A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

The moment Gilgamesh uttered those words, an angry female voice echoed from the top of the tower.

"What did you say!!"

boom----!

The top of the tower was smashed open by the goddess Ishtar, leaving a huge hole.

Stones fell, and dust filled the entire palace.

"That's Lady Ishtar!"

"Everyone retreat!"

"Get out now!"

The soldiers' panicked voices began to emanate from the air.

“Senior! Isn’t that lady the one we met before…” Mash recognized the goddess as the woman they had encountered at the ruins.

"So she was the goddess Ishtar..." Gudako also seemed somewhat surprised.

Compared to their composure, the palace guards were in a complete panic, demanding emergency refuge, requesting special permission from the priests to pray, and asking for a spell to suppress the city god.

But Gilgamesh, as king, did not react at all.

"Oh my?" Ishtar was surprised to see Gudako and Mash after landing on the ground. She didn't expect to meet them here. Then she saw Shirou and Merlin.

A slightly displeased gaze lingered briefly on Shirou's face.

"You're here too...!"

"Why, can't I be here?"

Ishtar's face turned bright red with anger at Shirou's question.

"She looks cute when she's angry." Shirou looked at the goddess using Rin's body with great interest.

"You bastard! Damn it, whatever, let's just turn this whole place to ashes!"

Enraged, Ishtar raised her right hand and unleashed a golden magical beam from between her index fingers.

boom----!

But their target was Gilgamesh, who sat atop the throne, ready to watch the show.

Gilgamesh, who was caught off guard by the sudden attack, hurriedly used "Gate of Babylon," but the Noble Phantasm that was launched was destroyed by the magical beam attack.

"Why did that guy provoke you but then attack me, you stupid goddess!" Gilgamesh asked, his face full of confusion.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Having lost her mind, Ishtar unleashed another magical energy beam.

"Mash!" Gudako immediately called out to Mash, not wanting Gilgamesh, who possessed the Holy Grail, to be attacked.

"understand!"

Without hesitation, Mash materialized her Noble Phantasm and stepped forward, blocking the path of the goddess Ishtar.

At the same time, Anna, who was standing behind Merlin, also rushed out.

Mash reacted incredibly quickly, arriving just before the beam cannon was about to reach Gilgamesh and deflecting it with her cross shield.

Anna appeared in front of Ishtar, wielding a scythe and sweeping it across Ishtar!

“切

! ”

Ishtar, who had been stopped, produced a strange, large bow in her hand. She swung it to block Anna's attack and, in that instant, kicked Anna away.

"Ugh!" Anna groaned, her body unable to withstand the goddess's power, and she was sent flying backward without stopping.

"Anna!" Mash rushed forward and stood in front of Anna, who had fallen to the ground.

Ishtar, who had been rushing towards Mash like an arrow, suddenly stopped the moment her gaze swept over Anna's exposed face.

Then, she walked closer and scrutinized Anna in front of Mash, who looked tense.

"I see... This really is cause and effect, destiny..."

Ishtar sighed and turned around.

"I changed my mind."

"What, are you going to run away with your tail between your legs?" Gilgamesh mocked with a laugh.

“I was just taking a stroll. Goodbye, King of Uruk.” Ishtar said this as she looked at the veiled woman.

"By the way, Siduri. If Gilgamesh dies, I might still consider helping Uruk. You should prepare to surrender."

Ishtar, standing atop the strange great bow, smiled and waved to her before rising into the sky, disappearing quickly away from Uruk amidst a sudden sonic boom.

"White flag? What does that mean...?" Siduri tilted her head in confusion.

"What a troublemaker."

Gilgamesh sighed, "Never mind, Siduri, let's get back to work."

“Yes, sir.” Siduri withdrew her gaze and turned around. “Then, let’s deal with the flooding of the Tigris River first.”

"I was hoping that Miss Ishtar's appearance would change the King's mind," Mashu said with a hint of helplessness, watching Gilgamesh become serious as he got into his work.

"Since things have come to this, there's nothing we can do about it," Merlin shrugged. "Anyway, you should find a place to stay first."

"That's all we can do," Gudako said, somewhat helplessly.

At that moment, Merlin whispered.

"That king is a fickle man; perhaps he'll be willing to listen to us tomorrow."

At that moment, Gilgamesh, who had been listening to Siduri's report, suddenly looked at Merlin.

“Fools! Uruk is facing an unprecedented crisis. I have no time to accompany your Chaldea on excursions. If you insist on serving me no matter what…”

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly, a pleased smile appearing on his lips.

Chapter Fourteen: Ushiwakamaru's Hospitality

"Damn it... They actually made the Master who saves the world do menial tasks...!"

Stepping out of the tower, Gudako puffed out her cheeks and complained.

At this moment, Siduri, who had come out from behind, spoke with a smile.

"Please rest assured, I will ensure your current livelihood."

"Um...you're the king's advisor from earlier, right?" Gudako asked, looking at her.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Siduri, and I am the person in charge of the sacrificial site."

Siduli introduced herself to everyone with a smile.

“Please follow me, I will arrange accommodations for you.” With that, Siduri walked ahead.

The group immediately followed.

Walking through the bustling city, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares echoed everywhere, children chased and played by the roadside, and men and women exchanged glances in the dimly lit alleys.

"The city is completely different from the outside world..." Shirou remarked upon seeing this scene.

"That's because soldiers are on the front lines defending against the invasion of monsters, which is why this is the scene here."

Siduri then added, "Although this is just my personal opinion, if you want the King to listen to your concerns, I believe that establishing merit is the best way."

"Merit? Does it mean going to fight on the monster front?" Mash asked quickly.

"Instead of that, why don't you try out different jobs in Uruk first?"

Siduli smiled and said, "I will help you find jobs."

"Looking for work in Uruk..." Mash looked around.

“Since the king has ordered me to take care of you, I will do my best to help you. That king rarely goes to such lengths.”

As she spoke, Siduli stopped in front of a bungalow.

"This is...our base?" Gudako asked curiously as she followed Siduri into the room.

Mash and Shirou, who were following behind, also looked around.

"Yes, this is the dormitory provided for you. Although it is a bit old, the space is still quite spacious."

“Thank you very much, Miss Siduri,” Gudako said gratefully.

"This must be the Chaldea embassy, ​​Master!"

Mashu said happily, "I didn't expect to be able to go independent so quickly!"

“Although I have my own room in the Tower of Gods, this place seems more interesting right now.” Merlin found a stool and sat down. “Anna, you too…”

Look around.

"No need, I don't care." Anna kept her eyes hidden in her hood, leaning against the wall alone.

Mashu walked to the door and looked inside.

"It seems we need a curtain at the entrance."

“Then let’s start preparing now,” Gudako said immediately.

Then, Mash took out her cross shield and placed it on the ground.

"The round table... unfold!"

Points of light lit up on the shield, rotating to form a magic circle.

"Spirit Line Coordinates, Anchor!"

The next moment, a projection of a face appeared in everyone's sight.

"Um... is the image clear enough?"

“Of course, even the doctor’s nostrils are clearly visible!” Gudako said.

“…No, no, where are you looking?” Roman immediately turned his face away and sat down in the chair. “But it’s great, because the proof of Uruk’s existence is so easy, we can talk face to face like this.”

At this moment, Leonardo da Vinci's face also appeared in the image.
