10,000 meters above the ground.
Golden light and crimson flames remained locked in a standoff at the point of impact.
Quetzalcoatl Koyatl gritted his teeth, all the muscles in his body tensing to their limit.
"Is Ishtar a madman?"
She cursed inwardly.
They actually released a Noble Phantasm of this caliber over the last city of humanity.
The power was so great that even he himself almost couldn't suppress it.
"If that blow were to hit the ground..."
She dared not think about it.
It would cause at least permanent damage on the scale of a continental plate.
The entire Mesopotamia plain would be blasted into a giant crater hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
At that point, not only Uruk, but all life on this continent will be wiped out.
"Hateful,"
Quetzalcoatl's entire body erupted in flames once more.
The crimson flames temporarily suppressed the advance of the golden torrent.
But it's only temporary.
Ishtar's Noble Phantasm is rated A+++.
My Noble Phantasm is only A-rank.
However, the strength of Divine Servant's Noble Phantasm can no longer be measured solely by its level.
There is a difference in the size of their Spirit Origin.
He himself is a true Divine Servant Spirit Origin, with a scale almost at the limit of a normal Spirit Origin.
Ishtar, however, descended through possession, manifesting in a human body; her Spirit Origin origin and Divinity are inferior to her own.
Even so, the clash of their Noble Phantasm did not result in a one-sided outcome.
Because Ishtar's Noble Phantasm level is what it is.
The two Noble Phantasm collided at extremely high altitude for more than ten seconds.
Then both beams of light collapsed simultaneously.
The golden and crimson light exploded and dissipated simultaneously at the point of impact.
No one won, and no one lost.
have equal shares.
"Huff... huff..."
Quetzalcoatl was panting heavily.
Ishtar's condition was even worse than hers.
The Seven-Headed Warhammer, Sheeta, slipped from her grasp and vanished into thin air.
She was suspended in mid-air, barely able to keep flying.
The magic has been completely exhausted.
So, therefore...
Ishtar's voice was intermittent.
"It's a tie...?"
"No."
Quetzalcoatl looked at her.
"I won."
Ishtar paused for a moment.
"Your magic is exhausted, while I still have some left."
Quetzalcoatl slowly floated to Ishtar's side.
In conclusion, I am the winner.
"You--"
Ishtar wanted to refute.
But she couldn't speak.
Because what the other party said is true.
She doesn't even have the strength to lift a finger now.
"But,"
Quetzalcoatl did not continue to close in.
She glanced down.
The aftershocks of the collision of the two Noble Phantasm are spreading towards the ground.
Although the two Noble Phantasm canceled out most of their power during the collision.
However, the remaining shockwaves were still too much for Uruk's protective barrier to withstand.
"Tsk."
Quetzalcoatl frowned.
"Am I supposed to clean up this mess again?"
She glanced down at the city of Uruk.
Then he sighed.
"Seriously, what day is it today?"
"I just wanted to say hello."
"As a result, the Jaguar Man betrayed his side at the last minute."
"Then I ran into that crazy woman Ishtar."
Was my A+ luck just a hoax?
"We encountered far too many unexpected events today, didn't we?"
She muttered to herself.
But he still stretched his hands downwards.
"Alright--"
Quetzalcoatl poured all the remaining magic in his body into his power.
The power of the wind god.
The air around her began to move violently.
A gust of wind rose from the ground and swept into the sky.
"You are the master of the storm."
"Awaken the calamity that destroyed primordial humanity at the dawn of creation."
"Blow everything away, wipe everything clean."
"A fierce wind, descend from the highest heavens!"
The gale transformed into a massive tornado column.
It stretches from the ground in Uruk all the way up to 10,000 meters in the air.
The tornado is rotating upwards.
It carried away all the aftershocks from the collision of the Noble Phantasm, and then blew them towards the sky, towards the higher stratosphere, and towards outer space.
The aftershocks, powerful enough to destroy the continent, were swept away by the gale and left the atmosphere.
It dissipated into the vacuum of the universe.
Uruk has been saved.
Although the protective barrier was covered in cracks, at least the people were unharmed.
Everyone on the ground saw the enormous tornado shooting straight into the sky.
After the wind stopped.
Quetzalcoatl let out a heavy sigh.
Her face was also a little pale.
That attack just now didn't come without a price.
She's not in a good state right now either.
"Call..."
She glanced down.
Those people were still looking up at her.
"She originally came here to put pressure on these humans."
"That battle just now must have put them under considerable pressure, right?"
That's all for today.
She whistled downwards.
A gigantic figure flew in from the distant clouds.
That was a Quetzalcoatlus.
With a wingspan exceeding twenty meters, its entire body is covered in emerald green feathers.
The pterosaur flew to Quetzalcoatl's side and hovered in the air.
Quetzalcoatl flipped over and mounted the pterosaur's back.
Then she reached out and grabbed Ishtar by the back of her collar.
Hey—what are you doing! Let go of me!
Ishtar struggled.
But she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.
" Quetzalcoatlus, grab it!"
The pterosaur tilted its head and snatched Ishtar in its jaws.
"Waaaaah--!"
Ishtar was carried in the mouth of a pterosaur.
Its limbs dangled down, like a kitten being held in the jaws of a large cat.
I can't move at all.
"Alright."
Quetzalcoatl patted the pterosaur's neck.
Let's go home.
Pterosaur flapping its wings.
The enormous figure began to fly towards the dense southern forest.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"Put me down! This goddess doesn't want to be...!"
"Quiet."
Quetzalcoatl glanced back down below.
"I just wanted to say hello today, but something unexpected happened."
"I'll take Ishtar with me as spoils of war."
Her voice reached the ears of everyone on the ground.
Then her expression turned serious.
" Master from Chaldea, and people of Uruk."
"Live in fear of me."
"Or, you may choose to submit to me."
"When I return to Uruk, tell me your choice."
"At that time, I will decide whether you will be destroyed or ruled by me."
She finished speaking.
Pterosaur accelerates.
It flew away without looking back.
The emerald green silhouette grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared on the southern horizon.
On the ground.
Everyone remained in a posture of looking up.
No one spoke.
"She... is gone?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru's voice broke the silence.
"They're gone."
Merlin nodded.
"They even carried Ishtar away."
"..."
Ritsuka Fujimaru looked towards the southern horizon.
The duck in my beak flew away.
No, it's that the goddess I had already won over was snatched away by someone else.
Who can I complain to about this?
The Jaguar Man descended from the sky and landed next to Ritsuka Fujimaru.
"We can't catch up... that pterosaur is flying too fast..."
She hung her head, leaning on her long cane.
"I'm sorry... I originally intended to go and take Ishtar back..."
"Fine..."
Ritsuka Fujimaru shook her head.
Then she remembered something.
He turned his head abruptly.
Look in the direction where Kotori had just been.
There's no one left.
"Huh?!"
Where are they?!
Kotori has vanished Spirit Form and returned to the house she shared with Tomoe Gozen.
They got away!
Ritsuka Fujimaru's expression was one of utter despair.
"The duck that was almost in our mouths has just escaped!"
