Due to the impact of the meteor, a huge circular crater appeared in what was once a vast and lush forest, resembling a giant volcanic crater. The soil inside the crater had crystallized due to the intense heat.
Around the crater, the dense forest was leveled to the ground, revealing a scarred landscape stretching for kilometers. The raging fires had been extinguished, but sparks and wisps of smoke still rose faintly into the air.
In this catastrophic event, over five thousand nort...

A dazzling light pierced the night sky, turning the dark sky bright as day in an instant, followed by a deafening boom echoing through the heavens. The earth shook violently as rocks on the ground shattered, sending debris flying everywhere. The shockwave, mixed with powerful gusts of wind, swept across the landscape like a tsunami, destroying everything in its path.
When people opened their eyes, they were stunned by the scene before them. A kilometer-wide crater appeared where the met...

"What have you decided? Do you want to go somewhere else to hang out?" Kiyo Ishimaki took a sip of the milk tea she was holding and asked Eriri and Megumi Kato with a tentative tone.
Perhaps because Megumi Kato's presence was slightly enhanced by Eriri's strengthening of her body, she was not ignored by Kiyo Ishimaki and Azusa Satomi when they returned.
"No, let's end it here for today. Megumi-chan and I have something we need to take care of, but there will be plenty of chances f...

A new day had begun. The "only Kuroko gets hurt" day had passed, and Shirai Kuroko had resumed her daily routine of going on duty for Judgment.
This was something Selene found regrettable. She felt that without Shirai Kuroko around, her motivation for fun had diminished considerably, as there was no entertainment to watch.
Today was uneventful, and Selene had returned to her routine of traveling between school, the research institute, and the manor.
It was truly boring. Sele...

The Next Day.
"Ah... the meal yesterday was so satisfying... right, Kuroko? Kuroko?"
Under the strong sunlight, a chestnut-haired girl lazily yawned. Although the hot weather made one feel unmotivated, the thought of having hot pot with everyone yesterday instantly lifted her spirits.
Behind her, a girl with tea-colored twin tails responded simply with a "hmm," then frowned deeply again, unusually silent and lost in heavy thought.
These two were Misaka Mikoto and Shira...

Blood splattered everywhere.
With a loud "clang," the giant axe fell to the ground, and Ted's muscular right arm flew into the air, with blood instantly gushing out like a mist.
"Ahhh!"
The intense pain made Ted scream uncontrollably. He clutched his shoulder tightly with his left hand where his right arm was missing. His face no longer showed the arrogance it once did, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Is she even human? Does she not know fatigue at all?

The foreign soldiers, relentless and ceaseless, surged like a rushing tide, waving their sharp spears and swords, shouting loudly as they charged toward Kaguya. To them, capturing a fragile girl seemed effortless. They thought it would be fortunate if she didn't cry out of fear. Sending so many to deal with her seemed like overkill.
However, they did not realize that the girl before them was not some delicate maiden they could trample over but a goddess of death who emerged from a sea o...

Under the gentle moonlight, a stunning silver-haired girl gracefully approached. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like the rippling autumn waters, and her shoulders slender. Her graceful figure was light and elegant, and though she wore no makeup, she appeared even more radiant and charming.

This was indeed Kaguya's imperial guard.
Due to the need for a large number of soldiers to guard the border, the checkpoints and sentry posts within the territory also required soldiers for surveillance, and the princess's palace required a garrison for protection. Therefore, Kaguya could only bring about five hundred soldiers this time.
However, Kaguya was not going out to fight a war, merely to inspect the territory, and with her formidable strength, she feared no demons or ghos...

As the evening approached and the sun began to set, students who had been engaged in group activities began to head home.
A Tokiwadai student had just bid farewell to a friend and took a shortcut for speed. At this moment, the shortcut was deserted and appeared somewhat empty.
In a nearby alley, a girl with buns and side bangs watched the lone Tokiwadai student, ready to activate her ability and follow.
Suddenly, a glowing purple portal appeared beneath the girl's feet, caus...

Tokiwadai Middle School Bathhouse.
Due to the sudden turn of events, and with no spare clothes available, Shirai Kuroko had no choice but to lend a Tokiwadai school uniform to Saten Ruiko from her own collection.
Seeing Saten Ruiko wearing a Tokiwadai uniform, Uiharu Kazari's face was full of displeasure. How should one put it? She had a somewhat dissatisfied expression. "It's unfair that only Saten-san gets to wear it."

For Kakine Teitoku, the physical enhancement and damage repair were just bonuses.

Indeed, while Honkai Energy does not directly enhance superpowers, it can improve overa...
