Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Gaia persistently gathered the quantum light and shaped it into a human form; a male body gradually took shape in her hands. This was the male body she knew best, and she was even intimately familiar with its temperature and size changes.

"Perhaps from the very beginning, drawing clear lines was the most important thing to do. If it were just you and me, and humanity, even if things were a little blurry and chaotic, it wouldn't have made any difference. But now, with the addition of the two-dimensional world, it's time for our wills to be separated."

"Lord Gaia..."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, Xiao Ye."

A smile crept across Gaia's lips as she reached out and began to draw facial features on the humanoid face. Mo Mo's face gradually appeared as she said, "Although it's a bit late now, it's always better to mend the fence after the sheep are lost than to continue making mistakes. Let's draw a line today. Since you and humanity are so wary of the two-dimensional world, then live well in the three-dimensional world and strive for the three-dimensional world that belongs to humanity."

"As for me... I haven't given up on what I'm hoping for. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm still willing to give it a try."

Light began to emanate from Gaia's body. Her light blue hair gradually faded, dried out, and soon turned into messy white hair resembling withered grass. This light formed a pillar that shot into the sky, instantly bursting out of the two-dimensional world and entering the three-dimensional world, landing on Gaia's throne.

Beside Gaia's throne, Alaya stared in astonishment at everything, her eyes filled with bewilderment, not understanding what Gaia was trying to do.

"This is my power, my authority, the power called Gaia. Now, I entrust it to you, so that you may temporarily manage everything in the three-dimensional world."

"Once you have mastered them, close the rift between dimensions completely. I will stay in the two-dimensional world, and I will do my best to make what I desire appear in my own way. With my power, you will no longer have to worry about the two-dimensional world experiencing great chaos. You can control the power to restart the two-dimensional world at any time."

Gaia's voice grew weaker and weaker. Finally, after she had completely sculpted Momo's body, she hugged it tightly, gently closed her eyes, and weakly said, "Let's decide it this way. If it turns out I'm wrong, then let me fulfill my wish..."

"...Let him be buried with you."

046 Stealing the Power of the World

The supreme divine creation, upon which Alaya sits.

As a supreme deity, it seemed that nothing in the world could make her nervous, stir her heart, or shake her will. While not without desires, what could possibly attract such a supreme being as herself?

The answer is yes.

Beside her, a dazzling gem formed from azure light, suspended above the throne. That was Gaia's place, and this azure gem symbolized Gaia's power and authority.

Alaya and Gaia are different.

Alaya is human consciousness, a deity created by the collective concept of humanity. Although it can interfere with the world and matter to a certain extent, it is ultimately an extension and sublimation of the concept of humanity, and must remain at the foundation of humanity.

Gaia, on the other hand, is the embodiment of the concept of the world. Everything in the entire three-dimensional world, whether it be time, spacetime, matter, or life, is contained within Gaia's authority. This immense power has always been wielded by Gaia, whom Momo doesn't consider very reliable, and Gaia, who wields this power, has never revealed its true strength.

Perhaps this indicates that Gaia is inadequate?

That's certainly a possibility.

However, just like the Supreme Commander who controls powerful nuclear weapons, should this power, which is capable of destroying and turning everything around, be allowed to lie dormant quietly, or should it be allowed to erupt and display its power? Which approach would be considered qualified and great?

Now, this power has been split off by Gaia and placed on Gaia's throne. Currently, this power has no master, like the final confirmation remote control of a nuclear weapon placed on a table, awaiting its next owner.

Who could resist this temptation?

No one can refuse.

Moreover, all of this was what Alaya longed for and desired from the very beginning. It was what Alaya had been trying to achieve from the very start.

Now, she has succeeded.

No one can defeat Gaia, no one can outwit Gaia, not even Alaya, a fact that Alaya herself has never doubted. The gap between them is so vast that Gaia can disregard all conspiracies and tricks, regarding Alaya's every action as nothing more than her daughter's mischief.

