A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Upon hearing Kallen's reply, Shirou picked up another piece of beef with his fork and put it in his mouth, chewing it while slightly squinting his eyes and muttering indistinctly.

"Is this so..."

Because she didn't know what the 'King' was thinking at that moment, but Karen vaguely sensed that the situation seemed a bit bad, she was terrified and didn't know what to do.

If Liliana were here, she would surely be able to come up with a solution, but the current situation is making Karen quite uneasy.

“You don’t need to be so nervous, Karen.”

Seeing the maid's anxious expression, Shirou couldn't help but chuckle.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

Although the "King" said that, the girl still looked nervous. It didn't seem easy for her to change her mindset from facing the Demon King.

The maid's eyelashes trembled slightly, a sign of fear arising from the oppressive aura emanating from the 'King's' gaze, a quality completely different from that of mortals.

From the moment humans killed the gods, they usurped divine power and were distinguished from mortals.

Seeing the maid's trembling appearance, Shirou chuckled and then looked away.

Instantly, the girl felt the pressure on her body decrease, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shirou placed his cutlery on the table, wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up, and walked directly toward the villa's gate.

"Get the car ready, let's go to the 'She-Wolf Headquarters' and see what those old guys are up to behind my back."

……

At this very moment, a tense meeting is taking place at the 'Headquarters of the Female Wolf'.

In the lavishly decorated living room, a huge round table occupies most of the space, and seven people are seated around it in chairs.

Paul Brantry, the head of the rival magic society "Copper Black Cross," and Deanna Milito of the magic society "Bronze Black Cross" are also gathered here.

As opposing factions, they shouldn't have sat down for talks so peacefully, but faced with a demon king who possessed divine power far beyond that of a magician, they had no choice but to temporarily set aside their hostile relationship.

Of course, several other leaders of magic societies were also present. Among them were the leaders of the magic societies "Old Lady" and "Wolf," and finally, the young leader of "Lily City," who was not even thirty years old. He had abandoned his true name and inherited...

He named each of the successive commanders of his magic society, [Lily City], the Purple Knight.

Two other magic societies are missing because they are currently in a period of turmoil and have not yet elected a leader.

The five people who have already arrived are allies of the Italian magic society 'Seven Sisters'. They are gathered here to hold a meeting about the seventh 'Godslayer' because the Demon King has come to Italy.

Besides the leaders of the magic societies seated around the giant round table, two other people also participated in this alliance meeting.

First up is Erica Bruntry, a girl with long blonde hair.

Throughout history, there have been many magicians, some despicable fraudsters, and some great mentors.

A "knight" who learns swordsmanship, magic, and other skills.

Erica, on the other hand, is a descendant of magicians and warriors who once dominated the Temple Knights in the Middle Ages and worshipped the Son of God and the demon god Baphomet.

Although she has only just turned fourteen this year, she is one of the youngest witches here. At such a young age, she has already reached the rank of Grand Knight and earned the title of 'Crimson Demon'.

Another person who was equally beautiful as Erica was Liliana Kranichal, who was also fourteen years old.

The girl with long, silver-white hair tied in a single ponytail, while not particularly adept at political negotiations, was in no way inferior to Erica in other aspects.

Liliana is capable of using European "witchcraft" and has the blood of a priestess. She possesses combat abilities on par with Erika and is known as the "Sword Fairy".

Normally, they wouldn't be qualified to attend a meeting between the Grand Marshals of the Magic Society, but Erica had the most legendary Grand Marshal, Paul Brantelli, as her guarantor, and Liliana was a knight directly loyal to the new 'King,' so no one objected to their presence.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started on the meeting. We can't afford to upset the new king."

Trino, the head of the magic society "Old Lady," spoke first.

After the leader of the magic society "Old Lady" spoke, the leader of the magic society "Lily City" also looked at Diana Milito, the leader of the magic society "Bronze Black Cross," and spoke with a sharp tone.

"Everyone, I think you are all very clear about the purpose of this meeting. This new 'King' is currently very close to the [Bronze Black Cross], and it seems that he has already accepted your allegiance. Therefore, we hope that you can share information about this Demon King, as this is related to whether our 'Seven Sisters' alliance can continue to cooperate in the future."

