Ch. 270 Winner Takes All

After enjoying an authentic German afternoon tea at Gideon's estate, Russell received a message from No. 3.

Stephanie's brainwashing had been completed!

Without hesitation, Russell opened a portal to the brainwashing room at the Justice League headquarters.

As the sparkling portal took shape, he didn't immediately head to the brainwashing room. Instead, he beckoned toward Stephanie on the other side of the portal.

If Stephanie, who had grown up in luxury from a young a...

DN : [65] Its You!

Tiona and Tione, the two sisters, exchanged glances, but neither of them was willing to speak.

With a look, Tione signaled to Tiona to explain. 

However, Tiona chose to turn her head and ignore it directly. Others might not know, but she herself know about Lefiya's fragile little heart. If she were to be told, who knows how she would react.

"What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Lefiya was also a little annoyed. The two of you exchanged glances, excluding her....

Ch. 269 The Sole Owner of the Hydra

As someone who had spent decades in the world of society, witnessed various grand scenes, and achieved significant accomplishments, Gideon didn't particularly enjoy the feeling he had right now.

Although Russell currently appeared somewhat polite, at least he hadn't immediately displayed his unreasonable strength, in reality, Russell hadn't given him any room for negotiation or choice.

What was even more important was that Russell somehow knew about Nathan's situation.

This ...

DN : [64] Tiona, Who Doesn't Know How to Speak!

As night fell, the Loki Familia's dinning hall was filled with members who had worked hard throughout the day and had returned. 

The entire dinning hall was now crowded with people—some in small groups and others alone. However, this atmosphere was indeed what many familia members had longed for.

At one table sat Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, and Akii.

They were all core members of the familia, including Aki, who was a logistical member. Both she and Raul served as Gareth's a...

TM : [249] Lucky

Watching the sunlight that was faintly visible at the end of the corridor, DIO said, "The rest is up to you; I'll start spiritualizing!"

"Yes, leave it to us! Lord Dio!"

...

10:22

On the other side—

In a dimly lit room, Louis Schmidt watched JoJo on TV while eating fruits.

"You did a great job with this JoJo anime."

As he spoke, he touched the three Command Spells on the back of his hand.

Three Command Spells...

And in this dimly lit roo...

DN : [63] Wabisuke!

August approached the Sabertooth Tiger King step by step.

The two stared at each other.

*ROOOOAR*

The Sabertooth Tiger King initiated the attack first, roaring angrily before moving.

August raised the Zanpakuto in front of him and began chanting the incantation for Shikai.

"Raise Your Head, Wabisuke!"

As the words fell, August's Zanpakuto began to transform. The blade gradually extended forward, forming a 'hook' shape.

This was Wabisu...

TM : [248] Rampaging Dragon

"It's here..." DIO rubbed his slightly dizzy head and spoke.

"Lord DIO, the escape route is ready—" One of the dead apostles in the collapsed building informed DIO.

Boom—

An arrow flew over and pierced the ground near DIO's feet.

"Got it, let's go."

DIO stood up, his gaze cold as he looked at the deadly arrow that had been sent their way, "No need to leave anyone behind. Let's run... we still have the last eight hours, no... maybe we won't even need all eight...

Ch. 268 Pushing Too Far

A manor in the suburbs of Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, Germany.

From the outside, this manor appeared no different from other manors with a certain historical pedigree.

However, in reality, this was one of Gideon Malick's secret bases.

Or rather, it was a secret base of the Hydra.

Russell hadn't opened the exit of the portal inside the manor; instead, he opened it right in front of the manor's entrance.

As he and Skye stepped out of the portal, the guard...

Ch. 267 The God of Dark Magic

It didn't take long before the phone was answered, and Natasha's naturally seductive voice came through the other end of the line.

"I'm busy right now, so just say what you need."

Aside from Natasha's seductive voice, there were some strange background noises on the phone, sounding somewhat like a man's painful cries.

"I want information on Gideon Malick!"

Russell didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Why do you need information on Gideon Malick?" Nata...

DN : [62] Sabertooth Tiger King!

Swish~ 

A vigorous figure continuously shuttled through the cave. Everywhere they went, all the monsters were killed with a single blow.

There were at least a dozen Sabertooth Tigers around, each of them being level 2 monsters. However, now they were like little cats, all wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"I've become stronger~"

Ais felt her speed and strength, feeling incredibly surprised.

Since reaching level 5, it had been three years, and her gr...

