Whoosh.

Bellamy launched another attack.

This time, his speed was so intense that a white shock wave formed in front of him. The air itself seemed unable to withstand the velocity, distorting and rippling around his body.

Marcus noticed it immediately. That visual distortion meant Bellamy had pushed himself right to th...

Night fell over Mock Town, and Marcus chose to slip away from the celebration alone.

According to the original story, the Knock-Up Stream should erupt the next day. Which meant, technically, the Straw Hats had arrived way too early.

Blackbeard and his crew probably hadn't even landed on the island yet.

But this messy timeline a...

For this uninvited guest who had entered without warning, Saruman's mouth, unusually, moved faster than his brain. Almost instantly, he snapped back.

Garrett spread his hands and replied, "The front door was wide open, so I just walked in. Your condition does not seem well, Saruman."

He stood up and walked toward the White Wizard. 2025-11-03 03:15:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Clang!

Clang!

High atop the black tower of Orthanc, in the forge room, came the endless rhythm of hammering and the flashing glow of molten light. A figure cloaked in white labored tirelessly within.

Clack.

The forging tool was gently set down.

Saruman picked up the newly forged ring, his ...

"The sky has cleared."

In the northern lands, atop the fortifications, Gandalf looked up at the distant sky over Angmar and muttered softly.

"No... not quite."

After muttering, he glanced to the left, then to the right, and shook his head at himself.

Only part of the sky had cleared.

That part was where the expediti...

Boromir set out with a company, heading straight for Osgiliath. This new garrison would remain stationed in the abandoned city for the long term, keeping close watch on Minas Morgul and the movements of the Witch-king at the very front line.

After Boromir's departure, Denethor left the tower where the palantír was kept and took a moment t...

"Eric!"

Selvig, who'd been deep in calculations, whipped his head around at the sound of Mario's voice. His neck made an audible crack from the sudden movement after maintaining the same position for too long.

Mario winced. "Easy there. You keep that up, you're gonna twist your head clean off—"

The words died in his throat as...

Thor scrambled off his brother.

"Wake up!" He shook Loki's shoulders. "Come on, wake up!"

Words clearly weren't going to cut it this time. Loki was out cold, his face looking like he'd gone ten rounds with the Hulk.

That's when Tony did something completely unexpected, he stepped out of his armor, and started walking toward Mar...

The ground in Siberia was hard as concrete, especially with the lingering cold still clinging to the air.

But Thor, being Thor, didn't bother with any kind of safe landing strategy. He just jumped straight from the Quinjet like he was cannonballing into a swimming pool. His legs plunged a full meter into the earth. Lucky for him, those Asg...

"Dr. Selvig, I only want to rule the universe."

Mario's voice echoed through the cramped underground chamber. The torchlight gave him the appearance of a movie villain rehearsing his monologue. The slight smirk on his lips completed the effect.

"I need you to help me open a portal so I can summon my army and conquer this world. Anyon...

"Ninjutsu squad, prepare to release!"

Kenji raised his hand and swatted away a kunai flying toward his face. His eyes tracked the exchange of jutsu between both armies, massive elemental techniques colliding in mid-air with explosive force.

The kunai barrage looked dangerous to civilians, but any competent genin could deflect project...

The Suna ninja Kenji had supposedly just controlled with Mind Body Switch appeared behind him instead, katana raised high. A cruel smile twisted the man's face as the blade came down.

The figure Kenji had been controlling burst apart into splashing water. It was a clone.

"You fell for it!"

The katana descended.

The blade ...

The assembly area outside the Konoha forward camp was packed with ninjas. Kenji stood among them with Haruto, Kaede, and Aoi, all of them loaded down with gear and ready to move. Their squad had received orders less than an hour ago. Support unit deployment to the front lines. Immediate departure.

"Move out!"

With the squad leader's ...

Kenji set the glass container aside and reached for the puppet's torso. His fingers found the hidden release mechanism, and the chest panel clicked open.

The interior was nothing like the crude exterior suggested.

Intricate networks of chakra-conductive metal filled the cavity, forming a dense grid that covered every internal surface...

"So we got some useful information, but now we need to get to this Mangrove Archipelago place," Alvida said, adjusting her mindset and starting to think about matters related to Sky Island. "Problem is, that's clearly not anywhere nearby."

Robin considered their options. "Should we split up and ask around at other locations? Cast a wider n...

