Forehead.....

Upon hearing this, Genji's expression became somewhat subtle. If he wasn't mistaken, it was true that Ishtar had fallen from the sky that time, but as for fainting... it was either because he kicked her, or because Ereshkigal had taken over her position at that moment.

"I didn't want this either! My beloved Bull is such a sweet pet, it breaks my heart! Waaaaah, where's my bull?!"

Seeing Ishtar clutching her head in frustration, Gilgamesh completely lost his patience. He shut down the mirror's communication function, grabbed a nearby stone slab, and scribbled a few words on it in a flamboyant style. Then he shoved it into Gensou's arms and said:

"Yuanxiang, you go to the monster defense line first, and while you're at it, hang this around that idiot Ishtar's neck. Merlin and I will adjust the plan, and if it's suitable, we should start the battle soon."

"it is good."

Gensou nodded, took the stone tablet, and left. After a swift flight, he appeared on the monster defense line. The moment he landed, he saw Ishtar, who looked just like the leopard-man from a few days ago, lying lifelessly on the skyship. Gensou helplessly flew over and tapped her on the head, then handed her the stone tablet. Ishtar looked closely and saw the words "I am an incompetent goddess" written on it. There was no doubt that it was Gilgamesh's handwriting.

Out of old grudge against that golden shard, Ishtar instinctively grabbed the stone slab to smash it, but after seeing Genji out of the corner of her eye, her lips twitched, she silently sat up, hung the stone slab around her neck, and lowered her head in grievance. To be honest, it was indeed inappropriate for an ally not to tell Genji such an important matter out of pride.

Ishtar's action surprised Genji. Seeing the goddess's frustrated expression, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, saying:

"Is it really impossible to find?"

"Hmm, if the Bull of Heaven were still in Mesopotamia, I would definitely be able to find it. There's definitely something wrong here."

As Ishtar finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, looked up, and stared intently at Genji, saying:

"Hey, can't you conjure things out of thin air? Why don't you try conjuring up the Heavenly Bull?"

"I've never even seen that Bull of the Sky, where am I supposed to conjure it up for you?"

Gensou grumbled at Ishtar, then conjured up a huge and magnificent gemstone necklace and hung it around the neck of the goddess of the heavens. The dangling gemstones perfectly covered the words 'I am an incompetent goddess'.

"The fact that you can admit your mistake so easily shows that I, as your ally, still hold a certain place in your heart."

Under Ishtar's surprised gaze, Gengo smiled and looked at her, saying:

"To be honest, this makes me very happy. After all, I was never surprised that you would abandon me and run away to save your own life before. But now, it seems that I misjudged you. I'm sorry. But since that's the case, as your ally, I can't let you lose face. Here's the necklace for you. I hope you like it."

As he spoke, Genji reached out and patted Ishtar's head with a gentle smile. After he finished speaking, he walked forward to find Merlin and see what battle plans he and Gilgamesh had discussed. At the same time, he couldn't help but wiggle his fingers.

To be honest, he had no lustful intentions. When he first saw Ishtar, Genji thought her legs and hair were very beautiful. But touching her legs would be indecent, and touching her hair would be impossible for this goddess with her haughty demeanor. Now that he had finally found such an opportunity, he naturally couldn't let it go.

The only pity is that her hair quality is hereditary. Otherwise, I would spend a lot of money to get the formula and give it to Nanoha and the other children so that they can become more beautiful in the future. When I, as their older brother, take so many cute little sisters out, I will definitely be very proud.

“Mr. Yuanxiang, you’ve arrived. Perfect timing. I just finished my conversation with Wang.”

Merlin shook his wand, looked at Gensou, and said with a smile:

"You are the key to the plan next. Is there anything you still don't understand? If not, I will begin to tell you about my discoveries over this period."

"Um, what's with that big axe?"

Yuanxiang immediately pointed to the huge hand axe that was being slowly moved over. How should I put it? It felt like if such a huge axe were to come crashing down, this section of the city wall would probably be gone. And the pterosaurs responsible for moving the huge axe were Quetzal Koyatl's.

This pterosaur is no ordinary creature; it is a mythical beast, a divine beast-level fantasy species, that is far more enhanced than the feathered serpent pterosaur that inhabited the Cretaceous period. The feathered serpent pterosaur is also known as the largest flying animal in history. And now, more than a dozen pterosaurs are slowly moving this way under the command of the leopard man, carrying that axe.

“That’s Marduk’s hand axe.”

Merlin patiently explained that in Mesopotamian mythology, Marduk was the guardian god of Babylon and also the national god of Babylonia. Legend has it that he not only defeated "eleven monsters" but also subdued Tiamat, who caused chaos, and became the head of the gods, thus making him a god-level being!

