“However, I never expected to encounter the Goddess Alliance. I thought I wouldn’t meet a ‘living’ god this time… The goddess Ishtar seems to possess a ‘spiritual origin’ that is infinitely close to her ‘true form’,” Leonardo da Vinci said, resting his chin on his hand.

"God's power is a mystery that surpasses any magic, and can even be described as an omniscient and omnipotent discovery."

As soon as Leonardo da Vinci uttered this conclusion, Shirou shook his head.

"No, powers are targeted; to say they are omniscient and omnipotent is an exaggeration."

"Huh?" Da Vinci was taken aback, not understanding why Shirou was so certain.

“Although we don’t yet know the exact origins of the ‘enemies’ of this era, we can be certain that the goddess is an opposing force,” Roman said.

"So, regarding future actions..."

Before Roman could finish speaking, two men and a woman suddenly burst into the house.

"Oh my, this is quite an interesting spell."

"You are... Heroic Spirits?" Mash looked at the three of them in surprise.

"Hello~" The woman in the lead smiled and raised her hand to wave.

……

Night had fallen, and the servants brought the dishes to the table.

"cheers!"

Merlin raised his glass, took a sip, and exclaimed with great satisfaction, "I practically live for this glass of wine!"

"Speaking of which..." Mashu looked at them, holding her wine glass.

"I didn't expect that King Gilgamesh had already summoned Servants, more reliable partners indeed."

"Yes~" Gudako's cheeks flushed slightly after taking a sip of sake. "By the way, Merlin, were you also summoned by King Gilgamesh?"

"Yes, I said before that I was summoned by a powerful summoner."

Merlin replied with a smile.

At this moment, Ushiwakamaru sat down next to Shirou.

"It's fate that we met by chance, Lord Orihara, please have another drink." Ushiwakamaru, his cheeks slightly flushed, raised his wine cup and said.

Shirou also picked up his glass and clinked it with the other person's.

The girl's clothing was so revealing that it was almost absurd; Shirou felt that if a strong wind picked up, it would probably be impossible to cover her up.

Of course, perhaps her clothes, like Karna's "Golden Armor," cling tightly to her skin.

"In conclusion, to all of you from Chaldea, we will do our best to lend you a helping hand within our means!"

Ushiwakamaru patted his chest and said.

The already limited amount of fabric nearly exposed her as she moved.

"Thank you!" Gudako said gratefully.

At this moment, Musashibo Benkei, who was sitting on the other side, spoke up.

"Lord Ushiwakamaru, you should drink less."

Merlin, however, intervened at this moment.

"What's the big deal? Leonidas, you should have some too. The ale from this country is really great, a little bit won't hurt, right?"

“No need, I just need to replenish my nutrition.” Leonidas I raised his hand in refusal. “I think I’ll enjoy the wine after we’ve eliminated all the monsters.”

The dining table was quite noisy, but filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Siduri placed the dishes on the table in front of Gudako and Mashu.

"Awaited."

"Wow~" Gudako and Mashu's eyes lit up when they saw the dishes served on the table. "The food from before Christ is truly beyond imagination."

"It smells just like that," Mashu exclaimed excitedly.

Gudako took a bite of the lamb chop and immediately showed a happy expression.

"Mmm~ So tender and juicy, leaving a lingering fragrance in my mouth!"

Siduri simply smiled politely when she heard their compliments.

"So, how's the food in Uruk? Are you enjoying it?"

"Mmm! It tastes amazing!" Gudako and Mashu exclaimed in unison.

"That's good." Siduri was relieved. "In Uruk, ale and sheep are the staple foods for survival."

Food, coupled with people's smiles, makes it even more satisfying; that's the kind of country this is.

Chapter Fifteen: Human Reason Burning Style Goetia

With that, Siduri looked at the crowd and announced.

"In addition, we have prepared butter cake as dessert, which is the most premium dessert here."

When the butter cake was served, Gudako, Mashu, and Anna all couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

Anna carefully took a small piece and put it in her mouth.

"tasty……!"

A light shone in the girl's eyes.

