*Chapter 194: Parading in Public*

Helen shuddered all over.

Did she still have a choice?

No, she had no choice!

Even a speck of dust from battlefield of gods would weigh like a mountain on everyone.

Moreover, as daughter of Zeus, she was destined to suffer a more miserable fate if she fell into hands of Ares' followers, not to mention she had an ex-husband who had hated her for over two thousand years.

When she boarded ship, she had already overheard sailors joking about how curren...

Chapter 193: A Feud Spanning Two Thousand Years

"As everyone knows," the process of World War I mainly involved battles between the Central Powers and the Allied Powers.

The German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Kingdom of Bulgaria belonged to the Central Powers, while the British Empire, French Third Republic, Russian Empire, Kingdom of Italy, and the United States were part of the Allies.

The Central Powers were relatively more concentrated, while the Allies had greater numbers.

In the end, ...

*Chapter 56: A Painful Realization*

On February 22nd, a rather fitting date for a quirky debut, Twilight hit the shelves, stocked in sixty-eight major bookstores across New York State. On its first day, the novel sold over 3,800 copies, a decent performance for a debut author.

However, just as the media was starting to hype up supermodel Kate’s transition to author Kate, the sales took a nosedive over the next two days.

Only 1,000 copies were sold on...

Chapter 192: The Broken World Map (Third Update)

Swish—

The arrow returned even faster than when it was shot, surpassing the limits of the female warrior's archery speed and striking back fiercely.

Thud—

The arrow grazed past the female warrior's left temple, missing by no more than a centimeter, before burying itself into the mountainside behind her.

In the next instant, a dense spiderweb of cracks, a meter in diameter, spread from the point of impact.

Silence!

Chapter 191: Rebound (Second Update)

This story is really absurd.

Yes, it’s true that her precious daughter was sent by Hippolyta to call for reinforcements.

The Amazon Queen's original intent was for her to seek out the sanctuary where Zeus and other true gods resided. After all, the gods no longer inhabited the earthly Olympus of Greece but existed in another dimension.

The Amazons could still receive the gods' power through prayers and various rituals. For example, the demonstration of a ballista sh...

*Chapter 255: I'll Give You Back Your Freedom*

According to Dressrosa's usual rules, it was always diplomacy first, then action.

But those rules were set by the guy standing in front of them, so it's best to check which rules apply this time.

Uchiha Raijin was notorious for not following the rules!

"Do we really need to worry about small-time thieves like this? Let's take him down first!"

"If he's eaten the Gold-Gold Fruit, we should just kill him outright."

"This island's not bad. From now on, Dressr...

*Chapter 254: All You Have is Deception*

Kakashi received a call, and at the same time, Shikaku Nara did too.

The entire Dressrosa mobilized, like a large machine quickly beginning to operate.

Sengoku’s tour was halted, as Zephyr was assigned to guide them.

But Zephyr also had to be part of the operation!

"Marshal Sengoku, you might as well come along and witness the combat power of our Dressrosa ninjas."

"I assure you won’t be disappointed, and it’ll also give you the chance to select some...

*Chapter 253: I Suddenly Want to Live in Dressrosa*

The only highlight of this battle was the extraordinary speed both combatants displayed.

Their speed had surpassed the limits of the Navy's Six Powers! Clearly, both of them were speed-oriented fighters.

While the fight seemed aesthetically pleasing, in reality, only those at the vice admiral level could even see their movements.

They were so fast that it felt like watching the Light-Light Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in action.

All that could be se...

*Chapter 252: I Really Hate Pretty Boys*

"Ah, it seems like everyone has some misunderstandings about me," said Minato Namikaze, scratching his head, feeling a bit awkward.

After all, back in Konoha, no one ever called him a "pretty boy."

Sure, he was somewhat handsome!

But still, you shouldn’t judge someone by their appearance.

“Lord Hokage, don’t let these weaklings bother you. You managed to defeat my son!”

“You’re even neck and neck with him in terms of speed, which shows how st...

*Chapter 251: Why Is Everyone Else So Happy?*

Sengoku followed the gaze and looked over at Garp, who was sporting a large belly!

Standing next to him were two short kids, especially the shortest one, who was sucking on his finger while staring at Sengoku.

No doubt about it!

That boy must be Garp's grandson.

Garp's grandson is already this big?

But then Sengoku thought about how others already had grandchildren this age, while he didn’t even have a son.

Suddenly, Sengoku’s mood became a bit g...

*Chapter 51: Nightfall*

The dark blue night sky held a full moon and a few cold stars.

In the moonlight over the Manhattan district, neon lights were dazzling, lively, and bustling.

Luca drove a black Ford through the busy streets, like a streak of black light in the night sky.

From Third Avenue to Downtown Manhattan and then to 43rd Street, they had been driving for who knows how long. By the time they reached Lima's apartment building, only Luca and Lima wer...

*Chapter 39: Failed Audition (Part 2)*

Wayne’s tone didn’t have a hint of sarcasm. Since this was America, where people were usually straightforward, Annie didn’t realize that he was intentionally speaking that way.

At this moment, all she felt was deep regret. If not for a shred of reason left, she would’ve slapped herself.

For the role of a lead actress in a romance film, which was publicly advertised as having a budget of over 30 million, but in reality had a production cost of less than 20 million, s...

*Chapter 355: Personally Certified*

It wasn't just the Chanel show; the entire Paris Fashion Week was left in shock and disbelief. Even seeing it with their own eyes, people still couldn't believe it.

Anson actually altered Karl's design—unbelievable!

And to do it at a Chanel fashion show, right after Karl had made the unprecedented move of extending a personal invitation. Anson's actions were nothing short of a slap in the face.

