Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Kaguya felt dizzy and her forehead was warm. Her vision was blurred by blood and rain. She struggled and found that her legs were stuck in the deformed seat, unable to move.

"Uh...cough..." She heard her father's labored and painful breathing beside her. She saw Shinomiya Gan'an slumped against the broken car window, a large dark bloodstain seeping into the front of his expensive suit.

His face was ashen, and his breath was weak. He had clearly suffered a fatal injury in the tumbling. This business tycoon was now like a broken bellows.

Huang Guang, sitting in the front row, was in slightly better condition. He seemed to have only suffered some scratches and fright. After his initial shock, he glanced ahead at the golden figure of death that was closing in step by step, and then at his dying father and trapped sister behind him.

Fear instantly overwhelmed everything on his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, or even a single word.

He slammed open the slightly deformed car door with his shoulder and tumbled into the torrential rain! He didn't even look back, just desperately and undignifiedly fled in the opposite direction from Odin!

His usual calmness, arrogance, and sense of responsibility as an elder brother shattered completely in the face of absolute unknown terror.

“Huang…guang…” Shinomiya Gan’an seemed to want to say something, but could only utter incoherent breaths and bloody spittle. A flash of utter despair crossed his eyes, followed by utter defeat.

"Final Vent (Final Arrival)".

Deep, inhuman electronic sound effects penetrated the sound of rain.

Golden wings unfurled behind Odin, and time seemed to stand still around him. The next instant, his figure transformed into a golden meteor streaking across the heavens and earth, pursuing the enemy at a speed beyond the reach of sight!

In the distance, a brief, inhuman scream, almost drowned out by the sound of rain, followed by the muffled thud of something heavy being utterly destroyed.

Then, everything returned to the clamor of the downpour. Only that golden figure, as if having completed a trivial sweep, slowly turned around again, its compound eyes locking onto the overturned vehicle and onto Kaguya once more.

Extreme fear gripped Kaguya's heart, chilling her to the bone. She watched the golden Grim Reaper approach step by step, then saw the direction her brother had fled in, now silent. Her mind went blank, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably. The pride, wisdom, and cunning of the Shinomiya family heiress… all were utterly meaningless under the crushing force of pure violence and mystery.

Just then, a cold, trembling, yet unusually strong hand gripped her wrist tightly.

Kaguya turned her head, and there was her father! Shinomiya Karen!

The dying old man, his chest stained with blood, suddenly found a surge of power and used his other arm to brace against the twisted car body, trying to move his heavy, dying body between Kaguya and the golden knight.

His movements were as slow as a snail's pace, each step accompanied by painful spasms and more blood gushing out. His face was as pale as gold paper, but his eyes shone with a frightening intensity as he stared intently and stubbornly ahead, using his last breath to build a fragile yet resolute human wall.

He wanted to protect her.

This father, who was cold-hearted throughout his life and treated his children as pawns and tools in Kaguya's eyes, tried to protect his youngest daughter in the most primitive, clumsy, and tragic way in the last moment of his life, in contrast to the betrayal, escape, and murder of his other son.

"Father……"

Kaguya's voice choked in her throat, and tears finally broke free, mingling with rain and blood as they streamed down her face. She looked at her father's dying yet stubborn profile, at that expression she had never shown before, an expression that belonged to "father" rather than "head of the family."

Odin's golden figure was already close, his staff raised, and the shadow of death loomed over him.

In Kaguya's eyes, all that remained was her father's trembling yet immensely large back, his heavily wounded body standing in front of her.

[Detected that Kaguya Shinomiya's feelings for her family have reached the required level!]

P.S.: This novel was purely for the sake of this little bit of vinegar at the beginning (laughs). It's a pity that Hedgehog Cat can't write Dragon Raja, and it was originally planned to be written by a certain elephant teacher, but I'm too scared to touch it now (fearful).

Having transmigrated, my only purpose is to kill, kill, kill! : 11. [Daily Anime Crossover] Building a Media Empire with Big Data and AI

it is good!it is good!it is good!

See, this is what high efficiency looks like!

The completion rate was not high enough, so I didn't get a chance to participate in the temporary lottery.

But then again, I haven't even tried my luck with the lottery from the last mission yet.

Should we continue smoking now, or...?

Looking at the convulsing old man and the girl staring at her with hatred, Tsugumi's thoughts had already drifted off to another world.

Leaving directly like that is certainly an option, but... it won't maximize your profits.

Tsugumi must admit that none of his three character cards are powerful enough at present.

The current world's third character card is just an ordinary person, needless to say. Although he has been greatly enhanced by his general combat skills, he is still just a mortal.

The Saint character card is not much different from ordinary people. Although he has the passive skill of the Sleepless, this skill is very limited in most situations, especially when dealing with ordinary people—even evil people. At most, they will feel fear and unease in front of him.

If he lands in a Hueco Mundo, this skill might make him feel like he has Radiance, but unfortunately, it's not very useful in most situations.

As for the miracle of the extinction?

By modern standards, do you think this qualifies as a mass extinction?

Although he was quite curious, Tsurugi suppressed his bold idea—it wasn't anything else, but this skill could only be activated once per world, which was like a limited-quantity item in a game for a hardcore RPG player like him, something he was reluctant to discard even when facing the final boss.

Putting those two aside, the Veil of Desire, this universal item, is undeniably useful, but it still lacks combat power. The Astartes Card is also a limited-use item, and aside from the fact that it only lasts for thirty minutes, its combat power is definitely not enough to make him a Homelander.

So in the end, the only thing he has the most fighting power and the easiest way to protect himself is the Demon Noble character card.

He checked his character card once again.

