At first, Gwen thought “sphere” meant something like the MSG Sphere in London.
Or maybe the dome of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
But she never expected it to mean the biggest sphere of all — the planet Earth.
The first two were just buildings shaped like balls.
This one… was a planet floating in space.
“Pop~”
Before Gwen could even speak, Lorien snapped his fingers, and the two vanished instantly.
The next moment, ...

Lorien understood Natasha perfectly.
In short, the Avengers’ authority had been cut by more than half. Captain America had disappeared with some members. The rest either joined the United Nations or retired.
But everyone knew that retirement wouldn’t bring peace. Staying at the base wasn’t great either.
For example, unless they were on official missions, superheroes weren’t allowed to appear in the normal world. That was why Natasha lived the way she did. When she wa...

The King of Heroes cast a long, quiet glance over the altar—and in that instant, he understood.
Behind him, thousands of golden whirlpools surged into being, their brilliance gradually bound together by red-and-black light patterns, weaving like the roots of a World Tree.
That supreme treasure of mankind—the miraculous power spanning humanity’s past and future—flowed into Gilgamesh’s hands, gathering in the sword he slowly drew: Ea.

Samael rushed into the central cabin, leapt onto the altar, and spoke with absolute resolve.
"Good! The rest is in your hands!"
"I’ll head out first to hold off the enemy and buy you the remaining time!"
Gilgamesh nodded without hesitation, tossed over the royal seal, and drew Ea from the golden vortex. In the next instant, his figure turned into a streak of light, soaring toward the heart of the battlefield w...

“No...” Yhwach’s heart sank. His brows furrowed as he snapped his focus back, forcibly tearing himself away from the illusion.
He never imagined that, as one of the most exalted souls in existence, he could still be struck by a mental assault.
Clang!!
Just as he regained his senses, a white longsword came crashing down on his arrow.
An overwhelming force surged through his entire body in an instant. A searing, tearing pain shot through his wrist, followed by a de...

“An existence of equal rank to myself.”
Yhwach murmured as he turned slightly, gripping a nearly man-length Reishi arrow. His gaze was solemn, fixed ahead.
“Perhaps even closer to Father than I am now.”
As the dust was swept away by the howling wind, Yhwach clearly saw the Captain-Commander of the Shinigami walking toward him.
It was as if he held the entire world in his hands. The blood-soaked air swirled around his white haori, and beneath his black hair, his...

The door slammed open—same as always.
“Ais-tan!”
Right after the slam, Loki charged in like a maniac, just like she always did.
Seeing Loki pounce at her like a starving tiger, Ais tilted her head slightly and casually dodged.
But because she was standing so close to the wall, Loki’s leap sent her flying straight into it.
There was a solid—
“Thud!”
The whole wall seemed to shake. Loki ended up plastered against it in a ...

The dramatic reveal at the Denatus had instantly pushed Loki Familia to the peak.
Three new Lv. 7s had emerged from within the Familia, raising Orario’s upper limit by an entire level.
The gods of the Evilus faction were left reeling from the news.
But there was nothing they could do.
They had already taken their shot—even going so far as to unleash a Lv. 8 Spirit Clone—and yet they still couldn’t stop Loki Familia’s rise. If that wasn’t absurd, what was?

The pterosaur circling at a safe distance caught Quetzalcoatl as she fell back.
Gilgamesh also descended onto the Vimana, clutching his bleeding abdomen with one hand. He looked far from well, but was still alive.
As a Servant, his Spirit Core had not been damaged, and at Hakuno’s request, he shifted into Spirit Form.
Once he confirmed they were both safe, Shiomi turned his eyes toward Tiamat.

Now, for the first time while fully awake, his consciousness touched this deep sea.
He guessed that this was both the Sea of Life where Tiamat slumbered, and the Sea of the Mind that led directly to her spirit.
That distant, unreachable light—so far yet seemingly within reach—was the very core of Tiamat’s consciousness.

Three days later, a caravan of more than twenty people pulled ten carts loaded with seafood toward Iwagakure.
At the head of the caravan was a plump middle-aged merchant with a cheerful smile and a pair of glasses—Kazuyama Gekkō in his new disguise. The rest of the group were workers he had hired from nearby towns.
“Everyone, keep pushing. We’ll be at Iwagakure soon.”

In the past, they could still apply to Mary Geoise for extra funding.
But given the current situation, Staff Officer Tsuru estimated that even the World Government itself was out of money.

Katakuri stepped forward and handed the small box in his hand to Ortoren.
Ortoren looked at him, a bit puzzled, but before Katakuri could say anything, Charlotte Linlin—sitting on the throne—spoke up directly.

Ortoren wasn’t the type to stand on ceremony. Hearing that, he simply reached out and took the box from Katakuri.

Charlotte Linlin’s offer wasn’t bad, but Ortoren had no interest in it.
He didn’t hold any grudge against her for abandoning him, but he wasn’t about to become someone’s son again—especially if it meant constantly calling her “Mama.”
So, without a second thought, Ortoren shook his head and said, “I refuse!”
Before Charlotte Linlin could say a word, he went on, “I didn’t come to Whole Cake Island to join the Big Mom Pirates. Katakuri told me you might ...

Whole Cake Island might sound a bit silly, but it's actually a massive island. As the famous headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates in the New World, it boasts an excellent location and abundant resources.

Hiss!
A thick, purple-red beam of Mana tore across the sky, cleaving through the waves and gouging two trenches in the floodwaters, each dozens of meters deep.
The three Noah’s Arks immediately scattered, their outer Magecraft barriers tightened to the limit as they fled the rift carved open by the blast.
The ships on the flanks—Numbers 2 and 3—reacted fastest, escaping unscathed.
But Ship 1, carrying the main fighting force, became the beam’s primary target.

Layer upon layer of mountains barely shielded the barrier’s interior, protecting just over ten thousand survivors.
