Chapter 1114 The New Father's Sorrow! The Bad Girl Machima
Unaware that Barry was criticizing her, Lyra turned her gaze away from the Black Adam who had been knocked away and looked at Kendra, who had transformed into a ferocious eagle monster.

Just when she didn't know how to deal with the other person.

"Roar--!"

The jet-black Kendra roared, its massive wings covered in black feathers flapping violently, stirring up a stench.

Then, the opponent's massive body suddenly lunged at Laila.

The claws tore through the air, aiming straight for Lyra's head.

Leila did not choose to back down.

She pushed her speed to the limit, her figure transforming into a streak of light as she charged towards Kendra.

The two sides were locked in combat.

Lyra's fists, elbows, knees—every part of her body became a deadly weapon, pounding against the opponent's hard scales and wings.

"Oh!"

Lyra's attack left a deep dent in Kendra's body, and dark red blood splattered from the wound.

However, after being corrupted, Kendra's strength, defense, and recovery abilities were enhanced, and he seemed to feel no pain, making his attacks even more frenzied.

The opponent's enormous wings swept across like a guillotine, forcing Lyra to constantly move at high speed to dodge.

The battle between the two had a wide-ranging impact, and the energy shockwaves left the farmyard in ruins, with charred craters scattered all over the ground.

Although Lyra has the temporary advantage due to her speed, it won't be easy for her to completely defeat her opponent in a short period of time.

The battle quickly reached a stalemate.

Just as Lyra dodged and was trying to gather more power to break through,

"Snapped!"

A sudden gunshot shattered the deafening roar of energy on the battlefield.

Just as Lyra was preparing to launch her next attack, her body suddenly stiffened.

Somewhat incredulous, she looked down at her abdomen.

A bullet pierced his abdomen, and blood gushed out.

A wave of immense weakness and excruciating pain instantly swept over her entire body.

"Uh……!"

Laila let out a painful groan, her body losing all strength, and plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing heavily onto the cold ground with a loud thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

She struggled to get up, but the wound in her abdomen kept spreading, making it incredibly difficult for her to even lift a finger. She could only collapse helplessly into a pool of blood.

"Hehehe... Hahahaha...!"

Accompanied by a chilling laugh, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

It's the Laughing Bat.

Kuangxiao toyed with a strangely shaped pistol in his hand, his face full of mockery.

Walking slowly up to Lyra, the Laughing Bat looked down at her as she lay on the ground groaning in pain, as if admiring a work of art nearing completion.

"Another descendant of Peter Patrick."

The Bat of Laughter deliberately sighed, but his voice was full of pleasure. "Your strength is not bad, and your speed is also very fast. Unfortunately, your body can't withstand the Eighth Metal. Let me tell you a little secret: the bullet that pierced your body was made of the Eighth Metal that you mentioned."

As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully at Leila, "My lovely little Supergirl, you will never see your dear father again, and you can't stop the dark night from falling."

Leila struggled to lift her head, her deep blue eyes narrowing with pain.

She gritted her teeth, staring intently at the Batman Who Laughs. "You...you're dreaming! Even if I fall here, my father, Superman, Batman, and Horus and everyone else will...stop you!"

"Really?"

The laughing bat tilted its head, its smile widening as if it had heard a very funny joke.

"Your fathers, Superman and Batman? They're in dire straits themselves, nowhere to be found, probably trembling in some dark corner. As for that kid named Horus..."

He chuckled and twirled the gun in his hand. "He's leading his ragtag bunch of soldiers, searching for pitiful N metal like headless flies. He doesn't have the time or the ability to come here and stop me. You... you're already isolated and helpless, my little princess."

Leila naturally didn't believe his nonsense. Suppressing the pain all over her body, she tried to stand up, but even the slightest movement caused her excruciating pain.

"My dear Little Super Girl, I advise you not to waste your time. You can't change the outcome."

The Bat of Laughter spoke smugly, raising his pistol to deliver the final blow to Lyra.

