Anime Crossover: I Became the Bull Demon King in My Own Land

As the initial victim, Artemis looked at Eugene with a complicated expression and asked with a slightly changed attitude.

"Really, is there no other way?"

"To contend with that god of love, only divine power is needed."

Eugene sighed softly: "Her capriciousness is as unexpected as her charm; with just a glance, everything in the world becomes her subservient."

"Even if one obtains extraordinary power in this world, in her presence, if one does not possess a sufficiently strong and pure divinity, one's mind will be instantly taken away."

"In that case, nothing would make sense."

In the original work, when Freya unleashed her divine power and controlled the entire Orario, only Hestia, one of the three virgin goddesses, remained unaffected.

Artemis must also possess this trait.

"Can't we just not go?" Astraea asked, her face clouded with worry.

She was unaware of Eugene's true strength. In normal understanding, even with the help of Artemis's power, a decisive battle with Freya would result in extremely devastating aftershocks.

Previously, Artemis had subtly hinted that Eugene had forcibly seized the goddess's power through some means.

Although I was shocked and angry when I first heard it, after learning more about Eugene and hearing his explanation, that feeling has turned into worry.

According to Eugene, then overstepping the bounds was truly out of necessity.

An immortal god is fine, but can Eugene really bear such world-destroying power?

"I won't hide from her forever."

"With my current abilities, I can go anywhere in the world, so please do not try to stop me."

Eugene spoke the most dangerous words in a calm tone as he stood up.

What followed was a deafening roar of thunderclouds looming overhead.

That was the "heaven and earth change" power belonging to the Ten-Tails, and it was also the source of Eugene's confidence.

This unwavering determination to surpass the power of any god was the very source that propelled him into that destined-to-be-cruel struggle.

Astraea felt a little short of breath, her snow-white chest rising and falling slightly.

She looked up at Eugene's body, and from it, she could feel a very familiar aura emanating from him.

who is it?

Yes, it was him?

Memories of the past resurfaced, and the despicable and terrifying god, a mixture of madness and benevolence, appeared once again.

Erebus, the god of darkness and chaos!

His love for the lower realm was profound, and his methods were extremely wicked and dark.

Oppression breeds rebellion, and darkness fosters the growth of heroes.

The price was countless hours of gunfire and bloodshed.

Such a contradictory individual, an alien god who was once personally sent back to the heavens by Astraea.

Now, individuals with similar wills to his are reappearing in the world.

Will you bring despair to everything? Or is there a glimmer of hope hidden behind despair?

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in the heart of the goddess of justice.

In her memory, all the tragedies occurred during the tearing apart.

If the outcome of a battle cannot be decided instantly, then it will escalate into a protracted battle between gods, and the only price for that is the destruction of the lower realm.

So, if one side had overwhelming power, would the situation be slightly more optimistic?

They carried out decapitation strikes with the fluidity of an assassin, leaving no trace of the battle.

Could Eugene do that?

The more Astraea let her mind wander, the heavier her sorrow became.

She didn't know how to bring it up with Eugene, after all, it was a rather far-fetched idea.

"What, are you hesitating? Are you worried about the possibility of widespread bloodshed?"

Eugene spoke gently to soothe him: "Have you forgotten that I can bring people back to life? Reviving a large number of lives in a short period of time is also possible, it just requires a long period of preparation afterward."

To use the Samsara Rebirth Technique, a scapegoat is ultimately needed. If everyone in this world dies, Eugene can just go to the Naruto world to retrieve them.

..... . ...

For any death occurring within a fixed timeframe, only the cost of one life is required to bring the deceased back to life.

In the Naruto storyline, after the Fourth Shinobi World War began, tens of thousands of ninjas died. On the night of the final battle, after being defeated, Obito Uchiha still thought of using his own strength to bring back all the dead ninjas.

Whether it's exchanging one Madara Uchiha's life or tens of thousands of others' lives, it seems there's no limit to this.

Eugene's words were sincere; if he were to become the king of this world, he would need subjects to rule him.

