Night had fallen, and the three members of the Nara family were seated at the dinner table.
Shikamaru and Shikadai exchanged a glance. They both noticed that the food tonight tasted off—it was either too salty or too bland. But seeing the expression on Temari's face, the father and son dared not comment.
Resigned, they dipped their tempura into the miso soup to balance the saltiness, making it just palatable enough to eat.
"I…"
Temari thought of the words Yoichi ha...

Boom—
As fuel was injected, the mechanical device roared to life, and flames shot fiercely out of the nozzle.
"Whoa, that's some serious firepower..."
At this moment, Eden confirmed that the contraption was indeed a mechanical stove.
It had even been retrofitted from an assault ship's engine.
"Due to time constraints, we only performed basic modifications to allow the tests to proceed," Moss explained.
Eden nodded, continuing to watch Plu, curious to see ...

The 20th day of the beta test arrived quickly.
The highest-level players had already reached the 35th floor, with Dak and his two companions leading the charge as the top players at Lv.43.
Most other beta testers were still stuck on floors 28 or 29, while the upper floors had been cleared almost entirely by Madara and Izuna.
Since the incident on the 25th floor, where both brothers underestimated the boss and were instantly killed by its earthquake attack, they had begun tak...

The foundation of the Infinite Tsukuyomi world lay in the real "Hagoromo Gensou."
Once Gensou entered this world, he naturally became its protagonist, deeply intertwining his existence with its fabric.
Only in this way could he experience everything within it.
And the deeper the bonds, the deeper the immersion.
As for the original protagonist of the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, it was precisely this sense of abandonment and deprivation that bred their intense hatred towar...

"No problem," Robin said calmly as she summoned two floating swords before Kid and Law.
"What kind of ability is this? Is it similar to my metal manipulation?" Kid asked in confusion. He couldn't fathom Robin's power, knowing that no two Devil Fruits in the world had identical abilities.
"That's a secret. Now, get moving," Robin replied with a composed smile.
Cautiously, Kid stepped onto the floating sword, followed by Law. Robin then controlled the swords, guiding them towa...

If Messiah truly possessed such power, wouldn't the battle against that dark god have been far less challenging? Surely, he could have obliterated his opponent effortlessly.
Two thousand kilometers—such an impact would surpass even the mightiest nuclear warhead. If this were true, wouldn't Messiah essentially be a colossal humanoid nuclear bomb?
A being of flesh and blood releasing light across two thousand kilometers?
Furthermore, they were all aware that Messiah's light ...

Upon noticing the impossibly fine yet unbelievably strong and sharp silver threads cutting through his high-strength alloy armor, disbelief filled his face.
This wasn't scientifically possible.

Venom? Symbiotes?
Logan glanced at the others and saw the same hesitation reflected on their faces. With a shrug, he extended his hand...

Dak casually threw his arm around Kirito's neck, as if they were long-time friends.

His self-awareness, his genuine sense of individuality, likely only emerged when the real Hagoromo Gensou stepped ...
