Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Alaya did not answer; she disdained to lie.

From a purely ethical standpoint, a mother is naturally not an outsider to an individual. However, from the perspective of the Alaya consciousness, which is part of the collective human consciousness, Gaia can never be considered one of them.

After all, Gaia wasn't even human.

Emotionally, many people might praise Earth as humanity's mother. However, for humanity as a whole, Earth has always been merely a living environment. If Earth were indispensable, humanity would endlessly praise and rely on it. But if a substitute were available, would humanity be willing to risk everything to protect Earth?

All of this still requires a huge question mark.

Gaia did not expect Alaya's reply. He walked barefoot on the green grass, and the two fell into complete silence, the atmosphere becoming cold.

"What kind of expression would your partner have if they knew the truth?"

Gaia spoke softly, her voice carrying a strange tone that gave off a threatening feeling. However, Alaya seemed unconcerned by such words, as if she were used to them, and said, "When that day comes, I will break this contract."

"Interruption? I seem to recall that there was no clause about interruption in your agreement. As long as he can continue to complete your mission, you can allow him to continue traveling."

“No matter what the mission is, there will come a day when it is completely completed. I believe he is at least mentally prepared for that. Besides, he ultimately depends on our strength. Without our support, he can't do anything.”

Alaya glanced at the Hall of Heroes and said, "At that time, I will give him everything he already possesses, and may even designate several worlds for him to rule. He is a smart man, and even if he is dissatisfied, he will submit."

“In other words,” Gaia nodded her little head and said, “you think he definitely won’t go down the same old path, definitely won’t make things worse, and you’re sure you’ve already won?”

"Yes."

Alaya smiled faintly and said, "As long as you stop making any underhanded moves, I will surely be the victor. You really don't need to worry about anything. You will still be the master of the three-dimensional world, and humanity will have a vast new world to live and explore. This is a happy ending for everyone."

“Everyone’s happy, huh?” Gaia smiled slightly, but there was a hint of sadness and bitterness in her smile. “There will always be someone who’s unhappy.”

Silence then descended once more.

Cirno seemed to have finally rested enough. Full of energy, she pulled a group of girls who were almost asleep with their eyes half-closed up to get up, and then, fully armed, they rushed towards the tower in Aincrad, with laughter and chatter all the way.

Throughout the process, Gaia and Alaya acted as observers, calmly watching everything unfold. However, after the group of people disappeared from their sight, Gaia suddenly erupted in anger, clenching her fists and shouting, "Alaya, you're a big idiot!" With that, she turned and ran away into the distance without looking back, just like a little girl throwing a tantrum.

Alaya remained completely calm, even speaking in a cold tone: "Gaia, please don't interfere with things any longer, and don't act recklessly. You know the consequences of some things."

"Pah! Mind your own business! You big idiot, Alaya, pah!"

At this moment, Gaia seemed to have truly transformed into a little devil, venting his temper wildly at Alaya. Seeing that Alaya had no reaction, Gaia didn't last long before giving up, tearing open a gap with his hands and jumping in, leaving Alaya still in Valhalla.

Alaya shook her head helplessly, and with a gentle wipe, the crack disappeared without a trace. She didn't chase after Gaia; she knew what Gaia was thinking and what she was planning—all of this was something she had long hoped would happen.

However, recalling Gaia's dejected expression just now, Alaya felt her originally firm heart waver, because she also understood Gaia's feelings, and she was taking advantage of that emotion.

"Even at this point, there are still moments of wavering. Indeed, among the inherent flaws of humanity is this kind of wavering emotion. However, there is no turning back now; everything is for the benefit of humanity."

"I'm sorry, Mother."

……

In the void, Momo and the Dragon God continued their journey, but the Dragon God's speed was getting slower and slower, as if the thing called vitality had finally disappeared from the Dragon God's body.

"Lord Dragon God? Brother Dragon God? Elder Dragon God? Little Bitch Dragon God?"

Momo, composed of light, sat atop the Dragon God's head, patting it with his hand. A hint of helplessness and anxiety flashed in his eyes. Although he knew that his actions might not be very effective, this was the only way he could try to awaken the Dragon God.

