The Great Movie Emperor System (Anime Crossover)

Although there have been things that have affected the normal updates of the book over the past six months, the reasons are partly due to these events, and partly due to the habits and mood caused by frequent disconnections and interruptions in updates.

But even this book has been frequently interrupted for the past few days, which makes the author quite upset.

Actually, I really wanted to write this book seriously; those who have read my two books should understand.

The other book was updated only half-heartedly, and the royalties only dropped to less than this book last month; the initial difference was even greater.

If the only goal was to make money, the author should have abandoned this book at the beginning of the year when the performance gap became apparent. Even if not, the author should have shifted the focus of updates to another book and ended this one quickly by changing the pace.

Honestly, when it comes to writing fanfiction, especially long novels, it's common for writers to abandon their projects when they get tired of writing or when their work isn't performing well.

Those with thick skin can start a new book directly, while those with thin skin can create a new account and start a new book.

The author himself did not want to do this. Apart from the first book he practiced with, One Piece, he even wanted to continue writing the very short and unfinished novel, Heroic Spirit.

But that book... because it wasn't written in long, and because we were still exploring fan fiction at the time, it was abandoned.

Both books have reached over a million words in length. Regardless of their quality, the author has genuinely developed a deep emotional connection to them. Even though the initial passion for writing has faded, the author doesn't want to abruptly end the characters' journeys.

However, a very real problem is at hand: the impact of a book's frequent interruptions on its updates is a minor issue compared to the fact that if the interruptions happen too often, people will gradually develop a habit and start to feel that there's a reason for every interruption.

My train of thought has been delayed for several days. Even though the things I need to write are still the same, I've lost the motivation to write.

At this point, some readers may be confused about what the author is trying to say.

The author spent the whole day thinking about whether to start writing the new book sooner or finish these two books first.

After much thought, the author still doesn't want to give up on these two books, even if one day no one reads them anymore, he still wants to finish writing the ending he originally wanted to express.

However, the author also wants to adjust their writing pace by writing a new book, so they may not prepare any extra drafts and will upload the book once they reach chapter ten.

As for my energy for updates, I can only say that I'm currently updating both books consistently. I can only manage three updates a day if I'm in a really good state of mind. So before uploading the new book, I'll just upload as much as I can each day.

Finally, thank you.

Chapter 479 The alluring beauty is, in essence, a symbol of suffering (1/2)

Although Aizen was using this little girl as research material for his experiments, his fondness for these anime characters from his past life and the works he had created himself gave him a greater sense of anticipation.

In fact, compared to what Aizen gave her, Sakura Tohsaka's most valuable and promising asset is her original imaginary attribute.

Aizen saw this ability as having unlimited potential.

I wonder if, with his help, this girl's future will also be like Gudako's, tearing apart Heroic Spirits with her bare hands. "I really want to see what this world will become in the future."

Is this really the right thing to do?

A slightly somber, respectful voice rang out from the corner, and Hattori Hanzo's figure slowly materialized against the backdrop of black smoke.

Having witnessed everything that had happened in the past two days, Hattori Hanzo felt a deep connection to this… “master.”

With a more comprehensive and clearer understanding, while admiring his abilities, one cannot help but question his "theory of power."

Some expressed concern: "This child's worldview is not yet mature, and he may develop an obsession with power in the future."

"Hanzo, what you see is only what you see."

Aizen wasn't angry. Without turning his head, he shook his head and said, "You haven't truly felt the despair she experienced. Only those who have fallen into the abyss understand that the power they possess is the only rope they can use to save themselves."

What she needs right now is affection, a bond, protection, or the treatment of a princess.

"This"

Hanzo hesitated. Even with these two memories, he was just a sharp blade, not arrogant enough to think he could see through people's hearts.

Receiving no answer, Aizen simply answered his own question: "No!"

What she needs most is a sense of security!

"Warmth and protection may influence her, allowing her to grasp the last ray of light in the darkness, but that would also cause her to completely lose herself, becoming an appendage of someone or some other being."

"Once that ray of light leaves her, or abandons her, she will completely lose her reason to live."

