“Who could it be?”
Bruce thought long and hard, but he couldn’t make any sense of the connection in Kathoom’s earlier words.
What exactly had he deduced?
The owl sighed and said to Bruce, “Alright, this is something I didn’t mention earlier because I thought it wouldn’t matter.
“Bruce, you need to know about the concept of counterparts in the DC multiverse."
“It’s like this: you’re Bruce. But if you were in one of DC’...

Becoming an Animagus is no simple feat.
As Dumbledore often stressed, anyone learning this magic must proceed with the utmost caution.
Many witches and wizards had attempted the transformation, only to make small mistakes that left them permanently trapped in their animal forms, unable to turn back.
Bruce had no doubt Dumbledore’s guidance would ensure everything went smoothly.
Still, he had a pressing question:
“Is it really impossible to control the ani...

The doll, Mewn, was doomed.
The moment Hermione mentioned her peculiar behavior, both Bruce and Kathoom shot her a look so intense that the poor doll shrank into Hermione’s arms, trembling.
She curled up tightly, hiding her head as if that would save her from the storm brewing around her.
“Let’s see how long you can hide,” Bruce muttered coldly. The dream magic she used before was already suspicious, and now she seemed to be secretly passing information.

The best way to treat a Time-Turner is the same way Hermione does: use it only for learning and nothing else.
Then, when the moment is absolutely critical, bring it out to turn the tide.
Otherwise, pretend it doesn’t exist.
Bruce raised a skeptical brow at Kathoom’s words.
“Is it really that serious?”
He held up the instructions for the Time-Turner.
“Look, it even says here:"

In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Bruce had returned as swiftly as lightning.
This time, Kathoom refrained from any tricks, like dropping him off at the doorstep of some orphanage.
Instead, the owl landed near the Granger family home.
“Well played this time,” Bruce sneered. “I’ve already got a mother, so your jokes can’t get to me anymore.”

Kathoom hadn’t planned to argue, but Bruce’s provocation roused his competit...

When Bruce’s consciousness returned to his body, he found himself submerged in an endless, pitch-black abyss of deep ocean.
Encased in armor, he felt no discomfort. His hands gripped Homelander’s neck tightly, the latter having momentarily surrendered his ability to think.
Bruce ascended steadily, breaking through to the surface at last.
Dragging Homelander’s limp body, Bruce walked step by step to the shore.

As soon as the air hit his lungs, H...

Kiichi Hougen had noticed that Sara had become noticeably more rigid during her absence.
"Sara," Kiichi began, breaking the silence, "have you been cooped up alone for too long? I think you need to get out more and interact with people. If you keep this up, you’ll end up like one of those stiff, boring old-timers."
Hearing the word old-timers from a thousand-year-old yokai felt oddly out of place.
Even the Archons of Teyvat probably hadn’t lived as long as ...

"Ahhh~~ A hot bath is so refreshing," Kiichi Hougen sighed contentedly as she stepped out of the bathhouse.
For once, she wasn’t wearing her usual red, midriff-baring light armor. Instead, she had changed into a flowing yukata adorned with drifting cloud patterns. The recent cooler weather made the steam rising off her freshly bathed skin all the more pleasant.
As she walked out, she encountered Sara, who bowed respectfully. "Master, the meal is ready. Please proceed to the dini...

On the freshly made bed, the new disciple Kiichi Hougen had brought back was sound asleep.
The room had already been tidied up, of course by Sara, while Kiichi Hougen watched. That didn’t last long, as she quickly grew bored and went outside to stand guard.
"How strange..." Kiichi hovered upside-down in midair, holding her chin as she muttered to herself. "Back when I was masquerading as Baobhan Sith, Jasmine took such good care of me. Now Sara’s taken over all the household c...

The day was overcast, with only a faint silhouette of the sun visible through the thick clouds.
On a worn red torii gate, a mother bird was busy building her nest.
But in just the blink of an eye, a sinister gust of wind swept through, and when the bird turned back, she was shocked to find—her eggs were gone!

Against the endless monsters crawling out of the abyssal darkness, everyone was equal, everyone was powerless."

The group immediately paused as well, a gesture that warmed March’s heart.

After descending from Mokra Mbembe, the Trailblazers moved through the grass and underbrush, slipping like shadows toward their destination.
The wind barrier shielding their scent and sound remained in place, ensuring that their passage was completely silent. Yet the surrounding stillness seemed to amplify every subtle movement in the environment.
As they drew closer, the temple-fortress loomed into view, a massive structure exuding an aura of foreboding.

In mere moments, the goblins’ numbers dwindled to single digits. Those who survived scattered in terror, oblivious to the predators who had them in their sights.

The Forestfolk, known for their extraordinarily long lifespans, were notorious for hosting lengthy discussions.

The moment Venti’s melody from the Holy Lyre began, the winds hesitated, pausing as if to listen.
The song, interwoven with the gentle tones of the harp, spread across the battlefield, soothing the raging gales. The storm’s fury began to subside, and the once-violent winds calmed as though lulled by the bard’s music.
It wasn’t just the winds that stilled. The raging battle between the demon and the dragon faltered for a moment as both combatants heard the melody, their vio...

Luo Yuan noticed that his Ground-Type Affinity had some differences from his other affinities. For example, Fire-Type Affinity not only boosted bond and move power with Fire-types but also granted him immunity to burn damage.
Similarly, his Poison-Type Affinity made him immune to poison.
These traits specifically benefited him as a Trainer.
But Ground-Type Affinity didn’t offer immunity to Ground-type attacks. Instead, it provided a slow stamina recovery while he or his Po...

The Mewtwo that Giovanni poured billions into creating had been defeated by Deoxys, a Pokémon Luo Yuan had “casually” captured on a work trip to the Sevii Islands.
Giovanni’s feelings were… complicated.
Though he knew Mewtwo’s defeat was largely due to its recent creation, which meant it hadn’t yet fully mastered its powers, this battle also made him realize something else: even if Mewtwo had enough time to completely hone its abilities, the outcome of a fight against...

Mewtwo closed in swiftly.
But Deoxys was more than ready.
Luo Yuan had an advantage over Giovanni: he possessed psychic abilities, allowing him to communicate seamlessly with Deoxys through telepathy.
The transmission speed of spoken language for humans is limited to 39 bits per second, and that’s without considering the delays caused by sound.
But telepathic communication bypassed those limitations entirely.
In a single second, Luo Yuan could deliver multiple ...

Future Sight is one of the Psychic type’s most powerful moves.
Its mechanism involves sending a surge of psychic energy into the future, predicting the target’s location, and then attacking at just the right moment.
Many Pokémon are capable of using this move.

To Deoxys, the core is the true essence.
The body is merely a vessel—expendable. As long as its core remains intact, Deoxys can swiftly recover from any injury.
In contrast, Mewtwo, despite sharing the same Psychic typing with Deoxys, has a different physiology. While Mewtwo also used Recover to heal the wound in its chest, it couldn’t manage it as efficiently as Deoxys.
Mewtwo's energy was visibly waning.
And to make matters worse, the recent assault from Deoxys h...
