Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

"Although this gift is not particularly precious, it is, after all, a task assigned by Lady Athena. How can we, the descendants of Perseus, sit idly by and watch this gift be stolen?!"

As descendants of the mythical hero Perseus, the community named after their ancestor, the Perseus, has been responsible for preserving his spoils of war—the severed head of the Gorgon.

Perseus was originally a human hero, but later obtained his divine status from Hephaestus, the god of forging, so he was extremely talented in forging.

This characteristic was passed down along with blood ties and divinity, leading the community [Perseus] to become a commercial community primarily engaged in weapon forging.

Because they rely on forging weapons for their main livelihood, coupled with a lack of combat over the years, and due to bloodline succession, the leaders of Perseus have become weaker with each generation.

By Lucius's generation, although he had elevated the community to a four-figure level by clinging to the coattails of Arcadia, his talent as a warrior and summoner was extremely low.

As a result, in his hands, Alger, which could be described as an exceptional gift, could at most unleash combat power at the level of an ordinary Asura or Buddha, and there was also the risk of being accidentally injured.

Having a vague understanding of his ancestors' stories, he was even more unaware of the true identity of the so-called Gorgon, believing her to be just an existence worth around four or five figures.

Therefore, despite his outrage, he was not actually aware of the value of the gift he had lost.

"Huh? You take Athena's mission so seriously? I didn't realize you were such a principled person... Should I put in a good word for you with Athena?"

White Yaksha was somewhat surprised to hear Lucius's resounding words.

According to her understanding, Athena, in order to belittle Arger, turned her into a stone sculpture and handed her over to Perseus, and then ignored the community.

The two sides have had little contact, otherwise Perseus wouldn't have fallen so low as to have to work for Arcadia.

I never expected Lucius to be so faithful, actually remembering his ancestors' promise to this day.

"Ahem! Then I'd better not."

Lucius had originally intended to put on a good show, but after hearing the White Yaksha say he wanted to greet Athena, he immediately chickened out.

According to records, Athena, though generous, was also a stern person.

If they find out that their community has been run into such a mess and their blessings have been stolen by the Demon King, they might not have a good outcome.

"Actually, it's just a gift or something, nothing serious. Apart from its commemorative significance, it's not a big problem."

"What's truly infuriating is that on the day the Demon King descended, we were working overtime to forge hundreds of weapons!"

As he spoke, Lucius gradually grew angry again.

Seeing his expression, White Yaksha asked with some confusion.

"What? Did that demon king not only take the Gorgon, but also steal the weapons you produced?"

The main weapons sold by the 【Perseus】community are all artifacts used by the mythical hero (Qian Lihao) Perseus.

Of course, with their abilities, they couldn't possibly forge a genuine divine weapon; the mass-produced versions of the weapons were basically downgraded versions.

Even so, their weapons are quite popular in the Little Garden.

If it were any other demon king who saw it and was itching to snatch it, White Yaksha would think that's normal.

But if it's Black Saber, White Yaksha thinks it's unlikely.

really--

"no!"

Lucius said angrily.

"Then why are you angry?"

White Yaksha was somewhat confused.

"The problem is that she didn't touch the weapon!"

Lucius gritted his teeth and said.

"Last night I was bringing a client here to discuss business when this demon king suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only that, but he also happened to see the weapon I had just forged. And to make matters worse, he didn't even try to steal it!"

"Not only did he not rob us, but he actually said these weapons were junk in front of the guests!"

"Contempt is the greatest humiliation!"

"If the customers hadn't stopped me, given my temper, I would have fought this devil right there and then!"

He spoke in a trembling voice, full of resentment.

"You blind fool! What gives you the right to look down on our goods!"

225 Vortigern, the Demon King

"..."

After hearing Lucius's tearful accusations, both the White Demon and the Canary were speechless.

So that's what you're angry about!

As a business community, having your weapons looked down upon is a damaging thing to your reputation, especially when you are belittled in front of a major client. It is understandable that you would feel angry.

What hurt Perseus even more than being plundered by the Demon King was that the Demon King didn't even care about their pride.

but--

"Facing the Demon King, just surviving is already a feat!"

