《Night Ranger》Chapter 701. Display Of Strength
Advertisement
Marvin's calm voice echoed through the top floor of the Sky Tower.
Those powerhouses, who had been preparing Divine Spells or waving their swords while preparing to charge, suddenly froze.
Time seemed to stand still.
Marvin walked out from the protection of the Copper Dragon.
His gaze was as cold as ever. "Still want to kill me now?"
No one dared to answer!
The people surrounding the Copper Dragon were in a state of near-collapse!
They had all attacked because they had felt so sure of one thing: Marvin was seriously hurt, so this was the best time to attack!
But when an apparently healthy Marvin stood before them, the scene of him going against the World Ending Twin Snakes appeared in their minds.
Some of them even started to subconsciously and slowly back away in fright!
Because Marvin had already activated his advanced False Divine Vessel as he spoke.
The Slaughter Domain flooded the whole area.
That killing intent was almost visibly marking those who had tried to take advantage of the situation.
A strange light flickered in the eyes of the Copper Dragon, but he didn't say anything.
Marvin stood with a cold glare, and that ice cold gaze made them feel like they were frozen before the most ruthless viper.
Someone retreated.
It triggered a chain reaction.
'It's finished,' they all thought.
Marvin must have been using some mysterious ability to repair his body. Or maybe it was his shapeshifting itself that did it.
Whatever the case, his weak state was already a thing of the past, and this frightening avatar of death had already recovered.
If they really tried to press on at this time, few of them, if any, would be able to leave unscathed.
The Gods had already instructed them that they should avoid conflict with Marvin if he seemed to be at full strength.
And the fight against the Molten Archdevil had already proved that Marvin had the strength of a Half-Plane Guardian.

From what the Gods could assess, even if the current Marvin really had the power of a Plane Guardian and they might beat him if all the forces teamed up against him, it would still be very difficult to kill him.
And now, Marvin seemed to have somehow completely recovered.
If Kangen returned, the situation would become even more one-sided.
Although Eve and Holy Paul were troublesome, the former was at most able to hold even with Jessica while the latter didn't seem to be showing any killing intent toward Marvin. Nor did he show any temptation towards the Fate Tablet, which was somewhat odd.
If the son of the God of Dawn and Protection stood down, Marvin's strength would be enough to kill most of his opponents here!
Moreover, he now had the Fate Tablet. Who knew whether his strength improved even further?! Perhaps his sudden recovery had been aided by its powers!
...
Seeing everyone lowering their heads, Marvin inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
He was the perfect example of a weak person bluffing his way out with false bravado.
On the surface, it looked like he had recovered his full strength at the level of a Half-Plane Guardian, but in reality, he could barely fight right now!
While in the Devil Magic Egg state, his body truly did recover at a high speed, but the damage caused by the World Ending Twin Snakes had been too severe.
It wasn't that easy to recover from a near-death state.
He still needed more time.
But when he became aware of the situation in the hall, he discovered that he didn't have that time!
Marvin had to step out and do what he could to help Professor, who was risking his life to protect him.
Although the defenses of the Magic Egg were very tough, some of those from the Astral Sea had spells tailored against lifeforms from Hell.

If they actually went all-out to attack him, he might really have no way to survive.
Thus, he could only take a gamble.
He dismissed his Magic Addict Shape before its effective duration had elapsed, and then tried to intimidate all the others into backing off.
And it seemed like his bluff was effective.
Most people retreated because they couldn't see through Marvin's real state.
However, a leisurely voice came out at this time. "Nice guts, you didn't completely recover but you still removed the Magic Addict Shape."
"Eh? You have a False Divine Vessel in your body? You are really a shocking man. If not for the Fate Tablet being too dazzling, I almost wouldn't have noticed it."
"And it seems like the Fate Tablet already fused with your false Divine Vessel. It's unfortunate that you don't have the key. If you could actually harness its power, you would have truly profited."
"But still, I admire your courage. Not everyone would be able to scare away so many powerful beings when weakened to the point of barely being able to fight."
The Son of Anuba Grant laughed loudly while skillfully blocking the attacks from the pair of Elves and simultaneously giving Marvin a thumbs up.
In Marvin's eyes, his smile looked quite malicious!
Because with just those words, he managed to reverse the situation in the hall once more.
Those powerhouses who originally thought of escaping took a closer look at Marvin.
But this time, killing intent had risen up again.
"So he was only bluffing! Why didn't I notice that he wasn't projecting any strength!"
"Yes, I also felt he didn't have any power, he is a pure mortal."
"I thought he was deliberately hiding his aura so we wouldn't know exactly how much power he had. Thinking about it now, after the fight against the World Ending Twin Snakes, how could he still have the power to hide his aura?"
They all sneered as they recovered their courage.
Marvin shook his head helplessly.
He looked at the son of the God of Dawn and Protection and threatened, "If I survive this, I'll definitely kill you."
Holy Paul coughed and pointed at Eve. "Don't take your anger out on me, I'm only a hired goon. She is the one who wants to kill you."
Eve's eyebrows shook, but she didn't react as she was still entangled with Jessica.
Marvin snorted.
Although he looked calm on the surface, deep within his heart, he was already on the verge of despair.
Facing the attacks of so many Divine Servants, he had no way out. He needed help.
Eve and Holy Paul... If Marvin had the opportunity, he would never let them live!
Regardless of their reasons or difficulties!
'Heiress of the Valkyrie?' Marvin squinted his eyes.
She had tried to kill him now, so he wouldn't care about pretextes and reasons.
'As long as I can survive!' Marvin inwardly pledged.
He looked at those malicious Divine Servants with disdain in their eyes.
If he was really about to die, he wouldn't mind using Diross' Imprint.
Although he instinctively felt that the Imprint Diross left was nothing good, he couldn't manage things on his own this time.
In any case, he would at least take them down with him.
The Copper Dragon raised his head, wrapping his wings over, trying to protect Marvin once again.
Divine light flickered in the hall, formed by countless Divine Spells gathering their energy.
The pressure in the atmosphere was stifling.
At this time, a young voice suddenly echoed across the whole floor:
"Those who want to kill my brother will die!"
It was followed by a frightening Arcane Energy billowing through the hall!

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
