One of the figures had orange hair and was wearing a white lab coat.
The other figure had long, silver-white hair and was wearing the uniform of the Chaldea.
" Ritsuka, how is it?"
" Dr. Roman? Director?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the two Projection.
"We've been observing the situation here from Chaldea."
Dr. Roman looked at the battlefield amidst the ruins.
"It seems... the situation is quite complicated."
Then his gaze swept over the people around him.
He glanced at Tomoe Gozen.
I glanced at Kotori.
"Oh! Is that Kotori Itsuka?!"
His voice suddenly became excited.
" Ritsuka! This is a great opportunity to get closer to a powerful Servant! Go for it, Ritsuka! I believe you can do it!"
"Good."
Olga Marie's voice rang out as well.
"This is indeed a good opportunity. I believe in you, Ritsuka."
"..."
An invisible black line appeared on Kotori's forehead.
"..."
It was also on Tomoe Gozen's forehead.
Even if you really want to get closer to me.
There's no need to say it so openly in front of you.
Is this person treating themselves like a game character?
Ritsuka Fujimaru seemed completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere.
After receiving "support" from Dr. Roman and the director, she seemed to be injected with adrenaline and walked straight towards Kotori.
"You must be Kotori Itsuka!"
A bright smile graced her face.
"My name is Ritsuka Fujimaru, and I come from Chaldea!"
What do you usually like to eat?
"..."
"Our Chaldea kitchen has a truly exceptional chef! Whatever you want to eat, he can make it! He'll definitely satisfy you, Miss Kotori!"
Kotori looked at the enthusiastic red-haired girl in front of her.
A radiant smile.
Outgoing and friendly.
She Niu.
Kotori had absolutely no idea how to deal with this type of person.
She put all her social skill points into combat, leaving her social skills tree completely empty.
"..."
She hid behind Tomoe Gozen without saying a word.
Tomoe Gozen was used as a shield.
Tomoe Gozen was caught in the middle.
Ahead of her is Ritsuka Fujimaru, whose enthusiasm is almost frightening.
Kotori was hiding behind him.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do.
Compared to these complex interpersonal issues, she is much better at fighting on the battlefield.
At least on the battlefield, friend and foe were clearly distinguishable.
But in this situation... they can't distinguish between friend and foe.
She was silent for two seconds.
Then he spoke.
"Um... Ritsuka Fujimaru- san, right?"
"Yes!"
Please don't make things difficult for Kotori.
"Make things difficult for her? I didn't make things difficult for her! I just wanted to be friends with her!"
But Kotori doesn't want to make friends.
"Huh? Why?"
Tomoe Gozen didn't know how to explain.
"Anyway... Kotori is rather shy."
Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at Kotori, who was hiding behind Tomoe Gozen.
"..."
She felt a little numb.
I really want to get along well with the other person.
But the other person only wanted to avoid him.
What exactly is going on?
I shouldn't have known this person before, right?
And why does Fou seem to know the other person quite well?
" Fou..."
Fou remained seated at Kotori's feet, refusing to go anywhere.
Is there some reason you're unaware of?
"Um... Miss Kotori, is she...?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru wanted to press for more information.
" Ritsuka!"
Dr. Roman's voice came through the communicator.
"Don't rush things! Feelings need to be nurtured gradually!"
"Yes, you should take a step back first; haste makes waste."
Olga Marie also spoke up.
"..."
Kotori peeked half her head out from behind Tomoe Gozen.
That invisible black line still hung on her forehead.
At this time.
Another loud bang came from the sky.
Golden rays of light pierced through the clouds.
The shockwave's aftershocks reached the ground, causing even the ruins beneath their feet to tremble.
The battle between Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl continues.
Moreover, its scale is getting larger and larger.
10,000 meters above the ground.
Above the clouds.
Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl fought as they traversed the sea of clouds.
Two figures moved back and forth among the clouds.
The Jaguar Man chased desperately behind the two, but the distance between them kept widening.
"Wait for me! You two, slow down!"
Nobody Human Order to her.
Ishtar unleashed a sweeping attack, her warhammer slamming towards Quetzalcoatl's side.
