Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

"Hey, you bastard, could it be that you...?"

Ishtar lowered her head in shame, rubbing her fingers repeatedly, and said in an extremely soft voice:

“...Yes, I don’t have...Gugalana…”

The cheerful sounds abruptly stopped, and everyone looked at Ishtar with incredulous eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ishtar, as if resigned to her fate, closed her eyes and shouted loudly:

"It's gone, I lost it, I don't know where it went!"

Only Ishtar's faint breathing could be heard in the arena; everyone else was stunned by the news.

"Pfft!"

Looking at Ishtar's expression, as if she wanted to cry but couldn't, Mo Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As if in a chain reaction, everyone shouted in unison.

"Eh!!!"

"You idiot goddess, do you think I recruited you into my team for some other reason?!"

Gilgamesh roared, for time was running out, and everyone fell silent once more.

Ishtar was also punished by being made to stand under a pillar, holding a clay tablet inscribed with "I am an incompetent goddess".

Is the Tohsaka family tradition failing them? They're not even the same person, but they're remarkably similar in some ways.

"Alright, let's dismiss this meeting. The war council is temporarily adjourned!"

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, he walked out alone.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

"You all should get some rest tonight. I guess that's all the time we'll have. I'm going to help Ereshkigal rebuild the Underworld. If anything comes up, just have Quetzal inform me!"

After Mo Li finished speaking, he slowly disappeared from everyone's sight and made his way to the underground of Uruk.

The process of rebuilding the underworld is simple: use divine power to transfer the underworld energy from beneath Kusa City to the underworld of Uruk. With enough underworld energy present, the underworld will naturally form.

Ereshkigal had overheard the conversation on the ground and approached with a worried expression, asking:

"Are you sure it's okay? They can't stand up to Mother if you're not around."

Mo Li shook his head. He had his own considerations, and the affairs of the underworld were the most important.

"It's alright, let's open the gates to the underworld first!"

After saying that, Mo Li closed his eyes, and a black light shone from the center of his palm.

Seeing this, Ai Lei knew that Mo Li didn't want to say more, so she considerately didn't ask any more questions. She also stretched out her arms and summoned the Gate of the Underworld with Mo Li.

There's one more thing Mo Li didn't mention: the corrupted Morgan will definitely join forces with Tiamat to launch an attack on Uruk.

Killing Tiamat would inevitably lead to a confrontation with Morgan, something Mo Li desperately wanted to avoid.

For the first time, Mo Li chose to run away from Morgan.

He hesitated. If he killed Tiamat, Morgan would die with her. This was one of the reasons why Moli was reluctant to hand over Gugalana.

....0

That's right. Since signing the contract with Ishtar, Moli can use all of her abilities, including commanding the Sumerian divine beast Gugalana.

The gates to the underworld slowly opened, and a continuous stream of underworld energy emanated from the other side.

With a wave of his hand, Mo Li caused all the aura of the underworld to spread underground in Uruk. Before long, this place would become a new underworld.

"Mo Li, you..."

"I'm fine. I'll help you stabilize the aura of the underworld in the next few days."

Ai Lei bit her lower lip lightly; even the most oblivious person could tell that Mo Li was troubled.

In fact, Ai Lei could have done this all by herself. Mo Li's willingness to come is ultimately an escape from something.

But Ai Lei didn't ask; her trust in Mo Li was beyond everyone's imagination.

The night passed quickly, and the sun rose slowly from the east once again.

On the ground, everyone gathered again in the temple hall, where King Gilgamesh sat on his throne.

Tiamat's holographic projection appeared in the center.

"this is……"

"Hehe, this is a full-body drawing that I made together with the priests of Uruk, based on the information provided by you, and completed in Chaldea."

Romani’s proud voice came through the communicator.

"That was a difficult task. The Coastline Survivor Academy sent a report that Tiamat is walking on the sea, seemingly unable to control her weight. I suspect she can only walk on the black mud, a hypothesis that Chaldea and I both agree with."

Chapter 541 Changing the Battle Plan, Aqua's Great Victory

"In other words, the black mud was like a slide for Tiamat to move around."

"If we can remove it, we can stop her from advancing..."

"With Aqua here, there won't be any problems purifying the black mud."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, although Aqua had a significant intellectual deficiency, her ability to purify water was undeniable.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a soldier suddenly burst into the conference room.

"Report: The southern monitoring station has confirmed Tiamat's renewed activity; she is 8 hours away from reaching Uruk."

"What did you say? This is a full half day earlier than expected."

Gilgamesh frowned; now he could only place all his hopes on Aqua.

Beneath Uruk, the underworld is slowly forming.

