Miss Justice is not motivated

"Mother, is there anything you'd like to do?" Mu En stepped forward, her face expressionless, but her azure eyes revealed unmistakable concern.

"Hmm, no. I've decided to wait until the mission time arrives." Sitting on a tree stump nearby, Bai Aina's two white feet dangled in mid-air.

“It may be rude, but I must say it.” Muen sat down on the tree stump, back to back with Baina. Even without turning around, they could feel each other's presence, which gave Muen a small, secret thrill. “Why… do you always obey that book's orders? You're such a strong-willed person, and you don't like being forced…”

“Because things aren’t too bad yet, they’re still within my tolerance range.” Saying this, Bai Aina stretched out her hand, and countless gray particles floated out from her palm, spreading out in the reflection of her inner turmoil. “And more importantly… until now, I still lack the means to break through the 'barrier' or to travel between stars, right?”

Without responding further, Muen recalled Saya's words: sometimes the other woman would complain about her mother's choices. She often made insignificant choices in trivial matters, which was why her growth was so slow.

At least... Baina never suggested using the thermophilic Shoggoths to completely absorb the heat of the entire planet, or using the Heart Reflection to assimilate all the humans on the planet, making them also one of 'Baina'.

"So, I also hope to possess the means to travel between stars or traverse worlds. Only then will I have a modicum of power to resist." Bai Aina gazed at the illusory sun reflected in her mind's eye—a sphere of light constructed from primordial energy, which to some extent released energy to sustain everything living within this spiritual space. "Only then, perhaps, will I be able to... resist this book to some extent?"

Even so, Bai Aina still wasn't entirely sure. After all, while the book was rather rudimentary, it still possessed many amazing effects, such as the ability to acquire items from other worlds. It could even get meal tickets from a place like the Multiverse Restaurant, a place with a clearly powerful and influential backer… It was quite unbelievable, considering… the restaurant owner was a god of food!

"But for now, I'm still very happy. Although being forced like this makes me feel very uncomfortable, to be very honest... I don't regret or hate anything so far." Recalling everything she had seen on her journey, and the incomplete autograph book, Baina sensed something.

Even with howling winds and an uncertain future, Bai Aina remained full of determination.

"..." Muen couldn't quite understand what this emotion was all about, but seeing Bai Aina's current appearance, she nodded gently. "Although I don't quite understand this feeling, as long as Mother is happy."

“Silly girl, my happiness isn’t your happiness. But if that’s the case… you, Saya, Lambda, Nunn, and the others can’t become real people.” Baina sighed, feeling that her various personalities… were merely facets of herself. “Perhaps I should let you all merge into one?”

"Merge???" Although she was very interested in Bai Aina's words about 'becoming a real person', Mu En was startled by Bai Aina's words.

“Yes, Hyper Fusion. It allows you to fuse Duel Monsters from both sides as materials to summon a higher-ranking Duel Monster.” With a smile, Bai Aina seemed to have thought of something and said seriously. “Maybe I could try fusing you and Saya together as materials… that way I could get a super powerful Duel Monster?”

"No." "Refuse." The answers came almost simultaneously. Bai Aina turned around and found that, without her noticing, even Saya was sitting next to her. She was eyeing Muen's seat covetously, seemingly trying to push her out.

"Why? How can you two not get along?" Completely baffled, Bai Aina couldn't help but sigh. After all, Saya and Muon weren't real Duel Monsters. "You two usually hold positions that are never really useful, and you both have side jobs. Having you team up would be a great choice, wouldn't it?"

“That’s just wishful thinking on my mother’s part,” Saya replied curtly, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"I'd rather die than merge with her." As she said this, Mu En's expression was unusually cold, as sharp as a knife.

"Oh, I see... Lambda~ Nunn~ you two come here for a second." She called the other two personalities over. Lambda remained expressionless, while Nunn looked delighted, until her next words came out. "Could you two combine?"

“No objection.” “I don’t want it.” Lambda naturally had no objection, but Newne… her subsequent words were filled with obvious hostility. “Bai’na only needs me. Let’s exclude all these mass-produced ones. After all, I was here first, and I was the original personality. Bai’na only needs me.”

“Very well, next suggestion.” Bai Aina stood up, looking at the four personalities still sitting on the tree stump, and felt a headache coming on. “I’m not saying you have to love each other, but at least don’t fight, okay?”

Saya, Muen, and Nuen nodded first, followed by Lambda, who was slow to react. However, Baina knew that this was just a facade.

"Uh... I really hope you guys don't start fighting later. Let's leave it at that for now. After all, the time to enter the mission world is almost here."

Chapter Eight: The Knights of the Mid-Sun

After defeating Vortigern, King Arthur began to rebuild the destroyed fortified cities.

