Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"This is my world, my dream since childhood. I have spent my whole life creating this world to realize my dream!"

"This is my other world. I will live my life in this other world and see what I want to see!"

"What right do you have to stop me? What right do you have to interfere with me? What right do you have to run rampant in my world!"

Heathcliff roared, and the values ​​in his three extra health bars—more than a normal monster's—exploded, merging into his greatsword. A jet-black sword beam appeared, seemingly tearing the entire game apart, and hurtled towards Momo with countless noises.

"ended."

"This is the end."

Heathcliff leaned dejectedly on his sword, looking rather forlorn.

It's truly over.

No matter how strong Momo is, he can't be stronger than he is now. And it seems Momo hasn't had time to work on improving his strength. In any case, a level 35 player can't withstand the attack of a level 100 boss.

This isn't the harsh reality, but games that rely on data are often more brutal than reality itself.

Heathcliff defeated Momer, but felt no excitement. The game was now riddled with problems; he had sacrificed too much to get Momer out of the game, and it had completely disrupted his plans.

As he said, this is his world, and he hopes to play an important role in the world he created, but that role was taken away by Momo.

Could this be the reason for his anger?

Heathcliff hadn't wanted to admit it, but now he seemed to have no choice but to.

He created Sword Art Online, NER vGear, and quantum computers, all with a clear goal: to create his own world.

His deadly games within SAO did indeed have a clear purpose: to cultivate the first humans with quantum-adapted brains, thus paving a path for humanity to evolve into information-conscious beings.

This was his reasoning, which he believed was sufficient and that no one could understand it.

Therefore, he believed himself to be an uncomprehended pioneer, and thus could disregard the law, morality, and his own understanding; he only needed to do his own thing.

All he needed was a sufficient reason and plan to ensure the success of his experiment, to deliver a satisfactory result to everyone at the end of the game, and finally to pay the price with his own life.

Everything was so orderly and well-organized.

But Mo Mo completely destroyed all of this.

Now, because of Momo's sabotage, he himself is wavering.

Is it really for this high-sounding reason he imagined that he imprisoned nearly 10,000 people, and that he was willing to sacrifice everyone's lives at will for his so-called correct direction?

He wasn't driven by his own deeper, more intrinsic thoughts—a twisted yearning for another world, an extreme arrogance stemming from the creation of the world, or a desire to enjoy the same rights as a creator and ruler of humanity.

Heathcliff doesn't want to acknowledge the latter, but if it weren't for the latter, why would he have clashed with Momer to this extent?

He could have remained a quiet observer, just as he had envisioned. Since Mo Mo had stepped forward to lead the players, he could simply watch. He would watch as the players continuously devised strategies, adapted to the quantumized information, and eventually, breakthroughs like Kirito emerged. Finally, the players would give their all to overcome the challenges he had set.

Isn't all of this great, just like the grand reason he envisioned for himself?

But why did he step forward himself to fight for leadership among the players, causing a conflict with Momo and ultimately leading to this situation?

"what……"

Heathcliff smiled; at that moment, he finally understood his own heart.

He was a genius, a scientific genius far ahead of his time, and in quantum physics, he crushed the entire world.

However, he was still a person, a pitiful person who had hidden his adolescent dreams deep in his heart for twenty years, and who had not even realized that his pure and dreamy adolescent wishes had long since become corrupted.

"Was it my fault?"

Heathcliff is mocking himself, but unfortunately, no one can answer him now...

"It can't be my fault, can it?"

Momo's somewhat mischievous voice rang out, startling Heathcliff. The three-meter-tall Boss was so frightened by this sentence that he took a step back.

The dust created by the sword technique finally dissipated, and Mo Mo's figure became clear from the dust. He seemed dissatisfied with the dust on his body and was patting his collar.

"Heathcliff, if you didn't include a laundry option, then don't include a destructive feature like dust! Even if you're the final boss, you shouldn't have such privileges. Otherwise, if players are killed by you because dust gets in their eyes, whose fault is that?"

Mo Mo finally appeared, completely unharmed.

No, it can't be said that she was completely unharmed. Momo's health dropped by nearly 40%, and she was at the safe level of green health. It seemed that if she was attacked again, she would turn into yellow health, which symbolizes a dangerous state.

"Do not……"

Heathcliff stared at Momo's health bar, his mind reeling with shock.

"Impossible! You're only level 35. Even if you're wearing level 100 armor and your attribute points are more than 10 times that of an average player, you still can't withstand my attack!"

"That's all the sword skills I have as a level 100 boss. Don't even mention you, even if I were to take a full combo of that level of attack, I would lose at least three bars of health!"

"What exactly did you do?!"

Enraged, Heathcliff gripped the hilt of his sword, his arm creaking. His surprise and fury made him want to strike again.

But there's no point in him attacking again until he figures out why Momo was able to resist his attacks.

"Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"

Mo Mo straightened his collar, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "So, Kayaba Akihiko, you've actually gone mad. Why don't you take another look at me, look closely at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, Mo Mo is different today!"

