Honkai: Star Rail – From the Moment Tom Cat Became My Passenger [70]

BOOM—!!!

An earth-shattering explosion rocked the entire Divine Foresight, unleashing waves of energy that rippled across the Xianzhou Luofu.

Tom stood stunned, his head blackened by the blast, a single curled strand of fur sticking straight up.

He coughed out a puff of soot-laden smoke, inadvertently blowing onto a cracked support pillar.

CRACK!

The pillar promptly gave way, toppling directly toward Tom, who sprinted frantically—but not fas...

Hearing the commotion, Yevenko and the others immediately rushed toward the source.

Several Mara-stricken Cloud Knights had surrounded three individuals. Yevenko glanced quickly at Tom, who shook his head vigorously in response.

Yevenko understood instantly.

Tom could only save those recently afflicted by Mara. If the affliction persisted for too long, the victim's soul wouldn't just be corrupted—it would vanish entirely.

Even Tom couldn’t save someone whose soul h...

Yevenko and the others stepped out from the Astral Express onto the Xianzhou Luofu.

However, they'd landed at the opposite end from Feixiao’s group.

The scene here was far more tragic. Due to Jerry's escapades, the Cloud Knights had uncovered numerous schemes by the hidden Emanator. Though somewhat prepared, they'd failed to prevent catastrophic damage due to the concurrent Stellaron outbreak.

The area was deathly quiet, filled with countless cargo containers, eerie and un...

On the outskirts of the Xianzhou Luofu, inside a medium-sized Starskiff—

A silver-haired fox-woman sat lazily upon a chair, her rounded hips pressing tightly against the leather seat, accentuating their lush curvature. Her long silver ponytail faded elegantly into emerald tips, and though her figure was voluptuous—accentuated perfectly by the fitted navy vest hugging her ample chest and toned abdomen—she radiated a striking aura of heroic strength rather than mere sensuality.

Click! Click! Click!—

Yevenko held March 7th's camera, furiously snapping photos of Blade’s hologram from every angle.

Kafka watched silently for a moment before turning to Silver Wolf, pointing at the three prominent bumps on Blade’s head.

“Is this really how Blade looks right now?” she asked calmly. "Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?"

Silver Wolf blew a pink bubble, letting it pop loudly before smoothly pulling it back into her mouth. Her s...

Arknights: I Became a Mobile City, but It’s a Lobotomy City [105]

Meanwhile, in Kazdel, within the Military Council’s office, Heal, Theresa, and Theresis sat down to share a traditional Sarkaz dinner.

“How are things looking with the three-nation coalition lately?” Theresis set down his chopsticks halfway through the meal, directing his question at Theresa.

“They're still attempting to assassinate me... If they could keep at it like this, that would actually be quite helpful.”

“Unrealistic, Theresa. We should start preparing so...

Theresa’s assumptions weren't wrong.

But rather than assumptions, it might be better to say that Theresa’s judgment was correct from the beginning.

When Kazdel's twin rulers decided on peace negotiations, it was inevitable that external forces would intervene.

This was easy enough to understand. Other nations had always preferred to see Kazdel locked in perpetual civil war, too busy fighting among themselves, or ending in mutual destruction, leaving only a crippled victo...

Initially, Duq'arael was furious.

After all, at the end of the day, Theresis had undeniably "betrayed" him. Duq'arael had even considered immediately storming Theresis’s office and demanding an explanation for everything that had transpired.

Moreover, the sudden announcement of peace was no trivial matter. For the radical Duq'arael, this was deeply unsatisfying.

Thus, the instant he saw the twin rulers declare peace, Duq'arael nearly charged over, intending to confront The...

Theresa stared at the unfamiliar name revealed by her investigation, twirling a lock of her hair thoughtfully.

Suo?

What a strange name…

And yet…

Is he the one who single-handedly quelled the potential crisis among Kazdel's lower classes?

Studying Suo’s detailed profile, a quiet thought crossed Theresa’s mind.

From the looks of things, there was probably no need to worry further about Kazdel’s lower-class populace. The Index had ...

When Theresa and Theresis stepped onto the stage simultaneously, everyone stared in astonishment.

Though recent events had made this scene foreseeable to many, witnessing it unfold in reality was still deeply shocking.

Especially for Kazdel.

Everyone waited uneasily for the two leaders to speak… When, finally, Theresa and Theresis declared with undeniable passion and authority that the war had ended, Kazdel was first swept by disbelief.

The war is over?

Restricted-Class Shinigami [85]

In the tea room, the two sat opposite each other quietly.

After Unohana had clearly seen through Nobu’s carefully hidden intentions, a delicate, ambiguous tension lingered between them.

Unohana gently raised her tea bowl, taking a graceful sip without speaking. Nobu, after some contemplation, finally asked, "Since you've already seen through my deception, how do you intend to deal with me?"

"Deal with you?" Unohana repeated softly, a faint smile on her lips. "You graduated...

Kotetsu Isane, though clearly Nobu’s senior, deeply admired everything he had accomplished at Shin'ō Academy. To her, a student who had achieved so much was truly remarkable.

Thus, she wasted no time in relaying Nobu’s suggestions directly to Captain Unohana.

"All of this is his idea?" Unohana seemed mildly surprised after hearing Isane’s report.

Kotetsu replied cautiously, "Yes, I thought many of his points were worth considering."