But the next second, something unexpected happened!

"laugh--!"

A soft sound, like the release of high-pressure gas, suddenly came from the bottom of the impact crater.

The Bat of Laughter stopped moving, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

With a mixture of confusion and annoyance at being disturbed, he turned to look at the silent spaceship at the bottom of the pit.

Barry Allen struggled to lean against the edge of the pit, and Black Adam also struggled to get up from the rubble. Their gazes, along with those of the Laughing Bat and Lyra lying on the ground, were involuntarily drawn to the spaceship at the bottom of the pit.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a crack silently slid open on the smooth outer shell of the spaceship, forming a hatch.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure peeked out from the shadows behind the door and slowly walked out.

The other person was a girl who looked quite young, about seven or eight years old.

The girl had long, fiery red hair with neat bangs on either side of her head and a braid tied at the back.

But what's most striking is her eyes.

The sclera of the girl's eyes was pure white, while the irises were orange-yellow.

Furthermore, this orange-yellow color is not evenly distributed, but rather forms a ring, like the front sight of a scope.

Her heterochromatic eyes added a touch of mystery to her delicate, doll-like face.

The girl stood beside the spaceship, seemingly bewildered by the tense atmosphere and chaotic scene around her.

Her orange-yellow, round eyes slowly swept across the entire room.

Lyra, lying on the ground, seriously injured, Barry, wary and shocked, and Black Adam, who had just crawled out of the rubble and had a complicated look in his eyes, were all caught by her gaze.

Finally, her gaze fell on the Bat of Laughter, who was closest to her and had a twisted smile on his face.

Despite the presence of these beings radiating powerful or malevolent auras, the girl showed no fear whatsoever.

She simply tilted her head slightly, revealing a smile that was both slightly confused and exceptionally polite, before softly greeting everyone.

"Good evening, everyone. Nice to meet you. My name is Machima. May I ask... where is this place?"

The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, and her demeanor was impeccable, as if she were a lost heiress who had stumbled into a masquerade ball she shouldn't have been at. If Peter were here and heard the girl say her name was Machima, and seeing her round eyes, he would probably be immediately stunned and run away.

Machima, from Chainsaw Man, is one of the most notorious villains in the history of Japanese comics.

Although she appears gentle, she is absolutely the most twisted woman at heart, possessing a complex personality that combines intelligence, thoughtfulness, strength, madness, and compassion.

In the Chainsaw Man universe, Machima is a dominating demon.

As the ruling demon, she is immortal. In the world of Chainsaw Man, Makima is an unshakeable force, able to handle any enemy with ease.

However, her immortality came at a price, closely tied to some deep-seated contract.

As for her abilities, they are simply breathtaking.

By forcibly controlling those who perceive themselves as inferior to her, she can easily manipulate others, regardless of life or death, race or race, none of whom can escape her control.

This ability allows her to thrive on the battlefield, handling everything with ease, whether it's monitoring, attacking, or defending.

Her chain skills are terrifying; once linked by chains, one loses their freedom and becomes her puppet.

But Makima's strength is not only reflected in her abilities. Her wisdom, strategic thinking, and patience are all important factors in making her the ultimate boss.

In Chainsaw Man, she orchestrated a scheme that nearly wiped out the entire Anti-Demon Division.

Moreover, she was called a "bad woman" because she used extremely vile means and behaviors to trample on the dignity and feelings of a series of characters, including the protagonist.

After all, if she can say to the protagonist, "I'm nice to you not because I treat you like a new little brother or because I'm suddenly kind, but because I like people like I like dogs, and raising you is like raising a dog," then she's not a bad woman, and there are no bad women.

Furthermore, if Peter sees her, he must lodge a strong protest; Machima is by no means a father-worshipper, at most a "mother-worshipper."

Because Chima is a dominating demon, all her actions are driven by the instinct to "dominate".

Her nurturing, care, and cruel treatment of the protagonist are all part of her taming methods, with the aim of creating a tool that is completely obedient to her will.

