Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

"Damn it! These bastards!"

With just one glance, Seele understood what had happened.

She felt sympathy for the residents of the lower district, believing they had been treated unfairly. However, as a member of the Earth Fire organization who had been maintaining order for many years, she knew very well that the lower district was not lacking in scum.

Even among miners with stable jobs, there are quite a few bad apples, not to mention the homeless who have lost their stable income and have to resort to theft and robbery to make a living.

Not to mention, those guys who dared to set up checkpoints were all familiar faces to her.

"Mr. Su Mo, and Miss Topa, leave these bastards to me. I'll make them confess their sins and regret what they've done!"

Seele clenched her fists, stepped forward, and intended to use her fists to maintain order as usual.

Although she didn't know where Su Mo and the others came from, seeing the behavior of the homeless people made her, as someone from the lower class, feel extremely ashamed.

"and many more!"

Before she could take her second step, Su Mo called her back.

"Don't worry, Saber can handle this kind of small matter."

“Saber?”

Seele then realized that the girl with the ahoge (cowlick) in the gorgeous armor wasn't here.

"Wait! Don't attack them directly. There's a sizable gang behind these guys. If we don't deal with them in a way that makes them submit willingly, those hundred-plus people behind them will cause trouble, and that will be a real problem!"

The girl immediately and anxiously issued a reminder.

Given her personality, she doesn't actually like to compromise or smooth things over.

But her long experience had taught her that simply dealing with a few troublemakers without using the reputation of the Earthfire Organization for long-term deterrence would have the opposite effect.

In order to survive, homeless people often band together for warmth, regardless of right or wrong, only focusing on their stance.

If the situation is not handled properly, it could lead to an entire homeless group of over a hundred people, or even other nearby groups, gathering together to cause trouble.

That would be a huge problem!

Seele's reminder was not without merit; methods for governing at the grassroots level are often not straightforward and efficient.

After all, you can't just kill everyone, can you?

However, Su Mo showed no intention of stopping the situation.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

"Because...it's over."

The moment the words landed.

"boom--!!!"

The massive storm unleashed a sharp, deafening roar, like a bomb exploding. Accompanied by the deafening sound, the powerful shockwave blasted the dozen or so wanderers away in one fell swoop, leaving them hanging on the nearby mine wall, where they were imprinted with spiderweb-like cracks.

A crisp sound of bones rang out, accompanied by the wails of the homeless.

Some homeless people were wailing and howling, while others simply fainted. For them, multiple fractures were an injury that was too much of a test of willpower.

"Master has instructed that looting is prohibited here."

A clear, crisp voice rang out, like the blossoming of a noble knight's flower. Artoria raised her longsword and announced her rules.

Seeing the plight of the homeless, most residents looked at the majestic King of the Ahoge with longing and gratitude.

The miners had long been attacked by vagrants, and seeing Artoria crack down on these criminals, they naturally had no fear of her.

On the contrary, a normal person would only feel extremely satisfied.

After expressing their gratitude, a few people felt worried, not because they were afraid that Artoria would harm them, but because they were worried that Artoria would not be able to handle the situation.

Sure enough, upon witnessing the horrific scene before them, the group of wanderers not far away exchanged glances. Although their eyes were filled with fear, encouraged by the crowd, the more than one hundred of them still marched menacingly toward Artoria.

"careful!"

Seele impatiently stepped forward, stood before Artoria, and glared at the group of wanderers who were trying to incite a mass riot.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to defy the order of the lower districts and become enemies with our Earthfire?"

In response to her question, the homeless sneered and moved forward en masse.

"We just want justice. This woman is bullying the weak like this, and you Earthfire are just going to stand by and do nothing?"

Faced with such moral blackmail, a flash of anger crossed Seele's eyes.

"You were the ones who broke the rules first, don't push your luck!"

Despite the girl's intimidation, he noticed that she didn't intend to attack him directly.

The leader of the wanderers boldly stepped forward, directly meeting the blade of the scythe.

