Chapter 69: Punishments

Midnight.

It is the time when most people are resting. Even Aleph chose to sleep for a few hours. Only Mobius remained awake as she finished the final details needed for the consecutive surgeries tomorrow.

‘...It’s strange.’

She suddenly felt a disturbing sensation. Shesha, the third herrscher’s accompanying emperor-class beast, had several abilities that made it hard to kill. Notably, one of them was its ability to regenerate rig...

Chapter 68: Complex Emotions

Throughout the entire meeting, Mei spoke most of the time. There were times Sakura and Mobius raised some questions, but the rest remained as listeners.

A plan was created in the end.

Kevin, Elysia, and Sakura will be prioritized on the MANTIS surgery. The rest who would follow are still up for deliberation.

Things would remain like this. After luring Mei’s enemies from the dark, only then would the Soldier Project be revealed. Though there are ...

Chapter 67: Prototype

As if expecting this scene, Aleph took a towel placed on a metal counter. His figure disappeared, only to return to Mobius’ side a second later. It soon fell on her naked body.

Seeing her surprised looks, he had the urge to mess around.

“What? Even though it’s rare to see you like this, I’d rather save you from embarrassment.”

“Heh. So you’re actually a gentleman?”

“By definition, yes. I can cook, do my own laundry, clean the house…”

The two...

Chapter 66: Expected Success

“Reverse Curse Technique…”

Aleph was immersed in learning the new concept Kashimo introduced to him. If learned, his fighting power would increase to a terrifying degree.

Up until now, he didn’t have a close call by choosing what he fights. Aside from the Nagazora City incident, all of his battles were against honkai beasts or humans whose dangers could be handled if prepared well. Even his act of one-shotting the fou...

Chapter 65: Sorcerer Battle

Bam-!

Kashimo landed after vaulting more than twenty meters aboveground. Only his nyoi staff was visibly broken.

‘Two… no, three times. And they're all from tricky angles.’

Whenever Aleph let out a punch, Kashimo could strike back thrice. The overwhelming disparity made Aleph question his prior analysis of Kashimo.

Fortunately, he has someone to help him.

{Result: Partial elemental transformation was found in the target's body. His energy…}

Chapter 64: Half a Chapter

Aleph’s surgery was the first throughout history. His case proved that the Soldier Project could really succeed. Mobius spared no efforts and pulled him over to run diagnostics.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

“Toughness beyond a diamond’s… were the teeth a special section?”

“The nails are roughly the same.”

“Your irises don't contract in light.”

Mobius had the slight urge to...

Chapter 63: Success

The Soldier Project has been a mainstay within Fire MOTH for more than five years. It was one of the projects that got a huge focus. The power of honkai was terrifying. 

Thus, what would happen if it was used for humanity’s sake?

That project aimed to give an answer to that question.

Unfortunately, it has been so many years yet the project plateaued. A lot of people volunteered to be the test subjects at first, but as the casualty rates became higher with no signs of ...

Chapter 62: Elemental Sight

“Hm…”

At this moment, Aleph was intently staring at the [Cursed Sword] in his hand. It was an item that helped him hone his cursed energy control to a large extent.

With a thought, the world became slower in his eyes. The clarity and speed of his thoughts were upgraded to another level. His mind became capable of doing several things at once.

Briefly, his sight turned dark blue as a black spark appeared in the [Cursed Sword]’s location. Upon seeing it, ...

Chapter 61: Twice The Shock

Four hours passed with Sasaki’s teaching. It wasn’t a formal teaching per se, but something coming from his own, rather, Sasaki’s existence. The superimposing legends affected his existence enough to grant him the title of a strong swordsman who fought Miyamoto Musashi in a duel.

“These exercises… I’ll add them to the blindfold regimen.”

Months had passed since Aleph received the blindfold and the cursed sword. These two items were the main rea...

Chapter 60: Second Teaching

“This is the first.”

“Hm?”

“Director Einstein doesn’t delegate her work to others.”

The institute’s director had a lot of things to do aside from paper work. That includes visitations on some sites where controlled experiments were done. They focus a lot on robotics and the creation of things that could combat huge honkai beasts, hence the third institute has the largest area out of them all.

“She was busy lately, and I think I could...

Chapter 59: Binding Vows

“Mn… This is troublesome.”

It was unknown when the Nyoi Staff in his hands got restored to its pristine state.

“Ugh, that’s it. I’ll start with the rules in this place.”

“This place?”

“Mn. Strictly speaking, it is a replica of where I died.”

Kashimo began telling Aleph the rules inside this training space.

“I don’t know how I got here. Only, it explained that this place was not real. Look.”

He pulled out one of the...

Chapter 58: Mentor

“Huff!”

Aleph was forced to take a deep breath. The sensation of drowning in water was still fresh to him just now. He looked around his surroundings and saw the familiar bedroom.

“...I’m back.”

His sight was caught by the lines of text in the corner.

[Achievement Unlocked: Proficient Planeswalker]

[Achievement Unlocked: Escaping Death]

[Planeswalker: Travel to another space-time twice.]

[Escaping Death: Experience near-death five tim...

Chapter 57: Three Minutes

“Huff… Huff…”

A cold fog came out of Aleph’s mouth with each breath. He touched the blood red ice in his chest.

{Analysis complete. Remaining survival time is two minutes and five seconds.}

“It’s good enough.”

He came into this “world” in his severely injured state. It was the time when the hole was freshly made; if it wasn’t, his organs would’ve failed by now.

It was due to the cursed energy enhancement that he was able to live for three ...

Chapter 56: Sphere Boundary

Spirits.

In this world, they are beings who cause destruction at every turn. Just like Honkai, it is kept well-hidden to the normal denizens of this world.

Spirits have an unimaginable power. Some could cause strong tornadoes while others could raze their surroundings to cinders.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

The downpour of the rain became stronger. In the midst of everything, several thin humanoid robots surrounded a blue-haired girl....

Chapter 55: Bad First Meeting

It was a swift transformation. In a magical girl manner, her clothing changed. Such magical means are enough to shock Aleph in the past.

Her middle school uniform was changed with a black-red lolita dress. He could tell Kurumi placed her mind into creating it.

“Is it customizable?”

“Yes?”

Kurumi seemed interested in his reaction.

“Isn’t it normal that magical girls can’t choose their outfits?”

“Fufu… I can. In fact…”

Her outfit...

Chapter 54: Past

The first year of middle school.

It was not a distant memory, roughly four years ago.

The announcement of his parents’ death made him stand blankly in front of the door. He couldn’t do anything. At that point in time, he simply didn’t have the strength to drastically alter the world.

For once, the law of Honkai prevented him from spitting out future knowledge easily. Without that, he couldn’t do anything alone. Staying close to some significant peop...
