Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"I've already told Anna what those two people look like." After saying this, Garfield quietly sat back down.

Anastasia's already weary face flashed with a hint of helplessness and resentment as she smiled at Garfield, "If you'd like, could you change how you address me?"

"No way! I'm the strongest shield for the General and Lady Emilia, there's nothing to say to a competitor like you. Although we're temporarily united because of the Witch Cult's invasion, I won't hold back when we compete later."

"Be prepared, Sister Anna!"

314. Extinction

"...After Garfield, Wilhelm, who had been silent for a long time, stood up. His face was ashen, his fists were clenched, and his pupils shot out two fierce rages like those of a lion."

"Based on Lady Anastasia's description of the two people's appearances, and considering that they even made His Highness Garfield admit his inferiority, I have two guesses... The man with six arms might be the Eight-Armed War God of the Holy Flaccia Empire, who died in battle long ago, and that woman..."

"Silently, he raised his hand shakily, and everyone saw the wound on Wilhelm's arm that was bleeding uncontrollably."

"This wound was caused by the protection of Death, a wound inflicted by my wife. It bleeds whenever she's near me. That woman might..."

"Wilheim suddenly became very calm, a false calm that came from the gathering of all his anger."

"These are corpse soldiers made from my wife, who passed away fifteen years ago... There are shameless scoundrels who dare to insult the death and soul of my wife. Since that is so, I swear to my sword and to the years I spent with my wife that they will pay for this, they will!"

"Zheng—"

At the Carlsten mansion, Wilhelm's chest heaved violently. He involuntarily widened his eyes, drew his sword, and stared at the light curtain in the sky with gritted teeth.

He originally thought that the white whale had been defeated in the future, his wife could rest in peace, and his own wishes had vanished with the wind. But he never expected that the Witch Cult would be so vicious as to use his wife's corpse!

"Unforgivable...The Witch Cult!!"

Crusch and Phyllis understood Wilhelm's anger and fully supported him.

"To devote all our efforts to uniting with others to eradicate the Witch Cult and kill the White Whale is a matter of equal priority to dealing with Roswaal and Echidna. Rest assured, Lord Wilhelm."

Crusch's actions were not merely comforting; she was already taking action, mobilizing the entire nation to unite and eradicate the various messengers of the Witch Cult. She had already dispatched them to various candidates, as well as powerful nobles and members of the Sages' Council.

Wilhelm remained silent and bowed deeply to this powerful and venerable monarch.

At the same time, Reinhard and Heiner, in different places, both changed their expressions... especially Heiner, who, for some unknown reason, suddenly started crying and laughing at the same time.

The anger and distress extended far beyond the three generations of the Sword Saint family. Those who deeply understood that Wilhelm and Reinhard were two good men absolutely did not want to see them suffer.

This reluctance is second only to that of Hachiman Hikigaya among men!

"Although I have long witnessed the various shamelessness and horrors of the Witch Cult, turning other people's deceased wives into zombie soldiers and using them as weapons... the entire Witch Cult deserves to die!"

Even in all of Earth's fantasies about other worlds, the Witch Cult, with its utterly shameless and extremely vicious existence, is among the most undesirable. Even if you let your imagination run wild, it's hard to think of anyone more vicious and disgusting than the Witch Cult.

At this moment, the only ones who could laugh out loud, besides the pile of dead people in the Sanctuary Tomb, were the Bishop of Lust, Capella himself.

"To summarize."

"Having integrated all the intelligence and the current situation, Hachiman Hikigaya suppressed his anger and acted very rationally and methodically."

"The Witch Cult, which has invaded Watergate City, is known to have three Archbishops of Sin and a large number of Witch Cult members. They currently occupy the City Hall and four sluice gates, and could flood Watergate City at any time. Most of the population has taken refuge in shelters, but hundreds have already been killed by the Archbishops of Lust."

"The strongest Archbishop of Greed is currently tied down by Reinhard, the Archbishop of Lust is at the City Hall, and the Archbishop of Wrath is missing."

"Our immediate priority is to retake the city hall, announce it over the loudspeaker to give the people confidence, then recapture the four sluice gates, and then find a way to help Reinhard achieve a resounding victory."

