“It’s hard to describe, you could say it’s information engraved on your body.” Shio shook her head. “Given the current state of the ‘Alien God,’ perhaps we can create an opportunity for you to try to make contact with the ‘Alien God.’”

"Will this work?" Olga Marie asked, puzzled.

"It's hard to say, but as the spirit and soul, and also as the original self, you are coming into contact with the 'container' that you have to abandon." Shiomi thought for a moment, "It should create a resonance."

“Resonance…” Olga Marie understood. “If possible, I’m willing to try it.”

"Don't worry," tide Jian reassured her again. "I won't let you take such a risk unless I can guarantee it will be foolproof. After all, the 'Alien God' can make you disappear without a trace with just a flick of his finger."

Hearing the deep concern in Shiomi's voice, and her desire not to lose her, Olga Marie felt a surge of happiness.

She hugged Xijian tightly and firmly replied, "I will do whatever the teacher arranges."

"Hey, have you become a little less independent lately?" Xi Jian couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't always listen to anyone else's arrangements. You have the right to make your own choices, instead of handing that right over to me or anyone else."

“Of course I’m doing my job as director well,” Olga Marie pouted. “It’s just that my teacher is a vital pillar that has kept me going until now, which is why I want to listen to her.”

“That makes sense…” tide Jian understood the connection between them.

He pulled her out of the abyss, and he saved her life.

In any case, the importance of Shiomi Tenkei to Olga Marie is beyond words.

Moreover, we have now crossed the most important front line.

"Let's not talk about that. The teacher knows what to do. I just need to know what to do when the time comes." Olga Marie snuggled against his hair, constantly pouting. "Now, let's watch the stars together."

"They say they're stars... but this is underground, so are they really stars in the conventional sense? Or are they symbols that Maya gave to this underground sky?" Shiomi couldn't help but complain.

Olga Marie raised her head and silently sensed for a while: "It must be... real, right? Even just gazing at it like this, I can feel the magic hidden within this starry sky."

“That must be a miracle of the Maiars,” Shiomi said. “Kirshtalia said he felt the sky here wasn’t good for constructing magic because the star map was so different from pan-human history.”

“Even if he can construct magic, if he can’t unleash the power he had in the Atlantic Lostbelt, whether fighting Tescatlipoca or the ORT, his power will seem like a drop in the ocean,” Olga Marie said.

“That’s the theory on paper. Miktland and the British Lostbelt are very similar; they don’t have a true pan-human history,” Shiomi said. “But… the existence of Servants and Heroic Spirits is not denied here.”

“Tepeu said that Dinos had been asleep for a very long time. The ruins of Kahn that the teacher is going to investigate tomorrow are things that appeared here before Dinos revived and began to move in Miktland.” Olga Marie recalled what they had talked about at dinner.

"You mean, there were humans in Miktland once?" Shiomi asked, slightly surprised. "That's not impossible, but if that's the case, why can't we see any humans now..."

Following Olga Marie's hypothetical scenario, Shiomi began to develop her thinking.

If such a possibility exists, then Kamazot, who is based in the ruins of Kahn, might know more about Kahn.

But since the other party is an enemy, it's unlikely they would reveal the truth so easily.

"The teacher has really started to think about this possibility..." Olga Marie felt a little guilty, after all, she was just chatting casually and letting her thoughts wander.

tide Jian shook her head: "It's okay. Expanding our thinking like this is good. It will help our work in Miktland."

"But I'd rather be with the teacher..."

Olga Marie blushed slightly and leaned over Shiomi's shoulder, wanting to kiss his lips from the side. He didn't refuse and was about to lower his head to respond when he heard a series of hurried footsteps.

"Dad? Are you on the roof?" Karen's voice came.

Upon hearing the question, Olga Marie quickly released Shiomi and sat down properly.

When Karen climbed the stairs, all she saw was the two of them enjoying the cool air.

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ruins of Kahn

Although Karen unknowingly thwarted their plans, thankfully it didn't affect their exploration the next day.

Before leaving, Shiomi spent some quality time alone with Olga Marie in her room before heading to the ruins of Kahn with Morgan and the others.

"While I have no problem with my husband taking care of Mary," Morgan quietly reminded him, "won't it look like he's cheating on her, and won't that affect today's exploration?"

“I can’t possibly explore you guys before I explore the ruins of Kahn, can I?” tide Jian couldn’t help but joke with Morgan, savoring the lingering feeling before setting off.

Morgan raised her finger and flicked Shiomi, who was nestled in her arms: "We're not far from the ruins of Kahn, and you're only saying this now. It's obvious you don't want to fulfill your obligations."

