Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

Amidst the rising steam, the girls relaxed in the hot spring, their fatigue from the past few days completely gone.

"Ah~ I'm alive again..."

Chizuku stared at a headscarf on her forehead and sighed contentedly in the bathtub.

Takina leaned against the edge of the pool, closing her eyes to rest: "Being able to take a bath is such a wonderful thing. I really need to relax properly."

Elena and Kokoro happily gathered together to discuss their haul.

Meanwhile, Hestia summoned several of her divine friends in a room next to the baths.

Hephaestus, Mich, Takemikazuchi, and Demeter all came, and even Hermes leaned against the window.

"That's the situation..."

Hestia then recounted in detail the events surrounding Artemis.

"To split one's soul apart before being devoured by that monster... that's insane."

Hephaestus took a sip of hot tea, “But it has the same unyielding, never-give-up style as Artemis.”

Artemis scratched her head sheepishly: "At that time... I was just thinking that I had to survive and then go to ask everyone for help."

Mich pondered, "Fortunately, the matter is finally resolved. But then again, how do you think Lord Uranus will view this?"

"The key lies with Ying Pingjun."

With his arms crossed, Takemikazuchi offered a sharp analysis: "The whole incident was resolved thanks to him."

"This feat of instantly defeating Entreles and saving the goddess and the lower realm is surely enough to impress Lord Uranus."

Demi nodded: "That's right, and Artemis's situation is very special. It wasn't her intention to use divine power in the first place. Fortunately, it didn't cause any serious consequences, so this shouldn't be considered a violation, right?"

Hestia's little face scrunched up: "That's true, but this time the commotion was too big."

"What if that stubborn old man Uranus insists on returning Artemis to the heavens?"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed thoughtful expressions.

There was no other way; as a great god of the heavens, Uranus also had the obligation to govern these ordinary gods.

Their status and strength far surpassed theirs, so naturally they felt great awe towards them.

Hermes suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, don't panic. Just do what we originally planned."

Everyone immediately turned to look at him.

"We jointly petition Lord Uranus, and together with the great contributions made by Lord Yingping, we request that Artemis be allowed to remain in the mortal realm."

"If Lord Uranus is still unwilling to budge, then we will agree to some additional conditions imposed on Lord Uranus."

"For example, revealing Ying Pingjun's true level and allowing the Hestia Familia to continue exploring the dungeon, things like that might get them to agree."

Hestia's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea!"

"Just do it."

"When Hestia asked me to help that child forge weapons, she actually demanded first-class weaponry. I knew then that the child was definitely not simple."

Hephaestus also showed a relaxed expression: "We will take Yingping to see Lord Uranus first thing tomorrow morning."

Chapter 54 Meeting Uranus: The True Level Shocks the Gods! [Request for Review]

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, and Yingping slowly opened his eyes.

After a good night's rest, he has recovered to his best mental state.

"Master, are you awake?"

Kokoro gently knocked on the door: "Everyone is waiting for you."

Yingping quickly dressed and opened the door to find his beloved girls standing outside, their faces filled with worry.

"Master, we wish to go with you to plead with Lord Uranus, and we beg that Lady Artemis be allowed to remain in the mortal realm!"

Chizuka was the first to speak, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"Yes, let's go together."

Takina also chimed in.

Elena tossed her long hair: "Well, even though the other party is a great god among gods, they should still be reasonable, right..."

Yingping felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head with a smile: "It's alright, you don't need to come along. There's no danger this time, it's just a talk."

"With Hestia and so many divine allies around, there won't be any problems."

He stepped forward and gave each girl a big hug: "Just wait for my good news."

Kokkoro was still worried: "Master, you must be careful and absolutely must not clash with Lord Uranus..."

"Don't worry, Hestia said he's a very easy-going and reasonable god."

Yingping ruffled her hair. "I'll be back soon."

Upon exiting the inn, Hestia and Artemis were already waiting at the door.

The gods Hephaestus, Mihe, Takemikazuchi, Demeter, and Hermes were all present.

"Lord Yingping, are you ready?"

Hestia asked, feigning nonchalance.

Yingping took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

He had prepared himself mentally for this.

If things get out of control, Artemis will still be returned.

Yingping then prepared to reveal his and the entire Hestia Familia's ranks before negotiating with Uranus.

As for the worst-case scenario...

It's not about starting a conflict with Uranus.

