Miss Justice is not motivated

Watching the Earthly Divine Thunder still playing bumper cars, Bai Aina, carefully observing the alveoli within them, noticed that the shockwaves generated when these things collided were enough to disrupt the balance of this space. Visible ripples appeared in the void, like intense vibrations affecting the air, except there was no air here…

So, the Earth God Thunder should affect space itself, right? In fact, in this era where imagination has become cheap, theories like influencing space through vibration are not uncommon. For example, DC has a superhero named Shockwave, who can even sense vibrations and thus perceive things from other dimensions.

Want to give it a try? For ordinary people, this might be completely impossible. After all, generating vibration with the body is not an easy thing. In martial arts, there is a saying that exerting force at one point can cause vibration throughout the whole body. For example, striking the chest can affect the limbs, but that is far from a real vibration. It is just a way of using force.

In fact, the human body itself has organs capable of producing vibrations, namely the vocal cords. The airflow rushing out of the trachea and lungs constantly impacts the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate and produce sound. Sound itself is a phenomenon of vibration. Depending on the frequency, it can also produce low-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear, or generate sound waves and then perceive the surrounding environment by reflecting the sound back. These are all sonar systems that Baina once used.

Yes, it should be possible... With that thought in mind, Bai Aina closed her eyes and focused her mind on constructing special muscles.

[Requesting inclusion, muscle tissue reshaping in progress... Manufacturing initiated.] With Newn's mechanical voice prompting, Baina began reconstructing her body's muscles.

Originally, even if Baina wanted to create such special muscles, she wouldn't have been able to generate a sufficiently strong vibration due to insufficient strength. But now, thanks to the Shoggoth muscles, cartilage, blood, and other body tissues, her weakness in this area has been compensated for.

Her body was filled with special muscle tissue, which Baina continuously impacted with her Nen to create vibrations and increase the frequency.

It's not just about having a frequency; it can't spread out like the Earth God Thunder. The vibration wave must be concentrated at a single point. Recalling the super vibration waves of monsters in tokusatsu films, Bai Aina felt a strange sense of excitement.

But after only a short time, Bai Aina frowned. Compared to the Earthly Divine Thunder, the vibration frequency she generated was far inferior. To catch up with the Earthly Divine Thunder, she would probably have to spend a considerable amount of time figuring it out.

There's nothing we can do about it... Bai Aina, who was sitting cross-legged, didn't seem to have anything unusual about her, except that her body was trembling slightly and frequently.

From a certain perspective, this is a training exercise that kills two birds with one stone. Baina can use this exercise to hone her physical body, and she can also use this vibration as a future attack method, although it will take a considerable amount of time to hone it.

As the thunderous sound continued to be generated for a long time, the vibration frequency of the distant Earth Divine Thunder gradually slowed down, probably because the power stored there had been consumed to a certain extent, and it might stop completely soon.

However, it didn't matter to Bai Aina, since these kinds of magical artifacts usually had restrictions or similar enchantments, and they couldn't be used unless those restrictions were broken...

……

While Bai Aina was engrossed in her arduous training, New York City once again fell into a stalemate. Mu Xishuang, who had successfully banished Bai Aina, ceased her attacks and waited behind the scenes for the final day to arrive, but the other reincarnators would not let go of the opportunity to attack.

Elizabeth, in particular, once again summoned and created a large number of infected, launching attacks on Hydra's various branch bases. Although the heat-loving Shoggoths, a weapon capable of changing the course of the war, were no longer available, the Hydra tentacles could still operate underground and were quite powerful in destroying buildings and facilities.

As for the Goliath Titan… Elizabeth did order it to attack, but the thing was just too big; it was practically a sitting duck. Often, the moment it appeared on the battlefield, it would be blasted into roasted meat by the enemy's heavy firepower.

Relying on its modern mobile forces, superior firepower, and the assistance of troops transferred from other regions, Hydra, under Steve's command, successfully contained the infected to a certain extent and launched a pursuit.

