Gengo and Fujimaru Ritsuka walked side by side, chatting casually. The conversation mainly revolved around their experience at the simulated singularity. Fujimaru Ritsuka was genuinely curious about how she had performed when she was suddenly thrust into the role. To be honest, Gengo didn't remember that part very clearly either, so he could only slowly recount what he still remembered to these two curious girls.
"What!?"
Inside the temple, Gilgamesh, upon hearing the news of Miyamoto Musashi's departure, raised an eyebrow in surprise and said softly:
"Didn't expect this to happen? Oh well, since you've left, then leave. There's nothing to worry about. I already know. You three should go back and rest. Take every last breath you can while Merlin has bought us time. Once Mother Goddess Tiamat begins her actions, there won't be any chance for you to rest."
"Your Majesty, there's something I've always forgotten to ask you."
At this moment, Gensou stepped forward, looked at Gilgamesh, and asked:
"Although the spirit origins of the replicas have been severed, the spirit origins of Achilles and Vlad III are still in the Sea of Life, which is undoubtedly a hidden danger..."
"What? Didn't you tell him?"
Gilgamesh suddenly interrupted Genji, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and after seeing the Chaldea Master's embarrassed smile, gave a light snort, then turned his gaze back to Genji and explained:
"Don't think that while you're busy, we're also idle. You've destroyed the spirit core of that fake, and we've driven away those two unfortunate souls who were unfortunately corrupted. You don't need to worry about them suddenly appearing and attacking us in the upcoming battle. Alright, get out of here. I'm swamped with work right now!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be in such a hurry."
Genji waved his hand helplessly, then used 'luna' to create a stone slab, placed it on Gilgamesh's table, and said:
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it for a while. I don't know if this body-strengthening method can still be of help now."
"Hmm... Hmph, interesting. I didn't expect you to have such fun ways to exercise."
Gilgamesh glanced at it, nodded, and spoke in an approving tone, but then he placed the stone slab aside and looked at Gensou, saying:
"But who has time to learn such tricks now? Besides, my Uruk soldiers are still capable of fighting even without them. Gensou, I appreciate your kindness. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely visit you and see if I can collect all your treasures into my treasury. Hahahaha..."
After the brainwashing laughter, just like every audience, Genji and his group were ushered out. Looking at the brightly lit shrine, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but whisper:
"To be honest, although the King does seem a bit domineering and doesn't like to listen to advice, he's actually a good person. So why does Emiya give him such a low evaluation?"
"Perhaps he encountered a Gilgamesh who was different from us, just like Artoria when we met him. I don't think King Arthur who had transformed into a dragon to that extent could exist even in history."
Gengo laughed and said, and Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement. Then she didn't say anything more and returned to the house. However, before resting, Gengo took Mashu to find Romani. He planned to give the Ripple to this little eggplant and see if the Qi ability, which could cure illnesses and strengthen the body, could help extend her lifespan.
However, based on his own experience, he was worried that this kind of qigong might actually deplete the child's life force, so he decided to have Chaldea research this method. If they were sure there were no problems, then Mash would be allowed to practice it.
Soon, the results came out, but after Chaldea's research, the effect of this Ripple energy on Mash was negligible. The child's lifespan was still based on the lingering problems caused by the experiment of fusing sub-Servants, which could be said to be engraved in her genes. This Ripple energy might extend Mash's lifespan a little, but it was destined not to last long.
"As long as it works, that's fine."
Genji calmly looked at Mashu and said:
"I'm not afraid of being useless, I'm afraid of not having it when I need it. Come on, let's sharpen our skills at the last minute. Ritsuka, come along too. While I still remember how to practice this qigong, let me teach you first."
And so, after Gensou's instruction, the Chaldea group drifted off to sleep. But in the dead of night, Gensou suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. Just now, while resting, he had a dream, a very warm dream. Although he couldn't see or hear anything, the feeling that brought him so much peace... Although Gensou couldn't remember it, he thought it must have been the feeling of being held warmly in his mother's arms.
