Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

"My sweet baby, my sweet baby, come and tell me, what are the real goals of those people outside?"

Tomie Moro tilted her head, a strand of black hair slipping from her shoulder, gleaming like satin in the dim light. She asked in a slow, almost mocking tone.

"A young man in a white hunting robe. According to the Superintendent General's orders, this man is the bottom line for negotiations. Everyone else is a smokescreen. As long as he can survive, even the Superintendent General can be abandoned if necessary."

The head of the negotiation team had a vacant look in his eyes, as if they were veiled by a thin mist, but his answer was without the slightest hesitation.

"A resurrector...?"

Moro Tomie seemed to be deep in thought, her gaze shifting to the unconscious Resurrected Soul Master.

After being knocked unconscious by the swordsman Tomie, he has remained lying there, still unconscious, just like everyone else.

At the same time, the swordsman Tomie also opened her eyes.

In that instant, a fleeting, pale white glint flashed deep within her dark pupils, like a master swordsman suddenly drawing his blade in a dark room. The moment the sword was drawn, all the killing intent and sharpness condensed into a single line, making the air around her seem to tremble slightly, and dust scattering in all directions under the invisible pressure.

Her body, which had been sitting cross-legged, did not move an inch, but her right hand had already placed on the hilt of the sword placed across her knee. With a flick of her wrist, the tip of the sword silently rose, pointing at the resurrected man's neck.

The runes on the sword glowed with a faint white light; in the blink of an eye, the Soul Reaper would die by her sword.

"Oh dear~~"

At that moment, Tomie's voice drifted in from the side, her melodious tone carrying a hint of coquettishness in every word, interrupting the swordswoman Tomie's actions.

"Is he going to kill someone the moment he opens his eyes? Is he cosplaying Guan Yu?"

Her voice rose at the end, carrying a playful tone.

"What the enemy wants to protect, should be destroyed."

Swordswoman Tomie glanced at Mara Tomie and said coldly.

This is the simplest logic. As for the enemy's purpose in protecting the Resurrected Soul Master, or what kind of chain reaction will be triggered after the Resurrected Soul Master's death, these are not within the scope of the Sword Master Tomie's consideration, and she doesn't care about those trivial matters.

"That's a really simple and crude way of thinking. But you're the kind of person who's always thinking about yourself."

Tomie Moro twirled the ends of her hair with her fingertips, her red lips curving into an eerie arc.

Swordsman Tomie frowned, the arch not high, but the lines of her entire face tightened as a result, and her cold gaze, like a sharp blade, cut into Tomie's eyes.

She didn't need to speak; her hostile and impatient gaze spoke volumes.

"Ugh!"

Moro Tomie shook his head and sighed at the swordsman Tomie's lack of understanding, but there was still a smile in his sigh.

"Think about it, why is the Resurrection Master the bottom line? Isn't it because if the Resurrection Master dies, those who live because of the Resurrection Master will also lose their lives? It's a clean and decisive solution."

She held up one finger and asked the swordswoman Tomie in a teasing tone.

"So what? Do I need to care about those people's lives?"

Swordswoman Tomie coldly retorted, her grip on her sword remaining perfectly still.

"Of course you don't need it. After all, your goal is to rise through the ranks by eliminating this country. But others do need it. They need to control this country through a lot of their lackeys. It would be quite boring if all these lackeys who have gained power suddenly died, wouldn't it?"

Tomie Moro narrowed her eyes, her smile becoming even more radiant.

Yes, it's boring, not troublesome.

Although killing the Resurrector would cause a large number of high-ranking officials whose lives were extended because of the Resurrector to die, making the remaining people more vigilant and attentive, Tomie Moro didn't care about this trivial matter. What she cared about was another interesting thing.

There's no need to worry about upsetting Ah Lin; this is the only batch of toys that can manipulate consciousness and modify personality at will.

"what ever."

Swordswoman Tomie let out a cold snort. Although her killing intent had not completely dissipated, the tip of her sword had ultimately missed the Resurrector's vital point. She shoved the Resurrector Sword back into its sheath and no longer looked at the unconscious previous generation Resurrector.

"That's more like it."

