After using the magic furnace within his body to immediately heal her, Jin Gu quickly inquired about her condition.

And when this goddess opened her eyes.

The first figure she saw was the one standing not far away.

That white-haired, red-eyed monster is absolutely unforgettable.

"Cough—!!!"

Boom!! A massive amount of magical power exploded from her body in an instant.

Concentrating this power into a single point, the goddess's body prepared to charge forward relentlessly towards Uruk before her.

"There's no point in you rushing in now."

Cain's voice abruptly interrupted the goddess's actions.

"...What are you trying to say, human?"

The enormous shadow shook the ground, ignoring the utterly shocked Chaldea members before it, and turned its gaze toward Cain.

A pure coldness emanated from the deep purple snake eyes.

"Are you trying to say that I can't defeat him? Are you implying that I, Tiamat, the mother goddess of beasts, can't even defeat such a tiny human?!"

"I didn't say that, Goddess. But, the fact that you were defeated by that human is undeniable, isn't it?"

"—!!"

Seeing that the goddess seemed about to lose her temper, Cain immediately knelt down.

"But it won't do any good to take your anger out on me. Instead, you should pay more attention to your own situation."

His words made the goddess realize the current situation even more.

Although the Holy Grail's power temporarily healed the near-death injury, it still couldn't change the overall condition; it could only be considered a barely complete recovery.

To fully heal my body and restore my strength to its peak, it would probably take a whole day.

"One day, right? If I'm not mistaken, it will probably take you a day to recover your full strength. In that case, why not wait until we are fully prepared before fighting again?"

"..."

"You did lose to that human in a place like this, but you also didn't use your full strength. That's right... As long as you utilize the power of the Holy Grail, you will definitely be able to far surpass this guy in front of you. Whether it's Uruk or the other goddesses, they won't even be a threat! Isn't that right?"

Those devilish words, which seemed to plunge one into an abyss, immediately calmed the goddess down.

Simply launching attacks is meaningless.

The best choice is to understand everything on the scene and make reasonable judgments.

and so.

"I'll let you off this time, humans."

The towering goddess stared down at the crowd below with disdain.

"I will return to Uruk in one day, and that will be the day you humans are wiped out..."

"—Do you think I would let that kind of thing happen?"

bang——

Meanwhile, another figure charged forward without any mercy.

White hair, red eyes.

As the number one in Academy City, he defied all expectations and chose to attack.

Raise his right hand, and his merciless strike will pierce through the goddess's body and completely rip out her heart.

however.

Two enormous flames instantly engulfed Jingu and the goddess's bodies.

…It's that trick again. Accelerator looked at the scene before him and immediately thought of what he had experienced before.

In that mine, when Jingu's body disappeared, he did indeed encounter the same thing.

Meanwhile, what exactly is Cain doing, standing on the other side watching the show with amusement?

In this way, we can determine who did it.

Accelerator immediately pressed the necklace around his neck, and six dark black generators appeared behind him.

He then grasped the vectors of time and space.

That's a power effect that can even manipulate dimensions themselves. As long as the other party uses a method like spatial teleportation, there's no reason he can't stop it.

Boom! A beam of purplish-black light struck the two flames.

"…ah?"

Accelerator stood frozen in place.

After the two pillars of fire were dispersed, there was nothing inside.

There was no sign of Jingu or the goddess at all.

"I advise you to observe it a little longer."

Cain's voice came from below.

"This isn't a phenomenon that can be explained simply by mastering space and time. Also, the goddess's identity is definitely not the so-called Tiamat. You should have guessed the name Gorgon by now, right?"

But what he did at that moment was utterly baffling.

Standing before the Chaldeans, Cain calmly and without the slightest malice continued speaking.

"That guy's true form is Gorgon, but he only borrowed a little bit of Tiamat's power, which is why he can give birth to magical beasts. In other words, he's just an imposter."

"...What are you planning to do now?"

As Cain continued speaking, he felt a pure chill behind him.

The number one, who held the strongest position, had somehow moved up behind him.

I'm afraid that if I say even the slightest wrong thing, I'll be mercilessly pierced through the back of my heart.

