Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 66: My Path Ahead, Unobstructed...

"Atlas."

"Atlas, the Titan..."

In the CEO office of the Central Headquarters building at the San Francisco Militech Industrial Park, Vela sat behind a luxurious, high-tech semi-circular desk, deep in thought.

At least, that's how it appeared to outsiders. If there had been others in the office...

She had already entered that vague yet clear and precise mystical state. A strange, shifting light slowly focused in her indigo irises.

She indexed the most vivid memory...

Chapter 147: Kiana—Light Wings, Unfold!!

"Come with me to the training room for a walk, Rita."

"Sure, Lord Elias."

After a satisfying meal, Elias decided to stroll over to St. Freya's training room. It was a great way to digest, and he could enjoy the view while he was at it.

Now, why would there be a beautiful view in the training room?

Well, Valkyries typically wear clothing that's practical for combat—battlesuits with speed and strength enhancements, but little concern for defense (not much fabric). When...

Chapter 729: I'm Just Here to Watch

A sword slash cut across the sky in an instant.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang through the heavens. The wall shattered with a tremendous crash, sending fragments flying in all directions, raising a cloud of dust. The clouds above seemed to be split in two, revealing the clear blue sky.

As the dust slowly cleared, the ruined Gate of Justice was revealed. It was covered in deep scars, and a massive, savage gash appeared in the middle. The exposed steel reinforcement...

Chapter 453: Shy Kotomi

When was the last time I kissed Megumi Kato?

Maybe I kiss her too often, because Kotomi Izumi couldn't even remember when the last kiss was. It felt like she and Megumi were always kissing, like it was a constant part of their relationship.

But it definitely wasn't in the three days she spent in Kyoto. Those three days without a kiss had been torturous for Megumi, and Kotomi felt the same way. Three days without kissing? That was too long for them.

When Megumi pulled Kotomi ...

Chapter 541: The Decision of the Academy Is Yours!

"The Daihasei Festival?"

Looking at the handbook handed over by the Headmistress, Selene gathered her thoughts and stood up, taking the booklet with a touch of ceremonial politeness. She feigned ignorance, asking, "Is this the comprehensive sports competition?" Then she quickly shifted into character, stepping forward to pull the chair across the desk for the Headmistress.

"Yes... ah, thank you, Selene."

After sitting down, the Headmistress froze for a moment. For some reaso...

Chapter 471: The First Meeting with Eriri

The two cars carrying Eriri and her group drove down the road, attracting a lot of attention. However, the level of interest was nothing compared to when Eriri and the others were walking along the street.

With a lot of vehicles on the road and no rush in Eriri's group, the cars weren't moving quickly.

Considering that Risa Momioka and Mio Sawada might take a little longer to arrive, Eriri and her group didn't rush to the meeting spot. Instead, they took a leisurely drive around t...

Chapter 226: I Will Strike Again in Gundam Form

Colorado, Sector Seven.

An incalculable number of alien robots clashed across the open mountains and deserts.

Massive steel giants raced and collided on the battlefield, sparks flying as mechanical roars and explosions echoed across the land.

High-energy lasers and fusion cannons hit nearby mountains, shattering massive boulders into pieces.

Thousands of Terrorcons rained down from the sky, screeching as they attacked everything in sight.

Equipped with sharp blad...

Chapter 225: Artosh: I Hope You Will Grant Me Defeat

Buer was surprised. "You're challenging Artosh? We still don't know how far Artosh can truly go."

Zhongli was equally surprised. "That's true. From what we know, his strongest concept will directly escalate to surpass his opponent, and the limit is the current universe."

"Even if we as Primary Gods master the Supreme Mystery, that only grants us the ability to fully liberate the rules of the universe—to control the rules themselves."

They had never fought him directly, so ...

Chapter 65: The Power of Five 'Velas'!

The noise of the press hall in Tokyo's Arasaka Tower seemed to mute in an instant.

In an indistinct blend of soul and mind, an introspective gaze—Vela stared at the deep shadow known as "herself."

Like peering down an old, bottomless vertical shaft in the real world.

A pool of water.

The only difference—Vela now stood before thousands of such "shafts." In all directions—forward, backward, left, right, up to the ceiling, down to the floor—everywhere she looked, ...

Chapter 146: Rita—If You Keep This Up, I Might Fall for You!

"Women's intuition, huh? That's really a hard argument to counter... It feels kind of like cheating."

Elias slapped his palm against his forehead with a helpless smile. He'd spent considerable effort crafting that plan—he was confident even Otto Apocalypse wouldn't have been able to see through it.

And yet, Rita had broken through all his defenses with one line about intuition.

It felt like answering a tough exam question with deep thought and analysis, only to have someon...

Chapter 728: Stewing in the Pot

Marine Headquarters — Marineford.

A navy soldier rushed in and reported, "Fleet Admiral, sir! We've received news from Dressrosa!"

