If it were any other being with perfect biological lineage or enhanced by a virus, they would have completely devoured all living things on the planet, leaving none alive. But Bai Aina wasn't that bored. After all, the bioenergy of ordinary creatures was limited, and they were incredibly dirty to eat. She wouldn't accept something so disgusting, especially since…

Compared to living organisms, isn't the energy generated by the power of nature far greater? Take the mangosteen that Baina once used, for example; the power it contains is far greater than that of a nuclear bomb, only it is not concentrated or focused enough.

In a high-altitude region where thunderstorms are frequent, countless birds inhabit the peaks, flapping their wings even when perched on rocks.

At first glance, these birds resemble ravens, but their size is exaggerated; each of these silvery-grey birds, which look like ravens, is the size of a person. The feathers covering their bodies are not soft; rather than feathers, they are more like armor, appearing extremely smooth.

This is the offspring created by Baina, whose design is directly inspired by the raven, and which is equipped with specialized abilities and technologies.

Lightning raged through the clouds during the thunderstorm, but every bolt struck the ravens with deadly accuracy. Instead of moving, they would store up all their electricity and flap their wings.

As descendants of Beaune, these ravens possess more than one pair of wings; beneath the outer wings on either side of their bodies, two additional pairs are folded and tucked away. These ravens only unfold their wings when absorbing lightning.

This is imitating the Anti Art Attachment, transmitting the absorbed electricity to the Heart Reflection where Beaina resides through the core of the Raven's body. The original Anti Art Attachment was a relay station for drawing power from a distance, but after some adjustments, it was changed to use a relay battle to reverse the power and input it into a certain location.

For Beaune, the weaponry of Anti Art Attachment was less important. Instead, the technology capable of transmitting power over long distances was far more crucial, and the ability to transfer energy to multiple objects over a wide area would be even more desirable.

These ravens naturally include the personality of Beaune. Through the multi-tailed insects that split her personality into many others, she endowed these children of the sky with a personality that prefers quiet, peace, and loves to fly, but hates being disturbed.

"Oh right, I haven't connected to the personality network yet?" Raven No. 100253 suddenly realized that since its birth, it had always been lying on this mountain, only occasionally flying up to absorb lightning from other mountains. Although the children of the sky were programmed to be inactive, such long periods of peace still required ways to pass the time.

Therefore, Baina created her own personality network. The method was to receive an electromagnetic information network formed by brainwaves of the same amplitude. As long as the brainwaves were the same and the individual had the approval of the superior, one could enter the personality network to chat.

To put it more accurately, it's like Baina created an internal QQ group. Any personality she split off from, no matter how far away, could join this QQ group to chat, although the signal would be affected by external factors.

When Raven No. 100253 opened its mind and entered the personality network, it was overwhelmed by a deluge of words. Before it could even see what the personality network looked like, it was drowned out by the barrage of information.

Before it could retreat, it was pulled into a separate, small network of personalities. It was a large library filled with countless points of light, each labeled with a number, and each point of light was sitting at a table doing its own thing.

“Idiot, don’t go to the main network,” Raven 100485 replied. “There are a lot of ocean descendants there, and they’re very noisy.”

"This is the sub-network exclusive to the descendants of the sky. You'll be working here from now on. If there are any job transfers or changes, the higher-level individual will notify us. She's here too." Raven No. 196582 pointed to a virtual image standing not far away. It was a purple-haired girl dressed in white, with a languid expression.

"Is there anything we can do here?" Raven No. 100253 looked around in confusion, while Raven No. 196582 handed him a book.

"Take a look at this. This is a book downloaded by our main body. In the outside world, it's an entertainment book used by a kind of creature called humans. This one is called 'Kamen Rider Decade: Tsukasa Kadoya's Little Garden'."

"Okay, sure." Raven No. 100253 took the book, found a stool, and sat down. He began to read the novel.

This wasn't an isolated incident, but compared to the descendants of the sky, the descendants of the land had it much harder. Their task was to find volcanoes or deserts, constantly absorbing their heat, and then transmitting all that heat back to their original form, Bai'ina, via remote teleportation.

Despite their small size, the land-dwelling descendants are actually quite agile. Known as the Grey Men, they can freely change their form, theoretically transforming into the likeness of the sky and sea descendants.

