The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"Working together to draw? Isn't Sorata a very good artist?" Shiina Mashiro's tone rarely carried a hint of doubt.

Jiang Jing shook his head: "What I drew was just a black and white comic sketch, but it doesn't have a strong impact. Even if it's released, it might just be a decent mecha apocalypse comic."

Jiang Jing is very clear about this. In fact, the reason why EVA was so popular back then and was called a masterpiece was inseparable from the dark and oppressive neon environment of that era.

In today's era of thriving anime and manga culture, it is at best just a decent comic book, with many others that are similar or even better.

Even Dragon and Tiger, after he aligned with the current social refinement, and with Dengeki Bunko spending resources on full-channel promotion for half a month, plus a market several times larger than Jiang Jing's previous life's Neon, only sold a little over 200,000 in three days.

It's easy to imagine that if Jiang Jing were just an ordinary transmigrator who hoped to become a sensation and reach the pinnacle of life by copying EVA, he would definitely suffer a huge blow.

Fortunately, Jiang Jing only draws comics out of interest. Especially now that Dragon and Tiger has started to be published, the monthly royalties he receives are enough to cover his daily expenses, so he has become even less interested in it.

If Misaki hadn't brought it up again today, given Jiang Jing's current laid-back personality, he would have just left it aside and ignored it.

"...?" Shiina Mashiro continued to gaze at the river view.

"My collaboration means that I will be responsible for drawing the black and white version of this comic, and you will be responsible for colorizing it into a full-color comic," Jiang Jing explained.

With the strength depicted in Shiina Mashiro's oil paintings, plus the fact that she actually descended into the EVA world in the middle of the series and fought alongside Shinji Ikari and Asuka, and thus understands their true personalities very well, the revised EVA storyline and plot by Jiang Jing is sure to be very interesting.

Shiina Mashiro immediately became interested: "Shall we begin now?"

Jiang Jing shook his head: "No, aren't you drawing color illustrations for the third volume of Dragon and Tiger right now? Let's talk about that after you're done with that. Besides, you're also going to adapt the first volume into a manga, so there's no rush. Let's take it slow."

In the morning, Yuriko Uemura came over and asked Mashiro Shiina to stop working on the manga adaptation of the first volume of Toradora! Volume 3.

"Alright." Jiang Jing himself wasn't in a hurry, so Shiina Mashiro could only nod.

Just then, Jiang Jing's phone rang. The caller ID showed Rias, and Shiina Mashiro, who also saw the name, had a slight change in her expression.

"Hey."

"Kanda, do you have time to come to the activity room now?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes, it's about that place."

"There?"

Jiang Jing thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Then I'll come over here."

"it is good."

After putting down his phone, Jiang Jing saw Shiina Mashiro staring straight at him, and couldn't help but explain, "Uh... the club seems to have some activities, and I just happened to be free so I went to check it out."

"Come back early, I'm waiting for you to have dinner."

Even though Shiina Mashiro's gaze was calm and her face was expressionless, Jiang Jing had the illusion that she was a wife instructing her husband to go out.

"……it is good."

On the way to Shuigao, Jiang Jing didn't encounter many people because it was a holiday. However, after entering the school, Jiang Jing saw quite a few members who had returned to participate in club activities.

When Jiang Jing arrived at the mysterious research department located in the warehouse behind the teaching building, Kiba Yuto and the others had already arrived, or rather, they had been there all along.

"By the way, why do you ministers like to talk about these things at school so much?" Jiang Jing asked, somewhat puzzled, after sitting down.

"Because I've already bought this place, and to make things easier, I've renovated the entire warehouse, setting up a lot of magic arrays, turning it into a place similar to our base," Rias said with a smile, seemingly in a very good mood.

Money power, you say? Jiang Jing nodded to indicate that he understood.

"I called you here today, Kanda, to tell you that the time for the seal to be broken has been set for tomorrow afternoon. At that time, experts from all over the world will gather."

"The evil creature that appeared in Neon State this time is only the second time it has appeared in the world in hundreds of years. And because it is not strong enough to be easily suppressed, it has already attracted the interest of many forces."

"Also, when I returned to the Underworld, I brought you a Dark Crystal Concept Armament Core. By the way, I'll introduce you to two people later."

P.S.: First update. It's Monday, as everyone knows. I'm doing a favor by buying two books here. If you're interested, you can click to take a look. And while I'm at it, I'm still asking for votes.

