Miss Justice is not motivated

In the Toei Animation version of *Shinobi: The Divine Child*, Fugaku Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he never demonstrated any special eye techniques. However, He Sanjin, who took Fugaku's eyes, knew perfectly well what eye techniques each possessed: the mental Tsukuyomi and the physical Takemikazuchi. The former is self-explanatory, while the latter unleashes terrifying lightning attacks wherever the eyes look, essentially a lightning version of Amaterasu.

Originally, controlling and shaping Takemikazuchi would require a similar eye technique to Kagutsuchi, as such abilities are extremely difficult to shape. However, He Sanjin took a different approach. In the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, he learned the four major control techniques, including the advanced lightning control technique of fire control. Relying on his powerful mental strength, comparable to a supernatural power, he successfully controlled Takemikazuchi, allowing it to be shaped into a lightning sword.

Although the name "Spring Thunder Strike" was only borrowed, He Sanjin was very confident... This sword strike was no weaker than the Spring Thunder Strike of the Purple Thunder Saber Technique!

The Tengu warrior who wields lightning is as majestic as a god at this moment. The Susanoo, which is named Susanoo-no-Mikoto, represents destruction. The lightning sword in its hand is enough to cut down all things (the myriad phenomena of the universe), and its power is comparable to that of the tailed beasts.

The white clouds in the sky suddenly froze, and the next moment the dark clouds dispersed, and a longsword of lightning, like a laser beam, crashed down with a speed comparable to real lightning. Steve only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the attack from Susanoo fell from above his head.

Although it was a sunny day and not a thunderstorm, merely using the power of the heavens to enhance the power of the spring thunder, He Sanjin was very confident that in terms of single-target damage, Susanoo's Takemikazuchi was far superior to the Tailed Beast Ball. This seemingly simple sword strike had all its power locked inside the blade, and if it were to strike down, its power would be comparable to being hit head-on by a nuclear bomb.

Before Steve could dodge in mid-air, he was struck head-on by the Spring Thunder Strike and was completely engulfed in the torrent of lightning.

Steve's close-quarters combat was incredibly powerful, even surpassing Bai Aina's. He Sanjin had suffered from this before, so he knew very well that his opponent was a martial artist who only focused on physical training and had no chance of blocking this sword head-on!

But the next moment, He Sanjin's expression changed, and conspicuous blue veins bulged on both sides of his eyes. Relying on the vision of his white eyes, he could clearly see a figure using his knees and elbows to firmly restrain the lightning sword, which was larger than a bus.

Not only that, Steve was not reduced to ashes in the torrent of lightning. Instead, an extremely strong aura erupted from his body, an aura and presence that was just like that of a real monster!

Just as removing the body's restraints allowed a god to reappear in the world, Steve unleashed an astonishing aura.

A gigantic, terrifying monster appeared on Steve's body, as if it embodied nine different elements: war, faith, technology, martial arts, transformation, progress, self-righteousness, evil, and the pursuit of knowledge. Its nine completely different heads held back the falling lightning sword, resisting the terrifying sword strike swung by the Tengu Samurai.

Only then did this enormous monster reveal its true form: a nine-headed serpent, a mixture of biological scales, metal armor, warship armor, and flesh and muscle. As if encompassing the beliefs of countless living beings, the blood dripping from the nine-headed serpent was completely humanoid, yet as it was about to dissipate, it would nourish the nine-headed serpent.

This is the martial arts intent that Steve formed by combining all his experiences with nine martial arts techniques, including the Fourteen Great Masters of the Nation, the Military Way Killing Fist, Liangshan Martial Arts, and Jiro's Anesthesia Technique. The nine-headed serpent that soared into the sky held its own against the violent spring thunder, and it did not lose ground.

"How the hell is this possible?!" He Sanjin couldn't help but curse, his eyes streaked with blood and tears from activating Takemikazuchi. Steve seized the opportunity, unleashing the Nine-Headed Serpent to tear apart the lightning sword and pounce on the Tengu Samurai's true form.

"Invincible Battleship Fist!" Driven by blood energy far exceeding the level 12 Enhanced Impact, Steve's blood energy surged into the sky like smoke, unleashing a terrifying attack more than ten times stronger than the main cannon of a battleship, which directly shattered Susanoo.

"Pfft!" He Sanjin, who was hit head-on by the Invincible Battleship Fist, was covered in blood and flesh, but before he was turned into mincemeat, he used his Qi Control Technique to push Alex away.

"Wait!? You?!" Despite his very mixed feelings about He Sanjin, Alex couldn't bear to watch him die.

