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

Inside Cripper Fortress, the terrifying pressure that almost froze the space receded like a tide as Luo Chen and the others turned and left.

Only when the heavy, carved door slammed shut with a "click" did the stagnant air in the hall begin to move again.

"Huff... Haa..." Bronya suddenly knelt down on one knee, panting heavily.

Her pride in her Silver Mane Iron Guard discipline completely crumbled after the man in black left.

Only then did she realize that her back was already soaked in cold sweat, and even the fingers holding the musket were spasming uncontrollably.

"Mother..." Bronya struggled to lift her head, looking at Cocolia behind the desk: "Who...who are those people? Why was even Jepard powerless against them? What do they mean by 'Star Core' and 'Destruction'?"

Cocolia did not answer immediately.

The Great Guardian was slumped back in his chair, his face, which usually maintained a cold and dignified demeanor, now showing an unusual paleness.

She didn't look at Bronya, but stared intently at her own hands.

In her mind, the "voice of the star core" that had accompanied her for more than a decade, whispering to her day and night and bewitching her to push Beloborg into the abyss of destruction, was now as silent as if it were dead.

The supreme cancer of all realms, upon sensing the high-dimensional cosmology emanating from that man, chose the most humiliating method—playing dead.

"Mother?" Bronya raised her voice with some concern when she received no response.

"...Don't worry about them."

Cocolia closed her eyes, her voice terribly hoarse: "Pass on my order... to withdraw the warrants for these individuals."

Under no circumstances are any Silvermane Iron Guards permitted to initiate an attack against them.

"They are beings we cannot touch."

The fate of this planet... has slipped out of the control of the Great Guardians of the past.

Bronya was stunned.

She had never seen her mother with such a helpless, even resigned, expression.

Did that man in black, merely by standing here and saying a few words, completely shatter the backbone of the supreme ruler of Beloborg?

……

Meanwhile, outside Cripper Fort, the snow continued to fall.

"Wow... Boss, you were absolutely awesome just now!" Xing followed behind Luo Chen, her eyes shining as she gestured to the pose Luo Chen had just made, his hands braced on the table. "That so-called Great Guardian was scared green with fear! I thought you were going to just punch that castle down!"

"It's easy to demolish that castle, but if we mess up the city's heating system, the civilians up there won't survive tonight's blizzard."

Luo Chen put his hands back into his trench coat pockets, looking as relaxed as if he had just gone for a visit next door: "Besides, the real cancer isn't in the sky, it's on the ground."

"If you dig out the star's core and crush it, the planet's ailment will naturally be cured."

"But... Mr. Luo Chen."

Dan Heng walked to the side and slightly behind, his brows furrowed: "You just declared war on the Great Guardian, which is tantamount to cutting off all our official aid in the Upper Zone."

The underground area of ​​Belleburg has been sealed off for many years, and it is inaccessible through ordinary passages.

How do we get to the lower level?

"Oh dear, isn't it my turn to shine now!"

As soon as Dan Heng finished speaking, a cloud of purple smoke suddenly exploded from the snowdrift next to them with a "bang".

Sambo Koski rubbed his hands together, bowing and scraping as he emerged from the smoke, a standard, smug, and obsequious "joyful" smile on his face: "My esteemed heroes! Uncle Luo Chen! I'm a professional guide! Although the official passages are blocked, there's not a single ventilation duct or abandoned mine in this entire Beloborg that I, old Sambo, don't know!"

"If you gentlemen don't mind, I'll take you straight to the lower level via the 'express elevator'!"

"You little gutter rat, you're quite the opportunist."

Luo Chen glanced at him, a cold, all-knowing glint flashing in his crimson-gold vertical pupils: "Lead the way."

If your "express elevator" dares to cause any trouble, I'll stuff you into the Earth Core Reactor as fuel.

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not! I wouldn't dare cheat you even if you gave me ten lives!" Sangbo trembled with fear and patted his chest repeatedly to assure him.

He's genuinely scared now.

As the Masked Fool, he had seen plenty of fun and done plenty of things that could lead to his death, but the man before him was definitely an "ultimate bug" that was beyond the comprehension of the Star God of Pleasure.

In the face of absolute violence, all amusement is tantamount to courting death.

Led by Sambo, the group bypassed the Silvermane Iron Guards' patrol routes and arrived at an abandoned furnace core passage buried in ice and snow on the edge of the city.

With a sickening mechanical creak, the old elevator slowly descended into the bottomless abyss, carrying the five people.

The temperature miraculously began to rise as it was dropping, but the air was filled with a pungent smell of rust and the sulfurous odor of burning earth marrow.

"bite--"

As the elevator slammed heavily onto the cushioning pad at the bottom, Sambo forcefully pushed open a rusty iron gate.

"Welcome to the Lower District, everyone! This is Rocky Town!" Sambo made an extremely exaggerated welcoming gesture.

Unlike the cold but clean and orderly streets of the upper district, what appeared before everyone was an underground town full of cyberpunk wasteland atmosphere.

The dim light of the miners' lamps flickered faintly on the rusty steel supports, and the crisscrossing pipes were exposed like the blood vessels of a city.

The streets were lined with makeshift tents made of scrap metal and canvas, and occasionally you could see a few emaciated miners wrapped in tattered coats hurrying by.

It was oppressive and barren, yet it exuded a tenacious vitality like weeds.

"The air here... is so heavy."

March 7th covered his nose, looking around at the surroundings with some discomfort: "It's like a completely different world from up here."

"Because all resources have been cut off."

However, the people here are much more resilient than those guys up there who only obey the High Guardian's orders.

Sambo shrugged, about to continue his explanation.

"Boss! Look at that!" Xing suddenly looked like he had discovered a new continent, his eyes fixed on a dirty metal barrel not far away, and his feet moved over uncontrollably.

"That design! That metallic texture! And that faint smell of kitchen waste! This is definitely a high-end blind box unique to the lower level area—the 'Earth Marrow Trash Can'!"

"...In March, grab her."

There were faint black lines throbbing on Luo Chen's forehead.

He simply couldn't understand why this galactic baseball batter with a star core inside him would have such a perverse obsession with trash cans.

"Huh?! Why me?!" March 7th frantically grabbed Xing from behind, pulling her back with all her might. "Xing! Wake up! That's a trash can! There are no rare items or credit points in it! Just moldy slag!"

"Let me go! What if there's golden light inside? I want to draw a card!" Xing struggled frantically.

"Pfft."

Seeing this comical scene, Luo Chen shook his head helplessly.

But in the next second, the smile on his face vanished slightly, and his crimson-gold vertical pupils glanced very naturally toward the shadow of the pile of abandoned containers a few dozen meters to his right.

"Stop hiding, little wildcat."

Luo Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly drowned out the surrounding noise of the exhaust fans and accurately reached the depths of that shadow: "Although your breathing was very low, the quantum fluctuations carrying murderous intent were as blinding to me as a searchlight in the dark."

"What? Enemies?!" Dan Heng immediately gripped Ji Yun tightly, his blue eyes warily looking in the direction Luo Chen indicated.

He hadn't even noticed anyone there!

"Tch, pretty sharp intuition, huh? Someone from up there."

Accompanied by an extremely cold female voice, exuding a wild and arrogant air, a purple afterimage flashed out from behind the container like a ghost.

Swish!

It was a swift advance, as light as a butterfly flitting among flowers, yet carrying a deadly intent.

The girl had short purple hair and wore a slightly worn but extremely practical blue and white combat suit, with a bright red scarf around her neck.

But what's most striking is the enormous, heavy scythe in her hand, so disproportionate to her petite frame.

Seele, a core member of the [Earthfire] faction and the sharpest blade in the lower zone.

"No matter how you bypassed the Iron Guards to sneak in here, the Lower District does not welcome the lackeys of the Upper District!" Seele's figure drew a purple streak in mid-air, and her huge scythe, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, went straight for Luo Chen's neck, who was walking at the front.

"Get back inside!!"

"Watch out!" March 7th exclaimed in alarm.

however.

Faced with this incredibly swift and powerful scythe strike.

Luo Chen didn't even take his hands out of his pockets.

He simply stood there quietly, watching as the sharp scythe blade was less than five centimeters away from his neck.

"--stop."

Accompanied by a very casual syllable uttered by Luo Chen.

hum! ! !

Space, frozen.

It wasn't that time stopped, but rather that the physical laws surrounding Luo Chen were forcibly rewritten.

Seele's scythe, powerful enough to cut through steel, seemed to strike an invisible iron wall formed by high-dimensional gravity.

The immense recoil not only caused the scythe to let out a mournful cry, but also caused Seele to lose her balance in mid-air, her hands going numb from the shock.

"What?!" Seele's violet pupils suddenly contracted.

How is this possible?! She clearly didn't hit anything, so why did the scythe stop?! And there wasn't even a trace of energy fluctuation from her?!

Just as she lost her balance, Luo Chen finally moved.

He extended his right hand, the movement not fast, but with an absolute sense of oppression that made you know he was going to grab you, yet you had no way to escape.

Snapped.

Luo Chen precisely pinched Xi'er's slender nape, as if he were pinching a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Ugh... Let me go! Bastard!" Seele struggled desperately, trying to swing her scythe back in retaliation, but she was horrified to discover that in this man's palm, all the quantum magic power in her body seemed to have been drained, and she couldn't muster even a trace of it!

"The speed is good, and the movements are also very neat."

It's like a self-taught method forged through crawling and rolling among piles of corpses.

Luo Chen lifted Xi'er with one hand and pulled her in front of him, looking down at her delicate face filled with stubbornness and unwillingness. A playful smile appeared on his lips: "Your eyes are fierce too, like a stray cat guarding its food."

"However, your claws are not sharp enough."

"If you want to hurt me, go train for tens of thousands of years."

"Who...who exactly are you?!" Xi'er gritted her teeth, staring intently at Luo Chen.

She grew up in the lower districts and had seen all sorts of thugs and monsters from different realms, but she had never seen anyone like this before.

This man didn't possess the nauseating arrogance of the upper class; instead, he exuded an absolute dominance that seemed to trample everything underfoot.

"We're not lackeys of the upper echelons, Miss Seele!" Seeing things were about to escalate, Sambo scrambled over to smooth things over: "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! This is Master Luo Chen, and these are nameless passengers from the Starry Sky Train! They're important figures who came specifically to resolve the troubles on this planet! I, old Sambo, can vouch for them with my integrity!"

"Your 'personality' isn't even worth half a credit in the lower tiers, Sambo."

Seele gave him a cold glare, then looked at Luo Chen again, her tone slightly softer but still wary: "Star Train? Nameless Guest? I've heard rumors about you."

But if you're here to help, why use such a brutal method?

"Rough?" Luo Chen chuckled and released his grip.

Seele landed steadily on the ground, rubbed her sore neck, and took two steps back warily.

"If I had been really rough, you and that scythe would have been crushed into a mural in this earth marrow mine by now."

Luo Chen withdrew his hand, ignoring Xi'er's hostility, and calmly cut to the chase: "I don't have time to play cops and robbers with you here."

"Take us to your leader, Natasha."

"Or maybe it's that tin can hiding in the mechanical tribe, Swallow."

"How...how do you know about Natasha and Swallow?!" Seele was truly shocked.

Information about the lower levels has always been strictly blocked. How could these people who just came down from above know so much?

There is nothing in this world that I do not know.

Luo Chen crossed his arms, his crimson-gold eyes reflecting the dim underground city: "Since you 'Earthfire' have always wanted to overthrow the oppression of the upper district and dispel the winter brought by this star core..."

"Now, the one who can break the deadlock has arrived."

Luo Chen looked at Xi'er, his languid aura gradually disappearing, replaced by a kingly aura that made people want to submit: "Lead the way, little wildcat."

"Take me to see Natasha."

Then, I will smash open the door to the star core for you.

Seele stared blankly at the man.

Although reason tells her that she shouldn't easily trust people of unknown origin.

But the man's eyes, that absolute confidence that seemed to be able to crush even the starry sky with his bare hands, actually stirred a strange... expectation in her heart, which had been tense all along?

"……I see."

Seele took a deep breath, put away her scythe, and turned her head away to hide the strange look in her eyes: "Since that slippery Sambo has said so, I'll believe you this time."

"Come with me."

Natasha's clinic is just up ahead.

"But..." Seele suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at Luo Chen: "Don't call me 'little wildcat' anymore! My name is Seele!"

"Okay, little wildcat."

Luo Chen nodded readily in agreement.

"You bastard—!!!"

Watching Seele, who was starting to get angry again, and Luo Chen, who looked completely at ease, Xing rubbed his hands excitedly from behind: "Boss's flirting skills are simply a game-changer! Dan Heng, you should learn from him! Otherwise, you'll be stuck with your spear for the rest of your life!"

"...I don't have such worldly desires."

Dan Heng turned his head expressionlessly, feeling that the style of this team was heading in some indescribable direction.
