FATE: Target of Grand Master

The goddess of war is undoubtedly Gorgon, and the goddess of the sun is Quetzalcoatl. These two are no different from those in the original work. The key lies in the remaining three goddesses.

Natural disasters, destruction, and despair are all very abstract adjectives, and it feels like many gods fit the bill.

Xia Yan thought for a moment, but ultimately gave up.

With so few clues, all deductions are like rootless duckweed.

"Ereshkigal, even if I don't know your real name, you should have other information, right?"

Gilgamesh pressed on with his question.

"From my personal perspective, each goddess has a different method and motivation for destroying humanity. We won't interfere with each other's choices of methods, but in terms of motivation, the most proactive are the Goddess of Monsters and the Goddess of Despair. The remaining four goddesses, including myself, are not really that proactive."

"That's all?"

Gilgamesh was clearly not satisfied.

That's all.

"Don't you have anything to say about the location of each goddess?"

Ai Lei asked, somewhat confused, "Huh? Do I really have to say that? Can't you sense it?"

"Just because I know doesn't mean these Masters know. Since we're going to share information, we should do it thoroughly."

"Then just say it directly."

"I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself. Have you forgotten that you betrayed me and joined my side?"

Gilgamesh displayed an arrogant and condescending attitude.

"Tch, you make being lazy sound so noble and sophisticated. What do you mean by 'betraying' me? I'm clearly on Xia Yan's side."

"Um?"

Gilgamesh glared at Ereshkigal.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. From the auras I sense, the Goddess of Beasts is in the northwest, the Goddess of the Sun is in the southeast, the Goddess of Calamity is in the northeast, the Goddess of Destruction is in the southwest, but I can't sense the exact location of the Goddess of Despair."

"Hmm, just as I sensed. I had hoped you could provide more useful information, but it seems I shouldn't have had any unrealistic expectations."

"Gilgamesh, I've put up with you for too long! You..."

Beep!

Before hearing Ereshkigal's complaints, Gilgamesh shut down the communication system and then addressed the four Masters present and on the other end of the communication, saying, "That's the gist of the situation. Do any of you have any suggestions for me?"

Feng Yan spoke first, saying, "We have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time. Now that we know the locations of those goddesses, I think we should send someone to contact them. Maybe we can turn them over like we did with Ellie. Even if we can't turn them over, at least we can get some specific information."

"Very good, then the first thing to do is to determine the target of the strategy."

Compared to passively defending against the monsters' attacks, this is currently their only option to take the initiative, so Gilgamesh naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Leaving aside the Beast Goddess who is temporarily unable to move and the Goddess of Despair whose exact location is unknown, we can try to contact the remaining three goddesses. How about we start with the familiar Sun Goddess, Quetzal Koyatl?" Diao Yunshang suggested.

"I agree, but our time is extremely precious. Since the four of us Masters have gathered here, I think it would be more efficient to contact them simultaneously rather than one by one."

Xia Yan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

That makes sense.

Feng Yan, Lan Muyan, and Diao Yunshang all agreed.

"Leave the Sun Goddess to me," Feng Yan said first.

Lan Muyan immediately retorted, "Old Feng, you're so cunning! You actually picked the one who knew the most details first!"

That's right, that's Feng Yan's plan.

Quetzal Coyatt, nicknamed the Sun Goddess, is one of the "Three Goddesses Alliance" in the original work. As one of the supreme beings in the Aztec mythology of Central and South America, her strength is self-evident. Moreover, like Ereshkigal, she is a goddess who was successfully turned by Fujimaru Ritsuka in the original work.

Knowing the details and methods of defection, Feng Yan had chosen the option with the highest success rate.

"You can't say that. I'm prepared to wrestle one-on-one with Quetzal Koyatl. Besides, there's another option, isn't there? To the northeast of Uruk is Mount Aibif."

"You mean, Ishtar is the goddess of calamities? I feel that if it were her, she would have chosen the nickname 'Goddess of Venus'."

Lan Muyan pondered Feng Yan's suggestion.

"Even if Ishtar isn't the Goddess of Calamity, her methods for conquering her are still quite clear."

As Feng Yan spoke, he gestured with his eyes for Lan Muyan to go find Gilgamesh.

"Alright, then I'll go investigate the Goddess of Calamity in the northeast. However, Your Majesty, you should be aware of Ishtar's characteristics on Mount Abyv. If I want to win her over, I'll need some financial support."

Faced with Lan Muyan's request, Gilgamesh pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Alright, although that guy is a bit dim-witted, greedy, and loves to cause trouble, he's not inherently bad, and his combat strength is decent. He's worth recruiting. You can take thirty percent of the gems from my treasury with you."

"Thank you for the king's generosity."

Lan Muyan immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"There's still one Goddess of Destruction left in the southwest. Xia Yan, should we go or should we go?"

Diao Yunshang did not directly request to go, but instead discussed it with Xia Yan.

"From the perspective of defending the northern front, Diao Yunshang, your Servants are the most suitable. If you take them away, the rest of our Servants are not good at leading troops into battle."

Hearing Xia Yan's words, Diao Yunshang was somewhat disappointed, but she did not show any dissatisfaction.

"Then I will continue to guard the north wall."

"No, you should go to deal with the Goddess of Destruction in the southwest."

"Huh? But you just said..."

"Yes, I did say that your Servant is the most suitable for leading troops into battle, but my Master group values ​​fairness. I've already been to the Underworld, and Feng Yan and Lan Muyan have each found their own paths. Although you haven't joined us yet, I don't think we should treat you differently because of that. Of course, there's a condition for letting you leave: you must leave behind a Servant who can lead troops into battle to continue guarding the North Wall, and I will give you one of my Servants as compensation. What do you say?"

Diao Yunshang was silent for a moment before replying, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll leave Zhang Liao to defend the northern wall. Xia Yan, which follower do you plan to give me?"

Diao Yunshang's decisiveness surprised Xia Yan.

Considering the lack of combat power after Diao Yunshang left the North Wall, Morgan definitely had to stay. If the Beast Goddess Gorgon appeared at this time, Euryale could be very effective, but she couldn't be lent out. Miss Tsuru was still rushing to make her Mystic Code. The only ones left were Cú Chulainn Alter, Musashi, and Nero.

Besides Diao Yunshang, Xia Yan was also somewhat worried about Lan Muyan's combat strength, so he made a decision.

"Diao Yunshang, I'm lending you Musashi. Lan Muyan, I'm lending you Cú Chulainn Alter. I hope you can make good use of them, but don't be too obsessed with intelligence; your priority should be escaping unscathed."
