Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Use this barrier to seal the crack, and then we can leave here as soon as possible to escape our pursuers. Perhaps in this way, this world can be preserved intact."

The Dragon God's method was simple, yet it made Yakumo Yukari's eyes light up. Her lips moved; this scene, like a cycle of reincarnation, left her speechless.

It all began because she wanted to create a fantasy world, a barrier between reality and illusion. Now, it all ends, and she must create another barrier, only this time, the end will also be the end of her life.

"I will obey your command, Lord Dragon God."

"That's good, Yukari Yakumo. Do you have any last words? But even if you do, no one will pass them on."

The dragon god's human-like sigh made Yakumo Yukari's lips curl slightly, and she smiled through her tears, but the smile carried an abyss-like self-mockery.

"No need, no one cares about me anymore. Lord Dragon God, I am ready. Let me use this broken body and my strength to do one last thing for everyone."

This can be considered... my final act of atonement.

The dragon god stared at Yakumo Yukari for a second, offering no response, but instead raised its head. A faint halo of light shot out from below its throat, enveloping Yakumo Yukari. Yakumo Yukari trembled; her survival instincts urged her to flee, but reason compelled her to silently endure it all.

Her boundary power and gap power went berserk, and Yakumo Yukari, who could barely maintain her figure by relying on these two powers, immediately began to shatter and dissipate.

Her skin shattered, revealing flesh and blood; her flesh shattered, revealing bones; and after her bones shattered, only eyes remained, continuously fused together by the Dragon God. This was the last remaining power of Yakumo Yukari's realm, the final force that allowed her to live as a youkai of a realm.

Now, all of this has been crushed by the Dragon God.

Throughout, Yukari Yakumo remained calm, calmly accepting everything and calmly awaiting her death. It seemed that at this moment, Yukari Yakumo was merely an observer, while the one dying was someone else entirely.

When only half of Yukari Yakumo's face remained, her expression finally wavered slightly. She looked towards the Dragon God, but not directly at him, and softly said, "Thank you."

Who is she thanking?

Why did she thank him?

Perhaps only Yukari Yakumo herself knows the answer.

With the complete annihilation of Yukari Yakumo, the rift in the void shattered completely, and the eye on the rift vanished entirely. The dragon god, who had plunged into the rift, now hovered in the void again, but between his heads was a hazy light the color of the starry sky.

With the Dragon God's final roar, this beam of light shot far away, reaching a point in the void and concealing a distorted crack within it. The colors of the starry sky vanished, leaving nothing behind, as if nothing had ever existed there.

012 Homecoming, homecoming!

After doing all this, the Dragon God seemed to have lost all his power.

Although it was still floating in the void, which seemed to symbolize that it was still alive, there was no sense of direction in the void, and the surrounding scenery was no different from before. Therefore, it could be said that the dragon god was completely lifeless at this moment.

Is it dead or alive?

The fate of the Dragon God is still unknown, but Momo and Yagokoro Eirin are alive and well.

"Are we just going to let her go like that?"

Eirin Yagokoro spoke to Momo, almost as if she were talking to herself. She had witnessed Yukari Yakumo's entire fate, without feeling any sadness or regret. However, similarly, Eirin Yagokoro felt no joy or pleasure either.

Watching the veteran Yakumo Yukari so calmly face her end, Yagokoro Eirin couldn't help but sigh. All the antagonism and hatred reached their climax at the moment of Yakumo Yukari's demise.

"If you don't want to let her off the hook, then you'll have to deal with her properly in the future."

Mo Mo smiled slightly and extended his hand. The previously dormant Dragon God trembled slightly and began to move again. The movement was very small; a small ball of light flew out from the Dragon God's reverse scale, entered the Dragon God's mouth, and landed in Mo Mo's hand.

"I have done what I promised you. I hope you will keep your promise and take good care of the few remaining survivors, Administrator."

The Dragon God's weathered voice reached Momo and Yagokoro Eirin's ears, and the two seemed to be able to sense the loss of the Dragon God's life force as it spoke.

Eirin Yagokoro's expression was complex. Although she had no feelings for the Dragon God, the Dragon God was, after all, the supreme god of the entire world. At this moment, Eirin Yagokoro felt a sorrow welling up from the depths of her heart, seemingly a longing for her mother and a yearning for her father.

She reached out and gently grasped Mo Mo's arm, but the thought of controlling the Dragon God vanished completely. At that moment, she realized that without the Dragon God's lack of resistance, she would likely have no chance of controlling him at all.

Eirin Yagokoro looked at Mo Mo with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. What was Mo Mo's background? What power did he possess that allowed him to communicate with the Dragon God on equal terms and even reach an agreement with him?

Yes, the reason why the Dragon God didn't question Yakumo Yukari about the afterlife just now, seemingly believing everything, wasn't because of the Dragon God's trust in Yakumo Yukari, but because it had made a deal with Momo.

"That's for sure. They have become my subjects, and I will ensure the happiness and well-being of each and every one of them."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The Dragon God murmured softly, like a contented old man, and then said, "Next, as agreed, I will lead you towards the enemy's direction. However, Master, are you truly determined to confront the most terrifying darkness in the world?"

