Chapter 86: The Cat Burglar

Russell's fingers moved with practiced precision across the blank card, each stroke deliberate and purposeful. The orange-haired woman taking shape beneath his pen seemed to pulse with life, her features emerging from the void like a memory crystallizing into reality. He paused, studying the curve of her jawline, the defiant tilt of her chin. This wasn't just any drawing—this was creation itself.

"If I'm doing this," he muttered, adding another careful line, "might as well go all out....

Chapter 99: The Weight of Wisdom

Kamar-Taj

Within the Mirror Dimension, Aidan had maintained his cross-legged meditation for three days in real-world time. While an ordinary person might survive a week without sustenance, individual constitutions varied dramatically—some could suffer serious effects within mere days. However, magical training enhanced one's physical capabilities considerably. Though it couldn't achieve true transcendence of mortal needs, surviving three days without food or water pos...

Chapter 98: Diplomatic Dances and Dangerous Alliances

The afternoon's game stretched on until the sky began its slow descent toward evening. As the banquet hour approached, everyone settled onto the lawn with faces flushed from exertion and excitement, the golden afterglow of the setting sun casting long shadows across their varied forms—human and Autobot alike.

"Time to go," Sir Edmund announced, straightening his posture with aristocratic dignity. "The banquet begins shortly, and we mustn't keep our guests waiting." This evening's even...

Chapter 97: The Fabric of Space and Time

Gravity permeates every corner of the universe, and any object with mass possesses the power to bend the very fabric of space itself. We typically imagine space as invisible and intangible—a void—but it's actually a tangible entity with physical properties, much like a vast cloth stretched across the cosmos.

In the emptiness of a vacuum, light travels in perfect straight lines. But place an object as massive as the sun upon this cosmic fabric, and its tremendous gravitation...

CHAPTER 96

The Wanderer mecha slowly pivoted on its massive axis, sensors focusing on a figure suspended in the void above. Against the colossal frame of the war machine, she appeared almost delicate—a dark sapphire jewel floating in the cosmic darkness. Aidan engaged his optical systems, zooming in to study this unexpected visitor.

What he saw defied easy categorization. Her entire form was rendered in deep blue, her body possessing the elegant proportions of humanity while transcending ...

Chapter 85: The Navigator

The tournament ground buzzed with electric tension as the day's remaining matches unfolded. Russell watched each battle with predatory focus, cataloging every move, every weakness, every hidden strength. The competitors moved like chess pieces across the arena, but none of them set his pulse racing the way a true threat should. They were holding back—he could feel it in the way they fought, the careful restraint in their movements. In the top 16, everyone had secrets buried beneath their sl...

Chapter 83: Is That Even a Legal Move?

A tide of golden-red flames erupted across the duel field like a solar storm unleashed. At its epicenter stood Yoriichi Tsugikuni, his form wreathed in fire that seemed to breathe with its own life. His eyes blazed with the color of a dying sun, pupils transformed into twin stars of devastating radiance.

"What is this!?" Cole Kong's voice cracked with disbelief. His hands trembled as he stared at the transformed warrior. Yoriichi had never hinted at such apocalyptic power. If C...

Chapter 82: The Round of 16

"I didn't expect that we would meet in the round of 16," Cole Kong said, a wry smile playing across his face as he stood next to Russell, staring at the tournament schedule blazing across the massive screen. The fluorescent letters seemed to mock him—their names locked in opposing brackets like destined enemies. He really hadn't wanted to run into Russell this early, but fate had other plans.

"I will do my best," Cole declared, whirling to face Russell with fire dancing in his eyes li...

Chapter 81: Headhunting

The knockout round of 32 was scheduled to last several days, so after his first-day victory, Russell was granted a few days of rest. Being his first time in Northgate, he was unfamiliar with the city and could only meditate in his hotel room.

Ding dong.

The message alert from his phone made him open his eyes. "Who would be looking for me at this time?" he wondered aloud. "Misty again? More materials?" It was no wonder he had such thoughts—since arriving in Northgate, sh...

Chapter 95 - The Bridge Between Worlds

One Year Later

The morning air in Chicago crackled with anticipation as Megatron stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Optimus Prime, their ancient rivalry set aside for this moment that would reshape two worlds. Around them, Autobots and Decepticons worked together in an unprecedented display of unity, their metal forms gleaming in the early sunlight.

Above them, Cybertron hung in the sky like a second moon—a metallic world four light-years from home, waitin...

Chapter 94 - The Scepter's Awakening

The alien craft's brilliant white beam cut through the murky depths like a celestial spotlight, illuminating secrets that had slumbered beneath the waves for millennia. What it revealed took Viviane's breath away—a tomb fit for legends.

Carved from pristine white stone, the chamber resembled a miniature Greek temple, its walls adorned with twelve solemn knights, each eternally leaning on their sword in silent vigil. Skulls of various sizes dotted the sacred space like macabre decorati...

Chapter 80: Humblebrag

In the ivory tower of the university representatives' section, the atmosphere crackled with barely contained greed. These weren't just observers—they were predators, and they'd just watched a lion cub tear apart seasoned hunters.

"Poor Shane," the Imperial University representative sighed, though his eyes gleamed with calculation. "If he hadn't run into Russell, he'd have carved through several more rounds easily."

"Just unlucky," the Northgate University representative agreed, ...

Chapter 79: The Information Gap

The referee's whistle cut through the arena like a blade, and Shane's hand moved with practiced precision. The talisman flew from his fingers like a golden dart, slapping against the Hirsute Zombie's forehead with a wet thwack that made the crowd collectively wince.

But instead of freezing the creature like some cheesy horror movie, the talisman ignited.

The zombie's body began to swell, muscles bulging obscenely, bones cracking and reforming, flesh stretching un...

Chapter 93

Egypt.

The area surrounding the pyramid had been transformed into a sprawling complex of steel buildings—some constructed by the Transformers, others by KSI Corporation. The pyramid housing the Star Harvester was now encircled by black metal walls. At the center lay a bare void where shimmering magical energy occasionally flickered. Aidan had finally found the breakthrough he needed and begun the device's transformation.

A call interrupted his work. Checking the caller ID, he kn...

Chapter 92

The next day, Joshua Joyce attended the global video conference in Aidan's place.

As the number of Decepticons on Earth continued to grow, humanity would have been helpless against these invading robots without KSI's technological breakthroughs. The enemy was highly mobile—if they couldn't win a fight, they'd simply retreat, never giving humans a chance to surround them. Worse still, they could hide in plain sight within human society. The car you drove today could be a Decepticon tom...

CHAPTER 78 ( R18 VERSION )

( Dont read if you don't like R18 chapters )

"Got the goods. I'm out," Russell said, pocketing the materials. Seeing that Misty had nothing else for him, he headed for the door.

"See ya," Misty replied without looking up from her spreadsheets. "I'll call if something comes up." The Society had only asked her to deliver the materials—nothing more, nothing less. In fact, given her cover, the less contact she had with him, the better. She didn't need the headache of explaining wh...

Chapter 77: A Female Card

Russell sat cross-legged on his hotel bed, trying to meditate but mostly just staring at the ceiling. Three days until the knockout rounds, and he was stuck in Northgate—a city about as exciting as watching paint dry. He'd rather be anywhere else, and he definitely wasn't going back to that sketchy Everspring Clinic.

Ding.

His phone lit up with a message. Russell groaned and cracked one eye open. "Who the hell is texting me at this hour?"

[Misty]: Mr. Russ...
