Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"careful!"

Just then, Misaki Shokuhou cried out in surprise. The huge SOS Brigade rune in the sky had indeed cracked open, but after it cracked, it emitted a brilliant light, as if it were the purest and most radiant power.

This force transformed into a stream of air, a longsword that rushed towards Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki. The stunned Misaka Mikoto was pulled behind her by Shokuhou Misaki, who had recovered from her shock.

Misaka Mikoto, who was blocked by Shokuhou Misaki, had only one thought in her mind: the so-called defense and counterattack. Was this just the beginning?

"Cao Qi, what are you doing? Let me go first, you can't stop them!"

Misaka Mikoto instinctively yelled, trying to compete with Shokuhou Misaki for the position in front, but Shokuhou Misaki gently pushed Misaka Mikoto away from the jet skateboard, causing Shokuhou Misaki to fall from the air.

Ugh?

This is……

What?

“This attack…someone has to block it with their body, otherwise it won’t stop.”

Misaka Mikoto's response was Shokuhou Misaki, who quietly turned around, made a funny face, and even flashed a peace sign.

"I told you, I'm a magical girl! In this crucial moment, let me, the magical girl, stand at the forefront!"

"After I leave the stage, that will be your stage, Mikoto."

Misaka Mikoto didn't open her mouth, but her words suddenly and naturally appeared in her mind. At this moment, Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened, no longer caring where these voices came from.

What she cared about was what Misaki Shokuhou was going to do.

An utterly absurd thought surfaced in her mind: Could it be Misaki Shokuhou...?

Must I sacrifice myself?

What a joke!

That selfish, depraved woman, who has only recently shown a little kindness, is she really going to sacrifice herself at this moment?

Why?!

"No, no, I won't allow you to do that, Misaki Shokuhou, stop right now!"

The sound of Misaka Mikoto falling from the sky reached Shokuhou Misaki's ears from afar. However, Shokuhou Misaki resolutely turned around and used her weak body to face the attack composed of brilliant light head-on.

The light instantly engulfed Misaki Shokuhou's body, submerging her completely, from her cheeks to her hair, leaving nothing behind, as if she had never existed.

Throughout the entire process, Misaki Shokuhou did not offer the slightest resistance.

"Shokuhou Misaki!"

Misaka Mikoto continued shouting, but this time, no one answered her.

The brilliant light engulfed Misaki Shokuhou, and seemingly not satisfied, it continued to chase after Misaka Mikoto, who was falling from the sky. At that moment, discordant white and red patterns suddenly appeared within the brilliant light.

From the inside out, it became increasingly clear that strange patterns formed a colossal creature within the brilliant light, resembling a bizarre giant fish.

"Waaah—"

A strange whimpering sound appeared, a sound that humans could not understand at all, but Misaka Mikoto felt that the sound seemed to be saying goodbye to her.

Perhaps... this is goodbye forever?

"Stop joking..."

Tears streamed down Misaka Mikoto's face, but she could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded before her.

"Waaah!"

The strange fish's cry suddenly became louder, the red and white light became more and more dazzling, and the strange fish's body also grew larger and larger, as if it were being inflated, deforming the brilliant ball of light that had devoured Misaki Shokuhou.

"...How could you possibly be this kind of person..."

"boom!"

A violent explosion erupted from within the brilliant orb of light, and countless white and red rays of light transformed into jets of air that tore through the orb. The once invincible brilliance was shattered, and the aggressive, engulfing momentum was instantly and completely disrupted.

Misaki Shokuhou's figure had already disappeared.

Did they leave the stage... or disappear?

The red and white light lost its power and turned into clumps of rain-like substance that began to fall from the sky and drip onto Misaka Mikoto. This power entered Misaka Mikoto's body through her wounds, causing the red and white markings on her body to spread rapidly.

Misaka Mikoto was still bewildered by all of this. She just stared blankly at the place where Shokuhou Misaki had disappeared, at the huge hole that had been blasted open by Shokuhou Misaki's self-sacrifice. Through that hole, she could vaguely see the red sky.

The red sky is the original color of this place; that eerie sky now looks surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

However, the huge gap is slowly healing, and it seems that it won't be long before the SOS runes that blot out the sky are revived.

"call--"

Misaka Mikoto wiped away her tears; tears wouldn't solve anything now. She raised her hands and arms, then looked at the patterns spreading across her arms.

Now she understands that the more patterns she has, the more of her strange lightning power she will have, and the strange changes that Misaki Shokuhou just experienced are inseparable from the mysterious patterns all over her body.

"Is this... a demonstration for me?"

"If even you would do this, then I..."

"...What else is there to fear?"

“Come on... whatever your power is, whether it’s pollution or assimilation, whatever it is, I need your power.”

"Come on, devour me completely, swallow me whole!"

Misaka Mikoto roared, and the red and white patterns on her body emitted a blazing light. The red and white water droplets in the air seemed to be attracted to Misaka Mikoto, and all of them flew towards Misaka Mikoto, frantically squeezing into Misaka Mikoto's body.

The red and white patterns spread wildly across Misaka Mikoto's body, quickly transforming her into someone resembling Misaki Shokuhou, her entire body covered in strange patterns, making her look mysterious and beautiful.

"Is this the feeling?"

"A strange feeling..."

"but……"

"Great!"

"boom!"