"The Bishop of Lust, whose powers are unclear, and two corpse soldiers whose strength surpasses that of Garfield—these are the City Hall's open enemies, but we must also consider the possibility that Sylures is also within the City Hall."

"Slightly stronger than Garfield... well, let's say he's twice as strong as Wilhelm, or even stronger."

"In other words, we need to prepare quickly to confront two Archbishops of Sin and two Wilhelms. Any objections?"

"Analysis complete," Hachiman Hikigaya paused, looking around. No one raised any objections; they all agreed wholeheartedly... Only Anastasia looked astonished.

"She was the one who organized this meeting, but before we knew it, Hachiman Hikigaya had taken over the reins and turned it into a world centered around him."

Anastasia wasn't dissatisfied, and now wasn't the time to fight for power. She was just genuinely impressed by Hachiman Hikigaya's strength.

"While she was in shock, Hachiman Hikigaya told everyone what he had deduced about the complete effects of Sylures' power, and warned them that if they encountered Sylures, they should never kill him, but rather hold out for the time being."

"Treating the lives of the people as toys for amusement, causing panic throughout the city for their own selfish desires, and even trying to kidnap Emilia, they are unscrupulous, insane, and cruel. This kind of witch cult..."

"Finally, close your eyes and erase all impressions of the Gentle Organization led by Juss more than a hundred years ago that you saw in the Sanctuary."

"Hachiman Hikigaya opened his eyes, his pupils filled with raging flames, and his voice rang out."

"I'm determined to exterminate it!!"

"Extinction? He violated my right to privacy, stole my intended wife ahead of time, made him impure and no longer qualified to serve me, and brought shame upon me. Does such a shameless man really want to try to violate my right to life safety again?"

"Ah..."

"I'm telling you, even though I'm a magnanimous and flawless person, I absolutely cannot tolerate such repeated violations. If you have the guts, try it and I'll show you what despair is, Hachiman Hikigaya!"

Enraged, Regulus slaughtered his wives, whom he dared not speak out against, one by one. He looked up at the sky, confronting the future Hachiman Hikigaya.

He was about to leave; he was taking his wives with him to the capital.

Now that he knew that even the legendary strongest swordsman Reinhard couldn't do anything to him, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"The moment you arrive in this world, I will ensure your utter demise, Hachiman Hikigaya!!"

315. Four candidate camps vs. four archbishops of the highest sins

"Everyone was given twenty minutes to adjust. After the meeting, Emilia spent a long time looking after her knights before going to communicate with the micro-sprites to prepare for the upcoming battle. Hachiman Hikigaya went to see Beatrice."

"Felis and Felt are both in the headquarters of the Witch Cult's countermeasures. The reason they didn't attend the meeting is because they know they don't have the ability to participate, and it would be useless for them to attend."

"Phyllis was busy treating the wounded, while Ferut directed the soldiers to maintain order in the camp. These two people, who had no real power, were doing what they could in their respective areas."

"Aside from Al's search for Priscilla and the missing Priscilla, all available combat forces have been mobilized. It can be said that this is a do-or-die battle at the peak of our strength."

"Hachiman Hikigaya did not stop Al. Having worked with Al before, he knew Al's loyalty to Priscilla and also knew that Al actually had a very contemptuous attitude towards other people and things."

"There's not much time left..."

"Hachiman Hikigaya looked south and, even though it was far away, he could still hear intermittent rumbling sounds from afar."

"If they drag this out for too long, and Regulus loses his patience and goes berserk, he'll smash the sluice gates with his attacks. At that point, the city will be submerged, and nothing will matter anymore."

"That's why he's acting so quickly. Otherwise, he should have waited for the soldiers he sent out to find Priscilla. With Priscilla's help, the chances of success would be much higher."

"...But given Regulus and Reinhard's strength, no one can actually interfere. Even if they manage to take over the city hall, he has absolutely no idea how to help Reinhard win in the end."

"Stop looking so gloomy! Your confidence and determination just now really inspired Wilhelm and Julius, but now you're all sighing and complaining... It's making me worried."

"Dressed in Dona the Fox, Anastasia came to his side."

"The one that grants a portion of Sylures's power... can't be used now? If we had known about Capella's power beforehand, it would have been so much easier."

