A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Surrounded by darkness that seemed to shroud an abyss, the lawns, trees, and vibrant flowers withered in an instant.

Even the chirping of insects, which often occurs at night during this time of year approaching summer, grew weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared completely.

This is 'death'.

It is the divine power of the god of the underworld who controls destruction and death.

Athena grasped the black scythe and poured it into it her most dangerous divine power.

"I am the one who summons winter, the one who controls life and death, the ruler of the cold underworld, the queen who seizes and plunders. I command you, Orihara Shirou, become a dead god, become a corpse!"

Athena's words of power transformed into a curse, forcefully invading Shirou.

"It's no use!"

The flames blazed fiercely, directly expelling Athena's curse.

"It didn't work..." Athena's beautiful eyes widened slightly. After the saltification was removed, she immediately stepped forward and attacked Shirou, wielding her black scythe.

Whoosh!

The scythe slashed through the air, leaving a dark trail, before colliding with Shirou's golden greatsword.

Clang!

This jet-black scythe is imbued with the aura of death. Although Shirou is immune to the curse she bestows, he will still be injured if he is hit by this non-physical attack.

"Damn it! Die!"

Athena's figure moved like a dancer, constantly wielding her black scythe to attack Shirou.

But Shirou blocked them all with his golden sword.

Intense sparks flew between them, and the clear clang of weapons clashed around them.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck, and Athena, sensing the attack, quickly distanced herself from Shirou.

Boom!

The lightning struck between them, sending sand and gravel flying and turning into a sandstorm.

"Lightning and storms... Mekal's power?"

Athena murmured, her brow furrowed.

However, it also seems somewhat different; thunder roars, torrential rain strikes... It is similar to Mekal's powers, but there are differences.

"What on earth is this..."

Before Athena could figure out the truth, the sky once again gathered clouds and dense thunderbolts crashed down. This time, Athena had no way to avoid it!

Boom!

Although she wanted to dodge, the simultaneous activation of the powers "Wrath of the Sky" and "Raging Storms" resulted in a massive amount of lightning strikes that Athena could not easily avoid.

“Ahhhh————!!!”

Her body was struck hard by lightning, and in an instant, the current spread throughout her body, causing black smoke to rise from her head.

The lightning didn't stop because of her screams; without Shirou's control, it continued to strike.

This area has been transformed into a domain of thunder.

Athena, caught in the middle, had no power to fight back. Her divine power had been greatly depleted by the use of a large number of words of power in the battle just now. Weakened, she lost her slender and tall body and turned back into her previous childlike form.

Her white dress was ripped to shreds after being struck by lightning, and now she looked like she was about to beg on the street.

The goddess, lying on the ground, looked up at the hateful man walking towards her. Helpless, she could only grit her teeth.

"I've been wanting to see this for a long time. That cute expression of being annoyed because you can't beat me, so all you can do is glare at me."

"...!!"

Even after defeating her, this man still acted this way.

How infuriating!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Serpent Anshela

"I have to admit... you really did beat me."

Although she was very unwilling, Athena knew that she had lost, and had been completely defeated.

If it were merely a defeat, she wouldn't be as angry as she is now.

What infuriated her was that she was not only defeated, but also humiliated by the guy who had insulted her so badly, and even mocked her in the end.

How despicable, how hateful, how despicable! How can such a hateful creature possess such immense power!

"Enough with the nonsense, just kill me and take my powers."

Athena endured the humiliation, closed her eyes, and awaited death.

However, it has yet to arrive.

She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the man who was tidying up her appearance. She was immediately furious. She had already prepared herself to die, but this guy acted like he cared about her completely.

Aren't you going to kill me?

Upon hearing this, Shirou gently brushed the sand off his clothes and looked down at the goddess. (Monthly subscription group 694936135)

“I have no interest in your powers. How about this, I’ll let you go today and make a good impression, and you can repay me when you regain your power.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Athena frowned slightly, looking at the man who made such a suggestion with disbelief.

"What do you say?"

Shirou looked at the girl lying face down in front of him with her head tilted back, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"..."

Athena carefully assessed the current combat strength of both sides.

Indeed, even if she regained all her power, she still wouldn't be able to defeat this 'Demon King'...

Even though I know this fact, the feeling of wanting to fight but being unable to is really frustrating.

"Alright... the loser should listen to the winner. Although I lost this time, after I repay this favor, I will definitely defeat you next time!"

The young goddess's pale purple eyes revealed a hint of stubbornness as she tossed her silver hair.

"The name of the man who defeated me is etched in my heart. Farewell... Orihara Shirou!"

After saying this, Athena, with her petite figure, leaped through the forest a few times, and her aura of 'disobedient god' completely disappeared from the coast.

"Finally... this incident is almost over. As for meeting the goddess again... I'm actually looking forward to it a little..."

……

"What!? 'King,' your power won't increase unless you kill the defeated 'disobedient god'...?"

Erica looked incredulous upon hearing that Shirou had defeated Athena but hadn't killed her.

"Athena's power doesn't have enough charm to interest me. If this goddess were to stay, she might be able to bring me more interesting things."

Shirou chuckled and offered a brief explanation.

"Is that so... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I got a little too excited..."

Since the 'King' has his own plans, Erica, as a knight, has no intention of hindering the 'King's' ideas.

"Don't worry about it, it just shows that Erica still cares about me."

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Shirou smiled and reached out to stroke the girl's slightly warm cheek.

"My King... Waaah, I'm so glad you know my true feelings!"

Erica was involuntarily moved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She then reached out and took Shirou's arm, leaning in very intimately.

"Hey, Erica! Don't do such a shameless thing in front of so many people!"

Upon witnessing this, Liliana immediately grabbed Erica and pulled her away from Shirou.

"Damn it, Liliana, if you want to steal the 'King's' favor from me, just say so! No need for this beating around the bush!"

Erica brought her face close to Liliana's ear and then spoke to her in a teasing tone.

As expected, the effect was outstanding. The silver-white knight princess immediately blushed and even began to stutter.

"What...what are you saying?! I...I didn't..."

"Oh? No?" Erica immediately took Shirou's arm again and gave Liliana a provocative smile.

"You don't even have this much awareness, yet you want to compete with me? Keep dreaming!"

"hateful……!!"

Liliana's face flushed red with anger. She walked around Shirou's front and went to the other side of the seat, where she took his other left arm.

"How could I possibly lose to you like this!"

Seeing Liliana so easily fooled, Erica immediately revealed a mischievous smile, her heart bursting with joy.

"That's wonderful! It's truly an interesting thing to serve a 'King' like you, Liliana!"

"you

What on earth are they talking about?!

Seeing that she had gone to such lengths but still couldn't get Erica to show even the slightest sign of being threatened, Liliana gritted her teeth in anger.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had made a mistake somewhere.

……

A boy named Lu Yinghua arrived at a shrine built in a corner of Nikko Mountain.

Compared to the magnificent Toshogu Shrine and the Futarasan Shrine near the west side, it is separated from the area accessible to the general public as a tourist destination.

Within this territory, Kyuhozuka Mikihiko, dressed in priestly attire, answered a phone call on his cell phone.

"So, the 'King' will be here? Of course, you're very welcome... Hmm, please give my regards to the 'King'."

Standing beside Kyuhozuka Mikihiko were Riku Yinghua and Ansheira.
