That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Mashu quickly followed, raising her shield and smashing several monsters away. The monsters then crashed into their companions, injuring them both.

Anna snorted at Merlin: "Take care of yourself."

Merlin smiled wryly. He had intended to use flight magic, but seeing Gorgon shoot out more than a dozen purple beams of light in the distance, he immediately abandoned the idea.

He didn't want to become a sitting duck.

Moments later, a fiery arrow shot into the sky, exploding high above and transforming into a fiery curtain that blotted out the sun, as if the sun had fallen.

"senior!"

Mash quickly approached Fujimaru Ritsuka, raising the round table and shield to block the raging inferno.

"We can't stop here. No problem, the defensive magic can hold for a while longer." Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were resolute as she generated a spell bullet in her right hand, piercing the skulls of several magical beasts in front of her.

Rumble~

As the blazing flames fell, the monster battle line turned into a sea of ​​fire, and at least tens of thousands of monsters were burned to death in less than a minute.

The high platform in the north.

Hall's Mystic Eyes calmly analyzed the battle situation, muttering to himself, "Its power is at least A++ level, an anti-city Noble Phantasm. Its firepower is comparable to the Lion King's Holy Judgment. Could it be that Tomoe Gozen burned her Spirit Origin to unleash the true name of her Noble Phantasm? The battle situation isn't that urgent yet. Is Merlin playing a supporting role?"

Hall's eyes flickered, and he looked up in another direction.

The pterosaur approached at a speed comparable to that of a fighter jet, and the Mystic Eyes also detected a massive Spirit Origin reaction.

Chapter 471 Snake Eyes

"Decisive strike! Justice descends from the heavens!"

Upon hearing the loud slogans coming from the sky, Hall silently moved a few steps to the side, making room for them.

boom!

The figure engulfed in flames crashed down where Hall had just stood, the immense impact creating a deep crater from which the flames continued to burn.

A moment later, Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, climbed out of the pit, his golden hair smoldering and his appearance disheveled, complaining, "That's so unfair~ Why didn't you catch my enthusiastic Lucha?"

Hall had almost figured out how to get along with this goddess who was sometimes serious and ruthless and sometimes playful and enthusiastic. He shook his head and said, "Don't you know very well that this body of mine is just a temporary substitute and can't withstand high-intensity attacks?"

Hall could only unleash his original power if he awakened at least along with Tiamat, the mother goddess of creation.

Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, brushed the dust off his clothes and chuckled, "It seems so."

She stood side by side with Hall, gazing at the distant battlefield, and asked with a smile, "Which side do you support?"

"Gorgon".

"It really surprised me. I thought you were on the human side. If I had known you were planning to help that Gorgon, I would have held out a little longer. It's all because that child is too cute, and he's exactly my type." Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, cupped her cheeks shyly and chuckled.

What are you doing here?

"What was it again?" Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, pondered while rubbing his chin. He then clapped his hands in sudden realization and said, "That's right. Because I am one of the three goddesses, I am bound by the goddess contract and cannot help that child on the front lines. But seeing how hard she is trying, I can't suppress my desire to pamper her, so I plan to help her a little."

As he spoke, Quetzalcoatl drew his obsidian serrated greatsword and said with a smile, "So, magician Hall, what are you planning to do next?"

Hall shrugged: "Killing me would be a waste of time."

Hall spoke the truth: manifesting a body was simply because he didn't want to miss this grand show, and even if he were killed, he could be resurrected.

“Killing you may be meaningless in itself, but it’s not so for Gorgon. You know Anna’s true identity and have arranged everything long ago. Anna has hesitations in her heart, and so does Gorgon. But she, who hates humans, has accepted you, a human magician.”

"Anna and Gorgon are one, like the relationship between the goddess of heaven and the goddess of the underworld."

"So as long as they are integrated and their thinking is combined, the two completely different contradictions will be resolved."

"Then, having gathered the Holy Grail of the Magic King and the Great Cup of Uruk, I don't know what the answer to Gorgon is, but I'm certain it will be to awaken the Mother. Am I right? You are just as wicked and cruel as that golden King of Uruk," Quetzalcoatl said with a smile.

Isn't that clear to you?

Hall, unfazed, asked again, "What would killing me change?"

Quetzalcoatl looked at Gorgon's enormous body in the distance, his blue eyes filled with pity and sighs: "Although I feel very sorry for Gorgon, at least I can make her completely despair of humanity, shoulder the Avenger class, and reject Anna. This battle will ultimately end with humanity winning, delaying the time when Mother awakens."

With the help of Uruk's Great Cup, the goddess's assistance, and Chaldea's support, it was indeed not difficult to seal the creator goddess Tiamat back into the imaginary space.

However, this is nothing more than a meaningless act of escapism.

This is a simple truth that even Hor and King Gilgamesh understood, so it's impossible that Quetzalcoatl, the chief god with divine vision, wouldn't know it.

Hall stared at her. "What is your real purpose?"

"what?"

“If you came here to kill me, you wouldn’t be standing here explaining so much to me.”

