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

However, a look of confusion appeared on Sona's face.

"Little Cat... I remember she and Su Mu weren't on good terms, were they? Why would she say something like that?"

"Hehe, I was also very confused at first."

Rias gave a slightly sly smile, then leaned forward slightly and whispered in her friend's ear.

"Now that I think about it, it's probably a common problem among men. If you make him your dependent, you'd better be a little careful."

"This is none of your business."

"I'll talk to you," Sona said, her tone slightly stiff, sounding rather cold and unapproachable.

However, beneath her hair, her earlobes were slightly flushed.

"Of course there's some connection. After all, that guy and the kitten are quite close. If you could reincarnate him into a demon, it would be convenient for you later—"

Before she could finish speaking, both she and Shiki Sona opposite her were slightly dazed.

Then, the two of them, having come to their senses, exchanged a glance.

"This is...an illusion?"

"It seems so, but I have absolutely no recollection of what this illusion contained."

"We couldn't detect anyone approaching, which means either the opponent's strength far exceeds ours, or it's a long-range, wide-area illusion. Neither of those seems like something we can handle alone." Rias frowned, her expression serious, completely unlike her earlier nonchalant demeanor.

"Then, I'll go ask my sister for advice and see if I can get any clues."

"Okay, I'll ask my brother later if he has any clues either."

As high-ranking demons, the two could only recall having experienced hallucinations, and had no recollection of ever seeing the Kabbalah Tree.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, the four demon kings, whom the two demon girls sought help from, were gathered together.

"The only things I can remember are 'tree' and 'greatness'."

The foremost demon, the Transcendent Sazex, rubbed his temples with some trouble and spoke slowly.

“Similarly, trees and greatness.” Beelzebub, the demon king known as the wisest among demons and also a transcendent being, nodded solemnly.

“I’m even worse than you guys, I can only remember ‘greatness’.” Demon King Leviathan, Seraph looked sullen.

The last demon king also nodded slightly.

“I’m afraid something extraordinary has appeared in this world,” Sazex said with a wry smile. “The world has finally started to stabilize, but suddenly another variable has appeared. I don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a curse.”

At this moment, aside from demons, the celestial realm, fallen angels, and even the mythological figures of India, all were shaken by this sudden and utterly powerless illusion.

Chapter Nine: Wanting to Dye It White

(This chapter contains images, including a diagram of the Kabbalah Tree.)

The most excited person to face this "Kabbalah" tree was none other than Michael in the heavens.

Upon seeing that illusion, he almost burst into tears.

Although they looked completely unrelated, for some reason, he suddenly thought of the biblical god who had long since perished in the war between the three races.

He even had a somewhat disrespectful thought that this mysterious "number," in terms of its specifications, seemed to be far superior to his "master"!

This is because the Kabbalah tree itself is the "path to godhood," and this so-called god is far beyond what the biblical god of this world can compare to.

Although the God of the Bible in this world is also a wolf, he is nothing compared to the rest of the myriad worlds.

Noticing that he suddenly had some black feathers mixed in, Michael shook his head and quickly steadied himself to avoid falling into the clutches of a fallen angel.

You should know that the Celestial Realm still can't do without him.

If he, the actual leader of the celestial realm at this time, were to fall, then who knows how much turmoil and strife would be stirred up in the whole world.

Unaware of the immense sensation his fusion with the Kabbalah Tree had caused worldwide, Su Mu looked at Orpheus, whose gaze was burning with intensity, and felt a headache coming on.

The most memorable of these illusions were probably the Great Red in the dimensional rift and the Infinite Dragon God in front of Su Mu.

Orpheus was right in front of Su Mu at that moment, so he was naturally able to notice the changes in him.

“Comrade, this power—” Orpheus seemed to speak with some difficulty, “is very strong, far surpassing that red guy.”

"With this power, we will definitely be able to defeat it."

As he spoke, Orpheus clenched his fist cutely, clearly harboring deep resentment towards the Great Red for taking away his homeland.

Then, she looked at Su Mu with expectant eyes, grabbed his hand, and looked like she wouldn't let go until he agreed.

Seeing this, Su Mu felt somewhat helpless.

Compared to Orpheus now, he was definitely better when he first invited her to have a child with him.

To be honest, he also wanted to win the grand prize and crush the Great Red with a single Rainbow-level achievement.

“Ophis, although the power hidden within me is strong enough to defeat the Great Red, I can only mobilize a portion of it,” Su Mu said with some helplessness. “In the future, I may be able to use more power, but right now, the portion I can use is far from enough to help you defeat the Great Red.”

The Kabbalah Tree is the blueprint of the universe and the direct path for humanity to ascend from man to godhood.

