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

Just then—

"Master! Lord Takemikazuchi! You've worked hard during the training!"

Kokoro trotted over, carrying a clean towel and a glass of cool water, a gentle smile on her face.

"Please use!"

She tiptoed and carefully wiped the sweat from Yingping's forehead, then respectfully handed another towel to Jian Yulei.

Takemikazuchi took the towel and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Yingping took the water glass directly, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Phew—that feels much better."

He let out a long sigh, turned to Kokkoro, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Miss Elena is still sleeping, and Lady Hestia is discussing matters concerning the development of the Familia with Lady Artemis..."

Kokoro obediently reported, but before she could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance.

Just then, Chizuka Nishiki rushed over, her red skirt fluttering in the wind: "Master! Mr. Ota of the Freya Familia has arrived and says he wants to see you!"

Yingping and Jian Yulei exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"Otta, the fierce warrior of the Freya Familia?"

Takemikazuchi frowned slightly. "What's he doing here?"

Yingping put down his teacup, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "We'll know once we go and see for ourselves."

He grabbed a trench coat draped over his shoulder, put it on, and strode toward the main building.

After a slight hesitation, Takemikazuchi followed.

When Ying Ping and his group arrived at the entrance of the camp, they saw a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain, standing quietly.

Ota Freya Familia leader, Orario's recognized strongest adventurer, a LV7 warrior.

His dark skin gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, and his muscular body looked as if it had been cast from steel.

His 2.1-meter height was extremely intimidating to outsiders, and he was looking down at Ying Ping from above.

Those calm, deep eyes contained an unwavering martial spirit.

"A draw."

Ota stared intently at Yingping, his voice low and deep.

Yingping put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head slightly to meet his gaze, and had a faint smile on his lips: "I wonder what brings the leader of the Freya Familia to my door in person?"

Ota stated directly, "I am here on the orders of Lady Freya to inquire whether the Hestia Familia intends to form an alliance."

"An alliance?"

Yingping raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Isn't the Freya Familia known as the strongest Familia in Orario?"

"On the eve of a war game, why would they need to form an alliance with a small clan like ours? Why?"

Ota paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Lady Freya said that if we form an alliance, you will surely be able to defeat the Loki Familia in the War Game."

He paused, then said calmly, "When the time comes, you who have absorbed the Loki Familia will become Orario's new strongest Familia."

"If our two clans cooperate again, we can completely control the entire Orario landscape."

After listening, Ying Ping suddenly chuckled softly, "That's quite a nice idea..."

He shook his head, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "But I refuse! Actually, your Freya is scared, isn't she?"

"I'm afraid that after we defeat the Loki Familia, your Freya Familia will be our next target!"

The air froze instantly...

Ota's gaze suddenly sharpened, and an invisible sense of oppression spread out like a tide.

Kokoro and Chizuka Nishiki, standing behind Yingping, immediately reacted with serious expressions.

"Calm down, don't make a move yet."

Yingping remained calm, simply blocking the people behind him and taking a step forward to confront Ota head-on.

"...Don't misunderstand, Lady Freya simply admires your talent."

Ota's voice turned colder, "But if you don't cooperate and insist on being enemies with the Freya Familia, then you are courting death."

"is it?"

Ying Ping shrugged: "I didn't expect Freya to not even know my strength. It seems your intelligence isn't very good."

“Then there’s nothing to talk about. Go back and tell Freya that we, the Hestia Familia, don’t need you as an ally.”

Ota's eyes turned completely cold, and he began to exude a murderous aura.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Since that's the case..."

"Yingping, I would like to request a fight with you on my own behalf."

"If you lose, you will accept the cooperation with Lady Freya. If I lose, Lady Freya will come to talk to you in person again."

Yingping narrowed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Sure, no problem."

"Then go to the arena of the Ganesha Familia and wait for me. Let's have a fair and square match."

"Life or death is irrelevant, until one side shouts surrender 4.3."

"can."

Ota gave Yingping a deep look, said nothing more, turned and left, his footsteps heavy.

At this moment, Nishiki Chizuka volunteered, grinning as she said, "Master, why don't you send me? I'm sure I can beat that big guy!"

This is true.

