A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

But Shirou doesn't care at all about offending the goddess; in fact, he's quite adept at it.

"Hey? What are you looking at?" The girl, who was being held by Shirou, glared at him rudely.

"Look at your legs, is there a problem?" Shirou said matter-of-factly.

"Hmph! Who gave you the right to touch me so casually? Let me go!" Ishtar shouted fiercely at Shirou.

Upon hearing her words, Shirou immediately let go of her hand without hesitation.

The sudden weightlessness caused Ishtar to freeze for a moment, and then her body began to fall uncontrollably.

boom!

"Why...why did you suddenly let go?!"

"Didn't you tell me to let go?" Shirou spread his hands innocently.

"you……!!"

The girl was furious, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only puff out her cheeks in anger.

"Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat me like this! What city are you from?!"

"Fuyuki City." Shirou replied.

"Huh?" Ishtar raised an eyebrow, her expression turning somewhat puzzled. "What place is that?"

At this moment, Mash and Gudako also recovered from the sudden chaos and looked at Ishtar, who had barged in between the three of them.

"It seems to me that the accidental conflict just now wasn't Shirou's fault... Could we have a proper talk?"

Mashu looked at Ishtar and asked, "Um...may I ask who you are...?"

Upon hearing Mash's words, Ishtar stared at the two of them and sized them up.

"You don't recognize me? Are you serious?"

"Huh... what does that mean...?" Gudako was a little confused. "We are members of an organization called Chaldea, and we came to this singularity in order to restore humanity."

Ishtar nodded upon hearing Gudako's explanation.

"I see. So you're guests from a foreign land? Well... that's not impossible. I'm only able to do this thanks to 'her'..."

Ishtar paused abruptly as she spoke.

"By the way, I have a question for you. Have you noticed anything important that has fallen nearby?"

"Huh? What?" Gudako and Mashu tilted their heads.

“I mean… something that looks really cool!” Ishtar waved her hands, drawing a shape in the air that left everyone bewildered. “Well, have you ever seen one like this before?”

“Even if you ask that…” Gudako scratched her hair.

"Did you lose something?" Mashu asked immediately afterward.

When asked this question out of the blue, Ishtar glared at him like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Huh?! How is that possible! I didn't lose anything!"

"..."

Seeing the three people staring at her silently, Ishtar felt her cheeks gradually burning.

"Say something! Sometimes silence is the cruelest thing!"

Just then, the cry of some kind of animal came from somewhere.

"Ah! It's over there!!"

A look of joy appeared on Ishtar's face, and she immediately flew into the sky, heading in the direction from which the sound came.

“She’s gone… that person with a rather strange personality…” Mash stared blankly at Ishtar’s receding figure.

"Yes, it's about time we got down to business."

Gudako then looked away and turned to Shirou beside her.

"Orihara-senpai, would you like to come along?"

"Let's go. Anyway, as long as we're with you guys, we'll run into that goddess again." Shirou nodded.

Shirou was still considering whether to expel Ishtar directly from Rin's body or to wait and see.

Ereshkigal might eventually go into Rin's body.

"...I feel really uneasy when you say that, senior." Gudako felt a little embarrassed by Shirou's words.

At that moment, Roman's voice finally came through the communicator on Gudako's wrist.

"Hey...! Great, communications are finally back!"

At the same time, the roars of monsters rose up from all around once again, and one after another, monsters that seemed to be cut from the same mold began to surround the location where Gudako, Mash and Shirou were.

"Doctor, we can talk later! Mashu, go on alert!"

"Yes!"

Mash immediately raised her shield in front of her.

"These monsters seem to be the same ones from before. It seems they didn't run away, but rather went to call for reinforcements because they realized they couldn't defeat them."

Shirou glanced at the approaching, menacing monsters around him.

“I checked it before, and these magical beasts were mass-produced from the same mold, they didn’t appear naturally.”

"Mass-produced? Who would do that...?" Gudako frowned immediately.

"Let's deal with these monsters first before discussing this."

As Shirou spoke, blue ripples appeared in the air above him, and within each ripple, the Noble Phantasm's sharpness was revealed, ready to be unleashed.

Just then, a clanging sound came from the other side of the sky, and silver chains shot towards the monsters, the golden wedges at the front piercing through them one by one!

Without even a howl, the swarming monsters were easily killed.

