Shen Yuan walked forward slowly. Facing the light spear in the hands of the Bone Ghost, he was not afraid at all. He said, "I said, I am not here for the people of Uruk, I am here for you!"

"For... me?"

The Bone Ghost hesitated a bit and did not attack the man immediately.

"Ereshkigal, I know this is the first time you've made a decision of your own volition, but isn't this another way to protect Uruk?"

"You...you are talking nonsense! How could I possibly protect them?"

Shen Yuan's question made the Bone Ghost, who was about to attack, pause and let out a cute sound of annoyance.

"This is the 'Great Cup of Uruk,' and it is in my hand."

Shen Yuan took out the Holy Grail he had obtained and showed it to Ereshkigal.

"Mr. Aatrox...?!"

Everyone else was confused. What was going on?

"If you want it, I can give it to you. If you want to gather the souls of all the humans in Uruk, I can help you imprison them in the underworld. No, I can just use soul-destroying magic to destroy them all."

Shen Yuan said this, took a step forward, raised the Holy Grail in his hand and placed it in front of Ereshkigal.

"In that case, then..."

However, just as the Bone Ghost was about to take the Holy Grail, Shen Yuan took a half step back and said, playing hard to get, "But is this really the outcome you wanted? Ereshkigal, you've always loved the people of Uruk, right? You imprisoned their souls to protect them, so they wouldn't be harmed by other goddesses. Once you obtain the Holy Grail, you'll resurrect everyone...right? Ereshkigal, no, Miss Elle."

"!!"

When the White Skeleton Ghost heard someone calling out his other name, his body trembled and seemed to turn a little pink.

I don't know if he was angry or shy.

“Ahhhhhh!! What are you talking about! As if you know me? Hurry up and give me the Holy Grail, and then this goddess, this goddess will destroy Uruk!!”

The Bone Ghost raised her light gun as if she was angry and embarrassed, and terrifying magic power burst out. In an instant, the entire underworld seemed to be responding to her.

"It's over! Mr. Aatrox has messed up!"

"He can't be absolutely 033 able to conquer this bone monster... Oh no, beauty!"

Merlin felt a chill down his spine. Facing such bones, he couldn't bring himself to do anything.

I have to say that Shen Yuan is a ruthless person.

"boom!"

A huge amount of red thunder gathered above the underworld, as if accumulating energy for a powerful blow.

"Smarter than Ishtar, more focused on beauty... seemingly majestic, but actually a very caring goddess. Miss Elle, you are simply the (Red) Angel of the Underworld!"

The more Shen Yuan praised him, the more angry and humiliated the White Bone Ghost became.

Facing that fatal blow, his "God-killing Sword" trembled slightly, as if sensing hostility and ready to take the initiative to attack.

But Shen Yuan pressed the hilt of the sword to prevent the God-Slaying Sword from instinctively attacking.

"A lonely, inspired girl who can only converse with a ghost in a birdcage. How adorable. But a girl like that shouldn't attack ordinary, defenseless people."

Unarmed?

Ordinary people?

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Shen Yuan's hand holding the Darkin Demon Sword, and she almost believed it.

"System, temporarily remove the Darkin Sword Demon image."

[System]: Released!

A ‘swish’ sound.

Shen Yuan seemed to have completely switched into another person, that was his true appearance, as if the Bone Ghost was Elle's combat form. Compared with Merlin, his human form was more handsome and stylish, even compared with the male version of King Arthur, he had more kingly temperament.

At first glance, a tall, silver-haired man with the aura of the Ruined King, who looked like Sephiroth, appeared.

Shen Yuan, who inherited many heroic templates, has long had an extraordinary temperament. His sword-like will is reflected in his deep eyes.

"who is he!!"

Ishtar's eyes widened. Not only her, but even Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, who had seen many handsome men, kings, and heroes, slowly opened their eyes, as if they had seen a male player seeing a beautiful woman.

