Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"So, you should also enjoy this kind of crisis, okay?"

Therefore, in response to Quetzalcoatl's request, Gudaf firmly replied:

"Sorry, I can't enjoy fighting."

"--ah?"

Upon hearing this, Quetzalcoatl's smile froze slightly, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

"I'm almost frozen from overwhelming grief... I can't even enjoy fighting, it's a complete rejection of myself..."

She pouted sadly, her tone resentful, but the next moment, she raised her eyebrows and questioned sharply:

"Okay, then I'll ask you a question in return!"

"What does fighting mean to you?!"

Gudao hesitated for a moment, then spoke firmly:

"It is something that must be overcome with all one's might for the joy that follows the battle!"

Upon hearing Gudao's answer, Merlin and Mashu couldn't help but smile knowingly. As bystanders and companions, they knew perfectly well that Gudao never liked fighting and that everything he did was simply to survive.

"—So this is the kind of person you are. That's a brilliant answer, so brilliant it makes me want to strangle you."

On the other side, Quetzalcoatl also laughed, saying with great delight:

"In that case, hurry up and gracefully overcome this obstacle! Ah, I can't wait, I'm so excited!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gudao immediately gave the order:

"Mash, and everyone else, I'm counting on you for the fight!"

"Yes, Mashu, prepare to attack!"

The battle is about to break out.

Mash, Anna, Ishtar, and the leopard-man instantly clashed with Quetzalcoatl, with Merlin providing support from the sidelines, initiating a righteous five-on-one gang fight.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka, she pretended to slack off on the sidelines, observing the current situation from the sidelines.

Now, the first test has been passed.

Like Merlin, Quetzalcoatl understood the current situation and knew that Tiamat, still slumbering in the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers, was the final and most terrifying enemy.

Her current actions are a test for the Chaldea group, based on the above circumstances.

Is it better to live a life of mere survival under the protection of the gods, or to forge a path that belongs to humanity itself?

Faced with an invincible enemy, would you choose to submit?

Are the Chaldea group truly capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of restoring humanity?

Gudaf's answer was exactly what Quetzalcoatl had hoped for, proving that he aligned with her beliefs and was someone she could help.

However, whether or not we can get her help depends on her decision-making ability.

It's not just about words, but also about proving yourself through actions.

Back to the point.

Despite it being a righteous five-on-one brawl, Quetzalcoatl showed no signs of being at a disadvantage, fighting the five men on equal terms with his own strength, and even gradually showing a tendency to turn the tables and suppress them.

Because, as Ereshkigal had warned, Quetzalcoatl, as the pinnacle of good, is immune to attacks from the good.

Unfortunately, all five people currently fighting are of the good attribute and are completely unable to inflict any real damage on Quetzalcoatl.

However, being able to hold off the opponent is enough.

Under Dr. Roman's instructions, Gudaf ran up the steps and quickly reached the top of the temple, where he stood before the Sunwalker.

"Fujimaru, hurry! That stone on the temple is the Sun's Reach, the enemy's second Noble Phantasm! If we destroy it, the entire temple will become nothing more than ordinary decorations!"

"Waaah! Mash and the others have fallen!"

"Fujimaru, hurry! This is our only chance to defeat that evil goddess—!"

"Fu~! Fu~!"

Not only Dr. Roman, but also Fou urged on as she sensed Quetzal Coyattel approaching from behind.

"evil……?"

However, Gudao stopped what he was doing, shook his head hesitantly, and said:

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I still don't think the other party is an evil goddess, and I don't think that's what the other party would want to see."

Moreover, this is not what he wanted to see.

He has no intention of changing his goal of recruiting the other party as a partner.

But how do I do it...?

At that moment, Gudao suddenly remembered what the leopard man had once said—

'The only thing that could possibly shake Kukul is a head-on confrontation where their very souls are at stake, isn't it?'

"—So, you've finally figured it out?"

The leopard-man appeared beside Gudaofu at some point, displaying an expression of 'promising talent,' and nodded with a smile, arms crossed:

"What Kukul wants to see is not the victory brought by Servants, but the determination of humanity, meow!"

Meanwhile, below the temple, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw Gudao above stop what he was doing and smiled slightly.

In that case, the second test should also be successfully passed.

Sure enough, in order to stop Quetzalcoatl from advancing further and to protect Gudaff, Ishtar also flew to Gudaff's side, and then the two began to communicate.

Although they couldn't hear what they were saying, soon, to Mashu and Merlin's astonishment, Ishtar lifted Gudako two hundred meters into the air, and then—

Throw it down heavily!

"senior?!"

"Catch me quickly—!"

In mid-air, Gudao's wailing echoed throughout the temple. At this critical moment, Quetzalcoatl, who was originally an enemy, suddenly intervened and saved Gudao!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 464 Joining, Contract, Gudako-san has another plan?

In reality, Gudao simply wanted to try to face Qezar Koyatt with his own strength, even if it was just a simple leap. As long as he could show the other party his determination/soul, he would consider it a success.

Unfortunately, Ishtar seemed to have misunderstood the definitions of determination and diving, and without explanation, she took him to a height of 200 meters, turning a diving attempt to prove determination into a life-or-death dive, almost resulting in a GG (game over).

Fortunately, although the process was somewhat tortuous, the ending was beautiful.

"You should thank me for being a legendary wrestler, you know?"

"The so-called 'flying tackle' technique can easily result in death if either side lacks top-notch skills, so I'm extremely nervous!"

Quetzal Koyatl complained with lingering fear, then asked curiously:

"So why did you do that? Didn't you consider what would happen if I dodged it?"

Gudako scratched his head and said:

"I believe you will catch me. Because you deeply love humanity, don't you?"

"—!"

Quetzal Koyatl's pupils widened slightly, and then he pulled Gudaf into his arms.

"Eh?!"

"Seriously—we lost, we completely lost—!"

Quetzal Koyatl said excitedly:

"I hereby declare my immediate withdrawal from the Three Goddess Alliance, and I will now sign a contract with Fujimaru!"

"Huh, it means—?!"

Upon hearing this, Gudao looked up at her in surprise, while Quetzalcoatl nodded happily in affirmation:

"That's right, from today onwards you are my Master!"

"This kind of development..."

Quetzal Koyatl's swift defection caught everyone off guard, leaving them with complex expressions.

Mashu, however, seemed more concerned about Gudako being held in his arms, and her expression was slightly awkward.

Finally, after the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Gudao successfully signed a temporary contract with Quetzalcoatl, and Merlin, standing to the side, chuckled:

"In any case, congratulations on signing the contract. In that case, we should be able to take over that divine axe, right?"

Quetzal Koyatl laughed:

"Of course, that axe was one of your targets too, right?"

Merlin nodded, then looked at the enormous axe, somewhat troubled, and said:

"That's true, but we didn't expect the axe to be so big. We couldn't move it with our strength."

"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Ishtar looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Can that fake, glittering Noble Phantasm you have contain it?"

"I'm afraid not."

Fujimaru Ritsuka helplessly spread her hands and said:

"After all, it's just a replica, so the space inside is limited. Although it's more than enough for me, it's still too much for me to fit such a big axe."

That was literally a forty-meter-long axe.

"?"

Quetzal Koyatl glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously, then smiled and said:
