Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"On the surface, the city is perfectly fine. It is still controlled by nobles and the city lord. It belongs to the kingdom and obeys the king and the second princess. The merchants who come and go never notice anything unusual."

"And this has led to many people being indignant and finding it unbearable."

"They just don't understand. This has already wiped out the kingdom's well-equipped elite army, killed the nobles, controlled the city lord, and forced the city's residents to join and testify."

"Why does everyone have to scramble out of the city and hide in nearby towns and villages? This isn't right! Damn it, are these so-called emperors of the land really so spineless and cowardly?"

"This is so annoying!"

"...These grievances are widespread. Kiyotaka Ayanokoji never expected that these people from the lower classes of the Middle Ages could have any long-term vision or understand the deeper meaning behind his plans."

"He wasn't going to open up and explain things clearly; his response was very simple and blunt."

"You bunch of useless dogs, you can't even stand up straight. You eat so much of my food every day, yet you have no strength to even lift a weapon. What can such disgraceful things do? What honor can you win? You're utterly laughable!"

"I absolutely cannot afford to lose face like that! Am I supposed to tell the whole world that my Earth Emperor's subordinates are such useless sissies? This time, I'll make it clear from the ground up: if you're not qualified, don't even think about war, you worthless trash!"

"His subordinates were displeased, which made Ayanokoji Kiyotaka even angrier. In his angry outbursts, he easily overwhelmed all those who were not loyal enough."

"And when he finishes playing the bad cop, someone else has to take over playing the good cop."

"After Ayanokouji Kiyotaka finished cursing, he left. Then, the very next day, with just a casual hint, one of the five or six die-hards who had their eyes gouged out but had been healed and recovered immediately understood and went off on his own to spread some 'fallacies'."

"This loyal follower was someone Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had been keeping hidden all along. Unlike the other five, who had long been entrusted with important tasks and were famous, this loyal follower was unknown and nobody knew him."

"Do you think the Emperor's intentions are just superficial? Do you think the Emperor only values ​​combat power? You bunch of idiots are utterly stupid, no wonder you're called dogs!"

"Whoa—Eek!! Kid, what did you say? Did you fart or something?"

"One of the hot-tempered subordinates stepped forward, a tall and burly man, furious. He grabbed one of the loyal followers by the collar and said, 'No matter how the Emperor insults us, we have to endure it, because the Emperor is invincible, and the Emperor possesses such power!'"

"But you, you shameless creature, what right do you have to lecture others like an emperor? You're courting death, kid! Today I'll make sure even your shit can't protect itself!"

"The loyalist sneered, 'Ha, what right do I have? It's because I understand the Earth Emperor's will better than you!'"

The thousand loyal subordinates surrounding him were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, their laughter full of sarcasm, "Ha, ha ha ha ha!"

"Alright, alright, since you're so confident, I'll give you the chance. Kid, if you can't give me a straight answer, don't blame me for reporting you to the Emperor."

"They're no longer in a hurry to beat up the loyalists, because they have a legitimate reason to hand this guy over to the Emperor."

"Compared to simply killing him, falling into the hands of the Earth Emperor would be worse than death for him. It would be the most unbearable and the most satisfying thing to do."

The loyalist declared loudly, "If the Emperor didn't have the ambition to conquer all, if the Emperor didn't have the goal of unifying the world, how could the Emperor regard the kingdom as nothing? The Emperor would not have retreated, would not have compromised, would not have been afraid!"

"If that's the case, why would the Emperor issue such an order? Shouldn't they have marched all the way to the capital in one fell swoop?" someone retorted.

"Hey, the Emperor is invincible, but what about you?" The loyalist looked around, his eyes full of contempt. "Compared to the kingdom's most elite army, what chance do you bunch of filthy bastards have? You're not going to die anyway."

"We may not be able to, but the Emperor is invincible!"

Hearing these former bandits speak like this, the loyalist glared at them fiercely, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Then what did the Emperor want from you? You had to do everything yourselves. What did the Emperor do with the positions, power, and money he gave you?"

"That's right, the Earth Emperor can sweep away everything, the Earth Emperor can do everything... But if the Emperor takes on everything, how can you, without any merit, be qualified to receive the Emperor's rewards?"

"You mean..." the leader realized, "The Emperor thinks highly of us and wants to promote us, but we're not powerful enough. So, for our sake, the Emperor issued this order to hide us for a while to give us time to train."

"In this way, we will have the strength to defeat the kingdom's most elite troops, which will please the Emperor and live up to his expectations!"

