Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 153: Sakura’s Progress

Although Chika Fujiwara had told her about the chat group before she joined, Kaguya Shinomiya was still a bit unclear about its specific functions.

After spending some time, Kaguya Shinomiya thoroughly familiarized herself with the chat group and finally realized how powerful it was.

She then browsed through most of the memory videos in the chat group, especially those related to herself, though these didn't have much impact on her.

To her, these memory videos were like TV d...

Chapter 125: Can We Really Not Study Together? Yeah, Right!

"Kotomi! Help me!"

The moment Izumi Kotomi entered the classroom, she was met with a desperate plea from Yui Yuigahama, who looked like a deflated balloon, her face full of despair.

Hearing that all-too-familiar cry for help, Kotomi immediately knew—Yui had forgotten to do her homework again!

"Don't panic, Yui. I've got you covered!"

Kotomi casually pulled out her completed homework from her bag.

"Ahhh, Kotomi, you're my angel! Thank you! I only remembered this...

Chapter 124: Leave It to Onee-chan!

The beloved weekend for students had come to an end.

This also signified the arrival of dreaded Monday and the beginning of another five-day school week!

Even though she was reluctant, when the alarm rang, Izumi Kotomi obediently got up, changed into her uniform, ate breakfast, and got ready for school.

As she went downstairs to the kitchen, she noticed that her younger sister, Izumi Aimi, was already eating breakfast.

Being in the third year of middle school meant the...

Chapter 123: Two Talented Juniors, Yet Somehow Unreliable

Izumi Kotomi was momentarily stunned before responding:

"I've been racking my brain, but I still haven't decided yet."

To be honest, it wasn't that she hadn't made up her mind; it was more like she hadn't even thought about it since Friday. If it weren't for Hibiki Naegi calling her, she might not have remembered about the art contest until Monday.

"Sigh… I had a feeling. That's why I called to check in on you. Mashiro's already started drawing, and I've decided on my them...

Chapter 419: Kaguya = Treasure?

The sky had darkened, and night had fallen. The vast sky was dotted with scattered stars, and amidst the misty clouds, a blood-red full moon hung high, as if foretelling something.

A cool evening breeze brushed against the silver-haired loli standing on the balcony. Her flowing silver hair swayed gently in the wind, and her clear, water-like eyes gazed into the distance at the rare sight of the red moon, her thoughts deep and contemplative.

Earlier that afternoon, she had sensed a...

Chapter 418: Everyone Harbors Evil Intentions

As Tokiomi Tohsaka left with Kirei Kotomine following close behind, Kaguya's lips curled into a mocking smile.

As expected of Kirei Kotomine, his acting was flawless. If Kaguya didn't already know him inside and out, she might have been fooled.

That earlier palm strike? Kaguya had held back, despite its fierce force. It wasn't a true full-strength attack. She hadn't hit hard enough to instantly kill the Assassin, nor had she struck hard enough to seriously injure Kirei Kotomine wh...

Chapter 417: First Meeting with Mapo

A man approached from a distance—short black hair, handsome features, sharp brows, and bright eyes, with a face chiseled like a knife. He was dressed entirely in black: a black suit, black pants, and black shoes. His posture was upright, like a flagpole, and the ornament on his chest stood out prominently.

If Kaguya wasn't mistaken, this man should be none other than Kirei Kotomine, the "Priest."

He didn't yet have the depth or maturity he would later acquire, still appearing so...

Chapter 214: Danger! Tyrant, a Grave Threat!

"The super danger creature—Tyrant was one of the specific materials selected by the First Emperor for the creation of Teigu…"

Dr. Stylish paused his animated explanation and quickly rummaged through the messy drawers of his desk, finally pulling out a stack of old, coverless 'books.'

He then deftly extracted a few well-worn pages from within and handed them to Selene one by one. "General, these are what I found in the archives of the Imperial Science Bureau's headquarters in t...

Chapter 213: Major Development and Breakthrough

Imperial Northern Region, Habsburg Province, Imperial Science Bureau Branch.

By the Imperial Year 1022, Dr. Stylish's experimental workshop and its affiliated weapons factory were essentially completed.

Although it was still nominally referred to as a "branch" of the Imperial Science Bureau, in practice, whether in terms of manpower, material resources, funding, or even the research strength of its personnel, the Northern Branch had far surpassed the main Imperial...

Chapter 212: The Target is Najenda’s Head

Walking out of the palace-style dining room, Gozuki and his six disciples all wore dazed expressions, as if they had narrowly escaped death.

The lingering sensation of being torn apart constantly reminded Gozuki of what he had just faced.

That aura—so terrifying it made one's soul tremble—made Gozuki realize just how laughable his previous plan had been.

Under Honest's orders, Gozuki had calculated the power gap between himself and Selene, planning to use [Murasame]'s cu...

