Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Page 198

She was pampered by her father from birth.

As the most powerful being in the entire Greek mythology, the most beloved woman of Zeus, the king of the gods, and the goddess whose power on Mount Olympus was second only to Zeus and Hera.

She had never experienced such humiliation before.

Not to mention, looking into the other's eyes, Artemis's mind kept replaying the image of Orion being completely swallowed by the black mud, which made Artemis even more furious.

"They won't let me go."

A wicked smile crept onto Lin Jiu'an's lips.

"I'm quite curious, how exactly are you planning to make my life miserable?"

As Lin Jiu'an spoke, the black mud, which seemed to have a life of its own, began to swirl and wrap around Artemis's wrists and ankles.

soon.

Artemis no longer cared about the 'revenge for her husband's murder'.

"what are you going to do?!"

Although Artemis once wished her father Zeus on her third birthday to "grant me eternal virginity" and became one of the three famous virgin goddesses of Greece, she was certainly not a little girl who knew nothing, as she possessed the power of "midwifery" and "birth".

Her current state reminded her of women about to give birth.

Lin Jiu'an and Fujimaru Ritsuka, standing before her like midwives, filled Artemis with immense anger, shame, and a touch of fear.

"Beast of Original Sin, I warn you!"

"If you dare do anything to me, the entire Olympus will not be spared... Oh?!"

A long, black whip lashed out at Artemis's full moon. The force wasn't great, but it brought Artemis more humiliation than pain.

"Olympus, indeed."

Lin Jiu'an scoffed, "Olympus has been destroyed for so many years, everyone's dead, and you still won't leave me alone?"

"Let them come down and try. I wouldn't mind making them even closer to you, as they would be family and sisters."

"you...?!"

Upon seeing Lin Jiu'an make no attempt to conceal his intentions, Artemis felt not only anger but also terror.

As a virgin goddess.

Even though she deeply loved Orion, she never did anything inappropriate with him, not even holding hands during her lifetime.

And the next moment.

As Lin Jiu'an placed his large hand on her foot, the burning sensation made Artemis scream.

"Kill me! Kill me!"

Another cracking sound of a whip piercing the air rang out.

Artemis let out a mournful cry and dared not speak again. She just gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Jiu'an, looking as if she was determined to fight him to the death.

But soon, Artemis could no longer maintain her angry expression.

Because Lin Jiu'an has completely let go of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He then walked towards her.

The two were only half a step apart, and soon, Lin Jiu'an was just one step away from delivering a fatal blow.

"Stop! You stop right now!"

Artemis cried out in panic, "Kill me! If you're still that person, then kill me!"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Arjuna couldn't help but ask.

Although he wasn't very familiar with Artemis, they had fought side by side before, and Artemis had helped him a lot when he was saved.

Even disregarding all that, who knows if they will be next after Lin Jiu'an defeats Artemis?

"What do I want to do?" Lin Jiu'an looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka: "You tell me."

"senior?"

"Master?"

Apart from Artemis, who was still nervously staring at Lin Jiu'an as if her gaze could stop him from advancing, the other four subconsciously looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Feeling embarrassed and guilty under the gaze of others.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "I have already formed an alliance with Mr. Lin."

"An alliance?!" Mash exclaimed in surprise.

Even Artemis turned her head sharply, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka in disbelief.

"Ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

Some dared not meet Artemis's gaze.

She knew she was being very unfair to Artemis, but she had no other choice. If she didn't agree to Lin Jiu'an's request, death would be the only thing waiting for them.

Instead, he agreed to the other party's request.

She doesn't have as much pressure, has a greater chance of surviving, and the probability of human history being saved is higher. Moreover, to be honest, her body has been completely transformed into Lin Jiu'an's shape during this time.

She had resigned herself to becoming Lin Jiu'an's woman. She couldn't say she liked him, but she was definitely deeply infatuated with him.

It can be said that the alliance between the two sides is entirely beneficial.

The only downside is that it would be unfair to Artemis.

Artemis opened her mouth, but no longer knew what to say.

