Love and Justice for All This! (Sixth Update, Extra Chapter for 2,500 Monthly Tickets, Please Subscribe!)

Uncle Ba was stunned.

After all…

Even if the Supreme Temple had been unable to stop Black Heart Demon immediately due to the restrictions imposed by the rules, Black Heart Demon now needed only one more pentagram to bring the Hell sealed away by King Arthur and Merlin the Mage back to Earth once again. By now, the Supreme Temple should have deployed its forces and tried to isolate it with mirror magic the moment the Hell Gate opened.

But that was not what had happened.

The Sorcerer Supreme had summoned all the mages from the New York Sanctum back to Kamar-Taj. Clearly, the Sorcerer Supreme had no intention of letting them interfere in this matter.

Why?

Uncle Ba looked at the Sorcerer Supreme in confusion. "Teacher, this power is unfamiliar, and it is indeed very powerful. But is it really enough to deal with Black Heart Demon, who has already opened a passage from himself to the Hell Dimension?"

The Ancient One, dressed in white robes, glanced at Uncle Ba, who had spoken. "You’ll know if you keep watching."

Uncle Ba: "…"

On Long Island, New York!

Boom!

The moment the Gemini Cloth’s box appeared, it opened from all four sides. Accompanied by brilliant golden light that shot into the sky, the Gold Cloth belonging to Gemini appeared.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Brilliantly golden.

With his upper body bare and his golden hair fluttering, Lake took a step forward.

Boom!

The Gemini Gold Cloth moved instantly. It broke apart into eight pieces and flew straight toward Lake.

Bang.

Click.

Thud.

Boom.

Three steps later.

After loading the Gemini Gold Cloth, Lake slapped away the helmet that was trying to fit itself onto his head. "Go crawl away."

Helmet: "…"

There was no doubt that the Gemini Gold Cloth looked incredibly cool. However, the helmet was ugly. For Lake, who firmly believed that appearance was justice, putting on that helmet would instantly lower his looks, and his chances of victory would probably drop along with them.

That was absolutely unacceptable.

The heavens and earth were vast, but face came first. And in this case, face also meant appearance.

Actually…

What Lake wanted most was not Gemini. At first, his favorite had been Virgo Shaka, who was said to be the closest to a god.

But since Gemini had been lit up, there was nothing he could do. After thinking about it, Lake decided that Gemini was pretty good too.

If Virgo Shaka was the Gold Saint said to be closest to a god, then Gemini Saga was said to be the incarnation of a god—a Gold Saint who excelled in mind, skill, and body.

Besides, Gemini was Gemini. Perhaps it would come in handy at other times.

Boom!

Lake raised his head. The star map of Gemini appeared deep within his eyes as he looked expressionlessly at Black Heart Demon. "As the price for making me awaken, I promise you that you will die without the slightest pain!"

I’ll swallow you whole.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lake stepped forward with one foot and back with the other. The Gemini star map instantly blossomed behind him. "For love and justice, the Zodiac, Gemini, Saga!"

At that moment.

Many people heard Lake’s voice clearly.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury frowned at the same time.

"The Zodiac?"

"Is it some newly emerged organization, or one that has been hiding very deeply?"

"Searching now, sir."

Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury exchanged a glance. From the look in each other’s eyes, they seemed to catch a faint glimmer of recognition, as though they had heard that name somewhere before.

But after the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents searched through everything, they found nothing at all.

Magic Dimension.

Compared with the silent Federal Magic World, the people of the London Wizarding World seemed to look at Lake more warmly after hearing him say, "For love and justice."

After all…

Love and justice clearly marked him as an upright character.

Hermione’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared unblinkingly at the projection. Lake stood there in his Gemini Gold Cloth, his golden hair fluttering in the soaring aura around him. The corners of her lips curved upward slightly, as though she had thought of something amusing.

After all, Hermione knew the story Lake had told. In the story, the Saints might indeed have fought for love and justice, but Gemini Saga?

He had killed the Pope, become the Pope, and even tried to contend with the God of the Sea and the God of the Underworld. He was filled with boundless ambition.

Kamar-Taj.

Almost the moment Lake loaded the Gold Cloth, Uncle Ba exclaimed in surprise once more. "His power has increased."

The Gold Cloth was not merely a battle suit. It was also an amplifier, capable of greatly enhancing a Saint’s combat power—and multiplicatively, not additively.

The Ancient One continued drinking tea, much like the Nameless One.

Full health: drink tea calmly. Low health: run wild everywhere!

On Long Island!

"Roar."

The moment Lake struck his pose, Black Heart Demon let out a furious roar. He could no longer maintain his physical form and plunged directly into the darkness. "Since that’s the case, then go to hell!"

In an instant.

The black mist in the darkness began spreading downward. Like darkness awakening, it rapidly enveloped the entire power plant in endless darkness.

