[Game] Chapter 112: Newcomers Arrives (Images Included)

After Ichin and Utaha’s relationship deepened further, Ichin found himself thinking about her more often, even during class. His daydreaming increased to the point where he nearly missed answering the teacher’s questions on several occasions.

During breaks, a few of his male classmates teased him about his distracted behavior.

After finishing school for the day, Ichin stopped by the supermarket to pick up groceries before hurrying home.

At home, Utaha was already up, sit...

[Konoha] Chapter 330: Sage Emperor Mode!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The art of explosions begins!

As the Iwa-nin who had unwittingly ingested the micro-explosive clay retreated into their ranks, explosions erupted one after another. Each Iwa-nin became a living bomb, taking out swathes of comrades in their wake.

Seeing Ōnoki’s grim expression, the Fourth Kazekage quipped, “Congratulations, Tsuchikage, you’ve found yourself a worthy successor.”

Ōnoki’s eye twitched.

Shūichi smiled faintly. “Ind...

[Konoha] Chapter 329: Pills and Rebellion!

Genetic defects are not so easily remedied. For example, despite Hayate’s bloodline disease, it has not been truly cured.

Instead, it is mitigated by the effects of Hashirama cells, counteracting the damage caused by the disease, making it seem as though Hayate has fully recovered.

Given the current advancements in Hashirama cell research, transplanting them into Kimimaro would not pose any technical challenges.

However, Kimimaro’s bloodline disease is far more severe co...

After dinner, Ichin continued working in the studio.

Hazuki glanced at an empty seat nearby and asked, "Ichin-kun, Utaha left a bit earlier than usual today. Did something come up?"

"I’m not sure," Ichin replied while focusing on the development tasks in front of him. "She didn’t say much—just mentioned that her mom sent her a message."

"Ah, I see," Hazuki nodded knowingly before leaning closer with a smile. "You two seem to get along pretty well, huh?"

Inazuma City, Tenshukaku.

Nolan met Raiden Shogun once again at the same place where the "Duel Before the Throne" had taken place.

“Haha, good morning, General. I’m here,” Nolan greeted her with a wave.

Raiden Shogun glanced at him impassively and said, “You’re late.”

Nolan felt a tinge of helplessness. It was still early, wasn’t it? Why the rush? Truly exasperating.

Of course, he didn’t dare voice his thoughts and could only admit fault....

[Konoha] Chapter 328: Haku vs. Zabuza!

"Watch out for Silent Killing!"

Haku shouted, raising one hand while exhaling a chilling mist from his mouth. The icy vapor merged into the already thickening fog around them.

The cold mist churned as two types of chakra intertwined.

This tactic not only blocked Haku and his team's chakra sensing ability but also prevented Zabuza from using his own sensory techniques.

However, this also meant Haku couldn't capitalize on his Ice Release by manipulating the chakra-infu...

"Hey, Kokomi!" Paimon waved cheerfully as she greeted her. With a bright smile, she continued, "Since we’re here, of course, we’re bringing good news!"

"Really? Does that mean the General has agreed to abolish the Vision Hunt Decree? What were the conditions?"

Kokomi’s fair face lit up with delight.

"There were no conditions! This guy here has already taken care of everything," Paimon said, pointing at Nolan.

[Frog] Chapter 288: Saving Private Drax

On Xandar, Alan approached Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The anger in Rocket’s eyes made it clear he already saw Alan as an enemy.

Alan chuckled helplessly. "Rocket, no need to be so hot-tempered. I have a task for you. Help me complete it, and I'll give you the Orb."

He took out the Orb, tossing it lightly in his hand. The shift in Rocket’s demeanor was obvious—the temptation of the Orb was undeniable.

Alan removed the restraints from Rocket and Groot's mouths. Immediatel...

Thankfully,

By the time Kurotsuchi and her team arrived, Deidara hadn’t wiped everyone out.

The first wave of explosions caught the two battling squads off guard, inflicting heavy casualties, though not to the point of annihilation.

Upon identifying Deidara as the enemy, the two previously clashing squads immediately joined forces, directing their attacks toward him.

Unfortunately for them, Deidara was airborne, making it difficult to strike him effectively.

In the central plaza of Xandar, Alan and Quill stood together, facing Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot.

Rocket, perched on Groot's shoulder with a gun in hand, yelled at Alan, "Kid! Hand over that thing right now!"

Gamora shot Rocket a glance. "That thing is mine!"

The tense atmosphere escalated instantly, and it looked like another fight was about to break out. Quill hurriedly stepped forward. "Stop arguing! The Orb is something I brought back. If anyone's deciding how to ...

