For him, it might just be a nap, but for everyone around him, it was an almost desperate wait.
No matter what he said, he was undoubtedly the core of the restoration of humanity across seven singularities.
"Even the burden of being the King of Gods couldn't crush you. I can only say that you are worthy of being my husband." Morgan held his hand. Her eyes and voice were extremely gentle, but she couldn't stop her tears, which flowed like rain.
Shiomi smiled bitterly and shook her head gently: "It was just a stupid and arrogant act. I didn't have absolute certainty, but I still did it."
"Yeah..." Morgan nodded.
As his five senses gradually recovered, Shiomi was finally able to move his body. He tried to get up, and Morgan immediately helped him sit up.
After being in a coma for about ten days, his body has recovered almost completely.
Although the "aftereffects" of forcibly wielding the Axe of Marduk have not yet disappeared, he has not fallen to the point where he is unable to fight.
It's just that you need to rely more on the support of your companions than usual.
Then, he felt the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from the direction of the northern Warcraft front.
The relaxed mood disappeared in the next second, and Shiomi squeezed Morgan's hand tightly.
"Since yesterday morning, the Warcraft Goddesses Gorgon and Kingu have launched an attack on the Warcraft front. The army of Warcraft and the Demon Pillars is attacking with a more ferocious offensive than before."
Morgan quickly calmed down and explained the situation to Shiomi.
"Two of the three goddesses' alliances betrayed the alliance and stopped participating in the destruction of Uruk. This, coupled with the heavy blow suffered by Wufu this time, is the main reason for the current situation."
"It's really hard to give us a break." Xi Jian sighed slightly, and then suddenly got shocked, "Since the battle started yesterday, now everyone——"
"Everyone is on the monster front to resist the attack. The Gorgon has not yet officially appeared. Only Kingu is commanding the monsters and the Demon Pillars. Therefore, Ereshkigal and Quetzalcoatl can also assist in the counterattack." Morgan lowered his eyes.
"...Are you the only one staying here to guard me?" Xijian sighed.
He had no complaints. If Morgan let him, who she didn't know whether he could wake up or not, to participate in the defense of the Warcraft front, she would not be able to concentrate.
"Let's just let the clone go there for now." Morgan said, "There is no feedback that the clone has been destroyed yet."
"Well. Since I'm awake, let's go together." Xijian got out of bed and stood barefoot on the smooth stone tiles of the bedroom.
Feeling the coolness of the bricks, he moved his body.
It is enough to be able to fight, not to hide behind and let others fight.
Quickly changing into combat uniform, Shiomi held Morgan's hand.
"You usually listen to me, but I know you don't listen to advice at all, especially at a time like this. But I'm almost the same." Morgan was helpless, but he didn't intend to stop her. "But before you go, don't forget one thing."
"what?"
"The Axe of Marduk."
Chapter 51: Warcraft Front
The northern city wall, the Warcraft front.
"Your presence here means that the Three Goddesses Alliance has broken down. What a pity!"
Despite saying this, Kingu fought Ereshkigal and Quetzal mercilessly, without any sense of what he said.
"The Three Goddesses Alliance was just a lie of yours, Kingu." Ereshkigal's eyes flashed with golden light, which was her anger. "The Uruk Cup and the Holy Grail of the Magic King are not the same thing at all!"
Ereshkigal, who had spoken this truth, thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, and countless burning spears emerged from the ground and headed straight for Kingu's feet.
"What? They've already discovered it. It looks like there are capable people in Chaldea as well."
In response to this, Jingu did not panic about his lies being exposed, as if he had been prepared for this moment to come from the very beginning.
"Jin-gu-gu!"
Quetzal's voice was also filled with anger. She wielded the Makwawit and fought Kingo to a standstill.
"Oh, your power has weakened too much, Quetzalcoatl." Kingo summoned weapons from the earth to attack while fighting and retreating, not in a hurry to defeat the two goddesses immediately. "The goddess of the underworld over there, after leaving the territory, can't fully exert her power, right?"
After the battle at the Temple of the Sun, it seemed in retrospect that Shiomi had indeed gone too far.
