TM : [208] German Magus

In JOJO's Bizarre Adventure, there is a passage that goes like this:

"The German army, with their greedy means, brought into the war—the most cutting-edge science, astrology, magic, alchemy, superpowers, supernatural phenomena, mobilizing the world's wisdom to declare war on the entire world!"

This passage seemed to resonate with the German magus, Louis Schmidt.

It can be said to be accurate!

The books in his home clearly told him that at that time, Germany was even ...

TM : [207] The Chosen Battlefield of the Holy Grail War

And then—

During the peak popularity of JOJO, another manga titled "Hellsing" also began its own rapid serialization.

It progressed at a pace of two chapters per week.

JOJO's Bizarre Adventure also experienced its peak at this time.

Its popularity even surpassed the Fate series for a while!

With a style that resonated with the times, exceptionally high production quality, mesmerizing music, and sound effects, not to mention the unexpectedly unique character of ...

Ch. 226 Details Determine Success or Failure

When the idea of going to find Gwen came to mind, it grew stronger and even became impossible to shake off. 

However, Russell had no intention of refusing to turn this idea into reality.

While such a life might seem a bit decadent, in a capitalist country, it was somewhat justifiable.

"No. 3, locate Gwen's current position and also gather news related to Spider-Woman from these past few days. Then, project it directly."

Russell opened his previously closed eyes an...

Ch. 225 Checking Learning Progress

Feeling Peter's anticipation, Russell didn't refuse and agreed with a smile.

After suppressing his physical qualities such as strength and speed to be similar to Peter's, the battle between Russell and Peter began.

Hulk decisively moved to the edge of the training ground to watch as an audience.

"Let me see what you've learned these past few days," Russell said, not initiating an attack but raising his right hand and beckoning Peter with a crooked finger.

Peter didn't ...

TM : [206] Other Masters

"Is this okay?" Ambrose Conant looked at Kotomine Kirei, who had the snake fossil with him, and asked Alvin.

"What does it matter?" Alvin smiled. "Isn't it more interesting this way?"

"Well... if that Heroic Spirit charms Kotomine Kirei, it might be problematic."

"Wouldn't that be even more interesting?" Alvin laughed, his eyes nearly disappearing, his entire eye almost entirely white. "That's what makes it interesting! In the conflict between the holy and the magical, who w...

TM : [205] Snake!

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the Command Spells in his hand, a man with orange hair laughed heartily.

"It really appeared, huh, Command Spells... Command Spells... The Holy Grail has chosen me! The Holy Grail believes that my thoughts are correct! Well... but where will the Holy Grail War take place? Fuyuki City? Ah~~ maybe not there... but well, I'll find a way."

Ryunosuke Uryu, the escaped convict, laughed with joy.

In the past few years, he had tried to explore the mysterie...

TM : [204] Timid Warrior

At the beginning, there was a slight itch on the back of his hand, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It seemed that at that moment, three new Command Spells had appeared...

Along with that, the other two Command Spells on Kazuya's hand seemed to come alive.

It wasn't a metaphor; it was real...

Kazuya could feel the connection between the Command Spells and the Greater Grail.

"Well then... if that's the case—"

Kazuya slowly closed his eyes, focusing his mi...

TM : [203] Holy Grail War - Opening!

"I remember your name is Noel Layard, right?" She turned her head, looking at the magus who called her.

"Yes... yes!" Noel, sweating profusely, stammered, "I... I have the responsibility to participate in the Holy Grail War! Please!"

"Alright, then I'll give you a slot. Keep your Command Spell for yourself."

"Huh?" Noel was stunned. Was it really that easy?

"Among these magus, you're the only one who dares to speak to me like this. Not bad, true to the Layard name. I'l...

Ch. 224 Let's Try Double Ponytails

It has to be said that Ellie was indeed a competent secretary.

Even though she was young, only 23 years old, and had limited work experience, with just one year as an intern secretary, Ellie was a young professional who knew how to enhance her competitiveness in the workplace.

Ellie dutifully carried out her secretarial duties, and she and Russell had just finished playing a game of Flight Chess.

Although Ellie was just an ordinary person and lacked any extraordinary abiliti...

Ch. 223 The Recently Graduated Female Secretary

If you calculate the time, it had been a while since Ellie became his secretary. 

After Kara joined the Justice League as Supergirl, No. 3 arranged for the HR department to recruit a real secretary for Russell.

After a series of selections and background checks, Ellie, who had recently graduated, became Russell's secretary.

Due to his reclined position, Russell's gaze naturally followed Ellie's long legs wrapped in black stockings as it traveled upwards.

