Chapter 546
T’Chaka, King of Wakanda POV“Shuri.”“Father!” My daughter stood up, greeting me with a smile as the others in the room greeted me as their king.I smiled back faintly. “Daughter, I come not for our familial ties. Have you discovered the source of the anomalies out west?”Shuri furrowed her brow, and in a huff, she sat back down. “The atmospheric disturbances made it impossible for our satellites to see what was going on in that American town. I’ve been doing my best to decode the energy signatures that have appeared, but they’...

“Greetings, fellow Daoist!” Ocean Song began again after he finally got her undivided attention. “I’m seeking to recruit for my sect. Do you want to learn to go against the Heavens and cultivate to immortality?”Medusa stared at him silently.“......” Ocean Song didn’t know what to say next. That was the entirety of his sales pitch. He didn’t put much thought into this. “My name is Ocean Song –”“I know who you are.” Medusa cut him off. “I wouldn’t be surprised if every monster on the East Coast knows who you are at...
Chapter 545
“Alright, we’re ready to go!” I waved the papers around in my hand as I climbed aboard my ship.Jeanne, who was waiting for me, perked up seeing me board. “Did you really need those? Why couldn’t we just sail out into the water?”I wasn’t surprised she didn’t know; it’s more a modern thing. “Bureaucracy, the evil of the modern world.” I sighed. “I just wanted to cover my bases. We’re going out into a popular trading lane. Lots of other ships and plenty of navies patrol these waters. I’d rather not fly my boat away when...
Interlude 41: Kunou's Hogwarts Adventure, Part 4
Hermione Granger's POV“There you guys are! I was looking everywhere for you!” Ron came stomping in, earning a loud shushfrom the librarian as he basically shouted without any consideration for everyone else.At least he looked sheepish in embarrassment.“Where else would we be, Ron? Our assignment is due tomorrow.” I rolled my eyes.“Yeah, but we have all of tomorrow to finish it before class.”“Not all of us like to wait until the last minute.”“Come on, Harry, isn’t ‘Mione overreacting? We still have plenty of time.” Ro...

[Snippet] Monster? No, I'm a Cultivator! (Percy Jackson): Chapter 24
Despite the tension easing slightly with Thor’s arrival and the words spoken, they were still unhappy.“Come now, my friends.” Thor joyfully swung his arms open. “Let us not devolve into unpleasantness. Let the ones over yonder argue and fight.” He was, of course, talking about what was happening on Olympus at the moment.Anyone with any kind of godly senses could immediately tell that there were a plethora of foreign gods throwing their weight around atop the mountain.“Since when do you not want a fight, Thunder God?”Thor looked at...
Chapter 544
They named the Cactus.The Cactus was now Hubert.Orihime just told her as if it were a matter of fact that the Cactus should have a name, and Jeanne believed her.I shook my head and watched as the others came over.“Schweinorg-kun~” Urahara greeted me, his fan out, waving happily.“Urahara.” My lips thinned, not because I dislike him, but because I felt like I would want to hit the hat off his head any moment.But before he could say another word, Tessai put a hand on top of his head and smooshed his face right into the ground. “Scheinwor...
Chapter 543
Loki POVWell, this was not an ideal situation.I was thankful that I was not in court when this happened because I had a sudden…release of emotions.No, I was in my private chambers, pacing as I do when I need to think clearly. The view from my window that overlooks much of Asgard was always a welcome calm.Laufey and his Frost Giants are dead. Sure, there are hundreds of thousands—millions more where that came from—but I’m afraid they wouldn’t listen to me.And now, the Destroyer is also…destroyed.That was most certainly a letdown. I h...