"The matter could have been resolved immediately, yet the emperor stopped for the sake of these worthless scoundrels. Is the emperor really that gentle?"

The die-hards raised their heads arrogantly, sneering dismissively, and refused to answer.

"But the answer has already come to light. The thousands of subordinates looked at each other and, following this logic, began to think that the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this might really be the case."

"But not only did they fail to grasp the profound meaning of the Earth Emperor, they even dared to harbor the slightest doubts?"

"Caw—the Earth Emperor is so gentle! We're just damn stupid, stinking things, we have no right to follow the Emperor!"

"The person who questioned the loyalist just now yelled, drew his knife, and stabbed himself in the stomach, committing suicide. And no one will know that this was orchestrated by Kiyotaka Ayanokoji."

"These hundreds of subordinates only knew that they were once again deeply shocked and utterly subdued by the Earth Emperor, which further strengthened the Earth Emperor's majesty, prestige, and power!"

"They untied the loyalists, and no one dared to disrespect them. They supported the loyalists and went together to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's throne, where they all knelt down and begged for forgiveness."

"Ayanokoji Kiyotaka didn't even ask why they were apologizing, he just nodded, further cultivating the image of an emperor of the land."

"He was just like he was with the Ice Wolf Clan, ambiguous, neither admitting nor saying that he was acting in their best interests, nor saying that he wasn't, he just kept quiet about it."

"These subordinates, numbering over a thousand, were then lured by unwavering loyalty, and became devoted to training diligently, growing more and more disciplined and stronger."

467. The Rebellion of Emperor Shijo

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's manipulation of people's hearts and the methods employed by his subordinates are truly astonishing.

The larger a power grows, the more complex and difficult to control people's hearts become, just like a snowball rolling downhill, impossible to stop.

However, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka still used his unique methods of governing the country to put his newly established strongman politics into practice. By combining various foreshadowing and coordination, he easily pulled back from the brink and put all his thousands of subordinates in shackles.

This highly effective strategy had such a stunning effect that it was truly astonishing.

While Hachiman Hikigaya's methods of winning people over are certainly not bad, he has his bottom line and principles, so he would never come up with a plan like Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's, and naturally he would not achieve that level of effect.

"what……"

Staring blankly at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, even people like the Shirogane siblings and the Kousaka siblings couldn't help but feel a surge of longing and yearning in that instant.

Every man, perhaps even every single one, has thought at least once in his life that he wants to be the strongest person in the world.

And now, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is the embodiment of those fantasies. He is domineering, powerful, strong, and absolute, inspiring admiration and awe. He is the embodiment of all these adjectives.

By draping the exterior of his greatest masterpiece in the skin of an emperor of the earth, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji became that kind of being.

While Hachiman Hikigaya's sincere approach to life is admirable and enviable, his actions are always hesitant and frustrating, requiring others to think and observe carefully before they can understand him.

However, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji did not need to.

One glance is enough to make everything clear... This is violence, power, wealth, a combination of strength and status. This is the existence that satisfies everything engraved in human genes, naturally attracting anyone to admire and get close to it.

Even if such a great emperor of the land is capricious and willful, who could resist the urge to experience such a feeling? Who could remain unmoved by him? Who could deny the yearning that arises from it?

To become the emperor of the earth, one must learn from him and get closer to him... Such power, so pure, governs everything because of its pure strength, and within that strength lies a precious gentleness. How could this not give one a tremendous sense of security?

Even if they were to be killed by the capricious emperor, as long as they stayed by his side, became his subordinates, offered their loyalty to him, and considered themselves to have received the emperor's warmth and gentle treatment, what else could give them such a surging sense of security and such admiration that they would die without regret?

—That's not possible.

There is absolutely no other person, thing, or place that can give that!

Since humans are foolish creatures and always need a leader, why not choose the Earth Emperor? ...No, not choose, but be chosen by the Earth Emperor!

In order to catch the emperor's eye, one must dedicate oneself to unwavering loyalty for all eternity, a loyalty that is unmatched by anyone!

"Loyalty, loyalty... Heh, heh heh, hee hee hee hee, good! Good! Diligence! Loyalty! Love!"

Unrestrainedly expressing his emotions, Ayanokouji's father laughed heartily, "Finally, you've stopped being lazy! How alluring, how diligent, how satisfying you are when you're giving it your all! Kiyotaka, your greatest masterpiece, my greatest masterpiece! I knew I had never misjudged you!"

