Was in the middle of moving houses (previous LL's daughter raised the rent). It being New Year's week made it more hectic than I had imagined, lol. Yeah, I'm clumsy like that. Well, the chapters will be consistent from now on, probably.

Ada Wong, who had been secretly observing ever since Luke appeared, subconsciously glanced down at her own impressive curves.
If even steel could be erased so casually, then her own assets… she didn't know what kind of destruction they might face.
At the same time, inside the room, Emma, who had just sneaked over to take a look, was also peering out through the window.
When she personally witnessed Luke casually killing the seven- to eight-meter-tall Starscream, the little girl's eyes filled with madness and excitement.
Kill! He should kill!
Crush everything with absolute power!
If Emma hadn't known that her short legs couldn't carry her fast enough, she would have wanted to stand right beside Luke and revel in this moment of frenzy with him.
Thinking of that, Emma unconsciously looked at Veronica.
A trace of jealousy flashed through her eyes.
She truly wished she could trade places with Veronica. To personally kill a giant robot must be an incredibly satisfying feeling.
Emma, lost in her fantasy, failed to notice that Yulinka was standing behind her, watching her with a meaningful expression.
The Decepticons were also utterly shocked.
Megatron's arm blade had just collided with Optimus Prime's thermal sword, sparks flying everywhere, when he heard a dull thud.
He turned around...
Starscream was already dead.
Seriously? You went to deal with an Earthling and ended up dead the moment I looked away?
"Who did that?!"
Megatron forced Optimus Prime back with his blade.
Although both were leader-class combatants, Megatron, who had been built as a military-grade war machine, was slightly stronger than Optimus Prime, who had originally been a civilian model.
Most of the time, Megatron held the advantage.
It was just that at every critical moment, for some inexplicable reason, he always came up just short.
But right now, Megatron felt that his condition was perfect.
"Leader… it seems Starscream was killed by Luke?"
Stinger spoke hesitantly. "He appears to possess some kind of spatialized weapon. Starscream's energy core was destroyed instantly."
Megatron flew into a rage upon hearing this and immediately turned his gaze toward Optimus Prime.
"Optimus Prime! You actually handed spatial technology to an Earthling? Damn you! You traitor to Cybertron!"
Optimus Prime glanced briefly at Luke but offered no explanation.
An explanation would be meaningless. Megatron would never believe that an Earthling could instantly kill a Cybertronian.
Optimus Prime silently raised his thermal sword, the blade flickering with a crimson glow like flowing magma.
"You all—go and take down that damned Earthling!" Megatron immediately ordered five mass-produced Decepticons to attack.
At the same time, he reengaged Optimus Prime. "Hand over the AllSpark!"
Optimus Prime said nothing and pressed forward with his blade.
Boom!
The moment their weapons clashed again, Megatron caught sight of the battlefield out of the corner of his eye... !!!
The Decepticons he had dispatched were already defeated.
Luke and Veronica stood there completely unharmed, calmly watching the battle.
This Earthling… is extremely strange.
Megatron felt something was off. Luke clearly did not possess any visible spatial equipment at all.
But then a question arose.
If Luke didn't make a move, then who did?
"What are you looking at? Keep fighting!"
Luke frowned and scolded him. How could the dignified leader of Cybertron get distracted in the middle of battle?
"I'm looking at you. What are you going to do about it?"
Megatron couldn't stand Luke's arrogance any longer. "Stinger, Berserker, take your men and kill him!"
Stinger and Berserker immediately disengaged from their opponents. Ignoring Bumblebee and Ironhide's pursuit, they quickly led several Decepticons to surround Luke from eight directions.
Veronica rubbed her hands together and released several particle spheres, striking one of the Decepticons.
But the target was completely unharmed.
"Transformers are robots. They aren't afraid of that little bit of electricity."
Luke shook his head, bluntly pointing out that Veronica perfectly embodied the phrase "all brawn and no brains."
As a fellow disciple of Merlin, her combat performance was truly lacking.
"Use transformation spells, or ice magic."
Veronica nodded nervously, then raised a transparent shield, blocking the artillery fire from Stinger and Berserker.
Luke shook his head. Veronica possessed a wide range of abilities, but she had been protected too well by Merlin and her two senior brothers.
As a result, when facing truly powerful enemies, she struggled to respond effectively.
Luke clasped his hands together, forming a sphere of white light encased within a transparent cube.
"Forget it. Watch carefully. I'll demonstrate once. Learn properly."
"When dealing with enemies like this, the best approach is to wipe them out in one go, without giving them any chance to resist."
