Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

The gods had never seen Uranus so out of control, and they all wore expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

They wanted to see it too, but Hestia and Artemis stopped them.

Hermes, that sly fellow, knew how to find opportunities and angles, and in a fleeting glimpse, he saw something extraordinary.

After a long while, Uranus finally took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "That's enough... put your clothes on."

Yingping dressed again and noticed that Uranus's expression was uncertain, as if he was contemplating some important decision.

"Uranus, please, please let Artemis remain in the underworld!"

Hestia suddenly raised her voice: "Do you remember back in the Celestial Realm, the time you owed us a few favors?"

"That time, if Artemis and I hadn't been there, and if there hadn't been others helping to cover for you, you probably would have..."

"Cough cough!"

Uranus suddenly coughed violently, a rare hint of embarrassment appearing on his dignified face: "Hestia, let's not dwell on the past..."

Hermes chuckled to himself, but immediately stopped after being glared at by Uranus.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more relaxed.

Yingping then realized that these seemingly high and mighty gods actually had a friendship spanning hundreds of millions of years.

Their relationship was much closer and more amicable than they had imagined.

Uranus sighed, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the gods: "You all... you always put me in such a difficult position."

He pondered for a moment before finally speaking slowly: "Artemis's situation is indeed special. After triggering the rule of being sent back to the heavens, she actually managed to circumvent it by splitting her soul."

"Well, taking into account Ying Ping's special circumstances, his merit in saving the lower realm, and..."

He closed his eyes and said helplessly, "In principle, I can only make an exception for certain old matters this time."

Hestia was instantly overjoyed: "Really?"

"That's true, Artemis can stay in the lower realm, but..."

Uranus added seriously, "There are a few more conditions."

Upon hearing this, Hestia was immediately overjoyed, and Artemis breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Ping immediately straightened his back and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Lord Uranus, please state your conditions."

Uranus slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had regained their former depth.

"First, your true rank must be kept strictly confidential, at least at this stage."

"Secondly, you need to assist the guild in handling some special events."

"third..."

Uranus paused, then said, “Hestia, at the appropriate time, I need your Hestia Familia to represent Orario and travel to Dragon Valley on the other side of the continent to resolve one of the three great world quests: the Black Dragon.”

Hestia, hands on her hips, said smugly, "No problem! My Lord Yingping is invincible! I, Hestia, will definitely take on this task!"

Yingping nodded solemnly: "I have no objection."

Uranus continued, "Gentlemen, please remember that the contents of today's conversation must be kept strictly confidential. If anyone leaks it, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future."

The gods all nodded in agreement, but the way they looked at Yingping changed—

It was a gaze that mixed reverence, curiosity, and anticipation.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

"The merit and reward of the Hestia Familia for saving the lower realms must be revoked. I want to use this as a reason to persuade the other gods."

"Winning, Hestia, Artemis, can you accept this?"

Uranus asked again.

Yingping and Hestia exchanged a glance and nodded without hesitation: "We accept."

Artemis bowed respectfully: "In any case, I am very grateful for your forgiveness, Lord Uranus."

Uranus's conditions seem quite harsh.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that there are no rewards, but also no punishments.

It is now a given that Artemis will remain in the lower realm.

As for Uranus's requests to deal with the black dragon, or other commissions, Ying Ping would have had to do them sooner or later even if he hadn't asked.

Uranus's expression finally softened: "Very well, then let's leave it at that."

"Great!"

"Uranus! You old man, you almost scared me to death!"

Hestia cheered and almost waved her hand to hit Uranus, but Hephaestus pulled her back in time.

Uranus's lips curled up slightly, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes: "Alright, go forth, young legendary adventurers and gods, the future of Orario and even the Netherworld is in your hands."

As Yingping and his group left the altar, the sunlight shone directly onto the plaza in front of the guild.

In the distance, Chizuka and Kokoro were waiting anxiously.

"Owner!"

Seeing that Yingping and Artemis had appeared unharmed, Kokkoro was the first to rush over.

Yingping opened his arms and gave her a big hug, smiling as he said, "Everything went smoothly. Artemis can continue to stay in the lower realm."

"Great!"

"Finally, I won't have to be separated from my goddess anymore!"

The girls cheered.

Artemis stood to the side, watching this heartwarming scene, her eyes brimming with tears of happiness.

"Artemis, that's wonderful..."

Hestia quietly took her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and then embraced Artemis.

"Master, what are your plans next?"

Elena blinked and asked in a clear voice.

"Is that even a question—"

"Of course, we'll go to the dungeon and keep fighting monsters!"

"Fellow members of the Hestia Familia, follow me!"

Ying Ping couldn't help but chuckle, raising the Hestia Sword and declaring with high spirits.

"Oh!"

"set off!"

The girls were all full of fighting spirit.

Chapter 55 King's Domain, Flying Thunder God Technique! [Seeking Flowers]

After entering the dungeon.

Yingping led the Hestia clan's forces, rampaging through the building.

With all members possessing the formidable strength of LV20, they rapidly advanced downwards, quickly surpassing their previous exploration progress.

The group suddenly found themselves on the 17th floor—the white maze.

"According to the guild's intelligence, the leader of this floor is named Griaus, who was recently defeated by the Loki Familia, who are on an expedition."

"Irena said, flipping through the map."

Chizuka pouted and kicked at the pebbles on the ground: "What a pity, I wanted to see what the floor masters of the dungeon look like."

"There will be a chance."

Yingping said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire white maze suddenly began to shake violently!

"what happened?!"

Takina immediately nocked an arrow and became alert.

With a deafening roar, the Wailing Wall in front of them shattered!

A colossal object, tens of meters tall, burst through the wall—

It was a giant monster covered in black armor, its scarlet eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.

【Glias Armed Mutant】

[Level: LV20]

【Features: Human intelligence, extremely high dual resistance, super healing power】

"Wow, that's a really strong sense of oppression..."

Chizuka's eyes widened: "This monster is completely different from the ones we've encountered before! I can sense that it's very strong!"

Seeing the prompt on the system panel, Yingping was also shocked.

LV20?!

This monster is far stronger than the Black Dragon, one of the three major quests in the DanMachi world!

[Dungeon Day 1 Quest Triggered: Defeat the Griath Mutant]

[Reward: 20 experience points, skills: Monarch's Domain, Flying Thunder God Technique]

Ying Ping's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "You all step back, I'll deal with this monster by myself."

"Owner!"

Kokkoro cried out anxiously, "At least let me and Miss Elaina bestow your blessings!"

There is no need for that at the moment.

Ying Ping drew the Immortal Blade, Wujianye, from his back; the blade glowed with an eerie red light. 433

He muttered to himself, "I want to test just how strong I really am now."

Ying Ping charged straight at the monster and instantly activated multiple skills:

"Killing intent locked on!"

Shadow Step!

"Disabling blow!"

"Charge a powerful attack!"

"Blade Storm!"

"Lightning Enchantment!"

Then there's—the inherent four times speed!

In everyone's eyes, Ying Ping's figure disappeared instantly, and the terrifying sonic boom was delayed before suddenly exploding!

"The industry cycle!"

The next second, a terrifying blade of black and red light, accompanied by the phantom of blooming mandalas, slashed across Griaus's waist.

"Sizzle—!"

"Roar!!!"

The monster let out a deafening scream and crashed to the ground.

Its entire waist was almost severed, and black blood gushed out like a waterfall.

Although the monster possesses superhuman healing abilities, these abilities are completely rendered ineffective by the Mortal Blade's strikes.

"Ha, even such a strike couldn't kill you."

Ying Ping sneered, teleported behind the monster, and uttered a soft shout: "Dragon's Blood Devouring!"

"Pfft!"