It is absolutely impossible to seize control of Gaia.

But now, Alaya has succeeded.

Long ago, Alaya realized that only she herself could defeat the powerful Gaia. Only by plunging Gaia into irreconcilable contradictions and forcing Gaia to lay down its armor and power would Alaya have even the slightest chance to succeed.

So what should we do?

This was a long process, a long process of reflection and constant revision. In the end, Alaya finally understood that it was impossible to defeat Gaia, who sat high on the throne. To defeat Gaia, one had to transform him from a cold, supreme deity into a human being capable of communication; one had to pull Gaia down from his throne, even push him into the mortal realm, and let Gaia fall into depravity.

Only in this way will the supreme god fall from the invincible top to the bottom where he can be defeated, and the invincible top will then be vacant, waiting for the arrival of the next king.

We finally succeeded...

Alaya had been looking forward to this day for too long, had calculated too much, tried too much, and had lost too much.

But now that we have Gaia's authority in our hands, it's all worth it.

Alaya began to tremble, and a cold smile emerged from her expressionless face. The smile grew wider and wider, revealing her pearly white teeth, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons.

She readily accepted the allure of the magnificent gems, allowing it to ferment within her heart. This immense profit was enough to drive all of humanity mad, elevating the human species above the level of mere existence, making them truly the masters of the world. And she, as the collective entity of humanity, Alaya, would naturally also become the true master of the world.

Named Alaya, yet possessing the power of Gaia, it has risen from the foundation of humanity to the highest pinnacle of the world, a truly absolute and supreme ruler.

How wonderful!

How delightful!

This joy nourished Alaya's mind and body, and also plunged people all over the world into a state of great intoxication. It was as if everyone in the world was breathing in the scent of paradise, and they all stopped what they were doing, eager to share in this grand celebration of human evolution.

The transformation from mortal beings to the supreme gods.

Alaya arrived before Gaia's throne, eagerly reaching out her hands to cradle the azure gem. The immense power, seemingly capable of controlling everything, now shone quietly in her hands.

Everything that is in the past is over, and everything that is to come will be a new beginning.

Alaya solemnly held the gem, raising it slowly as if to place it on her forehead, as if to put on a crown. The gem seemed to sense Alaya's presence, to sense its new host, and to sense the power within Alaya that shared the same origin as Gaia.

Aquamarine ripples danced across the gemstone, its light trembling as if excited to have found a new master, yet hesitant to accept her affections. The process appeared swift, but was actually incredibly slow—so slow that Alaya could not wait. She extended her slender, long index finger and gently touched the gemstone, her power seeping into it, ready to unleash its full potential.

Since the gem is hesitating, then let Alaya and all of humanity take the initiative to bear this power!

At this moment, the power within the gemstone finally began to flicker, countless forces surging forth, and azure light wove a dazzling crown in Alaya's hands. At the very center of the crown was the azure gemstone representing Gaia's authority. In an instant, the crown was formed, and feeling the connection between himself and the power within it, Alaya's smile widened even further.

It worked!

A new era has arrived!

Alaya slowly placed the crown on her head, and a light blue glow seeped outwards, dyeing Gaia's hair a light blue. Even Gaia's pure white dress turned a beautiful light blue. Everything was changing in the direction Alaya desired; everything was as Alaya had predicted.

Until... Alaya was shocked to discover that, without her noticing, she had become unable to move!

Maintaining the posture of about to don the crown, the light blue power permeated every part of Alaya's body, and all of humanity shared this power, just like a well-fed and content baby.

Unfortunately... the problem is, this power seems to be inexhaustible!

The immense power overwhelmed Alaya and all of humanity, yet it continued to pour outwards relentlessly!

047 Success or Death

what happened?

Why is this happening?!

