Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Perhaps this effect is negligible for an individual, but when Jiang Lihua is the central figure and everyone is watching, this ability can influence everyone in an instant.

For example, now that they see this young and beautiful face and know that she is the new chairperson, the doubts and distrust that might have arisen in many people's hearts have disappeared or faded. At the same time, the unease caused by the continuous chaos in Academy City has also decreased a lot.

Jiang Lihua's appearance did not cause any disturbance. Everyone waited quietly for her to continue, while also showing a bit more anticipation for this young face.

She... can save Academy City, right?

“First of all,” Jiang Lihua continued with a smile, “Please do not have any concerns about the floating airships in the sky. This is the latest technological achievement of our Tianren Group, and its arrival also means that our Academy City has been completely brought under the protection of Tianren Group. We will not be afraid of any danger from now on.”

The floating airship Damocles was originally Britannia's decisive weapon in the world of Code Geass, and was an important combat force that was repeatedly fought over by Schneider and Lelouch in the original work.

Built by the Britannian Empire’s Moroth intelligence agency in Cambodia, it is a vertical cylinder with four quarter-circle arcs on the outside that curve upwards from the bottom, and is 3000 meters long.

However, due to Momo's intervention, the technology tree of Lelouch's world went astray. Faced with the powerful and strange firepower and new weapons in the hands of the Chinese Empire and Momo, and given that Nina had not yet researched the Goddess of Love at that time, the floating airship Damocles became a useless asset, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

After the war, the floating warship naturally fell into Momo's hands. After all, Britannia, as a defeated nation, had no intention of dealing with this money-guzzling tycoon. Only Momo's side could control it.

Unfortunately, although Momo brought it to Penglai Island and made it part of his equipment, activating it was not an easy task.

After all, this thing requires a huge number of people to work on it and has not yet been fully automated. Even if Momo has quantum computers and high-performance robots derived from them, it is impossible for them to replace the work of operators.

Now, however, with the help of her sisters, Mo Mo has entered the Hall of Heroes and has been busy familiarizing herself with the floating airship these past few days. Finally, she's able to get it operational. As for the weapons and equipment on board, and the modifications made to suit Mo Mo's needs, that's a matter for later.

Therefore, Momo was able to summon the Damocles floating airship as a piece of equipment, and the sisters working on it were an indispensable part of the airship. Although the floating airship's combat power was not yet at its strongest, it was enough to intimidate the entire Academy City.

In particular, the floating transport ships that began to fly down from the floating aircraft carriers made everyone realize that these behemoths in the sky were not just for show; they contained unimaginable and terrifying power.

Jiang Lihua's abilities continued to work at this moment, explaining the origin of the colossal object in the sky in a single sentence, instantly reassuring everyone. Especially since Jiang Lihua stated it belonged to the Celestial Group, whose name had become widely known in Academy City in the past two days.

After all, whether it was maintaining order or rescuing the wounded, wherever help was needed, members of the Tianren Group in military uniforms would always appear to offer assistance, even though these soldiers gave off a strange feeling, as they all seemed to be of similar height and build, and were women.

Everyone looked up at the sky again, carefully examining the colossal structure. Watching the floating transport ships gradually descend, and seeing the emblem of the Celestial Group on them, a sense of reassurance arose within them.

Everyone began to marvel at how powerful human technology could be.

"As you can see, what is descending from the sky now are the floating transport ships of our Tianren Group. They are carrying a massive amount of supplies, enough for the 230 million people of Academy City to live and function normally. All of this is provided by our Tianren Group."

"Now that our Tianren Group has taken over Academy City, as the representative of Tianren Group to manage Academy City, I will take on all the responsibilities of everyone in Academy City, including their food, clothing, housing, transportation, work, and study."

"I can assure you all that as long as you trust Tianren Group, trust me, and assist us in our work, Academy City will soon return to its original state, and we can even make Academy City better."

Despite Jiang Lihua's speech, as the floating warships began landing under the guidance of the girls on the ground, some adventurous students had already gathered around to watch the spectacle. When they saw large transport vehicles, loaded with all sorts of supplies, driving out of the floating warships, they cheered loudly.

Jiang Lihua was telling the truth. All of this was the work of the Tianren Group. Although it is unknown where the Tianren Group came from or why it has such great power, since the Tianren Group has provided and controlled everything for Academy City and brought hope for peace and stability to Academy City, how could ordinary people not believe in the Tianren Group?

"For the next two days, please follow the arrangements of our Tianren Group. We will resolve all the problems in Academy City as soon as possible. The floating airships in the sky are a symbol of the financial strength and power of our Tianren Group. They represent the justice of our Tianren Group and also the justice of Academy City."

"To believe in us is to believe in justice!"

