Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

696. The alarm bells keep ringing; smash them directly.

If you think about it, from Demiurge's ranch to the present day, those who are watching the future have witnessed far too many twisted and terrifying hells.

The numerous injustices, unscrupulous acts, and inhumane things are laid bare again and again, even weaving unique characteristics into this indescribable hell, sending chills down one's spine countless times.

As a result, not only did they lose their appetite, but whenever they had free time, thinking about those scenes and cries of agony would make their expressions turn pale and tremble.

Even if you've seen all eighteen levels of hell, you still can't adapt to what you can't adapt to. You can't become accustomed to everything just by seeing it a lot, or develop resistance and experience.

What was now laid out before them, this new round of Albedo's festival, which was unlike anything they had ever seen or heard of, instantly made most of them feel nauseous once again.

Both women and men felt as if they had entered a cold winter; their teeth chattered, they involuntarily clenched their teeth, and a sudden phantom pain arose in their hearts, almost causing their hearts to stop.

Unlike the livestock farm and the vampire village, Albedo's festival creates a different kind of oppressive atmosphere for everyone.

In terms of the bizarre aspects, it surpasses even Shalltear's.

"?!"

Brian nearly lost his grip on the sword, and swallowed hard in shock. "Seriously... I'd rather fight Demiurge and Shalltear at the same time than encounter this demon."

Soldier Captain Gazev deeply sympathized with the sentiments of a man, but rationally, he longed to one day be fully armed and defeat the enemy.

If no one dares to or wants to deal with something, then someone has to deal with it. In that case, let Gerald protect Brian!

"Heh, it's obvious he's in love with Ainz Ooal Gown."

On the territory of the Blue Rose, Tia sneered disdainfully, "Just because she's not pretty enough, she disfigures all the women who are prettier than her? Such a narrow-minded person is nothing to be afraid of, no matter how powerful she is."

"Doing something like this actually puts my mind at ease. No matter how powerful she is, she's just a clown. I was initially intimidated by her immense power."

Only women truly understand women, and when the logic behind Albedo's bloody and terrifying actions is clarified, the five members of the Blue Rose, whose power is far inferior to hers, can abandon their fear.

Albedo may not have felt threatened by those beautiful women, but it's certain that she didn't like seeing other women who were beautiful.

As for cutting off the men... she probably felt that, apart from Ainz Ooal Gown, whom she revered most and held the highest position, no other man was qualified to engage in mating.

"Is this kind of thinking treating Ainz Ooal Gown as a god, a madman who worships a god?" Evilue sighed.

A madman is not scary; what's scary is a madman whose strength is second only to one person and above ten thousand others.

Even outsiders could see the underlying logic, and Albedo herself, inside the Great Tomb, certainly understood it perfectly. She exclaimed with great joy, "Ah, ah, ah!"

She cried out three times, each cry more excited than the last. She was so thrilled and joyful that just seeing what she would do in the future almost made her faint. The overwhelming emotions that she could not control were like a raging storm, wave after wave crashing against her soul.

"Lord Ainz! Lord Ainz! Can you see that, Lord Ainz? My loyalty and love for you are as clear as the sun and moon, more fervent than anyone else's! More ferocious than anyone else's!"

With her arms outstretched, Albedo seemed to be in a dream, no longer feeling the weight of her body. With each word she spoke, she would spin around and dance joyfully.

Demiurge, Shalltear, and the other guardians all looked grim and cursed under their breath.

They weren't criticizing Albedo for indiscriminately killing people during her festival; they were criticizing their future selves for not thinking of this.

So much so that they had to admit that Albedo was far ahead of everyone else in terms of her fervor for Lord Ainz.

"Hmm? Uh... Ah, yes, very well done, Albedo."

Ainz Ooal Gown, who was not paying attention, was taken aback. He looked around and saw the NPCs' reactions before belatedly offering a perfunctory compliment.

He didn't even consider how loyal Albedo was to him; he only stared sharply at Zetsumei, from whom he sensed an aura very close to that of a single Guardian.

