Miss Justice is not motivated

Chapter Twenty-Two: Let's go eat barbecue!

Saints represent a rare strategic nuclear weapon in the magical realm; a single one is enough to defeat an army, and a single rider can crush a magical guild. They are truly iconic top-tier combat forces. Kanzaki Kaori, as one of them, stubbornly withstood the attack from Bai Ai Na that was powerful enough to turn a battleship into scrap metal.

Moreover, with the Godslayer Mode activated, her combat power increased once again. Kanzaki's speed and strength at this moment completely surpassed that of Beaune at this stage. Even with the help of the Dead March and the power of the Heroic Spirits, she could only slow down the time of defeat at most.

If it were the current version of Beaune, she would indeed lose... However, that fragment of Gungnir resonated strangely with the power of the Valkyries. With the completion of the power from the Mythical Phase, the original fragment was fully formed at this moment.

It wasn't based on the original Gungnir. With the help of information provided by the Book of Dimensions, the fragment combined with Valkyrie's power and transformed into the most suitable mode by extracting energy from the phase.

The fragments swiftly transformed into the gun barrel, its shape formed by countless intertwined steel roots centered around the ash tree shaft. Not only was the spearhead nowhere to be seen, but it even vaguely resembled the characteristics of a completely different weapon like a sword or axe. This weapon, almost creating a visual illusion, seemed to stir restlessly like a living creature, coiled around the ash tree shaft like a snake.

But the next moment, the twisted spear exploded, turning into countless flying fragments that adhered to the rainbow-colored aurora armor and merged into it.

The original iridescent Aurora Armor underwent a transformation. The iridescent color, formed by the fusion of various hues, was gradually purified, and even the coverage rate of the full-body armor level was gradually decreasing. Under the influence of the Gungnir fragments, the Aurora Armor transformed into a half-body armor with a bright white base and yellow accents, and a white silk scarf tied up the girl's gray hair.

The name of the card has also changed, from "Valkyrie Who Wants to Get Married" to "Gear Gungnir Modified," and the number of uses has not decreased.

"!" Kanzaki was slightly surprised by Bai Ai Na's sudden change, but her longsword did not hesitate at all, its sharp blade still slashing straight at the area covered by the armor. Even at this moment, she still had no intention of killing her opponent.

"Racket Charge!" Her gauntlets deformed and thickened, as if a trigger had been pulled. Bai Ai Na drew a semi-circle with her left foot, shifted her upper body slightly backward, and thrust out with her right hand like a cavalryman wielding a lance, directly clashing with the long sword swung by Kanzaki.

In an extreme clash, their attacks collided head-on. Bai Ai Na didn't fight to the death; instead, she retreated, following Kanzaki's sword-wielding motion. The thickened gauntlet on her right hand showed no trace of the Seven Days Seven Swords' strikes, demonstrating a hardness several times greater than before.

Having failed in her first attack, Kanzaki didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately sheathing her sword and focusing her mind. She closed her eyes in preparation for her final strike, and as Aina retreated, she slowly opened her clear eyes one last time.

Unlike Behaina who uses cards, Kanzaki's God-Slayer state cannot be maintained for long, so she needs to finish the battle quickly.

"My Style: Fierce Tiger Kick!" Facing Kanzaki who was trying to catch up, Bai Ai Na knew that dragging it out would be more advantageous for her. So she slightly rotated her body, swept her right foot out, and stirred up a gust of orange tiger-shaped wind as she roared and pounced on Kanzaki.

But Kanzaki didn't even draw his sword; he merely stared coldly at the hasty counterattack, his intense mental pressure directly disintegrating the gale.

This is something we can't afford to be careless about... Bai Aina's eyes widened as she stared intently at Kanzaki's movements. Her opponent had already closed to within two meters of her; at this distance, a two-meter-long command sword could easily strike her vitals.

There was no room for retreat, nor any chance to delay any longer. Since that was the case... Bai Aina's right hand armor transformed again, with two springs popping out from both sides of the armor and securing them in place. Immediately afterwards, the second layer of exoskeleton armor was quickly fixed to her fist.

