Savior?
Since when does a savior look like this...?
Even the Third Raikage was starting to look at Kazuki differently—was this guy insane?
The most terrifying madmen aren’t the ones who kill for pleasure, like some deranged psychopath...
No, it’s the ones who believe they’re righteous—who carry out so-called justice through brutal means, completely devoid of guilt or compassion. Sometimes, they’re even boosted by a sense of moral superiority.
And at t...

"What did you just say?!"
Uchiha Itachi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
A curve?!
Are you freaking serious right now?
A Tailed Beast Bomb that curves after being fired?
I couldn't even dream up something that absurd if I tried!
"Yeah, you heard me right."
Minato let out a helpless sigh and said, "After it was launched, the Tailed Beast Bomb actually curved mid-air… and came back."
He looked utterly resigned.
Seriously, what ki...

The towering skyscraper that now served as the temporary command center of the 33rd Ground Assault Division had once belonged to the UNN Global News Network. Around a thousand people had worked in this behemoth of a building. Now, it stood deserted—eerily silent, like a ghost town.
The elevators in the UNN branch building had long since stopped working, forcing Augustus and Warfield to climb the stairs all the way to the 42nd floor. Halfway through the climb, Augustus began to suspect...

Bitruik gave a firm nod toward the three-braided Scoia'tael dwarf. “I’ve already contacted our kin nearby. The attack routes have all been planned out. As soon as the Elder in Chief returns tomorrow and we get the signal, our brothers will surge into Mount Carbon and seize control of him.”
“It’s Brouver Hoog, not the Elder in Chief,” the three-braided dwarf corrected, his voice tinged with scorn. “It’s his inaction that’s caused the dwarves to suffer under human societ...

The massive sandstorm that had raged for nearly a week had finally begun to subside overnight.
Although the sky was still tinged with a dull yellow, the dust in the air had lessened significantly. Visibility had improved, and faint rays of sunlight now peeked through the clouds above.
As for the eerie, howling wind—it remained ever present.
After all, whenever wind passed through this city of towering spires, it always produced a ghostly, bone-chilling wail.

Augustus noticed that the engineers wearing orange-gray uniforms were all quite young. The insignias on their uniforms indicated they were only temporary conscripts from the local area, drafted by the Starfleet Marine Corps. This type of recruitment usually involved refugees, and if the war went well, their term of service wouldn't exceed two years.
Now, the bridges and railway lines spanning the Paddick River had been cut off by the Kel-Morian forces. The famous 'Seven Sisters' bridge...

Two days after completing the mission in Loon Town and returning to the Fifth Battalion garrison at Polk’s Pride, First Squad had enjoyed a brief period of rest. Augustus, too, found that his mindset had shifted somewhat.
He figured his time in the Federal military wouldn’t last much longer. As soon as the war ended, he’d find a way to leave.
On this day—June 22, at exactly 0600—Augustus woke up right on schedule. As usual, he roused the rest of his squad, ordering them ...

The surviving coilgunner on the truck clutched his electromagnetic rifle, using the wreckage for cover as he returned fire. But every time one of them dared to peek out, they were immediately picked off by Ryk Kydd, the sharpshooter from Augustus’ unit, with his Sailor Longsight sniper rifle. One by one, they fell. The remaining soldiers could only raise their coilguns above their heads and fire blindly, hoping for a miracle.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion and the shriek of a sonic b...

The gathered townspeople now numbered between seven and eight hundred—several times the size of First Company. But armed only with tools meant for chopping wood and tilling fields, and outdated firearms from a bygone century, they might stand a chance against the local sheriff or police—nothing more.
Compared to the nobles and office clerks of the Terran Empire’s core worlds, the colonists here had forged resilience and fearlessness through constant struggle against nature.

Central District, Loon Town — Local Time 14:12
A third of the colonial-style buildings in Loon Town were buried beneath overgrown thorns, creeping vines, and spiky thatch. In the center, domed colonial houses stood neatly aligned alongside prefab box buildings with sharp, angular corners — a tidy, regimented grid of structures rising before Augustus and his team.
Each rooftop was fitted with antennas and solar panels, receiving transmissions and storing power.
Like many ...

Hashirama's expression turned serious as his hands flew through a flurry of hand seals. He pushed his chakra to the absolute limit.
"You’ll see soon enough."
As Uchiha Madara poured chakra into the Ten Tails, its form began to shift once again. A terrifying aura spread through the air like a creeping fog.

It wasn't just Jiraiya and the others who were stunned— even Madara, Izuna, and Obito looked dumbfounded.
Though the Uchiha were known as a clan of warriors—dubbed 'battle maniacs' across the shinobi world, each one a natural-born killer—there were limits to that image.
Objectively speaking, the Uchiha were drawn to the thrill of battle, not to the act of killing itself.
There’s a clear difference between the two.
And yet, Kazuki’s actions felt like he was ac...

Thanks to the benchmark set by the Ice Giant’s attribute panel, the skill set of the Red Dragon, Keltullis, while undeniably powerful, no longer startled Lann into overreaction.
In comparison, Keltullis had lower health than the Ice Giant, which suggested inferior physical resilience. Her mana reserves were higher, true—but Red Dragons, according to lore, were not exactly famed for their magical prowess. After a few questions, Lann confirmed that Keltullis was severely lacking in ar...

Even in the election of a Kage, they held real sway.

And that wasn’t even counting the skill points he would need to sp...

At the base of the 5th Battalion, 4th Brigade, 33rd Ground Assault Division of the Terran Federation.
It had been several days since Augustus first arrived in this city—now reduced to ruins. Despite some setbacks along the way, he and his fellow soldiers had made it out alive. Lieutenant Warfield had been sent to the officer’s hospital at Polk's Pride, and so far, there had been no new updates about his condition.

It was the first time these rookies had witnessed such a grisly scene. Even Augustus, who had mentally prepared himself, looked visibly shaken.
