I'm in a crossover anime world, and I've been transported to Hogwarts twice.

Her beauty was breathtaking, transcending conventional definitions of beauty. Every line was perfectly proportioned, combining to create a face that exuded holiness, wisdom, and mature charm.

Especially those deep blue eyes, as if containing millennia-old ice crystals and an endless starry sea, so profound that they seemed to be able to see through all the truths of the world.

She wore a simple yet perfectly proportioned silver-white dress, exuding an extraordinary aura. She was none other than He Xi, the wise ruler of the Angelic Civilization and the Heavenly King.

Genichi Hanyu then raised his head, his gaze falling on Tsurugi's face, a face that could make any male lose his senses. However, there was no surprise or fluctuation in his black eyes. He simply raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a flat tone, "You were looking for me?"

It was as if they were just confirming something trivial.

He Xi seemed to be used to his indifferent attitude. She moved gracefully and sat down on a chair made of energy crystals in front of the desk, her posture elegant and composed.

"Since you won't come to me, I have no choice but to come to you."

She sighed softly, her tone tinged with resentment and helplessness, but deep within her insightful blue eyes lay a calm calculation.

Upon hearing He Xi's almost complaining words, Genichi Yuzuru's lips involuntarily curled into an undisguised, sarcastic smile.

That smile was faint, yet it stung like a needle.

He knew perfectly well why He Xi had come to him.

It's just that recently, Yu Shengxianyi has become less attentive to the Angel Civilization, to He Xi, and to the Queen of Gods, Keisha.

He devoted more attention and resources to building his own world, exploring its rules, and the new girl. He ignored, delayed, or even disregarded certain cooperation intentions, technology exchange requests, and even Keisha's subtle probing about deeper matters.

This change clearly made the angels, who were originally arrogant and used to dominating the various forces, especially the two supreme leaders, Keisha and Hexi, feel uneasy and anxious.

Genichi Hanyu could almost imagine their thoughts: they probably wanted to use the angel civilization's superior status, advanced technology, and the charm and value of Keisha and He Xi themselves to keep him hanging on, hoping to gain more initiative and political leverage in future cooperation.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated one thing. Genichi Hanyu has never been the type to follow someone else's script, nor does he fall for the "playing hard to get" tactic.

When he discovers that the other party is starting to play these kinds of tricks, his choice is simple and brutal—he kicks them aside and turns to find other more obedient or at least more direct collaborators and partners.

He, Genichi Hanyu, has no shortage of the technology of the Angelic Civilization, nor does he lack women.

The initiative can only ever be in his own hands.

Now, seeing that Genichi Hanyu's attitude is becoming increasingly indifferent, and even showing a tendency to completely marginalize the Angel Civilization, Keisha and He Xi, who were originally sitting on the sidelines, can no longer sit still.

"You have something to say."

Genichi Hanyu withdrew his mocking smile, his expression returning to its usual impassive calm. His tone was concise and cold, devoid of any warmth expected of a reunion with an old friend. He cut straight to the point, omitting even a superfluous pleasantry.

Upon hearing Yu Shengxianyi's blunt, even heartless, words, He Xi's exquisite face immediately revealed a perfectly poignant expression, her sapphire-like eyes seeming to be veiled with moisture, making her appear pitiful.

"You bastard..."

Her voice carried a hint of reproach and a hint of grievance.

"You think you can just turn your back on me now that you've put your pants on? You weren't like this when you needed me."

Upon hearing this, Genichi Hanyu remained silent, only staring indifferently at He Xi with his deep, abyss-like black eyes, his gaze terrifyingly calm.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that deep within his calm eyes lies an undisguised emotion—three parts mockery, three parts sarcasm, and four parts indifference as if "watching your performance."

He was like a spectator sitting in the audience, calmly appreciating the actors' hard work on stage, but his heart was unmoved, and he even felt a little bored.

He Xi was no ordinary person; she was an old demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years. Her mind was exquisite and insightful, and she naturally noticed Yu Shengxian's almost undisguised gaze.

but!

The resentful and aggrieved expression on her face was flawless, and there wasn't even a trace of panic or embarrassment in her eyes. She maintained the perfect amount of sorrow for being abandoned by a heartless man.

