Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 19: A Villain's Friend

"Ohayou gozaimasu (Good morning)."

Vela wore an expression of compassionate solemnity—tempered with a touch of grandeur.

"I am Vela Adelheid Russell."

"As your senior, it is my honor to be invited to speak at this year's Arasaka Academy freshman entrance ceremony in Night City."

"To quote Lord Saburo Arasaka: 'Rakuka wa eda ni modorinikui (Fallen blossoms rarely return to the branch).' Regardless of who you are, from the moment you are born, there comes a time when y...

Chapter 18: White Moonlight

For the first time, David Martinez truly understood the meaning of the word stunning.

In the grime and shadows of Santo Domingo, he had never seen colors so radiant.

That striking silhouette, standing out from everyone here—and everyone back there—was unlike anything he'd known.

She leaned with lazy elegance against the railing near the stage's rear corner. The tailored Arasaka women's uniform hugged her statuesque, graceful figure perfectly.

Her pale golden hair, ...

Chapter 128: Elias—Kiana, You're Going to Have a Big Belly

"The reason I dote on her is because she's Kiana—not because of how she was born."

Elias said it like it was the most natural thing in the world. After all, what captain wouldn't adore the ultimate, ridiculously, absurdly cute Kiana?

As a transmigrator, Elias had known from the start that Kitty Kiana was a lab-grown homunculus. But so what?

A girl's origin doesn't define her.

Kiana had a clear sense of self, and a will to fight for all that was good in the world. No ...

Chapter 710: Reunion with Kaido

The sky was bright and clear, with blue skies and wispy clouds. A gentle breeze drifted by, but the heat of summer brought with it an oppressive, sweltering air. Even the sea breeze felt stifling, making people restless without reason.

After arriving on Amazon Lily, Kaguya originally intended to meet with Hancock, only to be told by Elder Nyon that Hancock had already departed for the Sabaody Archipelago a few days prior.

Elder Nyon had been worried that if Hancock didn't find Kag...

Chapter 434: Hojou, Can Your Motorcycle Catch Up to a Benz?

After a few rounds of drinks, thanks to the alcohol, Hojou Takamasa started getting tipsy after just three cocktails. Even though the alcohol content in cocktails isn't that high, he was still a high school student—not exactly someone with much drinking experience.

Even this kind of fruity cocktail, barely considered real alcohol, was enough to make his head spin.

Regardless of gender, drinking too much inevitably loosens lips. People start saying things they shouldn't. That's w...

Chapter 522: What Is She Guiding?

"Cough... thanks, Enkidu...."

Rising from the "web" of Chains of Heaven, Ishtar coughed lightly, barely suppressing the boiling turbulence within her divine core. She struck a slightly authoritative pose with one hand on her hip and climbed aboard the summoned Bow-Mount Maanna.

"Ishtar, don't you have anything that can boost Gugalanna's Noble Phantasm?"

On one of the few remaining patches of land, a golden-haired goddess with a crown rose from the depths. Spotless and compos...

Chapter 452: Want a Kiss

Although her figure looked impressive at first glance, Eriri instantly saw through it—it was merely an illusion.

In reality, Pecora's bust was even smaller than Eriri's. She was entirely a flat-chested little loli. The bust she currently displayed was nothing more than a magical projection.

Still, even flat-chested, her cuteness was entirely undiminished.

Just moments earlier, Pecora had been handling documents in the Demon King's castle. But the moment she finished her fi...

Chapter 207: Panzer IV, Move Out!

Early the next morning.

The competition venue was packed with people.

In the Girls und Panzer world, tankery was a national sport, even more popular than soccer or basketball.

The audience seats were filled with students from various schools, along with curious onlookers and parents.

A woman in a suit with a sharp aura sat in the VIP section, eyes fixed on the large broadcast screen.

Shiho Nishizumi, head of the Nishizumi family, had come to watch her daughter's ...

Chapter 206: Quick, Throw a Spirit Ball at the Wild Beatrice

The announcement that the royal selection had ended also meant that Roswaal's promise to her was now void.

Roswaal had promised her that if she became queen and met the Divine Dragon, she would be able to save everyone frozen in the Elior Forest.

Now that the selection was canceled, she had no way to fulfill that contract—and Roswaal would have no reason to help her anymore.

"Pfft... Lia, you're still as naive as ever."

Puck couldn't help but chuckle at Emilia, who s...

Chapter 17: Arasaka Academy

"Hello, Supervisor Russell. I'm Marcus."

"Supervisor Russell, I'm Sugihara."

"I'm Hoyle."

...

Ordinary introductions, nothing more than formulaic greetings and pleasantries like those exchanged with every other guest. After a few minutes of polite small talk, Vela was escorted inside by Arasaka Academy's senior staff.

"Supervisor."

Responding to her orders, the bodyguard team Vela had stationed at the academy ahead of time joined up with her.