On the battlefield, Radia always ventured deep into enemy lines alone, single-handedly annihilating large numbers of infected. Doflamingo, Zote, and He Sanjin had considered intercepting and surrounding her, but she always managed to escape before they could.

Latia, who possesses divine revelation, has an extremely keen sense of danger. Even Mu Xishuang would find it difficult to capture her; she would have to make extensive preparations and use magic to counteract the protection from the superior.

However, Mu Xishuang didn't want to kill her. She wanted to see how far Latia could grow under the influence of hatred. Killing her now, before she had reached her full potential, would not benefit Mu Xishuang at all.

Points and cards weren't particularly valuable to Mu Xishuang; her path had already been predetermined. As long as she cultivated step by step, one day she would become a god in the Chaos Court, worshipped by fervent believers.

Thus, with Mu Xishuang's passive resistance, the battle between the two sides continued in a stalemate. Until... Dana finally could no longer tolerate Alex's constant killing of the army protecting the citizens and his assistance in spreading the infection. She angrily left, only to be discovered by Hydra.

"It's time. I've been waiting for this show for a long time." Mu Xishuang squinted her eyes with delight. As she flipped through the books on weapon crafting, she had tolerated Dana's departure. This was the moment she had been waiting for.

Emotions, whether in weapon crafting or eating, are a key factor affecting the quality of the finished product. Mu Xishuang once consulted a master in this field within the [True Knowledge] battle group, NEO from "Toriko," who had devoured astronomical quantities and was considered a top expert in this area, and was still promoting his theories.

So, it's time to personally test the finished product to see if it's correct.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Fourteen Great Strategies for Protecting the Nation

In New York, the headquarters of Hydra, renamed after the merger of Blackwatch and Gentex, has been completed. On its top floor, a meticulously groomed, blond-haired Caucasian man in military uniform sits upright. His cold, stern face is not marked by the typical soldier's aura of menace, but rather by a pair of eyes that seem to connect to an unfathomable passage, deep and intimidating.

Sitting opposite the man was a bewildered young girl. Her short black hair made her look somewhat capable, but it couldn't hide her current panic.

Dana could do nothing now. Facing the man on the other side of the table, she had to be careful even when she was breathing. All she could do was pray that her brother wouldn't fall into this obvious trap and wouldn't come to save her, who was being used as bait.

“You don’t need to worry about your brother. We won’t hurt him unless necessary,” the blond man suddenly said, as if reading Dana’s prayer. “The Black Watch in your and Alex’s hearts is a thing of the past. Hydra will rise again in their place and bring a better world to it.”

Dana's lips moved, but she said nothing. The blond man before her was the one who had merged Blackwatch, a subsidiary of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and Gentex Pharmaceuticals, reorganizing them into an organization called Hydra, which was now in charge of handling the biohazard crisis in New York.

The rooftop door opened softly, and several super soldiers, each two meters tall and clad in Hydra's specially designed protective armor, stepped out. Compared to the Blackwatch's originally planned super soldiers, their physiques, while robust, were not bulky. Even an ordinary person like Dana could clearly sense the explosive power emanating from their bodies beneath the protective armor.

“Mr. Steve, we’ve sensed the prototype…” The leading super soldier didn’t finish his sentence. He stopped and stood at attention after seeing the blond man raise his hand.

A humanoid creature crashed onto the rooftop in a swooping motion. The violent shockwave rippled through the surrounding vegetation, and visible crimson shockwaves spread outwards like waves, creating an earthquake-like situation.

Seeing this, the super soldiers nearby immediately planned to rush up and teach this arrogant prototype a lesson with their strong legs, but Steve ordered them to stay put with a hand gesture.

"Brother!" Dana exclaimed in surprise. The potted plant that had been blown away was about to hit her, but before it reached her, it was pushed away with a crisp sound.

The potted plant that had been thrown into the air landed steadily on the ground. Steve withdrew his hand that had just been pushed out and simply watched the man stand up from the shockwave.

