Anime Crossover: I Was Chosen by a Goddess and Became the Demon King

Just as Yukino was about to speak, she heard Hakutetsu sigh: "It seems I was overthinking things. I thought His Majesty the 'World King' had deliberately sent me to you."

Bai Zhe's undisguised self-talk, without any attempt to hide it from others, made Yukinoshita Haruno somewhat puzzled.

The word 'Your Majesty' is generally used to refer to the highest-ranking clergy, such as the Pope in the Vatican.

Could this man in front of me be related to the pope who leads billions of believers? But judging from his demeanor and temperament, he doesn't seem like a clergyman.

Yukino's doubts came quickly and went just as fast, because the very next second, as she began to speculate about Hakutetsu's origins, she heard Hakutetsu say:

"After all this talk, we haven't really introduced ourselves, have we? Since it was Your Majesty who sent me here, and you are the one who brought me back, then it means we are destined to meet."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Bai Zhe. I don't need to go into my past experiences. Now I am a god-slaying demon king who has usurped the power of the gods."

Listening to Bai Zhe's self-introduction, Yukino Yukino looked at the black-haired man sitting cross-legged in front of her, one hand supporting his chin as he looked at her, and immediately wondered if he was suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

She had initially been somewhat interested in the boy who had miraculously survived, but now she just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.

After all, as the heir to the Yukinoshita family, she was still very busy.

Just as she was about to say something, the temperature in the room suddenly rose.

Even though it's only early summer, Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if she were in a furnace.

In just a short while, I started sweating.

Then, she saw black flames spontaneously combust on the other person's other outstretched palm!

"!!!"

Upon seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened in disbelief, her beautiful eyes fixed on the swaying black flame in Shiratsu's hand.

The worldview that had been built up over nearly twenty years since its inception was forcibly shattered at this moment by the man in front of him.

In her understanding, flames are a physical phenomenon that requires conditions such as combustibles to appear, but the other party clearly had nothing to burn.

And most importantly, that black flame was actually floating on the other person's palm!

Startled, Yukino exclaimed in surprise, "Superpowers?!"

"You're one of those superpowered characters from fantasy novels, no, no, no, could it be that... what you're saying is all true?"

Faced with Yukinoshita Haruno's worldview being shattered, and her momentarily unable to react, Shiratsu gently tossed his outstretched palm, and the flame in his hand quickly flew out, landing on the lawn outside the house, and then instantly covering the lawn in front of the door and climbing up the wall.

At that moment, Yukino looked in the direction the flames had flown out.

In the blink of an eye, the entire garden, spanning over seventy square meters, including all its flowers, plants, and stone slabs...

Even the walls were burned to ashes in an instant, leaving only the crystal-clear glass on the ground, shimmering with colors that did not belong to this world.

Upon seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno swallowed hard, a bead of cold sweat appearing on her forehead, and a sense of panic began to creep into her heart.

Faced with such a supernatural event, Yukino Haruno, with her wisdom, would have chosen to stay away immediately, but unfortunately, the other party was right next to her at that moment, only a step away.

So even if you're terrified, you can't escape; you can only brace yourself and face it head-on.

So, your name?

The words came out of Bai Zhe's mouth again.

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had always presented herself as a caring older sister because of her youthful appearance, felt insignificant in the face of this power that transcended human comprehension.

(P.S.: The humble author would like to clarify here that although the protagonist's power-up is relatively small and the early power increase may not be too significant, this book is a semi-invincible novel. Before the protagonist reaches three digits, no two-digit characters other than Kurima will appear.)

Chapter Seven Bai Zhe: "Where's your father?" (Seeking flowers, favorites, and monthly tickets)

Faced with Bai Zhe's second question, Yukinoshita Haruno took a few deep breaths, suppressing her curiosity and trepidation, and slowly said, "Yukinoshita... Yukinoshita Haruno, that's my name."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe slowly spoke up: "Yukinoshita Haruno, a very nice name; now tell me about the status of the Yukinoshita family in this country."

Hearing Bai Zhe's words, and with the image of the ground behind her being instantly scorched into glass by black flames flashing through her mind, Yukino Yukinoshita dared not lie and told the truth.

