FATE: Target of Grand Master

When Xia Yan reached out his hand, Ai Lei instinctively wanted to grab it, but then she remembered the contract she was bound to.

"I still have the Goddess Alliance contract on me. As long as this contract exists, I cannot attack other goddesses, and the help I can provide to you will be very limited."

"That's easy."

Xia Yan turned to Morgan and said, "Morgan, could you please give me that?"

Morgan understood immediately and handed Xia Yan a short blade with a lightning-fast edge.

That's right, this is a copy of Medea's Noble Phantasm "All Talismans Will Break the Rules". Its effect is the same as the original. However, compared to the original, it is only a one-time consumable. But for Xia Yan, it is enough.

Where did this come from?

That was, of course, a replica made by the great witch Morgan herself based on the original Medea's treasure.

For a magical genius who can even replicate the Holy Lance Rungomminiad, a mere Demon-Slaying Blade is nothing.

"Don't worry, this will only break the contract on you."

As Xia Yan lightly pierced Ai Lei's chest with his short blade, several streams of magic dissipated from her body.

Ailei closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "The contract has actually been broken!"

Xia Yan casually tossed aside the short blade that had broken into two pieces, clapped his hands, and reached out his hand to Ai Lei again.

This time, without any hesitation, Ai Lei reached out and took Xia Yan's hand.

The moment they shook hands, Xia Yan finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. This trip to the Underworld had achieved his expectations; he had not only retrieved Gilgamesh's soul but also successfully won over Ereshkigal.

Just as Xia Yan was about to let go and leave, he found that his hand was still being held tightly by the goddess of the underworld.

"Ellie, is there anything else?"

Ereshkigal lowered her head, a faint blush rising on her face, and said in an extremely soft voice, "The contract that was just broken included not only the contract of the Goddess Alliance, but also my connection with this land. I am a Servant summoned by this land. Although I am currently in the Underworld and completely unaffected, if I leave my Underworld, I will return to the Throne of Heroes due to the interruption of my mana supply."

This situation was unexpected for Xia Yan. He never thought that one day he would be troubled by the fact that the props made by Morgan were too effective.

Wait a minute, this isn't a problem, it's clearly an opportunity!

"Then let's conclude the contract."

Xia Yan took the initiative to say what Ai Lei wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say.

"Is it really possible?"

Aileen's eyes immediately sparkled.

"Of course! It should be said that it is my honor, Xia Yan, to sign a contract with the mistress of the underworld."

Ai Lei's face turned even redder, and her entire brain began to steam.

Come on, come on.

Since their hands were still clasped, a red light emanated from the Command Seal on the back of Xia Yan's hand, and the two formed a contract.

Seeing Ai Lei withdraw her hand, lower her head, and look like a ripe red apple, Xia Yan smiled on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.

To retract the foreword, this trip to the Underworld not only met expectations, it far exceeded them. Being able to form a contract with Ereshkigal was an absolute steal!

"Then, Master, what do you need me to do?"

At this moment, Ai Lei felt like a bride on her first wedding day, both shy and expectant.

"Just call me Xia Yan."

Xia Yan smiled gently and said, "Considering the situation later, you may have to stay in the Underworld a little longer."

"It's alright, Xia Yan, just give the order."

Perhaps influenced by Xia Yanping's approachable attitude, Ai Lei's mood gradually relaxed.

"I need you to move the underworld to the underground of Uruk."

"Huh? But I've already decided to stop doing things that steal people's souls."

Ailei clearly misunderstood Xia Yan's meaning and began to struggle between "following the orders of her first Master but doing bad things" and "not doing bad things but refusing her first Master's first request."

Three black lines appeared above Xia Yan's head.

"I didn't say I wanted you to lure all the citizens of Uruk to the underworld; I just need you to dig the underworld underground in Uruk."

"But what's the point of doing that?"

Ereshkigal clearly didn't understand. Surely it wasn't that her Master enjoyed watching her work as a miner?

Could it be that the Master is a civil engineer and wants to dig the oldest tunnel ever built by humankind in this land?

Xia Yan was obviously unaware of the wild thoughts in Ai Lei's mind, but in order to clear up Ai Lei's doubts, he still explained the general plan for defeating Tiamat in the original work.

"So there's such a world."

Ai Lei's sigh caught Xia Yan's attention.

"Wait a minute, Ereshkigal, what do you mean by 'there's another world like that'? Does that mean the world we're in now is very different from the world I'm talking about?"

Ai Lei touched her chin with her fingers, seemingly thinking about how to explain.

"The general direction is not much different, but there is no 'Three Goddess Alliance' here."

Ai Lei's words confused Xia Yan even more.

"Ereshkigal, didn't you say before that you were bound by the contract of the Three Goddesses Alliance?"

"I meant 'Goddess Alliance,' not 'Three Goddess Alliance.'"

Xia Yan thought back carefully and realized that Ai Lei had indeed only said "Goddess Alliance" before, not "Three Goddess Alliance". He had just assumed that Ai Lei's "Goddess Alliance" meant "Three Goddess Alliance".

The difference must be the word "three". Is it possible that there are three goddesses in the "Goddess Alliance"?

"Xia Yan, aren't you underestimating me too much?"

Xia Yan looked at Gilgamesh, who had suddenly joined the conversation, with a puzzled expression.

"If it were merely the 'Three Goddesses,' how could I have arrived in the Underworld so quickly?"

Xia Yan had already realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately asked, "So how many goddesses are there in this 'Goddess Alliance'?"

Ereshkigal and Gilgamesh exchanged a glance.

"Ereshkigal, you were inside once, so you should explain."

Gilgamesh handed over the task of explaining to Ereshkigal.

Ai Lei didn't refuse and explained to Xia Yan, "The full name of our 'Goddess Alliance' is 'Six Goddess Alliance'."

"The Alliance of Six Goddesses!"

Xia Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Back then, Fujimaru Ritsuka was already busy dealing with the "Three Goddesses," but here he was, it was doubled, right?

However, not only has the number of goddesses doubled, but we haven't seen a single NPC servant on our side, except for Gilgamesh.

No, Gilgamesh is a human living in this era, which means that they don't have any NPC Servants at all!

What's so special about this?