"I am the summoner of Aatrox—my real name is Shen Yuan."

"I am the king of mortals, I am the creator of the world, I am a god worshipped by many people. But now, I am nothing. I am just a 'Darkin' whose soul is imprisoned in a giant sword!"

Confusion, anger, helplessness, all kinds of emotions affect the surroundings.

What he wanted to do was to make Ai Lei feel that she was not alone.

"You possess great intelligence and pride, yet you are bound by your destiny as the master of the underworld. Goddess of death and corruption. You are like a mortal girl I have met. She (Tousaka Rin) protects Fuyuki City, and you protect the underworld. You both possess a strong sense of responsibility, composure, and principles."

"How could you, who can endure loneliness and stick to your own position, become a pillar of the 'Three Goddesses Alliance'?"

"You portray yourself as a wicked person, yet as a goddess entrusted with souls, you deeply love humans. This is clearly not your intention!"

Shen Yuan took a deep breath and continued shouting.

"Ms. Elle! If you had another chance, what would you choose? Destroy humanity? Or, choose the method most likely to succeed in protecting the underworld?"

"You bastard!!"

At this moment, the red thunder gathered by the white bone ghost seemed to be disintegrated by words, and began to dissipate from the head and collapse and disappear, and the white bones gradually faded away, revealing the blonde Ai Lei inside.

"What method do you want to use to protect the underworld? Are you an idiot?!"

Ai Lei stomped her feet and shouted. She was in a very complicated mood. She had already made a cruel decision, but now she couldn't bring herself to do it because of a handsome man's declaration of love.

"Miss Elle, please lend me your power! Humanity's evils must be borne by humanity. Humanity's disasters must be resolved by humanity. I, the Summoner, am here for this very purpose. Therefore, I need your power."

Shen Yuan stretched out his hand and looked at Ai Lei expectantly.

It would be best if you could get the power of a goddess for free without resorting to violence.

Besides, it would be interesting to take home a beautiful goddess of the underworld like Ellie.

"Wow! Ereshkigal! I never knew you were this kind of person. You usually look so reserved, but I never thought you'd be this kind of person! You can't even walk when you see a handsome guy, right? I really think I'm unlucky. Why did I have to follow this guy down here and suffer like this? Not only am I cursed and punished, but why? I even have to watch you guys flirting with each other disgustingly! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Ishtar finally understood that everyone was imitating her.

He is just a tool to connect people.

"Miss Ritsuka!"

"understand!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Merlin looked at each other, and immediately understood each other. He pushed Ishtar to the ground and covered her mouth to prevent her from ruining the alliance ceremony.

"..."

When Ailei heard Ishtar's words, she was stunned for several seconds before she reacted and her pretty face turned red.

What’s going on? My body feels light and fluttery.

He seemed very happy.

This was the first time someone liked the mistress of the underworld who easily brought death, the goddess who symbolized darkness and decay.

As goddesses, Elle and Ishtar each have their own unique charms.

As the lord of the underworld, Elei and Ishtar both possess the body of a human girl. Compared to Ishtar, she has long golden hair and the same red eyes, a scarlet cloak and a black dress.

She is more conservative than Ishtar, more quiet and steady. Although she is a bit tsundere, she is like a caring older sister.

The younger sister, Ishtar, is a "woman who lives with a sense of responsibility," while the older sister, Ereshkigal, is a "serious scholar and a girl who is also serious about love."

He is both a devil and an angel, greedy and demanding, yet selfless and devoted, bold and unrestrained, yet more shy than anyone else. Beneath his proud and strong side lies a lonely and fragile side.

Their greatest charm lies in their ability to harmoniously blend these two complex sides.

"Even if you say so, I can't easily agree to it. I am the master of the underworld. Even if I have no claim to the title of Lord of the Underworld, since this involves the authority of the Land of the Dead, I can't just stand by and watch. Ignoring my wishes and causing trouble in the Underworld is no fun at all. Besides, so many people rushing into the Underworld will only cause me trouble... Building a prison to imprison souls is very hard work!"

