Kotori looked at the spot where Tomoe Gozen had fallen.
She checked.
Tomoe Gozen was only slightly thrown and was not in any life-threatening danger.
"Never mind."
Kotori withdrew her attention from the battlefield below.
She made no move to stop it.
Just keep watching this show from the sky.
Quetzal fought his way to the temple gates.
"Hey! Ishtar! Come out!"
I know you're in there!
Bang--!
A beam of red light shot out from inside the temple.
Ishtar flew out from the temple's dome, with the Skybow Maanna floating beside her.
" Quetzal!"
"How dare you come here to cause trouble!"
"Oh~ Here it comes."
Quetzal smiled as he watched Ishtar fly out.
"Perfect timing, I haven't stretched my muscles in ages."
"Bring it on!"
Two figures simultaneously shot into the sky.
Ishtar goes first.
She raised her hand and waved it, and a red gem shot out from her fingertip.
The gem traced a red trail in the air as it flew toward Quetzal.
Quetzal Koyatl dodged to the side.
The gem grazed past her cheek and exploded against the wall behind her.
"Too slow~"
Her figure disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were directly in front of Ishtar.
A straight punch.
Bang--!
The fist struck Ishtar squarely in the abdomen.
Ishtar was sent flying by a single punch.
But she quickly regained her balance in mid-air.
"You--!"
She gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and shot out three more gems.
Blue, green, and purple.
Three beams of light of different colors shot towards Quetzal simultaneously.
Quetzal Koyatl did not dodge.
She charged straight at them.
The three gems shattered the moment they touched her body with her palm.
"How naive!"
Her figure disappeared again.
They appeared behind Ishtar.
A beautiful Germany back throw.
Two figures fell from the sky.
Bang--!!
Ishtar slammed her back hard onto the square in front of the temple.
The ground cracked.
Dust flew everywhere.
"Well...!"
Ishtar lay on the ground, coughing up blood.
"Ha, is that all?"
Quetzal Koyatl stood up from her.
"What about Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon? Was it not used?"
"Or is it that... this is all the strength Uruk has?"
She looked around.
Anyone else want to give it a try?
No one answered.
All the Servant could stand had fallen.
Ishtar struggled to get up, but the impact of the fall was too great, and she couldn't move her body for the time being.
Quetzal Koyatl sighed.
"As expected, I'll have to personally take care of all of you."
She raised her hand.
He walked towards Ishtar.
"Wait a moment!"
A voice came from the direction of the street.
Ritsuka Fujimaru stood there.
Panting heavily.
She ran all the way here.
"Who are you..."
Quetzal Koyatl looked at her.
"Humans?"
My name is Ritsuka Fujimaru!
I want to talk to you!
What should we talk about?
"Explain why you attacked Uruk!"
"Aren't you members of the Three Goddess Alliance? Aren't you here to destroy humanity?"
"Then why didn't you kill anyone?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru's voice was very loud.
"From now until now, you've defeated so many soldiers and so many Servant, but not a single one has died!"
"They were all just knocked unconscious by you!"
"You didn't want to kill them at all, did you?"
Quetzal Koyatl paused for a moment.
"Hmph, that's because I'm not good at killing."
"That's a lie."
Ritsuka Fujimaru took a step forward.
"You don't actually want to destroy humanity, do you?"
"You just... don't want the Holy Grail to fall into the hands of Ishtar or Gorgon, so you're using this method to keep them in check!"
"You're actually on the side of humanity, aren't you!"
Quetzal Koyatl looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru.
There was a few seconds of silence.
Then she smiled.
Hahahaha!
"Interesting!"
"This human is really interesting!"
She crouched down to be at eye level with Ritsuka Fujimaru.
"Do you know that, humans?"
"I am the supreme god of South America."
"In all mythologies, I am the most supreme being."
Why should we help you humans?
Ritsuka Fujimaru looked into Quetzal Koyatl's eyes.
"You joined the Three Goddess Alliance because you wanted to prevent the other two goddesses from obtaining the Holy Grail in your own way."
"If you really wanted to destroy Uruk, all those soldiers would have been dead by now."
"You didn't kill him."
Quetzal Koyatl remained silent.
Then she stood up.
"Okay, okay."
"I admit, you're quite an interesting person."
