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

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Tyrant of the Kitchen

"It's your turn."

When Alice Nakiri's provocative command echoed through the laboratory.

The man who had always stood silently behind her like a shadow was Ryo Kurokiba.

Finally moved.

He moves very slowly.

Very calm.

It was as if some sacred and inviolable ritual was being performed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he slowly reached out and untied a neatly folded signature red headscarf from the waist of his somewhat dirty chef's uniform.

Then, he unfolded the headscarf and slowly tied it around his forehead.

And it was tied in a pretty knot.

After doing all this, he slowly raised his head.

Then, the "personality" switched.

hum!

A terrifying aura, brimming with wildness and primal destructive desire, erupted from his towering body like a dormant volcano.

The air in the entire laboratory seemed to be sucked out in that instant, becoming thick and heavy!

His eyes, which had been dull and lifeless like those of a dead fish, were instantly filled with countless thick blood vessels.

They became like demons from hell, devouring their prey, filled with fighting spirit.

His previously expressionless face then broke into a bloodthirsty and manic grin.

That smile was exactly like the ferocious sea monster that haunts the deep seas of Northern Europe in legend!

"Yes, Miss Alice."

His voice was no longer silent as before, but hoarse and deep, full of metallic friction, a roar that sent chills down one's spine.

Instead, he completely transformed into the tyrant of the kitchen who once single-handedly dominated the entire Nordic seafood cuisine world, the one who struck fear into the hearts of countless top chefs.

He casually picked up two enormous boning knives used for dissecting large monsters from the experimental table next to him, which was filled with various dissection tools.

Each of those two knives was over a meter long, with thick blades that gleamed with a chilling light. They were more like murder weapons than kitchen utensils!

Then, he crossed the two boning knives, which gleamed with a terrifyingly cold light, in front of his chest!

"锵々¨!"

A crisp metallic clang resounded throughout the laboratory, even sparking a tiny spark.

"hehe…"

He looked at Su Chen and his group, their eyes filled with the unknown and delicious new ingredients, and a low growl escaped his throat.

The pure killing intent and oppressive aura emanating from him were in no way inferior to that of any demon.

"!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi both changed their expressions!

They truly felt the threat of death emanating from the transformed chef before them.

This guy…

No kidding!

He really would kill them, and he would treat them like top-quality tuna, cleanly and efficiently bleeding them, breaking them down, and slicing them.

"Oh?"

Only Su Chen, watching this scene that could be described as a transformation, showed no sign of tension on his face, but instead revealed a smile full of interest.

It was the knowing smile of a seasoned manga fan when they saw a classic, shonen (mainstream) story unfold.

'interesting. '

Is it possible to forcibly switch personalities through some kind of "medium" (a headscarf) to unleash power far exceeding normal levels?

'Although I don't yet understand the underlying principle—is it psychological suggestion, or the manifestation of some kind of willpower?'

'But this setting…'

'It really has that 'Weekly Shonen Jump' vibe.'

"All right!"

Kurokiba Ryo seemed to be getting impatient.

He slung the two enormous boning knives over his shoulders, a posture reminiscent of a demon hunter who favored dual blades.

He scanned everyone present with his bloodshot eyes, as if he were examining rows of fresh pieces of meat hanging in a butcher shop.

Finally, he set his sights on the most arrogant prey who had just spoken rudely to his young lady.

Kasumigaoka Utaha!

"Let's start with you!"

He roared in an aggressive tone.

"let me see!"

"Are you guys even qualified as 'ingredients'?"

The words have not yet fallen.

boom!

The specially reinforced concrete floor beneath his feet instantly cracked, with spiderweb-like fissures spreading outwards from him.

His tall figure had already transformed into a black afterimage that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye!

It carried two chilling blades of light, like the scythes of death.

He rushed straight to the front of the group, to the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair who was still in a state of great shock!

That speed was extremely fast.

Finished!

This was the only thought that flashed through Kong's mind.

Shiyu-senpai... is about to be cut in half!

However, just as those two boning knives, powerful enough to cleave an armored vehicle, were about to touch Kasumigaoka Utaha's soft hair, Kurokiba Ryo's ferocious face revealed a joyful smile as he was about to taste "top-grade ingredients."

A long, slender hand, yet it moved with an air of precognition.

It appeared on the path that the blade would inevitably take, arriving late but arriving early.

With a casual gesture, just using the index and middle fingers...

"Ding!"

It's stuck.

Yes.

It's stuck.

The tips of those two enormous boning knives hurtled towards us with tremendous force.

(For Li) Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Kurokiba Ryo's ferocious posture was frozen in mid-air.

The bloodthirsty smile on his face froze instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply due to extreme shock!

He can't believe it!

His full-force strike, powerful enough to cleave steel, was actually... actually ignored...

It was pinched between two fingers?

What the hell is that monster?!

"Hey, hey."

A lazy voice, tinged with helplessness and disdain, came from the mouth of Su Chen, the owner of that hand.

"They attacked my teammates right in front of me."

Su Chen slowly raised his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his dark eyes, making Kurokiba feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"You're really underestimating me, the 'protagonist'?"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Poetry Feather's First Experience

"You're really underestimating me, the 'protagonist'?"

Su Chen's voice was very soft.

But it was like an inviolable imperial edict, which exploded in Kurokiba Ryo's ears!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Kurokiba Ryo stared blankly at the blade of his sword, which was held firmly in place by two fingers. He felt the terrifying, unshakeable power emanating from the blade, and for the first time, his brain, which had long been filled with "rage," experienced the emotion called "fear."

'monster…'

'This guy is a real monster!'

His tyrannical personality, which shifted depending on the turban he wore, began to waver in the face of this unreasonable force.

however.

Before he could recover from this enormous shock...

The silver-haired girl who had been standing to the side the whole time—Alice Nakiri—had a knowing smile on her face.

"--It's now!"

She suddenly pressed the red button on something that looked like a remote control, which she had been clutching in her hand!

hum!

A piercing, high-frequency energy hum instantly reverberated throughout the entire laboratory.

One after another, heavy gates made of an unknown metal, crackling with blue electric arcs, crashed down from the ceiling and floor without warning.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of loud noises!

In just one second!

An energy cage made of a special alloy, which looked incredibly sturdy, appeared out of thin air.

They trapped Su Chen, who had just displayed godlike power, inside!

"Wha...what?"

It all happened so fast!

It was so fast that even Su Chen himself was slightly taken aback!

He looked at the energy barrier flashing with blue arcs of electricity in front of him, then at the silver-haired girl outside who was grinning like a sly fox who had just stolen some fish, and a somewhat amused and exasperated expression appeared on his face.

'interesting. '

'Were we tricked?'

He could sense that the energy forming this barrier was very special, seemingly having a strong inhibitory and neutralizing effect on his "Innate Qi." Although forcibly breaking through was not impossible, it would take at least a few seconds.

In this rapidly changing battle, a few seconds is enough for a lot to happen.

"Hehehe..."

Alice looked at the trapped Su Chen and let out a silvery laugh filled with the joy of a victor.

“Mr. Su Chen, your strength has indeed exceeded my calculations.”
