Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

The teaching building was shrouded in the thick darkness of the night, and even the chirping of summer insects was silenced by the deathly stillness, leaving only the soft sound of the wind rustling through the fallen leaves.

A man dressed in a monk's robe, with stitches on his forehead, arrived. He surveyed the traces of the battle around him and sighed softly.

"There wasn't even ashes left, really."

"This is what happens when you disobey." The figure in purple robes landed silently beside him, a watch face on his fingertip slowly gleaming with cold light.

Swartz lowered his eyes and stroked the texture of the dial, his tone completely calm.

"At least for now, we can't confront that kid head-on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the watch face on his fingertips suddenly began to spin.

"Click—"

A soft sound broke the deathly silence, the surrounding air suddenly distorted, and tiny glimmers of light rose from the ground.

The battle that had taken place here was rapidly replayed in fragmented pieces, and finally, the lingering echo that was once called "The Real Person" was pulled by an invisible force and completely drawn into the vortex of the dial.

"He can't be saved." Swartz casually tossed the watch face to the person beside him.

"Sometimes, inanimate objects can be far more useful than living people."

He paused, glanced at the other person sideways, and his tone became a bit more serious.

"Stop creating unnecessary complications and making trouble."

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Swartz." Luso nodded.

"So now we..."

Before they could finish speaking, a boastful voice came from above them.

"Heh, you actually managed to catch someone?"

Upon hearing this voice, the two of them trembled violently.

They looked up and saw a young man sitting on the windowsill on the second floor, looking down at them.

"Hey, this is completely unexpected." Lu Su broke out in a cold sweat.

Lin Shiye's lips curled into a smile, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Hey, nice to meet you two stinky rats."

"Run!" Swartz made a quick decision.

But the next second, a terrifying sound effect came from above.

"The End"

Dark golden energy shot into the sky, instantly tearing the night sky apart. Lin Shiye transformed into a demon, unleashing a devastating force as he kicked out from the sky!

Swartz was terrified and frantically pulled out a watch face and pressed the buttons.

"BLACK HOLE"

The silver-white knight phantom instantly materialized in front of him, its body swirling with a dark vortex of gravity. Facing the attack that descended from the sky, it kicked out with all its might.

boom--!!

A deafening explosion erupted, and a terrifying energy shockwave swept out like a tsunami, instantly obliterating everything around it. The entire city trembled slightly in the aftershocks.

On the street, the idle Chicken was blown off balance by the strong wind and turned to look in the direction of the energy burst.

"How dare you cause trouble on my territory! You have some nerve!"

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked over there.

At the Emiya residence, Tsukasa Kadoya, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and looked through the wall towards the direction from which the energy fluctuations were coming from. After thinking for a few seconds, he got dressed and went out of his room.

The living room lights turned on one by one, and Shirou Emiya, Sakura Matou, and Artoria came out one after another.

"Are there enemies?" Emiya Shirou asked first.

"It's nothing serious, you guys can go back to sleep." Tsukasa Kadoya waved his hand, picked up his camera, and then disappeared from the spot.

In the watch shop, Ilya watched as Mei Zhen switched forms in an instant and asked:

"Are you going to find Shi Ye?"

"Yes, with such a commotion, of course we have to go and take a look." Mei Zhen nodded.

Ilya nodded, lay back down on the bed, and remembered what her Archer had whispered to Lin Shiye on the way back.

.........

Back to the scene.

The summoned silver knight had long since vanished, Swartz lay half-dead on the ground, and Luso was in even worse shape, almost completely torn to pieces.

Lin Shiye stood on the scorched ground. He glanced at the two barely alive people, thought for a moment, and decided to give up on questioning them and just kill them.

"You probably won't tell me what your conspiracy is, so you might as well just die."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a whooshing sound came from behind.

"Long time no see, kid!"

A figure wielding a giant blade descended from the sky, the blade carrying a strong wind as it slashed fiercely towards Lin Shiye's back. The person who came was none other than Qige, whom he had named back then.

A crisp clang rang out.

