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

She had no secrets from her idol.

Anyone could see that she idolized Lo Wei, and even her rivalry with Rin Tohsaka was to show off in front of Lo Wei.

When she achieves victory, she will use the Holy Grail as a gift to become Lovi's disciple, completely crushing Rin Tohsaka under her feet.

After glancing at the outspoken Luvia, Luo Wei did not refuse directly. Instead, he pondered and said, "It's not a problem to give you pointers on magic, but let's talk about it after the Holy Grail War."

"Really? That's great!"

Luvia's eyes lit up, and her smile became even brighter.

Furthermore, the divine power within her began to fluctuate with her emotional state, but there were no other effects.

Clearly, the deity summoned by Luvia is quite easy to talk to and very reasonable. Not only will it not seize Luvia's body, but it also won't interfere with her; in fact, it will even offer to help. Even this magic workshop, which is similar to the other world, likely benefited from her assistance, with its special features being the work of a deity. This stands in stark contrast to Ishtar.

"Actually, I came to see you today to talk to the one on your body."

Without hiding anything, Luo Wei stared into Luvia's eyes and easily saw the golden figure hidden deep in her soul.

The other party had obviously seen him too.

And when they saw the divine power and soul fire emanating from her, their eyes revealed a great deal of surprise and disbelief.

"Who exactly are you...?!"

The next moment, Luvia's eyes changed, and her demeanor immediately became sacred.

The golden goddess slightly raised her head to look at Luo Wei, her surprise barely concealed.

She spoke softly, “To practice the path of the gods in human form and to fully master the way of the gods. Your existence is truly unbelievable to me. I can see that you possess unique power and a unique path, and you are already half a step away from that final step. That is a realm that even Zeus could not achieve... it is transcendence.”

"His obsession runs too deep, he can't let go of it at all, so he can't become a transcendent being. Chaos is more like it. But I'm not qualified to say anything about him. I also have my own obsessions, which is why I'm stuck in this position. The reason I'm human is simply because I want to live my own life seriously. I don't have any thoughts of transcending this world yet."

Faced with her words, Luo Wei smiled helplessly: "After all, if we really surpass him, my father can do the shorting and reducing, but I will suffer. In any case, let me enjoy myself for a few days first."

"..."

The Golden Goddess did not reply to Luo Wei's words.

Her identity prevents her from commenting on the situation.

However, she knew very well that the being in front of her was an extraordinary being.

So she asked, "So, what brings you here this time?"

"Yes, there is something I need your help with."

"Please go ahead."

The golden goddess didn't rush to agree or refuse; she looked at Luo Wei seriously and asked:

"I'd like to know how I can help you."

Luo Wei nodded, then looked at the golden goddess before him. "Actually, it's nothing major. I just hope you can fulfill your divine duties to maintain order in the Holy Grail War, and try your best to use your power to restrain those who don't follow the rules and might cause chaos—"

"Astraea, the goddess of justice and scales."

Chapter 375 Ishtar's Rebellion

If you were to ask what's more painful than being down on your luck...

Then without a doubt, it's because you were down on your luck and happened to be seen by the person you least wanted to see.

At this moment, this is what Rin Tohsaka is thinking.

She looked at the person in front of her who clearly had Luvia's face but had a completely different temperament, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Luvia, what are you doing here?!"

Upon seeing Luvia appear, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but shout.

Clearly, despite the drastic change in her demeanor, Rin Tohsaka still didn't recognize the truth because her appearance and clothing remained unchanged.

“She’s the helper I hired, didn’t I just tell you that?”

Seeing Rin Tohsaka yelling and shouting, Luo Wei quickly spoke up to explain.

"What?! Is it really her?!"

Reminded by this, Rin Tohsaka suddenly remembered what Luo Wei had just said, and her eyes widened in disbelief. She hurriedly asked, "She and I are enemies, and what can she do to help me?"

Rin Tohsaka still refused to believe it.

In her eyes, Luvia was always inferior to her, looked down on her, and was only picking fights out of jealousy.

Ishtar is someone even she couldn't handle with Command Seals, so what could Luvia possibly do? She was now more inclined to believe that Luvia was just there to laugh at her.

Seeing through Rin Tohsaka's thoughts at a glance, Lovi shook his head helplessly. He was about to explain, but unlike Rin, who was completely unaware of the truth, Ereshkigal, who was floating to the side, quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Humans? No, this is the aura of a god..."

Ailei stared intently at Luvia's face, then stroked her chin and examined her closely.

As the Queen of the Underworld of Mesopotamia, she was extremely familiar with souls and divine auras, so she was naturally not as easily deceived by appearances as Rin Tohsaka. Her eyes were fixed intently on Luvia at this moment.

She sensed an extremely pure and powerful aura emanating from Luvia. Such a divine aura could never be possessed by a human. Even the most powerful demigod, Gilgamesh, would not possess such pure divine power, so the matter was quite clear.

"Which pantheon are you a deity from? Are you also possessed by another girl, like us?"

Eresh asked Luvia.

"What an amazing sense of smell, Lord Ereshkigal, the King of the Underworld of Mesopotamia, you recognized me at a glance."

After Ereshkigal saw through the truth at a glance, Astraea, who was possessing Luvia, nodded slightly and a smile appeared on her face.

Then, she politely introduced herself to Ai Lei.

