Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Just like a primary school student answering a teacher's question, Beo, sitting on the chair with his feet even dangling in the air, kicked his feet and raised his hands high, excitedly giving his answer.

"you..."

Seeing Beo like this, Orange didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although the contract wasn't legally binding, she and Beo at least had one. Beo was, at least nominally, her familiar. And now, seeing Beo staring at Artoria so intently, almost glued to her... it seems he's betrayed her!

Upon hearing Aozaki Touko's voice, Beo shifted her gaze from Artoria to Aozaki Touko.

However, when she looked at Aozaki Touko again, her gaze was no longer so fervent; instead, she smiled and her eyes formed two adorable crescent moons.

"Orange, you know, right? The contract between you and me has never been binding on me. The only reason I stay by your side is because I find it interesting. After all, my life was so boring before I met you."

“But I told you back then—if you can’t make this life without rivals interesting, then I will kill you.”

"So congratulations. I never thought that after following you, I would find someone like Sister Artoria who could defeat me head-on and even easily suppress me... So you are safe now. I will no longer threaten your life, but I am going to go with Sister Artoria."

"However, if you need anything, you can come to me. As long as Artoria agrees, I can still help you unconditionally~"

As Beo spoke, he gave Aozaki Touko a thumbs-up, with an expression that said, "You've hit the jackpot."

Looking at Beo like this, Aozaki Touko's face didn't change much, but Roland, who was sitting next to her, could feel that Aozaki Touko was shaking her leg. Clearly, she wasn't calm.

However, Aozaki Touko must admit that even though Beo's words showed extremely low emotional intelligence, they were all true.

So after staring at Beo for a while, Aozaki Touko sighed helplessly and accepted the situation.

Roland, upon hearing Beo's words, learned some things.

He knew that the condition for making Beo submit was not to defeat her, but to defeat her for the first time.

Just like Soujuro in The Witcher 6: The first time he defeats Beo, Beo falls in love with him.

So since Beo joined in after being defeated by Artoria, it means that the plot of Witcher 6 has changed significantly; at the very least, Soujuro, the main character, is no longer there...

Roland compiled some information about this part.

Then, after Beo started, Cú Chulainn followed.

"I can stay here... and if I want to develop the pantheon, I'll probably encounter a lot of rivals in the future... Hey, I'll join too!"

Roland nodded to Cú Chulainn after hearing him say that.

"You are welcome to join us."

After saying this, Roland looked at Aozaki Touko and Iskandar.

"Joining isn't out of the question... but joining the God Group would essentially make them your subordinates?"

Aozaki Touko looked at Roland, who shook his head slightly.

"No, those who join the divine group will be companions... and if such a title does not make you, as a magician, feel at ease, then consider them collaborators."

"Cooperators who share the benefits, reputation, and relationships brought by the divine group and live in harmony with each other."

Hearing Roland say that, Aozaki Touko nodded slightly.

Of course, she also had her own ideas.

That was the promise I made to Aoko and Arisu.

After all, she realized that she was really bad at developing her own power... Her magic society, Garan no Tō, had been turned into this state by her, and almost every time she contacted them over the years, she was ridiculed by Aoko and even Aoko!

While feeling angry was one thing, Aozaki Touko also had to admit that when it came to developing magic societies, Kuon no Tori was indeed ahead of Garan no To, and was gradually widening the gap.

This won't do...

Thinking this, Aozaki Touko looked around. Apart from Iskandar, who was still undecided, all the other members present were members of Roland's nameless god group. If she joined them, then since the god group was nameless, they could be considered members of her Garan Hall, right?

Since they're supposed to be companions, it's okay for companions to help each other, right?

With these guys helping... that mere ancient bird is nothing!

Not worth mentioning!

so...

"No need for collaborators, I quite like the term 'companion'—okay, I'll join!"

Iskandar breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Aozaki Touko had also chosen to join.

He is not someone who doesn't know how to be flexible.

He is not someone who is incapable of cooperating with others.

Roland even knew that Iskandar had once intended to cooperate with Gilgamesh... but Gilgamesh would naturally never agree to it.

So Iskandar made a decision at this point.

