Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 412: Starving to Death

"Boom!"

A small, shriveled old man was violently kicked away, blood spraying across the ground. After rolling several times, he finally came to a stop, twitching a few times before going completely still.

"Oh?" Kaguya gracefully walked over, planting her heel on his back. With a swift kick, she flipped his body over and stared down at him curiously. "Already dead?"

Matou Zouken's body was a wreck. Bones broken, blood seeping through his tattered clothes, his grotesque, skele...

Chapter 411: The Power of Creation

Zouken Matou whipped around, his ancient, shriveled face twisted in shock. His cold, calculating eyes widened as they locked onto the silver-haired girl approaching him from a distance.

Kaguya, as cold as ice, her starry pupils gleaming with ethereal light, strode forward. Each step of her high heels clicked sharply against the ground, the pressure around her intensifying. The swarm of insects sent to attack her disintegrated into dust before they could even reach her, falling to the gr...

Chapter 410: The Awkwardness of Projection

Kaguya's eyes snapped open, and within her pupils, star-shaped patterns emerged, glowing with a mysterious light. Wherever her gaze landed, black flames erupted in an instant, spreading rapidly throughout the swarm of insects. The crackling of the flames echoed, accompanied by the revolting stench of burning flesh as the swarm was engulfed.

Her ocular power, enhanced after merging with the mysterious stone, had undergone a strange transformation. The stars within her eyes were now more ...

Chapter 148: The Power of Creation

Liliana did not immediately respond to Luo Hao's question. Instead, she looked down at Eriri, seeking her approval.

Sensing Liliana's gaze, Eriri lifted her head from Luo Hao's chest, gave Liliana a nod, then once again buried her face into the soft, ample bosom.

Receiving Eriri's permission, Liliana didn't hide anything and directly explained to Luo Hao how she became a Campione.

"You're right, it was thanks to my master, Eriri-sama, that I had the chance to become a Campio...

Chapter 147: The Girl-Next-Door, Luo Hao?!

The news that the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains's leader, Luo Hao, and the Witenagemot Speaker's Princess Alice were heading to Italy to visit the two new Godslayers quickly spread among the various factions. Soon, Erica and Liliana also heard about it.

Compared to Princess Alice, however, everyone's attention was focused on Luo Hao. Even though Alice was the former chairwoman of the Witenagemot and the niece of a British duke, she seemed insignificant in the eyes of a Campione.

Chapter 116: It’s Me!

Leaving the nighttime daycare, Yui Yuigahama was preparing to head back to her family's cake shop with her younger sister, Yuka.

"Say goodbye to your Kotomi-nee," Yui reminded Yuka.

"Goodbye, Kotomi-nee! If you have free time over the weekend, please come play with me!" Yuka waved her chubby little hand as she said goodbye to her 'penguin sister.'

"Alright, I'll come visit if I have time. Bye-bye." Izumi Kotomi smiled as she waved back, before heading toward the train s...

Chapter 115: The Special 'Little Friend'

"So, Kotomi, you're heading to the train station? No wonder! Normally after school, you're always walking home with Megumi," Yui Yuigahama said with a smile.

"If I didn't have to suddenly go to Chiyoda District, I'd still be walking home with Megumi right now, and then we'd stop by the Dango Cake Shop to buy some cake."

"Aww, that's such a shame! My family's cake shop just lost two big customers without realizing it," Yui joked with a mock sigh.

Kotomi and Megumi had pr...

Chapter 114: Fast Forward to Snuggling?

Izumi Aimi loved being hugged by her sister. When she was younger, it was like a child asking for affection, but as she grew into a beautiful young lady, her once playful requests for hugs now carried an extra layer of emotion.

Kotomi originally intended to lift Aimi up in the usual way, as if hugging a child, but before she could act...

A rich, elegant scent of rose filled her nose, and two soft arms wrapped around her. Kotomi's body instantly tensed up, reacting instinctively. 2024-09-20 14:32:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 409: The Old Bug

If Kaguya's memory served her correctly, the grand mansion before her was none other than the Matou family estate, home to the Matou family's infamous patriarch, Zouken Matou. This mansion had been inhabited by the Matou lineage for generations.

Kaguya stood still for a moment, piecing things together. If this was indeed the Matou mansion, she turned her gaze to the timid, shivering girl by her side.

Could this girl be Matou Sakura, or rather, Tohsaka Sakura?

Kaguya...

Chapter 408: The Wild Loli

Standing in front of Kaguya was an adorable little girl with light purple hair that shimmered with a soft glow. Her silky hair was tied into a beautiful red ribbon on the left side. Her features were delicate, like a porcelain doll—long, finely shaped eyebrows, large and sparkling eyes, and skin as smooth as ivory. Though small and childlike, her body had the early hints of a youthful curve.

