Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"The first two reasons alone are enough to make me unable to refuse, but I think you have even more reasons to move me."

Everyone looked at Artoria, who nodded and said, "The last point is the safety of everyone."

When safety was mentioned, everyone's expression turned serious. The dangers encountered in the accelerated world had made everyone realize that traveling the world and Alaya's mission were no joke. One careless mistake could really lead to death.

"As you all have probably thought, we are all just ordinary people now, so how to ensure our safety under these circumstances is the most important issue we need to be concerned about."

"Yuki and I are alright. We are regular Heroic Spirits, and it seems that we will be reunited in the Hall of Heroes. As long as the support of Sword Art Online and Accel World is still there, we can be reborn."

“Besides us, the rest of you here are also Heroic Spirits. Even if you unfortunately die, you have only completely abandoned your human identity and truly become Heroic Spirits. I don’t think that should make you all despair.”

At this point, Artoria paused, looked at Momo, and said, "Only you, Momo, once you die, it is truly death. The Hall of Heroes takes your life as its source of existence. When you die, the Hall of Heroes will also disappear and return to Alaya's side."

"But Mo Mojun happens to possess the power of trading, and he is currently the strategist and main force among all of us. No matter what, he will have to enter different worlds. Even if he doesn't take the lead, he will inevitably encounter danger many times."

Mo Mo listened quietly and said, "So, in your choice to rebel in the world of Code Geass, my safety... or rather, how to ensure I don't die, was also an important factor in your decision?"

"Do not."

Artoria shook her head and said, "That is actually the most important condition for our choice. Finding a suitable world and ensuring that you, Momo-jun, will not die is the most important thing. As long as you, Momo-jun, don't die, we still have the chance to start over."

Mo Mo nodded and said, "Code?"

"That's right, Code."

Artoria nodded and said, "Among all the worlds, there are many worlds with the ability to be immortal, and they come in many different kinds, but they can be broadly divided into three categories."

"The first type is immortality based on rapid regeneration. They are not truly immortal, but their regeneration rate always exceeds the amount of damage they suffer, which makes them appear to be immortal."

"The second type of immortality is actually due to special means of separating life, or the ability to be reborn multiple times. This situation means that even if they are killed once or several times, they will still not die."

"As for the third type, which is also the most troublesome and complicated, that is conceptual immortality."

Artoria continued, "For some reason, the concepts of life and death have become confused. Unless this concept can be broken, they will never die, under no circumstances."

Mo Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "According to you, Code should be considered as having conceptual immortality?"

"That's right, code is conceptually immortal."

Artoria confirmed Momo's guess, saying, "The reason Code is immortal is because of the curse placed on Code holders by the rebellious Code world. Humans who possess Code will stop growing, their physical abilities will be greatly enhanced, and their recovery ability will far exceed the level of humans."

"However, if we rely solely on regenerative abilities, C.C. will eventually find a way to die, since there are simply too many ways to completely obliterate a physical body. The only explanation is that the immortality of Code holders is supported by the world consciousness of the rebellious Lelouch world."

"As long as the world consciousness continues to curse the holder of the Code, it will be reborn even if the holder of the Code is reduced to ashes."

"If the holder of the Code wants to die, he can only be truly freed by transferring the concept of immortality, that is, the curse of the Code, to someone else."

The current topic of discussion is how to ensure everyone's safety, but because the Code is more of a curse than an immortal power, the girls all show worried expressions.

"If we're only considering immortality..."

Kuroyukihime interjected, saying, "Mo Mo, you could consider using your trading power to erase the concept of death."

“For example, Momo can trade the concept of your death to me, and then I can trade that concept back to you, Momo. You can use your storage ability to store the concept of your own death on something and then put it in Valhalla.”

Kuroyukihime's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she said, "Mo Mo, if you do this, won't you be able to gain immortality?"

