Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

"Oh?"

Merlin noticed that Shen Qiu and Anna, the Third Magician, had disappeared from the party at some point, and he clearly sensed something, but he didn't say anything.

roof.

"Why does Anna hate humans?"

Shen Qiu gazed at the beautiful starry sky of 2600 BC. This era lacked the industry and massive buildings of later generations; the air was fresh, and the sky was incredibly beautiful.

"Is this the kind of thing you can just ask?"

The girl didn't respond to the boy directly, but continued speaking after taking a bite of the butter cake.

"But it doesn't matter if I tell you, because even I don't know. When I first woke up, I was in the dense forest, and I didn't know anything. I was in a state of complete confusion."

"When I first saw humans, I couldn't help but want to rush up and kill them, but Merlin stopped me and told me that I couldn't do that, otherwise I would be no different from those monsters."

Anna said, taking bites of the butter cake one by one.

"Anna, I have something I want to tell you."

From who knows where, Shen Qiu conjured up another vanilla cream cake.

"Human beings are inherently complex and difficult to define, but complexity and difficulty in definition are not reasons for us not to engage with them."

"I have traveled through various parallel worlds, met good people and bad people, people who can entrust all their knowledge to others even though it is only the first time they have met, and people who will easily give up their lives just for fame."

"Because human nature is inherently complex, that's why we need to understand them, to know who we should associate with, and to know who we should avoid."

"It's too much trouble, I'd rather not get involved."

The boy was stunned, as if struck by lightning, after his long and rambling speech. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Pfft."

"That wretched Merlin is eavesdropping again."

Before Shen Qiu could react, a magnificent purple scythe was flung from Anna's hand, its target being Merlin, the Flower Magician who was eavesdropping behind the wall!

“I am Sevent, which means I will disappear, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t come into contact with me, since in the end I will always leave this world.”

"Is that so? But not necessarily."

As he spoke, a white light suddenly flashed from Shen Qiu's body, and the girl's eyes were so strongly attracted by the boy that she couldn't take her eyes off him.

The power of the third law—to give others real life.

"Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Shen Qiu, the Third Magician, it's a bit too early! That girl, that girl hasn't had time to become human yet."

Merlin, who had just stood up from the rubble, coughed and his gaze toward Shen Qiu changed considerably. It seemed that this mage was quite fond of meddling in other people's business, which was quite a headache.

"Too."

After hearing Merlin's warning, Shen Qiu withdrew the power of the Third Law, and then asked as if he had suddenly remembered something.

"Is Anna's agreement with Mr. Merlin just a temporary one? It's just a verbal promise without any real commitment."

That's true, after all...

At this point, Merlin suddenly had a bad feeling, and sure enough, this bad feeling was confirmed in the next second.

"Miss Anna, would you be interested in signing a true contract with me, the Third Mage Shen Qiu? I will lead you to different worlds and let you meet all sorts of different people. Are you interested?"

Shen Qiu smiled and extended his hand, and a six-pointed star magic circle slowly appeared beneath his feet.

"Hey, hey, hey! You're actually trying to steal my girlfriend right in front of me!" Merlin stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, but at this moment, all he could do was watch.

"Of course I'm willing. As long as Master isn't Merlin, it doesn't matter who he is."

After leaving those words, the girl and boy decisively took each other's hands.

Chapter 396: First Encounter with Ereshkigal - Journey to the Underworld

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! What kind of evil magic did that damned mage use to make my wounds still not heal!"

Inside the temple, which had been transformed by Gorgon with his blood, she flailed her snake hair in impotent rage while pressing her hand tightly against the wound on her abdomen that had been pierced by the life-disintegrating ray.

The energy from the Voidlands of Icathia continues to imbue the wound with the attribute called "Annihilation," keeping it in a state of immobility.

"Mother, it's all my fault for being so careless."

Jingu looked at Gorgon, who was in so much pain he seemed to be going crazy, and a strange light flashed in the corner of his eye, but it was fleeting and Gorgon did not notice it.

"The old humans will be eliminated, and the new humans will become the masters of the world, and even you, a mage, will be no exception..."

Uruk, the sewers.

"Aha!"

With a delicate shout from the girl, the spirit in front of her was cleaved in two by the Undying Blade of Slaughter in her hand. The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and then turned her gaze to Shen Qiu.

"Did Anna always replenish her magic power this way before?"