Thanks to the Book of Experience, she has now leveled up to LV21, and her physical abilities and strength can indeed easily defeat LV7 Ota.

Yingping thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to show off."

The news quickly spread throughout Orario—

"Yingping of the Hestia Familia will publicly challenge Ota of the Freya Familia in the arena!"

The entire labyrinth city was in an uproar once again.

Inside Loki's Familia, Finn put down the intelligence report in his hand, his brow furrowed: "This Ying Ping... is he really that confident in his own strength?"

At the top of the Tower of Babel, Freya swirled her wine glass expressionlessly, a dangerous glint in her purple eyes.

"I hope you can bring me enough surprises."

Chapter 63 Arena Showdown with Ota: Freya's Shock! [Requesting rating votes]

When the midday sun arrives.

The arena of the Ganesha Familia was already bustling with noise.

The giant circular arena, which can hold tens of thousands of people, is now packed to capacity.

Even the passageways were packed with adventurers and citizens who came to watch the battle.

Many gods who were interested in this battle naturally got involved as well.

"They're here! It's Yingping from the Hestia Familia!"

Wow! It really is him!

"Look! Orario's strongest hero, Otto, is already on the field!"

When Ying Ping appeared in the entrance passage, the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers.

Yingping was wearing a black trench coat, his hands in his pockets, and he walked with a leisurely pace, as if he were just taking a stroll.

In the center of the arena, Ota stood silently, fully armed.

He was tall and imposing, clad in heavy black armor, and carrying the Black Sword worth 4.1 million Fali on his shoulder. He exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Hmph, that brat comes to the competition dressed like that, all high and mighty. He's really arrogant! It's making me so angry!"

"I hope Ota can teach him a lesson for me!"

Inside the VIP box, Loki sat with his legs crossed, staring at Ying Ping on the sidelines with a displeased expression.

Loki turned to look at Freya beside him, only to find that the goddess of beauty was squinting and her expression was somewhat wavering.

"Freya, you don't actually think that guy can beat your Otta, do you?"

"...I don't know. Nobody knows Ying Ping's true strength. You can only find out by competing with him."

"However, I have confidence in Ota."

Freya gently swirled her wine glass, as if trying to convince herself.

In the front row of the audience, the three leaders of the Loki Familia—Finn, Riveria, and Grace—were talking in hushed tones.

"This young man is really something else."

Grace stroked his beard and looked Yingping up and down.

"He looked so composed."

"Could it be that his strength has actually surpassed ours and reached LV7, or even higher?"

Finn stroked his chin, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"Regardless of the outcome, this battle will allow us to see his strength and then devise a strategy to deal with him."

"We must win this war game!"

Riveria took a deep breath.

Judging from appearances alone, she indeed could not fathom Ying Ping's true strength.

"Tch! What a pretentious guy!"

"If you act so arrogantly, you'll just get beaten up by Ota!"

Bert, the fierce wolf, crossed his arms and glared at Yingping on the sidelines with a displeased expression, constantly swearing.

Since his defeat to Yingping, the opponent has only gained fame by defeating him, who has LV5 strength.

“Bert”.

Finn interrupted him calmly, "Behave yourself and observe this battle carefully."

Meanwhile, Ais sat quietly alone in a seat not far away.

She was dressed casually today, her long golden hair falling over her shoulders, her amber eyes fixed on Yingping.

Her expression remained calm, but her fists were clenched tightly.

"Mr. Yingping, prove your true strength to everyone..."

Ais murmured softly, a determined glint in her eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Ganesha Familia's arena!"

"I am—Ganesha!"

Ganesha stood on the high platform, wearing his signature elephant-head mask, and announced in a loud voice.

"Today, we will witness an unprecedented showdown!"

"On one side is the leader of the Freya Familia, the strongest adventurer in Orario—the Mighty Otto!"

The entire stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"On the other side is Ying Ping, the leader of the Hestia Familia who has been gaining popularity recently!"

"Although he doesn't have a title yet, his strength is extremely formidable!"

The cheers grew even louder, interspersed with screams from many female adventurers.

Who will ultimately emerge victorious in this battle?

"Alright, I hereby declare—"

"Once both sides feel there are no problems, the competition will officially begin!"