“It’s alright, I still have the strength to fight again…” He Sanjin watched Alex being pushed into the distance, his eyes sharpened… and then he released the Mist Concealment Technique.

The highly corrosive mist spread rapidly, but Steve easily dispersed it with a punch. Taking advantage of this opening, He Sanjin tore open a teleportation scroll and fled.

"Did they escape...?" Steve sighed and straightened his clothes helplessly. He looked at the mess of buildings behind him and thought that it was fortunate there were no casualties. It was indeed necessary to evacuate the crowd in advance.

"Captain." Frank, clad in War Machine armor, landed slowly on the ground. He frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene around him. "Dr. Zola has successfully developed the space anchor device, which can function within a certain range. However, the device itself is very fragile and probably cannot be used in combat."

“I know.” With a helpless sigh, Steve looked at the city that was exactly the same as his hometown. Instead of feeling proud, he felt a pang of sorrow.

Frank remained silent. He knew perfectly well that while the captain was ruthless towards enemies, he was also extremely protective of his own and possessed a high moral standard. If he had orchestrated this incident, Alex would have been killed by the White Light vaccine long ago.

Although Steve is now ruthless and resourceful compared to his time as the flag bearer, his inherent kindness and indecisiveness still influence him, albeit not as severely.

“Let’s go back. We need to discuss this with Miss Latia. The enemy is clearly preparing to launch a large-scale offensive.” It was already the seventh day. Steve didn’t understand what Mu Xishuang was trying to do by staying in seclusion behind the scenes, but whatever she wanted to do, he wouldn’t let her succeed.

As for He Sanjin, Zote, Doflamingo... none of them could escape.

Chapter Forty-Three: The Old Mother Reports

He fell to the ground in a sorry state, experiencing the pain he hadn't felt in a long time. The Nine Serpent Fist's intent destroyed his body at a microscopic level, causing large sections of his body tissues to collapse and cease functioning. As they died, they also continued to necrotize. Even the pain directly affected his soul, making it impossible to avoid by severing nerve sensations.

"Ugh...!" Never in his wildest dreams did He Sanjin expect that Steve had even cultivated martial arts intent. He activated his Mangekyou Sharingan again and cast Tsukuyomi on himself. Relying on the spiritual power amplified by his bloodline limit, he spent a great deal of effort to successfully dismantle the fist intent that had been injected into his body, and collapsed weakly to the ground.

"..." Zot and Doflamingo watched this scene in silence. Each of them had their own methods to remotely observe the battlefield. However, Steve's combat power was too exaggerated; he could completely control the entire battle by himself.

At least neither Zot nor Doflamingo would likely perform better than He Sanjin in a one-on-one fight against Steve. In particular, Zot's necromancy is completely ineffective against the Qi and Blood Element martial artist's Qi and Blood Element attacks and martial intent.

As for Doflamingo... he lacks the courage and doesn't think he should take the risk, since he only needs to ensure that the infected forces are not completely eradicated.

Alex, who had rushed back to the underground passage, also went up nervously. He looked at He Sanjin, who had fainted from the pain, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"It's alright, he won't die." Mu Xishuang, who had been watching from the side, smiled. She knew that He Sanjin looked like he had fainted, but his self-defense mechanism had not failed.

"You...!" Staring intently at Mu Xishuang, Alex couldn't suppress the surging anger within him. It simply wouldn't make sense for Dana, an ordinary person, to have escaped this underground labyrinth without the other's help.

"Don't look at me like that... I've already said I'll be watching until the very last day." Mu Xishuang shrugged, fully aware of Alex's anger, but even if he knew, so what? Could he really openly break ties with her?

“If…if you’re willing to make a move…” Looking at Zote, Doflamingo, and Mu Xishuang, Alex had reached his limit of patience with these guys who were hiding in the back and refusing to make a move. A red aura flickered on his body.

That's right. If this group hadn't been hiding and refusing to attack, Hydra would have been defeated long ago, and He Sanjin wouldn't be in this state now.

Zot raised an eyelid but said nothing. In his eyes, Zot was just a native, utterly unnecessary to talk to. Doflamingo, on the other hand, shook his head in disappointment. Alex had clearly acted too impulsively, trying to provoke a verbal confrontation in such a weak position, especially against someone stronger than him…

"I will intervene, but only on the final day." Looking down into the seemingly endless underground passage, she saw countless small automated robots still at work. Mu Xishuang was quite satisfied with the current situation. She had also confirmed the stability of the alternate dimension created by the Anti-Membrane Bandits from the Xia Gai insectoid's unique perspective, and the result…

Very stable, Bai Aina obviously did not have any attacks targeting space types, and was unable to shake the alternate space created by the Anti-Membrane Bandits.

