I Won't Help You Anymore! (Continued)

They are Tiamat's children, the rulers of the Demonic Beast, the vanguard representing Tiamat's malice and rage. They will arrive before Tiamat walks the earth, acting as Tiamat messengers, spreading her anger and hatred; they can be considered the calamity messengers of the Primal Mother.

So when Goetia saw Tiamat's Eleven Children appear, Goetia knew that the seal she had broken on Tiamat could no longer be suppressed. The nature called "Return" engraved in her mind had begun to spread. After the Eleven Children cleansed all life on the earth, Tiamat would emerge from the Imaginary Numbers World.

Before this happens, the catastrophe recorded in the Sumerian Mythology wars will not stop; it is something that is bound to happen.

Having understood everything, Goetia didn't pay too much attention to the Eleven Children that had appeared. After all, while their power was decent, that kind of strength was only relative to ordinary Servant. Even the Eleven Children reborn from the Primordial Sea, each of them was at most at the level of a low-level god like Gorgon, at most slightly stronger than a single Demon God Pillars. To Goetia, they were still just ants. If he wanted to make a move, the result would only be an instant kill, which would be meaningless and would only lower his status. The pledge he chose was not these weak ants, but their mother— Tiamat.

So after assessing the situation, Goetia decided to leave without helping either side, and continued to wait for Tiamat to appear.

However, just as he was about to leave, the golden light that burst forth from the direction of Uruk, along with that unusually familiar magic, attracted his attention. After all, it was magic from his own hands, and it was obvious who else could use it besides him. So Goetia immediately set off for this place, and then saw Rovey with his Light Wheel traversing the battlefield, even casually annihilating an Eleven Children, which moved him somewhat.

"It's Goetia..."

Rovey raised his head and looked at Goetia, who was hanging in mid-air, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have a plan for coming to this Singularity? Or did you come here suddenly to attack Uruk? Or did you release these Demonic Beasts? Did you revive the Eleven Children...?"

Although he had long suspected that the source of the Demonic Beast must be Tiamat and the Sea of Life, Goetia's appearance made him wonder if he was truly behind this whole affair. He decided to strike first and personally destroy Uruk.

The situation was now a matter of great importance concerning many lives, so Rovey had to prepare for the worst. He mentally identified Goetia as an enemy and was ready to fight him at any time.

"Hmph, don't misunderstand, incompetent king. My style of doing things has always been upright and honorable. If I wanted to destroy such a tiny race as humanity, I could do it with the flick of a finger. How could I possibly use such despicable means? Don't you know very well where these guys come from?"

After being identified as a suspect by Rovey, Goetia, who was hanging in mid-air, frowned slightly and then replied calmly that he was not trying to be a riddle-maker or to act mysterious, which would only cause misunderstandings, make people uncomfortable, and cause everyone to have high blood pressure.

Ultimately, even Goetia himself wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do here.

He came to check on Solomon because he sensed the magic of his own Light Wheel, and then—he was worried that Solomon had encountered some insurmountable danger?

Well, he does have some of those thoughts.

After all, the situation where Solomon could use his Light Wheel energy must have been extremely dangerous. Because he was indeed worried, he came in person. However, when he saw Rovey using his energy and willingly enduring the heat of the Light Wheel, fighting even while suffering the burning pain, only to find that his target was just a few ant-like Demonic Beast, Goetia was quite unhappy, especially towards the humans behind him.

Too weak, too incompetent, as always...

This disaster alone was not enough to overcome; the king, who had given up everything, had to regain his strength and overcome his pain to protect them.

This incident made him feel nauseous.

Shouldn't such a weak race have perished long ago? What's the point of continuing to hold on? What's wrong with him creating a new world and letting a more powerful race rule it?

Goetia didn't say these words aloud, but he still felt that way.

Then Goetia lowered her gaze and looked down at Rovey, who was still under the watchful eye of the Light Wheel's magic.