“You shouldn’t do this.” A deep voice rang out, and a young man wearing a black hood strode toward Steve.

Alex had initially assumed that Doflamingo and the others would successfully settle Dana for him, keeping her away from the turmoil caused by the DX-1118 virus. However, Blackwatch unexpectedly intervened, abducting Dana before they could act.

“That’s because if I don’t do this, we won’t have a chance to talk.” Steve calmly picked up the cup of red tea on the table and toasted Alex. “If you don’t mind, I hope you can calm down and then we can sit down and have a proper talk.”

"What's there to talk about? I don't think there's anything to talk about with scum like you!" As Alex spoke, his right arm was immediately covered by red and black threads. The virus, radiating a crimson light, manipulated the bio-energy unique to the infected, combining with cells to form a complex organic transformation reaction. The original biological tissue underwent multiple mutations, and his right arm was covered like a metal blade.

"All I can do is send you to your deaths!" After roaring, Alex leaped high into the air, expelling the air from his body and creating a secondary acceleration in mid-air, like the trail left by a supersonic aircraft. The infected creature, rushing towards Steve, left a thin red trail behind it. The blade on his right arm possessed excellent cutting power, and combined with his own agility, it could even cleave a heavily armored tank in two.

“Savage and lacking in intelligence, that is the most unacceptable trait of an intelligent life form. I can forgive him this time, Alex Mercer.” Steve, who had been sitting in the leather chair, stood up, and all the super soldiers held their breath.

Because Steve was the strongest among them, and he defeated the special infected He Sanjin, and obtained his virus source from the commoners, allowing Hydra to successfully create a super soldier body that was even better than the original.

This is not the reason he is respected, but merely one of many great achievements. The reason these soldiers, who have earned numerous medals on the Iraqi battlefield and undergone biochemical modifications, hold him in such high esteem is simply this:

That is, Steve, who possesses power surpassing that of these super soldiers.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, tearing through the fabric and making a ripping sound as clothes snapped. Alex realized that the man was now standing in front of him, the blade on his right arm slicing forward as if on a preordained trajectory.

"Thunderous Annihilation - Torpedo Finger!" Unleashing unparalleled destructive power, Steve lightly tapped the blade handed to him by Alex with his finger, mimicking the attack of a gunpowder explosion. The movement was incredibly gentle, far less domineering than the name of the move suggested, as if it were merely a name without substance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Like dozens of RPG rockets exploding inside his body, Alex experienced dozens of explosions within his body. The immense force of his finger strikes instantly tore apart his internal organs, and the surging aftershocks continued to erupt like a tidal wave, each explosion sending him flying even higher into the air. In just a second, he was blasted fifty meters into the air, countless biological tissues mimicking the virus flying everywhere with the explosions. His right hand, which had mutated into a blade, was shattered into countless fragments with Steve's gentle touch.

Without turning his head, Steve sat back in the leather seat and gently wiped his finger, which had just been poked out, with a tissue.

With a thud, Eric, like a rag doll that had been broken by a child, was thrown from the sky to the ground, splattering a large amount of blood.

Dana, standing nearby, cried out and tried to rush over to see how her brother was doing, but a super soldier next to her pressed her down on her seat with one finger and she couldn't move.

Taking a small sip of the black tea offered by the super soldier, Steve, without any airs, looked at the bloodied and mangled Alex and asked...

"Now, have you calmed down, Alex Mercer? Would you be willing to sit down and have a proper talk with us?"

Although Steve appears to be focused on Alex, he is actually reminiscing about his past in another world.

Because of that man named Lian Tianhao, Hydra devoted all its energy to the vast universe. They were also greatly inspired by his battle with Thor, and watched the fifteen-minute videotape thousands of times.

It was in that videotape that Steve realized the path that was most suitable for him.

Welcome to True Knowledge [China]

Mu Xishuang took a card from the hand of the Laughing Bat and turned it over. The card depicted Robin Hood in green, a free-spirited man with a hearty smile, his signature goatee adding to his approachable charm.