"Therefore… Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Luke aimed at Stinger's position. The cubic halo in his hands suddenly reshaped into a cone, releasing a pillar of pure white light.
The instant it struck Stinger, his body was stripped down to the atomic and molecular level.
Luke's body rotated, and the pillar of white light followed, sweeping in a full circle.
In less than a second, the completely unprepared Stinger, Berserker, and several Decepticons were severed at the waist by the white light and disintegrated into fundamental particles.
The Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique, which had achieved virtually nothing in the original Naruto story, accomplished an "octakill, godlike" feat here in a single breath.
Who could have imagined that this seemingly simple white light possessed such bug-level power, capable of annihilating everything?
[Killed anomalous targets Stinger and Berserker. Gained 1,400 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 2,100 / 3,500]
Megatron saw it clearly this time. He only saw white light erupt from Luke's hands and sweep across the battlefield once.
Several of his elite subordinates died without any warning.
That mysterious method made his eyelids twitch violently.
No one knew why mechanical eyelids could even twitch uncontrollably.
"Decepticons, retreat!"
Megatron did not hesitate. He forced Optimus Prime back once more, leaped into the air, transformed into a fighter jet, and fled.
Bonecrusher, however, did not immediately transform into his clumsy bulldozer form. Instead, he sprinted away on two legs toward the skyscrapers, trying to hide.
"Don't run. A family should stay together, nice and tidy~~"
Seeing his Anomaly Points about to escape, Luke was displeased.
He could tolerate the ordinary Decepticons.
But you officers—you came all this way, and now you want to leave?
Stay right there.
Megatron was just about to fly off when he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
It was far too quiet.
The once-bustling streets were now completely empty.
Only the Decepticons and the Autobots remained.
And, of course, that terrifying Earthling.
Megatron knew nothing about the so-called Mirror Dimension. He continued flying, trying desperately to escape this strange world.
Yet no matter how far he flew, he always ended up back at the starting point, as if he could never escape Luke's grasp.
Optimus Prime and the other Autobots watched helplessly as Luke casually toyed with the Decepticon elites.
They had originally believed that the Autobots had come to help the Earthlings.
But now it seemed they were the ones standing before an existence far more terrifying.
Luke then opened his mouth, and an overwhelming mass of azure-blue energy began to gather deep within his throat.
Optimus Prime and the others saw it clearly, and the image of their recent encounter with Godzilla instantly surfaced in their minds.
"That's… Atomic Breath? How does he know how to use that as well?"
Ratchet was certain it was nuclear energy. Although it was considered a low-level energy source, in the hands of Luke and Godzilla, it could unleash world-destroying power.
"I too..."
It was even more terrifying than the antimatter energy batteries they themselves controlled.
"Am..."
Luke exhaled lightly, and a terrifying pillar of high-temperature energy surged forth.
"Atomic!"
It resembled the Detachment of the Primitive World Technique in appearance, yet differed fundamentally in principle and was vastly more powerful. The beam roared across tens of thousands of meters, grazing Megatron's body.
One of Megatron's wings was instantly torn apart, and he nearly lost control due to the instability.
Before he could steady himself, Luke slowly adjusted his aim. The terrifying pillar of Atomic Breath methodically tore Megatron apart, incinerating him piece by piece.
Megatron desperately maintained his energy shield in defense, but under the sustained assault, the shield shattered. His body disintegrated, breaking apart into scattered points of starlight that fell from the sky.
Luke did not stop there. He shifted the Atomic Breath toward Bonecrusher and the remaining Decepticons, erasing them along with the Mirror Dimension skyscraper they were hiding in.
After Luke finished his sweep, not a single tall building remained within tens of thousands of meters of Mirror New York. Everything had been pierced through and torn apart by the Atomic Breath.
After accomplishing all of this,
Luke had consumed only two hundred units of energy in total.
That was merely one-tenth of the bonus energy provided by the Casket of Ancient Winters.
In truth, wiping out the Decepticons did not require such an overwhelming display, but Luke wanted to familiarize himself with his new ability.
The results proved that even without using Planetary Devastation (Tensei), he already possessed destructive power at least on the level of an entire city.

[Reality Editor upgraded to Version 4.4. Current Anomaly Points: 300 / 3,600]
Combat was exhilarating.
Looking at his handiwork, Luke felt extremely satisfied.
He suddenly grew fond of this strange, anomalous universe.
He even wondered whether there would still be so many randomly inserted anomalous targets if he were to leave this universe.