"You..."

He swallowed his words halfway through, though he was worried and wanted Rovey to put away the magic of the Light Wheel first, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

After all, if he speaks now, wouldn't that be admitting defeat? What he wants is for the other party to apologize to him first, not for him to apologize first.

But...

Just as Goetia hesitated, the figure below spoke again.

"If you want to do anything bad, I'll stop you right here. And if you have nothing else to do, leave now, Goetia, and don't keep blocking my way."

After receiving Goetia's reply, Rovey breathed a slight sigh of relief, then casually replied, "I have more important things to do now."

"More important things? You mean continuing this slaughter until you wipe out all the Demonic Beast by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Goetia frowned slightly.

"That's right."

Without hesitation, Rovey answered. He clenched his fist slightly forward again, and the Ten Commandments on his fingers once more burst forth with terrifying golden light. Then, as if wielding a holy sword, he unleashed the blinding golden light. In an instant, the Light Wheel behind him transferred energy to his palm, launching an unstoppable golden beam of light that dispersed the surging tide of Demonic Beast that had gone mad after Rovey had annihilated one of the Eleven Children.

In an instant, that golden light, carrying terrifying heat, was like an even more dazzling wave of energy, and with just one sweep, it turned nearly a thousand Demonic Beast into spirit particles.

Since Goetia has no intention of taking action, his current goal remains the same: to quickly eliminate all Eleven Children and personally end this disaster caused by the Demonic Beast.

"Damn it..."

Watching Rovey continue to recklessly unleash his energy, Goetia looked at his body, which was constantly emitting white smoke due to the excessive magical energy he was bearing. Although he was using Magecraft to repair himself at an extremely rapid pace, such behavior was bound to cause damage.

"Stop right now, you foolish king! They're just Demonic Beast and humans; they're not worth your time..."

He wanted to speak up and dissuade him.

"--roar!!"

Before Goetia could finish speaking, two loud roars echoed in his ears, the ground trembled again, and a cloud of dust billowed up as a crimson figure emerged from the earth, hurtling straight towards Rovey. Similarly, a gigantic, monstrous bird suddenly descended from the clouds, moving at incredible speed towards Rovey. Clearly, they were the other two of Tiamat's Eleven Children Demonic Beast.

They are Musmahhū and Ugallu.

The moment these two enormous creatures appeared, Rovey recognized their true forms; they were also known as: the Strange Birds and the Lion-Dog. They were also members of the Eleven Children Tiamat, and were related to the Girtablilu -Scorpion Man who had been sent to his death by a single Human Order Cannon before even understanding the situation.

Since it has come here on its own initiative, it must have sensed the death of the Scorpion Man and is seeking revenge. Or perhaps it is an instinctive act to hunt down its enemy. For these completely Mad Enhancement Demonic Beast, reason has vanished. They may have identified the greatest threat on the battlefield and determined that he, who had just unleashed that power, was a target that must be dealt with alone.

A seven-headed bird and Lion-Dog?

Compared to the Scorpion Man who hadn't even had a chance to show his power yet, these two monsters were indeed incredibly strong, and their magical power level had reached that of Servant like Gorgon and Nitocris. For Ushiwakamaru and Benkei, they would be formidable enemies, difficult to contend with. Furthermore, each of the Eleven Children Tiamat's children possessed their own unique special moves and fighting style, so even top-tier Servant might be killed on their first encounter.

But--

Unfortunately, this time their opponent is themselves!

Even if Rovey is unfamiliar with the two guys' attack methods and their abilities, it doesn't matter, because Rovey has no intention of fighting these two monsters. All he wants is to eliminate them as quickly as possible.

So...

Just as the Lion-Dog and the Seven-Headed Bird led a large number of Demonic Beast to attack him simultaneously, Rovey raised his palm high to gather energy. After a moment of condensation, he immediately unleashed a dazzling golden light towards the Demonic Beast in the sky, intending to send the Seven-Headed Bird directly back to hell.

