As soon as Klee finished speaking, she dashed off toward Windrise, her tiny feet pattering quickly against the ground.
“Klee!?”
Paimon called out her name, but Klee didn’t even glance back as she sprinted away.
“Well, there’s no choice. Jax, Mona, I’ll go after Klee,” Lumine said, grabbing Paimon and chasing after the energetic little girl.
Mona sighed as she surveyed the aftermath. “Go ahead. I’ll clean up this mess… But there are so many bombs her...

As soon as they boarded the carriage, the group quickly arrived at the large bridge leading to Mondstadt.
Although Jia Changjiang and Lumine had just returned, everything in Mondstadt remained the same as ever, without any major changes.
Beneath the bridge, ducks swam leisurely in Cider Lake. On the bridge, Timmy was still there feeding his pigeons.
Watching the pigeons, Lumine couldn't help but wipe her lips—though no actual drool had formed.
The pigeons around Mond...

As soon as Steven began to speak, Giovanni and Matori had already guessed what he was about to say.
Sure enough, Steven continued, “Both Groudon and Kyogre are headed to Sootopolis City for their final showdown.”
“According to legend, their battle is for control of Hoenn’s natural energy—the very balance that creates the region’s climate.”
“If either of them wins, that balance will be broken. Under the control of those two fanatics, Maxie and Archie, Hoenn wi...

The thunderous stomps of Rhyperior’s hooves shook the battlefield, like a war drum pounding relentlessly.
With the force of a tank, Rhyperior charged into Groudon, slamming its massive body into the legendary Pokémon and toppling it back into the pit. The ground trembled under the impact, echoing a resounding boom.
Steven stood stunned, his gaze fixed on the sight of Rhyperior taking down Groudon. Comparing Giovanni’s capabilities to his own, he came to a startling r...

At this moment, the chairman wanted nothing more than to remain silent. However, seeing the trainers from his side sprawled across the floor, he abandoned the idea.
Besides, he was eager to learn the true purpose behind the Tech Hunter’s sudden attack.
“What... are you after?” the chairman asked cautiously.
He had heard rumors about the Tech Hunter’s activities in Kanto. What could have possibly driven this elusive figure, missing for over a year, back to the Hoenn r...

After disembarking from the airship, Luo Yuan didn’t head directly to Sootopolis City.
Although he had anticipated Groudon and Kyogre would likely engage in their final battle there, it would still take some time before both arrived at the battlefield.
In the meantime, Luo Yuan decided it was necessary to have a proper conversation with Rayquaza. After all, his previous method of capturing the legendary Pokémon had been rather forceful.
If he didn’t address this, it mig...

“The situation is clear,” Luo Yuan said as he lowered the communicator. He turned toward Roxanne and Winona. “Do you have any suggestions?”
As local Gym Leaders of Hoenn, their input was crucial in such a crisis.
The two exchanged a glance before responding decisively.
“We need to evacuate the civilians immediately!” Winona said.
Roxanne nodded in agreement. “If Groudon reaches the shelter, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
However, her expr...

Jing Yuan’s expression shifted to one of exaggerated disbelief. “Brother, you must talk some sense into Lady Fu! Do I seem like someone who resorts to traditional manipulative tactics—dangling empty promises and feeding false hope? How could I insult Lady Fu in such a way?”
His tone was so wounded that Chen Lin almost believed him.
Just then, a procession escorting Kafka approached, with Qingque and the Express crew trailing at the rear.

Inside the inn, Fu Xuan stood with her hand hovering less than an inch above Chen Lin’s forehead. A radiant glow emanated from her palm but abruptly dimmed and flickered out.

The "black shadow" Archer referred to could only mean one thing: the dark figure of Assassin, disguised as Lancelot, who had battled Lancer the previous night.
Is she talking about me? Assassin glanced around, quickly realizing Archer’s intent was focused entirely on her. The directness of Archer's attention caught her off guard.
"If you didn’t see any other blackened Servants last night," Assassin replied cautiously, "then yes, you must be referring to me." Her ...

The air fell silent.
Emerging from the shadows of the street atop a white horse came the Archer, her appearance arresting in every sense.
White armor, white cape, white bow, white crown. White hair, white skin, white eyes. A knight wrapped entirely in white.
At first glance, her face resembled that of a delicate maiden, beautiful and almost otherworldly, save for her piercing, hollow white eyes that exuded an unsettling chill. If one focused solely on her fa...

The clash unfolding before her was nothing short of a battle between monsters.

Victory was out of the question. Even with Saber joining forces with Assassin, the two-on-one scenario couldn’t overcome Berserker’s overwhelming strength. To make matters worse, their Masters—Rin and Shirou—were exposed to the full brunt of Berserker’s rampage.
Killing Berserker was impossible. Survival became the only priority.
“But…” Saber hesitated at Assassin’s words. Yet the Assassin didn’t falter.

Guizhong's journal ended abruptly at this final entry.

The Traveler blinked, glancing at Paimon, who returned her gaze in equally pensive silence.
“Hmm...” After a few moments, Paimon crossed her arms, deep in thought for nearly a full minute.
The Traveler patiently watched her, unflinching, for just as long.
Finally, unable to bear the quiet scrutiny, Paimon broke the silence.

Indeed, to resurrect Qingyun, memories had to be burned as fuel.
Zhongli chose his own.
Neither the memories of the Vortex God nor those of Azhdaha, nor even the recollections of the sealed gods and monsters he had defeated, could sustain the process of reviving someone like Qingyun.
It was true that the memories of several Adepti, or even those of the Traveler and Paimon, could potentially anchor this revival that Zhongli had orchestrated.
But if such memories were us...

As the Traveler stepped out of the study, a breathtaking vista greeted her.
Lush jade-green mountains and flowing waters floated amidst the clouds, rising and falling like a dreamlike celestial realm. The entire scene seemed as if it had been lifted from a painter’s masterpiece.
She found herself standing on a wooden, circular corridor suspended at the edge of this surreal landscape.
Along the corridor, spaced at regular intervals, were a series of doors. Beyond these door...

As always, Liyue Harbor was shrouded in a delicate, veil-like mist, soft and ethereal.
The Traveler stood quietly by the port, her attire neat and composed, holding an oiled paper umbrella she had bought after arriving in Liyue. Beside her floated Paimon, her tiny companion also under the umbrella’s protection.
In the gentle rain, the Traveler resembled a serene Glaze Lily, swaying lightly under the weight of the dew.

Albedo glanced at him, his usual calm demeanor barely concealing the weight of his words. "This isn’t about trust; it’s about necessity. If I lose myself to wear or control, someone has to be able to make the hard decision. And I trust you to do that."
