Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

Author: Yishan Haomeng

Summary:

The labyrinthine ruins, silent for countless years, have welcomed a new master: Niu Kun, who inherited the title of King of the Bull Demons and Lord of the Beasts, and pushed open the giant bronze gate leading to countless other worlds and dimensions.

"Huh? Why are all these otherworldly worlds from anime I've seen before?"

Subsequently, Niu Kun wreaked havoc in the Apocalypse world filled with undead, became the King of Monsters in a mixed anime world that was both ordinary and extraordinary, became the Emperor in the war-torn world of Kill! Red, and served as the Demon God in the world of high school where demons and angels coexist...

Book One: The Book of Revelation

Chapter One: The Labyrinth Ruins

Endless tranquility and emptiness filled the ruins, all that remained of the former prosperity and splendor was desolation, and a dark and profound void enveloped the surroundings, until Niu Kun suddenly awoke, breaking the silence.

"here it is?"

After waking up, Niu Kun was initially puzzled, but then he remembered everything. He must have been accidentally hit by a truck and died, but in his final moments, he received a mysterious call.

Born into an orphanage and having just graduated from junior college, Niu Kun naturally yearned to survive, and his strong will to live responded to the call.

However... Niu Kun raised his hand to examine it. It wasn't his original arm, but a muscular arm covered in dark brown fur. Realizing something was wrong, Niu Kun quickly checked his body.

Only then did I realize that I was no longer human.

He came back to life, but no longer as a human being.

Niu Kun obtained the savage and violent bloodline of the Minotaur, and his human form became humanoid. However, at a height of about two meters, he is considered small among the Minotaur, like an underage Minotaur.

Through exploration, Niu Kun's facial features and body shape were more human-like than other minotaurs, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call him a minotaur. The muscles hidden under his brown-black fur were exceptionally strong. He had huge, forward-curving bull horns on his head, as well as thick, bow-shaped legs like a wild beast, and hooves that resembled demonic hooves. He also had a sturdy bull tail that could be swung like a whip.

All of this makes Niu Kun look somewhat strange, more like a demonized minotaur.

Niu Kun remained silent for a long time before finally accepting his current identity and appearance. But then he looked around and more confusion arose in his heart. Where was he?

Just as this thought arose in Niu Kun's mind, a notification sound suddenly rang in his ears, and then a virtual image floated in front of him.

Welcome to the Abyss - Labyrinth Ruins

[Host Niu Kun, you have become the inheritor of the relic.]

[The Relic Inheritor: The fallen demon god left behind relics that seem both real and illusory; the inheritor will become a new demon god.]

[Ruins control level: 0.001%]

[Message Prompt: A symbiotic entity of savagery and civilization, chaos and order, destruction and creation, ferocity and brutality; possessing keen will and profound wisdom, like an ancient beast, it delights in rampage and destruction, yet also possesses talents in social interaction and culture. A perfect fusion of bloodlust and ruthless cunning, the King of Horned Demons, the Lord of Beasts.]

"Have I... become the inheritor of this ruin?"

After the image faded, Niu Kun slowly processed the sudden information: he had become the inheritor of this site, inheriting a... ruin?

Looking around, this place should have been a magnificent and grand palace, but now it has become a vast but chaotic ruin, composed of countless halls, rooms, steps, bridges, towers and ramps.

Perhaps this place was once incredibly magnificent and flawless, but now all that can be seen are collapsed pavilions, broken stones, potholed roads, and toppled and damaged spires.

Niu Kun withdrew his gaze, suddenly realizing something, and silently recited the attribute in his mind.

[Host: Niu Kun]

Race: Minotaur.

Identity: Relic Inheritor.

Rank: Lower Second Order.

Alignment: Lawful Evil.

Attributes: Strength 16, Agility 14, Constitution 15, Intelligence 11, Perception 14, Charisma 10.

Language: Abyss Language, Chinese.

Talents: Killing Soul Devourer, Combat Instinct, Labyrinth Recollection, Dark Vision.

Skills: Charge, Recklessness.

Family members: None.

Soul Energy: 0/100.

Niu Kun's gaze lingered on the race for a moment, but he simply shook his head and sighed. From this moment on, he truly bid farewell to his past life and would never be human again.

His identity is that of an inheritor of the ruins. Well, the only known information is that he has become the new master of this ruin. As for his level, it should be Niu Kun's current personal strength, which is the lower level of the second tier. It doesn't seem that high.

However, due to a lack of reference points, Niu Kun had to temporarily skip over what level it was equivalent to. The alignment of Lawful Evil was probably more like the devil's code of conduct, and the attributes were Niu Kun's more specific physical parameters.

