I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

【■■■■——】

【■■！ ■■■！ ！ 】

【■……■■■■！】

A strange and chaotic sound reverberated, noisy and distorted.

Amidst the shattered ruins of the city, countless deformed monsters are overlapping and merging with each other.

Limbs connected, swollen lumps of flesh sprouted, wriggling and growing, accompanied by the pitiful cries of infants, mixed with indescribable roars of madness, rising and falling in waves.

Finally, the monsters coalesced into a fixed form: a door, a living, writhing door made of flesh and blood.

An even more terrifying and eerie aura was emanating from this writhing door, growing ever deeper and clearer as it drew ever closer.

"Is it finally going to appear, the primordial mother?"

Amidst the ruins, Gilgamesh, clad in golden robes, gazed at the massive, writhing door from afar, his crimson eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, revealing no emotion.

"What is that?"

Having already asked Logan to take Shirou Emiya and Illya away, Shiki, standing not far from Gilgamesh, frowned and looked with some disgust at the scene in the distance that challenged human physiological adaptability.

"That is Tiamat, the primordial mother, the original goddess who created all things."

Rarely, Gilgamesh explained in a calm tone, rather than being too lazy to speak.

"However, after the world order stabilized, she, as the 'mother,' was abandoned and exiled to the endless imaginary world. Because if she, who is constantly creating, were to return to the world, she would inevitably destroy our current world and reshape the planet once again."

"However, she is now returning once again."

"With the sacrifice of a city's flesh and blood, the key replenishment of magic accumulated over countless years and the mystery of the Holy Grail, and now that the conditions for the ritual have been met, 'Mother' is about to return."

Accompanying Gilgamesh's words was an increasingly intense and terrifying tremor of the earth, a terrifying earthquake of unprecedented scale, which struck with a deafening roar at that moment.

Rumble rumble—

The earth was being torn apart.

Rumble rumble—

Countless destroyed buildings and roads collapsed and sank into the ground.

As if the end of the world had arrived, everything began to collapse irrevocably, and in the midst of this collapsing world, a voice finally rang out from within that enormous door.

【Aaaaaaa——————】

The voice was clear and high-pitched, seemingly the cry of a woman, but amplified countless times, it was deafening and unbearable.

Li Cheng covered his ears and shrank his eyes as he looked at the huge shadow peeking out from the doorway.

"Can't we just destroy that door?"

Ji Wen said with a frown.

"Haha, if you have that kind of awareness, you can go ahead and try, you bastard. Destroying the gate of the Primordial Mother's descent is something that even I, the king, cannot do, let alone those trash who have only made a name for themselves among the transcendents."

Gilgamesh revealed a wicked smile.

"Moreover, if we really destroy this door, the other beast is not something we can fight against. You know, there are two 'beasts' in this city right now."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the other side of the shattered city, where the enormous and graceful figure of a woman stood firm amidst the onslaught of countless twisted monsters.

Sesshouin Kiara.

That enormous figure was undoubtedly Sesshouin Kiara, who had clashed with everyone, especially with the sixth group led by Li Cheng. This once wanted Transcendent was now an indescribable being.

Despite the vast distance between them, just a brief glance was enough to cause everyone to subconsciously feel a sense of disorientation, a phenomenon even those who had surpassed the limits of their abilities were not immune to. Li Cheng groaned, his eyes tightly shut, barely managing to suppress the chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind.

Oh my, is that woman so alluring?

Zi's ​​teasing voice echoed in Li Cheng's mind.

"How could that be? This type isn't my cup of tea."

While silently replying to Zi, Li Cheng avoided looking in that direction.

"And what about that female giant?"

Shiki didn't seem to suffer any mental shock, but she glanced at Sesshouin and pursed her lips, looking quite displeased. The continuous appearance of various inexplicable monsters probably gave her a sense of unease.

"Sesshouin Kiara, speaking of which, that bastard had a direct confrontation with your team once, although she was far less powerful than she is now back then."

Gilgamesh said with a cold laugh.

"But now she has become the embodiment of all human desire, a true beast in the name of love. Like her original mother, she also possesses unparalleled power."

As the proudest and first hero-king, Gilgamesh frankly admitted that the two "beasts" appearing in the city were beyond his ability to fight. This shocked those around him, forcing them to realize that the situation had truly reached a critical juncture.

However, Shiki frowned deeply and looked at Gilgamesh rather rudely.

"Stop with the nonsense. Since you're standing here so casually, you must have something on your mind. Just say it and stop beating around the bush!"

They actually showed disrespect to those who surpassed them.