"..." Staring intently at Mu Xishuang, Alex's entire body cracked with a series of sounds, but to Zot and Doflamingo, it looked like a cat bristling in response to a tiger. It was less of a show of force and more of a way to ensure he wouldn't collapse.

In that case... there shouldn't be any problem. Extending her slender hand from her sleeve, Mu Xishuang still felt something was amiss, so she prepared to use her fingers to calculate the future.

"Actually, I have a way to bring Dana back for you." After doing some quick calculations, Mu Xishuang's eyes lit up, and she said quietly.

Now is indeed a good time. If we don't do this now, when He Sanjin wakes up, he will definitely protect Alex like he would protect a chick.

"..." Although he didn't answer, anyone could see Alex's 'distrust' of Mu Xishuang.

With a faint smile, Mu Xishuang said nothing more, then withdrew her hand from her sleeve. She walked into the dark cave and disappeared into the darkness.

……

Within the alternate dimension created by the Anti-Membrane Bandits, Bai Aina had ceased her rapid vibrations. Instead, a different kind of light appeared on her body, a soft and restrained light that radiated outwards subtly without being excessively emitted.

Is this... my Stand? Examining the thin layer of light surrounding her, Baina manipulated it to take shape. The flickering light coalesced into a human form—a blonde girl with braids, her expression somewhat dazed.

Is she a girl? It doesn't seem that strange. Baina had already accepted this strange setting and directly let Nunn take over control of the Stand.

[Command accepted, taking over authority... encountered unknown resistance, takeover failed.]

Wait a minute? There's still resistance? Bai Aina tiptoed in surprise and touched the Stand's face. The Stand reacted and let out a soft hum.

[Warning: Unknown life form detected approaching. Please take basic precautions.]

Despite the warning from Nunn in her mind, Baina ignored it.

"Po...Bai...Ai...Na?" The girl tilted her head, as if hesitating about something, and finally slowly opened her arms to hug Bao Bai Aina.

"Why did it have to turn out like this???" Although Bai Aina had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, she still couldn't help but want to complain.

[Main body access initiated, calculation mode calibration in progress... calibration complete, substitute Lambda Λ-11 successfully online, detected in unknown space, countermeasure #1 deployed, retrieval complete. Inner Reflection activating... activation complete, operation commenced.]

Is this really my Stand...? It suddenly activated its abilities for me, and what's with the first countermeasure? Is there a second or third countermeasure? Bai Aina thought about how she had just given the Stand a personality, so...

Could it be because of that personality? After thinking for a long time, Baina decided to hand over all the initiative to Lambda and watch from the sidelines.

No matter what, your own stand-in... surely wouldn't harm you, right?

【…】

Chapter Forty-Four: Reflections of the Heart

The so-called "Stand" is the spiritual projection of the "Stand user (i.e., the original body)". "Stand" means "Stand by Me". They usually have special abilities, and these abilities usually reflect the original body's desires or some kind of strong emotion.

At this moment, Bai Aina awakened her Stand in the alternate dimension created by the Anti-Membrane Bandits. If there was anything she desired now... it was undoubtedly to escape from this damned place. She already felt intense displeasure with this place.

An invisible wave spread out, ripples echoing throughout this small, otherworldly realm. Bai Aina stood motionless, yet she could feel something distinctly new within her body, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Immediately afterwards, the originally pitch-black alternate dimension was stained with a pure gray, the same color as Bai Aina's hair. A blonde girl stood in front of her, her ahoge (a strand of hair sticking up and down) bobbing on her forehead, her expression showing obvious confusion.

"This child... was she born prematurely, and now she seems to have some brain problems?" Bai Aina, who had originally planned to have a chat, saw Lambda's appearance and wondered if her actions of catalyzing the creation of the Stand had indeed affected Lambda's intelligence.

No, a Stand doesn't necessarily have intelligence, it's just a personality you created yourself... Is there anything wrong with that? Bai Aina felt troubled again when she thought about this, but she still pressed their foreheads together and communicated telepathically.

For Baina, doing this was not difficult. After all, Lambda was a personality she created. Although she had no way to train, her mental strength was still quite excellent, so she could easily read the memories and information in the Stand.

"—" So that's how it is. This Stand... is it my mental manifestation? Bai Aina instantly understood her Stand ability: a tiny, extremely small alternate dimension. Unlike Reality Marble, which manifests one's mental landscape, her Stand was closer to the Kamui alternate dimension possessed by Byakugan of the Divine Child Ninja.

Lambda is the central hub of this alternate dimension, essentially the control center. What she just did was manipulate the alternate dimension created by the bandit who eroded the membrane through the reflection of the heartbeat, ultimately increasing the originally tiny size of the alternate dimension.

