Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Sanae Kochiya was clearly aware of this as well. She abruptly turned to look at Momo, her eyes, brimming with tears and bloodshot, were a manifestation of her hatred. She opened her mouth, but to Momo's surprise, she uttered not a single word. After struggling for a few seconds, she closed her mouth again.

"How gentle you are, Sanae."

Seeing this, Mo Mo sighed softly, lowered his head and kissed Sanae Kochiya's forehead, saying, "Don't worry, I understand what you're thinking, I know everything."

What Sanae Kochiya didn't say can be simply summarized in two words: revenge.

Who can I seek revenge against? How can I seek revenge? What are the consequences of seeking revenge?

Sanae Kochiya didn't want to think about any of this, but she had to.

It's a small matter that Momo and Yakumo Yukari started a life-or-death battle because of his own reasons, but what will happen to the entire Gensokyo after that? What will happen to the life in Gensokyo?

All of this was built by Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya!

Are we just going to let all of this be destroyed by the flames of hatred that Sanae Kochiya herself fuels?

Even Sanae Kochiya herself wouldn't agree to this.

She had no choice but to leave the decision entirely to Mo Mo.

But at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the scene of the trial appeared in Mo Mo's vision. Strange power surged, and almost instantly everyone was stunned. Mo Mo, who was confronting Yakumo Yukari, was directly pulled into the gap.

At the same time, countless black muds appeared, rolling around like living things, surrounding all the guests present, including all the candidate heroic spirits.

"Dad, Daddy!"

Yui's panicked voice came to Mo Mo's ear, "We can't contact that Dad. The power of Valhalla has been interfered with by an unknown force. Dad, what should we do?"

With Yui's explanation, Momo quickly understood the predicament she faced after being pulled into the gap by Yukari Yakumo.

"Dad, what should we do?"

Yui and Sanae Kochiya both watched Momo nervously, and at that moment, Momo finally made his final decision.

"Sanae, the deceased are gone, and it is time to let the two deities rest in peace."

"Let me end all of this."

231 Yukari Yakumo's Plan

With a chilling smile on her face, Yakumo Yukari raised her hand, a dragon scale shimmering in her palm. Countless powers surged within her body, granting Yakumo Yukari abilities she could never have imagined.

Under this power, Momo was pulled into the gap, and the power behind Momo became useless. The black mud that once destroyed the entire Gensokyo was also forcibly mobilized by Yakumo Yukari under the influence of this power, and all those who still tried to resist were controlled.

Of course, what pleased Yakumo Yukari the most was the dragon scale's ability to suppress all other beings in Gensokyo, its absolute power that no one could resist.

If the former Yukari Yakumo, as a sage among youkai, did everything she could to make others do things according to her wishes through various schemes and tricks, then the current Yukari Yakumo, with the support of this scale, is experiencing the pleasure of crushing and subduing everything with power.

This exhilarating feeling dispelled much of Yakumo Shishin's gloom.

"Zi, are you sure you want to do this?"

Throughout Gensokyo, only one ghost was not controlled by Yukari Yakumo, and this ghost was clearly Yuyuko Saigyouji. She slowly flew to Yukari Yakumo's side, and for the first time, she began to speak with Yukari Yakumo, having been watching from the sidelines.

"Doing this will inevitably offend everyone. Even if you can suppress everyone, I'm afraid no one in Gensokyo will believe in you or support you. Is a Gensokyo that is no longer peaceful and harmonious still the Gensokyo you are pursuing?"

Are you questioning me?

Saigyouji Yuyuko shook her head slightly and said, "I'm just reminding you. I unconditionally support your choice. If you really want to be a king, then let me be your vanguard general."

Yukari Yakumo felt a warmth in her heart; her trust in Yuyuko Saigyouji had finally been rewarded. Perhaps, right now, in the entire Gensokyo, Yuyuko Saigyouji was the only one who truly understood and supported her.

"Don't worry," Yukari Yakumo said softly, "It'll be fine. Once we deal with this outsider, everything will return to normal. Becoming king... that is indeed my idea. After all, being a youkai sage is too passive. Even if I become king, I won't let Gensokyo become anything else."

"But what you've done..."

Yukari Yakumo beckoned, and a figure flew from among the group of Heroic Spirit candidates to her side. Yuyuko Saigyouji naturally recognized this person and said, "Kamishirasawa Keine? She... I understand, is it through her power that all this is being resolved?"

Saigyouji Yuyuko had a look of sudden realization on her face, finally understanding why Yakumo Yukari could be so fearless.

Kamishirasawa Keine, as a yokai, is a typical example of someone who is extremely close to humans and accepted by them. Not only does she live among humans, but she even runs a private school and becomes a respected teacher in the human village.

However, as a yokai, Kamishirasawa Keine naturally possesses her own abilities, and in a sense, these abilities are also incredibly powerful.