The girl nodded. Because she didn't have a formal Master, she had to hunt souls to replenish her magic power, and countless unclaimed souls drifted in the sewers of Uruk.

Shen Qiu smiled and looked at Anna, who was still fighting the undead, without saying anything. If hunting the undead was to replenish magic power before, why would she do it now that she had him, a mage, as her master?

It's obvious they're afraid the undead will corrupt the people on the ground.

This also proves that Anna still loves humans, but she is not good at expressing it. She is better at proving it through actions than through words.

Just as Shen Qiu was racking his brains over this arrogant girl, the surrounding scenery had changed at some point. The neat marble of the Uruk sewers had disappeared, replaced by mottled gravel.

There are also rugged paths that resemble underground nests.

"here it is..."

Upon seeing this, Shen Qiu was shocked. The spatial displacement had been completed without his complete anticipation, and he hadn't even noticed it at all.

With neither Demon King Souji nor Anna by his side, all he could do now was keep walking along the rugged path in front of him.

Before long, the scene before him suddenly opened up, with stalactites hanging everywhere and eerie blue flames trapped in cages along the roadside. Shen Qiu now knew where he was.

Underworld!

The ruler of death and the undead, the mistress of the underworld, the territory of Ereshkigal!

"Really..."

Seeing this, Shen Qiu tapped his temple in annoyance. Why was he so popular? He had just finished fighting Gorgon and now he was in the territory of another goddess.

Just as he was feeling quite distressed, a door blocked his way.

"Question! Venus, the goddess of the sky and harvest, and Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld, who represents the earth and death—who is more beautiful?"

Shen Qiu's lips twitched as he looked at the massive stone gate. For some reason, he suddenly had an urge to punch it open. However, reason ultimately prevailed. After all, in the Underworld, Ai Lei could be said to rule everything.

Even a mage like myself would have to obey orders in the underworld.

"of course--"

"The mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal!"

Actually, saying such things wasn't too contrary to her conscience, after all, she and Ishtar were sisters, and the two didn't look that different.

One stone door opened, and another appeared. Shen Qiu shouted "Ereshkigal is the most beautiful goddess" a full two times before finally reaching the end, a vast, desolate land.

Then--

Suddenly, a storm broke out!

"Foolish human, how dare you step into the underworld with your mortal body! It seems that today is undoubtedly your death day!"

A huge white skeleton suddenly appeared on the ground of the desolate land, and Shen Qiu could clearly sense the aura of death emanating from it.

In other words, the power of immortality granted to him by the Third Magic has become ineffective.

This also indirectly shows that Ereshkigal, as the mistress of the underworld, possesses a power of death that is superior to her own.

"Alright, I won't scare you anymore, dear Third Magician Mr. Shen Qiu." Just as Shen Qiu pulled Yue Yin out of his spatial ring, the skeleton in front of him suddenly changed into a beautiful girl wearing a brown coat.

The true mistress of the underworld—Ereshkigal!

"You're the one who brought me to this place, aren't you?"

Shen Qiu pressed her head, somewhat speechless. She knew that the underground of Uruk had been basically hollowed out by Ereshkigal, all because of the dislike that the goddess of the underworld had for King Gilgamesh.

That's why she joined the so-called "Three Goddess Alliance".

"Whhhhhh what what? You're the one who went the wrong way! I didn't bring you here on purpose!"

..... .... ....

Like a girl whose secrets have been read, Ai Lei's cheeks immediately turned crimson, and she gave a rather weak explanation while forcing a laugh.

"Actually... although I'm underground, I know a little bit about what's happening above ground."

As she spoke, Ai Lei turned her gaze to a soul imprisoned in a cage. As the ruler of the underworld, she could extract the souls and memories of the dead at will.

"A stranger from a distant, unknown place has come to Uruk. This stranger is a traveler who wanders through various worlds. This is simply wonderful! I would be missing out if I didn't meet you!"

Looking at the dancing Ereshkigal in front of him, Shen Qiu sighed softly, as if lamenting the fate of this goddess.

When the gods were assigning positions, although they were sisters, Ishtar was made the goddess of Venus, representing harvest and joy, while her sister Ereshkigal was assigned to the underworld, a place no one wanted to come to or go to.

Like being imprisoned, unable to leave, he could only keep company with the spirits of the dead all day long. He didn't know when this kind of life would end. It was because of this that Shen Qiu, although forcibly taken to the underworld, did not get angry.