Hattori Hanzo remained silent, seemingly pondering the meaning behind the words.

Aizen was absolutely right. After the Matou family incident, Matou Sakura's mind became twisted.

This is probably the last chance to save her and pull her out of the darkness, but for Matou Sakura, whose personality has collapsed, to rebuild her personality, she must not be given a ray of light from the outside world.

In that case, she would become the next Kimimaro, the next Haku.

Aizen enjoys analyzing and guiding people's hearts, but he dislikes having puppets under his command who have no self and live only for him.

Looking at the Espada and Kaname Tosen, none of them lived solely for him. Even Zomaire, the most fanatical character in the original work, did not live for Aizen.

Zomary believed that it was unfair for Shinigami to kill Hollows as a matter of course, while Aizen gave them fairness, so he offered his loyalty to Aizen.

He would die for Aizen, but if Aizen were to die one day, Zomary would not choose to die with him. Instead, he would do everything in his power to avenge Aizen and achieve his goals.

Absolute loyalty and living for others are not the same thing! The former means being willing to give everything for the person you are loyal to, while the latter means being unable to live without that person.

Therefore, Matou Sakura's sense of security cannot be given by the outside world. She must create this sense of security for herself and discover it within herself. This is what Matou Sakura should do.

Some might think Aizen's statement is exaggerated, since Shirou Emiya in the future also became Sakura Matou's light.

This is different! The future Matou Sakura, not to mention that she has been reshaped, has already been completely mired in the quagmire. Emiya Shirou's light is at most light shining into the abyss, unable to pull her out of the swamp, so naturally she can't be said to be living for Emiya Shirou.

At that time, Matou Sakura simply longed for the light to shine into the darkness, hoping that the light would stay and accompany her, rather than escaping the mire to chase after the light.

Hattori Hanzo, vaguely understanding what was happening, smiled nonchalantly and shook his head, saying, "I was being nosy."

"You are truly kind."

Hattori Hanzo respectfully and wholeheartedly agreed.

What would Urahara, Hirako, and Shinji's reaction be if they heard this assessment of kindness?

Aizen chuckled to himself.

However, in a sense, he was also a kind person; at least he respected life.

Aizen would never stoop to the point of needlessly taking other people's lives, but he would not hesitate or waver even if it meant taking millions of lives to achieve his goal.

Now, he firmly believes that the man in front of him is someone he should follow.

"Two days have passed, the control over the Command Seals must have weakened considerably by now."

Aizen changed the subject, leaning back in his chair and turning around.

"We've managed to get back to within about twenty meters."

Hanzo silently calculated for a moment before speaking.

"Based on the diameter, the range is only over forty meters, so there's no need to continue hiding."

After a moment's thought, Aizen instructed Hanzo, "Go and gather the others, then have Diarmuid inform Tokiomi Tohsaka."

"Yes."

Black mist surged, and Hattori Hanzo disappeared into the room, accompanied by a wisp of black smoke.

Looking at Sakura, who was still unconscious, Aizen quietly admired her purple hair. This magnificent hair, which would attract countless people in the future, was a symbol of all the pain for this girl.

He didn't go all the way to reverse this, even though reversing hair color was simpler than 99% of the experimental theories in his notebook, but sometimes hardship makes people remember things more.

He was certain that if his… adopted younger brother came to the Type-Moon world, he would most likely try to erase the despairing memories of being Matou Sakura, or use similar methods to treat her kindly.

However, Aizen saw this behavior as truly selfish and childish.

The suffering has already occurred; forgetting or sealing away the memories will not erase the traces of pain.

Since everything is already a fact, the most important thing to do is to transform it into nourishment for growth. The more despair one has experienced, the more formidable the willpower to grasp hope and strive for growth will be.

What many people perceive as kindness is actually true cruelty.

Calculating that the time was almost up, Aizen placed the brain worm and crest worm that he had taken out earlier back onto Sakura's body. Under the hypnosis of Kyoka Suigetsu, he returned to Sakura's body without harming her.

"Hi,!"

A cheerful voice rang out from the doorway, bringing Aizen back to his senses.