Therefore, when crossing mountains, they often take the form of ravens, and when crossing the sea, they transform into…

In the depths of the ocean, where there is no light, there exists the energy that Baina believed was most easily obtained: sea pressure.

Even in the dark depths of the ocean, a large number of grey and white dolphins swim happily around, as if they can never stop. Their unstoppable whale spirit gives them the motivation to move forward and forge their own path.

These beings, possessing perfect energy absorption abilities, are tasked with absorbing the pressure of the deep sea, using their Transmutation-type Nen ability 'Hundred Powers' to convert this energy into stored vital energy, and then transmitting it remotely back to Beaina.

Compared to volcanoes that eventually dry up or thunderstorms that eventually subside, this method of absorbing ocean pressure to increase energy is far more stable. All that's needed is for these tireless gray dolphins to keep swimming in this deep sea.

So please don't stop...

Um... I really didn't mean to update so late.

Chapter Five: Roundtable Conference

The reflection of the heart's tides is now completely different from before. Through the mass reproduction and growth of the Shoggoths, this place has taken on the appearance of a small world. Not only are there towering giant trees reaching into the clouds, but there are also lakes and wooden houses built on the branches.

Achieving this isn't particularly difficult; these Shoggoths are highly integrated with perfect biological cells, inseparable from each other. With simple adjustments, they can be transformed into trees or massive mountains of bones.

Unlike its original state, this world is no longer just gray. It now has more colors, making it a little more comfortable to look at.

In the very center of this world stood a white round table. Like the surrounding scenery, it was naturally formed from the cells of a perfect organism. Five girls sat around the table, four of whom had expressionless faces. Only Bai Aina, sitting in the main seat, seemed restless, looking around as she sipped her Vita Lemon Tea.

Behind the round table were two enormous sealed chambers that seemed to support the entire sky like pillars. Inside the sealed chambers were countless crystal-clear tentacles, all of which were linked to a... golden jelly.

This is an external brain, one of the technologies developed by Academy City using LV5, specifically a type of Five-Over Model case.

Of course, things are slightly different here with Mind Reflection. Although Misaki Shokuhou's [Mental Control] is a skill like an all-purpose saber, it's not particularly important for Aina. In comparison, this external brain has more uses.

The so-called 'external brain transplant' is an artificial organ cultivated by removing a portion of Baina's cerebral cortex.

The owner does not need to carry it at all; simply log into the special system of the 'External Brain' to obtain the power of the 'External Brain' anywhere.

Its main functions are twofold.

First, it manages the personalities that log into the personality network and issues commands through this 'external brain' signal tower. It also exists as a database, recording all of Bai Aina's skills, knowledge, and experiences, all of which can be accessed through this 'external brain,' provided that the controller of the 'external brain' gives their consent.

Secondly, it enhances the sensory abilities of Observation Haki. While Bea's Observation Haki was already quite formidable—enough to easily cover most of Academy City if it were a Perfect Creature character card—neither its precision nor its strength matched Katakuri's, and it couldn't predict the future as freely as Katakuri.

However, if she combines her external brain with it and uses it to amplify herself, Beaune's Observation Haki could cover the entire Japanese island. Even things like predicting the future could be done with ease.

In short, it took Bai Aina a whole day to make this thing. Apart from continuing her personality split as usual, she did almost nothing but adjust this thing.

The multi-tailed worm's ability to split its personality is indeed remarkable. Baina splits into multiple personalities almost every minute, which is why she can create so many offspring so quickly. She not only gives them bodies, but also the ability to make judgments.

Although they are all mass-produced products, their quality is still excellent. These split personalities are all part of Baina and have no rebellious intentions.

That being said, among these split personalities... there are two extremely peculiar ones, which even Baina finds somewhat troublesome. Unlike Nunn and Lambda, these two have very distinct selves.

One of them was a blonde girl with blue eyes wearing an off-the-shoulder top, who coldly observed everything, occasionally... giving Bai Ai Na a closer look.

The other was a girl with long purple hair tied up with a crown, her scarlet eyes devoid of any emotion, and her entire body wrapped in a black robe.

"By the way, I haven't named you two yet, have I? What names do you two want?" Bai Aina felt the atmosphere was too stiff, so she took the initiative to start a conversation, trying to ease the tension with this slightly more relaxed topic.