"Are you hungry?" the purple-haired girl asked gently, offering a warm smile. "If you don't mi...

Chapter 407: The Heroic Spirit Amidst the Unexpected

Kaguya's seemingly light punch had the impact of a boulder. The orange-haired youth felt as though his internal organs had been knocked out of place, and he was close to blacking out from the sheer force of the hit.

How could such a delicate, pretty little girl possess such immense strength?

It felt like he'd been hit by an elephant, and even now, he was struggling to catch his breath, his entire body drenched in sweat. The chill from the wind only made him feel colder, as if his ...

Chapter 205: Merraid Oarburgh

Trouble.

The sultry, seductive female voice approaching from afar sent shivers down Najasho's spine. Any delusions of victory or a potential counterattack vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling sense of dread.

The Oarburgh Assassination Group was named after the mythical figure "Oarburgh," the god of death in ancient legends. Its history was steeped in countless infamous assassinations, and its motto was simple: they accepted any job, regardless of morality, as long as the...

Chapter 204: Fierce Battle

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the ground beneath Babara's feet erupted, sending dust flying in all directions as her towering figure charged through the forest like a raging storm.

Crack!

A massive tree, thick enough that it would take ten people to encircle it, shattered under the force of Babara's powerful impact.

A figure was sent hurtling through the air, crashing into the trees, each one snapping like twigs upon impact. The blast from the col...

Chapter 203: Everyone Has Their Own Reasons for Holding On

"Isn't that a pity?" Taeko asked, her brow furrowing. "Gozuki is high up in the Empire's Assassination Unit. If he makes it back and brings reinforcements, all this freedom we've enjoyed so far could disappear. We've only been able to move this openly because the Empire's local defense forces have been so useless..."

Babara scoffed, her hunched figure radiating a menacing air. "That strike won't kill him outright, but the slow-acting poison on the blade will ensure he suffers. Even with...

Chapter 146: Princess Alice

After successfully defeating Sun Wukong and securing Liliana's ascension as a Campione, Eriri and her group were in high spirits. As they prepared to leave Kyoto, Liliana expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Eriri.

"Master, I've succeeded. Thank you so much!" Liliana's eyes sparkled with admiration as she knelt before Eriri, radiating a powerful aura that signified her new status as a god-slayer.

"Campione powers sure are wild," Shinobu muttered, feeling the immense energy emanati...

Chapter 145: The Monkey King Who Exited at Light Speed

After successfully absorbing the Villains Chat Group, Eriri lifted the barrier she had placed around the planet and chose to leave the dazed Godou Kusanagi behind. For Eriri and her companions, the original protagonist of the story was nothing more than a passing character.

With the most important task in the Campione world now complete, Eriri, in a joyful mood, continued her leisurely stroll toward Kyoto, holding little Shinobu in her arms while Liliana and Athena walked alongside them...

Chapter 113: Cherish Life, Stay Away from the Hatchet!

After returning to her room, Izumi Kotomi turned on her computer and began working on the second chapter of Chainsaw Man, titled "Where Pochita Went."

Weekly Shonen Jump requires new content every week, so as the saying goes: "With drafts in hand, you can game without fear."

In order to balance a future life of writing novels, drawing manga, and still having time to play games, Kotomi decided to start cultivating a good habit—getting ahead on her drafts. 2024-09-19 12:44:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 112: A Slightly Strange Candy

After dropping Shiina Mashiro off at the teacher's office and meeting Chisato Sengoku, Izumi Kotomi turned around to leave.

However, before she left, Chisato handed Kotomi a bag of candy.

Kotomi didn't hesitate and accepted the candy with a smile, then headed out of the main school building, only to run into Kato Megumi on the way.

As the two walked home together, Kotomi pulled out the candy bag Chisato had given her and asked, "It's from Sengoku-sensei. Want to try some?" 2024-09-19 12:43:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 111: Mashiro's Little Wish

Upon hearing Rena Tatsuya's explanation, Asuka Chizuru finally began to piece everything together.

"So, this Izumi Ki who submitted Chainsaw Man shares the same pen name as an incredibly popular new author from Dengeki Bunko?"

"That seems to be the case for now, but whether it's the same person or just a coincidence is something you'll have to ask Izumi Ki directly when you meet them," Rena said with a smile.

"Got it, I'll make sure to ask when the time comes,"...

Chapter 406: Robbed By a Loli

Under the pitch-black night sky, stars dotted the heavens, with a crescent moon casting a faint silver glow across the world. Its soft, cold light illuminated the figure of a silver-haired loli—no, the silver-haired girl, Kaguya.

Kaguya sighed heavily. After all the years of hard work, she felt like she had been sent back to square one. Now that she had entered the real world as a Heroic Spirit, her powers were naturally constrained. The Holy Grail War was originally a competition bet...