Ellie's l...

TM : [202] Bestowal of the Command Spell

London—

The Greater Grail.

The Greater Grail, filled with magical energy, emitted a faint glow, illuminating the underground space in London.

Barthomeloi Lorelei, one of the Clock Tower's Lord, walked slowly on a platform next to it, observing the situation below.

Behind her was the contemporary head of the von Einzbern family, Jubstacheit von Einzbern.

"It seems that the Command Spell bestowal is almost ready," Lorelei said, her tone firm and unyielding.<...

TM : [201] The Year 1990

"I estimate that I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow when I wake up."

Kazuya looked at the wound on his arm and bandaged it with a bandage.

Diarmuid had already returned to the Throne of Heroes, and the "non-healing" wound he left behind naturally became a healable one.

At the same time, he also wanted to rest. Starting tomorrow, he would begin learning... undoubtedly, it would be healing magecraft.

However, some things needed to be learned from the beginning. He enrol...

Ch. 222 Recasting the Glory of the Close Combat Mage

Aside from wanting to see who was crazier between himself and Thanos, Russell had another curiosity.

He wanted to find out whether Thanos, possessing the Eternal Titan physiology, was better at using the martial arts or if he, with his Kryptonian physiology, was more skilled at his own version of martial arts.

If they could truly engage in a bare-knuckle brawl, it would undoubtedly be a thrilling battle.

Russell was looking forward to this prospect.

Although he had som...

Ch. 221 Starting from the Basics

While becoming the Ancient One's apprentice was a commendable achievement, Russell knew that this achievement was nearly impossible to accomplish.

As strong as the Ancient One was, there was no guarantee that she would live long enough for Russell to activate "Dark Doctor Strange."

Furthermore, even if he gained the abilities of "Dark Doctor Strange," it was unlikely that the Ancient One would accept him as her student.

"Since I chose to accept immediately in over 6 million ...

TM : [200] Heroic Spirits

"Servant—?"

The Dead Apostle, Colin Kidd, couldn't believe it. "Isn't he just a manga artist? How could he become a Servant? No... that feeling, it's definitely a Servant! But... what on earth is happening?"

It wasn't just the Dead Apostle; Diarmuid also looked surprised.

The person in front of them... transformed into a Heroic Spirit in the midst of the battle?

"Huff..." Kazuya also let out a breath, gripping his own hands tightly. Surrendering his body without resi...

TM : [199] In the Form of a Human

No—Not necessarily!

"Ripple—Dash!" Kazuya forcefully pulled back his right hand, the threads on his right hand glove entwining with the yellow short spear that had just been wrapped around Lancer. His left hand, covered in ripples, also moved towards the Heroic Spirit in front of him!

In an instant, watching as Lancer broke free from the mystic eyes of dark abyss through the release of magical power, Kazuya spoke, "Are you planning to retract your own spear? Or attack me with ...

Ch. 220 Taking the Ancient One as a Disciple?

"It seems you not only know who I am but are also familiar with me and Kamar-Taj," the Ancient One calmly looked at Russell and slowly spoke.

"I only know, but I wouldn't say I'm particularly familiar," Russell replied calmly, placing his glass of whiskey on the nearby table.

He spoke the truth; he couldn't really claim to be very familiar with the Ancient One and Kamar-Taj. Of course, compared to most people, he knew a bit more.

Observing Russell's completely unruffled deme...

Ch. 219 The Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One

After returning to his office and checking the time, Russell began his daily pastime: playing games.

Although he didn't have any other work to attend to at the moment, Diana hadn't finished her work either, and going back to his apartment wouldn't offer him much to do. So, he decided to stay in the office and enjoy some quality alone time.

As he focused on operating his game character for a perfect infiltration, No. 3's voice suddenly rang out.

"Sir, Stardust Charities has r...

TM : [198] Servant Lancer

"Hey, wait! I'm real, I swear!"

Waver sighed, said nothing more, and lowered his head. It wasn't the first time... Every month, there were a few people who claimed to be Kuroakwa Kazuya and even some who said they knew Alexander. There were even those who claimed to have future information and would become his disciples...

Well, the last one was three times his age.

Being famous attracts rumors.

Now, in the Clock Tower, he was somewhat of a celebrity. The crucial point...

TM : [197] Waver Velvet

Looking at the room in front of him.

Diarmuid Ua Duibhne tightened the spear in his hand and then released it.

Then tightened it again, and released it.

His expression was very conflicted...

In another room, his Master, the Dead Apostle, was drinking human blood.

Initially, Diarmuid managed to obtain some non-scarce blood types from the hospital using his knowledge.