"Hey, give me some response! You're a big shot, don't just die like this, so pathetic. Didn't you promise to die on your homeland, even if you have to?"

"We're not even there yet. Wouldn't it be too frustrating to die on the way home?"

Unfortunately, the Dragon God seemed to be truly dead. His massive body was no longer moving at all, only drifting slowly through the void due to inertia.

Of course, since there are no reference points, it is possible that the Dragon God's body has already stopped moving at this moment.

"If all else fails, summon me over there, Momo."

The speaker was Eirin Yagokoro, who had now become a true Heroic Spirit. Thanks to the support of Gensokyo, she had also regained her original abilities as a pharmacist and a member of the Hourai people.

Although she had some reservations about Momo's relationship with Kaguya Houraisan, Yagokoro Eirin was quite satisfied with everything as it was, compared to the possibility of Kaguya Houraisan dying or going insane.

This made Eirin Yagokoro consciously integrate into the Valhalla community, and the fastest way to integrate into the community and gain a sense of belonging was undoubtedly to help Momo solve his current difficulties.

Reimu has not been found yet.

The problem in Gensokyo seems to have been perfectly resolved, but the biggest problem still lies before Momo. In fact, after experiencing two consecutive worlds—the afterlife and Gensokyo—Momo still hasn't been able to fully ascertain Reimu's whereabouts, and he's already extremely anxious.

However, Mo Mo never showed this anxiety to anyone.

Mo Mo nodded slightly after hearing Eirin Yagokoro's words. He had also tried to extend the Dragon God's life with his own power, but unfortunately, they were not from the same system and were not so easily compatible.

So, Eirin Yagokoro is going to have to sell her blood again...?

Although I feel a little bad for the newly joined Eirin Yagokoro, it seems like this is the only way.

Just as Momo decided to summon Yagokoro Eirin, a figure suddenly fell from the void and smashed into Momo's head.

This is a petite girl with beautiful light blue hair.

017 Young man, come work with me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!

If a cute girl fell from the sky, what would your first reaction be?

Mo Mo is a man of action, so his first reaction was naturally to stand up, pick her up, and carry her in a princess carry.

This is the most suitable, proactive, and effective way to ensure the girl who fell won't get hurt. Of course, it's also the easiest way for Momo to increase her favorability with the girl later.

However, just as Mo Mo was about to catch the girl in his princess carry, he suddenly stepped back and disappeared. Then, as if he had never moved, he sat back in his original position, looking at the girl who was about to fall onto the Dragon God's head with a strange look.

The girl was about to fall, about to hit the Dragon God's head. This sentence describes a fleeting moment, and it froze in Mo Mo's mind.

What do you mean?

Momo stopped trying to hold the girl, because he recognized who this girl, about to fall to the ground, was. She wasn't a girl, not even a person; she was the main consciousness of Earth in the three-dimensional world, a great deity named Gaia. Not Momo's boss, but a being far more powerful than Momo's boss, Alaya.

Now, the girl who was Gaia in disguise remained suspended in mid-air, poised to fall, as if time had stood still for her. She seemed to be waiting for something, anticipating something.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and then the most awkward thing happened.

Mo Mo felt a bit of a toothache, after all, he couldn't afford to offend Gaia.

What Momo knows now is that his actions in the two-dimensional world are mostly related to some kind of bet between Gaia and Alaya. Momo doesn't want to know the details. In any case, as a lucky person who can travel in the two-dimensional world, Momo has always considered himself very fortunate and has never lacked respect for the two supreme gods.

But... as for Gaia, this unscrupulous supreme goddess who exploited Momo's blood and tears to forge jewelry—and right now she was wearing the complete set of jewelry, radiating Momo's aura—Momo really couldn't bring himself to show her any respect.

At the very least, maintaining that reverence for the gods is no longer possible.

"Sigh... Lord Gaia, what are you putting on this show for?"

Mo Mo sighed. He couldn't let Gaia remain in this descent until the end of time, could he? Mo Mo considered himself very patient, but unfortunately, he had no intention of competing with Gaia in patience. Gaia could potentially live for tens or hundreds of thousands of years in the blink of an eye; who could possibly outlast her in a battle of patience?