She could understand, of course. After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka was just an ordinary person. It was normal for her to surrender to the kind of torture that Lin Jiu'an and the others couldn't handle.

But understanding doesn't mean being able to accept it easily.

"I know I'm sorry for making this decision, but I still hope you can help Mr. Lin and me fight against Goetia and the demons."

Fujimaru Ritsuka suppressed her guilt and looked up at the five people, including Artemis, her tone filled with apology and pleading.

"Of course, if you are unwilling, Mr. Lin has already promised me that you can return to the Hall of Heroes on your own."

After saying that, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at everyone with hopeful eyes.

Mashu was the first to respond to Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze.

She would support any choice Fujimaru Ritsuka made. Besides, because she and Fujimaru Ritsuka had been captured and humiliated by Lin Jiu'an before, she wasn't actually that resistant to Lin Jiu'an.

"Senior, whatever decision you make, I will stay by your side."

"Thank you, Matthew."

"I'll stay too."

The second to respond was Mordred.

Her attitude was more casual. Apart from being caught and thrown into the pool, she had no hostile relationship with Lin Jiu'an, and besides, both of her mothers were with him.

Even if it's just for her two mothers, she has to stay.

"Karna?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes brightened even more.

He looked towards Karna first, between Arjuna and Karna.

Although she didn't spend much time with either of them, she clearly spent more time with Karna, and she also knew that although he was righteous, he valued loyalty even more.

There is also a higher probability that they will agree.

After their eyes met, Karna nodded without any change in expression.

He said calmly, "I will do as you command."

She was previously loyal to the Master she was summoned to, Edison.

However, after Fujimaru Ritsuka persuaded Edison, she followed him and he was practically her master. Now, Edison has been killed by the demon and Goetia.

Whether it was an act of revenge for the previous Master.

Or perhaps it was to fulfill his duty of loyalty and do what he could to help the girl he admired.

"Thank you, Karna."

Although she had already guessed that Karna would probably stay, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but smile with surprise when he actually agreed to stay.

Although she treats all the heroic spirits who are willing to help her equally.

But obviously.

Regarding the current war situation.

Mordred and Mash are no longer of any influence on the overall situation.

Those four demon gods were not the stupid demon god pillars they had encountered before that only knew how to attack mechanically, but were beings that truly possessed self-awareness and the power of demon gods.

Those demon gods could probably kill them instantly with a single basic attack.

Only heroic spirits of Karna and Arjuna's caliber can participate in the final battle.

"Arjuna?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked nervously at Arjuna.

Arjuna smiled and said, "I will follow you until the day I perish."

If helping Cú Chulainn was merely out of loyalty to his master after he was summoned, then helping Fujimaru Ritsuka, besides the rescue, was also out of appreciation.

Moreover, regarding Lin Jiu'an...

Although the humiliation of falling into the pool was rather despicable, it wasn't enough to make her lose her mind like Artemis. She was able to understand and comprehend that Fujimaru Ritsuka's choice was the most correct one.

in contrast.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka was merely acting out of personal feelings, feeling sorry for others, and thus abandoning the opportunity to save the world through her collaboration with Lin Jiu'an, and instead choosing to remain locked in a life-or-death struggle with Lin Jiu'an under such circumstances...

Only then will he reconsider the other party's abilities.

Moreover.

Arjuna seemed to glance casually at Karna, who stood to the side with his eyes fixed straight ahead, and the image of Rama and Sita fighting flashed through his mind.

To be able to fight alongside them.

For her, it was a rare and joyful and honorable thing.

"Let me return to Valhalla!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka lowered her head and remained silent.

Instead, Lin Jiu'an teased, "Aren't you overthinking it?"

"Did Ritsuka even look at you when she was speaking just now?"

Artemis paused, then suddenly realized that Fujimaru Ritsuka had only given her an apologetic look at the beginning of their conversation.

after that.

Especially when trying to persuade someone to surrender.

Fujimaru Ritsuka deliberately avoided looking at her from beginning to end, and Lin Jiu'an's last words completely shattered her illusions.

“You’re not like them.”

“I have no grudge against them, but the two of us do have a grudge.”
