Even he himself was somewhat surprised that he would do such a thing, when he clearly had very strong willpower.

"Ishtar and Quetzal Koyatl, why haven't you attacked them yet? Have you already betrayed the Three Goddess Alliance?!"

Kingu, suspended in mid-air, looked at Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl, who were standing motionless in place, and couldn't help but shout angrily. He already had a bad feeling.

"Aren't contracts meant to be broken?"

The one speaking was Ishtar, who didn't blush at all, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I'm very sorry, but because of the agreement I made with this little brother, Jingu, our contract is no longer valid~" Quetzalcoatl flashed a bright smile and gave a YES sign.

"Oh dear, it seems we really have a huge advantage. Both goddesses have already betrayed us, and with only the last demonic beast mother goddess left, we should be able to deal with her no matter what."

Merlin smiled as he patted Fou, only to be kicked away hard by Fou the next second.

"It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly, but it's alright. With Mother's abilities, dealing with so many people shouldn't be a problem, after all, you are the Mother Goddess of Origin—Tiamat."

Jingu wasn't too surprised to see this, because in the original plan, he hadn't expected anything from them... or rather, they were also among those to be "eliminated".

Before the new century, even this so-called mother was the same...

"That's right, all of you die! Traitors, you damned traitors!!!"

Before he finished speaking, countless purple laser beams shot out from Gorgon's eyes and snake hair, launching an indiscriminate carpet attack on everyone!

Subsequently, countless monsters, drawn by Gorgon's call, charged straight towards Nip City from the vast plains of Mesopotamia.

"So be it, let us finish this in one battle, King Gilgamesh, your subjects, all of them... will die here meaninglessly."

"King Gu murmured."

"Ice Rune!"

Seeing this, Shen Qiu remained calm and simply snapped his fingers, freezing all of Gorgon's laser beams in mid-air, preventing them from descending.

"Oh? What kind of move is this?"

Merlin, who witnessed this scene, suddenly became somewhat surprised, as if Shen Qiu's move had awakened his long-dormant memories.

"It really brings back memories. I never imagined that anyone in this day and age would still..."

His words ended there.

Isn't this just his style all along?

"Before the battle, I have a few words to say to everyone."

Taking advantage of this rare moment of respite, Shen Qiu suddenly turned his back and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group.

"This battle belongs to Anna."

"A battle belonging to... Miss Anna?"

Mashu was somewhat confused, but Merlin stopped her from asking any further questions.

"Therefore, even I will only assist Miss Anna in this battle, and I hope that everyone will do the same."

Shen Qiu's tone was firm, so firm that it left no room for doubt.

"But if that happens..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was the first to speak, "Can Miss Anna really defeat that powerful serpent god on her own?"

"Don't worry."

Just then, the girl with the beautiful purple ponytail quietly took off her hood and raised the Undying Slaughter Blade in her hand.

"I was born for this."

"And that's why we came into this world."

Anna's tone was calm, but you could still hear the slight tremor in her voice.

"It's alright, trust them, Fujimaru. That little girl's will is probably much stronger than you imagine."

The speaker was Ishtar; it was unexpected to hear such serious words from this unconventional goddess.

"...To openly discuss a war meeting in front of me is a gross underestimation of my authority!" Jingu swung his hands violently, and thousands upon thousands of Heavenly Chains hurtled towards the crowd.

"Quetzalcoatl has just been through a great battle and hasn't recovered yet, so let him rest for now. Ishtar, Demon Lord Souji, you two go and hold off Kingu, okay?"

After countless chaotic encounters, Shen Qiu has begun to possess the level of the Type-Moon world's inherent skill, [Leadership A], making it difficult for others to refuse his words.

"I will obey your orders."

"Honestly, he's just a kid I've known for only a few days, yet he always orders people around like that!" Still displaying Ishtar's signature tsundere attitude, she rushed towards Kingu's direction with Demon King Souji.

"Anna!"

"Follow me!"

Without many words or further encouragement, Shen Qiu drew the katana that had been stuck in the ground and charged resolutely toward Gorgon (Li Qian's) direction!

"Gorgon, today is your death day!"

Without hesitation, the magic was unleashed, and the boy swung out a huge blade of light wrapped in aquamarine, severing more than ten strands of Gorgon's snake hair!

