Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan

A villa deep in the mountains on the outskirts of Koma Town.

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted into the spacious living room through the French windows, turning the expensive Persian carpet into a warm orange-red hue.

This luxurious villa, originally reserved for the Gremory family's summer retreat, has now welcomed a group of "guests" who make the owners dare not even breathe.

A huge charcoal grill has been set up on the open lawn outside the villa.

The finest silver-boned charcoal burns at a uniform, high temperature without any smoke or dust.

"Hurry up, Kiba! This A5 grade Wagyu beef has a perfect fat distribution. If it's exposed to room temperature for more than five minutes, the firmness of the meat will decrease by three percent!"

Tamamo Cat's fox ears stood up proudly on her head. She wielded two boning knives specially designed for dealing with large magical beasts, and was cutting a whole half-section of beef into evenly thick steaks at a dazzling speed.

"Yes, yes! Miss Tamamo Cat!"

Yuto Kiba, the devil knight who captivated countless girls at Kuoh Academy, was currently sweating profusely as a kitchen helper.

He carried a huge stainless steel tray in both hands, moving quickly between the oven and the kitchen counter.

Kiba's gaze would occasionally fall on the blade in Tamamo Neko's hand, his eyes filled with undisguised horror.

That wasn't cutting meat at all; it was some kind of extremely advanced swordsmanship practice!

The angle and force of each cut, even the smoothness with which it slices through the muscle fibers, are all works of art.

A "cook" who cooks in the kitchen can actually outsmart a professional swordsman.

"Minister, we're running out of ice over there. I'll go to the storeroom and get some more."

Himejima Akeno carried an empty ice bucket to Rias, who was setting out the tableware.

The Thunder Priestess, who usually sports a sadistic smile, had an extremely stiff smile today.

Rias Gremory stopped what she was doing, looked up at the black-haired man leaning against a deck chair under a parasol not far away, then lowered her voice, her tone filled with exhaustion and awe.

"Zhu Nai, go. Remember, bring out all the bottles of 'Abyss Blood Brew' that Father has treasured in the underground wine cellar. Don't hold back anything."

"Since Lord Luo Chen is willing to give us this opportunity to 'serve,' we must do our best. This is the only thing the Gremory family can do now."

Rias knew very well that the other party's request to host this barbecue dinner was not because they were actually short of food.

This is both a "favor" from those in power to those in lower positions and a warning.

If they can serve this meal well, the Gremory family can maintain their position in Kooh-no-Town.

If something goes wrong, then Riesel on the ground and the crippled Hyoudou Issei will serve as cautionary tales for them.

……

Under the parasol.

Luo Chen was wearing a loose black silk shirt, with the top two buttons of the collar casually undone, revealing his strong and well-defined collarbone.

He held a glass of bourbon on the rocks in his hand, completely relaxed in the soft recliner.

"Aaaaaa~"

Tiamat (Larva) was sitting barefoot on Luo Chen's lap, her two small, white hands holding a coconut bigger than her face, and she was trying hard to suck the coconut juice from inside with a straw.

Its pinkish-purple, cross-shaped eyes kept glancing towards the grill, and its small nostrils twitched slightly, clearly aroused by the aroma of roasting meat.

Are you hungry?

Luo Chen chuckled and gently ruffled Tiamat's long, silver-blue hair, feeling a cool, smooth sensation on his fingertips.

"Aaa!"

Tiamat nodded vigorously, its dragon horns brushing against Luo Chen's chin, causing him to lean back slightly.

"Wait five more minutes. The first batch of meat will be ready soon."

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, a familiar magical fluctuation came from the air on the left.

"Master."

The Lion King (Lancer) walked over with elegant steps, carrying a white porcelain plate.

Today she wore an extremely form-fitting pure white turtleneck sleeveless knit top that perfectly accentuated her enviable bust, paired with a black bodycon long skirt with a side slit that reached mid-thigh.

As she walked, her long, straight legs appeared and disappeared.

She walked to Luo Chen's side and bent down slightly.

Her ample breasts almost touched Luo Chen's arm.

"This is the first ribeye steak that Tamamo Cat just grilled. I've cut it to the perfect bite-sized size for you."

The Lion King used a silver fork to pick up a sizzling piece of beef, sprinkled with black pepper and sea salt, and presented it to Luo Chen's lips with utmost naturalness.

The icy coldness of the past was gone from those emerald eyes; only wholehearted focus remained.

Please enjoy.

Luo Chen didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.

The fat from the top-grade Wagyu beef bursts in your mouth instantly, mixed with the smoky aroma of charcoal, making the taste truly impeccable.

"The heat is just right."

Luo Chen nodded approvingly.

"Hey! You overdeveloped woman! You sneaked off again while I wasn't looking!"

An angry, demanding shout came from the direction of the oven.

Alter, holding a string of slightly charred squid tentacles, charged aggressively towards them in her high heels.

Today she wore a sexy red and black outfit, revealing her flat stomach, and her golden vertical pupils were full of burning competitive spirit.

"This is the ultimate delicacy that I personally grilled by the oven, using my 'fire of revenge' (actually, I secretly used a little magic)!"

