Miracle Summoner

"It's you?"

At that moment, seeing Altera appear before Rozen, the smile on Quetzalcoatl's face finally turned into astonishment.

Gorgon also widened her eyes, as if she felt a shudder, involuntarily taking a step back.

Right here and now, looking at that white-haired girl, Gorgon felt as if a chill crawled up her back, causing her to tremble in both rage and fear.

"Who are you!? Why am I feeling fear...!?"

Gorgon cried out.

Here, a bit of background must be explained.

Among the three Gorgon sisters, Medusa is different from her two elder sisters.

Although all three sisters are goddesses, the elder sisters—Stheno and Euryale—are flawless goddesses. They do not grow, they do not age, they are immortal.

As the embodiment of male desire, they are the perfect realization of the concept of 'idol.'

Medusa, as the youngest sister, is an imperfect goddess, capable of growth and increasing strength. It is for this reason that she was able to continuously slay the humans who persecuted her sisters—until she lost control, went berserk, and transformed into the monstrous Gorgon.

As such, Medusa, being an imperfect goddess, has long forgotten the events of the great annihilation of the gods in the ancient age.

Moreover, the current Gorgon is no longer Medusa. She is a frenzied monster, a device purely driven by hatred toward humanity.

Were it not for the godhood of Tiamat fused into her through the power of the Holy Grail, making her a composite divinity, then even this primal fear she felt toward Altera wouldn't have been triggered.

Now, Gorgon simply stared at Altera, filled with both rage and fear.

Only Ishtar stared tightly at Altera, letting out a long breath after a while.

"Even knowing of her existence beforehand, facing her like this… it really does instill fear..."

Ishtar murmured.

Altera, however, showed no concern for the three goddesses' reactions. Her cold gaze swept over them, radiating waves of destruction, causing the three goddesses' expressions to shift.

Rozen observed all of this, his face showing no emotion.

He simply said:

"With all three goddesses appearing here, if I can take all of you down in one go, the Singularity's problem should be resolved. This is a great opportunity."

These words made the atmosphere instantly grow heavy.

If it were moments earlier, the three goddesses would have surely scoffed at such arrogance.

But now, none of them dared think that way.

Altera's presence had already struck fear into their hearts.

However...

"It's a good opportunity, but... this time, I may have overdone it a little."

As Rozen said this, the three goddesses were momentarily stunned—then finally noticed something wrong with Rozen.

His mana fluctuations had become extremely faint without anyone realizing it, and his face had grown slightly pale.

This clearly indicated that Rozen was in trouble.

And indeed—

"Your mana level has dropped below critical!"

"Magic circuits experienced a 0.8-second stall!"

"Rozen!"

Voices of Olga Marie, Da Vinci, and Roman had been continuously sounding from the communicator since earlier, ringing in Rozen's ears.

Rozen could feel it himself. After his actions in the Blood Temple, and then recklessly summoning the Beast Vassal and invoking Galatine's True Name, his mana had dropped to a dangerously low level.

Naturally, the state of his magic circuits had once again deteriorated, and he had been trying to adjust and suppress the worsening trend since just a moment ago.

In other words, continuing the battle further would no longer be in Rozen's favor.

Fortunately...

"This time wasn't a total waste."

At the very least, Rozen had finally seen the full scope of the Three Goddess Alliance, learned about their strength, destroyed the Blood Temple's gestation, and even pinpointed the Holy Grail's location.

"Let's hope that next time we meet, you'll all still have the luxury to leisurely argue over who gets to fight for me."

These words made it clear to the goddesses what Rozen was about to do.

"Wait—!"

The goddesses moved to act.

"Altera!"

Rozen gave the order without giving them any chance.

Boom!

Altera raised her Sword of the War God without hesitation, and the energy of destruction burst forth like a torrent.

"Destroy."

Altera swung the Sword of the War God, unleashing a streak of destructive energy like a luminous whip.

"———!"

A surge of terror erupted within Gorgon, Quetzalcoatl, and Ishtar.

"Danger!"

As incarnations of natural concepts—parts of the world—the three goddesses immediately understood how terrifying this strike was.

It was a power effective against the world and civilization.

To gods, that power was absolutely lethal.

Even Kingu, himself a god-forged weapon, narrowed his eyes and revealed a shocked expression.

Thus, without even thinking, they all scattered—

One flapped her wings furiously and fled,

One rode her feathered serpent wyvern and turned tail,

One flew her Heavenly Boat high into the sky,

Another shot off like a bullet, instantly leaving the area.

Boom!!!

The beam of destruction swept across the land, blowing away the ground, annihilating the atmosphere, engulfing dust, and pulverizing rock. It was as if a piece of the world itself had been violently carved out and obliterated.

The cedar forest was completely annihilated, as if struck by a meteor.

When the dust settled, only a deep, abyss-like crater remained—nothing else.

Rozen and his group were naturally gone, vanished without a trace.

As for the goddesses, they had all been blown away by the destructive wave. The divine aura on their bodies now showed signs of disturbance.

"Damn it!"

Gorgon clenched her teeth in fury.

"She even hit me—what an idiot...!"

Ishtar was equally outraged.

"...That power... looks like the real deal."

Quetzalcoatl looked down at the utterly destroyed cedar forest, then at her own diminished divine aura, and gave a bitter smile.

Even as the chief deity of Aztec mythology, she could only feel dread before a power that had once annihilated the ancient gods.

"Good thing her power has greatly weakened. The scale now seems limited to a Heroic Spirit level. Otherwise, she wouldn't need to retreat at all."

If it's just her current level, Quetzalcoatl figured she could still handle it.

She let out a sigh of relief—but at the same time, her curiosity toward Rozen only grew.

"That human Master actually made that one his Servant? What a surprising twist."

She thought to herself.

Kingu hovered in the air, face dark, staring at the devastated scene below.

After a long while, he turned toward the three goddesses.

"You saw that, didn't you? This is the threat that human Master poses!"

Kingu raised his voice.

"If we keep standing by, even goddesses might be devoured by that human!"

At his words, the three goddesses simultaneously looked at him.

Kingu took a deep breath, calming himself before he continued.

"I think, after witnessing that, you all know what must be done!"

"We can't sit idle any longer!"

"Attack!"

"March on Uruk and wipe out humanity in this era!"

Kingu's voice echoed through the air, reverberating without end.
