Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

"Hello, I'm Yu Bai. I accidentally fell here. May I ask where this is?" Controlling his body to slowly descend, Yu Bai walked lightly toward Hozuki and Shiro.

"My Lord, this is the place of dislike in Hell, specifically set up for souls who committed evil deeds such as killing and abusing animals in their previous lives. Here they will suffer the torment of being torn apart and pecked by animals. I am Shiro, a soldier of this Hell, and this is Lord Hozuki, who is the assistant to King Enma."

Upon hearing Yu Bai's question, before the black-haired assistant could react, Xiao Bai eagerly stepped forward to answer Yu Bai's question.

Xiao Bai squatted at Yu Bai's feet, gently sniffing the scent of this silver-haired deity. Then, as if a cat were intoxicated by catnip, its joy was overflowing. Its tail kept wagging, and even the background behind it seemed to bloom with beautiful little flowers.

This deity smells so good, it feels so warm, I want to stick to him.

With the triple buffs of the Changge Nanny, the Fengyue God, and Enkidu's natural power, Yu Bai naturally has an irresistible attraction to small animals.

“Hell…” Yu Bai murmured the word softly, his lips twitching involuntarily.

Goodness, that hole is really something, it's driven me to hell. Who on earth did this?

No, no, no, isn't the most shocking thing right now the fact that hell really exists in this world?

Um... but since I've become the Goddess of Abundant Moon, it seems quite normal for there to be a hell?

Upon hearing that he had come to Hell from that cave, Yu Bai was greatly shocked, but then he thought that he had already lost his human status, so Hell and such made sense.

But the most important question now is how to get back? The teleporter isn't on him right now, so he needs to go home and use the teleportation array to get back to the citadel.

Tomorrow at noon, I'm going to the beach vacation that I arranged with Wuyan and Shuyue last time. I can't let my friends postpone this vacation again, can I?

That's absolutely not going to work. Yu Bai doesn't like always standing his friends up, so he needs to be back before noon tomorrow.

With that thought in mind, Yu Bai turned his gaze to the black-haired assistant: "Excuse me, Mr. Hozuki, I fell in here by accident. How can I return to the human world?"

At this point, Yu Bai paused slightly, looked up at the spot in the sky where he had just fallen, and continued, "Going back the way we came seems a bit difficult."

"...We need to report to King Yama and have Ox-Head and Horse-Face open the gates of hell."

Hozuki looked at Yu Bai and gave a concise reply. Then he turned around and gestured for Yu Bai to follow him to King Yama's place.

……

Hozuki led Yu Bai all the way to the Yama Palace. In fact, before the Yama Palace, there were ten Yama Kings.

The ten Yama Kings are: King Qin Guang of Hall 1, King Chu Jiang of Hall 2, King Song Di of Hall 3, King Wu Guan of Hall 4, Yama King of Hall 5, King Bian Hua of Hall 6, King Tai Shan of Hall 7, King Du Shi of Hall 8, King Ping Deng of Hall 9, and King Wu Dao Zhuan Lun of Hall 10.

The dead ghosts must first undergo the judgment of the Ten Kings of Hell before finally standing before the Great King Yama.

Yu Bai watched as these ghosts dressed in white lined up one by one, heading to the Ten Halls of Yama for judgment.

It wasn't that there were no ghosts that tried to escape, but often these ghosts would be dealt with by a flying kick from the guards before they could even leave the hall or the procession.

If someone is unlucky enough to run into Hozuki, the outcome will be even more interesting.

Looking at a ghost being whipped to near death by Hozuki's spiked club, Yu Bai sincerely felt: This is too tragic, too tragic.

When I first met Sakura, I thought she would be like the Yama King in China, who is imposing and dignified.

Unexpectedly, this King Enma was a kind-hearted, plump man dressed in a red kimono and wearing a hat. He looked very amiable. If one did not know his identity, it would be easy to mistake him for an ordinary, fat uncle.

Looking up, one could see that the King of Hell was sitting in a high chair, surrounded by countless documents on his desk, looking every bit the miserable corporate slave.

Sure enough, no matter which country it is, the afterlife is always the busiest place, and everyone who can become a manager in this world is a workaholic.

If you don't believe it, think about Yama, the King of Hell in Chinese mythology, and Hades, the King of the Underworld in Greek mythology.

When describing these deities, people often casually mention how busy the affairs of hell and the underworld are, with the gods of death and jailers being overwhelmed with work.

After all, whenever a large-scale war or viral attack breaks out in the human world, a large number of people will flood into the underworld.

That's a lot of work.

Several figures stood in front of King Yama's table. The one in the lead was a boy with purple-blue hair, small flower-like patterns under his eyes, and a delicate and charming appearance.

Behind him followed a group of demons wearing tengu masks and with wings on their backs: Karasu Tengu.

"Your Majesty, all the wanted criminals have been apprehended. This escape was entirely the responsibility of our guard team," the handsome young man with blue-purple hair said to His Majesty.

"It's alright, Minamoto no Yoshitsune and the others have had a tough time too. There have been ghosts causing trouble lately. Eh? Hozuki, you're back?"

King Enma waved his hand, indicating it was nothing, as the escaped criminal had already been apprehended. He then noticed his assistant, Hozuki, leading Yu Bai through the courtroom doors.

Yu Bai, who was following Hozuki in, was initially admiring the hellish architecture of this cherry blossom country, but his attention was drawn to the name spoken by King Enma.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune, whose childhood name was Ushiwakamaru, was a famous general in the late Heian period and the original owner of the sword in his citadel.

I never imagined that Yoshitsune was such a delicate and beautiful young man.

"Hmm? Which deity is this?" Seeing that his sharp-tongued assistant was followed by someone he had never seen before, Yama looked at Yu Bai with some curiosity.

Having spent so many years with Hozuki, this was the first time Enma had ever seen this somewhat eccentric guy so kindly bring someone to see him.

And although this person always had a blank expression, King Enma could subtly sense that Hozuki's mood at this moment was not as bad as the expression on his face suggested; rather, it was a rare good mood.

Then, upon closer inspection, things took a turn for the worse: Oh my god! He asked his advisor what to do about a deity that had somehow been brought in from who-knows-where.

Moreover, judging from the aura emanating from this being, he is a deity whose divine power is extremely pure.

Hozuki, you're being foolish! It's not too late to back down now!

……

King Enma: My family, this is outrageous! It seems my advisor has brought back a god from Takamagahara.

Yu Bai: Minamoto no Yoshitsune is a delicate and beautiful young man? Should we release Imaizumi to take a look?
