"Hmm??"
Looking at the message in the chat group, Zhongli’s fourteen pale golden dragon eyes blinked twice. This was starting to feel troublesome.
He was well aware that Satella, the Witch of Envy and Love from the Witch’s World, was a being who toyed with time and altered reality.
Perhaps, in terms of overall power, she wasn’t as formidable as Zhongli himself. However, within the Witch’s World, where she could freely rewind time, she was not an opponent that a mere ...

Across an unfathomable span of time, in a space of unchanging solitude.
Two faces—one rendered as a stream of data within, the other in physical form outside—met in that fleeting instant of eye contact. A surreal sense of encounter unfolded between them.
No desperate wailing.
No enraged, monstrous roars.
No cold and merciless slaughter from a being above all others.
Only a question—one seeking an answer.
「You… your people… did they win…?」<...

After dealing with the "trap" inside Phantylia, the group pressed forward. Following Seele’s lead, they navigated through a mix of dilapidated and pristine buildings, eventually arriving near the central plaza.
The area was surrounded by towering interconnected structures adorned with blue-tinted glass and silver-gray metallic accents. The buildings stretched roughly 700 meters into the sky.
The lower levels of these skyscrapers featured semi-open terraces encircling about two-t...

The sudden disappearance of a massive amount of psionic energy lasted no more than ten seconds. Even before it ended, Chen Lin had a hunch that the cause lay with the [Zroni Nexus] itself—after all, he hadn’t forgotten how it had once begged him for food.
However, when Chen Lin shifted his gaze back to the [Zroni Nexus], he found that all living beings within were now shrouded in a thick, milky-white mist, so dense it resembled liquid. He could...

From the moment he arrived in this universe, Chen Lin had been gathering information about the galaxy, searching for anything that might resemble what he once knew.
A part of him hoped to find something familiar.
Another part of him dreaded it.
But after combing through the Herta Space Station’s archives and the Xianzhou Luofu’s vast libraries, he found nothing.
No mention of the Fallen Em...

Deep within the compressed mechanical city, the team left the main assembly plant and ventured further into the unknown.
With too many variables in play, it was impossible to predict when danger might strike. For this reason, Chen Lin refused the Psionic Guard’s request to accompany them. Aside from Serval, everyone present was at least at the level of a psionic user—capable of handling threats independently if necessary.
Chen Lin divided the team into three groups. The Landau...

The purple mist in front of him swayed continuously, giving a clear affirmative response.
Chen Lin pondered for a moment. There was no downside to letting the [Zroni Nexus] grow stronger—it only benefited him. If he could fulfill its needs, he should. But last time, when he burned a massive amount of [Zro Dust] to refine Phantylia, the void didn’t seem to "break through" in any noticeable way. Instead, the space inside simply expanded tenf...

Chen Lin pondered for a long time before realizing something. He quickly instructed Seele and Gepard to open more of the scattered containers and check inside.
Sure enough, when Gepard cautiously pried open the last container, Chen Lin found yet another human corpse inside.
Corpses of humans who had died from fatal wounds littered the ground, but where were the robots?
Or rather, where were the mech-servants?
That was the most suspicious part!
Chen Lin turned to ...

The Underworld had long been guarded by the Paladins, though its security density was nowhere near that of the leadership’s palaces. That didn’t mean they were lacking in numbers, though.
By the time Chen Lin was still pondering how to handle this situation, Captain Dunn—once one of Gepard’s most trusted subordinates and now directly serving under Qlipoth Fort—had already taken action.
He led the evacuation of all researchers’ families from the Underworld, ensuring tha...

Pela Sergeyevna.
Since the earliest days Bronya could remember, this girl had always been by her side. Back then, no one knew why the successor to the Supreme Guardian suddenly had a new companion—only that this was a personnel decision made by the Supreme Guardian herself, Cocolia.
Even Bronya herself couldn't quite explain the reason. She only recalled that as she diligently studied within the palace, a playmate, a few years younger than her, had simply become...

The fireworks continued until the massive rock-based fireworks contraption completely collapsed, leaving the dazzling display to gradually fade from the sky.

Klee tilted her little head back, staring dazedly at the sky. But then she suddenly remembered why she had come here. Pinching her own cheeks with her small hands, she quickly shook off her distraction, her expression returning to that adorably serious look of hers.

Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes.
He knew the Golden Apple Archipelago had murals left behind by stranded Inazuman sailors. That was common knowledge.
But this Dodo-King mural?
It felt like one of Alice’s elaborate games.
Still—if she had designed this for Klee, why was it so dark?
A battlefield.
A lone, monstrous figure surrounded by warriors, fallen soldiers at its feet.

"Before you can become a millionaire, the Kanjou and Tenryou Commissions will arrest you for smuggling and disrupting Inazuma’s economy."
Gu Sanqiu smacked Itto on the head.
"Quit daydreaming and check if there’s anything dangerous nearby."
Dandelion seeds selling for 60,000 Mora per handful—yeah, he’d heard about that before. Honestly, he could accept that price.
After all, dandelions didn’t grow anywhere in Inazuma. It made sense for them to be expensive.

Ushi stood protectively by Klee’s side while the Ice and Fire Brothers—Kaeya and Diluc—took the lead, ensuring a safe path forward.
The area was riddled with traps, and although Gu Sanqiu and Albedo had already conducted an initial sweep, the others weren’t willing to take any chances.

Gu Sanqiu casually dug a finger in his ear, unfazed. Meanwhile, Albedo gave him a look that clearly said: Where did you even find this guy?
"What are you looking at? The crimson oni of Inazuma’s oni clans—natural-born warriors. Though, in his case, I suspect a good chunk of his brainpower was rerouted into muscle growth."
Albedo nodded in agreement. "Yes. That much is obvious."

Ryūen Kakeru remained unfazed. There was no harm in bringing this up now—if Uesugi had actually abused his authority as student council vice president to manipulate the exam, then this would be a huge win for him.

As the cruise ship circled the island, the full view of the land gradually unfolded before Uesugi Gen and the others.
He wasn’t in a hurry to analyze the island’s terrain—that task was left to Kanzaki and Ichinose.
He had more important things to do.

Ichinose smiled and replied, "Not in great detail."

It was impossible to tell if it was day or night.

The name might not ring a bell for many, but it was home to one of Britain’s most famous landmarks—the Tomb of King Arthur.
Even in Fate/Stay Night, Shirou Emiya had once visited this place.

Upon arriving, however, one couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed. Compared to the grandeur of Arthurian ...

It wasn’t night—according to the clock, it was just past three in the afternoon, typically the hottest time of the day.

As Albedo spoke, he picked up a one-handed sword emanating a strange, ominous purple glow.
The blade looked eerie, its hilt adorned with a gemstone that shimmered with a violet luster. When Albedo set it down, the sword didn’t rest on the ground—it floated upright in the air before him.
