A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

"It seems you've acquired some impressive magical power. Who sent you here, the Three Goddesses?" Gilgamesh raised his hand, revealing an axe-shaped Noble Phantasm.

"Shut up!" Kingu's figure suddenly vanished from his spot, transforming into a blur as he charged towards Gilgamesh, his hands crackling with lightning.

Mesh blocked the intersection of his axe-shaped Noble Phantasm.

In an instant, blinding blue lightning spread out in all directions.

"I am the strongest creation on this earth!"

Kingu roared angrily, "A half-baked product like you is completely unnecessary! Foolish King Uruk, my mother's enemy, I will kill you!"

The instant they stepped back, Kingu raised his hand, and hundreds of chains surged forth, shooting straight at Gilgamesh!

"Hmph!" Gilgamesh produced an open clay tablet in his hand, and hundreds of golden Noble Phantasms shot out rapidly from the sky above!

Gilgamesh's "Chains of Heaven" collided with numerous Noble Phantasms, and he swung his axe-shaped Noble Phantasm to deflect the chains that were close to him. However, there were too many chains, and he was unable to dodge them all, and his ankle was entangled by the chains.

"Damn it!" Gilgamesh, who already possessed extremely high divinity, moved his legs, only to find that the more he struggled, the tighter the chains became, making it impossible for him to break free.

"Die!" Kingu roared, and with a sudden swing of his right hand, countless chains rushed towards Gilgamesh!

boom----!

"King Gilgamesh!" Gudako and Mashu exclaimed upon witnessing the perilous scene.

The sandstorm that suddenly erupted temporarily obscured everyone's view, but after the sandstorm dissipated, Gilgamesh stood unharmed beside several huge craters.

Upon seeing this scene, Jin Gu's pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Damn it... Just you wait!"

After making those harsh words, Jingu immediately took to the sky and quickly flew away from the beach.

At that moment, Roman breathed a sigh of relief from the communicator on Gudako and Mashu's wrists.

“Enkidu retreated north of Uruk, and then he became untraceable.”

Leonardo da Vinci's voice also came out.

"Although we don't know why he retreated, we can rest assured for now."

"That's great..." Gudako breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Gilgamesh walked over.

"He's stronger than me. If it weren't for that sudden accident, I probably would have died at his hands."

"Even you, King Gilgamesh, are no match for him?" Gudako asked in surprise.

“Yes, after all, his weapon was specifically designed to target me,” Gilgamesh sighed, as if recalling something.

Gilgamesh is currently unable to use "Ea".

In order to protect Uruk, he sealed many of his Noble Phantasms and "Ea" in exchange for a large amount of magical power.

“Never mind, let’s go back first,” Gilgamesh said immediately.

……

The next morning, Shirou and his group headed to the Divine Tower.

"Your next task is to find the Tablets of Destiny," Gilgamesh said, seated on his throne.

"The Destiny Tablet? Have you remembered where you put the tablet?" Gudako asked.

“Those are clay tablets that I recorded in the city of Kusa on my way back to Uruk from the underworld,” Gilgamesh recalled.

"So it's not in the western forest at all. Merlin's search was for nothing," Mashu complained.

Siduri, who was holding a clay board in her hand, spoke.

"Kusa City is now within the sphere of influence of the goddess Ishtar."

“Ishtar…” Shirou raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I'll be fighting with that woman sooner or later anyway, so this saves me a lot of trouble."

Gilgamesh said, "Then, this task is entrusted to you."

"Yes!" Gudako and Mashu immediately replied.

Chapter Twenty-Two: When in doubt, act cute

While preparing supplies for the journey to Kusa City, Merlin recounted information about Kusa City.

"Kusa City was destroyed without warning after the appearance of the 'Three Goddess Alliance'."

"Destroyed?" Gudako exclaimed.

“Yes, one day, communication with Kusa City was suddenly cut off. When Leonidas led his team to the scene, all they found was deathly silence.” Merlin’s expression turned serious. “There was no blood, no trace of struggle. All the citizens seemed to be asleep, all dead. The entire city was like that.”

"Why did this happen?" Gudako asked.

"The reason is still unclear, but since that day, Kusa City has been regarded as a cursed place, a desolate land that no one dares to approach," Merlin replied.

After preparing the supplies, the four returned to their accommodation.

At this moment, Ushiwakamaru and Leonidas I are resting here.

"Oh, you're back. What did King Gilgamesh say to you?" Ushiwakamaru asked when he saw Gudako and Mashu carrying boxes in their arms.