After all, they've lived for tens of thousands of years, experienced cosmic changes, and witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. Their skin is thicker than a star's barrier.

Unlike those teenage or even young girls who would feel ashamed or embarrassed if their crush looked at them like that, she was completely different.

For He Xi, as long as she can achieve her goal, what does face matter?

What it is?

Can it be used as a dark energy driving core?

"Well, it seems catching up is pointless."

Seeing that appealing to emotions was ineffective, He Xi switched modes very naturally. The resentful expression on her face receded like the tide, and she instantly returned to her wise and calm nature as the Heavenly King. The speed of her actions was astonishing.

"Well then, let's get down to business, Genichi Hanyu."

Her voice became cool and formal.

360 takes the initiative.

Genichi Hanyu leaned back slightly, embedding himself in the back of the chair, his fingertips touching each other in front of him.

The mockery and indifference on his face lessened slightly, replaced by an interest tinged with scrutiny and inquiry.

"Oh?"

He uttered a simple syllable, with the final sound rising slightly.

"So, tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

Looking at He Xi, whose expression had completely transformed into that of the Heavenly King—wise, calm, and seemingly in complete control—he was genuinely intrigued.

He wanted to hear what kind of bargaining chips and conditions these two proud angel kings would offer after realizing that their strategy of restraint had failed.

Seeing that Yuzuru Genichi's attitude had softened, He Xi felt a little more at ease, but on the surface she remained calm and composed.

She knew very well that when dealing with this man, any weakness or eagerness could be magnified and used against her.

"It's very simple."

He Xi's voice was clear and steady, carrying the solemnity unique to angels, as if reciting a sacred law.

"I, Queen Keisha, and Liang Bing, hope to receive the rights and benefits we deserve."

She didn't talk about vague feelings or status, but directly pointed out the core demand—power and interests.

This, in turn, made Genichi Hanyu look at her with more respect.

Conversations between intelligent people often don't need useless embellishment.

A playful expression appeared on Genichi Hanyu's face, as if he had heard something interesting.

He neither refused immediately nor readily agreed. Instead, he looked at He Xi with eyes that seemed to see through all illusions and slowly spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable certainty: "Of course, I, Yu Sheng Genichi, will not mistreat anyone."

He paused slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the study to see Keisha and Liang Bing, the other two stunningly beautiful queens.

"You, Keisha, and Liang Bing..."

He called out the names one by one, his tone calm, yet carrying a sense of weighing value with caution.

"It has indeed made a significant contribution to me and the sphere of influence I control. Whether it is the cutting-edge technological theories you provided or the super gene you developed, they have been of great help to me."

"Based on these contributions."

Genichi Hanyu ultimately gave his conclusion.

“Naturally, I will not treat you unfairly. This is my principle.”

Upon hearing Genichi Hanyu's not-so-enthusiastic but clear and unequivocal affirmation, a subtle hint of relaxation flashed across He Xi's seemingly calm eyes.

Deep down, she harbored a hidden worry—she feared that once Genichi Hanyu's strength grew and he became more powerful, he would choose to abandon them after they had served their purpose, or even deliberately suppress them because of their previous petty schemes.

After all, she knew firsthand how cold and unpredictable this man was.

Now, having received his personal, principled promise, even if it sounded more like a declaration of an exchange of benefits, was enough to put He Xi's mind at ease.

At least, the worst-case scenario won't happen.

There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.

He Xi couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth. As more and more people surrounded Yu Sheng Genichi—from the ordinary girl Yukino Yukinoshita at the beginning, to the magical geniuses from other worlds like Cassandra and Hermione.

Even the world consciousness Gaia has a close relationship with him. The uniqueness and importance of these angel queens, who were once very proud and held high positions in the heavenly court of Merlo, are being rapidly diluted.

It's possible that Genichi Hanyu has already subconsciously forgotten their existence, or has gradually shifted their priority to the back of his mind.

This trend of being marginalized is absolutely unacceptable to Keisha and He Xi, who are used to standing at the top of the pyramid of cosmic civilization.