After realizing this in his sleep, the dream was no longer so pleasant for Genji. As if in a lucid dream, he gently woke up. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he still remembered the strange person he had dealt with before and the one who dreamed. With this 'pre-emptive' rehearsal, he was able to exit the dream as if he were waking up normally.
This dream, this feeling... is it the mother goddess Tiamat?
Gensou looked at the 'Joker' in his hand with a solemn expression, feeling the surging power within it. He was speechless for a moment. Merlin's deduction at the Monster Defense Line was correct. Some of the 'Joker's' power did remain in the body of the Mother Goddess Tiamat, and through this, it established some kind of connection with him.
I can't fall asleep for a while now; it would be a real sin to delay Merlin's plans because of this.
Yuanxiang got up, drank some water, looked out the window at the brightly lit temple, and slowly walked over. At this time, he still had to report to him in order to avoid any accidents.
And so, the first day passed. In the early morning, Yuanxiang, who was basking in the sun, saw Ishtar returning with a yawn. Just as he was about to go up and greet her, he saw the goddess's eyes suddenly sharpen. At the same time, from a dark corner, a girl who looked exactly like Ishtar, with a neat appearance but unexpectedly exuding the resentment of a miner, slowly walked out. Without a doubt, this was Ereshkigal, who had come to report to Gilgamesh on the progress of the digging.
In an instant, the sisters' eyes sharpened, and a sinister aura of 'gogogogo' began to permeate between them. After all, it was common knowledge that the relationship between the sisters in mythology was quite bad, and Ishtar was even killed by her sister Ereshkigal.
and.....
Seeing that after a tense exchange of glances, the woman suddenly turned her gaze to him, Yuanxiang chose to flee without a word. His grandfather had once said that only a fool would put himself in a woman's battlefield. Let these two goddess sisters fight and make a scene, whatever they want. In any case, Gilgamesh would definitely send someone to mediate in the end.
"You bastard, you actually got away..."
However, to Yuanxiang's surprise, he had just left on the wind and hadn't even caught his breath when Ishtar's slightly resentful voice rang out behind him. The boy turned around in surprise and saw the Heavenly Mistress sitting on the Sky Ship with her cheeks slightly puffed out.
"They're clearly my ally, yet they let me down at such a crucial moment!"
Ishtar, displeased, grabbed Genji's collar, shook him violently, and then tried to drag him back, muttering to herself:
"Today, I'm going to make that stupid woman who's been hiding underground and obsessively arguing admit defeat!"
"Wait a minute."
Genjiro, his face darkening, stopped, grabbed Ishtar by the back of her collar, and pulled her back, looking at her as he said:
"My goddess, at a time like this, please don't cause Gilgamesh any more trouble. He's already died suddenly once. If you get angry again this time, what will you do if you have to keep wearing that 'I am an incompetent goddess' sign?"
"This... I don't think so."
Upon hearing this, Ishtar's imposing manner immediately subsided. She looked at the temple, swallowed hard, and said helplessly in a low voice, "To be honest, after losing the Bull of Heaven, I always felt that I couldn't hold my head up in front of Gilgamesh, and I didn't have much confidence to argue with him."
With that anger released, Ishtar lost all desire to continue arguing with Ereshkigal. Sitting on the celestial ark, her hand supporting her chin, she softly said:
"Ugh... Seriously, why is the final enemy the Mother Goddess? This is just too against the rules."
"What? Have you lost confidence?"
Gensou jumped down as well, sat on the skyboat, tilted his head and looked at Ishtar, saying:
"It's not too late to run away now."
"What nonsense are you spouting! I am Ishtar, the Mistress of Heaven!"
Ishtar instinctively puffed out her chest and began her self-introduction in an arrogant tone, but before she could finish, Genji mischievously whispered:
"He is the creator god of Mesopotamia."
"......"
"Your gods were all born from her."
“,,,,,,,”
"They're about to destroy the world, you know."
"......"
"And...I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Seeing Ishtar silently picking up the gem, preparing to explode at him, Gensou readily admitted defeat. His obedient appearance prevented Ishtar from venting her anger.
"You're really getting less and less cute, you have such an adorable face... huh?!"
