That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

The space-swapping magic instantly teleported him behind Quetzalcoatl, then unleashed a chilling glint.

It was too late for Quetzalcoatl to dodge or retaliate. This attack was different from any of the previous ones, and she sensed a familiar presence.

The overwhelming murderous aura seemed to threaten to engulf her.

There was nowhere to hide, and no way to cope.

A marksman can strike twice.

The breath flowing within the body combines with the true etheric elements in the atmosphere to create a space that is entirely of one's own, and then merges with heaven and earth. The powerful force is condensed into a single point through exquisite techniques.

This shot was a strike against the world itself, reaching the limit of the magical realm.

Quetzalcoatl accepted the fact that he couldn't handle the attack. "Fantastic! If wrestling is the ultimate expression of power, then this attack is the epitome of skill!"

"but···"

The moment the spear, imbued with divine power, pierced through Quetzalcoatl's body, Hall was also caught by the desperate Quetzalcoatl.

Since we can't avoid it, we should use our advantages to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.

"This is wrestling!"

Dry!

By the time Hall realized Quetzalcoatl's intentions, it was too late. His body was firmly fixed by the power of authority, spiraling upwards before being heavily pulled down.

"Mexican-style flame throw!"

Hall, engulfed in flames as he was thrown from the sky, immediately realized he might die.

The moment the body touches the earth, it will probably burn to ashes.

If Tiamat's powers and the power of the Star Grail are used, she should be able to be resurrected in a short time.

But the fact that he had contact with Tiamat could no longer be kept secret.

As Hall pondered a solution, he vaguely heard a familiar voice: "There's an Avalon in Dalian!"

Merlin's Noble Phantasm, the Garden of Avalon, a paradise forever isolated.

Hall saw a wall formed by countless cherry blossom petals. When his body passed through the wall, he entered a completely different world, which seemed to last only for a moment before returning.

The Sea Within the Stars!

All his injuries were healed, the concept of the feathered serpent god's attack was stripped away, and he landed safely on the ground.

"As expected of the strongest support!" Hall felt that Merlin was so reliable for the first time, and he was somewhat moved.

At the same time, Quetzalcoatl pulled out the spear that had pierced his chest, leaving a wound the size of a bowl that could not be healed.

The higher one's divinity, the greater the damage from attacks that suppress divinity in Hall.

This shot shook the foundation of her divine spirit, and she regretfully declared: "It seems that this battle will have to be decided before we can understand each other."

"What a pity."

"You are stronger than I imagined."

It is expected to end after the seventh singularity is defeated.

There are still more than 100,000 words left?

Chapter 442 Artoria, time to eat!

Quetzalcoatl landed on the highest altar, his back to the Sunstone. His emerald eyes looked down at Hall and his group below the altar and asked earnestly, "Magician Hall, I have a question for you to answer."

"It's pointless to say more."

Ishtar raised her hand, and a stream of light arrows appeared at her fingertips, ready to be fired. After the fight just now, she was still a little angry.

Hall shook his head, signaling Ishtar to stop the attack.

Ishtar lowered her right hand in annoyance and rolled her eyes at Hall: "It's come to this point, what else is there to say?"

Merlin approached Hall and advised, "Goddess Ishtar, although it's not everything, communication can solve many problems, and it's the only way to achieve mutual understanding."

Ishtar crossed her arms and snorted, turning her face away reluctantly: "Whatever."

While it is true, as Merlin said, that communication can solve many problems, Hall believes that this is not applicable to the current situation.

Hall looked up at the feathered serpent god on the altar and asked, "Ask."

"It's very simple, it's about whether you have the awareness."

Hall calmly countered, "What are you trying to say?"

"I like humans, I love humans deeply, so to humans, my existence is good. What about humans themselves? And how do you view humans as a species?"

Hall shook his head speechlessly: "I am human myself, how else can I see it?"

Quetzalcoatl proclaimed, “That is why I asked the question. Struggle is human nature. Humans grow through struggle, and civilization evolves through struggle. I guide humanity onto the right path of struggle. The biggest difference between humans and beasts is wisdom. Because of wisdom, we understand the principles of seeking advantage and avoiding harm. This is my reason for tolerating those humans who do not want to fight.”

"So what?" Hall remained unmoved, probably guessing what Quetzalcoatl wanted to say.

Quetzalcoatl was aware of her own actions or intentions. As the supreme and benevolent god in the eyes of humans, the good she upheld was fundamentally different from the majority-oriented principles of people like Kiritsugu Emiya.

It goes further and closer to the level of goodness itself.

The so-called wrestling tournament was just a test that Quetzalcoatl was putting on himself.

Hall felt a little annoyed. No matter which world it was, the gods were all a bunch of self-righteous guys.

