Even the most arrogant person wouldn't dare claim they could defeat the Underworld Goddess in a single round.

"Show me your true skills, Ereshkigal. This level of fighting is probably not enough to satisfy me. Do you want to keep fighting until dawn?"

Ishtar declared loudly, her hands never idle as she spoke.

Maana kept flying in the air, its front end constantly flashing.

Arrows of light shot towards the ground, and Ereshkigal on the ground kept shifting her position under the attack.

This made Ishtar feel a little bored, which is why she said to tell Ereshkigal to show her true abilities.

"No problem, I will take you to the underworld!"

Ereshkigal's voice came from the rising dust.

Too much sandstorm obscured the view, but a single, bright lamp seemed to shine through it all.

A sand dune in the distance was rapidly approaching.

Roar!

A gigantic object leaped out of the sand dunes, opening its gaping maw toward Ishtar in the sky.

Ishtar was startled and quickly pulled Maana up, flying higher into the sky.

"Hey, you actually attacked me from behind!"

Her tone was very dissatisfied; her earlier evasive maneuver had left her somewhat embarrassed.

Ereshkigal didn't speak, and continued to shake the railing in her hand.

The entire desert seemed to writhe as if it were alive, though from a distance it might not seem like anything special.

But from high above, Ishtar had a clear view of everything.

The desert is likely connected to the underworld beneath, and the entire desert is now under Ereshkigal's control.

Ishtar dared not lower his altitude and could only bombard the enemy from a distance.

However, such an attack obviously had no effect on Ereshkigal.

How could Ereshkigal, who had already subtly connected the desert to the underworld, possibly be harmed by such inaccurate shooting?

"Looks like we'll have to go for something big."

Ishtar lowered her head, looking at Ereshkigal on the ground and muttering to herself.

"Ereshkigal, let's settle this with the next strike!"

Ishtar shouted.

"Maana!"

Suddenly, the Ship Maana beside Ishtar leaped into the air, carrying her to an even greater height, where the fierce wind made her clothes flutter loudly.

The launch bay opened, flashing with dazzling light, and the enormous Maana, like a giant crossbow with its bowstring taut, was aimed at Ereshkigal.

From the great heavens to the great earth!

Ereshkigal's eyes narrowed upon seeing this. Of course she knew what Ishtar was up to; she knew Ishtar better than anyone else.

Given this, she naturally wouldn't back down.

Ishtar hoped to decide the outcome with this final blow, Ereshkigal, as she wished, neither turned back nor dodged, but charged straight at her.

"The sky has an insurmountable sea, and the earth has prisons!"

Ereshkigal's spear came to a heavy halt, her magical power surging, and at this moment she could no longer hold back.

She was about to face the full force of Venus, the Venus Goddess.

The entire desert suddenly surged wildly, as if it were being boiled; the ground trembled continuously, and yellow sand flew everywhere.

The desert, which is usually difficult to change, is slowly forming a peculiar landscape, as if the underworld has truly risen from the ground.

Whether it's Ishtar in the sky or Ereshkigal on the ground.

At this moment, both of them gathered their aura to the maximum.

Those with keen senses would probably have fainted by now; the atmosphere was suffocating, like the end of the world.

The Magus felt the magic power surging wildly through their Magic Circuits, and they endured excruciating pain.

Who is it? What is it? What happened?

Even the Clock Tower on the other side of the world was thrown into chaos by this.

Is this the end of the world?

In the next instant, everything in the world lost its color and its sound.

Heaven and earth suddenly collided.

"The An Gal Ta Kigal She! (An Gal Ta Kigal She)"

"The Hraesvelgr, Embrace of the Underworld! (Kur Kigal Irkalla)"

Boom!

Like an echo from the beginning of time, it resonates in everyone's heart.

The Magus, finally free from their suffering, fainted with happiness.

Yuxian is also feeling very unwell, but fortunately, with Heracles and Mash's shields in front of him, he managed to avoid embarrassingly fainting.

Why can't he understand why he had to come and watch the game live...?

At Crystal Hill, Gilgamesh said to Tinī, "Temporarily sever your magical connection with the earth and stand behind me!"

Tinī gritted her teeth and persevered. Upon hearing Golden Flash's words, she hurriedly followed his instructions and temporarily severed the magical connection between herself and the earth.

As the patriarch of the Guardians of the Land Clan, she can draw magic from the earth, but now it is clear that Tinī is unable to compete with the Underworld Goddess for control of the earth.

If the magical connection is not severed, and a magical backflow occurs, her small body will be instantly drained.

"Two crazy women!"

Golden Flash cursed in a low voice.

Tinī lowered her head and dared not speak, but looking at the king's back made her feel at ease.

In the dream world, Kagarioka Tsubaki was so frightened by this situation that she trembled and hid under the covers, curling up with her head in her hands.

Edmond merely tilted his head slightly, and after sensing the situation, he made no further move.