"I unleash the Flowing Strike - Raging Thunder!" Her right hand blazed with heat, blue lightning bursting forth, and a sun seemed to appear within her clenched fist. Everything in Bai Aina's eyes slowed down; her right fist, as it thrust out, pushed aside the air, clearing away the dust in its path, until it finally reached Kanzaki.

Like lightning, like the blazing sun, in Kanzaki's eyes, the entire world seemed to consist only of this heavily armored fist.

"Only Flash!" But even more conspicuous than Bai Aina's right fist was Kanzaki's Seven Days Seven Blades, which was drawn a step later. The blade, which flashed with stunning light, arrived first, accurately slicing through Bai Aina's body before sheathing itself.

The outcome was decided in that instant. Kanzaki used the techniques "Only Flash" and "Godslayer," which placed a great burden on Aina. From the very beginning, Kanzaki intended to use these techniques to decide the outcome.

"—" The sound of blood gushing out rang out. Kanzaki's slash did not directly kill Bai Aina. The Seven Days Seven Slashes only severed her right hand first, and then used the blade to cut open her chest and abdomen, forming a fatal wound.

"It's over." Kanzaki, who had sheathed her sword, immediately took out bandages and prepared to wrap them around Bai Ai Na's body to give her emergency treatment.

But the next moment, Kanzaki collapsed helplessly to the ground. The ground beneath her feet had inexplicably turned into salt, and her feet were sewn directly to the earth. The salt beneath her feet was arranged in a thorny pattern, forming a reversed cross magic circle.

Behind the scenes, Thor, the second-ranking god of thunder in Norse mythology, was originally not just a god of thunder, but also the god of agriculture. Thunder is merely a part of the crucial element of agriculture—the weather. Odin, ranked first, has a much stronger ability to interfere with the Earth's environment, even capable of creating salt disasters and controlling the weather. Behemoth used Gungnir's power to create the salt disasters, sealing off the movement of the gods and creating a magic circle to restrain the saints.

The design and description of the magic circle are based entirely on Index's description; Baina had specifically inquired about this at the izakaya earlier.

“It is indeed over.” Bai Aina slowly stood up, then raised her hand and pushed out the repulsion field. “Having used the Only Flash and Godslayer Mode, how much fighting power do you have left at this stage?”

Normally, doing something like this would have been nearly impossible. As a saint, Kanzaki's movement speed was extremely fast, making it very difficult to restrain her opponent with such a technique. But now... she herself had willingly fallen into this predicament.

"It sounds strange, but... let's go get some barbecue later!"

Chapter Twenty-Three Spoilers

After confirming that the mission completion progress had increased, Bai Ai Na, who was still in the card transformation state, quickly helped Kanzaki pull out her leg and used nanomechanics to reattach her severed hand. Afterwards, the two sat in the hundred-meter-deep pit and had a brief conversation.

"Actually, it's easy to solve. Miss Index's behavior isn't due to overworking her brain at all." Bai Aina is quite qualified to say this. If we disregard the quality of the books in her mind, the amount of books she has is definitely not much less than that walking library with 103,000 magic books in her mind.

"The idea that 15% of the brain's capacity can only store one year's worth of memories is utter nonsense. Human memory doesn't reside in just one area. Memory is divided into many regions, such as the semantic memory area that governs language and knowledge, the procedural memory area that governs motor skills, and the experiential memory area that governs recall, and so on—there are many more!"

"This...how is this possible?!" Kanzaki may be a bit dim-witted, but she's not an idiot. It's just that everyone's thought process is different. The other person's knowledge of the occult might be miles ahead of Bai Ai Na's, but her common sense is far inferior.

“The containers for each type of memory are different, just like garbage is divided into combustible and non-combustible. Even if someone loses their memory because they hit their head, they won't crawl on the ground and become a mute baby, right? Don't look at me like that. What I mean is that no matter how many library books you read or how much information you add to the meaningful memory area, it won't suppress the experiential memory area that controls memories. In neuromedicine, this is absolutely impossible.”

"..."