"Why?" Quill asked nervously, looking at Alan.

Alan replied, "Because this isn't an ordinary object. There's immense energy hidden within it. You'll understand later."

Seeing that Alan had no intention of explaining further, Quill stopped pressing. Regardless, he was determined to go to Xandar.

The spaceship was fast, equipped with warp-drive capabilities. Before long, they arrived at Xandar.

Xandar was a highly advanced planet, governed by an organization called the N...

With Haku's command, "Move out," the four members of the squad vanished from their positions.

Marusaki Ichi dashed toward the valley's exit, while Omoi and Futakami Ryou moved to the valley's sides. Haku, on the other hand, infiltrated from the deepest end of the valley, aiming for a surprise attack.

In the dense forest, Haku moved like the wind itself—swift and silent. This was the Wind Body Flicker Technique.

Amid Naruto's endless chatter, Haku and the others left the plaza and arrived at a massive venue. The area resembled a giant conical pit, with a towering tree standing prominently at its core.

Around the giant tree, rows of seats radiated outward in a tiered arrangement. Notably, these seats were all seamlessly formed from vines and wood, blending perfectly with the natural setting.

Numerous entryways allowed waves of people, guided by volunteers, to stream into the venue and take...

After learning that the advertisement for her novel had been launched in Akihabara, Ichin and Utaha decided to visit the area after school on Thursday to check it out.

Joining them were Eriri and Yukino.

Yukino, who occasionally read light novels, had picked up the first volume of The Metronome in Love after discovering Utaha’s identity as a light novel author. It had taken her two evenings to finish it.

Seeing the long strip of meat on the cutting board, Hajime Shinoda curiously asked, "Pork belly?"

"Yep, salted pork belly. I'm planning to make a salted pork and vegetable rice dish," Ichin replied as he took out the other ingredients. Washing the knife, he asked, "Want to try it?"

"Is it tasty?" Hajime tilted her head.

Aboard the ship, Alan introduced Peter Quill to Wanda and Gwen. The two women showed little interest in Star-Lord, but Quill was visibly shocked upon seeing so many prisoners tied up on the floor.

"Did you capture all these people?" Quill asked.

Alan nodded. Quill followed up with another question, "How do you know so much about the Kree?"

Alan pointed at Korath on the ground. "They told me. You can ask them if you don’t believe me."

Quill grabbed Korath off the floo...

On Morag, Korath was tied up on the ground, his energy batons destroyed, and all his subordinates incapacitated. The fight had lasted less than three minutes. Against Alan and his team’s overwhelming strength, Korath’s group stood no chance.

Struggling on the ground, Korath roared, "Do you know who I am? If you don’t release me, the great Kree warrior, Ronan the Accuser, will find this place!"

Alan kicked him hard, making Korath see stars. Convinced now that this group had t...

As he signaled the group to move forward, Alan explained, "It's a long story, but if we can find Star-Lord, he might help us locate Jane Foster. He knows a lot more about the planets in the universe than we do."

They walked across a waterlogged area, and footprints on the ground showed that Star-Lord had already passed through.

“Anything at all…” Nolan fell into deep thought.

If there was something he particularly wanted, it would probably be rare treasures. Placing rare treasures in the "Wonderland" could expand the size of the space within it.

Asking for a "Gnosis" would be overstepping boundaries, especially since the Fatui were already eyeing it. That plan would have to wait for another time.

As the High Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine and a close confidant of the Raiden Shogun, Ya...

This development genuinely surprised Ichin, though upon further thought, it seemed quite logical.

Toyogasaki Academy, having been established for just over a decade, had already become one of the top schools in Tokyo for university entrance rates. Achieving this level of success proved the school’s ambition to produce tangible results. The idea of organizing an academic exchange with another school, even when Ichin had only transferred in half a semester ago, was just another example ...

On the barren, desolate horizon of Svartalfheim, a ship slowly rose into the sky. As Alan departed, the corpses of the Dark Elves were buried under yellowish sand. If nothing unexpected happened, this place would once again fall into an eternal silence.

The death of Malekith had rewritten the fates of both Asgard and Earth. Alan handed the fragment of the Aether to the Red Queen, who calculated and pinpointed a set of cosmic coordinates.

Malekith’s heart was filled with regret. He cursed himself for not seizing the Aether earlier. Now, not only were all his subordinates dead, but the location of the Aether was also unknown.

Wanda glanced at Alan, as if asking whether Malekith should be killed.

Alan considered for a moment. In the original storyline, Malekith was the one who caused Thor’s mother’s death and brought disaster to Earth. Killing him now would prevent those events from ever happening.