Mo Li sat on a large rock, his eyes fixed on the "140" battle situation in the Mirror of the Underworld.

Gudako, Mash, Anna, Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, and the others came together to Tiamat to cover Aqua's retreat.

"Are you sure you shouldn't go help them?"

Ai Lei said worriedly from the side, looking at Mo Li's tightly furrowed brows, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Mo Li shook his head and didn't say anything.

However, the moment he saw the corrupted Morgan on screen, his fists clenched tightly.

Even with the power of the two goddesses, Ishtar and Quetzal, they were still somewhat overwhelmed by the overwhelming forces of Rahmu and the corrupted Morgan.

"Aa ...

The battle had begun, accompanied by Aqua's cries.

Looking at Aqua's embarrassing state, Mo Li had several black lines appear on his forehead.

You're a member of the Demon King's family, so why is your art style different from everyone else's?

"The rest is up to you, Miss Aqua!"

After Quetzal finished speaking, he grabbed Aqua by the collar and smiled slightly at her.

Aqua's face instantly turned ugly, and she was about to say something when Quetzal threw her into the black mud.

"Help me!!!"

A scream drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

The corrupted Morgan and Rahmu seemed to have received some orders, and they flew desperately toward Aqua in the air.

Ishtar, Anna, and others paved the way for Aqua.

But faced with the overwhelming number of Rahmu, the group's attack seemed somewhat insignificant.

Just as the Rahmu were about to make contact with Aqua, the air in front of them suddenly distorted, and the next moment Aqua appeared directly on top of the black mud.

This scene surprised everyone, except for Ishtar and Quetzal who exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and continued their attack on Rahmu.

Anna seemed to be moved as well, raising her head to look at the sky and murmuring:

"is it you?"

Seeing this scene from the underworld, Mo Li snorted coldly, but he still couldn't help but take action.

A smile appeared on Ai Lei's lips as she gently sat down next to Mo Li.

"Purify...purify...purify..."

To prevent the black mud from getting on her, Aqua's palms emitted a bright light, and she began her purification journey.

The effect was remarkable; the purified black mud was restored to its original state as seawater.

Tiamat finally stopped, and everyone's faces lit up with joy.

"It seems you still haven't learned your lesson. Fine, I'll send you to your death then!"

A corrupted Morgan quietly emerged from the sea and appeared directly behind Aqua.

By the time Aqua reacted, the corrupted Morgan had already raised his longsword and was about to stab her in the back.

At the critical moment, a chain wrapped around the longsword, stopping the corrupted Morgan from acting.

"I absolutely cannot let you hurt Miss Aqua!"

"Anna!"

Anna leaped off the pterosaur's back, and the Blade of Annihilation instantly sliced ​​across the neck of the corrupted Morgan.

"Phew... I'm saved!"

Aqua sighed, then continued purifying the black mud.

Anna, on the other hand, stood guard beside Aqua, eliminating any Rahmu who tried to approach.

Just when everyone thought the operation was a success, Tiamat made a new move.

Tiamat's massive back bones unfolded, and the powerful magical reaction shook the world.

To everyone's astonishment, Tiamat broke free of the black mud and flew into the air.

"This...how is this possible...?"

"In that case, Ishtar, let's unleash our Noble Phantasms."

Quetzal hardened his heart and prepared to use his Noble Phantasm to stop Tiamat's advance.

But Ishtar lowered her head, her tone becoming very dejected.

"It's no use, my bow can't do any damage to the Goddess of Origin..."

Ishtar, as the native god of Mesopotamia, was like a child to Tiamat, who possessed primordial divinity.

"Oh, I see. Well, there's nothing we can do about it then!"

Quetzal smiled slightly, preparing to face Tiamat alone.

She is the chief deity of the South American pantheon. Although she is not as divine as Tiamat, it is still possible to stop her for a while, but the price may be one's own life.

"Wait a minute, Quetzalcoatl..."

Ishtar was about to stop him when Quetzal stopped him.

"Next up is my show! I really hope Brother Mo Li can witness this!"

Quetzal said with a smile, the determination in his eyes silencing Ishtar.

Quetzal slowly rose into the air, crossed his arms, and radiated a light like the sun.

Just then, a voice suddenly entered her mind.

"It's not time for you to unleash your Noble Phantasm yet. Take them back."

"That voice... is... Brother Mo Li...!"

Quetzal looked around in surprise, but couldn't find Mo Li.

"Leave the task of stopping Tiamat to me, though I don't know how long it will last."

Mo Li's helpless voice rang out. He couldn't just stand by and watch Quetzal die; otherwise, he would be far too incompetent as the Demon King.

Just as Quetzal was wondering, a faint light streaked across the sky with a "whoosh".
