Era of Heroic Spirits: I Was Exposed by Alaya

"No problem! Most beautiful and noble goddess, surpassing all deities, could you help us deal with these demonic beasts?" Nameless asked without hesitation.

This scene,

Had countless onlookers in stitches.

Clearly, Nameless was once again finding ways to get free labor out of her!

What a scheming savior.

However.

She actually fell for it, instantly taking the bait!

Ishtar replied haughtily, "Hmph, this goddess is in a rather foul mood, so I'll take it out on these creatures. Let me make it clear—I'm not helping you!"

A textbook tsundere display.

Which only amused the spectators even more.

With this goddess's IQ, she could be tricked into bed ten times in one night!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ishtar stood atop her Noble Phantasm, hovering in the sky, making finger-gun gestures as she effortlessly fired magical bullets.

Under her overwhelming attacks, the savage and terrifying demonic beasts were torn apart with ease.

But then,

After wiping out just a small portion of the beasts, the goddess suddenly stopped. "Haha, if you want to save humanity, then fight for yourselves!"

"Hey, hey, did you lose something? Something you've been searching for?" Nameless called out loudly.

"Of course not! How could this goddess lose anything?!"

Ishtar in the sky nearly tumbled down again—clearly giving herself away.

She hurriedly left after saying that.

Nameless sighed helplessly. "Well, the free firepower just bailed on us. Guess we'll have to rely on ourselves now."

"Don't worry, Senpai! I'll protect you!" Mash raised her shield, standing firmly in front of him.

But.

The number of demonic beasts was overwhelming.

Hundreds of them surged forward madly, giving Mash a massive headache.

Just then,

A second unexpected guest arrived.

With long emerald-green hair and beauty so transcendent it blurred gender lines, she was a sight to behold.

Wearing a faint smile, she said, "Could you step back? You, the Demi-Servant, and the Master of Chaldea—leave this to me."

Hum~

Familiar chains materialized around her, transforming into sharp spears that effortlessly pinned the demonic beasts to the ground.

She went on a rampage, slaughtering the beasts with terrifying ease.

After resolving the crisis for the two from Chaldea,

"It's an honor to meet you, Master of Chaldea. Our name is Enkidu!"

The beautiful figure smiled gently. "I've been waiting for your arrival. I am the one who maintains the earth and the new humanity!"

However.

Not a single viewer felt happy—

-[Damn it, does Gudao even know that Enkidu, who adored him the most, has become an enemy?]

-[Sigh... Does she really intend to kill Gudao?]

-[Enkidu! My precious little angel Enkidu, why have you become like this?]

-[Is she planning to infiltrate Gudao and Mash's group as a spy and backstab him?]

...

"That bastard actually dares to betray Gudao!"

Mordred scowled in fury.

In the previous King of Heroes video, Gudao had taught Enkidu with even greater care than he had shown her.

That person had clung to Gudao relentlessly, following him everywhere.

She'd even shamelessly begged Gudao to turn her into a "real human."

Online, rumors had twisted it into "a real woman!"

Even Mordred had never dared to say such a thing to Nameless's face!

Now, Nameless had descended in his younger form as Chaldea's Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Yet this despicable creature wanted to play the spy and scheme to stab him in the back!

Look—

After her appearance, Romani Archaman, who remained at Chaldea, exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens, it's Enkidu! He's absolutely the best ally we could ask for! After all, he's the strongest of his era, equal to the King of Heroes, and completely trustworthy!"

"But she doesn't seem to be human... nor a Servant," Mash murmured in confusion.

"Indeed. I am a puppet molded from clay by the gods to admonish the King of Heroes, so it's only natural that I feel... unusual."

Enkidu's smile grew even gentler, like a little angel, making it easy to lower one's guard.

"You've come to this era to retrieve the Holy Grail disrupting history and thwart the Demon God King's attempt to destroy human order, correct?"

"Yes," Gudao nodded.

Everything appeared perfectly harmonious.

But it was precisely this facade of mutual joy that made countless viewers suffer even more.

Gudao had to know that Enkidu was already dead!

Executed by the gods—right before his eyes!

So...

Who was this person claiming to be Enkidu?

"Did the gods just make a new Enkidu?" Mordred couldn't help but blurt out.

Let's not forget.

Enkidu was a divine weapon, crafted from clay by the gods and bestowed with immense power.

A sort of enhanced version of Nuwa's creation of humanity.

They could easily make more.

Astolfo shook his head. "It doesn't feel like it..."

Earlier, Qin Shi Huang of China had invited everyone to a gathering.

Thus, Heroic Spirits from China, France, and Britain had all gathered together.

Even the King of Heroes, who had initially refused to attend, was eventually persuaded to join.

Coincidentally, Alaya had released a new video.

Qin Shi Huang declared, "Since everyone is here, let us all witness the King of Heroes' glorious exploits together!"

The so-called "witnessing glorious exploits" referred to the time when the King of Heroes video was first released.

Back then, the King of Heroes had summoned all the officials of Uruk and broadcast it publicly to the entire nation.

Yet what was meant to showcase his majesty turned into a public humiliation.

Everyone saw how Nameless relentlessly mocked him, reducing him to utter embarrassment.

Clearly, this time, Qin Shi Huang intended to make him the butt of the joke again!

But Mordred, Astolfo, and the others couldn't care less.

As long as it wasn't them, why not enjoy the show?

Under the gaze of all.

On the screen.

The beautiful figure who called themselves Enkidu smiled and said, "Everyone, I have come here following divine decree to protect you. Welcome to ancient Mesopotamia. On behalf of the new era, I welcome you!"

However.

She led Nameless and Mash deep into the forest, claiming it was to evade demonic beasts.

This made countless viewers increasingly anxious and fearful that Nameless would be betrayed by her!

Even the shield-bearing girl following them noticed something amiss.

Mash whispered, "Senpai, we seem to be moving further away from Uruk..."

"I know."

Nameless sighed softly as he looked at the beautiful figure before him. "Enkidu is already dead, killed by the gods! Why are you pretending to be Enkidu?"

The original plan of infiltration and betrayal was instantly exposed.

The beautiful figure who claimed to be Enkidu expressed regret: "Tsk, it seems difficult to hide after all. Humans are failed creations, and you two are valuable among those failures. If I offer you to Mother, she will surely reward me!"

At that moment.

They completely abandoned their disguise, revealing their true intentions.

Yes, they wanted to lure Nameless and Mash into the lair of the Beast Goddess.

To be offered as sacrifices to Mother!

Seeing this, Qin Shi Huang's smile grew even more delighted.

This was a sure win!

Even Enkidu had betrayed the Master. Surely, the so-called King of Heroes would inevitably fall into becoming an evil god.

Let you be publicly executed before all heroic spirits—see if you still have the face to linger in Fuyuki City!

Qin Shi Huang called out to Gilgamesh, who was about to leave, with warm hospitality: "King of Heroes, take a seat! Let us all admire your heroic deeds in this Singularity together!"
