Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan

The giant freight elevator connecting the upper and lower levels hasn't been this busy in over a decade.

The heavy gears creaked and groaned, and the thick steel cables were taut and straight.

On the elevator platform stood a bizarrely styled united army.

Ahead, Luo Chen's crimson-gold vertical pupils were as calm as still water. He stared at the approaching dome, as if he were looking at a thin sheet of paper rather than a steel barrier.

"Boss, when we go up there, should we smash down the door first, or just raze the street to the ground?"

Xing carried a baseball bat that shone with golden light, as excited as a husky about to rush into a buffet restaurant.

Her adoration for Luo Chen had long since reached the level of blind devotion. With just a word from her boss, she could turn the entire sewers of Belleburg upside down.

"Shut up, you bandits." Luo Chen didn't even turn his head. "We are the pioneers of civilization."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, if someone insists on coming up with their face, I don't mind teaching them what a comminuted fracture is."

Behind them, the Starry Sky Train crew stood ready.

Seele held a giant purple scythe, while Schwarz stood like a mobile fortress.

Behind them, countless automatons, Grizzly and Toothed Wolf, stood in neat rows.

Alien visitors, underground resistance, ancient weapons.

This ragtag army is about to launch its most devastating attack on the lies of the rulers of the Ice City.

Clang!

With a dull thud, the elevator reached the top.

The heavy isolation gates that had sealed off the lower levels for ten years slid open slowly with a piercing screech, under Schwarz's highest authority.

The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, poured in.

But before this cold front could even get close to March 7th, it was instantly evaporated into white mist by a scorching heat just three meters away from Luo Chen.

Luo Chen strode forward and stepped onto the upper level.

What comes into view is a military restricted area.

There was no expected barrage of fire, nor the Silver Mane Iron Guard army.

A few roadblocks were scattered across the empty square.

Behind the roadblock stood a slender figure.

The silver-haired girl wore a crisp Silvermane Iron Guard high-ranking officer's uniform and gripped a heavy musket tightly in her hand.

The wind and snow tousled her hair, but could not dispel the resolute determination in her icy blue eyes.

There is still a deep sense of confusion.

Bronya Rand, heir to the High Guardians.

"Stop here, intruder."

Bronya held her musket level, aiming the muzzle at Luo Chen.

The voice tried its best to remain steady, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a slight tremor.

As the adopted daughter of the Great Guardian, she received a secret order from Cocolia to withdraw the warrant for her arrest.

But out of a sense of responsibility, she couldn't just stand by and watch these "dangerous elements" march in unimpeded.

Even though Jepard had privately warned that the man in black's power was beyond the comprehension of ordinary standards.

"Are you alone?"

Luo Chen stopped and glanced at her with boredom.

"Your High Guardian doesn't even have the courage to send someone to their death? Pushing his adopted daughter forward as a shield?"

"You are not allowed to insult Mother!"

Bronya gritted her teeth and retorted sharply.

"This is my personal decision! No matter how powerful you are, as one of the commanders of the Silvermane Iron Guard, I will not allow you to disrupt the peace of Beloborg! If you want to set foot in the Upper District, you'll have to get off my dead body..."

"Stop talking big, you sheltered princess."

A voice, thick with gunpowder, came from behind.

Seele strode out, carrying a giant purple scythe.

Her violet eyes were fixed on Bronya, filled with the pent-up anger of the people of the lower districts that had been building up for over a decade.

"Peace and tranquility? You call this false prosperity, maintained by sucking the blood of the lower classes, peace and tranquility?"

"You're up there enjoying heating and fancy food, while we're down there struggling for a few pieces of moldy, black bread!"

"Now you're coming out to play the tragic hero? Who are you trying to fool?!"

"I……"

Faced with the undisguised accusations, Bronya's eyes showed panic.

She had been to the lower levels and witnessed the horrors firsthand.

That was the root of her inner turmoil.

"No need to waste words with her."

Luo Chen had his hands in his trench coat pockets, his tone indifferent.

"This girl has been brainwashed by her crazy foster mother. Schwarz, show her the stock. Let her know what she's desperately protecting."