"We've already said, we just want justice. As a member of Earthfire, you wouldn't lay a hand on us unarmed vagrants for such a reason, would you?"

Faced with such moral pressure, Seele tightened her grip but could not bring herself to cut.

Just as she had been so easily manipulated by Su Mo and Toppa before, she, with her simple sense of justice, could not bring herself to kill someone who had not committed an unforgivable crime, even if she knew that the other party was a bad person.

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the wanderer leader.

Just as he was about to ask Artoria to compensate them for all the food,

Behind Seele, the petite Knight King tilted his head and asked in confusion...

"So, Miss Seele, why can't we attack them?"

Upon hearing this question, the two were slightly taken aback.

Seele immediately gave her reason.

“They haven’t actually committed any crimes yet. We can’t arrest them all, can we? If we arrest them, we’ll have to feed them, and we don’t have that much money.”

This reason is absolutely true.

After hearing this, the leader of the wanderers also showed a smug expression.

"I know you're strong, and I know we can't afford to mess with you. But you can't just kill us all, can you?"

"Since that's the case, instead of wasting time pointlessly, why not compensate us for the remaining food? We'll find a way to take back the food that was given to others ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it."

“You rich young masters and ladies, just pretend you’ve successfully done a charity, and we stray dogs will get enough supplies too. How about that, isn’t it a great win-win situation?”

It must be said that he was well aware of his troublemaking nature; no one wanted to be entangled with him, so cutting his losses and leaving was the best option.

Even if they weren't very combat-ready, no one would want to get their blood on them... Based on this, he led this radicalized group of homeless people to great success, and the number of members continued to grow.

Although there was a lot of resentment, as long as there was no determination to kill them all, it was impossible to stop them from using their own lives to carry out kidnapping.

Having had a smooth and successful life so far, he felt that the current situation was also an opportunity.

If he could acquire so much hard currency, he would be able to continue recruiting soldiers and expanding his power.

Faced with such shameless behavior, Seele cast a look of disgust and anger at her.

"Win-win? What about the elderly, women, and children whose food you stole? Do they deserve to die?"

"That's none of my business, it's their fault—"

Before the leader of the wanderers could finish saying, "It's because they're weak," he suddenly fell silent.

Not only him, but the entire group of homeless people fell silent at the same moment.

Because hundreds of golden sword lights appeared on their necks at some unknown time, piercing their skin like the Sword of Damocles, revealing specks of blood.

"Wait! Don't be impulsive, what are you trying to do?"

Sensing a life-threatening situation, the psychological advantage established by the leader of the wanderers instantly collapsed. He immediately looked at the owner of the golden sword light, Artoria, who held the lives of all the wanderers in her hands.

At this moment, the petite, beautiful blonde knight girl was also looking at them, her gaze still somewhat confused.

“Seele, there’s still something I don’t understand.”

The girl bearing the name of King Arthur spoke slowly.

"what's up?"

Seele asked in surprise.

She wasn't surprised by Artoria's strength, but she hadn't expected this petite girl to be so decisive in her actions.

The leader of the wanderers suppressed his fear and stared at the knight girl in front of him, seemingly betting that the little girl wouldn't dare to make a move.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Artoria spoke frankly.

"As this leader of the wanderers said, if there isn't enough food, why not just kill them all?"

"Ok?"

"???"

Both of them were shocked by these words.

None of them expected that Artoria could utter such terrifying words so calmly and without any anger.

"Those are over a hundred people, how could they all be killed?"

Suppressing the trembling in her heart, Seele asked in return.

Artoria's answer was more direct.

"Since there is a shortage of supplies, people will inevitably die. Since people are bound to die, why can't it be these villains who die?"

For her, it was a very simple choice, and there was no reason to hesitate.

"because--"

Seele was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer the question.

"Who the hell are you trying to scare? There are over a hundred of us—"

The leader of the wanderers couldn't believe the little girl was telling the truth. With a slight sense of panic, he desperately raised his voice, trying to prove her absurdity.

however--

"Boom!"
