Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [81]

Amidst the emptiness of space, Hoshigaki Sora moved like a pale reaper.

Wherever he passed, swarms of True Sting met instantaneous death.

The crimson blade in his hand swung like a sickle harvesting lives, creating a brilliant neon curtain against the darkness.

Within that luminous veil, the True Sting fell one after another, wilting like fragile petals. Yet, undaunted, they continued their relentless charge toward Sora’s location.

For Sora, however, this battle prov...

Honkai: Star Rail – From the Moment Tom Cat Became My Passenger [60]

Gilded golden light of Preservation erupted violently from beneath the shadows of Nihility, endlessly surging. The Astral Express, buried beneath suffocating darkness, once again emerged, cloaked in a radiant barrier, stubbornly resisting Nihility’s encroachment.

It pressed ever forward, inching closer to the Aeon of Nihility.

But unlike Aha’s earlier playful push forward, Preservation only protected the Express, providing no extra propulsion. The train relied solely on its or...

The instant the Fool’s mask appeared, combined with the words it had just spoken, Yevenko’s mind completely froze.

Even without thinking, he knew this Fool’s mask was definitely Aha—the Aeon of Elation!

IX alone was already headache enough; why had another Aeon suddenly appeared?!

They say wherever there’s entertainment, Aha appears, but how could my struggle against IX be entertainment…?

…Okay. Considering I’m just a Trailblazer going up again...

The Astral Express barreled headlong toward the Aeon of Nihility!

As it drew closer, Nihility’s shadow thickened like a parasitic mist, saturating every inch of space, closing around the train until there was nowhere left to run.

To Yevenko, it felt as though the universe itself was now just a shadow cast by IX—no refuge, nowhere left to hide.

But a Trailblazer never retreats. A Trailblazer cuts through every obstacle, pushing relentlessly toward the unknown.

Raiden Mei wove swiftly through the humanoid shadows, each graceful dash leaving a dissolving figure in her wake.

She was stronger now than she had ever been—this was her peak.

Every strike ignited the blood-red glow of her blade, each flash brighter than the last.

Finally, she stood before Owari itself.

Without hesitation, she unleashed the crimson blade energy she'd accumulated throughout her journey.

BOOM—!!

A brilliant scarlet radiance surg...

As the tall, swollen pink lump burst through the bucket, black smoke seeped from the hole and quickly dispersed into the air.

The bucket sank slightly—clearly, the humanoid shadow within was already dead.

Tom calmly taped a white “X” over the hole with a piece of adhesive tape before smoothly stowing the bucket behind his back.

Now that the battle was over—and after having spent enough time alongside Yevenko and Tom—Raiden Mei finally felt comfortable voicing the c...

Arknights: I Became a Mobile City, but It’s a Lobotomy City [90]

“Think about it. Kazdel is the closest place to The City right now, isn’t it?”

Facing Nearl, Don Quixote counted thoughtfully on his fingers.

“So, how about we start our legendary knightly adventure there?”

“You’re always so casual… Well, I suppose that suits your style.”

Nearl shook her head in mild disbelief, idly maintaining her spear as she muttered this comment. Then she sighed, resigned.

After all, once Don Quixote had set his mind to some...

Obsidian stared intently at the [ID Card] in his hand, reflecting quietly.

In fact, when Theresa had joined him in viewing that possibility, he'd concealed something from her.

Because, in truth, The City had been involved in that alternate reality.

Granted, the involvement had been minimal, limited only to a tiny fragment of The City—but what Obsidian found deeply astonishing was that, in that possible future, The City had existed as a fully reali...

Soon afterward, Theresa returned to Babel Tower with W and Kal'tsit in tow.

They certainly had their own duties waiting for them—honestly, spending so much time loitering around The City could already be counted as excessive truancy.

As for Obsidian… he felt no rush regarding his promise of assistance to Kazdel.

It would likely be some time yet before Theresa truly required his help. For now, he needed to focus on sorting out affairs within The City itself.

After considering this alternate timeline for a moment, Obsidian casually tossed an [Identity Extraction Ticket] into [The Well], curious about the outcome.

He had an excess of these tickets anyway. Throwing one in wouldn’t hurt.

I wonder if I can pull any useful [Identities] from this possibility?

Pondering to himself with mild anticipation, Obsidian focused on the possibility unfolding inside [Th...

After Theresa finished speaking, she looked intently at Obsidian, whose expression remained composed as he gazed back at her.

“The City’s current population is small, and it's temporarily anchored near Kazdel. Surely, Kazdel’s civil war is hindering The City's growth, isn't it?”

Theresa articulated her thoughts carefully, trying to clearly present the logic she’d convinced herself of:

“If that’s the case, then I imagine The City would prefer Kazdel’s civil wa...

"I feel like I've seen those three somewhere before…" Walking along the road, Gary suddenly spoke up, as if struck by realization. "Aren't they those three weirdos always following Ash around?"

