Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

But because of this, Jia Ying's long-standing question was answered: why Skye, an Inhuman who only has the ability to create shockwaves, possesses the ability to fly at Mach levels.

Even when the afterlife was still a long way off, Gordon clearly felt danger and fear, and was even immobilized and unable to use his abilities.

That's why Skye was able to accurately find the afterlife.

It turns out that Skye was a Terran.

Jia Ying didn't even need to think too much; she had already guessed Skye's identity—either a Raven Warrior or a battle monk of the Grey Knights.

Skye continued speaking.

She stroked the little girl's head nestled beside her and said softly, "From the beginning, you have been influencing me, both openly and secretly, trying to make me hate humans."

“I understand you, because after having your experience, any hatred is understandable.”

"I also hate people like that, but humanity is a complex group. There are bad people, and there are also kind and innocent people."

"Whitehold, no, he should be called Werner Reinhardt, he's been caught, he's being tortured by his father."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Ying could no longer sit still and suddenly stood up.

The other extraordinary people looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, but no one spoke; instead, they listened silently.

They weren't stupid; they were able to glean some information from Jia Ying and Skye's conversation.

“I understand your pain, and I understand some of your actions. After Whitehold dismembered you, your father stitched you back together, but that still affected your vitality, didn’t it?”

"What did you do before establishing the afterlife?"

"Do you think we can't find out?"

Skye's calm gaze met Jia Ying's directly, which greatly stung Jia Ying.

Jia Ying's face turned very pale.

Yes, it was a secret hidden deep within her heart, a secret unknown to anyone but her and Calvin.

But her daughter found out about this secret.

After she was dismembered, Calvin stitched up her remains, and thanks to her incredible resilience, she survived.

However, this also greatly damages its vitality.

Her weakness, her life force about to die, combined with the hatred she felt for humanity at that time due to the torment she had endured, resulted in her draining the life force of an entire village.

That's how she survived.

Unfortunately, this still couldn't sustain her, so in the years after the establishment of the afterlife, the village's elderly elders voluntarily dedicated their limited life force to maintain her youth.

Skye took out a diary and gently placed it on the table.

Jia Ying's eyes flickered.

"This is all a record of your longing for me; it's beautiful and very real."

"But it didn't record the madness hidden deep within you."

“Look me in the eyes.”

Skye's dark pupils glowed red, which was very noticeable in the firelight.

Jia Ying, Gordon, and the other superhumans felt a chill run down their spines for some reason.

When I looked directly into those eyes, I had a vague feeling that all my truest thoughts were being seen through.

"It's called Observation Haki. It's an extremely powerful ability, bestowed upon us by the Emperor. It allows me to see through a person's truest emotions."

Skye's calm words exploded in Jia Ying's heart like a thunderclap.

She could no longer maintain her expression; her face, covered in stitched scars, began to contort, the scars writhing, devoid of its former gentleness.

The children and other strange people watching were vaguely frightened.

Jia Ying, the leader he used to know best, suddenly became much more unfamiliar.

"From the initial joy of seeing it, to the later fear, dissatisfaction, and anger, none of these can escape its perception."

"You know Terra, right? And you know the Emperor."

"Then one thing becomes clear: the Mutant Immigration Act. Mutants, like Inhumans, are rejected by humans, and they have also suffered a lot."

"But now, they live well in Terra. They are no longer ostracized, hated, or insulted. Everyone can live peacefully and harmoniously in Terra."

"You can enjoy modern education and medical resources, and you no longer have to worry about anyone taking you away."

"You have dedicated over a decade to the cause of the Inhumans. Now, I formally extend an invitation, on behalf of the Emperor, to you and to the entire afterlife, to join Terra."

"But you will need to go to the courtroom."

Skye finished speaking.

All the Inhumans stood up, their expressions complex. Gordon immediately walked up to Jia Ying.

Young, unconventional individuals like Lincoln were more confused and perplexed.

Because none of them had ever heard of Terra, nor did they know about the Emperor, the only thing they could glean from Skye's words was that this country called Terra seemed to be very inclusive and powerful.

Otherwise, there would be no so-called mutant immigration bill.

It is also impossible for them to tolerate mutants.

They were confused yet hopeful. They were all young, and while they longed for the tranquility of the afterlife, they also yearned for new things.

"Skye, you want me to be sent to court?"

Jia Ying was so angry that he laughed instead.

She never expected her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for twenty years, to have changed so much. Her composure, insight, and strength were beyond her imagination, and she also possessed a firm belief that she couldn't understand.

They were even willing to put her on trial.

Jia Ying had learned about Terra, and naturally, she also knew the status and function of the Inquisition within the Terra Empire.

"The Emperor said that Terra is more wicked to the wicked and more kind to the good. You were an innocent person at the beginning, but you need to be judged for doing wrong."