Momo did not answer the Dragon God's question, nor did the Dragon God wait for Momo's reply. Taking Momo to find Jinpika was part of the deal between the human and the dragon, and whether the Dragon God liked it or not, it would comply now.

"You... really won't consider my suggestion, Dragon God? You don't have to die. Although I can't preserve your power, I can preserve your will."

Momo sighed softly. Just now, the Dragon God had refused Momo's invitation to become a Heroic Spirit. Becoming a Heroic Spirit would undoubtedly save the Dragon God, and for a great god like the Dragon God who sacrificed himself to save Gensokyo, Momo was willing to lend a helping hand.

However, the Dragon God rejected Momo's proposal, replying, "I am already dead. I am the world, and the world is me. The world has been destroyed. If it weren't for preserving the bloodline and lives of these remaining people, I would have perished with the enemy long ago."

"Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it is time to return to my homeland. Even if I die, I will take as many enemies as possible with me, and I will die in my own world."

"Alright, I'm going to get started. Don't talk to me anymore, I need to conserve my energy."

"I want to... go home."

The Dragon God shut his mouth abruptly. A giant dragon slowly swam through the void, changed direction, and flew off in that direction. There were no landmarks around, and it was impossible to judge the Dragon God's speed. This made Mo Mo and Yagokoro Eirin, who were watching all this, feel a sense of disorientation and forget about time.

Only then did Momo have time to look at what he was holding. He now held a gem, shaped like a strange eyeball. Simply put, the shape of the eyeball was exactly the same as the eye in Yakumo's Purple Gap.

"So this is the core of Yakumo Yukari's power and concept? It's such a small thing, and it's quite beautiful."

Eirin Yagokoro also looked with great interest at the gem in Momo's hand. This gem was the conceptual core of Yukari Yakumo, which Momo had entrusted to the Dragon God to condense. As a youkai, Yukari Yakumo was a youkai of a certain level, and theoretically, she shouldn't have any offspring or inheritance. However, this gem could give birth to a new gap youkai.

"Will the new creature that hatches in the future be Yukari Yakumo, or just another annoying one?"

"Don't be so prejudiced, Eirin." Momo placed the gem into Eirin Yagokoro's hand and said under her surprised gaze, "In essence, a Boundary Youkai is Yakumo Yukari, and Yakumo Yukari is a Boundary Youkai. Even if she is reborn, once the Boundary Youkai's Boundary Power reaches a certain level, she will know everything that happened to her in the past."

"After all, the power of realms is so convenient and all-pervasive."

"However, to the rest of us, Yakumo Yukari is already dead. Even if a newly born Boundary Youkai is exactly the same as the Yakumo Yukari of the past, she is no longer Yakumo Yukari. Do you understand what I'm saying, Eirin?"

Yagokoro Eirin smiled slightly; she naturally understood the intricacies of the situation.

Yukari Yakumo has committed too many wrongdoings; her death is the only way to appease public anger. Therefore, killing Yukari Yakumo is the best solution to all problems. When Yukari Yakumo dies, and new realm youkai reappear in her form or even under her name, the people of Gensokyo, having already avenged themselves, will no longer do anything to her.

After all, Gensokyo... is ultimately a peaceful retirement home. Who among the people there would rather be consumed by hatred every day than spend each day happily and leisurely?

"I'll take good care of her in the future. Until she grows up, I'll be responsible for all her minor ailments. Leaving her with childhood trauma in her new life seems like a pretty good idea."

Eirin Yagokoro looked at the gem in her hand and smiled contentedly, but the flash of light on the gem gave people a shivering feeling.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. Why did you give me this gem? Do you intend to make me her nanny? That's not impossible, but I want a hundred times the salary."

Mo Mo smiled and helped Yagokoro Eirin to her feet, saying, "Don't even mention a hundred times, we'll be on your side soon, I'll give you a hundred thousand times!"

As for the payment method... just like with Kaguya!

"The reason I'm giving you this is... Take it back to my Hall of Heroes. Become my Heroic Spirit, join everyone as family, and reunite with Kaguya once more."

"Kaguya misses you so much, Eirin."

013 took a bit too big a step.

Eirin Yagokoro left and entered Valhalla.

On one hand, Eirin Yagokoro is indeed at her limit. Even as a member of Hourai, she is truly facing a crisis of death due to unlimited consumption without replenishment.

Moreover, her mission was to assist in healing the Dragon God and buy time for Gensokyo to survive. Now that the entire Gensokyo had been transferred to Momo's name, and even the Dragon God was about to die, there was no point in her staying here except to protect Momo.

As for protecting Momo, after learning about Momo's identity, that Kaguya Houraisan had entered the Hall of Heroes, and her relationship with Momo, Eirin Yagokoro no longer hesitated in the slightest.

Anyway, Mo Mo isn't that easy to kill, so let Mo Mo continue to court death!