Chapter 152: The Ownership of the Invitation Letter

[Kanae Kocho (Level 3, Stage 9): I have no objections. Whatever you decide is fine.]

[Arifureta (Level 4, Stage 2/Group Leader): I don't have any objections either.]

[Yuuki Asuna (Level 3, Stage 3): +1]

[Elaina (Level 3, Stage 7): +1]

[Lala (Level 6, Stage 8): +1]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 3, Stage 5): +1]

[…]

Nobody had any objections to Eriri's arrangements. In fact, even if Eriri had decided to handle the distribution of resources in the chat group ...

Chapter 151: Gabriel Is a Tsundere?

After sending the red envelope, Eriri's points balance instantly dropped by 8.4 billion. She planned to use the remaining points to occasionally send welfare in the group or give rewards when members went live.

For her, points were just a number without any actual use. If she wanted more, she believed Little Skirt (Kozue) would provide them without hesitation.

After a brief moment of silence, the chat group became lively again.

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 5): Not too much, not to...

Chapter 122: Aimi: I’ll Make You Admit It Eventually!

After finishing breakfast, Kotomi spent the entire morning completing her weekend homework.

She wondered if Yui had finished hers yet…

Well, if not, Kotomi could always let her copy it on Monday morning. She was used to it by now.

The rain outside grew heavier as Kotomi walked to the window and pulled back the curtains. What had been a light drizzle had turned into a full-on downpour, with gusts of wind howling through the streets.

She loved rainy days like this, whe...

Chapter 121: A Wonderful Night

After playing a few more rounds of Dead Cells, Kotomi noticed that it was getting late—time for bed. While she wasn't someone who strictly followed early-to-bed routines, she still understood the importance of a good night's sleep.

Rubbing her eyes, she turned to her sister, who was sitting in her lap, and said, "Aimi, are you still playing? If not, go back to your room and sleep. I'm going to bed too."

There was no response.

Aimi had slumped against Kotomi's ches...

Chapter 120: Two-Player Game

Izumi Kotomi was halfway through drawing her manga when she set down her stylus.

Time for a break!

"I've been working on this manga for so long today. I deserve to reward myself with a bit of gaming."

After saving the second chapter, she stood up and headed to the kitchen to grab a can of cola. What could be better suited for a Friday night than playing games while sipping on a cold soda?

For Kotomi, the answer was clear—nothing.

She went downstairs, grabbed a ...

Chapter 211: Sending a Grand Gift to Najenda

"Do you know why the local defense forces of the western province remained passive, completely ignoring your calls for help?"

"There's some very interesting news… I think I should share it with you."

This was just a sudden idea that popped into Selene's mind, not some elaborate scheme. After all, she wasn't the type to obsess over such things like a lunatic all day long.

In the original story, after most of the elite members of the Imperial Assassination Unit were lost dur...

Chapter 210: Alyssa, Did You Forget Something?

As she absorbed more and more of the memories, the smile on Selene's lips became harder to conceal.

"Leiva, I've got some interesting news for you. It seems that General Najenda has been meeting and collaborating with these rebels, even forging documents. This smells like treason…"

Having obtained the information she needed, Selene waved her hand, covering the corpses with the white cloth again, and stood up, leading Leiva out of the warehouse.

"Miss, do you need your old ...

Chapter 209: I’m Not a Necrophiliac!

"So... so powerful! Father, who is she?"

Watching in astonishment as Alyssa effortlessly wiped out the Oarburgh Assassination team members like a cat playing with a mouse, Tsukushi couldn't help but tremble slightly in her tone.

"Oh, she's the... um, the head maid of General Selene?"

Oh man, if even a head maid is this strong, does that mean that personal butler named Sebas is also a powerhouse?

Shaking his head to clear his stray thoughts, Gozuki smiled wryly. Luckily...

Chapter 416: The Ridiculous Ability Parameters

"Tax evasion?" Tokiomi Tohsaka was momentarily stunned by the word, feeling somewhat perplexed.

"Ah, it's nothing," Kaguya waved her hand nonchalantly, stood up, and smiled as she said, "There really isn't much of a purpose. If I had to say, maybe it's because I find it interesting. Also, rest assured, I have no interest in the calamity of the Root that you're concerned about, and I won't do anything as boring and tedious as that."

"If that's how you feel, then I will respect your...

Chapter 415: Written as Tax Evasion, Read as Joy

Standing at the doorway was none other than the head of the Tohsaka family, Tokiomi Tohsaka .

"So late at night, coming to see me—what's the matter?" Kaguya turned around, sat on a chair nearby, and crossed her legs as she spoke.

She was very interested in his daughters and wouldn't mind a little side story with them, but when it came to him, she'd rather not bother.

