At a certain restaurant.
The Yukinoshita sisters sat opposite each other, with Hiratsuka Shizuka next to them, boredom written all over her face.
“Alright, he replied. He said he'll be here soon.”
Holding her phone, Yukinoshita Haruno looked very satisfied.
“How did you get his contact info?” Yukinoshita Yukino's face darkened slightly. She had once again been forcibly dragged here by her sister today.
What annoyed her the most was that, even after all th...

After returning home, Shirase picked up his phone to check messages. Kojima Kana hadn’t sent anything, meaning Kirisu Mafuyu-sensei’s cockroach dungeon hadn't respawned yet.
In other words, that beautiful teacher was still holding the line.
Feeling relieved, Shirase opened the system interface, ready for another round of [Free Hosting].

“We meet again at last!”
Under Isshiki Iroha’s bewildered gaze, Takanashi Rikka swaggered toward them.
And it was literally swaggering—her arms and legs swung dramatically with every step.
“Your friend?” Isshiki Iroha couldn’t help but turn to Shirase beside her, eyes carrying the look one reserved for encountering rare animals.
“Do you remember what I told you earlier?” Shirase said lightly. “No matter what you see or hear, don’t ask.”

Drip… drip…
In the dim cavern, water fell now and then, the echoes trailing off into the dark.
Root’s base was a ruin—gouged walls, scorched floors, and the sticky reek of blood everywhere.
Even Orochimaru couldn’t wipe out Root without spilling plenty of it.
Namikaze Minato followed him into a chamber lined with towering glass cylinders—the kind an Ultraman alien might use to turn heroes into statues.
Each cylinder brimmed with green liquid....

“Why is it you again?”
If not for the fact that he currently lived in the Naruto universe, where everyone inexplicably spoke Japanese, Minato would’ve greeted the grinning redhead before him with his finest construction-site English.
Fortunately, the girl had grown a little smarter—at least now she was showing up during working hours. As long as she didn’t intrude on his precious after-work time, Minato was still willing to perform his Hokage duties diligently.

After delivering the letter, Shisui noticed Hokage-sama’s expression shift from calm to visibly unsettled.
He hadn’t read the letter, but judging from that reaction, it must have contained something extremely important.
Naturally—any correspondence between the Uchiha Clan Leader and the Hokage would never be trivial.
Fugaku-sama had even instructed him not to show the letter to anyone else. Clearly, it concerned matters that could affect the relationship between the Uc...

After finishing his homemade breakfast, Namikaze Minato arrived at the Hokage Tower.
Seeing that half the mountain of paperwork on his desk had already been cleared, his mood brightened considerably.
An aide like Orochimaru was truly invaluable.
He had, in fact, kept his word and spent the entire night sorting through documents. That alone placed him far above those two undead relics, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō.
Unfortunately, Minato’s good mood didn’t las...

Night.
From the Senju compound came a steady rhythm of loud smacks, mixed with a girl’s furious voice.
“Come loose already!”
“Dammit, why won’t this stupid thing loosen?!”
Kushina had slapped her belly bright red, but the new seal refused to budge.
In the field of fūinjutsu, Kushina—with her Uzumaki lineage—stood unmatched in the shinobi world.
And yet, faced with the seal on her own body, she was completely powerless.

Time passed swiftly.
Uruk now stood alone—the last surviving city-state in the region, and the most prosperous city in all Mesopotamia.
Its army had undergone the most exacting training, outfitted entirely with mass-produced weapons from Ophis’s own treasury. Though none reached the rank of Noble Phantasms, they were extravagant beyond measure for mere standard issue.
The city’s layout was flawless, every district organized with precision. Bountiful harvests and boomin...

“Gods… sealed?”
Only after Ishtar’s light had vanished did Ophis finally have time to process the goddess’s parting words.
The Age of Gods… ended just like that? Quietly, without a single echo?
No curtain call. No divine judgment on the humans who had forsaken them.
…No. That couldn’t be right. Retribution must simply not have begun yet.