"You should understand that relying on that so-called 'Three Goddess Alliance' will never win you any victory."

If Accelerator and Hatsune Miku are aware of this, then Cain has no chance of not being aware of it.

In other words, among the so-called "Three Goddess Alliance" today, there is Quetzalcoatl, who has already appeared, Gorgon disguised as the Beast Goddess, and another goddess whose identity is unknown.

Even if the combined strength of the three of them, plus the Holy Grail that plunged this era into chaos—

It still couldn't defeat Accelerator.

If Cain understood this principle, then from the very beginning, choosing to stand with the "Three Goddesses Alliance" was already a doomed outcome.

If that's the case...why? Is it simply because of the logic that 'since we can't win anyway, we might as well put up a fight'?

"…snort."

Cain clearly understood what Accelerator was trying to say.

and so.

He couldn't help but grin and look up at the sky.

"Haha ...

"You've got it wrong... You think the 'Three Goddess Alliance' and the real Tiamat are my trump cards for betraying you? You think I'm useless without them? No, no, you're wrong, terribly wrong!"

After a burst of laughter, Cain calmly addressed Accelerator behind him—and everyone else present—and said this.

"The methods I use to betray you are things that you ordinary guys could never even conceive of in your entire lives."

"That's it."

Now we can at least figure out why Cain was able to stand here.

First of all, the "Three Goddess Alliance" is not a pawn he uses to retaliate, nor is Tiamat, who has not yet appeared.

In Cain's hands, there still exists a power they are unaware of.

"Since you told me this yourself, I have no reason to delay any longer."

Puff——!!

Then, the Chaldea members stared in shock.

From behind him, a pale hand reached out directly from his heart.

Accelerator showed no mercy, delivering a fatal blow that instantly pierced Cain's core.

But what happened next?

The sensation flowing through his fingertips felt nothing like the touch of a human heart.

"What…?"

In front of the first person, Cain, who should have lost his heart, started moving again.

Moreover, it is at an ultra-high speed that conventional organisms simply cannot achieve.

"Master! Be careful, the enemy that should have lost its life force has started moving again!"

As he flashed past Matthew, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and the others, he left a colorless shockwave in his wake.

—Bang! !

After blocking all the impacts, Accelerator continued to stand in front of him.

This time, the wind blade shot up from the fingertips of the player in first place.

The gale, with wind speeds exceeding 756 kilometers per hour, instantly crushed Cain's body.

"...They really didn't hold back."

But in the instant everything vanishes.

His body, which should have collapsed, gradually recovered.

Just like that monster named Elherut, it took the form of lava.

Even when Hatsune Miku released ice powerful enough to affect space around her, it was still burned away by her flames.

“Of course I understand the situation, Gorgon… even if the entire ‘Three Goddess Alliance’ attacked together, you’d probably blast the whole planet away with it, wouldn’t you?”

"But that doesn't matter at all. To me, the so-called disadvantage is just a 'process'."

Wow.

After saying those words, Cain's body had already returned to its human form.

"In a war, no matter how disadvantageous the process or the initial situation may be, the most important thing is still the 'result'."

"As long as the outcome is not predetermined, no matter what disadvantages I may be in during the process, I still have the possibility of achieving victory... Don't forget that, okay?"

boom--

Flames then erupted around Cain, engulfing Elherut and his body.

Even the manipulation of time and space cannot affect the flames, and the ability to regenerate even after being blasted into nothingness.

In this situation, even if Accelerator were to kill Cain, it would only be giving him a chance to revive on the spot.

He could only watch as the other person slowly disappeared from the spot.

However, he was able to glean even more information from Cain's words.

"...That's all for today."

Although it's frustrating, overall, they've always had the upper hand.

Accelerator turned away unhappily, no longer looking at the spot where Cain had left.

The first clash between Uruk and the "Alliance of the Three Goddesses" in the Warcraft Front:

This marks the end.

And all of this is merely the prelude to the Warcraft Front.

Chapter 616: Marduk’s Hand Ax

With the arrival of Chaldea and the others, the first war against the monster faction came to an end.
