《Re:Direction The Peak (Cultivation Tale)》CH. 403

Fumes looked at the entrance to the cave built straight in the volcano. He hesitated for a few seconds before he entered.
As a plant-type demon, he always hated going here where the fire element was so rampant. Still, Brother Nightmare asked him for this favor so he might as well go through with it. It was a good thing in the grand scheme of things.
If Chaos could come with them, that would be the beginning of a new era.
He walked downwards for hours, getting closer and closer to the world’s center.
The temperature kept rising, to the point he had to surround himself in spiritual energy at some point.
Well, it was far from enough to hurt him in any way but it remained uncomfortable. He had gotten used to the deep and murky swamp.
He ended up reaching his destination, a gigantic lake of lava that spanned for hundreds of kilometers. It was also the biggest and greatest one in the entire world. And it was the territory of Chaos.
Fumes walked forward until he reached a dozen meters from the lava.
A brown dragon head that was the size of two human ones popped out of the lava in front of Fumes. Fumes told it: “I’m here to talk to Chaos, tell him it’s Fumes”
The head disappeared back into the lava.
Ten minutes later, a gigantic brown dragon head popped from the lava, creating a tsunami as it did. The lava crashed all over the place, Fumes waved at it once to stop it from splashing on him.
The head that appeared was immense. It was at least a hundred meters long. Fumes was like an ant in front of it.
The dragon’s jaw opened in a smirk as rows upon rows of immaculate teeth appeared. Then, its voice boomed and shook the cavern: “It’s really you! Brother Fumes! It’s been so long!”

Fumes frowned: “Come out in human form, you’re too loud!”
There was an explosion of smoke around the head as laughter echoed throughout the cave.
As the smoke dispersed, a humanoid with a brown dragon head sporting a white beard and white haired walked out. It wore a dark Daoist robe and remained barefooted.
Its scaled feet reached the coast and it said: “Been so long since I took this form”
Fumes smiled: “I’m glad to see you still so healthy, Brother Chaos”
Chaos waved: “Yes, yes, yes. No need for pleasantries between us, Brother Fumes. What brought you here today of all times?”
Fumes nodded. Straight to the point, this was fine too. He said: “Brother Nightmare said it was time for some actions. We are to meet at Low Point”
Chaos frowned.
It had been eons since he left the cavern. The so-called Evil faction had remained hidden for so long. For them to want to resurface now… Chaos asked: “What changed?”
Fumes smirked: “Brother Nightmare found a disciple”
Chaos’s eyebrows raised: “How far has he gone?”
Fumes stated with pride: “Until the end”
Chaos laughed: “There was finally someone else who managed to reach the third stage of Fear! Impressive! Impressive! Who is that fellow?! No, no, no, what is that fellow?! Another little nightmare?”
Fumes chuckled: “You would never guess it! Let me tell you, it’s a human!”
Chaos was stunned before he laughed uproariously: “A human?! A fucking human?! Awesome! Just awesome!”
He laughed for a while before he calmed down and stated: “Should I bring a gift for our new younger brother then?”
Fumes shook his head: “He’s still not worthy of that. Brother Nightmare only wishes for us to create some distraction so that the kid can grow more safely”

Chaos nodded: “Out of the Celestial’s sight. Fair enough. Alright. Where’s the kid now?”
Fumes shook his head: “I don’t know. He was in Vrislorin before but Brother Nightmare went there so it is unlikely that he would still be there”
Chaos nodded pensively then he turned towards the magma lake and roared.
Two beings got out of it and got on their knees before Chaos. One was a male and the other a female. Like him, they had brown dragon heads and wore a black Daoist robe.
Chaos ordered them: “You two will be in charge while I am away. Tell Vina to come here”
The two nodded before jumping back into the lake.
“Vina?” asked Fumes.
“My youngest” stated Chaos proudly.
Not long later, another one got out of the lake, a female, Vina. Chaos looked at her proudly before turning to Fumes: “What do you think, Brother Fumes? She’s my 18th generation granddaughter, Vina”
Fumes looked at her. She seemed like the other ones to him. He did not want to offend his brother though so he said: “Very good”
Brother Chaos was delighted as he said: “Do you think that she would make a good partner for Brother’s disciple?”
Fumes frowned.
This was a tough question. If he said the truth, it was unlikely that Chaos would take it well. He decided to keep it neutral: “I do not know, Brother Chaos. You would have to check that with Brother Nightmare and his disciple”
Chaos snorted. He could see through Fumes’ intent with those words. It was fine though. He turned to Vina and said: “Vina, you come with me to Low Point”
Vina nodded as she remained on one knee and head lowered.
Chaos pondered for a moment before he nodded to himself and said: “Alright, let’s go to Low Point. Lead the way, Brother Fumes”
Brother Fumes smiled: “Sure, Brother Chaos”
As they left the cave, Chaos asked: “What about Clown and the crawler?”
Fumes answered: “Clown will come. The crawler will just be himself I guess”
Chaos nodded and the three left.

8 175Twins in Naruto
The situation is pretty simple.You pick the two most interesting twins on earth and put them in differents world to see what happens. Unfortunately it seems that they weren't gonna act like many before them. "Hey Sis!That Shark guy is fighting with the good guys!" "Oh!It's Little Kisame!Let's help him and kill them all!" Maybe sending them in those worlds wasn't a good idea.....Nah!!It's gonna be funny! (Just to be clear the twins won't go only to anime worlds.They will most certainly go to Dc or marvel or even to totally new worlds created by me.) Warning:Extremely Op Main characters, incredibly gore scenes and maybe sex scenes in the future!)

Slimes are stupid!Annoying little pests that don't think about anything.How would they? They don't even have a brain.They don't even think about what they do, dissolving anything in their reach.That's worse than a beast acting on instinct, that's just following a program.A plague of mindless balls of goo.If it were up to me they should all get eradicated.At least that’s what I thought.Until my life was turned into a mess. Stupid slimes!