Ji Wen, his face grim, wanted to reprimand Shi, but Gilgamesh waved his hand and then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahahaha, isn't this obvious? Since there are two wild beasts in the arena, turning it into a fighting arena and letting them fight each other is the only logical thing to do."

As he spoke, Gilgamesh's smile grew increasingly sinister.

"As human beings, it is only natural to use our minds to find ways to solve problems. However, this arena is not sturdy enough and needs to be further reinforced."

"Otherwise, before the beasts have even determined a winner, the fence will collapse and crush the audience, which would be far too boring. This world, even if it is wild, is protected by me, and there is no reason for it to be destroyed for such a trivial reason."

As he spoke, Gilgamesh's crimson eyes swept over everyone present.

Gilgamesh's gaze lingered on Li Cheng for a long time, until a cold snort echoed in Li Cheng's mind. Only then did the golden-haired man show a satisfied expression and turn his attention to the others.

"Therefore, you must not mess up the task I am about to assign you."

"The fate of this world now rests on your shoulders. Be grateful, you bastards, for you now possess the glory to save the world and fight against the gods."

Chapter 25, Section 383: Partners of Justice

Li Cheng was moving quickly through the shattered city.

He wasn't moving forward alone; a petite figure was being held in his arms, sitting calmly in Li Cheng's lap.

"Hmph, what an rude man, treating us like subordinates."

The child-like Zi twirled her long golden hair with her fingers and casually spoke in a slightly dissatisfied voice, though her face showed no displeasure whatsoever.

"That king certainly had that kind of personality."

Li Cheng smiled and spoke in a seemingly relaxed manner, but his eyes still held a serious expression.

Just minutes ago, King Gilgamesh devised a plan for the upcoming battle.

Li Cheng and Zi were responsible for, or more precisely, Zi alone was responsible for, finding the center point of the large barrier surrounding the city and reinforcing the entire formation.

A city-level protective array might be able to temporarily halt Sesshouin Kiara's actions, but it would only be a temporary hindrance.

However, if the true monster inside the gate, the creator goddess Tiamat, were to appear, this level of formation would be torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, the formation must be altered and reinforced, and not just with simple repairs, but with a qualitative change, resulting in a significant improvement in its sturdiness. And among those present, only Zi was capable of doing this.

Even with Zi's power, they could only barely allow Zhen to hold out a little longer in this kind of battle beyond the level of Zi, but for everyone right now, time is indeed life.

We're almost there.

Purple's gaze fell upon a certain spot in the shattered city.

"There's a rather strong smell of blood here. It seems this place has been quite damaged."

From afar, Li Cheng could smell the stench of blood wafting from near the center of the formation, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"I wonder what kind of enemies we will encounter."

He muttered to himself.

"No need to guess, because the enemy has already arrived."

Zi, who was in his arms, suddenly looked up and said with a hint of teasing in her voice.

The next second, a sense of crisis descended upon Li Cheng almost instantly. He stopped without hesitation, turned around abruptly, and the spot where he had been standing was immediately engulfed by intense flames. The explosive magic destroyed everything within a range of ten or twenty meters, and rubble swept up like rain.

"And, he's an old acquaintance of yours."

The laughter in Zi's voice became increasingly obvious.

"This power... Nameless, is it you?"

Looking at the still-burning magical flames, Li Cheng raised his head and saw a dark-skinned man standing atop a dilapidated building.

Emiya Mumei, how did he become like this?

With his dark skin, fierce and utterly devoid of gentleness, and his twin swords transformed into dual pistols with blades, his dark and filthy aura exuded malice.

"Don't compare the past me with the present me, Mr. Li Cheng."

The dark-skinned man grinned.

"If you're expecting that person, then I'm really sorry, because he and I are completely different people now."

As he spoke, the man pointed the gun at Li Cheng once again.

"Anyone who poses a threat, no matter who they are, must be destroyed. This is the principle of humanity, and it is what I must do and can never stop doing."

Bang bang bang bang bang——

Gunshots rang out continuously. Li Cheng's figure flickered and dodged back and forth in the flames of the explosion. Suddenly, the dark-skinned man rushed in from the flames, and the pistol with a sharp blade swung down, almost slicing into Li Cheng's nose.

"Has your mind been bewitched by something?"

Li Cheng frowned and quickly retreated to avoid the opponent's attack.

"Purple! Please!"

Instead of launching an attack rashly, Li Cheng shouted.

"Oh my, so you've chosen to rely on my strength without hesitation at this time. I'm really pleased with your idea~"
