FATE: Target of Grand Master

"It is now certain that Gorgon and Typhon are both inside the Blood Temple, and these two are the targets of this operation. Considering that killing Gorgon would awaken Tiamat, and once Tiamat awakens, a large number of Rahm will appear, Uruk also needs sufficient defenses."

"Wait a minute, Xia Yan. Have you forgotten about Durga?"

Diao Yunshang interrupted Xia Yan.

There was no way around it; Durga had left too deep an impression on her, and even now, her Lu Bu had not recovered to his peak.

"Based on your previous description, Durga and Kingu are not on the same side, but rather they are mutually restraining each other. Through Morgan's observation over the past few days, we have found that Durga's actions are very passive; she hasn't stepped out of the temple even once. Perhaps for her, nothing matters except the destruction of the world. Currently, we don't have the resources to deal with her, so we can only put her aside for now."

"But if we don't eliminate Durga now, once Tiamat awakens, we'll be facing two powerful enemies at the same time, which is even more difficult than Fujimaru Ritsuka in the original work."

Having caught up on the plot, Lan Muyan was deeply impressed by the final showdown between the Absolute Demonic Front and Tiamat. The thought that they would soon face an even worse situation made him shudder.

"This is how I see it. Durga isn't on Tiamat's side; she's a separate third force. Her goal of destroying the world contradicts Tiamat's return. So, once Tiamat awakens, Durga will also be restrained, which can draw away a lot of Rahm for us. Besides, she can only destroy the world after Kingu is completely gone. Until then, we can focus on dealing with Gorgon and Typhon."

"There are still too many uncontrollable factors in this plan."

Diao Yunshang was not very satisfied with Xia Yan's plan.

"Then let's look at it from a different angle."

Feng Yan said, "If we deal with Durga now, we'll inevitably pay a heavy price. Jingu might even launch a surprise attack. Even if we manage to escape unscathed, we'll then have to fight Gorgon, Jingu, Typhon, and later Tiamat and a large number of Rahm. Compared to that, what do you think of Xia Yan's plan?"

Diao Yunshang fell silent.

Without a doubt, if Durga is dealt with first, Uruk will suffer greater losses, and the situation will be even worse than Xia Yan's plan.

"So, this is a situation where you have to choose the lesser of two evils."

Feng Yan was also quite helpless.

"Well, it seems we really don't have a choice."

Diao Yunshang also accepted Xia Yan's plan.

"Let's allocate the combat forces then."

Xia Yan continued the conversation.

Feng Yan immediately said, "Xia Yan, if we need to deal with Durga, let me go. I now have Vimana, which has the fastest movement speed, and I also have a servant here who has a close relationship with Durga."

"That's what I think too. Although we won't provoke Durga for now, we still need to prepare countermeasures. The lineup for this attack on the Blood Temple will consist of my and Lan Muyan's entire Servant roster plus Quetzal, while the lineup left to defend Uruk will consist of Feng Yan and Diao Yunshang's Servants plus Ishtar and King Gilgamesh."

Then, Xia Yan added quietly, "This time, we must protect Siduri well."

Feng Yan and Lan Muyan naturally had no objections, and Diao Yunshang also accepted the arrangement to guard the city because Lu Bu had not yet recovered to his peak.

"Don't think that defending the city is an easy task. Since we have gathered all the surviving humans in this world in Uruk, Rahm's attack will be more focused, so you must be careful."

Feng Yan and Diao Yunshang nodded together.

"This is our plan."

After reporting to Gilgamesh and receiving his permission, Xia Yan and the others left the temple.

"Oppo!"

Miss Crane, sporting dark circles under her eyes and a messy hairstyle, appeared at the entrance of the temple.

The four of them understood what was going on the moment they saw Miss Crane.

Feng Yan, Lan Muyan, and Diao Yunshang have all completed their magical costumes.

The four of them followed Miss Crane to the huge studio that Siduri had arranged for her.

She walked out, pushing a floor rack with three magical costumes hanging on it, bypassing the scraps of fabric and various magical materials scattered on the ground.

"The three of you should give it a try."

Feng Yan, Lan Muyan, and Diao Yunshang immediately took their respective magical costumes.

The three chose different Mystic Codes: Feng Yan chose "Atlas Academy Uniform", Lan Muyan chose "Chaldea Combat Suit", and Diao Yunshang chose a less common Mystic Code - "Halloween Royal Member".

Xia Yan had already informed the two of the skill effects of "Atlas Academy Uniform" and "Chaldea Combat Suit" in advance, but even Xia Yan was unaware of the effects of Diao Yunshang's "Halloween Royal Member".

Miss Tsuru explained, "All three Mystic Codes have been designed to impair perception. Unless special methods are used or the Mystic Codes are severely damaged, others will not be able to discern their appearance. Regarding the three skills of 'Halloween Royal Member': Shining Companionship, Pure Matching, and Blissful Regeneration, their effects are respectively: increasing one Servant's Strength and Noble Phantasm by one level each for a short period (the level cap cannot exceed A++), blocking any physical or magical attack twice (can be used separately), and removing an ally's incapacitated or sealed status. Each of the three skills can only fulfill its described effect once per trial."

"This Mystic Code's skill effects are really comprehensive, with offensive, defensive, and support capabilities. You have good taste."

Xia Yan praised Diao Yunshang's magical costume.

"Besides the skill effects, this magical costume is also very gorgeous," Diao Yunshang replied.

It's no wonder that girls care about their appearance; Xia Yan, Feng Yan, and Lan Muyan, the three rough men, wouldn't care about that at all.

"Thanks."

The three of them thanked Miss He and Xia Yan together, especially Diao Yunshang, who, despite not being a member of "Lighthouse" yet, still managed to get some benefits.

"I will leave Miss Tsuru in Uruk; her safety is in your hands."

Xia Yan then handed over the responsibility of protecting Miss He to Feng Yan and Diao Yunshang. Although Miss He was also a Servant, her combat strength was not high. If she encountered multiple Rahms, she might not be able to handle them.

"Don't worry, we will definitely protect her."

After delivering the three magical costumes, Miss He went to the inner room to rest under Xia Yan's forceful command.