"No need for this silence. As payment for fighting you, I'll just tell you how to solve it. In this city, there's a boy named Kamijou Touma—well, not Kamijou Touma." Casually revealing everything about the future, Bai Aina told Kanzaki how to resolve everything. "His right hand harbors a power he's attracted to, called Imagine Breaker. It functions as a 'World Baseline Point' and a 'World Repair Point,' a safety device that embodies the dreams of various magicians."

"Magic is a power from another world, a product of distorted physical laws. And Imagine Breaker's effect is to restore that distortion. But actually, there's no point in me saying all that, because Miss Index... might already be with Touma Kamijou."

After fooling Kanzaki for half a day, seeing her dizzy and confused state, Bai Ai Na almost told her, "You should go and put on a fallen angel maid outfit to seduce Kamijou Touma," so that she could get a glimpse of the popular plot in the doujinshi.

After thinking for a while, Bai Ai Na still didn't say that, after all, Kanzaki-san wasn't very familiar with Kamijou Touma at this time. After chatting with the other person for a few minutes, the girl, having achieved her goal for this trip, bid farewell.

Back in her internet cafe room, Bai Aina hacked into the security cameras again, this time targeting Miss Index once more.

This time, the idea was simple: to obtain the method for extracting magic from Miss Index and... try to see if she could decipher the runes. Although Alessa had promised to help her decipher the runes, Baiana preferred to find a way out herself.

Unlike magic in other worlds, the magic in the world of *A Certain Magical Index* is essentially a technology from another world. When used, it causes friction between phases, thus creating sparks. In other words, the essence of magic is phase friction; while generating magic, it also triggers a reaction force, and this reaction force is the spark.

This spark will change the fate of others, and the magician can deflect this fate-changing spark. However, this fate-changing spark will not disappear into thin air, but will move to... a person who cannot use magic.

Therefore, in this world, if someone dies because their fate has been altered, it could indeed be due to a magician using magic. Ironically, the greatest magician, Aleister, was unaware of this.

Driven by the idea of ​​developing technology so that more people could learn magic, he simplified programming languages ​​and created a user-friendly program, making it accessible to everyone. In effect, he personally spread the virus of magic throughout the world.

The result is self-evident: Aleister betrayed the magical side as a result. He hoped to create a world where magicians would bear the consequences of their spells, and the prototype of this idea... was the artificial heaven in "A Certain Magical Index".

Therefore, the effects of the artificial heaven are not as magical as many fanfictions imagine. Magicians in the artificial heaven can still use magic, but this time they cannot avoid the consequences of using magic and must bear them themselves.

From a certain perspective, Aleister was indeed a perfect fit for the Divine Machine Battalion. His relentless pursuit of progress and his commitment to technological innovation perfectly aligned with the battalion's ideals.

Just imagine. Green Pepper could easily mobilize a magic army of over 100,000 people, and that's only what he could muster in a rush. Steamed Dumplings, on the other hand, has a much deeper foundation and a higher potential. The three religions alone could probably mobilize over a million mages, and adding in various magical societies and other religious organizations, conservatively speaking, there are still several million... In other words, in this world, on average, one or two people out of every few thousand know a thing or two about magic. That's a ratio comparable to that of Western fantasy novels, only it's not publicly known.

The price these people pay for using magic is borne entirely by ordinary people. It's no wonder Aleister betrayed magic; after all, the love of his life… was destroyed by the simplified technology he himself developed.

Back to the present, Bai Aina is indeed very interested in the magic in "A Certain Magical Index". After all, if this stuff is pushed to its limit, its upper limit is enough to easily defeat the likes of Type-Moon's Touhou Project. However, reaching that level is not an easy thing.

I wonder if the perfect biological bloodline has any advantages in this regard... Through the surveillance camera, Bai Ai Na successfully confirmed that Index had fallen onto the balcony of the dormitory where Kamijou Touma was.

Is it really fate? While grumbling like this, Bai Aina continued to review the surveillance footage and noticed something quite interesting.

Item has already joined forces with that transmigrator... and Shen Shuanglong actually built an escape villa in Academy City? Does he really think he's not conspicuous enough?

