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

As night deepened, the "mythical" open-air barbecue party in the Fairy Palace on the back mountain of Komao Town finally came to an end in the early hours of the morning.

On the lawn, the huge, specially made oven still emitted wisps of residual heat, and the silver bone charcoal occasionally flickered with a few dark red sparks in the night breeze.

Rias, Akeno Himejima, and the other demon maids were quickly cleaning up the mess of cups and plates.

Although they were exhausted and their backs ached, there was no complaint on their faces. Instead, they had a sense of relief and tranquility.

After all, being able to spend a day safely under the control of these monsters who could crush the laws of the world with their bare hands, and even get a few bites of divine roasted meat containing extremely high purity magic power, was an incredible stroke of luck for their demonic spirit origins.

On the second-floor terrace, Luo Chen leaned against the white marble railing, holding an empty glass of bourbon whiskey.

He tilted his head slightly, his crimson-gold vertical pupils gazing silently at the deep night sky.

The [Third Star Particle Body] within his body was like a gently flowing galaxy, operating at an extremely restrained frequency.

After a period of rest and blissful life, he had completely sorted out the cause and effect of Kuoh Town, and the three major factions were as obedient as quails. This world called DXD could no longer bring him any substantial pleasure.

"What's wrong? Is the low ceiling making you bored?"

A voice, tinged with languor and coldness, came from behind.

Morgan le Fay, wearing a deep purple silk robe and barefoot on the soft carpet, slowly walked to Luo Chen's side.

She reached out and took the empty wine glass from Luo Chen's hand with remarkable ease, then leaned her body into his broad embrace.

I guess so.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to put his arm around the fairy queen's slender waist, resting his chin gently on her fragrant silver hair, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"For a dragon that has already awakened, its bones will rust if it stays in a cage without prey for too long."

"system."

Luo Chen silently recited it in his heart.

[Yes, host.]

[The host's current world interference has reached its peak. Retrieving new higher-dimensional coordinates for you...]

[Coordinates locked: Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-.]

[World Overview: A typical alternate world based on "swords and magic." It contains a conceptual-level source of contamination called "Witch Factor," and a cycle of reincarnation controlled by the world's will, "Od Lagna."]

"A fantasy world of swords and magic? And witches?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"It sounds like a traditional RPG adventure game."

"Are you embarking on a new expedition?"

Morgan keenly noticed the subtle changes in the magical energy fluctuations around Luo Chen.

She raised her head, a hint of possessiveness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"This time, I won't allow you to leave me alone at home to guard the house again."

"Of course not."

Luo Chen lowered his head and placed a light kiss on the corner of her lips.

"Since that world is based on magic and knights, as a witch from Britain, your fairy magic should be able to create a very interesting 'chemical reaction' there."

"However, since the goal is to experience the fun of an 'otherworldly adventure,' bringing too many people would make it seem like a military invasion. This fairy palace also needs to leave enough fighting force behind to deter those demons."

Luo Chen's gaze pierced through the terrace, sweeping over the servants who were fast asleep on the floor in the lobby on the first floor.

"Scáthach and the Lion King will stay behind to guard the area. Ishtar and Ereshkigal will be responsible for watching over Tiamat and Orpheus."

Luo Chen made a decision.

"Morgan, you, Saber, and Mordred. All three of you come with me."

"Is it just the three of us?"

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Morgan's eyes.

Although she still has to bring along her rigid younger sister and that noisy, rebellious knight, at least in this new world, she has the absolute right to speak as the "official wife".

"A wise choice, Arthur."

……

The next morning.

When Luo Chen announced his decision to embark on a new world journey and released the list of those accompanying him, the entire Fairy Palace restaurant instantly erupted in chaos.

"Why?! I want to go too! I want to go to the new world to buy gems!"

Ishtar slammed her hand on the table and protested loudly, her twin ponytails swaying angrily.

"Master is biased! I want to follow Master too!"

Melusin, with tears in her eyes, tried to throw herself into Luo Chen's arms, but Scáthach grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Scáthach pressed Melusin into a chair. Although her wine-red eyes held a hint of regret, as a battle-hardened warrior, she knew very well that Luo Chen's arrangement was absolutely reasonable.