The girls looked at Kuroyukihime in surprise, then turned to Momo with delight. However, they noticed that Momo didn't seem too happy, and Artoria also had a calm expression.

It seems that this suggestion wasn't particularly impressive to Momo and Artoria.

"Isn't it okay?"

Kuroyukihime was still a little doubtful. Could this method not work?

“No, Xiaoxue.” Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, “Your method is good, but it’s not the best way. Simply ensuring that you don’t die is not enough.”

"Then what else is needed?"

Momo didn't answer Kuroyukihime, but looked at Artoria and said, "Artoria, tell me what you think. It seems we have the same idea."

012 The difference between humans and animals

“Xiaoxue, your suggestion is feasible and has its merits. Its greatest merit is that it ensures that Momo is almost impossible to die. After all, the Hall of Heroes is a product of Alaya's power, and no one can come into contact with it before killing Momo.”

"And if you want to use the power of trade to put the concept of Mormor's death into Valhalla, I think that's also possible."

"This creates a vicious cycle. To kill Momo, one must enter Valhalla and destroy Momo's concept of death; however, to enter Valhalla without Momo's permission, one must first kill Momo or destroy the power of Alaya."

"However, destroying the power of Alaya is still an impossible task at present."

Hearing Artoria's positive evaluation, Kuroyukihime breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least she had shown some good results. However, she wondered why she couldn't use her excellent idea.

Artoria continued, "Although your method guarantees Momo's near-absolute immortality, immortality alone is not enough. Immortality is merely a guarantee of safety. Don't forget, Momo is tasked with carrying out Alaya's mission."

"In my opinion, even if Momo has lost the concept of death, he can still be injured. So, if Momo suffers a fatal injury during a mission and is unable to continue, is returning to Valhalla the only option?"

"This is tantamount to declaring the mission a failure. Don't forget, Momo only has one chance to fail; he absolutely cannot fail a second time in a row."

Artoria's words carried more weight in everyone's hearts. Indeed, Momo could not afford to fail when carrying out the Alaya mission.

If Momo fails a second time after failing once, he will have no choice but to leave the stage and return Valhalla to Alaya.

"Then, Momo, could you trade away the concept of injury along with the trading rights?"

Kuroyukihime was still a little unwilling and continued to ask questions, while Momo reached out and gently flicked the tip of Kuroyukihime's nose.

Kuroyukihime was taken aback, then understood, and a hint of apology appeared on her face.

Momo was telling her not to be too competitive.

Kuroyukihime stuck out her tongue and waited for Momo's reply.

“You also overestimate my abilities. While trading power can trade concepts to some extent, it's not arbitrary. The prerequisite for trading is that I possess that concept.”

"Therefore, the concept of trading death is fundamentally unworkable. After all, what I possess is the concept of being alive; I own my own life and can trade life, but I do not possess death."

“Otherwise, once I grasped the concept of death, how could I still be alive here? I would already be dead.”

Mo Mo's words startled everyone, but they quickly realized what he meant.

Although they understood the specific details of Momo's trading rights, they hadn't thought about it in depth.

"So you're saying it's fundamentally impossible?"

Mo Mo nodded and said, "That's how I understand it. Similarly, I can't trade the concept of being injured. After all, I'm not injured right now, and being injured means that someone else has hurt me."

"What I can do is probably trade my own injuries with others' injuries, but I can't trade the concept of being injured."

"This is an inherent limitation of my power. If I could truly control it at will, Alaya wouldn't feel comfortable handing such power over to me, would she?"

"Of course, we can try it, but I think it will most likely be unsuccessful."

So, while everyone waited quietly, Mo Mo sent a trade request to Kuroyukihime, but Kuroyukihime shook her head and said, "The trade failed."

"That's right, the transaction failed. The information transmitted back by the transaction power is that I do not have the item I wanted to trade. It seems that I, who am alive, cannot erase the concept of death with the transaction power no matter what."

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Kuroyukihime's face as she said, "As expected, Artoria is very thoughtful."

