After a brief exchange, Lofan, having activated the Chess Master talent, had roughly gauged Navia's skill level. He began deliberately leaving openings in his strategy.
These openings weren't meant for Navia's benefit, but for the three figures behind her.
As expected, Lyney's eyes lit up at Lofan's move. However, Navia failed to play the move Lyney had anticipated before the time limit expired, leaving him deeply disappointed.
Had Navia seen through Lofan's feint, she would...

"Well, I should head back now."
On the main road, Qin Yu bid farewell to Shenhe. Despite the day's chaotic events, it was finally coming to an end. Why does something always happen whenever I try to rest?
As Qin Yu pondered this, Shenhe spoke:
"Actually, you're welcome to stay at my place tonight. I wouldn't mind at all."
I would mind, Qin Yu thought to herself. If I stayed at Shenhe's, who knows what might happen? My disheveled appearance would b...

Night fell.
Charlotte adjusted her Kamera, glancing at the clock in her peripheral vision.
Tick-tock... The hour hand pointed to ten.
Haven't they arrived yet?
Neither Black Cat nor White Cat had appeared. What exactly was the time stated in Phantom Thief White Cat's announcement? She pondered the contents of the card.
Suddenly, the lights went out.
Charlotte snapped to attention, noticing the Special Task Force members exchanging...

Perhaps because the Robin currently singing in the Dragon Nation was her, and the Sparkle witnessing the bombing firsthand in the Sakura Nation was also her, the stark contrast between these simultaneous realities felt almost surreal.
Soon, Sparkle arrived near the bombing site. Of course, her main body had disembarked halfway there, and a clone was now driving.
Initially, as she approached the area, Sparkle could still see large numbers of refugees fleeing along the streets. But ...

"Huff... huff..." The Doctor sprinted wildly, gasping for breath, his tongue lolling out, saliva spraying.
He couldn't afford to be picky. For a man past fifty, running like this was already pushing his body to its absolute limit.

"Over here!"
"Take this path!"
The last soldier led the way. The entire research base looked like it had been washed in blood. Everywhere they passed was littered with gore and corpses.
It was undeniably terrifying, bu...

"One, two, three..."
"Rock!"
"Scissors!"
Two clones were playing rock-paper-scissors, and it was clear the "Rock" clone was about to win.
"Sorry, brother!" Without hesitation, the "Rock" clone raised his assault rifle and unleashed a hail of bullets into the other clone.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
He emptied the entire magazine, leaving behind only a blood-soaked corpse riddled with bullet holes.
The victorious clone moved on to challenge another c...

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Nation, Robin gently ran her fingers through her soft, silky pale blue hair, savoring the feel of the strands sliding between her fingertips. She then glanced in the mirror and braided it into her signature hairstyle from the game.
Having lived as a girl for over four months, styling her hair had become second nature. However, makeup remained a daunting challenge. Robin sat rigidly upright, legs pressed together, hands resting in her lap, patiently awaiting the ...

Qin Yu woke up in the late afternoon. Before long, dusk began to settle in.
Logically, she should have started preparing to head back by now.
But Shenhe asked, "Could you stay a little longer?"
Stay longer? Qin Yu found the request odd. Why would she want me to stay? Still, if it was just for a little while, it couldn't hurt...
"Mm, since you asked, Shenhe, I'll stay a bit longer," Qin Yu said with a smile. "I'd actually like to talk to you more anywa...

Unfortunately, Qin Yu succumbed to a deep, baby-like slumber in less than five minutes.
At first, she tried to keep herself awake by mentally reviewing mathematical formulas, but realizing they only made her drowsier, she switched to reciting literature.
However, when exhaustion sets in, the brain refuses to cooperate.
She would remember a word one moment, only to forget it the next. Soon, she couldn't recall anything at all, her mind reduced to chanting meaningless syllable...

Full and satisfied, Qin Yu felt drowsiness creeping in.
She shook her head to dispel the sleepiness, surprised that Shenhe's new friend still hadn't arrived. It was already getting late.
But it's awkward to ask directly. I'll be with Shenhe all day anyway. I'll meet them eventually.
The thought left Qin Yu feeling inexplicably annoyed. A new friend... Who could it be? It certainly doesn't seem like anyone I know.
Oh well, I'll find out soon enough...