Upon hearing the fiery words from the commander-in-chief of the Lily City, Diana Milito, the commander-in-chief of the Bronze Black Cross, couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Thanks to Lily's help, we [Bronze Black Cross] did indeed successfully gain the favor of this new 'King', but in reality, we know very little about this 'King'. All we know so far is his name and that the god he killed was Nidhogg, the 'black dragon' in Norse mythology who ate the World Tree."

With that, Diana Milito sighed softly.

"As for any other information about this 'King,' we have no clue whatsoever so far, not even where he came from."

Upon hearing Diana Milito's answer, the other grandmasters of the magic societies all showed expressions of surprise, while the grandmaster of the "She-Wolf" spoke aggressively.

"How is this possible?! No matter how powerful the new 'King' is, it's impossible for him to erase all traces of his existence in this world! This must be because you, the [Bronze Black Cross], deliberately concealed information to curry favor with this new 'King'!"

Upon hearing the words of the "Female Wolf" commander, Deanna Milito immediately retorted.

"This is a baseless slander! I have not concealed any information; I have truthfully told you all the information we know!"

After saying that, Diana Milito's next sentence, though seemingly calm, was full of ruthlessness.

“We, the Bronze Black Cross, have now pledged allegiance to a ‘King.’ If we truly wanted to harm you, we wouldn’t need to attend this meeting.”

"..." Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, among the magic societies in Italy, only the Bronze Black Cross in Milan has received the King's protection. Originally, there was no need to pay attention to them when the invitation to this meeting was sent, but now that Diana Milito has arrived as promised, it shows that the Bronze Black Cross still hopes to maintain an alliance with the other magic societies in Italy.

At this moment, while all the heads of the magic societies fell silent, Paul Brantri, the head of the [Red Copper Black Cross], unexpectedly spoke up to help Deanna Milito, the head of the [Bronze Black Cross].

"I have had several encounters with the Demon King of England, the 'Black Prince,' and have personally witnessed just how powerful the 'Disobedient God' is. Even with my strength, I felt like an ant when facing the 'Disobedient God,' completely unable to muster the will to resist. Therefore..."

I believe that the [Bronze Black Cross] did not hide anything from everyone.

The Bronze Black Cross and the Copper Black Cross are two magic societies that have always been rivals, a fact that is already well known to the other commanders.

However, Paul Brantry, the head of the Copper Black Cross, is now defending the head of the Bronze Black Cross, which is being questioned. This somewhat peculiar scene leaves the other heads looking at each other in bewilderment.

At this point, Paul Brontë continued.

"I'm not trying to help the [Bronze Black Cross] out of a predicament; I'm just stating a fact to everyone."

Upon hearing Paul Brantry's words, the other commanders immediately turned to look at him.

Facing the gazes cast by the other leaders of magic societies, Paul Brantry spoke in a somewhat somber tone.

"Those who can kill gods are never powerful magicians, but rather beings we can never reach, beings we cannot comprehend."

------

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chapter Fourteen: The Demon King Arrives!

Paul Broughtry's words made the atmosphere in the room somewhat oppressive.

Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, making it difficult to even breathe. The 'Godslayers' were simply too powerful. Their ability to slay gods meant that even the most powerful magicians could hardly comprehend their strength.

Despite their exceptional swordsmanship and mastery of the world's secret arts, even as the most outstanding magicians in the magic world, they still cannot hide their fear of the 'Godslayer'.

Because even the most powerful knight in the world today, or the top magician who is proficient in the most complex magic, is nothing more than an ant that can be destroyed with a flick of the finger in front of the Demon King and the God.

That seemed to be the only truth in this world.

Those who can become 'godslayers' are born heroes capable of accomplishing the hegemony of slaying gods; they are 'demon kings' who stand above all others!

Those who can accomplish such a feat may be knights with superb sword skills, magicians with unparalleled magic prowess, or even just ordinary people. But when they slay the gods and usurp their power, they become beings beyond the comprehension of mortals.

There is absolutely no logic to it.

Every 'Godslayer' possesses formidable luck and strength, capable of reversing seemingly insurmountable dead ends, and is a 'King' who can kill gods and Buddhas alike!

These magicians, who are incredibly powerful to ordinary people, are no different from ordinary people in front of the 'Godslayer'.

