Anime Crossover: I Became the Bull Demon King in My Own Land

As a god who leans towards evil, he prefers to see people fall into depravity.

However, mere indulgence could not pique his interest.

One must be like Dix, possessing a twisted will, seeking liberation for oneself in a completely wrong way.

This process of believing in oneself while gradually heading towards destruction is something Icarus finds endlessly fascinating.

They clearly grew and constantly surpassed themselves, yet in the end, they reached their dead end.

Such a strange and ridiculous life is created by the ignorance and folly unique to ordinary people.

"...As expected of a god, he is indeed quite arrogant."

Eugene gazed at the top of the tower and murmured to himself.

He really wanted to meet this guy with a wicked sense of humor.

I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when he collides with his own ideas?

Eugene climbed the steps, and the Icarus Familia members around him bowed their heads to make way for him.

As he walked, his figure swept past a patch of shadow.

When it reappeared, it had already transformed into the appearance of Dix!

After navigating the winding staircase to the top of the tower, Eugene pushed open the wooden door.

At the top of the not-so-wide tower, a slender figure came into his view.

A man with dark blue hair and a sallow complexion, looking as gloomy as a drug addict, turned around.

"Yo, Lord Icarus."

Eugene greeted him, but there was no respect in his tone.

"You're still so carefree."

"It wouldn't matter if we all died, would it?"

Icarus looked at Dickkins in front of him, and a hint of astonishment was revealed in his heavily rimmed eyes and brows.

It seems he didn't expect that this guy would actually come back.

Although Dix was missing, the members of his clan believed he was completely dead.

"Ha, I thought you were really dead."

He stood up, squinted, and stared at the unharmed, unruly man, marveling at his appearance.

Although he appeared to have been deceived, Eugene knew that the gaze of the gods was special.

As superior beings who transcend the mortal realm, each of them possesses the divine power to split mountains and part seas.

Even if it's sealed, it can still see through a person's soul.

Icarus is not a renowned deity, nor does he possess Freya's ability to directly observe the texture of souls.

But he still has the basic ability to distinguish lies.

"To be honest, I was really worried about you, Dix."

The god's lips curled up, his eyes mocking: "After all, you are my favorite child."

"Tsk, stop pretending."

Eugene mimicked Dix's usual tone, speaking with a mix of sarcasm and dissatisfaction.

"You don't care even if your clan is destroyed."

"Haha, how could that happen?"

Icarus shrugged and spread his hands, his words revealing no sincerity whatsoever.

His gaze swept back and forth over Eugene, trying to discern something.

The imitation of transformation magic is perfect, but even if it is an exact replica of the person, if the timing of the appearance is wrong, it will arouse suspicion.

Eugene didn't expect to actually fool a god.

He just wanted to see how long he could hold out using his persuasive skills.

Dealing with gods may not be dangerous, but it sounds like a really cool thing.

Moreover, from a long-term perspective, this can also lay the groundwork for his future confrontation with Freya.

"Where have you been all this time?"

Icarus did not seem to intuitively perceive the differences between souls.

So he changed tactics and used a lie detector test to determine Eugene's true identity.

"I have my own place to go, and it's none of your business."

Eugene skillfully deflected the attack with seemingly useless rhetoric.

A lie detector can only distinguish between truth and falsehood, but if it's nonsense, then even if a result is obtained, nothing can be analyzed!

"Huh? Is this the attitude of your own supreme god?"

Icarus was still not giving up and seemed to want to put on airs to intimidate others.

But Eugene knew that this guy had never had any authority within the clan.

"Ha." He sneered, "What face are you trying to save at a time like this?"

"Speaking of which, you're not suspecting me, are you?"

"It's ridiculous that a god has to rely on lie detectors to distinguish his own followers."

Eugene's bluntness immediately stunned Icarus.

However, half a second later, he returned to that relaxed expression, and his tone became casual again.

"Okay, okay, I was overthinking it."

"I don't know what happened to you, but you seem to be quite irritable."

"..."

Eugene remained silent, his meaning clear without a word.

He put on a gloomy expression, as if someone had touched a sore spot he didn't want to talk about.

"That's my private matter, so please don't ask."

Icarus completely believed this vengeful reaction.

In his eyes, Dix was a person who couldn't stand the slightest grievance. He had lived his whole life under the curse of his bloodline, and therefore, he couldn't tolerate any other constraints.

Doing numerous unscrupulous things is a reflection of this temperament.

And when such an arrogant guy suffers a severe blow.

Therefore, he would not want others to know, because it would be a disgrace to him.

Furthermore, he will certainly resort to any means to retaliate, even if it is unfair.

"Hehe, although I don't know who it is, he's unlucky to have offended you."

· ·······Requesting flowers···· ·

Icarus looked at "Dix," whose resentment was practically overflowing, and was very curious about what had happened to him.

However, he would prefer to see Dix gradually go mad.

"So, you came to me because you want my help?"

"...I want the 'Chronicles of Daedalus'."

Eugene's request made Icarus's eyes widen.

Dix regarded this book, which recorded the family's precious efforts over a thousand years, as nothing more than waste paper.

If Icarus hadn't deliberately preserved it, it would have been burned by Dix.

"That guy is looking for this."

"I need it to be useful."

Eugene's two statements are also true!

Whether it's "that guy" or "me," it all refers to Eugene himself.

Lie detectors rely on the mental responses of the person being questioned. If Eugene's expression is clever enough, he can perfectly circumvent this mechanism!

"roar~"

 …

Looking at Eugene's earnest gaze, Icarus hesitated for a moment before walking towards the door.

He led Eugene to his bedroom and took out the precious book from a hidden compartment by the bedside.

"You won't break it, will you?"

He stared at Eugene, his eyes gleaming.

"Who can guarantee that?" Eugene said impatiently, taking the bag and stuffing it roughly into his fanny pack.

If he had ulterior motives, these details would not have escaped Icarus's notice.

Just as Eugene turned to leave.

Icarus, still unwilling to give up, called out to him.

"Are you really Dicks?"

Without any hesitation, Eugene raised his hand and began chanting an incantation into the air.

Lose yourself in endless fantasy—Phaberthor Daedalus!

In an instant, black cursed lightning leaped in the air, and an ominous aura swept over us!

Anything can be faked.

But the aura of magic is irreplaceable!

"You're so annoying."