The language was also easy to understand. Niu Kun tried speaking a few sentences of the original Chinese and the newly acquired Abyss Language. He felt that there was no hesitation or discomfort in the Abyss Language, as if it were his mother tongue.

Talent, on the other hand, is passively developed. Slaughtering Souls refers to Niu Kun's ability to acquire soul energy through slaughter, and this soul energy can directly improve Niu Kun's personal strength level, which is equivalent to... experience points?

Combat Instinct is self-explanatory and doesn't require much thought to understand. Maze Memory is a talent of the Minotaur, allowing them to always remember the paths they've taken and avoid being trapped in mazes. As for Dark Vision, it means that even in complete darkness, Minotaur can see clearly up to 15 meters away.

As for skills, they are things that Niu Kun can actively use, including some combat techniques and spell-like abilities. Charge is a charge, and Recklessness is a melee attack launched by Niu Kun, both of which have advantages. However, others will also have some advantages when attacking Niu Kun.

In Niu Kun's words, it means ignoring certain defensive maneuvers in exchange for a more powerful attack.

Soul energy, as mentioned above, is Niu Kun's experience points. Niu Kun can extract different amounts of soul energy through killing. As for soul energy, it is exactly what it sounds like.

After reviewing his own attributes, Niu Kun couldn't help but wonder again, what should he do next?

[Eroding another world, reconstructing labyrinthine ruins.]

Another prompt appeared, making Niu Kun realize that he was now the inheritor of the ruins, and naturally he could not let them continue to be abandoned. His next task was to restore the ruins.

But then another problem arises: how do I fix it?

Invading another world... but how should one carry out the invasion?

However, this time, no further prompts appeared. Does this mean that Niu Kun needs to investigate on his own?

Thinking of this, Niu Kun once again looked around. The dilapidated and dark palace ruins stood silently under the leaden sky. Even when Niu Kun shouted, there was no response.

Niu Kun had no choice but to start walking through this palace, which resembled an abandoned maze, searching for possible clues. Fortunately, as a minotaur, Niu Kun would not be trapped by the maze.

Finally, Niu Kun arrived at a wide square, and in the center of the square stood a giant bronze gate, its mottled rust making it look like an ancient artifact that had just been unearthed.

But Niu Kun's intuition told him that this was the giant gate he was looking for.

Niu Kun no longer hesitated and stepped towards the bronze gate. The gate, which was five or six meters high, made Niu Kun, who was standing in front of it, look quite small. Niu Kun pondered for a moment, and then slowly placed his hands on the gate.

In an instant, countless images flashed through Niu Kun's mind. His hands, which were pressed against the giant gate, instinctively tried to push it open. Suddenly, the bronze gate opened silently, and Niu Kun, caught off guard, stumbled and fell into it.

..........

The world is dead.

It was like a nightmare from which we could never wake up. Everyone in this apocalyptic world was like a candle flickering in the wind, with the possibility of death at any moment.

"Li! Yong! Hurry up! Come this way!"

The protagonist, Takashi Komuro, is running ahead, wielding a baseball bat and shouting at his ex-girlfriend and best friend as he desperately tries to increase his speed.

In the private high school of Tokoname City, a sudden biohazard outbreak and the rapid spread of an unknown virus plunge all teachers and students into extreme panic. Everywhere there are crowds of people fleeing for their lives, and...dead bodies attacking people everywhere?

Chapter Two: The Academy Apocalypse

"What...where did this come from?!"

Without realizing what was happening, Niu Kun stared wide-eyed at the modern campus, momentarily stunned. He closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly opened them again, only to be met with a scene of modern buildings that seemed completely out of place.

"Wait, isn't this art style a bit off?!"

Niu Kun looked somewhat surprised. He had thought that the other world would be a medieval world of swords and magic, but what he saw was a modern school campus.

However, it seems that there are problems with this campus as well.

[World: Highschool of the Dead.]

[Mission: Increase the world's erosion level.]

[Reward: Labyrinth Ruins Mastery.]

[Time limit: Seven days.]

Global erosion level: 0.01%.

[Task Details: The host is the source of erosion. All of the host's actions will increase the degree of erosion on this world, but different actions will increase the degree of erosion by different amounts, which the host must determine on their own.]

[Mission Prompt: This world is dead and destined for destruction. The only thing the host can do is to take away as many valuable 'items' as possible.]

"The Academy...Apocalypse...that sounds familiar..."

Looking down from the rooftop, groups of undead roamed the campus, while some teachers and students rushed around like headless flies, only to be grabbed and bitten to death or injured by the undead.

