Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

This is easy to understand, and everyone nodded.

The new NPCs, let's not even talk about them. They're probably not responsible for going out normally, only for guarding the interior, so they weren't brought out as originally planned for the next thirty years.

But this time, Ainz Ooal Gown has already suffered a great loss, so it's a normal and expected decision for him to send out all NPCs as a last resort.

“Wait a minute,” Brian said, puzzled, “how do you know so much detail, even their names and identities?”

“This is the [Blessing of Lip Reading],” Reinhardt explained succinctly. Through this blessing, one could read lips. Having answered Brian's question, he continued:

"In addition, a dragon that doesn't look like a dragon at all is also lurking around the Great Tomb. It calls itself the Coffin Dragon King and has formed an alliance with the Great Tomb to fight against us."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

"Why?" Zesshi Zetsumei tilted his head. "In the future, wasn't he killed by Ainz Ooal Gown? Shouldn't he be on the same side as us?"

"Because the hatred between the Dragon King of the Decaying Coffin and our side is even more irreconcilable than that between the Great Tomb."

Reinhard paused for a moment, sighed softly, and said with reluctance, "...According to the Coffin Dragon King's own account, it has experimented with Primal Magic all over the world over the centuries, and the upheaval in Miss Evilue's hometown... was caused by it."

Upon hearing this, the room fell into a sudden silence.

Apart from Red and the blue lightning, everyone's eyes were fixed on Evilue, watching her first freeze, then shed tears, clench her fists, and tremble.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kyosuke Kousaka stepped forward, grasped Evilue's fists with both hands, bent down slightly, and pressed his forehead against hers, gently, but with unwavering determination and absolute certainty.

“We will get our revenge, Ibiruai,” he said. “I still owe you a promise. This time, I will definitely bring back your homeland and your family.”

742. Poor thing, a misunderstanding that led to certain death.

In the original future, Ainz Ooal Gown led the NPCs to kill the Coffin Dragon King for profit and a sense of security; but now, with the Great Tomb of Nazarick in dire straits, it is impossible for them to be distracted by plotting against the Dragon Kings.

Therefore, the Dragon King of the Decaying Coffin and the Great Tomb can reconcile.

However, on the side of the Living Alliance, the leader, Kyosuke Kousaka, doted on Evilue the most, and Evilue, because of the irreconcilable hatred of its homeland, could never reconcile with the Coffin Dragon King.

Even if Evilai were willing to reconcile, people like Kyosuke Kousaka, the Slane Theocracy, and Miyuki Shirogane, Ayanokoji Hikigaya, are all good and lawful forces no matter how you look at it.

It is impossible to forgive the actions of the Corrupted Coffin Dragon King.

After weighing the pros and cons, temporarily joining forces with the Great Tomb of Nazarick to fight against Kyosuke Kousaka's side is a very reasonable decision.

Of course, it's impossible for a being like the Coffin Dragon King to truly reconcile with the Great Tomb of Nazarick... It's only doing this temporarily to survive, and once it defeats Kousaka Kyosuke and his group, it will inevitably fight the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"In conclusion, I think it's not just the Coffin Dragon King who might join forces with the Great Tomb; the Dragon Emperor is also very likely to do so, because we will definitely annihilate the Dragon Emperor as well. Its only chance of survival is to be bound to the Great Tomb."

As Hachiman Hikigaya finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at a giant dragon coiled nearby. It was the strongest being in the Council of Nations, the Platinum Dragon King, who stood on the side of order.

The Platinum Dragon King was unwilling for the world to be occupied by the undead, so he rushed over to contribute to the battle against the Great Tomb of Nazarick, thereby preserving the status and rights of the dragon race.

In other words, not only did the Great Tomb gain more assistants, but they also received new help on their side.

Although this assistance is optional and not very important, since we already have enough manpower.

"Now that I've come all this way, then Dragon Emperor and Coffin Dragon King, have some fun with me. It's been a long time since I've had such a good time." The first Sword Saint, Red, clapped his hands, like a mischievous child, and arbitrarily decided on his opponents.

But no one objected.

Everyone present could feel the sword energy he unleashed after getting excited, an energy powerful enough to pierce the sky. That aura alone made the Platinum Dragon King terrified, as if his head was about to be cut off.

This is not an illusion.

In fact, four hundred years ago in the world of Emilia, dragons were a common sight in many places, and their numbers were extremely large. The reason they later disappeared was due to the culprit Red.

Out of interest, he single-handedly wiped out 99% of the dragons in the world of Emilia.

If the Dragon Emperor was the dictator and strongest ruler of the Evilue world hundreds of years ago, then Red was the dictator and strongest ruler of the Emilia world hundreds of years ago.

Coincidentally, the two sides have completely opposite positions and actions.

This is a wondrous battle that you absolutely must experience.

The rest of the people can act more flexibly. In any case, some of them will fight the floor guardians, while others will break into the Great Tomb and destroy the base.

There's only one thing that's certain, just like with Red: Ainz Ooal Gown's opponent remains Kyosuke Kousaka.

After merging with the Red Sphere, Kyosuke Kousaka discovered that some wishes are permanent. For example, after regaining the Red Sphere, it automatically consumed some of its energy, restoring his god-like magical talent.

Having already gone through it once, there were no obstacles this time. Within half a day, his magic power and magical realm had surged back to the tenth level.

"This time, we don't need to use the energy of making a wish."

As Reinhard spoke, he solemnly handed over the Dragon Sword, "With this, you can defeat Ainz Ooal Gown, Kousaka-kun, without needing the Red Ball for extra enhancement."

This was not his own decision, but one that had been made with the consent of his ancestor Red and discussed with Hachiman.

"This..." Kousaka Kyosuke was taken aback, quite surprised, and unsure whether he should accept the offer.

"Take it," Shirogane Miyuki advised. "Isn't that fair?"

Yes, that's the only fair way.

After all, did Ainz Ooal Gown really rely on himself? Many of his world items and artifacts were left to him by his guild members after they quit the game.

In other words, Ainz Ooal Gown didn't rely solely on himself; he fought with the help of a large group of friends. Most of his NPCs were also left to him by guild members.

In that case, the fact that these outsiders, friends like Hikigaya, Ayanokoji, and Shirogane Miyuki came across the world to help Kousaka Kyosuke, including Reinhard lending the Dragon Sword, was not actually a move that the enemy had no other choice but to make.

On the contrary, only when Kyosuke Kousaka accepted the Dragon Sword could his battle with Ainz Ooal Gown be considered fair and just.

Does that mean Ainz Ooal Gown is allowed to have friends and support, but our Kyosuke Kousaka is not?

"...Thank you, thank you everyone."

After a moment of silence, Kyosuke Kosaka accepted the Dragon Sword with slightly reddened eyes, unable to hide his deep emotion.

Hachiman Hikigaya and the others patted him on the shoulder, their words conveying everything, and then they all got up and began preparing to depart.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zetsumei sidled over with a smile, reached out, and wiped away a few drops of tears from her Kyosuke.

"Um, I..." Kousaka Kyosuke grabbed her wrist, but then realized it was inappropriate and immediately let go.

The stunningly beautiful girl tilted her head and instead offered her wrist back to his palm, saying with a smile, "You can tell me anything, Kyosuke."

"No, I just..."

Kousaka Kyosuke seemed a little uneasy. After hesitating for a while, he finally shook his head and said in a low voice, "After the battle, let's meet privately, and I'll tell you then."

Upon hearing this, Zesshi Zesshi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became very happy, letting out a long, coquettish "Mmm~".

From the moment she arrived until now, she had been treating Evilue as a child. Seemingly out of some pity or sense of compensation, she turned around and helped Evilue up.

Unable to decipher her emotional shift, Kousaka Kyosuke took a deep breath, one hand holding the Dragon Sword, ready to set off on his mission.

He originally wanted to sever ties with Zesshi Zesshimei as soon as possible, but considering that this might distract the other party during the battle, he decided to wait until after the fight to talk about it, at which point there would be no risk.