Of course, this god did not come to the battle as a servant. This axe was Gilgamesh's treasure, but for some unknown reason, the King of Uruk placed it in the city of Eridu for safekeeping. Eridu happened to be the place where Quetzalcoatl occupied and built his temple. In addition, since it was a god's weapon, human magic would be deflected. Even with the support of the Greater Grail's magic, Merlin could not move it here. Therefore, he could only use this clumsy method.

The effort to transport it here was absolutely worthwhile, because Marduk had used a hand axe to cut open the throat of the mother goddess Tiamat. In a sense, this was an artifact designed to target the mother goddess, and it was foreseeable that it would be extremely useful in the upcoming battle.

"I never expected there to be such a treasure."

After hearing this, Gensou murmured in surprise. To be honest, the King of Uruk had been sitting in the temple handling affairs all the time, and he had no idea how strong he was.

"Alright, Mr. Gensato, please take a look..."

“Um, Mr. Merlin.”

At this moment, Yuanxiang interrupted Meilin and said apologetically:

“Just call me Yuanxiang, there’s no need for the honorific ‘you’. Your politeness makes me feel awkward. How about we both relax a bit, Meilin?”

"Of course, Yuanxiang, come and look here."

Merlin smiled and waved his wand, and a projection appeared in front of the boy. It was a view of the Indian Ocean, but compared to the last time he saw it, the seawater seemed to have darkened.

“The mother goddess Tiamat possesses the ability to ‘manifest alone’.”

Merlin looked at the scene and explained:

"That is a skill that can appear independently in the present world. Once it appears, it can take seven days to seize the Indian Ocean. After it appears, it will tirelessly give birth to monsters and devour all of humanity. On the contrary, since the mother goddess Tiamat is the ocean, it is impossible for her to go on land. Sweeping away humanity becomes the task of her children, the monsters. There is one thing to note."

The court magician tapped the projected image with his wand and said:

“The Mother Goddess Tiamat cannot leave the ocean, but that doesn’t mean the ‘ocean’ will just stay obediently in the Indian Ocean. Do you see that black shadow? That is the true form of the Mother Goddess’s Sea. Gensou, you should have come into contact with the ‘black mud’ before, and this time you will see the real life-giving Black Mud Sea, something that none of us can easily come into contact with.”

“I understand, but Merlin, do you mean that the sea level in the Indian Ocean is rising?”

Gensato whispered with a grave expression:

"Is it rising quickly?"

"As things stand, it's still within acceptable limits, but we can't wait for the Black Mud Sea to replace the Indian Ocean and raise sea levels."

Merlin answered seriously:

“Once it gets to that point, I have reason to suspect that the Demon Pillar has completed the ‘replacement’ work. If it’s all ‘you’ that rush out, I don’t think we have any chance of winning. I’ve ‘seen’ your battle with ‘your’ own body before. If you really develop, each of ‘you’ will be a monster far beyond the level of ‘gods’. Unless the Human Order sends a Grand rank class, we simply can’t hold on.”

The Grand (Grand) class consists of seven Heroic Spirits who stand at the pinnacle of the seven attributes and will appear to eliminate the great calamities that hinder the continuation of the human world. Both their abilities and legends require them to be of a high standard, standing at the pinnacle of their class. There are multiple candidate Servants, chosen based on the "counter-enemy" to be dealt with in the corresponding era.

When 'grand' appears, it means that the level of danger of this event can no longer be measured by simple 'a, b, c'.

"Then should we be beheaded?"

"Yes, that's right."

Merlin nodded and said:

"Because the Mother Goddess's 'Sole Manifestation' ability also exhibits the characteristic of 'existing in any spacetime,' not only are attacks that create time paradoxes through time travel ineffective against her, but even various instant-death attacks can be canceled. However, this does not mean that the 'you' imitated by the Demon God Pillar also possesses the same resistance. After all, the Demon God Pillar's 'replacement' plan is not yet complete. What we need to do now is to have Miyamoto Musashi use her 'Buddha's Sword' to cut off the 'you' imitation spirit origin from Tiamat's spirit origin. If we succeed, not only will the Demon God Pillar's plan fail, but perhaps even the Mother Goddess's 'Eleven Demonic Beasts' will be unable to reach maturity."

"I understand. Does Miyamoto Musashi know this?"

Gensho nodded, then looked at Merlin and asked, the court magician smiling as he replied:

"She not only knew, she was even looking forward to it."

"Who were the accompanying personnel?"

"You, Li Shuwen, and Senko Muramasa."

Merlin immediately provided the answer; clearly, he and Gilgamesh had reached a consensus beforehand regarding the number of people:

"This is an infiltration mission after all, so it's more convenient to have fewer people. Although Senji Muramasa isn't very good at stealth, he's a 'swordsmith.' Swordsmith and samurai, don't you think that's a good match, Gensou?"

"Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go. Oh, Merlin."

At this moment, Yuanxiang seemed to remember something, and just as he was about to turn around, he turned back and said softly:

"You know that old man with the cane, right? That guy..."

"rest assured."