Listening closely, Niu Kun's expression turned strange. Judging from the cries of the living people, they were Japanese, and even Japanese. Just as Niu Kun was pondering, another exclamation suddenly rang out.

On the lower rooftop passageway, three people who looked like high school students were running quickly. Among them, a chestnut-haired giant cat-like girl holding a simple wooden gun was particularly eye-catching, making Niu Kun feel a little dizzy.

"Ah!"

Seemingly suffering from a significant mental shock, Miyamoto Rei let out a low growl and brandished a makeshift wooden gun made from a mop, shoving away an approaching corpse. The giant cat rose and fell with the girl's movements, its alluring curves too eye-catching.

However, in this life-or-death situation, the other two boys had no time or mood to observe. Their priority was to escape and flee from the pursuit of the undead. However, being unfamiliar with the characteristics of the undead, they were completely unaware that their actions and shouts were attracting the wandering undead.

“We have to be faster! Before these guys surround us…”

Clutching his bleeding shoulder, Jing Haoyong seemed to sense something was wrong. Fortunately, the zombies here were moving too slowly and didn't have any special abilities, making it a beginner-level Resident Evil experience.

"Hurry up, get up here!"

Suddenly, a shout came from a higher platform. The shout was unintelligible at first, and when I looked up, I couldn't see anyone. But at this point, the people who could speak must be the students who were still alive, right?

"There are people up there!"

"Let's hurry!"

Upon hearing the sound, the three, though panting from running, immediately perked up. They didn't even care that they couldn't understand the other person's language. Including the injured Jing Haoyong, the three mustered all their strength and quickened their pace, running towards the higher rooftop.

After the three of them ran all the way to the rooftop, they turned around without stopping and closed the small iron gate on the roof. They then used a wooden stick to block it, preventing the zombies behind them from breaking through the iron gate.

After finishing all that, the three exhausted people almost collapsed on the ground. At this moment, Miyamoto Rei looked around the rooftop with a puzzled expression and asked, "Huh? Just now... wasn't someone shouting from here?"

"Yes...yes, I also heard someone shouting...but I don't think I understood what they were saying?" Komuro Takashi was equally puzzled. He had only been focused on running away and hadn't thought much about it. Now that he thought about it, he realized he really hadn't understood.

"It sounds like...Chinese. Are there international students at the school?!"

Despite clutching his wound, Jing Haoyong was still somewhat knowledgeable. A thoughtful expression appeared on his pale face as he spoke uncertainly, which caught the attention of the other two.

"Yong, are you alright? Let me bandage you up again."

Seeing Miyamoto Rei anxiously trying to bandage Igo Hisashi's wound, Komuro Takashi, standing beside her, had a complicated expression and was about to say something when suddenly a clang was heard, and a broken steel pipe fell to the floor of the rooftop.

"Who...?!"

Komuro Takashi glanced at the half-section of the steel pipe with a puzzled look, then subconsciously looked up and saw a ferocious and terrifying monster watching them with great interest from the top of the stairwell.

Terrified, Komuro grabbed Miyamoto Rei's arm and pulled her backward. Caught off guard, Miyamoto staggered a few steps, then angrily pushed Komuro away and scolded him.

"Komuro-kun, what are you doing?!"

The distant address made Komuro Takashi feel a pang of sadness, but this was clearly not the time to dwell on such things. Komuro Takashi didn't bother to explain, and suppressing his fear, he stood directly in front of Miyamoto Rei, then pointed the baseball at Niu Kun above.

"Hi!"

Raising his hand in greeting, Niu Kun vaguely remembered that the scene before him was the starting point of his childhood anime. Although the anime had a terrible ending and was supplemented by many other fanservice anime, it still held a certain place in his memories.

However, considering Niu Kun's current image, his greeting would certainly not receive a positive response. There was a sharp, terrified scream, a girl whose face turned pale, a boy who was afraid but still tried to resist, and Jing Haoyong, who finally succumbed to the virus, his face turning blue and spitting out black blood.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful."

Niu Kun shook his head, but he was clearly no longer surprised by the small scene before him. He simply looked calmly at Jing Haoyong, who had died and turned into a zombie, and then stood up unsteadily.

"Yong! Be careful!"

Rei Miyamoto excitedly tried to pull Igo Hisashi over, but was stopped by Takashi Komuro. Rei looked at Takashi Komuro in confusion, but perhaps because Niu Kun was too frightening, Rei did not lose her temper this time.

"Li, don't go there, Yong... he's already dead."

"Wh...what?!" Miyamoto Rei was incredulous upon hearing this, but seeing Igou Yong staggering over, she instinctively wanted to back away.