TM : [247] The Beginning of the Attack

"I see, if that's the case, it's indeed a tricky situation. So, does that mean we have to kill him before Rider on the Black Faction ascends to heaven?" Barthomeloi Lorelei looked at Martha and inquired.

"Yes, that's right," Martha nodded and confirmed, "Everyone heard what the Master of Lancer on the Black Faction said, right? Dio is about to gain a genuine ability to destroy the world, so... we have to defeat him before that happens!"

"Well then... I'll excuse myself for now." K...

DN : [61] Pleasure Built Upon Others' Pain!

The next morning, as the sunlight streamed through the window, it fell upon a man and a woman.

"Mmm~"

August slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw upon opening them was Ais's delicate face.

Unable to resist, August leaned in and left a kiss on her forehead.

"August~"

At this moment, Ais also woke up.

They had done what they should and shouldn't have done last night.

Though naturally innocent, Ais understood that now, after becoming a coup...

TM : [246] The Possibilities of Kurokawa Kazuya

The location to ascend to heaven is not just one.

There are landing points that suit each individual.

After calculations, Dio determined that his ascent to heaven would be here, in Kairo!

And...

There are other requirements: "At the moment of the new moon" and "Fourteen key terms."

As well as...

The corresponding sinners.

Or enemies, if you will—

"Fate is firmly on my side, DIO." Watching the rising sun from the shadows, DIO concealed himself ...

Ch. 266 Temptation

Looking at the bank cards in front of them, Wanda and Pietro were both a little stunned.

They hadn't expected Russell to suggest that they go shopping.

This...

Although Baron Strucker hadn't mistreated them much before, ever since they willingly became Baron Strucker's experiments, they hadn't left Baron Strucker's castle.

"Are you serious?" Pietro asked incredulously.

"Is there a problem?" Russell asked calmly.

"After all, it's your first time in New York....

TM : [245] Ahead of the New Moon

"That sea demon..."

Alucard shook his head. "Yes, I absorbed its blood, and yes, that creature is undoubtedly dead now. I believe there's no one more accurate in determining the death of a being that doesn't belong to the living realm."

"Right, so what's the outcome? Did it succeed, or did it fail?"

"The answer is a failure. I couldn't swallow that thing into my river."

"Why?"

"Blood is the currency of the soul... But first, there's a crucial point to note. That ...

Ch. 265 Whetting Wanda's Body

Although not entirely convinced, Pietro eventually accepted the fact that he lost to Russell in terms of speed.

This wasn't because Russell deliberately tripped him, but because Russell effortlessly caught up to him as he ran at full speed.

While he had argued earlier that his full speed was different, in reality, he had already reached the fastest speed he could achieve at that moment. Although he could push himself further to increase his speed slightly, the margin for improveme...

DN : [60] Ais Wallenstein! (R-18)

Seeing the wine placed aside by August, Ais immediately felt puzzled.

"August, what is this?"

Ais looked at the white wine bottle on the table.

"Oh, this is a good wine from my hometown. I wanted to have a bit today, but I didn't have the chance."

"Can I try it?"

Upon hearing that it was a wine from August's hometown, Ais instinctively wanted to taste it.

Although she didn't like drinking, as a member of the Loki Familia, gatherings happened frequently, and...

DN : [59] Eight Normal Draws!

Without lingering on the 28th floor, now that the adamantite ore has been obtained, it's time to go back.

However, compared to the hurried rush to get here, August was more casual on the way back. There was no rush, as the items were already in hand and wouldn't run away. Whenever they went back, it was fine—sooner or later.

As they traveled, August opened the gacha draw interface.

What to do?

Of course, draw gacha!

For a gacha enthusiast, having the opportunit...

TM : [244] The Inescapable Outcome

"Roar!" Berserker roared while swinging his halberd, aiming at Gilgamesh's head.

Swinging through the air, chains appeared and coiled around Lu Bu.

"What are you doing? Mongrel, had enough yet?" Gilgamesh mocked as various Noble Phantasms materialized around him, ruthlessly thrusting towards Berserker's vital points.

"Oh... oh... roaaarrrr! (Don't think this will bind me!)" Berserker, Lu Bu, exerting his strength to break free from the heavenly chains.

These chains wer...

Ch. 264 The Battle of Men's Determination

Wanda and Pietro didn't notice Russell's subtle actions. After exchanging glances, Wanda slowly approached Russell.

Five meters may not seem like a long distance, but it's enough to make a difference. By the time Wanda reached Russell, he had already added three layers of protection to his brain and mind.