At the port, the crew split into two groups.

Marcus, Goliath, Robin, and Alvida, the four of them would disembark at Mock Town to gather intelligence. The rest of the crew would head to the other side of the island to find Mont Blanc Cricket to learn more about Sky Island.

If either group obtained useful information, they'd regroup o...

Alvida was clearly startled by what was happening to her.

She flailed her arms, feeling like she was about to drown. The sensation was terrifying, she couldn't even float, let alone swim. Her body was sinking like a stone, and in her panic, she forgot two crucial things: deactivating her Devil Fruit ability and actually breathing.

Ev...

The Ancient One picked up her teacup again, took a sip, and turned her gaze to Mario.

"Your arrival has caused time to fall into chaos. The future has become uncontrollable—"

"Wait, hold up."

Mario suddenly felt like he'd heard this speech before. Despite how rude it was to interrupt, he couldn't help himself.

"Are you ...

Thor frowned as he looked at Kaecilius. This opponent was far stronger than expected. And those words he'd spoken earlier...

Does he know me?

He thrust out his hand to summon Mjolnir back to his grip. The hammer shot toward him, but it wasn't alone. A thick beam of concentrated energy followed it, the kind of attack Iron Man...

MCIM Ch. 73

Under the effect of Slow Time, Loki barely registered Mario spinning around at impossible speed, then a kick slammed into his abdomen.

Before he could even process what had happened, the force had already sent him hurtling across the plaza.

The attack shattered his concentration completely. His invisibility flickered and died, along ...

"I think you might need my special ride service."

Kaecilius' dry humor was rare enough that Mario did a double-take. The sorcerer was already surveying their surroundings.

He walked over and tapped Kaecilius' armor with his knuckles. "You know what? I'm pretty sure I can't live without you anymore. Portal travel is way too convenient...

The great army assembled by Wayfort, an immense army marching northward. They crossed the fortification line, and under the watchful gaze of the sentinels, continued deeper into the north, toward those shadowed mountains, stepping upon that sickly brown earth.

Angmar.

Whoosh.

Garrett drove his greatsword into the groun...

Time always passes in the ordinary; sometimes when you look back you realize that, in truth, not so many world-shaking events occur that directly involve everyone.

At least, not that often.

Ordinariness is usually the norm.

And many people meet the end of their lives within that ordinary existence.

Their night has come. 2025-10-31 03:31:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Lately, the number of Rangers around Wayfort and the City of Waters has risen sharply, so much that together, the two places now host over a hundred of them staying long-term.

Of course, these Rangers aren't there for leisure or relaxation. Some have taken up posts as instructors, others as lecturers, and judging by the situation, they don...

"Feasibility Report on the Complete Purge of Angmar."

In the year 2992 of the Third Age, inside Wayfort, Garrett reviewed a new proposal submitted by the Ranger Legion and found himself suddenly more alert.

After decades of concerted effort, and with Garrett's personal intervention, the Ettenmoors, which bordered Angmar, had already ...

Once he'd checked on his students' progress, Kenji turned his attention back to the Rasengan's third stage.

This was where things got brutal.

The first two stages had been challenging but straightforward. Stage one taught rotation, churning water inside a balloon until internal pressure exploded it. Stage two taught power, condensing...

The three students stared at Kenji standing on the water's surface like it was the most amazing thing they'd ever seen.

"You can really stand on water!"

"Sensei, that's incredible!"

Kenji ignored their excitement and continued explaining.

"To stay on the surface, you need to continuously release a controlled amount of cha...

After sealing the heart in the preservation jar, Kenji resealed the corpse back into the storage scroll. He'd need to dispose of both bodies eventually. Normally they'd be handed over to the Intelligence Division for information extraction, but with a living prisoner already captured, these corpses weren't particularly valuable anymore.

Kenji looked at his three students.

"Haruto, you were the first one to charge at the enemy. That takes guts. Most fresh graduates freeze up completely their first time facing real combat. The fact that you moved at all, and tried to fight back instead of running, that's valuable. More valuable than you realize."

He shifted his attent...

News of the Republic of Arabasta clashing with a Marine Rear Admiral spread through the merchant networks. Within hours, the story had been embellished, exaggerated, and blown completely out of proportion.

Some merchants were claiming the country was on the verge of total destruction. After all, Aokiji was in Arabasta, if he decided to ret...
