My mother's love song

"But... your hatred makes no sense at all."

Mash's voice interrupted the goddess's sneer.

"Even if you are a being bred by humans, even if you have a legitimate right to revenge... I will not agree with it. I also have the power to stop you!"

"That's enough! Just die here!"

The Gorgon suddenly raised her huge body, her eyes wide.

In the gray-purple gemstone demon eye, a pitch-black light flowed at a high speed.

"Ugh! Body...!"

The moment the Warcraft Goddess unsealed the magic eye, everything in the beast's nest seemed to freeze.

The Eyes of the Gorgon, "Cybele".

A magical eye that can petrify anyone it sees.

That is the highest-ranking [Gem] Eye among the countless demon eyes.

It was not the power obtained from the Holy Grail, but the terrifying power from Gorgon and the Body. It evolved again after devouring the two goddess sisters.

After the Warcraft Goddess released the magic eye, everyone present felt as if their bodies were frozen.

In order to resist the power of the Petrifying Eye, a high level of [Magic Power] or [Anti-Magic Power] is required.

However, even if one has enough resistance to avoid being instantly petrified, the Gorgon's gaze is enough to put pressure on the opponent, slowing down the enemy's movements and reactions and reducing their overall abilities.

Not only that, the magic eyes of the composite god Gorgon have more than just the ability of [petrification].

In the Battle of the North Wall, she easily destroyed the army of Leonidas I, the strongest shield of Uruk, with just the black cursed beams shot from her eyes.

If it weren't for the classic villain's thinking circuit of not finishing off the enemy, Gorgon could have used her cursed light cannon to blow the impenetrable walls of Babylon into pieces.

A black curse with firepower hundreds of times greater than Gandr's swept across space, shooting toward the people whose bodies had become sluggish due to the snake's gaze.

“…Mashu is right.”

Just before the black spell cannon was about to engulf everyone, a small figure walked out from the crowd.

Anna said as she took off her hood in front of Gorgon.

"Gorgon. You are not the god Tiamat. You are just an ordinary monster who can't even see your own appearance clearly."

The girl untied the forehead protector on her head.

Instantly, the light emanating from her forehead offset the gaze of the Warcraft Goddess.

The dark light refracted in all directions before engulfing Anna's small body.

"what do you!?"

The cursed gaze was offset, and after Gorgon saw Anna's pure and innocent face, the power of his magic eyes instantly decreased.

Waves of shock came from deep within the Warcraft Goddess's brain.

“This chill is… my entire body is shaking… my composite divinity can no longer be maintained… my rationality, my rationality seems to be going crazy… No, wuwuwu ah ah ah!”

In addition to the little girl in front of him, there were two young women with blurry faces also reflected in Gorgon's mind.

"I found you, Medusa..."

"Ah, did you catch Medusa?"

"!?!?"

The lost memories began to revive in the mind of the Warcraft Goddess.

“I can’t believe this… How could you do this? Didn’t I tell you not to use chains that smell like iron to hang clothes?!”

“Shut up. Ahhh…really. After being scrubbed by your huge strength, not only the dirt but also the divinity was washed away…Listen carefully, the dress that adorns my body is different from your rags!”

"What do you mean, you wanna complain? You can just use our leftovers, even clothes!"

"As the elder sister, I will do what I say. You are the younger sister, and you are worse than a slave on this island."

“Ah, ah, ahhhh… stop it…!”

Gorgon covered her head and hysterically swung her nearly 100-meter-long snake tail, aimlessly destroying the interior of the temple.

"Huh? Why would we, who are loved by all humans, move to an isolated island with a monster like you?"

"If Medusa were alone, she would burst into tears quickly, right? As our sister, such a thing cannot be allowed to happen."

"Honestly, it doesn't matter to us what Medusa is like... Never mind, we need a servant to serve us anyway."

“…Don’t, don’t let me recall this!”

The Warcraft Goddess tore at her own snake hair, and the residual power of the Demon Eye Laser Cannon swept the interior of the temple.

"Stop it, Medusa! The human who came to challenge you has lost his life. But, killing people for fun is absolutely not allowed."

"Your Demonic Eyes are for punishment, not for bestowing terror."

"...Don't suck blood with your mouth. Stheno, I'm scared by your terrifying behavior lately."

"I don't know... I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! I don't know you guys!"

In the center of the collapsed temple, Gorgon groaned in pain, "I am... I am the god Tiamat... that's right!"