"This Isn't My First Time as an Admiral" is a story about an admiral from Kantai Collection (Azur Lane) who transmigrates into the world of Kantai Collection (Azur Lane).

Dark Zagi Wants to Be a Good Person

Chapter 61 Dark Crystal Concept Weapon

"Dark Crystal Concept Weapon Core?" Jiang Jing had never heard of this before, and there was no record of it in the phone that Rias had given him.

Rias placed her hand on the white box, about 30 centimeters in size and covered with magic circles, on the table: "Kanda, you've seen the information about the restricted area on your phone, right?"

Jiang Jing nodded.

hum! !

As the holder inputs magic power, the magical runes on the box emit bursts of red light and begin to unlock, then slowly bloom like a mechanical lotus flower.

In the center of the mechanical lotus, a fist-sized, black, multifaceted crystal with a metallic sheen floated slowly, emitting a soft light.

"Those forbidden zones have limited records; they are ancient battlefields in the depths of the endless void."

"Over the years, some unknown anomaly has occurred. Whether it is the corrupted monsters born from the forbidden battlefield or the ancient evil creatures that have been sealed, their power attributes and forms have all undergone a reversal."

"They all possess the characteristics of mental and energy pollution, which can drive people crazy, confused, and distort their will, eventually turning them into beings with the same mental chaos, genocide, and twisted nature as them."

"However, after killing these corrupted demons and evil creatures, one can harvest a large amount of source crystals containing pure life energy from their bodies."

"Especially from those ancient evil creatures, one can obtain a rare and wondrous crystal with life-giving properties, the Dark God Crystal."

"This dark god crystal is extremely hard and has excellent energy conduction and amplification functions. Modern artifacts made from it will also be enhanced by the user's continuous nurturing and engraving of powerful magic arrays."

"The most important point is that weapons forged with Dark God Crystals can not only inflict additional damage on corrupted monsters and ancient evil creatures, but also possess a strong destructive power against our demonic magic, angelic holy power, and divine power."

"Therefore, Dark God Crystal has become the core material for the mainstream creation of divine artifacts. However, due to its rarity and preciousness, it is not available on the market and there are no records of it." After saying that, Rias gestured to Kiba Yuuto, who was standing next to her, to give the Dark God Crystal to Jiang Jing.

This time, Jiang Jing didn't accept it directly. Instead, he looked at Rias and shook his head: "I can't accept something for nothing. I can't just take this kind of thing."

A phone worth a few million yen is one thing, but something like this, which is worth tens or hundreds of billions of yen and impossible to obtain without connections, is something Jiang Jing doesn't consider shameless enough to accept.

Given Jiang Jing's selfish nature, if he didn't know them and found such a good thing, he might have already killed them and taken it.

However, since the two sides know each other and their relationship seems to be okay, and it is basically Jiang Jing who obtains information from them, such as detailed information about the extraordinary world and that mobile phone, etc.

Although some people mistakenly believed he was some powerful awakened being and approached him because they saw his potential, these facts cannot be denied.

So Jiang Jing couldn't bring himself to kill them and take the item; he still had his principles, and the Dark God Crystal wasn't worth abandoning his current principles for.

He's now defining himself as a "good, virtuous, and accomplished" youth of the new century. Can a "good, virtuous, and accomplished" youth really do this? Of course not, unless nobody knows him.

Furthermore, if Jiang Jing were to accept this obviously precious item now, it would be difficult for him to maintain a detached and aloof distance when facing Rias and the others later.

Jiang Jing has always believed in the principle of "treat me with respect, and I'll treat you with even greater respect." He thinks, "If you dare threaten me, I'll wipe out your entire clan. But if you treat me well, like Zhenbai..."

"Kanda, you don't need to be so polite. Although Dark God Crystals are rare, my Gremory family has kept some in stock due to guarding the forbidden area for many years."

Rias looked sincerely at Jiang Jing and smiled, "And this is also a benefit for our research club members. Akeno, Yuto, and Koneko all have their own Dark Crystal Artifacts."

“Kanda, you’re also a member of the research department, so I brought you one when I went back to the Underworld this time. However, it took some time to process it into a concept core, so it’s only being delivered now.”

“Indeed, Kanda-senpai, you don’t need to be so polite. My magic sword crafting artifact incorporates a Dark God Crystal.” With that, Kiba Yuuto summoned a magic sword in his hand, with a Dark God Crystal inlaid on the hilt.

