Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

However, Momo believed that this madness was also nearing its end, because according to the timeline, there would soon be users of the Illusionist who had collapsed.

As a result, the number of users of the Phantasm will plummet, Academy City will fall into greater panic due to a large number of people falling into comas, and a test of Academy City's medical system will also be set in motion.

At this point, it's likely that Emperor Huangen, who has been preparing for so long, will finally take action and reclaim everything he has lost.

Therefore, Mo Mo and the others didn't have much time left.

However, the situation is not yet at its worst, so Momo still has some time to prepare.

All of this is inseparable from the restraint that the students of Academy City are currently showing. After all, although the students have gained abilities and the delinquents have become much stronger, including explosive maniacs like Hatsuya Kaito, most of them are still ordinary people in the broad sense.

This is also the last bit of preparation time for Momo.

Having determined the current situation, Mo Mo no longer hesitated and summoned the two heroic spirits from the Hall of Heroes again.

"Mo Mo!"

"teacher!"

Those who came out were naturally Misaki Shokuhou and Jiang Lihua. Misaki Shokuhou had returned to the Hall of Heroes due to her injuries, but she has now recovered. As for Jiang Lihua, she had been busy with matters on Hourai Island, and now that the matter was urgent, Mo Mo had also summoned her.

Clearly, Jiang Lihua had also learned about Mo Mo's ordeal from Misaki Shokuhou. The moment the two of them appeared, their eyes reddened, and they instinctively lunged at Mo Mo.

But Best frowned, held Mo Mo's head tightly in his arms, and used his ability to freeze Jiang Lihua and Misaki Shokuhou, forcing them to calm down.

"It's alright, I'll recover quickly. Also, calm down, or you might just send me back to Valhalla with the slightest touch!"

Momo explained to the two of them, and the two of them, looking at Momo's flickering quantum body, could only force themselves to suppress their unease and calm down.

"Teacher, Lihua is here. Please feel free to tell me if there's anything you need Lihua's help with!"

Jiang Lihua's eyes were full of tenderness, but the white-haired, red-eyed girl standing in front of Mo Mo exuded an aura of authority that belonged to a superior, an aura that only a king who had experienced trials could possess.

Jiang Lihua was, after all, someone who had ruled the Chinese Federation. Although at that time her power was no longer the power of the feudal emperor, she was still the spokesperson for the entire Chinese Empire.

Now, Momo has summoned Jiang Lihua for only one purpose: to have her take over Aleister's position and become the chairperson of Academy City.

This was no easy task, because Aleister had completely lost interest in Academy City and had not made any arrangements for his departure, which created a vacuum in Academy City.

Legally speaking, Jiang Lihua's appointment as chairperson of Academy City requires the unanimous consent of all board members. However, at this moment, it is clear that acting in accordance with the law is meaningless.

What Mo Mo needs to do is establish Jiang Lihua's identity through public opinion, and then let Jiang Lihua start to control the order of Academy City in reality. As for the legal basis for making Jiang Lihua the legitimate chairman of Academy City, that can be added at the end.

"You'll have to work hard from now on, Lihua."

"Leave it to me, teacher!"

Mo Mo turned to look at Misaki Shokuhou and asked, "Misaki, how many sisters are left in Academy City? How much combat power do you have left in Valhalla?"

"There are about 5,000 remaining sisters in Academy City who have not yet completed their transfer. However, they have all undergone Heroic Spirit transformation. Although they still have the physical limits of humanity, each of them definitely possesses power surpassing that of top-tier special forces soldiers."

"As for the interior of Valhalla..."

Misaki Shokuhou looked at Jiang Lihua, who looked somewhat troubled, and said, "Sister Artoria and the others are fighting very hard. Most of the mechanical combat power has been transferred to their side, so there aren't many left that can be used in Academy City..."

Mo Mo nodded and said, "I understand, it's alright, Li Hua. Those are just backup plans. After all, our main enemies in Academy City are espers, not two armies fighting each other."

"Now that you two are back here, it's time to get busy. Caoqi, go and mobilize all the sisters, and then find a way to equip them with gear to further enhance their combat power."

"Lihua, take some of the younger sisters and go protect the directors, so they won't get involved in the chaos to come. Of course, protect the cooperative directors; as for the non-cooperative ones... you and Caoqi surely have a way to get them to cooperate, don't you?"

Misaki Shokuhou and Jiang Lihua exchanged a smile and said, "Leave it to us."

