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

"hehe……".

After a brief moment of shock, Kurumi smiled again.

Instead of showing any sign of dejection or despair, her face was ablaze with an even more frenzied and morbid competitive fire.

It's a kind of madness that consuming reason, that gambler experiences after losing everything, only to discover a new and more exciting game.

"Does the time period need to be deleted?"

She savored the word, which was full of domineering and unreasonable meaning, and in her beautiful wine-red right eye, there was an extreme madness belonging to the most evil elf.

"That's it, that's it."

"It's neither 'predicting the future' nor 'stopping time'."

Instead, the 313 process leading to the 'result' is forcibly 'deleted'. Only the beginning and the end are left, allowing those involved to arrive at the predetermined destination without even realizing it.

“This is…this is really wonderful, Mr. Su Chen.”

She looked at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with a morbid fanaticism as if she had found her lifelong enemy.

"You really are one of my kind."

"An ultimate heretic who also dares to manipulate 'time' and 'fate'."

“Then…” Her gaze turned cold and sharp again, like two daggers coated with deadly poison, “Let’s settle this once and for all.”

She held nothing back, pouring the immense power of time she had just absorbed into the golden clock in her left eye without reservation.

【The Twelfth Bullet (YudBet)】.

Future vision.

Start at maximum full power.

hum-

Countless, more chaotic, and more fragmented pieces of the future flooded into her mind like a torrent.

The massive flow of information (bjdc) almost completely overwhelmed her consciousness.

She is searching.

In an infinitely brief sliver of time, where even light can only travel 30,000 kilometers.

Find the tiny pre-cast animation that definitely exists before that man activates [Time Deletion].

This is a gamble that puts your soul at risk.

She abandoned all defenses and all escape routes, betting everything on this one perfect prediction.

As long as you can catch that pre-animation.

If you can predict his actions the instant before he activates his ability.

Then I would have the opportunity to use the ultimate speed of [First Bullet] to create an absolute "time difference".

Before he deletes the world's time, he first deletes his own life.

……

"found it!"

Finally, after tens of thousands of ultra-high-speed future simulations, just before her mental energy was about to burn out, she caught it.

They seized that fleeting, shooting star-like weakness.

[In 0.03 seconds, Su Chen will activate [Crimson King]. The pre-activation animation will be his left index finger slightly curling involuntarily due to intense concentration.]

In 0.02 seconds, he will appear behind me like a ghost and launch that unavoidable, fatal attack.

[In 0.01 seconds, all I need to do is fire at the exact blind spot where he's supposed to appear in the future...]

"caught you."

Kurumi's face broke into a hysterical, ecstatic smile.

Without a second thought, she pointed the pistol at the absolute blind spot she foresaw Su Chen's imminent appearance in the future, ready to pull the trigger that would turn everything around.

She could even see her future victory.

however--

at this time.

The man opposite was supposed to be about to activate time erasure.

Su Chen.

But he remained standing there, motionless.

He looked at the girl who was pointing a gun at thin air, her face showing a triumphant expression of success, and his eyes were filled with a kind of pity as if he were looking at a small animal.

"You're too naive, Kurumi Tokisaki."

His voice was soft and calm, yet it was like a thunderclap filled with the meaning of divine judgment, striking Kurumi's already taut heartstrings.

"!"

Kurumi's pupils suddenly contracted.

An ominous premonition, a hundred times stronger than before, surged over her like an invisible giant wave.

impossible.

My vision of the future is absolute.

He should...

Just then, Su Chen finally moved.

He unleashed the true trump card that had been overshadowed from the beginning by the domineering crimson aura of the Crimson King.

hum-

The Crimson King, with its forehead covered in angry lines, slowly opened its eyes on the small face bearing the epitaph that represents "fate."

In that instant, a future exactly like the one Kurumi had seen appeared in Su Chen's mind, just like in a movie.

……

Su Chen foresaw Kurumi's premonition.

'This is the pinnacle of my Crimson King.'

"I can see the trajectory of 'fate,' and even foresee the so-called 'future' itself."

'And you, Kurumi Tokisaki, you are merely someone struggling in vain in the torrent of 'fate'...'

'Poor 'slave'.

'I, Su Chen, am the emperor.'

'This fact...'

Nothing has changed.

……

real world.

Su Chen looked at the pitiful girl who was pointing a gun at thin air, her face still showing signs of ecstasy, yet she was thrown into utter chaos by his words, and slowly shook his head.

His gaze was like that of a true god looking down upon a presumptuous mortal who was trying to peek into divine will with clumsy divination.

Then, under the horrified and bewildered gaze of the other party, he slowly and deliberately initiated what she had long foreseen, yet could never attain...

The final judgment.

"KingCrimson."

Chapter 167 The Defeat of the Witch

"KingCrimson".

The moment Su Chen's imperial pronouncement rang out, like a final verdict.

Kurumi Tokisaki's predictive shooting, filled with unwavering confidence in victory, became a complete joke.

Time flies.

In that deleted blank space, less than a tenth of a second long, yet as long as a century.

Su Chen simply moved two steps to the left.

A simple movement, almost like taking a stroll, that doesn't even qualify as a tactical maneuver.

Then time resumed its normal flow.

boom!

There was a gunshot.

The bullet, which should have precisely hit Su Chen's "future landing point" and contained the power to reverse the universe, flew past him forlornly, striking the empty air.

Ultimately, it shattered and embedded itself helplessly in the distant wall, leaving only a small bullet hole.

"..."

"Nani?"

Kurumi stared at the absurd scene unfolding before her, a scene completely beyond her future vision and script.

Her brain, already overburdened from overusing the Twelfth Bullet, completely shut down at this moment.

why?

Why is it?

The future I see is clearly not like this!

He should...

And in that brief, less than 0.01-second moment of stiffness, she fell into self-doubt.

Death's scythe had already silently been placed against her neck.

"It's over, Kurumi-san."

A whisper, full of the playful teasing of a cat playing with a mouse, echoed softly in her ear.

next second.

puff!

A deep, bone-revealing wound had appeared on her back.

Blood stained her magnificent spirit attire.

……

In the next few minutes, Kurumi Tokisaki, the arrogant witch of time, experienced firsthand what true despair meant.

Her futuristic vision did not fail.

She can still see the future.

However, the future she saw had become meaningless in the face of this man who could foresee the future and erase time—a double bug.

She saw herself dodging to the left in the next second to avoid the Crimson King's straight punch.

So she forcibly twisted her body, defying the future she saw, and dodged to the safer right.

Because Su Chen had already seen the future she was trying to change through the epitaph.

Then, having already arrived a step ahead, as if strolling in his own backyard, he waited at her final landing spot.

*Splat!* Another spray of blood erupted.

She felt like a poor little bug trapped in a Möbius strip.

One who thought he could see the path to the exit, unaware that the entire maze itself was an inescapable, infinitely looping paradox written by that man.

No matter how much she struggles or tries to escape, she will eventually return to the one and only ending that has already been written.

That is defeat.
