Crossover Anime: Edit everything, join the chat group

"Chuan, you..."

Yukino looked at Gu Chuan, her icy blue eyes filled with worry, "Are you going to a very dangerous place next?"

"Okay, go and take care of some finishing touches."

Gu Chuan said calmly, "But don't worry, it will all be over soon."

40 concept weapons

Inside the student council office, after calming Yukino and Fujiwara down, Gu Chuan did not leave immediately.

He reopened the system store, looked at his 200,000 Inspiration Points balance, and fell into thought.

"【Concept Editing】is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of my own resources and relies too much on the 'analysis' of the target world."

Faced with the pure, physically-based apocalypse of Saeko's world, I need a more direct and efficient means of attack.

His gaze swept quickly across the dazzling array of goods in the store.

Ultimately, his gaze settled on an ability priced at S-level.

【Product: General Ice Storm】

[Uploaded by: Ice Queen]

Price: 1500 Inspiration Points

[Note: The skill of manipulating ice and snow to create a giant ice puppet requires an extremely strong affinity for the ice element.]

"That's it."

Gu Chuan opened the chat group and directly tagged that sadistic queen.

[Observer: @IceQueen, the Ice Storm General you uploaded is only a part of your ability, right? Upload the full version; I need it as source material.]

As soon as Gu Chuan said this, the group fell silent.

Empire, on the throne.

Esdeath was stunned when she saw the message from Gu Chuan, then speechlessly rubbed her forehead.

This man even wants to buy his own core abilities. Just how many inspiration points does he have?

A strange sense of frustration and an even stronger curiosity welled up in my heart.

She was eager to see what this mysterious man intended to do with his abilities.

[Ice Queen: Since you put it that way...]

[System Notification: 'Ice Queen' has uploaded a new item: [Teigu: Demon Manifestation: Essence of the Devil] (Note: This is not the Teigu itself, but a complete data analysis), Price: 10000 Points.]

[Alicia: Oh? There's this function in the group chat? But Esdeath, you're really giving the Observer special treatment~]

[Ice Queen: I just want to see what kind of tricks he can pull off with his so-called 'modification'.]

[March 7: Modification ability?! Wait, wait, what does this mean? Is it like Lady Black Tower upgrading her artifacts? No, no, it sounds completely different! Is it like rewriting a person's abilities like a program? Wow! There are such amazing things in the universe!]

[Little Thief Cat: ...Yi Qi and Yin Ba Siyue have already been modified...with abilities?]

In the orange grove of Cocoyasi Village, Nami's breath hitched.

The word "transformation" struck her like a bolt of lightning, shattering her understanding.

In her world, there are "Devil Fruits" that grant magical powers upon consumption, and "Haki" that can only be mastered through arduous training. But these are all fixed, existing rules of the world.

If you eat the Flame-Flame Fruit, you can control flames; if you eat the Gum-Gum Fruit, you'll become a landlubber. This is common sense, an ironclad rule!

But now, this "observer" is saying it wants to "modify" a capability?

This...how is this possible? !

[Little Cat Thief: Impossible... How could this be...? A Devil Fruit's ability is unique, predetermined once eaten... How could it be 'modified'? What's the difference between this and directly creating a completely new Devil Fruit?! No... This is even more terrifying than that!]

Nami's hands trembled violently with excitement.

Creating a completely new ability? That's a power only gods can possess! If... if this power is real, does that mean she has a chance to gain the power to fight the "evil dragon" Arlong?

No more stealing, no more deception, no more bearing the despair of 100 million Berries on my frail shoulders!

An unprecedented, burning hope grew wildly in her heart, almost igniting her entire being!

The newlyweds' doubts were quickly answered.

After spending 50,000 points to purchase the complete data, Gu Chuan immediately activated his powers.

[Concept Editing & Sequence Reconstruction!]

He forcibly combined Esdeath's data, which was filled with the aura of rage and slaughter, with his own understanding of physical concepts such as "temperature," "stillness," and "form."

In his consciousness space, countless ice-blue data streams were disassembled, recombined, and optimized... Finally, a brand-new ability, exuding extreme cold and an aura of absolute dominance, slowly took shape.

[System notification: 'Observer' has uploaded a new item, [Concept Armament - Mahapadma], priced at 100000 points.]

When this new product appeared in the store, everyone was stunned by its exorbitant price and powerful description.

[Conceptual Weapon - Mahapadma]: Defines "thermodynamics" as a controllable sequence, dominates the concept of "temperature," and can instantly create an absolute zero field, freezing everything. Its derived ability, [Ice Heaven Hundred Flower Burial], can indiscriminately strike all targets within a designated range using conceptual attacks. (Note: This is an incomplete version, therefore the system price is limited to 100,000.)

[Gem Magician: 100,000 points?! Are you kidding me! But... the concept of controlling 'temperature'? This... this goes beyond heat exchange; it's a direct interference with 'reason'! Even in its unfinished version, it's a completely conceptual weapon!?]

[Little Thief Cat: I don't understand... but it seems amazing, and so expensive!]

Amidst the shock of the crowd, Gu Chuan issued his final announcement.

[Observer: I'm ready. Everyone, target: Saeko Busujima's world. Let's go.]

As the giant virtual roulette wheel began to spin, all the girls' hearts leaped into their throats.

