A handful of weeks earlier—though time in this world slithered like smoke through fingers, bending perception and reshaping memory.

“Since the subject has already spun around Lilith,” Ryan began with that usual shameless grin, the kind of grin that screamed I know I’m full of shit, but you’ll listen anyway, “then obviously the proper choice to float is Lilitu. A classic. Exotic, seductive, full of that dark-night charm. But, hear me out—my personal guilty pleasure? The undead vixen of eastern myth: the jiangshi. Whenever I pick up a novel, a webcomic, or some manga, it’s always the same—they slap in a jiangshi who’s absurdly badass, irresistibly hot, dripping with menace, and somehow manages to be sexy even with stiff limbs.”

Summoned Celestial Divine Beast – Chapter 206: Two MethodsThe cavern stretched before Ryan like a maw of shadows, its jagged walls dripping with moisture that gleamed faintly under the filtered light of Dioki he emanated through his aura. He and Chaollete Ashley descended cautiously, every step measured as they navigated the treacherous floor, aware that even a single misstep could trigger unseen traps. Though the first impulse would have been to leave the investigation to the teachers, Ryan’s mind weighed the stakes carefully. The condition of the person they sought was unknown, and if they abandoned the search, the consequences could be irreversible.A gnawing sense of urgency pressed against him, an almost physical weight that he could not ignore. He signaled to Sphinx with a flick of his hand, the giant beast’s golden eyes gleaming with intelligence. “Sweep the area,” Ryan ordered, his voice low but firm, carrying the weight of authority that had been ear

Chapter 205: Experiment (Bonus)Ryan’s chest tightened as he stepped into the cavernous depths, the weight of the stench already pressing against his senses like a living thing. His steps slowed, a cold dread crawling along his spine. Chaollete Ashley’s usual composure was slipping too, though she tried to mask it behind a faint, tight-lipped expression. Her eyes, however, betrayed her horror as they scanned the grotesque tableau that unfolded before them.Sphinx and Nidhogg crouched low, their fangs bared in raw, primal anger. The aura of fury emanating from Anubis was thick, almost tangible, curling in the air like black smoke. Even Risa and Sasha’s Dioki flared erratically, their energies destabilizing at the sheer intensity of what they were witnessing. The green-tinged glow of the cavern’s ceiling chandeliers cast everything in a sickly, unreal light, exaggerating the grotesque features of the horrors scattered below.Yin Zhen exhaled shakil

Chapter 204The Hidden Abyss of Blood and Stone“Kill them all! Leave nothing alive!” Ryan’s command tore through the air like a whip crack, sharp and uncompromising, echoing across the scorched battlefield as the acrid smoke from the burning forest swirled around them. His voice carried both urgency and an unshakable confidence, the kind that only came from someone who had already calculated the outcome before the fight even began. Without hesitation, he, Chaollete Ashley, and their familiars split into precise formations, moving with fluid synchronicity to mop up the surviving aliens, those that had staggered through the inferno only to be met by an even sharper, colder fate.The aftermath of the fire had left the aliens mangled and weakened, their charred forms stumbling and wailing in agony, their movements sluggish and erratic. It required barely any effort to strike them down, each blow from Ryan or Chaollete carrying the weight of experience and unrelent

Chapter 203: Mysterious Activity – Shadows Across the StormThe tension among the students had reached a nearly tangible level, the kind that made the hair on the back of one’s neck rise as though the air itself was conspiring. Thanks to Ryan’s subtle manipulations, distrust had already rooted itself deep within the enemy ranks. Whispers circulated like restless spirits, and suspicion flickered across every gaze cast toward Author. No one could be sure whether the others would act as allies or betrayals in motion, and that uncertainty had fractured the student body into three distinct, uneasy factions.The first faction consisted of those who, whether from fear or ambition, sought to cozy up to Author by demonstrating their loyalty. They whispered praises and nodded emphatically, clinging to the hope that proximity to him would bring safety, or at the very least, opportunity. The second faction was far more solitary, individuals who refused to rely on any

Chapter 202: Twisting the Threads of FateA quiet tension hung over the small clearing where the two students had stumbled upon a weathered log, its surface etched with a mess of hurried yet deliberate scrawls that immediately caught the eye. Ryan’s name was already whispered among the lines, though it wasn’t his handwriting. The message contained careful deliberation, each word dripping with restraint, remorse, and the faintest trace of cunning.“This is…” one of the students gasped, their fingers hovering over the carved letters. The air around them felt thick with an unspoken urgency, every sound of the forest amplified: the rustling of leaves, the distant croak of a frog, the faint splash of water from a nearby lake. Even the invisible currents of Dioki seemed to hum through the air, subtle vibrations brushing against their senses as though the very energy of the island was holding its breath.“I’m sorry, Author,” the words began, deliberate and f

Chapter 201: Manipulation in FlamesThe remnants of devastation stretched across the island like a scar, smoke rising in jagged columns from shattered trees and smoldering soil. Ryan stood at the edge of the destruction, surveying the chaos he had wrought, his expression unreadable but his mind calculating with ruthless precision. The raw scent of scorched earth and the faint metallic tang of burnt Dioki filled the air, wrapping the battlefield in an almost tangible tension. Every element—ash drifting lazily on the wind, cracked rocks still radiating heat—reminded him of the power he wielded and the reaction it would provoke.Author’s jaw was clenched so tightly it threatened to crack. From his vantage point, he could see the scale of Ryan’s actions, the sweeping magnitude of destruction that had swallowed half the island in mere moments. His teeth ground together as he tried to process the audacity of it. Never in his life had he witnessed such an approach at
