Chapter 119: Gifts

In an atmosphere of almost prayerful anticipation, Hallowe'en finally arrived. The castle buzzed with excitement, students eagerly awaiting the famously spectacular decorations and feast. Gifts were exchanged, sweets shared, and the Room of Hope was no exception.

"Well, Sean, nice of you to finally surface," Justin teased. Sean had just entered the room, completely obscured by an enormous cloud of levitating candy boxes.

Sean calmly di...

Chapter 118: The Note Collection

The Disillusionment Charm would ensure he wasn't seen. His practical combat skills would ensure he could intervene if necessary. But if Voldemort himself decided to show up and go on a rampage, Sean fully intended to be as far away as possible.

Fortunately, that scenario was highly unlikely. It would require Dumbledore to somehow allow Voldemort to sneak out. The chances of that were even lower than Sean winning a one-on-one duel with...

Chapter 129: Maha Defends His Grandson x Kanzai Appears

"What's the date today?"

At the Zoldyck family estate on Kukuroo Mountain, in the dimly lit small room near the garden, Maha rocked in his chair, enjoying a massage. Zeno was away, so the "technician" had been swapped out for Tsubone. Silva had offered to come personally a few days ago, but the old man had shut him down with a "Go take care of your wife." Kikyo's belly was growing by the day; if anything happened to her, she'...

Chapter 128: Riverside Race X Heartbeat Fist Listen

The old man had long, drooping earlobes. He produced a volleyball from somewhere. "Young man," he said, "care to play a game with this old man?"

Thump... thump... The old man dribbled the volleyball like a basketball. One look and you could tell he'd been practicing for more than just a couple of years.

Roy, who had paused, simply started running again, not bothering to pay him any mind. He jogged right...

Chapter 57: Trust Shattered

Petros forcibly ignored the misplaced, bootlicking compliment. "We are on a priority military operation," he continued, his voice cold. "I need to requisition your system's defense fleet. What are your naval assets?"

Port-Master Edmon's face fell. "My Lord, we have none. The entire Calth-Loth battlefleet was redeployed to the Cadian Gate. All we have in-dock are a few system freighters undergoing resupply."

"A pity," Petros si...

Chapter 56: The Angels' Arrival

As the first rays of the star Calth-Loth pierced the transparent dome of the orbital port, Port-Master Edmon began his day.

He sat in his grox-hide command chair, his crisp uniform immaculate, the Imperial Aquila gleaming on his breast. It was the symbol of his authority. His female adept had already prepared a pot of fine recaff.

It was a rare blend, he'd been told, from a distant agri-world. The beans were supposedly... ...

Chapter 80: Joric's Stance

Deep in the desert sanctum, the cold, constant light illuminated Joric's tall, crimson form. He had received and processed Moiré's full report of her contact with the Militech "Probe" team.

Their intent was clear: having confirmed the credibility of his threat, they were now attempting to escalate the situation from a simple payment of reparations to a "constructive dialogue," one that might lead to a technological exchange.

Chapter 79: The Parley

The decision was made, and the high-efficiency execution protocol engaged immediately.

Within hours, a lean, specialized team codenamed "Probe" was assembled. The team lead was Dr. Mela Sorenson, a woman in her forties who held doctorates in advanced materials science and possessed extensive experience in external technology negotiations. She was known for her calm, pragmatic demeanor and her keen grasp of counter-party psychology. Her second w...

Sengoku was taken to the headquarters hospital.

"…"

Akainu stood in place, silently watching the stretcher disappear, then looked out at the chaotic port. For the first time, a hint of confusion and weariness appeared on his scarred face.

"Sakazuki…" Kizaru, not noticing his expression, rubbed his temples. "It's come to this. The Marines… are probably facing an unprecedented crisis."

Mor...

Chapter 305: An Admiral Departs, Sengoku Collapses

Hiss~

The temperature in the conference room instantly polarized. The tall figures of the two Admirals stood as a dividing line. On the left, the officers were blue in the face, shivering from the cold. On the right, they were drenched in sweat from the oppressive heat.