As Misaka Mikoto murmured softly, the red and white patterns on her body lit up, and countless surging dark lightning bolts shot out from her body toward the sky. The enormous lightning spear that pierced through the heavens and earth pierced the healing hole with unstoppable force.

"Open it for me!"

Third update

056 Does this count as a divorce?

As Misaka Mikoto roared, the lightning on her body not only did not weaken, but instead grew stronger, with dark lightning, much dimmer than normal lightning, continuously being released from her body.

Moreover, this time, Misaka Mikoto, whose body was covered with mysterious patterns, was different from before. Her body was not injured from releasing lightning, and rather, she released lightning frantically. Instead, her body was flashing with red and white lightning, making it seem as if there was something strange around her.

Perhaps it's some kind of strange armor?

However, this energy was fleeting. After all, even with Misaka Mikoto's full power, she couldn't sustain it for long and soon ran out of power.

Having lost all her electricity, Misaka Mikoto could no longer withstand the exhaustion, closed her eyes, and lost consciousness.

Although Misaka Mikoto lost consciousness, the lightning she released did not disappear. Countless electric currents spread along the huge SOS Brigade rune in the sky, creating numerous cracks that eventually expanded into enormous gaps.

The lightning quickly tore the massive SOS rune into a spiderweb pattern, eventually shattering it into clumps of debris that collapsed from the sky and continued to fall like a collapsing roof.

However, even during this process, the dark lightning seemed unwilling to let go of these remnants, relentlessly tearing them apart, as if it wanted to vent all its anger, leaving nothing behind.

The SOS Brigade logo in the sky disappeared, replaced by the original red sky. A huge bird-shaped rune in the sky began to flash, as if something had been triggered.

But before that, a strange, large fish appeared from the red clouds, emitting mysterious hissing sounds, and swam freely in the sky.

On its back is a pure-hearted blonde girl, her blonde hair reaching her lower back. At the blonde girl's neck, a mysterious red and white butterfly seems to be fluttering its wings.

A giant fish swooped down from the sky, flying towards Misaka Mikoto who was falling continuously. It swallowed Misaka Mikoto whole, then circled and continued to fall, flying towards the figure standing motionless on the sand dune.

However, the fish did not approach, but hovered in the sky watching Momo on the ground, because the blonde girl knew from the fish's core that some kind of huge change was about to begin.

Sure enough, the enormous bird that had been stretching across the sky suddenly detached itself from the sky. The bird, shimmering with a scarlet light, flew towards the ground, towards the figure on the ground. Along with the bird, the entire collapsed sky followed.

The earth itself also underwent a transformation. The desert on the ground began to explode and tremble violently. Every grain of sand decomposed from its most primordial state, transforming into a mysterious white light that rolled in from the ends of the earth and converged towards Momo.

Red and white light formed a wave that converged into the boy's body. This time, unlike before, it didn't cause the boy to explode. Instead, the whole process was incredibly smooth and swift.

Like ink spilled into a basin of water, all the power returned to Mo Mo's body, leaving only a sincere boy in the world, surrounded by darkness.

Mo Mo opened his eyes, which flashed with white light. His body was also enveloped in a layer of white light, and the runes symbolizing Code flickered in his palm.

However, what was particularly irritating was that Momo had an SOS Brigade symbol stuck to his chest, which seemed out of place on his body.

"Still not recovered?"

In the air... no, there's no longer any concept of heaven and earth. The fish above landed next to Momo, its body turning into light and returning to its core, Misaki Shokuhou's body. Misaki Shokuhou then stood beside Momo, supporting Misaka Mikoto.

"It feels... a little strange."

Momo tapped his head and said, "It seems like everything is back, but it also seems like a lot of key things are missing."

"I was just an ordinary person before, but suddenly I arrived in Academy City and gained this power. As for why I came here, what I went through, what I did, why I was sealed, and why I came to Academy City, I still don't know anything."

Misaki Shokuhou glanced at Mo Mo's chest and said, "The fact that you still have that thing on your chest proves that your seal hasn't been completely broken yet, right? Do you want to wait until she wakes up and then give you another go?"

Mo Mo shook his head and said, "Don't make things difficult for her. She has already given me enough, enough for me to repay with my whole life. Although I don't know the specific reason, I know that the final seal here is not something that her level can break, even if her power has undergone that special lightning baptism and her spirit has merged with mine, it is still impossible."

"This last seal only seals a memory of mine, but it is the most core power. You can imagine how important this memory is to me, and it also shows that this memory is enough to make this so-called SOS Brigade organization wary."

"Therefore, this is not something that can be easily unsealed."

Misaki Shokuhou nodded, then checked on Misaka Mikoto's condition and breathed a sigh of relief upon finding that she was merely exhausted.

"On another note..."

Mo Mo checked his own condition and said, "Isn't it a bit too strange for us to speak in such a familiar tone when we're both naked and facing each other?"

As he spoke, Mo Mo carefully examined Misaki Shokuhou's voluptuous body, while Misaki Shokuhou seemed completely oblivious to Mo Mo's gaze, even striking an elegant pose as if on purpose.

"Are you still going to say nice to meet me? Thanks to you, I was a fish for a whole year. I almost went crazy when I woke up. If you say you don't know me now, I'll kill you."

"So should I say... welcome back, my partner? In that case, give me a warm embrace. We can finally meet in such a rational state, can't we?"

Misaki Shokuhou smiled dismissively and said, "Just a hug? Then why is your flag still flying high and never falling?"
