In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

This storm, like divine punishment, swept them into the abyss with overwhelming force. Wherever the storm passed, the terrifying monsters were either instantly torn to shreds, their blood mist exploding in the air; or swept away by the powerful air currents, like kites with broken strings, they were carried off the steep mountain peaks. Under the ravages of the storm, their cries were instantly swallowed by the wind, while the refugees on the mountainside finally escaped the shadow of death.

As the storm gradually subsided, dark red lightning ripped through the sky, and then a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the center of the storm. The figure was shrouded in darkness, radiating an innate noble aura. Every step she took exuded boundless power; she was like a deity from ancient legends, descending to earth with the power to rule over all things. Those who witnessed this scene knelt down, understanding that a true miracle had occurred.

Moreover, beside her was a petite young female attendant dressed in strange clothes, with a pair of horns on her head and long golden hair. She was clearly an ordinary human being.

The refugees naturally assumed that the figure that appeared was the goddess of heaven—Ishtar.

Although the other's appearance differs from that of the legendary being, the only deity residing on Mount Ebif is Ishtar.

They knelt down in gratitude and offered all their valuables, hoping to move the goddess who loved wealth and avoid being punished.

However, this time, the silver-haired goddess who came to their aid did not accept their money as the legend had suggested, and instead revealed her name to them.

She is not some goddess of the heavens, but the goddess of storms and the wild hunt; just call her the Queen of the Storms.

Moreover, after learning about the plight of these refugees, the other party did not drive them away. Instead, they generously used their dark red divine spear to carve out many caves in the mountain to house these people. Afterwards, a dark red tower of the end appeared on the summit of Mount Ebif, covering the entire mountain with a light curtain.

After that, the refugees were never attacked by monsters again. Any monster that tried to approach the mountain was burned to ashes by the crimson lightning.

Although they had never heard of a Storm Goddess in Mesopotamia, and the only god who controlled the wind was Enlil, this person was clearly not that one, but in any case, this Storm Goddess was a genuine goddess who had protected everyone, so the surviving refugees offered their most sincere faith and blessings.

What Ishtar?

What is the point of worshipping a goddess who always reaps everyone's wealth and never answers prayers at her own doorstep?

We're not familiar with each other, really not familiar.

They are now all followers of the Storm Goddess.

In their eyes, the majestic and beautiful Storm Goddess was clearly more suited to the role of the mistress of the heavens than Ishtar.

at the same time--

"Um, Your Majesty... is this kind of force acceptable?"

On Mount Aibif, in that magnificent golden temple.

The blonde oni girl was fawningly massaging the back of the Black Gunner, who was sitting on the throne, looking at the number of refugees with a melancholy expression, and at the location of Uruk.

"Hmm, it's alright, you can go now..."

Black Spear Dazai waved his hand impatiently, dismissing the idle Ibaraki-dōji beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go down now."

Hearing that he was no longer needed, Ibaraki-dōji hurriedly nodded, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

Honestly, she never imagined she would feel so inferior.

Even the hero who summoned her to fight ignored her and ran away halfway through.

She would never work for humans. As a ghost, one should be free and unrestrained. What kind of ghost is a ghost if it is bound by constraints?

She did have that thought when she encountered Black Gunner.

Just as she escaped Uruk, she randomly found a mountain that looked good in the wilderness, and there happened to be a magnificent temple on the mountain, which was undoubtedly the most suitable place for her to stay.

However, just as he was about to begin his carefree adventure, a new magical power appeared, so the curious Ibaraki-dōji decided to investigate it.

Perhaps the temple's master has returned, and she just happened to go out to take a look.

Moreover, she wasn't entirely without a sense of crisis, but as the leader of the demons of Mount Ooe, how could she be easily afraid?

Of course I'll try getting beaten up!

Or, for Ibaraki-doji, if he really can't win, he can just run away!

Even when Minamoto no Yorimitsu was fighting the demon of Mount Oe, he was able to survive.

Ibaraki-dōji refused to believe that anyone could subdue her in an instant!

With such confidence, the ghost swaggered out arrogantly.

The next moment, she was subdued by Black Gunner's Storm Lance, which had teleported her there, and she was completely powerless to resist.

At first, she didn't realize what was going on and still looked unconvinced, thinking that she had performed poorly, so she frantically shouted at Black Gunner, demanding a rematch.

Then, when she saw Black Lancer easily shatter hundreds of demonic beasts with a single, jet-black holy spear, Ibaraki-Douji suddenly realized that she had spoken a little too loudly.

Although the proud Oni race would never submit to others, then again...

She submitted to a god! To the strong!! The demon race also acknowledges the strong!! This guy is stronger than Shuten-dōji, so he definitely deserves to be their leader!!

So she became Black Gun's henchman, fawning over him and looking for an opportunity to regain her freedom.

Black Gun didn't comment on this, after all, it was this guy who rushed up and made the first move.

The reason she didn't kill Ibaraki-dōji was because she felt it was normal to be attacked after trespassing on someone else's property. Now that she had occupied someone else's mountain to house refugees, it wouldn't be right to kill the owner.

And so, they both came to believe that the other was the master of Mount Ebif, and the misunderstanding continued indefinitely.

Originally, Black Gun had no intention of taking over this mountain. For her, finding her lost companions was more important than becoming a mountain king or some kind of boss.

However, upon seeing the refugees who had been chased by monsters and fled in a sorry state, she felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility and could not bear to ignore human deaths. So she decided to take over the place as her temporary base and raise the Tower of the End to protect these people.

This tower, which was used to select and destroy humanity in the Sixth Singularity, has somehow become a tower that protects humanity here. Its fate is truly unpredictable.

However, while the Tower of the End can protect these humans from harm, it cannot provide them with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. She does not possess the Holy Grail and cannot create things out of thin air.

And the temple beneath her feet annoyed her even more.

In this vast space, there is nothing but gold and gems, and not a single living necessities. It is completely useless. The refugees are now eating only the remaining pieces of monster meat that were broken off at the time.

The people of the Age of Gods are physically robust and can eat magical beasts without any problem, but this can't go on forever. So, we need to consider leading these people to Uruk...

“This is really troublesome, but it’s the only way… After these people have rested for a while, I’ll take them to Uruk.”

Black Gunner covered his forehead and sighed silently. Now that things had come to this, the search for Rowe could only be considered again in Uruk.

I believe that if he were here, he would definitely make the same choice as me.

Just as Black Spear had made up his mind, Ibaraki-dōji, who had just slipped away, suddenly ran back: "Reporting to Your Majesty, a black-haired madman is shouting and yelling in front of the mountain! And he's even bullying those refugees halfway up the mountain!!"

"Are they enemies?"

"Of course! They're definitely coming to attack the fortress!"

"I understand."

Black Gunner picked up the Holy Lance and said, "I'll go take a look."

"Go, go," Ibaraki-dōji urged.

Watching his leader, Black Spear, leave, Ibaraki-dōji couldn't help but smile.

Then she carefully took out a glittering gold cup from her pocket and began to play with it gently.

She found this cup in this palace.

Sensing its immense magical power, tell her that it is undoubtedly a good thing! It should be the omnipotent wish-granting machine from the Servant's memories—the Holy Grail.

Although it's unclear why the white-haired woman didn't look for it after returning—perhaps she was too busy with the refugees to remember—it now belongs to her.

With this, she'll definitely be able to get her revenge.

"You want to be my boss? Bah! I'm going to get my revenge!"

Having confirmed that Black Lancer Artoria had left, Ibaraki-Douji raised the Holy Grail without hesitation, then used its magical power, excitedly proclaiming, "Holy Grail! Quickly transform me into the most powerful demon in the world!!"

As she made her wish, the golden Holy Grail in her hand began to shake violently.

"Ohhhhhh!!"

……

……

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

"Aaaa, Aaaaa! Aaaaaa?"

On the shore, after Lovi helped Tiamat adjust the data and stability of this avatar, the scene before him soon appeared.

"...I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know."

Tiamat, unlike her usual self, asked Rowe something with a serious and stern expression, while Rowe, looking impatient, kept making excuses that he didn't know.

"Aaaa!"

Finally, Lo Wei's perfunctory attitude angered the other party. Tiamat muttered, then reached out and held Lo Wei's face, followed by a rocket headbutt.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—! Your forehead is really hard! I know I was wrong, is that alright?"

Lovi clutched his forehead and hurriedly called for a stop. Although Tiamat's loving rocket headbutt was not malicious, her base stats were too high. Even with the reduced strength level from the second beast, it was no joke. It hurt much more than the Lion King's Holy Lance attack, especially since he couldn't defend against it. After experiencing this kind of maternal love, he quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Aaaa? Aaaaaa? Aaaaaa..."

Tiamat touched his forehead with some pity before asking the same questions again.

Did I ultimately get eliminated by the children?

Are the children better off without me?

What exactly is going on with the monsters outside, and the Jingu that are harming humans?

These are the answers Tiamat wants to know, and also the answers Rowe doesn't want to answer.

Tiamat, placed in the FGO route, was unable to communicate with Kingu from beginning to end, and was also unable to know what was happening outside. When she woke up, she was already in the Second Beast state, that is, in the [Return] state. She could only seal herself with her willpower and could not do more. However, this time...

His arrival and the blood prematurely awakened Tiamat from her slumber, allowing her to witness firsthand what was happening outside.

She saw Kingu, her most loyal and good child, killing humans, and the devastation on this land that had been peaceful before she fell asleep—all of which Tiamat found unacceptable.

That's why she told King Gu her thoughts, asking him to stop killing humans. You are all mother's children, family, and brothers, so you must never kill each other.

She also asked Kingu to help humanity, but Kingu did not give an answer, which made Tiamat very worried.

When Tiamat faced Lovi, after satisfying her curiosity and alleviating her loneliness, she turned her gaze to those humans who fought and struggled to survive. The answer Tiamat most wanted to know was still...

[Have you ever been successfully defeated by your children?]

"..."

Luo Wei was well aware of the answer, but he didn't want to reply.

After all, even he had personally killed Tiamat in the game.

Moreover, at that time, he was just sitting on the other side of the screen, completely unconcerned about Tiamat's feelings. He just thought: "She may be pitiful, but what does it have to do with me?" With this thought, he quickly progressed through the levels, and after everything was over, he also had a feeling that it was finally over. What a pain. It took so long to get these Saint Quartz.