In addition, the name "Makima" means "cut-open mother," and she does indeed play a controlling maternal role in the main story.

If Peter signs a contract with her, it's unclear who will be in control.

The Bat Who Laughs stared at the seemingly harmless little girl who had suddenly appeared, momentarily stunned, before his maddened brain quickly made a judgment.

A seemingly harmless little girl who emerged from an unidentified spaceship?

Perhaps a survivor from a parallel universe?
Or perhaps Peter Padrick's new daughter?

He had heard that many of Peter's children were extraterrestrials.

The surprise on his face, which was filled with laughter, was quickly replaced by an interest akin to discovering a new toy.

He abandoned the temporarily immobilized Laila and took a step towards Machima.

"Who am I?"

The Laughing Bat mimicked Machima's polite tone, saying, "I am the master here, little cutie, or rather, soon to be. You look lost. Do you need help?"

He reached out his hand, covered by a tattered glove, and grabbed at Machima's slender neck, intending to take her as a new captive or bargaining chip.

"careful!"

Barry called out anxiously from a distance. Although he was in dire straits himself, he did not want to see this little girl who had suddenly appeared fall into the clutches of evil.

Lyra, lying on the ground, gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, trying to muster her last bit of strength to stop the maniacal laughter.

But just as she raised her hand, the maniac laughed and casually swung a bullet, hitting her in the shoulder and knocking her down again.

Just as the Laughing Bat's hand was about to touch Machima.

Machima's gentle yet confused expression remained unchanged; she didn't even make any dodging or defensive movements.

She simply watched the Bat of Laughter approach, then, in her characteristic tone, as if stating the most ordinary of facts, she spoke softly:
“You’re not the father who signed the contract with me.”

The Bat of Laughter's hand froze in mid-air, his smile slightly stiffening.

"...Father? Contract? Little cutie, what nonsense are you talking about? But it's okay, I can become your new father and show you...real happiness."

The laughing bat tried to bewitch her with words, and reached out his hand again.

Machima shook her head slightly, her orange-yellow circled eyes fixed on the other person, and continued in a gentle, calm voice:
"No, you can't."

She paused, as if carefully sensing something, and then uttered words that shocked the Laughing Bat and everyone present.

"You... are not human."

The Laughing Bat was stunned. "I'm not human? No, I am human, little cutie. What do you think a human is?"

"Humanity."

Machima said calmly, "Humans always think of themselves as both intelligent and foolish, full of contradictory and interesting traits, but..."

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the body of the Laughing Bat and see into his heart.

"The scent I smell on you is not human, but the stench of a nauseating dark creature. Are you a demon?"

The laughing bat's smile vanished completely, replaced by an offensive rage.

He stopped pretending, and his right hand suddenly accelerated, grabbing at Machima.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the girl's hair, Machima suddenly raised her right hand, extended her index finger, and aimed it at the laughing bat that was so close.

Her face still wore that harmless smile, as if she were just playing a fun game.

Then she softly imitated the sound of gunfire in a melodious voice.

"Bang!"

With a casual "Bang," the Batman Who Laughs was struck head-on as if by a bullet that defied the laws of physics.

Before he could even let out a scream, his body was violently thrown backward in a way that completely defied the laws of inertia.

It moved so fast that it even left a brief sonic boom cloud in its wake.

The figure of the Laughing Bat, like a stone thrown with all its might, instantly turned into a small black dot, broke through the atmosphere, tore through the clouds, and disappeared straight into outer space.

The farm fell into a deathly silence.

The shocked gazes of the group fell upon Machima, who was standing beside the spaceship, slowly lowering her index finger.

Barry opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

Leila forgot the excruciating pain in her abdomen, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Black Adam stood frozen in place, even the ancient power of Shazam seemed to feel threatened by that invisible force.

The dark eagle that Kendra had transformed into also stopped roaring, and a look of confusion appeared in its dark red eyes.

Who exactly is this little girl who calls herself Machima?!
