"Now...you're saying this now! I won't forgive you!" Ai Lei thought of how she had been wronged and angry by a few words, and finally ran away in a panic. Her cheeks flushed and she shouted, "I just think that you can be considered my friend after all! That's why I came here to remind you! Otherwise, if you are eliminated by other goddesses before you can face me, I will not forgive you even if you fall into the underworld!"
"what..."
Amber was just being polite but she didn't expect the other party to still be angry.
She didn't seem to say anything excessive last time. It was the same words, so why did Elle and Quetzal have completely different attitudes?
Thinking of Ishtar's previous remarks like 'If she is good, I am evil; if she is evil, I am good', Amber couldn't help but wonder if she had really said something offensive.
Or perhaps her train of thought is actually more in line with that of South American aliens?
"Don't you take it to heart at all? It's unbelievable!" Ai Lei looked at Amber, whose thoughts were drifting away. Her face, which was originally just a little flushed, became even redder, but this time it was obviously because of anger.
"The topic from last time! Why don't you tell me about it?" Li Xiang interrupted immediately upon seeing this.
"Hmph, fine."
Ai Lei also had a good impression of Li Xiang. In addition, she had hit a wall twice in a row with Amber. With the intention of letting a third person judge her, she recounted the conversation between her and Amber. Even Amber herself could not remember a lot of what they said.
You can see she cares a lot...
Amber was already thinking about how to appease the goddess of the underworld.
After listening to the entire conversation, Li Xiang just nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Is that so."
If she had not spoken to Amber, Elle wouldn't really care about what kind of comments she would get, because she would do it anyway. Although she really wanted to be praised and recognized, she had never received it before and didn't really want it that much.
However, Ailei, who was angered by Amber, did not agree with Lixiang's attitude.
"So, what do you think, Master?" she urged.
"Eh..." The corners of Li Xiang's mouth twitched, and he realized that he had picked up a hot potato.
"Are you going to say something similar to what Fu Hua said?" Ai Lei's expression was a little unhappy. To be more precise, it was a mixture of anger and sadness, which made people feel distressed. "Don't you agree with my idea?"
"what..."
Ritsuka really wanted to answer yes, but seeing that expression, how could he say it?
Amber also noticed that the goddess's firepower was attracted by Ritsuka, and reluctantly tried to smooth things over: "I think this is not a question of right or wrong, but a question of stance and choice."
Ai Lei also knows this, but she just hopes that someone can recognize her.
When I don’t have friends, I never receive recognition or praise. It’s still the same after I have friends. So, isn’t it a waste of time to have friends?
She also knew that compared to the main god of South America, her thoughts, feelings, and even actions were a bit willful, but... perhaps influenced by the owner of this body, now she wanted to express her thoughts and feelings more than to endure and suppress them.
"I'm going to go to bed."
Not wanting to continue making unreasonable demands, Ai Lei pursed her lips, stood up and left.
Amber and Ritsuka looked at each other and could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Realizing this, Lixiang couldn't help but feel a little funny. The more he came into contact with the immortal, the more he could feel that the immortal was not cold-hearted. Under that cold and detached appearance, there was actually a warm heart, but the immortal was not very good at expressing it.
Time quickly came to morning.
Lixiang couldn't resist the sleepiness after all, or he knew that in order to stay alert, even three or four hours of sleep was necessary, so he forced himself to fall asleep in the second half of the night.
After everyone gathered their spirits, they discussed how to sneak into Quetzal's temple. The best time would of course be when Quetzal set out for Uruk again. At that time, the temple would be unguarded and everyone could destroy it at will. However, Ritsuka rejected the idea.
After thinking about it and making up his mind last night, Ritsuka did not intend to directly destroy the temple.
Just like his conversation with Ishtar, he hoped to win over the entire Quetzal to his side.
If this is the case, it will be impossible to get the goddess's recognition and help without responding to her enthusiasm face to face.
Chaldea has never been a decision-making agency, but rather an auxiliary agency. The person it assists is of course Ritsuka, who is the last master of mankind and has experienced six singularities.
In the singularity, Ritsuka's meaning is, of course, also Chaldea's.
Merlin certainly had no objection. Although he hoped to safely retrieve the Holy Grail and pass through this singularity, the location of the Holy Grail was still a mystery. In order to deal with the biggest possible crisis, a complete Quetzal was definitely more worthy of being included in the team than a weakened Quetzal.
In this way, with the mentality of head-on confrontation, everyone, led by the leopard man, stepped into Eridu, the city where the Temple of Quetzal was located.
Today is a bit slow too! Only one more update! Red bean paste, gomina! (Bow)
But tomorrow will be completely fine, everyone let me have a good sleep today! I haven't had a good sleep for several days!
Chapter 34: The Contradictory Quetzalcoatl
"You guys are here."