Therefore, after realizing the seriousness of the problem, He Xi and Keisha had an in-depth discussion and finally decided to abandon their previous somewhat passive strategy of waiting for the right price and instead take the initiative.

Tsurugi, who has a closer relationship with Genichi Hanyu and is better at communication and negotiation, came in person to clarify the relationship and demand what he deserved.

The first step, confirming that Genichi Hanyu would not ignore their past contributions, has now been achieved.

Now comes the most crucial part, which also requires the most skill.

Genichi Hanyu seemed to see through the myriad thoughts that flashed through Tsuruhi's mind, but he didn't care.

He only needed results. He went straight to the core question, his tone still calm, yet carrying a decisive force: "So, tell me, He Xi, what kind of benefits and power do you—you and Keisha—desir?"

His gaze was sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to dissect He Xi's soul.

To be more specific, I don't like guessing, and I don't accept vague promises.

Genichi Hanyu awaited Tsurugi's reply.

361 is not what it used to be, He Xi

When faced with the specific demands that He Xi was about to make, Genichi Hanyu was actually not very excited.

He didn't really care what Keisha and He Xi wanted.

that power?

interest?

Territory?

resource?

These things that ordinary people would fight tooth and nail for are, to him now, nothing more than numbers and categories that he can freely allocate in his hands.

Since they want it, as long as it's not excessive, Genichi Hanyu is willing to give it to them.

This is not out of generosity or affection, but more like a formulaic reward based on past contributions.

A logic for optimizing resource allocation.

However, there is a crucial prerequisite—after he gives it to them, whether they can hold onto it or make good use of it depends entirely on their own abilities and methods.

Genichi Hanyu had neither the interest nor the obligation to act as anyone's babysitter and solve all their subsequent troubles.

This moment, that moment.

Genichi Hanyu now needs to rely on the technology of the Angel Civilization to gain a foothold.

The number of people he can use, the resources he can mobilize, and the rules and powers he controls have all increased exponentially.

From Yukino Yukinoshita, who followed them from the very beginning, to Cassandra, Hermione, Cho Chang, Penelope, and Fleur from the Harry Potter world, to the deep bond with the world consciousness Gaia, and even other scattered individuals and forces that joined or were subdued, each with their own unique characteristics.

The composition of the forces under his command has become diverse and complex.

Against this backdrop, Keisha and He Xi, along with the angelic civilization they represent, are no longer essential core pillars for Genichi Hanyu.

Their value still exists, especially their technology, knowledge, and unique understanding of the rules of the universe accumulated over tens of thousands of years, but the scarcity and dependence that makes them indispensable to you has been greatly reduced.

In the past, Genichi Hanyu might have needed the power of Keisha and Tsuruhi to counter certain potential threats, or to use their technology to achieve certain specific goals.

But now, Genichi Hanyu himself is the biggest deterrent, and the resources and power system he controls have long since transcended the scope of a single technology.

For Genichi Hanyu, Keisha and Tsuruhi were no longer irreplaceable or unique.

However, this does not mean that Genichi Hanyu will choose to abandon his allies after using them.

He has his own code of conduct.

He usually won't actively suppress or settle scores with those who have helped him in the past, as long as they don't cross his bottom line.

In his view, abandoning someone after they've served their purpose is short-sighted and tasteless, and could even damage his credibility in recruiting other talent in the future.

Therefore, he was willing to give He Xi and Keisha a chance—a chance to continue to occupy a place within the framework of the new order he had drawn up and to fight for more rights.

"I can give you what you want."

Genichi Hanyu had already made up his mind.

"But you only get one chance. I will set the conditions. Whether you can seize the opportunity, whether you can avoid being eliminated in future competition, or even stand out, depends on your own abilities."

He doesn't have any particular expectations for this, nor will he show any favoritism.

Everything depends on strength.

Genichi Hanyu knew very well that none of the people under his command, whether they were women with whom he had closer relationships, such as Yukino Yukinoshita and Cassandra, or other forces or individuals he depended on, were truly easy to manage.

They may maintain peace and obedience on the surface, but deep down they each have their own schemes and ambitions, which Genichi Hanyu knows all too well.
