Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 309: The Dutiful Son and Compassionate Father

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Under the puzzled gaze of those around him, the 11th Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire did not seem to show any trace of pain or hesitation.

He was too decisive, as though his father held absolutely no place in his heart and could be discarded at any time.

"All the better. I look forward to your pledge of allegiance."

With that, Selene gave a dismissive wave, stepping past Lelouch without a backward glance and leaving.

Following Selene's o...

Chapter 239: Vignette

Not lingering any longer in the world of High School DxD, Eriri and the others returned to the world of Saekano that very evening. Only this time, their group had grown by three new members: Scarlet, Ophis, and Asia.

Everyone had already grown accustomed to Eriri returning with new family members from time to time, so seeing the three arrivals from High School DxD look around their new world with curiosity didn't feel out of place.

The next day...

Chapter 238: This Is Totally Rigged!

As time passed, the final showdown between Serafall and Shiva finally began, giving everyone yet another spectacular fight to witness.

As a long-range magic user, Serafall's strategy mirrored Sirzechs' in keeping her distance from Shiva. However, Shiva wasn't purely a close-combat fighter with a powerful physique; while long-range magic wasn't his specialty, he could still hold his own well enough from afar.

Nevertheless, every long-range attack from Shiva was intercepted by Seraf...

Chapter 521: A New Spirit

The three "little bunnies" hadn't run far when Ai Yamabuki, who was leading, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Unable to brake in time, Mai Hazakura and Mii Fujibakama crashed right into her, and all three girls tumbled to the ground.

"Why did you suddenly stop?!" Mai protested irritably.

"Exactly!" Mii grumbled, rubbing her forehead where a bruise was already forming.

"Look!" Ai swallowed nervously, her voice trembling.

The two girls lifted their heads and were startled...

Chapter 220: Smooth Talker

An aquarium looks pretty huge, and if you're only looking at the map, it can almost give you the illusion that it would take days to fully explore.

But in reality, if you focus on walking around without lingering too long in one place, half a day is more than enough to cover most interesting areas. With another couple of hours in the afternoon, you could see every single worthwhile part of the entire aquarium.

After all, an aquarium isn't quite like an amusement park where each at...

Chapter 219: Kotomi: Don't Think You Can Jump Straight to the Finish!

Just as Kotomi had filled her plate with a heaping pile and was about to seek out her next target, Megumi reached over, swapped her plate of spicy octopus noodles for a much milder fish ball and vegetable stir-fry.

Kotomi liked fish balls just fine, but right now she really wanted something bolder and spicier!

"My spicy octopus noodles, my precious noodles…" Kotomi's gaze was filled with longing, and the sight of her looking so meek and disappointed could melt anyone's heart. 2024-11-06 13:43:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 12: The Confused Focalors

Inside the Palais Mermonia—

Neuvillette finished reading the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

He had sensed that Furina had changed, yet was still unsure. Now, after reading this report, he wasn't sure what to feel.

Furina, as he remembered, was always lighthearted, laughing, and her personality tended toward the dramatic.

He had often chided her about this, urging her to act like a true Archon, so that he wouldn't have to handle Fontaine's every matter himself....

Chapter 11: The Game Behind the Scenes

"Lady Furina, I must ask out of curiosity—as a Archon, you surely don't lack wealth. So, why did you ask for a share of the profits?"

"Exactly, Felina, I'm curious about that too. Why would we need so much money?" Furina's voice rang out within their shared consciousness, clearly intrigued by the question.

"You silly girl!" Felina chuckled. "Once the prophesied crisis is over, our mission will end. Have you thought about what kind of life you want to live after that?"

"Bas...

Chapter 308: The World of a "Sister Complex" — I Really Don’t Get It

Selene's gaze swept past ranks of imperial soldiers, and in a corner of the fenced-off prisoner-of-war camp, she spotted a large number of Britannian prisoners.

Among them, young men and women dressed in school uniforms, radiating a youthful spirit, immediately caught Selene's attention.

Noticing the Emperor's gaze, Budo, who was three steps behind Selene, followed her line of sight.

"Prisoners.... Are these prisoners special, or is there someone among them who is?" Budo mur...

Chapter 307: All Hail Selene!!!

"Hahaha…this world will be our Second Astartes Legion's tribute to the Empress!"

These soldiers of the Second Legion spoke about the victory and taking prisoners as though they were exchanging small talk, not even lowering their voices. In their eyes, Britannia's fall was a done deal, and the students captured from Ashford Academy were nothing more than spoils of war, utterly defenseless and lacking any threat. And if some hot-blooded students overheard them and decided to go all out ...

Chapter 237: Just a Little Squeeze

There weren't many participants in Group One, and since they fought in pairs, it didn't take too long to finish the rounds.