After passing by a row of square pillars made of stone, they finally saw the huge altar at the end. The altar had thousands of steps, and at the top was a huge round stone statue.
At this time, Quetzal was standing in front of the stone statue and looking at everyone. The smile on his face was gentle, but it also revealed a hint of danger.
"If you were planning to destroy my temple while I'm away, I might actually kill someone," Quetzal explained the reason for her happiness. "To face a powerful enemy head-on without flinching is what makes humans so endearing. The time I've wasted waiting here, trusting you, is now worth it."
As he spoke, Quetzal's expression became extremely terrifying.
"We're here to talk!"
Li Xiang made his purpose clear from the beginning.
"Conversation, indeed. Whether it's the Red Kite Immortal or Ishtar, the Venusian goddess, it seems they're both aided by your efforts to win them over through words." Quetzal smiled. "But I'm different. What I want to do cannot be swayed by words alone."
Words alone cannot shake it, in other words there are other ways.
Noticing that the goddess didn't seem so unreasonable, Ritsuka showed a look of surprise, but soon his expression turned serious: "So, how can we get Quetzal to join us?"
"Haha, I don't mind such straightforward questions and answers." Quetzal's smile widened a little, but soon faded again. "However, unfortunately, this is something you (humans) need to explore on your own. Just consider this a test of the goddess's capriciousness. Besides... I think I saw a silly little face in the crowd that shouldn't be there."
She turned her gaze towards the leopard man who had joined Chaldea yesterday and was acting as a guide today.
The leopard man shuddered and protected Amber in front of him: "Oh no... If I get involved in the battle, I will definitely be killed first..."
"Of course, I won't hesitate to tear you into pieces~" Quetzal smiled brightly. "Since you've come here, it means you're here to destroy the temple, right? And so are this Master and this Immortal. Should I defeat you, or can you destroy the temple before I defeat you?"
"Is this the test?" Ritsuka asked.
"Hmm~ Does it count? I can't tell you the answer directly until the mystery is fully revealed." Quetzal didn't intend to explain, but said, "But before that, I have a request."
Seeing everyone's seriousness, Quetzal suddenly smiled and said, "Let's enjoy the battle without reservation~"
"She is the kind of person who enjoys fighting and is happy because of fighting." Ishtar's mouth twitched. Although in the eyes of others she was a psychotic goddess who liked to solve problems with force, in fact she did not feel any joy in fighting.
Fighting is just one of her ways to get happiness.
"I'm sorry, I can't enjoy fighting," Ritsuka said.
"I agree with you on this point." Amber nodded.
Anna and Mash also nodded, but Merlin, the funny guy, did not express his opinion. Anyway, he had never been taken seriously by the goddess from the beginning to the end.
"Ah... I'm almost frozen from excessive sadness. It's like a complete denial of me."
His only request was directly denied. Quetzal showed a sad expression, but quickly recovered and asked, "Why do you say that? What is fighting to you?"
"It is something that must be overcome in order to gain the happiness after the battle." Ritsuka's meaning is very clear. Fighting never brings happiness, but is instead a torment.
Quetzal frowned and looked at Amber beside him.
'That's contradictory.'
Amber and Fu Hua have been observing Quetzalcoatl, not just today, they have been discussing it all night long.
As the pinnacle of goodness, Quetzalcoatl is undoubtedly a good deity. Legend has it that she strongly opposed rituals of human sacrifice, and occasionally appeared as the king of men to guide the path of mankind. Her actions all prove this point. Her goodness is not "goodness to God", but "goodness to people".
While she opposed live sacrifices, she demanded a male be sacrificed for her every day in Ur, although she later learned through the Leopard People that these men did not die as sacrifices.
As the king of humans, she certainly understands what humans are. However, even though she knows what humans are, she actually says that playing with humans is her value of existence, and she even keeps humans in captivity.
She acknowledged that "some can fight, some cannot, and this breadth of tolerance is a unique characteristic of human society," but now she says, "I hope we can enjoy the joy of fighting."
If she were a goddess like Ishtar, prioritizing herself over morality, then these actions would be fine, but as I said before, her kindness is 'human kindness'.
"Ritsuka and I have the same idea," Amber said.
This Quetzalcoatl was speaking inconsistently, had unspoken truths, and was telling lies to conceal the truth.
"I see, you're such humans... What a brilliant answer, so brilliant that I want to kill you."
After hearing the two people's answers, Quetzal's originally gloomy face turned into a smile again.
It wasn't a dangerous smile, but one that truly came from the heart of happiness, and this could be confirmed through Yu Duchen Fu Hua.
"There's no point in talking so much, let's get started!" Quetzal stopped talking nonsense and jumped down from the altar, landing heavily in front of Amber. In her eyes, in this battle, apart from the two of them, everyone else could only be spectators at best.
