"W-Wait… what are you doing?! Mikoto is still here!"
Tsunade quickly broke free from Orochimaru's grasp, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she glared at the man's mischievous smile.
"I… I didn't see anything!" Mikoto exclaimed, raising her hands to cover her eyes in an exaggerated gesture.
Orochimaru wiped his lips with the back of his hand, the corners of his mouth curling into a wicked grin.
"Mikoto said she didn't see anything… so what's the problem...
Ethan sat in his room, quietly observing the fluctuations of the space-time energy stored in his left hand.
"The energy consumption seems minimal."
His growing familiarity with this energy had significantly reduced the cost of each plane shift. However, he'd reached a plateau, this seemed to be the minimum possible consumption. There was no way to optimize it further.
In other words, his mastery of space-time energy had hit a bottleneck. Physically, he was already at a st...
Chapter 511: Who Is the Godfather?
In Gao Shen's past life, whenever fans or the media discussed Guardiola's Dream Team III, one name would inevitably come up: his so-called godfather.
That person was widely believed to be UEFA President Michel Platini.
Back when he was just a fan, Gao Shen had thought the same. But as he gained a deeper understanding of European professional football, he realized that this was a simplistic view of a far more complex situation.
Thi...
Chapter 113: You're Really Not Afraid
"This is all I can do."
Glancing back at the abandoned laboratory, Ren stood still for a moment.
He didn't know the identities of the people who died here, nor did he know what they'd endured in life.
But death was absolute.
The moment they died, everything about their past vanished.
No names. No stories. Nothing left.
He didn't know them.
And maybe that was for the best.
Leaving their lingeri...
Manhattan, New York.
Manhattan is the most densely populated of New York City's five boroughs. It primarily consists of an island, surrounded by the East River, Hudson River, and Harlem River. Many world-renowned enterprises are headquartered here, earning it the title of the world's economic center and the wealthiest district in New York.
Famous landmarks such as Times Square, Broadway Theaters, the United Nations Headquarters, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, ...
Amakusa Shirou: "Impossible..."
He hadn't expected that the Holy Grail couldn't directly grant his wish.
Kayneth: "How is that possible? Isn't the Holy Grail supposed to be an omnipotent wish-granting device?"
Semiramis: "Omnipotent? Ridiculous. There's no such thing as true omnipotence in this world."
[Semiramis originally intended to shoot down the plane carrying Fiore and the others. However, there were more than ten identical planes in total, and the magical si...
Outside the tent, the sun shone brightly, casting its warmth over the coalition camp. It seemed like just another ordinary day. When Aegor woke up naturally, dressed, and stepped out of his tent, he immediately sensed that something felt off.
After observing his surroundings for a moment, he quickly identified the source of the strange atmosphere: many soldiers around him were pointing and whispering while gazing toward the eastern sky.
Following their line of sight, Aegor raise...
After going through so much, he finally recognized his own weaknesses and took a step forward.
The kind of person who understands what it takes to become a hero.
The kind of person who, when faced with towering walls and vast rivers, refuses to give up.
The kind of person who, even after feeling powerless and discouraged, chooses to move forward toward new goals with renewed determination.
The final exam for U.A. High School's Class 1-A ended amidst a whirlwind of ...
In the New World, on an island under Whitebeard's protection, a pirate ship bearing the Whitebeard Pirates' flag was docked at the port. Teach, along with some crew members from the Second Division, had come here to collect this year's protection fee.
Pirates of all shapes and sizes were unloading boxes of treasure onto the ship. Teach sat alone on the bow, watching his subordinates work. He wore a black captain's hat and a dark coat draped over his shoulders, ever since obtaining the ...
Chapter 368
Outside Iwagakure, a dense crowd of people stood gathered.
With Kumogakure having announced its surrender, Orochimaru naturally mobilized all his forces here.
So, present here were not only the tailed beasts and the clone army but also representatives from other villages. Yahiko stood as the representative of Amegakure, while Tsunade represented Konohagakure.
It could be said that various forces of the ninja world had converged in this place.
The...
