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

There was absolutely no reflection on their actions.

What's wrong with this guy's moral compass?

Astraea then glanced at Rowe, to which Rowe simply shrugged.

He said that words alone could not possibly awaken Ishtar in the slightest.

If you want her to listen to reason, you have to make her suffer a bit.

The way to make her suffer was naturally quite simple.

and so……

Astraea raised her weapon, and a glint appeared in her eyes as she looked at Ishtar…

A chill.

Next was her time for education.

Chapter 376 Justice and Retribution

Sometimes, when people are extremely speechless, they really can't help but laugh.

At least for now, that's how it is for Rowe.

Looking at Ishtar above, who was clearly in dire straits but remained oblivious and continued to shout, Rowe's patience for the idiot finally reached its limit.

He raised his head, clutching it, then looked speechlessly at Ishtar in mid-air and said:

"Ishtar, haven't you realized something's wrong yet?"

"what?!"

Hearing his words, Ishtar turned around and said nonchalantly:

"What are you talking about? Is something wrong? There's only one wild god here, isn't there?"

Luo Wei: "..."

Good grief, she really didn't realize the situation at all.

Seeing this, he rubbed his forehead, glanced at Astraea, who was already enraged and about to unleash a powerful punch, then calmly surveyed Ishtar above him.

"I think you'd better not be too arrogant. After all, you should try to understand your current situation. A magician will suffer a great loss if he enters someone else's magic workshop, and a god will also be suppressed if he is in the temple of a god from a different pantheon. Haven't you learned anything from being hung up and tortured by Ereshkigal?"

"Ha, you're not allowed to mention that!"

When Ishtar heard Rowe bring up that incident again, she became agitated.

She then glanced around; it was indeed the temple of other gods. She then looked at Astraea again, her expression still disdainful.

"Even if it's as you say, so what? She's just a wild god. You don't think all gods can suppress me with their temples, do you? Ereshkigal can suppress me because she's slightly stronger than me, no, about the same strength, after all, she's the Queen of the Underworld. But why is this wild god stronger than me?"

"On the contrary, a mere concession from a temple is just right for me. After all, I have become weaker, but that doesn't mean she has become stronger, right?"

Seeing that the first thing this guy did in this situation was not to investigate the other party's identity, but to continue his verbal sparring, Luo Wei's lips twitched involuntarily.

He looked at Ishtar speechlessly and said, "Speaking of which... do you even know who the other party is? You keep calling him a wild god, you probably don't even know who he is."

"Yes, that's right. She's just a wild god, at most a minor goddess in some pantheon. Why should I know anything about her?"

Ishtar remained disdainful. "Anyway, as long as they're not at the level of a god-king, they're no match for me. Even among the main gods, there aren't many beings superior to me, are there?"

What an arrogant tone!

If someone else said that, they would definitely be considered to be spouting nonsense.

However, Ishtar really has the confidence to back it up.

The chief deity of the Sumerian civilization.

The supreme deity who governs so many powers, including love and beauty, war and wealth, fertility and harvest.

If we consider the Greek pantheon of Astraea, so many powers would be enough to create multiple chief gods, all of them top-tier powers. This shows just how much the Sumerian pantheon favored this guy.

So far, the only deity who can be said to have a firm grip on her is the King of Gods. Even Athena and Ares cannot suppress Ishtar, after all, she also has an even more ancient side, Inanna.

However, that's based on raw power, on the true form of a deity.

In her original form, Ishtar could definitely spin Astraea with one hand, without a doubt. Lovi wouldn't ask Astraea for help; he'd probably go find the archangel to come down, or teach her a lesson himself.

But now...

Unfortunately, since they are all gods and both are in the ordinary Spirit Origin state, Ishtar is not much better than Astraea.

If the size and strength of gods are lakes of different sizes, then the spirit origin is a cup-like container. When the level of spirit origins is the same, everyone's performance is limited, so there is no difference in size. Therefore, the only way to determine the winner is to compete in one's own mechanisms and consciousness.

So...

Ishtar is in big trouble.

Given the same size, the most willful and unruly god encountered another god who was the most serious and rule-abiding. It could be said that their compatibility was completely suppressed.

So when he thought about what would happen next, Luo Wei couldn't help but laugh.

This was her destined tribulation.

"Yes, after all, you possess the highest level of power, a being bestowed by the supreme god. Even though you've done a lot of things that have caused the gods to have high blood pressure, you won't be punished because of this favor. But..."

Lovi looked at Astraea, who was already sharpening her sword behind him, and said, "Your grace is only for your own pantheon. In other pantheons, not every one is like Sumer, without a judge. In the distant Greek pantheon, there exists a great goddess who, as long as someone makes a mistake, will fairly and justly bring down the sword of judgment, whether it be the chief god or the king of gods!"

"what?"

"Let me just tell you straight, your opponent is none other than Astraea, the Greek goddess of judgment."

"What kind of wild god is that? I've never heard of it."