Unfortunately, Gaia ignored Momo. She did a difficult head-up movement, her light blue hair partially covering her face, but revealing her angry eyes and a look that said, "It's all your fault."

"Hmm...is it my fault now?"

Mo Mo blinked, immediately understanding, and reluctantly stood up again, going to Gaia's side. He stretched out his hands, one hand on Gaia's shoulder, the other under Gaia's knees, saying, "Hey, I caught you!"

"Heh heh, you caught me!"

Gaia's sullen face finally showed a hint of satisfaction. She then released herself from the impending fall and landed in Mo Mo's arms.

Feeling the petite body and the faint, mysterious, and peaceful aura emanating from her, Mo Mo seemed to recall the pain of being relentlessly exploited by Gaia, and subconsciously wanted to throw the petite figure in her arms away.

But his body movements were exactly the opposite. He helped Gaia sit down, and without any hesitation, he pulled Gaia into his arms, wrapping his arms around Gaia's waist.

"Who gave you permission to do this?"

Gaia turned around and gave Momo a big eye roll. Momo shrugged but didn't let go of Gaia.

Although Momo didn't know what Gaia expected from him or what she wanted to gain from him, since Gaia had already established their relationship, Momo wouldn't try to ruin it. Despite the suspicion of using her body, Momo felt proud to be close to such a powerful being.

"It was my own idea to get close to you, Lord Gaia. If you don't want me to, then just kick me away."

"Hmph, if I kick you, you'll definitely die."

Gaia raised her foot and kicked forward, her small, pinkish-white toes, smaller than Mo Mo's palm, feeling almost as soft as holding cheese. Mo Mo had confirmed this countless times with her own hands while being exploited by Gaia.

"However, since you're so understanding, I'll spare your life."

Gaia didn't kick Momo's chest in the end. After all, Momo was holding her in his arms at this moment. Let alone kicking Momo, even punching Momo's chest with her little fists would be a difficult move and not easy to do.

"Then I must thank you, Lord Gaia."

Momo adjusted his position slightly, as Gaia was leaning against him, treating him like a sofa. To accommodate the big shot, Momo naturally wanted to make Gaia more comfortable; otherwise, if he really upset Gaia, he would be the one who suffered in the end.

Mo Mo didn't ask Gaia's purpose, and Gaia seemed unwilling to answer either. She simply closed her eyes, resting peacefully in Mo Mo's arms, seemingly asleep. This made Mo Mo breathe a slight sigh of relief; had she managed to get away with it for now?

Unfortunately, Mo Mo immediately realized that his idea was far too naive.

"Hey, Momo."

With her eyes closed, Gaia spoke softly, uttering something that Mo Mo never expected.

"Forget about Alaya, and stand on my side from now on. What she can give you, I can give you too, and what she can't give you, I can still give you."

"I can give you anything you want."

The voice was very soft, like a whisper in a dream, yet these soft words sent a jolt through Mo Mo's spine.

What does this question mean?

Mo Mo wanted to believe that this sentence was Gaia's confession to her, the beautiful ending of their growing feelings for each other, and the turning point for Mo Mo to marry a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of her life.

But will this situation really happen?

"I……"

Momo frowned. He didn't mind playing around with Gaia, or even being bullied a little by Gaia. However, Momo would never allow himself to get involved in the conflict between the two great gods, Gaia and Alaya.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. At least for Momo, he hasn't yet grasped the limits of the two supreme gods' abilities, nor does he have the slightest confidence to face the wrath of either. Given this situation, what should Momo do when faced with the now strange Gaia?

"I don't quite understand?"

Mo Mo put on a naive and puzzled smile, but he knew very well that the smile was 99% bitter and the remaining trace was only supported by his remaining acting skills.

Are you trying to persuade me to switch jobs?

018 I'm so angry!

Being pulled into the job change was something that Momo was quite happy about, both psychologically and physiologically. At least it proved Momo's own value and that in Gaia's eyes, Momo wasn't entirely a worthless plaything.

Even if it were truly a toy, it would clearly be a beloved toy that Gaia cherished and wanted to possess.

Although this comparison and upgrade was a bit shameless, Momo's pride, which had been shattered in front of Gaia, had at least recovered a little.