Seeing Jiang Jing hesitate, Himejima Akeno, sitting opposite him, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Oh my... Is Kanda-san feeling embarrassed? How cute."

"We're all on the same team, no need to be so polite," said Tacheng Xiaomao calmly, quietly eating her chocolate.

Jiang Jing noticed that the way the women looked at him was genuine and sincere, as if they truly considered him one of them. This was completely inconsistent with the cunning and treacherous persona of a demon.

However, since the other party was so sincere, it would seem a bit pretentious for Jiang Jing to refuse again, which is not in his nature.

Shrugging, Jiang Jing accepted the Dark God Crystal, which felt like a cold, hard crystal: "Alright, since you all say so, it would seem a bit pretentious for me to refuse again."

Seeing that Jiang Jing accepted the gift without any hesitation, everyone smiled. Rias's tone became more intimate, and she even changed how she addressed him.

"Kong Tai, this concept core is currently in the initial state of a concept artifact. You need to activate it with your mental power. Inside, there are seven armor defense templates and thirty-six attack weapon templates popular in modern artifacts."

"Once you choose a defense or attack template, it will transform into the form you desire, becoming a modern artifact based on an initial template."

I need weapons!

With a strange thought in his mind, Jiang Jing's mental power probed into the core of the conceptual weapon in his hand without any obstruction. Deep inside the core, a black ball of light slowly rotated.

Jiang Jing subconsciously separated a wisp of his spiritual power and merged it into the ball of light. Instantly, it seemed to come alive, and a life rhythm emanated from the ball of light, radiating waves of affection and admiration for him, just like a newborn baby.

Then, more than forty options appeared in Jiang Jing's mental energy, including full-body armor, half-body armor, fully enlarged mecha, longsword, gun, and various other powerful artifacts.

This information is like a set of pre-designed program templates. Once Jiang Jing selects one, the core concept in his hand will be transformed into an initial artifact according to the template.

In the future, he will need to consume materials to upgrade the level and power of this artifact.

"This thing is somewhat similar to the Xuan Tian Ru Yi Divine Gold used to forge world-class artifacts, but it is not as powerful as the Xuan Tian Ru Yi Divine Gold. In terms of level, it is about the same as ordinary artifact materials."

Under the influence of his mental energy, Jiang Jing quickly grasped the core nature of the so-called concept in his hand. He then withdrew his mental energy and did not immediately choose the artifact template within.

"What's wrong, Sorata?" Rias asked, puzzled.

"Uh... I don't know which one to choose right now. I'll think about it when I get back," Jiang Jing explained, though he had other plans in mind.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"It must be Sona and the others." Saying this, Himejima Akeno got up to open the door, and Rias also stood up from behind her desk, as did the two cats.

Rias clearly values ​​the visitor highly.

"President Chitori, Vice President Haruka, hello." Kijima Akeno opened the door, placed her hands on her abdomen, and smiled at the two black-haired girls outside.

P.S.: Second update early! Brothers, please vote! I feel like I don't have many votes today. Did everyone vote for the girl next door? Waaaaah...

By the way, I'd like to recommend this book, "Emiya the Chef's Trip to the Honkai World," which is a story about the happy daily lives of Servants in the Honkai.

Chapter 62 The Strongest Awakener Below the Supreme Power

"This is my good friend, the student council president of Kuoh High School, whose human name is Shiri Sona, and whose real name is Sona Shide. He was born into the Shide Duke family in the underworld."

"This is Tsubaki Shinra, the vice president of the student council at Kuoh High School. She was born into a family of demon slayers in the human world and is also a member of the Sona Familia, holding the rank of Queen."

"This is Kanda Sorata, a member of my team, an extreme power-side ability user," Rias introduced the three to each other.

"Hello, Kanda-kun." With delicate features, red-rimmed glasses, and short black hair reaching her shoulders, Shito Sona bowed slightly to Jiang Jing.

Beside her, like Himejima Akeno, was Shinra Tsubaki, who had knee-length black hair like a waterfall, a tall and voluptuous figure, a cold and beautiful face, and wore blue-rimmed glasses. She also bowed slightly.

Lacking the arrogance of a demon family with a history spanning thousands of years, Zhiqu Cang looked at Jiang Jing with calm eyes and politely greeted him first.

"Hello, Zhiqu and Chunluo." Jiang Jing nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
