Obtaining the Global Time Fracture and the Battlesuit made of Soulium was a small detour Aleph made. He continued his original plans.
In such a manner, three months had passed.

Mount Enzou.
The night sky painted the surroundings with darkness. A large amount of dust clouds emerged from the collapsed Mount Enzou. A loud sizzling sound came from below the rubbles.
Murky black fluid began flowing out of the collapsed ...

“You’re the only Vill-V who makes bad puns…”

Aleph fell silent. Every time he meets this kind of Vill-V, he can't think of any good comebacks. This was the only case where he ‘ties’ with her.

2024-12-30 16:21:55 +0000 UTC View PostAleph didn’t hesitate to tell the Evolution Cube’s effects to Kalpas.
First of all, he wanted to see how he would react. There were few things stated in Kalpas' past. Most of it were hints and indirect clues that point out to his identity as an otherworlder.
That’s right.
Aside from Aleph, Kalpas also came from another world—at the very least, the world outside this ‘solar system’.
The plot from the ‘game’ he played revealed a lot of things. Five years ...
2024-12-29 15:58:18 +0000 UTC View PostAleph roughly expected this scenario to happen. Most of the people he met before belonged to the military. They treated him with respect due to the contributions he made. They were clear that his existence saved thousands.
That wasn’t the case for civilians and non-combatants.
While most people ‘admire’ him, there were a select few who spread their doubts, mainly the future of ‘super-strong’ soldiers.
Will it make a huge rift from normal humans?

Aleph found himself in a familiar sight. It was the sea of stars. They seemed stagnant—no movements and the likes. Their brilliance could be seen now and then.
‘This place feels… familiar.’
He tried moving his head around, to which he succeeded. There wasn't any sluggishness in his mind, as opposed to the first time he had a dream like this.
‘As expected…’
Aleph looked at the colorful lights that surrounded him. It was something that cou...

One of them was the ‘most famous’ holiday during winter, X-mas.
‘Hm… It fits.’
Aleph thought of the cultural differences between this world and his world. For once, there weren’t legends regarding the ‘Christian Bible’, at least not in this era.
Buddha became one of Void Archive’s users prior to Otto Apocalypse. Thus, it could be deduced ...

‘Four Herrschers… given they could coordinate well, it’s a hassle. I should be able to defeat all four of them alone if I catch them off guard. If they know about me…’
Situations such as that popped up in his mind.

The number of honkai beasts in such a place exceeded that of normal. Add to that the two consecutive major honkai eruption, coupled with a few small-scale eruptions, it was enough to destroy small towns and amass a huge number of undead.

Originally, Albion was the size of a mountain. It was also strong enough to survive in space with its bare body, swimming through the sea of nothingness until it decided to ‘die’ on the ruined Earth.
In terms of physical strength, only a few could match it.

Just the numerous high-rise buildings that collapsed were enough to cause strong earthquakes. If it wasn’t for Sundown Alley being in the right distance, they might have suffered from it.
Fortunately, they weren’t. It was the reason why most pe...

At first, they had an interval of a few years, then months.

It was a hazy dream. Aleph’s body experienced a sensation akin to floating atop the ocean’s waves. The feeling of weightlessness felt extremely strange to him, too.
During all this time, he did not know what was happening. He could vaguely see blurry images appear on his sight.
Moments later, any ‘descriptions’ of these blurry images were wiped in an instant.

Sakura’s senses were extremely sharp. The room’s state a few moments ago was hidden by some power. It also wasn’t difficult to notice the hickeys on his neck.
Only when Aleph snapped out of it did Aleph notice Sakura’s strange gaze.

First, the Evolution Cube had unexplainable origins.
Second, the situation is relatively stable now.
Third, it serves as the prototype Flamechasers’ trump card.

Sasaki had already prepared himself for it. Nevertheless, he still caught off guard.

It was as if a pair of shackles were broken in this world.
That brought him to the second thing…

An unprecedented freedom.

Aleph swiftly went into his ‘visitor’ state.

In the case of the Fuyuki Grail War, the “omniscient” Holy Grail was a huge scam. The Greater Grail, which was built to withstan...