Quetzalcoatl blocked it with his saw-sword.
Their weapons clashed again.
This shockwave exploded within the clouds, scattering all the surrounding clouds.
"Your strength is indeed considerable!"
Quetzalcoatl said during the clash of weapons.
"But it's still far from my level!"
She exerted her strength suddenly.
The saw-sword pushed the warhammer away.
Then he swept a whip kick toward Ishtar's head.
Ishtar ducked to avoid it.
A few strands of hair were broken off by the wind.
"Hateful--!"
She stepped back a few meters.
The hand gripping the warhammer trembled slightly.
They had already brought out their trump card.
Why can't I beat this guy?
If only the Bull of Heaven were still around.
"Ha ha..."
Ishtar was panting.
Quetzalcoatl did not pursue her, but stood a few hundred meters away watching her.
Is that enough?
Quetzalcoatl's voice came through.
"Your magic power is already greatly depleted."
"You won't be able to hold on if you keep fighting."
"Shut up!"
Ishtar roared.
"I haven't lost yet!"
She gripped the warhammer tightly.
"... So it seems that's the only option left?"
Ishtar's expression changed.
All the Wrath and resentment I felt before vanished.
Instead, an unprecedented seriousness prevailed.
She raised the warhammer above her head.
The Seven-Headed Warhammer, Sheeta, began to glow in the air.
Golden magic surged from her body and poured into the divine artifact.
The clouds in the sky were dispersed by the golden light.
The entire sky above Uruk was dyed gold.
Everyone on the ground saw this.
"That is..."
Merlin narrowed his eyes.
"It's coming."
Gilgamesh stood up in the temple.
"That woman Ishtar is completely insane. If that attack lands, regardless of whether Quetzalcoatl survives beforehand, Uruk is definitely doomed."
In the sky.
Ishtar's voice came down from ten thousand meters above the ground.
The sound echoed throughout the skies of Uruk.
"I am Ishtar, the goddess of war and Venus."
"Even Mount Ebih, once revered by the gods, crumbled in my hands."
"With the power of the Seven-Serpent Divine Hammer, I will force all things in the world to bow down!"
The golden light within the warhammer had reached its peak.
All seven snakes had their heads open.
" The Heavenly Key Before Which All Creation Bows!!"
The warhammer swung towards Quetzalcoatl.
Golden light burst forth from the warhammer, transforming into a massive golden shockwave with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters.
The power of that strike almost filled the entire sky above 10,000 meters.
The entire sky was covered in golden light.
It was like a miniature sun exploding in the sky.
Quetzalcoatl watched as the golden torrent hurtled toward him.
Her expression also turned serious.
"... About that."
"I must give it my all."
She put the obsidian saw sword away.
Then she closed her eyes.
"My flame originates from that burned palace."
"To prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of the evil god, I personally reduced everything to ashes."
"That was my resolve, my strength."
She opened her eyes.
"The blazing flames also consume the gods."
Crimson flames erupted from her body, reaching temperatures so high that even the air at an altitude of ten thousand meters was burning.
That raging fire was a reenactment of the moment when she was forced to leave the Aztec, and in order to prevent her treasure from falling into the hands of the evil god Tezcatlipoca, she personally burned her own palace to the ground.
Flames engulfed Quetzalcoatl's entire body.
She concentrated all the flames in her body onto her right leg.
His entire body transformed into a crimson meteorite.
Unleash your Noble Phantasm with a flying kick.
"Bring it on!!"
The crimson meteorite rushed straight into the golden torrent.
The two Noble Phantasm collided at extremely high altitude.
boom!!!
In that instant.
The sky over Uruk turned into two colors.
The upper part is gold.
The lower half is crimson red.
The two colors crush, tear, and devour each other at the point of impact.
Then it exploded.
A white shockwave spread out from the point of impact.
The shockwave's diameter covered the entire visible sky.
Before the shockwave hit the ground in Uruk.
Uruk's protective barrier is fully activated.
A blue light curtain enveloped the entire city.
But even with the protective barrier fully open.
They were still powerless against the aftershocks of Noble Phantasm collision of this magnitude.
Numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier.