It would be so boring if the world were to be destroyed.

Little did she know that these words would cause quite a stir in Astraea's heart.

Eugene still underestimated the significance of resurrection in the DanMachi world.

Even if God is in great pain because of separation, He cannot use any divine power to bring back the deceased.

Throughout history, only Eugene himself has been able to revive a large number of lives at once!

Previously, he had already proven with his actions that he had the ability and was willing to pay any price to revive the hearts of strangers who had little connection to him.

"You, him, and them are ultimately different."

As if the clouds had parted and the sun had returned, the frost on Astraea's face melted away and the mist dissipated.

She looked at this man who was so glamorous and arrogant, yet possessed a passionate heart, and smiled warmly and with relief.

If a fight is unavoidable, if a winner must be chosen.

So, as far as the lower realm is concerned, you are the only one left.

"I made a decision."

"I will lend you the divinity and power that I, the goddess of justice, Astraea, possess."

"Let us together return the God of Love to the heavens!" (Mountain)

349 each, one for each hand, take the goddess to the dark room

"You, no, what did you say?"

Eugene frowned; this development was truly beyond his expectations.

Although he hadn't entirely ruled out such a good thing, Astraea's unwavering commitment to justice meant that Eugene could never walk the same path as her.

After a conversation, the mother-in-law, who should have reprimanded Eugene for his disrespect for God or his irresponsible attitude towards the living beings in the lower realm, surprisingly chose to support her son-in-law.

This is not just about offering support; it's about mortgaging one's entire fortune.

What she was willing to gamble with was her divine power and divine status!

The sword of justice in the heavens has now turned against itself!

"Hey, no way!!"

Even more astonished than Eugene was Artemis.

Her mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, and her goddess-like demeanor was completely ruined.

What the hell?! I asked you to help denounce this guy! How did you get tricked into this too?!

The "May 13th" power was given away so easily, don't you know the true nature of this scumbag!

With Eugene present, she couldn't vent her pent-up frustration, so she could only grip her best friend's arm tightly, begging her not to lose her temper.

But this time, Astraea was clearly thinking more than the moon goddess.

Between the two options, she should choose the lesser of two evils. Before a battle in which she has no say is about to unfold, she should either remain a complete bystander or take the initiative to increase her stakes, accelerate the process, and minimize any potential damage to the human world.

This is undoubtedly a compromise of justice, and the opportunity lies in the good impression that Eugene had gradually built up.

He was lustful, yet loving; carefree, yet ambitious; he had committed grave crimes, yet possessed a soul dedicated to saving the world.

In Astraea's view, Eugene is very much like Erebus, a contradictory combination of good and evil, chaos and peace.

Yet he surpassed that evil god, possessing a clearer mind, a more resolute will, and the power to alarm even the gods.

In contrast, Freya had nothing.

Only that crazy and obsessive love.

You cannot expect God to be kind, because to Him, all things are but dust and ants.

Millions of years are enough to erase any trace of the mundane world, which also means that life and death in the lower realm are meaningless.

"So, I choose you."

Astrea spoke slowly, her gentle eyes shining with a clear and distinct light.

"Perhaps it's just my imagination, but I see something extraordinary in you."

"In this world, the gods are content with the ordinary in order to seek an encounter with the soul."

"And today, I have finally seen something that has taken even a god like me by surprise."

After her heartfelt words, there was a long silence. Artemis, who had been just one step away from shouting, gradually became dejected.

She knew Astrea wouldn't change her mind, and although she understood this fact, she still felt uneasy.

Why should this despicable guy receive justice?

They're just using power they've seized to recklessly achieve their ambitions, and they make it sound so nice!

Eugene wasn't as awkward as her. After confirming Astraea's attitude several times, he finally promised her that he would resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

It's impossible not to accept divine power that's offered to you.

Although this goddess of justice is not among the twelve Olympian gods and is not as powerful as Freya and Artemis, the difference in addition and subtraction of large units, even from 1 to 1.5, is still quite obvious.

"Thank you for your trust. I will do my best to protect this lower realm."