It was supposed to be a holiday, but Qin Yu was stuck working overtime. Tomorrow, she had to accompany Shenhe, and after that, it was back to work. In other words, there was no rest for her this week.
Qin Yu trailed behind Ningguang, grumbling inwardly.
The day's work finally concluded late into the night. Perhaps it was just her bad luck, but Ningguang had an unusually heavy workload today, which inevitably spilled over onto Qin Yu as her personal attendant.
Fortunately, he...

"Go on, back where you came from," Sparkle said, snapping her fingers. The Driver in the passenger seat instantly snapped awake.
His eyes gradually cleared, and the first thing he saw was Sparkle herself—the adorable, twin-tailed girl standing right outside the car, snapping her fingers.
Then the Driver glanced to his left. In the driver's seat sat the scar-faced man he'd seen earlier, Yamada Shinji. Shinji, who was actually one of Sparkle's clones and had been driving the whole...

Whether it was the Deputy Director's constant refrain of "make yourself at home" or his offer to show Sparkle intelligence on the Dimensional Rifts, both were essentially attempts to win her over. His ultimate goal, of course, was to recruit this Outsider into their faction.
This could even be seen as a transaction. The Deputy Director's demand was for Sparkle to "treat this place like home." Now that her "home" was being invaded by other nations, wouldn't she feel compelled to lend a h...

Stepping into the Sakura Nation's Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, Sparkle immediately felt the oppressive atmosphere. Everyone wore a grim expression and hurried about their business. Despite the bureau's vast size, she hadn't heard a single word spoken in the minute she'd been there, only the rustling of documents being shuffled.
This was understandable, given that the Sakura Nation was at war. While not a military organization, the Bureau, as the official Evolver organization, was...

The next morning, Sparkle slowly sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. The white duvet slipped off her shoulders, exposing a large expanse of pale skin to the early morning sunlight.
Yes, she wasn't wearing pajamas. Robin didn't have any in her size, and there hadn't been time to go out and buy some. But it wasn't a big deal; she was just sleeping naked, and it was actually quite comfortable. (Thumbs up!)
After taking a few minutes to get dressed, she stepped barefoot on...

For the woman, the past few days had undoubtedly been a stroke of terrible luck. But the two men blocking the supermarket entrance were just as unfortunate.
They were brothers who had barely survived three grueling days in the Dimensional Rift. Upon returning to the main world, they discovered a burning plane had crashed into their house. The fire raged for three days, consuming everything they owned.
Their house, car, money, even their phones—all lost during their time in the R...

"Forget it," Sparkle muttered, pursing her lips. She crooked her index finger, and the man before her immediately pulled out his phone, removed the SIM card, and handed over all the cash he had on him.
Sparkle tilted her head slightly, scrutinizing him for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the young girl vanished, and two identical figures stood in the middle of the street.
See? Sparkle thought. How easy is it to get a temporary identity?
But before leaving...

A slightly cool autumn breeze swept through the air. Sparkle was wearing minimal clothing, leaving most of her skin exposed, yet she felt no chill.
She lowered her head and clenched her fist. This body was perhaps stronger than it appeared, possessing remarkable coordination and agility.
For instance, she felt she could effortlessly stand on one leg and raise the other until her foot touched her cheek.
Of course, feeling it was one thing; actually doing it was another. Spark...

Her gaze continued downward, landing on her slightly underdeveloped right breast, where a striking red, flower-like mark stood out.
Yes, underdeveloped. One glance was enough to confirm the stark contrast between her figure and those of Robin and Firefly. She could physically feel the difference too; her shoulders felt lighter, and the pressure had eased considerably.
Lost in thought, she instinctively placed her left hand on her chest, giving it a gentle pinch as she murmured, "H...

The contrast was stark. She remembered their last meeting, where the Wizard had used magic to project everyone's images, allowing them to confer face-to-face. Now, they were reduced to a simple phone call.

This was all she could do for now. After all, she wasn't a doctor and had no idea how to treat fractures.
Besides, Little Li's family was just one among ten million households in this city. Even if Firefly could help them, she couldn't possibly help everyone.

Lying on the bed was a pale-faced man, his left knee wrapped in blood-soaked bandages.

A thunderous roar echoed through the air, but Firefly's gaze remained fixed on the skeletal arm blocking her path, shielding Director Fujiwara. The arm was as unyielding as she had imagined.
Her kick shattered only the already cracked armor encasing the skeletal arm. The bone beneath, as pristine as white jade, remained utterly unscathed.
Normal attacks couldn't penetrate its defenses, and even 'Heavenly Fire' is useless? Firefly mused.
