Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

In reality, he was already quite poor after purchasing the [World Experience Card] and the [Return Card].

When the second world descends.

Manami Aragaki frowned deeply.

Standing beneath a city, he gazed upon the devastated scene.

The ancient city, charred black, bears the heavy marks of massacre and destruction, so profound that they are almost impossible to erase.

Smoke was rising from every street.

Even more striking were the countless corpses that filled the moat, square, market, and wellhead... all in a gruesome state.

Corpses are gathering!

“My esteemed sir…” a timid voice rang in Aragaki Manami’s ears.

Manami Aragaki didn't look down, but simply asked softly, "What?"

A timid voice rang out again: "Do you...do you know where my mother is?"

Aragaki Manami then slowly lowered her head, looking at the seven or eight-year-old girl in front of her, who was so ethereal that she was almost indistinct, her tattered clothes riddled with huge bloody holes: "I know, I'll take you there now."

"...Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

The girl's face lit up with joy, and she immediately knelt down and began to kowtow respectfully.

Manami Aragaki didn't stop her; some people's deeply ingrained ideas were not something he could easily change. He gently placed his hand on the little girl's head.

"Take care on your journey."

She said something casually, and before the little girl could say anything, she vanished.

Manami Aragaki looked up and gazed to the other side, his gaze seemingly traversing countless spaces...

What came into his view was a group of ragged men and women being driven around like pigs and dogs. Occasionally, someone would fall down and be whipped or killed by soldiers dressed as foreigners.

Wherever they went, they left behind corpses, their bodies and souls ravaged.

"We can't win, we can't win."

"Suicide was the only option left."

"I'm hungry, I really want to have a good meal."

"The emperor! The emperor has run away!"

Countless tiny sounds echoed in Aragaki Manami's ears, a constant stream of desperate and painful whispers.

The cries of sorrow from men, women, and children continued unabated...

Having barely managed to calm down, Aragaki Manami took a deep breath, trying hard not to let negative emotions take over her mind.

rumble……

A deep, rumbling sound came from the sky, and dark clouds began to gather on the horizon.

"calm."

"The blood energy over there is soaring to the sky. The soldiers and their army must have a combined attack technique. By observing the aura, we have already seen the military spirit in the shape of an eagle. The combat power of this world is not low. We should not provoke them."

Aragaki Manami continued to analyze calmly.

But the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger... He hated this situation!

After a long while, he finally understood a principle: "But if I don't vent it out, I'll really go crazy... and there's also the [Return Card]."

One should not overestimate oneself.

Mana Aragaki never intends to overestimate herself.

The shattered divine essence of the [Storm], which it tried to hide within itself, exuded its own unique power.

A mysterious and enigmatic aura emanated from Manami Aragaki—was it arrogance? Was it coldness? Was it brutality?

An aura as if all negative forces were emanating from him.

Manami Aragaki transformed into an invisible wind, or perhaps an invisible cloud, merging into the heavens and earth…

Large swaths of dark clouds were rolling northward.

The foreign soldiers, who were herding a group of people northward like pigs and dogs, were also heading north.

"That's the situation."

"That is the emperor's intention."

"Having no choice"

The moment Aragaki Manami disappeared, she seemed to see a group of fat, big-eared men wearing tall hats and official robes whispering among themselves.

pat~

Raindrops fell onto the ground.

Without any warning, a heavy rain began to fall in a place where a crowd had gathered.

Just as some soldiers were cursing, they were shocked to find bloody holes appearing on their bodies—the rain was piercing their flesh as easily as sharp blades…

"Prepare for war!"

"……kill--"

But where is the enemy?

All I know is that a symphony of wind and rain is playing across the heavens and earth...

Chapter 78, "Beyond the Boundary"! [Dragon] and [Hero]

It was like a rainy night in broad daylight, but there was no rumbling thunder.

After a storm.

In addition to the uncomfortable humidity, there was also an even more unpleasant smell of blood in the air.

He passed by a group of gruesome corpses.

Manami Aragaki, who remained hidden throughout, calmly observed a group of people, men and women, all in their prime, soaked to the bone. The elderly and children should have been dealt with before the trip due to their health conditions.

But that's not what he's concerned about—

"Indeed, some souls did not passively enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"The reincarnation mechanism of this world has a flaw!"

Aragaki Manami's heart was pounding faster after the killing spree.

They also learned basic information about this world from the soul of the alien soldier leader.

Several dynasties coexisted—Wu, Jin, Tang, Mongol, Tibetan…

It seems that although the Jurchen people existed during the Tang Dynasty, they did not develop significantly. The Mongols were in a similar situation, so there's not much time to complain about them.

After all, anything is possible, and neither of the two worlds he traveled to developed according to the history he had learned! Therefore, Aragaki Manami could only use some history as a reference at most.

Among them, the Tang Dynasty that Aragaki Manami was most concerned about was during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, when the army was strong and the emperor's favorite ministers were... Yang Guozhong, An Lushan and others.

Now, his Wu Dynasty is suffering a severe beating because its land borders the Jin Dynasty.

As for the emperor, well, I won't say more.

After all, the Song Dynasty is probably the most memorable dynasty in the minds of Chinese people for having its emperors chased around. The history of the Wu Dynasty seems to be similar to that of the Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty emperors, who watched from the sidelines, will probably receive the same treatment in a few years.

As for martial artists, there are high-level martial artists such as Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Celestial.

They say they can't act rashly, but when they do, they'll probably use their full strength!

Among them, the Summoning Martial Arts Dharma Image is found in the Celestial Beings.

Information about summoning military spirits within the army further intensified Aragaki Manami's apprehension...

"Extraordinary abilities may exist in this world, but even if they do, they are quite rare."

“The power of the shattered divine core can be used, and this leader has actually witnessed a celestial being in action once… Judging from the information footage, he has already reached the level of freely manipulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I can’t defeat him.”

"Where would be the best place to obtain benefits?"

Aragaki Manami, who had just slaughtered a squad of Jin soldiers, had no other thoughts.

It seems the aftereffects of absorbing the power of the [Storm] have disappeared, but in reality, they haven't.

It only slowed down a little.

"If this continues... I'll go crazy sooner or later." While still thinking about her own interests, Aragaki Manami turned to think about her own situation.

Reality is indeed quite harsh.

Perhaps he didn't live long enough.

The idea that you can purify your mind and body by casually reciting Buddhist or Taoist scriptures is a complete dream!

It's truly pathetic that the [Storm] power, which absorbed the [Evil] attribute of "Susanoo," has become so insane, but this is what makes sense.

With such a powerful boost to his own strength, surely there must be some side effects?

Honestly, how is that possible?!

Therefore, in theory, Aragaki Manami was still quite satisfied, as long as he thought about how to deal with the side effects better! He didn't expect the side effects to be so severe—he had overestimated himself.

but.

He quickly came up with an idea, or rather, he didn't need to think about it for very long.

"Let's follow the method of the technique!"

The one who tied the knot must untie it!

Since the side effects are caused by using a technique that one relies on to become stronger and survive in the future, one naturally needs to use it to remove the side effects, or even to make oneself stronger.

"The Funamama God in Aichi Prefecture gained victory and faith by defeating Susanoo, while the defeated Susanoo, raging in his 'storm' state, was in the same situation as being 'exiled' by Amaterasu and the gods of Takamagahara."

A pathetic loser.

Moreover, he is a loser who embodies all negative symbols such as evil, filth, and sin.

Aragaki Manami, who absorbed the "Storm," can also be seen as being in this situation.