"That's going too far, you mage!"

"My wish is to destroy all humanity, to destroy Uruk, to destroy this world, to exterminate all mankind, to take revenge on all humanity, to make them taste the pain and nightmares I have experienced. Until I achieve this wish, I will absolutely, absolutely, never fall!"

Accompanied by Gorgon's roar, a terrifying beam of light called the Demon Eye shot towards Shen Qiu and Anna!

Chapter 404: The Fall of the Serpent God - Anna's Choice (Part 2)

"Mr. Shen."

At that moment, Anna, who was following Shen Qiu, suddenly opened her mouth.

“A long time ago, when I came into this world, I understood what the meaning of my existence was. So, I have always told myself firmly that I cannot cry, I cannot laugh, and I cannot get along with humans.”

"Because I'm scared, I'm really scared. I'm scared that once I develop feelings for them, I'll unconsciously fall in love with those feelings, and when it's time to say goodbye, I'll be reluctant to let go of those feelings."

"That night, the magician told me that humans are very complex creatures. There are good people and bad people. Some people can do the most heinous things, while others are praised for their goodness for all time."

"I am very lucky, I am really lucky. I did not encounter the bad people that Mr. Shen mentioned. From the moment I was born into this world, I met Merlin, I met Fujimaru, I met King Gilgamesh, and I met the kind old lady who was blind but still gentle. But I did not encounter any bad people."

"Yes, she said you'll definitely become the most beautiful girl in the city someday."

Shen Qiu gently responded to the girl named Anna's outpouring of emotions.

"That old woman guarded the withered flowers day after day in her sunless home, even though she was blind. I think this is probably what the magician was talking about when he told me about guarding."

"Yes, this is what 580 is called 'Guardian'!"

Looking at the demonic light wave that was already within reach, Shen Qiu remained extremely calm, because the purple-haired girl who had been following behind him had somehow surpassed him and leaped in front of him.

Then, he opened his eyes.

Gorgon's proud petrifying eye beam miraculously disappeared the moment the girl opened her eyes. The effect of the petrifying eye meeting the petrifying eye was... cancellation!

In the blink of an eye, Anna was standing in front of Gorgon. Facing the monster, which was dozens of times her size, the girl showed no fear whatsoever.

"You! What kind of monster are you, so ugly, so hateful? Get away, get away from me now!!!"

Each step Anna took brought immense discomfort to Gorgon, a discomfort that eventually drove him to madness by the time Anna reached him.

The snakes all over its body seemed to go berserk, launching indiscriminate attacks on Anna's location, but thanks to Shen Qiu's cover and Anna's agile movements, not a single shot hit.

"As expected, you still can't see me. If you could see me, I think... there might still be a chance to salvage the situation."

Anna looked at Gorgon, who had gone mad, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Hatake Sword Technique - Third Form - White Rainbow Piercing the Sun!"

Taking advantage of Gorgon's momentary loss of control, Shen Qiu leaped up from the ground, and his light blue katana, imbued with immense wind magic, pierced through the chest of this self-proclaimed goddess of magical beasts like a streak of aurora!

"Whoa!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Gorgon's mouth.

"Mother!"

Just as Jingu was about to help Gorgon, who was being besieged by Shen Qiu and Anna, a huge katana blocked his way.

"Our battle is not over yet."

The Demon God Commander said coldly that since it was an order given to her by Shen Qiu, she would carry it out no matter what.

"And me."

Riding on Maana, Ishtar looked at this "strongest weapon in human history" with a grin. It should be noted that she and her predecessor Enkidu have quite a history.

"Whether it's goddesses, humans, or familiars, they are all untrustworthy beings. You... will all be eliminated by the arrival of the new century!"

Upon seeing this, Jingu realized that he could not go to provide assistance, and could only bitterly utter harsh words.

"Anna, now!"

Before Gorgon could react to Shen Qiu's attack, she saw this invisible enemy rushing towards her from all directions, filling her with extreme fear.

“No, no, no!!!”

"I am the Mother Goddess of Creation, the Mother of all things. How could I be defeated by mere humans and familiars? That is simply impossible!"

As if sensing something, Gorgon felt a sense of terror, and she unleashed all the magic she had left, with countless purple lasers aimed at only one target—Anna!