Tomie Maro smiled with satisfaction, a smile as beautiful and dangerous as a blooming poppy.

"You've been talking about my toy for so long, what about you? You've been sitting there holding that sword for so long, you couldn't have just been meditating, could you? Let me see what new progress our great swordsman has made!"

Tomie Maro's eyes sparkled, and her tone returned to its usual light and curious tone.

Swordswoman Tomie looked down at her left hand. Her five fingers slowly closed, and the bulging muscles on the back of her hand and arm swelled slightly. A faint, warm white light flowed under her skin.

The next second, her massive body began to shrink. The bulging muscles and keratinized skin smoothed out, softened, and reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shoulders narrow, the chest becomes less thick, the waist tightens, and the thick lines of the arms and legs become slender and well-proportioned.

In a few breaths, she regained her original well-proportioned female figure. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be almost unimaginable what kind of powerful force this seemingly slender body had just unleashed.

At the same time, the rhythm of the swordsman Tomie's breathing also underwent some subtle changes.

The original long and steady breathing has been transformed into a deeper and slower cycle.

With each inhale, the air around her seemed to converge slightly towards her; with each exhale, something invisible emanated from the pores of her body.

The aura has changed.

Moro Tomie keenly sensed this; the swordsman Tomie's aura... was even stronger! It was more powerful than any of her previous outbursts, and it was also more sustained and composed.

Swordsman Tomie raised her right arm, her fingers forming a knife-like shape, and casually slashed at the intact floor beside her.

"Snap!"

The hand sliced ​​through the air, yet descended with a heavy wind pressure. The instant the fingertips touched the ground, the thick solid wood floor seemed to be cleaved in two by an invisible blade, a neat cut nearly an inch deep and almost two meters long suddenly appearing, with wood chips swirling up to both sides.

But her slender, jade-like hand remained completely unharmed. Swordswoman Tomie raised her hand, flipped her wrist, and her small, delicate hand still had fair, tender skin, without even a single red mark.

"The basics of the new breathing technique involve guiding life force within the body to fluctuate through breathing, thereby unleashing tremendous power. The current limit is... five times the power; an even stronger burst will cause the body to expand."

Swordswoman Tomie spoke casually, as if discussing the weather, but even breaking a cookie wasn't that easy.

As she said these words, she pressed her palm against the ground beside her.

A faint, milky-white light, like smoke or mist, slowly seeped from the pores of her palm, without damaging the wood in the slightest. Instead, as if it had a life of its own, it seeped into the grain of the floor and spread silently in all directions of the mansion along the structure beneath the floor, the beams, the foundation, the soil...

The spread of this light is not offensive, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the soil and wood with the naked eye, just like the invisible ripples created by a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Tomie Moro tilted her head, watching with great interest. Of course, she couldn't see; she was using the [Tomie Network] and the perception of the swordswoman Tomie to sense the life force emanating from the pores of her palm.

It was like a biological radar; the released life force kept spreading out and echoing back, all the echoes intertwining into a three-dimensional net that enveloped all the activity within a fifty-meter radius inside and outside the mansion.

"Six men, divided into two groups, four on the east side and two on the north side. They are armed and approach slowly."

Swordswoman Tomie opened her eyes, her tone completely calm.

Before she finished speaking, she pressed her palm down on the floor, and a faint white light emanated from it.

"Buzz—"

The vibrations that were transmitted close to the ground became incredibly intense, like a deep and powerful shockwave, spreading out along the life force veins that had spread throughout the floor!

"Ugh—!" "Thump!" "Snap!"

Almost simultaneously, several muffled groans and sounds of people falling to the ground, along with clear cracking sounds, came from the side of the mansion, the rear corridor, and the connecting area of ​​the courtyard!

The SWAT team members who were quietly infiltrating suddenly felt an extremely concentrated and fierce impact on the ground beneath their feet, like a heavy hammer striking their ankles, calves and even knees from below.

In an instant, their fragile bones snapped and deformed, and everyone immediately screamed and collapsed to the ground, completely losing their ability to move.

"Plants, soil, rocks, and water—these creations of nature contain very weak life force. Using them as a medium, life force can be transmitted more efficiently for attack."

