Chapter 293: Khorne: Dammit, I'm All In!

In the dim cabin, the flickering candlelight cast twisted shadows on the metal walls, like a thousand prying eyes.

There were four cards.

One, exuding an intoxicating fragrance, floated on the far left, its surface swirling with an unnatural purple light. Next to it was a cauldron, carved with blasphemous runes, constantly seeping a putrid green mist. Beside the cauldron was a crystal card, countless star-like vor...

Chapter 292: A Rabble Has No Hope of Winning

Compared to Forrix, who had always maintained a defensive posture, Perturabo's own pieces advanced more aggressively, occupying the left half of the board and allowing him to constantly be on the offensive.

Click.

Forrix moved a piece on the board. He picked up one of the Chancellors in the front row and carefully placed it to the side of a pawn, leaving a small opening in Perturabo's attack route. He then too...

Chapter 115: The Room of Gifted Hope

The dark, distant sky swallowed the last pine needle on the horizon. In the hidden room, the fireplace crackled quietly. The anti-biting glove, left on the table by Sean, twitched slightly in the draft.

Mr. Filch looked down. A small patch of the fading sunset light, catching the gilded edge of the glove, rested on his hand.

Sean walked briskly through the corridors, the castle's usual weekend chaos in full swing. Bru...

Chapter 113: The Untouchable Hand

Chapter 113: The Untouchable Hand

Saturday night at Hogwarts was always chaotic. The students returning from Hogsmeade brought their high spirits—and contraband—back with them.

Mr. Filch was, predictably, swamped. He was always on high alert for troublemakers, especially those two red-headed menaces. His encounters with the Weasley twins had fostered in him a deep-seated animosity for all red-haired wizards.

As Filch finished his exhausting patrol and trudged back toward...

Chapter 125: The Golden Crow's Glare x Netero's Special Treatment

Gotoh was a professional. Unlike Kurapika, he rarely smiled. He pushed up the glasses on his nose, carefully studying the golden crow, and silently committed the name "Goldie" to memory.

The inferno that had just consumed their surroundings was all Goldie's doing. The young butler wasn't about to underestimate the creature just because it looked cute and round. After all, it was the Young Master's Nen ...

Chapter 124: The Kiriko Family's Shock x Two Old Men Silenced

Chapter 124: The Kiriko Family's Shock x Two Old Men Silenced

Humans are humans, and magical beasts are magical beasts. Each has its own territory. The cities belonged to humans, the jungles and swamps to the beasts. But at some point, humanity began to multiply, encroaching on the beasts' lands, hunting them—for food, for clothing, for trophies—forcing them into smaller and smaller spaces with nowhere to go.

The Kiriko, as humanoid magical beasts who could shape...

Chapter 53: The Siege of Cadia

Chapter 53: The Siege of Cadia

Petros had no way of knowing what transpired aboard the Eternal Crusader. He only knew that, hours later, the Vengeful Spirit voxed a fleet-wide message: The Warmaster, Ezekyle Abaddon, had slain High Marshal Sigismund in single combat.

In a final, grim gesture, Abaddon had the High Marshal's corpse returned to the Imperial fleet.

Upon receiving their champion's body, the Imperial fleet's morale shattered. Admiral Valdor kn...

Chapter 52: The Battle of Cadia

Petros stood on the bridge of The Judgment's Edge, his boot resting on the corpse of its unyielding captain.

With the command center secured, he voxed First Squad. "Thor, this is Petros. We hold the bridge. Six casualties. Report."

Thor's voice crackled back, broken by static: "...secured... Enginarium. Two casualties."

"Acknowledged."

A third voice cut in. It was Ship-Master Barnabas from The Iro...

Chapter 76: The Purge Protocol

Leaving the mentally shattered Elliot Kwan, Moiré proceeded without pause. Her next target was Karl Strange, an Operations Coordinator for Militech's Special Projects Division.

Unlike Kwan, who hid behind layers of passive defenses, Strange displayed a confidence born of his surroundings. He was located in a high-end private club in Heywood, a Militech-controlled subsidiary. Publicly an elite social venue, it was, in reality, a fortifi...

