When Bell returned to the temporary base in the 50th floor safe zone, his thoughts were still in disarray.
"Ugh..."
Despite all his precautions, he’d still ended up meeting the Goddess of Beauty.
That unmistakable yandere aura was overwhelming—and there was no doubt now that Freya had her eyes on him.
But honestly, that wasn’t even the worst part.
What troubled him most was that Freya wasn’t even on the opposing side anymore.
The fact that she had z...

“This is your soul world.”
“My soul world...?”
Seeing the curiosity on Bell's face, Freya smiled as she explained.
Soul world?
It was the first time Bell had heard such a term.
Naturally, it was also his first time seeing a world like this.
Freya glanced at the massive stone door beside her—blocking everything beyond—and then at the surrounding gloom, letting out a quiet sigh.
“No wonder I couldn’t see your soul the first time. I didn...

In the city of Eridu, a temple that didn't belong to Mesopotamian civilization stood prominently at its center.
It was a classic Mayan pyramid, and at its peak sat the temple of Quetzalcoatl. The god worshipped and offered sacrifices there now stood at the top of the steps, looking down at Shiomi and the others who had made their way through dense jungle and urban streets to reach this place.
Also present was the defected Jaguar Warrior.
Originally a masterless Servant, the ...

As Shiomi had said, the road from Uruk to Eridu posed little danger. The scattered wild Magical Beasts of the Age of Gods were no threat to beings like them.
They traveled slowly by carriage, at times surveying the wilderness, at times drawing water from a clear river, or foraging for edible animals and fruits.
The fertile plains of Mesopotamia yielded an abundance of resources. Even without supplies, one could survive for over a month on what the land provided.
Of course, t...

Ten minutes later, Kazuyama Gekkō, disheveled and irritated, quickly left the Hyūga compound.
Dealing with Hyūga Hiashi had left him in a bind—he couldn’t fight back, and he couldn’t defend either. After all, this might end up being his future father-in-law.
With no other choice, he resorted to dodging every attack with everything he had, weaving and ducking while still trying to push his marriage proposal.
The result? Hiashi only got angrier, and his Gentle Fist st...

The next day, at the Uchiha household.
Fugaku looked like a walking volcano, while Kazuyama stood in front of him with his usual grin. Fugaku, practically spewing lava, was rubbing his sore legs.
“You bastard! It's bad enough you made me pay for that meal, but you dumped me 30 kilometers away! I had to run all night to get back!”
“You really went all out!”
Itachi, standing to the side, watched his father with a hint of curiosity. For as long as he could remembe...

That felt amazing.
In that moment, seeing the stunned, unsightly expressions on the faces of the Five Elders, Kong felt as if all the frustration and pent-up fury of these past days had been completely washed away.
In its place was a deep, indescribable sense of satisfaction and relief.
If not for the setting—and his own pride—he would’ve thrown his head back and let out a triumphant roar on the spot.
But what caught him completely off guard...

Topman Warcury, holding a cup of hot tea, suddenly lifted his head. His gloomy gaze fell coldly on the Fleet Admiral before him.
Steam curled from the tea in his hand, drifting past his shadowed eyes, adding an eerie, unfathomable air to the room.
A quiet anger began to spread through the chamber.
Faced with the stare of Topman Warcury—the Five Elders' enforcer, the Warrior God of Justice—Kong fell silent.

Kagerōza Inaba looked at Ryōdoji Ganryū with visible displeasure, his tone edged with caution.
As the head of the Ryōdoji Family, this man rarely left his own estate—let alone stepped into Kagerōza’s dark, secluded laboratory.
Ganryū gave a slight nod, then casually pulled out a chair and sat down, his gaze sharpening with quiet intensity.

Before becoming Head Priestess and advisor to King Gilgamesh, Shamhat had been someone she deeply admired—an idol she aspired to emulate.
Back when Uruk was mired in darkness, it was Shamhat, with her exceptional knowledge and wisdom, who earned the trust of the tyrannical Hero King.

All members of the expedition team needed rest and treatment.
Whether it was Finn and the others or Riveria, they all needed time to recover.
For them, the 58th floor was the ideal place to rest for now. With the Dungeon's spawning halted temporarily, it was nothing short of a mercy.
Ais, walking at the rear, glanced back at the battlefield on the 59th floor before turning to catch up with the departing team.

Finn’s emotions were all over the place—especially under this kind of relentless attack from that walking bundle of facial cleanser. He really didn’t know how to handle it.
Just like Lefiya had seen earlier, there were literal red hearts in Tione’s eyes. It wasn’t for any other reason—just the simple fact that marriage was finally a sure thing.

The next day, before dawn, Shiomi, Morgan, and Artoria set out on their journey to Eridu.
Just yesterday, Quetzalcoatl had declared that she would return to Uruk after sunrise to kill a hundred soldiers. But now, instead of staying behind to defend the city, they were heading straight for the enemy’s stronghold—something that left Artoria slightly puzzled.

Sengoku never imagined things would take such a turn.
He stared at the floating town rising steadily into the sky, already beyond reach, and at the purple-haired figure standing at the very front, immovable like a stubborn reef.
Bullets rained down, yet every single one somehow missed, brushing past that lone figure with uncanny “precision.”

The ground split apart with a deafening roar.
The entire Japanese-style mansion, along with a massive slab of rock beneath it, tore away from the earth like a colossal floating fortress.
What was left behind was a gaping crater—so wide and deep it looked as if a titan had ripped out a chunk of the land.
Chunks of soil peeled away from the base and tumbled down like rain, splashing against the ground and sending shockwaves outward.