Finally, with a crisp, pleasant "ding," the pointer came to a steady stop on the D, which represented both the "initial member" and the "tsundere" character.

The Gem Magician!

As 41 arrives, netizens are commenting on the situation.

"—Yes!!!"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly jumped up from her chair, waving her little fists excitedly, her face filled with uncontrollable elation.

The next second, she was completely enveloped in a dazzling golden light.

The light dissipated.

Rin Tohsaka finds herself standing on the rooftop of a tall building.

Beneath my feet was solid concrete, all around me was the howling night wind, and in the distance lay a city as silent as a ghost town, with a faint smell of blood and decay permeating the air.

Not far in front of her stood a boy wearing the uniform of Sooji High School.

He looked to be about the same age as me, with black hair and black eyes, and a handsome face, but his demeanor was unusually calm, as if he were not in the ruins of the apocalypse, but taking a walk in his own backyard.

Those deep eyes were calmly looking at me.

This is... the observer?

Rin Tohsaka's heart skipped a beat.

A strange feeling, a mixture of nervousness, excitement, and a little bit of embarrassment, welled up inside me.

This feeling was so much like what people in later generations called "meeting up with online friends." The other person was younger than she had imagined, and...much more handsome.

"Cough cough."

She cleared her throat, trying to mask her inner turmoil with her usual arrogance. "You are the 'Observer'? I am Rin Tohsaka, a magician as you can see."

Gu Chuan nodded, his gaze falling on her eyes, which shone like rubies, and calmly said, "Gu Chuan. Just call me Chuan."

He paused, then slowly uttered her name in a statement of fact, devoid of any emotion: "Rin."

The word "Rin" seemed to carry a strange magic as it came out of his mouth, causing Rin Tohsaka's heart to tremble and a surge of heat to rush uncontrollably from her neck to her cheeks.

"Who, who told you to call me that! Are we that close?!"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, she instantly bristled, but her reddened ears completely betrayed her true feelings. "Well... no, but since you're so sincere, I'll be magnanimous and allow you to call me that!"

This arrogant and hypocritical demeanor brought a barely perceptible smile to Gu Chuan's lips.

Rin blushed even more the moment she saw his smile, and quickly opened the chat group, trying to distract herself by showing off.

[Gem Magician: @All members, I have successfully met with the Observer! The real person is much more reliable than I imagined! (Hmph, you're all envious!)]

Zhang Yang's remarks instantly ignited the group chat.

[Alicia: Oh wow~ Rin, your heart is beating like a drum, everyone in the live stream can hear it~]

[Ice Queen: ...Starting a live stream.]

[March 7th: Live stream! Live stream! We want to see the Observer!]

[Little Thief Cat: Live Streaming +1!]

[Butterfly Dance: Please, Rin-san!]

"Start, start the live stream!" "Start the live stream!"

Seeing the chat window instantly flooded with messages, Rin Tohsaka looked at Gu Chuan somewhat helplessly: "Hey, them..."

Gu Chuan glanced at the semi-transparent live stream comments behind Rin, which only he could see, and sighed helplessly.

"understood."

On a whim, he started a live stream of the mission.

The next second, from his perspective, that handsome face with a hint of helplessness appeared clearly in front of all the group members.

The chat group fell into an eerie silence that lasted for three seconds.

Immediately, a volcanic eruption of posts flooded the screen!

[Alicia: !!! Wow—! Sir, are you a god from heaven?! Do you need followers to spread your good name?!]

[March 7th: Great, so beautiful...more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen in portraits drawn by a remembrance artist!]

[Butterfly Dance: ... (blushing)]

[Little Cat Thief: Damn it! Why wasn't I the one who got picked?!]

[Ice Queen: ...She's fairly presentable enough for my status.]

After everyone started fooling around, the system suddenly updated the mission.

【Ding! 】

[System notification: Proceed to the school and meet up with Saeko Busujima]

[Mission Objective 1: Find a stable shelter (Incomplete)]

[Mission Objective 2: Locate the "contamination source sample" that led to the secondary evolution of the [T-Ω virus] (Incomplete)]

[Mission Objective 3: Build a doomsday fortress (Incomplete)]

Seeing the newly popped-up task notification, a look of understanding flashed in Gu Chuan's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I had some personal matters to attend to."

Ignoring the commotion in the group chat, Gu Chuan said to Lin, "Stand firm."

"Huh? Stand still for what?! Ah!!!"

Before Rin could finish speaking, she felt a tremendous force coming from her waist, and she uncontrollably fell into Gu Chuan's arms.

The next second, a layer of gorgeous, shimmering thin ice instantly solidified beneath their feet into a huge, artistic floating platform.

Gu Chuan put his arm around her waist and suddenly shot into the air!

"You, you, you, you—!" Rin was so frightened by the sudden feeling of weightlessness and the close contact that her mind went blank. She could only hold onto Gu Chuan's clothes tightly, her cheeks as red as if they were about to bleed.

Like an ice-blue shooting star, they streaked across the apocalyptic night sky, flying straight toward the distant school building engulfed by the horde of zombies.

"Hold on tight, we're about to land."

While Lin was still lost in thought, Gu Chuan's voice rang in her ear.

Then, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.
