Hero? I'm just here to borrow power!

This once fertile plain has now been stained a deep black and dark red.

Tens of thousands... no, hundreds of thousands of black waves are crashing against the majestic defensive line that has been held for months.

The roars, the crashes, and the sounds of flesh being torn apart mingled together, creating a symphony of hell.

Behind that writhing carpet of monsters, an endless stream of the same number of twisted creations surged from the edge of the polluted horizon.

The first and most deadly wave of attacks was launched by Gorgon, the goddess who wielded the power of the mother goddess and personally controlled and gave birth to the magical beasts.

Her mere presence was enough to easily fill the vast ravine cleaved open by Bai Ye's illusory sword with terrifying divine power.

During this time, Leonidas, the Spartan king who attempted to use himself as a shield to stop her advance, along with his most elite Uruk soldiers, were reduced to dust under the overwhelming attack of the Mother Goddess.

When Leonidas was killed, the monster goddess Gorgon displayed an extraordinary level of petrification magic eye.

Simply by looking at them, the sturdy city walls and brave soldiers would instantly lose their color and turn into fragile stone sculptures.

Upon seeing those demonic eyes, Merlin, the magician who was assisting other Servants with illusions on the front lines, instantly sensed a natural enemy that could threaten his existence. He made a decisive move, withdrew from the front lines, and rushed to Kusa to find Byakuya and his group.

As a half-nightmare, Merlin is an immortal being, so he is not afraid of the mundane physical attacks of the monsters.

However, the petrifying demonic eye possessed by the Beast Mother Goddess Gorgon is the greatest nemesis of his immortality.

Originally, after killing Leonidas, the Beast Mother Goddess Gorgon could have easily led countless beasts to completely wipe out the Absolute Beast Front.

However, for some reason, when the taciturn purple-haired girl who had always been behind Merlin stepped forward, Gorgon, who had briefly fought with her, seemed to have been stung by some kind of deadly poison, letting out a shriek of shock and anger, and then retreated.

Therefore, thanks to the desperate fighting led by the remaining Servants and the Uruk soldiers, this precarious battle line was barely held up.

However, everyone knows that it is a very pessimistic fact that this crumbling defense line can only last for a short time.

The brave purple-haired girl was also seriously injured after taking a direct hit from Gorgon's attack, her spirit core was damaged, and she is now completely unable to fight.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group had returned to Uruk. After reporting all the battle situation to King Gilgamesh, who looked exhausted on the throne, Mash also joined the battle without hesitation.

Also joining the battle were the leopard-men, lesser gods who, after learning of the extreme urgency of the war, were personally "persuaded" by Quetzalcoatl and sent to Uruk.

Although Quetzalcoatl cannot personally fight Gorgon, the mother of monsters, due to the contract of the Three Goddesses Alliance, the leopard-man who was "subdued" by her wrestling skills is an exception.

However, the leopard-man, who weaved through the beast tide and tore the monsters to pieces with his claws, had a face full of unwilling complaints.

Although Mash, as a Demi-Servant, is not skilled in offense, her Noble Phantasm is highly specialized in defense. Under Fujimaru Ritsuka's precise command and relentless supply of magical energy, the unfolding pure white light wall became the most solid barrier on the city wall, blocking countless fatal attacks for the soldiers of Uruk.

Therefore, even with Lancer Leonidas's sacrifice and the massive chasm in the Warcraft front being filled, this scarred front is still barely holding on.

However, everyone knows that this is by no means a long-term solution.

Once the War Goddess Gorgon strikes again, it will be an undeniable and inevitable fact that this defensive line will be completely breached.

……

Three days passed in agony.

For the soldiers and servants defending the city, these three days were an unprecedentedly arduous battle, every minute and every second.

Lancer's death was far more than just the loss of a powerful fighter for this front.

As one of history's most famous defensive heroes, Leonidas, as a general, was able to maximize all the advantages of siege warfare.

Whether it's personnel allocation, resource consumption, or battle plan formulation, this Spartan king, who once led three hundred men against a Persian army of one hundred thousand, always managed to find the optimal solution for the current situation.

However, after the leopard man and Mash joined the battle, although the leopard man was much stronger than Leonidas in individual combat, the entire battle became more chaotic and passive day by day after losing Leonidas as the core of command.

King Gilgamesh has opened ninety percent of his Gate of Babylon, and countless magical artifacts, each containing a mystery, rained down from the sky, becoming ammunition for the "King's Horn Cannon" used to defend the city.

At this moment, he was working harder than anyone else. He had to deal with the mountain of government affairs in Uruk, while also remotely managing the deployment of personnel on the Absolute Demonic Beast Front, and supplying magic to the Servants.

Unlike Servants like Byakuya who have their own magical core, the magical energy consumed by Servants in the siege battle and the magician Merlin is actually drawn from Gilgamesh's body.