Jiang Lihua finished speaking, and one after another, floating transport ships descended from the sky like snowflakes, landing in open spaces in various school districts of Academy City. Everyone in Academy City witnessed the massive amount of supplies transported and the power of the Celestial Group. The vast majority of people were now completely convinced of the Celestial Group's capabilities.

And all of this is what Mo Mo wants, and what Mo Mo wants to achieve.

"Has it finally... reached the final moment?"

Momo sighed softly, sat up, dressed, covered the sincere Best beside her with the blanket, and then prepared to carry out the final work.

246. Are you willing to believe me?

Best frowned. Even after a whole night, the small cat ears were still rosy and had retained the heat of the previous night, showing no signs of fading.

Yesterday, Momo finally managed to regain full limb function. Best had originally planned to continue taking good care of Momo, but Momo was deeply moved by Best's care over the past two days, so he let Best experience the warmth of family that day.

Best is clearly exhausted now.

Of course, if Best were to unleash his Crimson World powers, Momo would likely be the one to lose in the end. However, Best seemed to realize something, and during his mating with Momo, he relinquished his original powers, savoring the taste of being human.

"Mo Mo..."

Best murmured, reaching out her small hand to grasp Momo's palm. Momo instead took Best's hand, gently kissed her cheek, and said, "Rest well for a while. I'll stay with you for the next few days after everything is settled, okay?"

"Um……"

Whether Best understood Momo's words or simply felt Momo's comfort, she drowsily released Momo's hand and continued to sleep.

Mo Mo no longer hesitated, turned around and went to the balcony, his expression becoming serious.

"Yui, is everyone ready?"

Yui appeared on Momo's shoulder and nodded, saying, "Everyone knows what to do, but... Dad, can you leave everyone here alone so that everyone can return to Valhalla?"

"Dad, you can't take any more risks!"

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Yui. This time it's not an adventure. We have to start conquering the Hall of Heroes. We need to conquer all the way up to the twentieth floor. This is not an easy task. Except for Li Hua, who has a lot of work to do, everyone else has to go back and prioritize completing the twentieth floor conquest."

"As for Academy City, don't forget, at least I still have my sisters and Reika with me. Oh, right, I almost forgot, isn't Last Order in command aboard the Damocles floating airship above me?"

At this moment, the commander of the floating airship was none other than Last Order. With Last Order in command and the Misaka Sisters as her soldiers, this was clearly the best combination.

"I understand."

Yui finally agreed to Momo's words, after all, this was a plan that Momo had formulated from the beginning, a whole plan aimed at Academy City.

Although the conflict between Momo and the SOS Brigade may have originated from a misunderstanding, since Momo was killed once by Nagato Yuki of the SOS Brigade, the two sides are now enemies no matter what.

Now that Momo has arrived in Academy City, he cannot allow it to fall into the hands of the SOS Brigade. Whether for his own sake or for the Servants he has taken in within Academy City, Momo must do something, ideally taking control of the entire Academy City.

However, taking Academy City under his control is not an easy task. Momo's only option is to rely on the opportunity to expand the Hall of Heroes every twenty floors that Aincrad conquers. This opportunity would allow him to incorporate a portion of Momo's otherworldly territory into the Hall of Heroes' subordinate domain.

As for this part of the territory, there is a very basic condition: it belongs to Momo and is entirely owned by Momo.

In the world of Code Geass, Momo undoubtedly owns Penglai Island. After all, the entire island was bought by Momo, all the wealth on it belongs to Momo, and the people working on the island are Momo's loyal followers.

However, the situation is clearly different in Academy City.

Here we need to refine the conditions for the expansion of the Hall of Heroes. The problem Mo Mo faces is to determine to what extent he needs to control a part of the territory in order to truly control it.

This can be an absolute question with only yes or no answers, or it can be a relative question judged based on data and actual circumstances. The criteria given by Valhalla are clearly relative, even though the criteria are very strict.

If Momo wants to pass the Hall of Heroes' standards and have the Hall of Heroes recognize his ownership of a territory, then firstly, Momo must have a considerable amount of ownership in terms of land and facilities, and at least ensure the integrity of the territory.

Momo had been working on this from the very beginning, from acquiring various industries to Jiang Lihua taking the position of chairman, inheriting Aleister's assets, and owning the majority of Academy City's infrastructure, which finally achieved this goal.

Secondly, it is necessary to gain the approval of the vast majority of people in this region, or at least their agreement to accept Momo's rule and their willingness to live under Momo's governance. Only then can the conditions be met.

Finally, it involves actual control and occupation, ensuring the normal operation of the region and maintaining normal order.

Simply put, it requires actual control, actual ownership, and the support of local people. Only if these three conditions are met can Momo bring this territory into Valhalla.

Of course, Valhalla does not interfere with how these three conditions are achieved. Whether Momo uses trade or war and invasion, it makes no difference to Valhalla.

