Russell didn't believe that his magical talent was lacking.
But he never expected his magical talent to be this exceptional.
No, this wasn't merely a matter of good magical talent; he was now nothing short of a magical prodigy.
If he didn't know for sure that the evolutionary reward he had received was "The Marvelous Superman," he would have doubted whether he had received the rewards of "Dark Doctor Strange" or "Doctor Strange."
After sizing up the peculiar "wall" in ...

Establishing a mental connection from over 6,000 kilometers away might not seem particularly remarkable.
You see, the God of Symbiote, Knull, under normal circumstances, could establish mental connections with other Symbiotes even across a galaxy. Over 6,000 kilometers was a trivial distance for the God of Symbiote, Knull.
However, the catch was that Russell wasn't Knull.
While the King's Serum had significantly enhanced his Symbiote abilities and granted him the power to co...

After the press conference ended, Russell had Gwen take Peter outside to build their reputation.
Being a superhero wasn't something that people would simply accept based on self-claim.
Without real examples, even if you bought news headlines every day to promote yourself as a superhero, people wouldn't acknowledge it.
Once Gwen and Peter left, Russell returned to his office.
Since he had already decided to start with Callum's Apples of Eden yesterday, he didn't want to...

Although Perkins didn't know what White Zetsu was, and had no idea about its powers, her intuition as a woman told her that White Zetsu, as described by Russell, was undoubtedly formidable.
Apart from White Zetsu, she was also very interested in the Strengthening serum Russell mentioned.
Even though the Strengthening serum created by the Octopus Monster Labs experiment was currently only available to the military, Perkins had heard about the Strengthening serum developed by ...

The collision of the two Noble Phantasms was just the beginning, not the end.
Even with such a clash of Noble Phantasms.
Both heroes, the two Servants, remained unscathed—
Gate of Babylon.
In an instant—
A vast array of treasures covering the sky appeared, the Gate of Babylon opened to its maximum extent—
The golden radiance in the sky was like a sun, illuminating the desert!

A powerful force directly sent August flying.
He crashed into the rock wall, and the intense impact made August cough up a mouthful of blood.
Four level 2 minotaurs, for August, who was at level 1, were nothing short of a natural disaster.
If there were only one, August might have some chance of winning, but with four, he had absolutely no chance. The absolute gap in strength was impossible to overcome.
"Are you okay, August?"

"Me? I'm from faraway land."
"Faraway land?"
"That's right."
"So you're not from around here?"
"Yeah, my home is very far from Orario."
August muttered, not even from this world, and whether he could return in this lifetime was an unknown.
Transmigration, indeed, was something countless p...

Perkins was indeed on the High Table's list of targets, but she was just one of many.
Judging from the fate of the five assassins who were also on the list but died during their capture, the High Table had not issued orders to capture Perkins and the others alive.
Perkins was, in fact, an ordinary person.
However, she was a woman with extensive experience in assassination and deadly skills.
She might not be able to take on the High Table or resist them in combat.

Monsters emitting black smoke surrounded the area.
Although there was some distance between them, it was enough for their kind to rush to support at the fastest speed.

Aki was shocked. In her many years in Orario, the monster feasts she experienced were rare.

Walking on the streets of Orario, adventurers coming and going had become a scenic sight in Orario.
Passing by a vendor selling armor, the merchant recognized August.
"Well, isn't this the newcomer from the Loki Familia? A few days ago, you with Nine Hell, then switched to Sword Princess, and today you with Alchat. How fortunate!"

Two wooden swords collided.
However, after just a few breaths of stalemate, August was forced back.
Although he was just one step away from leveling up now, and had acquired the Eight Thousand Sword Styles, the absolute gap in strength couldn't be filled.
Even if Ais restrained her strength, she still suppressed August effortlessly.
Watching August in front of her, a storm surged in Ais's heart.

Today was a day that August found incredibly fulfilling.
He spent the entire morning hunting monsters, finally completing the mission by noon and earning five gacha draws. He drew a swordsmanship inheritance, a magic sword-grade weapon, and a ninjutsu card in the subsequent draws.
In the afternoon, back at the Familia with Finn's company, August updated his falna, further deepening the bond.
He even successfully persuaded a cat girl to join his team.

After eating and drinking their fill, August and Aki left the familia together.
After all, for the upcoming battle tomorrow, he needed to replenish his weapons and equipment. Otherwise, the Gate of Babylon would just be a warehouse skill.

As the saying goes, there's no gain without loss.

After a while, Aki noticed that August hadn't responded to her.
Looking closely, she couldn't help but chuckle.
August was staring at his own legs in a daze, with a smile on his face, lost in thought about something.
Honestly, when Aki saw this scene, her first reaction wasn't anger, but rather pride! No matter how favored he was by Captain Finn and the Goddess Loki, he was still captivated by her charm.
Aki suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, slightly bending over,...

The last part was not mandatory, but from Finn's attitude, she could sense something.
She was the beautiful girl among the beautiful girls, and the target of this h...

"Half-elf consultant? And from the guild?"
"Yes, and it seems the half-elf's mother is Riveria's friend."

Although Finn couldn't comprehend divine script, he could still understand the numerical values of the ability points.
The dazzling 'SSS' and '1500' at the end were simply two incredible data.

It wasn't just this sword, now, in August's inventory, almost all weapons were nearing the point of being scrapped.

"No, you're already good enough. If it were another level one person, they would have been knocked down by me long ago and wouldn't be able to get up."

In the afternoon, Ais once again found August as promised.
However, this time was different. Ais had a little follower by her side.
Lefiya, a fangirl who admired Ais in her heart and chased after her.
Although she wasn't a weakling, as the second seed mage trained by the familia and Riveria's disciple, she was a level 3 adventurer.
The only drawback was that she had been well-protected by the familia, so although her strength was lacking, her combat skills were still o...

"I can, but it's not suitable here."
August looked around, there were quite a few people on the street now.

Back in Orario, all the magic stones and drops were exchanged for Valis.
This trip directly yielded August over forty to nearly fifty thousand Valis, with the majority coming from monster drops. Although they were the lowest-tier drops, they were still valuable.
Combined with yesterday's ten thousand Valis, August was now a wealthy man with over fifty thousand Valis.
However, this was only relative.
For a newcomer, August was definitely considered rich now.