No matter how calm Ailei is, she is, after all, an ultimate tsundere who is cold yet caring.

Saying these words now is also a way to save face.

At least the demeanor of the goddess of the underworld should be embodied.

"Let me solve your troubles."

The deadlock was broken after touching the hand extended by Ailei. Although she had not yet considered herself a Master, the contract was quickly established.

"Why are you so nice to her? I don't accept it!"

Ishtar was extremely anxious, even getting angrier as she spoke. She then said, "Also, Ereshkigal, you cannot leave the underworld! And you actually used my body to do such a disgusting thing! I am no longer pure!"

"Shut up! Ishtar, even though we are two different personalities on the other side of the same coin, don't think I like you enough to share my body with you!"

Ailei retorted coldly.

"Alright, both of you, the misunderstanding has been resolved. I know you are both kind goddesses, but now is not the time to argue. In order to fight against the original Mother Goddess, I hope you can come together to lend a hand, okay?"

Shen Yuan stretched out his two hands as if to stop the dispute.

Being stared at like that, Ailei took a step back. She didn't know what to do, but Ishtar became furious.

"I don't want to be in cahoots with you guys!"

"Ishtar, are you provoking me?"

Ailei shouted angrily, and her expression suddenly turned cold, as if she saw Ishtar pointing at her nose and scolding her.

"Who are you trying to scare? I'm not afraid of you!"

Ishtar flew to Shen Yuan's side, lifted her hair and said proudly.

He said he didn't rely on others, but now he is hiding behind others.

"Then I will return all your divinity to you, and then you can come and fight me. Do you hear me?"

Ai Lei seemed to be serious and wanted to teach this guy a lesson.

Ishtar's forehead broke out in sweat, and she recalled the battle scene where Ailei had "bullied" her, and she suddenly felt a little regretful.

Elle is a pseudo-servant with the job class of Lancer.

Spearmen versus Archers.

And at this distance, Ishtar would probably be abused.

"Just hit us!"

To save face, Ishtar also summoned the sky boat Maana and flew into the air.

Ailei held the spear in her hand and prepared to summon the red thunder of the underworld, but the next moment, the amazing sword energy overwhelmed them with unparalleled momentum.

"Mr. Aatrox!"

Mashu was startled, sensing an astonishing fluctuation of magical power.

"No, it's not him!"

Merlin reacted instantly and locked his sight on another Servant not far away.

At this time, behind Elle and Ishtar stood a tall swordsman, covered in a pitch-black cloak, exuding a terrifying breath of death!

"The Crown Assassin?"

The moment he entered here, Shen Yuan sensed the presence of the swordsman.

He watched all this silently until the conflict between the two goddesses, then he revealed his identity and cut off the three-goddess contract on Ai Lei with a sword, letting others know.

"What a coincidence, Fujimaru Ritsuka..."

The being of death was covered in a pitch-black cloak, revealing an old man's face under the hood. His sharp eyes stared at the Master from Chaldea, as if he knew her.

Then he looked at the strongest person in the field.

"Have you been sent here to move the needle of the abyss? ...Goddess of the Underworld, what the old man wanted to say has been said by this young man. As he said, even if no one understands you, you are not alone. Furthermore, the pact of the Three Goddesses' Alliance no longer exists. From now on, you may do as you please."

The identity of the person who came was the old man in the mountains, Hassan Sabah!

Standing two meters and two centimeters tall, he exudes an indescribable sense of oppression.

And his indirect conversation with Shen Yuan showed that the old man was also sent by the "Alaya Consciousness". He had originally planned to retire, but had to fight again because of the seventh singularity.

"Could it be that you are the old man among the old men in the mountains! The strongest crown assassin!"

Merlin exclaimed.
