In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

"Isn't it too quiet?"

The noise from the direction of Huanle Street was very loud, which is normal, since that's where people gather.

But why... did I not see a single member of my clan on my escape route?

Ishtar looked around. The building was familiar, but there wasn't a single member of her clan in sight. As a result, Ishtar couldn't even find someone to take her place in death.

And for some reason, the wind around them had picked up, giving Ishtar a bad feeling, and she quickened her pace.

"Coming!"

Once I turn just one more corner, I'll be able to hide in the crowd. Those guys who value their reputations will definitely not lay a hand on me!

Just as Ishtar turned the corner, something slammed into her face, causing the already disheveled goddess to spit blood from her nostrils.

"Ugh—!"

Even a goddess would be unable to withstand a sudden, heavy blow to the nose, since there is no divine protection at this moment, and they are just mortals.

"Sorry, the entertainment street is already full and there is no room for more people to go in."

Barbara, in an abstract way, gripped the barrel of the Sky AK like a baseball bat, delivering a devastating blow to Ishtar, sending the goddess, who was about to escape, back into the shadows where no one could see her.

"Where are they? Where have they all gone?"

"Friline, and the rest of you, why didn't you come to save me?"

Ishtar called out the names of every high-ranking member of her clan, but no one responded, as if she were not the chief deity of Ishtar's clan at that moment.

"There's no need to call them anymore, because those people are no longer in this world... For them, this is perhaps the best ending."

Barbara spoke very calmly, as if she were talking about something trivial.

The Ishtar Familia committed numerous atrocities, and there was nothing worth remembering about them for her; they were memories that even Furi despised!

Barbara simply flew through the air, aimed at most of the Ishtar Familia, and easily wiped them out; it was nothing difficult at all.

After all, how could an adventurer of mortal status possibly stop Barbara, who is empowered by the gods of wind and time?

Therefore, most members of the Ishtar Familia, guided by time, returned to their original state of life, as if they had never come into the world at all…

To put it simply, it's like saying, "I should have sprayed you on the wall back then, so you wouldn't have to pay so much for rice."

"How is this possible? How could you have lost my entire clan in such a short time..."

Ishtar wanted to say something more, but her expression changed immediately after sensing the power emanating from Barbara.

The reason why the children of God are special is that they can use the power of the gods without having to worry about being detected and sent away by the gods.

Regardless of whether the gods in the Genshin Impact world and the DanMachi world possess the same divine power, even if they did, Barbara would still be unable to be repelled back to the divine realm due to her human identity.

"Is it 'wind'... and 'time'? How could you possibly possess both of these powers?"

The power surrounding Barbara was easily discernible to any deity.

Wind element might not be a big deal, after all, this world has magic, and it's not surprising that most mages know some wind magic.

But "time" is different. How could such a terrifying power, which involves rules, be easily obtained by humans?

Even the son of God couldn't do it!

"Let me go! I can pretend this never happened. Don't push us to the brink of destruction!"

Ishtar's expression was quite ferocious, which meant that she was bluffing, since those who truly want to win do not have smiles on their faces.

Only losers become hysterical.

"Are you mistaken, Goddess Ishtar?"

"It seems like I have the upper hand now!"

Barbara's approach represents an absolute threat to Ishtar. If she cannot stop her advance, she will become the last victim tonight!

"There's no other way. I wasn't planning on using it this early... You forced me to do this, my savior!"

Ishtar had been lurking in the pleasure quarters for years and knew it inside and out. She had even made several preparations to pull another goddess, Freya, off her throne. Now that Barbara had ruined things, Ishtar no longer needed to hold back!

"Come forth, my 'Heavenly Bull'!"

Ishtar hurriedly pulled something out of her pocket and casually tossed it forward, looking just like Ash throwing a Poké Ball.

Soon, a Pokémon, Bull of the Sky, appeared in front of Barbara and launched an attack without hesitation.

"You didn't expect that, did you? This is the product of my combining fallen fairy essence and monsters at a great cost!"

"Its strength is comparable to that of a level 7 adventurer. You have no chance of defeating my Heavenly Bull!"

Ishtar's tone was full of confidence, but what she saw next was Barbara raising her gun.

"A formidable monster, yet it appears so fragile before the truth..."

"Ada da da da..."

"I am Justice Man!"

The monster, which looked so powerful, lasted less than 5 seconds in front of Barbara before turning into a magic stone and falling to the ground, leaving Ishtar dumbfounded.

"Where is my Heavenly Bull?"

"What about me, such a huge bull of heaven?!"

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 48 I Don't Care!

"My heavenly bull!"

After a brief moment of panic, Ishtar suddenly widened her eyes. Although she was in a state where her divine power was sealed, her divine insight still remained.

Was he instantly killed?