Jeanne Alter shoved the Lion King's hand away and shoved the skewer of grilled squid in front of Luo Chen, her cheeks flushed with a charming blush from the heat (or perhaps shyness).

"Eat mine! You're not allowed to eat her stiff, neatly cut beef that has no soul!"

"If you dare refuse, I'll dump this plate on your head!"

Seeing this arrogant witch baring her teeth and claws, Luo Chen didn't even blink before opening his mouth and biting off the slightly charred squid tentacles.

After chewing it a couple of times, it was indeed a bit bitter, but the hint of sweet and spicy flavor mixed in was quite unique.

"Hmm. It has a unique flavor. Is it seasoned with honey?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Mind your own business!"

Upon hearing this comment, Jeanne Alter's previously sullen expression instantly crumbled, and she deflated like a punctured balloon.

She turned her head away, her ears burning red, and muttered softly.

"You bastard, you've got a pretty good tongue... I just accidentally brushed honey on instead of soy sauce..."

"This is a grave desecration of the ingredients, Alter."

Artoria (Saber) also joined in at some point, carrying three stacked plates filled with various kinds of meat and seafood.

She looked at the charred squid in Jeanne d'Arc's hand, and the ahoge on her head twirled twice in dissatisfaction.

"As king, I must correct your appalling behavior of wasting food. A master's stomach should be filled with the most perfect dishes, not your experimental waste."

"Huh? What right do you, a country bumpkin who only knows how to eat, have to talk to me like that? Look at the meat on your plate, it's practically a mountain! Are you a pig?!"

Jeanne Alter retaliated without mercy.

"This is the necessary energy reserve for the knight to maintain high-intensity combat!"

Saber spoke with righteous indignation.

Watching the group of women bickering over the "feeding rights" as usual, Luo Chen sighed helplessly, but a deep smile filled his eyes.

Just then, Akeno Himejima, carrying an ice bucket, returned and witnessed this scene.

This half-angel, who usually acts like a "sadistic older sister" at school and likes to tease others with her words, didn't even have the courage to approach that recliner at this moment.

Any one of the three women surrounding Luo Chen could raze the entire town of Juwang to the ground with the magical energy emanating from her.

But in front of this man in black, they were like a group of kittens and puppies vying for their master's affection.

"Oh dear... It seems there's absolutely no room for us to interfere with this person's affairs."

Zhu Nai shook her head with a wry smile, and very tactfully placed the ice bucket on the long table in the distance, then turned to help Sister Elsa tidy up the tableware.

In a corner of the villa, a figure was silently watching everything.

Gaspar Vladi.

This cross-dressing boy with half-vampire blood was not hiding in the cardboard box as usual.

He stood in the shadow of the eaves, his hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes. His red eyes no longer held fear, but were filled with fanatical worship for Luo Chen.

"Lord Luo Chen... is truly amazing."

Gaspar felt the power of the divine artifact within him that had once caused him unbearable pain.

Now, that power flows docilely through his magic loops, like a tamed sheep.

He can even freely control the range of time stopping without worrying about it going berserk.

That was a miracle, forcibly crushed and reassembled by that great man using pure "magic".

"Hey, little vampire."

A crisp sound interrupted Gaspar's thoughts.

Ishtar (the goddess of Venus) swaggered over, carrying two roasted chicken legs in her hands.

Today she wore hot pants and a red cropped T-shirt, exuding an air of wealthy and confident self-assurance.

"Luo Chen said you're afraid of the sun, so he asked me to bring you some food."

Ishtar shoved the chicken leg into Gaspar's arms, then leaned closer and asked mysteriously.

"I heard your town is demon territory? Where's the demon's treasure trove? Do you have any natural rubies weighing hundreds of carats? If so, this goddess might consider taking you as her follower!"

"Treasure...treasure trove?"

Gaspar was taken aback by the goddess's quirky personality and stammered in response.

"The Gremory family's treasury is in the Underworld... Kuoh Town only has some daily operating funds..."

"Tch, so poor."

Ishtar curled her lip in disdain and turned to leave.

"Forget it, I'll go take a stroll around your so-called underworld when I have some free time."

……

Night falls.

The evening breeze in the mountains dispelled the daytime heat.

Strings of warm yellow magic lights hung on the lawn outside the villa.

The banquet officially began.

Luo Chen sat at the head of the long table, flanked by Morgan and Scáthach.

These two mature and elegant women didn't shout and yell like Saber and Jeanne d'Arc Alter over food. They simply sipped their red wine elegantly, occasionally exchanging a gunpowder-filled and scrutinizing glance.

"The taste is indeed quite good. It's better than what the chefs in the Fairy Kingdom make."

Morgan put down her wine glass, her black lace gloves gleaming dimly under the light.

She glanced at Rias, who was standing nervously beside her pouring drinks, and spoke in a flat tone.

"The next head of the Gremory family. Arthur is very pleased with your hospitality. From now on, as long as you do not violate the rules of the Fairy Palace, I will allow you to retain your rule over this town."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty Morgan!"

Rias felt as if she had been granted a pardon. Her nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed, and even her voice trembled slightly.