In the second match, Rias was paired against her brother, Sirzechs. They both wielded the same power of destruction, but the challenge lay in how they each controlled it. It quickly became clear that Rias's command over destructive energy was still far less refined than Sirzechs'.

Through years of practice, Sirzechs had learned to compress his destructive pow...

Chapter 236: The Matches Begin

Despite the flurry of chatter in the chat group, only a few minutes had passed in reality.

At that moment, two circular platforms suddenly appeared on either side of the fighting arena, each marked "Group One" or "Group Two." Instantly, all the gods and mythical beings on the platform disappeared, only to reappear on one of the respective platforms.

Seeing this arrangement, they quickly understood which group they'd been assigned to.

In Group One stood many familiar faces: t...

Chapter 520: Hoist with One's Own Petard

In the command center, Wescott gazed intently at the silver-haired girl on the screen, a cold smile tugging at his lips. "Even the strongest Spirit would take damage from such a nuclear assault, and in doing so, she'll deplete a significant amount of her spirit power. At that point, with her weakened state, our new magic-condensing cannon will have the ideal opportunity to strike. Then… I'll bring out that secret weapon."

His chilling words drew no reaction from Ellen beside him, who ...

Chapter 10: Judgment

Opera Epiclese

When Felina had finished speaking, she fell silent, merely watching Marcel with a calm gaze.

The grand opera house was now utterly quiet. Every pair of eyes was fixed on Marcel, waiting to see how this once-arrogant man would react.

Under the weight of countless stares, Vacher fell into a deep silence. Felina's words had struck him like a thunderclap, echoing through his mind. No scheming or plotting lingered in his thoughts now, no trace of smugness or resent...

Chapter 9: False Accusation?

"Your accusations have concluded, but sadly, you've failed to judge me," Felina remarked, her voice steady as she addressed Marcel. "Now, it's my turn to place you on trial."

Standing at the center of the stage, Felina's voice rang out, clear and resonant: "I, Furina, formally accuse Marcel, President of the Confrerie of Cabriere, of being the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on the Hydro Archon, the trafficking of Sinthe, and the long-unsolved serial abductions of young girl...

Chapter 218: Hmph, I’m Way Ahead of You!

This time, the kiss was far more intense than before. Though Kotomi instinctively followed Megumi's lead, her desire to take control—to become the "attacker"—remained. Kotomi kept trying to push forward and seize control from Megumi, but, as expected, she failed.

Even as their kiss ended, Megumi remained firmly in control.

Swallowing slightly, Kotomi murmured with a touch of dissatisfaction, "You're so mean, can't you let me lead just once?! Sometimes I want to take the initia...

Chapter 217: Weaving the World’s Most Beautiful Love Words

"M-Megumi?"

Kotomi gasped in surprise as Megumi Kato held her tightly from behind. The distance between them had shrunk to zero, letting them feel each other's heartbeats.

She instinctively tried to pull away, but as Megumi didn't loosen her embrace, Kotomi's resistance faded, as if she were waiting quietly for Megumi to release her.

Or perhaps, in the depths of her heart, she had always longed for this very embrace.

Now, that embrace had finally come.

After a lo...

Chapter 306: Selene is Still En Route on Her Inspection

As more and more Honorary Britannian soldiers (11th-District locals loyal to the Britannian Empire, akin to collaborator forces), regular Britannian troops, and severely damaged Knightmare Frames retreated, everyone within the Tokyo Settlement felt a growing sense of dread. Anxiety and fear of the imminent massacre hung thickly over the entire city.

Boom!

Inside the Tokyo Settlement, an artillery shell struck a high-rise building, tearing away a large neon screen that plu...

Chapter 305: I’m Going to Destroy Holy Britannian Empire... Huh? It's Already Set for Destruction!?

War is the father of all and the king of all; some he has marked out to be gods and some to be men, some he has made slaves and some free.
—Heraclitus

…

In the year 1030 of the Sacred Selene Empire Standard Calendar, the second expeditionary direction of the Astartes Punishers Legion, in an advanced technological universe.
Alternate World of the Britannian Empire, Area 11.

Boom boom boom!

Thud thud thud!

Crash!

Chapter 235: Gabriel and Gabriel

Scarlet wasted no time exchanging words with Rizevim and instead launched a ferocious attack. Although the difference between Dragon God level and Transcendent level is only a single rank, the gap in power is enormous.

Rizevim was utterly powerless against her assault and perished swiftly at Scarlet's hands.

Once she had finished off Rizevim, Scarlet paid no further attention to anyone else on the arena floor. She returned directly to Eriri's side, leaving the assembled deities we...

