Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Undead leaders like Shalltear are willing to destroy everything to avenge Ainz Ooal Gown, but they don't have the guts to disobey him, so they resort to a very despicable method."

"Retain the title of Emperor of the Blood Emperor and give him the power to inspect the capital. In other words, the empire still has one person left, an emperor with a clear banner and power. So it cannot be considered the destruction of the country."

"By doing this superficial work, they can say that they have not broken Ainz Ooal Gown's promise."

"Of course, this part was within Kousaka Kyosuke's expectations. What really shocked him and made him glare angrily was another thing he saw."

"In the capital, there is not only the Blood Emperor, but also another person, an old man who is very old."

"In stark contrast to the Blood Emperor, who had a look of utter devastation on his face, that old man was always full of enthusiasm, holding a book and muttering to himself while using magic to practice. He used the walking corpses in the city as targets, wantonly destroying and transforming them to demonstrate his knowledge and progress."

"Kousaka Kyosuke was initially puzzled as to why the old man, who exuded a pure human aura, could act so recklessly and communicate with the high-ranking undead who oversaw the Blood Emperor on an equal footing."

"Then he saw it—the old man, nearing the end of his life, asked the higher undead to help him become the purest undead, then laughed heartily and went back to holding his book, reveling in the progress of magic."

"Upon witnessing this scene, Kyosuke Kosaka and the Blood Emperor reacted identically, their eyes bloodshot and filled with a murderous rage, unable to calm down for a long time."

"Give me the order to immediately unite all steel-grade adventurers and troops to capture—no, kill—the imperial traitor, Fruda!"

Veins bulged, and the sound of boiling blood could be heard from every vein. His fingernails scratched his face until the skin bled. The Blood Emperor's voice, as he issued the wanted notice, was incredibly hoarse and deep.

He didn't expect it... he really didn't expect it.

He had been mentally prepared for his situation beforehand, so even when he saw himself in such a sorry state, he was only slightly upset and not particularly angry.

He knew why his future self would surrender. He was a proud man, and it must have been because he saw that the Magic Kingdom was so powerful that it was completely invincible that he took the initiative to request to become a vassal state, attempting to protect the entire nation.

Even without dignity, as long as he can live, that's enough. That's what he'll definitely think in the future.

His surrender was merely a means to preserve the country, not a genuine submission to the undead rulers.

Otherwise, if things were to deteriorate to that point in the future, why would he still cling to his human identity?

Given his special status, which was once guaranteed by Ainz Ooal Gown, he could almost certainly get the chance to become an undead if he just asked.

After becoming undead, they will no longer have the disadvantages of being 'inferior humans', so they will definitely not be oppressed and can live a good life.

Even so, he kept his mouth shut in the future, never asking for such an opportunity. Instead, he wanted to live to the end with the identity of the Blood Emperor, the human race, and the empire that existed in name only.

As the emperor of the empire and as the pride of humanity, he, the Blood Emperor, never gave up, from birth to death!

However, Freda, whom he placed high hopes on and whom he regarded as a mentor, did not hesitate to become a traitor in order to obtain the reward of that book of magical knowledge.

This is the one thing he will never forgive, no matter what. The shame that Freuda brought to the empire can only be repaid with death!

"Yes!" The imperial general was taken aback at first, then his face turned red as he responded loudly and hurriedly went out to assemble the troops.

He had never seen an emperor so emotionally expressive... but considering what Freud had done, it wasn't surprising at all.

"Traitor... How could you disgrace yourself like this, Furuda..." The general's eyes sharpened as he gripped his weapon tightly and roared before his thousands of elite soldiers, "Follow me! Suppress the rebels!"

As a fellow resident of the capital, Freuda understood his current predicament without a second thought, and he coldly scoffed:

"A bunch of ignorant fools. What does it matter if they betray the empire and humanity in order to explore the mysteries of magic? It's a pity they didn't have time to take away the precious books and experimental materials."

His figure gradually became illusory as he used a sixth-order teleportation spell to escape from here, intending to find a way to join the Magic Kingdom, just like in the future.

679. Evilue: Zetsu Zetsumei, what do you want to do?

"..."

The more he looked, the stranger his expression became.

When the emperor of the world of Emilia saw the end, he could no longer maintain his composure, and every gesture on his face betrayed his vulnerability.