"Are you sure you want to do this here, Sakazuki?" Aokiji said, still not turning around, his hands in his pockets. "You know you can't ...

Chapter 316: Intel on Ashkule

"That kid saw me, so why did he run off without saying hello? Strange."

Adil had also noticed Alim's odd behavior, but like Basalt, he didn't give it much thought, just grumbling about it inwardly. With the Tribal Gathering just around the corner, he had too much on his plate.

"Bro, why do you care about him? A guy like Alim just makes me sick."

Reya affectionately linked her arm with Adil's, pouting. "Bro, my G...

Chapter 315: Advising Amuyar

Waking up late the next afternoon yet again, Basalt was greeted by the familiar sound of "Tsk tsk." Reya's face clearly said, You lightweight.

Basalt's face flushed. He'd been looked down on again.

"I'm never drinking again," Basalt swore to himself, then quickly amended it. "Even if I do, I'm never drinking with the Roba people again."

After splashing some water on his face and getting dressed, Basalt had just s...

Chapter 308: A-Rank Mission: [Old Man Madara]!

Using Yin Release chakra as the source, crimson-purple lightning flashed out from the void. The interior of the Mountain Graveyard immediately echoed with a low, deep rumble of thunder.

This no-seal Yin Release ninjutsu, self-created by Old Man Madara, produced an extremely flashy attack effect the moment it appeared.

The crimson-purple lightning, like flourishing branches, swept powerfully toward the shadow...

Chapter 307: The Remnant of the Warring States Period!

The supersonic pitch-black shadow bullet blasted through the air, creating visible white vapor rings. In an instant, it arrived in front of Old Man Madara and White Zetsu Tobi.

White Zetsu Tobi, who had already prepared his defenses under Old Man Madara's orders, immediately clasped his hands together, attempting to use a Wood Release defensive jutsu to block the menacing black shadow bullet.

However...

"I believe the Primarchs will surely have a way to solve your problem."

In the sanctum, filled with the scent of incense and holy oil, the flickering candlelight made the golden reliquary of the saint's remains shine brightly.

Draigo knelt on one knee, his fingers deftly adjusting the power armour's interface on Hyperion. As a special force created personally by the Emperor and Malcador the Sigillite, the Grey Knights...

Segmentum Obscurus, Armageddon, Mandeville Point, Strike Cruiser Relentless.

"Haaa—"

The moment the Relentless transitioned from the void, Brother-Captain Hyperion of the Grey Knights' 3rd Brotherhood, the 'Warders of the Ordos,' awoke from his meditation, a look of pain on his face.

His companion, Kaldor Draigo, who had been with him since leaving Terra, immediately grew tense. "What is it?" Drai...

Chapter 117: The Hallowe'en Plan

For the next several days, Sean was completely focused on a plan for one specific event: the upcoming Hallowe'en feast.

Early in the morning, the delicious, sweet scent of roasted pumpkin already wafted through the corridors. He looked out the stained-glass window. The Quidditch pitch looked vast and empty under the grey sky. A particularly large figure was crossing the yellowed lawn like a small, moving mountain. He was hugging a gia...

Chapter 116: Magical Transfiguration

October was nearly over, swept away by wind and rain. November was approaching, and Hogwarts castle felt as cold as forged iron. A hard frost coated the grounds each morning, and the icy wind cut at exposed hands and faces. The sky, and the enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall, had settled into a permanent, pale slate-grey. The mountains surrounding the school wore caps of snow, and the temperature inside the castle had dropped so much that man...

Chapter 127: First Meeting with Netero x Sun Breathing Mastery

Shinsuke's excited spittle nearly sprayed Roy in the face. Thankfully, Fukuda-senpai intervened, grabbing his neck and giving it a sharp twist, granting Roy a quiet morning.

The training blade hung silently on the south wall. Giyu Tomioka, Sabito, Makomo, and the others gathered around. Roy glanced at Sakonji Urokodaki; his master was busy in the kitchen as usual. Roy smiled and said, "It came with me int...