"Our next task is to find the Tablets of Destiny," Gudako replied.

"The reward is actually 20 priestess silver coins!" Mash said.

Upon hearing Mashu's voice, Anna immediately looked up, somewhat surprised.

"Twenty coins?! With that much money, we could fill the entire embassy with flowers!" Anna said excitedly. "I'll go prepare them right away, please wait a moment!"

Then, he jogged upstairs to his room.

"He's such an impatient person," Merlin remarked like a father.

Sitting at the table, Ushiwakamaru spoke with some longing.

"A mission that allows you to travel on the side, I'm so envious, although I'd love to go along too..."

“No, Lord Ushiwakamaru, we must…” Musashibo Benkei hurriedly began, but was interrupted by Ushiwakamaru.

“There’s no need to tell everyone,” Ushiwakamaru continued, looking at the crowd. “We have to get back to the North Wall; there are some things to take care of there…”

"I see. Actually, I also hoped to travel with you guys once," Mashu said with some regret.

"Haha, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I hope Orihara can join us then~" Ushiwakamaru said, looking at Shirou.

Ever since she learned that Shirou and Gudako shared the same surname, she began to address them by their given names separately.

"We'll see when the time comes," Shirou replied.

"Um..." Ushiwakamaru hesitated for a moment before speaking again, wanting to say something to Shirou.

"I'm ready!"

Anna's voice suddenly came from above the stairs.

Anna, who had already packed her bags, appeared before everyone.

When everyone saw her carrying luggage that was far too large for her small frame, they burst into laughter, and the living room was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

……

The next morning, the four of them set off for Kusa City as the sun set.

The weather was exceptionally good today, and the vast golden wheat fields we passed along the way gave us the feeling of being immersed in a golden ocean.

The breeze was incredibly cool, which lifted my spirits considerably.

"Great! This time I don't have to endure the bugs and the sweltering jungle!" Merlin ran through the wheat field with his staff in hand, like a wild horse let loose.

At noon, they finally entered Ishtar's territory.

At this moment, everyone discovered that large areas of the land had become pitted and uneven, as if it had been bombarded by artillery shells, a truly horrific sight.

"Whoa... What happened here? How did it become like this..." Gudako stared wide-eyed at the scene.

"It must have been Ishtar who did it," Shirou recalled the image of the goddess firing a beam of light from her finger.

"Look over there!" Mash suddenly pointed in a direction.

Inside the pit, a middle-aged man and a child led several sheep up. It seems that this place used to be a pasture, but now even the grass has been destroyed, and there are huge pits everywhere, making it impossible to graze sheep.

"Um..." Gudako stepped forward and asked the two people struggling to pull the sheep, "Do you need any help?"

"Thank you so much!" the middle-aged man said gratefully.

After helping the two men pull the sheep out of the pit, the middle-aged man sat down on a rock to rest for a while.

"Why did this place become like this?" Seizing the opportunity, Gudako asked the middle-aged man.

"Sigh, it's a natural disaster." The middle-aged man helplessly wiped the sweat from his face.

"A natural disaster?" Mashu looked at the middle-aged man with suspicion. "Could it really be the goddess Ishtar?"

"Yes, it's the goddess Ishtar." The middle-aged man sighed. "Alas... this year's goddess has really gone too far. The monsters and the land have been destroyed like this."

"And they even ransacked our house, taking all the jewels, and said they'd just let you go. Luckily, you're alright." The middle-aged man put on a mask of pain whenever he mentioned the past.

"As expected of that guy." Shirou raised an eyebrow.

After merging with Rin, this goddess not only inherited Rin's standard tsundere personality, but also her love for gemstones.

"Well then, Uncle, we'll be going now!" Gudako waved goodbye to the middle-aged man.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you all. Have a nice day." The middle-aged man smiled and waved back at them.

In the afternoon, the group arrived in Kusa City.

The city was like a model, devoid of any life. There was no fire, no smoke, no noise, nothing but the whistling of the wind through the houses and alleys.

Merlin addressed the crowd.

"Alright, although this city isn't big, the area to find the target mud tablet is still quite large. Fortunately, the monsters won't enter Kusa City, so let's split up and search for now."

“Um, I am your Servant, and I cannot leave my Master…” Mash looked at Gudako.

“It’s alright, Mashu. If we take too long, it will be harder to find it after dark.”

Gudako smiled and said, "Besides, Fou is with me, so it's okay."
