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

Her spirit was being rapidly depleted by these repeated futile attacks and meaningless struggles.

……

at last.

When she awkwardly activated the Fourth Bullet (Dalet) for what seemed like the umpteenth time, she reversed the flow of her already battered body back to a healthy state.

An unprecedented feeling of dizziness and weakness surged up like a tide.

This is a sign of excessive mental energy depletion.

Although her [Zflücke] is powerful, each activation, especially the [Twelfth Bullet], an ultimate ability that glimpses the future, consumes an astronomical amount of her mental energy.

The future world that was already crystal clear before her eyes experienced a brief moment of disorientation.

· ········Requesting flowers··· ··

The image began to blur, filled with snow and noise.

It was in that very instant.

[Epitaph] Activated.

In Su Chen's mind, the future he had been waiting for for a long time appeared.

He hesitated no more.

With a flash, as if teleporting, he completely broke through the distance of space and instantly appeared in front of the Time Witch, who had a huge flaw due to mental confusion.

"!"

Kurumi's pupils suddenly contracted.

She only had time to see a cold, handsome face and a sharply defined hand carrying a cleaver capable of shattering anything.

... . ...

It rapidly magnified in her field of vision.

"you……"

She only had time to utter this last word.

The next moment.

"Boom."

A dull, yet subdued, sound that seemed to signify the end.

Su Chen's chop, precise and clean, landed on the back of her neck.

That primordial energy, refined to its utmost, acted like the most precise scalpel, instantly severing the spiritual link between her and [Kift].

"..."

Kurumi's body trembled violently.

All the light in her wine-red right eye, which was already filled with madness and resentment, dimmed completely at this moment.

Consciousness plunged into boundless darkness.

……

Su Chen withdrew his hand and looked at the Time Queen in front of him, who had finally completely lost all her fangs and was slowly falling to the ground.

The string that had been taut for so long finally relaxed completely.

He sighed wearily.

This intense battle of wits, which nearly burned out all his brain cells, also took a huge toll on his mental well-being.

"Ya lie ya lie daze".

"That's what I hate the most."

"It's all the 'flashy' type like you." (Exit)

Chapter 168 New Collectibles

The battle is over.

As Su Chen's monologue, delivered in the style of a final boss's speech, slowly faded away, it was like the last bell tolling to bring this fierce battle to a close.

The tense and oppressive atmosphere that had been building up throughout Shinjuku Central Park, as if it were about to snap at any moment, finally dissipated completely.

The wind has begun to flow again.

It dispersed the lingering pungent gunpowder smoke and sweet, bloody stench in the air, bringing with it the chilling atmosphere of distant ruins, and also a touch of freshness like the clear sky after a rain.

On the roof.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Utaha Kasumigaoka, Mai Sakurajima, and Megumi Kato watched as the Time Witch, who had finally been completely subdued, remained breathtakingly beautiful even in her unconscious state, like a black butterfly caught in a golden spider web.

Then I looked at "313" and saw that man who, although he looked tired and pale, still stood straight as a spear, as if he could support the whole sky.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

As he exhaled, it was as if he was expelling all the tension, fear, and exhaustion that had accumulated in his body.

Won.

Finally... we won.

This terrifying entity is stirring up trouble in the Shinjuku area and dragging the entire Tokyo metropolitan area into a countdown to death.

This was a god-like enemy, so powerful that they had once felt despair.

They were finally and utterly defeated.

……

A few minutes later.

The members of the vanguard battalion reunited.

They looked at the Time Witch, who was bound tightly by Su Chen's shimmering golden Qi Silk, and lay unconscious like some kind of work of art full of strange beauty.

Everyone wore extremely complex expressions.

There was a sense of relief at surviving a disaster, a sigh of regret at the defeat of a powerful enemy, and confusion about how to deal with this "spoils of war".

"What...should we do with her?"

"Kill her."

A cold, emotionless voice, like a winter wind, suddenly rang out.

It's Yukinoshita Yukino.

There was not a trace of pity in those icy blue eyes, only the calm analysis of a surgeon.

"Never have future troubles."

She spoke in a cold tone, as if she were reading a Supreme Court ruling.

"Her abilities are too dangerous. Especially the ability to see the future and rewind time, which is a huge and uncontrollable potential threat to our base and to you, Su Chenjun."

"We cannot afford to take any risk of letting her escape or retaliate."

"Therefore, the most correct and safest choice is to completely eliminate her here."

"No, I object!"

However, her death sentence had barely been announced.

Another voice, filled with fervor and a thirst for knowledge, rang out impatiently.

It's Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She looked at Kurumi, who was tied to the ground, and her beautiful wine-red eyes sparkled with the excitement of a scientist who had seen a live alien specimen.

"We can't kill her. We absolutely can't kill her. Yukinoshita, you don't understand, you simply don't understand how valuable this woman really is."

She was so excited that she was incoherent, as if she was afraid that if she delayed even a second, this unique material would be disposed of by Yukino.

"She herself is a walking treasure trove of 'time'. She knows the secrets of this world's past. She can see where our future is headed. She may even hold the key to immortality."

"She is a living, breathing grimoire, full of mysteries and forbidden knowledge!"

"Give her to me." She looked at Su Chen and said loudly, in a tone full of pleading and leaving no room for doubt, "I guarantee that within three days, I will be able to discover the secrets of this damned world from her!"

"..."

"Her fighting skills are very strong."

Saeko Busujima, who had been silently wiping her beloved sword, slowly spoke up.

Her gaze fell on Kurumi, but the look in her eyes was not that of an enemy or a prisoner, but rather that of a top-tier martial artist scrutinizing another equally accomplished opponent.

"He's a very good opponent..."

“If we can use it…” she paused, then expressed her opinion, “it would be a great help.”

……

For a while.

The "kill-seeking" faction advocates for the complete elimination of the threat.

A research-oriented group eager to explore the truth of the world.

And the faction that sought to recruit and strengthen the team.

Three diametrically opposed opinions sparked a heated debate within the team.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward again.

All eyes eventually, without prior agreement, turned to the man who was the only one who could make the final decision.

Su Chen.

……

Su Chen listened to their argument, which was full of rationality and emotion, but simply shook his head.

He slowly walked to Kurumi's side and squatted down.

He looked at her stunningly beautiful face, which, even in her unconscious state, still held a hint of resentment and stubbornness, and a possessive smile appeared on his face that sent chills down the spines of all the girls present.

"killed?"

He chuckled softly.

"Such a waste."

He reached out, and under the watchful eyes of all the girls who instantly became somewhat wary, he gently stroked Kurumi's soft, black bangs with an extremely gentle motion, as if handling the most precious and priceless treasure, slowly brushing aside a mischievous strand of hair that was covering her eyes.

then.

He gently stroked her soft lips, which were slightly pale from blood loss, with his calloused thumb.

The gesture was full of playful and appreciative mischief, like a top collector admiring his newly acquired, unique collection.

"Such an interesting collectible..."

He raised his head, glanced at the several girls behind him, each a top-tier "collection" with their own unique charm, and declared in an unquestionable, domineering tone, full of villainous aura.

"Of course I want to..."

"I'll keep them safe in my own fish tank."

"Enjoy it slowly."

"That's right."

Chapter 169 The Queen's Shackles

"You should appreciate it slowly."

The moment Su Chen's domineering declaration, filled with villainous aura and viewing all living beings as mere playthings, resounded like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence once again.

Yukino, Shiu, Mai, Saeko...
