OP Sister Chapter 216: The Lurking Machines

-----

Bright blue and red neon lights moved rapidly within the interior of the largest metallic tree within the world of Bestia, sitting right above the sank continent of Pangea, where billions died after the Cataclysm. Although its masters had perished, the artificial intelligence left within their creations remained. It gathered information, resources, and knowledge, and continued to progress, evolve, and better understand its enemy.

Within its depths, a single artificial intell...

The Crippled Vampire Prince Walks The Heavenly Demon Path Chapter 50: The Uninvited Guests Of The Evil Gods Gathering

-----

“I’m going too.”

Vlad touched the crystal, as his mind was quickly teleported somewhere else.

It was a place he didn’t recognize, but that was eerily similar to what Chris had seen too.

A world where two skies, one of darkness and one of light, endlessly collided.

And the presence of this Realm’s deities slowly began to manifest.

Vlad saw in disbelief as a gigantic jaw emerged within the black sky, smiling viciously at him. It began drooling...

Merneith, the princess of another parallel timeline from Earth, who had appeared from the gray gates formed by the Grandfather of Time to hasten the destruction of Earth, ended up revealing her identity and her secrets to the Hunters of the city of Cairo.

Despite her being rather shy about it, once they opened up to her and she realized they weren’t actually bad people, she confessed to them where she came from, while the hunters also shared their opinions and views about ...

The Divine Class Stone. From what Paul had investigated, it was a special item located in every church that allowed players to rank up their classes and obtain subclasses. The way they did this was through divine intervention.

The gods of every Realm would gauge the talent of players and assign them special class rank-ups or subclasses. Of course, sometimes, if they aren’t noteworthy at all, they can only get the most basic rank-ups or subclasses, oftentimes unlocked throu...

Martial Arts versus Futuristic Technology.

I never thought I would ever land in a world that had gone through such a ridiculous war. And the best thing, despite how the world has ended, was that Martial Arts seemed to have won.

Despite their many grievances, losses, and everything else they lost, including the continent where they all once lived and their legacy.

They won!

And their world, despite it all, is not destroyed, and not a single Void Ruler has da...

A beautiful, green-skinned orc lady, tall, strong-looking, with beautiful muscles, wide hips, enormous breasts, short red hair, and with half of her body covered in beautiful, red-colored tattoos.

She was almost completely naked, only wearing a white towel around her hips, with her beautiful breasts in full view.

“Mursha?”

“Bing Xue…”

Unlike how I imagined, she didn’t run away or act shy, although she did ogle my body a lot.

It wasn’t just one of them; it was at least ten. In a ratio with the beasts, they were one in over fifty. But they kept appearing, sneakily emerging from the bushes and behind the trees. Their humanoid forms and their heads, which were slightly animal-like and varied with each one, gave me an unnerving feeling.

Their cold, neon blue eyes shine brightly, and their bodies creak with metallic limbs and bones. Their movements felt like they were trying to imitate the living be...

Although it was already past two in the morning, the festivities outside seemed to never end. More people celebrated, ate, sang, and danced. But we were already a bit too tired of it all with Urbosa and Merkite; we wanted some more time alone, so after we enjoyed a bit more with everyone, we moved to a separate tent they had given us, a large one that seemed almost like a house of its own but was beautifully made from the pelts of many animals.

And the hope I had laid within a ring I extorted out of the High Administrators back then when I killed Uroboros. I had a special Ring that I was going to use on Earth, but that’ll come in handy here as well! It gives no stat boosts or special abilities, save for a single one.

And it was called “Cosmic Ring of Space Shifting”.

Ranks.

A classification is given to items and danger levels, and I guess also to strength levels, but strength levels and danger levels are very similar at the end of the day. Just like we treat a S Rank Monster as dangerous, S Rank humans are the same as these monsters at the end of the day.

Therefore, when I saw “Epic Rank” in that crane woman’s status, I quickly felt slightly shocked. I didn’t really think I would face such a powerful being right away, and a...

After Teressa woke up and all enemies were dealt with, Vlad and Alitheus quickly moved to heal any person that got caught in the battles or the destruction. At the same time, their mother also started to clean the streets from rubble while counting those that ended up dying.

Although they wanted to sit down and just talk about what happened, nobody had the time for that. With the walls broken open and a bunch of corpses everywhere, they had to get to work. Teressa called sev...

Inner Martial Cores.

It is the specialty of most Murim Worlds and where Martial Artists truly begin the cultivation of their more “supernatural” side of things.

Basically, they’re the crystallization and materialization of Ki and various other essences they might gather. Depending on their elemental affinities, these Cores can take on a variety of colors.

However, the usual color is golden or white, representing the golden essence of Ki, which is always gol...

Everything has happened too quickly, but Paul felt rather stressed and, at the same time, relieved. His battle against Asthartez was intense, but he ultimately managed to defeat him. The moment Asthartez’s calcinated body dropped on the floor, the power of the staff started to decrease, and the draconic beast being controlled swiftly lost its energies, falling unconscious over the floor as well.

Noticing that the rest of the orcs had been slain, he ran to see Vlad’s moth...

As I rejoined with my mates and the rest of our group, I noticed Fiery Hair was dancing with her tribesmen and the allied forces in the many fires the people of the camp created. She was having a lot of fun in this world. The people in here really clicked with her antics and, well, the antics of all the cavemen.

She had been mostly staying inside my Inner Realm since we rescued her, sometimes also in the Pagoda with a few other cavemen that had been chosen, but overall, she ...

Clarification!

There seems to be a running misconception among some readers that believe that Protagonist's Sister and Heavenly Martial Empress Returns are connected, in the same universe, or share stories.

I have to inform you all that these stories are in no way connected, and for the foreseen future, I do not see myself writing them ever becoming a single universe. They draw from each other's tropes and ideas, but they're separate.

The concept of "Murim" is simply a widespread "cultivation wo...

Just as I walked outside of Samariel’s forge, I found myself sitting right in front of an incredibly tall, bulky old man. With a really happy smile, his short, gray beard was shining brightly, and his eyes were very shiny. He had been fully healed; not only that, but he also looked even stronger than before. Was he regaining the strength he had lost from that curse?

Even with the time dilation inside of these Trials, I do expect to be gone for a long while.
