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

A meaningful glint flashed in Uranus's deep eyes.

"Lord Yingping...is this what you wanted?"

"I didn't expect even Freya to stand by your side. Just how many more surprises can you bring to the lower realm?"

Chapter 69 Finally, I stood at the pinnacle of Orario! [Please subscribe]

The entire city's attention is focused on the giant magic circle in the central square of Orario.

Guild Chief Administrator Royman, holding a golden scepter, spoke in a hoarse voice that echoed through the silent air:

"According to the rules of the war game, and witnessed by the gods of heaven, Freya voluntarily becomes a subordinate god of Hestia—"

Freya, dressed in a long silver-purple dress, knelt on one knee under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

She gracefully took Hestia's small hand and kissed her fingertips: "Please take care of me from now on, Hestia, my dear Goddess~"

Hestia puffed out her chest triumphantly, the blue ribbon swaying gently with her movements: "Don't worry, Freya! You'll still live a life of luxury with me, the goddess!"

Loki, standing to the side, had his hands bound by magical shackles, his long red hair disheveled.

When Royman announced that Loki would become Hestia's slave as the defeated god, she glared at Freya through gritted teeth and continued to curse, "You damned traitor!"

“Oh dear, what kind of talk is that, Loki?”

Freya covered her mouth and chuckled: "Now that I'm in a higher position than you, you should call me Lady Freya, shouldn't you?"

Hestia, hands on her hips, said proudly, "Loki, don't forget that from now on, you'll have to call me the esteemed Lady Hestia!"

"You, you all!"

Loki was so angry he almost vomited blood.

"Loki, if you don't want to be a slave, I can send you back to Heaven right now."

Ying Ping's calm voice came from behind, and the red-haired goddess immediately fell silent like a chicken being choked.

She hunched her neck and lowered her head, revealing the humiliating emblem of a slave contract prominently displayed on the back of her bare neck.

Although Loki became a slave, Hestia still regarded him as a subordinate god.

Although the Loki Familia has not disbanded, a considerable number of its members have already left.

For example, Finn and Grace, and Bert.

They took some members to other smaller clans, intending to expand their influence there.

After all, they were originally the backbone of LV6 and the Loki Familia, so the smaller Familia was naturally happy to take them in.

As for Ais, Riveria, the Amazon sisters, and Lefia, they have already transferred to the Hestia Familia.

None of the Freya Familia members left.

Seeing that their own god had become Hestia's person, these fanatical believers still chose to continue following the goddess of beauty.

However, from now on, the Freya Familia must also obey the orders of Hestia and Winping.

Now, Hestia has achieved its ultimate leap, becoming the dominant force in Orario and even the strongest Familia in the lower realms!

A large crowd gathered in front of the restaurant.

Countless adventurers, or newcomers to Orario, are scrambling to join this newly emerging and strongest familia.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but the Hestia Familia is not accepting new members at the moment."

Yingping stood on the steps and calmly announced.

Upon hearing this news, the people outside immediately lost their spirit and prepared to leave.

"but..."

Yingping then changed the subject: "The original Loki Familia and Freya Familia are still recruiting."

"Of course, both of these families are now part of our Hestia Familia. If you perform well enough, you can join the Hestia Familia in the future."

The crowd suddenly became commotion.

Although one cannot directly join the Hestia Familia, it is a great honor to become a member of its affiliated Familia!

Today, the Hestia Familia members have become the most powerful symbol of Orario!

Inside the hall, Hestia was comfortably nestled on the sofa, legs crossed.

"Loki, I want some tea!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Hestia."

Loki suppressed his anger, dressed in a maid's outfit, and carefully poured tea from the teapot.

"Wow, it's so cold!"

"Loki, you did this on purpose!"

Every complaint Hestia uttered made Loki's temples throb, but looking at Yingping standing not far away, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

When Ying Ping walked over, Loki immediately lowered his head, afraid of meeting his gaze.

Loki's chances are slim. Unless he's desperate and fights Hestia to the death, he'll be sent back to Heaven.

But Loki never had that opportunity.

Because she was constantly watched by the Freya Familia wherever she went, she wasn't even allowed to go shopping.

