Chapter 94: Crossroads

An extremely lengthy document was soon sent to Aleph.

It didn’t take long for Mei and the others to narrow the targets down. There are three suspicious places within the neighborhood where the Herrscher attacked. 

The first one was a meth lab.

The second one was an unauthorized laboratory.

The third one was a port for human trafficking.

After a round of searching, he found the girl whom he saw in his elemental sight. He read through her documents. The rema...

Chapter 93: The Sixth

Tap.

Tap.

Swoosh-!

Aleph’s figure turned into a blur as he sped through the corridors. He is currently in the third institute. What should’ve been a night of rest turned into a crisis.

Before he could enter the director’s office, Einstein came out first. She was quite surprised by the slight shockwaves caused by his movements.

“I have heard of the news just now. The headquarters is preparing to place the borders into a state of ...

Chapter 92: Yet Again

Aleph’s reaction time is on a whole another level. It was completely absurd, to the point his mind processed his surroundings beyond the one millisecond level. Everything halted in his perception, making it as if time had stopped.

‘A supercharged projectile fired from a makeshift railgun.’

{Result: The silver metal ball’s velocity has reached 1,120 meters per second. Suggesting countermeasures…}

Soon, Aleph found a way to counteract this projectile.

‘Ka...

Chapter 91: Amber

Aleph slept for four hours before he woke up. Without having anything to do, he took out one of the silver cards he hid on the compartment beneath his bed’s flooring.

The scenery changed. He found himself in the midst of a ruined city.

As usual, Kashimo was sitting on a huge boulder on Shinjuku’s intersection.

“Oh? You became stronger again. You’re way faster than that kid.”

The first thing he did was to point out Aleph’s changes. Kashimo’s senses wer...

Chapter 90: Malice of the World

A huge dragon.

Its body was bigger than any mountains humans had seen. Inside this white space filled with nothingness, its sheer presence immediately took Aleph’s attention.

His mind, which was fuzzy, started recalling what happened.

‘I used Great Sage’s assistance to merge with the fourth fragment. Then…’

His memories were cut after that. He lost consciousness and woke up to this state.

Hum-!

A huge sensation of danger sw...

Chapter 89: Checkmating Oneself

Aleph was fine when he entered the lounge. However, when he left, he demonstrated signs of being listless. If not for his shoulder-length hair, his reddened ears would’ve been noticeable.

Nevertheless, his strange behavior was noticed by Anna who was in a lab gown.

“Major Anna… How was it?”

“It didn’t hurt. If it weren’t for the agreement, I wouldn’t have known about the bomb.”

The two had a brief greetings before Aleph walked away. His back was refle...

Chapter 88: Switching to the Offensive

School is a place to learn new things. However, it becomes irrelevant to those gifted people. Mei was one such example.

She could’ve sped through the entire educational phase and graduated with a doctorate. The only reason why she didn’t was due to her father’s insistence.

“It’s not just knowledge you’ll learn.”

It was a serious remark. Ryouma knew his daughter was more than capable, but there are some...

Chapter 87: Recollections

Narrowed irises.

Cold sweat.

Trembling pupils.

A tell-tale sign of anxiety attacks. Aleph had seen it way too many times during his tenure as a soldier.

‘It’s the worst…’

The girl’s condition was akin to a soldier who was the only one who survived. Not only would there be survivor’s guilt, the post-traumatic stress disorder atop other things would make things worse.

“Fu…”

‘That’ll take a while… to calm do...

Chapter 86: Half a Student

Aleph had the brief moment to group the achievements and the rewards he amassed during this expedition. There are more than a dozen of them, ranging from ‘small’ achievements to the ‘major’ ones. 

He first sorted out the major ones.

[Let it Go: Fight against a formidable opponent with cold-type powers without being frozen once.]

[Paragon of the Craft: Fight against a formidable opponent and dominate them.]

[Staying Moti...