With the return of the sword's wielder, the city regained its former mystique and was reborn as the Chalk City of Camelot. The years of King Arthur's reign over all of Britain refer to the ten years between Camelot's victory at the Battle of Camlann Hill.

Although the war between the tribes and the alien races brought about by Vortigern continued, it was a peaceful decade overall, and one of the few such decades.

Gawain didn't dislike this kind of life. Although the battles on the front lines were thrilling and passionate, this kind of stability was the life that the king and the people dreamed of. The knights united under the Holy Sword had always been working for this peace.

They paid a heavy price and made many sacrifices for this; Wang did things she would never have done otherwise. And it is precisely because of this that we are where we are today.

Gazing at the setting sun's afterglow in the distance, Gawain squinted, gripping the hilt of his holy sword, which resembled the sun. He could sense the Great Source stirring; the magic in the air was boiling, as if it were some kind of resonance phenomenon.

Is this... a summoning ritual initiated by the alien races? No, they shouldn't have this technology. Even though Vortigern has been defeated, the alien races that ravage this land have remained like leeches, and Gawain has encountered this situation before.

At that moment, he summoned his adjutant, whispered a few words of instruction, and then Gawain took the lead, leading dozens of knights, charging toward the source of the magical disturbance.

The reason there were only a few dozen men was that the combat strength of ordinary soldiers was far inferior to that of Gawain. If the opponent was the type that he couldn't handle alone, then calling in these soldiers would be pointless.

The knights who managed to keep up were all capable of fighting against a hundred men, and could use magic in combat. One of them was Gawain's lieutenant, who could also sense the restless magic.

"Lord Gawain, should we use communication magic to inform the King of our situation?" Seeing Gawain's serious expression, the adjutant hesitated before asking.

"Let's give the notification." Gawain's soft golden hair fluttered in the wind, and he sensed that he was getting quite close to that restless magic.

In a valley some distance from the border town, a silver-gray curtain could be seen. Several figures emerged from it—Bai Choufei, Uchiha Obito, and Kusaka Masato, the three warriors. Using Daishuka's unique dimensional barrier technology, they had jumped from one end of time to this point in time, preparing to turn this land into scorched earth.

"Not bad, someone noticed it so quickly?" Obito said softly, slightly surprised, before looking at his two companions.

"It's alright, the advance team has already arrived." As Soga said this, a series of strange, silver-gray figures emerged from the silver-gray curtain. They looked like upright locusts, their bodies covered in light biological armor, and their legs, bent like antelopes, were muscular and explosive, allowing them to leap fifty meters in a single bound.

"Since it's just a induced species, let's try out this batch of finished products." Bai Choufei wasn't very satisfied with the level of this advance force, as their main body was just an Orphnoch combined with Gaia Memory. It was still far from the war machine he envisioned, created by combining a Grongi of the Geminate Group with an Eye Demon.

The researcher standing at the back couldn't help but roll his eyes. No one would like someone who was so picky, but he didn't care that these three guys would bother him.

At this moment, Gawain had already appeared in front of the valley. Dozens of elite knights followed closely behind him, ready for battle, and his adjutant gripped his sword tightly.

"And you are..." However, before Gawain could finish speaking, the dozens of locust monsters suddenly attacked. Their biological armor suddenly exploded, leaving only muscles attached to their bones, but the price was that it allowed them to enter an 'accelerated' state.

Its arms mutated into sharp blades, and with a speed boost that even sound couldn't keep up with, the locust monster's attacks easily pierced through the elite knights' armor, the steel-slicing blades tearing through their flesh, and blood splattering everywhere.

The small open space instantly transformed into a brutal slaughterhouse. Gawain, realizing the gravity of the situation, understood that words were futile at this moment. Without hesitation, he immediately swung his sword backhand, slashing at the nearest locust monster.

But countless silvery-white crystalline vines surged out, and the moment these vines appeared, Gawain felt drowsy.

"This is...magic?! No!" Gawain immediately bit his tongue, forcing himself to come to his senses. As Morgan's son, the Knight of the Sun naturally possessed exceptional magic resistance; ordinary magic simply couldn't affect him.

Therefore, Gawain understood perfectly well that what his opponent used... was not magic at all. Because it was a product not based on magic, it could not possibly be magic!

The pain dispelled the drowsiness, and the silver holy sword flashed brilliantly, tearing apart all the approaching crystal vines with surging magic. But an even stronger drowsiness swept over him, and more crystal vines surged out wildly, attempting to strangle Gawain on the spot.

"Obito, stop." Bai Choufei stopped Obito's actions and walked forward slowly, speaking softly. "The opponent possesses a very special, unsolved ability; he is someone we need to capture."

"If that's the case, why don't you let me use the Dream Vines to capture him?" Obito glanced at Bai Choufei and stopped the expansion of the crystal vines.