Chapter 75: Moiré's Operation

Corporate Plaza and the City Center are the eternal heart of Night City's power. Even in the dead of night, this district never truly sleeps.

Skyscrapers rise like cold, metal titans, their silhouettes carving sharp lines against the artificial sky. Arasaka Tower is the most dominant, a silent monarch presiding over the city. Its skin is alive with massive holographic ads and real-time data-streams, bathing the streets in a bright, ster...

Chapter 302: Sengoku's Terror, the Truth Revealed!

"Evolving?"

"What the hell is that thing?"

"Could it really be a legendary angel from heaven…?"

"Silence!" Sengoku slammed his fist on the table, his face as dark as a storm. "Angels do not exist in this world! Do not be deceived by this so-called holy appearance!"

"Correct," Brannew continued. "According to the analysis of the science department, it is most likely a lucky cre...

Chapter 301: The Highest Bounty! A Diabolical Threat!

"What other plan could there be?! We've been utterly defeated! What plan?! Are we supposed to gather the entire Marine force and fight them to the bitter end?!" Saint Warcury roared. "Don't forget, Nusjuro, you were the one who spearheaded this operation! I suggested we report to our lord first, but you were the one who swore to us that as long as we could unleash the 'Divine Binding,' our success rate was 100%!"

"You are..."

Basalt looked at the man, completely bewildered. He had no memory of ever meeting him.

But when the others saw the man, they all respectfully made way. Even the Roba youths who had been clamoring to challenge Basalt fell silent, their eyes filled with reverence.

"Big Brother Adil!" Amuyar recognized the man.

Adil was the most outstanding trainer of the Roba Tribe in the ...

Chapter 311: Substitute's First Victory

Chapter 311: Substitute's First Victory

Larvitar's Quicksand Domain was far too vast, so vast that it surpassed even what a Pro-level Pokémon could achieve with Sand Tomb.

Watching the Quicksand Domain continue to expand, the surrounding crowd hastily retreated, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

"Is this the power of the Desert Tyrant's cub?" Alim's eyes were wide, as if a new world had opened up to him.

Sure enough, you can't trus...

Chapter 304: The End of the Third War!

"That Yellow Flash?"

The Five-Tails, Kokuō, clearly had a deep impression of Minato Namikaze. After all, the two had fought side-by-side in the Land of Hot Water for a time.

"He seems like a capable shinobi, but isn't there still a vast distance between him and a 'savior'?"

The Five-Tails, Kokuō, wasn't some "country beast" that had seen nothing of the world.

Originating from the Ten-Tail...

Chapter 303: The Interlocking Prophecies!

Was it possible that a steady, step-by-step approach was no longer suitable for this shinobi world, which was full of brutes?

Hearing Tsunade spill his true goal without a moment's hesitation, Nara Keisuke quickly performed a self-review.

However, when Katsuyu turned her "gaze" toward him, he firmly chose to stand on a united front with Princess Tsunade.

"That is correct!"

Nara Keisuke s...

Chapter 291: Perturabo: If Only Dantioch Were Here

He buried his sour emotions deep. Within the silent and massive bridge, a series of meticulously planned star-lanes gradually took shape. With the authority and connection he was born with, he commanded his mortal slaves in the material universe, manipulating them with his thoughts like the strings of a puppet.

As early as the Tenth Black Crusade, launched by Abaddon, Perturabo had relied on the powerful logic-engine...

Vigilus, Hyperia Hive, Aquila Council Government District, Romulus's Office

After returning from the sacred domain of the Motive Force, Magos Vosch lovingly toyed with the material in his hands. It was what he had been pursuing all along, a crystal material that could amplify the influence of the warp through Blackstone components, thus, to a certain extent, replacing small and medium-sized Volcano Cannons for ...

A towering white building stood before them.

After their journey, during which they had experienced numerous worldview-shattering events and seen people they shouldn't have seen, they had finally arrived at the Konoha Hospital.

Just as everyone thought they were finally fine and were beginning to let out a sigh of relief, they realized they had relaxed too soon…

Chapter 112: The List

Bruce had given Sean seven small parchment slips. On the back of each, in Bruce's surprisingly neat script, was written: A friend of Green's is a friend of ours. Happy to help.