"I am a deity from the Olympian pantheon, or rather the Greek pantheon, the goddess Astraea, who is in charge of justice and scales, righteousness and judgment."

As she spoke, she summoned her divine artifact, the Scales, and a golden short sword.

When she introduced herself, Ai Lei's expression turned to surprise.

She exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined that, besides Ishtar and me, there would be other gods who could be summoned by such a ritual, and even possessed by them."

"And another thing... you actually know me?"

Yes, I know you.

In response to Ereshkigal's question, Astraea replied with utmost politeness, "Mr. Rowe explained your current situation to me and briefly mentioned some things about you, so I have a general understanding of your character. You are truly a great being, almost like Hades, the god of the underworld. Therefore, I should pay my respects to you. I was summoned here to help you resolve your predicament."

"Is that so...? That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing Astraea's words, Rin Tohsaka's eyes immediately lit up. However, seeing Astraea wearing Luvia's face, striking such a sacred pose, and appearing extremely proper and approachable, Rin couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

She hadn't expected that she wasn't the only one to draw such a powerful card as the goddess; Luvia had drawn the same one. Moreover, the other woman's goddess seemed incredibly approachable, far superior to her own Ishtar.

This made her envious.

However, compared to Rin Tohsaka's current complex feelings, Ereshkigal felt a little confused.

She carefully examined Astraea, feeling her power. After repeated scrutiny, she finally confirmed that Astraea was indeed a benevolent goddess, possessing a power of justice similar to that of her brother Shamash. As the ruler of the Scales, she was a righteous goddess, far superior to herself, a dark goddess. This made Eresh feel a pang of envy.

But despite her envy, Ai Lei still had some questions about it.

She looked at Astraea and asked, "Ishtar and I were summoned because of our connection with Lovi and our compatibility with Ishtar. But what about you? As the guardian of Libra, why are you here? You have no reason to respond to the summons, and what is your class? Shouldn't you be a Ruler?"

"I'm curious about that too."

At this moment, Luvia, who was the body she possessed, suddenly spoke up, "I was just standing on the summoning circle when she appeared out of nowhere, and even seriously discussed with me the proper terms for borrowing my body, without any warning whatsoever. As for her class, it's even more outrageous..."

"It's Berserker."

"Berserker!"

When Eresh heard this class, she was taken aback.

Rin Tohsaka was completely bewildered. She looked at Astraea, who was able to coexist peacefully with Luvia and showed no signs of losing her rationality during their conversation, and felt as if she had been deceived.

After all, aren't Berserkers a bunch of madmen who have lost their minds and only know how to fight and act on instinct? This goddess doesn't look like a Berserker at all.

"In this respect, I am indeed a Berserker. As for why I am a Berserker, it's probably because there are already suitable candidates for my class. However, it's not hard to explain why I can maintain my rationality. I am the God of Libra, the God of Fairness, and I have the ability to keep my mind clear at all times to ensure fair judgments. It is this ability that helps me counteract the evaporation of my rationality."

Astraea pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Although I may still lose control of my emotions and have a fit when I encounter things that I can't accept, I can still maintain normal communication and actions, so you don't need to worry."

"As for why I answered the summons, I found it strange at first. As the God of Justice, I shouldn't have any influence on the human world, but I had a premonition that there was something I needed to do in this Holy Grail War, and that I had a mission to participate in this Holy Grail War. As for the reason—I probably already knew when Mr. Loe mentioned Ishtar."

"what……?"

Ai Lei blinked.

"..."

Rin Tohsaka immediately covered her face.

She couldn't help but wonder what kind of being she had summoned that could compel the goddesses of justice from other pantheons to personally come out and restrain her.

In fact, this was not surprising to Lo Wei at all.

After all, Gilgamesh wrote several tablets full of words, and even poems, just to fiercely curse Ishtar.

This is why Ishtar's reputation became extremely bad in later generations.

Now all you need to do is go online and look up the existence of Ishtar, and you'll see Gilgamesh's records of the foolish things he did and the insults he hurled at her.

As for the advantages...

Loewe knew it all too well.

He was so familiar with Gilgamesh that Lovi clearly remembered what Gilgamesh had said.

Praise for Ishtar?

What should we praise her for?

Is it praise for her greed or her ignorance?

Even if I make sarcastic remarks to her, she'll take it as praise. If I were to actually compliment her, she'd definitely take it even more seriously. Besides, I wouldn't do something so pointless. I'd rather use that energy to insult her a few more times and teach her a lesson.

While there were many personal reasons that led to Gilgamesh's history being filled with his own opinions, Lobi had to admit that praising Ishtar was indeed extremely difficult. This resulted in almost none of Ishtar's merits being recorded, only a series of negative historical accounts. If Ishtar knew about this, she would surely be so devastated that she would summon the Bull of Heaven to launch a world-destroying campaign to cover up her dark past.

"I see. You were summoned here to restrain Ishtar, which means you are actually the suppressor chosen by the Counter Force to prevent Ishtar from running amok, right?"

Ai Lei immediately understood.

At the same time, she couldn't help but complain: "Just how bad is Ishtar's reputation that the Counter Force would go so far as to summon goddesses from other pantheons to deal with her?"

Luo Wei: "Anyway, it's definitely more outrageous than you imagine."
