Crossover Anime: From DanMachi to Becoming a Garbage Scavenging Master

At the heart of creation, beside the seed of the world.

The power of the ocean fire surged once more, spreading silently like an invisible tide, enveloping the entire world in a faint guiding aura.

Astraea slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a pure white, boundless space.

A black-haired man stood silently to one side, his face masked, his expression enigmatic. Beside him, a pure white seed floated in the air, emitting a faint, pure light. Further away, a magnificent and silent castle stood abruptly, as if it had existed there since time immemorial, never having left.

She had just woken up and was not fully conscious.

The man seemed to notice this, and hurriedly straightened his clothes before speaking in a gentle voice, "It's time to get up."

"Where...am I?"

Her voice carried a hint of confusion as she tried to piece together her fragmented memories.

"Here? The core of the primordial vortex, a place beyond the world."

"Listen to me, your mind is a complete mess right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, or what to do next."

As Astrea was still pondering the meaning of the primordial vortex when a flood of memories rushed in, leaving her momentarily stunned.

"But none of that matters."

The man's tone suddenly became firm.

"The important thing is that I'll be leaving soon and leaving you here alone. So from now on, there's no need to dwell on the past or doubt yourself."

"Can... you stay?"

Astraea prayed in a low voice, her voice filled with anxiety.

"Listen to me, you will encounter many wonderful things. You will gain members of your own clan, have companions who are like family, and then embark on an adventure that you could never have imagined in your dreams—"

"During this long journey, all the mysteries that trouble you will be solved one by one. This is what I foresee, and this is the future you will arrive at. Do you like it?"

Astraea lowered her head slightly.

Deep within my consciousness, the jumbled memories began to slowly come back into place.

She saw herself standing in the realm of gods—

He communes with the gods, looks down upon all living beings with the eyes of the stars, and judges all things in the world.

She is Astraea, the goddess who upholds justice and order! She is also the personal goddess of Lord Prometheus!

Huh? Is that so?! She was a little confused.

But then, thinking of how this great man stole the heavenly fire and brought civilization to the world, a faint sense of approval arose in his heart.

But... there seems to be more than one figure of Lord Prometheus?

My thoughts were in turmoil again, and a faint stinging pain spread from the depths of my mind.

The next instant, a small, blue figure appeared in my mind.

The figure seemed to be formed from flames, repeatedly murmuring fragmented words deep within her consciousness—

"Caesar—the Flame Lord—inheriting his legacy—conquering the world—"

The fiery blue figure before me is Caesar, with such a burning and domineering heart of justice!

She seemed to have become her successor for some reason, inheriting the power known as the "Spark of Law." And everything changed because of this—

She has become an existence beyond this world!

Even though he had already arrived in the lower realm, where his power should have been sealed, his words seemed to exude an invisible force of restraint!

As for Lord Youyan, he was one of Caesar's most trusted companions.

But... why does his figure look so similar to the man in front of me?

"Where are you going...?"

"Go to the next place and pave the way for the future that has already been prepared. Destiny is like a golden thread; only by carefully weaving it will it lead to the desired destination."

"The delegation from Ryugu Palace has been waiting for a long time; I should go and greet them."

"You Yanjue?"

Astraea tentatively asked in a soft voice.

The man was momentarily stunned, then, as if losing interest, he removed his mask and muttered under his breath, "Crydella, you ruined my plans. I was hoping to put on a touching farewell drama to give Astraea a breathtaking entrance performance."

He turned around and introduced himself: "Zheng Tianxing, or you can call me Prometheus in this world."

"Welcome to this world, Astraea! And welcome to our family!"

-----------------

In the town of Melon, at the training grounds of the Prometheus clan.

A year ago, this place was just a barren wasteland, but now it has been completely transformed.

The once overgrown ground has been compacted and leveled, and a simple yet sturdy fence has been erected around it. Inside the fence, various weapon racks are neatly arranged, with swords and firearms categorized in an orderly manner, giving it the appearance of a fully-fledged training ground.

Astraea stood to the side, whispering with Touka, Tomo, and Yasuri Shichika, who were holding welcoming props.

Tianxing stood alone in the center of the arena, bowing his head slightly as he looked at his palm.

A faint light seeped out from between the fingers, slowly gathering and finally condensing into a semi-transparent bracelet phantom, quietly floating in the palm.

He had just spent some time studying the enhanced residency permit system and quickly figured out the changes.

Now, he is able to mark members from other worlds, preventing them from being judged as hostile beings by this world. In other words, he grants them a recognized temporary identity.

The bracelet in front of him is the device he specially designed for this purpose.

Tianxing casually materialized it, then gently grasped it, saying calmly, "Visitor system... this should be sufficient."

Just then, the appointed time arrived.

Suddenly, ripples spread through the air, and a huge portal slowly opened, as if the space had been torn apart, revealing the scene on the other side.

The first to step out were the sisters Nanami and Alphia.

Following closely behind were Hancock, who looked around excitedly, and Rayleigh and Shakky, who waved to everyone with calm smiles.

Ishri, slightly nervous yet unable to hide her curiosity, gripped Shirley's arm tightly and cautiously looked around. However, all she saw was a peaceful and serene small town, which made her relax slightly.

Tiger and Jinbe remained silent, their gazes calmly observing everything around them.

Then, Queen Otohime and Shara stepped forward. Both appeared solemn, first performing proper courtesies, and then Otohime spoke:

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Lord Prometheus. I look forward to your continued support during this time."

Tianxing stepped forward and distributed wristbands to everyone, briefly explaining a few points to note.

Then he said, "Enjoy the time you have ahead. This is Melon, a seaside town where humans and demi-humans coexist. You will find your place here."

As soon as the words were spoken, Frozen Snow behind him waved her hands vigorously, taking the lead in creating a welcoming atmosphere. The others also took out the small props they had prepared, and colorful ribbons fluttered and made a series of sounds.

In the blink of an eye, the originally somewhat reserved scene was transformed into a lively and joyful one.