“It’s alright, I’ll just have my disciple repay him double when we get back,” Scáthach said with a smile.

"Hiss..." tide Jian couldn't help but gasp. "Every time Master says he'll pay back double, I feel terrified. Every time, I feel like I'm going to be crushed."

Scáthach immediately became displeased: "Do you think your teacher is too important?"

"No, no, no, how could that be..." tide Jian quickly denied, "I just felt that way because of my current juvenile state."

"It feels better to have Tianxi lying on top of me than to have her on my back," Skadi muttered to herself, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Artoria nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“It seems today is not a good day to go out. Perhaps we should rest for a day or two before considering coming here to investigate.” Morgan feigned dissatisfaction. “Anyway, Kamazot is only threatening Dinos and indirectly affecting the stability of Storm Border.”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry," tide Jian quickly reassured her.

Morgan wasn't in a bad mood; she was just more serious than the others.

Now that the power has become "marital property," Morgan can't help but pay more attention to it.

After all, the closer one gets to Kahn, the more one can sense the existence of one of the powers that Shiomi has been deprived of.

More importantly, the once sunny forest has become gloomy as it gets closer to the ruins of Kahn, and even sunlight can no longer fully penetrate the forest.

They chatted with Shiomi about risqué topics, which Morgan listened to as if it were an exclusive broadcast.

After traversing the forest where there are almost no normal roads, they arrived at the ruins of Lakahn.

“It’s really desolate… no, it’s more like a gloomy ruin,” Scáthach remarked. “Even my Land of Shadows is more vibrant than this place.”

“That’s because Master is there,” Shiomi said matter-of-factly.

Scáthach smiled upon hearing this.

She actually wanted to say that it was because Shiomi left a garden there, which was the only place of life in the lifeless Land of Shadows.

"Let's stop with the idle chatter, sweet talk, and dirty talk here."

Morgan, her face serious, took the initiative and merged with Shiomi, transforming into a unified god and standing at the forefront.

"Kamazotz is nearby... He's here!"

Accompanied by the noisy flapping of wings and continuous bursts of maniacal laughter, Kamazots flew straight towards the group from the forest surrounding the ruins of Kahn.

"Hahahaha! Ruthless, this is truly ruthless! Gathering together because of weakness, building high walls, and then prospering for a time! This is what is called a kingdom! But no matter how hard they try and rack their brains, the weak are still the weak! It's all in vain! Now only these piles of white bones remain, witnessing those forgotten dreams and illusions! So let's laugh loudly! Let's look on with cold contempt! Let's say that the tears of the weak taste no different from the blood of the weak!"

Speaking nonsensically, Kamazozz descended from the sky onto the ruins of Kahn, looking down at the crowd.

"They arrived so quickly? And they haven't even reclaimed the power the so-called 'Alien God' stole?" Kamazoz glared menacingly at the One God. "Don't disappoint me too much, you empty shell god!"

"To say such things to 'us', I should be the one who doesn't want to be disappointed." Morgan raised her hand and gripped her signature magic gun.

The demonic spear, due to the power of the One God, shed its black color and transformed into a pure object interwoven with blue and white.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a completely new Holy Lance.

"Hmph... So you've let the prey escape, so you settle for second best and try to take back what's in my hands first?" Kamazot said. "You're certainly clever, but some things aren't made easier just because they're convenient."

“We’ve encountered the Beast many times before,” Morgan said, looking at Kamazotz. “Even you won’t be much different.”

"Heh...hehe...hahahahahaha!!! How delightful! It wasn't in vain that I agreed to the deal with the Smoke Mirror, using your power, which I haven't yet obtained, as proof to change the Netherworld Line of Miktlan! If I kill you here, seize your power, and drink your blood dry, even the likes of the 'Alien God' will be no threat!"

Kamazotz laughed wildly, stating a fact.

The attack on Shiomi was orchestrated by Tescatlipoca; the original attackers should have been only Kamazozz and Morgan of Pan-Human History.

The "Alien God" was an unplanned entity. After witnessing the struggle, it seized the opportunity to intervene and took away one-third of Shiomi's power.

"Judging from your tone, you're not very confident about the 'Alien God'," Morgan said with a mocking smile.

"Nonsense. That's just a monster that can't be eaten, and whose blood is unpalatable." Kamazot curled his lip in displeasure. "It's just like you, a creature of pan-human history."

“And what about you, unknown Beast?” Scáthach asked. “Judging from your tone, you seem to know a lot about Kahn?”

