Jinbei refused to back down, however, citing his massive investment in the project as the reason he couldn’t just abandon it. “Besides, this is an achievement no man will surpass, ever!” he declared.

Chiyo wasn’t convinced and rightly pointed out the potential dangers of their plan. “But, what if the containment fails and Mayadenava’s power goes out of control? It’ll bring destruction to the whole world instead of betterment, right?” she argued.

Jinbei brushed off her concerns, citing the supposed divine guidance he had received. “It won’t happen. A divine mind told us that,” he said.

When Shiori asked about this supposed divine mind, Jinbei revealed that they had acquired the brain of an almighty alien titan named Styrx from their partner company, Votech, with the consent of their CEO, Merlin Azrabel.

Ryonoken was shocked at the revelation. “Merlin the inter-realms pilgrim? That guy can do anything to bend or restore history, for purposes we can’t fathom,” he exclaimed.

Jinbei continued to boast about the information they had extracted from Styrx’s memory, which included how to harness Mayadenava’s infinite power. But when Keiji asked about how Styrx fell and died, Jinbei admitted that they didn’t know about that because it was all hushed up.

Shingo began to suspect that Merlin Azrabel was the true culprit behind the chaos they were facing, and resolved to confront him once they had dealt with Jinbei.

But before Shingo could finish his thought, Jinbei launched into a furious tirade against them. “If you survive my wrath here and now, you runts of a…” he began, before being cut off by the sound of an explosion in the distance.

Jinbei’s command made his squad ready for a full-scale attack on the Amiga twins and their group. Their weapons were loaded, and their fingers were on the trigger as they stood in a circular formation, surrounding their enemies.

However, Shingo and Shiori stood unfazed, their auras still radiating a golden light that made Jinbei’s soldiers hesitant to take any action.

“Your arrogance blinds you, Jinbei,” Shingo said calmly. “You think you can control the power of Mayadenava, but you fail to see the consequences of your actions. The power you seek is beyond human comprehension, and it will only bring destruction to this world.”

Jinbei gritted his teeth, refusing to back down. “I will not let anyone stop me from achieving my goal. Not even the gods themselves.”

Gale nodded in agreement, his voice steady and resolute. “We’ll make sure justice prevails. This is just the beginning.”

Jinbei’s face twisted into a mask of rage as he watched the Amiga twins’ golden aura intensify. Shingo and Shiori’s eyes seemed to glow with an inner fire, and their bodies pulsed with an energy that seemed almost otherworldly. Jinbei’s mind raced, trying to understand what was happening. Was it possible that these two young upstarts were the true descendants of Shogun Amigaharu Munetori?

The pressure from the twins’ auras was so intense that Jinbei fell to his knees, his mind reeling from the force of their charisma. Even as he struggled to maintain his composure, Mariko and Ryonoken were already moving into action.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Ryonoken’s voice was the first to break the tense silence. “What’s wrong, Jinbei-san?” he asked calmly, a note of mockery in his voice. “Feeling the aura of loyalty and servitude from your ancestors to the shogun? From Jinbei Clan to Amiga Clan?”

Jinbei’s eyes flashed with anger as he got back to his feet. “Shut up, ninja!” he snarled. “That was just a sign of respect from peer to peer, and never a servant to his master! That’s it! Let alone the shogun’s descendants, I even defy gods and devils if they interfere with my plan in motion!”

He turned to his squad, his voice cold and commanding. “Obliterate the infiltrators! Leave none of them alive!”

All elite JinCorp soldiers, guardbots, ninjas, and drones in the area moved together, surrounding Shingo’s group.

Jinbei himself was no slouch in battle, and he moved with a fluid grace that belied his age. His fists were a blur as he lashed Onimaru, the legendary and hereditary katana of the Jinbei Clan out at his opponents, his movements precise and deadly. But Shingo and Shiori were like ghosts, slipping past his defenses and striking with lightning-fast blows.

The situation appeared dire, with the team struggling to find a way to counter Jinbei’s overwhelming power and suffering wounds from the onslaught. But as chaos swirled around them, a glimmer of opportunity emerged. Shingo and Gale, ever vigilant and quick-witted, seized the moment with unwavering resolve.

With a swift and graceful motion, Shingo unleashed his ogi, Falling Sakura Petals, a devastating flurry of sword strikes that danced through the air like delicate blossoms in a storm. Each swing of his blade was imbued with the strength of a hundred warriors, cutting through the chaos with precision and elegance. The petals of his attacks interwoven, creating a breathtaking spectacle of skill and power.

Simultaneously, Gale tapped into the depths of his kung-fu prowess, channeling the ferocity of a mighty tiger. His muscles rippled with raw, primal energy as he unleashed his ogi, Tiger Dance Flurry. Every strike he landed was a testament to his discipline and unyielding spirit, his movements a blur of speed and precision. His fists and feet found their mark, striking Jinbei with a relentless barrage that left no room for escape.

The combined force of Shingo’s graceful swordplay and Gale’s fierce strikes proved overwhelming. Jinbei, once an indomitable force, faltered and faltered until finally, his body gave way to exhaustion and he fell to the ground, his consciousness fading.

Silence enveloped the battlefield as the team paused to catch their breath. Their bodies bore the marks of their struggle, but their eyes burned with an unquenchable fire. They had faced the might of Jinbei and emerged victorious, a testament to their unwavering determination and skill.

Shingo approached the fallen Jinbei, his voice filled with a mixture of respect and determination. “You fought valiantly, Jinbei, but we cannot let your plans come to fruition. We will uncover the truth and put an end to this.”

Gale nodded in agreement, his voice steady and resolute. “We’ll make sure justice prevails. This is just the beginning.”
