Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"I have to say, they really are sisters!"

"king……"

Siduri paid close attention to Gilgamesh's words, hesitated to speak, and ultimately chose to remain silent.

Compared to his attitude towards the goddess Ishtar, Gilgamesh's attitude towards Ereshkigal was quite mild and showed sufficient respect.

On the other hand, Quetzalcoatl's origins are somewhat terrifying; he is one of the supreme beings from the Aztec mythology of Central and South America.

In Aztec mythology, Quetzalcoatl was revered as a benevolent god who rejected human sacrifice and led people to prosperity. However, he eventually lost to Tescatlipoca and disappeared from the Aztec world, leaving behind a prophecy that he would one day return.

It's hard to imagine that a benevolent god who deeply loved humanity in the original scriptures would now be active in destroying humanity.

But no matter what, you can tell from the name that this is a rather troublesome person;

As for Medusa—

"The third daughter of the famous Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology, the younger sister of Euryale and Stheno..."

Before she completely degenerated into the monster Gorgon, Medusa did indeed possess the qualities of a goddess, but most importantly—

Mashu asked in confusion:

"But why did the other party acquire some of Tiamat's characteristics?"

Upon hearing two all-too-familiar names, Anna lowered her hat brim slightly, her eyes gleaming. Then, like everyone else present, she turned her inquisitive gaze toward Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had provided the information.

"I'm not too sure about that either."

This time, however, Fujimaru Ritsuka simply scratched her head and said:

"Perhaps it's the power granted by the Holy Grail?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, temporarily accepting this guess.

If that's really the case, then it means that the Holy Grail that Chaldea truly needs to retrieve is actually on Medusa!

As for whether the information provided by Fujimaru Ritsuka was accurate, surprisingly, no one had much doubt.

Although Gudako still has many secrets, her actions so far have proven her reliability; at least on this issue, she wouldn't lie.

"So--"

Merlin laughed:

"In short, this unexpected turn of events has saved us a lot of investigation work. Now, the next thing to consider is how to proceed, right?"

"Specifically, it's about finding a way to defeat the [Three Goddess Alliance]."

"Defeat the Three Goddess Alliance..."

Upon hearing this, Gudako swallowed nervously.

This objective was set on the very first night after arriving at the singularity, but now that the enemy's true identity has finally been revealed, it is indeed putting immense pressure on people.

After all, that was a genuine deity.

"No,"

But at that moment, Gilgamesh refuted Merlin's words and spoke:

"If the intelligence is correct, there is one more thing to do before we officially start the war with the Three Goddess Alliance."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Gudao and Mashu, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Ishtar had a pretty good impression of you guys?"

If he remembered correctly, when Ishtar came to cause trouble last time, she had said before leaving that she welcomed the Chaldea group to come and join her.

For Ishtar to say such a thing, it must mean that she is quite fond of them, right?

"what,"

Upon hearing this, Gudao quickly realized what was happening:

"You mean—?"

"That's right!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Gilgamesh's eyes, then he slammed his left hand heavily onto the throne again, and said angrily:

"If that stupid goddess were really an enemy, that would be one thing, but who would have thought she wasn't even a member of the Three Goddesses Alliance!"

"Were those previous actions just simply disruptive?!"

"What a bastard!"

"King..."

Siduri had to remind Gilgamesh to watch his words again, but this time, Gilgamesh ignored Siduri's advice and even asked in return:

"Did I say anything wrong?!"

"That girl is still causing trouble at this critical moment. I wish I could personally teach her a lesson!"

Sidu said helplessly:

"Lady Ishtar is, after all, the city goddess of Uruk..."

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh suddenly suppressed his anger and instead gave a cold laugh:

"Since you are the city god of Uruk, and have been playing outside for so long, it's time for you to officially assume your duties."

His gaze then returned to Gudao, and with a wave of his hand, he said:

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, your next task is to bring that incompetent, idiotic goddess back to me and tell her it's time to get back to work!"

"Yes!"

Gudao nodded subconsciously in agreement, but then hesitated for a moment before saying:

"But……"

Is it true that he slept with a goddess?

Seeing this, Gilgamesh leaned back slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said:

"Don't worry, I've already prepared the path to victory for you. I know that woman's weaknesses perfectly well!"

They love precious jewelry and are extremely greedy, yet they have absolutely no connection to wealth.

This is the nature of the goddess Ishtar.

Having amassed all the world's treasures, he had no shortage of gold and silver, making it easy for him to bribe others.

However, the two of them didn't get along very well, so if he did it, the effect might be greatly reduced. But if it was the Chaldea group, who had a good impression of Ishtar, the effect could be said to be immediate.

"!"

Meanwhile, upon hearing Gilgamesh and Gudao's conversation, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

This is her favorite part!

I'm experiencing some writer's block, so I need to take a break.

I'm experiencing some writer's block, so I need to take a break.

Although this time the story takes place in the anime version of Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, due to some uncontrollable factors (the kodachi), the plot and presentation of the anime version are somewhat strange in many places.

So I wanted to optimize it as much as possible by comparing it with the game text, but it made my head spin and I didn't know how to write it for a while.

Hey, hey, hey!

So I'll take a day off to sort out the plot and reply tomorrow.

that's all.

Chapter 429 Departure and Remaining Behind: Supporting the Warcraft Front

In order to successfully bring back the goddess Ishtar, Gilgamesh offered his full assistance, promising to provide up to 30% of the minerals in the Gate of Babylon as funds to win her over.

The person in charge of the plan was naturally Gudao and his group.

Meanwhile, Siduri recounted more details about Ishtar to everyone—

"The current Lady Ishtar is not a true god in the strict sense, but a being who was summoned by the head priestess and descended into the body of a human girl."

Although Uruk is ruled by a monarchy, it is not a unified entity; rather, it is a tripartite division of power between the monarchy, the sacrificial site, and the priestess's quarters.

The kingship naturally belongs to Gilgamesh, while Siduri represents the sacrificial site.

Siduri was willing to serve as Gilgamesh's assistant, but the priestess's side preferred the city god of Uruk, namely Ishtar.

However, Gilgamesh, as the "Wedge of Heaven," refused to fulfill the obligations bestowed upon him by the gods, choosing instead to become the king of humanity and walk alongside humankind. As a result, the gods had no choice but to leave.

But the priestesses did not give up. When they discovered the signs that this era was about to become a singularity, they regarded the instability of time and space as a golden opportunity to welcome the goddess's return.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity when King Gilgamesh opened the Babylonian Treasury and built a fortress north of Uruk, the High Priestess secretly summoned a 'soul that matched the goddess's divinity' and tried to summon Ishtar with that soul.

But unexpectedly, after Ishtar was summoned, she killed all the priestesses present.

Siduly said:

“We originally thought that Lady Ishtar killed the priestesses, but now it seems that Lady Ereshkigal, her sister goddess, was probably summoned at the same time that Lady Ishtar was successfully summoned.”

"The real murderer of the priestesses should be Lord Ereshkigal."

"Hmph, you deserve it!"

Gilgamesh sneered:

"Ereshkigal is no easy goddess to get along with. Those old fogies actually dared to provoke her; they were courting death!"

"In that case, I should thank them for helping to clean up my own house."

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. After all, they are also part of Uruk, and they have already paid the price."

Siduri sighed softly, offered Gilgamesh a perfunctory piece of advice, and then continued speaking to Gudao and the others:
