FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Xia Yan, are you alright? You don't look well."

Ai Lei's concern pulled Xia Yan out of his long speech about blessing the baby.

"It's okay, I just need some time to come to terms with it."

Xia Yan sighed.

"Then let's return to Uruk first. I've been away long enough; Uruk is likely to be attacked by monsters."

Gilgamesh proposed returning.

"Speaking of which..."

Xia Yan told Gilgamesh about the scene when he arrived in Uruk and the current situation, and was immediately scolded by Gilgamesh for "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Immediately following was the scene of Xia Yan chasing after the king's retreating figure, running towards the ground.

As for the information about the "Six Goddess Alliance," it's not too late to inform Ereshkigal after we return to Uruk and contact the other three Masters.

And so, before dawn, Gilgamesh returned to Uruk, to which he had always been so loyal.

After learning the details of Uruk's situation from Siduri, Gilgamesh couldn't help but complain. However, with Siduri as his "ace secretary," Gilgamesh quickly accepted reality and subsequently took back all the rights related to Uruk and the Monster Front from Xia Yan, including those concerning internal affairs.

"Xia Yan, your arrangements were still passable during my absence. In consideration of this achievement, I will waive the reward of that bottle of elixir for you."

Gilgamesh sat on his throne inside the temple and addressed Xia Yan, who was standing below.

"Lord Xia Yan, the King is actually praising you for doing a very good job."

Siduri smiled and translated Gilgamesh's words.

"Siduli, don't exaggerate my attitude!"

Gilgamesh said with dissatisfaction.

"The king is actually praising you for doing a good job."

Siduri made some minor adjustments.

"Siduli, I didn't ask you to remove the word 'very'."

Gilgamesh became even more dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, if you're going to praise me, then praise me properly. You're not young anymore, and you still speak so awkwardly."

Gilgamesh was speechless after being confronted by Siduri, so he could only change the subject.

"Have you made contact with the other three Masters? My time is very precious and cannot be wasted on meaningless waiting."

Morgan, standing next to Xia Yan, rolled her eyes at Gilgamesh.

As the person in charge of enabling Xia Yan to communicate with others on a daily basis, Morgan doesn't need to spend much time contacting the other Masters. The reason why communication hasn't been enabled yet is simply because Gilgamesh didn't issue any order to hold a meeting.

Soon, three communication boxes appeared in the temple, one containing Ai Lei in the Underworld, one containing Diao Yunshang on the North Wall, and one containing Lan Muyan at the main gate of Uruk. Meanwhile, Feng Yan, who was patrolling inside Uruk, rushed back to the temple in time.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin."

Xia Yan signaled to Ai Lei that they could begin sharing information.

"Wait a moment."

Gilgamesh interrupted Xia Yan.

"One person is still missing."

Everyone was puzzled. All the Masters had arrived, so who could be missing?

Gilgamesh immediately explained, "Among the Servants I summoned, there is one who will never die easily. The reason he hasn't appeared is most likely because he's hiding somewhere. This guy just has no willpower and likes to stand by and watch the fun. Am I right, Merlin?"

Gilgamesh's voice echoed through the temple, but half a minute passed and nothing changed.

Gilgamesh, growing impatient, crossed his arms and roared, "Merlin, if you don't come out soon, I'll have Morgan capture you. You know perfectly well what will happen to you then."

"If I reveal myself now, can you guarantee my safety, Your Majesty?"

A woman's voice echoed in the temple.

"Of course, I'll only give you five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one."

Just as Gilgamesh counted to one, many pale pink petals suddenly appeared on the ground beside the throne, followed by a female magician with a pure white wand, white robes, and white hair.

boom!

The moment the female magician appeared, a black gun was thrust straight at her face, but she nimbly dodged it.

"That was really dangerous! Your Majesty, didn't you say you'd protect me?"

The female magician's sweet, delicate voice gave off a pitiful feeling, but Gilgamesh just snorted disdainfully.

Just as Morgan was about to launch another attack, Xia Yan reached out and stopped her.

"Morgan, you should be able to tell that this Merlin is not the Merlin you remember."

"Xia Yan, you're right, the Merlin I remember was male, but that doesn't matter, Merlin still has to die!"

"Morgan, wait a minute!"

Xia Yan quickly hugged Morgan and comforted her, "At least she's on our side now. Even if you want revenge, it's not too late to wait until this trial is over."

"Um... I heard everything."

Mary scratched her face.

"By the way, I'm not actually Merlin, but Merlin's sister."

"You dare lie to me? Do you think I'm blind?"

Xia Yan was also furious at Meryl's actions, which only added fuel to the fire. If it weren't for the fact that she was the only NPC servant on our side in this trial, Xia Yan would have let Morgan vent his anger long ago.

"How horrible. Morgan, you were quite cute when you were little."

"Xia Yan, let me go! I'm going to kill this succubus today!"

"That's enough!"

Gilgamesh then took out a stone slab and struck the unsuspecting Merry on the head.

"it hurts!"

Mary covered her head, stuck out her tongue, and made an extremely cute face.

"Merlin, all I need to do is ensure that you can also synchronize with the relevant information. Since you are so annoying, just stay in spirit form."

Gilgamesh could tell that Morgan really wanted to kill Merlin, so he could only let her lay low for the time being.

"Gilgamesh, you were the one who summoned me, and now you're the one who's making me disappear."

Despite complaining, Mary obediently disappeared as a spirit.

After seeing it and getting rid of it, Morgan finally calmed down and then cast a spell on Xia Yan, euphemistically called "protecting Xia Yan from being infected by the Merlin virus".

Although Morgan did not explain the specific effects, Xia Yan guessed that it was most likely the "Anti-Merlin Armament Technique" that would automatically attack once Merlin got close to Xia Yan.

"Um, may I begin?"

"I asked from across the screen in the underworld."

"Okay, let's begin."

After receiving confirmation from Gilgamesh, Ereshkigal explained the matter of the "Alliance of the Six Goddesses".

Just like Xia Yan's initial reaction, the other three Masters all showed extremely solemn expressions when they heard the information that the number had doubled.

"Ereshkigal, now that you've severed your pact with the 'Alliance of Goddesses,' can you reveal the specific information about the six goddesses?"

Gilgamesh pressed on with the question.

Ailei nodded and said, "I will tell you everything I know. However, we didn't use our real names when we contacted each other before, but nicknames, so I don't know the real names of the other five goddesses. I can only tell you their nicknames. My nickname is Goddess of the Underworld, and the nicknames of the other five goddesses are: Goddess of Beasts, Goddess of the Sun, Goddess of Calamity, Goddess of Destruction, and Goddess of Despair."