Behind his desk, Sengoku's eyes narrowed. In a deep voice, he asked, "What happened in Dressrosa?"

The marine wiped sweat from his forehead and quickly said, "According to the intelligence received, a group of pirates appeared and launched a sudden attack on the town of Dressrosa. Due to the impact of the battle, the city sustained severe damag...

Chapter 452: A Lifetime Is Too Short

Kotomi Izumi had the same dream again. She was getting married to a girl. Like scenes playing on a movie reel, the dream began at the moment that girl slipped a ring onto her finger at the wedding. The days that followed were blissful, dreamlike.

As time passed in the dream, Kotomi's belly—without a doubt—grew larger.

It wasn't from eating. She couldn't gain weight from food. She was pregnant.

This was the third time Kotomi had dreamed of being pregnant.

The first ...

Chapter 540: Tokiwadai, Your Number One Has Returned!

Crack—!

Contemplating her next steps, Selene flicked her fingers. The stabilization of the broken bubble world remnant, maintained through her Finality Authority, collapsed. In that instant, the colorless "bubble" shimmering with iridescent brilliance quietly scattered into fragments of light.

Those crystalline specks slipped through Selene's delicate fingers, falling like dust into the "sea" below. Bathed in the vortex's halo, the luminous fragments shimmered like a br...

Chapter 470: Terrible Sleeping Posture

Knock knock knock~ Knock knock knock~

As the crisp knocking sounded at the door, Eriri, who had been closely snuggled with Sairenji Akiho, slowly lifted her head and looked at the flushed Akiho in front of her with a soft smile.

Akiho, dazed and dizzy from the intimate membrane-to-membrane contact with Eriri, hadn't even noticed the knocking sound. After they separated, she continued to gaze at Eriri with moist eyes full of eager anticipation, clearly hoping to go further...

Chapter 225: All of Hoover Fortress in Chaos

The Eagle Union.

Colorado.

Amidst steep mountains stood a semicircular dam, roughly 200 meters high.

Its riverbed was narrow, flanked by steep cliffs, forming a sizable reservoir in the valleys.

To any ordinary observer, it would appear to be nothing more than a standard hydraulic engineering project.

Except the defenses around the dam were highly abnormal.

Plainclothes Eagle Union police mingled with heavily armed National Guardsmen, who patrolled the area...

Chapter 224: Gods Descend Like a Meteor Shower, the God of War Rises

"Exactly, exactly! If it's an Old Deus, we can definitely bring Lord Artosh the head of one as a trophy, nya~" Azril's eyes sparkled as she rubbed her hands together excitedly.

"Besides, Lord Artosh hasn't risen from his throne in ages—not since he killed that so-called strongest Dragonia. If we manage to hunt down an Old Deus, surely he'll be pleased with us."

She turned to the fourth-ranked individual among their Flügel, the tactical brain Rafil.

"Isn't that right, Rafi...

Chapter 64: Make Arasaka Great Again

One month ago.

After the presentation showcasing the preliminary results of Project Sonnentreppe, within the family shrine at the Arasaka main estate—

"Arasaka-sama, please reconsider... The R-618 'Rebirth' Compound has only been in clinical trials for less than a month. There may be unforeseen side effects and incomplete reports. You truly must not risk your life so rashly..."

"Enough, Shintaro. Since when have you become so timid?"

A slow yet resolute and irrefutab...

Chapter 63: Oh My God, Saburo Arasaka Got Younger!

Over a week later.

Tokyo Metropolis, Arasaka Industrial Park, Biotech Division Subdistrict, Sonnentreppe Project Biological Laboratory.

Bang!

Roar—

Heavy pounding and a chilling, inhuman roar echoed faintly from the depths of the lab.

"That's enough. Inject inhibitors and anesthetics. Begin 'weight reduction' and remove the excess muscle and ossified growth. Make sure it's destroyed."

From behind the observation window of the fully seale...

Chapter 62: Gaining Momentum — Vela and Arasaka

By the time Vela walked out of the Arasaka Family Compound, a full day had passed.

2075/6/10, morning.

Clack.

Amid the ancient forest, with the crisp sound of a door bolt and bearing hinges, the two black-lacquered, vertically striped palace gates studded with bronze nails swung open. Beneath green-tiled roofs and white walls, Goro Takemura, tasked with formally sending Vela off, once again bowed and said, "Supervisor Russel, please allow me to apologize once more f...

Chapter 145: Rita—Master, It’s a Woman’s Intuition

"1ucky found something good!"

In the vastness of space—

Elias looked down at the green gem in his hand with great satisfaction. It was the Herrscher Core of Wind from the Previous Era, just dismantled from the Fourth Divine Key: Unnamed Satellite.

As a side note, the Fourth Divine Key was vastly different from the others. Rather than a handheld weapon, it was a massive satellite.

The Previous Era created it with a specific goal: environmental restoration—land, ocea...