"But these words alone are not enough to make this god switch sides."
"What if we add this?"
A voice came from the side.
The Jaguar Man walked over from the other end of the street.
She had been standing to the side the whole time and hadn't participated in the fight.
Now she walked up to Ritsuka Fujimaru.
" Jaguar Man? What do you mean?"
Quetzal Koyatl looked at her.
I mean...
The Jaguar Man walked up to Ritsuka Fujimaru and pointed at her with his long staff.
"This human just exchanged a few words with me."
"I've been touched by her sincere words."
"So I've decided to help her."
"Ha?"
Quetzal Koyatl looked at the Jaguar Man.
What nonsense are you talking about?
"That's not nonsense."
Quetzal Koyatl looked at the Jaguar Man.
The smile on his face vanished.
" Jaguar Man, are you serious?"
"Seriously."
The Jaguar Man's golden, beastly eyes stared directly at her.
"This leopard has made its decision."
"You think a mere human can convince you?"
Quetzal Koyatl's voice deepened.
Where is your divinity? Where is your pride?
My pride comes from following what I believe is the right path.
Quetzal Koyatl cracked his neck.
"Okay."
"I only came here today to give you a warning."
"Since you want to play for real--"
She pushed off the ground with her foot.
The ground cracked.
"Then I'll play with you."
Ishtar got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
" Quetzal... don't get too cocky."
Beside her, the Heavenly Bow, Maanna, unfolded once more.
The light in her red eyes reignited.
"I just didn't warm up properly."
"Oh, I'm really sorry."
Quetzal Koyatl grinned.
"Then let me see the full power of both of you."
The three figures moved almost simultaneously.
Ishtar made the first move.
The Heavenly Bow, Maanna, is drawn taut, and a pure golden magic bullet condenses on the string.
"Try this trick!"
The bullet was fired.
The speed was several times faster than the previous Jewel Magecraft.
Quetzal Koyatl did not dodge.
She charged straight at the bullet.
At the moment of contact, a spinning kick deflected the projectile, which eventually blasted a hole in the distant city wall.
Then Quetzal Koyatl charged at Ishtar.
An uppercut.
Ishtar leaned back to dodge, the force of the punch grazing her nose.
She used the backward leaning posture to flip in the air, creating distance.
At the same time, two gems popped out of his hand.
Quetzal parried with his elbow, and the gem was deflected in the explosion.
But at that moment...
Hey!
The Jaguar Man's figure appeared from the side.
The long staff, leaving a golden afterimage, slammed towards the back of Quetzal.
Quetzal Koyatl blocked with a backhand.
Bang!
The staff and her arm collided, producing a metallic clang.
"Not bad strength!"
Quetzal Koyatl was knocked back a step.
But she immediately retaliated.
A low sweeping kick was aimed at the Jaguar Man's leg.
The Jaguar Man jumped up to dodge.
Upon landing, the staff once again jabbed towards Quetzal's abdomen.
Quetzal Koyatl turned to the side.
The long staff grazed her side.
She instinctively grabbed the long staff.
"Got you?"
She pulled hard.
The Jaguar Man's body was pulled towards him.
Quetzal Koyatl's knee slammed into the Jaguar Man's abdomen.
Bang!
The Jaguar Man was forced to bend over.
But she did not loosen her grip on the cane.
Instead, taking advantage of the closer distance, he rammed headfirst into Quetzal's face.
"Waaah!"
Quetzal Koyatl was knocked back two steps, covering his nose.
"You--!"
"Hey-hey."
The Jaguar Man took the opportunity to create distance.
A smug smile played on his lips.
"It hurts a little..."
Quetzal Koyatl lowered his hand.
There was a red mark on his nose.
You've really angered me.
Quetzal's previous carefree attitude, as if he were playing with a child, has disappeared.
Instead, there was an oppressive aura akin to that of a supreme god.
The air grew heavy.
Ishtar felt the pressure.
" Mash! Ritsuka Fujimaru! Back off!"
Mash immediately pulled Ritsuka Fujimaru and ran back about ten meters.
Fou got all pricked up in Mash's arms.
" Fou!!"
A weapon suddenly appeared in Quetzal's hand.
It was an obsidian saw sword.
The sides of the wooden sword plate were inlaid with thin slices of black obsidian, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