Frustrated, Hachiman Hikigaya ruffled her soft, fluffy purple hair to calm himself down a bit. "Don't overthink it. I don't have the kind of ability you're thinking of."

"Hmm..."

"Hachiman Hikigaya's words implied that whether it was true or not, it was definitely not true and should not be mentioned. He believed that Anastasia was intelligent enough to understand."

"Even after Anastasia comforted him like that, Hachiman Hikigaya was still sad, not only because of the current state of Minato City, but also because of Rem."

"His original plan was to get the information letter from the Bishop of Gluttony that Anastasia was waiting for, and then immediately set off for the Sage's Tower. But now that this has happened, the time to go to the Sage's Tower has been forced to be postponed, and Rem's awakening time will be even later."

"However, the more agitated he became, the more rational he became, because he knew he needed to make rational plans."

"Anastasia, when we attack the city hall, send more people to investigate Regulus's area. Any clues they find will be a pleasant surprise."

"Besides managing the camp and helping the people, this is all we can do."

"Without time for sentimentality, Anastasia hurriedly went back to her work. During this time, Garfield approached Hachiman Hikigaya, hesitant to speak, but ultimately said nothing."

"I don't know what you're struggling with, Jiafeier. If you can, I hope you can confide in me. If you can't, let's make a promise."

“An agreement?” Jiafeier was taken aback.

"That's right, it's a promise." Hachiman Hikigaya extended his hand. "You need to confide in me... You must survive this battle, you must win and survive, Garfiel. After that, your struggles, even if you don't want to talk about them, I will force you to. So, live well."

""…Um!""

"The resolute Jiafeier made a promise."

"Julius, Wilhelm, Garfield, Ricardo, the three Mimi siblings, Emilia, Crusch, and Hachiman Hikigaya, the ten fully prepared, then headed to the city hall."

"According to Hachiman Hikigaya's plan, during this period, Kiritaka will also lead the White Dragon Scales to attempt to seize the four sluice gates."

"...Can we win, Lord Hachiman?" Crusch asked quietly during the journey, looking bewildered.

"We will win, Crusch." Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at her, raised his sword, and said in a steady voice, "It's not about whether we can win, it's about us winning!"

The strong bond between the general and the strongest shield, Anastasia's reliability and strength in the face of crisis, Crusch gradually awakening and regaining some of her pre-amnesia demeanor due to Hachiman's words, Garfield's deep concern, and Wilhelm's extreme anger.

These are all things that deserve our attention and concern.

But at this moment, faced with the crucial battle for the city hall that determined the overall outcome, neither the people of the future nor those of the two worlds had time to ponder, praise, or share a common hatred for the enemy.

Everyone was captivated by the heavy atmosphere, holding their breath and immersing themselves in the impending battle.

"In the square outside the city hall, the bodies of the dead civilians and guards had vanished, leaving behind a pile of pinkish flesh."

Before anyone could investigate further, two figures jumped down from the city hall. Crusch, Julius, and Emilia all launched ranged attacks, but they were defended and dodged. The moment they met, it was clear how powerful these two were.

"—That's right!"

"Wilheim, whose emotions were in turmoil, immediately confirmed that the two corpse soldiers were indeed the former God of War, Eight Arms, and the Sword Saint, and that something even worse was about to happen."

"Hahahaha! Here it comes, it really comes~ A little threat and it takes the bait, why are all you scum so stupid, ugly and shallow? If it were me, I would have given up long ago, yahahaha!"

"The source of the woman's mocking laughter was a black dragon that flew down from the sky. 'Then, state your name—! I am the Archbishop of Lust, Lady Capella Emeralda Lugnica! Die! You rotting scum!'"

"as well as."

"It stinks so badly! I knew you'd come! And sure enough, you did! You half-demon who stole my life, and that same half-demon who stole his!"

"Syluise, the Angry Bishop, and..."

"It silenced all three worlds in an instant."

"Binge! Binge eating! Yeah, great, that's good, isn't it great? Of course it's great, well done, you're good, because you're capable, that's why you're capable, so, I'm going to start eating—"

""The head of Gluttony, the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Rai Badenkaitos. ""

"He walked out slowly from the city hall."

"Not one, not two, not three people entered Watergate City..."