The blade struck the armor, but left not a single mark.

"Get out of my way, you nuisance." Lin Shiye didn't even turn his head, and instead pushed out with a backhand.

Zig felt an overwhelming force slam into his chest, as if he had been hit head-on by a heavy train traveling at full speed. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ruins in the distance.

Lin Shiye knew in his heart that this Zieg was different from ordinary nightmares.

It is not a product of one person's fear, but a nightmare of the entire world, an aggregate of evils similar to those of this world, yet entirely different.

Destroying the Holy Grail's activation device would dissipate the evil of this world, depriving it of its source. But this thing is different. As long as humanity exists and the world continues, it will never truly perish. Even if it is reduced to ashes, it will re-form after a while, at most losing some of its power.

Lin Shiye had already noticed this when he killed him last time. In fact, because of the name he had given him, he had become his subordinate in a sense and had become stronger.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Zig crawled out of the ruins, covered in blood, grimacing and howling as he shouted in their direction.

"You treat me so cruelly after we've been apart for so long? Are you even human?!"

Lin Shiye ignored him and launched another knight kick at Swartz, who was lying on the ground. As for Lu Suo... he could be killed by the aftershocks on the roadside.

Just as the attack was about to land, a cloak suddenly tore through the air, as if it had a life of its own, wrapped around the two barely alive people on the ground, and pulled them back sharply.

Lin Shiye's attack missed its mark, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed with a loud crash. He frowned and turned to look at the knight in green armor not far away.

"Woz?" Lin Shiye was taken aback.

He thought that since he wasn't Tokiwa Sougo, he wouldn't have that celebratory old man, but it turns out that his celebratory monster was standing on the other side.

The green knight didn't speak, gave him a deep look, and then disappeared from the spot.

Lin Shiye did not stop him. He deactivated his transformation and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

…………

Soon, Woz returned to the base with Swartz and Luso, who were barely alive. As soon as he put them down, he clutched his chest, looking exhausted and weak.

"How did it get like this?" Tide walked over with a frown, his tone filled with undisguised disgust.

"They ran into Lin Shiye. Nightmare and I fought with all our might to save them." Woz slid down to the ground with his back against the wall, his voice weak and powerless, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

"Thanks for your hard work." Tide glanced at the two half-dead people on the ground and scoffed.

"Swartz is a piece of trash."

He paused, then added, "Luckily, that kid couldn't catch up here. You and Nightmare should go and rest first. Leave these two good-for-nothings to Ur and Aura."

"……Um."

Woz responded softly, struggled to his feet against the wall, and slowly walked out.

As he turned the corner of the corridor, he bumped into Zieg.

Zieg leaned against the wall, arms crossed, staring intently at him, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. As they brushed past each other, he slowly uttered two words in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Loading the goods~"

Woz ignored him and quickened his pace, but the image of the dark golden figure he had just seen kept replaying in his mind, and a faint blush crept onto his face.

……

"This world should belong to that great one!"

"But I heard that the power of the Time King was taken by a brat?"

"But it's alright, he's just a little brat, he's no threat at all!"

"In some possible future, that person has already defeated him!" Woz was preparing to go to that possible future to take a good look at the defeated man.

"Haha, he's clearly the king of time, yet he still lost. How pathetic he must be!"

Wozniak's face was full of mocking smiles as he continued to race forward in the torrent of time.

"What a miserable look that must have been on his face!"

Finally, Woz landed in a desolate, ruined world, where only broken walls and rubble remained, and even the wind carried the scent of death.

The man in black robes walked past him, his footsteps light, yet seemingly on the pulse of time. The man's disheveled long hair covered half his face, revealing a cold and weathered jawline, and he exuded an oppressive aura that seemed to freeze time itself.

The man didn't even spare him a glance.

Wozniak froze on the spot, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, making his eardrums buzz.

"...A bunch of idiots." Woz's voice trembled, his face in the shadows bearing an almost pious certainty.

"You are not even worth a hair on Lord Shi Ye's head."