Chapter 234: The Convergence of Pantheons

In the Occult Research Club room at Kuoh Academy, Sirzechs returned once again, but this time he wasn't alone—a dark-haired girl dressed like a magical girl was with him.

Yesterday, he'd already learned from Rias the reason behind her her surge in power, as well as the existence of the True Red Dragon God Emperor and Eriri's immense power.

Thus, he had no concern that the visiting gods would cause Rias any undue trouble—after all, she had the world's most powerful force backin...

Chapter 8: The So-Called Trump Card

"In court, Felina continued, "Moreover, if I am not a god, then why have I lived for so many years?"

"And who else but a god could have created the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, which gather the power of justice to supply all of Fontaine with energy?"

"Hmph, that hardly proves you're a god!" Marcel scoffed, his voice laced with contempt. "There are many long-lived beings in this world; does that make them all gods?"

"And who's to say that whoever created the Arbite...

Chapter 7: The Trial Begins

"See that~!" Felina said to Furina after finishing the conversation with the old lady.

When dealing with Furina's enemies, Felina was ruthless and calculating, but with Furina, she was warm and patient.

"Furina, I understand how hard it is to play the role of a Archon with a human heart and mind. I can see how carefully and cautiously you've worked to keep up appearances."

"But, Furina, if you focus too much on how others see you, you end up trapped by their judgments. It's ...

Chapter 6: Applying Pressure!

"President Marcel, you seem rather nervous."

Chevreuse's sharp gaze swept over Marcel, making his heart pound.

But Marcel managed to stay calm, forcing a smile. "You're joking, Captain Chevreuse. Anyone would feel nervous if someone from the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol came to see them."

"Is that so?"

Chevreuse made no comment and left without further ado.

Back in his room, Marcel let out a long breath and finally noticed that his clothes were drench...

Chapter 519: You Think I'll Let You Go?

The operations command room was bustling with activity, filled with the hurried footsteps and indistinct shadows of personnel working frantically. No one complained—this was a life-and-death moment. If they failed to eliminate the target, they could face a catastrophic counterattack. If a large-scale spatial quake were to occur, not only would the city be at risk, but possibly all of Japan as well.

"All units, are you prepared?" A portly commander clutched his microphone, his eyes fil...

Chapter 216: Megumi Kato, Actually Angry?!

"Your order number is 102. Please wait by the side for a bit," the cashier said, handing over the receipt and order number after payment.

One orange yogurt drink, one thick taro milk tea. Can you guess how long they waited?

Twenty minutes. Yes, a full twenty minutes.

Even though the shop wasn't crowded, with only a few orders, plenty of staff were available. Kotomi even subtly asked if they were low on ingredients.

The cashier replied, "We have enough ingredients, plea...

Chapter 215: Equivalent Exchange

Kotomi sniffed slightly, catching an unmistakable whiff of "jealousy" lingering in the air. Even if she didn't sense the scent, Megumi's tone alone made it perfectly clear.

Carefully, Kotomi leaned close, her face a picture of uncertainty. Nervously, she asked, "Megumi, are you… maybe a little jealous?"

"What do you think, Ms. Amazing Manga Artist, Kotomi~sensei?"

Oh, if this isn't jealousy, then I'll wash up, dress nice, and deliver myself to Megumi's doorstep tonight! Ko...

Chapter 304: Next Phase Objective—The Space Fleet

"An assignment, Your Majesty?"

After being helped to her feet by Selene's powers, Esdeath looked over the hovering stack of mission files before her. Without delay, she took them and began reading.

The very first line she read stated, "Report from the Ninth Legion, Legion Commander Sanguinius…"

Hmm… unfamiliar names. It seems the Empire's military has changed considerably in these few years I've been asleep. Before, there were only about two or three Astartes Legions, an...

Chapter 303: Herrscher of Ice – Esdeath

Honkai Dimension, Imperial Standard Calendar Year 1030 (as calculated by the Akame ga Kill world's calendar), five years later, midwinter.

...

At the Empire's South Lake Military Camp, flurries of snow floated gently down, drifting over the snow-covered earth, lending a thick layer of white to the imperial capital's streets and draping them in wintry splendor.

The capital's orderly, towering buildings looked all the more magnificent under the snow's blanketing effect. Heaven...

Chapter 233: Attention from Various Pantheons

As this thought crossed his mind, Riser's look of terror gradually shifted into madness.

"Everyone, our target is the enemy stronghold! There are only four of them, so give it everything you've got—take down Rias's team in one swoop!"

With that, devil wings spread from the backs of everyone present, while large flaming wings flared up behind Riser and Ravel. Under the two siblings' lead, the entire group advanced directly toward the Occult Research Club, no longer concerned with...
