Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

She raised her guitar high, like a hero about to save the world, and responded loudly with her energetic and vibrant voice, a voice filled with an undeniable promise for the future:

"Let me, Michiru Hyodo, use my rock and roll spirit to offer the most magnificent hymn to our victory."

……

Dawn has arrived.

The first golden rays of dawn, like the sharpest, most hopeful holy sword, pierced through the thick, blood-red clouds, illuminating this sinful city about to face its final judgment.

Su Chen stood up and looked behind him at the beautiful faces that were already fully prepared and ready to go, faces filled with determination and trust.

Yukino, Shiha, Mai, Megumi, Michiru, Saeko...

He took a deep breath and slowly drew the Western-style longsword that represented the majesty of a king.

The blade reflected a cold yet dazzling light in the morning sun.

"Let's go." (Exit)

Chapter 158 The Queens' Hunting Plan

Temporary command post in Shinjuku Ward.

The atmosphere was both more solemn and more uplifting than ever before.

A huge holographic electronic map slowly rotated in the center of the room, densely marked with various tactical symbols and energy readings, like the brain of a war behemoth filled with neural networks.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and a faint scent known as "battle spirit," which could only be smelled on the eve of the decisive battle.

The addition of Saeko Busujima and Michiru Hyodo, two powerful "new bloods," was like two potent injections of adrenaline, instantly elevating the team's morale and overall strength to a whole new level.

Meanwhile, Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka, the two "best brains" of the base, after receiving round-the-clock intelligence support from the Blank siblings who spared no expense, finally joined forces to devise a perfect hunting plan against the almost unsolvable time witch, Kurumi Tokisaki.

……

"first."

Yukino Yukinoshita stood before the enormous electronic map. Her voice was as cold and clear as ever, filled with absolute rationality. But in her blue eyes, which were always as calm as an ice lake, burned a confidence and determination like an ice flame, the kind that belonged to a top strategist.

"Our enemy, Tokisaki Kurumi, has the greatest advantage in the asymmetry of information and the absolute initiative that comes with it."

"She can appear anywhere she wants anytime, anywhere, while we can only passively search for her and passively deal with her attacks."

“So,” she said, drawing a huge red circle on the map with a laser pointer, covering several blocks, with their building at the center, “our first step is to completely reverse this information gap.”

"Turn passive into active."

"What we need to do is not to look for her. Instead, we need to force her to come out of the shadows and come to us on her own initiative."

“And the most perfect ‘bait’ that can do this” Her gaze slowly turned to the rock girl in the conference room who was holding a guitar and looked eager to try.

"Hyoudou Michiru".

"Yes, it's me!"

Michiru stood up excitedly, patted her chest vigorously, and her face was full of confidence and enthusiasm to carry the whole team at the crucial moment.

"I'll use my rock music, Michiru Hyodo, to blast that woman who only hides in the shadows out of existence!"

……

"very good."

Kasumigaoka Utaha took over the conversation.

She leaned back lazily in her chair, her long legs crossed, her posture as elegant as if she were attending a literary salon rather than a military conference before a decisive battle.

But in her beautiful wine-red eyes, there gleamed a cunning wisdom, like that of a fox.

“We set up our hunting grounds here after the prey is lured out by the song.”

Her finger lightly tapped the map, landing on a long-abandoned, twelve-story Isetan Department Store. The building's 3D model instantly magnified, its complex internal structure resembling a sophisticated maze, clearly presented before everyone's eyes.

"The terrain here is complex and the structure is varied, full of all sorts of blind spots and traps that can be exploited. Once you enter, it's like stepping into a cage tailor-made for her."

“At that time…” She glanced at the purple-haired mature woman beside her who was quietly wiping [Murata], a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes, “and our strongest swordsman, Ms. Saeko Busujima, will give her absolute suppression from the front, leaving her no time to worry about anything else.”

Upon hearing this, Saeko slowly raised her head, stopping her wiping of the blade. A fierce fighting spirit ignited in her beautiful, calm eyes.

“Then,” Shiyu’s gaze fell on the ordinary girl who had been quiet and inconspicuous from beginning to end,

"Then our strongest assassin, Kato Megumi, will relentlessly harass and restrain her from the shadows, preventing her from taking care of both ends and ensuring she can never pinpoint Saeko's location."

Kato Megumi nodded slightly to indicate that she understood. Her presence was so subtle that if Utaha hadn't specifically mentioned her, almost everyone would have forgotten that such a person existed in the conference room.

"Finally," Shi Yu's face broke into a playwright's malicious smile, as if she could already see the enemy's pathetic state when they were cornered,

“Yukino and I will prepare a stage play full of surprises for her on every floor of this labyrinth, and…” She shook the tarot cards in her hand, “…some little ‘psychological games’ to make sure she experiences what it truly means to be trapped with no way out.”