Quetzalcoatl, holding his obsidian greatsword in both hands, said solemnly, "There are many ways to destroy humanity, and there are also ways to protect humanity. Even I am labeled as cruel, but there is no way around it, which is why there is a struggle."

“I can accept all of this, but I don’t like it when someone is behind the scenes manipulating everything, enjoying the benefits of the struggle without any risks or bloodshed.”

"In other words, I hope you help Gorgon fairly, get defeated fairly, or even admit defeat fairly... well, that's about it." Quetzalcoatl responded in a gentle, neighborly tone.

Is it really?

That's how it appears on the surface, that's the truth, it's just that the starting points are different.

Anyone familiar with Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, can understand her twisted goodwill.

They won't even let us slack off!

"If I were to intervene, Fujimaru Ritsuka would suffer an even more crushing defeat."

“It’s okay. Humans have always grown up in such harsh environments. I have faith in her. That child has the courage to face all of this.”

"alright."

Hall shrugged, and a magic circle unfolded beneath his feet.

In any case, dealing with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others is much easier than dealing with a main god.

······

On the monster front, Gorgon continued his fierce battle with Ushiwakamaru, his snake-like hair dancing wildly as he unleashed scorching rays that struck the monster horde. Each ray of light claimed the lives of dozens of monsters, yet none could hit the agile and nimble Ushiwakamaru.

Gorgon's excessively large size became a burden.

Ushiwakamaru's situation was even worse. Without a Master, he had to maintain peak condition at all times and squeeze every last bit of magic power from his Spirit Origin just to barely cope.

呲味味~

The longsword made a piercing sound as it sliced ​​through the snake's hair, creating a gap more than ten meters long, but it couldn't cut it off. Helpless, it quickly retreated, using its legs to leap onto the body of another snake, leaving several afterimages as it dodged the biting snake heads.

"hateful!"

Ushiwakamaru grimaced, feeling increasingly troubled. The snake hair had hardened, while her strength had weakened.

She couldn't maintain this state for more than three minutes. If she were even slightly touched by the snake hair, her fragile body would either die or be seriously injured.

The objective was to take Gorgon's head, but the road was blocked by more than a dozen snakes, and dealing with just two or three of them felt overwhelming.

"Still struggling? How pathetic."

Gorgon spoke with a cold, mocking tone, amused by his own overly cautious attitude.

“You are the one! With such great power, why do you stop? I, a mere insect, shouldn’t be able to cause you any trouble.” Ushiwakamaru retorted sarcastically, not to be outdone.

"Oh?"

Gorgon's expression subtly changed; he lowered his eyes, his face shrouded in shadow, making him appear even more cold and ruthless.

Ushiwakamaru's words struck a nerve. She believed that by crushing the wall, she could destroy the remaining humans and achieve revenge.

However, she stopped there, not out of fear, but because of the lingering hesitation deep within her heart.

That man...

Gorgon pictured Hall in her mind, but rather than her complicated feelings, she preferred to believe that Hall's presence was what made her hesitant.

Because of her sister's memories from another world and Jingu's betrayal, she chose to cooperate with Hall temporarily, but this does not mean that she completely trusts Hall.

Although Hall said he would help her, he was undoubtedly on the side of humanity, and it was unknown what methods he would use to deceive her.

Thinking of this, a dark cloud settled over Gorgon's heart, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his face as he coldly declared, "Well said, the game is over!"

Ignoring Niu Ruomaru's raised head, she gazed at the distant north wall, her deep purple snake eyes gradually emitting an eerie light.

Chapter 472 The Tale of King Zhāna

Ushiwakamaru felt a chill run down his spine, and his right hand, gripping the long sword, trembled uncontrollably as he sensed the unfathomable power contained within the massive body before him.

If something bad is about to happen, it must be an attack that threatens her life.

Gorgon, the vengeful goddess who impersonates the creator goddess, is brought back to Uruk by Hall with her true name. Coincidentally, among the servants summoned by King Gilgamesh is one who, like Gorgon, comes from Greek mythology.

Leonidas I, a descendant of the great Greek hero Heracles, must have known at least some of the Gorgons, the monsters feared by the gods in Greek mythology.

Related to the eyes...

"Could it be the Petrifying Eye that Lord Leonidas once spoke of!?"

"This distance!? This range!?"

"She is not the legendary Gorgon but the goddess of vengeance, and she is also blessed by the Holy Grail, so it is not surprising that she can do this."

"We must stop her!"

At the critical moment, Ushiwakamaru calmed down.

"No, we found it."

"This is the best opportunity ever!"

Ushiwakamaru raised his heroic eyebrows and smiled. Sensing the fierce wind coming from behind, he swung his long sword without turning his head and turned his body to defend.

Clang!

The enormous serpent head slammed into her longsword, the powerful impact crushing the bones in her arms and slamming her into the ground. The serpent head opened its mouth wide to gather magic power, spewing out a blazing purple ray that unleashed a wave of molten lava.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Amidst the smoke and dust, a sharp and swift sword light cleaved through the heatwave, and Ushiwakamaru charged out, stepping on the rubble to ascend into the sky, beheading his opponent with a single sword strike.

The severed snake hair fell to the ground, turning into venom that corroded a large pit in the ground.