"The Yukinoshita family may not be much in Japan, but they still have some influence in Chiba. The Yukinoshita family started out with my great-grandfather and has grown into a family that controls one-third of the building materials industry in Chiba Prefecture. My mother is now the president of the company and also serves as a prefectural councilor."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe showed a hint of surprise. He wasn't surprised by the status of the Yukino family in Chiba Prefecture, but rather by the fact that the other party was lucky enough to have picked him up during the period when he was adapting to his powers after his first god-slaying.

Although it may sound a bit boastful, the Yukino family must be incredibly lucky to have found such a kind-hearted god-slaying demon king like him!

"Is that so... Although you're just a country noble, you're really lucky. I even suspect that your ancestors must have worshipped some Dragon King to have him teleport me to you."

After a moment of surprise, Bai Zhe looked puzzled and asked Yukino Yukinoshita, "But you only mentioned your mother. What about your father?"

After all, Snow Mother isn't a superhuman; she can't possibly reproduce asexually, right?

"dad?"

When faced with Bai Zhe's question, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression clearly showed some disappointment.

Because in her memory, her father's figure was so blurry that he didn't even exist. There wasn't even a photo of him in the house. All that remained in her memory was his loving smile and the warmth of his hand above her head.

Even more so, she once suspected that she and her sister were both IVF babies, or the result of paternity removal, and she tried to subtly inquire with her mother in private, but in the end she found out that she did indeed have a 'father'.

But her mother remained silent about what the other person looked like, what happened between them, and where they ended up.

All we know is that the other person disappeared without a trace shortly after my sister was born, as if they had never existed in this world!

Seeing Yukino's dejected expression, Shiratsu realized he had asked something he shouldn't have.

To be honest, he wasn't interested in what Yukinoshita Haruno's father's past was like.

However, he was interested in Yukinoshita and her sister. This might be because when he was still an ordinary person, he had watched anime and learned about them, leaving an impression and fondness in his memory.

He even referred to her as his umpteenth wife.

Therefore, not only out of guilt for reopening the wounds in the other person's heart, but also because of the affection he felt for himself, Bai Zhe apologized.

"I'm sorry I reminded you of something sad."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno was somewhat flattered by Shiratori's apology, and then shook her head, saying:

"That's not true. According to my mother, my father left when I was three or four years old. At that time, I couldn't remember everything, so I can't remember what he looked like or what his personality was like."

Then, in order to avoid continuing the discussion on this heavy topic.

Under Yukino's gaze, Shiratsu slowly rose, walked to the doorway where the morning sun still shone on his face, and stretched as he said:

"Now that I have transcended mortals, even the grandest ambitions of the past have vanished like smoke. Should I now learn from those three predecessors to rule the country? Should I implement a reign of terror? Or should I practice benevolent governance? Perhaps a combination of kindness and severity would be better?"

"I want to be a wise ruler, and I also want to be a tyrant. Ruling is such a troublesome thing..."

"Let's study the use of powers first."

Then, Bai Zhe slowly lowered his arm, turned around, and used his shadow to envelop Yukinoshita Haruno. He then said to her, "From today onwards, the Yukinoshita family belongs to me. You have no objections, right?"

"Eh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback by the question, and quickly explained, "Please wait a moment, I can't make that decision."

"Then let's find someone who can make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe did not make things difficult for Yukino Yukinoshita. After all, once he learned of her identity, he was determined not only to make her, but also to make her sister his woman.

Of course, Bai Zhe had only been a god-slayer for less than a day. Although he had become arrogant after gaining power, he still slightly longed to talk about love between men and women in his spare time, to add some spice to his life.

Otherwise, once one gains immense power, their boundless ambition will cause them to cease to be themselves.

He didn't want to become the kind of beast driven by power, ultimately losing even its own self.

Bai Zhe's words immediately relieved Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been tense.

Chapter Eight: The Hero and the Dragon! (Seeking flowers, favorites, and monthly tickets)

"I understand. Please wait a moment while I go and fetch Mother."

After saying that, Yukinoshita Haruno hurriedly got up.

"Go."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe nodded, and as Yukino Yukino left, he began to study his own powers.

The pitch-black dragon flames, filled with savagery and destruction, rose once more from his palm. As he thought about lowering the temperature, the surrounding temperature instantly rose and then gradually decreased.

The entire room turned into an oven, with the floor and walls bubbling. It was only thanks to Bai Zhe's quick thinking in controlling the temperature of the flames that a fire was averted.