"I apologize for disturbing you at such a late hour," Tokiomi Tohsaka walked over gracefully and smiled as ...

Chapter 414: Mirror Flower, Water Moon

What is happiness? Perhaps different people have different answers, but at this moment, Kaguya's happiness was finally being able to eat a full meal. Even if someone were to offer her mountains of gold and silver in exchange, she wouldn't agree. She hadn't felt the sensation of being hungry in a long time, and that burning, maddening feeling could drive anyone insane.

On that note, Kaguya wondered if it was because she was starving, but the food at the Tohsaka household was unexpectedly...

Chapter 150: Ten Billion Points

It seemed that the chat members were making up for the past seven days when they couldn't chat. They were energetically sending messages, causing the chat to scroll at a rapid pace.

Moreover, since sending messages didn't require typing, it was all done through telepathy. While thinking might take time, sending a message every second was still quite easy.

After the chat group was upgraded, its level even surpassed Eriri's slightly. However, despite this, the chat group still could...

Chapter 149: The Chat Group Restarts

Luo Hao floated quietly in midair, slightly lost in thought as she gazed at the dust-covered ground. Since she couldn't sense Eriri's aura at all, she had no idea if her attack had affected Eriri in any way.

Shinobu and the others also floated far away in midair, using their respective techniques. They clicked their tongues at the destruction caused by Luo Hao, though none of them worried about Eriri's safety. The only thing they were curious about was whether Luo Hao's attack had damag...

Chapter 119: The Lover of Miss Rena

When Izumi Kaneyoshi took the contract and looked at it, his face immediately showed an expression of disbelief:

"It's actually a contract with Shueisha?! Kotomi, you really know how to surprise us."

In Japan, many boys grew up reading Weekly Shonen Jump, and Kaneyoshi was no exception, so he was quite familiar with Shueisha.

From writing light novels for Dengeki Bunko to drawing manga for Shueisha, Kotomi Izumi constantly brought surprises and amazement to tho...

Chapter 118: What Haven’t I Seen Before?

When Izumi Kotomi was asked this, she didn't feel too surprised. After all, when she decided to use the same pen name to submit her manga, she had anticipated this situation.

"That's right, Sword Art Online was also written by me," Kotomi admitted openly, not wanting to explain too much.

She even took out her phone and opened her author dashboard on Dengeki Bunko's official website to show Asuka Chizuru.

"So impressive."

Though just three simple words, th...

Chapter 117: A Promising Future!

Before this, the youngest mangaka at Shueisha was twenty years old.

Now, with Izumi Kotomi's debut, she had broken that record.

"I didn't expect you to just be starting high school, Miss Izumi... I thought you were cosplaying with that JK uniform," Asuka Chizuru said awkwardly.

When she first saw Kotomi in her high school uniform, she assumed it was a cosplay or perhaps just a fashion preference for JK-style clothing.

But no—it wasn't cosplay. Kotomi was a genuine hi...

Chapter 208: The Great General Wants to See You

Ten minutes earlier.

Under the night sky, Alyssa floated in the sky over the southern banks of the White Wolf River, with Gozuki at her side.

"Gozuki, didn't your students head south? Why haven't we found them yet? Could they already be dead?" Alyssa asked casually.

"They won't be, Lady Alyssa. It's only been two days. I have faith in my disciples..." Gozuki replied confidently.

"Based on what I know, they might still be hiding on the western banks of ...

Chapter 207: Hello, Everyone, My Name Is Alyssa

"Ground Thrust!"

"Ahhhhh————!!!"

At this moment, Guy activated the over-limit release of his Shingu, [Rare Suit], pushing beyond his physical strength and drawing on his very life force!

Pfft!

Blood spurted from his seven orifices, his blood vessels ruptured, and in the blink of an eye, Guy's body was reduced to a bloody mess. But even so, with his helmet shattered, the bloodshot eyes that remained were still bright and filled with res...

Chapter 206: Merraid's Hunt

"...I'm coming for you..."

Though Merraid's gaze was filled with lust, and her voice was soft and seductive, devoid of any killing intent, in that instant, Najasho felt his entire body tremble. The dragonization effect of the Water-Dragon Sword had granted him a heightened sixth sense, and the overwhelming feeling of being targeted by a super-danger beast was one he'd never forget.

Run! We need to flee right now, or we'll all die.

Casting aside his pride, Najasho sh...

Chapter 413: Tokiomi Tohsaka

A voice echoed from afar, though no one appeared to greet them. It seemed to be some kind of magical transmission device.

Kaguya recalled that in the original Fate/Zero series, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't seem to be a fan of modern electronics. Instead, he had a particular fondness for older, more traditional items—perhaps due to distrust of modern technology or the pride of a mage who believed magic alone could solve everything.

Kaguya couldn't quite understand it. To ...