Ishtar remained disdainful, but at that moment, Astraea's patience with the idiot finally reached its limit. She raised the Sword of Judgment and the Golden Scales, pointing them at Ishtar, and solemnly pronounced her judgment.

"—Insulting other gods, trespassing on private property, wantonly destroying things, acting recklessly, showing no sense of divine responsibility, and continuing to cause trouble in the temples of other gods, not behaving like a chief god should. If this were within your pantheon, it would be one thing, but to dare to be so chaotic in front of me is something I can never tolerate."

“Therefore, I will punish you in place of your father, Ishtar.”

"Replace my father? You really dare to say that. All I did was demolish your house, and that was because you built a temple in front of me. Yet you speak with such righteous indignation. Aren't you also a Servant who came for the Holy Grail? In that case, it's only natural for me to attack you first."

Ishtar frowned slightly, then waved her arm lightly. In the blink of an eye, the blue Amaana floated behind her and aimed her cannon at Astraea below. "Moreover, your existence itself annoys me more than the Holy Grail War, so watch me kill you right here and then show you who the real goddess is."

"In fact... you are the least qualified one."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei let out a soft sigh.

"..."

This sound successfully made Ishtar raise her eyebrows. Although she wanted to question Lovi about why he was speaking such blunt truths, she didn't immediately lose her temper because Astraea was in front of her. Instead, she decided to resolve the issue first before getting angry.

"Exactly what I want!"

Astraea, wanting to teach Ishtar a lesson, launched an attack without hesitation, though her methods seemed rather wild.

Swish!

A piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

"what?!"

Ishtar, suspended in mid-air, hurriedly tilted her head to dodge a golden streak of light that flashed past the edge of her hair. In an instant, because the speed was so fast, many strands of her hair fell out.

Then, she reached up and touched her now-messy hair, her expression immediately turning angry.

"You dare to launch a sneak attack! Are you really a goddess of justice?"

Realizing what had happened, Ishtar angrily shouted at Astraea.

However, faced with her questioning, Astraea did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, she naturally sighed, "What a pity... I missed."

She then tossed her long hair and said calmly to Ishtar, "I am indeed the goddess of justice, but you must know that justice is relative. My justice is only given to humans and gods who are equally righteous, and you are clearly not one of them. Moreover—there is no need to talk about justice when dealing with demons and heretics."

"Who are you calling a heretic?! You're not just a wild god, you're a wild god with absolutely no manners!"

Hearing this, Ishtar's blood pressure nearly spiked. She then turned around and looked at the wall behind her, where a golden dagger was embedded straight into the wall—the very one Astraea had thrown.

Upon seeing this, Ishtar was so angry she laughed.

For a moment, she couldn't tell if she was going crazy or if the guy below her was just too stupid.

Because at that moment, Astraea, having lost her dagger and the scales, was actually charging towards her.

"As Saber, how can you fight me without your sword and Noble Phantasm? Have you lost your mind?"

She had just made a sarcastic remark, but in the next moment...

Swish!

The sound of something cutting through the air suddenly echoed in her ears, and Ishtar's eyes widened.

"How...is this possible?"

She said incredulously.

Because at that very moment, in the blink of an eye, Astraea had instantly moved from her original position to the spot in front of her, and leaped up to the same height as her.

"I forgot to tell you, I'm not Saber, my class is—Berserker!"

The moment the words left her lips, Astraea's righteous fist landed directly on Ishtar's face. Completely caught off guard, Ishtar was sent flying backward like a cannonball by the terrifying force, unable to comprehend what had happened until the very last moment.

What exactly is this b value?!

How can it be as outrageous as Quetzalcoatl's fist?!

On the other side, Rowe looked at the large human-shaped hole left by Ishtar in the wall above his head, and then glanced at the battle that started strong but ended weakly. Although he was speechless, he thought about it carefully and it made a lot of sense.

After all, that's Ishtar, plus Rin Tohsaka's mecha.

The fact that their two "mishap" traits merged to form this result is perfectly reasonable.

Her defeat was even more absurd than that of Gilgamesh, who got his elbow chopped off by Shirou Emiya. Ishtar was instantly killed before she could even react, a complete disaster.

Ishtar was even grateful that her opponent was Astraea; otherwise, if that punch had truly been meant to take her life, it would have been aimed at her chest.

"Tsk tsk... This is quite a show."

Lovi glanced in the direction Ishtar had flown off in, sighed to himself, and then gave Luvia and Astraea a thumbs up.

Immediately afterward, she got up and left, intending to retrieve Rin Tohsaka's body first. Ishtar must have been knocked unconscious by that attack.

The person currently in charge, besides Ereshkigal, must be Rin Tohsaka herself.

Sitting to the side, Luo Wei could easily imagine how chaotic it would be for Rin Tohsaka to open her eyes and find herself with multiple fractures all over her body. So he needed to deal with things there to prevent Rin from falling into some remote place and getting into trouble.