The loud noise from afar will not cause any real damage to the Kagarioka Tsubaki.

He didn't know how to comfort the little girl.

Edmond made no move, but the plague that had been missing returned. Its dark form suddenly grew enormous, engulfing the entire Hellhill Palace in the dream world.

Kagarioka Tsubaki suddenly realized that the frightening sound was gone, and she finally relaxed.

She glanced at the Mr. Darky outside the window, then at Edmond standing motionless, her eyes dimming.

Francheska had already moved the Magecraft workshop that had been suspended in the sky long ago; leaving it hanging in mid-air at this point was practically suicidal.

This fleeting clash of Noble Phantasm had an unpredictable impact on the entire Holy Grail War.

As for the two at the center of the Noble Phantasm, Ishtar and Ereshkigal.

They each ruled over heaven and earth, frantically drawing upon magic and vying against each other.

At this moment, no one can see what is happening inside; they can only quietly wait for the outcome.

Who will ultimately emerge victorious? Or will both sides suffer heavy losses?

Section 551, Chapter 37: Everything Will Be Alright

The massive Noble Phantasm storm slowly dissipated, but the desert dust still filled the sky.

In the vast expanse of yellow sand, a figure gradually walked towards Yuxian.

"Ereshkigal!"

Yuxian called out in surprise, recognizing Ereshkigal immediately, and was overjoyed.

Ereshkigal won.

Ereshkigal held the unconscious Philia in her arms.

Ishtar is gone, Philia, unable to withstand the battle, has fallen into a coma.

"You're really amazing, Ereshkigal."

Yuxian went up to her and said to Ereshkigal with a smile.

Ereshkigal's face flushed slightly, and she raised her head confidently, saying, "Of course, I'm the older sister, how could I lose to my younger sister?"

Just like Ereshkigal said to Ishtar, she is the older sister, so of course she has to maintain her authority as the older sister. Losing to her younger sister is absolutely unacceptable.

"How is she?" Yuxian asked, looking at Philia in Ereshkigal's hands.

"It's nothing, she just fainted and will wake up in a while," Ereshkigal replied. "Ishtar is quite sensible; she wasn't seriously hurt."

Yuxian nodded. Ishtar may be reckless, but she is a benevolent goddess at heart.

"Let's go back first. Today was really tense and exciting. I'm feeling tired now."

Mash couldn't help but retort, "Master, didn't you do nothing?"

Yuxian scratched his head awkwardly. It seemed that was indeed the case. He had just gone through the motions, but why did he feel tired?

"Let's go, let's go. Teacher Chiron is still waiting for us. Don't let him worry."

If you can't figure it out, just decide not to think about it. Yuxian quickly turned around and strode back.

As this legendary battle came to an end, all the Magus in Snowfield breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their brows.

They probably won't be in the mood to wander around tonight.

Back at their lodgings, Chiron greeted everyone with a smile.

Yuxian blinked curiously at Sigma, who was exercising nearby.

"Teacher Chiron is really easy to talk to."

This scene clearly shows Chiron teaching Sigma. This Great Sage is not at all stingy with his knowledge; even though Sigma and he have only known each other for a day, he still teaches him with all his might.

Chiron smiled but didn't explain anything. These weren't important matters; if someone was willing to learn, he was willing to teach.

In a sense, Chiron was somewhat of a know-it-all.

Teaching disciples is one of his few pleasures.

After Yu Xian Yuxian on the sofa and caught his breath, Chiron walked to his side and said with a serious expression, "Master, there is something I need to tell you... about Kagarioka Tsubaki."

"Huh?" Yuxian was taken aback, then fired off a barrage of questions, "Kagarioka Tsubaki? How is she? Is there anything wrong with her? Do you have any way to wake her up?"

Yuxian had some understanding of Kagarioka Tsubaki's general condition, and he asked Chiron to take care of Kagarioka Tsubaki, also hoping that Chiron could provide him with medical treatment.

Now that Chiron has suddenly brought this up, Yuxian, disregarding his rest, immediately stands up.

Chiron shook his head. "The situation is not optimistic."

His face was pale, and he frowned as he slowly said, "Her lesion is in her brain. I already had Sigma go to the Central Hospital to get her medical records."

"Brain?" Yuxian's expression turned extremely ugly. The most important organ in the human body is undoubtedly the brain, and even the smallest disease in the brain is extremely serious.

"Is there a solution?" Yuxian looked up at Chiron, his eyes filled with anticipation.

But all he saw was Chiron gently shaking his head, and his anticipation instantly turned into disappointment.

"Even you, Teacher Chiron, can't do anything about it?"

Chiron sighed and said with great pity, "There are unknown bacteria in her brain, and it is these bacteria that are suppressing her nerves and causing her to fall into a coma."

"The bacteria are already closely connected with her."

"Most importantly, these bacteria are actually part of her Magic Circuits... There is no way to separate them without harming her."