Green Arrow...? Although she wasn't familiar with these superheroes, Mu Xishuang, who had read the comic "Righteous Seas and Ups and Downs," was still very interested in this character.

Just as Mu Xishuang was about to ask what this chewing gum, who had been expelled from the Justice League along with Martian Manhunter in N52, represented, the Laughing Bat had actually disappeared while she was looking down.

Is this a card reading? If so, what does this card represent? Does it mean doing whatever you want? The hunter? Mu Xishuang looked at the Robin Hood on the card, somewhat puzzled.

Although she couldn't understand the Laughing Bat's behavior, Mu Xishuang put away the cards in her hand and then headed towards the team's base.

Working as a receptionist at the warband's base was an extremely tedious job, and with so many eccentric people in the True Knowledge Sect, even if Mu Xishuang wanted to strike up a conversation, it was difficult to find anyone willing to do so. To avoid this, she would often bring along books to pass the time.

Unfortunately, when Mu Xishuang arrived at the front desk, someone was already sitting there. She was wearing a top that looked like it was made of countless butterflies, but beneath the openwork fabric was a girl's delicate body. She wore only one black stocking with yellow petal-like decorations, and the witch's hat on her head was decorated with yellow bows and a teddy bear. Behind her was a huge black iron key hanging.

But more striking than her attire was a keyhole on her forehead, above her ruby-like eyes.

"Good morning, Abigail." Mu Xishuang greeted her casually, having a certain understanding of this companion who had joined the [True Knowledge] battle group at the same time as her.

The "Typical Earth General History No. 1" in the Source Terminal records that in the late 17th century, in Salem, a village pioneered by Puritans, the "Witch Trial" occurred. One of the girls who first showed signs of demonic possession was Abigail Williams.

As for Mu Xishuang, she did not have such an honor. Before becoming a reincarnator, she was just a girl who knew a little about Taoist arts.

With her eyes closed, Abigail was communicating with an all-knowing Outer God in the Realm of Oblivion. She only glanced at Mu Xishuang, who was greeting her, before closing her eyes again and ignoring her, as if she was going to sit in the chair all day.

With a sigh, Mu Xishuang knew that if anything happened today, she would probably have to handle it all by herself. Her sense of responsibility as a member of the battle group prevented her from slacking off like Abigail; it was troublesome, but that was the only way.

Opening "Atypical and Non-Useful Dimensional History No. 156348," Mu Xishuang began to read it carefully. These historical records, born from the ultimate will, documented the histories of other worlds. Compared to novels, books that recorded emperors, generals, or strange tales from different worlds interested her more, and they were also a good way to pass the time.

For example, the book in Mu Xishuang's hands tells the story of an unparalleled powerhouse named Killer Whale who, after unexpectedly gaining memories of the future, severed his previously somewhat indecisive emotions and embarked on an incomparably powerful path to domination.

Seeing someone who was originally a bit fussy transform into such a domineering person, crushing her former rivals, was quite interesting to Mu Xishuang.

However, this leisurely time did not last long, as three beams of light descended from not far away. Mu Xishuang and Abigail's Book of Reincarnation appeared simultaneously and automatically turned to a certain page. However, the latter was still in a state of communion with the outer gods and was completely unaware of the situation outside. Helpless, Mu Xishuang had no choice but to stand up.

Within the pillar of light appeared three people with different expressions: two men and one woman. They had all voluntarily joined [True Knowledge] and applied to serve as logistical personnel for the construction of the story world.

Mu Xishuang tucked her Book of Reincarnation under her arm and walked over, sizing up the three people as she went. The leader, a young man with black hair and wearing a black robe, introduced himself very enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is Jie Xian."

After introducing themselves, Jie Xian turned around and pointed to the thin, gray-haired boy and the girl with long, straight black hair in a sailor uniform, saying, "This is Ge Kong, a Reincarnator from the Martial Arts side. This is Zhang Qingyan, who is now considered a newcomer with basic swordsmanship skills."

