Meanwhile, at Fisk Tower several blocks away.
"Achoo—!"
Su Modie, who was curled up on the sofa watching the battle while urging Kumashi and Kotetsu Isane to clean up the Chitauri corpses, suddenly let out a loud sneeze.
A sudden chill made her shiver.
Su Modie blankly poked her head out and turned to look out the broken floor-to-ceiling windows of the tower.
New York... it's actually snowing?!
Large flakes of snow were fluttering down, covering the smoking wreckage of the Chitauri flying speeders.
Yes, the "Minazuki" released by Unohana Retsu's Bankai wasn't actually creating an independent alternate dimension.
That boundless sea of blood and that despair-inducing space for a death match were essentially an illusion created by her thousand-year-old, viscous Spiritual Pressure combined with terrifying psychological suggestions—a sensory deception so overbearing that even a god like Loki, who excelled in illusions, fell deep into it.
Loki had actually been in New York the whole time, and so had Unohana Retsu.
Of course, that churning sea of blood was indeed real, just not quite so boundless.
Unohana Retsu had literally flooded more than half the block with blood.
Not only that, but her terrifying thousand-year Spiritual Pressure had already caused intense thermal air current distortions.
Even if the highest-definition optical satellites in outer space tried to zoom in and lock on, the surveillance footage would only show a blur of air ripples. In other words, S.H.I.E.L.D. was currently completely in the dark about what was happening on this street, left to fret helplessly on their mothership.
But that wasn't the main point right now.
The point was...
"No way, big sister..."
Su Modie was dumbfounded, her thoughts messy in the cold wind. "Did you really make Loki power up?!"
Is she some kind of jinx?
For a moment, Su Modie wanted to cry but had no tears.
Sister Hua, is your Bankai cursed or something?!
The plot of "God of Death" flashed through Su Modie's mind—Unohana Retsu had only shown her Bankai once in her life.
That was to help Zaraki Kenpachi break through his psychological shackles and restore his former peak combat power. To achieve this, Unohana Retsu had literally killed Zaraki Kenpachi thousands of times and resurrected him thousands of times within "Minazuki."
Until all of Kenpachi's potential was squeezed out, causing him to awaken, and then...
She willingly died under the blade of the post-breakthrough Kenpachi.
Su Modie couldn't understand it at all when she first watched it.
It's fine if you break through, but why kill my waifu?!
Aren't we on the same side?
All I can say is that Tite Kubo really did a number on people, coming up with the setting that "there can only be one Kenpachi in an era."
But looking at it now, Su Modie suddenly realized that Unohana Retsu herself was a god-like person...
It perfectly matched her life creed: "Fighting is everything."
Sister Hua is a top-tier Doctor, but as a strict teacher who "enlightens" others and forces them to break through their potential, she's like a conceptual god.
"If I'd known this passive skill was so useful, I would've asked Sister Hua to give me some special training too..."
Su Modie muttered under her breath.
"Maybe I could've powered up on the spot and awakened an ability or something..."
Of course, it was just a thought...
If she actually had to go into Minazuki to spar with Unohana Retsu... never mind...
Like I said, her small frame really couldn't handle Sister Hua's "tutelage"...
Meanwhile, sensing the unease of her main body, Unohana Retsu was constantly transmitting a sense of joy through their connected consciousness, as if saying, "Master, don't worry. It's fine. I can still toy with him however I want, and now it'll be even more fun."
She wanted Su Modie to relax, but Su Modie wasn't buying it.
As a mastermind who was cautious to the point of being a bit cowardly at heart, she knew full well that villains died from talking too much or getting cocky.
Unohana Retsu could follow her whims and enjoy the slaughter, but as the leader of the Villainesses, Su Modie had to minimize all unknown variables.
She took a deep breath and called up the Villainess panel to see if there was anything that could help.
The bad news was that after this battle, her accumulated simulation value had evaporated like water.
To maintain high-intensity multi-tasking and global command, Su Modie had to spam items on herself.
The prices in this black-hearted Shop were absolutely ridiculous—the "Improvement Potion" to level up from 1 to 2 was only 50 points, the "Basic Potion" for 2 to 3 was 300 points, but the "Advanced Potion" for 3 to 4 skyrocketed to 2400 points!
Gritting her teeth, Su Modie spent a total of 5,100 simulation value points to pull her Stamina from 2 to 4 and her Intelligence from 3 to 4—
[Stamina: 2 → 4 (Congratulations, you are no longer a fragile porcelain doll. Period cramps? Colds? Non-existent. Even if you're sent flying by a speeding truck, as long as your head isn't blown off on the spot, you'll be back on your feet after a full meal and a good night's sleep.)]
[Intelligence: 3 → 4 (A complete transformation of mental power! You can now easily multitask ten things at once, point out design flaws in Tony Stark's early armor with a casual glance, and even conveniently hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network to wipe your dark history clean.)]
What do Stamina 4 and Intelligence 4 actually represent?
Wolverine and Sabretooth, those two Mutant brothers, are the standard for Stamina 4.
Su Modie now possesses cellular regeneration and self-healing abilities just like them. This means that even though she's still physically weak, if she faced those gang Thugs again, she wouldn't die even after being beaten for three days and nights...
Why does that sound even more pathetic...
Then what about Intelligence 4?
Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Green Goblin are all at this level.
In other words, even if Su Modie didn't have any Villainess incarnations right now, she could still make a career for herself in Marvel with just her transformed little brain—
Whether it's hand-building a high-tech suit for self-protection or founding "Su Modie Industries."
Even if she didn't reach the very top, it would be enough to become an evil capitalist.
It's also worth mentioning... Star-Lord is also Intelligence 4...
...
It suddenly feels like the value of Intelligence 4 has been dragged down, doesn't it!
Aside from the 5,100 points spent on her own attributes, plus the string of large bills like "-5000, -3500, -1500" for temporarily purchasing Galio, Angel Devil, and other summons...
All in all, this battle had burned through over twenty thousand simulation value points!
This had almost completely drained the savings Su Modie had hoarded for over half a year.
Although Lux, Perona, and the others also generated some simulation value during the war, it wasn't nearly enough to fill this massive hole.
[Current simulation value: 4642]
Looking at the remaining balance of less than five thousand, Su Modie felt a pang of heartache.
She secretly swore not to spend simulation value so lavishly again for a while.
But compared to the simulation value, what really made her eyes light up was another stat.
The villainess value, which had been nearly depleted and wasn't even enough for a single draw, had seen an unprecedented surge because of the full-scale outbreak of the Battle of New York!
The only pity was that killing space cockroaches like the Chitauri didn't grant villainess value.
Otherwise, Su Modie would definitely farm them for three days and nights. But the good news was...
Although Lux's Final Spark and Galio's "Hero's Entrance" didn't harm any innocents because the civilians had already evacuated, the astronomical economic loss from smashing several blocks into ruins was definitely enough to drive S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the top brass of the U.S. government crazy for a long time.
Add to that the tons of psychological trauma the Villainesses had inflicted on Hulk and the brothers from Asgard.
All of this caused Su Modie's villainess value to soar to an all-time high—
[Current villainess value: 3042]
Yes, over three thousand points!
This meant...
This massive dividend from the Battle of New York was enough for Su Modie to draw three brand-new Villainess incarnations all at once!