Unlike the Bull of Heaven in the FGO world, which is a creation of the gods, the Bull of Heaven in the DanMachi world is merely a fusion of a monster from the DanMachi world and a fallen fairy.

The fusion of a Fallen Fairy and an ordinary monster already grants it at least level 7 strength, and this specially crafted Heavenly Bull from Ishtar even possesses level 8 strength.

With just this one cow, Ishtar is able to contend with the entire Freya Familia, or at least remain undefeated.

However, this monster, which was no less powerful than a level 8 monster, was instantly killed?

Son of God, Son of God…

Damn Son of God!

Suddenly remembering the other party's identity, Ishtar's face twisted in pain, for she realized that she was doomed!

"No! I won't go back like this!"

The elegance and grace of the goddess vanished from Ishtar, replaced by utter hysteria.

"Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to take a few people with us!"

"Come forth, seeds of fallen fairies!"

"Kill everyone in the entertainment district!"

"Aren't you the savior? Go and save those people for me!"

The power of the Son of God filled Ishtar with immense fear, so the mad goddess took an even more insane action, directly summoning all the remaining fallen fairies in an attempt to massacre the entire Pleasure District.

boom--!

Near the Pleasure Street, Ishtar had already planted the seeds of Fallen Fairy Essence. With just a command from the goddess, these monsters could be activated and launched outwards from the Pleasure Street.

That was the original plan, but Ishtar can't care about that now. There's no time to attack outwards, so it's better to attack inwards...

This joyous street was built by Ishtar herself, and she consumed countless resources to create this prosperous street.

Rather than let someone else take over this street after He dies, He would rather destroy everything here Himself!

Including the people strolling around in the entertainment district!

how is it?

Savior!

Didn't you want to kill me?

You certainly have the ability, but what happens after that?

The Fallen Fairies may not be a match for you, but for the people of Pleasure Street, they are a natural disaster!

I'll make you watch as innocent people of Orario are killed by monsters! I'll make you watch as the city is engulfed in flames!

I want you to remember this forever…

You can't save others!

All I could do was watch others get killed!

The goddess's hysteria is indeed a terrifying thing. Ordinary people simply cannot resist it. Even high-level adventurers must consider their own strength.

But as luck would have it, Barbara was no ordinary person.

"Is this what a goddess is? How pathetic..."

As Barbara looked at Ishtar, pity gradually crept into her eyes, and she even stopped what she was doing for a moment.

The gods in the world of DanMachi are supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent, but these very gods, after coming to the lower realm, reveal all sorts of ugly side of themselves.

If that's the case, why do the gods come down to the mortal realm?

Perhaps, as they say, the heavens are simply too boring.

Or perhaps the gods in their "omniscient and omnipotent" state have limitations that are unimaginable to humans, which makes them unwilling to return?

But no matter what, Barbara would not let Ishtar go, because given Ishtar's personality, she would definitely seek revenge.

However, before sending Ishtar away from this world, Barbara will let the goddess witness the despair of reality firsthand.

A whirlwind swirled around Ishtar, robbing her of her mobility, but it also allowed the goddess to see further and to see the fallen fairy spirits she had released.

"what are you up to?"

"No! Stop it!"

Seemingly realizing something, Ishtar suddenly started yelling and screaming, frantically pounding the wind walls around her.

But the wind wall remained completely still, and like the walls of the Wind Dragon Ruins, it bounced Ishtar back.

“Ishtar… when she first became the ‘Savior,’ I actually refused, because I didn’t know if I could truly save those people.”

"I am not a saint. My gentle and kind appearance is all an act. The real me doesn't care about these things at all."

The girl's voice echoed around, causing Ishtar to stop moving, but then the goddess's expression changed completely.

The role-playing task has been forcibly terminated. Even if Barbara completely abandons the role-playing task, she will not be punished or rewarded.

Even so, she still wanted to pretend to be a gentle and kind girl to save those in danger.

why?

"You evil gods, or those wicked people, feel excited and pleasured when you hurt others, right?"

He aimed his Sky AK at the vicinity of Pleasure Street, precisely where the dust-filled, Fallen Fairy Spirits had appeared.

Even without aiming, it can eventually hit the target.

"Since you'll be happy about this, then I will absolutely not let you have your way!"

"You want me to watch those innocent people die? Then I'll show you how I save them!"

Saving others is not done voluntarily.

I just don't want to see those evil people or gods deriving pleasure from harming others.

"I only feel happy when I think about the expressions on people like you after it's all over!"

click!

With the trigger pulled, several attacks imbued with whirlwinds easily traversed the distance of Pleasure Street and struck the Fallen Fairy who had just emerged from the ground.

These wretched monsters had just awakened from their slumber when they were confronted by a powerful enemy they could not match. They were defeated in one blow, without even getting a clear look at their opponent's face.