In the process of trying to reduce the flame temperature, the flames that Bai Zhe obtained successively showed colors such as blue, white, and red, with the flame temperature decreasing accordingly.

"Is blue flame following black dragon fire? As it stands, the highest temperature of dragon fire should be able to maintain close to the surface temperature of the sun, which is a pretty good conclusion."

After all, his powers have only just begun to be developed.

Moreover, according to Bai Zhe's understanding, the power of the Godslayer will be used in more ways and become even stronger in the continuous battles.

It's just unknown whether there are any opponents in this world who can stand up to him. Of course, if this world is just a simple, ordinary world, it's safe to say that the combined strength of the entire Earth wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

After all, the power of "Hero Quest for Dragons" not only granted the White Dragon the power of evil dragon, but also granted him the power of the Steel Hero Siegfried.

A steel body bathed in dragon's blood, and the holy sword—Barmonk.

Even if the former were to endure the intense heat of a solar flare for ten minutes, it would only result in a minor sunburn.

Given the powerful physique of a god-slayer, as long as they are not fighting against enemies of the same or greater level, this level of damage will recover in no time.

The latter, however, can unleash even greater power than usual when facing a dragon.

Of course, these are all just Bai Zhe's theories on paper, since there are no dragons for him to kill in this world yet.

Out of curiosity, Bai Zhe extinguished the flame in his hand and summoned the holy sword Balmonk.

It was a greatsword with a cross-shaped hilt, almost as long as itself, and its entire body was silvery-white, gleaming with a cold light.

Then...

There was no infusion of magical power, nor was the Holy Sword released.

Bai Zhe simply picked up Balmonk and swung it forward lightly. The earth, which had been burned into glass by his dragon flames, was directly torn apart by the twilight-colored sword energy, creating a crack at least ten centimeters wide and at least a hundred meters long.

This scene was witnessed by Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita's mother, who rushed over.

They had never seen anything like tearing the earth apart with a single strike; such things only happened in novels, picture books, and myths.

Yukino was alright, because she had previously witnessed Hakutetsu's dragon flames instantly turning the ground into glass, but she was somewhat panicked upon seeing Yukimura's supernatural power for the first time.

Although Yukino had just told her that the other party could use supernatural powers, Yukino's mother, from an adult perspective, felt that her daughter had been deceived while being skeptical. However, out of a mother's trust in her daughter, she brought people over.

But once you look, you're shocked.

That kind of power to tear the earth apart is something that humans cannot possess. At least since she became the head of the Yukinoshita family and a member of the Chiba Prefecture council, she had never heard of such a person existing in the world!

Regardless, this is an opportunity for the Yukinoshita family.

Therefore, after a moment of fear, Yuki's mother put on a flattering smile and quickly led Yukino Yukinoshita to Shiratsu's side.

However, the rapidly changing expressions on Yuki's mother's face surprised Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing behind her and was used to seeing her mother's domineering side.

Having already noticed the footsteps, Bai Zhe caught a glimpse of the approaching figures out of the corner of his eye. Only after the two arrived beside him did he stop admiring the holy sword in his hand, retract its power, and then focus his gaze on Yukinoshita, who was standing less than half a step behind Yuki-no-Mae.

I thought you would return later.

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita was at a loss for words. However, Yukinoshita's mother, who was standing in front of her, smiled and said, "Please forgive me, because what Yukino said before was indeed quite shocking. But after seeing your power, I realized that I was just a frog in a well."

“I love to hear nice things.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe nodded slightly, a clear smile appearing on his face.

His words clearly placed him in a position higher than that of Xue Mu.

As the saying goes, "He who possesses a weapon will naturally have the will to kill"; all the power, fame, status, and money in this world ultimately stem from the ability to use violence.

Therefore, after becoming a god-slayer, all of Bai Zhe's desires are constantly growing.

This may be a gradual process, or it may be achieved overnight.

But regardless, godkillers are a group of self-centered individuals.

Bai Zhe is the same!

Because if a person has enough power to suppress the whole world, he neither places himself in a superior position nor displays his desires.

This is what everyone should be terrified of.

After all, no one knows if this powerful being who dislikes everything might one day suddenly have the idea of ​​destroying the world!
