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

"Is this how you act as Princess Sheplon?!"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl bowed again slowly and replied with a smile, "I apologize for my rudeness, but I came back today to tell you that you don't need to hold this meeting about the Knights Kingdom."

Seeing this, Zacharias III frowned deeply, and his gaze toward her gradually turned hostile.

"what do you mean!"

Just then, a nobleman from the royal faction also stepped forward and questioned Oskoia.

"Your Highness Oscar, what are your intentions now? Bringing a dragon and some unrelated, lowly commoner to the palace, is it to... strengthen..."

However, before the man could finish speaking, Mordred's scarlet eyes instantly looked over, and at the same time, a magic circle appeared in front of her nose.

Before anyone around could react, a beam of black light shot out, completely vaporizing the nobleman and leaving only charred marks on the ground!

After Mordred finished doing this, Oskoia once again spoke in an elegant voice to Zacharias III: "That's right, the purpose of my return is to make you abdicate."

But the next second, the girl's voice turned cold and no longer polite.

“You should step down from this position, Father!”

Chapter 53 Bai Zhe: Rules are meant to be broken! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers)

As Oskoia finished speaking, Zacharias III on the throne was no longer as composed as before.

Those cloudy old eyes looked at the four people who came down from the dragon's head to the ground, and he immediately ordered the knights around him in a panic: "Men, seize this unfilial daughter!"

But almost at the same moment his command was given, Tristan opened his mouth wide and let out a deafening roar at Zacharias III, blowing off the crown on his head that symbolized his status and power as king!

Faced with the enormous size difference, the assembled officials and knights could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded, and not one dared to step forward to stop it.

After the roar ended, Zacharias III's hair and clothes were disheveled, as if he had just squeezed out of a crowd.

Having just experienced that ordeal, in the face of death, the last thread of reason in his mind snapped, and he almost went mad, resorting to his final act.

"Guards! Attack her! Whoever captures her will be granted a noble title and a fiefdom!"

As the saying goes, a generous reward will surely bring forth brave men!

As Zacharias III's frenzied voice rang out, some of the knights and soldiers surrounding the Holy Dragon moved.

However, the next second, as Tristan swung his tail and breathed fire from his mouth, anyone who moved was either whipped by his tail and sent flying onto a distant wall, turning into a pile of minced meat, or burned to a crisp by the flames.

Seeing the fate of the perpetrators, everyone present instantly fell silent, no one daring to make another move!

After making an example of someone, Tristan then breathed fire directly onto the throne.

Upon seeing the dragon open its mouth towards him, with flames flashing from its throat, Zacharias III immediately scrambled away from the throne, thus avoiding the same fate as the throne, which was melted into lava!

At this point, Zacharias III finally panicked, clutching his head which had almost been engulfed in flames, and asked Oskoia with a horrified expression:

"Oscar, what do you want? Tell me, and I'll give you anything, as long as you don't hurt me!"

Upon hearing this, the purple-haired girl simply stated what she wanted.

"I want the whole of Sheplon!"

Upon hearing Oskoia's words, Zacharias III immediately replied, "I can give you the throne, but Sheplon has never had a queen, and royal women have no right to inherit the throne. This is an ironclad rule that has remained unchanged for thousands of years!"

"Have you considered what changes would occur if Sheplon were to become a queen?!"

This time, however, the one who answered Zacharias III was not Oskoia, but Bai Zhe.

The Demon King looked down at Zacharias III, who was lying on the ground like a stray dog, with his burning golden eyes and said solemnly, "You don't need to worry about that. Rules are meant to be broken."

Immediately following Bai Zhe's words, Oskoia chimed in, "Since there has never been a queen in the history of Sheplon, then I will set a precedent and become the first in history!"

After speaking to Zacharias III, the girl looked at the assembled courtiers and knights.

"What's your choice? Will you become part of the past along with him, or...?"

Although Oskoia didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was already quite clear.

As the girl finished speaking, the assembled ministers and knights exchanged glances, clearly considering how to make the choice that best served their own interests.

But a second later, the first person to submit appeared; he was Zacharias III's most trusted minister.

"Since Your Majesty does not mind that I am a loyal subject of the former king, this old man is naturally willing to serve Your Majesty!"

Since someone took the lead, the others no longer hesitated and offered their knees to Oskoia, kneeling on one knee to swear their loyalty to the girl.

At the same time, Bai Zhe arrived before King Zacharias III. The old king, whose glory had faded, looked up at the pair of burning golden eyes above him and felt as if his heart had been seen through. He showed fear towards the demon king before him.

Then, he heard the Demon King in front of him say, "Although there was a prior agreement with Oskoia."

“But you are not Odeva after all. I see that you still harbor ambitions in your heart. You are unwilling to leave the center of power just like that. Therefore, in order for Oskoia to better rule Sheplon in the future, you are no longer suitable to appear on the continent in this form.”

Just as Zacharias III was about to beg for mercy after he finished speaking, he saw a cup of glittering gold coins appear in Bai Zhe's hand, which deeply attracted his attention.

Not only Zacharias III, but everyone around, including Mordred, the King of the Underworld Dragons, all showed greedy expressions towards the gold coin in Bai Zhe's hand.

However, the Dragon Girl's love for Bai Zhe outweighed her greed, so she quickly sobered up from this temptation.

Immediately afterwards, the Dragon Girl glanced around at the crowd, whose faces showed the same greedy expression as hers just now, and then let out a soft snort.

That menacing aura suddenly swept over, like a hammer blow to everyone's hearts, forcibly waking everyone from their greed for gold coins with its chilling malice!

Among those present, there was only one person who had not yet regained consciousness: Zacharias III, whose greed had been completely aroused by Bai Zhe's use of Rhine Gold!

Once they regained their senses, Oskoia and Celestina dared not look at the gold coins in Bai Zhe's hand again, fearing that they would succumb to that temptation once more.

The former bit her lower lip tightly, using the pain to forcefully distract herself, and looked at Bai Zhe's face, asking him:

"What a terrifying temptation! This thing could probably corrupt one's soul. What exactly is this, Bai Zhe?"

"The Rhine Gold, the treasure guarded by the greedy dragon."

As Bai Zhe answered, the gold coin in his hand fell to the ground, and was caught by the overjoyed King Zacharias III with both hands.

Then, something terrifying happened.

The gold coin that Zacharias III caught actually went directly into his body, and then he began to mutate.

His teeth fell out of his mouth, only to be replaced by sharp fangs; his fingers turned into claws; and a pair of bat wings arched his back, tearing open the magnificent royal robes and unfolding them in the royal hall.

In almost three breaths, Zacharias III transformed into a hideous, repulsive dragon, then roared as it crashed through the roof and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the assembled officials realized at that moment that this man was the true backbone of the four.

Even so, no one dared to approach him to curry favor, for they were terrified of him!

Then, Bai Zhe's voice rang out again in the throne room.

"The time for the coronation has come. Everyone, mobilize your strength! I want to hear only the name of Oskoia throughout the entire Sheplon in a single day."

Chapter Fifty-Four: Delivered to Oskoia! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

After declaring Oskoia as King of Sheplon, Bai Zhe had the Star Sword Tirnanog, hidden in the royal treasury, brought to him.

Looking at the technologically advanced longsword that Bai Zhe was holding and weighing in his hand, Mordred curled his lip in disdain.

"This is Star Sword Tirnanog, there's nothing special about it at all!"

"It's not anything extraordinary, but it might be useful in the future."

Bai Zhe couldn't see anything unusual about the sword, but his god-slayer intuition told him that the sword emanated a fragment of a soul with an aura close to that of a divine beast.

It's likely that the Wise Dragon King possessed strength approaching that of a divine beast, otherwise the dragon race wouldn't have gone to such lengths to seal it away!

Immediately afterwards, the black-haired dragon girl clung to Bai Zhe's arm, pleading, "Hey~ hey, let's go out and play for a while while that woman's not around. I want to see what the difference is between this city and the capital of the Knight Kingdom."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe could not refuse the Dragon Girl's request. He put down the Star Sword in his hand and looked at Celestina, who had been placed by his side while he was discussing the matter of ascending the throne with his ministers.

"Could you please tell Oskoia that Mordred and I are going out for a while and will be back in the evening?"

"Oh, and could you also give us some Sheplon currency?"

Although he and Mordred were of noble birth, they were both genuine paupers.

After becoming a god-slayer, Bai Zhe rarely touched money, because wherever he was, his food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were all managed by the women in the local area.

As for Mordred, who was born not long ago, apart from the magical clothes he wore, he had almost nothing of value!

Upon hearing this, Celestina immediately volunteered.