Instead, after Artemis was forcibly returned, she was allowed to commit suicide in the heavens, and then she only needed to wait 24 hours to be resurrected by Ying Ping's side.

Of course, although this method is theoretically feasible, Yingping still doesn't want Artemis to try it easily.

The group walked through the bustling streets of Orario and arrived at the guild headquarters, where they met the receptionist, Eina.

Eina first congratulated Yingping on his victory in the expedition to the Great Tree Sea, and then the two did not have time to chat for long.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, under her guidance, Ying Ping and his group descended the spiral staircase and finally arrived at a huge underground altar.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, a circular hall illuminated by countless candles comes into view.

A faint scent of incense filled the air, and the surrounding walls were covered with ancient divine inscriptions.

On the high platform in the very center of the altar sat an old man dressed in a black robe.

His beard and hair were completely white, his face was dignified and weathered, and his eyes were deep and very sharp.

As soon as Ying Ping stepped into the room, he felt an immense, invisible pressure wash over him.

His body tensed up involuntarily, and he began to have difficulty breathing.

"Is this... Kamui?"

Yingping thought to himself in shock.

Although I had long known that there was a vast chasm between gods and mortals, this was the first time I had personally experienced such a disparity.

Faced with the divine power unleashed by Uranus, Ying Ping couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

If we say that Shadow King Yingping at LV20 has already reached the pinnacle of strength among DanMachi adventurers.

Uranus would be at the pinnacle of the gods of the world, probably at least 100 levels higher than him.

There was no way around it; the difference in their life levels and strength was simply too great.

Of course, Uranus did not intend to unleash his divine power in front of everyone, or to target Ying Ping.

His duty was to stay here and use his divine power to suppress the underground city, ensuring that the monsters inside would not flood the surface.

Artemis noticed Yingping's discomfort and quietly took his hand.

A warm feeling came over him, and looking into the other person's gentle eyes, Yingping immediately felt much less pressure.

"Long time no see, Lord Uranus."

Hestia led the way in bowing, and the other gods followed suit.

Uranus nodded slightly and said calmly, "Hestia, you need not stand on ceremony."

Hephaestus stepped forward: "My lord, we have come regarding Artemis..."

"Lord Uranus!"

Hestia interrupted impatiently, "Artemis is innocent! The situation was urgent; she was devoured by that monster and had no choice but to use her divine power!"

Mih added, "Lord Uranus, Lord Yingping not only killed that monster, but also saved Artemis. In consideration of this merit of saving the goddess and the mortal realm, could you please be lenient this time?"

Demeter quickly chimed in, "Yes, my lord, look, Artemis has already separated her own soul. This sacrifice is far too great. Please don't pursue Artemis's responsibility any further..."

The gods all pleaded for Artemis, and the scene became somewhat chaotic.

Seeing that all the gods were speaking up for him, Ying Ping was deeply moved and secretly kept this favor in his heart.

"Quiet."

Uranus gently raised his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent.

His deep gaze lingered on Artemis for a moment before turning to Ying Ping: "Young man, you did a very good job resolving the matter of the monster that devoured Artemis."

"Hermes said that you were able to kill that kind of monster instantly, and the strength you showed should be at least LV5, or even higher."

"Can you tell me your actual level?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Ping hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hestia and Artemis.

Both of them nodded to him, casting encouraging glances, while the other gods also looked at him expectantly.

My level is LV20.

Ying Ping looked directly into Uranus's eyes and spoke clearly.

The entire altar fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

"Wha...what?!"

Hermes was the first to cry out in surprise, dropping his hat to the ground.

Despite his many speculations about Ying Ping, this level still shocked him to the extreme.

Mich and Demeter looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

Hephaestus stared intently at Ying Ping and blurted out, "There has never been an adventurer higher than LV10 in the entire history of Orario, and you actually say you're LV20..."

Kenmikaze walked right over and asked in shock, "Yingping-kun, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Mortals cannot lie before the gods, but the gods still could not believe Ying Ping.

Seeing the commotion, Uranus raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet again.

His gaze sharpened: "Yingping, would you be willing to let me see your divine grace?"

"Rest assured, as a celestial deity, I guarantee that no one present, including myself, will divulge this secret."

Ying Ping remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

He slowly took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, and then turned his back to Uranus, who was sitting high above him.

When the divine grace was revealed to Uranus, this knowledgeable celestial god was taken aback.

His pupils contracted sharply, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out in shock.

"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable..."

Uranus's voice trembled, a rare occurrence.
