Leaving Orochimaru's lab, Shūichi carefully contemplated the newly unlocked tag, [Devourer].
Judging by its effects, it was likely a red-level tag.
"Physical compatibility... it's probably referring to compatibility with other genetic traits."
"Perhaps it could also apply to Kekkei Genkai..."
With two consecutive tags involving physical compatibility, the pattern was becoming quite clear.
"Although my mental strength and willpower have improved, I’m still not ...

"What? What does he mean by that?"
Nick Fury turned to look at Hill, visibly irritated by Tony's nonchalant attitude.
Hill just shrugged in response.
Seeing Fury, the "old man" of S.H.I.E.L.D., hitting a dead end was something she found amusing.
"Infiltrate J.A.R.V.I.S.’s system. I want to know what those two just talked about..."

Hill picked up her tablet and began operating it skillfully.

The short vacation passed in the blink of an eye.
Shūichi resumed his leisurely task schedule, as Hiruzen Sarutobi stayed in the village, allowing Shūichi more time for research and training.
One day, Shūichi had an appointment with Kushina Uzumaki and arrived at his sensei Minato Namikaze’s house. Upon entering, he was surprised to find that Jiraiya was there as well.
The surprising part was that Jiraiya wasn’t in Konoha during the New Year celebrations. Who knows wh...

The clash between the Thunderclap and the longbow produced shattered violet sparks, like sudden lightning blooming in the void.
Childe chuckled lightly.
He knew that if he got entangled with this member of the Liyue Qixing, it would be difficult to claim the Gnosis. Ignoring them, he shattered the Thunderclap and attempted to continue his charge toward the Archon’s body.
But Keqing would never allow him to have his way!
The moment her Thunderclap broke, Keqing instan...

On the first day of the new year, as soon as Shūichi opened his eyes, he received a big gift.
Focusing his attention on the Tag Tree, he saw that the [Big Eater] tag was now ready to be activated.
Clearly, after him, no one else had surpassed his record.
"Activate!"
With just a thought, the leaf on the Tag Tree was enveloped in a blue glow, and the tag's effects were activated.
Physique boosted by 100%, recovery ability boosted by 100%, digestion ability boosted...

"Just a short while ago," Keqing replied, her light purple twin-tails swaying along her back, with the tips gently brushing her waist in the breeze.
"That guy, Childe, probably had someone secretly tracking us and found out the location of Geo Archon' body. He’s likely gone to steal the Gnosis," Nolan speculated.
"What?!" Keqing was shocked. She had heard about the possibility of the Fatui attempting to seize the Gnosis while at the Jade Chamber, and had prepared for it. However...

Author Note:
I received several questions in the comments asking why Terastallizing is possible in Galar, so I'll explain it here.
In the Pokémon anime, Friede used Terastallizing normally in Galar, so I assumed it could be used anywhere without thinking too much about it. The anime might explain it in more detail later, but for now, in this novel, I'll continue with the setting that Terastallizing can be used anywhere after a certain cooldown.

In the yard, Shūichi attempted to incorporate Wind Release chakra into his current state, causing the Fire Release chakra cloak around him to become unstable for a moment.
Shūichi quickly heightened his focus again.
The chakra cloak stabilized rapidly and began to change.
It became more solid, with a flowing quality to it, and the temperature increased, with the blue deepening in color.
Soon, three minutes passed, and the effects of "Flash of Insight" faded.

"Emperor!"
Tony repeated the name inside his Iron Man suit, and suddenly, his own moniker, "Iron Man," felt a bit underwhelming. It was then that Tony noticed something odd—a small, mouse-like figure in the Emperor’s arms.
"What’s that?" Tony couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Pika... Chu..." Pikachu growled menacingly, sparks flashing on its cheeks.
This left Tony even more puzzled. A creature that looked like a mouse was generating electricity. Coul...

Due to his biological clock, Nolan naturally woke up.
Lumine was lying beside him, her body half-draped over his arm. While the warmth and softness felt pleasant, it was causing poor blood circulation, making his arm a bit numb.
He gently tried to wriggle his arm free from her embrace.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t successful. Instead, she clung to him even tighter, seemingly applying more strength—this wasn’t something she was doing unconsciously in her sleep.

After completing an unofficial battle at the Motostoke Gym, Jin and Kabu entrusted their injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center and headed towards the battle café that Liko had mentioned.
“The Black Rayquaza, huh…”

Kabu, like Jin, was from the Hoenn region and was the Gym Leader of this town. Jin, hoping that Kabu might have some information about the Black Rayquaza, asked him as they made their way to their destination.

Tony stared at the digital model of the Emperor Armor in front of him, unwilling to give up. As a scientist rooted in materialism, he refused to believe that a suit like this could fly freely in the sky without any energy source.
Unless, of course, its user was a mutant like Magneto. But Tony had never heard of such a person among the mutants. As the richest man in th...

Mondstadt City.
The small courtyard ahead remained unlit. Fischl and Oz didn’t show up today—probably they went home or went out on an adventure and didn’t manage to return by nightfall.
This was typical for adventurers like Nolan and Lumine.
It seemed necessary to give Fischl a "waymark" soon. After all, there was always some risk in the wild, and having a skill that allows for a quick escape could be crucial.

After taking the top spot in the eating contest rankings, Shūichi shifted most of his focus to developing a new jutsu alongside Tsunade.
If they could create it this year without using his "Flash of Insight" ability, that would be ideal. Shūichi could then save his once-a-year "Flash of Insight" for other purposes.
For example, it could be used to comprehend the technique inscribed on the Totsuka Blade granted by the Tag Tree.
Or it could aid in studying the Four-Tails' La...

Pikachu was feeling dizzy after returning home. Curious, Alan asked, “Gwen, what did you do with him?”
Gwen, a bit embarrassed, replied, “We just did a few spins while flying…”
Seeing the look on their faces, Alan knew it wasn’t just a few spins. Gwen was used to swinging around the city every day, but Pikachu wasn’t. Add the wind pressure from descending, and it must have been too much for the little guy.

Earlier, on the phone, Kingpin's voice was filled with bitterness and rage, as if he was ready to go down with Fury. Nick Fury knew that Kingpin was still useful, so he wasn't about to let him fall just like that.

Tsunade immediately looked over with anticipation, but Shūichi said, "How about we grab some late-night snacks first?"
"If we can’t find a solution right now, maybe taking a break and relaxing will help us come up with something."
Tsunade instantly flared up.

Under the night sky, the terraced fields were filled with water that reflected countless stars. A few glowing fireflies flew across the surface, shining even brighter than the stars at this moment.
Qingce Village, located to the left of Wuwang Hill, was a relatively quiet village. Most of the villagers were elderly, with few young people left, as most had gone to the city to seek opportunities.