“If I let you use the power of the Silver Fruit, this guy would probably be turned into a vegetable.” Bai Choufei stretched out his arms, his body slowly suspending in the air. “Isn’t the most important thing in live experiments memory and… questioning?”

Obito didn't say anything more, he simply stopped and stood aside. Gawain couldn't understand their conversation at all; their pronunciation was completely different from that of the alien race.

My king… I may have to betray your trust this time. Gawain knew very well that he could not escape unscathed today; the enemy possessed a unique power unlike anything found in this land… But what he was most relieved about was that news of what had happened here had already reached the holy city of Camelot.

Even with the power of a saint, Gawain lacked confidence in defeating his opponent. He took a deep breath and channeled his magic into the longsword in his hand. The simulated sun within the hilt responded to his conviction, releasing a dazzling light.

"Rumor has it that Gawain, the Sun Knight, is the strongest Knight of the Round Table under the midday sun. Seeing him today, I can confirm his reputation is well-deserved." Bai Choufei chuckled as he gazed at the beam of light that resembled the blazing sun. By this time, he had already thoroughly mastered the Four Great Techniques of Chaos and had completely integrated them with his most trusted martial art, the 'Shocking God Finger'.

Chapter Nine: Shocker's New Beginning

Having activated the Saint's Number, Gawain's power tripled at this moment. The heavy armor could not restrain his agility. In less than the blink of an eye, the Holy Sword in the Sun Knight's hand slashed down at Bai Choufei.

"Awakening of Insects!" Without fear, Bai Choufei pointed his finger, and a dazzling burst of lightning erupted from his fingertip. The so-called Awakening of Insects symbolizes the first thunder of spring and the sprouting of all things. It is also the most domineering and fierce finger strike among the twenty-four solar terms!

Although it was a finger-to-sword confrontation, Gawain felt no advantage whatsoever. His heavy strike was intercepted by his opponent's fingertips, and the golden lightning was not thunder, but a surging, powerful impact that sent him flying.

But Gawain braced himself with his foot, forcefully stopping his retreat. The silver holy sword drew dense sword marks, completely enveloping Bai Choufei's body. Relying on the Saint's power, the Sun Knight was confident that he was invincible wherever the sun shone!

"The Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos - Sudden Rain." Bai Choufei forcefully shook off Gao Wen, who was trying to rush forward again, and smiled calmly. He had pushed the Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos to its limit. The four forces of wind, thunder, fire, and rain surrounded him, and when they merged and converged, they even triggered a celestial resonance.

The once clear daylight vanished instantly, and large patches of dark clouds abruptly appeared in the sky, blocking out the midday sun. Under Bai Choufei's control, the moisture in the air was released along with his heavy palm strike, the immense force of which struck Gawain, who had lost the protection of the Saintly Number.

Completely unprepared for this situation, Gawain was blasted away by the heavy blow. The moisture drawn out by the Four Great Chaos Techniques even seeped into his body, seeping into his blood vessels and interfering with his normal bodily functions. Even mobilizing his internal magic power could not expel it.

"Is this... Eastern martial arts...?" Gawain had encountered a similar situation when he was fighting the Roman Sword Emperor. But compared to the opponent's treacherous kicks, this strike was more ingenious... and more vicious.

Before Gao Wen could adjust his posture, Bai Choufei pointed out again, the Thunderclap Finger Force making him dizzy and disoriented.

"Don't even think about getting rid of the residual force left by this move. Even the Dragon Tiger Sect's Nine Yang Divine Skill can't do that. Although your nickname is the Sun Knight, it doesn't mean you actually possess the power of the sun." Bai Choufei said calmly, pointing out with his finger again.

Unexpectedly, Gawain stabbed himself in the heart with a backhand sword. The water vapor injected by the Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos, along with the gushing blood, was released. After regaining control of her body, she rolled away and threw the Wheel of Victory sword in her hand into the air.

"This sword is the embodiment of the sun... the Yang Flame that burns away all impurities." Knowing that he would soon die, Gawain was determined to unleash the holy sword and use his strongest attack to kill Bai Choufei.

If King Arthur's Excalibur is the gathering of the planet's brilliance, then Gawain's Galatine is the manifestation of the sun's scorching rays. Excalibur is a focused, city-concentrating Noble Phantasm, while Galatine is a horizontal, radiating type used to wipe out approaching enemies; in this context, both are quite suitable.

The sun's radiance unfolded beneath his feet. Though his heart had been pierced, his unwavering belief gave Gawain the strength to continue. Blood dripping from his forehead blurred his vision, turning everything in his world a blood-red blur.

But amidst this crimson light, only the enemy's figure remained clearly visible. The fallen sword of victory was once again grasped in his hand.