Chapter 405: New Abilities

"What a strange dream," Kaguya muttered as she slowly got up from the ground. Her head still felt a bit hazy, so she rubbed her temples, trying to shake off the lingering drowsiness.

She had just dreamt of returning home, where she encountered two mischievous children—an odd dream that left her feeling puzzled. It had been a while since she last had any dreams, and to have one so bizarre now made her wonder if she had been too relaxed recently.

But, strangely enough, the dream h...

Chapter 404: The Punished Loli

A dazzling beam of crimson light shot forth, radiating an intimidating aura and distorting the surrounding space with its immense energy, showcasing its terrifying power.

After the twin-tailed girl unleashed the attack, a flicker of regret crossed her mind—had she gone too far? What if the person in front of her actually died from the blow?

But then she recalled how Kaguya had snatched her dango, and her anger flared up again. This person had the audacity to steal her snacks—s...

Chapter 202: The Night Before the Great Battle

"Akame, are you sure you're okay? You're clearly injured—why not just stay and rest?" Cornelia, the leader of the "Elite Seven" of the Assassination Unit, asked with concern.

"Yeah, Akame, maybe you should head back..." added Green, adjusting his glasses.

"Huh? I'm fine, just hungry... I really want some meat..." Akame replied, rubbing her belly with a blank expression.

"Fine, have it your way." Cornelia parted the bushes in front of her, spotting a large wild boar across ...

Chapter 201: Gozuki's Surrender

"Ambushed by the southern rebel army?" Selene raised an eyebrow and gestured to an empty seat beside the dining table, indicating that Gozuki should sit down and explain further.

"Thank you, General..."

Seeing that Selene was willing to listen, Gozuki quickly stood up, not even bothering to sit as he hurriedly explained, "There's a traitor within the Empire aiding the rebels, leaking information about the whereabouts of the Assassination Unit. I barely escaped with my life, and I ...

Chapter 200: Honest, How I Hate You!

Imperial Capital, Palace City, Imperial Guard Headquarters

"In recent years, as one of the Empire's only two highly influential generals, hasn't General Selene been a bit too relaxed?" Honest sat across from Selene at her desk, wiping his greasy hands as he spoke, his mouth full of oil.

"Titles like these aren't worth worrying about... More money, less work, closer to home, with high rank and little responsibility," Selene replied, her lips curling into a smile as...

Chapter 144: Reclaiming the Villains Chat Group

After spending about half an hour at the Shrine, Eriri and her group finally said their goodbyes, leaving behind a reluctant Yuri and her sister, Hikari. They were set to stroll leisurely from Tokyo to Kyoto, with no rush in mind. As for how Yuri would report back to the History Compilation Committee, Eriri didn't care—any headaches would be theirs to deal with.

It was almost 10 AM by the time they left the shrine. The streets were busier than when they arrived, with more vehicles and...

Chapter 143: Beautiful Girls Don't Use the Bathroom!

Since it was the weekend, Yuri Mariya, being a high school student, didn't have to worry about missing school just because she invited Eriri and her companions for breakfast. Following Yuri's lead, they arrived at the rural Shrine, and by this time, it was already past eight o'clock, the perfect time for breakfast.

As they entered the shrine, a cheerful voice called out, "Onee-chan, welcome back."

A young girl with short brown hair, who bore a striking resemblance to Yuri, stood b...

Chapter 110: Who Is This?

The manga editors all gathered around, clearly interested in the manuscript. This wasn't surprising.

Although Weekly Shonen Jump still remained the pinnacle of the shonen manga industry, with several major series recently concluded, Shueisha had been feeling the pressure from industry competition.

In the short term, their strategy had often been to rely on these pillar series by having their creators occasionally "reheat the leftovers"—producing sequels, spin-offs,...

Chapter 109: Pochita, So Cute!

The math teacher often says, "What's most important? The process!"

Asuka Chizuru originally thought she'd get a good look at a fight scene in the opening pages, but Izumi Ki took an abrupt turn. One page set up a battle, and by the next, the Tomato Devil was already lying in a pool of blood.

The pacing of Chainsaw Man was erratic—sometimes slow, sometimes fast—but the unpredictability was what made it stand out. One moment, everything seemed warm and hopeful, and...

Chapter 108: Asuka Chizuru's Little Question Mark

Upon hearing that the phone call was from an editor at Shueisha, Kotomi Izumi felt a slight lift in her heart. It seemed her submission of Chainsaw Man had received a response.

"Yes, this is Izumi Ki," she confirmed.

On the other end of the line, Asuka Chizuru , the editor from Shueisha, sighed in relief. Thankfully, the contact information was correct.

Editors often encountered the frustrating situation where a talented manga submission was left without a way ...
