Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Samael was probably the last ray of light she tried to grasp as she ran towards the light, craving the love and appreciation of others.

But even this last bit of struggle was taken away by her own older sister.

Rin Tohsaka realized the crux of the problem, her face showing shame and reluctance, and she subconsciously began to defend herself.

"Sakura, calm down. Let me explain. It's not what you think. Actually..."

"Shut up!"

However, after being neglected and abandoned time and time again, the usually submissive nobody had gone almost insane and was no longer willing to listen to any explanations.

Especially when the rebuttal came from the older sister opposite her, the one she admired and envied.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

This lukewarm warning is downright ironic.

"Ishtar, since you have taken everything from me, then I will take back what you crave!"

The God of Love, his eyes blazing with jealousy and rage, was surrounded by a swirling red and black aura, like a demon king emerging from hell, intent on declaring war on the gods of heaven.

"Hmph! Just watch, I will obtain the Holy Grail and reclaim everything that is rightfully mine!"

At the same time, Kama bent his fingers and drew his bow, and countless fluttering petals condensed between the bowstring into a magnificent flower arrow.

Seeing the situation gradually spiraling out of control, and with her own sister about to turn against each other with swords, Rin Tohsaka was at her wits' end and hurriedly tried to persuade her with earnest words.

"Sakura, don't be impulsive, can you let me finish what I have to say!"

"Whoosh!"

However, Kama remained unmoved, a cold smile playing on his lips. Arrows shaped like flowers shot mercilessly from between his fingers, their petals falling in dense, fluttering droplets like thousands of whirling blades as they hurtled towards the two goddess sisters on the back of the Heavenly Bull.

Caught off guard, Rin Tohsaka was suddenly enveloped by layers of fluttering petals, in imminent danger.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

Just then, a gun wheel wrapped in red and black lightning shot out diagonally from behind, dancing in the air and scattering all the shooting petals with a clanging metallic sound.

"Don't you understand? You can't persuade her now!"

Eresh reached out and pulled Rin Tohsaka, who was trying to reason with her, and glanced at the fallen god who was suspended in mid-air, covered in blood-red light, and gave a light snort of reminder.

"What should I do?"

Seeing that the sisters were about to kill each other, Rin Tohsaka panicked.

"If reasoning doesn't work, the first thing to do is to calm her down."

Ereshkigal hummed softly, her gaze flickering as she looked at Rin Tohsaka.

"As for the effects, you should know them all too well..."

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka, who understood the implied meaning, stiffened, her facial muscles twitched slightly, and a shiver ran through her body from the depths of her soul.

During the Age of Gods, in the years before she was integrated into humanity, the original Ishtar once stormed into the underworld and caused a great disturbance.

As for the result, naturally, the goddess of the underworld who came to "reason" with him skewered him into dried meat and hung him in the temple to dry until he lost all temper.

Although it wasn't a pleasant memory, the specific methods used seem to offer some lessons.

However, using such methods to deal with one's own younger sister, whom one seems to owe a great deal to, seems a bit too much.

"What are you waiting for? Do you think we're the only ones who've encountered an accident?"

Just as Rin Tohsaka hesitated, a cold, deep voice beside her ear startled the goddess of heaven. Immediately, a resolute glint appeared in her eyes, and she raised her hand and roared.

"Maanna, open the gates, fire all missiles!"

Instantly, the bowstring of the Heavenly Bow, having heard the divine decree, stretched to its limit. Intertwined magic arrays appeared in front of the bow, overlapping and forming several rings resembling giant cannons. Beams of frantically converging and compressed magic power formed shooting arrows of light, bombarding Kama in mid-air one after another.

"You think you can deal with me with this? Hmph, how arrogant!"

Kama frowned and sneered, his five fingers plucking the strings of a pipa as if playing a lute. The small, short bow woven from flowers and grass in his hand fired forward like a machine gun, and the fluttering petals fell like a meteor shower, neutralizing and obliterating the light arrows of the Heavenly Bow Maana.

"Then what about including me!"

As Ai Lei wielded her gun, which was crackling with crimson lightning, she slammed it into the ground while silently chanting.

Unleash the magic (threshold)!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Instantly, the ground trembled and hummed, and beams of crimson light, resembling long spears, rose from the ground, forming a cage that seemed to seal off Kama in mid-air.