When they are in the same room with Hestia, Elena and the others, or Artemis, will help keep an eye on them.

If Loki dares to do anything, he will face severe punishment.

"Hestia, go help Ais update her stats, she's successfully leveled up."

Yingping held Hestia in his arms, kissed her cheek, and said.

"What? Aistan has leveled up to LV6?"

Loki couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Loki!"

Hestia immediately straightened her face and reprimanded, "Now do your job! These are not questions you should be asking!"

Loki opened his mouth, but in the end he could only lower his head and retreat to the side.

She stole a glance at the doorway—

Two level-one adventurers from Freya's Familia stood there, also staring at her menacingly.

In the courtyard, Ais, who had already accepted the sacred vow, stood quietly.

She has become Yingping's loyal servant and has been instantly boosted to LV22 by the Book of Experience.

Her blonde hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

After her combat power increased significantly, her entire demeanor seemed to become more ethereal and beautiful.

"Ais, Hestia is free right now, come and update her stats."

Yingping shouted.

Hestia's small hand, stained with divine blood, gently brushed across Ais's smooth back, and blue sacred characters slowly lit up.

As divine power was infused, the blessing script on Ais's back began to flow, recombine, and eventually coalesce into a completely new form.

"Okay, the update is complete."

"Congratulations, Ais, you have successfully leveled up to LV22."

Hestia remained remarkably calm.

Having experienced Ying Ping's monstrous stats, she no longer reacted particularly strongly to Ais's ordinary LV22.

“LV22...”

"Have I really reached this level?"

When the parchment was handed to Ais, the usually composed swordswoman's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Her golden pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at the striking line of text on the paper—

【LV5 LV22】

"I......"

After reading what was written on it, Ais's crystal tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.

She never imagined that the power she had always dreamed of would be obtained in this way!

"Congratulations, Ais."

Yingping smiled and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

"Ais, even if you gain power, don't be arrogant or complacent. Keep up the good work in the future!"

Hestia also gently embraced Ais.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ais could no longer remain calm. She hugged the two of them tightly and buried her face in Yingping's shoulder, sobbing silently.

This was the first time she had ever lost her composure like this, but no one would laugh at her—

Now that they are all family, Yingping and Hestia both understand what this power means to Ais.

"Master~"

Kokoro's voice came from the doorway.

She stood there with the Amazon sisters, Riveria, and Rafia.

"Miss Ais...why are you crying?"

Lefia looked at Ais with great confusion and unease, and felt very sorry for her.

Tiona, being the quickest, rushed forward and snatched the parchment from Ais's hand: "Let me see what's written on it..."

"Wait, wait! LV22?!"

Tiona's voice suddenly rose, almost cracking.

"Miss Ais, congratulations!"

Kokoro smiled sweetly and began to congratulate Ais.

"it is true!"

Upon reading the message on the parchment, Riveria's emerald eyes trembled violently: "Ais actually advanced from LV5 to this level in just a few days..."

"So this is the true hidden power of the Hestia Familia? It can make someone level up so many times in one go!"

Tiony murmured to herself, her eyes gleaming with longing.

Ying Ping looked around at everyone, cleared his throat, and said, "As we all agreed before, I hope you can all keep this matter strictly confidential and not tell anyone."

"As long as you show enough loyalty and contribution to the Hestia Familia, you will also have the same opportunity to become stronger."

Aside from Kokoro, this sentence made the girls present's hearts race, and they all promised not to tell anyone.

They looked at each other, and each saw an irrepressible excitement and anticipation in the other's eyes.

If even Ais could achieve such an amazing improvement in such a short time, then they can definitely do it too!

"We are so lucky..."

"Lefia said softly, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the hem of her skirt."

She simply couldn't imagine what opportunities she would have missed if she had refused Yingping's invitation back then.

Ais wiped away her tears, then suddenly turned and walked towards the door.

"Ais? Where are you going?"

Hestia exclaimed in confusion.

"Underground city".

Ais answered briefly, her voice filled with unprecedented determination, "I want to test my current power."

Yingping nodded knowingly, then called out, "Chizuka, Takina."

"exist!"