Chapter 85: Affirmation

The world is separated into various dimensions, some of which may be imperceptible to the naked eyes. It doesn’t apply to Aleph, however. His elemental sight was enough to see all the information there was within a space. He even had a vague feeling of being able to see someone else at the opposite side of the world. Only, the sense of distance seems too “far” in human cognition.

Crack-!

Shatter-!

The crack of...

Chapter 84: Authority

It was a hot mess.

That was what Fire MOTH experienced at the night of the fifth major eruption.

First was the loss of satellite feeds. Nearly all camera feeds within the four cities struck by the eruption got lost. As a result, they had to manually read and predict the situation through honkai energy readings as well as the convergence of honkai beasts.

By the time Mei returned unscathed inside the fourth institute, she was welcomed by the hectic work...

Chapter 83: Vestiges of War

A long night has ended.

It was true.

However, it was relative to the most dangerous being within the City of Justice.

Psshk-!

Psshk-!

Zoom-!

A blur blitzed through an entire street in one go. With a single jump, Aleph landed straight to where a templar-class beast was present. The momentum of more than fifty meters high jump left no room for it to react.

Psshk-!

The greatswords’ broad ...

Chapter 82: End to a Long Night

Looking at the peaceful sleeping look of the girl in his arms, Aleph recalled the Anna that he knew.

‘She’s also the fifth herrscher. If this is not fate, then…’

His mind flew to the other girl whom he asked to be monitored.

‘The sixth and seventh… It should… no. It will be different this time.’

For now, he made contact with the suspected sixth herrscher as an online fan. The girl worked as an ...

Chapter 81: Turning Point

“What… should I do?”

It was a very simple question, yet most humans did not exactly know what the answer was.

Most of the time, they chose to be swept by the flow. It was an aimless journey with a goal far too generalized—such as living a “good” life, repaying one’s parents, and so on.

Anna’s dilemma could be thought of that. She went through ups and downs since her enlistment in Fire MOTH.

It started with an accidental encounter with the h...

Chapter 80: Cut-out Threads

The Sundown Alley is a marginalized place. It is a hotbed for criminals and refugees whose identities weren't convenient to be disclosed.

Naturally, there would be a feedback loop where several eccentric characters knew each other.

The girl, Pardofelis, only became a proficient thief two years ago. That was the time she came across the magician, an infamous figure in the Sundown Alley. 

Her biggest feature was her ma...

Chapter 79: Stalemate

The Current Era existed atop the Previous Era’s efforts. They inherited numerous advantages, to the point the significant people in the former achieved things the Previous Era could not.

For Aleph, Elysia’s sacrifice was the most significant one. It isn’t wrong to say there wouldn’t be the Current Era he knew if it hadn’t happened.

Thus, he was willing to reveal a lot of his cards if it meant converting the Herrscher&nbs...

Chapter 78: Land of Frost

Fifteen storeys tall.

Converted into meters, it is more than 55 meters aboveground. In respect to gravity, it takes more than five seconds to land to the ground.

‘A human ego. I'll see how it goes.’

Aleph was aware of his sudden actions. Instead of striking from afar with one blow, he forsook his stealth advantage.

All of it just to see whether the Current Era's situation could be replicated.

A few seconds had passed. The fifth herrsche...

Chapter 77: Change of Plans

Traveling between two different continents was often time consuming. The number of flights, appointments, and preparations made was enough for a well-off family to plan for it months prior to their travel date.

Fire MOTH, however, developed an advanced transportation plan. That includes transport planes that could steadily fly at Mach 50. These planes were far more valuable than regular fighter jets and requires a pilot with extremely high honkai resistance, thus it wouldn’t be used u...

Chapter 76: Fifth Herrscher

Hurried footsteps could be heard all across the third institute. The sound of blaring alarms as well as bright orange lights filled the entire place.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

The sounds of heavy footsteps turned everything silent for a moment. For some reason, everyone looked in the direction of a man. Moments later, everyone resumed their work.

Nevertheless, this scene was remembered by all of the personnel that came across Aleph—

Li...