The tranquility of Uruk’s morning was abruptly shattered by a deafening explosion.
Yet, the citizens of Uruk—including the soldiers—reacted with familiar indifference. They continued their daily routines, at most muttering something like “there she goes again.”
At this moment, the central section of the royal palace—the heart of Uruk’s authority—had become nothing more than rubble.

Just as Ophis neared the palace gates, a surge of energy tore through the air—and in the next instant, she was engulfed in a blinding beam of blue light.
The deafening blast that followed threw the city into chaos. Soldiers scrambled toward the source, armor clattering as they surrounded the impact site.
“My king! What happened?!”

Her calm, detached voice echoed from within the fading dust. The guards hesitated, then reluctantly obeyed, retreating wi...

With a thunderous roar, the hastily built stone walls shattered under a barrage of magical cannon fire.
Hundreds of soldiers in ornate, anachronistic armor surged through the breach, swiftly crushing what little resistance remained.

Ophis kicked aside the trembling city lord sprawled on the ground and swept her gaze calmly across the ruins.

Standing atop the highest point of the palace, Ophis quietly gazed down at Uruk below, her thoughts adrift.
Enkidu’s death had been her own choice—but it was also something fated.
If I had truly given everything… could I have helped Enkidu defy that fate?
She didn’t know. Perhaps failure would have been more likely—but there had, without doubt, been a chance. And yet, knowing this, Ophis had never truly tried.
Excuses like “Enkidu’s life will...

Such unexpected words—completely unrelated to the conversation before—left even Ophis momentarily speechless.
She closed her eyes softly.
For a while, the air grew still.
Only after a long silence did Ophis open her eyes again and meet Enkidu’s gaze.
Then, so suddenly that even Enkidu couldn’t have foreseen it, Ophis smiled.
It was the first time Enkidu had ever seen her smile.
In fact, it was the very first smile since Ophis’s birth.

"Enkidu, should we go back first?"
Right now, Ophis had no interest in meddling with the affairs of gods. She only looked at Enkidu with concern and was about to pull her back toward Uruk—but Enkidu held her hand instead.
Even though Enkidu had almost no strength left, Ophis still stopped.
"No, let’s stay here."
From the hill overlooking Uruk, Enkidu spoke softly, tinged with melancholy.
"Rather than returning to that palace—beautiful but meaningless—I’...

Slaying the Bull of Heaven wasn’t particularly difficult.
They possessed weapons capable of piercing its defenses, and the creature’s technique and intelligence were laughably poor. Under such conditions, raw power alone couldn’t bridge the gap—once they seized the right moment, victory came easily.
Not to mention, the Chains of Heaven were practically made for restraining the Bull.
For Ophis and Enkidu, the Bull itself had never been the real problem. The t...

Walking through the streets of Uruk, Ophis returned the greetings of the citizens who bowed as she passed.
Though the city was heavy with unease after one disaster upon another, most faces still turned toward her with quiet trust.
The resilience of humanity in this era is truly remarkable.
Then again, in an age where gods hurled calamities at mortals just to remind them of divine power, anyone with a weaker mind would have long since turned bitter—or monstrous.

Honestly speaking, Obsidian himself had no idea what kind of new changes this item would bring to the City.
When he first saw it, his immediate reaction was simply, "Things are about to get a whole lot more interesting…"

There wasn’t enough time.
Hugh silently mulled this over.
For T Corp, still barely starting out, this was undeniably a fatal problem.
There was simply too little time… one might even say, nowhere near enough.
Currently, T Corp’s time supply came from two main sources. The first was those embryos from K Corp’s underground...

A shard of ice slammed directly into Lucario’s back, sending it staggering forward.
But that was just the start. Immediately, more shards rained down like a fierce hailstorm, bombarding Lucario relentlessly. Even its Steel-type defenses couldn't stop the pained expression spreading across its face.