“Myuen.” “Saya.” “Anyway, if it were my mother, she would definitely give me this name.” ×2, almost like a duet, the voices sounded at the same time. Compared to Muuen’s equally indifferent tone, Saya’s words had a hint of arrogance.

“Forget about motherhood... I’m still a virgin!” Bai Aina immediately objected, but was quickly refuted.

“No, Lambda and Nunn don’t have emotions, so I wouldn’t call them that. But I inherited a part of my mother’s emotions and personality, so I won’t give up calling her that.” Saya smiled, almost as if she were teasing. Although it sounded like teasing, it was more sarcastic. “Of course, if Mother doesn’t like it… I can change it to ‘Niang’ or ‘Mama’.”

"No thanks, I don't want to be called 'Mom' or 'Mother' by a girl who looks about my age." Shaking her head, Bai Aina didn't want to take care of a child. Although, judging from her appearance, Saya didn't seem to be a girl at all.

“Mother.” Unlike Saya, Muun’s voice sounded cold, but slightly soft, like jelly. “I don’t think the management of the personality network should be given to Saya. Her emotions are too rich, and she might act impulsively.”

"Oh, that's not necessarily true. My mother is so perceptive; someone like me, who wears his bad intentions on his sleeve, can't escape her notice no matter what he does."

"The Devil's Eye is a heat beam! Ahhh, Devil Power, attach..."

"Shut up!" ×2, Bai Aina immediately shut her mouth. Saya continued, "People like you who seem soft and sweet, but are actually more cunning than anyone else, are the kind of people who act impulsively."

The atmosphere instantly became tense, but Bai Aina just yawned lazily. After pondering for a moment, she said, "How about this... what do you think... should I induce the creation of another personality to manage the personality network?"

The atmosphere instantly changed. Saya and Muen looked at Baiina with strange expressions, but the latter was too lazy to think about it and directly assigned roles: "Nuen, like Lambda, will assist me. Muen... you are a personality created to use the 'Sword of Truth,' so you can take on the role of managing the personality network in your spare time. Saya will be responsible for managing the march of the dead, but you will also be responsible for managing the personality network. Your authority is equal."

Chapter Six (Organization)

After spending considerable time integrating her existing resources, Bai Aina began her previous plan: to create a new personality specifically for managing the mental network. However, figuring out how to create it proved to be a long-standing problem, as she also wanted to somewhat compensate for her own shortcomings.

That's her spellcasting ability, or rather, her wide-range attacks. Bai'na's fighting style leans towards close combat, making her a martial artist with very low purity. Various impure techniques, fighting methods, and extreme practical skills are all readily available to her, thus her destructive power is quite limited... but it doesn't seem to be anything particularly important to her, right?

After all, Baina possesses a considerable number of methods for annihilating large groups, while spores are currently few in number. At this moment, she has already mastered the Six-Winged Sword Technique, which theoretically allows her to wipe out an army of tens of thousands in less than thirty seconds.

Whether the army was ancient or modern made no difference to Bai Aina at this moment, but that being said...

But if something is missing, it still feels very wrong... Bai Aina pondered what kind of personality she should cultivate, and then sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Nunn, on the other hand, revealed her original form, transforming into a silver-haired girl wearing a white top, sitting next to Baina with a confused expression.

"What's wrong?" Bai Aina noticed Newn's expression and felt something was missing. Then she suddenly realized, clapped her hands, and laughed. "I know, it really is missing this. Just wait a moment."

Reaching out, she pulled over a dozen white flowers, skillfully woven them into a wreath, and placed it on Newton's head.

"That's perfect then." Baina looked at Nuen wearing the flower wreath with a satisfied expression. Then she patted the girl's head, feeling like she was raising a puppy. Nuen was definitely easier to take care of than Saya and Muen.

Nunn looked puzzled by what Baina had done, scratching her head as if she couldn't understand what had just happened.

The water sphere reflected Nunn's face, and Baina touched her head again, finding it quite nice to the touch.

This is... me...? Mother...? Perhaps due to the influence of Muen and Shaye, some strange thoughts sprouted in Nuen's mind, thoughts she had never had before, thoughts she shouldn't have as a biological computer.

