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

Then, Luo Wei opened his palm and manipulated it again. The golden beam of light seemed to come alive, surging again. Finally, under his control, it turned and, like a dazzling whip, swept across the surrounding monsters from the side, killing them all.

The light receded, and the view became much clearer. Just as Luo Wei was about to continue the fight, an explosion also erupted from the Blood Temple behind him.

Looking back, Luo Wei saw two enormous female figures appear on the dome of the Blood Temple, which had been cleaved open by the divine axe.

Both of them had human bodies and snake bodies, with wings on their backs.

Their wings flapped behind them, creating a hurricane-like force that lifted their massive bodies, and they began to fight in the air.

They were Anna and Gorgon.

"..."

Luo Wei withdrew his gaze and continued slaughtering the magical beasts.

-

In the sky.

Gorgon glared angrily at Anna, hissing as his countless snake-like hairs lunged at her. Anna, not to be outdone, unleashed her own purple hair, which transformed into countless snake-like strands and lashed out at him.

In the instant of the clash, countless venomous snakes, tearing at each other, formed a purple sea of ​​snakes. They attacked each other, and the terrifying biting force and destructive power caused a large number of venomous snake remains to fall every second.

Neither of them could do anything about the other.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gorgon immediately used the Petrify Eye, and Anna also used the Petrify Eye to resist, and their energies canceled each other out again.

Gorgon threw another punch, and this time, because of their similar size, Anna knocked her down with one punch as well.

The two punched each other with a "thud!" Then their wings unfurled, and they were locked in a stalemate in mid-air once again, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Upon witnessing this scene, Gorgon roared in fury.

"hateful!!"

The ant, which she thought she could easily devour, actually had such tricks up its sleeve, transforming into the same posture and possessing the same power, making it impossible for her to break through its defenses. This enraged Gorgon even more, who was already insane.

Seeing Anna in her white serpent form surprised Rowe, as Anna had hidden it so well. Neither he, Merlin, nor Merlin had discovered this trump card until now. Although he remembered that Anna had indeed used the white serpent form to fight Tiamat in the original story, Rowe thought that was after she synchronized with Gorgon. He didn't expect that she could transform into it on her own.

But this also illustrates one thing—

Anna's relationship with the Gorgon is far more complex than one might imagine; it's not simply a matter of childhood and future. Their mutual interference leads Anna to become a Gorgon as well, and she willingly and openly accepts this.

However, this incident only fueled Gorgon's anger.

That guy, even though he was also a Gorgon, and when I was influenced by her, she clearly accepted my memories, but she stood on the side of humans, playing with them and helping them.

This is a complete and utter betrayal! It is a betrayal of God, a betrayal of yourself, and a betrayal of your sisters!

Unforgivable.

This is the only thing that absolutely cannot be forgiven!!

Gorgon roared in fury, her eyes shining even brighter, and more and more purple beams of light swept towards Anna like a storm, but Anna responded with the same attack as always.

In an instant, thousands of purple lights bloomed in the sky. The battle between the two could be described as gods fighting gods. The roaring sparks and explosions painted a breathtaking battle in the sky.

"You can't beat me, we're the same person."

Anna said to her calmly.

"Foolish! I will never acknowledge you as a traitor! I am blessed by Tiamat, Anna!"

Gorgon roared again and then continued his fierce attack.

She demanded, "Why? Why? You are Medusa, you are Gorgon, why did you spare those humans?! You should understand my pain, my tragedy, you should join me in revenge!!"

"No...that's not right, because I don't want to run away anymore."

Anna answered softly.

"what?!"

Gorgon's expression hardened.

“You’re using hatred to escape the fact that you killed your sisters, but I want to face that fact. So you’ve forgotten the beauty of the past and forgotten your own name. We are not Gorgons, our name is… Medusa.”

Anna withstood Gorgon's increasingly ferocious attacks and continued, "Do you understand? The reason I appeared is to remind you of this, and more importantly, to awaken you from your vengeance. I am your restraint, and you are mine. Today, I will reclaim the name Medusa, Gorgon..."

"You're just running away, you just want to forget this pain! I don't accept it, I will never acknowledge you! If you want to let go, then die! I have nothing left but revenge!"

Gorgon continued his frenzied attack and then began to hurl insults.

But this time Anna didn't answer; she simply continued to receive the opponent's attacks.

She was never good with words.

She preferred to convey her will to Gorgon through her actions rather than words.

Now, it's all over.

"Take this, Gorgon, this is my final Noble Phantasm."

"Burning Spirit Origin, Noble Phantasm Released - Forced Seal, Pandemonium."

Anna smiled and raised her hand, aiming her final blow at Gorgon, preparing to convey everything she wanted to say with this last move.

Upon seeing Anna's starting stance, Gorgon's previously tyrannical expression suddenly froze, and his eyes were filled with terror.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?!"

Before Gorgon could finish speaking, a purple torrent arrived in an instant, engulfing her entire body.

Chapter 280 Black Tide

Chaldea.

Looking at the various instruments and Chaldea environment that had been almost completely destroyed by Goetia, the employees who had just escaped danger were stunned. They pointed at the blown-up control room and asked, "Gang, what exactly is Gang?"

"No, I don't know."

The staff around shook their heads, then said with a solemn expression, "But we survived, and that was the culprit behind the burning of humanity."

Goetia unleashed a beam of light, attacking all of Chaldea's instruments and equipment in an almost indiscriminate manner, intending to completely obliterate this human restoration organization, which was known as the command center.

Ramses II, who was in the midst of the summoning circle at the time, naturally knew what it was. In the Sixth Singularity, he had been severely punished by Goetia. So he did not hesitate to activate his Great Temple to block it. With a thought, a pyramid appeared outside Chaldea, covering the interior and taking all the staff inside for protection.