"Although the demons of this world have temporarily bowed down, if all the high-level combat forces are depleted, it's hard to guarantee they won't harbor other thoughts. Staying here to protect this foundation is also our duty."

She looked at Luo Chen and licked her rosy lips.

"However, Master. When you return, if you can't offer me a 'specialty' that satisfies me, I'll use this gun to get my revenge on your bed."

"Don't worry, there will be plenty."

Luo Chen smiled, then stood up and looked at Artoria and Mordred, who were already fully armed.

Artoria (Saber) was still wearing her signature blue and white battle dress, her long golden hair was tied up behind her head, and she held the holy sword that was wrapped in the Wind King's barrier in her hand.

Upon hearing that he was going to a different world where "swords and magic" were the main themes, the knight king's eyes burned with pure fighting spirit.

Mordred, on the other hand, was more direct. She wore her crimson heavy armor, her helmet tucked under her arm, and grinned excitedly.

"Dad! When we get to that world, the first battle has to be mine! I'm getting bored to death!"

"Let's go."

Luo Chen didn't waste any more words.

He raised his right hand, and in his palm, the illusory concept of [Simulated Star Chart - Truth of the Stars] slowly emerged.

He didn't use any complicated incantations; he simply relied on the power of the [Two-Digit Box Garden], which was enough to alter the laws of the world, to tear a golden spacetime rift open in the void with his bare hands.

"Target anchored: Kingdom of Lukenica, capital city."

Under the utterly shocked gazes of Rias and the other demon maids, Luo Chen, along with Morgan, Saber, and Mordred, stepped into the time tunnel leading to an unknown otherworld.

……

Lukenica, the capital of the Kingdom of Dragon Princes.

The midday sun shone brightly on this magnificent city, which is full of medieval European style.

The wide stone-paved streets were bustling with traffic, and humans mingled with demi-humans with animal ears and horns. Earth dragons pulling goods let out low, panting breaths amidst the shouts of the merchants.

This is a bustling scene full of fantasy, completely different from modern society.

In a secluded alley in the central square of the capital, four figures appeared out of the golden light without warning.

"The air here..."

As soon as Artoria landed, she frowned slightly.

Her emerald green eyes scanned her surroundings, and she instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword.

"Although the architectural style is somewhat similar to Camelot, the magic flowing in the air... no, it should be called 'Mana', feels very thin and mixed. Even the activity level of the micro-sprites is pitifully low."

"After all, it is a fragile sandbox that needs to be forcibly stitched together even the basic laws of physics by relying on the 'world will'."

Morgan le Fay gracefully opened his black magic umbrella, blocking out the blinding sunlight.

Her ruby-like eyes swept coldly across the sky, as if they could see right through the planet's atmosphere and gaze directly at the world's origin, known as "Od Lagna."

"A world that uses the cycle of souls as fuel and distributes power using a shoddy computer. Arthur, if you wish, I could completely hack into the root system of this world in less than a minute and rewrite it into my fairy kingdom's map."

"No rush, Morgan. We're here for tourism, not for real estate development."

Luo Chen put his hands in the pockets of his black trench coat and slowly walked from the alley into the bustling street.

The moment he stepped out of the shadows.

The flow of the Great Source Magic, imperceptible to ordinary people, in the sky above the entire capital of Lukenica was completely halted for three seconds!

That was the instinctive tremor of the world's will, "Ode Ragnar," when it sensed the intervention of Luo Chen, a higher-dimensional being.

It tried to scan and analyze this suddenly appearing "foreign object," but the probe's fluctuations were like a breeze hitting a black hole the moment they came into contact with Luo Chen, and were mercilessly crushed and swallowed up.

"Warnings are ineffective. Legal interventions are ineffective."

Luo Chen's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

He didn't even spare a glance for this world. The pressure that surpassed even the gods leaked out by only a fraction of a fraction, yet it forced the world's suppressive force to completely feign death, no longer daring to make any further probing moves.

"Let's go and familiarize ourselves with the local prices first."