Normally, one layer of protection would suffice, especially since Wanda hadn't mastered chaos magic yet. However, for safety's sake, Russell decided to add a few extra layers. Be...

Ch. 263 Wanda's Superpower

Seeing Pietro pick up Wanda without hesitation and run, Russell sighed helplessly.

He had just been so polite, and yet...

Russell shook his head and activated his X-ray vision and telescopic vision.

It had to be said that Pietro, with his super speed, was incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, he had covered several kilometers with Wanda in tow.

If it weren't for Russell's telescopic vision, he wouldn't have been able to locate them.

After confirming Pietro and ...

DN : [58] Fire Release - Great Fire Annihilation!

August lay on a massive rock, and below, a large number of monsters continued to spawn.

Dozens, hundreds, until the surroundings were densely packed with monsters, August nodded, indicating that it was almost enough.

And because of his actions, some monsters on the adamantite mine side had already rushed over.

However, August wasn't worried. There were two Level 5 adventurers, Ais and Bete, there. With them, there wouldn't be any problems.

His gaze fell on the monsters...

TM : [243] Unpredictable Conclusion

Dendera Electric Bulb————

It was a strike from the pyramids in the desert around Kairo——

In an instant, the light column pierced through the colossal sea demon, cutting off a quarter of its flesh.

Then——

The sea demon paused for a moment, only to recover instantly the next moment!

"Well... it's at its limit. In terms of conventional methods, this is the strongest long-range attack I can use!"

"What about unconventional methods?" Barthomeloi ...

DN : [57] Meet Bete Again!

Bete Loga, the son of the chief of the werewolf tribe on the northern plains, belonged to a tribe that had not received falna from gods. Educated by his people, he firmly believed in the survival of the fittest.

However, on Bete's twelfth birthday, the entire tribe was attacked by monsters. Except for Bete, no one survived, including his parents, sister, and lover!

This tragedy fueled Bete's desire for strength because only with power could he protect everything dear to him.

Ch. 262 Wanda and Pietro

Even though Skye had been learning from Perkins for three days now, her talent in combat was far from her proficiency with computers. Nevertheless, under Perkins' deliberate efforts to go easy on her, Skye managed to hold her ground during their sparring.

While she couldn't see a clear path to victory, she also wasn't completely defenseless.

When Skye was knocked down by Perkins once again, Russell, who had been observing from the sidelines, stood up.

"Let's take a break for...

TM : [242] The Ultimate...

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The sea demon was stopped by Enkidu alone.

However...

Enkidu frowned as he looked at the sea demon in front of him. "This... what's going on?"

"What's wrong, Lancer?" Modred asked in confusion.

"I don't know... That sea demon seems to have no vital points... My Noble Phantasm should have pierced every inch of its body without any blind spots, but... it's still alive!"

"That's right, because the sea demon has already eliminated ...

DN : [56] Three Days Pass in the Blink of an Eye!

Time hurriedly passed, and for three days, both Loki Familia and Hephaestus Familia were busy.

Firstly, Loki Familia formed a mining team consisting of level 3 adventurers. There were twelve members in total, responsible for the excavation of the adamantite mine on the 28th floor. Alongside them, there was also a level 5 escort to prevent any unexpected incidents.

As for the people in Orario, they were also not idle and started bustling about.

However, August remained indiff...

TM : [241] The Birth of Malice

"You haven't seen anything, go back——" The clone squad's magus patted the shoulder of someone nearby. Just as he finished speaking, in an instant, his heart was taken out.

"What?" The magus's face changed. Flames suddenly ignited around him, turning the hand of the dead apostle reaching for his heart into ashes.

"Dead apostle?" Turning to look at the dead apostles one by one, the magus smiled, "These dead apostles dare to show themselves in front of our squad for clearing dead...

Ch. 261 Joining the Justice League

Join the Justice League?

After hearing Russell's words, Skye showed a shocked and incredulous expression.

When the Justice League was first established, Russell publicly stated that it welcomed those with aspirations to join.

While many people did send self-recommendation letters to the Justice League, and the number of members in the Justice League was steadily increasing, those who had successfully joined so far were mostly individuals with superpowers.

To be precise...

DN : [55] Shock Caused by Armament Haki!

Watching Ais, who was so tense around August, everyone sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Especially Loki, who considered Ais as her own flesh and blood, was now in an extremely irritable mood. The gaze she directed at August was filled with murderous intent.

If it weren't for Finn holding her back, she might have already rushed over to wipe the smirk off August's face. 

As for August, he naturally enjoyed the attention. The princess of your house is now officially kidnapped...