Forcibly releasing the true name of Marduk's Axe not only brought him the burden of being one step away from complete destruction, but also caused serious injuries to Quetzal, who did not dodge but used his own treasure to take the blow. Ten days were not enough to recover.
Not only that, when Ereshkigal came to the outside world, she could have used the power of Ishtar in her body, but that was also something she could control but could not unleash its full power.
So now, even though the two goddesses have taken action, they are unable to quickly take down Jingu and remove the Magic King's Holy Grail from his body.
Not to mention that there are endless magical beasts and nearly half of the demon pillars on this battlefield.
This is no longer a war that humans can understand.
"How serious is the sin of deceiving the goddess? Use your life to feel it~!"
After smashing the head of the monster that was getting in the way, Quetzal shook off the dark purple blood on his body and continued to attack Jingu.
A full hour had passed since Jingu appeared on the battlefield and started fighting with the two-pillar goddesses.
"What you said is really harsh. I am only acting for my mother. You are not smart enough to take others' words as the whole truth." Jingu responded scathingly, "The Gorgons will be here soon. It's time to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the attack on Uruk."
As the words were spoken, more chains mixed in with the monsters and intertwined with the attacks of the two goddesses. The view of the battlefield quickly became blurred.
Countless chains chased the two goddesses. Ereshkigal, who was not good at fighting, was caught first. When he flew up to avoid it, his ankles were entangled by the chains in the blind spot.
"Ereshkigal!"
Quetzal threw out Maquawit to cover, but was locked in the wrist again and pulled towards Kingo.
She took advantage of the situation and turned her body to use the force to attack, but Jingu did not meet the fist. Instead, he used the dense chains as a wall to defend against Quetzal's attack.
The Heaven's Chain can block a target with divinity. The Two Pillar Goddesses are no longer within the conventional divine category and possess an innate divine core.
But the chains entangled their bodies, further weakening their already incomplete strength, and the movements of the two goddesses slowed down further.
A cold gaze came from behind them, the eyes of the Demon Pillar were aimed at them, and its tentacles quickly attacked along the ground.
"So--"
One of Quetzalcoatl's treasures, the "Sun Calendar Stone", can release flames comparable to the sun. She plans to use it to melt the Sky Chains and Demon Pillars around her and clean up the battlefield in her own way.
“‘The Spear That Shines at the End’.”
Morgan's voice sounded, and the holy spear learned through magic was released here, rushing towards Kingo's location.
Jingu was so focused on dealing with the two goddesses in front of him that he only paid attention to the people on the northern front and failed to notice the approach of others. He hurriedly deployed his defense and used the Demon Pillar as a shield to make up for the shortfall.
Although the holy spear failed to penetrate the defense constructed by Jin Gu, it shattered the chains he used to bind the goddess.
"Tsk... the witch who is in the way, why don't you come earlier or later--"
Kingu was quite annoyed when he saw Morgan floating near Ereshkigal.
Only this time, a similar chill appeared behind him.
when--!
The edge of Jin Gu's vision only caught the cold light of the Spear of God, and he turned around as quickly as possible to meet the incoming attack.
His hands, strengthened to the extreme, were crossed to block the path of the spear, causing violent sparks to burst out.
"It's you!"
Jin Gu, who was almost hit by a surprise attack, pushed back the spear that failed to penetrate little by little.
Kingo used Enkidu's body, so he naturally had one of the abilities of this body, "breath perception". Even the skills of the Assassin class would be almost invisible under this ability.
Therefore, Shiomi gave up the plan of releasing the true name of the Noble Phantasm, as that would have been discovered in advance and he would have moved to a distance where Gungnir could not hit him.
Xi Jiantianxi and Morgan cooperated with each other one after another and killed Jingu by surprise.
Finally, having absorbed the force of the blow, Jingu's hand turned into a sharp blade and clashed with Shiomi's gun, creating another explosion and creating distance between them.
"Finally you've been resurrected! I wish all humans of your generation were this powerful~!"
Quetzal licked his lips, picked up the fallen Maquawit, and welcomed Shiomi.
"Humanity is still in the process of evolution. I'm just one step ahead of others," he said after standing up straight.