Luo Chen, accompanied by three queens and knights whose beauty and aura were enough to take the breath away of passersby, merged directly into the bustling crowd.

……

Wangdu Commercial Street.

This is the liveliest place in the whole city.

The stalls on both sides were filled with all sorts of strange magical items, colorful ores, and otherworldly delicacies that exuded an enticing aroma.

"Gurgle..."

A crisp, untimely swallowing sound came from Artoria's throat.

This knight king, who was always dignified and self-possessed, was now completely attracted by the bright red fruits displayed at a fruit stand by the roadside.

"Dad, is that an apple? It looks so much like one, but it smells weird."

Mordred leaned closer, looking at her curiously.

"This is 'Apple'."

Luo Chen walked up to the stall and looked at the stall owner (Kadomon) with a burly face and a scar. He asked in extremely fluent rune pronunciation (the system's built-in language converter).

"Boss, how much are these apples?"

The scarred man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them upon hearing the sound.

When he saw Luo Chen standing in front of the stall, he froze instantly.

Even though Luo Chen had tried his best to conceal his aura, the oppressive feeling of being a predator at the top of the food chain still made the ordinary fruit stall owner's legs go weak and cold sweat instantly appear on his forehead.

"Two, twenty holy gold coins each..."

The middle-aged man stammered out a price that was extremely outrageous for ordinary people, clearly indicating that his brain had shut down and he was talking nonsense.

"Twenty gold coins? Are you robbing me?!"

Mordred frowned, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.

"Never mind, Xiao Mo. We're new here, let's give them a little something to say goodbye."

Luo Chen smiled nonchalantly.

He casually pulled out a pure magic ruby, about the size of a baby's fist, that he had swiped from the DXD world, and tossed it to the scarred uncle.

"All included."

The scarred man hurriedly caught the priceless gem, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, and bowed repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, sir! Please take care!"

Artoria held a bag of bright red apples, just as she had hoped, and carefully took a bite.

"Hmm... the flesh is crisp and juicy. Although the magic content is extremely low, the taste is indeed unique."

The Knight King nodded in satisfaction, his ahoge (cowlick) bobbing happily.

"Luo Chen, although the common people of this world may seem weak, their cultivation techniques are commendable."

"As long as you enjoy your meal."

Luo Chen smiled and ruffled her hair.

Just as this heartwarming "daily life of shopping in another world" was proceeding smoothly.

Suddenly, a series of extremely noisy shouts and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from a dark dead end ahead.

"Hey! Are you guys even being reasonable?! I'm the protagonist who was just summoned to this other world! You bunch of standard grunts A, B, and C, shouldn't you be obediently getting blasted away by my awakened magic right now?!"

A black-haired boy wearing a black tracksuit with white stripes and carrying a convenience store plastic bag was cornered against a wall by three thugs wielding rusty daggers.

Subaru Natsuki.

This immature teenager, who was just forcibly dragged into this world by the witch's curse and whose mind is full of game settings, is now facing his first "social beating" in his life.

"What nonsense is this kid spouting?"

The leader of the thugs impatiently brandished the dagger in his hand, his face full of ferocity.

"Enough with the nonsense! Hand over that strange bag you're carrying, and everything else of value you have! Otherwise, we'll bleed you dry right here!"

"Damn it! Where is my magic? Where is my holy sword?!"

Natsuki Subaru hugged the plastic bag and closed his eyes in despair.

"What an ugly face."

A clear, crisp female voice, filled with irritability and disdain, suddenly rang out at the alley entrance.

Natsuki Subaru paused for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes.

Behind the three thugs, a girl with wild and unruly blond hair, wearing heavy crimson armor, suddenly appeared.

She carried an exaggeratedly large sword on her shoulder with one hand, her emerald green eyes filled with disgust as if she were looking at trash.

Mordred.

As a knight of the Round Table, although she was rebellious, what she despised most were these bullies and thugs.

"Who...who are you? Mind your own business! Believe me, we'll take you down with us..."

The thug in charge hadn't finished speaking.

"Bang!"

Mordred didn't even use his sword; he delivered a powerful whip kick, striking the thug in the stomach with a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.

"Pfft—!"

