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

"Wedge Formation".

"Use Saeko as the spearhead to pierce the left flank. Tohru and Kurokiba will be on the two flanks, responsible for clearing out all mobile targets."

"My requirement is: clear a safe passage to the hotel's main entrance within three minutes!"

"As ordered!"

Three voices, brimming with fighting spirit, rang out simultaneously, like war drums being struck in one's heart.

……

The moment the command was issued, three "firepower points" filled with absolute power leaped out of different carriages like three cannonballs, rushing towards the black tide of death.

Saeko Busujima charged ahead, her Murata sword flashing a dazzling, cold light in the blood-red sunset, like the sharpest arrowhead. Her swordsmanship was no longer an elegant dance, but an ultimate efficiency and killing machine.

Her steps landed precisely between the gaps in the acid spray, each draw of her sword accompanied by a chilling whistle, accurately severing the head and core of the [Patrolman]. Wherever she passed, black debris surged backward like a tide.

She single-handedly broke through the left flank of the defense line.

Kurokiba Ryo followed closely behind, holding a Santoku knife in each hand. Those two knives, which were supposed to be used to process top-quality ingredients, had now transformed into bloodthirsty blades.

After he entered "tyrant mode," his muscles bulged high, and his black headscarf fluttered in the wind.

His movements were frenzied and wild, each strike powerful and heavy, like an activated butcher clearing away all the small fry trying to surge up from the side with the most primal and powerful force.

Thor, on the other hand, displayed her "inhuman power" without any hesitation. Her golden dragon eyes burned with the flames of anger, and scorching dragon fire surged from her body.

Instead of using fireballs, she created a blazing barrier of flames around her body with dragon fire.

Any black mud monster that tries to approach is charred and carbonized the moment it touches the barrier.

She was like a mobile wall of fire, leaving only charred traces in her wake, steadily protecting the team's flank.

Three people, three different forces, combined to form a tactical trident capable of tearing apart the battlefield!

……

"Kuang San."

"Your task is simple: keep those disgusting trolls occupied."

At the same time, Su Chen issued his second order.

"Ara ara... Mr. Su Chen, have you finally remembered me?"

The Time Witch's voice carried a hint of complaint, but her figure had already appeared silently above the green slimes, like the most elegant black butterfly.

Countless shadows spread out from beneath her feet, clinging to the [Acidic Monsters] like living creatures, and began to extract time from their bodies with an astonishing efficiency that surpassed their self-repair speed.

These [Acid Monsters] have no core; they are life forms catalyzed by time, and only time itself can truly kill them.

Kurumi's shadow, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, frantically steals life from their bodies.

The slimes' bodies began to shrink and shrivel at a visible rate, then turned into green, sticky remains like dried-out rotten wood, no longer able to spew out any corrosive liquid.

Kurumi's figure twirled gracefully in the acid rain, as if dancing a blood-red waltz. Her gorgeous spirit dress formed an extreme and deadly contrast with the disgusting slimes around her.

……

“．‖ Yukino, Utaha, Alice, Mai, Megumi.”

Su Chen's final command locked onto the long-range firing position upstairs.

"You are free to attack, prioritizing the elimination of all high-value targets that pose the greatest threat to our convoy."

"Roger that!"

The girls' voices were filled with fighting spirit. They had already shared Su Chen's overall view through the communicator and knew which targets needed to be eliminated first.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka were responsible for strategic output. Yukino's [Ice Queen] domain instantly locked onto several large mutated beasts, the cold power of the law acting like an invisible wall, imprisoning them in place;

Shi Yu, without any hesitation, unleashed [Word of Power - Explosion] on the frozen targets, blasting them into dust.

Mai Sakurajima and Yui Yuigahama are the team's "precision snipers." Their semi-automatic rifles have become works of art in the midst of slaughter.

Mai aimed her shot at the head of a winged monster that was trying to dive; Yui aimed at the weak point of another monster's joint and knocked it to the ground.

Kato Megumi, as the calmest output point in the team, remained silent throughout.

She gripped the dagger tightly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the monsters attempting to climb over the armored vehicle and pose a threat to the ordinary survivors inside.

Every move she made was silent, yet carried a deadly inevitability.

……

Under Su Chen's remote command, the entire battlefield formed a perfect group combat system.

At the front, the trident is creating a physical clearing effect.

In the middle section, the witch was extracting conceptual life.

On the back end, the Queen of Firepower is precisely reaping the rewards.

This was the first time this monster-level team, after completely incorporating the Shinjuku group, had revealed to this crumbling world their terrifying combined combat capabilities—capable of making even gods and demons tremble!

Chapter 191 The Price of Family

The war ended faster and more tragically than expected.

When the last [Acid Monster] was cleaved in two by Saeko Busujima, who descended from the sky, with a swift reverse kesa slash, turning it into two sizzling pools of green slime.

The dark, seemingly endless tide of demonic creatures finally receded as if deterred by some invisible force, slowly merging back into the even denser shadows deep within the city.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench, a strange mixture of the burnt smell of monsters, the pungent odor of acid, and the bloody stench of humans.

Beneath their feet lay viscous, pitch-black monster remains and a corroded, pitted asphalt road, resembling the surface of the moon.

Before me lay a battered and exhausted "victorious army," every single tank bearing gruesome scars.

"Win...win?"

A member of the guard team responsible for perimeter surveillance looked at the monster remains scattered all over the ground and the enemies that no longer surged in, muttering to himself in disbelief.

His face and body were covered in black blood, and his eyes were filled with a bewildered look, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

"We win! We win!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh--"

After a brief silence, the entire convoy erupted in a deafening cheer, like a volcanic eruption, after a long period of suppressed anger.

People rushed out of the car, hugged each other, and wept with joy.

They succeeded.

They won the final trial on their way to their new home.

The glimmer of hope seemed to be within reach.

However, they were quite different from the ordinary survivors who were immersed in the celebration of victory.

Su Chen and his core queens showed no joy on their faces, only an extremely heavy solemnity.

Because they know better than anyone else the terrible price they paid for this victory.

……

"Battle damage report."

Su Chen's voice was calm, but it carried a hint of undisguised fatigue.

He stepped down from the same corroded and cratered container truck, looking at the chaotic scene of victory before him with a completely unmoved expression.

"Yes."

Yukino Yukinoshita walked up with the data tablet.

Her face was equally cold, and her lovely and beautiful face was stained with a bit of dirt from the battle, but she seemed not to notice it.

She stood before Su Chen and began to read the report, a report so heavy it was enough to crush anyone's spirit.

"The 'Golden Spirit' school bus has had 70% of its frontal armor corroded by the [Acid Monster], and its power system is damaged. It is expected to require at least a week for major repairs."

"All three Hummer modified vehicles have their tires totaled. One of them has been severely damaged because the Acid Monster burrowed into its chassis, rendering it completely incapable of movement. It is deemed... scrapped."

"Regarding personnel," her voice paused, becoming somewhat low, "three members of the garrison were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured, all burned by corrosive liquid. Although they are not in life-threatening danger thanks to Yui's emergency treatment, without more professional medical care, they may suffer permanent disabilities."

"Furthermore, all personnel involved in the main battle, including Ms. Saeko, Ms. Tohru, and Mr. Kurokiba, experienced varying degrees of physical exhaustion and mental fatigue." (bjdc)

"..."

"..."

Hearing Yukino's cold and cruel battle damage report, the joy of victory that had just begun to ignite in the convoy was instantly extinguished.

The cheers gradually subsided.

A heavy sense of reality once again appeared on everyone's face.

Yes.

Although they won, it was by no means an easy victory.

They lost almost half of their vehicles and nearly a third of their combat personnel.

They paid an extremely heavy price.

However, things got even worse.

"Su Chenjun".

Mai Sakurajima's usually gentle voice carried a heavy and powerless tone.

She pointed ahead, to the final, broad road that should have led to her ideal world.

"Look there."

Su Chen looked in the direction she pointed.

His heart, which had been as calm as a still well, sank sharply at that moment.

There they were, between their convoy and the Imperial Hotel, which was just a stone's throw away and shone with a dreamlike glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

That unique, crucial suspension bridge connecting this shore and the other... had been completely blown up in the middle at some point.

The broken bridge deck hung limply, like a severed hope, revealing a dark, bottomless chasm tens of meters wide.

It's like an insurmountable chasm drawn by fate itself.

“It was just now,” Yukino Yukinoshita said, her voice hoarse as she looked at the broken bridge filled with despair, “it was the self-destruction of the last [Acid Monster].

With its last breath, it delivered the most vicious curse upon the survivors.

"..."

"..."

The entire world fell into a deathly silence.

The survivors' cheers abruptly ceased, as if an invisible hand had choked them.

Everyone stared blankly at the bottomless chasm.

A tremendous sense of powerlessness and despair instantly overwhelmed everyone's hearts.

They fought with all their might, paid such a heavy price, and sacrificed so many comrades...

In the end, will all our efforts be in vain here?

Hope is at hand.

But the road to hope was blocked.

This is the cruelest kind of despair.

Chapter 192 Irreparable Wounds

"Self-destruct?"

Su Chen looked at the suspension bridge that had been blasted in half by the massive explosion, and a hint of anger flashed in his usually calm, dark eyes.

He felt an unpleasant sensation called "loss of control".

The feeling of frustration when a meticulously crafted, perfect script is forcibly torn apart in the most clumsy way by an insignificant extra.
