94: In the Marvel Universe, 22 more women appeared in one day

Hashirama and the other three had just returned to Konoha.

They were met by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya flying towards them, her gaze fixed on Isshiki Otsutsuki, who Obito was carrying.

“Isshiki Otsutsuki… have you already dealt with him?”

“Yes, madam.”

The four bowed in response, then explained the battle in detail.

After listening to their descriptions, Kaguya fell into deep thought.

She hadn't expected the person who had once caused her so much worry to be dealt with so easily.

She didn't even need herself or Joa to intervene.

Letting out a sigh of relief, completely shedding a huge weight from her heart, Kaguya spoke.

“There’s no need to show him to Joa; you can handle it yourselves.”

With that, Kaguya's figure vanished instantly, a relieved smile on her face, as she returned to Tsunade, Konan, and the others.

After Kaguya left.

Hashirama and the other three exchanged glances.

“Since that’s the case, let’s give this corpse to Orochimaru and see if he can research anything useful.”

“...You go ahead, I’m going to see my nephew.”

“Big Brother, you and Obito go; I have a lot of things to deal with on my end.”

“Obito, please make a trip to Orochimaru’s lab; I’ll also go see Madara’s nephew.”

“……”

Obito watched them leave one by one, wanting to say something but holding back, and let out a long sigh.

“Why do I feel like my life is so difficult?”

······

A few years passed in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by Kaguya and the 20 female ninjas, including Tsunade.

Uchiha Hikari accepted reality in less than three months.

She also grew to love life at Joa’s Villa.

Now, almost an adult at the same time as Hanabi, she was about to welcome a highly anticipated event today.

That was...

Building blocks and puzzles.

Night.

In the bedroom, where only Joa, Hanabi, and Uchiha Hikari were present.

“Are you ready? I’m going to start.”

“Mm~”

The two, their voices like mosquitoes, kept their eyes tightly shut, unwilling to open them.

Before, they had only watched Joa and their older sisters build blocks and play puzzles, and it hadn't seemed like a difficult game then.

But when it was their turn, Hanabi and Hikari unconsciously became nervous.

Fortunately, the experienced driver Joa, with practiced ease, quickly alleviated the nervousness of Hanabi and Hikari, who were playing building blocks and puzzles for the first time.

But just as Joa was about to get down to business.

There was a sudden movement within his body.

‘Is the Digimon egg about to hatch?’

Stopping his movements, Joa took the Digimon egg out of his body and placed it on the bed, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Noticing Joa’s sudden stop, Hanabi and Hikari opened their eyes, looking surprised.

“Huh? Joa, what’s this?”

“A Digimon egg.”

“A Digimon egg?”

“Yes, a Digimon egg that can hatch a beautiful woman.”

Upon hearing this, Hanabi and Hikari chuckled, speechless.

Sure enough, only a beautiful woman could truly interest Joa.

While amused and speechless, Hanabi and Hikari also developed a strong curiosity about the Digimon egg.

How beautiful would the woman who hatched from this egg have to be to make Joa stop when things were already so heated?

Under the gaze of the three.

Cracks gradually appeared on the Digimon egg.

A few breaths later.

A cute White puppy broke out of the shell.

“This… where is this… didn’t I already die?”

The bedroom lights were dim, and the Gatomon couldn’t quite make out where it was, nor could it clearly see the faces of Joa, Hanabi, and Uchiha Hikari.

Seeing this, Joa moved his mind, turned on the bedroom light, and softly said,

“I told you before, just watch from the side.”

“Lucemon’s attacks can’t harm me.”

“Next time, don’t take it upon yourself to block damage for me, okay?”

“You made me wait so many years for you to hatch.”

After the lights came on and it saw Joa, Gatomon didn’t care why it still had its memories and immediately asked,

“Is Lucemon dead?”

“Are the Digital World and the real World saved?”

Fondly stroking Gatomon’s head, Joa smiled and replied,

“Of course they are saved.”