"Gah!!"

Seeing the golden lightning bolt from Rovey's hand hurtling towards it, the Seven-Headed Bird cried out in alarm. Sensing the pillar of light filled with destructive energy, how could it dare to take it head-on? So it instinctively dodged away.

Then, with a "whoosh!" sound, a golden light streaked straight across the sky, leaving a golden arc in the night sky before quickly disappearing.

"Roar roar roar roar—!!!"

The Lion-Dog roared, and taking advantage of the moment when Rovey unleashed the beam of light, the surrounding Demonic Beast, rallied by the Lion-Dog, began to charge recklessly towards Rovey.

Seeing this, Rovey remained calm and composed. His eyes were clear, and his mind was at peace. The golden Light Wheel behind him spun continuously, transforming into a dense net of intertwined lightning that enveloped Rovey.

Then came a series of painful howls. Any Demonic Beast that touched this light would turn to ashes almost instantly, and the terrifying shockwave from the energy would send them flying back an unknown distance.

However, there is no absolutely impenetrable defense in this world. Amidst the golden lightning-studded defensive line, the Lion-Dog burrowed into the earth and successfully broke through. Several other Demonic Beast also managed to slip in through the gaps due to good fortune.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Rovey's eyes. He clenched his fist and aimed it at the face of the Lion-Dog- Lion-Dog's sharp claws, twisted his heel, and then suddenly shook his waist, with power and energy surging into his arms. Instantly, he used the captured body as a meteor hammer and smashed it into the Demonic Beast that was pouncing on him from behind.

With a "crack," the heads of the two Demonic Beast behind him collided and dented, disappearing with screams. The seemingly indestructible Lion-Dog was also pried open, and energy was fired into its mouth, exploding it into a cloud of ashes from the inside out.

—This is the second one.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

After Rovey dealt with the most troublesome Lion-Dog, at that moment, accompanied by a series of strange whooshing sounds, the Seven-Headed Bird in the sky flapped its wings and summoned a terrifying gale. The countless ear-piercing wind blades it stirred up dispersed the clouds in the sky and then tore apart the ground beneath its feet, emitting extremely piercing noises. Then, the fierce gale mixed with the corpses that died on the battlefield, and then the corpses that were swept up were turned into blood mist in the eye of the wind, rapidly surrounding Rovey's position.

"Um?"

Seeing this, Rovey clenched his fist, carefully adjusted his magic, and a crimson third hand emerged to lock onto the enemy, preparing to crush his attack and then eliminate him in one fell swoop.

However, another figure was faster than him.

"Although he was just an incompetent king, he was still our master. How dare a mere Demonic Beast created out of malice offend us! It is far too presumptuous!"

A cold voice spoke calmly in mid-air, and then the terrifying seven-headed bird's fierce hurricane, capable of tearing apart city walls, the earth, and the sky, subsided in an instant, bringing the battlefield back to calm, and the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.

"What are you doing—?"

Rovey slowly loosened his clenched fist and looked at the scene unfolding in the sky with some confusion.

To everyone's surprise, Goetia, whom they had thought was an enemy, calmed the hurricane of the strange bird with a mere wave of his hand. He then stared coldly at the strange bird in the sky ahead, its terrifying power being nothing more than child's play in front of him.

"Gah!!"

The strange bird stared in astonishment at this scene, then looked at Goetia, who had blocked its attack.

It never imagined that this human, whom they had just ignored, would possess such power.

Subsequently, sensing the threat, it immediately regarded Goetia as an enemy and prepared to launch another attack.

However, to Goetia, such creatures were not worthy of being called enemies.

"Snort!"

With a cold snort, Goetia appeared almost instantly in front of the strange bird, then clenched his fist and brought it down heavily on its chest.

Bang!!

