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

The moment the voice fell, dozens of chains shot out from the depths of the forest. The next second, Jingu, whose body was still bound by golden chains, fell from the treetops and appeared in front of the two.

"You've finally arrived."

She said that.

"It's an enemy we've seen before!"

Anna's eyes narrowed slightly as she raised her scythe, preparing to attack.

"Wait a minute."

Just as she leaped to attack, Lowe stopped her and stepped between the two.

"You're so slow..."

Jingu looked at him with some displeasure, then flicked her long sleeves. At this moment, the originally large white robe she wore was stained with blood. At the end of the chains, several monster heads pierced by the chains were dragged by her, which looked very creepy. It was precisely because of the smell of blood on her body that Anna noticed her at once.

"I made some arrangements first, and then the Chaldea Master fainted, which caused a delay. I apologize for keeping you waiting. But what is this blood on you...? Are you injured?"

Anna looked at the two people who were mortal enemies the last time they met with a puzzled expression. Why did they look like they were having a casual chat?

"No, I just helped you clear out the magical beasts in the forest. This is all their blood. Since you hadn't arrived yet, I just cleaned it up for you to speed things up."

Jin Gu retrieved the chains and shook her head slightly. Although her tone remained calm and composed, anyone could see the sadness in her eyes.

"Then thank you. Leave the Gorgon situation to us."

For Kingu, although Gorgon was merely an insurance policy he created for Tiamat's awakening, he actually treated Gorgon as a "mother" because of their remarkably similar fates and natures.

Now that Gorgon and Tiamat are at odds, he has no choice but to eliminate her. Kingu's expression is actually a reflection of his self-blame for failing to protect her.

"Then it's up to you... This is all I can do."

Even now, Kingu still cannot bring herself to kill Gorgon, so she does not intend to participate in the upcoming battles and will leave everything to Lovi.

"Ah."

Luo Wei nodded, and Jingu reminded him at that moment, saying...

"By the way, you must be careful. When the Eleventh Son was resurrected, Gorgon's magic power increased greatly, and she also used this power to reinforce the barrier of the Blood Temple. Not only is the defense within it very strong, but she can also escape from it. If you want to kill her, you must destroy this temple."

"You mean to destroy the inherent barrier, right? Don't worry, I've already prepared for that."

After listening to Jingu's words, Luo Wei raised his hand, opened the communicator, and cast the strongest spell that Mel had taught him in the direction of Ur.

"—Artoria, dinner's ready!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the strange incantation from Rowe, Kingu and Anna were slightly taken aback.

-

Meanwhile, on Ur's side, Artoria, who had barely managed to lift Marduk's hand axe with the help of Quetzalcoatl and Melie and was preparing to throw it, suddenly sharpened her eyes when she heard the incantation.

In response, he hurled the enormous hand axe like a meteor, instantly piercing the sky, causing even the feathered serpent god to gasp in surprise.

"That's truly a brilliant throwing technique!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side is the Temple of Blood.

A spinning throwing axe is rapidly approaching.

Here comes the little flying stick!

Chapter 276 I Kill Myself

—Boom!!

Suddenly, a golden meteor streaked across the Mesopotamian plain at incredible speed, hurtling towards the cave of the Blood Temple.

As the golden axe blade collided with the temple dome and the surface barrier, a blinding white light, accompanied by sparks from the explosion, suddenly erupted above the temple.

"What exactly is this...?"

Anna stared in surprise at the enormous hand axe that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Jin Gu immediately recognized the true nature of the hand axe.

"Marduk's hand axe?"

After all, Tiamat was dismembered by this hand axe in mythology, and even Kingu's original body was cut open by this hand axe, so of course she could recognize what this hand axe was.

only--

As Rovina chanted his strange incantation, the enormous Marduk axe descended from the sky, crashing squarely onto the dome of the Blood Temple. The deafening roar shook the entire northern forest, sending plumes of dust billowing into the sky like smoke. The Blood Temple, recently repaired by Gorgon, was clearly breached by this axe, its once-perfect barrier shattered beneath the divine hand.

"This is your plan? I must say, it has truly surprised me in many ways."

Not only Anna, but even Jingu was surprised by Luo Wei's simple and brutal siege method. She originally thought that Luo Wei would use magic to gradually break through the outer shell of the Blood Temple and then break in by countering each move. She did not expect that he would force open the door with such a simple and brutal method.

This truly proves the simple truth: when poor, strike with precision; when rich, unleash overwhelming firepower.

"There's no other way. Compared to going around in circles with Gorgon, this method is the most effective. After all, this is her territory, and Gorgon, who was captured last time, will definitely be more cautious now. So, compared to those plans that are elaborated and considered but have little effect, this simple and direct shortcut, rushing in and capturing her, is the best way."

"That seems to make sense..."

Upon hearing this, Jingu nodded slightly, then looked in the direction from which the axe had come.

Is it Quetzalcoatl?

She immediately thought of someone who could use this axe.

But she remembered that there was a pact between Gorgon and Quetzalcoatl, so...

Is it because of these people that they are willing to suffer punishment?

That's really hard to understand.

Unaware of the truth, Kingu thought the axe was thrown by Quetzalcoatl, but in reality, the thrower was not Quetzalcoatl but Artoria.

Merlin originally intended to trick Quetzalcoatl into throwing his axe, thus resolving the problem and getting revenge for the previous wrestling match he had forced Quetzalcoatl to play. However, his scheme was easily seen through by Artoria, forcing Merlin to act as bait to atone for his mistake. Naturally, Artoria took over the rest of the operation, while Quetzalcoatl assisted but did not participate. This allowed the raid to be completed without anyone being punished.