Ocean Song was in a particularly odd situation.“What are these horseless carriages?”“Where do all of these lights come from!?”“Crikey, I can see these women’s legs!”“Why are there a bunch of Japs walking around!?”A lot of similar shouts and exclamations rang out. The last one also sounded particularly racist, but by the looks of his clothing, the boy looked like he was living during the Second World War.He wasn’t even the strangest of the bunch. If the boy from that era was out of place, it was doubly so for the ones who mar...
Non-Canon Omake: The Little Spider: Chapter 12
Arachne furrowed her brow.She was confused, which was rare. And she was having trouble making a decision, also somewhat rare. She was the type of person to either be whimsical in her choices or to be firm and quick.Yet, now, she didn’t know what to do.There were too many options for her to choose from.She stood in front of a bulletin board near the center area of camp before it opened up to where all the godly cabins were.Dionysus basically plopped her down right there, told her to do something that wouldn’t start a big fight under his watc...
Chapter 542
I learned from past mistakes.As in, I didn’t leave the dangerous box unattended inside my storage this time. I made sure to slap on quite a few seals just in case before adjusting it inside my storage.We don’t need another damn Pandora’s Box fiasco.But, you know, ignoring everything that just happened, my greedy devil nature is tickled right now. Just from the perspective of coming to this world, if I gained nothing else, the trip was now worth it.And I wasn’t even finished.But I pushed those kinds of thoughts away because it seemed rea...
[Snippet] Monster? No, I'm a Cultivator! (Percy Jackson): Interlude 1
The Fates weren’t having a good day.Well, it would be more accurate to say they weren’t having a good past month.“Cut it harder!”“I’m doing it as hard as I can!”The sisters argued as two of them pulled a golden thread taut, while the third tried to use their scissors to cut it, but no matter what they did, they couldn't even leave a scratch on it.“Hurry, before it’s too late.”“Do you want to switch with me? I’m telling you, it won’t cut!”Their bickering continued as several other strings they had woven began to u...
Chapter 541
Loki POVAnother sibling.I shouldn’t have expected anything different.Of course when I’m finally acknowledged, when I’m the one sitting on the throne, there is someone else to kick me off of it.Some…..Midgardian, or whatever she was. How long had it been since a mortal was taken to the golden city like she was? Invited, welcomedeven. Mother was always gentle about it, but Father was adamant that Asgard was not a place for mortals.Yet, against that, Mother brought one here and…..adoptedher. Was I the same? Was I some pity project that t...
Non-Canon Omake: The Little Spider, Chapter 11
There was a cold air that enveloped the room after Arachne spoke.Contrary to her brother, Artemis’s anger didn’t explode outwards or intensify, it was cold and subtle.That’s not to say she can’t exhibit an explosive anger, but she burns cold, not hot.“You should treat a god with more respect, child.” Artemis’s voice was icy, and it was accompanied by an invisible pressure that made the other people in the room start to sweat.“My lady, please allow me.” Zoë Nightshade tried to calm her down, a little successful as the tension ...
[Snippet] Monster? No, I'm a Cultivator! (Percy Jackson): Chapter 22
Ocean Song stood there heroically.The build creaked and groaned as half of it had been severed from its foundation. Of course, before he made a move, Ocean Song swept his Divine Sense out to make sure that he wasn’t just accidentally killing a bunch of random people.Sure, many cultivators wouldn’t care about collateral damage or bystanders.But Ocean Song was many things; most of all, he was not an asshole.However, to Ocean Song’s surprise, the manager wasn’t dead. He put a good deal of strength in that slash in hopes of settling things ...
Chapter 540
Nicholas Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D POV.“Hill, what’s the status on Branner?” I glanced at her reflection in the window as I looked out.“He’s in the wind, sir.” Hill reported, setting more papers on my desk. “We subtlety nudged him away from the direction of New Mexico like you ordered, he’s heading south towards Mexico and we’re going to gently guide him towards the middle east.”Good.“Avoid China, they’ve been watching things a bit too closely.” I grunted.“Will do sir, I’ll make sure all ships heading to china ...
Chapter 539
“So…..” I look at Thor.“Yes.”“You got arrested again.”“Yes.” He said again rather monotone.I had pulled up a chair and was sitting opposite of the cell he was in as he leaned against the stoned wall in the baack, breathing calmly as if nothing was wrong. He had a black eye, funny enough. But he was most certainly not the loser fo the fight.Credit to that Wakandan spy, he did get a lucky hit in on someone of Thor’s caliber. Granted, I when I was watching, I did notice that Thor’s fighting was a bit awkward, he’s most cert...
[Snippet] Monster? No, I'm a Cultivator! (Percy Jackson): Chapter 21
Ocean Song was expelled from Helheim.Yes, he went flying out of the realm of death, and of course, while flailing through the air, he retained his heroic and elegant demeanor.Ocean Song knew one of the most important rules for any Cultivator was that regardless of how absurd the situation or how dire, you must always look good.And Ocean Song wasn’t a Jade Beauty for nothing.That being said, he knew that he had not mastered such a deep and unfathomable Dao as he did not stick the landing.However, he recovered quickly after hitting the ground r...
Chapter 538
Seeing as I had nothing better to do at the moment, I recalled the previous coordinates and hopped on over to that Death Realm from before.I had the thought to pop back home, but I didn’t want to leave Jeanne here by herself. Call me protective, but it was the first time I took her ‘away’ and I want her to feel safe about it. Right now, she knew that I was waiting and ready for her to come back from Asgard. If she knew that I left the world entirely, she may feel more awkward about certain things in the future.Thus, gotta find some other ...
Non-Canon Omake: The Little Spider, Chapter 10
Arachne was having fun.While she usually enjoys spending her time fighting or training or doing things of that nature, that didn’t mean she didn’t enjoy things that normal girls her age did.Truthfully, she didn’t have many friends her age. It was hard to make friends when your parents were such high profile individuals.“What color should this one be?” Percy asked, holding up Aunt Raiden’s signboard.“Use the purple for that one.” Arachne told him, going back to her own as she painted Aunt Tiamat’s signboard.She and Percy were c...

