Even without asking directly, he could basically guess her identity—her extremely sexy outfit, the faintly shimmering golden halo on her shoulders, and her innate noble temperament all highlighted her divine status.

“Ishtar…” he blurted out almost instinctively.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't sensed any 'hostility' from the other party, Tohsaka Yu would have been prepared to use his newly acquired special ability to call out 'Mom'.

Ishtar raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then chuckled, "Oh? You actually know my name? It seems you really are no ordinary person."

She walked gracefully forward, each step seemingly floating on clouds, and the surrounding air appeared brighter because of her presence.

Ishtar tilted her head, sized up the boy a few times, and said with a smile, "Looks quite young... probably only fifteen or sixteen years old?"

"What's your name?" she asked.

Yu Tohsaka's mind raced, her thoughts working at lightning speed.

Ishtar, as the goddess of love and war, is a very important figure in Uruk, and her relationship with Gilgamesh... doesn't seem to be very friendly.

Gaining her support might be helpful for my future actions.

However, she is also a goddess with an eccentric temper, and a slight misstep could lead to her death.

“Yu Tohsaka, a magician from the East.” He bowed slightly, maintaining just the right amount of respect. “As for why I’m here… to be honest, I’m not quite sure either. It seems that some kind of force beyond space brought me here.”

This is not a complete lie; he was indeed brought into this world by that disc.

Ishtar strolled around the hill, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and interest, as if she were assessing the value of a toy.

“An Eastern magician? Interesting…” she said softly. “You have a peculiar aura about you, as if you were from this world, yet also as if you came from somewhere else.”

She suddenly leaned closer, almost face to face with Tohsaka Yu, so that he could clearly feel the fragrant breath she exhaled.

"Moreover, you also have a trace of... your mother's scent."

Upon hearing the word "mother," Tohsaka Yu's heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Mother?" he asked, feigning ignorance. "You mean...?"

Ishtar chuckled, took a few steps back, and put her hands on her hips.

"Stop playing dumb. I just sensed your mother's presence emanating from you." Her tone suddenly turned serious. "This is no small matter. Do you know what this presence means?"

Yu Tohsaka remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

Ishtar suddenly changed the subject, a pleased smile inadvertently curving her lips: "That arrogant king has noticed your presence and wishes to bring you to Uruk for interrogation."

“Gilgamesh…” Yu Tohsaka said softly.

"Oh? You even know that golden-haired guy's name?"

Ishtar raised an eyebrow, a sly smile appearing on her exquisite and beautiful face, and continued, "In that case, our conversation will be much easier from here on out."

"...What do you want to do?" Yuan Yi Lingyi (7) Si Jiu Si (9) Pa u Ban You asked subconsciously.

When Ishtar came to him, he was already prepared to fight her... but to his surprise, this goddess did not play by the rules at all. Not only did she not attack him, but it seemed that she was planning to cooperate with him in some way.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to give you a suggestion."

Ishtar's voice softened and became alluring as she smiled and said, "Rather than be captured by that arrogant king, how about becoming my divine messenger?"

"A divine messenger?" Tohsaka Yu was taken aback.

“That’s right!” Ishtar’s eyes lit up with excitement. “By becoming my divine messenger and being under my protection, I naturally won’t have to worry about that golden jewel’s threat.”

She circled around Tohsaka Yu again, her fingers gently brushing against his shoulder. The touch was like a feather caress, yet it carried a tingling, electric sensation.

"And..." her voice lowered, tinged with a hint of seduction, "I can grant you some small wishes to make you happy~"

Ishtar's words were clearly suggestive; she even deliberately puffed out her ample bosom, and a sly glint flashed in her bright eyes.

To make some kind of deal with a goddess?

It must be said that this is indeed a very tempting offer.

Ishtar, in Mesopotamian mythology, is the most beautiful goddess among all the gods. Every move she makes exudes an alluring charm, and just a few simple actions and words are enough to make the opposite sex fall head over heels for her.

Yu Tohsaka glanced at her subconsciously. After their eyes met for a moment, Ishtar, as if guiding a believer, reached out and gently took the boy's hand. This time, the expression on her face was no longer frivolous teasing, but rather carried a mysterious solemnity.

"Become my divine messenger, Tohsaka Yu... I will protect you from that golden glitter and grant you the power of a divine messenger."

Ishtar reached out and gently stroked Tohsaka Yu's cheek; the touch was warm and soft.

