Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [65]

SCREEEEECH—

Logan slammed on the brakes, and the tires of the Spider-Tank screeched across the ground, leaving long skid marks.

“A bug?”

Logan turned, eyes fixed on the small device in Hawkeye’s hand.

It was a tiny component—something so small it would have gone unnoticed if Clint hadn’t felt it with his fingers.

“Probably something one of Ashley’s enemies planted.”

Hawkeye sighed, crushing the bug in his hand. “The kid was just...

"Clint, what’s going on?"

Logan’s face was grim. “You never mentioned any of this to me.”

It was the first time he’d heard anything about Galactus, and up until now, Hawkeye had kept it all under wraps.

“Don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”

“Calm down, Logan.”

Hawkeye gestured for him to relax. “It’s not too late to fill you in now. I never meant to drag you all into this. Just… stay calm.”

After a moment of thought, he be...

The true nature of the hatred between Hawkeye and Red Skull was something he never spoke of.

The Avengers’ annihilation years ago was still shrouded in mystery, a secret Hawkeye seemed unwilling to reveal.

Now, as they were already halfway to New Utopia, their journey was going smoothly—until they encountered a bit of trouble.

A T-Rex, over ten meters long, was now in relentless pursuit of the Spider-Tank. Hawkeye floored the gas pedal, but the beast stayed hot on their ...

Magneto’s helmet, unassuming at a glance, held the remarkable ability to completely block psychic intrusions.

Kathoom had always been curious about what material this helmet was made from, and how it worked.

Now that he had it in his hands, he could hand it over to Bruce to study, maybe even incorporate a similar function into the Batsuit.

After stowing the helmet, Kathoom’s attention was drawn to two other items.

The first was a stone tablet.

Shaped like a d...

The Spider-Tank barreled its way toward Kingpin's main stronghold.

The pursuers behind them had mostly been taken care of, and even Kingpin himself had been struck by Bruce’s petrification curse, toppling him off the back of his T-Rex.

Thinking back to that moment, Bruce couldn’t help but shake his head to himself.

An evil brute like that—how could he ever withstand the force of righteous magic?

Finally, the tank crashed through the entrance of a tall building. 2024-11-18 20:09:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [65]

“Wow, the streets in the Overworld are so big… and there are so many things I don’t even know the names of… my eyes can’t take it all in…”

Clara looked around wide-eyed, while Svarog walked silently beside her, remaining ever watchful.

The crimson glow in the sky was unmistakably from the Fragmentum seed. And though Svarog understood the bard’s strategy, he hadn’t expected this.

He knew the bard would find a way to shake up Belobog’s stagnant state, but t...

The elevator shaft ascended slowly, gears turning with a low, grinding echo from above.

A single dim, old mining lamp illuminated the otherwise pitch-black shaft, casting long shadows.

In the silence, Clara and Svarog felt the growing weightlessness as they were lifted upward.

“…I feel a little scared,”

Clara murmured, pressing herself closer to Svarog than she ever had in the Underworld.

Though she had decided on her own to visit the Overworld, leaving the...

“Eek! Mr. Svarog, is the roof about to come crashing down?”

Clara shrank back, clutching Svarog’s coat with a timid voice.

Svarog looked up to the top level, where the greenhouse equipment of Belobog was veiled by a mist of steam. He placed his broad mechanical hand gently on Clara’s head.

“According to analysis, the furnace core remains stable. The machine shaft and Geomarrow energy pipelines above are still functioning normally. Probability of autonomous collapse...

— Inside the Refuge.

The shelter buzzed with the hum of voices as families hurried in, seeking refuge from the chaos outside.

They huddled close, comforting one another, checking on loved ones, and muttering under their breaths.

“...You think the wall’s already breached by those monsters from the Fragmentum?”

A middle-aged man dressed as an office worker, looking troubled, spoke to another similarly dressed individual.

“No idea. But with that b...

—Excruciating pain.

The injuries on his body hurt so intensely that he teetered on the edge of consciousness. But, more than the pain, he worried about his comrades fighting beside him—and whether the people were managing to evacuate safely.

Fueled by sheer will, the captain of the guards forced his eyes open, using his remaining hand to wipe away the blood from the slit he could still see through. Once again, he took in the battlefield around him.

There, a purple-haired...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [65]

I thought my future would be forever unchanging, like the endless snowflakes drifting here.

Snow, snow, and more snow…

The sun and moon may rest, the clouds and stars may rest, spring, summer, autumn, and winter may all rest—but here, the snow never does.

What lies before me is an expanse of endless white. It’s beautiful, but also monotonous.

But that’s alright. This pure white is everything to me. The palette that makes up my “colors” has no hues except wh...

The police arrived to handle the aftermath of the incident.

