Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Having said that, he waved his hand, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse moved out simultaneously.

"Go! Crush these things to ashes and annihilate their souls!!!"

The Crimson Knight charged ahead, the embodiment of war summoning countless forms of destruction and weapons born from human warfare, and plunged into the clouds to engage in battle with the two-horned thunder and the ruler of the sun!

boom!!!!

What greeted the crimson war knight was a bolt of lightning that pierced through the heavens and earth, seemingly about to tear the sky apart!

That was a thunderous roar, a tearing sound, hurled by the might of the supreme god. It was not a treasure, nor was it the release of all power, but even so, its power was still terrifying!

Thunder illuminated the dark night sky, and a thick bolt of lightning covered the scarlet knight, seemingly obliterating him in an instant!

Was the war lost?

No, no, the crimson knight's form was destroyed, but it did not die. The consciousness from the outer multiverse that controlled it realized, under the thunder that tore the sky apart, that the war of mortals could not threaten the power of the supreme god!

The thunder of the supreme god did not fall upon this planet; it was a war fought by humankind.

But that's alright, he has his own ways of dealing with things, coming from a diverse background.

322

This 'Zeus'!

The next moment, the crimson aura continued to condense and converge, and then, amidst the rolling scarlet flames, a brand new figure emerged!

His pale skin, enveloped in countless ashes, and the bloody scars running through his legs, chest, and back, along with his upper body of steel-cast muscles and scars, and his lower body wrapped in red cloth, made him look like an ancient warrior from a barbaric era!

But what is most striking are the two burning, cursed Chaos Blades in his hands.

"Zeus!!!"

The warrior who once slew Zeus from another world roared, and under the power of war, the power that had briefly manifested in this universe was completely replicated.

And now, it is time for this god-slayer who once shattered two mythologies to face the possessor of Zeus's power!

The twin blades, wreathed in chaotic fire and carrying the soul of Sparta, hurtled straight down like a fiery meteor towards the thunder-wrapped chariot in the sky.

war!!!!

Just as the war entangled the Twin Horned Kings, Saber, who was not a Grand rank but was more than a Grand rank herself, was to deal with the Pale Knight of Plague and Domination, while Hassan of the Shadow Kingdom kept a close eye on the Knight representing famine.

Tsurugi didn't care about the battle here; she simply let her control the crown and take her away from the battlefield.

He himself temporarily relinquished his Apocalypse Knight form and chose to activate the Dragon Heart, transforming himself into the form of the Comet Dragon.

"Come on, goddess. You've interrupted my pleasure, so the first one is you."

Stared intently at by those seemingly mechanical dragon eyes, Ishtar felt a chill run down her spine, a chill that seemed to spread from the inside out.

But her pride and confidence as a goddess wouldn't allow such weakness to show in the slightest. Instead, she clenched her fists and proudly declared...

"Want to challenge the gods? Fine, I'll show you the power of this goddess, but now, catch up with me first!"

Without hesitation, she steered the Sky Boat Ma Anna like a golden meteor flying into the distance!

No, it shouldn't even be called flying; it was more like constantly using Maanna's characteristics to perform spatial jumps!

Ishtar's tactics and ideas are very straightforward.

Create distance, create enough space, and then continuously bombard the opponent with your Noble Phantasms!

Because Ishtar knew very well that her affinity with 'death' as ​​a goddess was not good, in fact, it was quite bad, and the death she controlled was far more terrifying than her autistic sister.

Since he wants to compete with her in speed, what a foolish man he is! Let her bestow upon him a defeat befitting his status!

However, just as she had almost flown halfway across the Earth, she noticed behind her the silver light that was infinitely approaching, trailing a scarlet tail of flame!

What?! Ishtar's pupils dilated! What is that thing?! How could it catch up to me, who can teleport, just by using its speed alone?

Such speed—the Dragon of Albion?!

"Too slow, Ishtar. Is this the tactic you think can defeat me? Is this what you consider speed and power?"

Tsurugi's voice rang in Ishtar's ears like a ghost, and the next moment, a sense of crisis that made Ishtar's scalp tingle continued to assail her!

"You're not trying to make me laugh, are you?"

The crimson glow, accompanied by the terrifying condensation of true ether, then transformed into an even more frightening speed and power, making Ishtar feel a burning sensation on her back!

"Mountains Shock Stars (An Gal Ta Kigal She)!!!"

Without time for calibration or other reasons, Ishtar could only unleash her conceptual Venus stored in the Sky Ark Maana with all her might!

The golden radiance of the goddess collided with the blood-red dragon shadow! Pure power and speed clashed—it was a clash of power itself. God and dragon, at this moment, who the hell had won?

The answer is—the next moment, accompanied by a mournful cry, Ishtar plummeted straight down!

It is a victory for the dragon, a victory for the thrush.

In this race of speed, he left the fastest goddess far behind, crashed down, and won!

229. Victory over the Goddess, Battle against the Heavenly Beetle

"Damn it, how can you be so useless? How come you even lost to a mere dragon in speed?"

