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

"To prevent you from using your invincible abilities again."

"—I will be in charge of designating the second game!"

Chapter 50: Civilization

"Oh?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.

Kong ignored him.

Instead, he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the far corner of the hall, where there were several computers that looked quite high-end.

"The game for the second round is..."

A wicked smile appeared on his face, as if he had everything under control.

""civilization""

"Mode: God-level difficulty, Ancient Era start!"

"civilization"?

Upon hearing this name, both Yukino and Utaha frowned slightly.

Although they don't play games much, they have heard of this phenomenal game, which is known as the "pinnacle of strategy" and allows players to truly experience the rise of a civilization.

Its captivating nature draws players in so deeply that they become completely engrossed.

There's even a famous meme to describe how captivating Civilization is: "Once Civilization is unlocked, sleep is a thing of the past."

Yui, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

What kind of game is this? It sounds so boring…

"and,"

Kong looked behind Su Chen at the three girls who clearly knew nothing about this kind of game.

The smile on her face became even brighter.

"To add some fun, we will adopt an unequal team battle mode of '4V2'!"

“You four ‘normal’ people, each of you should build a civilization.”

"And my brother and I will share a civilization."

"How about that? Isn't it 'fair'? Isn't it 'considerate'?"

He spread his arms wide, like a king about to deliver his inaugural address, or like a teenager having a fit of adolescent delusions.

It proclaims loudly in an aria-like tone:

"Right here, in the 'Divine Realm,' which we excel at!"

"Let you fully understand,"

"What does it mean to have an absolutely insurmountable gap between 'players'?"

"bring it on!"

Let's start our game!

Seeing Kong's even more manic expression than his own, Su Chen covered his face.

Chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is truly terrifying!

……

The game begins.

The group took their positions.

Four Civilization game consoles were connected together.

On the screen, a civilization selection interface appeared.

"Um...which one should I choose?"

Yui Yuigahama stared at the rows of kings with different appearances on the screen, completely overwhelmed by the indecisiveness.

"That uncle's beard is so handsome... Ah, that queen's dress is so beautiful..."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and rubbed her forehead.

'For this little dumpling, this kind of brain-teasing game is just too unforgettable for her.'

'Never mind, let her be!'

She herself quickly browsed through the characteristics of all the civilizations.

They decisively chose Greece, a country possessing the two major cultural advantages of "philosophy" and "republicanism."

Yukino Yukinoshita also quickly made her choice.

France possesses the "Charm" trait, granting it a 100% increase in cultural expansion speed.

Clearly, both of these gifted young women chose the "culture-based" playing style that best suited them, based on their own strengths.

Yui Yuigahama, after agonizing for five minutes over "which king looks most like her dog Sabre,"...

In the end, I made the choice without really knowing what it was—the Aztecs.

The reason is...

"That king's feather hat looks so cute and fluffy!"

"..."

Utaha and Yukino, who were standing to the side, silently put a little distance between themselves and her.

Shameful.

So embarrassing.

"Su Chenjun, what about you?"

Yukino asked.

Su Chen, on the other hand, made his choice without hesitation from the very beginning.

That ancient civilization, the only one from the East.

——【Huaxia】.

And the other side.

[Blank] The siblings also quickly made their choice.

Possessing the dual characteristics of "military" and "expansion," and also being the simplest and most brutal—the Roman Empire!

[Game starts——]

[4000 BC - ]

The screen then transitioned into the game.

Five “pioneers” representing different civilizations appeared in different corners of the map.

then…

The gap widened instantly in the very first round of the game.

While Yukino was cautiously exploring the surrounding terrain; Utaha was pondering which river to build her first city on to maximize her profits; and Yui was chasing a cute little rabbit, running all over the map.

Rome is blank.

It has been expanding at a completely unreasonable and even insane pace.

Mass produce troops! Scout the way! Conquer the city!

All in one go!

Their "pioneers" seem to have been given a "full map cheat" from the very beginning!

They precisely avoided all dead ends and barbarians!

It charged straight toward the most resource-rich and auspicious spot on the map!

Then, before the end of the first round, they successfully established their first city—

"Rome!"

Followed by.

The dazzling and confusing operations were completely incomprehensible to all the girls.

Rome's technology tree is climbing at a rocket-like speed!

All the useless mining and pottery making were skipped.

Head straight for that route to the "Iron Age," the only and most efficient "extreme technology" route!

"Wow! This isn't fair!"

Yui looked at the screen, at Rome, where they had already begun building an aqueduct.

He glanced again at his own doorstep, where the pioneer was still being chased and beaten by a barbarian scout.

It let out a desperate cry.

"It's like they've turned on a cheat code!"

"No, Yui."

Su Chen was also greatly impressed by this scene. Is this the god of the gaming world?

As a veteran player of Civilization, Kong and Bai's strategies, tactics, and skills are among the best in the game.

"This is not a cheat code."

"This is the difference between a 'pay-to-win player' and a 'free-to-play player'."

Chapter Fifty-One: Fierce Battle

Game time, round 50.

"Great! My 'Hanging Gardens' is finally finished!"

Yui Yuigahama clapped her hands excitedly as she watched a glittering golden spectacle rise from her small "Tenochettilan City".

She even smugly made a sarcastic remark towards the few AI countries next to her that were still struggling in the "Stone Age".

"Hmph, you barbarians, have you witnessed the greatness of my Aztec Empire?"

however.

Before she could even feel smug for more than three seconds...

A system notification suddenly popped up, leaving her completely baffled.

[—Your 'holy city' has been peacefully transformed by Rome's 'great prophet'.]

[—Your civilization has converted to the Roman pantheon.]

[—Your subjects are singing and dancing to welcome the arrival of the new 'god'.]

"Eh?"

Yui was stunned.

What's going on here?

She looked up at the eagle-snake flag representing the "237" Aztecs in the sky above her city, and suddenly, with a "whoosh," it transformed into an eagle-sign representing "Rome."

Instead of resisting, the people in the city flocked to the streets in high spirits, as if they were celebrating some grand festival.

"What...what's going on?!"
