An increasingly sinister smile.
It made Female White Zetsu's hair stand on end.
But something even more terrifying was yet to come.
Her companion's body began to undergo a mutation.
Female White Zetsu discovered... that her companion without hands was slowly transforming into some kind of figure.
"I face fear, I am not afraid, I join, I am the White Devil, the White Devil is me. As long as I become the White Devil, I won't be afraid. I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid... hehehe..."
Accompanied by strange muttering.
The transformation of the handless companion was complete.
It... had become a nightmare-like figure.
"White~~~~ Zetsu~~~~~~."
The nightmare-like companion turned around, revealing a huge, bloody face with blood flowing from all seven apertures.
"Ahhhhhhhh~~~!!"
The expression on Female White Zetsu's face was angry and twisted, yet filled with utter terror.
Facing her already-mutated companion.
She raised the crowbar in her hand and smashed it into the other's cheeks again and again.
"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!!"
Female White Zetsu laughed in a deranged manner as she repeatedly brought the crowbar down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Inside the brightly lit laboratory...
Apart from White Zetsu's deranged laughter, there was only the sound of the crowbar repeatedly smashing through flesh...
After Female White Zetsu panted heavily and finally stopped moving her hands...
She dropped the crowbar with a clang.
The crowbar went spinning through the air.
It collided with the ice, producing a crisp sound.

The companion she had beaten to death.
Indeed had no hands.
But... its hands had been smashed off by someone.
And no matter how one looked at it.
Those injuries had clearly been caused by the crowbar.
In other words...
She had used the crowbar to smash off