Unlike the hundred-meter-wide alternate dimension created by the anti-membrane bandits, Bai Aina's mental reflection was now only a few dozen meters in size. She wasn't quite sure why; was it due to the conversion ratio?

Hmm... this conversion is a bit unreasonable, only a few dozen meters? Can it be used as a storage space? Then, how do I get back? Bai Aina didn't want to encounter the dimensional turbulence that appears in novels. Although her physical body is tough now, it is only limited to the physical level. If she encounters those dimensional turbulence, she will probably be directly torn to pieces.

But this place… let’s just call it the Reflection Space. Baina patted Lambda, pulled her back into her body, and began exploring.

I wonder if this will affect my physical condition. Reaching the edge of the reflection in her heart, Bai Aina felt as if she had reached the end of the world. She gently placed her hand on the hazy, curved surface and then closed her eyes.

Is this... a world barrier? Although the Reflection Space is a small place, it has a genuine world barrier. This is the fundamental reason why Baina's Stand will not be completely integrated with the outside world. Without this barrier, Lambda, as the Stand, would be completely embedded in the material world and could not be separated.

As the ruler of the Reflection Space, Beaune can freely set the permissions of the World Barrier, determining whether other people or things can enter, or to a certain extent, release the Stand power that restrains this world, allowing it to invade other spaces.

It is worth mentioning that the world barrier possessed by Baina has a density. She can clearly feel that the density of the world barrier in the reflection space is completely consistent. Theoretically speaking, she can strengthen the density of a certain place by weakening the density of another place.

So-called spatial slashes are attacks that create extremely high intensity but have very limited energy and range, thereby tearing apart space with uniform density? Then... if we increase the spatial density in a certain area in response to this spatial slash, can we still tear apart space? Bai Aina used this to deduce some principles of dimensional slashes and spatial rifts, thinking about how to deal with them in the future, and then pressed her hand hard on the world barrier.

As if passing through a thin curtain of water, Baina's clone emerged and was the first to step out of the world barrier. Unexpectedly, this clone appeared directly in a corner of New York City, where the streets were deserted.

It appeared directly in the city? Instead of high in the sky? And the location was different from when it entered? The clone looked around and relayed the information back to the main body.

“Okay, sure!” Bai Aina immediately followed and came out. She looked around and noticed a calendar hanging in a convenience store.

Six days have passed? It's the ninth day now... The time is close to three to one. Bai Aina has been in the Anti-Membrane Bandit's alternate dimension for a full thirty days. Although she couldn't undergo a more thorough transformation due to a lack of energy, she still completed many theoretical tasks during those thirty days.

Deducing organ structure, simulating usage, eliminating incorrect options... body modification is no easy task, especially when energy use is restricted.

Given enough time, Baina will be able to create the body organs she wants, so... she needs to keep a low profile.

The woman who used the anti-membrane technique to control her still had many hidden cards up her sleeve. Bai Aina could sense that her opponent had a whole host of cards up her sleeve, and charging in head-on was not a wise choice.

After throwing all the items from the storage card into the reflection space, Bai Aina stood on the ground, but at this moment she had a different feeling.

Because of the vibration mode developed by Bai Aina in the Anti-Membrane Bandit, she has become more sensitive to changes in force. Right now... she can clearly feel the immense kinetic energy generated by the planet beneath her as it rotates.

If she could use this kinetic energy as leverage for an attack... that's what she thought, but Bai Aina knew very well that she was still far from perfect. She was still quite far from perfect energy dissipation, let alone being able to borrow planetary kinetic energy.

Chapter Forty-Five: Summoning the Evil God

After creating the alternate dimension from the anti-membrane bandits, Bai Aina patted her forehead and separated several clones from her body, sending them to various power plants to absorb electrical energy and convert it into biological energy for storage.

Thirty days is neither a long nor a short time. But it's enough for Bai Aina to undergo earth-shattering changes. If she were to encounter Mu Xishuang again... well, she still wasn't confident of victory, after all, the other party didn't seem like a kind person at all.

Having found the shop was already closed, Bai Aina discovered that there was still quite a bit of meat inside. She simply brushed it with sauce and various seasonings, then stuffed it all into the oven.

Although a normal diet like this could no longer provide Bai'na with much energy, she was still very happy to eat. As for why... of course, it was because eating felt really good, much more enjoyable than simply sucking.

As she devoured the high-calorie food, Bai Aina felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. The feeling of not having eaten meat for thirty days now evoked an unprecedented deliciousness; the ingredients were just ordinary things, but…