"Forget it, the road has been cleared now, so let's leave that aside for now. If this larvae still exist—"

As she spoke, Jingu's face once again showed a conflicted expression. Perhaps even now she was still struggling with whether she could still do something for Gorgon, and whether she had a solution other than killing Gorgon.

Unfortunately, Gorgon's hatred cannot be quelled by words or kinship; her anger can even affect Tiamat in the opposite direction.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, that's all. There's almost nothing more I can do here. It's up to you guys to make your move."

Jingu shook his head, then suddenly turned around and left the northern forest as if trying to escape something, disappearing from sight.

“Although I’m still very curious about what’s going on with that guy’s current stance, we can’t linger here any longer. Your mindless, violent breach of the door, which was comparable to Merlin’s, has brought half the magical beasts in the forest toward us. We have to speed things up.”

“I know, and the Gorgons inside must know we’re here now.”

Nodding, the two of them jumped into the hole smashed by the giant axe without any hesitation.

-

Meanwhile, inside the Blood Temple.

Not long ago, Gorgon looked at the monster eggs sitting in the temple, still rapidly growing, and a terrifying smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face. "Grow faster, keep growing, my children, take my wrath and take revenge on humanity!"

She said it with utter hatred.

Gorgon hates humans because they destroyed her life.

In the shadows of distant Greek mythology, Medusa, along with her two sisters, belonged to the lineage of earth goddesses. The three shared powerful divinity and were known to the world as the "Gorgons." Legend has it that they were beings who even the gods trembled before, inspiring countless heroes to follow in their footsteps, attempting to make a name for themselves by conquering monsters.

In reality, the Gorgons, the three goddesses, were ancient indigenous deities of the ancient Greek world, embodying the faith and reverence of the early people, and symbolizing beauty. However, Athena, jealous of their breathtaking beauty, used her divine power to strip the people of their faith and banished them to the Isle of the Unseen. From then on, far removed from the human world, they were gradually shrouded in mystery, their once sacred image distorted and deformed through oral tradition, ultimately becoming terrifying monsters in legends.

But that was still just a rumor; their Earth Mother Goddess remained divine and still possessed a beautiful appearance.

However, the heroes who came to punish them were nothing but lackeys of the gods. They saw themselves and their sister as a trick of Gorgon to bewitch people, and they still harbored malice and murderous intent, wanting to kill them all in order to make a name for themselves.

To protect her two weaker sisters, Medusa, the youngest but also the most talented, was forced to take up arms, wielding a scythe to kill one hero after another who came to fight her.

But amidst endless torment, their last vestige of survival was constantly being taken away by humans. In endless battles and bloody slaughter, Medusa became a demon, a true killer, a madwoman.

She killed her two sisters and devoured their divinity, becoming a true Gorgon, the monster of legend, until she was finally killed by the Greek hero, Perseus.

It is precisely because of this hatred for the gods and for humanity that Gorgon did not hesitate to become the goddess of monsters, intending to destroy the world.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

This is nothing difficult to understand, and it doesn't need any reason. It's just the simplest and purest form of revenge.

Therefore, Jin Gu must have a way to change something.

Having been persecuted by both humans and goddesses, she is now going to make humans suffer as well. Her living space has been taken away, and she has gone mad in endless slaughter, until she is powerless to stop her loved ones from dying in front of her.

however--

Not long ago, she kept recalling the time she spent with her sister, the scene in Uruk where an old woman gave her a garland, and the many children surrounding her. This caused Gorgon pain and a splitting headache, and a terrifying light appeared in her eyes.

"Damn it... It's here again! This feeling has returned. What's wrong with my memories?"

She didn't know when it started, but some things that shouldn't exist, some memories of peace and beauty when she was with humans, and the same kind of feeling of security that was constantly eroding her mind and emotions, and Gorgon knew exactly where this feeling came from.

That was another version of myself, another version that refused to accept hatred, refused to seek revenge with me, and still maintained the image of a goddess.

That guy betrayed everything and became her Gorgon's restraining force, and is now constantly influencing her.

"You traitor! You can't stop me!"

Clutching her hair, Gorgon's crimson pupils churned with a violent killing intent. Her distorted face was almost deformed by extreme rage, and a chilling growl escaped from her clenched teeth. At this moment, she was in extreme pain.

Not long ago, the reason she recklessly stormed into the monster front after Jingu rescued her, wanting to directly break through Uruk and kill her, was because her consciousness, which had been forcibly interfered with by Anna's memories, had already fallen apart and was constantly being affected. Therefore, she had to seize the time to kill Anna and make herself whole again.

"You must die, you absolutely must die! I will never let you go...!!"

Gorgon screamed in agony, her killing intent intensifying as she tried to reject the interference of these memories. She knew she had to kill Anna, and the sooner the better.

The other party was her hated past. Gorgon angrily wanted to question that guy, why did he let go of hatred, his sister's hatred, and their past suffering so easily?

Although they are the same person, Medusa, Anna represents the innocent and beautiful first half of Medusa, while Gorgon represents the drastically changed second half, filled only with revenge and despair. Just as Medusa, as a goddess, never imagined she would become a monster, it is only natural that Gorgon, as a monster, would despise the young version of himself who, as a goddess, possessed the reserve and dignity of a goddess.

Gorgon denies his past self as a goddess, and Ana denies her past self as a monster; the two are irreconcilable.

They must kill each other, otherwise the other will be constantly influenced by the other and forced to assimilate.

She must be killed!

Just as Gorgon was angrily pondering...
