I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

Anna didn't hesitate at all. Her belief was very firm. She said seriously, "Yes, it must be destroyed. I know very well how crazy I was back then. My mind was full of destruction. And the other me was summoned as an Avenger. What I extracted was definitely the most resentful part of it. It can only be destroyed."

Karl didn't immediately join the conversation. Instead, he considered whether or not to eliminate Gorgon. He wasn't Superman, and he didn't have any principles of not killing. If the other party truly deserved to die, he wouldn't hesitate.

And that's exactly what he was considering. Medusa was innocent, and it wasn't her intention to be twisted into a monster until the end, so theoretically Gorgon was innocent.

However, that refers to the Gorgon of the past. It was understandable for them to kill those who set foot on the island in order to protect themselves. But the Gorgon of today is different. She has killed many innocent people. The monsters that ravaged the plains for half a year were all created by her, causing heavy casualties among the people of Mesopotamia.

To them, the Gorgon is undoubtedly evil, and evil that acts on its own will, and no matter how tragic its past, it cannot conceal the sins it commits now.

Karl had previously stated that he would resolve the Gorgon problem, and Medusa, seeing that he had not yet offered any opinion, came directly to him.

He looked up at Carl seriously and said, "Mr. Superman, please help me kill Gorgon. Those who died because of it must be held accountable. Please don't hesitate."

Chapter 203 The True Source: Two-in-One

Medusa argued that Gorgon should be killed, because in her view, Gorgon was the source of this singularity, and countless monsters were created that threatened the survival of Uruk.

Secondly, since Gorgons are her monster counterparts, and she has a responsibility to deal with them now that they have been summoned to wreak havoc, killing them is undoubtedly the most convenient and direct method since monsters cannot be reasoned with.

However, from Karl's perspective, after much deliberation, he still felt it was better not to kill Gorgon.

Leaving aside the fact that he was playing Superman, and Superman almost never kills anyone, taking the lives of those monsters was already the limit. Killing a creature with its own thoughts was not something Superman should do, and exposing himself for a mere Gorgon was not worth it at all. He should think of another way.

Just as Karl was pondering this, there was a knock on the door of his residence. When he opened it, he saw that the visitor was none other than the mage Merlin.

"Oh dear, you all don't look too good. Was the banquet last night not enjoyable enough?" Merlin said loudly.

Karl shook his head and said, "No, the banquet was very interesting. What's troubling us is Medusa. By the way, is there something you need to do here today?"

Merlin's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't expected Medusa to open up so quickly, but it was a good thing. After his initial surprise, he smiled.

"It's nothing important, it's just that the city of Uruk has been set up today, and it's definitely much more fun than yesterday. Now that I don't need to stay at the palace anymore, I came to find you guys to play."

Merlin briefly explained his purpose, but everyone was worried that Medusa wouldn't be very interested.

“It seems that my other self has merged with Tiamat’s power, constantly damaging this singularity and venting its resentment with monsters. Only by killing her can humanity return to normal,” Medusa said firmly.

Merlin stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then felt that the time was almost ripe to tell everyone the truth about this singularity.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat and said, "Medusa, you've misunderstood this. Gorgon isn't the source of the distortion. You say he fused with the powers of Tiamat, that's true, but have you ever thought about where those powers came from?"

Mashu exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, so Gorgon isn't the mastermind after all?"

At first, I thought Kingu was the source of his Holy Grail, but then Gorgon appeared, and now it turns out Gorgon isn't the final enemy either. The situation in this singularity is really complicated.

“If the other me isn’t the real source, then who is twisting this singularity?” Medusa asked.

Merlin didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "That is naturally one of the supreme gods of Mesopotamia, the goddess of creation, the daughter of destiny, the real Tiamat."

"What!" Medusa exclaimed. "This is impossible! All the gods have left. A complete god should not be summoned!"

The doctor's communicator rang at that moment: "Do you know what you're saying? This isn't the time for jokes!"

Merlin deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, and as expected, he received several shocked looks, but not from everyone.

"Hmm, why aren't you surprised at all?" Merlin said, looking at Karl who showed no reaction whatsoever.

Not to mention the Spider-Man who had returned to his stagnant state, Karl's expression remained unchanged, as if he had known all along that Gorgon was not the real target.

Karl explained, “My hearing is excellent. Shortly after arriving at this singularity, I heard a heartbeat in the sea. Although I don’t know what it is, it is undoubtedly much stronger than Gorgon. If we don’t deal with it, the incident doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon.”

Actually, he already knew. While clearing out the monsters, he also flew to the beach to take a look at Tiamat's sleeping face.

