Crossover Anime: Infinite God Creation, Yukinoka's Familia

On Saturday morning, Luo Tian was awakened by urgent knocking on the door.

He got up and opened the door. Standing outside was Nishiki Chizuka, carrying a cloth bag.

"Good morning!" Chizuka walked in with a smile. "Chief Tachibana asked me to bring you something."

She placed the cloth bag on the table and unzipped it, revealing a stack of yellow talismans with intricate patterns drawn on them in cinnabar.

"These are sealing talismans," Chisuke explained. "There are twelve in total. Each talisman can suppress the Demon Heart for two days, for a total of twenty-four days."

"That's enough." Luo Tian picked up a talisman to examine it. "How do I use this?"

"Just stick it directly on the ring," Chizuka said. "One sheet lasts for two days, and multiple sheets stacked together double the time."

"Can it be reused?"

"No," Chizuka shook her head. "It'll stop working after one use."

Luo Tian carefully put away the talisman: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes." Chizuka sat down opposite him. "Chief Tachibana asked me to tell you that a specialist in occultism will be transferring to Toyosaki next week to work with you."

"What type of expert?"

"I don't know." Chizuka shrugged. "Chief Tachibana didn't say his name, only that he's very knowledgeable about Abyss items and can help you determine the authenticity of the Demon Heart."

Luo Tian's heart suddenly raced: "Authenticate its authenticity?"

"That's right," Chizuka said. "Although Chief Tachibana trusts you, Zeus Industries is not at ease and sent experts over, ostensibly to assist in the research, but actually to inspect the goods."

"When will you arrive?"

"Next Tuesday."

Luo Tian was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and replied, "Okay."

Chizuka stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, your ring is real, right?"

Luo Tian forced a smile: "Of course it's true."

Chizuka stared at him for two seconds, then smiled and said, "That's good."

After saying that, he turned and left. The moment the door closed, the smile on Luo Tian's face vanished completely.

Mira's counterfeit products could fool Tachibana Kirika, Chizuka, and Takina, but they might not be able to fool the professional experts at Zeus Industries. He had no idea what to expect.

But now he has no way out.

At the same time, in the LycoReco office on the second floor.

Kaori Tachibana sat at her desk with a document spread out in front of her, titled "Speculations on the Countdown to the End of the World," authored by Lacus Klein.

Kikumi rubbed her throbbing temples and picked up her phone to dial a number.

The phone rang five times before being answered, and a gentle female voice came from the other end: "Wuxiang? Long time no see."

"Lux." Kaori Tachibana leaned back in her chair. "I've finished reading your report."

"What are your thoughts?"

"That's far too pessimistic," said Kaori Tachibana. "What's your basis for saying the world will collapse within three years?"

"Data supports this." Lux's voice remained gentle, but her tone was very firm. "In the past six months, the frequency of Abyssal Rifts has increased by three hundred percent."

Following this trend, a large-scale abyss invasion will occur within three years.

"Do you have a solution?"

"Yes, but I need a team."

"What kind of team?"

"A capable, qualified, and organized team." Lux paused, "Like that international student you've been following recently—Luo Tian."

After a few seconds of silence, Tachibana Misty asked, "How do you know about him?"

"His file is in Zeus Industries' database," Lux said. "A wind elementalist, an unofficial member of SDS, he founded an organization called the Starry Sky Society, has two familiars, and possesses a Demon Heart."

"What else do you know?"

"His neighbor is Tsubakihara Mira, the second daughter of Nolan Defense," Lux said. "And I suspect that the Demon Heart is still in her hands."

Kirigakure tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "Do you have any evidence?"

"No, it's just a gut feeling."

"Your intuition is always very accurate."

"So, let me go to Toyosaki," Lux said. "I want to make contact with Luo Tian myself."

After pondering for a long time, Tachibana Misty thought for a moment before finally speaking: "Okay, but don't cause any trouble."

"When have I ever caused trouble?"

"That concert you held at PLANT last time..."

"That was for peace," Lux interrupted her. "This time it's for peace too."

Kijima sighed softly, "Go there next Tuesday as a transfer student."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Tachibana Kirigaya stared at her phone screen for a few seconds before picking up the "Countdown Speculation on the Dawn" again and rereading it carefully.

Three years later, the world collapsed, and she sincerely hoped that Lux's judgment this time was wrong.

On Sunday afternoon, Luo Tian and Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on a park bench. Utaha held a sample copy of "Love Metronome" in her hand, her debut work, which would be officially released next week.

"Are you nervous?" Luo Tian asked.

"I'm not nervous." Shiyu turned a page of her book. "It's not like it's my first time writing something."

"But this is the first time it has been officially published."

Shiyu closed the book and placed it on her lap, admitting softly, "A little."

"That's normal."

After a moment of silence, Shi Yu suddenly spoke up: "I heard that SDS is sending experts to appraise the Demon Heart?"

"right."

"How do you plan to deal with this?"

"Delay for as long as possible."

"What if we can't drag this out any longer?"

Luo Tian looked at her, his tone firm: "Then let's lay our cards on the table."

Shi Yu frowned: "The price of a showdown will be high."

"I understand," Luo Tian said, "but I can't hand over the Demon Heart. It has its own consciousness. If I give it to Zeus Industries, it will only be studied and destroyed."

"When did you become so soft-hearted?"

"It's not about being soft-hearted, it's a matter of principle."

Shi Yu stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, since you have principles, I'll cover for you."

"How do we cover the losses?"

"If the experts determine it's a counterfeit, just say I made it," Shiyu said. "I'm the author of 'Love Metronome,' and I'm somewhat famous. SDS wouldn't dare do anything to me."

Luo Tian stood there, stunned: "What are you doing...?"

"It's the choice that won't leave me at a disadvantage." Shi Yu stood up. "You are my savior. If something happens to you, I can't escape either. Rather than suffer together, I'd rather take the blame."

"Shiyu..."

"Enough talk." She looked down at Luo Tian. "Give me the bracelet."

Luo Tian extended his wrist, and Shi Yu grasped his bracelet and pressed it: "The concealment function has been upgraded?"

"Yes," Luo Tian said. "I spent two thousand points to add a stealth effect to all the bracelets."

"So SDS can't detect our capabilities?"

"Undetectable."

Shi Yu released her grip, nodded, and said, "That makes things easier."
