Chapter 177: [177] Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia [2]
"Eh? The Lady of the Underworld, Ereshkigal?"
Rin was utterly baffled.
This seemingly cold and ruthless yet incredibly naive and adorable goddess of the underworld had won countless fans in the side stories The Oldest King and Flower of the Underworld.
Previously, this goddess—adorable beyond measure and instantly endearing—had become the dream lover of many.
The aloof and sinister goddess of the underworld transformed into a shy, pure maiden in the human world.
Such extreme gap moe—who could resist?
But now, she was collaborating with the terrifying Mother of Monsters, who casually slaughtered humans.
Rin instantly concluded: This had to be the Demon King's doing.
If even the illustrious King Arthur could be corrupted into the divine Lion King, then someone as pure and cute as Ereshkigal was an easy target.
The problem was—
Ereshkigal and Ishtar were sister goddesses, both bearing faces identical to hers!
Rin watched with an extremely complicated expression.
Was she about to lose herself to darkness as well?
Beside her, Sakura gazed at her sister with a strange look, her sympathy evident.
Under the weight of their conflicted emotions—
On the screen.
The massive, serpent-tailed goddess spoke coldly, "Unnecessary! Our alliance is one of non-aggression. We have no need to rely on your strength!"
"But I will allow my beasts to slaughter humans as they please—to devour, to toy with, to drag back to their caves as materials for our temples!"
Her words made everyone realize—she was the terrifying enemy of this Singularity.
Cruel. Merciless.
Yet another lofty, untouchable god!
The feathered deity from earlier spoke indifferently, "The goddess who slays the king of this era and claims the Holy Grail shall become the ruler of the world. This is the contract the Demon God King has ordained for us!"
"Uruk was mine to begin with! As part of the Three Goddess Alliance, I shall sweep humanity from the face of the earth!" Ereshkigal declared with equal frost.
The declarations of the three goddesses weighed heavily on all who watched.
In the previous Singularity, the Lion King alone had nearly broken Fujimaru.
But this time—there were three mighty deities!
How could this Singularity possibly be resolved?
Yet what came next was even more unthinkable.
The screen revealed a figure no one could accept.
Emerald-green hair cascaded down their back as they spoke, facing away from the screen: "How wonderful. It seems our alliance oath is eternal. Mother will be at ease."
"My child, you have returned," the serpent-tailed goddess replied tenderly.
"Yes, Mother. Once we obtain the Holy Grail hidden in Uruk, we shall rule over the world after humanity's incineration. This is the contract the Demon King has offered us."
The youth's voice was soft, yet their words were ruthless. "It matters not how we exterminate humanity—only that we claim the Grail."
"Ah, and it seems the last Master of humanity, the guardian of human order, has arrived in this world."
The screen darkened.
But the audience remained frozen in disbelief—
-[No way! Absolutely impossible! How could Enkidu want to slaughter humanity alongside the gods?!]
-[What the hell—I must be seeing things! Enkidu sacrificed themself willingly back then—how could this be?!]
-[Is this some kind of twisted resurrection? Have they become someone else?!]
...
Indeed. That figure was unmistakably Enkidu.
The same Enkidu who, alongside Fujimaru and the King of Heroes, had severed the ties between gods and men—freeing humanity from divine subjugation.
Yet now, they spoke of exterminating mankind with such gentle words.
As the audience struggled to process this—
The prologue concluded.
Text scrolled across the screen, accompanied by Mash's sweet, melodic voice—
[This is the era when the fates of gods and men diverged!]
[The era when humanity sought to prove its maturity—to cast off the shelter of its mother!]
[The last Master of humanity arrives in the most ancient of times, standing with the most ancient of kings against the first evil.]
[Civilization and myth, humanity and divinity—shall part ways at last!]
...
On the screen.
The scene shifted from the grand altar to the sky.
The Chaldean team plummeted from the heavens.
The young Master quickly called out, "Stay calm, Mash! Deploy your Noble Phantasm—we'll be fine!"
"Understood, Senpai! Please hold on tight!"
Mashu quickly regained her composure beneath her steady voice, "Manifest—"
"Lord Camelot!"
Hum!
A magnificent wall of Camelot instantly materialized around the two of them.
The Noble Phantasm's activation safely brought both of them, along with Fou, to the ground unharmed.
Before they could steady themselves, terrifying monsters began emerging from all sides.
These creatures, larger than lions, were closing in with menacing snarls.
"Senpai, what should we do?" Mash asked nervously, gripping her shield as she surveyed the monsters.
Just then.
A voice rang out from the sky: "Air braking won't make it in time! We're gonna crash! If Father finds out, my license is toast! Just so we're clear, this is totally not my fault!"
Boom!
Amidst the screams, something plummeted from the heavens—
A goddess!
The sheer force of the impact sent Mash flying aside as she cried out, "Senpai, are you okay?!"
Her senpai was sent sprawling by the goddess's crash landing.
When the dust settled, the reckless sky-driving goddess was sitting atop Senpai in an extremely compromising position.
Her long, shapely thighs were tightly squeezing Senpai's face, pressing her most intimate area right against his features!
The barrage of comments exploded instantly—
-[Holy shit, is this the legendary death-by-thighs?]
-[The scent of the sea—Nameless Hero knows it well!]
-[Damn, I'm so jealous! Why couldn't it be me?]
-[That face-sitting pose is straight out of a doujin! Ishtar, you did this on purpose, didn't you?]
-[Uh, I have a friend who wants to ask about that doujin...]
...
Witnessing this scene.
Not only was Mash on the scene utterly shocked.
Even Rin, watching the video feed, turned beet red, steam practically rising from her head.
Goddess Ishtar was suspected to be her past incarnation, and now she was pulling this stunt in public!
How was Rin supposed to show her face after this?
To make matters worse.
The pinned-down Nameless roared in outrage, "Goddess Ishtar, are you trying to kill me by taking advantage like this?!"
The adorable white beast also began pawing at her thigh—
"Fou... Fou! (Get off already!)"
At this moment, the unlicensed sky-diving culprit found herself thoroughly despised by everyone and every creature present.
Under the collective condemnation.
The goddess glared furiously at the man beneath her: "You wretched fool! How dare you touch my body without permission? How do you want to die?"
But his breathing sent strange, ticklish sensations through her thighs, prompting her to hastily scramble away.
"Wait a minute! I cushioned your fall and saved you from injury—isn't that enough?" Nameless protested. "Besides, we're Chaldea personnel here to safeguard humanity. We never meant to offend the great and beautiful Goddess Ishtar. Please forgive us!"
"Fine, since you're visitors from another world."
Ishtar regarded them with haughty disdain. "Forget about my failed sky-ship maneuver, the screaming, and the physical contact, and I might consider forgiving you."
"No problem! Most beautiful and noble goddess, surpassing all deities, could you help us deal with these demonic beasts?" Nameless asked without hesitation.