However, Mo Mo is a businessman, and fighting doesn't fit his personality or character. He prefers to sit down and talk things over. Only when they can't reach an agreement will Mo Mo let the girls around him demonstrate their fighting prowess.

Yes, that's Momo's philosophy of life.

Currently, almost all the conditions have been met. In the remaining days, Momo will continue to expand his control over Academy City. The massive reputation he gained from the Celestial Organization in Academy City these past two days will also earn him more and deeper popular support, all of which will eventually translate into recognition of the Hall of Heroes.

What Momo needs to do now is to add the final fuel to his goal, and Huan Gendi has already prepared enough fuel for Momo to ignite this fire. The person who will light this fire is Momo's newly acquired subordinate, the heroic spirit Husky... no, Mugino Shizuri.

……

As the night passed, Mugino Shizuri opened his eyes.

The effects of the illusionary master in her mind grew stronger and stronger, and Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda, who were beside her, were obviously also affected. Even Frenda, who did not have superpowers, showed superpower reactions.

It's not a powerful ability, just the most common and ordinary telekinesis. If we disregard Mugino Shizuri and Kinuhata Saiai's feelings, Frenda might have curiously used her ability to play with bombs.

Mugino Shizuri witnessed all of this and understood that it meant her time was truly running out. When the Imagine Mage started to have an effect on them, that would mean Takitsubo Riko would face unknown threats.

Before that, Mugino Shizuri must take action to save Takitsubo Rigo.

We must drag Takitsubo Rigo, Kinuhata Saiai, and Frenda into Valhalla just like her!

Yes, Mugino Shizuri has now become a Heroic Spirit and has completed her Heroic Spirit transformation. She agreed to become a Heroic Spirit last night, in the dead of night, to avoid causing a disturbance or alerting the people here.

After all, if Mugino Shizuri, a Level 5, were to suddenly faint, it would definitely attract attention and might affect her plans.

When deciding to become a Heroic Spirit, Mugino Shizuri was much calmer than she had imagined. After several hours of calm reflection, the nameless resentment she felt during her initial conversation with Momo had vanished, replaced by a strong sense of responsibility and a faint gratitude towards Momo.

Aside from the fact that Momo's teasing made her really angry, Momo did give them a chance to live and made them Heroic Spirits, completely pulling them out of the darkness of Academy City.

Although the price is serving Momo, the prospect of eternal life and a peaceful existence is an irresistible temptation.

Therefore, Mugino Shizuri ultimately chose to become a Heroic Spirit of Momo. She believed she would not regret it because it was driven by her sense of responsibility. She wanted to save her comrades, so how could she regret it?

However, once he became a Heroic Spirit... Mugino Shizuri immediately regretted it.

Having become a Heroic Spirit, she regained her lost memories. Mugino Shizuri, who had become a house dog, grew fangs again. Her forgotten dark history returned to her memory, and her current situation and experiences almost drove Mugino Shizuri to a madness.

If she doesn't restrain herself, she will once again become the tyrannical Mugino Shizuri, the Mugino Shizuri who inspires fear and awe in her subordinates, but not the Mugino Shizuri who is loved and respected as a partner. Perhaps the first to be hurt by her will be Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai, who are right beside her.

This is also why Mugino Shizuri didn't take advantage of the night to make a move after becoming a Heroic Spirit, and only made up her mind now.

She thought about it all night, quietly reflecting on her past, present, and future, and how she should face her three companions.

Should I become that wild, rabid dog?

In the end, Mugino Shizuri chose to give up, to give up her past self, and to become the self she is now after losing her memory for the past two days.

After all, although it was a short time, Mugino Shizuri had indeed changed, and now that he had become a Heroic Spirit, he could be considered to have been completely freed from everything in the past.

If that's the case, why force yourself to repeatedly revert to that tyrannical state?

Of course, Mugino Shizuri wouldn't say that she had already grown fond of the feeling of being close to Frenda, Takitsubo Rigo, and Kinuhata Saiai.

Compared to that cold, awe-inspiring aura, the warmth of the three people's bodies clearly made Mugino Shizuri feel at ease.

"Are you awake?"

Mugino Shizuri wore a gentle smile, though it was somewhat unnatural and stiff, it was still genuine.

This was the first time the tyrannical Mugino Shizuri, the Mugino Shizuri who commanded the awe and fear of his three female subordinates, had shown a genuine smile in front of them.

"Ok!"

Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai clearly did not notice the change in Mugino Shizuri; in their hearts, Mugino Shizuri was still the gentle Mugino Shizuri, which was also what Mugino Shizuri wanted.

"Alright, now I only have one question for you: do you believe me?"

"No matter what you face next, can you trust me?"

Notice: JKing has lost all shame!

I see that none of you are good at math, and this update problem is too difficult to calculate. How about we just skip it? Hehe!
