Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 241: Yui, Open Your Mouth

"Ki-Kotomi actually brought a bento box?!"

Yui's eyes widened in disbelief, trembling as if the very foundations of her world had crumbled. She clasped her hands over her mouth as if trying to stifle a scream.

If her dramatic tendencies were turned up just a notch, she might've shrieked like the heroine in a suspense movie discovering a dead body.

"What's with that look? Is it really that shocking for me to bring a bento?" Ko...

Chapter 329: Kabbalah Tree of Life × Simulation of the Imaginary Tree Experiment?

Buzz—!

Emerging from a portal shimmering with violet light, Esdeath stepped onto a surface no longer water but high-concentration Honkai energy in a liquid state.

Some areas had even crystallized, forming an expansive crystalline plain resembling a massive magical array.

Gathered on this shimmering platform were numerous figures, including the Astartes Thirteenth Legion Commander Robert, along with a vast assembly ...

Chapter 328: The End of Spirits

"Ice Avalanche!"

As Esdeath's voice resounded, an icy blue radiance exploded from her body. Sharp icicles burst from the ground, and in an instant, a blizzard engulfed the manifested imaginary space.

Frost-white ice stretched endlessly, covering every inch of sight. Everything before her was transformed into a cage of ice and snow, towering like a frozen forest reaching the heavens, sculpted as if from eternal frost.

Countles...

Chapter 259: Hope and Despair 2/2

One day later, humanity's population had dwindled to just over 200 million, while the number of Gastrea remained above six billion.

Two days later, humanity's population was reduced to just over 100 million, with Gastrea numbers dropping to just under six billion.

By the third day, fewer than 100 million humans remained, while Gastrea numbers fell to over 5 billion.

On the fourth day, the human population dropped to just over...

Chapter 258: Hope and Despair 1/2

Within minutes, the earlier scene of the Gastrea being lifted into the air was reenacted. This time, however, the subjects were not Gastrea but living, breathing humans.

All of these humans shared one trait—they harbored malice toward the cursed children.

Their faces were painted with confusion as if they couldn't comprehend what was happening.

But as the realization dawned on them, panic set in. The air was filled with cri...

Chapter 531: I Have Connections

What should I do? What should I do?

In the bathroom, Natsumi was like an ant on a hot pan. Although Artemisia had let her into the bathroom, if she stayed in there for too long, she'd definitely give herself away. The small space offered no avenues for escape, and sooner or later, she would be discovered.

At that moment, Artemisia's voice came from outside.

"Are you done yet? It's been five minutes already. Also, I suggest yo...

Chapter 31: The Silent Furina

The salvation of the Irminsul and the acquisition of Archon-level combat power are of unparalleled importance to Sumeru in its current state.

Moreover, the desert, as the Akademiya's unwanted burden, was something they had long wished to discard.

As Felina had aptly put it, not only could they seize the opportunity to rid themselves of this burden, but they could also sell it off at such an extraordinary price that the deal was imm...

Chapter 240: Megumi Takes It All In

What the—?!

The only thought running through Kotomi's mind at that moment was those two words.

After ending the phone call, she had assumed that Yukino and Megumi wouldn't arrive so quickly. That was why she had so nonchalantly agreed to Yui's request.

But the moment Yui had just rested her head on her lap, Megumi Kato and Yukinoshita Yukino appeared! How were they so fast?!

The main entrance to the ...

Chapter 239: The Two Hiding in the Gymnasium

The athletic field at Sobu High School is quite large, large enough to house a two-story gymnasium. On the somewhat stuffy second floor of the gym, where the large windows are locked and cannot be opened, there are various sports apparatuses like high jump equipment, mats, and rarely-used items such as shot puts, ping-pong tables, and their accompanying gear.

From the railings on the second floor, one can peek down at the first floor. Mo...

Chapter 327: Kabbalah Life Tree Ritual—Honkai Revision

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid deafening explosions, brilliant blue lightning shattered the underground sections of DEM's Tengu City headquarters. The torrent of electricity tore through the soil, steel, and concrete, relentlessly burrowing deeper into the facility.

The roaring stream of thunder and electromagnetic destruction showed no signs of stopping until it reached the depths of the headquarters, melting through the reinforc...

Chapter 326: The ‘Bone-Devouring Empress’

"She's here?! How did she find me?"

Was it because of the emotional fluctuation just now?

The figure of 'Phantom,' cloaked in a mosaic-like distortion, raised its head with a hint of surprise in its voice. Judging by the energy fluctuations of Esdeath, they were clearly below her level. Normally, while she was deliberately concealing herself, no spiritual energy waves should have leaked out.

"But now is not the time for battl...

Chapter 257: Prelude to Judgment

Had it not been for the higher-ups' orders to capture them alive, the self-defense force members would likely have opened fire already. They cared little for the lives of the cursed children accompanying Ruri Gokou, viewing them as less than human. Killing them all wouldn't have left a dent in their consciences.

The arrival of the pursuit team immediately caused unrest among the cursed children. While they knew Eriri was exceptionally st...

Chapter 256: The Suicide Squad Arrives

Eriri approached the little girl and her younger sister. The younger sibling also had long silver hair but appeared to be about two or three years younger than her elder sister.

At that moment, the younger one blinked her large, pretty eyes in curiosity as she looked at Eriri, her right hand tightly clutching her sister's.

"Hello, little ones," Eriri greeted with a light laugh, gently pinching each of their small cheeks.

"Hel...

Chapter 530: Clown

The Lantern Festival, as an annual grand event, naturally attracted many people to come and celebrate. Small vendors also flocked to the area, hoping to cash in on the festivities. After all, during times like these, people were mostly out for entertainment and more willing to spend a little extra for enjoyment, treating themselves for a year of hard work.

Moreover, most of the festival attendees were couples or families, who tended to s...

Chapter 30: An Offer That Cannot Be Refused

Of course, some might ask: Didn't the Akademiya submerge the people of Sumeru City into dreams to use their brains as computational power for the creation of a god?

Isn't that inhumane? Isn't that harmful?

Yes, it is indeed inhumane. It is indeed harmful!

But as stated before, the Irminsul's pollution has reached a critical point. The tree is wilting, and Sumeru could collapse at any moment.

From a ruler's perspective, ...

Chapter 29: Another Perspective

"Lady Furina, I have heard that you intend to bring rainfall to the desert."

"May I ask if this is your way of spreading faith in Sumeru?"

As previously mentioned, the order of the seven nations was established after the Archon War, and the Seven Archons are only permitted to spread their faith within their own territories.

This rule exists to prevent conflicts over faith between the Archons from escalating into wars.

S...

Chapter 238: I Just Think That Relationships Between Girls Are So Nice!

After fulfilling Megumi's two conditions, the earlier tension between her and Kotomi disappeared, restoring the usual comfortable atmosphere between them.

"Megumi, you're always so subtle when you're upset. If I didn't know you so well, I'd never even notice when you're mad," Kotomi said softly, recalling the anxious moments earlier. Someone like Megumi, who doesn't show their emotions on their face when upset, exerts a unique kind of pr...

Chapter 237: Am I Too Easy to Pacify?

When Arisu Sakayanagi unexpectedly approached Kotomi, Megumi, who was standing not far away, immediately felt her mood sour. Although she didn't yet know that Arisu had overheard her confession at the aquarium, she couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance whenever she saw Arisu near Kotomi.

Despite how harmless Arisu might appear, the only reason Megumi could think of for her unease was this: Arisu liked Kotomi and intended to ste...