The water sphere reflected their faces; the gray-haired and silver-haired girls leaned close together, Bai'ina's face beaming with a warm and happy smile. Nuen's floral wreath remained vibrant and beautiful, even emitting a faint fragrance.

Looking at the scene reflected in the water sphere, a strange impulse welled up in Nuen's heart. She subconsciously hugged Baina and said something.

"Kokosuki!" "Hero of justice, Bai'ina!" Although she didn't know why Nuen suddenly hugged her and said "kokosuki," Bai'ina, as a good mother, immediately picked up on the joke.

"Newn, why did you suddenly hug me like this and won't let go?" Baina asked, puzzled, but she wasn't particularly oblivious and quickly understood what was going on. Her expression immediately turned strange, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Uh... wait, you didn't develop feelings like Muen and Saya, did you?!" Of all times, why now? Are you trying to make me overworked? Bai'ina felt a headache coming on and quickly called Lambda, who was still playing with the gray little man. "Uh, please, look after her for me, otherwise I..."

She immediately released her hands, and Nuen, with an obedient expression, said with a smile, "I understand, Baina, please don't hate me."

Oh dear! Even though she didn't call me mother, it only made me feel worse! Bai Aina was speechless. She could easily guess that without her control, Nuen would probably try to eliminate all the split personalities.

If there's any reason... it's very likely because Nunn wants to have Baiana all to himself and get all her attention.

"..." Bai Aina regretted giving these personalities those names; who would have thought they would actually turn out like that? Wasn't this just asking for trouble? But looking at it this way, it seems that the only personality she can trust... is Lambda?

She ran her fingers across her forehead to calm her mind. Instead of rushing to create a new personality, Baina went to Saya's location—Valhalla, the place where the dead were temporarily stored.

There should have been many Valkyries here, but Baina can't create them at this stage, so the place is empty. However, there are some gray figures who are trying to convert the energy in their bodies into electricity.

"The Palm of Ten Thousand Nations!" As a descendant of a perfect being, the gray little man was quite talented in this area. Under the guidance of a senior who was already able to unleash the Palm of Ten Thousand Nations, the newborn gray little man quickly mastered how to use his spiritual energy.

Valhalla's design is quite simple, resembling a white Western-style mansion. Only the numerous branches and blooming flowers throughout give the mansion a touch of life.

Entering through the main gate and walking up the white steps, you'll find a pool in the very center of the mansion. Steam rises from the blue water, making it look like a hot spring.

Not far from the blue pool stood a white jade throne. A purple-haired girl, draped in a heavy black robe, stared blankly into the distance.

"Ah, it's Mother." Saya's previously vacant eyes immediately brightened, and she quickly approached. Even though she was trying to remain calm, her excitement was obvious to everyone. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

“Isn’t the March of the Dead supposed to take in the souls of those I’ve killed?” Bai Aina pointed to the white smoke above the pool and continued, “Although I know Mu Xishuang was erased by Othinus, are there still remnants here?”

“Indeed, there is a part of it. Rather than her soul, it's more like a part of her personal characteristics.” Nodding, Saya took out the jade-white shard and handed it to Bai Ai Na. “Besides that, there is also a part of the Dongfang Bubai style martial arts in this residue.”

"The Invincible East style of martial arts? I wonder if it has a super mode or the Mirror of Still Water style..."

Chapter Seven Personality Defects

No matter how hard she tried, Baina couldn't recreate the spellcaster personality she envisioned. Wise, inquisitive, intellectual, gentle, and calm—none of these qualities were present. All she could think of was buffing herself and then punching the opposing barbarian mage, which gave her a terrible headache.

Could it be that I really don't have this talent? That shouldn't be the case... Wise (sneaky and cunning), inquisitive (completely indifferent to my past), intellectual (frequently swearing), gentle and refined (self-centered, imposing my will on others), calm and collected (I'll kill you!!!), aren't these my characteristics? Bai Aina was very confused about this, one could say she was very puzzled.

Muen, who had been following them the whole time, didn't reveal these cruel facts. After all... it wasn't something a daughter should do to criticize her mother.

Unable to create the desired personality, Bai Aina sighed, ended the personality-shaping process, and decided to clear her head.