The person who pushed open the door was none other than the incredibly narcissistic Finn. The great hero glanced at the sleeping Sakura and lowered his voice: "Is it resolved?"

"Since everyone was summoned in advance, it's clear that everything is under control."

Finn nodded slightly and casually recounted the news on his end: "What you asked me to keep an eye on has been traced, but that... the child-abusing perverted Master is dead, so I haven't been able to pinpoint their exact location yet."

"enough."

Aizen's lips curled into a smile.

It seems that Ryunosuke Uryu was executed by Jeanne d'Arc. As for the Command Seals as supplies, he probably hasn't left the scene yet, and is most likely following Jeanne d'Arc as her henchman again.

Chapter 480 The Man Who Abandoned His Last Dignity 2/2

The death of Ryunosuke Uryu doesn't matter.

He was just an ordinary person, and among the many Masters in the Holy Grail War, he was even inferior to Waver. Don't be fooled by Waver's effeminate, incompetent, and cowardly nature; he was at least a legitimate student of the Clock Tower, the holy land of magic.

Weber could easily handle an ordinary person; the life or death of Ryunosuke Uryu was merely a matter of whether he existed or not.

Bluebeard may not have stayed; it's possible he did. If he had met the real Joan of Arc, his departure would have been under the guise of redemption.

However, given Jeanne d'Arc's biased nature, the fog of war likely prevented Bluebeard from exiting the game.

Given Joan of Arc's kind nature, she would certainly be very angry about Gilles's behavior during his lifetime, but that was only something that happened during Gilles's lifetime, and Gilles had already been punished before his death.

Giles, who had only been summoned a few days prior, must have committed some killings, but for a "dead man"...

Even if Joan of Arc forces him to leave the stage, it cannot make up for the lives of those children; at most, he can only return to Valhalla.

Since that's the case, it's better to stay and help Joan of Arc deal with the rebellious Heroic Spirits.

In a sense, Jeanne d'Arc had personally intervened in the Holy Grail War, and it was ironic that the only Master eliminated was dealt with.

"That saintess has already begun to steer the Holy Grail War in the right direction, but her actions are quite satisfying."

Finn praised him dismissively; he wasn't... the kind of rigid, inflexible person who had to follow the rules.

"Unfortunately, we are also her enemies."

Sora, who had entered the house with Matou Kariya, glared at Finn with displeasure.

She had come to terms with the illegal summoning, but having two extra Heroic Spirits as enemies was tantamount to negating the advantage of having two more Heroic Spirits.

Both are Heroic Spirits, but Jeanne d'Arc, wielding multiple Command Seals, could arguably be considered superior to the "brush + Hanzo" combination here.

The combination is more threatening.

"Ha, anyway, that French saint won't lay a hand on me."

Finn waved his hand gloatingly.

Because he was a legitimate summoner! "Alright, you've solved Sakura's problem, haven't you?"

A weak, feeble voice came from Matou Kariya, whose face was ashen.

Kariya stared intently at Aizen, fearing that the latter might suddenly utter a word of defeat to shatter his hopes.

Aizen didn't keep her in suspense and nodded straightforwardly, saying, "All the troubles have been resolved, and I've even restored her original aptitude, including her magical attributes that were damaged by the modifications."

"That"

Matou Kariya's eyes lit up, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Sakura, who was still unconscious.

Before he could continue speaking, Aizen interrupted him directly: "Now all that's left is the final step, which is to remove all the insects that will cause no further trouble."

"The old bug's true form, the brain worm, will appear soon, so I asked Diarmuid to invite Tokiomi Tohsaka to witness this final step."

"No need to wait for him!"

Kariya couldn't help but get a little emotional, "Just get Sakura out of this torment as soon as possible, there's no need to worry about that bastard at all."

"There is absolutely no risk now; it's the same sooner or later."

Aizen frowned slightly, then explained with a more serious tone, "Tohsaka Tokiomi also harbors considerable hatred for Matou Zouken. Wouldn't it be better to let him witness it firsthand and reflect on how poor his judgment was, and feel remorse?"

""

Yan Ye looked conflicted, unsure how to refute him.