Although Ishtar is very powerful, this strength is relative. If you want to participate in their battles, you must at least be at the level of the main god of Sumer.
Compared to the main god, Ishtar, who only has a part of the main god's power, is meaningless even if she can be called the strongest god under the main god, even if she has the local bonus at this time.
Amber didn't mean to waste time talking. He ignited an inky flame in his hand and entangled with Quetzal.
The battle is about to break out.
"Mashu! Anna! Ishtar! I leave the battle to you!" Ritsuka also knew that Quetzal was no match for him. According to the Immortal himself, their fighting skills were basically the same, and he was stronger in physical fitness. However, in actual fighting, since they couldn't hurt each other, they would be forced to a 50-50 draw by exchanging injuries for injuries.
A body with the Garuda gene should not be afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries, but... the one using the body is not Fu Hua, but Amber.
Although his injuries would heal instantly, the pain was real. Even though he was beaten by Fu Hua for a long time, Amber did not have the mentality of an iron-blooded warrior, so he would naturally defend himself whenever possible.
This also makes it difficult to determine the winner in the battle between the two.
Therefore, Ritsuka could only hope that others could tip the scales of victory, and instead of getting in the way here, he might as well go straight to the altar and destroy Quetzal's Noble Phantasm.
Quetzal is indeed difficult to write and took me a lot of time, but Kodachi still has a lot of problems. Even if it is difficult to write, it should be possible to write it. Kodachi is not a question of whether it can be written or not. I wrote it directly according to my own understanding. I wrote it, and the most disgusting thing is that I wrote it distortedly.
Then, I discussed the next world with the authors in the author group. It should be Jujutsu Kaisen. Do you have any recommended characters?
Chapter 35 The Real Threat
Quetzal watched Fujimaru Ritsuka walking away, the smile on his face growing more intense, and when he glanced at Merlin standing leisurely beside him, he felt a little disgusted.
But soon, this disgust was interrupted by the oncoming fist.
He quickly turned his head to avoid the jab and bent his knees. His body bounced like a spring and leaped over Amber, knocking the leopard man who was trying to launch a sneak attack away with one punch. He was about to continue chasing him when he was interrupted by Amber's approaching fist.
Although she has an outrageous resistance, it does not mean that she can completely ignore Amber's attacks.
She just won't be hurt, but the inertia caused by the force cannot be weakened.
"It seems like you are finally serious?" Quetzal smiled at Amber.
"My duty is only to hold you back, but it would be different if you wanted to hurt my companions," Amber replied.
"But it's me, the big sister, who's going to get hurt, even though I can't be hurt."
Quetzal winked playfully.
"What are you hiding?" The two men exchanged fists and feet, and they had already exchanged hundreds of moves in just the time it took to talk. From time to time, black and golden flames spread from the two men, making it impossible for anyone to get close to them. Even the rocky ground beneath their feet melted in large areas due to the high temperature.
Everyone became more aware that when the two of them really got serious, only Ishtar would be able to intervene in their fight.
But Ishtar just frowned and did not continue attacking.
Although she was extremely reluctant to admit it, the battle between the two was no longer something she could influence. Even if her ranged support hit, what good would it do? To Quetzal, it was just a few grains of sand or dust.
Even if he really released his divinity, not to mention that it would affect Ritsuka, even without considering this, Quetzal would at most be repelled due to his enormous strength.
Return to the battlefield between the two.
Hearing Amber's question, Quetzal's smile became even more mysterious: "Merlin should know this kind of thing very well, but it's a pity that guy never intended to tell you."
"Merlin?"
Amber and Fu Hua knew very well that Merlin was hiding something from them and even from Chaldea, but they thought it was a secret among their companions and did not ask any further questions.
But now it seems that Quetzal also looks very clear, which is different.
"Ah...even this can attract my hatred." Merlin was a little helpless.
It's not that he deliberately concealed it, but if his plan succeeded, then there would be no need to bring this matter up.
In fact, all the current enemies are not the biggest threat to this singularity. The real threat is Tiamat, who is sleeping in the singularity and has not yet awakened. The reason why he is so incompetent now is largely because he is using 90% of his magic power to construct a dream for Tiamat.
However, he didn't expect that Quetzal also knew this.
Merlin's expression was a little strange. If Quetzal knew this, then most of Quetzal's contradictions would make sense.
"What exactly are you hiding?" Seeing the expressions of the two, Amber called Fu Hua to unfold Yu Duchen without slowing down his movements.
This time is different from the previous casual use of Xia Yu Du Chen, but it is deployed at full power.
The moment Yu Duchen unfolded, everyone except Ritsuka stopped moving at the same time. Although it was only a short 0.01 second, it was enough for Amber to see all of Quetzal's thoughts.
Why is he so conflicted? Why does he love humans but not attack the Gorgons who kill humans?