Lake appeared beside Iron Man. With a whoosh, he threw Iron Man away. "You’re too weak. Get out!"

Iron Man flew through the air.

Even with Iron Man’s propulsion system running at full power, he still could not cancel out this force. By the time he had completely neutralized it, he landed with a thud outside the cordon.

More precisely, beside Lake.

"Ow!"

The Lake clone raised an eyebrow and looked at Iron Man beside him. "I told you to get out, but you didn’t. Why would we ordinary humans get involved in this kind of battle?"

Iron Man said nothing. His gaze fell on the hundreds of corpses before him, each holding up a sign and transformed into a dried corpse.

Inside the wind farm.

Within the darkness that filled the sky and nearly covered the entire space, huge tentacles born from darkness stretched out. Black Heart Demon’s voice echoed from every direction within the darkness. "I’ll make you understand just how foolish it is to oppose Hell."

Lake chuckled.

The enormous dark tentacles filling the sky roared as they struck at Lake from every direction. Lake stood in place, rapidly bringing his hands together in front of himself.

Oppose Hell?

If the fundamental law of my Divine Kingdom weren’t plunder, it wouldn’t matter even if you turned Earth into part of the Hell Dimension.

Unfortunately…

I need a Divine Kingdom, and the birth of a Divine Kingdom requires a Hell. It just so happens that your Hell Dimension appeared first. After I devour you, I’ll devour Witchcraft Demon, then Mephisto. By then, my Divine Kingdom will have its underworld.

Lake smiled coldly, and his clasped hands abruptly spread apart.

"Galaxy—Explosion!"

"Boom!"

Shocking golden light erupted directly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Satellite One has burned out!"

"Satellite Two has malfunctioned!"

"Satellite Three…"

Within S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Three Feathers, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent turned and said to Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce, "Sir, we’ve lost Long Island."

It was not only S.H.I.E.L.D. Even the Wizarding World and Kamar-Taj, which were using supernatural magic to observe the scene, found their screens completely covered by blinding, endless golden light.

Some supernatural newcomers who had just entered the field instinctively looked away, shielding themselves from the dense golden light.

Lake spread both hands toward the dark tentacles roaring toward him from every direction. In an instant, his Sixth Sense granted him enlightenment, and the power of his Cosmo erupted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the golden light flashed, the darkness contained within one dark tentacle after another was devoured by Lake. There were as many golden fist shadows from this Galaxy—Explosion as there were dark tentacles.

Black Heart Demon’s face twisted viciously. "Aaaaah~~~~"

Lake stood as immovable as a mountain. The projection of the Gemini star map behind him grew increasingly brilliant.

Come.

I’m only afraid you won’t fight me head-on.

The Force Seed danced joyfully in his mental sea.

The plundered darkness source was continuously absorbed. After absorbing it, the Force Seed further spread it into the mutually complementary Cosmo. Lake’s own Cosmo expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the light of Gemini, already lit within his Cosmo, grew ever more dazzling.

Black Heart Demon sensed that something was wrong. It was not only his own feeling. Behind him, in the Hell Dimension connected to him, an angry voice was warning him.

The power of the Hell Dimension was constantly being plundered. Although the amount taken each time was not large, the sheer number of times made up for it. In this brief period, nearly one-fiftieth of the Hell Dimension’s source had already been plundered.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden fist shadows filling the sky vanished as the dark tentacles continued disappearing.

"Damn it."

Black Heart Demon demanded furiously of Lake, "Who are you?"

Lake’s golden hair fluttered. "The Zodiac, Gemini, Gold Saint, Saga. I fight for love and justice, to protect it all."

As he spoke.

Lake looked expressionlessly at Black Heart Demon. "I told you. Not everyone fears your tricks of pretending to be a god."

"…"

Black Heart Demon listened to the voice coming from Hell. With a bang, he transformed directly into black mist. "Saga of Gemini, I swear that you will suffer Hell’s endless pursuit!"

"Useless."

Lake looked at Black Heart Demon, who was preparing to flee, and chuckled softly. Watching Black Heart Demon attempt to escape in every direction and return to Hell, he spread his arms. With a whoosh, he appeared in midair above the arena.

The endless black mist repeatedly bombarded Dragonfly Captain’s law arena. With every strike, Lake received another portion of darkness source. After all, he had created this arena as well.

Black Heart Demon attacked frenziedly.

There was no other reason.

He had already sensed death approaching.

Above.

Lake formed a finger with his right hand. Gazing into the endless darkness before him, he pressed it against his brow. "I invite you into my labyrinth. I believe we’ll have an enjoyable battle."

One minute remained. This battle should end now.

"Gemini!"

"Labyrinth—"

"Boom!"

"Ah!!!!!"

"…"
