"How boring... The outcome of this battle was already predetermined. Gorgon was placed as a pawn, and a pawn that was bound to fall."

"What...do you mean by that?"

Jin Gu gradually sensed something was off about his words.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I won't be participating in tomorrow's war."

"What, are you scared?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm scared."

Cain readily acknowledged King's statement.

He helplessly spread his hands, making a resigned expression.

"It's a battlefield where the outcome is already predetermined. Whether I'm a variable or not is meaningless. Besides, what if I rashly enter and get accidentally killed by that white-haired, red-eyed monster?"

——Puff!

At that instant, Cain's body trembled violently.

The answer is simple.

Without showing any mercy or changing his expression, Jingu pulled out his heart.

Even Cain himself just smiled indifferently.

"See? Even if I do this, you still won't die."

Soon, the magma-like substance that had flowed from Jingu's hands returned to Cain's body, instantly healing him.

“You have no need to be afraid. Even if you are not strong enough to defeat that guy, it will still guarantee your survival. And don’t forget, there is still a covenant between you and me.”

"No, I have no reason to be afraid?... To be honest, you're quite good at joking."

Cain chuckled and patted the marks on his clothes that had just been damaged.

"Well, first of all, it's certain that I do possess this ability of immortality. So, what's next? I've already demonstrated this ability once in front of Accelerator."

He paused, and then, quite naturally, and as he had anticipated, said what followed.

"And then what? That guy isn't a brainless idiot with only strength. He can think. He can consider how his abilities can deal with my immortality. He can think about what can restrain my ability."

"Perhaps—by now, that guy has already found a special ability within himself that can counter my immortality?"

Therefore, in this situation, rashly appearing on a battlefield where one side is dominant is tantamount to suicide.

This ability to be immortal is indeed his greatest asset at present, but it is also his greatest threat.

Even if he only demonstrated the special nature of this ability to Accelerator once—even if it was just once—he didn't believe that Accelerator could continue to be helpless against him.

He knew who his opponent was, what kind of mind he had, and what kind of subtle thoughts he possessed.

All my abilities would become useless once I showed them to that guy.

"As for the alliance you mentioned? Ah, that's true. I have indeed allied with you, but not with the 'Three Goddess Alliance,' but with you alone."

"What are you saying? My will is Mother's will, then isn't that Gorgon—"

"Isn't it about time we ended this boring role-playing game?"

Cain yawned listlessly.

“Gorgon thinks he is Tiamat, he’s still dreaming, he’s just a pawn, and all you’re doing is playing a parent-child role-playing game with him.”

"..."

"My true purpose and vision extend far beyond such a narrow scope. That 'Three Goddess Alliance' is utter nonsense. You should know perfectly well what I'm truly after."

The instant Cain raised his hand, a fiery shadow appeared beside him.

That was Elherut, who had transformed into a lava monster.

"And that Gorgon guy, he's doing everything he can to make himself a replacement for Tiamat."

"...Don't you find it sad to think like that?"

Swah——

By the time Jin Gu looked ahead again, the person had already left.

Jin Gu stood still, pondering what he had just said.

…So, is it really just about Gorgon?

The green-clad figure gazes at the moonlight, yet no one will answer this question for him.

"...In any case, I will fight for Gorgon's wishes tomorrow, and that is something no one can change."

Chapter 626 Throwing a Hand Axe the Weight of the City

The battlefield for the second day was ready.

Bang! !

From the front gate of Uruk, even more turbulent shocks continued to assault the north wall.

More numerous and more powerful monsters.

The monsters roared and charged forward with their full power and momentum.

However, the soldiers of Uruk will not allow themselves to be slaughtered.

"...All personnel, listen to my command."

He has rested for about two days, which is enough time for him to return to the battlefield.

A true warrior would never weep over such a minor injury. As the king of Spartan warriors, he would never stand idly by while his soldiers, whom he had trained for days, went into battle, and he did nothing about it.

"Now, an even more ferocious army of monsters than it was a day and a half ago has arrived, but that doesn't matter! The warriors of Uruk will never back down!"

"Of course! King Leonidas!!"

Leonidas I, King of the Warriors of Sparta.

Having fully restored his body to its peak condition, this man, who was both a warrior and a king, returned to the battlefield.

"Very good, then everyone, muster your courage and unleash all your might!"

Leonidas shouted, just as he had done about two days before, leading the people of Uruk, wielding weapons and shields that were particularly effective against magical beasts.

They stood at the forefront of the battlefield.