Momo's actions could indeed be described as suicidal. He left the Dragon God's mouth, which was the Dragon God's last resort to protect living beings from the harm of the void. Momo, upon entering the void, was indeed torn apart by a force of nothingness, but this had no fundamental impact on him, because Momo could transform into light.

And so, a blurry, luminous humanoid figure sat atop the Dragon God's head.

The light emanating from his body continuously dissipated into the void, but at the same time, he was replenished in some way. This replenishment and consumption achieved a dynamic balance, which allowed Momo to maintain his form in the void.

"Hey, big guy, are you really not going to say a word?"

In the void, there was only a massive, heavily wounded dragon moving at an almost imperceptible speed, with Momo, an avatar of light, sitting atop its head. This combination was clearly insignificant compared to the endless void, and Momo couldn't help but say something to break the feeling of powerlessness and insignificance.

Unfortunately, the Dragon God ignored Mo Mo.

It wasn't that the Dragon God was arrogant, nor that it didn't want to pay attention to Momo. At this moment, the Dragon God was mobilizing the last bit of power remaining in its body, attempting to return to its homeland. As for talking to Momo, this chatterbox, that was not on its agenda.

This process took a very, very long time, so long that Momo almost lost his sense of time, and so long that the girls watching the live stream in the Hall of Heroes lost interest one by one and began to take stock of what Gensokyo had gained and lost.

The addition of Gensokyo brought about earth-shattering changes to the entire Hall of Heroes.

To put it more completely, Gensokyo brought non-scientific forces into the Hall of Heroes for the first time. Moreover, the harmonious integration of various power systems in Gensokyo into the Hall of Heroes instantly propelled the entire Hall of Heroes from a purely scientific perspective towards a more mystical one.

To put it simply, many of Momo's Heroic Spirits can finally change jobs as they wish, and the Heroic Spirits from Gensokyo have also regained their original powers.

For example, Artoria, after much deliberation, chose to return to using her own magical powers. After all, this was the power she knew best, and the source and laws of magic were supported by Gensokyo. As for Artoria's corrupted Excalibur, it also regained its original glory.

Meanwhile, the girls around Momo who didn't possess any special abilities, such as Asuna and Argo who were among the first to follow him, began to focus their attention on various powers, seemingly intending to choose some from them. As for C.C., who was always known as a witch in the original world, she went straight to Patchouli and began to study magic, seemingly determined to make the title of witch truly deserved.

Meanwhile, the girls who already possessed abilities, along with Momo's newly formed research team, began new research projects, studying the coordination and even fusion of various forces within Valhalla, and exploring the possibilities of Momo's quantum light power within non-scientific forces.

All of this created a bustling scene throughout Valhalla.

Of course, even amidst the busyness, there are girls who manage to steal a moment of leisure. For example, a certain pair of demons, who had only recently joined Valhalla, had completely fallen in love with its affluent and leisurely lifestyle. Compared to the endless fine wines and delicacies of Valhalla, spending time with Momo playing some unspeakable games seemed like an easily acceptable option.

For example, there's Best, who's always been playing around and seems to have lost his presence, as well as the newly joined Orange and the rabbit duo, Inaba Tei and Reisen, who were sold by their owner. Add to that Cirno, who's always been restless—no, now the strongest in the Hall of Heroes, number 9—and Koishi Komeiji, whose playfulness has increased after overcoming her reclusiveness. This playful little team is instantly formed and begins exploring the heavens and the earth.

Of course, there's also a strange new addition who calls herself Maelbely Hearn, nicknamed Meryl, and whose appearance and attire involuntarily remind people of Yukari Yakumo.

The heroic spirits entering Valhalla all possess knowledge of the entire world of anime and manga, including the name Marueribelli Hearn. Their gazes towards the little girl were somewhat complex; Momo's actions from the beginning had never intended to please the girls beside him.

However, little Mary was quickly accepted by everyone.

After all, Merry is Merry. Even if she possesses the power of the realm, she won't be Yakumo Yukari until she becomes Yakumo Yukari herself. Furthermore, seeing Yakumo Ran crying her eyes out while holding Merry, and ⑨ leading a group of playful girls protecting Merry, seemingly trying to recruit the former boss of Gensokyo as her underlings, who would bother Merry for Yakumo Yukari's sake?

After all... it's all in the past now.

Mo Mo had unknowingly erased most of the mistakes that Yukari Yakumo had made.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Merry hasn't become a Heroic Spirit yet. Little Merry has only recently appeared, and her intelligence is still that of a child, even less than that of ⑨ when he was still imagining things. In addition, since Momo has no intention of taking Merry as a Heroic Spirit for the time being, everyone has completely let ⑨ take Merry and play wildly in various worlds.

Even the small Gensokyo could keep ⑨ laughing and having a great time, let alone now that there are several worlds waiting for ⑨ and her friends to explore!

Momo, who already had an avatar inside the Hall of Heroes, was fully aware of all of this. However, for Momo, the greatest gain was not obtaining Gensokyo, nor even the vast power system it provided.

In Momo's view, the most important thing is always people.

What's most important in the world of anime and manga?