However, receiving this reward does not mean that Su Mu has instantly become successful; he still has a long way to go.

Kabbalah has four worlds, ten elements, and 22 paths connecting the ten elements.

Knowledge related to the Kabbalah Tree also appeared in ACG works from the previous life.

For example, the eternal cycle system in the Day of Wrath of God—activity, formation, creation, and outflow—corresponds to the names of the four worlds in Kabbalah.

In addition, Date A Live also involves very basic Kabbalah knowledge, borrowing from the "Ten Primal Elements".

The ten elements of the Kabbalah Tree, from one to ten, are Crown, Wisdom, Understanding, Compassion, Severity, Beauty, Victory, Glory, Foundation, and Kingdom, which correspond to the various elves in the anime.

Furthermore, each point mass has its own guardian angel, whose name corresponds to the elves' weapon, "angel."

In addition, the 22 paths of the Kabbalah tree correspond to Tarot cards!

At this moment, the Kabbalah Tree is inside Su Mu's body.

The world at the very top is called the "Outflow World," the "Prototype World," or the "Divine World."

In the prototype realm, the primary substance known as the "Crown" is at the highest point. It is also the first of the ten primary substances, the highest in position. The others are Wisdom and Understanding.

If we rephrase the original elements and replace them with the corresponding Spirit names from Date A Live, directly mentioning Origami Tobiichi, Nia Honjou, Kurumi Tokisaki, etc., who are located in the "leaked" world...

I have a strange feeling for some reason.

The world at the bottom of the four worlds is the "Active World," or the "Material World."

In the material world, there is only one particle called "Kingdom," which is also the tenth particle.

At this moment, among the three pillars, four worlds, ten particles, and 22 paths of the Kabbalah Tree within Su Mu's body, only the "Kingdom" particle at the very bottom was shining, with the material world showing a slight light, while the other parts were completely dark.

However, this does not mean that Su Mu's power is actually weak at this time.

By igniting even the lowest level of primordial essence, his spiritual power had already grown to a level comparable to that of a mid-level demon.

In addition, the power inherent in the primordial substance itself is not necessarily inferior to that of a superior demon.

Furthermore, to put it bluntly... if you really push him to the limit, he could treat this planet as a bowling ball.

Of course, he also has to pay the price.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

Of course, the first thing to face is the Dragon God right in front of us.

“Then, let’s have children together,” Orpheus said calmly for the third time.

Su Mu has a strong will.

However, at this moment, I simply lack the willpower to refuse.

Besides... there doesn't seem to be any need to refuse, right?

(These chapters may have gone a bit too far in their introduction to Kabbalah, but it's the protagonist's main power system, and most people don't have much exposure to it, so a bit more detail was necessary. Also, to avoid inconsistencies later on, it's essential to maintain a stable power system.)

(By the way, this book will start with at least five chapters a day from now on. This is the best I can do as a weak, humble author with a slow typing speed, but I might add more chapters if I'm in a good mood.)

Who said this guy was stupid in Chapter Ten?

Orpheus was completely unaware of the psychological impact his words would have on Su Mu.

If an outsider were to see this, they would probably call the police immediately, right?

The Infinite Dragon God simply maintained the (0x0) expression, staring blankly at Su Mu.

Looking into those obsidian-like eyes, Su Mu felt it was better to agree.

Why go against your true inner desires for the sake of superficial appearances?

Such an adorable and powerful loli is a rare find in the world.

At this point, Orpheus was essentially a blank slate.

How could Su Mu resist the temptation and the urge to dye it his own color?

"can."

Su Mu smiled gently, unable to resist reaching out to ruffle Orpheus's soft hair, her tone gentle.

"I promise you, one day, I will have children with you."

Yes, one day.

Su Mu spoke with utmost sincerity.

However, his statement "one day" leaves much room for interpretation.

After all, Su Mu didn't want to create more burdens before he became strong enough.

Moreover... right now, Orpheus, who is as pure and innocent as a blank sheet of paper, probably has some discrepancies in her understanding of procreation compared to what Su Mu thought.

Looking at Orpheus's delicate and flawless face, Su Mu slowly began to explain to her.

Deception and trickery may be powerful tools, but if they can be avoided, there is no need for them to exist.

In particular, there is no need to use such methods when dealing with people who are willing to trust you.

Previously, this might have been unavoidable, but at least now, there's no need for it anymore.

"If you want to have strong offspring, then the offspring's talents and abilities may be related to both parents."

"In that case, if I want to obtain a truly powerful descendant, strong enough to defeat the Great Red, it's best to wait until I gradually master the power within myself. That way, the child born will also be stronger, right?"