Justin and Neville were still buzzing with excitement in the hidden classroom, poring over the order forms and debating potential purchases.

"Oh, Hermione, guess what Sean got from the greenhouses?" Justin called out, grinning at Hermione, who was attempting ...

Chapter 111: Hogsmeade Weekend

Chapter 111: Hogsmeade Weekend

On the lawn behind the castle, three small figures in thick cloaks once again braved the elements. They paid no heed to the rumble of thunder overhead, the howl of the wind battering the castle walls, or the sharp crack of branches snapping in the Forbidden Forest. In a few hours, they would be inside the greenhouses, safe from the storm, but for now, they pressed on.

Their spirits were high. They walked with purpose, chatting and laugh...

Chapter 126: Roy's Nen Beast x The Three-Legged Golden Crow

Specks of light materialized, coalesced into the form of the training blade, and re-hung themselves on the south wall.

Giyu Tomioka and Sakonji Urokodaki, not yet asleep, got up and lit the oil lamp to get a closer look. Sakonji rubbed the blade and said, "It's Eiichiro's training blade, alright."

Everyone stared at each other, speechless. A sword that "travels" on its own... just like Eiichiro, com...

"A ghost!" Shinsuke shrieked, who had been perched on the rafters. Hearing the noise and looking down, he scrambled behind Fukuda.

A ghost yelling 'ghost'... Who the hell are you talking about! Fukuda grabbed Shinsuke by the neck, and with a sickening krnch, twisted it. The room instantly fell silent.

"It wasn't a ghost." Sakonji Urokodaki, second only to Tanjiro in sensory-m, possessed an...

Chapter 51: The Battle of Cadia (Part 3)

The presence of loyalist Astartes on this ship changed the entire tactical situation.

Petros's orders were immediate. "Thor," he voxed, "your objective is unchanged. Seize the Enginarium or destroy it. If you meet heavy resistance, call in Third Squad for reinforcement."

The objective remained the same. A ship's core is its bridge and its engine. But the plan, as always, was shattered on contact with the enemy. He...

Chapter 50: The Battle of Cadia (Part 2)

Chapter 50: The Battle of Cadia (Part 2)

Though the Vengeful Spirit was the spearhead of the attack, it was not undefended. Five escort squadrons, frigates, and cruisers shielded it on all axes, ready to absorb incoming fire with their void shields or their own hulls.

In a void battle, numbers and firepower are key, but formation is everything. An uncoordinated attack, even with superior numbers, will fail. This was especially true in a mass-boarding action where a s...

Chapter 74: Dealing With the Annoyance

Joric was perfectly clear on the value of the technology he possessed, and he fully understood the corporations' hunger for it.

Although his knowledge far surpassed this era—and he could, if he wished, construct weapons capable of annihilating the entire city—his current, critical deficiency was in time and resources, not destructive capability.

In truth, if he could just stabilize the dimensional conduit to the...

Chapter 73: The Joric Doctrine

Although this "Ruststalker-pattern" prototype was, in Joric's eyes, a creation full of compromises and flaws—far from the perfect state of a standard Mechanicus assassin—it was undeniable that, compared to the poorly integrated, high-risk Militech experiment she had been, Moiré's capabilities had undergone a quantum leap.

The most significant improvement was her nervous system.

The Mechanicus-standard neural-webbing Jo...

"The String-String Fruit?"

The officers on deck were surprised, their gazes instinctively turning to their captain. If they remembered correctly, wasn't the previous owner of this fruit, that arrogant Warlord, killed by their captain?

In the corner, Law, who had just finished his medical duties and was resting against the railing, stiffened and his eyes snapped open.

Shane was also a little surprised. "The Str...

Chapter 299: A Bountiful Harvest, a Weapon's Evolution!

The sun slowly set, casting an orange glow across the deck of the flagship. The officers gathered in a circle, looking with interest at the prizes from the hunting tournament displayed on the long table in the center.

There were four items in total. An ice-blue longsword with a scabbard covered in cherry blossom patterns, and three crystal boxes, each containing a strangely shaped Devil Fruit resting on a purple...
