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

"When something like this falls, it's impossible for it to protect itself."

"I've been looking forward to the wonders of the lower realm, but I was truly terrified today."

With a wry smile, Hermes shook his head and let out a long sigh, as if resigned to his fate.

"Cleverness is useless against absolute power."

· ·······Requesting flowers·· ···

He looked back at the city, which was on the verge of collapse, with a sense of loss, as if he had lost all interest.

Is this the end?

……

"My Lord God! My Lord God! Ahhh!"

The abandoned church terrified the gray-haired boy.

Berna's already wounded heart was now plunged into disillusionment.

As the divine arrow hung in the sky, he desperately hoped that someone would save him, just as they had on the day he was in danger.

But this small, illusory dream shattered into pieces with the retraction of the bowstring.

He collapsed to the ground, his dreams and spirit dead.

In such a situation, even a hero like Argo would be powerless to change the outcome.

However, the petite and serious-looking goddess never gave up.

She did her best to support the boy's body and kept encouraging him.

Unlike those old-fashioned gods.

.... .... 0

Bell was Hestia's first and most cherished companion.

She absolutely did not want to lose him.

I don't want this child to die for no reason!

"Good boy, Belle, good boy."

He stroked his hair affectionately, and this god, universally acknowledged as a good-for-nothing in the heavens, straightened his back.

She was utterly useless, she accomplished nothing—how long did this "eternity" last?

She couldn't remember clearly.

However, when she came to the mortal realm and for the first time marked the young man behind her with the mark of a retinue, she saw his joyful expression.

Hestia truly grasped the concept of "usefulness" at that time.

"thank you."

She spoke very seriously, enunciating each word clearly.

"Because of you, I experienced for the first time the happiness of being loved and respected as a god."

"I can't stop this, and I can't think of a way to save you."

"Honestly, even now, I'm still a completely useless person."

"But, but..."

A surge of divinity emanated from her body, and a beautiful radiance clung to Hestia's form, making her exquisite figure even more beautiful.

Those slightly immature features revealed an unprecedented tenacity and determination.

With his hands raised, divine power erupted, and the Fire God's twin ponytails shattered, transforming into a jet-black waterfall that floated in mid-air.

"I don't know where you came from, you wretched fellow."

"If you were to hurt my most, most, most adorable child..."

"Step over my dead body!!!"

boom!

The divine fire that reaches the heavens, accompanied by the tolling of the bells of hope, resounds through the clouds.

Despite being oppressed by boundless divine power, they were as powerless as a hair.

But this is what triggered a miracle.

The first spark...

396 Best friends are meant to give away freebies together.

Rebel! For your own sake, and even more so for those you cherish!

With such awareness, the neglected young goddess, despised by everyone in the divine realm, opened her arms towards the changing sky.

That warm, passionate, and unyielding flame shot into the sky in an instant, a symbol of divinity piercing straight into the clouds.

Yet it remained so weak.

Compared to the inverted world, where the entire world is enveloped by the terrifying, world-destroying arrow, the power of a mere god is so insignificant.

The divine light that once commanded the mortals to bow down in reverence now loses its luster in comparison.

"I know that too."

"I know I can't stop you in the slightest."

"But I just can't accept it!"

So simple and stubborn, Hestia's eyes welled with tears. Even with all her might, she couldn't delay this moment of parting, which made her both angry and sad.

Behind him, gazing at the petite yet immensely powerful goddess, Bell was speechless, unable to utter a single word.

The connection with his kin allowed him to feel the emotions of the Supreme God.

The boy desperately wanted to help her, but all he could do was pray.

But in this moment when even God is powerless to change the situation, is there really anyone who can respond to him?

"please!"

"Is anyone there? Anyone there? Come quick!"

……

Twilight Pavilion.

"This flame belongs to the little dwarf."

Loki, the god of mischief, looked utterly dejected, his fox-like eyes wide open, his red pupils reflecting the stubborn fire within them.

She, who delighted in teasing the gods in the heavens, was always at odds with Hestia.

Yet they also share a peculiar understanding of each other.

She understood her loneliness, and she understood her malice.

As everything came to an end, even the god of mischief lost the will to fight.

But that good-for-nothing otaku, whom everyone looked down on, actually did something so reckless and even foolish.

"..."

After a long while, Loki looked at the flames.

She silently turned around and glanced at the mansion where her family held so many memories.

I glanced again at those faces, each one transitioning from childish to mature.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing.

What's with this feeling?

God stood up and went forward.

Anyone who saw the blazing divine light surrounding that slender figure immediately cried out.

"My lords!" Loki turned around and gave his retinue a big smile.

Her expression was so radiant, as if it didn't belong to her at all, not to that cunning, lazy, and wicked god.

"Tell Finn, Riveria, and Gareth that you thanked them for that first encounter!"

“Tell Estan, Lefia, Tiona, and Tione! And all the wonderful girls! Thank you for giving me the best of times!”

"And to everyone here! Thank you! You've given Loki, the god of mischief, a family!"

The sentiment of parting was so strong that it brought tears to the eyes of many family members.

They were kept at bay by the violently undulating divine light and could not get close. When they came to their senses, a magnificent curtain had been woven above their heads.

Whether it works or not, who knows?

With a wry smile, Loki raised his hands without any further hesitation.

"Little dwarf, let me join you in causing a ruckus!"

Zheng!

The second divine light rose from the ground, as magnificent as the indomitable hearth fire!

……

"Hmph, I'm a little annoyed that they beat me to it."

In the territory of the Hephaestus Familia, surrounded by a group of tearful master craftsmen, the red-haired, one-eyed, and handsome Vulcan was the third to raise his hand.

As Hestia's only acknowledged friend, she too entered into that state of relief.

Even if not for the children, shouldn't we at least prove ourselves?

"Lord Hephaestus!"

Chun stood at the front of the crowd, sobbing uncontrollably, while in the group, the red-haired youth Welf was even more grief-stricken and unable to control himself.

One of them regarded her as a mother and mentor, while the other was someone they sincerely admired.

Little did they know that it was precisely this fervent emotion that inspired the gods to be determined to sacrifice everything to protect their loved ones.
