It was likely a base built by Bolo himself, so the interior was crudely built.
Frost covered the dark walls. If not for the cold climate of the Snow Country, the cave would have already turned muddy.
Walking inward less than a hundred meters, the narrow passage suddenly opened up into a vast space.
An old-fashioned incandescent lamp lit the area, while two life-support pods were hooked up to a massive power generator.
Mirai Uchiha stepped closer and glanced inside. Each pod held one person.
One was a woman with blue hair—most likely Ada, as mentioned by Amado Sanzu.
The other was a green-haired teenager—the younger brother of Ada, Dimeng.
Mirai Uchiha only gave them a brief look before directly opening the hibernation pods.
Ada and Dimeng awoke instantly.
Seeing Mirai Uchiha, both Ada and Dimeng showed expressions of confusion.
Then, Dimeng innocently walked right up to Mirai Uchiha.
"Big brother, I don't remember ever seeing you before?"
Dimeng said, naturally reaching out his hand to grab Mirai Uchiha's.
Mirai Uchiha gave him a cold look before speaking slowly, "Jigen has been killed by me. From now on, you two are under my command."
Dimeng let go of Mirai Uchiha's hand. His innocent smile disappeared, replaced by mockery.
"We've wanted that guy dead for ages. Didn't think you'd kill him before we could."
"But do you really think just because of this, we'll obey you? Isn't that a bit too self-delusional?"
[Baka]
Dimeng's ability is [Reflection].
The ability originates from Chiya Otsutsuki's cells within his body,
he could mentally retaliate against any enemy—with anyone harboring killing intent toward him having it reflected back with double force.
Like Gaara's sand, this ability was passive.
Even if he wasn't prepared, the ability would activate on its own.
[Godlike Jutsu: Reflection] was an immensely powerful technique.
Of course, the Reflection ability only affected those whom Dimeng had touched with his palms.
Earlier, pretending to be an innocent child who grabbed Mirai Uchiha's hand was just a way to meet the conditions needed to activate [Reflection].
From a theoretical standpoint, facing this man in front of him, he was already invincible—so there was no reason to worry.
Seeing the mockery on Dimeng's face, Mirai Uchiha slightly lifted the corner of his lips.
He strode up to Dimeng and gripped his throat tightly.
"Everyone who insulted me is already dead. Do you want to be next?"
Facing Mirai Uchiha's threat, Dimeng didn't resist, only smiling confidently. "You won't scare me. You can't kill me."
Even though Dimeng's neck was gripped by Mirai Uchiha, he remained unconcerned.
The fact that his godlike jutsu hadn't been used meant she had no intention to kill him yet.
"Is that so?"
Seeing Dimeng's confident expression, Mirai Uchiha slowly tightened her grip.
Dimeng's face gradually turned fearful.
He sensed an aura of death—she actually seemed determined to kill him!
"How—how is this possible? Why isn't my ability activating?!"
Held helplessly in midair, Dimeng panicked and launched a powerful kick toward Mirai's chest.
Mirai sidestepped the attack, then slammed him forcefully onto the ground.
*Boom!*
The entire mountain range trembled from the impact.
Blood spurted from Dimeng's mouth as his eyes filled with terror.
Not only had his godlike technique failed to activate, but his pride—his taijutsu—had been completely crushed.
This was the first time he'd ever encountered such a situation.
"Dimeng!"
Seeing Dimeng severely injured, Ada immediately stepped forward to block him from Mirai's reach.
A gleam flashed through her eyes as she stared unblinkingly at Mirai Uchiha.
Charm!
Through Charm, Ada could take control of others' minds.
That was how she previously controlled Bolo's mind, making him abandon his plan to kill her and her brother.
Unfortunately, facing Mirai Uchiha, Ada's ability proved completely ineffective.
On the contrary, after using Charm, her own spirit fell into confusion.
*Bang!*
Mirai Uchiha delivered a front kick that sent Ada flying.
Witnessing this scene, Dimeng struggled to stand once more and launched another attack against Mirai Uchiha.
"Freeze!"
Dimeng's body froze midair, unable to move.
"Begone!"
*Boom!*
As if her words carried divine authority, Dimeng crashed heavily to the ground again.
"Damn it! This guy…"
Ada looked at Mirai Uchiha, her eyes filled with shock.
Just now she had activated her divine technique *Far-Seer*, but the result surprised her greatly.
Far-Seer enabled her to observe present or past scenes in real time.
She had wanted to understand their present enemy through Far-Seer.
But even Far-Seer had failed!
The man before her seemed wrapped in thick mist, preventing her from seeing any intelligence about him.
"We'll have to give it everything we've got…"
Wild chakra surged throughout Ada's body as her eyes grew increasingly frenzied.
[Omnipotence]!
"This is my ultimate godlike jutsu," she murmured, "the ability to turn thoughts into reality, manifesting anything I desire!
"It's the same power used by the gods when creating worlds—an immense force that only deities could possibly master!
"I worked so hard to reshape this world into what it is now. Please don't ruin it for me..."
Mirai Uchiha whispered softly, as an invisible force surged from his body.
Immediately afterward, Ada found her abilities rendered completely useless.
"Why is this happening? Who exactly are you?!" Ada exclaimed, staring at Mirai before her.
Watching this man who stood before them effortlessly overpower both herself and her brother, a feeling of fear stirred within Ada for the first time.
Even if her younger brother had undergone rebirth as Isshiki otsutsuki, there was no way he could possess such overwhelming strength!
"Now answer me—will you serve me?"
Ada immediately knelt down on the ground, bowing respectfully. "I will."
Dimeng quickly followed suit, shouting, "M-Me too!"
Seeing the two individuals—so defiant just moments ago—now behaving so obediently brought a satisfied smile to Mirai Uchiha's face.
"Good. Then come with me."
As Mirai turned and walked away, Ada and Dimeng exchanged glances filled with lingering apprehension.
If this person truly wanted to kill them, they wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance.
After all, both she and her sibling had undergone Awakening—they even possessed complementary godlike jutsu!
That's terrifying!
Where exactly did this man even come from?