Merlin gave a mysterious smile and looked at Gensou, saying:

"That person has been keeping a close eye on the situation. Please trust him, Gensou. In this singularity, he will definitely be your greatest asset. He will certainly lend a hand whenever you need it... Hmm?!"

At this point, Merlin's expression suddenly froze. He looked towards Uruk and subconsciously whispered:

"How could this be... Gensou, wait a moment, um... go and talk to Ms. Miyamoto Musashi about the next steps, I'll be right back, don't worry."

After saying that, Merlin used magic to disappear from the spot. To be honest, this made Genji feel very uneasy. He wanted to go back and see, but after thinking about it, he decided to cooperate with Merlin. At least the court magician hadn't messed up so far.

So, Gengo turned and headed towards where Miyamoto Musashi was, but as he approached the corner, he suddenly heard Romani Archaman's words:

"You want to ask about your Demon Eyes... um... to be honest, Miss Miyamoto, because of these eyes, you can now be said to be an anomaly separated from the human body. You are a drifter, an unwanted stranger to the world no matter where you go..."

Romani Archiman paused here, seemingly lost in thought, unsure of what had happened around the corner. After a brief silence, the doctor sighed and said:

"Fine, since you've asked me this more than once, I'll be frank. Although you hope to return to your original world in your current state, that's definitely impossible. Generally speaking, drifters like you, when traveling to other worlds, can return to their original world thanks to the world's restorative power. But the fact that you keep traveling to other worlds can only mean that your original world has been destroyed, or that you have been abandoned and left behind by your original world..."

"doctor!"

"It's okay, Ritsuka, I want to hear it."

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted Romani Archaman, but was immediately stopped by Miyamoto Musashi, who spoke with an unprecedented level of rationality under the influence of Genji:

"Dr. Romani, please continue."

"...Although it is extremely cruel, if this continues, you will have nowhere to go, no one to remember you, and your existence itself will not belong to this world. Miss Musashi, you may become a 'ghost alienated by the world'."

"How could this be...."

Mashu's disapproving whispers came through, but at the same time, Miyamoto Musashi said cheerfully:

"As expected, to be honest, when I realized I could travel between worlds, I felt like I wasn't human anymore. But it doesn't matter, I'm a swordsman anyway. As long as I can reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship before I disappear, that's enough, hahaha!! Um... Gensou-kun, you must have been eavesdropping over there. I didn't even notice when you arrived."

"It's probably because I tried out the 'Circle of Realms'."

Genji turned around, looked at Miyamoto Musashi, and said:

"Merlin asked me to come and discuss with you the matter of severing the spirit origin of the imitation, but I didn't expect to hear this. I'm really sorry. I just didn't expect that our situations would be somewhat similar."

"Similar? Ah...indeed."

Miyamoto Musashi asked instinctively, then realized something and laughed. Indeed, Genji's 'amnesia' might be his own experience in the future. In a sense, he was still his senior.

At this time, Gengo also learned from Mash that after learning that his Noble Phantasm would be the key to defeating the enemy, Miyamoto Musashi began to try to stay in this world as long as possible, so that her Mystic Eyes would not suddenly go out of control and send her to another world when she was needed at the critical moment, which was something she absolutely did not want to see.

Therefore, Miyamoto Musashi sought out Fujimaru Ritsuka and, using Mash's shield as a medium, strengthened the communication network with Chaldea, allowing Chaldea to analyze its own Mystic Eyes. However, they did not expect to get such a result. Although Romani Archaman did not say it, they all understood that Chaldea was currently powerless to help Miyamoto Musashi.

"Musashi, what is this fixed point of swordsmanship you're talking about?"

Suddenly, Gensou brought up a topic completely unrelated to the present, which surprised Romani, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mashu. Miyamoto Musashi immediately and without hesitation said:

"Of course it's 'Voidlessness,' the highest level a swordsman can reach, the ultimate realm. Because of the void, one is invincible. Only swordsmen who have reached the realm of infinity can capture this. Hmph, Gengo, just you wait and see. I, Fujiwara Genshin, the Shinmen Musashi-no-kami, will definitely reach that realm. Before I achieve that, I will absolutely not die, absolutely not... um?!"

Before Miyamoto Musashi could finish speaking, her mouth was covered by Genji and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who said with a headache:

"Musashi, we're about to go on a stealthy assassination mission, don't set a flag here."

"Yeah, yeah, Gensho is right. Even if you're good at surviving, you can't resist the poison of the flag. You shouldn't say that."

Miyamoto Musashi nodded repeatedly, and only then did Genjiro and Fujimaru Ritsuka release her. The female swordsman wiped her mouth and continued to speak with a smile:

"That's true, but I feel like I still have a lot to learn from my current level. Although it feels like I'm just one step away from reaching that level, I feel like this thing is never accurate when applied to cultivation. I think Brother Yuanxiang should understand this very well, hahaha, I still have to work harder!!"

No, no, no, I have absolutely no experience with this. Don't make me sound like some kind of expert...