By now, Diana had grown so comfortable around Ethan that she even wiped her greasy hands on his pants without a second thought. Her expression remained perfectly neutral, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
She also no longer hesitated to ask him personal questions. Whenever something crossed her mind, she'd blurt it out directly.
"Can you stay here for a long time this time?"
Compared to his last visit, when he'd barely managed to stay for half a year, Eth...
Chapter 509: Confusion
The journey from Naples to Rome takes less than two hours, but Gao Shen still decided to travel a day in advance.
Napoli wasn't unfamiliar with the Stadio Olimpico, yet Gao Shen insisted on holding a familiarization session there the day before the match. Everything was meticulously planned, every detail executed with care.
His message to the players was clear: Don't get complacent just because the final is in Rome.
Even if the match were hel...
Chapter 109: Versatile
"It's… really hard to tell if that's a man."
After observing the illusory figure for a while, Hayasaka, an expert in disguise and casual wear shook her head slightly.
She had only noticed the discrepancies because Amamiya Ren had mentioned that the mysterious woman was actually a man.
"There's a faint Adam's apple, but that's not definitive, some women naturally have one."
"The breast shape looks slightly… off, but that could be fr...
Chapter 288: They Are Just Children
[It wasn't just Atalanta who was affected.]
[Not far away, Jeanne d'Arc and Sieg, who had been following her, were also caught off guard and struck by the evil spirit's black fog.]
[They, too, saw that hell.]
["Stop... please, I beg you, stop!"]
[Sieg, who had only been part of the world for a few days, couldn't bear the overwhelming darkness. He curled into a ball and let out a heart-wrenching cry.]
[The ideal worl...
Jor-El divided his conscious memory into three parts, each deployed differently.
This division into three parts was, in a sense, equivalent to his own death. The remaining fragments of his consciousness were merged with artificial intelligence. While he could still think independently, he was limited to carrying out only the tasks he had previously arranged.
One part of his conscious memory was implanted into Krypto's body. In other words, Jor-El had, in some sense, become a dog...
Petyr Baelish stood on the deck, his gaze fixed indifferently on the horizon. The sea mist was thinning, and the bow of the Juneflower cut through the gray-green waters with steady purpose. As a jagged line of rocky ridges emerged from the dissipating fog, the colossal figure of the Titan of Braavos came into view.
The Titan stood astride the entrance to the lagoon, his massive stone legs planted on either side of the rocky gap. His lower body, draped in a green-bronze war skirt, seeme...
And just like that, the tenth and final exam concluded amidst a chaotic clash of thunder, ice, and raw power.
As for the result…
"Looks like we'll be staying behind for remedial lessons, Todoroki." Kaminari flashed a bright, carefree smile as he extended his hand toward Shoto Todoroki, who lay flat on the ground, exhausted and covered in dirt.
Kaminari looked equally battered. His body ached all over, and his internal energy reserves were completely drained. The battle ...
Chapter 312: Lucci's Terrifying Talent and Power!
Kuzan straightened up and rubbed his chin when he heard Claudius's comment. "What? You thinking about recommending me to work at Impel Down?"
"It'd be a good fit. Your abilities would come in handy there," Claudius said with a grin.
"Are we really chatting right now? The fight's not over yet," Borsalino muttered softly.
Claudius shrugged. "Honestly... I was more worked up before I got here. Now? Not so much. He's ju...
Chapter 106: Teach the Drug Dealers a Lesson
Upon receiving the intel, the tactical team immediately split into two groups.
One team advanced toward the center of Tsukikage Island, while the other headed for the back mountain.
However, these two teams couldn't act independently, they needed to move in perfect sync to avoid alerting the enemy.
As a result, both teams launched their operations simultaneously.
The police presence targeting the community center ...
The arrival of Su Qing and her parents did not disrupt Gao Shen's schedule.
That afternoon, he took them back to his home in the Bay Area.
He had already asked the housekeeping staff to clean and prepare the house, so all they needed to do was move in with their luggage.
His parents had heard that Gao Shen lived in a large house in Naples, but they never quite believed it. Seeing it with their own eyes now, especially with the stunning sea view and Mount Vesuvius looming ...