Damn it, one is annoying enough, but there are two of the same thing!

Damn, damn, damn!

Kama stared at the faces of Rin Tohsaka and Ereshkigal, who looked exactly alike and whose words and actions were remarkably in sync, even more like sisters than she had ever seen. Her crimson eyes blazed with fury, and she grew increasingly enraged. She immediately gripped the blood-red, thorn-like spear and roared in fury.

"The light of endless suffering, the flame of love and desire!"

In an instant, clusters of red and black flames condensed from Kama's fingers and palms, like the lingering flames of love, and spread along the light-shaped spear wheel to the entire cage, burning it to a thousand holes in the blink of an eye.

"Moo!"

However, just as Kama successfully destroyed the spear cage and was about to break free, accompanied by a muffled roar, a bolt of azure lightning, like an angry dragon swooping down, struck her directly on the head.

The god of love, who appeared to be in a frenzy, was then engulfed in a dense mass of azure lightning.

"Well done, Unit Two!"

Seeing that she had succeeded in her attack, Rin Tohsaka gave her beloved pet a look of approval with a sigh of relief. She then flew forward, intending to pull up Sakura Tohsaka, who had been severely injured by the combined attack.

"Stop pretending, get out of here!"

But just as Rin Tohsaka was about to approach the patch of azure lightning, accompanied by an angry roar, the space contracted rapidly and then exploded.

"boom!"

The raging ethereal tide sent the unsuspecting Goddess of Heaven flying. The continuous shockwaves caused the out-of-control Rin Tohsaka to tumble several times in mid-air before she could barely regain her footing.

"Sakura, stop. With your strength, you can't defeat us..."

Looking at the God of Love, whose clothes were tattered and whose mouth was dripping with blood, yet who still stood stubbornly upright, a trace of pity flashed in Ai Lei's eyes, and he gave a soft advice.

As the twin goddesses of Mesopotamia, she and Ishtar wielded the powers of heaven and earth respectively, and their combat strength was among the best even among the many gods.

In theory, the two of them working together are far beyond the capabilities of a mere ancient Indian god of love.

"Power? You are the fools who know nothing about power! Do you really think I am inferior to you in every way? How laughable! Now, I will show you what true terror is!"

However, Kama, who stood suspended in mid-air, did not get angry but laughed, his eyes full of mockery and coldness.

Immediately, the petite goddess with silver hair and red eyes raised her hand to wipe away a trace of blood from the corner of her lips. Her slender jade feet stepped over the falling petals, each step like a lotus blooming. She stretched out her arms and gave a chilling laugh.

"Without form or self, one is free to transform!"

Instantly, the little girl, who was originally less than 1.5 meters tall, gradually grew taller as she stepped through the void, transforming from an innocent child into a pure young girl, and then from a pure young girl into a bewitching adult woman.

The silver hair at the back of his head also grew rapidly, reaching waist length and becoming as thick as a waterfall.

The dazzling halo of light that converged on her head solidified into several intertwined, peculiar horns, adding a touch of cold elegance and allure to the once-goddess of love.

Then, the slowly opening arms seemed to embrace the entire world, immersing it in boundless love and desire, causing it to sink and fall into depravity.

At the same time, the lotus petals scattered from all directions transformed into goddesses lying down and standing up, each with a different posture, yet all exuding enchanting beauty; expressing a myriad of emotions, from joy and anger to sorrow and resentment, each captivating the heart.

In an instant, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka, surrounded by countless laughing and cursing figures, looked at the overflowing love that filled the entire world, and felt their five senses being constantly invaded and stripped away, their faces filled with disbelief.

No! This is not merely the ancient Indian god of love who was reduced to ashes by a single blow from Shiva, but rather...

A moment later, the lingering echoes in their minds and the scene before them startled the two goddesses, who had read many myths in modern times. Their pupils contracted sharply, and they were horrified. They stammered out the real answer.

The Sixth Desire Heaven, the Realm of Other-Transformation—the Heavenly Demon Mara!

Chapter 194 Poker Battle?

Kama's other name is Mara, the demon king who is the embodiment of afflictions. The two are regarded as different aspects of the same being.

Therefore, some people regard Kama and Mara as two sides of the same coin.

The etymology of Moro is believed to be "murderer".

It has also been translated as "demon", "heavenly demon", "demon king", etc.

