Anime Crossover: Starting with an Infinite Dragon God as a Mount

The contrast between the pale white fingers and the black chess pieces was striking.

Normally, even in recreational competitions, such young children would not be allowed to take the stage to compete.

But now, both the audience and the referees have unanimously ignored these points.

"Even if my opponent is the goddess of wisdom and victory, I don't think I will lose."

Su Mu casually placed the white chess piece on the chessboard, his nonchalant words revealing that he already knew the other party's identity.

········Requesting 0 flowers······

Athena did not obey.

They departed from mythology and descended into the world, wandering the earth.

The goddess, who seeks the "serpent"—the Gorgon Stone—and longs to return to her ancient form.

"Verbal battles are meaningless in determining victory or defeat, just as the outcome of battles is never determined by the words of commentators."

The goddess who refused to yield was equally unyielding in words.

She quickly placed her piece, at a speed no less than her opponent's.

"The Stone of Gorgon is not with me."

“Of course I know.” The goddess who refused to comply frowned, seemingly somewhat displeased. “But I am not a prisoner who merely pursues something fanatically.”

Neither of them spoke again.

0 0 ..

The venue was noisy, but the sound of chess pieces moving faster and faster like a torrential downpour was exceptionally clear.

So, what was the reason that this disobedient goddess would approach him?

"The Ballad of the Dragon".

It can significantly increase the favorability of dragons and snakes towards oneself.

It was because of this ability that Orpheus trusted him so easily in the first place.

Athena herself is the Earth Mother Goddess.

In ancient legends, it is also the incarnation of a dragon and a snake.

That might be one reason, but it's not entirely true.

Su Mu curled the corners of her lips.

However, he doesn't need to rack his brains to guess these things now.

Because his power is beyond the reach of wisdom.

For example, right now, if he gets impatient with this game of Go, he can flip the table at any time and force his opponent to admit defeat.

"Are you perhaps interested in me now?"

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.

"As far as I know, in mythology, Athena is also known as the mother of heroes, and her favorite thing is to guide many heroes."

“There are many discrepancies between the myths and reality…” Athena paused, “Although I am indeed interested in raising young lions.”

"But if it's a fully grown lion..."

"It will always be met with spears and shotguns."

Athena looked at the chessboard, her brows furrowed slightly, and with a somewhat displeased expression, she withdrew her hand.

The outcome is decided.

Su Mu pondered for a moment.

From Athena's words, he could sense a certain destiny. VI.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Crossing the Sea, the Hidden King

Su Mu's own desires and his own reasoning were constantly being nurtured.

In his mind, there were many "reasons".

It can restart the entire multiverse countless times as if rewinding, and is the eternal return of the Mercury Serpent, the god of the fourth heaven.

It can resurrect the dead throughout the universe countless times and continue to fight; it belongs to the highest heaven of the Asura Path, the first golden seat of the Black Round Table.

Transforming a fleeting moment into eternity, endlessly savoring and appreciating the essence of the instant.

Embracing good and evil alike, granting rebirth, is the reason possessed by the goddess of dusk.

......

The power to rationalize oneself into the laws of the real "847" world, covering the entire real universe, is the power of God.

This reasoning stems from one's own desires and aspirations; it is the embodiment of one's dreams and pursuits.

And Su Mu, of course, also had his own wishes in his heart.

"The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and the affairs of the world are uncertain," is a common saying.

As the saying goes, "The weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant."

The future is uncertain; whether it brings good fortune or misfortune is unpredictable.

This lack of regularity and unpredictability is what Su Mu dislikes most.

Su Mu hopes that things beyond his expectations and things he cannot control will cease to exist in this world.

He wanted to take complete control of his destiny.

As someone once said in the development of modern physics—God does not play dice.

Although this statement has been refuted by the development of physics, Su Mu sincerely hopes that he can become a God who does not play dice.

Whatever happens in the future, I can predict it, or rather, I can decide it myself.

There is no unknown life, no unknown future.

Many people might think that this kind of world is no different from hell.

However, Su Mu felt...

"This kind of future truly aligns with my aesthetic ideals."

He whispered.

I imagine many people would find this kind of future unacceptable.

Everything is subject to the will of one person.

Whether it's a person or something else, they are ultimately just puppets in his hands, their actions controlled by the thin threads extending from between him.

However, it doesn't matter.

Su Mu didn't care about such things at all.

Or rather...

If one lacks the resolve to trample upon the will of others, and indeed the will of countless people throughout the world, for the sake of one's own desires...

How can one reach a level that truly deserves to be called "god"?

At this time, Su Mu's "reason" began to take shape.

That is the ability to understand the principles of fate and to glimpse the crossroads of destiny.

Choices of the past, choices of the future.

Each time you take a different direction, whether intentional or unintentional, it will lead you in a different direction.

Su Mu closed his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

When one travels through time, one possesses multiple destinies and multiple possibilities.

Ultimately, the reality was that he had traveled to a world called "High School DxD".

But besides that, one also possesses different possibilities.

For example... going to the world you are in at the beginning.

God-killer.

"I see, no wonder that goddess's words sparked my inspiration..."

Su Mu whispered.

Because Athena's words inadvertently touched upon that missed, non-existent thread of fate.

That was the destiny of a boy from another world who, while traveling in this world, accidentally encountered a goddess.

"I see, it's a young lion. In mythology, I'm known as the 'Mother of Heroes,' so I'm somewhat interested in raising lion cubs." — These were the arrogant yet intriguing words of the goddess crowned with "wisdom and victory."

"It's actually quite interesting." Su Mu opened her eyes.

If his destiny was to come into this world at the very beginning, then he would probably eventually form a very close relationship with that goddess.

However, that was ultimately just a side path in fate that never happened.

Su Mu would feel a slight pang of regret for that non-existent fate, but he would not feel envy.

Because he is confident that he is now walking on the most perfect path of destiny.

Moreover, the relationship between him and that adorable dragon is absolutely no less significant than that of the goddess on that branch of destiny.

"Even so, it seems that Athena, not from version 3.4, is still secretly watching me?"

Su Mu frowned slightly, then relaxed.

This attention is not due to any so-called fate.

Even the goddess of fate in this world couldn't possibly grasp Su Mu's own destiny, let alone Athena, who was completely unrelated to fate.

What truly matters to her...

It was nothing more than the Dragon Ballad that attracted the infinitely cute dragon Orpheus during Su Mu's early growth stages.

"It seems I am destined to be a dragon killer."

Su Mu whispered.