……

"Perfect……"

Command Center of Building S.

Looking at the flawless hunting plan on the monitor screen, a plan brimming with wisdom and courage, Kong couldn't help but express his sincere admiration.

"It's simply a work of art."

This plan has a clear division of labor and is interconnected, making the best use of everyone's strengths.

Bait, main tank, assassin, mage, support... a perfect JRPG raiding team setup.

It was a textbook example of perfect teamwork.

This time, that damned Time Witch... is absolutely doomed.

……

However, just when everyone was excited and thrilled by this perfect plan, the man who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, Su Chen, simply smiled.

Then, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone awaiting his approval as the final decision-maker, he uttered a sentence that left everyone somewhat bewildered, yet filled with profound meaning.

"The plan is good."

“But…” He looked at the group of energetic, confident, and proud queens before him, and slowly shook his head, “You all seem to have forgotten the most important thing…”

He paused, his deep, all-seeing black eyes sweeping over everyone present, instantly cooling the previously high-spirited atmosphere in the conference room.

"The roles of hunter and prey can sometimes be reversed."

Chapter 159 Invitation to the Feast

Noon the next day.

The rooftop of the Isetan Department Store in Shinjuku Ward.

Michiru Hyodo stood on the edge of the rooftop and took a deep breath.

Below them lay a bottomless abyss, before them lay a desolate, abandoned city, and behind them were dozens of high-powered loudspeakers, transformed overnight by the Blank siblings, forming a sound matrix like a black city wall, and a set of top-of-the-line professional audio equipment.

This was the biggest and craziest stage of her life.

Her face showed no sign of tension or fear, only a radiant smile full of rock and roll and vitality, as if she were about to step onto the most glamorous stage of her life.

She gave Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had a solemn "do or die" expression on her face, a confident OK sign.

Then, she plucked the strings.

That moment.

"Can you hear my voice?"

A violent, penetrating electric guitar roar, powerful enough to tear the entire sky apart, and the girl's clear, vibrant voice, full of life and defiance, instantly resounded throughout the deathly silent Shinjuku via the broadcast system.

Like a bonfire that has been blazed fiercely in a dark, deathly ocean, a bonfire that will never compromise.

Extremely eye-catching.

It was also incredibly provocative.

That was not just music, but an invitation written with life itself, brimming with fighting spirit.

……

at the same time.

The top of the clock tower in the capital city.

The Time Witch, who had been sitting quietly on the throne with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.

She listened intently, sensing the unfamiliar, vibrant noise coming from afar, and the undisguised sense of challenge contained within it.

A curious and playful smile appeared on her face.

“Alaaa…”

"Is this a concert?"

Her figure appeared like a phantom at the edge of the clock tower, overlooking the building that seemed to be the source of the noise, and she admired the strange sight in this post-apocalyptic wasteland with great interest.

"What a bunch of clueless, adorable little devils."

“It seems…” she slowly stood up, the hem of her gothic gothic dress fluttering in the wind like a witch about to embark on a hunt, “that she is inviting me to a grand feast.”

She accepted the invitation.

……

Half an hour later.

War broke out in the streets within a radius of several miles centered on the Isetan department store.

"Roar--"

A black tide of death surged in from all directions.

Countless monsters, drawn by the vibrant song, and an even larger army controlled by Kurumi, surrounded the entire department store like the most fanatical fans.

Then, they launched their fiercest probing attack.

"coming."

"Everyone. To your positions."

"The hunt begins."

The girls, who had already laid a trap inside the building, began their counterattack under the calm command of Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Miss Saeko, I'm counting on you for the front lines."

"give it to me."

Saeko Busujima, holding the Murata sword, stood alone at the already broken main entrance of the building, like an ancient swordsman.

She made no unnecessary movements; she simply stood there quietly, forming an insurmountable line of defense against death, a formidable fortress against all.

Any demon or madman clone that dares to rush in will be instantly cut in two by her incredibly fast sword light.

"Hui. Area B Trap, activate."

"receive."

Kato Megumi's figure appeared on the side wing of the building like a ghost.

She pressed a specially made blank remote control.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

A series of small-scale directional explosions instantly blasted a large number of enemies who were trying to flank the building into the air, and the precise explosions did not damage the main structure of the building in the slightest.

"Shiyu, Mai."

"Third floor. By the window. Free firing."

"learn."

Two equally dashing young women appeared at the window on the third floor.

They were all holding semi-automatic rifles they had salvaged from the TV station's spoils. After Su Chen's grueling crash course training, their marksmanship was now completely different.

Da da da.

Precise bursts of fire continuously harvested the clustered live targets below, forming a crossfire network.