"Bryan. ...

Chapter 16: Aftermath

"Destination: Arasaka Academy."

Rayfield Excalibur Executive AV onboard AI: [Acknowledged. Route calculated. Now en route to Arasaka Academy, Night City.]

Vmmm...

Landing struts retracted, cabin sealed, blue thruster flames ignited beneath the four vector engines as the AV smoothly lifted into the air. Inside, the smart system, following Vela's personal presets, began playing the morning news.

"This is Night City Bulletin. We interrupt your regular programming...

Chapter 15: Braindance Experience: Arasaka Butchers the Maelstrom

Whoosh!

Running, wind, fire, explosions.

"Huff!"

"Huff, huff!"

The man's mouth gaped open, his trachea burning as he gulped down scalding air.

He was running with everything he had. The rhythm of his breath pulsed through both mouth and nose, his chest beginning to ache with each intake.

The air was thick with tension—as if an endless darkness loomed behind him, with a monstrous claw closing in fast.

His eyes darted back:

He saw flame...

Chapter 127: Elias—I Will Always Love Kiana Kaslana

"No problem. I'll teach you the Edge of Taixuan later."

"Great! Then I forgive you, Fu Hua."

Elias grinned and patted Fu Hua on the shoulder.

At this point, his physical offensive power was more than sufficient. As the Herrscher of Fire, paired with the Judgment of Shamash, there were few enemies who could withstand even a single strike of his Might of An-Utu.

But on the spiritual level, he was still very fragile.

In the Honkai world, there were several ways to g...

Chapter 709: The Power of Love

The news of Kaguya's upcoming execution in Marineford in one month sent shockwaves through the Grand Line.

The person hailed as the world's strongest had not only been captured but was scheduled for execution?

What kind of international joke was this?

Her power was undeniable—a terrifying force that inspired dread and hopelessness. Since her appearance, she had never lost, nor had she even been injured.

She had once beaten a Marine Admiral senseless, fought and kille...

Chapter 433: The Banquet After the Curtain Falls

Before leaving, Kotomi Izumi gave Eiren Kanagawa a call. Upon learning she was waiting for them in her car in the parking lot, she didn't linger another second, fearing even a moment's delay would risk catching a cold.

She herself wasn't worried—with her Queen of All Females Physique, she was immune. But she worried about Mashiro Shiina. Even after giving Shiina her own coat, her delicate face was still pale from the cold. Kotomi instinctively held Shiina's small hand, and the moment ...

Chapter 521: Heavy Casualties

"Leave the mana to me—!"

"Everyone, give it your all!!"

Countless distorted auras, and blazing golden-purple suns capable of boiling seas and scorching mountains, burst forth in the sky like an impenetrable barrier. Fujimaru Ritsuka held his breath, gripped his right wrist tightly, and roared into the void. His red Command Spell flared brilliantly.

The atmosphere itself shifted with Fujimaru Ritsuka's desperate shout.

Buzz—!

"God is Here With Me (Lum...

Chapter 451: Pecora

"Now's not the time for talk—we need to figure out how to break this damned thing."

"Tch, like I needed you to tell me that."

All of the mages began pouring their life's worth of magical knowledge into trying to unravel the golden energy barrier.

Unfortunately, no matter what they did, they couldn't budge it in the slightest.

The golden barrier never stopped contracting, and as time passed, its diameter continued to shrink.

The bisected remains of the first mag...

Chapter 206: It's Totally Normal for a Star-Destroyer to Appear in Tankery Matches

Miho Nishizumi and Anzu Kadotani were left a little dumbfounded by the aircraft carrier onee-sans' words.

Due to funding issues, Ōarai Girls' Academy really didn't have any decent tanks.

The only one that could be considered heavy firepower was a single Tiger (P) heavy tank.

They were indeed quite envious of other schools, who could casually field dozens of Shermans, T-34s, or even Pershings.

"Eh? Is that okay? But... why are you helping us?"

Miho cautiously stu...

Chapter 205: The Witches Have All Been Revived

When Noah's gaze swept over her, she immediately shrank back with a terrified whimper, tears welling in her eyes, as if just a slight scare would reduce her to tears.

This was the Witch of Lust—Carmilla. Authority: Faceless Bride.

People who looked at her would see the person they loved most in their dreams, and lose all rationality, sinking into a delusion of love so deep they'd forget to breathe. Even if death loomed before them, they wouldn't resist. Their very cells would fo...

Chapter 14: Vela Needs to Vent for 'Vela'

Restless.

Irritated.

As if her senses and perception could transcend time and space, Vela could clearly feel the emotions of another "her"—or rather, her own emotions at this moment.

A blazing anger rising from the heart, a fury growing bold. A seething rage.

Brought forth by her "Divine Gift."

Not so much an influence—as the influence itself.