She knew that these words meant the Gremory family had finally survived this catastrophic disaster.

As long as she clings to this powerful figure, not only fallen angels, but even seraphim from heaven would never dare to lay a finger on her in Kuoh Town.

"Alright, stop scaring the little girl."

Luo Chen picked up his wine glass and gently swirled the scarlet liquid inside.

The Third Star Particle Body within his body was pulsating calmly.

That sense of relaxation—not having to think about fighting or face the destruction of the world—is truly intoxicating.

"Cheers."

Luo Chen raised his wine glass, his gaze sweeping over every vibrant face on the long table.

"Cheers!!"

Amid cheers in various languages ​​and tones, the glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

The banquet reached its climax amidst a lively atmosphere.

Mordred and Melusin began their traditional "physics debate" over the last piece of roast meat, chasing and playing on the lawn, sending grass flying wherever they went.

Artoria took the opportunity to claim the piece of meat for herself and gave them a very serious verbal lecture on "knights should not fight over things".

Sister Elsa, flushed and dizzy, was leaning on Mashu's shoulder, giggling after being given a glass of very low-alcohol fruit wine by Tamamo Neko.

Tiamat remained draped over Luo Chen's lap, like a large, well-fed cat, emitting soft snores.

Luo Chen watched this scene, tilted his head back, and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

He stood up, without disturbing Scáthach and Morgan who were drinking, and walked alone to the terrace on the second floor of the villa.

The mountain breeze at night carried a hint of coolness.

Luo Chen leaned against the white marble railing, took out a cigarette (manifested through magic) from his pocket, and lit it.

Pale blue smoke swirled around my fingertips before dissipating into the night.

His crimson-gold vertical pupils narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing through the layers of night, as if overcoming the barriers of space and looking directly at a distant and ethereal dimension.

"Hiding in a crack to spy is not a good habit."

Luo Chen's voice was very soft, yet it possessed an absolute penetrating power capable of cracking even the space itself.

"You've been watching for so long, aren't you going to come out and say hello? Or do I need to go over there and gouge your eyes out myself?"

……

at the same time.

Countless dimensions away from Earth, in the deepest part of a dimensional rift filled with endless colorful turbulence.

This is an absolutely forbidden area that even the gods cannot set foot in.

In the heart of nothingness, a dragon so enormous that it cannot be measured by numbers lies coiled.

Its body is larger than the stars, and its red scales flow with a magnificent magic that intertwines [dream] and [reality].

True Crimson Dragon God Emperor, Great Red.

The supreme being known as "DXD (DxD)".

At this moment, the invincible dragon that had been wandering aimlessly in this crack was staring intently at the direction of Earth with its huge, star-like eyes.

"roar……"

Great Red let out a deep, even somewhat unbelievable, dragon roar.

Its massive body writhed uneasily in the void.

In its perception, the man in black standing on the terrace of a small town on Earth was neither human nor an ordinary dragon.

That was... an ultimate monster whose quality and status completely surpassed its own, capable of utterly shattering even its proud concept of "dream".

The moment Luo Chen's words exploded in its mind across dimensions, Great Red's scales instinctively stood up.

It showed no anger, nor any sense of humiliation at being provoked.

As a supreme life form born from nothingness, it understands better than any other being how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

That man... is untouchable.

Great Red made the most direct judgment in his mind.

Without hesitation, it swung its massive dragon tail, forcibly altering its wandering trajectory in the dimensional rift, and rapidly fled into the depths of the universe, completely opposite to Earth.

Meanwhile, Great Red fled in another direction.

In a silent space composed of pure "nothingness".

A girl dressed in black gothic lolita fashion, with long black hair and an appearance like a delicate human doll, is floating in the void with her knees drawn up to her chest.

Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God.

Her empty, emotionless black eyes were also fixed on the direction of the Earth.

"So strong..."

Orpheus's lips moved slightly, emitting a mechanical sound without any inflection.

"Even stronger than Great Red..."

"That 'infinite' magic... is purer than my 'infinite'... It has no end. No limits."

Orpheus stretched out her fair little hand, as if trying to touch that power across the endless void.

Her only goal is to return to the "silence (dimensional rift)" that originally belonged to her.

But because Great Red occupied the area, she was constantly seeking the power to defeat him.

And now, she sees it.

"If...if I could get his help..."

"Can I... go home now?"

For the first time, a flicker of emotion called "desire" appeared in Orpheus's empty eyes.

She stood up, her petite body transforming into a ball of black, ethereal magic, and silently descended upon the human world, upon the place called Koma-o Town.

……

On the terrace.

Luo Chen looked at the two completely different high-dimensional magical energy fluctuations in the sky.

One group chose to flee, while the other is cautiously approaching.

"Oh? Orpheus, the Infinite Dragon God?"

Luo Chen exhaled a smoke ring, and the smile on his lips turned somewhat wicked.

"Looks like there's going to be another little black cat begging for food during this leisurely holiday."

He casually stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers.

"That's fine. My dragons at home have been a bit bored lately anyway."

"If the Infinite Dragon God is willing to be a mascot, I wouldn't mind building her a nest in the backyard."