The pleasure in Alaya's eyes turned to astonishment, then to panic. She had never imagined that she would be unable to absorb Gaia's power. Gaia seemed to control it with ease, and the power appeared calm and stable in Gaia's hands…

But why did this magnificent aquamarine power, once in Alaya's hands, seem to transform into a raging storm, becoming wild and uncontrollable? Waves of power washed over Alaya's entire body, washing over the collective consciousness of all humanity, as if trying to completely destroy the species called humanity.

No!

This can't go on!

If this continues... Alaya will collapse, and the species called humanity will collapse! This seemingly ordinary power, once unleashed, will absolutely destroy the entire world instantly, even plunging it back into chaos. Faced with such a terrifying calamity, humanity has absolutely no chance of survival!

Similarly, Alaya, as the collective consciousness of humanity, could not possibly survive.

withstand!

We must hold on!

Alaya began frantically mobilizing its power to stop Gaia's power from flowing in and to prevent the azure energy from spreading. The azure light began to flow back towards the crown, and Alaya also tried to control the crown to reduce the flow of power.

But Alaya was shocked to discover that the crown, which she had previously maintained a slight connection with and could control, had completely lost control in an instant. This power had transformed into an irrational and volatile child, its energy becoming an extremely unstable and volatile element, seemingly poised to erupt at any moment.

Finished!

Alaya instantly understood what was going on.

The world may seem vast and boundless, and Gaia's authority may seem immense and invincible. But in reality, the entire world is a miracle constructed from a series of intricate structures, and Gaia's power is also linked together by a series of invisible interlocking chains, each one indispensable and irreplaceable.

Just like many scientific constants in the laws governing the world, even changing a small number can cause earth-shattering changes, or even destruction, to the entire world and the universe.

This is also reflected in the power that Alaya is trying to seize.

If Alaya had accepted Gaia's power normally, the world would have continued to function as usual, and perhaps Alaya could have truly replaced Gaia as the supreme and only true god. However, Alaya and all of humanity were unable to withstand this power, which led to chaos.

Whether Alaya tries to sever this power and absorb half of it, or tries to push it back into its original state, it is essentially disrupting the intricate structure of this power. And these intricate structures are certainly beyond the comprehension and control of Alaya, who has only a partial understanding of this power.

As a result, the world's power structure inevitably became chaotic and flawed, and the entire world began to distort and change under the influence of this force. A development called collapse instantly appeared and spread wildly outwards like falling dominoes.

The world is collapsing!

The panic on Alaya's face turned into fear and helplessness. She couldn't fully understand the changes, much less stop them. And even if Alaya tried to stop these changes like a gambler, she would first have to throw away the crown she was wearing.

However... a crown can be easily picked up, but not easily put down.

The chaotic power within the crown represents a chaotic world, and Alaya, unable to control this power, dares not discard the crown. If Alaya were to discard the crown, the already chaotic power would instantly collapse.

Alaya realized at this moment that she had opened Pandora's box, and what awaited her in the box was not only supreme power, but also an irresistible disaster!

One step to the summit, one step to the abyss.

It's over...it's really over!

All emotions ultimately culminated in despair, a despair that enveloped Alaya and the hearts of all humanity. At this moment, it seemed that no one could save Alaya, save humanity, or save this world on the verge of destruction…

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

Just then, Gaia's voice appeared.

The ethereal voice echoed in Alaya's ears, reverberated throughout the world, and gently brushed against the depths of all human souls, instantly calming the world from despair and collapse.

"This is a safety net I've set up; it will give you time and a chance. However, this is also the last chance, my final act of leniency."

The azure light suddenly shone brightly, sweeping across Alaya's body, across the physical bodies of all living beings on Earth, across the entire universe and world, covering everything with a layer of pale blue ice crystals.

Everything was frozen.

Alaya ceased to move, humanity turned into ice sculptures, the Earth stopped rotating and revolving, even the flames of stars stopped, and the entire Milky Way galaxy became a beautiful ice sculpture.

Everything was still.

"Little Ye, let's gamble one more time!"

"The stakes are your fate and that of humanity, the future of this world."

Gaia's voice gradually faded, but the madness in Alaya's eyes intensified.