"So that's how it is. This is the ceiling of the natives, the absolute death level on par with that Platinum Dragon King... Phew, I'll have to be careful then." He pondered to himself.

Death and death are not scary; any floor guardian could defeat her, and this proved to be true. In the future, she became a puppet that Albedo had ruined.

But that power was enough to easily defeat most of the NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. If any NPC died due to negligence, Ainz Ooal Gown would be in a very bad mood.

"I wasn't eaten?"

Meanwhile, far away from the Great Tomb, Zetsumei, who had been galloping forward, stopped, squinted, looked up, and stared at his future self with considerable surprise.

Previously, Epoma commented that Kousaka Kyosuke smelled even better than her, and she subconsciously thought that she had been defeated and entered Epoma's stomach.

Now it seems that she was probably just smelled before Albedo took her away and used her as a toy and slave, to be abused at will.

“Not dead… but this is probably much more difficult than being eaten.” Zesshi Zesshi’s tone was complicated as he frowned.

She could hardly imagine what kind of torment she had to go through to become that person who had ended her own soul.

But through observing the undead leaders like Albedo, she could easily imagine the extreme punishment they would inflict on a stubborn person like herself—especially a very beautiful girl.

For example, after defeating her, tie her up, and take her to the outside of the theocracy, then watch helplessly as the theocracy is razed to the ground and filled with suffering, only able to tremble with rage.

For example, they might tie her up, feed her excrement and urine, then disfigure her, strip her naked, and parade her through the streets... She believed that these undead were absolutely capable of doing such things.

The undead race, including Albedo, have always been capable of far more viciousness and cruelty than any human can imagine.

"Even I shudder just thinking about what I've been through."

Covering his face with one hand, Zetsumei took a deep breath, his voice trembling with unease. "This has served as a wake-up call for me... I really should thank you properly when we meet again, Kyosuke Kousaka."

697. The uses of "Absolute Death" and "Desperate Death," NPC segmentation.

Compared to the astonished crowd in Evilia's world, the people on Chiju's Earth were much more knowledgeable and worldly-wise.

Although they were equally furious and wanted to tear Albedo to pieces, in their anger, they couldn't help but think of a certain talented but immoral man.

That's right, it's the same Kiyotaka Ayanokouji who once suffered at the hands of Kiyotaka and later turned into a dragon slayer to torment the swordsman.

“If Ayanokouji… no, that would be too insulting to him. I should say First Princess. If the First Princess met Albedo, they might have a lot in common.”

At the Nakano residence, Uesugi Fuutarou, who was never one to get angry, connected the two incidents. Similarly, he had already anticipated the fate of these two scoundrels, saying with a hint of anticipation:

"I really hope Albedo's fate will be even worse than the First Princess's."

"I second that." The five Nakano sisters all raised their hands in agreement, they were all very annoyed.

These girls, who were still unmarried and had never been in love, were caught off guard by Albedo's perverse sense of humor and witnessed some things. Although they immediately looked away, they were still furious.

"Sigh, if only Ayanokouji-senpai could have traveled back in time too."

At the same time, on the street, the beautiful and kind-hearted Ayase felt a great pang of regret. She thought that her brother was ultimately too weak and alone, and not ruthless enough.

Even she, when faced with these inhuman beings, the undead from the Magic Kingdom, hoped to see someone vicious enough to kill and torture them, using the tortures they had created on them exactly as they were.

If we're talking about who has the most ability and personality to do this, then without a doubt, it's Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who already has experience with it.

The black cat glanced at Ayase and shook its head in denial, "That's not necessarily true."

Ayase is too naive, but she knows that she overheard someone discussing Ayanokouji Kiyotaka when she was out before. The person was very insightful and analyzed the situation very deeply. Thanks to this, she also understands Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's character very well.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka killed the First Princess because she was useless and a waste. However, the undead leaders of the Magic Kingdom are all so powerful, so they must be very valuable. Ayanokouji might keep them and take them as his subordinates.

In this situation, it would be better for Hachiman Hikari and Miyuki Shirogane to appear.

"However..." The black cat smiled bitterly after thinking for a moment.

What's the point of thinking about this? Do you really think those two can get there? There's no precedent for it, it's simply impossible.