"Zoldyck?"

Botobai, his face hidden beneath the Beijing Opera mask, frowned slightly. He snorted, two jets of air streaming from his nostrils. "A pity it's not Silva Zoldyck." He had long heard of the man's name and had even seen him at certain events, but had regrettably never had the chance to cross hands with him.

However... Bean, seeing his straightforward attitude and remembering a certain someone still sipping tea in t...

Chapter 55: Losses and Gains

After two months of hard-burn transit through the Immaterium, Petros was finally satisfied they were safe. The Warp drives of the flotilla whined down as they translated back into the material universe.

The Navigator, his third eye strained and weeping, had used the distant, holy light of the Astronomican to guide them to their destination. A minor error would have cast them into an unknown system, or worse, left them to be devoured by th...

Chapter 54: Time to Bail

The moment Petros returned to the command bridge of his new flagship, The Judgment's Edge, he was given even more explosive news.

Two Chaos warbands were now in an open ship-to-ship duel... over a prize. Just as he had predicted, one warband had seized an Imperial cruiser, only for another, stronger warband to covet it and attack them.

The infighting was spreading. Other ships, either paranoid or opportunistic, were beginning to ...

Chapter 78: Militech and the NUSA

Unlike the emotional firestorm erupting at Biotechnica, the atmosphere within Militech's deeper, more secure Strategic Command Center was one of almost frigid rationality.

The death of Lt. Colonel Karl Strange had, of course, sent a ripple through the Special Projects Division, especially among those who had served with him. But that ripple was quickly subsumed by a larger, more utilitarian strategic analysis.

For Milite...

Chapter 77: Biotechnica's Reaction

The assassination-purge struck the core leadership of both Militech and Biotechnica with direct, severe shock. However, due to the two entities' vastly different corporate cultures and core objectives, the aftershocks propagated through their systems in different ways, ultimately leading to divergent outcomes.

Inside the CEO's office at the apex of the Biotechnica Tower, the air was so heavy it was difficult to breathe.

Chapter 304: A Mass Defection from the Marines!

Among the three Marine Admirals, Akainu undoubtedly had the most terrifying presence. This was not just due to his strength and rank, but also his stern personality and his strict, almost cruel, way of doing things. At Headquarters, he was the one who could always command the most respect!

But this was different. This was a matter of fundamental principle for many of them! It was something that had to be addressed! Ther...

Hearing Karasu's words, the other Revolutionary commanders exchanged bitter smiles and nodded. The gap between them was just too vast.

Dragon remained silent, a drop of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. But as he looked at the world map on the wall, he seemed to come to a realization, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need to sell ourselves short," he said to his office...

Basalt finally woke up, groggy, late the next afternoon.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a face that strongly resembled a certain celebrity, pouring him a glass of water.

"You're awake." Reya smiled. "You must be thirsty after drinking so much. Have some tea, it'll help."

"Thanks." After accepting the cup, Basalt asked curiously, "By the way, where is everyone?"

Logically, he had drunk the least last night....

Adil's home was large, with a small courtyard in front where various fruits and vegetables were growing, giving it a rustic, farmhouse feel.

When they learned guests had arrived, Adil's parents not only prepared a great feast to welcome Basalt, allowing him to taste many of the Roba Tribe's specialty dishes, but they even lit a bonfire in the small courtyard.

Although they were desert people, the Roba Tribe was also a peop...

"Broke..."

White Zetsu Tobi finished his sentence out of sheer inertia.

The blood, brains, and bone fragments from Old Man Madara's exploding skull splattered onto him like muddy rain, staining his pure white body.

The Mountain Graveyard fell deathly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Due to his extremely frail body, Old Man Madara's various physiological functions had severely degraded. Afte...

Land of Iron.

The mountains rose and fell in endless ranges, covered in lush vegetation, showing little sign of large-scale human activity.

Nara Keisuke, like a ghost, drifted silently into this primeval mountain forest. Under the cover of the S-Rank Shadow Invisibility Technique, his movements went undetected by any living creature.