"This is an ironclad rule."

Skye's attitude was very firm.

From Terra's investigation, she realized how many innocent people Jia Ying had drained of their life force to survive—the entire village, including many children.

This sin cannot be absolved by the excuse that Jia Ying was also a victim.

If she didn't know, that would be one thing, but since she did know, she was determined to bring Jia Ying to court and put her on trial.

The principles of fairness are ingrained in our very being.

Of course, this is not just about putting family members first, but also about resolving problems in advance.

The future of the Terra Empire is destined to be the unification of the entire Earth.

At that time, an internal investigation and purge process will be launched in the courtroom, with the aim of investigating all crimes, big and small, serious and not serious.

Jia Ying is already burdened with sins; if she is given more time to launch her so-called insane plan, her sins will only deepen.

The trial they will face will only be more severe.

The most severe human laws are the death penalty or life imprisonment, but these are not enough to deter many evildoers.

But Terra is different.

Terra's legal framework is designed to inflict physical pain and not only to torment the soul.

The Inquisition is already studying the possibility of creating a special area at the border of Hell once it is conquered, to imprison the souls of unforgivable criminals and subject them to the endless torment of hellfire for ten to a thousand or even ten thousand years.

Throwing Jia Ying to trial now still offers a chance for redemption. As Jia Ying's daughter, Skye's achievements might be able to absolve her of some of her sins.

But if the sins committed in the future are too great, the consequences will be entirely different.

Skye possesses both emotional and rational judgment.

But Jia Ying didn't understand; she only saw her daughter's resolute and cold-hearted attitude towards her.

She laughed even more wildly.

"Good, very good. This is my daughter. You have been brainwashed by humans and become the lackey of that so-called emperor, even going so far as to torture your mother?"

"Everything I've done is simply to find a way for my fellow countrymen to survive."

"No one is allowed to cause damage."

"Catch her."

Jia Ying finally issued the order in a cold and ruthless manner.

Lincoln and the other young outsiders exchanged glances and hesitated, but Gordon did not. He was loyal to Jia Ying and would only carry out her orders and ideals.

He knew he might not be a match for Skye, but he was still fearless and prepared to charge at her.

Unfortunately, just as Gordon had this thought, Skye's gaze fell on him.

The terrifying, overwhelming, and domineering aura in his eyes suddenly erupted, like a volcanic eruption.

Rumble!

A ripple of red light exploded, and under the night sky, accompanied by thunder, red and black lightning danced and burst open in a chaotic dance.

Gordon's body was instantly frozen in place. The powerful domineering will washed over him, turning his mind into mush. He stood there dumbfounded, his whole body trembling.

Courage was shattered, leaving only cowardice and fear in his heart.

The other Inhumans were not affected by Conqueror's Haki. With precise control, and only a slight effect of Conqueror's Haki, they all became like Gordon.

I dare not move an inch.

A strong wind swept through, causing the campfire flames to flicker wildly. Skye stood rooted to the spot, the hem of her trench coat billowing wildly.

She looked at Jia Ying.

"Sister~"

On her lap, the little girl's small hands clung to her, her head tilted up timidly, her little face full of fear.

In her tiny mind, neither she nor her friends knew what was happening.

All I know is that this pretty older sister had a conflict with Aunt Jia Ying.

The little girl wanted Skye to stop arguing and fighting, but Conqueror's Haki had no effect on her or the other children.

Skye looked down at the group of children around her.

With a gentle expression, ignoring Jia Ying's livid face, he knelt down and hugged the little girl named Ashley.

She turned her head and glanced at the timid children beside her, then said softly, "Do you want to see the outside world, or do you want to stay here?"

"Outside, you don't need to worry about being rejected. You can have lots and lots of friends, go to school, live in big houses, watch TV, play games, go to amusement parks, and eat lots of delicious food."

"You can stay here for now, that's fine too."

"Wherever the adults go, we will go."

Ashley listened to Skye's words with some longing, but after thinking for a moment, she timidly spoke up.

"Okay, we're not arguing, we're just discussing, so don't be afraid."

Skye patted the little girl and the other children on the head, and finally stood up.

She spoke to Jia Ying, and to all the other superhumans, in an unquestionable tone: "This world has changed. I will not force you to join Terra."

"You can live here without worrying about being disturbed."

"You can also join Terra. Terra will provide you with jobs and a stable life."

"This world has both good and bad, and emperors will protect the kind-hearted."

"So everyone else has a choice, but your biological mother doesn't?" Jia Ying was still trying to struggle.

Skye stood in front of Jia Ying and gently shook her head: "I won't say this is for your own good. I know you can't listen to this either. You can't escape Terra's judgment unless you die now."