"That's not something you're qualified or obliged to know. It's here to become my sustenance, the foundation upon which I seize control of pan-human history and replace you as the planet's god." Kamazotz bluntly rejected Scáthach's questioning. "Then, let me give you a proper welcome! Undying Karn warriors, now is the time to increase the number of your brethren!"

At that moment, the ruins of Kahn began to shake uneasily.

In an instant, countless skeletal soldiers rose from beneath the mud and ruins, wielding decaying yet sharp weapons, and surrounded the group.

These were not ordinary skeletal soldiers; they emanated a massive magical aura, and each skeletal soldier possessed a magical response approaching that of an ordinary Servant.

It is a being far more powerful than the corpses in the Land of Shadows.

“Human…skeletons.” Scáthach frowned coldly, surveying the undead soldiers. “It seems this is indeed the ruins left by the humans of Miktlan, then—”

She slammed the red spear heavily onto the ground.

"Let me show you the true nature of the Land of Shadows!"

Chapter Forty-Nine Fierce Battle

"The power that is bound together in my name. Answer my call and open the doors. Come, my city, City of Shadows."

As Scáthach's crimson spear struck the stones on the ruins, a deep, dark magic spread outwards. The skeletal soldiers, clad in armor and entwined with various magical patterns, were momentarily paralyzed by this magic.

Kamazocz's lips, which were always turned down, stretched even deeper.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and the heavy, massive stone gate revealed itself amidst the clouds, slowly opening its thick, ancient doors.

The gates to the Land of Shadows open at this moment, and all beings deemed targets are sucked in instantly.

Especially monsters like the undead and the undead.

The skeletal warriors that Kamazot has just awakened from the ruins of Karn have unfortunately run into the Queen of the Land of the Dead, and their compatibility is extremely poor.

“Wandering souls with nowhere to go, I will take you in! The Gate of Skye, a demonic realm overflowing with death!”

The gate swung open completely, and an immense force pulled the skeletal soldiers on the ground upwards.

However, this expected smooth guidance proved extremely difficult, as if an immense force was hindering Scáthach from delivering these corpses.

There is only one answer.

"Stop trying to be clever! This is my territory. You, an outsider and lord of the underworld, shouldn't meddle too much!"

Kamazots is hindering Scáthach's Noble Phantasm from taking effect.

“Then let’s add a little more!” Skadi retorted loudly, “The Gate of Skye, a realm overflowing with death!”

They have the same Noble Phantasm name, but different effects.

Scáthach's Noble Phantasm is geared towards offense, obstruction, and slaughter, while Skadi's Noble Phantasm is more inclined towards support and protection.

Companions within the range of the Noble Phantasm will receive the blessing of the Ice Goddess.

The ice that had remained unmelted in my heart for thousands of years has now melted away into the gentle flow of water.

The goddess, whose heart was filled with love, unleashed a power in her Noble Phantasm that far exceeded her expectations.

"A trivial skill!"

Kamazots counted something, aiming at the group, when the hissing and flapping of countless bats echoed from the depths of the forest.

He summoned countless vampire bats from the shadows.

Blood is an important medium for magic; to absorb blood is to steal magic.

The bats darted in like shadowy blades.

"Storm, sweep everything away! 'Wind King Barrier'!"

Since the distance between them hasn't been widened yet, unleashing their Noble Phantasms here would put defensive pressure on their allies other than the One God, and would also prevent the Holy Lance from unleashing its full power.

Choosing the "Wind King Barrier" is the best way to dispel all of this.

Those inside the eye of the storm are unaffected, but all enemies outside will be swept away by the power of the 'Wind King Barrier'.

More and more skeletal warriors were unable to remain on the ground, and were drawn up by Scáthach's Noble Phantasm, heading towards the other side of the Land of Shadows.

Now that humanity has been cleansed, Scáthach, who has never returned, doesn't even know if her Land of Shadows still exists, but as long as she can use her Noble Phantasm, that's enough for her.

"I admit you have some skill, but it's not enough! Undying warriors of Cain, let me give you the power of life!"

The power held by Kamazots, belonging to Shiomi's "compassion," is now exerting its corresponding force.

The remains of those Cain warriors, who were already comparable to Servant Spirit Origins, were amplified by this power, and even strange-colored flesh grew on their bones.

"Not just skeletons, they want flesh and blood to become ghouls... no, do they want to resurrect them?"

Scáthach was utterly puzzled.

These remains, which have been dead for thousands or tens of thousands of years, have long since lost their souls and spirits. Even if, through the power of the gods, flesh is recreated on the skeletons, they are merely living puppets without free will.

That kind of thing is completely meaningless.
