more and she wouldn't be able to hold on. Bai Qin's hand holding the goose-feather saber felt weak, and she had to grip the hilt even tighter.

First, check the body's damaged skills, then estimate what temperature would be needed to break through the ice layer on the body.

[The examination is complete. Multiple areas, including joints, cushioning tissues, and internal organs, have sustained mild frostbite. There is still some energy stored up...]

Fortunately, Bai Qin released a repulsive force field before her Cold Blade Ice Heart landed on Bai Aina, acting as a reactive armor for close protection. Although the freezing energy of the icy blade still penetrated her body through the force field, the damage was greatly reduced.

[Hmm, since Nen is still usable... I'll just use it as firewood!]

[Command received! Transmutation ability—Hundred Powers activated!]

During her time at the hotel, Baina wasn't idle; she successfully developed her first "emission." This was the product of perfectly combining Nen with a perfect biological physique, allowing her to use Nen as fuel to transform it into natural phenomena such as fire, ice, and lightning. While not particularly novel, it was extremely effective.

The second layer of repulsive force field formed reactive armor that adhered tightly to Bai Aina's body surface, with only the vent holes having openings. The next moment, a burst of Nen energy surged out from the openings, turning into scorching flames that eroded the thick ice layer.

"Fire Extreme Seventh Heaven! Flame Demon Awakening! Break!" A dazzling pillar of fire suddenly exploded from the ice layer created by Leng Ren Bing Xin. Looking at this pillar of fire soaring into the sky, Bai Qin felt only discomfort and helplessness.

Wei Xiang's instructions to Bai Qin were nothing more than to delay Bai Aina here, while he and Lord would lead the vampires and other controlled Stand users to surround and kill Ilse and the Auto Scripture.

Bai Aina, who can control others through spores, is incredibly powerful in group battles. Wei Xiang's tests revealed that even vampires can be corrupted by the spores that emanate from her. Therefore, he chose to use Bai Qin as cannon fodder to delay Bai Aina.

"This is troublesome... I don't know if I can do it." Stroking her chin, Bai Qin felt the texture had deteriorated considerably. She wasn't sure if it was because her skin was dry and shriveled, or if there was something wrong with the conductive system in her fingers.

Since she was already half-dead anyway, she might as well indulge herself. Gripping the goose-feather knife tightly, Bai Qin's pupils suddenly contracted as she watched the sound bursting out of the flames.

Claws shot out from the back of her hand, and Bai Aina engaged in close combat with Bai Qin at astonishing speed. The Heavenly Sin War Beast, which was standing by, still wanted to intervene, but was pushed aside by Nunn's manipulation of the force field wall, and was forced to repeat the same old routine.

The battle unfolded at extremely close range, with a dense and continuous clang of metal clashing between Bai Aina and Bai Qin, sparks flying everywhere. Thanks to her superior preemptive strikes, Bai Qin managed to hold her own against Bai Aina with her swordsmanship.

The goose-feather saber in her hand was naturally no ordinary weapon, and it wasn't so easily cut by the blade formed from the flow of light. However, what alarmed Bai Qin was that Bai Aina's speed and movements were much faster than before. In such close combat, the battle, which was pushed to the limit, almost made her breathless.

"It's really good, isn't it? You're enjoying this kind of battle too, aren't you?" She spoke out unexpectedly. Even though she was distracted by talking, Bai Aina's movements were still unwavering, and the lines drawn by her arms were smooth and beautiful.

"Yes, if I could, I really wouldn't want to die." With a wry smile, Bai Qin swung her blade backhand, deflecting Bai Aina's claws and sending them aside. In this situation, a direct confrontation would be too disadvantageous for her.

The Heavenly Sin Beast, which used to wreak havoc on the battlefield, was rendered helpless by the opponent... It was indeed unreliable, after all, it was just an inanimate object that could not use its own internal energy. With another light movement of her blade, Bai Qin parried the attack and gracefully retreated.

"What's wrong? Is it over here?" Bai Aina did have the idea of ​​learning more sword techniques, but now was not the time to end it.

"If this continues, I won't even have a single move left." Bai Qin called out to the Heavenly Sin Beast, summoning it back to her side. She raised her sword with one hand and said indifferently, "I can only say that I only have one move left."

"One move? Are we going to have to compare ultimate techniques now? I don't mind." Suddenly, a vast blue sea appeared beside Bai Aina. On the slightly rippling surface, a figure imbued with spiritual energy emerged from beneath the water.

“Power…form? I don’t think I’ve ever learned this kind of technique.” He lightly patted Tianzui beside him, and the ferocious iron beast that originally had the appearance of a wild beast was instantly shattered into countless sharp blades that flew and swirled in the sky.

Even without guidance, numerous components aligned, sorted, joined, and recombined on their own. Silently raising the goose-feather blade to the sky, countless components instantly joined together on the longsword in Bai Qin's hand, reassembling into a ferocious blade larger than her body, with the grotesque iron beast head positioned precisely at the hilt—this was the sword form of Tianzui.

It said...we can go in now!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Breaking the Heartbreak

As one of the four most powerful weapons in the "Storm Riders" series, the Heavenly Sin weapon is likely more than just a weapon capable of transformation and recombination. When transformed into swords, it can even amplify the user's power. In the original story, Tie Kuangtu, who had only rudimentary martial arts skills, fought against many masters without being at a disadvantage using the Heavenly Tribulation Armor and the Heavenly Sin weapon.

Holding the weapon formed from the Heavenly Sin in her hand, Bai Qin felt an unprecedented sense of security. Even the feeling of a gentle breeze blowing past her ear returned to her.

"You seem to be in good shape?" Noticing the hint of pleasure in Bai Qin's expression, Bai Aina lowered her body and noticed the Heavenly Sin Weapon in her hand.

"Not bad." With a slight grin, Bai Qin felt a sliver of confidence. Because only by wielding the Heavenly Sin Weapon and unleashing the move she had just learned... could she truly unleash her strongest attack.

Aside from low-level martial arts world sword techniques such as the Three Slashes of Broken Strings and the Bone-Scraping Sword Technique, Bai Qin's two strongest sword techniques are the Six Secrets of Arrogant Cold, which are replicated from the stone wall of Lingyun Cave in the world of "Storm Riders", and the Heartless Slash technique, which he "obtained" from Ba Dao in "The World's Number One".