Infected by the black cat's sigh, Kirino and the other three looked at each other and all became dejected.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, a talented but immoral creature that is only remembered at times like these, is still enjoying a good beating of the great demons. He has clearly evolved to the peak of his complete form and can now fight against Bai Xin Shangren and even win.

Defeating ten powerful demons is not as beneficial as defeating one Venerable Bai Xin. Ordinary powerful demons are simply not worth the effort and strength.

With Miss Tsubaki nestled in his arms, Miyuki Shirogane wasn't entirely indulging in her gentle embrace. Amidst the flirting, kisses, and caresses, he also imparted his listening spells.

Instead of possessing powerful spiritual energy but lacking various skills, it is like a silver spear and a candlestick.

Hachiman Hikigaya, ever since the Evil Love world began airing, has been watching videos, chatting with Rem, handling various matters and documents flawlessly, and thinking about how to maximize the effectiveness of his various powers.

Now that the documents have been processed and he's finally free from the grind of being a corporate slave, he didn't slack off; instead, he unusually took the initiative to work overtime and created a folder.

Inside the folder were documents he had pre-planned on how to use inhuman torture to treat the undead of the Magic Kingdom after the world was merged.

"Evilue looked away the moment the undead maid's scimitar came down. She could guess what was going on and saw Kousaka Kyosuke's clenched fists and indignant expression."

"Unfortunately, she was completely clueless about how to be a woman and didn't know how to comfort him in this situation. So she just held Kousaka Kyosuke's fists with her two small hands and clumsily stroked them gently."

"Attempting to soothe his emotions in this way."

"It's not that it was ineffective... it's just that the effect was not great, because Albedo's subsequent series of actions kept Kousaka Kyosuke from calming down."

"His eyes widened in fury as he watched from afar as Albedo kicked the mangled Zetsumei, who had been turned into a human pig, flying it with pinpoint accuracy onto an altar, causing Zetsumei to cough up blood."

"Then, led by two undead maids, the creatures, divided into two distinct groups of men and women, endured the pain and completed their procession, walking through the inner and outer circles of the royal capital, before being led to the foot of the altar."

Albedo stood proudly on the altar, repeating her words once more, brainwashing these creatures about how fortunate and glorious they were.

"To die as a sacrifice in the ceremony dedicated to Lord Ainz, heh, what an honor that other pigs could only dream of."

She said this with a smile.

"Having understood the subtext, the creatures, who had been extremely cooperative from beginning to end, were suddenly terrified. However, even so, after twenty years of domestication, most of them, even knowing that they were about to be killed, did not dare to react at all."

"Only a handful of people, three or five at a time, shed large tears, cried out, and begged Albedo to spare their lives."

Albedo's face quickly turned ashen and gloomy. With a wave of her hand, she ordered two maids to take these three or five disobedient pigs away and imprison them, so she could deal with them properly later.

"Then, using a bronze pillar on the altar as a fixed point, Albedo tied the doll-like Zetsu Zetsumei to the bronze pillar, and then ordered the creatures to gather around and lean against the bronze pillar."

"Scratching!"

"The flames soared into the sky, and in the flames, all the creatures other than the lizardmen could no longer hold back and screamed in agony—even at this point, they only dared to scream and dared not curse Albedo."

"After the flames crackled and burned, only a pile of charred corpses remained on the altar."

"Ah~ what a wonderful festival! Can you feel it? My loyalty and love for you, Lord Ainz!"

Albedo turned towards the Great Tomb and bowed in a distant gesture of respect.

"With that, the ceremony was over. She waved her hand, and the Death Knight immediately dragged away the charred corpses to feed the other undead, leaving only the corpses of the One-Dead."

Albedo cast a resurrection spell, bringing Zetsumei back to life. She smiled and gently patted Zetsumei's head as if petting a puppy.

"Dying isn't that easy, hehe. I need to keep you alive so I can annoy that bitch Shalltear. You'd better live well, or die a horrible death~"

"She chuckled and led the Deathly Despair away from the capital."

"Albedo, I'm going to kill you!"