White Demon made a comment, then asked in confusion.

"Speaking of which, since that demon king didn't even look at your weapons and had no intention of plundering them, why did he call them trash?"

Recalling Black Saber's cold and aloof personality, White Yaksha believed she could give that assessment, but didn't believe she would pay attention to such trivial matters.

"This...this is because—"

When this was mentioned, Lucius looked a little uncomfortable, but he still told the truth.

"Because there are guests present, in order to protect their safety, I offered to exchange these weapons for our safety, but the Demon King refused."

"...Didn't you ask for this?"

White Yaksha was even more speechless.

The Demon King hasn't even made any demands, yet you've already offered him alms, claiming it's to protect your guest. Given his personality, he's probably just simply afraid of dying.

The weapon offered voluntarily was rejected by the Demon King, making the child feel ashamed and too afraid to cause trouble for him. Only after the Demon King left did the child come over and make a scene.

This guy is really twisted. If it weren't for the fact that Perseus's weapon forging skills are really good, White Yaksha really wouldn't want to deal with this kind of person.

"How can you say it's self-inflicted! It is the duty of the Arcadia Grand Alliance to defeat the Demon King. This time, the Arcadia Grand Alliance must wash away our shame!"

Lucius was very dissatisfied with what the White Demon said.

After correcting himself, he realized that he couldn't fight, and that the task of defeating the Demon King still depended on the two rulers of the hierarchy in front of him.

So, upon reaching this point, he gave the two of them a fawning smile.

"You mean 853? Lady White Demon, and Lady Canary?"

Seeing his fawning attitude, White Demon and Canary exchanged a glance but did not refuse.

"Rest assured, Lucius, it is Arcadia's job to defeat the Demon King. Moreover, this time it is an attack on our allies. We, Arcadia, will never stand idly by!"

After glancing at the White Demon, Canary took the initiative to speak and agreed to the matter.

Upon hearing this, Lucius's face lit up with joy. He rubbed his hands together and then said...

"Lady Canary, I have a request, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Say it!"

The canary rested her cheek on her hand, nodded casually, and didn't even look at him.

"It's just that... could we participate in this campaign against the Demon King?"

Lucius made the request.

"After some thought, I've decided that the best way to salvage our reputation is to deliver a fatal blow to the Demon King using the weapons we've forged. This will also promote our community, which is good for the Arcadia Grand Alliance!"

His idea was clear: to use Arcadia's power to dispel negative public opinion and then promote products.

"..."

Although she had anticipated Lucius's foolishness, Canary still couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.

"Lucius."

"Yes!"

Lucius looked up longingly, thinking that this small request would never be refused.

but--

"Do you think that defeating the Demon King is just child's play?"

In a rather relaxed tone, the blonde girl asked this question.

"No, no! How could that be?!"

Lucius immediately shook his head, his eyes wide with surprise, clearly not expecting to be rejected.

"Although we [Arcadia] have not suffered a defeat so far, the task of defeating the Demon King is one that cannot be taken lightly. To think that we have the luxury of deciding how to end the Demon King's life is a fatal arrogance."

The canary shook its head, its eyes showing a hint of disappointment.

“Although you are in the logistics department, you are also an important ally of our alliance. I didn’t expect you to be so naive.”

As the strategist of the Arcadia Major League, Canary's words can be seen as a subtle warning.

Normally, even if he didn't agree with what she said, Lucius would obey the shrew's orders. But this time, he was indeed eager to make up for the losses.

So, Lucius gritted his teeth and said.

"Our Arcadia Grand Alliance can even defeat the final trial of humanity, let alone these demon lords with no background?"

“I know that Lady Canary means to proceed with caution, but there is no need for that now… If Lady Canary is really worried, we of Perseus can personally lead the attack. We only hope that if the opportunity arises, you will allow us to complete the subjugation.”

As he said this, his eyes hardened, as if he had made a great sacrifice.

"..."

The canary was speechless once again.

A mere logistics department, talking about personally going into battle? Does this guy think he's using reverse psychology effectively?