Kamishirasawa Keine, a half-beast, possesses all the knowledge of Gensokyo and is the most intelligent half-beast. Normally she takes on a human form, but on the night of the full moon, she transforms into Shirosawa. As a human, her ability is to erase all existing history; as Shirosawa, she can create history.

Simply put, Kamishirasawa Keine's ability is to change other people's perception of a certain event that happened in the past.

To elaborate, everyone's perception of things can be divided into two types. One is their own personal experience, and the other is their perception of what happened to others in the past. The perception of what happened to others, that is, history they didn't participate in, is something that Shirazawa Keine can change.

Kamishirasawa Keine can erase what you know about other people from your knowledge. For example, Kamishirasawa Keine can erase the knowledge of the human village from the minds of yokai who do not live in the human village. In this way, these yokai will not know about the human village, thus achieving Kamishirasawa Keine's goal of protecting the human village from the yokai.

Similarly, Kamishirasawa Keine can create perceptions, adding to your understanding of something you haven't personally experienced. For example, Kamishirasawa Keine can make everyone who has never seen ⑨ believe that ⑨ is the strongest and most intelligent youkai in Gensokyo.

This is Kamishirasawa Keine's ability; for those who want to change the past, alter rumors, and alter history, her ability is simply the most useful tool.

"At that time, I will use her power, combined with my own realm of power, to completely erase the unpleasant things that happened in the past from everyone's perception."

Yukari Yakumo answered Yuyuko Saigyouji's question, saying, "Although what happened today may leave an impression, Gensokyo will still be the Gensokyo of the past, and nothing will change."

"Gensokyo is Gensokyo, and I will not allow anyone to desecrate it!"

Yukari Yakumo's resolute words silenced Yuyuko Saigyouji. After a long while, Yuyuko Saigyouji finally spoke: "Yukari, I only have one question for you. You... you should have changed my perception as well, right? Otherwise, I feel I should know more."

Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo fell silent. She didn't deny it, saying, "It's only changed a little. After all, what I really want to see is you living a happy life, not..."

"But what about you?"

Saigyouji Yuyuko's voice suddenly rose, saying, "The only person who has remained unaffected by all of this from beginning to end is you, right? Throughout the entire process, only you know the whole truth and bear all the responsibility. Don't you think all of this... must have been exhausting?"

Saigyouji Yuyuko's voice trembled slightly. She knew her dearest friend had stubbornly walked to the edge of a precipice. Yet, she was powerless to stop her friend and could only offer her final words of comfort in vain.

"I won't get tired... and I won't allow myself to get tired."

Yukari Yakumo slowly answered Yuyuko Saigyouji, then her voice regained its original strength and emotion, saying, "Yuyuko, since you've chosen to help me, then come on. Don't worry, I'm not fighting alone. You can feel my power, right? I certainly couldn't do these things by myself."

"Resisting the invasion from another world, arriving in another world, and even rebuilding...restoring Gensokyo—all of this is because of a greater power assisting me. Therefore, I am not alone, and I believe that with this power, Gensokyo will surely be restored to its original state!"

Yukari Yakumo's voice grew increasingly resolute, and the scales on her palms shone brightly. Dragon roars emanated from her body, their majestic and irresistible sound even making Yuyuko Saigyouji want to kneel in worship of this power.

"This is... the power of the Dragon God!"

232 Give me back my husband!

At this moment, Saigyouji Yuyuko finally realized why the power emanating from Yakumo Yukari gave her a sense of familiarity.

That's right, Saigyouji Yuyuko also experienced this power, it's the power of the Dragon God!

The Dragon God, a deity whose true nature is unknown, is mentioned very little in the original works of Gensokyo.

When Yukari Yakumo established Gensokyo, she used her powers to separate a portion of the area where Gensokyo was located from the larger world. Presumably angered that Yukari Yakumo had stolen its land and space, the Dragon God appeared in Gensokyo.

In an instant, accompanied by thunder and torrential rain, Gensokyo was plunged into brief, complete darkness. Afterwards, unable to resist the Dragon God, Yakumo Yukari and the others swore an oath to the Dragon God with their very existence, guaranteeing eternal peace. Only then did the flood finally recede, sunlight once again pierced the sky, and light returned to the earth.

Gensokyo has finally passed its last and most dangerous test and has been officially established.

Therefore, some say it is a powerful deity who governs a region. Others say the Dragon God is similar to Gaia or Alaya, the highest-level being in the world of Gensokyo. However, as for its specific nature, Saigyouji Yuyuko currently does not know. All Saigyouji Yuyuko knows is that the Dragon God is a great being that no one in Gensokyo, or even all of them combined, can resist.

Its majesty and power would command unconditional obedience from all other beings in Gensokyo, leaving them utterly without the slightest thought of resistance. Now, Yukari Yakumo has inherited the power of the Dragon God, and clearly, the Dragon God's majesty as well. As long as this power remains, even if someone harbors the slightest dissatisfaction with Yukari Yakumo, they will absolutely not be able to entertain any thoughts of rebellion.

