The Conqueror King has left.

Orpheus eventually accepted the invitation, since the banquet the other party had described sounded quite interesting, and there was no harm in going to check it out.

With so much happening, Orpheus had already put Tokiomi's recent mission out of his mind.

"Ishtar, shall we go?"

Looking at Ishtar, who was gritting her teeth, Orpheus asked.

"Mmm...mmm..."

Ishtar struggled for a long time, but finally sighed.

"Alright, alright, although it was too late when I 'awakened,' I can't just let it drag on like this. You can go to that super fun banquet by yourself for now. I still need to settle my karma completely."

Even Orpheus was slightly surprised when he heard Ishtar's words.

How did Ishtar, who only knew how to follow her own desires, learn to restrain herself?

"You seem to be thinking about something unpleasant right now..."

Ishtar squinted her eyes.

"Fine, whatever, just stall for as long as possible, and I'll get things sorted out here as soon as possible. How can I miss out on such fun stuff!"

Will things remain the same...?

Watching Ishtar depart in a flurry of activity aboard the celestial vessel, Orpheus smiled gently and vanished into spirit form in the direction Iskandar had just flown away.

Next, let's go see what this so-called banquet is like.

Chapter 139 The Goddess's Wrath

The Chaldea group walked along the road with Irisviel and Saber. Ritsuka and the others were fine, but El-Melloi had a gloomy expression.

Originally, the plan was to eliminate Caster, the troublemaker, first, but when they got close, they were suddenly hit by a barrage of bullets, which alerted Caster and allowed him to escape.

From beginning to end, they didn't even figure out who was causing the trouble.

Later, they encountered Rider, who arrived shortly after, and El-Melloi was even scolded by him...

He was filled with resentment...

"Although we did not achieve our original goal, that place is indeed Caster's base. In that case, I think you can all be trusted."

At that moment, Saber turned around and said.

Of course, that's what she said. Only she knows how trustworthy she really is, since everything Chaldea and the others said was just too unbelievable.

"Don't be so serious, Saber."

Seeing Saber's tense face, Irisviel gently comforted her.

"So, what are your plans for the future? If you don't mind, the Einzbern family can also provide a place for you to rest."

"No, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sure your husband is still worried, especially since we still have some information to investigate."

El-Melloi snapped out of his daze and politely declined Irisviel's offer.

There was going to be a royal banquet later, and he didn't know the personality of that other hero-king. Being cautious by nature, he naturally wouldn't risk appearing within the other's perception range.

If it were the original Hero King, this banquet would have been the perfect ambush site...

"So, Mr. El-Melloi, what should we do now?"

After leaving with Saber for a while, Ritsuka finally couldn't help but ask El-Melloi, who was walking silently the whole time.

El-Melloi seemed to be deep in thought, and was only brought back to reality by Ritsuka's words.

"Ah, I must first go to Lancer's Master, I need to get Lord Kenneth's permission first..."

Before he could finish speaking, the distant sky suddenly turned golden, and Roman's voice burst forth.

"How is this possible!"

"doctor?"

"Divinity... This kind of divinity is too exaggerated. This is a level that could only appear in the Age of Gods! Even the summoning of Heroic Spirits cannot summon a being with such divinity. This is... This is absolutely a true god, without any degradation and with power!"

El-Melloi listened to Roman's words and looked more closely at the strange phenomenon on the horizon, his brows furrowing.

"Don't you guys find that attack method very familiar?"

"Ugh?"

Ritsuka and the others were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened.

"This is from when we were tracking Caster?"

"At that time, the other party did not show any signs of divinity at all, which shows that the other party not only can hide divinity, but also intends to hide it... Now, however, they are letting such divinity erupt like this. What exactly happened?"

Elmero said this, but he still withheld some information.

Beneath the light... lies the Matou family, one of the three founding families of the Holy Grail War.

────────────────────────────────

Golden meteors rained down from the sky, but the Matou family's magic barrier, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was powerless to stop them. In the blink of an eye, the historic Matou residence was reduced to ruins.

"You, a little girl from the Tohsaka family? Impossible! No matter how talented you are, you can't have this kind of strength at such a young age! Just who are you?!"

Zouken Matou, known as the "Insect Lord," stared with bloodshot eyes at the girl in front of him, who was at most seven years old.

The eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family, a girl named Tohsaka Rin, whose talent was originally only comparable to that of Sakura, who was adopted from elsewhere.

The use of "merely" in general is actually quite inappropriate. Both Sakura and Rin's magical talents are enough to rank them among the top in the mystical world, making them exceptionally promising talents.