They look so alike, so incredibly similar.

He too was once diligent and hardworking, just as the Blood Emperor was once diligent and hardworking after listening to Evilai's explanation from Kyosuke Kousaka. He too was once betrayed, just as the Blood Emperor was once betrayed. And coincidentally, the suffixes of their countries' names were both "empire" rather than "kingdom".

The only difference was that he died a swift and decisive death, while the Blood Emperor was not brutally murdered.

However, whether it's more painful to die or to have one's dignity trampled on while still alive is a matter of opinion.

In short, not only were they similar in status and experience, but he also shared a sense of resonance—he could feel that the Blood Emperor was just like him, not only ambitious but also inherently proud!

This shared experience made him feel as if he were seeing a replica of himself, a middle-aged version, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

"Only you know yourself best. Although we haven't met yet, I'm already certain that we're lifelong confidants. We'll have so much to talk about when we meet... Don't die, Blood Emperor. I'm waiting to discuss the art of governing with you."

With his hand resting on his chest, near his heart, the emperor whispered softly, sounding rather nervous.

The Inuyasha world was set fifty years in the future, but now the Evilai world will either be set thirty years in the future or thirty years in the future, leading to two different outcomes.

If it were thirty years from now, even if Kyosuke Kousaka hadn't gone to save the Blood Emperor, the Blood Emperor's unyielding and proud actions alone would have caused the Undead to lose face and prestige in front of the remaining living beings worldwide, and the Sorcerer Kingdom would have certainly killed him immediately.

There's no way we can wait until the world is unified before we can rescue people.

Whether lamenting the Blood Emperor's human pride or seeking to save the survivors who died during those dark twenty years, the people of Earth and the previous three worlds, including the Emperor, prayed that this time it would be best to merge with the period thirty years ago.

"As for that traitor... Hmph, there's nothing to say. Even if you tortured him to death with Demiurge's horrific tortures, it wouldn't be the slightest bit excessive. Just wait to die, you old bastard!"

Although they were not in the same place, they made the same sound at the same time. This was the first time that Inuyasha and Gafiel had ever felt such disgust for someone.

His disgust for cold-blooded traitors even surpassed that for Demiurge and Ainz Ooal Gown, the two biggest culprits.

However, judging from the magic that traitor used while learning the magic book, according to the calculations of the Evilia world, he probably has a sixth or seventh level of magic. If the two of them were to fight one-on-one, it is hard to say whether they could win.

"Tch, in that case, we can't slack off. Let's have another round, old man!"

Inuyasha stopped resting and continued to receive instruction from Wilhelm and the previous swordsman Theresa.

Jiafeier also ended his leisurely stay in the city of Dinian'er and went directly to find the most powerful demon dog general to spar and improve his strength.

“The more difficult the environment, the more a person’s true nature is revealed. The pride that the Blood Emperor possesses is his own unique treasure… But, if I could, I would rather not see this treasure of his.”

Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head and added Fruda to his absolute, unforgivable kill list.

Even if the timeline later merges with the period from thirty years ago, he will kill Fruda immediately.

If we're simply talking about traitors, there's no need to impose the crimes of thirty years later on people from thirty years ago. Firstly, there's some justification in it for survival, and secondly, they haven't actually committed that kind of act yet.

But Fruda is different.

He wasn't concerned with survival but with interests beyond it; therefore, the only basis for a barely acceptable explanation is gone.

Moreover, he used the residents, who had become walking corpses, as targets for magical experiments, ignoring the Blood Emperor, who was clearly acquainted with him, and did nothing to improve the Blood Emperor's living conditions.

This glimpse into the whole picture indirectly proves that Freud was, from the bottom of his heart, a cold-blooded, selfish, and utterly despicable scoundrel who would do anything for his own benefit.

Even if such a person hasn't committed any acts of treason, there's absolutely nothing to complain about if they're killed.

At this moment, even Chitanda Eru, who was always gentle, kind, quiet, and had a temper as good as Emilia's, and who almost never lost her temper, couldn't help but frown slightly in the Classics Club, which was far away in the sacred mountain.

"How despicable..." she muttered to herself.

The Blood Emperor upheld the pride of the last man of the empire, while Fruda, for his own benefit, abandoned humanity and transformed into an undead to commit harm. In this contrast, everyone makes the same judgment.