"Instruction received. Begin projecting history."

Schwarzlo's emotionless synthesized voice rang out.

A red light flashed on his chest, and a huge holographic projection unfolded in the sky above the snow-covered square.

The scene shows the altar ravaged by wind and snow.

The current High Guardian, Cocolia Rand, knelt before an irregular sphere emitting an eerie golden light.

That face, which always presented itself with authority to Bronya, was now twisted into a chilling frenzy.

"...Yes. I heard it. The will to preserve is false; Beloborg is destined for destruction..."

"...Only through destruction, only by accepting the bounty of the star core, can new life be born..."

"...I will abandon them. Upper and lower levels alike, everything will return to nothingness..."

The projected sound clearly reached everyone's ears.

That was a top-secret video of Cocolia's spiritual connection with the Star Core, which was intercepted and preserved by the ancient network system.

"No...this isn't real..."

Bronya's pupils contracted sharply.

The musket clattered to the ground in the snow.

She felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, and the world spun around her.

"Mother...you're abandoning Belloberg? You're going to destroy everyone?!"

"Then what about my unwavering principles of loyalty... my trust in her...?"

For a pure soldier, the collapse of faith is more cruel than death.

Bronya's legs buckled, and she knelt on the snow.

She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming through her fingers.

"Hey, it's already broken down?"

Seele looked at Bronya kneeling on the ground crying, and her anger suddenly felt like a punch hitting cotton.

I feel inexplicably irritable.

She couldn't stand this kind of weakness, especially this princess who enjoyed a life of luxury but was kept in the dark like a fool.

He strode forward, grabbed Bronya by the collar, and yanked her up from the snow.

"Stop crying! Will crying solve anything?!"

Seele stared fiercely at her bloodshot eyes.

"Now that you know that woman is crazy, stand up! See for yourself! Stop her with your own hands!"

"If you don't even have the courage to face the truth, you don't deserve to be this damn heir, and you're even less qualified to stand in our way!"

"Seele..."

Bronya stared blankly at the fierce-looking girl from the lower class in front of her.

Although the words were merciless, she sensed an awkward warmth in those purple eyes.

I'm trying to help her.

"Alright, stop with this melodramatic soap opera."

Luo Chen walked past them without even glancing at Bronya.

Whether it's Bronya's collapse of faith or Cocolia's betrayal, they are just dust on this planet.

What he really cared about was the "tumor" hidden deep inside.

"That madwoman is no longer in Cripperburg."

Luo Chen's crimson-gold vertical pupils gazed further north.

That place is an absolute forbidden zone shrouded in deadly blizzards all year round.

"That broken rock sensed my presence; it was afraid, so it summoned a puppet to protect it."

"She should be in Everwinter Ridge now, preparing to forcibly merge with the star core and drag this planet down with her."

"Eternal Winter Ridge?"

Dan Heng's expression hardened. "That's where the first Great Guardian sealed the star core hundreds of years ago!"

"Let's go."

Luo Chen did not stop walking.

His silhouette stood proudly and wildly in the wind and snow.

"She wanted to play the 'divine intervention' act, so I went to that sacred site and smashed her and that rock into dust."

"All personnel, target: Yongdong Ridge."

"Prepare for...demolition."

North of Belleberg. Everwinter Ridge.

The area with the lowest temperatures and the most intense storms in the entire Arillo-VI region.

The once bustling old city is now permanently sealed underground by ice tens of meters thick.

On the highest, most towering ice altar, raging imaginary energy formed a massive tornado.

Cocolia Rand floated in mid-air.

Her magnificent coat, which once symbolized the majesty of the Great Guardian, is now shattered, replaced by divine armor woven from frost and star core energy.

His eyes were filled with pitch-black energy, and his hands gathered absolute chill that could freeze a city instantly.

"Power...this is the power promised by the Star Core..."

Cocolia let out a bizarre, maniacal laugh mixed with electronic sounds.

She could feel herself surpassing human limits and transforming into the so-called "Star God" realm.

"With this power, neither those rebellious ants nor that unfathomable man in black..."

"They will all be frozen into ice sculptures in eternal stillness!"