But judging from the strength that Rin Tohsaka has shown so far... even if Sakura converted all her talents into strength, she probably wouldn't reach this level, right? Not to mention, Rin Tohsaka is only seven years old now.

However, Zouken Matou quickly calmed down.

In the mysterious world, nothing is impossible. Even if you told Zouken Matou that someone could connect to the Root from birth (Aika: ???), he would be surprised and envious, but he wouldn't shout that it was impossible.

"Have you awakened your past life? Your origin? Or perhaps you've received the inheritance of the Age of Gods? Or are you no longer the real Rin Tohsaka?"

Looking at the being with Rin Tohsaka's body, Zouken Matou asked with great interest in a hoarse voice, appearing quite confident.

He sought immortality for five hundred years and researched countless methods of self-preservation. He was confident that even if the other party were a goddess descended from heaven, it would be difficult for her to truly kill him.

"Disgusting bugs."

The goddess Ishtar, who was in charge of Rin Tohsaka's body, frowned slightly in disgust. Her eyes were tinged with the brilliance of Venus due to the intense emotional turmoil. She was holding a purple-haired girl who was about the same size as herself, but whose eyes were devoid of any spirit.

Seeing her younger sister like this, Ishtar, who was also Rin Tohsaka, felt a pang of heartache, and her anger towards Zouken Matou intensified.

"Who gave you permission to look me in the eye and even dare to question me?!"

Completely ignoring the other party's question, the goddess floated into the sky with her younger sister in her arms, surrounded by golden light, looking down arrogantly at Matou Zouken.

"Insects should crawl on the ground and eke out a living like insects, instead of dreaming of raising their heads and flying into the sky that belongs to me. Remember that, you insect!"

"Hmph, little girl, although I don't know where your power comes from, you still don't know Matou's true power..."

Despite sensing the opponent's immense power, Zouken Matou remained calm and spoke.

"I'm sure you don't want a fight that ends in mutual destruction, do you? If you want your sister, just take her back. I can let bygones be bygones today. How about we call it quits?"

"Humph!"

Hearing Zouken Matou's words, Ishtar clicked her tongue in disgust.

"Under normal circumstances, I, the goddess, wouldn't even deign to glance at an insect like you, but unfortunately..."

Ishtar lovingly stroked Sakura in her arms, but her gaze toward Zouken Matou was icy cold.

"Although I'm not good at dealing with my older sister, I love my younger sister very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Venus's brilliance instantly intensified.

"So be happy, this is an honor you don't deserve... Bathe in the glory of Venus, and die with gratitude!"

"Outrageous...what?!"

Zouken Matou originally wanted to retort, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

These lights had no effect on the environment and did not cause any harm when they shone on his body, but for some reason, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

A sense of crisis that comes from the very soul!

But he had no time to react. The next moment, the light engulfed the entire Matou mansion, and Zouken Matou turned to dust in endless fear.

All means of survival and backup plans are meaningless. This light is not something that can be explained by magic. It is a realm that can rival the law, the strongest means of the gods, the GM authority called power.

Even though it was suppressed in the modern era where the age of gods had disappeared, it was still more than enough to burn away a corrupt soul that had decayed to the point of being worse than an ordinary person.

The soul that had lingered on for five hundred years was now reduced to ashes.

Chapter 140 The Meeting of the Three Kings (Part 1)

"Oh, so you're finally here?"

When Orpheus arrived at Einzbern, the Conqueror King and the Knight King were already sitting on the ground, drinking wine.

"Did you invite her too, Conqueror King?"

Upon seeing Orpheus appear, Saber frowned warily, while Rider laughed heartily, picked up a gourd, scooped a spoonful of wine from a nearby barrel, and handed it to Orpheus.

"Ah, I met her on the way and invited her over. You're late, little girl, but since you were walking, there's nothing I can do about it. But you still have to drink a penalty shot! Come on!"

Orpheus took the wine ladle, took a small sip, and frowned slightly.

Although Orpheus rarely indulges in material pleasures and is not particularly aware of it, it cannot be denied that because Enkidu always spoiled her at the beginning, it gradually became a habit. Everything she uses, whether it's food or other items, is of the highest quality.

It's really not my habit to drink this kind of 'inferior product' now.

"Oh, the young lady doesn't seem very satisfied? This is clearly the best wine I can buy around here. Does she enjoy even more luxurious things on a regular basis? I never would have guessed."

Iskandar, the Conqueror, keenly noticed Orpheus's subtle actions and spoke with a hint of frustration.

Orpheus tilted his head and thought for a moment, then took out wine and wine glasses from the treasury, placed them on the ground, and sat down himself.

"Wow! This is really good!"