In just a moment, before even a scream could be heard, the Seven-Headed Bird, which had previously dominated the sky and controlled the gale, exploded. Its massive body turned into a cloud of drifting blood mist, leaving only Goetia hanging coldly in the sky.

As Rovey had predicted, after the three Tiamat Eleven Children were destroyed in Uruk, most of the Demonic Beast lost their purpose and killing intent, their bodies turning into pools of black mud that flowed into the earth. However, the remaining small number of Demonic Beast was still a deadly threat to Uruk; if any of Demonic Beast breached the walls, it would be a catastrophe.

That means we're still missing one from Scathach's side.

But even if that one is eliminated, the matter is not over yet.

Aside from Kingu, the other eleven Tiamat's Eleven Children are undoubtedly attacking the cities in the Underworld, as is Ur, the Quetzalcoatl. If this continues, even more people will die in this disaster; they must all be eliminated.

But when he thought about the many more Tiamat Eleven Children waiting for him to eliminate, Rovey couldn't help but feel worried. After all, many more people would surely perish while searching for these creatures, and it would be far too slow for him to reach Ur and the Underworld alone.

So--

Thinking of this, Rovey's gaze fell on the sky. Because he had just lost control of his emotions and attacked directly, Goetia was feeling extremely complicated at the moment.

Can I...?

He suddenly had a bold idea.

Goetia: "..."

Compared to Rovey, who had come up with some kind of plan, Goetia was also somewhat confused at this moment, or rather, she didn't know how to explain the automatic protection she had just given Rovey. She could only say it in a rather arrogant way.

"Thank you, Goetia."

"Hmph, don't flatter yourself, you incompetent king."

Goetia: "I never intended to protect you. What happens to you now is none of my business. It was just that ugly bird offended me, so I killed it."

Rovey: "???"

After listening to this almost epic, textbook-level arrogant speech, and the abstract reasons that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe, a series of strange question marks seemed to pop up in Rovey's head.

Suddenly, he felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, and at the same time, he felt that the extent to which Goetia's character had collapsed was inexplicably absurd.

—Goetia, Mr. Goetia, the face of Evils of Humanity, you were the big boss in the first movie, how did you suddenly become like this? What's with this arrogant heroine-like speech?

If you were to say something like that and then change your hair color to blonde, it would be even more fitting.

Oh, you really were blonde.

In short, although he felt something was off about what Goetia said, after hearing his remarks, Rovey realized—

There's definitely potential here!

Goetia's hatred for himself, or rather Solomon, seems to have lessened; he even goes so far as to protect him.

Then, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Ignoring Goetia's stammering and attempts to justify his actions, Rovey shouted at him, "Goetia, do me a favor! Go and eliminate the remaining Eleven Children!"

"That's not what I wanted—huh? What did you say!?"

Goetia was still repeating those words, was taken aback by Rovey's sudden remark. He looked at Rovey below with some surprise, but quickly adjusted his mindset and spoke coldly, feigning arrogance.

"Incompetent king, are you saying you want me to help you? To help you eliminate the rest of those Demonic Beasts?"

Goetia looked at Rovey and then asked a question.

"Yes, help me, Goetia."

Rovey also made no attempt to hide his true feelings.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

After carefully confirming that she hadn't misheard, Goetia's eyelids twitched, and she continued to look at Rovey, asking incredulously, "You actually asked me for help? You, you arrogant guy, actually backed down to me, you, you're okay...?"

"I'm sure I have no problem, but Goetia, please help me this time, okay?"

Looking intently into Goetia's incredibly complex eyes, Rovey spoke again earnestly.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Goetia remained silent, instead meeting Rovey's gaze as always, seemingly deep in thought. Then, as if he had just realized something, he asked with amusement.

"Let me help you? Don't make me laugh! You incompetent king, have you finally realized your cowardice? Do you know your incompetence now?"

"That's right, I can easily find and eliminate all the monsters that come out, but—why should I help you?"