"Let me follow behind Your Majesty. Even in the palace, I can't offer you any help."

Bai Zhe would naturally not refuse a request from a beautiful young woman with whom he had a relationship.

“That works, but if that happens, we’ll have to go to the dungeon first.”

Although Tristan was in the palace, to further ensure Oskoia's safety, Bai Zhe, led by Serestina, went directly to the palace dungeon and threw a piece of Rhine gold there.

As the three left the palace, hundreds of evil dragons broke through the dungeon's blockade and descended directly into the throne room, nearly scaring the ministers who were discussing matters with Oskoia out of their wits.

Fortunately, a dragon placed the letter it was carrying in its mouth into her hand, making the girl realize that it was a soldier sent by Bai Zhe to protect her.

Once the girl calmed down, she began to soothe the frightened ministers. Although none of them fled in panic, they were even more terrified when they started discussing matters with her again!

On the main street closest to the palace, the black-haired dragon girl looked at the bustling street and the flow of people, and sighed deeply.

"Oh! There are more people than in the Kingdom of Knights! It's like a swarm of ants gathered together."

In the eyes of the arrogant Nether Dragon King, apart from Bai Zhe, his women, the Dragon Mother, and the Holy Dragon Emperor of the same rank, even the dragon race were nothing more than her servants, and the status of other humans was even lower, basically no different from slaves or ants!

Mordred's words naturally displeased Celestina, perhaps because of her love for Sheplon, or perhaps because the country was about to be ruled by Oskoia.

So, as soon as Mordred finished speaking, Celestina immediately retorted, "Perhaps in your eyes this country is nothing more than a collection of ants, but this capital has been the culmination of King Sheplon's life's work throughout history; even the beggars in the capital will hold their heads high when they think of the many glories of the Kingdom of Sheplon!"

"Perhaps in the eyes of someone as great as you, we are as insignificant as ants, but if there are enough ants, maybe one day we can pull the dragon down from the sky."

"A sharp-tongued female human!"

Upon hearing this, Mordred's innocent face broke into a cold smile, and her crimson eyes turned icy as she scrutinized the silver-haired girl with the eye patch who was traveling with her.

Although Celestina felt a little intimidated by the dragon girl's gaze, she still braced herself and met her eyes.

Just then, Celestina's money pouches, which had been used to buy some unfamiliar fruits from Bai Zhe, returned to the two of them.

"Did you watch who could keep their eyes open the longest during the competition?"

With a joke from Bai Zhe, the standoff between the two immediately came to an end.

Upon seeing Bai Zhe return, Mordred immediately skipped over to the Demon King, grabbed his arm, picked out a small fruit from his pocket that she could see, popped it into her mouth, and said to Celestina while chewing:

"You have qualified as a human female. You were able to meet my gaze for so long under my oppressive presence. You are now qualified to be Bai Zhe's maid."

"It is your honor to be remembered by me, the great King of the Underworld. Now tell me your name."

As the dragon girl finished speaking, her youthful face immediately showed a sour expression.

"Ptooey! What is this stuff? It's so sour!"

In response to Mordred's question, Bai Zhe explained his reason for buying the fruit: "I don't know, the shopkeeper said it's very popular with sailors, so I bought it to try. Should I go and overturn his stall?"

Faced with Bai Zhe's suggestion, the black-haired dragon girl politely declined, saying, "That won't be necessary. I chose these from among so many things myself. It was my good fortune and has nothing to do with that human. As great as I am, I would not punish arbitrarily."

Upon seeing this, the silver-haired maid smiled and casually placed her right hand on her heart, saying, "Celestina Laffer, it is my honor to be remembered by you."

Seeing Celestina silently mocking her, Mordred immediately pouted her cherry lips.

"Hmph! Celestina, is it? Be grateful, I'll remember your name."

Afterwards, led by Celestina, Bai Zhe and Mordred sat down in a nearby square, observing the daily lives of the capital's residents while sharing the fruit the Demon King had bought.

However, most of the white-haired people only took a small sip before handing it to Mordred and Celestina.

Of course, none of the three tasted the fruit that had made Mordred sour. In the end, they could only keep it in their pockets and take it back as a gift to reward Oskoia for his hard work in the council.

To express her gratitude to Bai Zhe, the girl also gave him a demonstration of what it means to be a self-taught poison dragon.

It's a tough one for Mordredchuan, who's on the front lines.