"Victory in the Wheel of Fortune..." The dazzling sunlight shot into the sky from beneath his feet. At this moment, Gawain was covered in golden light, as if he had transformed into light himself. He gripped his sword tightly and slowly swung his arm forward...

But... he couldn't move. Why couldn't he move? Gawain's forehead was covered in sweat, and even the wound on his chest had stopped bleeding, but even in this situation...

His heart, which had stopped beating, had lost its strength, and the light in Gawain's eyes gradually faded.

At some point, Bai Choufei withdrew his hands and stood to the side with his arms crossed. Cao Jia pointed a finger at him from a distance, a disgusting smile on his face.

Parasitic threads—this power originates from the String-String Fruit. As a spider-type monster, Kusaka greatly admires this power, especially in this situation.

“Actually, if we were to capture him alive, it would obviously be easier for me and Obito,” Soga said, noticing that Gawain’s heartbeat had stopped. “Bai Choufei… what exactly is your purpose? Or rather… personal gain?”

"Ha, how could that be?" Bai Choufei took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers, revealing a look of disgust. "More important than that, you're going to establish a base here, right?"

"That kind of thing, it doesn't matter anymore, right?" The researcher, fed up with the situation, spoke up directly. His nameplate read "Step-by-Step Bell." "Are all you Three Elementalists known for your infighting and backstabbing? Can't you use this time to do something practical?"

"You, who were thrown out by Shocker, have no right to say that, do you?" Soga mercilessly revealed the other party's dark history.

Bai Choufei pointed his finger and said, "Moreover, this operation is led by the Shocker 159th Branch, not your Wanxiang Museum. I hope you understand that."

Bu Tianzhong was too lazy to discuss this matter with them. He reached out and pulled at the dimensional barrier, and a huge silver warship appeared in the hazy gray light. The silver warship immediately attached itself to the ground, transforming into a massive base.

The metal warship 'Root Destruction Summoning', modeled after the Krexis Fortress, quickly began collecting energy sources, plundering everything that belonged to this planet by relying on the 'Fountain' extraction technology obtained from the Gaia Museum.

Originally, this technology was a special technique used to create Gaia Memory by absorbing information from "Earth's memory." However, through the cooperation of Shocker Branch 159 and the Universal Shocker, it was successfully transformed into an energy collection technology that can extract even the planet's major energy sources and heat.

"Hmm, in that case, we should be able to draw out the restraining force, right?" Bai Choufei pondered, stroking his chin, when suddenly something occurred to him. "Wouldn't the Chaldea Humanity Guardian organization notice this place?"

"It's just half-baked time-travel technology, no need to worry. We've already obtained the relevant technology for Castle Delan from the world of Kiva and created a replica." Bu Tianzhong said casually, watching the castle slowly detach from the Root Destruction. "Let's use this to offer a welcoming salute to Chaldea."

Delan Castle, from the tokusatsu series *Kamen Rider Kiva*, was originally the strongest monster of the Dragon Clan, later transformed into a castle. In battle, it functions as a mobile fortress, possessing the ability to travel through time and space, and contains an absolute barrier space within which prisoners cannot escape. Formerly the residence of a king, it consumes the life energy of Fangire (which can be considered vampires) defeated by Kiva, storing it within its own body. Normally, it disguises itself as a building on the street.

Chapter Ten: Chaldea is not featured in this volume.

At this moment, a dazzling red dot appeared in the simulated Earth environment model of Chaldea, the human survival guarantee organization Phineas Chaldea. Moreover, this red dot is constantly spreading downwards, with a strong tendency to go straight into the Earth's core.

"Director! Singularity reactions have begun to appear in Britain at the end of the fifth century!" Roman said hurriedly, looking at the information displayed by the spirit particle calculation device.

"How's the preparation for the spirit transfer going!" Olga Marie drove her black luxury sedan into the main hall and began her work with great enthusiasm. She typed something on the computer next to her, then frowned.

"Preparations are complete. This singularity seems unusual. Ritsuka, you need to be extra careful." Roman instinctively sensed something was amiss: this singularity had formed after Solomon completed the incineration of humanity.

"I understand." The savior, who had changed into her magical costume and brought along her junior, stood in the hall, preparing to move.

"Hmm... I'm counting on you." As the director, Olga Marie was unhappy that she could only stand by and do nothing in this situation.

But the next moment, a corner of the castle tore through Chaldea's alloy walls, and the Delan Castle, which had traveled through time, stormed into the Human Order Protection Agency. Its massive body, carrying unimaginable kinetic energy, sent Mash, who was trying to defend herself, flying.

The dragon's head emerging from the castle immediately spotted the basket, and its scorching breath instantly melted the necessary equipment for spirit particle transfer.