Joining the Gods grants a second life, and Iskandar, like Aozaki Touko, looked around and thought these were all incredibly powerful individuals!

Even among the three magicians, Bazett, Roland, and Aozaki Touko, Iskandar had high hopes.

With the help of these guys, and combined with my own large army, wouldn't conquering the world be just around the corner?

So since they are companions, or even partners...

"I'll join!"

Having received the final answer from Iskandar, Roland's eyes lit up, radiating a special kind of divinity that even Cú Chulainn, who possessed B-level divinity, could feel the pressure of.

"So, Cú Chulainn, Ruge Beowulf, Aozaki Touko, Iskandar—the contract is complete, welcome to the party."

With Roland's words, the number of members in the God Group increased from five to nine in one go.

Although he still needed the blessing of a divine group to advance to the next level, Roland was still somewhat looking forward to the four draws in one go.

However, when Roland was browsing the [God Group System] page, he discovered that in addition to the four lottery draws, the addition of four people this time seemed to have met certain conditions in the [God Group System], so the new function was activated.

Both—the people of God and those who follow God.

......

!

26. God's People and Those Who Follow Him

Roland had known about the four draws all along.

However, he hadn't really thought about enabling the new feature, so he just glanced at it.

Besides wanting to see what the new features were, he also wanted to see how to enable them.

The new feature is simple: the panel of the [God Group System] records the invitations for secondary members (gods and followers).

If we consider Roland, who is at the center of the divine group, as the god-king or supreme god of this nameless divine group, then the members of the divine group are the chief gods, the members of the first tier of the divine group below Roland.

This new feature adds another category of members below the first tier – those currently in the second tier of the group, also known as secondary members.

Roland is not the only one qualified to recruit secondary members; any member of the Divine Group can also be recruited with Roland's permission.

Whoever recruits the secondary members will become the supreme god of those recruited secondary members, and those secondary members will be bound to their supreme god.

Then Roland is a supreme god to all the secondary members of the entire pantheon, and he has a higher priority as a supreme god than other members of the first tier.

There are no eligibility restrictions for recruiting secondary members.

However, secondary members are not counted within the group of gods. No matter how many of them there are, it will not increase the blessing of the god group, nor will it bring any lottery chances.

Moreover, unlike the members of the god group who enjoy comprehensive benefits, the secondary members each have their own characteristics and limitations.

Currently, there are two types of secondary members: the people of the gods and those who follow the gods.

The condition for unlocking the Citizens is that all members of the pantheon must have at least 10,000 Citizens combined—and this feature was unlocked after Iskandar officially joined the pantheon.

Of the nine members of the current divine group, only he possesses divine subjects.

It refers to the tens of thousands of troops in his royal army.

The people of the gods do not enjoy the longevity currently available as a benefit of the gods, but when Roland opens the Ascension Ladder for Iskandar, every one of the people of the gods who follows him will enjoy the boost brought by the Ascension Ladder.

However, the gods cannot update their attributes on their own; their attributes will only be updated automatically when their superior updates their attributes.

They are the kind of secondary members who receive fewer benefits but also face fewer restrictions.

The condition for unlocking the Divine Realm is to recruit a member who possesses a certain level of divinity—this was unlocked when Cú Chulainn was recruited.

Of the nine members today, none of them are from God.

In terms of benefits, such as advancement through a ladder, the treatment of gods is the same as that of ordinary gods. Their advancement is only automatically updated when the higher gods update them. However, unlike ordinary gods, gods enjoy all the benefits of other members of the divine group.

In return, those who follow God must obey the commands of the Supreme God and must not lie to the Supreme God or cause him harm.

Then God died, and before dying, the member could choose to have part or all of God die with them.

God is a secondary member who receives many benefits but also faces significant restrictions.

This is the new feature that has been launched this time.

After reading this, Roland glanced at Bai Mao.

He knew about Bai Mao's situation.

One of the lines from Hyakko's voice lines in FGO is: "The things I like... are they wishes? I hope that one day, the countless voices echoing in my mind will quiet down, allowing me to sleep soundly in the quiet night."

Then, in her own desire to etch her name in history as a hero, she emphasized that she was a 'hero,' and a hero should rightfully and only have a real name.
