Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"It is true that we are all supreme gods, but we are all supreme gods in the three-dimensional world. For the two-dimensional world, our power actually works indirectly. However, precisely because we are supreme gods in the three-dimensional world, our power is projected into the two-dimensional world and works. In this way, our power can ignore the logic of time, space, cause and effect, and work at any time and in any place in any world at will."

"This is the truth behind our invincible power in the world of anime."

"Similarly, once we ourselves are trapped in the two-dimensional world, our power is no different from that of the gods in each world. And someone like me, whose divine power has been severed, is really just an ordinary life form with no ability to resist."

After explaining her situation, Gaia looked at Momo with resentful eyes and said, "Now I have no one to rely on but you. Momo, you once possessed my body so passionately, you wouldn't abandon me after all, would you?"

050 Of course, I'll forgive her!

Gaia's melancholy eyes and the sadness on her delicate face were enough to melt anyone's heart.

Unfortunately, Momo is not currently included in this group.

Momo only wanted to do one thing: to hold Gaia upside down and make intimate contact with Gaia's buttocks with her palms a hundred times, so that Gaia would understand, through painful lessons, how much Momo was indignant about what she had done.

Unfortunately, Mo Mo was a little hesitant to make a move.

Although Gaia seemed to have truly lost her power at this moment, and according to her, she would remain powerless for a long time, Momo still felt lingering fear of this great goddess. Momo didn't distrust Gaia, but she didn't completely trust her either.

Who knows if the current situation is because this great deity has some mischievous idea up his sleeve again?

The previous 20,000 sisters' pit almost killed Mo Mo in the brown ocean, so Mo Mo now naturally has to be careful to guard against Gaia designing another epic pit.

Since he didn't dare to lay a hand on Gaia, all Momo could do was forgive her.

Mo Mo chose to act on himself, pointing to the top of his head, whereupon a huge character for "injustice" formed. With this character, shimmering with emerald light, above his head, Mo Mo met Gaia's gaze with sincerity and said, "Big boss, don't play tricks, a country bumpkin like me can't handle this!"

"I'm not playing tricks on you. I really have no strength left, and I'm extremely weak. If you leave me behind, I will absolutely, positively die, I'm not kidding!"

Gaia spoke with great seriousness, her eyes even welling up with tears. Looking at her shoulders, which were beginning to tremble, she would probably start sobbing and point at Momo in less than ten seconds, saying there was a heartless man here.

"You keep saying that the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds are blocked, and that you have no power. Then why does my Hall of Heroes still function normally, and why can my trading power still be used normally? These are all due to the power of Alaya, right? Since her power can achieve the desired effect, isn't your power the same?"

This is Momo's biggest question right now. If Gaia can answer this question, perhaps Momo will try to believe in Gaia.

Unfortunately, Gaia blinked, a sly glint in her eyes, and didn't directly answer Mo Mo's question. Instead, she asked Mo Mo a question that took him by surprise: "Who told you that the power of trading and the operation of the Hall of Heroes rely on the power of Alaya?"

Momo's brain short-circuited almost instantly from Gaia's rhetorical question, shattering the very foundation of all his thinking. The shock and bewilderment this question evoked in Momo was no less than the emotions physicists felt when they discovered that Newton's classical mechanics was insufficient.

The power of Valhalla and the power of transactions do not originate from Alaya.

How can this be?

The simplest solution is to treat Gaia's words as alarmist and sophistry, so that you don't have to think about or question them, since Alaya seems to have nothing to question.

But... what if Gaia's statement has some truth to it, or is even possible?

What if the power of Valhalla and the power of transactions do not actually originate from Alaya?

What if all the settings from the beginning were not as Mo Mo assumed, and all of Mo Mo's power did not come from the gift of Alaya?

Momo's breathing almost stopped; the questions and doubts that needed to be considered suddenly seemed endless. Whether one believed in Gaia or not was the difference between completely believing in Alaya and not believing in Alaya, leading to countless doubts.

Momo didn't want to question Alaya, or anything he had previously accepted and believed. After all, Momo wasn't a scientist or researcher; even if he knew there were errors in what he believed, he wouldn't obsessively try to find out everything. Businessmen always prioritize goals and profits, and they can easily accept any ambiguity in the process.

Unfortunately, even if Mo Mo didn't want to, he had to consider the current situation. After all, the Hall of Heroes was Mo Mo's and his wives' home, containing everything he cherished and relied on, and representing all of his interests. Furthermore, the power of trade was a powerful tool for Mo Mo to conquer the world and defeat his enemies. Mo Mo absolutely could not give up any of this; he had to hold onto it no matter what.

This is where the problem arises.

If the source of Valhalla and the power of the transaction is not Alaya, then Momo must figure out the source of this power and nip any possibility of loss and destruction in the bud.

"If it's not the power of Alaya, then is it still your power?"

Mo Mo's voice carried a hint of frivolous laughter, seemingly unconcerned about Gaia's words, as he said, "I won't fall for this kind of counter-espionage. If you want to prove what you just said, you'll have to provide evidence that I can be convinced of. Otherwise, even if you are Gaia, trying to sow discord between me and the boss, I will teach you a lesson."

"Didn't you say someone would write tally marks on you? Don't worry, no need to bother anyone else, I'll conjure up a thousand people myself, and I'll take care of those thousand tally marks!"

Gaia rolled her eyes, seemingly unconcerned by Mo Mo's threat. She grinned slyly and said, "Hmph, so what if I don't tell you the truth? Go ahead and investigate if you dare! You have no choice but to believe it, unless you can be ruthless enough to ignore everything around you."

"Hmph, I saw right through you a long time ago. You are definitely a sentimental person. You keep calling yourself a businessman, but being a businessman is just your past life. Now, you are more like a traveling merchant with a family to support than a businessman."

"Of course, it's not impossible for me to reveal a little bit, as long as you admit what you did to me in the past, and then... otherwise, hmph!"

Under Mo Mo's increasingly stern gaze, Gaia seemed unwilling to say anything more and shut her mouth somewhat hesitantly. She glanced to the side, seemingly afraid to meet Mo Mo's eyes, or perhaps disliking the current atmosphere.

As she said, having become a humanoid being, emotions and feelings had naturally begun to arise and flow within her consciousness. At this moment, she no longer possessed Gaia's power, and naturally, she no longer possessed the supreme will that time and death could not shake. Even these somewhat novel emotional fluctuations caused the outwardly strong Gaia a little bit of panic.

Of course, Gaia decided not to show this slight panic.

Who is Mo Mo?

This is a terrifying merchant who can devour people without spitting out the bones. Especially since Gaia still considers herself a cute girl at this time, she might not only be eaten if she is not careful, but also captured and kept by his side to suffer some kind of torture with sticks for 25 hours a day.

"Otherwise what? I'll learn a painful lesson?"

Mo Mo's face seemed to turn completely cold, and the green "Injustice" character above his head transformed into a burning "Anger" character, seemingly representing Mo Mo's mood.

“Gaia, Gaia, your threats do seem to be very effective. But you’ve forgotten a very important point: there must be a prerequisite for threatening someone.”

"That means... you have to make sure the person you're threatening doesn't retaliate!"

051 Think about what you have done in the past

Upon hearing this, Gaia's hair stood on end, and he desperately pushed Momo away with both hands, saying, "What... what are you going to do!"

What am I supposed to do?

This time, Mo Mo revealed a sinister smile and said, "Of course I believe you! According to you, aren't you now a little girl with absolutely no power or ability to resist? Don't you still want me to take responsibility?"

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility. I remember everything you did in the past clearly, and I will repeat it on you in a responsible manner. Similarly, this can also verify whether what you said is true."

"Come on, Gaia, let's have some fun!"

Gaia screamed, trying to escape Momo's clutches, but Momo unceremoniously grabbed Gaia's waist and lifted her up. Then, Momo snapped his fingers, and a device called a neural connection terminal appeared around Gaia's neck. Finally, the domineering Momo forcibly connected with Gaia and pulled her into a virtual space.

This is a vibrant world; this is the world where Momo makes friends with the heroic spirits of Gensokyo; here, Momo and everyone went from acquaintances to friends, spending ten years here in ten minutes of real time under a million-fold acceleration; this place is filled with traces of Momo and the girls, and almost the entire world is permeated with Momo's aura.

This made it seem as if a field of Momo had been sown in spring, and finally, when Momo and Gaia entered this place, they reaped even more Momo—a full 20,000 sincere Momo stood there in 20,000 different JoJo poses, showing a sincere smile to Gaia who had not yet realized the situation.

"Alright, Lord Gaia. In order for us to trust and understand each other more, I have decided that while recalling what I have done, I will also make Lord Gaia aware of what you have done in the past."

"Don't worry, it won't take too long. I can become good friends with other girls in ten minutes, and I can definitely reach mutual trust with you in an hour."

Gaia looked around and saw 20,000 Momos with sincere and kind eyes and gentle smiles. Her face turned ashen. She trembled and curled up into a ball, then made a humble plea to Momo.

"Um... how about we write tally marks instead? A thousand... no, ten thousand tally marks, you can write as many as you want. Don't worry too much about what you did or did in the past, and an hour is too long, how about a millionth of a second?"

"It's a pity."

The twenty thousand Mo Mos laughed heartily in unison and said, "I refuse."

"Ahhhh!"

Poor Gaia, faced with everything before her, seemed to finally feel immense remorse for her past actions, shedding tears of regret, and then, in endless sorrow, she sank into the milky white ocean.

……

"In the end, was I the one who got scammed?"

Momo rubbed his chin, somewhat annoyed, and removed the neural connection device between himself and Gaia. As for Gaia, she slumped against Momo, seemingly having stopped breathing, her body, already soaked in sweat, appearing cold and stiff.

Even her soul was ripped away by some powerful mental shock. All that remained of her body was the somewhat eerie smile on her lips and the occasional strange burp.

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

Momo didn't do anything excessive; she merely helped Gaia recall her past actions, so Gaia's physical condition has nothing to do with Momo.

As for Gaia's current half-dead or truly dying state, Mo Mo wasn't too worried. It wasn't because Gaia's deathly appearance was fake, but because Gaia had become one of the heroic spirits of Valhalla.

Yes, Gaia has become Momo's Heroic Spirit. It sounds unbelievable, but it is a fact at least for now.

In that brief hour, Momo not only helped Gaia recall her actions but also reached a basic consensus with her, establishing a preliminary relationship of trust. The argument between the two needed a point of reference to complete the exchange, and that point ultimately rested on Valhalla and the power of trade.

Gaia, consumed by remorse and immersed in a milky-white ocean, after countless cycles of life and death, finally uttered the words to exchange information using her trading powers and voluntarily become a Heroic Spirit on Momo's side. Momo, with a try-it-and-see attitude, conducted the experiment, and indeed, Gaia was pulled in.

Momo, who had pulled Gaia into Valhalla, looked at Gaia floating in the milky white water and saw a hint of smugness in her eyes, and then realized that he seemed to have been tricked.

Because... it seems that there is no concept of expelling someone from Valhalla!

In other words, regardless of how Gaia came to be, once Gaia entered Valhalla and became a Heroic Spirit, at least according to the rules of Valhalla, Momo could not expel Gaia, a qualified Heroic Spirit.

Heroic Spirits have a lifetime tenure!

Currently, the information from Yui and Valhalla clearly indicates that the half-dead Gaia has indeed become a Heroic Spirit recognized and supported by Valhalla, no different from the girl who has appeared beside Momo. Furthermore, the transaction process with Gaia also demonstrates that Gaia is subject to the constraints of the trading authority.

All of this seemed to prove that Gaia wasn't lying; at this point, she was indeed just an ordinary humanoid being. She no longer possessed divine power, could be easily modified by the powerful Valhalla, and was completely subject to the limitations of the power of trade.

But does that mean we can truly trust Gaia?

Momo shook his head at this, still finding many things highly suspicious. After all, considering Gaia's original ability to break the rules, perhaps she had unknowingly gained complete control over Valhalla and the power of trade, allowing her to manifest any appearance under her power.

But this is just speculation, and a conspiracy theory-based speculation at that. Obviously, such speculation is not convincing, and Momo will not deny the reality before him because of conspiracy theories.

Therefore, for the time being, Momo can only choose to trust Gaia, even though there is still a possibility that Momo will be tricked. Of course, if Gaia is really willing to abandon his dignity and self-respect and go to great lengths to harm Momo, then Momo will have to accept his fate.

Mo Mo was powerless against the Supreme God, and if the Supreme God really wanted to trick Mo Mo, Mo Mo couldn't stop him!

At worst, next time it'll be Momo recounting what she did!

"Yui, take her back to Valhalla... No, no need."

Momo had originally intended for Gaia to return to Valhalla to recuperate, but at that moment, Gaia opened her eyes and slowly reached out her small hand to take Momo's large hand. Seeing the look of confusion mixed with affection in her eyes, Momo had no choice but to let her stay.

The quantum light in Momo's hand began to envelop Gaia's body, transforming into a nourishing radiance. Gaia was in very poor condition at this moment, not because Momo had just made Gaia recall his past actions, but because Gaia's body was already extremely weak.

This weakness is like an overreaction of the body after its life force has been drained in an instant. Momo doesn't have a complete cure for it, but returning to Valhalla with Gaia will surely restore it.

"Hmm, Little Ye..."

Gaia murmured softly, seemingly chanting the name Alaya. This made Momo raise an eyebrow, and the fiery red "anger" character above his head almost turned green again. Although being jealous of Alaya seemed a bit childish, what could Momo do when he was reminiscing with Gaia about his actions over the past sixty years?

This might not seem like much to Gaia, but for Momo, it was indeed a long time. After all, Momo was still a young man over a hundred years old, and sixty years was a considerable period.

"...Mo Mo, I can't eat anymore..."

But Gaia's subsequent murmur made Mo Mo lower her raised eyebrows. In any case, Gaia is a patient now, so let her go for now and ask her what happened later.

Momo decided to calmly accept Gaia's presence and not react with surprise. After all, no matter how Gaia changed, she was still Gaia, and Momo had to try her best to maintain her dignity in her presence...

"I'm so hungry...I want to eat!"

However, Mo Mo's composure vanished the moment Gaia put the necklace around her neck into her mouth and bit it to pieces.

"Mmm, delicious..."