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Witch's Tea Party

Flipping through the vast amount of teaching materials and lecture notes ripped from the database, Bai Aina felt utterly exhausted. She had never seen so much academic material in her entire life. If it weren't for the nanomachines' ability to manage her brain and force her to memorize all this stuff, she probably would have passed out from boredom long ago.

"I really wish I had the skill of operating behind the scenes," Bai Aina couldn't help but sigh. After all, she wasn't someone who had taken drugs, so she couldn't perform unlimited micro-management or exert unlimited effort. Just the electromagnetic conversion alone gave her a huge headache.

Just as Baina was suffering terribly from immersing herself in the ocean of knowledge, a pop-up window suddenly appeared on her computer. Clicking on it, she discovered it was a letter from the time traveler, inviting her to meet.

"So it's finally happening..." Actually, Bai Aina didn't plan to fight her opponent so soon; this kind of unprepared battle wasn't something she wanted. In her mind, she should at least get to know her opponent a little better...

"Want to know? I can tell you." Suddenly appearing out of the wall, Alessa said, playing with the dice in her hand.

"You actually came... I thought you weren't going to care about anything anymore." Bai'ina had assumed Alesta would completely wash her hands of the matter, but she hadn't expected her to come and even offer information. "By the way, what were you doing before? You were even a KP, and your PC seems pretty impressive..."

"It's alright, we're all girls, it's just a witches' tea party." Arista said nonchalantly, twirling a strand of her hair with her fingers. "After all, there are more and more outsiders from our universe these days, it wouldn't be good if capable people didn't help each other, would it?"

"A witch's tea party?" Apart from Lambda, who might be an absolute witch, Baina felt that the other people... didn't seem to have anything to do with witches?

"Hmm, it just sounds nice, and I wasn't the one who came up with that name." Lazily stretching, Arista said thoughtfully. "Although the initial intention was indeed to help each other and protect our world, when we get together, we end up playing together more often, and those with boyfriends tend to brag about not being single."

"Huh? Boyfriend? You witches?" Bai Aina, who had never thought about this kind of thing before, was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect that these important people would have such troubles.

"Of course, let me count. As for Pure White, although she hasn't succeeded yet, her relationship with Shiroyama-kun has improved somewhat. Yuno goes without saying, she's already slept with him. Mary hasn't, but with the water snake pervert and the minotaur Ren, it's impossible for her to be single. Lambda has a lesbian complex and is very close to Beren, who rarely comes; the two even exchange powers. Homura-chan has already completed the imprisonment of her beloved..." After listing a string of names, Alessa added another, her expression turning ashen.

"So, at the Witch's Tea Party, I'm the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend, or rather, doesn't have a crush on anyone...?"

She clutched her head in anguish, and the silver-haired girl, who had previously been a perverted and obsessive woman, suddenly became dejected and useless, seemingly unable to accept this fact.

"How could this be! I can't accept this unreasonable thing! Staff of Impact, come out here!!!"

"You're so stupid! How come you only realized something so obvious now? Wait, let's talk this out, don't point the Staff of Impact at me!"

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that Alessa is unpopular. After all, although she's a girl, she's essentially a bald pervert who likes to draw doujinshi and write erotic novels, so it's understandable that she's not well-liked.

Before she knew it, her face turned ashen. Alessa desperately wanted to say that she was married. But it was Aleister who was married, not Alessa herself, who represented another possibility within Aleister, because she was still a virgin.

"Stop with that nonsense, I need information about that guy." Bai Aina tugged at Alesta's cheek, pulling her back from her miserable state. "Alright, we can talk about boyfriends later, and besides, not having a boyfriend is fine, isn't it?"

"Anyway, for gods or demons of your level, reaching the pinnacle is just a matter of lifting a finger, right? If that's the case, why bother finding a partner? Isn't that just being bored?" Bai Aina said, trying to instill some twisted logic in Alesta, even though the other clearly wasn't buying it.

"Please, these are two different things! I'll be laughed at if I don't have a boyfriend!" Alesta pouted, clearly disagreeing with Baina's words. "Fine, I'll just pass the information on to you."