What do you mean by a failed plan? His masterpiece, when he gets serious, could easily make him the Prime Minister of Japan!

His fervor sent shivers down the spines of researchers in their white coats.

"Is this... is this truly the greatest masterpiece?"

Speechless, even through the video, countless people were stunned by the emperor-like figure portrayed by Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. Their hearts were pounding and their blood was rushing.

Who remembers any of that dead gay guy... Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's strength is already evident to all, so strong that it is beyond compare, so strong that it has reached the pinnacle. When he is so strong that there is no doubt about it, so strong that he stands in the heavens, out of respect and awe for the strong, very few people will dare to make sarcastic remarks anymore!

As someone who was once the undisputed number one in Japan's exams, Shijo Tei had gathered various materials on the masterpiece during the video's broadcast. In the end, he concluded that if Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were to show his true abilities, Shijo Tei would have no chance of being number one in Japan's exams.

Now, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is showing him the truth: he is not only inferior in academics and strength, but also far outmatched, brutally defeated, and utterly crushed in terms of intelligence. In this respect, he is even further behind than in the other two areas.

At least in terms of academics and physical strength, he can barely keep up, only falling behind a little. But in terms of cunning and strategy, he can't even see Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's backside.

He, Shijou-tei, could never rival Ayanokoji Kiyotaka!

"I've lost, I've lost convincingly. With such skill, with such a masterpiece, how could I not lose? Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, perhaps you don't care, but I'm going to announce it to everyone: I will no longer steal your title of Japan's best—I refuse to be a thief!!"

But he was unwilling, he was just unwilling, he could never like, could never like, this earth emperor who made him a thief.

"Shinomiya is no good, Shirogane is no good, Dragon Ball Momo is no good, all these ordinary geniuses are no good... In the end, it really is only Hikigaya Hachiman."

…Leaving aside the powers and swordsmanship acquired after the transmigration, as well as the talent of the Healing Warrior.

In terms of learning ability, Hachiman Hikigaya could never compare to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

In terms of sheer strength, Hachiman Hikigaya could not possibly withstand three punches from Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

In terms of meticulous thinking, unique ideas, and strategies hidden deep within his heart, Hachiman Hikigaya is not inferior to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. If he so desires, he can also accomplish many incredible things.

When it comes to judging people, Hachiman Hikigaya absolutely crushes Kiyotaka Ayanokoji... One has never misjudged anyone so far, while the other seems to have chosen Suzune Horikita as if he were blind.

With one draw, one win, and two losses, Hachiman Hikigaya is at a slight disadvantage, but he definitely has a good chance of winning!

"Anyone can challenge me, but since I have already lost, I sincerely hope that you will win, Hachiman Hikigaya. At least you won't inadvertently trample on my dignity and me as a person without my knowledge."

"You made me a thief, made me smug, made me possess things that weren't mine and think I was right... You trampled on my self-respect like this, so I must support Hachiman Hikigaya and defeat you, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji!!"

468. The First Princess: My cousin Qinglong is so handsome!

Can this effect be achieved by sending a loyal follower to spread rumors of "the emperor's gentleness"?

Of course it's impossible. No matter how powerful or attractive Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is, this one move alone could not possibly have such a terrifying effect.

This result was due to the various situations he had intentionally accumulated beforehand, and to his comprehensive planning, which involved thinking ten steps ahead for every one step he took.

In any case, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's strategic prowess has reached a level that is no longer one of "no one dares to underestimate him and thinks he's pretty amazing." Everyone has updated their evaluation of him and elevated him to the highest level.

"Looking at the three worlds of Earth, Emilia, and Kyal, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's scheming and strategy are top-notch. Although there are people who can rival him, they are extremely rare."

Regardless of whether one likes or dislikes Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, no one can deny his talent.

A strong person, regardless of their nature, will always have a large number of mindless fans, worshippers, and supporters. History has already proven this. The Archbishop of Sin and Pandora were not without admirers, but their numbers were pitifully small.

But Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was far from pitiful. When he displayed his charisma and abilities, he immediately gained a large following. Even though these people were just casual believers and could not reach the level of the subordinates in the video, their numbers definitely exceeded several thousand or tens of thousands, and were still rapidly increasing.

This isn't just because of men's admiration for the strong... In fact, if Kiyotaka Ayanokoji were the first to play the video, admiration for the strong would certainly have played a significant role.

However, with Hachiman Hikigaya as a prime example, no matter how much he fusses over his words, his strength is not significantly inferior to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. Since there is already a first one, the second one will naturally have a reduced effect.