"Don't worry, doctor, I'm confident I can defeat Tiamat. She won't hurt anyone," Karl told the doctor.

The doctor said helplessly, "That's all we can do. The Goddess of Creation has no weaknesses. To defeat her, you need sufficient strength. So, Merlin, where are Tiamat?!"

Faced with the doctor's anxious questioning, Merlin calmly replied, "The goddess is still sleeping. If nothing unexpected happens, she won't wake up. I hope she has a sweet dream."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even with Superman around, it was better to minimize the danger.

With Tiamat's matter temporarily put on hold, the question of how to deal with Gorgon was brought up again. Since Gorgon was still producing magical beasts, they definitely needed to be stopped.

“How about this, Medusa,” Karl said, “I’ll go and bring Gorgon back now, and then we can discuss what to do with her.”

Medusa didn't react for a moment. In her mind, she still subconsciously felt that Gorgon was a threat and never thought that capturing him was an option. However, if she could succeed, it would indeed be a good choice.

"Isn't this too dangerous? Capturing is much more difficult than killing, and the other party also has the Petrifying Eye. What if something unexpected happens..." Medusa said worriedly.

"Don't be nervous, I have a way to handle this. I'll be back in a few minutes." After saying that, Karl disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

……

Karl flew north through the sky, streaks of red and blue light cutting across the horizon, and soon he arrived at the entrance of a cave.

Several white stone pillars stood at the cave entrance, while the rocks inside the mountain had been almost hollowed out, replaced by various disgusting fleshy walls and blood vessels, exuding a blasphemous aura.

This is where Gorgon created her monsters. After occupying this hill, she used her powers to transform it into the Blood Temple and used the power derived from the creator goddess Tiamat to create monsters that hate humans.

Medusa said she wanted to deal with Gorgon, but her chances of winning on her own were slim, not to mention that Gorgon was protected by many magical beasts, so she needed to seek help.

Karl agreed, so one person came here. After all, unlike ordinary people, he didn't need Medusa's help to deal with the Gorgon.

Karl entered the Temple of Blood. He lowered his altitude and stood upright, but upon closer inspection, his feet still maintained a certain distance from the ground, allowing him to float forward.

"Humans?"

After passing countless disgusting monster placentas, Karl soon met the main character: the half-human, half-snake Gorgon.

Gorgon was enormous. Not counting its snake tail that dragged on the ground, the height of its head alone was approximately 15 meters. Its long purple hair was divided into several strands, the ends of which resembled snake heads. At this moment, these snake hairs were bared and clawed, which, together with the eagle-like wings spread out behind it, made Gorgon appear even larger.

However, apart from that, it is quite normal, completely resembling a well-developed Medusa. Although she herself does not like this appearance, if others were to evaluate it, the charm of both would be equally matched and each has its own merits, provided that the size is more normal.

Karl did not possess the aura of a Heroic Spirit, so Gorgon mistook him for a human, and humans were among the objects of her hatred.

"Although I don't know how you managed to get here by overcoming so many magical beasts, since you've trespassed into my Tiamat territory, you shall become part of this womb of beasts."

Things happened too fast, and Gorgon had been staying in the temple the whole time, so she had no time to know anything about the outside world. She didn't know that Kingu had been captured, nor did she know that the monsters had been wiped out. If she had known this information, she certainly wouldn't have been so reckless.

Several snake-like hairs attacked Karl, each snake's head roughly the size of half of Karl's body, but Karl chose to dodge them.

Although these snake heads couldn't hurt him no matter what, they were quite large, and he had no interest in experiencing what it would feel like to be held in their mouths.

A burst of heat vision illuminated the dim temple, and in a flash of light, all the snake hairs were severed.

Gorgon winced in pain and pulled her hair back. In less than two seconds, the hair grew back to form a snake head, and she was quickly restored to normal. It was hardly an injury to her at all.

The Hall of Heroes, where Heroic Spirits reside, exists outside of time and records their entire lives. When they come to the real world, they often use the power of their class to manifest a certain aspect of their lives.

Gorgon is Medusa in her later years, and her heart is already filled with madness. Now, manifesting as a Vengeance, her inner hatred is further intensified, and her emotions are extremely unstable. She can easily fall into boundless rage if she is not careful.

"You wretched human, I'll turn you to stone!"

Medusa, the Gorgon, is most famous for her ability to turn anyone who looks directly into her eyes into stone. Now, injured by a human she had previously looked down upon, she chooses to use her Noble Phantasm directly.

Karl had already determined that the magic of this world was ineffective against him, so he neither dodged nor avoided Gorgon's gaze.

It was more like a barrage than a gaze; a torrent of magic as thick as a bucket relentlessly washed over his body, yet Karl remained as immovable as a rock.