As she spoke, Alessa placed her hand on Beina's head, and a flood of information surged into her mind as if it had always been there.

"This is..." Bai Aina's eyes widened as she saw Shen Shuanglong's entire life up to this point. Everything from before he obtained the system to after his transmigration flooded into her mind. "Couldn't you have filtered this for me? There's clearly a lot of meaningless junk information in here."

Bai Aina was dissatisfied with the sensual images in these messages. If she wanted to see them, she would naturally go and find the doujinshi herself. Wouldn't that be much more exciting than seeing them in real life?

"Of course not, this is punishment for your earlier sarcastic remarks." Clearly, Alesta was a vengeful woman, though she also clearly disliked it. "Ugh, to be honest, I don't like it either, but if I were to share this annoyance with someone else, it seems like my annoyance would be halved!"

"You really have a terrible personality..." Completely forgetting that she frequently spreads spores that can alter races, Baina pointed righteously at Alesta's actions. "Speaking of which, this guy is really hard to deal with, or rather, he cheated a little, didn't he? Having powers is one thing, but he has ten powers!"

Although it sounds absurd, Shen Shuanglong killed ten disobedient gods in the world of "Godslayer" and possesses more than ten special abilities, making him far stronger than Bai Aina at this stage.

"However... in battles, it's not always the case that the person with the greater destructive power wins, nor is it always the case that the person with the greater strength wins." With a wicked smile, Bai Aina looked at the letter of introduction on the computer and laughed.

"Alright, I'll give you the payment in advance." Originally, she only planned to decipher the runes for her, but now it seemed unnecessary. Arista knew that Beaina planned to start with the method of deciphering from the Index of Forbidden Books, so she reached out and placed her hand on Beaina's head.

"Uh, this is..." Feeling the strange knowledge in her mind, Bai Aina felt that these things were extremely obscure, somewhat like the runes she had seen for the first time.

"There are two sets of things. One is a simple version of the Spear of God's manufacturing method, and the other is how to use the Spear of God."

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Hundred Martial Arts Skills, This is...

Michael, Osiris, Veleslana, Mekal, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Perseus, Susanoo, Gonggong, and Chronos. These ten disobedient gods were all defeated by Shen Shuanglong, who seized their power.

To be honest, I came to this world just to relax. For Shen Shuanglong, this world's mystique is far too low; he completely looks down on it. The so-called Right Flame, who supposedly possesses the 'power to save the world,' is nothing more than an ordinary human with the power of Michael, while he, the overlord of the earth, is a demon king who slays gods.

You must understand, Shen Shuanglong is a god-slayer who killed Michael and seized the power of 'Light Execution' from him. Wouldn't it be an easy task for him to deal with Right Flame, who possesses the power of Michael?

Even the angel Aiwass, who was said to be able to change the world, was insignificant in Shen Shuanglong's eyes. It's important to understand that the Horusian era was around 3000 BC. That era was the golden age of the Egyptian gods, who ruled the world. But so what?

Osiris is one of the nine most important gods in Egypt, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology, and the ruler of the underworld. He is the son of Geb, the god of the earth. He is also the ancient Egyptian god of plants and the water god of the Nile. Even such a rebellious god was still killed by Shen Shuanglong. The fact that Aiwas appears as an angel indicates that she is definitely not one of the Ennead gods in Egyptian mythology, but merely a minor attendant deity under the gods.

He's just a servant god from Egyptian mythology. Even if the real Ennead Gods came, I, Shen Shuanglong, would kill them all! Godslayers are like that—the stronger the opponent, the stronger they become, utterly unreasonable, truly the chosen ones of their time.

Just as Shen Shuanglong was sitting in front of his computer looking at things to pass the time, the other party sent him a text message, asking him to meet at a commercial building.

That is Diamond Court, a large-scale commercial complex located in the 15th District, the most bustling street in Academy City.

It was a landmark building reserved for celebrities, housing an entire large television station, with apartments occupied by entertainers—a true "center of attention."