Naturally, many people hope that Kyosuke Kousaka can quickly discover the truth about the red orb's power within him, that Ruda the Butcher can save the Blood Emperor, and that Demiurge can kill Ainz Ooal Gown.

Of course, they only expressed their hopes; they did not make any moral demands or criticize Kyosuke Kousaka for being unintelligent.

After all, Kyosuke Kosaka's intelligence is only comparable to the previous three. He actually has the intelligence and emotional intelligence of a normal adult, and may even be higher.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say when you're not in the situation. I won't agree. Rather, Kyosuke has never realized that he's more capable. He'll just wait until the world merges, then he'll be safe."

Browsing through the hopeful words on her phone, Kirino Kousaka stomped her foot in frustration.

She also wished that Fluda and Demiurge would die quickly, but if it meant Kyosuke would risk not being able to pay the price for his wish, she would rather Kyosuke never find anything in the end.

"Given my brother's personality, once he discovers he has the ability to save people, he will definitely do his best to help regardless of his own health... That kind of brother is very cool, but more than a handsome brother, I would like to see a healthy brother."

Ayase pursed her lips. She knew this thought was selfish, but this time she stood with Kirino.

Neither Kuroko nor Manami said a word, but their silence proved their stance; at least in their eyes, Kousaka Kyosuke's safety was more important than saving the world.

Aside from the four Black Cats, the whole world is fiercely condemning Freuda, but unfortunately, for now, all they can do is hurl insults.

In the world of Evilue, within the Slane Kingdom, the High Priest was already furious to the extreme. With his belief in the supremacy of humanity, he was even less tolerant of human treachery than the Blood Emperor, and immediately ordered the arrest of Fruda.

"Then I'll loosen up a bit before the Magic Kingdom suddenly appears and starts a war, hehe." Zeshi Zemei accepted the mission.

She really hates bedbugs; if she doesn't stomp them out quickly, it's disgusting.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the Blood Emperor; she simply dislikes Fruda and does not admire the Blood Emperor.

No matter how proud she was, it was a fact that the Blood Emperor was weak, and she had absolutely no interest in men weaker than herself.

She was particularly curious about the future of Kyosuke Kousaka, wondering how she would react when he, with his god-like talent, learned something even stronger than her.

This is something even I couldn't have predicted, which is why it's so interesting.

680. A Horrifying Reappearance: Entoma's Devouring

As a negative example, Fruda serves as a powerful warning to the world.

Although there are those who want to sell out the living to survive, such as the six-armed, eight-fingered individuals who secretly sell slaves and contraband.

However, they all knew very well that if they really became traitors in the original future, their lives would be over. Before the Magic Kingdom could invade, they would be captured, tried, and executed in their own country.

Many people who are acutely aware of their own despicable character are filled with dread, fearing that they, as traitors, will appear in the video—for this reason, they even curse Kyosuke Kousaka deep in their hearts, hoping that Kyosuke Kousaka will die quickly.

Stop meddling in other people's business!

Why bother when you're clearly an outsider? What's the point of risking your life to explore a world that has fallen? Just die already, or at least go back to thirty years ago and never come back!

"If I get implicated because of your actions, I'll haunt you even in death, Kyosuke Kousaka!" The despicable men, drenched in cold sweat, growled hoarsely like maggots.

Inside the palace, the Third Princess's face suddenly darkened, and she cursed the meddlesome Kousaka Kyosuke more viciously than anyone else in a silent voice. Then, when her little dog looked over, she quickly changed her expression.

She forced a smile. "...Clem, I'm suddenly feeling a bit down. How about we pack our things and go on a picnic?"

"Yes!"

Clem, of course, did not refute the princess. He guessed that the princess had seen too many disgusting and uncomfortable things, so she was in a bad mood. In this situation, it would be best for the princess to go out and clear her mind.

On the eve of packing his things, he took one last look at the light screen in the sky, which somewhat lessened his hostility towards Kousaka Kyosuke: "Thank you for showing me how despicable a traitor can be... I will never betray humanity!"

Clem's mutterings were overheard by the Third Princess, whose face grew even more ashen.

Given her intelligence and selfishness, she was absolutely in cahoots with Freud, and there was no doubt that she was a traitor to the kingdom.