Therefore, even with his demigod-like body, Gilgamesh's face showed a faint trace of haggardness.

Three days later, with Saber still not back from the underworld, the enormous and terrifying shadow of the Beast Goddess Gorgon once again appeared at the edge of the Absolute Beast Front.

"A massive magical reaction has been detected in the west! The target is..."

Dr. Roman's warning voice suddenly rang out in Chaldea's communication device, filled with unprecedented tension.

However, he no longer needed to say the other person's name.

Because that terrifying figure, large enough to blot out the sun, had already been clearly seen by everyone on the city wall, including Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"The Mother Goddess of Beasts... Gorgon!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's orange pupils reflected the imposing figure of the other party. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms.

"Matthew!"

"Yes, senior!"

No extra dialogue is needed.

The unspoken understanding that had transcended life and death across several singularities had allowed both sides to instantly comprehend each other's resolve.

We must defeat the Demonic Beast Mother Goddess here! At all costs!

"I'm going to check on Anna's injuries. You all must hold the line."

Upon seeing Gorgon's figure, Merlin immediately and skillfully initiated a tactical retreat, disappearing into the flower petals in an instant.

"The opponent's spirit origin... is at the level of a chief god who has combined several divine attributes, meow! I'm no match for her, meow!"

As Gorgon's enormous figure slowly emerged from the distance, the leopard-man, after tearing apart several magical beasts that tried to climb the city wall with his claws, nimbly performed a backflip and retreated to the back of the city wall.

"My agreement with Kukul was to help you hold this front, but that doesn't include me dying here, meow."

Upon seeing Gorgon's figure, even this unruly god readily backed down.

It's normal for her to have such thoughts. In her eyes, the goddess slowly approaching from afar is a terrifying being who has combined the spiritual essence of three ancient goddesses.

Although as a god, his divinity and purity may not be as high as that of Kukulkan, also known as Quetzalcoatl, his incredibly vast and unfathomable spirit origin is, in the perception of the leopard people, undoubtedly a monster far more powerful than themselves.

The leopard-woman, like Quetzalcoatl, is a benevolent god who leans towards humanity and stands on their side. Otherwise, even if coerced by Quetzalcoatl with force, she would never have been so devoted to protecting this defense line that should have collapsed long ago.

However, facing the Beast Mother Goddess Gorgon, she knew clearly that without a powerful being with decisive strength to defeat her head-on, the sacrifice of her group at this moment would be completely meaningless.

However, this differed from the rational judgment of the leopard man.

Almost the instant Gorgon's figure appeared, a fierce shout filled with boundless rage rang out from the Absolute Demonic Beast Front.

"Goddess of Warcraft!"

A petite figure, like an arrow released from a bow, leaped down from the towering city wall in an instant! A flash of light, too fast for the naked eye to catch.

In an instant, the bodies of dozens of demonic beasts below were neatly torn in half, their blood and internal organs bursting out.

During the long months of battle, the young samurai named "Ushiwakamaru" had come to regard the steady and reliable King Leonidas as an older brother.

At this moment, facing the enemy who had personally annihilated Leonidas, she, as Uruk's vanguard and the only one on the field who showed no fear of this terrifying goddess, charged forward alone in an instant!

"Lord!"

Following closely behind was her ever-loyal retainer, Musashibo Benkei.

He wielded a massive naginata, descending from the city wall. The heavy blade moved with incredible speed and power, its edge tracing huge arcs as it instantly wiped out several demonic beasts attempting to flank Ushiwakamaru.

Without uttering a word, he resolutely joined forces with them in a desperate charge against the monstrous beast mother goddess Gorgon, who was like a natural disaster!

#I'll post three chapters first, and then I'll post more to make up for the ones I missed in the past few days#

Grand Order: Chapter 201 The Girl's Resolve

Noble Phantasm: Shana-o's Wandering Tale.

This is the true Noble Phantasm of the Servant Rider, Ushiwakamaru.

Shana-o was the Buddhist name of Ushiwakamaru when he became a monk, and the true meaning of this treasure is to materialize the "deeds and legends of Shana-o Minamoto no Yoshitsune" into the ability to fight.

At this moment, she liberated the first scene based on five legends and stories from her lifetime.

The first is—The Eye of Freedom: Seeing Through the Six Secret Teachings!

The moment she leaped into the black ocean of monsters, Ushiwakamaru didn't need to exert any extra effort to observe the battlefield. Her Noble Phantasm's "Heavenly Eye" allowed her to instantly see the entire battlefield in motion.

The enemy's movements, the location of her comrades, the blind spots of the attack, and the path to victory—everything was clearly reflected in her mind.

On her way to Gorgon, the mother of the monsters, countless monsters blocked her way, but with her ability to almost foresee the future, her body moved as nimbly and gracefully as a petrel through the storm.