But the Dead Apostle was very dissatisfied, and in the end, he personally captured a passerb...

Ch. 218 Inventing a New Element

Since Tony announced the closure of the weapons development department, Stark Industries' market value had dropped significantly. Coupled with the fact that Stark Industries no longer accepted new military orders, its already declining market value worsened.

After the initial plummet, Stark Industries managed to stabilize its market value, thanks to its technological advancements that kept it at the forefront of the defense industry.

However, Stark Industries had evolved into more...

Ch. 217 I Want to See Howard

After discussing the movie with Kara, Russell was about to leave the dressing room when his phone rang.

It was a call from Tony Stark!

What could he be calling for?

Russell looked at the caller ID, a hint of puzzlement on his face. While his relationship with Tony was decent, they didn't interact much in normal circumstances.

After pressing the answer button, Tony's voice came through.

"Do you have some free time now? Is it convenient for you to come to Stark Tow...

TM : [196] Executor

"Colin Kidd..." Priest Neil Edington looked at the photo in his hand.

"Yes, he's a Dead Apostle who has lived for a hundred years, evading the pursuit of the Church for a century, and also your ladder to promotion."

"The Burial Agency..." Neil Edington's eyes flickered slightly.

"Ah... You still have a long way to go for that... No, a very long way," Father Ambrose Conant shook his head. "But... this can be considered as furthering your 'holiness.'"

The Burial Agen...

TM : [195] Subspecies Holy Grail War

"It's over—"

Even with one eye gouged out, Priest Neil Edington remained resolute.

While he lost an eye on his side, the Dead Apostle...

Several black keys on his chest were about to lead him down the path to hell.

"Pray, I will forgive you."

"Ugh..." The Dead Apostle supported his knees, barely managing not to collapse.

Blood continued to flow from the wound, staining the ground red.

"Over?" The Dead Apostle, Colin Kidd, laughed, a hearty laugh. Wi...

Ch. 216 Have You Gained Weight?

Even though Peter verbally agreed, Russell could see the little thoughts running through his mind.

However, he didn't say anything more.

He had already given all the reminders he needed to.

If Peter continued to be disobedient and insisted on being rebellious, then he would have to experience the consequences of his rebellion firsthand.

Teenagers in their rebellious phase like Peter often couldn't understand the good intentions of adults until they personally experienc...

Ch. 215 Peter's Spider-Man Suit

This wasn't the first time Peter had been sent flying.

He had experienced it many times when facing the Hulk in combat.

However, this time, there was an incredulous expression on his face.

It was normal to be sent flying by the Hulk's powerful punches, but Russell's punch was clearly different.

Although Russell's punch had immense strength as well, Peter couldn't understand how Russell could generate such tremendous power in such a short distance.

It didn't make ...

TM : [194] Clock Tower

In the eyes of the Dead Apostle Colin Kidd, there was a strong sense of killing intent.

In the next moment, he broke free from the compelled Kazuya's mystic eye. However, at this moment, a black key was inserted into his head.

There were many magus around, but they all maintained a passive attitude, showing no intention of taking action.

After all, both the Holy Church and the Dead Apostles were their enemies.

In the next moment, a surprising scene that astonished Kazu...

TM : [193] Kurokawa Kazuya's Mystic Eyes

"When can this come off?" Kazuya pointed to the bandage on his eye.

"About an hour." Leandra said, "In reality, the wound has completely healed, but the connection hasn't finished bonding yet; it still needs some time. An hour is already sufficient."

Kazuya was somewhat surprised.

Is it that easy to change eyes?

The entire process felt like nothing, and he was told that it would be over in another hour when he woke up.

"Indeed, it's worthy of being called the Mys...

Ch. 214 Peter's Combat Training

Looking at Bakshi's current performance, Russell nodded in satisfaction.

While the Hydra brainwashing techniques were somewhat inhumane, there was no denying that they were highly effective.

The organization had lived up to its reputation as inventors and perfectors of this technology.

"As for how to take over the leadership positions left by Whitehall and Pierce, figure it out yourself. I'll provide you with all the resources you need."

Russell said to Bakshi.

"...

Ch. 213 Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"

"What I meant was, it's not so easy to take over the leadership positions left by Whitehall and Pierce. I'm just a mid-level operative."

Bakshi quickly explained, fearing that Russell had misunderstood him.

He was now somewhat intimidated by Russell.

He never would have expected that Russell would eliminate Whitehall and Pierce as soon as he saw them.

"Rules are meant to be broken, I don't care about Hydra's rules. Right now...
