The first person raised their hand and took out something stored in the system's inventory.

Boom-! ! !

Its sudden appearance alone caused the atmosphere and the ground to tremble.

When Accelerator grasped the enormous golden hand axe directly in his hand, its massive size pierced deep into the mountaintop beneath his feet, instantly cleaving the mountain in two.

This is an axe whose weight alone is enough to rival that of an entire city.

It is impossible for humans to lift it with their own strength. Even Servants, unless they are chief gods like Quetzalcoatl, would not have the ability to lift such a huge axe.

but.

However, there is still an exception among exceptions.

Accelerator stared silently at the hand axe before him, gripping its handle with all five fingers.

—Boom boom boom boom!!!

It was as if the entire space itself was trembling.

With a commotion that seemed to split heaven and earth apart, the veins on Accelerator's head bulged, and in an instant, he raised the hand axe in front of him high.

Using only one hand.

No, actually, for the number one in Academy City, it makes no difference whether one uses one hand or two.

The reason he was able to lift the Marduk hand axe, which weighed as much as an entire city, was because he could manipulate the direction of all energy that came into contact with his skin.

He himself is so physically weak that he can't even lift steel bars, yet he still manages to do it on his own.

This is different from simple reflection. Manipulating the direction of energy is a very troublesome thing, not to mention the weight of an entire city.

…but this still doesn’t mean much to him.

This task should have been completed by Quetzalcoatl, but doing so would have violated the covenant between the goddesses, causing her to suffer the consequences.

In that case, why not let Accelerator, who doesn't belong to the goddess camp, do it?

Once you have a clear aim, locate the Blood Temple in the distance—

bang——

The sound of something cutting through the air exploded completely.

Light and shadow, which are impossible for the naked eye to perceive, move at a speed comparable to light, transcending the heat barrier, and piercing the sky.

From the outside of Earth, such an attack would have already severed the entire planet's atmosphere.

then.

——————————————————————————————————————

The Marduk hand axe, once hurled, destroyed the entire Blood Temple in an instant.

"This, this...!!"

Even Merlin was completely stunned.

Because, in fact, even he hadn't anticipated this scene.

"This is beyond my expectations... I said just destroying the Temple of Blood would be enough! I didn't say it had to go this far!!"

Within a radius of ten kilometers, the entire ground suffered an unparalleled impact.

The Blood Temple itself was instantly annihilated by this direct attack.

Not even a trace remained, not even the broken stones of the temple itself could be seen—no—

The immense destructive power even snapped the hand axe itself in two.

Merlin's instructions to the other side were that he would release a signal during this period, and once the signal was received, the strongest member of the Accord would be responsible for throwing the axe to destroy the Blood Temple. After that, they would rush into the temple and subdue the Gorgon.

But this is undoubtedly way too much!

"No, the most important thing is..."

“That’s right, Matthew is right, the destruction of the temple is not the point!”

Matthew and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the inside of the ruins with very wary eyes.

—How is Gorgon doing?

Bang! ! ! !

Before they could even react, another unimaginable ripple came from the ground.

From the ground surface in front.

A tall, serpentine figure, as large as a mountain, appeared before us.

"Gorg...Gon?!"

Even after suffering an impact of this magnitude, he still did not die.

Gorgon, the serpent goddess seeking revenge on humanity—she glared mercilessly at the crowd.

The battle is far from over.

Chapter 627 When the Mother Goddess Awakens

Gorgon has now appeared.

However, that was a scene that was almost impossible to recreate.

"Ughh ...

The serpentine monster roared, its entire body gushing crimson blood.

That attack just now was beyond everyone's imagination, and naturally it also exceeded Gorgon's expectations.

Not only was the Blood Temple completely destroyed, but Gorgon himself, who was inside the temple, also suffered unavoidable and absolute damage.

That level of destructive power cannot be ignored, even from a purely physical perspective.

Gorgon's divinity was greatly diminished, and coupled with the direct destruction it suffered, it would likely have been destroyed had it not managed to carve a path from the depths of the earth and possessed a powerful physical and magical regenerative ability.

But... the ending was not like that.

The surviving Gorgon's magic and injuries have begun to slowly heal.

Although the recovery effect was minimal, even this state of Gorgon remains an insurmountable predicament for the people here.

"Unforgivable... Absolutely unforgivable! How dare that human humiliate me to this extent—!!!!"

The desire for revenge that had been suppressed in his heart for so long finally erupted.

The countless snake heads on Gorgon's body mercilessly released their radiance in all directions.

"Danger! Master!"

Matthew quickly ran to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, hugged her tightly, and they leaped into the air together.

The ground and the forest were all subjected to a petrification attack.

"hiss--"

Merlin skillfully dodged one of the beams of light, but was nearly struck by another petrifying beam.

A look of lingering fear immediately appeared on the face of the flower magician.

"Well, that's it! While I really want to fight alongside everyone, if I were petrified at a time like this, it would cause a disaster far more terrifying than Gorgon's!"

"So Merlin, you ran away again?!"

"That won't be the case. At least I'll be watching you from a distance!"

"What's this?!"

Anyway, Merlin's combat power is not something to be relied on.

After he ran to the side, Matthew and Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly landed.

Gorgon aimed in their direction.

—Bang! At that moment, the golden light struck her directly.

“Ishtar…!”

The only goddess capable of flight, high in the sky, is attacking her with a barrage of magical energy.

"Now! Anna, Matthew! I'll hold her off, you two take advantage of this opportunity to strike!"

"A bunch of ants... I am Tiamat, the mother goddess who created everything! How could I possibly be implicated by you lot?!"

Gorgon roared, raising his enormous, blood-dripping serpent tail high into the air before slamming it to the ground.

The shockwave exploded in all directions, affecting an area of ​​half a kilometer.

The aftershocks alone were enough to engulf the entire complex in an instant.

Matthew quickly used his shield to block in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, and she clung tightly to Matthew's body.

Nevertheless, the surging power was still difficult to resist.

But it was at this very moment.

“...Anna?!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked over in astonishment, but Anna completely ignored it.

She flew into the air.

They launched a surprise attack directly towards Nagorgon.

"No! Anna! If you do that, you'll—!!"

"you…!!"

Gorgon shuddered violently after directly seeing Anna's presence.

With her movements, an even more violent power erupted from within her body.

Gorgon's body was torn apart due to the forced release of power, a fact that even the Holy Grail's restorative power could not change.

but.

Anna, however, rushed forward with a completely calm expression.

"No...don't come any closer! What are you?!"

"...Sure enough, you can't see me at all, and you're very afraid of me."

Seeing Gorgon looking at her without daring to meet her eyes, Anna simply spoke quietly.

"That's precisely why I exist in this world..."

Medusa, a famous goddess in Greek mythology.

…That is Anna’s identity, and the growth of Gorgon before us after being cursed is the end of this myth.

Anna was created to exist in this world by the restraining force of the goddess Gorgon.

Just as she said.

Her purpose in being here is to kill the Gorgon.

Besides her, no one else would be capable of killing this monster.

"Wait—Anna!"

"What are you planning to do?!"

"Don't be foolish! Even if it were you in this situation... would you really want to get so close to Gorgon directly?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, Matthew, Ishtar, everyone was shouting at her, trying to stop her.

Ignoring the relentless petrification attacks, having fully unleashed her Mystic Eyes, she no longer feared Gorgon's power.

However, she paid no attention to the snake head that Gorgon was lunging at her.

This behavior clearly shows what Anna is thinking at this moment.

'...That's about it, it's time to end Medusa's story here.'

Without hesitation, she raised the sickle in her hand.

—Harpe, the blade that slays the undead.