Before the thug could even scream, he was sent flying more than ten meters away like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the brick wall at the end of the alley, creating a human-shaped dent in the wall. He immediately lost consciousness.

The remaining two thugs were so frightened that they dropped their daggers to the ground, their legs went weak, and they knelt down, trembling like leaves.

"We're so sorry! We'll never do it again! Please spare us, heroine!"

"roll!"

Mordred uttered a single word coldly.

The two thugs were overjoyed and scrambled out of the alley, not daring to look back even once.

"Ooooooo!!!"

Natsuki Subaru, who had been huddled in the corner, now had eyes that looked like stars.

He looked at the red-armored, blonde-haired girl in front of him, and trembled with excitement.

"It's here! The quintessential isekai trope! A tsundere, beautiful female knight steps in to save the protagonist when he's in danger! Is this my cheat code?! Is this my heroine?!"

He rushed forward excitedly, opening his arms to hug Mordred.

"Thank you so much, Knight! My name is Natsuki Subaru! Are you also here to team up with me to save the world...?"

"Huh? Do you want to die, you idiot in a tracksuit?"

Mordred was completely bewildered by this guy's sudden outburst, but her body's instinctive resistance made her raise her foot without hesitation and kick Natsuki Subaru precisely in the knee.

"Awoo!"

Natsuki Subaru screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching his knees, tears streaming down his face from the pain.

"Ouch! Why is the female lead's attack power so high?!"

"Who's your leading lady?! If you dare take another step near me, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Mordred glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Luo Chen, Morgan, and Artoria, who were slowly walking into the alley, and her tone instantly became obedient.

"Dad, the trash has been cleaned up. But there's a human here who seems to be mentally unstable."

"Dad... Dad?!"

Hearing this address, Subaru Natsuki, who was lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head.

When he saw the three people walking into the alley, his already shocked brain completely shut down.

The man in black walking in the very middle.

That terrifying aura that seemed to devour even the surrounding light, those cold, condescending eyes that regarded everything as ants.

And there were two women with him... one blonde and one silver, both stunningly beautiful but with completely different temperaments.

"This...this art style is off!"

Natsuki Subaru roared inwardly.

"These aren't companions from another world! This is clearly the final boss on patrol with his demon king's guard! Did I jump straight to the final stage right from the start?!"

Luo Chen ignored Subaru Natsuki on the ground.

His gaze did not linger on the "protagonist" in front of him, but went straight past him to the other end of the dark alley.

In Luo Chen's perception of [Intuition EX] and [Star Truth], an extremely faint but extremely twisted "jealousy" and "obsession" malevolent power, like a malignant sore, was tightly wrapped around the soul of this boy in sportswear.

That's the witch's curse.

It is also the origin of the time-reversing law of "death regression".

"Is it about forcibly reversing the timeline on a small scale by borrowing local world laws?"

Luo Chen's lips curled into an undisguised contemptuous sneer.

"The method is so crude, it's like forcibly cutting film with scissors and then gluing it back together. Compared to true third magic and absolute authority, this inferior save-loading system that relies on consuming soul reserves is simply a joke."

Just then.

"Stop! Give me back my badge!"

A clear, anxious, yet melodious girl's voice suddenly came from outside the alley.

Immediately afterward, a half-elf girl with beautiful, cascading silver hair, wearing a gorgeous purple and white dress, and possessing dazzling purple eyes rushed into the alley, panting heavily.

Emilia.

However, when she rushed into the alley and saw what was inside, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She had originally come here chasing after the blond thief (Felt) who stole her badge, but now her attention was completely drawn to the man in black standing in the middle of the alley.

It wasn't just her.

On Emilia's shoulder, Puck, the little cat sprite who was leisurely grooming his fur, suddenly bristled like steel needles the moment he saw Luo Chen and Morgan!

"Lia! Don't move!"

Parker didn't even bother to maintain his cute mascot disguise; his voice carried an extreme tremor from the depths of the great elf's soul, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

"Don't go near them! Those people... no! That man!"

"He's simply not someone this world can tolerate! That magic... is ten thousand times more terrifying than that 'Witch of Jealousy'!!!"