Quetzalcoatl said solemnly, "I admire those human warriors who are prepared to die. In return for that determination, I will grant them death. Do you also have such a resolve?"

Hall sneered: "No, rather you're really underestimating me and humanity. You think you're superior to humans, but you're nothing more than an existence that will be eliminated as the age of gods declines."

Faced with Hall's harsh criticism, Quetzalcoatl was slightly taken aback, then cupped her blushing cheeks in her hands and said shyly, "Now that you say that... I'm so happy, big sister. You are indeed different from ordinary humans, standing at a different level than humans, even surpassing me. I've confirmed that now."

"You must be killed! Your existence and your level of awareness are far too advanced for humanity at this stage!" Quetzalcoatl's tone suddenly turned icy, revealing his signature evil smile.

Hall felt these words sounded familiar; Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who wanted to use the Third Method [Soul Materialization] to redeem all of humanity, had also been described in the same way.

Indeed, if Hall hadn't been on the opposite side of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada at that time, he would have agreed with Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's actions.

Merlin urgently relayed the message: "This is bad! Her Spirit Origin reaction is expanding! Are you kidding me! Could this be her true strength?"

Ishtar's expression also changed drastically: "Her divinity is rising, approaching that of Anu... no, she is already a genuine chief god! Be careful, Hall! I underestimated her; she is no match for me. Use whatever methods you have."

Without the two reminding him, Hall's magic eye discerned Quetzalcoatl's intentions.

The sunstone on the altar gradually shone brighter, releasing terrifying heat waves.

Hall calmly instructed, "Merlin, take Anna and leave Eridu."

"what?"

“Quetzalcoatl’s target is me, and you will not be hindered from doing so now.”

Merlin asked worriedly, "Are you sure you'll be alright on your own?"

Hall said irritably, "If I'm not good enough, you'll only be a burden."

Merlin smiled wryly: "Wow~ what a heartless answer. But I'd be grateful if it saved my life. I have a more important task to complete, so I'll chant the British magic: Artoria, dinner's ready!"

hum~

Merlin's body transformed into cherry blossom petals and vanished.

Hall's originally serious mindset was almost disrupted by Merlin's spell. He shook his head speechlessly, calmed himself down, and stared at Quetzalcoatl.

Hall was certain that Quetzalcoatl would not attack Merlin not because of what he said, but because Quetzalcoatl probably also knew that Merlin was the foundation of the dream world that imprisoned the primordial mother, and that killing him would cause Tiamat to awaken prematurely.

Quetzalcoatl is chanting an incantation, activating his Noble Phantasm, and drawing upon the power of the Sunstone: "Destruction and creation, death and birth."

"The world will cycle, and prosperity will surely follow."

"Burn the Fifth World! I am the sun!"

"Piedra Del Sol! (Sunstone)"

As the true name of the Noble Phantasm was uttered, the Sunstone suddenly shone brightly, like the summer sun, making it impossible to look directly at it, and at the same time, the door to the sun was opened.

buzz~

Solar winds blew out from the door, ravaging the earth. All life was carbonized and evaporated in an instant, and the soil melted into magma, boiling endlessly and releasing high temperatures and intense light.

"Hall!"

Ishtar screamed and teleported in front of Hall, while the Heavenly Bow Maana deployed a radiant barrier to block the raging solar winds.

She is the goddess of Venus and also possesses the concept of the sun, but at this moment she can only struggle against the solar wind that reflects the divine power of Quetzalcoatl himself. "Quickly think of a way, I can't hold on for much longer!"

Hall was somewhat surprised that Ishtar had come to his rescue so quickly.

Even if she doesn't do that, Hall has ways to protect himself.

"Leave it to me."

Hall embraced Ishtar from behind, grasped her arm and channeled magic into her, writing primordial runes to solidify the defensive barrier.

buzz~

The solar winds grew increasingly fierce and terrifying, melting the earth only to have it blown away.

Their vision was overwhelmed by the dazzling white light. Although the defensive barrier kept the solar wind out, both Hall and Ishtar knew that this was only the beginning.

When the raging solar winds disappeared, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic transformation.

What fills the field of vision is boundless light and heat. The earth is melting—no, it should be said that the earth itself is flames, like a rushing torrent of water that surges endlessly, sometimes bursting, sometimes gathering, and sometimes transforming into a fire tornado hundreds of kilometers long.

Behind them stretched the universe, filled with countless stars.

Chapter 443 The Sun and Venus

This place is no longer in Eridu, or even on Earth.

As the goddess of Venus, Ishtar knew exactly where she was.

The divine universe, the face of the sun.

The Sunstone is Quetzalcoatl's trump card, revealing the ideal form of the world in Aztec mythology and serving as an Aztec calendar that displays everything about the world's past and present.

It is itself a symbol of the sun, the cornerstone and core of the gods' creation of a new world after the destruction of the old one.