So, was this sheer audacity or sheer stupidity? Wasn't this basically cr...

*Chapter 354: Rock On*

Silence. Utter silence. The only sound in the room was the relentless clicking of cameras in the midst of the storm.

No one expected this—not at all.

No one anticipated that Anson, who had always been rebellious, carefree, and youthful, would possess such an innate sense of elegance and nobility. It was a surprise, a pleasant one at that.

After all, Anson had always been seen as a representative of the "grassroots" crowd.

More accurately, rather than nobility,...

Chapter 353: A Storm Brewing**

Tap. Tap. Tap.

From the corner of his eye, Anson could see Edgar’s index finger lightly tapping on his knee. Despite his calm demeanor and steady expression, revealing no signs of nervousness or unease, this small gesture gave away the truth. A tense atmosphere quietly filled the small car, growing more palpable as they neared the Louvre.

A smile played at the corners of Anson’s eyes. “There’s really no need to worry so much. Today’s Chanel fashion show is filled ...

*Chapter 352: Daring Beyond Belief*

Karl Lagerfeld's position at the pinnacle of the fashion world was not undeserved. His ability to design eight collections annually for Chanel, five for Fendi, and still update his personal brand regularly was nothing short of extraordinary.

And it wasn't just the quantity; the quality of his work was unparalleled—

In 1965, when Fendi, still an Italian local brand at the time, hired Karl as their designer, his first action was to revamp their logo. The iconic double-F sym...

*Chapter 351: A Monumental Shift*

Knock, knock.

In the quiet morning, the sound of a soft knock echoed dully down the hotel hallway, as if the person knocking feared disturbing the weary soul resting inside. But who were they waiting for to respond?

Unexpectedly, after only a brief moment, the door slowly opened, revealing Edgar’s face, slightly fatigued but still unable to suppress his excitement.

Seeing who it was, Edgar let out a long breath. "Mr. Slimane, I can’t thank you enough for ...

Chapter 190: Share the Story You Just Made Up (First Update)

"We found it. There's a thick spatial barrier between Paradise Island and the main world. You can think of it like a black hole separating the routes between stars."

When Atreus announced this to the group of women, their reactions were quite dramatic.

The two Amazonian women were, unsurprisingly, thrilled. Their homeland was their greatest attachment, and being able to return and see their family was more important than anything. Diana had left home while it was under sieg...

*Chapter 189: Finding Paradise Island*

America’s system is full of traps.

All emergency services are commercialized, and in New York, the fire department is connected with ambulances. Their bonuses depend on emergency services, so of course, it's expensive!

Calling an ambulance typically costs no less than $10,000.

That’s why many injured people would rather have friends drive them to the ER or even drag themselves there, enduring fractures or internal bleeding, than call 911.

Because the price...

*Chapter 188: Whale Fall*

On the other side, a few minutes ago, the mortally wounded Master Ancient One plummeted downward.

She crashed through mirrored dimension into real world, colliding tragically with the glass dome at entrance of a skyscraper lobby.

Her condition resembled that of someone who had invested their entire fortune in U.S. bank stocks only to go bankrupt.

If Stephen and Mordo had harbored any doubts about Ancient One before, now there was only endless regret in their hearts. 2024-09-22 14:41:01 +0000 UTC View Post

*Chapter 187: The Next Sorcerer Supreme*

When Atreus saw Ancient One falling, his gaze was locked on her. He knew she was intent on dying and didn’t want him to stop her.

As a result, Ancient One essentially allowed him to alter the course of future.

"Sigh!" Atreus sighed.

At the horizon of his vision, Doctor Strange and another rushed frantically toward the direction where Ancient One had fallen.

Atreus withdrew his gaze and refocused on the unrepentant fallen sorcerer, Kaecilius.

"Bastard! Y...

*Chapter 186: Intentionally Faking One's Own Death*

Everything can be rationalized with a “principle.”

When facing evil people, the Ancient One might slap them to death without wasting words.

However, when facing another protector of Earth, the Ancient One would act reasonably.

Why? Earth is too big, and relying on just one Sorcerer Supreme to protect it is not enough.

In her prime, the Ancient One could spread her awareness across the globe, detecting every major dimensional rift and sending the protectors o...

“Ugh~”

Manhattan School of the Arts, in the acting classroom.

The room wasn’t large, maybe around 70 or 80 square meters, with rows of desks. At the moment, it was mostly empty, with just seven or eight students scattered in the front rows. Luca was one of them.

He sat in the front row with a thick acting textbook, Actor Training, open in front of him. The book had 807 pages, about the size of a large dictionary...

In the Buck Tower's library studio, a cover photo shoot was in progress.

Both Luca and Kate had makeup on.

Luca's hair was slicked back in a British aristocratic style, and his left cheek was dusted with a layer of foundation, making his already pale face even more ghostly. His sharp features were even more defined, and paired with his crimson lip...

The crisp sounds of metal clashing echoed continuously in the forest.

Seimei, wielding his short sword, fought against three Iwa Jonin simultaneously, not showing any signs of being overwhelmed. He could even counterattack occasionally.

However, this was only the current situation. A few minutes ago, facing their coordinated attacks, he had encountered danger several times.

He had wanted to use ninjutsu to break ...

After indulging in his daydreams, Seimei collected his thoughts, closed the panel, got out of bed, and went to wash up.

On the way, he encountered many Konoha ninja who greeted him, and he responded with nods.

Unconsciously, they had been at this base for a month.

And during this month, he had truly lived up to the title of "Demon Sword Seimei," striking fear into the hearts of the Iwa ninja and providing a great sense of security to the lower-rank...