And in the midst of that restlessness—

Crack! Crack!

Inside the armored AV, Vel...

Chapter 13: Vela Needs to Vent, Because—

Bang!

A gunshot.

A seductive silhouette collapsed onto the filthy ground.

A large-caliber round blasted through her meticulously sculpted, beautiful features, exiting through the back of her head. Metal bone fragments and a fan-shaped spray of red and white blood mist scattered across the air. All that remained was half a jaw pulling her body backward with inertia, crashing heavily onto the floor.

The corpse lay limply on the ground, exposed and protruding dam...

Chapter 12: Exit Ticket

Beep beep—

The secure line connected quickly.

"Hello." A calm, commanding male voice answered.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Simmons. This is Vela Adelheid Russell from Umbrella. Sorry to bother you." Pressing the receiver to her ear, Vela opened warmly with the standard American political pleasantries.

A true tactician knows when to bow. This wasn't Arasaka. The U.S. hadn't collapsed; it remained the world's dominant power.

The man she was speaking to—Derek ...

Chapter 11: Scalper... or Scalpress?

"Commitment, integrity, and honesty—these three principles are the core values upon which the Umbrella Corporation was founded."

"Just like our Red Umbrella, Blue Umbrella, and White Umbrella divisions: each with distinct responsibilities, yet interconnected. Together, they support our ongoing mission to serve the public."

"Today, we formally announce to the public the creation of our Black Umbrella division: in line with our corporate development strategy and this fiscal year's...

Chapter 126: Fu Hua, the 50,000-Year Unchanging Flat Hua of Shenzhou!

"Hey~ Miss me?"

"Y-you—you're back already?! I told you to go have fun a few more days! Stay away as long as possible! Elias, your current state is dangerous!"

Theresa stared dumbfounded at the white-haired boy in front of her. She was completely thrown off. This problem student never listened to his principal at all!

She had just told him yesterday to take his time coming back, and now here he was—bright and early the next morning, returning to St. Freya Academy on Anti...

Chapter 708: She's Back

Standing on the deck of the ship was a tall woman with long, silky black hair, elegant willow brows, a rosy complexion, and fair skin. Her eyes were misty and crystal clear, as if veiled in a soft fog, almost ready to overflow with tears. Her figure was tall and curvaceous, exuding the allure of a mature woman.

Gion—Vice Admiral "Momousagi" (Gion).

Kaguya blinked in surprise. Why was she here? If she was right, this area should be quite far from Marine Headquarters, and it was i...

Chapter 432: I’m Like Shinji Ikari Standing by Asuka’s Hospital Bed

Kotomi Izumi was dumbfounded.

She had known from the beginning that the Queen of All Females came with side effects. But because nothing had ever happened before—and the side effect only supposedly triggered when she went too long without physical affection from girls—she hadn't taken it seriously.

And when it came to physical affection with girls... well, Kotomi was confident. With Megumi Kato alone, they were practically cuddling every week. Keeping the side effects at bay s...

Chapter 520: Final Battle!

"I can stabilize your Spirit Origin..."

Seeing Selene's near self-mutilation, the words Solomon had been about to speak were swallowed back down.

When he first observed her fractured Spirit Origin, Solomon had a fleeting thought—to implant something into her composite core under the pretense of stabilization. But now, it was clear: there was no need.

That idea had only been an impulsive insurance policy. It didn't mean Solomon was prepared to act against Selene, or break t...

Chapter 450: The Magus's End

Miyuki Asagami bowed repeatedly to Eriri, her tone full of urgency.

Although her feelings toward Kanzou Asagami weren't particularly deep, he was the only one who could save the Asagami family and her daughter now. So she had already made up her mind to remarry him.

The two had just come to this decision, and they were simply waiting for Fujino to return and inform her.

Now, Mayuki was pleading on behalf of her fiancé.

Seeing her mother bowing and scraping so humbly, ...

Chapter 205: Nishizumi the War God, Do You Crave Power?

Girls und Panzer World.

Buzz—

As space twisted, a dimensional portal opened high in the sky.

A small squadron of shipgirls emerged.

Leading them was a tall, buxom Royal Navy shipgirl with pale silver hair tied in twin tails.

Illustrious-class aircraft carrier, third ship—Formidable.

Accompanying her were cruisers and destroyers from various factions.

For worlds without supernatural forces or great power, Setsuna only sent a small expediti...

Chapter 204: You Didn't Scream Loud Enough—Do It Again

The Witch of Greed's Graveyard—this place was once merely a forest. But Echidna, in her quest for bodily immortality, transformed it into a so-called "experimental base," better known as the "Sanctuary." Every villager here was tied to her experiments.

The origins of this place were layered in mystery.

Four hundred years ago, the Witch of Envy, Satella, lost control due to her immense Witch Factor, unleashing an Authority rampage that affected half the world.

The Three Her...