Ocean Song clasped his hands behind his back as he walked back into Hades’ palace.He had a feeling that his Underworld adventure was soon coming to a close. He spent quite awhile down here and his gains were immeasurable and his Cultivation had soared to unbelievable heights. But for the Cyclops, it was time to return to the mortal world.He had many tasks left unfinished, and many more adventures to be had.Like a proper cultivator, he even had a time where everyone thought he was dead so he can return, alive and triumphant!Unfortunately, he h...
Chapter 537
Frigga, Queen of Asgard POVThis was far more entertaining than I thought it would be.Sif’s insistence on ‘challenging’ Jeanne here for nothing but to assuage her own pride. Yet, she has not once ‘defeated’ her.And she refused to turn it physical because she already said it would be dishonorable.“How about we flip a coin….?” Fandral said with a sigh, they seemingly ran out of ‘contests, and they were wearing nothing but the most basic of leathers, his armor and weapons joined in a pile along with the others, sitting next to Jea...
Chapter 536
The ride back had been rather uneventful.I was constantly looking back to see the people following us. Or rather to see if I could the people that shouldbe following us.To my utter confusion, I couldn’t see anyone.It made no sense, surely, they would have people following us, right? They wouldn’t just letus leave like that for no reason.In Agent Coulson’s shoes, well, It should have been obvious that me and Thor were the worst kind of ‘prisoners’ to interrogate. Me who just spouted off random bullshit, and Thor who sounded like he was...
[Snippet] Monster? No, I'm a Cultivator! (Percy Jackson): Chapter 19
Ocean Song’s eyes fluttered open after an indescribable amount of time.That is to say, he had no idea how long he was sleeping. Only that a weird jabbing feeling in his cheek seemed to have aroused him from his wake.He awoke to find Death quite literally poking him.He didn’t know what to make of that.Surely it must be a good omen that Death was so close to him, right?!However, seeing Ocean Song wake up, The Primordial of Death seemed to have lost interest and wandered off, disappearing from view.Ocean Song watched for several moments to mak...
Chapter 535
You know, there’s something ironic about the God of Thunder being tazed into a drooling mess.Credit where it’s due, he’s basically a human – a very well built and strong human – but a human, nonetheless. They had to taze him for a whilebefore he finally stopped struggling.I was starting to get worried there, but he’s breathing fine and has no problems. Hell, they even had someone check on him to make sure he wasn’t actually harmed.They’re very professional about everything.Despite being arrested and stuck in a single room for ho...
Chapter 534
Jeanne POVThere was an open part in this….building? Could this be called a building? But there was an open part that let me see out and I saw so many stars.I was pretty sure we weren’t on Earth anymore, but it was very beautiful.“Mr. Heimdall, how far away is Earth?” I turned to look at him.His eyes opened and he glanced at me. “Using the measurements of Midgardians, your home world would be approximately –” He raised a hand pointing towards the stars in a certain direction. “2.6 Million Lightyears away.”“Oh.” Thanks to th...

The great Styx stared at Ocean Song for a long time.As a son of Poseidon, she briefly wondered if it were possible to drown him.“Would you care to rephrase?” The Goddess finally opened her mouth, determined not to get on the bad side of Hades considering the weird Cyclop’s status.“I would like permission to enter into your river, please.” Ocean Song realized he may have been a bit overzealous.Styx gave him another long stare. “Another fool after the same curse.” She spoke, shaking her head. “Do you not know the consequences of t...
Chapter 533 (Read the A/N at the end please)
In a different situation, I would have been furious and immediately followed after Jeanne. However, thinking about it calmly, she shouldn’t be in immediate danger. First, it’s fairly obvious whereshe was probably whisked away to. Second, she had a Kaleidophone with her, so I could easily pop over to her if needed. Third, with the Kaleidophone again, she can call me if she’s in danger.And Jeanne is by no means unable to defend herself if things go south.So, I was willing to give it a few minutes to see if she calls before getting worried.I...
Chapter 532
The Ancient One was kind enough to give us a ‘ride’.Not that I couldn’t manage on my own, but I didn’t want to go through the effort when I didn’t know the exact location.Oh, and she was kind enough to help us with the whole ‘money’ issue. That is, I traded them some gold for currency here in various countries.I was happy, it’s been a while since just Jeanne and I have been off doing something fun.And something I didn’t immediately realize but made sense in hindsight, Jeanne had never been to a desert before if not counting he...
[Snippet] Monster? No, I'm a Cultivator! (Percy Jackson): Chapter 17
“And don’t give her flowers too often. They lose their effect if she begins to anticipate them. And make sure that you hand pick them.” Hades spoke thoughtfully. “She will know if you sent a servant to buy a bouquet of flowers.”Ocean Song nodded along with his Uncle’s words, doing his best to thoroughly absorb the wisdom being bestowed.Ocean Song also understood that his Uncle must have first hand experience with these specific situations.“And never lie to her.” Hades was quick to add. “She will know.”“How?” Ocean Song a...
