Someone in the Multiverse, Transformed into Fu Hua at the Start Chapter 14

She proudly lifted her head: "When that time comes, you'll shout 'Ohh! Ishtar really is the goddess of victory! How infuriating!' and then off yourself, leaving Uruk for me to protect!"

"Not a chance, you fool! And my Uruk is currently under Lianjie, what calendar are you reading from! I even agreed to open your Eanna (bedchamber) to you! And you show not a single shred of remorse!"

Gilgamesh roared back.

"How could I! If anything, I should be the one burning with rage! Eanna was always mine, what right do you have to seal it whenever you want!" Ishtar roared back just as loudly.

This kindergarten-level quarrel left everyone sweating awkwardly.

"Both of you, please stop here!" Siduri had no choice but to intervene: "My king, perhaps you should explain the next task."

"Hmph! Since Siduri says so, Imperial We will let this go." Gilgamesh snorted coldly, then turned to business.

No can do, folks, might only be one update today. Something big happened at home these past two days, and I only just got back not long ago. But don't worry, I'll make it up once it's resolved. Currently owe two chapters.

Still asking for support and bookmarks! Your support is my motivation to keep updating!1

Chapter 30: Amber's Shock (Two-in-One)

"Now the strategy against the Three Goddess Alliance is about to unfold fully before Imperial We, but one last pillar remains unclear."

Gilgamesh said: "So, you have two tasks next."

He held up two fingers: "First, learn the true identity of the Jungle Goddess currently occupying Eridu—this can be known now. Second, retrieve Marduk's Axe located in Eridu."

"Marduk's Axe?" Ritsuka looked at Mash.

"Marduk is a powerful deity who defeated the Tiamat Goddess and became the King of Gods in legend, and the weapon he used to defeat the Tiamat Goddess was that Marduk's Axe." As a walking encyclopedia, Mash naturally knew this allusion, but she was also puzzled: "However, what would retrieving this axe accomplish...?"

Everyone was well aware that Amber, or rather the Crimson Kite Immortal, was like an unstoppable blade; none of the enemies encountered so far could withstand even a single blow from her.

Moreover, although that goddess called herself Tiamat, she wasn't the real Tiamat after all. It was hard to say how useful Marduk's Axe would really be.

Gilgamesh understood this logic too, but the future seen by his Clairvoyance emphasized the importance of Marduk's Axe. Though the future was still shrouded in thick fog, he was certain that all available power in Uruk needed to be gathered in his hands.

Since Gilgamesh said so, everyone naturally had no further questions.

Then, Gilgamesh looked at Ishtar: "So, the identity of the Jungle Goddess is?"

"Well... telling you this much won't hurt, consider it consolation for your bleeding wallet."

Ishtar didn't intend to make things difficult: "It's the Feathered Serpent God, a Venus Goddess like me, and also the great sun bird, the wind of South America, Quetzalcoatl."

The moment these words came out, everyone except Amber and Ritsuka felt a chill run down their spines.

Merlin's face turned serious: "That Mayan conqueror king, the Toltec sun god?"

Roman couldn't believe it either: "Isn't that a main deity level!? Far surpassing Gorgon, a great god on par with the real Tiamat Goddess!"

Ritsuka belatedly realized the power of this Quetzal, then looked at Amber, whose expression had never changed: "If it's the Immortal..."

Unlike these people, Amber had no idea how powerful this so-called main deity was. All she could sense was that Gorgon was indeed quite weak—after all, she had used her Sword Heart without Sword Intent and knocked her out cold. If she had truly used the full power of this body, killing her on the spot might not have been impossible.

And if it came to this body's full power, she could even say to Gorgon, who was lucky to survive, 'Then what about the second one?'

For this Crimson Kite Immortal's prime body, using maximum-output Sword God was no different from throwing a punch or a kick. She didn't use internal True Qi; she used external energy, freely as she pleased, with no risk of exhaustion.

Therefore, she couldn't say for sure who would win between her and that Quetzal.

Seeing Amber silent, Ritsuka lowered his head in silence too. After a moment, he said: "Maybe we could try talking..."

"That would be very difficult too." Ishtar wasn't optimistic: "South America is different from other places. They aren't natives born from the planet, but came with an asteroid. By your terms, you could call them aliens."

"This..." Is there something wrong with that?

Ritsuka was puzzled.

"Because they're aliens, they can still exist even after the Common Era, and perhaps because of that, their values are very different from ours." Seeing everyone present looking eager to listen, Ishtar had to explain: "What we consider good might be evil to them, and vice versa. So to win her over, you'd first have to understand how her brain works."

"How her brain works..." Everyone frowned in thought.

"Using Clairvoyance..." Anna looked at Merlin.

"Unfortunately, it's useless." Merlin smiled, then looked at Ishtar beside him: "Aren't there many myths about mortals spying on goddesses' forms? In every legend, the spy's fate is hardly good."

Ishtar showed a matter-of-course smile: "Of course, spying on a goddess's privacy means bearing her wrath. Isn't that only natural?"

So even with Clairvoyance, one couldn't casually peek at a goddess—whether Merlin or Gilgamesh, it was the same.

The scene fell into cold silence again.

Boom!

A massive tremor came from afar, and with the first sound, a second and third followed in succession.

"What's going on?" Gilgamesh frowned.

"My king! Something terrible! A woman calling herself Quetzalcoatl has shattered the south city wall with her bare hands and invaded Uruk! She's heading straight for the Divine Tower!" A soldier ran in from outside, panting as he reported the situation.

"Quetzalcoatl!? That's not..." Mash exclaimed in shock.

"Stop the rampaging goddess immediately! Drive her back to the jungle!" Gilgamesh ordered decisively.

"Yes!" Ritsuka accepted the command, then led Mash and Anna as they ran out of the temple.

Amber naturally wouldn't stand by and watch the goddess wreak havoc, so she followed the group.

When they reached the south gate, all they saw were human corpses lying all over the ground, and a golden-haired goddess in bright attire.

"Oh? Are there children who want to join?" The golden-haired goddess also noticed the four who had arrived, raising an eyebrow and smiling as she said, "Although today's quota is already full, if you have the courage to fight me, I wouldn't mind letting you cut in line and join."

"Mash! Anna!" Ritsuka didn't dare let his guard down for a moment. He activated a reinforcement spell he wasn't particularly skilled at, directly injecting it into Anna's body.

It wasn't that he distrusted Mash's strength—rather, precisely because he believed Mash's defenses could never be breached, Ritsuka unhesitatingly reinforced the attacker of the pair.

"Stop your rampage, goddess of South America!" Anna felt the sudden surge in power and wasted no words, charging straight at Quetzalcoatl, her sickle swinging down fiercely.

Yet facing Anna's attack, Quetzalcoatl casually blocked it with one hand. "Haha, you don't seem like the power type. Coming at me so boldly—are you sure that's okay?"

Her answer came from Anna's chains, which she manipulated to coil around the goddess's feet.

"Hehe, you'd better hide your intentions better next time!" Quetzalcoatl naturally noticed, laughing as she leaped behind Anna, aiming for a back throw, but was intercepted by Mash, who followed closely and blocked the move with her shield.

Anna, caught in her grip, broke free and retreated to the side.

"So strong..." Anna couldn't help gritting her teeth.

Unlike Ishtar, this goddess's power was fully displayed in close combat. They had engaged Ishtar in melee before, and while they couldn't do anything to her either, the pressure was completely different. Now, she felt the goddess before her had no openings, leaving her unsure how to attack.

"Mm, that move looked much better." Quetzalcoatl showed no sense of crisis, even cheerfully critiquing Anna.

Seeing this, Mash couldn't help demanding, "You smile so kindly, and I can't feel any killing intent or malice...! So why kill so many people?"

"Because those people haven't died."

Before Quetzalcoatl could answer, Amber spoke up.

"Senior..." Hearing this, Mash paused, then calmly observed the situation. Yes, though a group of humans lay on the ground with bloodstains everywhere, a closer look revealed their bodies still had the rise and fall of breath.

"Oh my?"

Quetzalcoatl showed no embarrassment at being exposed, instead smiling as she looked at Amber approaching her. "So you'll be Big Sister's opponent now?"

"What is your goal?" Amber didn't answer but posed a question instead. "If you wanted to destroy Uruk, these people would already be dead."

For the first time since arriving in this world, she felt she was facing a 'formidable enemy.' This goddess before her was unlike any opponent she had encountered before—someone who could make her take things seriously.

"Hmm... If I had to say, it's for survival." Just as Amber could sense Quetzalcoatl's strength, Quetzalcoatl naturally sensed that Amber was no pushover either. Yet this didn't make her wary or cautious—instead, it delighted her further, and she cheerfully explained, "I love humans. I want to coexist with them, because humans are the value of our existence."

"Then why attack Uruk?" Amber frowned.

But this time, Quetzalcoatl didn't answer directly. She paused, couldn't help tilting her head, and finally raised a hand to block Amber's gaze.

This move left everyone confused.

"I've been meaning to say this," Quetzalcoatl finally spoke. "I should have come to Uruk sooner. I never expected to meet so many appealing people here."

"?" The confusion deepened.

Yet Quetzalcoatl's behavior seemed to confirm Ishtar's earlier words—they really couldn't understand this goddess's train of thought.

No, come to think of it, even with Ishtar, a native goddess of this planet, they hadn't understood her at first either.

"Nothing!" Quetzalcoatl's cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly composed her expression and mood, then explained again, "What I mean by survival value isn't some optional hobby. It's a direction—I can't survive without doing this."

"That's my divinity. I can't survive without toying with humans. So to ensure humans are there for me to toy with, humanity must continue." Quetzalcoatl said. "That's why I'll take these children back and train them—train them to the point where they can survive hardship."

