FATE: Target of Grand Master

Tell me about the situation on your end.

Quetzal put Feng Yan down and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Since Feng Yan mentioned the "Six Goddess Alliance" earlier, it means that Uruk's side already has some understanding of their situation. In addition, they also know that they will eventually face the real Tiamat. Quetzal doesn't believe that Uruk would be completely unprepared.

Feng Yan then briefly explained the situation in Uruk, where there were four Masters, including himself, and that the goddess Ereshkigal had joined them.

"No wonder the alliance contract on your body was missing a part before. However, I am somewhat surprised that you were able to persuade the mistress of the underworld to join first."

"That's thanks to our other Master. Actually, while I was in the forest trying to persuade you, our other two Masters were also on their way to find the 'Goddess of Destruction' and the 'Goddess of Calamity'."

After successfully completing his mission, Feng Yan couldn't help but start worrying about the situations of Lan Muyan and Diao Yunshang.

Quetzal's expression instantly turned serious.

"Although I don't know the true identities of those two, one thing I'm certain of is that they are both extremely powerful goddesses. From my perception, the 'Goddess of Destruction's' pure divinity is in no way inferior to mine, while the 'Goddess of Calamity' possesses an overwhelming wildness. Your two companions are probably in for a rough time."

After traveling for most of the day, Lan Muyan and his group finally arrived at the foot of Mount Ebifu.

It was already late, and a large number of fallen rocks had piled up at the foot of Mount Ebif, as if a landslide had occurred not long ago.

Without a suitable mount like Red Hare, Lan Muyan and the others decided to rest at the foot of the mountain for the night and climb the mountain the next day when visibility was better.

Nothing happened that night, but the next morning, a series of tremors woke Lan Muyan.

Is this an earthquake?

Lan Muyan hurriedly crawled out of the mountaineering tent and saw that the entire Mount Ebifu was trembling, with rocks of all sizes falling from above as if fleeing a disaster.

Fortunately, Lan Muyan had experience camping in the wild and left a safe distance, but the tremors were very unnatural. Rather than an earthquake, they seemed to be the aftershocks of some unknown cause.

"Boom!"

In addition to the earthquake, dark clouds covered the sky above Mount Ebif, and lightning and thunder could be heard from time to time.

"Lan Muyan, there are two high-magic-power reactions on there, and they are fighting."

As Xia Yan's servant supporting Lan Muyan, and currently the servant with the strongest strength and magical perception among Lan Muyan's group, Cú Chulainn Alter has provided the answer.

Two high-magic reactions?

Lan Muyan was somewhat confused. Wasn't Mount Ebif a territory of Ishtar?

Although this Venus goddess is both stupid and greedy, she is not someone who can be easily bullied. Who would be so foolish as to come here specifically to cause trouble?

"Want to go up and take a look?"

Robin Hood asked Lan Muyan.

"Since we're already here, we definitely have to go up and take a look."

Although Xia Yan had been trying to create an atmosphere of equality within "The Lighthouse," Lan Muyan knew in his heart that his side was the weakest of the three; otherwise, Xia Yan wouldn't have lent him such a powerful Servant as Cú Chulainn Alter.

Moreover, judging from Xia Yan's attitude towards Diao Yunshang, Lan Muyan estimated that he would soon be the weakest among the four, which made him very uncomfortable.

Lan Muyan never expected to become the pillar of "Lighthouse", but at least he couldn't be a burden. If Feng Yan and Diao Yunshang obtained information or even servants this time, while he alone got nothing, not to mention what others would think of him, he himself would feel ashamed to stay.

Seeing Lan Muyan's resolute attitude, Robin Hood didn't say anything more.

Considering the already considerable difficulty of the climb, and the constant interference from falling rocks, Lan Muyan asked Cú Chulainn to lead the way while he carried the box containing a large number of gems on his back. With the assistance of Souji and Robin Hood, he climbed up, while Nobunaga was placed at the back of the group to check for any omissions and to use his flintlock pistol to smash any falling rocks that Cú Chulainn Alter might miss.

And so the five of them began to slowly climb, while the tremors of Mount Ebif showed no signs of stopping.

After spending several hours, Lan Muyan and his group finally saw the Ishtar Temple located on Mount Ebif, but the temple at this time was completely different from what Lan Muyan remembered.

Simply put, the temple was now nothing more than ruins, and the culprit who caused this was standing in mid-air outside the temple.

On one side is Ishtar, the goddess of Venus who is piloting the Sky Ship Maana and has the appearance of Rin Tohsaka; on the other side is a mature woman with brown skin, green hair, two long demon horns on her head, and wearing a tight-fitting white turtleneck sweater.

Looking at her ample breasts, still impressive despite being wrapped in a sweater, and her ability to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, Lan Muyan recognized her as the Japanese mythological deity, Ibuki-dōji.

"Goddess of Natural Disasters" - Ibuki Doji, what a fitting nickname.

Meanwhile, Cú Chulainn Alter stared intently at Ibuki, seemingly trying to confirm whether this Ibuki was the one they had met in Edo.

"Hey, Ibuki, you still won't apologize to me?"

Ishtar looked at her destroyed temple and was furious.

"I was just lying here taking a nap, you were the one who started it."

Ishtar was even angrier when Ibuki acted like he was the victim. However, the two had been fighting for two whole days and still hadn't won. Ishtar was getting tired, so she patiently started to talk to him.

"This is Mount Aibif, my territory. While I was away, you, an outsider, took over my temple without asking, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"Is there a sign with your name on it? No, I checked carefully before I went to bed. In deserted areas, it's first come, first served. I was here first, so this place is mine."

Similar to Ishtar, Ibuki also expended a lot of magic power, which is why the two of them started arguing at the same time.

"You're talking nonsense. There's a statue of me in the temple!"

Ishtar, no longer caring about her goddess image, started cursing loudly.

"Ah, so those were your statues, but they looked completely different from how you look now, so I didn't pay them any mind."

Ibuki's words make sense, since the Ishtar in the present world is possessing Rin Tohsaka rather than manifesting herself, and her appearance is quite different from the statue in the temple.

"Ugh!!! Why can't I reason with you, you stupid snake?!"

Ishtar frantically grabbed at her hair with both hands.

Just then, a dazzling light shone from the pile of stones beside the temple.

"That is?"

Ishtar and Ibuki simultaneously turned their gazes toward the place where Lan Muyan and his group were hiding.

"Huh? Why were we exposed?"

Lan Muyan was very puzzled.

The commander turned his head and found that the box full of jewels had been blown open by the strong wind.

The midday sun refracted when it shone on these gems, which unfortunately revealed their hiding place.