She could ruthlessly sweep past any monsters that stood in her way, and then with a flash of her blade, the cold steel would cleave the writhing flesh in two.

Ordinary magical beasts are no match for this legendary genius warrior.

Moreover, Ushiwakamaru had her ever-loyal retainer by her side, clearing all obstacles for her. In just a moment, Ushiwakamaru traversed a battlefield of flesh and blood spanning thousands of meters, heading straight for the distant, mountain-like demonic beast mother goddess.

At this moment, Gorgon's massive, mountain-like body seemed to finally notice the insignificant "little bug" rushing towards it.

"Humph."

However, Gorgon merely let out a disdainful snort from deep within his throat.

Composite Divinity - Goddess of Warcraft.

Her real name is Gorgon. She has an ominous female body like a mountain, with a human head and a snake's body, and huge wings growing from her back.

She was a fallen goddess who was almost monstrous.

Its essence is Medusa, the most famous monster in Greek mythology and also the cursed goddess.

This terrifying form is the final appearance of her, after she has devoured and absorbed her two beloved sisters in grief and hatred, completely transforming into the legendary Gorgon sisters.

Even because she was in the final stage of her life, when she was about to completely transform from a goddess into a full-fledged monster, Gorgon in her limit state was at the peak of her divinity.

Although as a simple goddess, her status may not be as high as that of Quetzalcoatl or the goddess of the underworld, she appeared in this singularity and, by virtue of the unique characteristic of the fusion and transformation of divinity and demonic nature, forcibly elevated her spiritual foundation to the level of a chief god.

Gorgon didn't even bother to look at the young female warrior wielding a sword who was attacking him with incredible speed.

Her long, magnificent, deep purple hair instantly began to dance wildly, the strands converging and transforming into countless ferocious snake heads in the air, like a black rainstorm, fiercely attacking the location of Ushiwakamaru!

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted.

Each snake head, harder than steel, crashed into the ground, unleashing a violent tremor like an earthquake. The earth was blasted into countless deep craters, the soil cracked, and dust billowed up.

However, in this death jungle composed of countless snake heads, Ushiwakamaru's agile figure still exists.

"Don't even think about it!"

Musashibo Benkei held a huge naginata, his eyes wide with rage.

He exerted all his strength, wielding his long sword in a dazzling display of afterimages, creating a storm of steel around Ushiwakamaru, shielding her from most of the snake heads' attacks and creating a brief, circular opening amidst the rain of snake hair.

"Too slow, monster!"

Taking advantage of the brief opportunity created for him by Musashibo Benkei, Ushiwakamaru's long sword flashed with a cold light.

In an instant, she precisely severed countless snake heads that were falling from the sky, and the severed snake hairs turned into a highly poisonous purple mist in the air and dissipated.

The katana in Ushiwakamaru's hand displayed an astonishing sharpness far exceeding its specifications. Although her opponent was a terrifying being with a spirit origin at the level of a main god, she was able to easily cut off his snake hair with her long sword as if slicing melons and vegetables.

The reason is simple. The sword in Ushiwakamaru's hand is one of his treasures, "Shanaou Ruridan".

"Houmaru: Spider Slayer!" This sword is the famous sword used by Minamoto no Yorimitsu to slay the legendary great demon Tsuchigumo. It is also known as Spider Cutter.

In the world that Genjiro once experienced during the previous White Night, the weapon he used was also called this.

Despite being from different worlds, it's normal for the weapons of samurai from the same island nation to share similar legends.

After this sword was passed down to Minamoto no Yoshitsune, also known as Ushiwakamaru, it was renamed "Usunomiya". Nevertheless, it is still a weapon with a considerable level of mystery.

Therefore, it is only natural that it could harm Gorgon's divine body.

Countless snake heads turned into purple mist under Ushiwakamaru's extraordinary martial arts skills. At this moment, Ushiwakamaru went even further, soaring into the sky with a "whoosh." She actually stepped on Gorgon's huge snake body and rushed towards its head along its scale-covered body.

"Your enormous and ugly body is nothing but an obstacle!"

Ushiwakamaru showed absolutely no fear of this terrifying goddess.

Holding the famous sword, all she could think about was slaying the monster before her and avenging Leonidas.

"The second scene of Shana-o-Wu-Li-Tan! Thin Green - Heavenly Blade Shrinking Step!"

She stepped on the winding serpent's body, severing countless snake hairs that tried to entangle her. At this moment, Ushiwakamaru had already activated his Noble Phantasm again, and with a speed that could not be detected by the naked eye, he attacked Gorgon.

"As expected of Ushiwakamaru, he is the most famous samurai in Japan. If this move can successfully repel Gorgon, that would be even better."

In the control room of Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci, a genius observing the entire battlefield using the communication equipment of Fujimaru Ritsuka atop the city wall, sighed in admiration.