Day by day, Diana gradually became able to sense and even stimulate the energy within her body through meditation.
At this point, it was time to move on to the next stage of training.
"I can now control a small portion of the power inside me. What should I do next?"
Diana was eager to understand the effects of this training. It was entirely different from the physical combat and weapons training she had undergone before, and she had no idea what kind of improvements she c...
The Fourth Raikage spoke calmly, but his tone was filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
As a Kage, failing to protect his village was a pain that only a few could understand.
There had always been a delicate balance between the Five Great Nations.
Even though their military strengths varied, any attempt to capture another village would ultimately result in heavy losses for both sides.
But now—
Orochimaru's overwhelming power had completely shattered ...
Chapter 113
Smallville, Kansas.
A brand-new four-seater minivan, painted in warm yellow, gleamed under the sunlight. The open-air compartment in the back was packed with an assortment of baby supplies.
Baby bottles, sippy cups, bowls, teething keys, thermometers, bathtubs, fever patches, mosquito repellent, nasal aspirators, shampoo, baby cream, talcum powder, outlet covers, safety locks, padded table edges, strollers, diapers, baby wipes, various formulas, toddler harnes...
A marriage with House Tully would certainly increase House Tyrell's influence in the Seven Kingdoms and even solidify their control over the Reach but in peacetime, such benefits were no more than icing on the cake.
Even Aegor, a self-proclaimed outsider to noble politics, could see that using Margaery's one and only marriage opportunity for such a marginal gain was hardly worth it.
Since Margaery was determined to become queen, if she failed to seduce the king, she would undoub...
Siegfried: "If it's not C, then it has to be B."
He couldn't imagine Sieg being killed by Jack.
[Ding! Siegfried answered incorrectly. 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]
Waver: "Then the best guess left is E."
[Ding! Congratulations to Waver for answering correctly. 3 Saint Quartz awarded.]
Atalanta: "It's me?"
[It wasn't surprising. Though she loved children, Jack's actions had crossed her bottom line.]

Chapter 282: The Reappearing Iceberg!
"Damn... damn it!!"
The principal was right. Kaminari Denki hadn't suffered any major injuries—just pain. Yes, just pain. It hurt—hurt a lot—but there were no internal injuries or severe external wounds.
But... but the feeling of being picked up and smashed into the ground was absolutely unbearable!
Shame.
Humiliation.
Rage.
These complicated emotions exploded inside Kaminari.
"Crackle!"
Chapter 309: Lucci: Sorry, I’m About to Get Promoted
On Polani Island, Edward Weevil, a man with the mind of a child was currently enjoying a vacation with his mother, Miss Buckin.
Buckin was indeed once part of the same crew as Whitebeard, Edward Newgate.
This fact had always fueled the rumors about Weevil’s supposed parentage. Was he truly Whitebeard’s son? No one could say for sure.
Newgate himself had never publicly denied the claim. Was it arrogance, or ...
Chapter 103: From Now On
Once fear is buried too deeply, overcoming it becomes difficult.
That's why the way evil spirits induce fear can actually help people confront their fears head-on.
Weaker evil spirits trigger fear more gradually.
Ren had planned for a slow buildup.
But who would have thought that, because of an unexpected encounter with an acquaintance on Tsukikage Island, the process would be interrupted, forcing a direct confrontation instead?
<...
The Chakra Cannon had the power to obliterate the moon but its material composition was naturally not very strong.
No matter how sturdy it was, it stood no chance against a Truth-Seeking Orb.
How terrifying was the Truth-Seeking Orb?
In the original story, even Minato's custom-made Flying Thunder God kunai was instantly shattered the moment it made contact with Obito's black rods which were merely extensions of the Truth-Seeking Orb.
Even Susanoo would be blown apa...
The sheer force radiating from Ethan's magic was so intense that even a blind person could sense the energy fluctuations. Hippolyta's eyes widened in shock, and for a brief moment, she felt the urge to intervene.
But on the battlefield, neither Ethan nor Diana had the attention to spare for the reactions around them. Ethan's attack was fully charged, and he took a precise aiming stance, his sights locked directly onto Diana.
For some reason, the moment she became the target of h...