Chapter 727: Too Light a Beating

Nami took a few steps back, disbelief written all over her face. "How... how could this be? Why would you do such a thing?"

Kaguya didn't answer immediately. She sat on the sofa, took a sip of black tea, and said calmly, "Tell me, who do you think really owns Dressrosa?"

Nami paused, confused by the sudden question, but still answered, "Isn't it obvious? Of course it belongs to King Riku."

"Wrong. You're mistaken." Kaguya set down her teacup.

"But Dressrosa really does...

Chapter 451: The New Method I Came Up With Hurts Too Much

"Onee-chan, why does your voice sound kind of weird?"

"Y-You're overthinking it..."

Kotomi Izumi mumbled vaguely. In the end, she didn't offer any more explanation and simply let Aimi hug her from behind, hoping that would get her to sleep more quickly.

Aimi looked at Kotomi's back, eyes filled with unspoken words. But seeing that her sister really did seem tired, she held back, not wanting to disturb her rest.

"You must be tired after coming back from Kyoto. Good nigh...

Chapter 539: Arrangements and a Major Dilemma

Triumphant Star Gate Spaceport.

A multicolored temporal vortex slowly rippled in the void. With the guidance of the spaceport control tower, violet light surged around it, radiating dazzling brilliance.

The cluster of light responded and moved—like a comet, trailing a long tail of violet flame. Accompanied by waves of spatial distortion, the majestic prow of a warship pierced through the shimmering curtain of the Honkai super-spacetime corridor like a blade.

Soon, one ligh...

Chapter 469: Emotional Confession

In a room on the second floor of the villa, Sairenji Akiho, freshly out of the bath and dressed in a light pink camisole nightgown, was sitting at the vanity combing her damp long hair.

Because she knew Eriri liked long hair, she had deliberately grown it out over the past ten years.

Though it hadn't reached the floor like Eriri's, her hair still flowed all the way down to her waist.

Through the vanity mirror, her delicate, flawless face could be seen clearly. Due to the hot...

Chapter 224: Decepticons Drawn by the Scent, and Familiar Faces

"This is the other half of the Transwarp Key."

Optimus Primal handed the spearhead-shaped metal object to Setsuna, having received it from the locals.

Click—

With a crisp snap, the two pieces instantly joined together at the base.

Though called a "key," the artifact resembled a diamond-shaped metal spearhead.

Fwoosh—

A brilliant golden beam of light shot from the key, piercing the sky.

Just like the first time it appeared in the ...

Chapter 223: Super Gift Game Between Two Universes

A golden World Gate, ten thousand meters tall, appeared out of thin air in the vastness of cosmic space.

Silent and undisturbing, it didn't affect anything—not even the matter or laws of the universe itself. It was as if it were merely an illusion.

The World Gate slowly opened, and an overwhelming tide of energy from the other universe surged forth, flooding into this cosmic space. In an instant, it entangled with the laws of this universe.

The laws of this space were of e...

Chapter 61: Vela and Saburo — A "Mutual Pursuit"

"Commander Takayama Shintaro, it has been a while."

Naturally, Vela raised her right hand in salute, pressing it to her left chest as she slightly bowed her upper body, her gaze direct and her head upright—no sign of guilt or avoidance.

Creak.

Descending the short wooden steps of the pavilion, Shintaro Takayama—with his graying hair tied back in a ponytail—cut a broad, powerful figure for a Japanese man. His face was firm and weathered by time, much like his t...

Chapter 144: Otto—All My Cores Are Gone!!

"You want Herrscher power so badly? Fine—I'll let you savor what it means to wield the might of the Herrscher of Wind!"

Elias walked out of the lab, holding Wendy in his arms.

An overwhelming aura radiated from his body.

When his gaze fell on the researchers, it was like a sovereign looking down on lowly, despicable sinners.

"Gem of Desire sync rate: 100%! Gem of Desire sync rate: 100%! Gem of Desire sync rate: 100%!!!"

The display screen kept repeating that im...

Chapter 726: A Storm Is Brewing

Cradling the unconscious Nami in her arms, Kaguya turned around. Her eyes, cold as water, glanced at Fujitora. "Since when did a Navy admiral start colluding with pirates?"

"Admiral?" Fujitora was momentarily stunned. He said solemnly, "I don't know anything about being an admiral."

"Ah, I remember now," Kaguya tapped her tilted head, raised it, and smirked. "You're not an admiral yet."

Fujitora's brows furrowed. In a heavy tone, he asked, "Are you mocking me?"

"Being ...

Chapter 450: The Side Effect Stirring Again

Aimi still refused to admit she had just acted like a complete doofus. So instead, she redirected her attention to the blanket and grumbled:

"The blanket... we should just use the same one."

"Knew it..." Kotomi Izumi wasn't surprised at all. She shrugged and casually placed the new blanket she was holding back into the closet.

She had known full well that Aimi wouldn't agree to them sleeping under separate blankets. The only reason she brought it out in the first place was t...