"Farewell, my esteemed saviors!!"

When Kyosuke Kousaka and his group set off, the entire capital city was filled with shouts of encouragement. As the news spread from the capital city to the whole world through magic, the shouts and cheers grew louder and louder.

This is the final battle that will truly determine the future of the world.

743. Dragon Sword, unsheathed!

As expected, everyone saw two giant dragons coiled around the great tomb from afar, namely the Coffin Dragon King and the Dragon Emperor.

"Don't come any closer!"

Looking at the vast and imposing force of Kousaka Kyosuke and his men rushing towards them, Ainz Ooal Gown felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He nervously threatened, "The walking corpses below have all been cursed by me. If I or any of my subordinates die, they will die too!"

"We haven't done anything yet, Kyosuke Kosaka. We can reconcile and negotiate! I can even become your vassal state, promise not to do such things again, and offer some compensation!"

"Don't come any closer, or we'll all go down together. Your plan has been exposed. The Saint-Slaying Spear will absolutely not be used on Kousaka Kyosuke this time. Death at last, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, aren't you people afraid of death?"

Under the threat of death, Ainz Ooal Gown offered very generous terms.

But it was no use. Those who could come here valued spiritual matters more than physical benefits. Even if they could sign a contract to take over the entire Great Tomb, they would not let go of these disgusting undead.

"You forced me to this!"

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer without uttering a word, clearly showing no intention of compromise, Ainz Ooal Gown had no choice but to accept this fact. Gritting his teeth, he immediately used the Delete Gun.

His target was none other than Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Meanwhile, Demiurge and the other floor guardians also used ordinary world items with effects similar to the Saint-Slaying Spear, targeting different people, but notably not Kousaka Kyosuke.

Under this offensive, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Shirogane Miyuki, Shirogane Ryuou, Aoiro Raikage, Zetsu Shitsumei, Hakushin Shonin, and Kikyo are all in danger of dying.

"Heh heh, we've already fallen into this pit once, do you think we'd fall into it a second time? Under Lord Ainz's leadership, the winner will surely be our Great Tomb! You're too arrogant, Kousaka Kyosuke! Hahahaha!"

Demiurge pushed up his glasses and laughed heartily, eager to witness the moment when Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and the others died.

however…

"Arrogant?" Hachiman Hikigaya raised his hands slightly, activating his Feigned Power. "You are the truly foolish ones, Ainz Ooal Gown."

Since he dared to showcase his strategy knowing that he would be broadcast live in the future, how could he not have a countermeasure?

The illusionary witch Pandora initially misled Jus, causing his attack to hit Fortuna.

This effect is not present in Hachiman, because he values ​​authenticity, meaning that an attack can only be redirected under the precondition of genuine, voluntary will.

Kyosuke Kosaka was one of their own, and he knew that he was the only one who could use the "delete account" type of attack without taking damage. Of course, he was duty-bound to sacrifice himself to the tiger.

With mutual consent, without any concealment or falsehood, and with the prerequisites met, the power's effect is activated.

Just moments before the Great Tomb of Nazarick's all-out attack of the deletion guns was about to hit Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and the others, the attacks suddenly changed direction and, with a whoosh, all struck Kousaka Kyosuke.

Just like the last battle.

"H-How is this possible!?" Ainz Ooal Gown, Albedo, and the other NPCs could hardly believe their eyes. "World Items shouldn't be interfered with! Damn it, did the Red Orb grant a wish?"

Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head.

Indeed, power cannot interfere with world artifacts. But he doesn't need to interfere with world artifacts; he only interferes with hitting the target.

"Roar!"

Seeing that their first wave of attacks had been ineffective, the Coffin Dragon King and the Dragon Emperor could no longer hold back. They roared and took the lead in fighting back.

Then, the excited Reid struck each of them with the blade of his sword, sending them flying with a bang and crashing into the distant mountains.

As the battle began, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately cleaved through space to protect Evilai's hometown below, lest the zombies inside be obliterated by the aftershocks.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji entered that area and was unable to join the group.