"The Chains of Heaven?" Shirou raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction from which the chains had flown out.

A figure dressed in a white robe, with long green hair and purple eyes, walked into the three people's view.

He possessed an unparalleled beauty that defied categorization of gender; it was impossible to determine his or her sex—perhaps this was the epitome of androgynous beauty.

Right.

“That just cleared the air for the surrounding magical beasts, but other magical beasts will still be attracted by the smell of blood. Let’s leave here first,” he said.

Judging from the voice, it sounds more masculine.

Then, he looked at Gudako.

"You must be the Master of Chaldea? I've been waiting for you in this Age of Gods for a long time." His voice was very gentle, which unconsciously made people feel good about him.

"Who are you?" Mashu looked at the other person, feeling as if she had seen him somewhere before.

“Those people over there should know more about my identity, right?” he said, looking at Shirou. “You just… mentioned the name of the divine artifact I possess, didn’t you?”

Chapter 8 Absolute Demonic Front

“The Chains of Heaven, right?” Shirou replied.

“Yes, that’s right.” ’He’ nodded.

At that moment, Dr. Roman's voice also came through the communicator.

"Judging from your appearance and Noble Phantasm, are you perhaps Enkidu?"

Roman had also witnessed the scene where the chains had wiped out the surrounding monsters in one fell swoop.

"If Gilgamesh is the Wedge of Heaven, a hybrid of human and god created from nothing, then Enkidu is the 'Chain of Heaven,' created by the gods to bring the Wedge of Heaven back to their side. The two of them are the beings that connect humans and gods."

Roman introduced the other person to Gudako and Mashu, who were still somewhat confused.

"At the same time, Enkidu is a hero whom even Gilgamesh could not destroy, a hero with a moral and upright heart."

"Your praise makes me a little embarrassed."

He closed his purple eyes slightly and said, "Then, let's go."

Gudako and Mashu immediately followed behind him, while Shirou casually glanced at the man with Enkidu's face before catching up.

Enkidu is already dead.

The person who occupied Enkidu's body, which should have been dead, was a new soul formed by the Magic King Solomon (Goetia) stealing and using the body of the deceased Enkidu, and resurrecting it with the power of the Holy Grail. Therefore, his actual age should be less than one year old.

However, Shirou did not reveal his true identity at this moment, but quietly watched him continue his performance.

Gilgamesh could see through his deception at a glance.

"By the way, Enkidu, do you know anything about us?" Gudako asked Kingu curiously during the journey.

"Well... I think I understand. You're acting to deal with the Holy Grail that the Magic King sent to different eras, right?"

“I know you have experienced six singularities before, and I was sent by the High Priestess of Uruk to protect guests from foreign lands,” Kingu replied calmly.

"However, this gentleman was not mentioned in the priestess's words."

As he spoke, 'Kingu's' eerie purple eyes shifted toward Shirou, clearly puzzled by his appearance.

"Perhaps it's because your priestess isn't capable enough," Shirou shrugged.

"..." Jingu's expression froze for a moment, then he looked away and continued walking forward. "Perhaps you are right. Even gods cannot do everything."

"This era shouldn't have collapsed yet, right?" Mash asked immediately afterward.

"Yes, the humans of the Age of Gods are not so easily subdued. However, the situation in Mesopotamia is still very dangerous. Originally, the road to Uruk could go directly south, but now it would enter the territory of other powers. Cities are being destroyed one by one, and the surviving humans are all going to the city of Uruk for refuge."

"Is this something a Holy Grail holder would do?" Gudako asked, her brow furrowed.

The ruins we just passed looked like a city that had been destroyed. Just as Orihara-senpai had mentioned, this was the work of those mass-produced magical beasts. Gudako thought to herself.

“No… the Holy Grail has not yet fallen into anyone’s hands. Our enemy… is God.” Kingu uttered a word that instantly made Gudako and Mash feel a sense of oppression.

"It's... a god!?" Mashu was immediately astonished. The mere word 'god' was already a synonym for power.

"The Three Goddesses Alliance has already seized 60% of Mesopotamia's land," Kingu nodded and said.

"This... since she is... a goddess... isn't she a human's partner!?" Mashu asked in surprise.

"Gods have never been humanity's allies." Upon hearing this, 'Jingu's' expression turned cold. "The alliance formed by the three goddesses... their goal is to annihilate humanity!"