Character Card: Demon Noble

Inscribed Profession: [Goetia Noble (Count)]

Skill Status: [Goetia Spellbook (lv1)], [Media Authority (lv2)], [I am Hell (lv4)], [Both legs were broken by the butler (lvMAX)] [General skills omitted]

【Grimoire of Goetia (LV1)】

As a noble among the demons of hell, one can possess a hellish grimoire containing endless terrifying magic and power. One can unleash hellish magic by reciting its incantations, but will automatically forget all spells upon leaving the grimoire. The grimoire is currently activated; one must pay the price of 'sin' to obtain more Goetia magic.

Current number of engraving spells: 3

[Media Power: Lv2]

'Born from the concept of media, this demonic noble's power allows you to manipulate and broadcast anything within your sphere of influence that can be called media, and permits you to traverse within the media covered by your power. Activating this power requires magic power; the more magic power you have, the wider the range you can control.'

【I am hell: Lv4】

No changes, omitted.

[His legs were broken by the butler (LvMAX)]

No changes, omitted.

Current items held: Blank Astartes Card, Veil of Desire

Tsugumi glanced at her own universal skill as well.

[AI Technology Explained: Lv1]

'Gain comprehensive knowledge of artificial intelligence technology'

Hmm, a great general skill that gets my cerebral cortex spinning—but this thing doesn't really help with combat ability.

Therefore, this is the biggest problem facing Dongjiang right now.

Of his three character cards, only the Demon Noble character card actually possesses real combat power, but even that combat power is questionable.

Opening the grimoire, there were no words or contents inside. On the pages of this stone-like grimoire was drawn an inverted Kabbalah Tree of Life, and only four branches could be lit on the first level.

This means that at LV1, his Goetia spellbook can only unlock a maximum of four Goetia spells.

Because his ring master is Asmodeus, the three Goetia spells currently unlocked are all mental and illusion-based.

Malleable Illusions, Glamers, and Shadows

The illusion of change is a very realistic illusion that breaks at the slightest touch. The illusion of the five senses is magic that deceives the target's senses, while the illusion of shadows uses extradimensional energy to create semi-realistic things; it is the only magic that can cause physical effects.

Tsugumi just tried all three—Odin's illusion was created using the illusion of change, the burning sensation of the phoenix was created using the illusion of the five senses, and the shadow illusion was used on 'Final Descent' to increase the destructive power of the kick.

As a result, the destructive power he can create with his meager magical power and current demonic body is probably limited to kicking a large vehicle away with one kick.

This is not because he is weak, but because of the limitations of the demonic body—the ability of "I am Hell" grants him immortality, but because of this, he needs to pay for power to maintain his existence in the material plane, and he needs enough power to replenish himself.

Unlocking magic from a grimoire requires power, casting spells requires power, using powers requires power, and maintaining and strengthening your demonic body also requires power!

This 'magic' is not simply pure energy. Although there are ways to replenish it by directly absorbing souls or by sensing the pain of others, what is needed to rapidly increase one's power and authority and maintain these is the development of one's own power.

In other words, for him, it was about developing the 'media' sphere—the power of demons comes from their true names, and the true names themselves are the embodiment of their power.

His great extermination in Rome was a benefit he gained from presenting this 'performance' to the entire Roman Empire, but because he later switched to the saint role card to become the angel extermination, he didn't get to enjoy the biggest share of the bonus.

After all, the main force behind the extermination was always the 'angels' and 'Jesus', while the 'demon' at the beginning only made a brief appearance before disappearing.

Even so, he still gained a level of power through his initial performance and appearance.

In other words, the 'media' is the source of his power—if he wants to expand his power and increase his strength, he can only cultivate the 'media' field deeply, and the wider and broader the scope of his control and influence, the more power he will gain, and the more inexhaustible it will be!

The source of demonic power and the faith in gods are essentially not much different!

Therefore, this is also the reason why it is best for him not to leave this world for the time being.

He needs to stay here temporarily to level up in this crossover anime world and enhance the power of his Demon Noble character card. He already has a plan on how to build a vast media empire in the shortest possible time.

Plagiarism? No, no, no! With AI and capital, who still wants to toil away as a writer or artist!

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the golden knight who had stopped moving with some strangeness, but the next second her eyes became blank.

Holding the grimoire, Tsugumi chanted complex and ancient incantations, releasing Glamer and Malleable Illusions once more. After closing the book, he returned to his human form.

Five, four, three, two, one, the illusion is complete.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked up, and in the flames of the exploding gasoline, a pale-skinned but inhumanly handsome young man reached out his hand to her, revealing a seductive smile.

"I've already chased that guy away, so, do you need any help, miss?"

......

The cold LCD screen emitted a faint glow, making Kasumigaoka Utaha's plain and delicate face appear somewhat pale.

Only one light source was on in her room. Piles of books were stacked silently in the shadows. The air was filled with the mixed scent of paper, ink, and a faint fragrance—the scent that belonged to her, to the bestselling light novel author, Kasumi Shiko.

She is in a very bad mood right now.

Her finger hovered over the touchpad, where the screen displayed the official website of VOX Media, one of Tokyo's hottest emerging companies.

This is a huge company that has suddenly emerged in recent months. It has swallowed up several established media companies in the capital market with an almost aggressive attitude. The public opinion surrounding this new company has been very bad, with rumors of hostile takeovers and that the other party has repeatedly used illegal means to acquire a large number of shares.

It is said that the company's boss, 'Tsugumi,' comes from a neighboring country, possesses extremely strong network information technology skills, and has received strong support from conglomerates such as the Shinomiya Zaibatsu.

However, these capital market matters have little to do with Kasumigaoka Utaha.