"Code name: Black No. 2?"

August was certainly familiar with that name—both before and after joining the International Police.

Even before his own entry into the organization, Black No. 2 had been hailed as the youngest genius ever promoted to Inspector level. Although August later broke his record for the fastest promotion, Black remained one of their top elite agents.

"When does he arrive?" August asked.

Unova’s starter trio: Oshawott, Tepig, and Snivy.

"Did I happen to arrive on Starter Pokémon distribution day?" August remarked.

"August!"

Ash stared at August, surprised and slightly confused.

Hadn't August mentioned staying in Castelia City for a while? Why did he suddenly show up in Nuvema Town...?

Professor Oak was clearly thinking more deeply. He knew August had come to Unova to deal with Team Plasma. Now, with August here… Did Team Plasma ...

"This is the guy you said was stalking you?" August asked, eyeing the unconscious figure skeptically.

Although the man was knocked out cold, August's intuition as an International Police officer immediately raised doubts—no matter how he looked at it, this guy didn...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [60]

Esdeath never concealed her true nature from her subordinates. Compared to insincere smiles, she always preferred to face everyone with blunt honesty.

Whether in daily life or on the battlefield, Esdeath was someone who spoke frankly and acted decisively. Even when confronting the powerful ministers of the Empire, she never minced words.

She didn’t particularly care about the Empire’s eventual fate; as long as it existed and continued to give her what she desired, that was eno...

Tiny snowflakes drifted gently from the sky, softly falling upon Shirou’s path as he walked toward Esdeath’s location.

All the imperial soldiers had long since changed into thick coats to adapt to the freezing weather. While heavy clothing would have only hindered them during battle, now that the fighting was over, warmth became their priority.

Shirou even noticed two soldiers sitting on the steps, each holding a steaming bowl of soup, sipping slowly with smiles unconsciously ...

Shirou had long since grown accustomed to waking up in strange places after losing consciousness due to various situations.

So much so that he didn’t even bother complaining about yet another unfamiliar ceiling above him.

It’s not as if I’ve ever woken up to a familiar one.

Well, except at home.

He’d also gotten used to quickly checking his own condition whenever this happened.

His hands and legs were carefully wrapped in ban...

Esdeath’s expression gradually filled with excitement as she observed the young man before her. Despite clearly being pushed to his limits, Shirou had not shown even the slightest sign of surrender from beginning to end.

The azure frost around her intensified sharply.

Aside from her exceptional combat skills and incredible physical prowess, Esdeath, known as the Empire’s strongest warrior, wielded something even more terrifying—the Teigu called [Demon's Extract: Demo...

“How fascinating.”

Esdeath spoke casually, looking at Numa Seika’s utterly bewildered face. A genuinely delighted smile slowly spread across her lips as she leisurely raised the slender sword in her hand.

An icy, azure mist rapidly surged across her blade, enveloping it entirely and spiraling upward into the sky.

“Kill—!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the first rays of dawn, war drums thundered fiercely from both sides, signaling tens of thousands of soldiers to collide violently once again, tearing into each other with primal ferocity.

In a battle where hundreds of thousands clashed, the few hundred Shirou had killed the previous day were merely a drop in the ocean—utterly insignificant.

Every second, hundreds, even thousands, died on this battlefield. Shirou’s per...

Night had descended once more.

In this place, there were no demons who saw humans as mere fodder, no bustling streets filled with life—only that blood-soaked moon hanging silently in the sky.

After battling through the entire day, both sides seemed to reach an unspoken agreement to retreat.

Night was not their chosen time for war.

But Shirou, who belonged to neither side, remained alone on the battlefield.

Beneath his feet lay mountains of corpses, while Shirou...

The flash of a silver blade filled Shirou’s vision the instant he stepped through the door.

There was no hesitation, no mercy—only the pure intent to sever his head in one swift stroke.

"Haa—"

Hot breath exhaled rhythmically from Shirou's mouth.

As the blade was mere inches from his throat, his knees buckled forward, his body following gravity backward, head swiftly arching upward.

Swish!

The silver edge swept harmlessly past his eyes.

Before Shirou could even request a private word with Shinji, Matou Zouken raised his hand and made his intention clear.

Shinji sprang from his seat, anxious to protest.

Finally, just as twilight was coming to an end, Emiya Shirou managed to leave Fuji-nee's office with considerable difficulty.

Initially, Fujimura Taiga had intended to go home together with Shirou.

After all, it had been two whole months since she’d eaten Shirou’s cooking—she'd practically wasted away from hunger!

Now, seeing Shirou alive and well, she couldn’t resist the urge to freeload at his house for dinner.

But after hearing Shirou mention that he planned...

Darkness. Endless darkness.

Emiya found himself submerged in an infinite expanse of black.

He had no idea where he was, nor what existed around him.

The impenetrable darkness rendered him blind to everything.

I suppose... I'm already dead.