At this moment, because of Paul Brantry's words, the things that the generals present did not want to think about were ruthlessly laid out before them, forcing them to grit their teeth and face this cruel reality.

"If that's the case, then how should we face this new 'King'?" The commander-in-chief of the [Lily City], the 'Purple Knight', posed a question at this moment.

Upon hearing this question from the Supreme Commander of the Lily City, the Purple Knight, those magic societies that had not yet pledged allegiance to any Demon Lord fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Paul Brantry, the commander-in-chief of the [Red Copper Black Cross], spoke up.

"We, the [Copper Black Cross], plan to try to pledge allegiance to the 'Sword King' who has emerged in recent years."

The "King of Swords" that Paul Brontë spoke of was the sixth "Godslayer," who quickly became famous throughout Southern Europe after his emergence a few years ago, and whose name gradually became known to magic societies around the world—Salvatore Tony.

It is said that Salvatore Tony was just an unknown knight a few years ago. He had extremely high swordsmanship skills, but almost no magical talent. Before becoming the 'Godslayer', he had a constitution that could not store magic power.

He once went to study swordsmanship under Saint Raphael, the original master of Reinhardt, and mastered it completely after a month. Later, he was possessed by the god Saint George and fought against different gods. Finally, Saint George's god was killed by the god-king Nuada. After regaining his self-awareness, he defeated Nuada with his swordsmanship and usurped his power. Later, he also defeated the disobedient god summoned by Voban and seized his power.

The cult leader Luo Hao, known as the 'Godslayer' from Jiangnan, once commented on him: "If we only compare swordsmanship, his skills are similar to mine, but in other martial arts, he is no match for me at all."

This was already a very high compliment for the incredibly arrogant Lord Luo Hao, demonstrating that Salvatore Tony's title of "King of Swords" was well-deserved.

"To pledge allegiance to the 'King of Swords'... If our Italian magic society does this, won't it incur the displeasure of that new 'King'?"

At this moment, Trino, the leader of the "Old Lady," raised another question.

After the "Old Lady" leader, Trino, asked this question, the "Female Wolf" leader spoke up at that moment.

“But if we don’t do that, won’t the ‘Sword King’ also be unhappy with us because an Italian magic society has sided with the new king? After all, the ‘Sword King’ was originally from Southern Europe, and may already consider Southern Europe as his territory.”

【

The words of the leader of the "Female Wolf" seemed to be directed at Deanna Milito, the leader of the "Bronze Black Cross". Although others had also considered this, no one said it out loud. Now, the leader of the "Female Wolf" has just brought it out into the open.

Faced with pressure from the leader of the "Female Wolf" faction, Deanna Milito couldn't help but frown.

She had already realized that these guys wanted to make a choice for her.

They either rebel against the new "King" and join them in pledging allegiance to the "Sword King," or, after pledging allegiance to the "Sword King," they will be united and suppressed by him.

In the eyes of these veteran commanders, the sixth "Godslayer," who already had the reputation of "King of Swords," was undoubtedly more trustworthy than the newly born "King."

Diana Milito sensed that the situation in the hall was not going well for her side. Although she wanted to refute them, she was completely clueless about the origins and power of the new king and didn't know how to refute the commanders.

Moreover, after hearing what the leader of the [Female Wolf], Trino, said, she was already somewhat worried. If the new 'King' was not as strong as the 'Sword King', the [Bronze Black Cross] would not only be overwhelmed by the rival magic society [Red Copper Black Cross], but would even face the crisis of destruction.

However, she has already chosen to pledge allegiance to this new "King," and if she were to rebel again, the "King of Swords" would certainly not accept their allegiance.

Moreover, Diana Milito felt that rather than gambling that the 'Sword King' would accept their allegiance and that the new 'King' was not as powerful as the 'Sword King,' it was better to trust Liliana's judgment and offer the [Bronze Black Cross] of loyalty to the new 'King.'

Now that the die is cast, Diana Milito has no choice but to make a firm decision and stand firmly on the side of the new "King".

Just as Diana Milito was thinking this, the commander-in-chief of the [Lily City], the 'Purple Knight', spoke.

"In that case, we only have two choices now."

Upon hearing the speech of the "Purple Knight," the supreme commander of the "Lily City," all the supreme commanders of the other magic societies, except for Diana Milito, immediately turned their gazes to him, anticipating his next words.