In Buddhism, he is the "Sixth Heaven Demon King" residing in the sixth heaven of the six desire heavens—the Paranirmitavasavartin heaven, also known as Mara or Demon Mara.

According to the *Samyutta Nikaya*, among the gods of the Desire Realm, Mara is the foremost and is the greatest enemy of the enlightened one.

Its power is evident even from a glimpse of it.

Legend has it that when the Awakened One attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Mara tried every means to hinder him.

Three beautiful girls were sent.

Throwing fire discs, dropping rocks or weapons,

Let the monsters attack, the torrential rain and fierce winds...

However, the enlightened one transformed the thrown disc and weapon into flowers, and his enlightenment was not prevented.

Why is Mara like this? Because the Buddha's teachings eradicate desire and attachment, thereby freeing one from the realm of desire and the demonic realm, causing Mara sorrow and distress.

Just as Kama, who hindered Shiva, later Mara, who hindered Shakyamuni, seems to have evolved from this.

Therefore, Kama is also defined as an entity that "hinders practitioners".

Perhaps it can be said that Kama/Mara is a god/demon who simultaneously embodies both the good and evil aspects of the concept of "love".

In a daze, the countless figures swirling and dancing around them, colorless and formless yet infinitely varied and alluring, each captivating and mesmerizing, along with the colossal rift tearing through the sky above and the endless light plummeting from the heavens, caused a sudden flash of inspiration in the minds of Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka, who were still in shock. Their previous doubts were suddenly resolved.

"That accident at the amusement park was because of you!"

"Hmph, it seems you're not too stupid after all."

The demon god, floating in mid-air, raised an eyebrow and a cold smile appeared on his upturned lips.

Mara, also known as the Lord of All Demons, is the undisputed King of All Demons, and is the embodiment of nothingness and destruction.

Coincidentally, Sakura Tohsaka, who serves as the vessel, possesses an extremely rare and pure "imaginary number" attribute.

Magicians with the ability to perceive the imaginary dimension can connect to it and can open it from anywhere by consuming magic power, bridging another dimension.

The accident at the amusement park was caused by Sakura Tohsaka, who was the embodiment of God, accumulating negative emotions to a critical point after being repeatedly neglected. She unintentionally awakened to this state but was unable to control herself, thus brewing a catastrophe.

In reality, it was just an unintentional mistake.

However, Kama at this moment had no interest in defending himself. He stretched out his arms, which were brimming with starlight, and made a frenzied declaration.

"Enough, I'm tired of this boring conversation. It's time to let you all drown in this ocean!"

In an instant, the thousands of alluring figures that had been sitting, lying, or reclining seemed to hear the Demon Lord's command. They adopted various postures, some resentful, some joyful, some adoring, and some sorrowful, and swarmed towards the two goddesses trapped in this world.

The battle of myths is about to begin!

———————————Plot Break—————————————

"boom!"

At the same time, a whooshing sound suddenly rose on the mountain road, and the speeding African pickup truck immediately braked and came to a stop amidst the billowing dust.

"Ughhhh, why did the Holy Grail War turn out like this? I can't stand it!"

Amidst the violent jolting and shaking, Weber, feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, could no longer bear it. He grabbed his hair and grumbled in frustration as he pushed open the dilapidated car door, jumped out of the passenger seat, and prepared to go and check on what kind of trouble the crazy organizers were up to now.

"Don't go there!"

However, before Weber could take a step forward, a large, hairy hand pulled him back from behind. The hand on the rugged face was furrowed, and the brown eyes were fixed on the smoke-filled distance ahead.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

As the ground trembled and the dust settled, a heavy, tall figure came into view.

The skeleton formed from earth and stone supports a heavy body that is nearly two or three meters tall. The red light in the gem-encrusted eyes flickers eerily. The large, rotating limbs produce a dull creaking sound, and hard bone spurs extend from each joint.

This is... a clay and stone puppet!

And there was more than one...

As a muffled tremor arose around him, Weber couldn't help but look towards the dense forest where the mist was swirling. As his gaze fell upon it, the writhing stones and soil, pulled by some force, transformed into earthen golems, which surrounded the pickup truck that had abruptly stopped in the middle of the road from all directions.

"Hey Rider, is this obstacle included in the race?"

Sensing something was amiss, Weber instinctively shrank back and asked in a low voice.