Furthermore, Yakumo Yukari herself planned to use Kazura Keine's abilities and her own to rewrite history. With these three approaches combined, Saigyouji Yuyuko had to admit that what Yakumo Yukari was trying to do had a very high chance of success.

"I understand."

Saigyouji Yuyuko sighed softly and said, "Since you're so confident, then I'll support you unconditionally. Yukari, is there anything you need me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo's eyes softened slightly. As expected, Yuyuko Saigyouji was her closest friend. Even though Yukari was destined to be disliked by countless people, she still had someone she could trust.

“I’ve got the overall situation under control. The only thing I’m worried about right now is whether Momo has any clones outside. Although I’m confident I can use the Dragon God’s power to figure out his abilities and secrets, what if he has clones outside…”

According to Yukari Yakumo, she wanted Yuyuko Saigyouji to be wary of Momo's backup plan, and Yuyuko Saigyouji's abilities were still worth looking forward to. At present, Yukari Yakumo was multitasking, controlling the situation on the spot on one hand, and using the power of the Dragon God to control the black mud to fight against Momo in her gap on the other hand, so she really couldn't be separated.

Upon hearing this, Saigyouji Yuyuko nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go patrol the area now. Release Youmu; her loyalty is not an issue."

"Inspection?"

Yukari Yakumo frowned. She had originally planned to have Yuyuko Saigyouji protect her here, but she hadn't expected Yuyuko to go on an inspection tour. However, Yukari didn't think much of it and simply said, "It's up to you."

At the same time, Yukari Yakumo released the black mud from binding Youmu Konpaku, revealing Youmu inside, who had fainted from fright and had eyes full of stars. Seeing this, Yuyuko Saigyouji smiled helplessly, then flew to Youmu's side and gave her a sound thud on the head to wake her up. The two then left the scene.

Yukari Yakumo still trusted Yuyuko Saigyouji completely, but Yuyuko Saigyouji was, after all, a single person. The scene was so large that even with Youmu Konpaku added, it was clearly not enough for the two of them to patrol.

"Tengu clan, heed my command!"

With a soft shout, Yakumo Yukari summoned the Tenma, the Great Tengu, and all the Tengu clan members, who instantly knelt before her, awaiting her command. Even disregarding the shikigami contracts Yakumo Yukari had previously formed with the Tenma and the Great Tengu, the power of the Dragon God alone was enough to overwhelm the Tengu clan.

At least for now, the Tengu clan doesn't really offer much resistance to Yakumo Yukari's orders.

"Surround the entire area and keep a close watch on all the monsters. If anyone dares to resist and succeeds... kill them without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The Tengu clan took to the air in unison, and under the command of the Great Tengu, they quickly surrounded and guarded all the otherworldly beings in Gensokyo. There was only one exception, however; Tenma slowly rose, looking at Yakumo Yukari with a complex expression.

"What is it, Heavenly Demon?"

As for Tenma, Yukari Yakumo didn't directly order her to do anything. After all, Tenma was still the leader of the Tengu clan, and Yukari Yakumo had no intention of killing Tenma and taking her place. Compared to ruling the Tengu clan herself, controlling Tenma and making the entire Tengu clan a sword in her hand was obviously more convenient.

"Master, your orders are correct. I just want to ask... could you please spare this fellow member of our Tengu clan?"

The demon was referring to Aya Shameimaru.

At this moment, Aya Shameimaru was dazed and confused, her eyes unfocused, clearly being controlled by Yukari Yakumo's abilities. Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo frowned, her gaze towards Aya Shameimaru filled with hesitation.

Logically speaking, Aya Shameimaru was already Momo's fiancée, so she should naturally be categorized as an enemy by Yukari Yakumo. However, Aya Shameimaru was, after all, an elite member of the Tengu clan, and she had not yet truly married Momo. Although she inevitably harbored resentment and even resistance, Yukari Yakumo ultimately decided to let Aya Shameimaru go.

This isn't because Yakumo Yukari is soft-hearted; right now, her heart is as cold as iron, and she would absolutely dare to kill anyone who opposes her. However, at the same time, there's another problem that Yakumo Yukari must face: the population of Gensokyo is really not that large anymore.

Yukari Yakumo has the resolve to kill, but she doesn't want to solve everything by killing.

"You keep a close watch on her. If she does anything unusual, report it to me immediately, and I will make some changes to her memory. I won't kill her. Are you satisfied now?"

"Thank you, Master!"

Tenma breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Aya Shameimaru with a hint of relief. Aya Shameimaru's dazed eyes finally regained focus. She blinked, scratched her head, and looked at Yukari Yakumo in surprise, saying, "Eh, Lady Yukari, what is this…"

Aya Shameimaru instinctively wanted to ask what was going on, but a flood of memories rushed in, causing her to scream in pain. She recalled what had happened to her and learned the true identity of the Yukari Yakumo standing before her.

His bewildered face instantly turned ferocious and pained, and anger and hatred suddenly broke through the awe of the dragon god that was in Shameimaru's mind.

"Give me back Momo... my husband!"