The events unfolded in the blink of an eye, and Ramses II's decisive action served as a wake-up call to the other Heroic Spirits of Chaldea.

Romulus, Orion, King Arthur, Cú Chulainn, and other top-tier Servants also attacked Goetia simultaneously. After their attacks were neutralized by Goetia's counter-summoning, they all solemnly remarked, "As expected, it is the complete Beast."

They then immediately used their Noble Phantasms to notify all the Heroic Spirits in Chaldea.

When the Heroic Spirits who were silently praying for Ritsuka learned that Goetia, the mastermind behind everything, had actually come to Chaldea, they were all stunned, and then their expressions became extremely serious.

After the Jerusalem singularity was conquered, Fujimaru Ritsuka told Chaldea what she had seen about Loew's modified version of Solomon and Goetia. Although Roman looked quite distressed at the time, most of the Heroic Spirits in Chaldea accepted the story.

They realized that if they wanted to avert the catastrophe of the Burning of Humanity, they needed to not only repair the singularity but also find a way to defeat Goetia.

And now, Goetia has actually entered Chaldea.

This situation is not only shocking, but its urgency is also chilling.

Ramses II immediately led the other Servants to deal with Goetia here, and gave the order: "All humans, withdraw. The rest of the Servants, destroy him!"

Among the heroic spirits present were many renowned kings, who would naturally be angered by such orders. However, in such an urgent situation, these kings did not lose their temper or show any sense of chivalry; instead, they simply surrounded Goetia.

Powerful Heroic Spirits like Romulus hurriedly unleashed their Noble Phantasms, but they were all blocked by Goetia's anti-summoning ability. In the face of Goetia's anti-summoning ability, any attack from a Heroic Spirit would be blocked and nullified.

At that time, Goetia didn't linger with them. He unleashed a barrage of light and a number of auxiliary spells, nearly pulverizing Chaldea before leaving. The Heroic Spirits, who were ready to fight him to the death, were completely dumbfounded.

Waver, known as the strategist of Chaldea and who usually serves as Fujimaru Ritsuka's mentor, noticed the problem and frowned in thought.

"What's wrong, Weber?"

"The young conqueror asked."

"I just feel... something's fishy."

Weber spoke to the Conqueror.

The other Heroic Spirits also looked at him and asked, "Is there something strange about the strategist? Are you puzzled by Goetia's arrival here? As a Beast, he has the power to manifest independently, so it's normal for him to come over."

"No, I care more about his purpose than why he was able to come here."

"Purpose?"

Ramses II frowned.

Waver nodded: "What exactly is Goetia's purpose in leaving the singularity through a separate manifestation and coming to Chaldea via Ritsuka's summoning portal?"

"Ha, is that even a question? They're definitely planning to come and wipe out Chaldea in one fell swoop. He's the mastermind behind the Burning of Humanity, and we're the Restorers. It's perfectly normal for us to be hostile and antagonistic."

Cú Chulainn replied directly, "He's definitely here to eliminate us."

"It makes sense, but it's not correct."

Waver shook his head and continued, "Our current Master is in the Seventh Singularity. If he really wants to destroy us and stop the restoration of humanity, it would be much easier for him to go to Uruk and kill Ritsuka. And although it's rude of me, after the appearance of another Master from another world, or rather, my senior brother, Ritsuka and Chaldea's existence is no longer irreplaceable. After all, without uniqueness, he can carry out the restoration of humanity on his own."

During the Sixth Singularity, after hearing that Ritsuka had summoned Waver from this world, Lovi asked Ritsuka to give him his regards and also instructed her to tell her how talented Waver was and how he was a master of overtime, and to make him work overtime more often in the future. This immediately made a deep impression on Waver.

He still had some insights into this senior from another world.

“Goetia naturally values ​​his senior brother more, and from his appearance to his attack, he clearly had a chance to kill most people in one move, but he deliberately avoided attacking humans and gave Ramses II the opportunity to protect the others. So I find it strange. It's like, it's like…”

As Weber spoke, his eyes widened slightly, and the cigarette in his hand trembled and fell to the ground.

Not only him, but the other Heroic Spirits who were more strategic or good at reasoning also realized what was happening.

Holmes, in particular, after Ramses II released everyone, concluded directly: "He's stalling! Or rather, clearing the area; Goetia doesn't want Chaldea involved."

"..."

Upon hearing this conclusion, even Dr. Roman and the others who had just been released were stunned, especially Dr. Roman, whose expression was extremely strange.

They didn't believe that Goetia would show mercy for no reason; his actions were naturally for a specific purpose, and that purpose itself was...

Just as the atmosphere became quiet, the heroic spirits of the technology team came out one by one.

Especially Leonardo da Vinci, who conveyed an extremely ominous conclusion and message: "Although I know the atmosphere is somewhat heavy, most of Chaldea's functions have been forced to stop. Although we can still hold on with the remaining Holy Grail and not be completely worn down, I want to convey a message—"

"The cryogenic hibernation pods located beneath Chaldea have all been shut down. Although doctors like Nightingale and Sanson are working to save them, preventing them from all dying, the remaining Masters are in grave danger, and there has been a very strange research discovery."

"what?"

These are turbulent times, and Dr. Roman, who was already distressed by the attack on the Goetia command, looked even stranger after hearing Da Vinci's report.

In response, Da Vinci simply continued, "The condition of the Masters in Group A seems to be somewhat unexpected. Their bodies appear to have been repaired by an incomprehensible force long ago, and the physical attributes of some of them are so outrageous that they seem inhuman. I suspect that Goetia has some connection with them, so I suggest that we capture and control them first."
