"Bzzzt!"
At that moment, the trembling of space sounded like the trembling of the atmosphere itself, reaching everyone's ears.
"Ha!"
Without a word, Enkidu raised his power to its maximum output, causing golden ripples to flash through the space around him.

Goddess Ishtar finally reacted. Her eyes widened first, then she suddenly braked to a halt in midair before abruptly accelerating to her limit and rising sharply, evading the incoming chains.