Swordsman Tomie slowly withdrew her hand, and the faint milky white aura on the ground quickly dissipated without a trace, leaving the floor intact as if nothing had happened.

After saying that, she closed her eyes again, her consciousness extending outwards along the nerve lines of [Tomie Network].

Fragments of images from Amamiya Rin's side flooded in—the Saeki family's staircase, the pervasive malice, a psychic with the power to destroy a nation at the bottom of the stairs, and a curse with the potential to destroy the world at the top...

(……trouble.)

Through Amamiya Rin's eyes, the swordswoman Tomie met Kayako's eyes, which were filled with resentment and anger, at close range, and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

It's clear that Amamiya Rin is trying to influence Kayako. If her actions cause any changes, will it trigger a chain reaction and interfere with his plans?

With a change of heart, the swordswoman Tomie abandoned Amamiya Rin and saw the person closest to Amamiya Rin.

That imposter who idolizes muscular beauty seems to be heading towards Lin Jun's side.

Okay, she's the one.

Without further hesitation, the swordswoman Tomie took a deep breath. The warm and powerful life force within her body no longer spread along the surface of her body or the ground, but instead surged from a different angle, flowing through a deeper channel—the invisible nerve threads that connect all of Tomie.

Buzz...!

A subtle tremor traveled along the [Tomie Network], and through those invisible nerve threads, the swordsman Tomie sent out a vast yet gentle life force.

On the street, Rougaifujiang, who was rushing forward headfirst, suddenly froze.

"Well?!"

A warm and abundant current flowed into her limbs and bones without warning, like parched land receiving sweet rain.

Her spirits, which had been slightly fatigued from the long run, were instantly lifted, her muscles and bones emitted a pleasant groan, and even her skin seemed to glow with a healthy sheen.

"W-This is...?!"

The thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately sensed the source of the warm current.

(You can do that... Wait! Isn't this the Ripple Breathing Technique?)

The one who asked the question wasn't the flesh-modified Tomie, but the vampire Tomie. That guy had been watching the show from afar, and when he sensed the various techniques that the swordsman Tomie used to unleash her life force, he was dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me? They created the Ripple Breathing Technique in the supernatural world?

(This is merely a rudimentary application of life force. The third technique involves directly transmitting life force through the thread between us, without needing the Soul Reaper's Sword. This is our privilege.)

Swordswoman Tomie responded calmly.

The life force manipulation techniques she created are similar to, yet different from, the Ripple Breathing technique spoken by the vampire Tomie.

At least, the transmission of Ripple is a normal application in the Ripple system of JoJo, but in this world it is a privilege reserved for Resurrectors and the Resurrector's Sword.

She was able to transmit her life force without relying on the Resurrection Master's sword because everyone in the [Tomie Network] shared the same organ—the cranial nerve.

All of them have interconnected cranial nerves, so they can be considered as one person, or as a whole.

The cranial nerves and brain—that is, the [Tomie Network]—are their main body, while their bodies can be regarded as the torso of the [Tomie Network].

(This is still a very basic application... Wow, isn't this an enormous gain? It's like everyone can obtain powerful strength whenever they need it!)

Rougai Fujiang continued running, gritting his teeth in his mind.

If she can gain immense power so easily, what's the point of her arduous training?

(This is indeed a rudimentary usage. I am a swordsman, a samurai, a master swordsman, wielding a sword that kills. Why would you think that this most basic use of energy is a high-level skill?)

"I am a swordsman," said Tomie calmly.

By using life force to strengthen the body, and by transmitting life force through substances containing life to create attacks, life force is transferred to Amamiya Rin through the [Tomie Network], bypassing the Resurrection Master's Sword.

These techniques may seem magical, but they are actually not clever at all. They are simply the most basic exercises that guide the movement of life force through breathing.

(Also, do you think all Tomies are interested in fighting? Even if they are, why would I waste all that life force I've collected on an incompetent imposter?)

Swordsman Tomie chuckled.

How could she possibly allow other Tomies to enjoy the right to gain something for nothing?

Upon hearing this, all of Tomie's speechless.

No problem, that's Tomie for you. What Tomie would sacrifice herself for others? If there really was a Tomie like that, the other Tomies would laugh their heads off, right?