“Let’s not talk about that for now; today is a very important day. I’ll return the data to you first.”

“It’s good for you to be involved too.”

With that, without waiting for Gatomon to ask further questions, Joa began transferring the data stored within him to Gatomon.

As the massive amount of data rapidly transferred.

A pure White light gradually emanated from Gatomon’s body.

Rookie: Gatomon.

Champion: Angewomon.

Ultimate: Seraphimon. (Also known as Ophanimon.)

Seeing Gatomon evolve three times in a row, reaching the Ultimate level.

It seemed it could still receive data, and Joa was somewhat curious about what else it could evolve into.

He converted his energy into data and continued the transfer.

A few breaths later.

Black light burst forth from Ophanimon’s body.

Its appearance also began to change.

The helmet gradually shrunk, revealing its entire face, its skin turning pale, its eyes red, and fresh red tear marks beneath its eyes.

Its armor and the wings on its back also completely transformed.

Its weapon, too, changed from a gun and shield to a scythe.

Ultimate: Fallen Seraphimon.

‘Oh, this, this.’

‘Isn’t this Seraphimon's Fallen Mode?’

‘I remember this was Seraphimon’s Fallen Mode, evolved when she abandoned her emotions and went berserk due to extreme anger.’

‘Or perhaps you could say it’s a dark evolution?’

Joa couldn't quite remember.

He only remembered that in this form, Fallen Seraphimon still desired to hunt evil.

However, this evil… was determined by her.

If she deemed it evil, she would hunt it; if she deemed it not, then it was justice.

“Hahaha, this form of yours suits me even better.”

“I like it!”

When the evolution ended and Fallen Seraphimon, whose data capacity had reached its limit, heard this, her lips curved into a smile.

Her Fall evolution this time wasn't due to extreme anger or a dark evolution.

It was simply because she received Joa’s data.

But fallen is fallen.

Her inner thoughts and personality had changed from before.

That transcendent, saintly sense of justice was gone, replaced by her own justice.

Which meant, as Joa knew, she had her own set of standards for judging good and evil, justice and wickedness.

And this standard…

“You brought me to this World, so you’ll have to take good care of me, Joa.”

Was centered around herself and Joa.

Her armor automatically fell to the floor.

Fallen Seraphimon, under the dumbfounded gazes of Hanabi and Hikari, tackled Joa onto the large bed.

Completely oblivious to their surroundings, they began playing building blocks and puzzles.

“Ugh!”

A cry of pain brought Hanabi and Hikari back to their senses.

Then...

The three of them happily played building blocks and puzzles together.

As the sun rose high in the sky.

On the first floor of the Villa, Kaguya, Tsunade, Konan, and nearly 20 other female ninjas, who had been playing mahjong all night, walked upstairs.

Any sisters who played building blocks and puzzles with Joa for the first time would consciously give up one night.

This was an unspoken understanding they had long established.

After all… two or three was fine, but having over 20 people playing building blocks and puzzles for the first time was indeed a bit much.

But it was only for one night.

The next day, everyone would play building blocks and puzzles together.

······

A few months later.

Hanabi and Hikari, along with Fallen Seraphimon, Kaguya, Tsunade, and others—a total of 22 women—who had temporarily had enough of building blocks and puzzle games, returned to the Marvel Universe with Joa.

In the Villa.

‘I hope Lorna, Jill, Ada, Christine, and Wanda aren’t shocked when they get off work and come home.’

Looking at the moon outside the window, and then at Kaguya, Tsunade, Fallen Seraphimon, and the others exploring the Villa.

Joa felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation in his heart.

Polaris, Jill, Ada, and Christine were fine; he was mainly afraid of scaring Wanda.

He still wanted to capture Wanda’s heart.

If he scared her, her affection level might drop to Zero.

At this moment, less than a day had passed since Joa left the Marvel Universe.

For anyone, having their man gain 22 women in one day would likely be unbearable.

Let alone Wanda, who wasn't even Joa's woman yet.