After shooting down Ishtar's plane, Tsurugi didn't stop. Instead, he caught up instantly and delivered another kick!

"Useless! If you keep fighting like this, you'll only end up eating shit!!!"

"Gurgle~~~ Such speed, such powerful magic! No, I can't let him press his advantage!"

As Ishtar plummeted toward the Caucasus Mountains below, she was still pondering. Losing in a contest of speed was unusual for her, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that she, with her goddess-like qualities, had not suffered any irreparable injuries!

"No, we can't compete on speed anymore. We have to defeat him here, right now, with the most direct force!"

But first, stall the opponent!

The Manifestation of Beauty: B

Without hesitation and without feeling any shame, Ishtar unleashed the power of the goddess of beauty upon Tsurugi, who was pursuing her!

This is a powerful force capable of bewitching all things, inorganic matter, and even the laws of physics. Under its control, even arrows shot by great heroes can be sent back the way they came.

All she wanted was to bewitch Tsurugi for a single moment!

"Guaah!!!"

But the next moment, what greeted her goddess-like face was a merciless claw strike from Tsugumi!

Her delicate skin was torn apart, and Ishtar cried out in pain as the blood and flesh of the gods flew everywhere. But more unbearable than the agony of being disfigured was the humiliation of her charms having no effect whatsoever!

"How useless! Has my charm really dropped to this level after possessing a human?"

A lazy yet strangely familiar voice echoed in Ishtar's mind, and upon hearing it, she immediately understood who it was!

That was her, that was Ishtar, or rather, that was the echo of the goddess.

That was the echo left by Ishtar before she left the planet's surface, in the form of a blessing (curse) to the world—a program engraved in the planet that would automatically replicate itself under certain conditions.

Whenever Gilgamesh and Enkidu appear at the same time, this program will be automatically activated, sending a copy of the goddess's will to a certain place in the world to exact revenge on them.

But now was clearly not the time to dwell on this grudge, and Ishtar understood that she had come to help her.

So after muttering "Urusai," she chose to release control of her spirit origin, and in an instant, the goddess's power penetrated into it!

The black hair that once belonged to this human turned snow-white, and then, his beautiful eyes shone with an even more dazzling, beautiful radiance!

"Immerse yourself in true charm!"

The Manifestation of Beauty: EX

It is an irrational, alluring power that combines and embodies all the charm of the world, but the object of its allure is not Tsugumi—but his heart!

Ishtar keenly realized that Tsugumi was an outsider who was completely immune to special attacks. These conceptual special attacks had little to no effect on him, almost zero!

Therefore, we must exert influence on the areas where we can intervene, and on the things within his body that belong to this world!

Unleash your allure, target: the heart of Albion!

Ishtar's charm struck Tsugumi's heart, piercing through his dragon body and penetrating deep into his dragon heart!

In a brief moment, the heart of Albion stopped beating.

But it only lasted for a brief moment. Faced with the heart of the most supreme fantasy species, even a goddess...

323

The power can only control things for a fleeting moment.

But this moment is enough!

Successfully interfering with the heart of Albion, the one-second cessation of its beating caused a momentary short circuit in Tsurugi's magic. Although it did not endanger the whole, it still created a momentary opening in Tsurugi's dragon body.

At this moment, Ishtar, with her goddess-like personality, is a ruthless woman who will not let any opportunity slip by!

"Then you shall be defeated by me, Ishtar!"

The goddess proclaimed this, and then, through the spirit origin she possessed, she summoned a Noble Phantasm that did not belong to the Archer class!

It was a warhammer with seven intertwined snakes at its top. It was called the Jabal Hamrin Breaker, a legendary A+++ rank Noble Phantasm that was said to have captured Mount Ebifu.

What it possesses is truly destructive power, enough to destroy a city with a single blow, symbolizing the sky's brute force that compels the world to kneel!

"Heh, wanna have a strength contest? Alright, let's have a power match!!!"

The momentary short circuit did not cause Tsurugi to panic at all. Since his opponent wanted to fight him, he would just give it to her!

Destructive power, Apocalyptic Knight, one hundred million souls, loading complete!

In an instant, with the souls of a full 100 million people as the stake, Tsurugi abandoned everything else and also condensed the Nightfall Warhammer, ready to fight Ishtar to the bitter end!

"Outrageous! This goddess refuses to believe that my power is inferior to yours!"

Ishtar refused to believe in evil, and instead gathered her strength, determined to fight the Tsurugi River to the bitter end!

In an instant, the hammers collided, and the extreme forces canceled each other out, turning into endless shockwaves that shaved off most of the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains!

"—Wow, that's amazing!!!"

Ishtar couldn't help but think to herself, this power was something she couldn't even match!

Gazing upon the unparalleled power and handsome face of this otherworldly saint before her, Ishtar, lost in thought, blushed crimson—

"Quack! In a life-or-death struggle, you crazy old woman are thinking about such lustful things?"

However, the goddess's favor did not please Tsurugi; instead, he became enraged. Using the power of his warhammer to suppress her, he kicked out, striking Ishtar squarely in the face and knocking her to the ground!