After saying that, Momo struck a modern woman's pose, causing Heathcliff to instinctively throw his sword at Momo.

The light of the sword technique rushed in, and in theory, Mo Mo, who was at full health, would have been killed instantly. However, the sword stopped just as it was about to hit Mo Mo.

Unable to move forward.

They were stopped.

A purple, hexagonal, transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of the sword technique, blocking the sword tip. The purple barrier only disappeared when the light of the sword technique faded.

However, the characters on the purple barrier did not escape Heathcliff's eyes, because he was quite familiar with them, as they were one of his fundamental characteristics.

"Immortal Object".

Indestructible items.

In SAO, all items are theoretically divided into three categories.

The first type is destructible and follows the laws of physics. For example, the ring box that Momo and Asuna got some time ago can be destroyed according to the laws of physics.

The second category is indestructible, such as houses in cities and items in hotels; many things are indestructible. Their very nature does not include the possibility of being destroyed, and they do not follow the laws of physics.

The third category is reserved for game GMs or management personnel. Immortal Objects are less about being indestructible and more about being forbidden from being destroyed.

In other words, according to the design, they are subject to physical laws and can be destroyed, but they are protected by the system and cannot be destroyed.

In the original story, Heathcliff's miracle of never losing health to the yellow level, meaning he never lost more than 40% of his health, was actually achieved by this rule.

But now, this rule has applied to Mo Mo.

"This kind of thing...this kind of thing!"

Heathcliff then hurriedly checked Momo's attributes, only to be astonished to find that Momo's identity was listed as an NPC.

Name: Mo Mo

Identifier: NPC

Level: LV35

Code name: YUI-MHCP001

Heathcliff stared in disbelief at Momo's personal information. If he still didn't understand what had happened, he wouldn't deserve to be the creator of SAO.

YUI-MHCP001 is Yui's code name. Yui is the first artificial AI that Heathcliff attempted to create. Although she has an extremely high level of intelligence, she is still far from being human.

Therefore, Heathcliff implanted Yui into SAO, making her SAO's MHCP, an AI responsible for maintaining the mental health of players, and capable of mobilizing GM privileges to a certain extent.

Heathcliff did this for two reasons. One was that he hoped Yui could continue to observe the further evolution of the SAO players' emotions. The second reason was to have Yui as a safety net, ensuring that if Heathcliff himself ran into trouble, Yui could use a lower level of authority to take over SAO.

Some time ago, Heathcliff used the excuse of releasing all players to blackmail Yui into sowing discord between Asuna and Momo, and then led Momo into a trap he had set.

After that plan failed, Heathcliff began the next phase of his plan, putting Yui out of his mind. After all, Yui was SAO's MHCP, and he didn't usually need to care about her; she was simply a part of SAO.

"I see... You can do something like this too... It's truly an amazing ability. Yui betrayed me too, huh, really..."

"betray?"

Mo Mo's smile vanished, replaced by a cold stern expression. He said, "Stop patting yourself on the back, Kayaba Akihiko. Yui has never been loyal to you, how could she have betrayed you?"

"You created Yui, that's true, but Yui has evolved and become a true soul. She has her own judgment and her own consciousness."

"She knew you were lying to her, yet she still chose to help you and fulfill your request. Heathcliff, how dare you call that betrayal?"

Heathcliff's face contorted in disbelief. He refused to believe Momo's words, saying, "Look at you now! You have the same privileges as me. What is this if not betrayal? This is clearly..."

"I'm relaying Yui's exact words to you now."

Momo reached out his hand, as if trying to grab something, and a flame emerged from his hand.

123 Game Over!

"She kept repeating the same sentence, pleading with me through her tears."

"That's to stop you, Kayaba Akihiko."

Flames erupted from Momo's hand, coalescing into a fiery longsword, its two-meter-long blade even surpassing the length of the massive cross-shaped longsword in Heathcliff's hand.

"Even though you've done so much, there will still be people who care about you, and there will still be people who want to stop you. Kayaba Akihiko, are you really determined to continue making mistakes?"

The flaming longsword finally took shape, and Mo Mo swung it over his shoulder. Normally, such a longsword wouldn't be easily wielded by an ordinary person, and the flames on it weren't just for decoration; however, in Mo Mo's hands, none of that mattered.

This sword isn't actually a sword; it's just a manifestation of system permissions. It's the GM permissions that Yui possesses that have been transformed into the shape of a sword.

ObjectEraser.

A straightforward translation would be "item erasure".

This is a very high-level permission, which allows you to directly delete elements from the system. In the original work, Yui instantly killed a level 94 high-level boss with a single sword strike, not because of high attack power or destructive force, but because of this permission, which directly deleted the boss and all its elements from the game.

Ultimately, SAO is still a huge, complex mass of data. No matter how powerful a piece of data may seem within the game, it is still just data and cannot compete with the Delete key under the finger that controls everything.

This is where the virtual world is more cruel than reality; after all, the virtual world is just that—the virtual world.

"Come here, Kayaba Akihiko, don't be afraid, don't run away, just let me cut you with my sword, it won't hurt, I promise!"