Ishtar mumbled something unconsciously, but before she could finish, she suddenly sensed something was off about the atmosphere beside her. She instinctively turned around and saw Genji, whose expression was quite grim, grabbing her shoulder. Ishtar immediately felt a huge "danger" sign appear above her head, but before she could stammer out what Genji was planning to do, he released her, mimicking the goddess's earlier gesture, and said helplessly:
"I just have a small face, don't compliment my face."
"No, isn't this a good thing?"
Ishtar expressed her incomprehension, saying in a confused tone:
"Do you want to be like that Spartan, so ugly that you're afraid to show your face and have to wear a mask every day?"
"First of all, Mr. Leonidas I is not ugly; you just haven't seen him without his helmet."
Gensho explained helplessly:
"Secondly, don't you think Leonidas I's muscles are far more impressive than mine, a small man's size? Let's be honest, no man can resist the allure of muscles."
"........"
The words had barely left his mouth when Yuanxiang felt the ground beneath him suddenly disappear. He then expertly executed a backflip, bracing himself against the wall with one hand, and landed on the ground. He looked at Ishtar, bewildered, not understanding why she had suddenly thrown him off the celestial vessel. He then saw the goddess staring at him with a mixture of disbelief and understanding on her face. Finally, she cautiously probed, "..."
"Could it be... that you like men? Hmm... that's understandable, considering you have a goddess like me, representing beauty and victory, by your side, and you haven't shown the slightest sign of being attracted... Hiss..."
As Ishtar spoke, she seemed to be imagining something, and then moved closer to the side, speaking softly;
"Oh, I see. Well... well, if you like Gilgamesh, I'll still wish you well since we're allies."
"........"
What on earth is going on in your goddess's head?
Gensou, rolling his eyes with a black line on his forehead, watched the goddess who seemed about to escape. In a flash, with a speed Ishtar couldn't even react to, he swept her off the celestial vessel, then leaned her against the wall, lifting her chin with his other hand and whispering in a helpless tone:
"It seems that if you want to prove my innocence, then you'll have to experience it for yourself. Okay, don't resist, after all, you like men too, right?"
"Huh?! No, well, I can understand my charm, but this... short!?"
As Genji drew closer, Ishtar blinked rapidly in a panic, a blush creeping up her cheeks. Her hands pressed against Genji's chest, gripping his shirt, sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening. Just then, Genji suddenly whispered in her ear:
"Thank you for the meal, I'll start eating now."
"Alas!!!!"
Feeling the warm breath of Genji on her ear, Ishtar felt as if a bolt of lightning had instantly shot through her body. The woman couldn't help but scream, shoving Genji away abruptly, hugging herself, shrinking her neck, and shouting at him:
"What are you doing?! Although you're cute, and although you're really good at fighting, but... but..."
"If that's the case, then why did you reject me?"
Seeing that this goddess had finally stepped into his plan, Gensou breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:
"Could it be... that you actually like women? Hmm... I see, that makes sense. Like that love-hate relationship, they seem like they're completely incompatible, but actually they're secretly in love. Oh my, this is really beyond my expectations. Don't worry, Ishtar!"
Gensho straightened his clothes, gave the mistress of heaven a thumbs-up, and said with a smile:
"Where I'm from, there's a high level of acceptance for same-sex relationships, and I'll support you."
"No way, what on earth is going on in your head?!"
Upon hearing this, Ishtar froze on the spot, looking at Genji and unable to help but retort:
"This goddess doesn't seem to like women at all, and besides, your analogy just now was really problematic! You were implying something, no, you were making it clear! Calm down, stop overthinking!"
"No, no, no, Ishtar, you don't need to say anything more."
As Yuanxiang retreated, he waved his hand at Ishtar and said:
"No need to say much, we're allies, I understand, I understand everything, I have faith in you, you're the best."
"you....."
"I understand you, I understand you."
Genji interrupted Gilgamesh's attempt to explain, patted his chest, and finally placed his hand on his heart, speaking in a sincere tone:
"I'll support you, it's okay, it's okay, I'm rooting for you! Keep it up! Oh, right, I remembered I was supposed to have a sparring session with Mr. Li Shuwen. I'm off now, Ishtar, good luck!"
"Wait......"