226 A Changed Fate

"Next, I have an important task for you, early spring!"

Momo then contacted Hatsuharu Kazari, who, unaware of Momo's serious injuries, remained excited and respectful, saying, "Your Majesty, give me your orders!"

"The first thing to do is to spread Phantasm Master all over the internet, so that everyone can download Phantasm Master in the simplest way. At the same time, we will start showing the consequences of Phantasm Master on social media that everyone can easily see."

"I understand, but why do we have to do this?"

Kazari Uiharu immediately accepted the order, but was clearly puzzled, saying, "Doesn't this seem contradictory? Your Majesty, are you trying to expand the scope of Imagine Breaker's application, or are you planning to discourage people from using Imagine Breaker?"

"This is the second thing I'm asking you to do."

Mo Mo smiled faintly and said, "Remember, when releasing the information about the Phantasm Hunter, use all sorts of covert methods to make people think that someone released it secretly. But when explaining the consequences of the Phantasm Hunter, use all sorts of formal and official methods to let everyone know that this is the Academy City government advising and warning the students."

"Afterwards, tell everyone the truth about the Viewmaster anonymously. There's no need to reveal the mastermind behind it all. Just let everyone understand that this was actually a group-wide, harmful brain experiment disguised as a dream-realization experiment."

Upon hearing this, Haruharu Shiori's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty, if you do this..."

“That’s right. The chaos in Academy City will explode instantly, and the side effects of the Templars will spread widely. In that case, Kakane Teitoku will have to step in, otherwise he will miss his strongest period.”

“We are not afraid of Emperor Huangen, but we should not give him any more time to prepare and develop. I also want to see how many people are standing by Emperor Huangen’s side then.”

"I understand!"

Uiharu Kazari's cheerful voice rang out, followed by the clatter of keyboards. Now that she was working alongside Momo, Uiharu Kazari had completely lost her reverence for Academy City and was unleashing her full hacking prowess.

After arranging things for the others, Mo Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief. Seeing that Misaki Shokuhou was still looking at him with a shifty gaze, he asked, "What's wrong, Misaki? Are you worried about something?"

Misaki Shokuhou didn't answer immediately, but stared blankly at Momo's head in Best's arms. Although Momo's body was gradually recovering, Misaki Shokuhou still felt a chill run down her spine at the sight of this horrific scene.

Now, Misaki Shokuhou is actually somewhat hopeful that Momo didn't resurrect but returned directly to Valhalla.

Mo Mo has indeed been resurrected, but in such a tragic way. What was Mo Mo's mindset when she made this decision? When she cut off her own head, was Mo Mo angry about Misaka Mikoto's previous actions?

Will all of this affect his relationship with Misaka Mikoto?

"Mo Mo..."

Misaki Shokuhou pursed her lips and said, "You're not angry with Mikoto, are you? Although Mikoto hurt you, I talked to her and she definitely didn't mean it."

"Mikoto hurt you, and she's very sad too..."

"I know."

Mo Mo said softly, "So now I'm thinking about how to apologize to Mikoto so that she can be happy again. After all, it's my own fault, so it's understandable that she's angry."

At this moment, Momo was still a quantum entity, and Misaki Shokuhou could not see Momo's eyes and expression, but she could sense Momo's feelings.

Mo Mo wasn't angry. Sure enough, her opinion of Mo Mo was correct; he was just that kind of man.

Misaki Shokuhou laughed, a bright and cheerful laugh, and said, "Then, leave it to me. Once we return to Valhalla, I'll make sure you two are as good as new, hmph!"

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou tossed her golden hair, took Jiang Lihua's hand, and left the room. Outside the room, Saten Ruiko, who had just arrived to pick them up, showed a bright smile and was curiously looking at Jiang Lihua, the emperor of another world.

Like Haruharu Kazari, Saten Ruiko was also unaware of Mo Mo's serious injury. Soon, Saten Ruiko grabbed one person with each hand and carried the two of them high into the air, flying towards their destination.

……

"Whoosh..."

Touma Kamijou, panting heavily, said, "Let's... let's rest here... for a while!"

Accompanying him were 14-year-old Stiyl, a two-meter-tall, tattooed young man who never stopped smoking, and Kanzaki Kaori, who had the best stamina and was carrying the sleeping Index.

The three were initially mortal enemies in the original work, but due to Momo's arrival and the current situation, they became comrades-in-arms fighting together in order to save Index from the group of powerless individuals.