"It looks like that's the end. Medusa has become like that... It's really scary, really scary."

"Hmm. What a stupid sister."

"...No, they are really stupid sisters."

"That's true. We never asked you to protect us, but you seemed very happy, so we couldn't help but agree to your wishes."

"Hmph... I hate this, but if you don't do this you'll look really stupid... Medusa, at least give you something meaningful to do."

“Stop… Stop, stop, stop! Nooooooooooooooooooo!”

"You protected us. But the Medusa who protected us no longer exists. Then... we who were protected by you will also disappear with you."

"'The three sisters will be together forever'... I thought it was an impossible wish, but I didn't expect it to come true in this way..."

“Wow, it’s almost here… Well then… Goodbye, my lovely Medusa.”

Amid the Gorgon's screams, endless snakes devoured the two sisters.

The beautiful and immortal goddess entered the snake's belly alive and became the monster's flesh and blood.

The three sisters who were exiled to the invisible island became real monsters just as people rumored.

This is the origin of the great monster Gorgon.

“…Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhhhhh!!!”

The roar of the Warcraft Goddess was almost a wail, and Anna looked up at her with a sad expression.

"Have you finally remembered who you are... Gorgon?"

She walked step by step towards the mentally collapsed Gorgon.

The girl clenched the sickle in her hand.

It was a huge crescent-shaped blade pulled by a chain.

Noble Phantasm, Blade of Undead Slaughter [HARPE].

In Greek mythology, the hero Perseus used his sword to kill the sleeping monster Gorgon.

Harpe itself is not a very good sword, but its greatest feature is the ability called "Zheng Ming Xuan".

This is a low-level power that can negate the special abilities of the undead. The wounds inflicted by Harpe will never heal.

[The weapon that killed Medusa was Harpe] → [So Medusa's death must have been close to Harpe].

Because Anna's adventure is bound to end with the death of Medusa, she was able to obtain this sickle.

Just like that, Anna bent her knees slightly.

A fierce and majestic aura burst out from the girl's body, and the death scythe in her hand was brighter than any star.

With just a flash, she could defeat the Warcraft Goddess who was almost a god.

In contrast, Anna will also die due to the excessive liberation of divinity.

That's enough... the girl warned herself.

I want to live and I really want to stay here.

I want to laugh and cry with everyone.

But... for the sake of those people who treated me so kindly, I can no longer live.

"Fade away with me, Gorgon. This is why I was called to this land."

"Really, Gorgon... I am so disappointed in you."

A cold and transparent voice came from behind Anna.

"!?!?"

The girl glanced sideways and was surprised to find that Rhodes was standing behind her.

When did it appear here?

By the way...it's been so quiet around here since a while ago.

"Gorgon... I just saw my past self, is there any need to make such a fuss?"

Rhodes stood behind Anna, looking up at the huge monster.

"Well. Although I feel so ashamed that I want to die when I see the Chuunibyou setting I wrote when I was 13, I don't think I have the right to say anything about you."

"...Ahem."

at last.

Anna seemed to have noticed something. She lowered her head and found that Rhodes' arm had pierced her chest from behind.

……

……

……

"Rod, what on earth are you doing...Rod!?"

Ishtar's trembling voice echoed throughout the temple.

“Pfft…cough, cough, cough, cough!”

Anna suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.

She showed an incredulous expression and slightly moved her blurred vision downwards.

There, there was a hand piercing through his chest from behind.

This is Rhodes' hand... Yeah, there's no mistake.

"……Why?"

Her lungs shattered, the girl struggled to squeeze the air out of her internal organs, and hot blood inevitably choked out of her throat.

"You have flaws all over your back, Anna. That's why I couldn't help but want to do this."

A voice so cold that it seemed to penetrate the bone marrow.

Undoubtedly, it also belongs to Rhodes.

The blood spurting out of the girl's body splashed on Rhodes' face, adding a touch of horror to his stern and beautiful smile.

"Even if it's an immortal monster, it should be dead now, right?"

As Rhodes spoke, he pulled out the red-stained wrist from the girl's chest.

He took the Harpe from Anna and smashed the scythe to the ground in front of her.

The only trump card against the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon was shattered.

The loud sound of the Noble Phantasm breaking resounded throughout the entire temple, and it also brought the girls, who had lost their minds due to the sudden situation, back to their senses.

“…Anna!!!”

Anna turned around in surprise and found that Mashu and Ritsuka were shouting her name loudly.