The two greeted Mu Xishuang one after the other, and the three stars above their heads clearly indicated their strength.

Nodding silently, Mu Xishuang took out the Book of Reincarnation again to look at it, then frowned and said, "When you made the reservation, there were only two of you, right? Why are there three of you now?"

Seemingly having been asked a sensitive question, Jie Xian said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Ge Kong only decided to join here on a whim... We at Eagle Feather Academy discussed it for a long time, but in the end, we decided to go our separate ways."

So that's how it is. They've broken up, huh? Mu Xishuang glanced at the three of them, pondering the rules and regulations of the battle group, and then sighed.

"Pointing at soldiers, pointing at thieves, whoever you point at becomes a soldier, whoever you point at becomes a thief." After silently reciting the rhyme in her heart, Mu Xishuang's finger stopped on Ge Kong. Under the puzzled gaze of those who understood, she spread her palm flat and slowly pushed forward.

A murderous aura shone from his palm, and thirteen of the thirty-six clusters of Xuanwu True Qi from the middle of his body burst forth, their azure light swirling and hissing as they pierced the air! Before Ge Kong could even comprehend what was happening, his neck was severed by the azure-green blade energy, and his head, filled with confusion and fear, flew into the sky with the force of the rushing blood.

As natural as breathing and as easy as drinking tea, Mu Xishuang's expression remained unchanged, still showing her disdain for the trouble.

Compared to the composed Mu Xishuang, Jie Xian was completely unable to accept the current situation. Stimulated by the death of his companion, countless fine emerald scales sprouted on his skin, and he hysterically roared, "What have you done! Why did you kill him!"

"Isn't that obvious? The battle group only needs two people to be tested, but you three came. Of course I have to kill one of them, right?" With a matter-of-fact expression, Mu Xishuang's expression was not at all calm, but still as relaxed and carefree as ever.

"You...you...you could have just said something! Why did you have to kill him!" Completely unable to comprehend Mu Xishuang's thought process, how could Jie Xian possibly accept her explanation? A life for a life, it's a matter of course, it's the simplest of truths.

Recalling her past with Ge Kong, including memories of watching the stars together at night, Jie Xian's face turned pale, and her physical transformation worsened.

"You're a reincarnator, right? You should be prepared for death, shouldn't you? Isn't it normal to pay the price for what you've done?" Mu Xishuang said lazily, looking at the boy in front of her with great interest. She had calmed down now.

"You're talking nonsense!" He swung his arm violently at Mu Xishuang, his scale-covered hand instantly splitting apart, his five fingers transforming into long, sticky tentacles, each with countless suckers, coiling towards Mu Xishuang's neck. "I don't believe your nonsense! Die! Heavenly Regret Palm!"

"Boring, Death Finger." Extending her finger towards the Trap-Clearing Finger, a dark red beam of light shot out from Mu Xishuang's hand. The lightning-like energy ray struck his chest, and a massive amount of negative energy erupted instantly, forcibly stopping all of his physiological functions. His major organs, including his brain and heart, were completely corroded in just one second, extinguishing all his life force.

With a look of resentment and anger, the body that had been freed collapsed to the ground. Even if the Heavenly Regret Divine Art could repair his body, it could not heal his soul, which had been shattered by negative energy.

Having killed two people in less than two minutes, Mu Xishuang seemed to find nothing amiss. She turned to Zhang Qingyan, and after confirming that he didn't seem to have any intention of seeking revenge, she nodded and said, "Congratulations on joining the [True Knowledge] battle group."

After glancing at the two corpses lying to the side, Zhang Qingyan, with a cold expression, asked, "Why did you kill them?"

“Hmm? I already explained the reason for this kid's actions, so I won't repeat it.” Mu Xishuang said, pointing at the gray-haired boy, and then added, “It’s called ‘Eliminating the Trap,’ right? Actually, I didn’t intend to kill him at first, but he tried to use violence, so I acted in self-defense.”