"But I didn't expect you to return to the battlefield so soon. I say, you stole my brother Marduk's weapons. The damage caused by the punishment from the sky hasn't been recovered yet, right?" Ereshkigal, who was floating in the sky while supporting Maana, said, looking at Morgan beside him, "How about letting your husband retreat to the rear?"
"That's not necessary. My husband hasn't fully recovered yet, but he's at least stronger than the human soldiers on the city wall. Since the Demon Goddess has launched a general attack, how can we just sit back and wait for the outcome? That's enough for the girl on the throne."
"It's great that you all got together. Let's use your lives as a living sacrifice before the Mother comes!"
Along with Jin Gu's voice, a huge vibration hit the battlefield outside the Warcraft line.
A huge body appeared, as tall as half the height of the battle line wall.
The Warcraft goddess Gorgon finally appeared on the battlefield.
Chapter 52: Gorgon
As the last pillar of the Three Goddesses Alliance, unlike Ereshkigal and Quetzalcoatl, the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon is much larger than an ordinary human.
The other two goddesses can mingle among humans freely without causing any surprise if they want to.
The Gorgon was more than ten meters in size. Just by appearing on the battlefield outside the Warcraft line, many soldiers on the city walls and under the city were shocked to the point of being speechless.
Cover the sky.
This was the first impression that the Gorgon brought to the Uruk soldiers. With her ominous figure mixed with the body of a snake and a human, and her undisguised aura of hatred, there was no doubt that she was a goddess who existed only to destroy mankind.
"That's... the Gorgon."
On the city wall, after Ying saw the giant figure of the goddess, she was surprised and immediately directed others on the wall to take cover.
According to the information provided by the other two goddesses, the true identity of the Warcraft Goddess is the Gorgon.
Then she is the being transformed from the Gorgon Medusa in Greek mythology. She lost her divinity but inherited some of Medusa's original abilities.
The most likely one is the top-level magic eye that can petrify living things with just one glance.
Ordinary human soldiers must never be allowed to be exposed to the Gorgon's field of vision.
However, in that case, coupled with the fact that the two goddesses are unable to directly fight the Gorgons due to their alliance, there is probably no force that can stop the Warcraft Goddess and the Warcraft army at this moment.
Think, think... and then think hard.
With her back against the shadow of the city wall, Sakura observed the Gorgon's battle.
Artoria and Scathach's containment of the Gorgon.
Scathach uses the original runes, "Runes of Liberation", to fight against the occasional petrification of her body.
As for Altria... the former Lion King, she possessed anti-magic power that surpassed Saber's class, and the petrifying Mystic Eyes only brought a little pressure to her actions.
Of course Ying knew that her father and mother had returned to the front line, but there was also a very troublesome King Kong over there.
At least before they deal with Jingu, they need to find a way to delay the Gorgon and prepare for the subsequent counterattack.
"Ying, let me go." Anna came to Ying's side.
"Miss Anna..." Sakura was stunned.
After spending these days with Chaldea, Anna finally trusted the girls there and revealed her true identity.
She is Medusa, who appeared in this singularity just to kill the Gorgon.
“Use my magic eye to fight against the Gorgon’s magic eye and give you a chance to attack,” Anna whispered.
"...But compared to Gorgon's current state, your strength..." Sakura couldn't accept her request for a fight.
Anna tried to smile: "I am not fighting alone. Everyone in Chaldea and Uruk are fighting. I cannot hide in a safe place and survive."
Anna knew very well that she was not going to die.
"Then—" Sakura grabbed Anna's wrist and made a contract with her, "Take my magic power, and... survive!"
The light of the Command Seal flashed, and the magic power was so huge that Anna almost lost control, making her smile helplessly.
"I promise you, I promise you," said Anna.
Ritsuka, who was hiding from Gorgon's sight on the other side, nodded to Sakura at this time, and shouted to Mashu: "Mashu, cover Anna!"
"Understood, Master!" Mashu responded loudly and rushed out first.
She was asked by Altria to stay behind and wait for the opportunity. Now that the Master has given the order, it means that the time has come.
"Doctor, inform the director to prepare to activate the celestial magic. I will ask the Knight King and the Master to retreat temporarily." Sakura then immediately sent a message to Chaldea, "Tell Kallen to take care of the wounded!"
"Understood, convey it now!"