Suddenly, Leonidas I on the other side kicked the stool away, stood up with a flushed face, and shouted loudly while gesturing wildly.

"Soldiers are all mathematicians! After about two hours of fighting, they must take a 15-minute nap!"

Upon seeing this, Siduri exclaimed in surprise, "Who on earth poured ale for General Leonidas I?!"

Merlin, holding his wine glass, watched this amusing scene with a grin.

"Well, who knows? But this is good medicine for him." Ushiwakamaru laughed. "After all, he didn't get enough rest as he claimed."

"That's true! Those young soldiers were outrageous! Among the monster horde, only I, Leonidas, could remain decisive and clear-headed!!"

Leonidas I shouted, then collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep, infantile sleep.

After a hearty meal and drinks, everyone gathered together.

"So, is Enkidu really dead as rumored?" Gudako asked first.

“Yes.” Siduri nodded.

"The king watched him die and buried his body in the underworld. I have never seen anyone as beautiful and sorrowful as him. Although he was a puppet made by the gods, he had his heart shattered along with it after he obtained it."

"She obtained a heart, but in the end, even that heart was shattered..." Mashu murmured.

"Does King Gilgamesh know about Enkidu?" Gudako asked again. "He not only impersonated his deceased friend, but also became his enemy."

Merlin smiled upon hearing this.

"Of course I know. Although they haven't met yet, his reaction was extremely indifferent."

Siduri nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Wang's reaction didn't seem like he was worried about us."

At this moment, Shirou spoke up.

"The true identity of that Enkidu is a child created by Tiamat, a weapon born based on the body of the clay doll Enkidu created by the gods, and can be regarded as the successor model of Enkidu. He was resurrected by the 'Demon King' Goetia using the power of the Holy Grail and transferred into Enkidu's body, which was originally dead."

The crowd fell silent.

“‘Demon King’ Goetia…” Gudako’s expression turned serious upon hearing this name.

Merlin then stood up.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about these things tomorrow. Let's get some rest today. Look, Anna is already asleep."

Everyone's gaze turned to the table as Merlin spoke, where the purple-haired girl was fast asleep, her head resting on the table.

Between the faint snores, the girl's murmured words could be heard.

"Merlin actually monopolized the corner room by himself, how despicable! Let's just kill him..."

Upon hearing this, Merlin gave an awkward but impolite smile.

While everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Shirou went up to the roof and gazed longingly at the distant mountains under the moonlight.

"Will Goetia... really be the final enemy...?"

Goetia is the collective of seventy-two demons, not King Solomon.

Goetia's goal is to become the only being on this planet.

Knowing that humanity was beyond redemption and ugly, Solomon did not choose to correct it and ultimately accepted death.

After King Solomon's death, the seventy-two demons sealed inside his body developed independent thoughts, claiming that they were Solomon (therefore, from their perspective, they were the Magic King Solomon), and began to promote the energy transformation of all mankind.

However, his way of life puts him in a dilemma.

Although they assert that humans have no value, they, as demon gods, cannot exist without being enslaved by humans.

Despite being beings from a higher dimension, they felt deeply ashamed to be relegated to the status of humanity, the sole and greatest 'waste' of the universe.

Unwilling to accept this contradiction and dishonesty, Goetia initiated a self-transformation.

That is to redefine the purpose of serving mankind, to absolutely prove that one is the highest being on this planet, to reach the extreme that even Solomon could not reach, that is, to begin the great work of becoming a god.

"All humans must be killed! They must be killed! They must be burned! Not a single human can be left alive on the surface of this planet!"

Goetia sent the demon gods into the future and introduced several breaking points into the course of human history, causing it to collapse.

Despite the complete annihilation of humanity

That was his goal, but it was at most a means rather than an end.

Goetia's goal was to "reach the extreme".

He no longer has any interest in humanity or the future.

What he seeks is to rewind 46 billion years before life was born on this planet, to personally experience the moment when the "celestial body" was born in this realm, and to possess all the energy of that time.

In other words, it means making yourself a "new celestial body" and creating a new world without death.

However, even Goetia was still unable to travel on such a large scale.