"Damn it! Die, humans! Why don't you die! Only when you all die can I have a place to live!" Gorgon kept increasing the output of the petrifying magic eye, and soon even the unhatched monsters around him turned into stone along with their flesh walls. However, no matter how many things around him were petrified, Karl, who was in the center of the magic eye, did not react at all.

Suddenly, Karl moved. He leaped up against the magic and covered Medusa's eyes with his hands.

boom!!!

Like a gun that has exploded, the unleashed magic went out of control and caused a powerful explosion.

Gorgon collapsed to the ground, breathing weakly. The backlash from the full-powered magic eye was extremely painful; her eyes and a large area of ​​her face had turned to stone. Fortunately, the magic power came from her own body, and her body's magic resistance was not weak; otherwise, it wouldn't have been just petrification of that area. Even so, Gorgon had temporarily lost her fighting ability.

"Let's take it back first," Karl thought, grabbing one of Gorgon's wings.

"Ha... I've lost again." Gorgon, thinking he was about to die, muttered to himself, "Whether I choose to hide on the island or seek revenge and destroy humanity, the final outcome is the same. Why? Can't monsters have a place to hide?"

Black energy emanated from Gorgon's body, and the resentment in his heart almost materialized.

Carl didn't choose to comfort the other person; he had just beaten her up like this, and his words wouldn't carry much weight. So he simply said, "Didn't you just say you were Tiamat? This isn't her story."

Gorgon froze, even halting the process of emanating resentment. After a while, she seemed to understand something; it appeared to be bewitching her true form. However, having been interrupted, the resentment wasn't as strong as before. She sighed and lay there dejectedly, no longer speaking.

Looking at Gorgon's appearance, Karl felt a pang of pity. The other's life was truly tragic. He passively endured the curse of the gods, was passively hunted down by the people who came to the island, and finally turned into a mindless monster.

Even now, having finally been summoned to this singularity, she still can't escape her passive position. Her existence is merely that of a tool, sharing sensations with the real Tiamat and using her life as a means to awaken the Mother Goddess. Her death was predetermined from the beginning, making her truly tragic.

“There is a place to stay; you can always find one,” Karl mentioned, but didn’t elaborate.

He carried the weakened Gorgon out of the Blood Temple, then turned back and used his heat vision to blast the entire mountain to smithereens, completely leveling the monster production base. He then grabbed the other's two wings and flew towards Uruk.

He didn't go through the main entrance, but instead descended from the sky unnoticed by people on the ground, and went directly back to his residence.

Gorgon's heavy body was coiled on the roof of the dwelling. Because it was not high enough, a long part of its tail fell to the ground. Soon, the heavy noise attracted everyone out.

“Gorgon…” Medusa murmured, staring blankly at the Gorgon on the roof.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a heavy pressure as she looked at the 15-meter-tall body, but she immediately relaxed.

"As expected of Mr. Superman, he brought it back just like that." Ritsuka was genuinely happy; this feeling of winning without lifting a finger was wonderful.

Medusa quickly jumped onto the roof and stroked Gorgon's petrified eyes with her right hand.

Gorgon, though blind, seemed to sense something and weakly said, "Ah... it's you. What are you doing here? Oh, you've come to kill me, haven't you? You must be hiding your identity, blending in with those who want to kill me."

"..." Medusa did indeed understand herself at first.

“Ha… Foolish. Humans will never accept us. You’ll probably be next,” Gorgon said in a tone that was hard to decipher, whether it was resentment or sorrow.

Medusa was speechless at first, but now she had to retort: ​​"No, it's different. I did want to kill you directly, but they were concerned about my feelings instead... I wasn't wearing a cloak."

……

There will be another 4000 words around 10 o'clock.

Chapter 204 Tiamat Awakens (Part 2)

Whether out of a need to conceal his identity or out of personal feelings, Karl was reluctant to kill Gorgon directly; he felt sympathy for him.

Put yourself in Gorgon's shoes. He did nothing wrong from the beginning. He was inexplicably cursed, then hunted down by heroes, and finally turned into a monster. Even a clay figure has some temper. It's perfectly normal for him to want revenge under such circumstances.

If there's anything wrong with the other side, it's probably what she did in this singularity. Choosing revenge is understandable, but the wrong should be right and the debtor should be held accountable. Expanding the scope of the attack is wrong of her, since the people of Uruk did not persecute her.

It would have been perfectly normal for her to choose revenge against Perseus, against the gods, or even against the kings who had put a bounty on her head, but she had gone almost insane and had come to hate everyone.

“Gorgon, we will not kill you just because you are not human. You will be treated fairly,” Karl said.