"As for those little wishes I mentioned earlier..." A mischievous glint appeared in her eyes again, "Of course, they're serious~ As the goddess of love and beauty, I have many ways to make you happy~"

Is she a goddess or a little devil...?

Yu Tohsaka fell into a long silence, not only because of Ishtar's alluring words, but also because he was facing a difficult choice.

Becoming Ishtar's messenger means gaining divine protection, but it also means standing on the opposite side of Gilgamesh.

But if you refuse, you will not only lose a potentially powerful ally, but you may also face the wrath of the goddess.

How should I choose...?

As Yu Tohsaka was thinking this, lightning suddenly flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds had unknowingly covered the entire wilderness.

Ishtar looked up at the sky and quickly clicked his tongue.

"The Three Goddesses Alliance... I didn't expect them to have noticed your presence too. They reacted really quickly."

Tiamat, the creator goddess who has been sleeping in the 'imaginary world', is not to be underestimated even if there is only a trace of her aura... And when Yu Tohsaka appeared on the land of Uruk, his aura almost immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

If Tohsaka Yu is captured by the 'Three Goddess Alliance', who knows what will become of her.

Yu Tohsaka also realized something, and for a moment she was speechless, saying, "Why do I feel like I've suddenly become Tang Sanzang..."

"Now is not the time for nonsense. We must leave here as soon as possible. If we are targeted by more than two goddesses at the same time, even I will have a headache!"

Having said that, Ishtar didn't give Tohsaka Yu a chance to answer. She grabbed his wrist and lifted him directly onto the Sky Ship, Maanna.

The celestial vessel suddenly soared into the sky, heading towards the temple of Ishtar.

……

Shortly after the two left, a dark shadow quietly descended upon the spot where Yu Tohsaka and Ishtar had just been standing.

The shadow slowly coalesced, revealing a glamorous woman in a tight black dress.

She has gorgeous long purple hair and pale skin. Her eyes gleam with a dangerous light, like amethyst. A pair of curved black horns float above her head, and sharp claws grow from her fingertips. Countless black and purple energy particles surround her.

One of the Three Goddesses Alliance – Gorgon, the Mother Goddess of Warcraft.

She sniffed the lingering scent in the air, a strange smile appearing on her pale face.

"It's really interesting..."

Gorgon's slender fingers gently traced the air, as if he could capture the magical traces left by Ishtar and Yu Tohsaka.

"This aura... it's not just that of an ordinary magician," she murmured to herself, her voice like a snake's hiss. "It even contains a trace of 'creation' divinity..."

A glint of greed and excitement flashed in her eyes as she licked her sharp canines with her tongue.

"A magician with the aura of Tiamat... If we could capture him, we might be able to breed even more powerful magical beasts."

Thinking of this, a sickly light flashed in Gorgon's eyes, and a ball of dark purple energy condensed in her palm. She raised her hands and began to chant an ancient incantation, the sound echoing across the empty land.

As the chant ended, the center of the earth began to tremble, and a magic circle slowly emerged, radiating a light that was a mixture of gold and black.

Within the magic circle, a large amount of soil surged forth, gradually coalescing into a human shape.

A tall, slender figure with long green hair quietly appeared in the center of the magic circle. He wore a magnificent white robe, his eyes were cold and arrogant, and he had a disdainful smile on his face.

“Jingu, I need you to help me capture someone.” Gorgon’s tone was cold and calm.

"Capture?" Jingu raised an eyebrow, his tone full of sarcasm. "The mighty Mother of Beasts, you actually need me to capture a mere human?"

“This human is no ordinary being,” Gorgon said, a dangerous glint in his eyes. “He possesses the divinity of ‘creation’.”

Upon hearing the word 'creation,' Jingu's expression changed slightly, and his gaze inadvertently drifted towards Gorgon.

"Where is he now?"

A hint of interest had appeared in his eyes at some point.

Gorgon smiled with satisfaction: "I knew you'd be interested. That magician should be in the temple of Ishtar right now. You need to be careful."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Also... don't hurt him."

"He's just a magician... Do you think he has any chance to fight back?"

Kingu looked up and gazed in the direction of the Ishtar Temple, a hint of coldness flashing in his golden eyes.

"He can't run away."

Volume 1: Chapter 6 Enkidu?

Following Ishtar, Yu Tohsaka unknowingly arrived in front of a towering and magnificent temple.