Thus, Index, who was treated as a guest by the group of powerless individuals after eating and drinking to her heart's content, was rescued by the three people mentioned above. However, Touma and the other two paid the price of being badly injured as a result.

Hmm... I wonder what kind of expressions the three of them will have when they find out the truth?

Similarly, will Index, now that she knows she's left Heaven, give the three of them a friendly look?

If Mo Mo knew the current situation of these three people, he would definitely be extremely surprised.

It's one thing for Touma Kamijou to get injured while fighting the thugs, since it's normal for him to be able to beat a demon but not a thug. It's also understandable that Stiyl insisted on not fighting hand-to-hand and didn't want to hurt anyone, so he was ambushed by the thugs. But why did Kanzaki Kaori, a saint, also get injured?

Normally, Kanzaki Kaori is quite powerful, possessing the speed to enter the realm of gods and supersonic movement, making it easy for her to dodge subsonic bullets.

She can draw and sheathe her sword in a fraction of a second. Her body is incredibly resilient; even with minimal protective techniques, she can smash through walls at supersonic speeds. She possesses strength that could easily take on ten thousand enemies, and rumors say only true gods and angels could defeat her.

Could it be that Kanzaki Kaori, with such abilities, actually lost to the levelless individuals and thugs of Academy City? How could the thugs of Academy City possess such terrifying strength?

That's not how it happened, of course. It wasn't that Kanzaki Kaori encountered some protagonist hiding among thugs and was injured by the protagonist's aura. It was simply because Kanzaki Kaori forgot how to fight and lost her saintly power.

After all, Academy City had completely severed all ties with the outside world. The people in Academy City no longer had any concept of what was outside of Academy City. It was as if Academy City had become a universe, and the outside world... was like the outside world of the universe—there was no concept of it at all.

Therefore, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori, who had just arrived inside Academy City from outside the city, became the two people most severely affected by the Academy City separation plan.

All connections between the two and outside Academy City were severed, whether in terms of memories or power. For them, it was as if they had been born into Academy City in an instant, with no past, no goals, and no future.

If it weren't for Index, the two of them would probably have gone crazy.

Because of Index's existence, the two of them still remember some things about Index. However, this part only concerns their relationship with Index; all information related to the outside world has been erased.

For Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori, Index is a good friend, but Index suffers from intermittent amnesia. They must find a way to erase Index's memories, otherwise her life will be in danger.

However, that's all. As for why Index lost her memory, how to erase Index's memory, and why Index would die if her memory wasn't erased, they knew nothing.

The two were like a lost fishing boat on a dark sea, with Index being the last lighthouse in their minds. All they did was instinctively approach Index and try to figure out what had happened.

Unfortunately, Academy City, having already been separated from the Crimson World, has fallen under its control. At this moment, the entire sky above Academy City is filled with Best's brown flames, though ordinary humans cannot see them.

Therefore, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori are destined to never regain their memories, and they have even forgotten the abilities and skills they gained through learning and training outside Academy City. All they can do is stay by Index's side.

"Are you two alright?"

Touma Kamijou scratched his head and looked at the two of them, saying, "You two have been acting strange since today. Is Index's condition really that serious? Why don't we take her to the hospital for a check-up?"

In the original story, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori would definitely not have agreed to Touma Kamijou doing this, but now, having completely forgotten everything about the magical side, the two still had the concept of a hospital in their minds, so they agreed without hesitation.

"They're there, grab them!"

"That's right, how dare you attack our group of people without abilities? Just who are you?"

"Give the little girl back!"

The three had just finished discussing everything and hadn't even started to act when a group of people discovered their whereabouts and charged towards them, their faces contorted with rage, as if they wanted nothing more than to tear the three to pieces.

There's no way around it; this is the hatred of taking away a loli, how can these people not go crazy?

"Ugh, it's like a ghost that won't leave! Why is it here again? Run!"

Kamijou Touma took the lead, with Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori quickly following behind. However, the three, exhausted, were getting closer and closer to the large group behind them and were about to be overtaken.

Kamijou Touma gritted his teeth. So, it really was time for a fight after all?

Just then, a jeep performed a beautiful drift in front of the three of them and stopped right in front of them. The driver had green hair and his face was full of anxiety.

"No time to explain, get in the car!"

This person is called Aureolus Isaard. He has also forgotten everything outside of Academy City. All he remembers is Index's eternal smiling face, and Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori, whom he barely knows but doesn't know how they met.