Just as she was immersed in a false sense of omnipotence—

"—With this meager amount of low-quality energy, you dare to try and freeze me?"

A disdainful snort pierced through the energy storm created by the star core and exploded above the altar.

"Who?!"

Cocolia turned her head sharply, and an ice spear instantly materialized in her hand.

boom!

The wind and snow ahead were forcefully cleaved apart by an invisible high-pressure field.

Luo Chen led the group up the altar, treading on the flattened snow path.

He looked at Cocolia, who had become completely "imaginary" in mid-air, and the golden star core behind her that was emitting a distorted light.

He shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment at seeing the inferior product.

"I thought that stone would bring about a huge qualitative change."

Luo Chen put his hands in his pockets, his crimson-gold vertical pupils coldly scrutinizing Cocolia.

"In the end, all I did was turn you into a 'giant filter' for absorbing magical remnants."

"You haven't even drawn out one ten-thousandth of the true power of the star core. You're like a bloated balloon, ready to explode at any moment."

"Shut up! You ignorant heretic!"

Bewitched by the star core, Cocolia refused to listen to anything.

Dignity does not allow anyone to desecrate her "divinity" at this moment.

"I am the guide to the new world! I will here, with this absolute cold, grant you eternal peace!"

"—Prepare for destruction! [The final echo of creation!]!"

Cocolia raised her hands.

The magical power of ice and snow from the entire Yongdong Ridge converged wildly.

Dozens of enormous ice pillars, each a hundred meters long, fell from the sky with a terrifying shriek that could tear the sound barrier apart, crashing down upon us!

The imaginary energy of the star core transformed into countless black lightning bolts, sealing off all escape routes.

"Watch out, uncle! This is direct interference from the star core!"

March 7th was so frightened that she raised the Extreme Ice Longbow, but the energy fluctuations made her hand tremble as she drew the string.

"Boss!"

Xing gripped the baseball bat tightly, wanting to rush forward and force his way in.

"Step back. Don't get in my way."

Luo Chen's voice remained calm, and even his breathing rhythm did not change.

He didn't even glance at the devastating ice pillars and lightning.

Faced with this "full-screen ultimate move", he simply slowly pulled his right hand out of his trench coat pocket.

The holy sword was not touched.

The vast universe without a simulated star map.

He simply compressed and fused the [Crimson Dragon Body] and [Third Star Particle Body] within his body into his right arm in an extremely small way.

then.

Facing the arrogant "Ice and Snow False God" in mid-air.

Extremely casually.

He snapped his fingers.

Snapped.

A crisp snap of fingers.

next second.

Time seemed to have been forcibly stopped by an invisible, gigantic hand throughout the entire Yongdong Ridge.

Followed by.

Buzz—!!!

An energy that cannot be described in any language erupted in a fan shape forward from Luo Chen's fingertip!

Those dozens of ice pillars, each a hundred meters tall, shattered the instant they came into contact with the invisible fluctuations, without even the process of breaking apart being considered.

It vaporizes directly into a void atomic state in mid-air!

Those black imaginary lightning bolts, like spider silk that had been torn apart, instantly disintegrated and vanished without a trace!

"Wh...what?!"

Cocolia's arrogant smile froze completely.

She didn't even have time to make a defensive move.

That terrifying mass storm crashed into her from a distance.

Bang!!!!!

"Pfft—!"

Cocolia's Frost Armor shattered instantly.

She was as if she had been hit head-on by an interstellar train, spitting out blood and flying backward.

Even more terrifying, that force pierced through her body and slammed into the golden [Star Core] behind her!

Click!

A sickening cracking sound.

The so-called "cancer of all worlds" that was said to be able to destroy the world had a huge crack forcibly broken open on its surface by the aftershock of the "snap"!

The violent energy instantly weakened, emitting a buzzing wail like a computer crashing.

one strike.

The false god of ice and snow was severely damaged.

The star core breaches the defenses.

It was just a snap of the fingers.

"I already said that."

Luo Chen lowered his hand and coldly looked at Cocolia, who was lying in the ruins of the altar, covered in blood.

"Don't try to play tricks on me."
