The New Fishman Pirates were wiped out not long after their formation. All the major instigators, including Hody, had perished in the battle. A few lucky survivors were quickly captured and thrown into prison.
Fishman Island finally returned to peace, though many districts had suffered extensive damage, and the palace was reduced to rubble. It would take a long time to rebuild. Still, for the people of Fishman Island, this was already a stroke of fortune amidst disaster.

Kotomi Izumi had always found it strange—every time she woke up, there was a faint sweetness in her mouth, as if she had eaten a piece of candy in her sleep.
Once or twice would've been fine, but this happened every day.
The only difference was, when she was at home, the sweetness had a certain flavor.
When she slept next to Megumi, the sweetness took on a different taste.
Now that she was sleeping beside Mashiro, it was a completely new kind of sweetness she had nev...

Crack crack crack!
The sky blurred with distorted light, followed by what sounded like illusory shattering—echoing in the ears of every surviving being.
Fractures rippled across the heavens, scattering in pieces. Brilliant, chaotic energy surged through the breaks like tidal waves, rising into tsunamis and crumbling into collapsing mountains. The ever-changing kaleidoscope of phenomena seemed like garish paintings stitched together in disarray, etching ornate patterns i...

Perhaps because Eriri and the others had arrived at Mount Rokko earlier than in the original timeline, even after Laika finished introducing her family, the disruptive blue dragon group still hadn't shown up for another half hour.
To prevent their interference, Eriri and her group didn't leave the plaza but instead strolled around casually.
During this time, Laika reverted to her human form.
Compared to a town, the plaza was rather plain—other than being enormous, it had n...

Whooosh—
Amid the audience's shock and noisy commotion, the starship activated its anti-gravity engines, spraying long plumes of blue flame as it lifted off and sped toward the distant horizon.
Inside the bridge.
Formidable, Victorious, and several other shipgirls were present, alongside a group of thoroughly bewildered and uneasy tankery girls.
Miho Nishizumi, Maho Nishizumi, Arisu Shimada, Darjeeling, Kay—all of them had accepted Formidable's invitation ...

"Ooooohhhhhh—!"
As soon as Felt finished speaking, the grand hall erupted into a storm of reactions—fear, astonishment, shock, admiration—all mingled in chaotic chorus.
The foreign dignitaries from neighboring nations were in disbelief. They had never heard such ideals before: a nation where the wealth and land would be distributed equally among all its citizens.
In the current world, the feudal hierarchy was absolute—vassals under vassals, where land and wealth belo...

Evening.
"Mom—huff... huff... Mom, I can't run anymore!"
Through the rain, two figures—one tall, one short—staggered through the fully congested streets of Raccoon City and onto the outer Arklay Mountains. Drenched, they trudged through the muddy roadside, running with difficulty.
"Not yet, sweetie—faster! You can do it! We have to get far away from here!"
The smaller figure stumbled several times, nearly falling, only to be lifted aga...

Umbrella Industrial Park, California U.S.F. Guard Division Training Base.
"Hey! Let go of me! This is kidnapping! I'm a police officer—"
A woman in plainclothes, face obscured by a black hood, was being dragged inside by two black-clad Umbrella guards. Judging by her voice, she was still quite young.
"Rebecca? Hey—let her go!"
The struggling woman froze when she heard that familiar voice. Her tone immediately shifted to delight.

"Who am I?" Kaguya glanced at him coldly. "Just a small fry. Not qualified to know my name."
"You're looking for death!"
With a roar, Dos stomped the ground, causing it to crack. He charged at Kaguya with his giant hammer raised high, and brought it down with force.
Boom!
A dull thud resounded.

Kotomi Izumi and Kazumi ultimately failed to come up with a good way to manage the Queen of All Females side effects. Throughout their discussion, Kazumi repeatedly hinted that if no method could be found, she'd be willing to help Kotomi release those side effects herself~
Her level of hinting was practically screaming "Let me do it!"
And yet, what baffled Kazumi—who was the system itself—was that no matter how many times she set up the perfect opening, as if preparing to land...

Solomon, third king of the United Monarchy of ancient Israel, son of King David, was the great ruler who brought ancient Israel to its peak of prosperity.
During his reign, he commanded seventy-two Demon Gods, built the first Temple of Israel, and made Jerusalem the Holy City. It later became the center of worship for Judaism and a sacred site revered by Christianity and Islam alike.
Judging by his deeds, he was undoubtedly a wise king who ruled with clarity and justice.

They had expected an intense showdown between the Nishizumi and Shimada styles—a thrilling back-and-forth duel.

In front of Pandora stood a man with the same white hair as hers, but with none of the courtesy. He behaved like a spoiled, unruly child.
He possessed a "Time-based Authority," but used it crudely and violently, lacking any sense of refinement or insight. To her, he was nothing more than a toddler waving around a giant sword.
"Regulus Corneas, Sin Archbishop of Greed, I've long tolerated your tantrums. Haven't you realized that?"

A dreamless night.
Vela woke up from restful sleep and instinctively glanced at her nightstand.
There it was—a crumpled sheet of standard white A4 paper.
"Materialized from nothing? No..."
"Object creation? Doesn't feel right."
"Time-space displacement... huh. Feels just like a dream."
She picked up the paper, feeling its solid texture in her fingers.
The exhaustion from last night was gone, dispersed like morning mist. The rest had washed her clean...

Perhaps it was the exhaustion from all the recent travel. Uninterested in anything at the moment, Vela slept most of the way back to Night City. When the in-flight AI gently reminded her of their approach, her subordinate carefully woke her.
Still reclined and clearing her mind, Vela opened her eyes and looked out the porthole.
Night City was drawing near through the dusk.
This... was her domain.

In the blood-colored space, a bizarre scene was unfolding—a silver-haired girl of breathtaking beauty methodically drove her sword into the body of a massive, crucified man. Crimson blood splattered in every direction. In no time, the man resembled a human pincushion, pierced by swords of various shapes and sizes.
Despite this, the girl showed no signs of stopping. She continued searching for new places to stab, each strike deliberate, her stunning face spattered with blood, lending h...

Rain.
Dampness, mold, dust, rust, chemicals, and the scorched stench of blood.
On the rain-soaked streets, shattered storefront windows left a trail of ruin. Shards of glass, broken furnishings, and scattered debris glinted dully under the drizzle.
Trash bins had been overturned. Their contents—flyers, protest banners, plastic bottles, bricks, even discarded clothes—were strewn across the ground.
Mixed with blood and rainwater, they had turned...