"No, Xiaoxue, it's already quite good that you could think of that. Actually, I didn't even realize that the concept of trading death was impossible. I just keenly sensed something was wrong. In fact, we were both wrong, and the premise of this assumption didn't exist."

Kuroyukihime smiled at Artoria's words, because she knew that Artoria was trying to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, that method won't work, Artoria, just tell us how useful this code really is!"

Argo chimed in with a grin, and Artoria nodded, saying, "Back to the main point, Code is definitely the right fit for Momo right now."

"With the Code, Momo can conceptually guarantee immortality. This immortality is supported by the mystery of the rebellious Code Geass world. As long as the mystery of the rebellious Code Geass world remains, even if Momo is killed, he will be reborn in the mission world and continue to carry out the mission."

"Even in the worst-case scenario, if we encounter an equal or higher level of mystery that prevents the power of Code from being activated in that world, at most it would only cause Momo to return to Valhalla, and the power of Cod would be activated in Valhalla, saving Momo's life. It would just mean the mission failed."

"With such power, I think Mo Mojun can be more daring in using his strategies in many situations."

Artoria ended her speech with a smile, and by then, everyone had fully understood the benefits of Code.

Code can't provide Momo with much power, but it can conceptually guarantee Momo's immortality. As long as the world of Code Geass still exists, Momo's death is impossible; at most, he can return to Valhalla to be reborn.

At the same time, considering the rebellious world of Code Geass, the improvement of everyone's combat power, and the support for the construction of the entire Hall of Heroes, all of this determines that the rebellious world of Code Geass has no choice but to make a trip there.

"However, there are also great difficulties involved."

At this moment, Yui said, "Dad should be confident in establishing his own power in the world of Code Geass, but the most crucial issue is obtaining the world's mysterious blessing."

"In the world of Code Geass, there exists a world consciousness. If Dad wants to gain the support of the mysticism from that world, he must gain the approval of the world consciousness. However, the world consciousness represents the collective unconscious of humanity, which means that Dad needs to gain the approval of the entire world."

At this point, Yui hesitated, then asked, "Dad, how can I gain the approval of the whole world and everyone?"

"Everyone has a different personality, different desires, and different ideals compared to the realities of life. All kinds of people have different ideas, so how can I gain their approval?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gaped in surprise, even Artoria was taken aback. She had only proposed a strategy, but she didn't have much of an idea of ​​how many difficulties she would encounter.

Now, after hearing Yui's words, she subconsciously felt that this was impossible.

After all, she was King Arthur, who didn't understand human nature. She couldn't even comprehend her Knights of the Round Table, nor could she keep them loyal. What she needed from Momo now was the recognition of the entire world.

Is it even possible to do such a thing?

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Mo Mo smiled slightly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"No, it's not difficult."

Mo Mo's words immediately made everyone's eyes even more incredulous.

What seemed like an impossible task to Mo Mo was surprisingly not difficult at all.

"Don't forget, we want to gain the recognition of the world's collective consciousness, not to please every human being. The world's collective consciousness represents the commonalities of humanity. Humans may have vastly different personalities, but their commonalities are the same."

"The most basic desire of human beings, or the commonality of any living organism, is to survive. Only by surviving can we continue to grow, continue our lives, and continue this long yet short human life."

The girls seemed to understand something. Artoria nodded and said, "Protect them, treat them kindly, enable them to survive, and bring them peace and well-being. Is that what you, Mom, are going to do?"

Artoria's words seemed to awaken the girls, but Artoria herself became confused.

She did exactly that back then, she was invincible, and all the people had a peaceful and safe life. But why did she end up like this in the Battle of Camlann?

As expected... was it because she didn't do a good enough job?

However, Momo's next words made Artoria's eyes widen.

"No, peace is just a facade."

Artoria's pupils contracted. What did Momo mean by saying that peace was merely a facade?