"From this moment forward, the final offensive and defensive battle against the Warcraft front will officially begin!!"

The warriors roared at the king's command and charged together towards the horde of monsters that was larger than a tidal wave.

They brandished their guns and swords, weaving through the sea of ​​monsters, seizing every opportunity, never letting their guard down.

The endless hordes of monsters clashed with the warriors of Uruk.

This epic battle, which determined the fate of the Age of Gods, officially entered its climax.

Aside from the soldiers of Uruk, different people were also fighting against monsters in different areas on the left and right sides.

boom! !

"Hmm—I always feel like our work here is actually the most arduous, isn't it?"

That was a leopard-man who kept wielding his weapon, which resembled a cat's paw, slamming it down onto the ground from top to bottom, sending dozens of magical beasts flying in one go.

"These guys, while not individually very strong, are just too numerous! That's the biggest problem!"

"What? You don't actually want to fight the Gorgons and end up being turned into a stone statue, do you?"

Beside the leopard man, Quetzalcoatl responded coldly.

She blocked the leopard man's right side while grabbing the bodies of the two giant monsters with both hands.

Boom——

Using the bodies of the two monsters as weapons, Quetzalcoatl twisted his hands, and the ground beneath his feet instantly twisted and cracked under the downward pressure.

The monsters and the ground within a radius of about 100 meters were all blasted away in one go.

It can achieve such exaggerated destructive power simply by relying on its physical strength.

"The leopard stone sculpture isn't very interesting. Hmm, if you really were to be turned into a stone statue one day, I think I would smash that statue to pieces without hesitation, right?"

"Whoa! Kukul is so scary! I'm so glad I didn't choose to join the team that's going to kill Gorgon!"

Forest goddess, Leopard-woman; Venus goddess, Quetzalcoatl.

The two were fighting against countless monsters on the battlefield. Strength was not a problem; the trouble they were experiencing was simply due to the sheer number of monsters.

But then.

In the next instant, everything began to change.

--boom! ! !

Like a blizzard, a cold wave suddenly swept in.

In less than a second, hundreds, even thousands, of magical beasts were frozen in place.

Hatsune Miku.

Dressed in Snow Future 2019, she stood on a pillar made of ice, holding a magic wand in one hand and pointing towards an area thousands of meters ahead.

Click——! ! !

With her movements, all the frozen monsters turned to ashes.

"Leave the monsters to me, you two please deal with the next enemy!"

As soon as Hatsune Miku finished speaking, a figure shot straight down from the sky.

He crashed heavily to the ground.

The howling destructive force twisted and crushed the surrounding earth, while the storm it stirred up caused Quetzal and the leopard-man's clothes to flutter slightly.

"I see... So, the 'Three Goddess Alliance' has completely collapsed, hasn't it?"

Kingu, a powerful figure standing on the side of the Gorgon.

With Enkidu's appearance, he sneered, looking at Quetzal in front of him as if he had already predicted it.

"Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god of Venus... I initially treated you with the same respect I would show my mother, but in the end you still chose to side with humanity?"

"You've got it wrong. I never said from the beginning that I joined the 'Three Goddess Alliance' to destroy humanity, okay?"

Kingu shook his head, ignoring Quetzalcoatl's next words.

"What a pity... In that case, I have no choice but to eliminate you, goddess, along with all of humanity, right here."

"What arrogance! You think you can compete?"

The leopard-man, brandishing a weapon resembling a cat's claw, stood beside Quetzal.

The clash of auras between the three eventually escalated into a power struggle.

The battle, which took place between monsters and humans, far exceeded the human realm, and erupted directly in front of the gates of Uruk.

———————————————————————————————————

The plan for this battle is as follows.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, Matthew, Anna, Merlin, and the goddess Ishtar went together to the Blood Temple where Gorgon was located to fight him.

Having absorbed the power of the Holy Grail, Gorgon will likely become even stronger, and the speed at which he breeds magical beasts will also increase.

In this situation, if we disregard all of this and directly attack Gorgon, Uruk's northern wall will be attacked by even more monsters.

So before that.

They need to prioritize preparing a means of power capable of instantly shattering the divinity of the Gorgon.

Then, here comes the problem.

Marduk's hand axe, this divine weapon, can indeed weaken the divinity of the Gorgon; this can be done by smashing it onto the Temple of Blood.

Who should be responsible for this task?

Accelerator is currently standing atop a distant mountain.

From this vantage point, one can clearly see everything below, including the north wall of Uruk and the Blood Temple in the western forest.

No signal is needed, nor is any help from others.