Though trained professionals, even they were shaken.

All the thugs were dead. By the time the officers reached the scene, every single corpse stood frozen in place, their empty eyes staring into nothingness.

It was disturbingly efficient—none of the thugs seemed to realize they were already dead.

No reaction, no resistance.

Though the mysterious killer had undoubtedly saved innocent lives from the thug...

Stella and the others witnessed an unbearable scene unfold before their eyes.

“Please! At least let my child go!”

“Shut up! Get lost!”

A desperate mother, on her knees, pleaded with one of the thugs, begging for her child’s release, only to be met with a brutal elbow to her face, sending her sprawling several meters back.

Stella’s anger flared, but she forced herself to stay put, remembering Shizuku’s words.

“Don’t hurt my mom!”

The woma...

The lively atmosphere faded, bright lights dimmed to shadows, and joy turned to dread.

All of this happened in an instant.

The central plaza of the mall was shrouded in darkness as every light was extinguished, leaving only a faint glimmer of sunlight streaming in through the skylight above. Under the threat of firearms, the women and children were gathered in one place, surrounded by armed thugs. Every few meters, a gunman stood watch, each in precise stance, showing signs of spe...

“This is amazing! So delicious!”

With a crepe in her right hand, Stella pressed her left hand against her cheek, savoring each bite with pure bliss. She couldn’t resist taking another bite, and pink flower petals seemed to bloom around her in sheer delight.

“It is indeed delicious. The cream is rich and leaves a delightful aftertaste,” Kurogane Shizuku nodded approvingly.

“Right?” Arisuin Nagi beamed with pride at their praise. “This place is truly a hidden g...

The street lay in ruins.

From the gaping hole in the ground, searing flames erupted, followed by a blazing Harley-Davidson roaring out onto the street.

“It’s him!”

“It’s really him!”

George and the other officers paled at the sight, scrambling to retreat to the sidewalks as the infernal motorcycle sped past.

Moments later, a streak of electricity zipped through the air after it.

“It’s Spider-Man!”

“And the Avengers—they’re foll...

“Uh… Abby, you’re a bit much,” Xia Luo muttered, struggling to process the symbiote’s unsettling fixation.

He decided to leave.

Just as he prepared to move, Gwen’s phone rang. Answering it, her expression tensed.

“George is hurt again. A pyrokinetic is behind it. I have to go.”

With that, Gwen rushed off.

“You heading to a restroom to change into your suit?” Xia Luo called after her.

Without looking back, she replied, “No need. I bough...

“Peter, you need to be more mindful of your image,” Miles reminded.

“I’ll try.”

Disheveled Peter wiped his finger on Miles’ back. “There, clean now.”

Miles’ face darkened. “Disgusting.”

Nearby, a Spider-Man cloaked in darkness and wearing a black trench coat tipped his round, dark hat in a show of respect for their gathering.

“I’m Peter Parker,” he introduced himself.

A bright-eyed schoolgirl with a backpack smiled. “I’m Peni...

Staring at the phone after it disconnected, Xia Luo thought for a moment before redialing.

“Hello, it’s me.”

“I know.”

Late at night, Peggy Carter was still waiting for Xia Luo’s call. Stifling a yawn, she asked, “What happened?”

“I’ve become a summonable entity.”

Carter: “...”

“Speak properly.”

“Lizard Parker summoned me in his universe.”

“You’re joking, right?”

“Not at all. Spider-Man never jokes...

Swish, swish—

Scarlet maple leaves drifted through the air as terror flashed across Miles' face.

“We’re doomed,” he muttered.

Peter Parker sat on the ground, his beer belly poking out despite the Spider-Man suit that struggled to contain it. The disheveled figure bore little resemblance to the hero he was supposed to be.

“Maybe we should just surrender?”

“You’re Spider-Man! How can you even say that?”

“Why not?”

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [160]

High above Inazuma City.

The Raiden Shogun, in her eternal form, stood face to face with Luo Qing’s Susanoo-like transformation. The sheer force of their presence seemed to split the sky in two.

On one side was the Raiden Shogun, ruler of Inazuma since time immemorial. Thunder roared behind her, and lightning in the clouds illuminated the Tenshukaku’s rooftops in stark white.

On the other side was an enormous armored warrior, a figure never before seen in Inazuma. Lightl...

“An access pass?”

The Raiden Shogun glanced at the item in Luo Qing’s hand. It was indeed an unrestricted access pass to the Tenshukaku, something only she could issue.

“Hmph. Even with that, you won’t escape death!”

A faint blush colored her cheeks as she swung her blade at Luo Qing.

Activating his Time Zero ability, Luo Qing barely managed to dodge the strike.

“Shogun-sama, are you serious right now? Wait, what?!” Luo Qing exclaime...