Her words reminded Amber of Ereshkigal.

"I see..." With Ereshkigal as a precedent, Amber had little trouble understanding Quetzalcoatl, and she remarked, "You're protecting humans in your own way."

"Exactly."

Quetzalcoatl smiled.

Though the situation didn't match her expectations, having a human who could understand her appear before her wasn't a bad feeling.

"That said, I can't let you take them." Amber continued.

"Of course. After all, our positions differ." Unlike Ereshkigal, Quetzalcoatl wasn't surprised by Amber's words. "The Demon Beast Front fights for humanity's world. You, who oppose goddess interference, naturally have reason to stand against me."

With that, she assumed a combat stance. "But I have my position too."

Amber said no more. Even if they understood and appreciated each other, differing positions meant conflict was inevitable.

Their figures clashed swiftly. Though she held no weapon, Amber could manifest any sword form using her body's sword soul. Every punch and palm strike held profound mystery, and even the Feathered Serpent God, with her rich combat experience and mastery of simplicity, couldn't help being impressed.

Unlike the strength she had shown against Anna and Mash, facing Amber—who gave her a strong impression of power—every move Quetzalcoatl made carried force that could easily shatter mountains.

Even though both perfectly controlled their power, minimizing its leakage, the surrounding bricks and buildings still showed clear cracks and collapses.

They couldn't fight here for long! Amber realized this.

Ink-black flames instantly ignited around her fists and feet. Quetzalcoatl, instead of being alarmed, was delighted, and golden flames blazed on her body as well.

The heat made it impossible for the others to stay put. Amber leaped directly outside the city.

Quetzalcoatl, caught up in the thrill of battle, followed without hesitation.

Their fight made Amber frown deeply. Not just her—even Fu Hua, who had been watching, found it strange.

Fu Hua had seen countless battles. She knew Garuda's regenerative abilities well. Amber and Quetzalcoatl had exchanged over a hundred moves, trading blows back and forth. Even if Amber recovered quickly from hits, the damage was real—so why did her attacks on the opponent seem to have no effect at all?

She had only seen this level of defense in Kevin; even Cosmos couldn't achieve such resilience.

Amber realized this too.

This defensive power was utterly astonishing, causing her to feel a sense of panic for the first time. As the two fought, her injuries multiplied; though she could recover instantly, the fact that her opponent showed no sign of depletion forced her to create distance first.

"The divine is the ultimate of transformation, the marvel of all things expressed in words, beyond the reach of form." Soaring into midair, Amber used the Sword God without hesitation.

Unlike before, now somewhat cornered, she fully unleashed all the power of the Crimson Kite Immortal. The true form of Garuda spread behind her, and a colossal crimson sword, piercing heaven and earth, wreathed in flames that could incinerate everything, closed in on Quetzalcoatl in an instant.

"Tai Xu Sword Qi, Divine Aggregate!"

I've been a bit busy these past couple of days, but it's mostly over. I'll go out one more time tomorrow, then things will return to normal, and I'll find a chance to make up for the two missing chapters.

But there's another problem: this volume has at most another week left, and I haven't even started thinking about the next one yet! 4

Chapter 31: The Feathered Serpent God's Affection

Flames dyed the sky red, burning outside the city. Even at a considerable distance, the scorching residual heat made one feel singed. Looking at the skin on their arms about to be burned, Ritsuka and the others had to suppress the urge to rush forward and assist.

Unlike the Sword God used before, this time it was not purely a spiritual attack; it carried physical damage on par with the spiritual. The once-flat ground now bore a crater over a hundred meters wide, along with a crack stretching perhaps over a kilometer, its end nowhere in sight.

Yet what Amber couldn't believe was that even after enduring such an attack, the South American chief god was merely a bit disheveled, her expression still spirited and lively.

"An attack this powerful—even I can't fully take it head-on."

Quetzalcoatl's expression was excited: "And this kind of attack doesn't cost you much, does it?"

As a fellow top-tier god-king of the divine age, Quetzalcoatl could naturally sense that the surrounding mana had been drained by half in an instant. Though a steady stream of mana immediately replenished it, she had caught that momentary state.

Indeed.

Divine Aggregate wasn't a significant drain on her—it just required a certain amount of focus.

She couldn't exactly spam it as a basic attack, but firing off dozens in a row, resting a few seconds, then firing off dozens more was easy. Garuda's recovery wasn't limited to the body; it also kept her energy perpetually abundant.

"To take that move without a scratch—continuing to use it would only cause more destruction." Amber's mood was low; she felt helpless for the first time, but her expression remained calm and composed, as if she still had cards up her sleeve.

She did indeed have more cards.

Not to mention that the Recognition, boosted to 5600 thanks to Ereshkigal's generous contribution, could be gambled on, but just what she had on hand—Feathered Dust—was already a lethal weapon.