Unohana gently smiled. "I did...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [83]

Members of the Fourth Division rarely placed much value on increasing their own combat prowess, instead focusing solely on improving their skill in Kaidō and medical techniques.

Because of this, their barracks housed only two training halls. Additionally, since many members were unwilling transfers who didn’t intend to remain long-term, they often used their spare time for personal training, hoping for a future transfer.

As a result, finding a quiet place for Nobu to train priv...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [82]

In a town within the human world—

Kotani, a Thirteenth Division Shinigami stationed here, was desperately engaged with two unusually large Hollows.

These Hollows were too strong for him alone. Though he had already sent for reinforcements from Soul Society, dodging their attacks had left him badly injured.

Initially, Kotani had tried leading them away from the populated town, but soon realized that, without the buildings for cover, his odds of survival would plunge even lo...

The so-called Zanpakutō evaluation was nothing more than openly demonstrating one's Zanpakutō abilities before the seated officers of the Fourth Division.

Following Kotetsu-fukutaichō, Nobu entered the infirmary and found Captain Unohana Retsu already present, quietly examining an injured Shinigami.

“Captain, Nobu-kun is here,” Kotetsu Isane announced softly.

Unohana turned slightly, regarding Nobu warmly. “Your timing is perfect.”

Nobu stepped forward.

Hu Tao Is Monetizing My Existence. [265]

“You’re the reason Rex Lapis is dead—I’m certain of it!” Jiang Bai’s voice was resolute.

Zhongli fell silent.

In a sense, Jiang Bai wasn’t entirely wrong.

Aether and Paimon stood stunned, completely caught off guard by this sudden accusation.

This is definitely not how we thought things would go.
And why is Jiang Bai blaming Mr. Zhongli?

They glanced at Zhongli, waiting curiously for his answer.

“What makes you say that?...

As Hu Tao led the group upward, she explained along the way, “The Rite of Descension is held at Yujing Terrace, the highest point in Liyue Harbor. Anyone can watch, but since the ceremony is quite tedious and dull, most locals don’t bother going.”

“Oh, really? I thought it’d be really lively, with lots of yummy snacks…” Paimon said, clearly disappointed.

Jiang Bai reached over and flicked her forehead. “Are you dumb? The Rite is a solemn event—why would there be ...

After returning to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Jiang Bai casually dragged Hu Tao toward Zhongli’s courtyard.

He wanted to check if Zhongli was home, especially on such a crucial day before the Rite of Descension.

If Zhongli was missing, Jiang Bai was eighty percent sure that he was off plotting something.

Just as he'd expected, Zhongli wasn't there.

“Weird, I wonder where Zhongli-sensei went?” Jiang Bai murmured, feigning curiosity.

Hu Tao shrugged. “Oh, Mr...

Aether suddenly realized why Jiang Bai was so quick to treat others like old friends—he and this funeral parlor director were practically cast from the same mold.

“So you're the director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Jiang Bai mentioned you to me,” Aether said awkwardly, gently freeing his hand from Hu Tao’s eager grasp.

“Really? And what exactly did he say?” Hu Tao casually plopped down beside them, clearly expecting to hear some glowing praise about herself from her t...

After several days out in the wild, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao returned to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor just one day before the Rite of Descension.

Although Jiang Bai had vowed never to attend the ceremony again after last year's chaos, considering the Fatui's potential schemes, he and Hu Tao decided they'd better attend. If something were to happen, they'd at least be among the first to know.

At around the same time, Aether and Paimon arrived in Liyue Harbor. After marveling at the city's ...

“Yingzhu’s communication vanished five hours ago...” Yunqing spoke, her heart heavy with worry.

However, upon entering the room, she abruptly swallowed the rest of her words.

Nokiribi was sneaking around awkwardly, and Yunqing glimpsed something oddly familiar. If she wasn’t mistaken, it was the wafer roll she had brought earlier.

But wait, hadn’t it been eaten already?

Where did Nokiribi manage to find more?

“So, this is how you treat your so-called honored guest?”

Robin was now confined within a laser-isolated cell.

Outside, a computer terminal operated automatically despite the lack of anyone physically controlling it. Lines of code appeared continuously on the screen, though a thin layer of dust on the keyboard hinted at how long it had been since human hands had touched it. The eerie sight was disquieting.

At Xiyi's shout, all eyes turned to the figure at the corner.

As darkness enveloped the city, the silvery glow of the artificial moon spilled gently down from above.

A figure with fiery red hair, clad in armored pauldrons and wielding a spear, darted swiftly between buildings.

Soon enough, he arrived at what had once been the most critical location on the planet—

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [70]

Amidst the deafening cheers, Special Week’s voice naturally joined the chorus.

“Fantastic! Kita-chan, you're incredible! First place! Three wins in a row! You did amazing, Kita-chan!”

Jumping up and down incoherently, not caring whether the black-haired girl raising her arms triumphantly on the track could see her, Special Week waved her hands wildly.

“Hey—Kita-chan!—I saw the whole thing!—It was such an awesome race!”

At the very instant Special Week spoke, Yasui Makoto’s attention immediately shifted toward the racetrack across from the stands.

Exactly as the Uma Musume had observed, the black-haired girl on the far straight visibly increased her pace.

Simultaneously, Yasui swiftly glanced at the trackside timer.

1200 meters in 1 minute, 14.6 seconds… That’s nearly 0.98 m/s faster over the last 200 meters.

Excellent pacing—exactly as planned.