The temple's outer walls are made of pure white limestone, inlaid with beautifully colored lapis lazuli and cinnabar, which gleam in the sunlight.

Stepping inside the temple, towering columns surround the main hall, each depicting the goddess's great achievements.

As expected of a popular goddess in Mesopotamian mythology, the temple's decorations are quite extravagant... Yu Tohsaka looked around the temple and quickly sighed inwardly.

Ishtar walked along the temple's main hall to the chaise longue at the far end, where she reclined comfortably on the soft silk-covered surface, her posture languid and elegant.

Seemingly noticing the 'shock' in the boy's eyes, she asked with a hint of pride, "So? Compared to the glittering palace, my temple has much more taste, doesn't it?"

“It’s truly amazing, and it suits your charm perfectly,” Yuuto Tohsaka said.

A satisfied smile appeared on Ishtar's face. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and several maids immediately brought up trays with crystal-clear wine glasses and various exquisite pastries.

“Try them. These are delicacies prepared for the gods, but as my future divine messenger, you are entitled to enjoy them,” Ishtar said with a smile.

"Thank you, Goddess." Tohsaka Yu bowed respectfully.

Well... I have to say, this goddess is actually quite easy to fool, or rather, quite easy to deceive... in a sense.

In fact, Tohsaka Yu hadn't lied. Ishtar's temple was quite beautiful, both in appearance and interior decoration, but as a modern person, he wouldn't show such a 'shocked' expression.

However, in order to satisfy Ishtar's vanity, Tohsaka Yu chose a more emotionally intelligent response.

Looking at the food placed in front of her, Tohsaka Yu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "Goddess, before we begin, I would like to ask you a question."

"You want to ask why I'm so obsessed with you, right?"

Ishtar chuckled, took an elegant sip of her drink, and said lazily, "The reason I came to find you is not simply to snatch the person Gilgamesh wants."

She put down her wine glass, her bright red eyes looking directly into Tohsaka Yu's eyes, and said softly, "To be honest, I'm quite interested in your body too."

"..."

Tohsaka Yu remained silent, thinking to herself, "What kind of inappropriate words are these? Saying this on our very first day together... is it really that bad?"

As if sensing what the boy was thinking, for a fleeting moment, a faint blush appeared on Ishtar's delicate, fair cheeks, but it vanished in an instant.

She glared at the boy and said, "What are you thinking?! I'm talking about your body! I'm interested in your body! To put it bluntly, I'm talking about the aura within you!"

Every magician has a special 'magic circuit' inside their body, and Tohsaka Yu is no exception.

However, his magic circuits seem to be even more special... because in this path, Ishtar clearly sensed the divinity of 'creation'.

Thinking of this, Ishtar's gaze suddenly deepened. She stepped down from the couch and walked step by step to Yu Tohsaka.

The two were so close that Yuu Tohsaka could smell the warm, delicate fragrance emanating from her.

As their eyes met, Ishtar reached out and gently stroked Tohsaka Yu's cheek, her voice suddenly taking on a seductive quality: "Tohsaka Yu...right?"

"To be honest, I've been curious ever since I first met you. Can you tell me what your relationship is with 'Mother'?"

Before Tohsaka Yu could speak, Ishtar's eyes revealed a playful smile: "Besides, you don't need to try to lie. The aura of 'creation' divinity within you won't lie... I don't like bad kids who lie, you know?"

"If you can honestly answer my questions, I'll give you a small...reward~"

As she finished speaking, Ishtar gently placed a hand on his shoulder and almost leaned down to press her red lips close to Tohsaka Yu's ear.

At that moment, Yu Tohsaka seemed to feel an incredibly peculiar magic emanating from Ishtar's red lips. That magic was warm and intoxicating, as if an invisible force was trying to tempt him.

It has to be said that she truly deserves to be called the goddess of beauty... Although in the original Type-Moon work, this goddess seems to be more like a 'fool', when you actually face her, her magic of love and beauty seems to be constantly seducing men's desires, making them want to kneel down at her feet.

however……

Yu Tohsaka had absolutely no way of answering Ishtar's question.

It's impossible to tell Ishtar right now that I entered this world of Sewol Fever through a 'game' and that I met 'Tiamat' right at the start and even got along with her very harmoniously for several days... Even if I told her the truth, Ishtar probably wouldn't believe me.

Yu Tohsaka kept adjusting her breathing, trying to stay as calm as possible.
