The Quetzalcoatlus swarm began to descend.
The gray mountains where the temple was located were getting closer, and the concentration of purple miasma was rising rapidly.
Ritsuka Fujimaru sat on the back of the pterosaur, her hands gripping the ropes tightly, her eyes fixed on the temple below.
Then she saw the temple's stone gate explode open, and a large number of demonic beasts rushed out.
But it was completely different from the monsters that attacked Uruk before.
The monsters attacking Uruk were Mesopotamia in style, mass-produced versions of the Eleven Monsters, and their appearance was more like a mutated product that combined features of multiple organisms.
The monsters emerging from the temple now are in the style of ancient Greece.
A golden-maned lion, as large as a small mountain, charged out first, its mane billowing in the purple miasma, each step causing the mountain to tremble.
Behind it followed a giant dog with three heads that roared simultaneously, each mouth dripping venom onto the ground, corroding the rocks with a sizzling sound.
Cerberus, the three-headed dog.
Cerberus.
"That is..."
Ritsuka Fujimaru's eyes widened.
Cerberus?!
Then even more monsters rushed out of the temple.
A giant serpent with nine heads slithered out from the shadows of the mountain, its nine heads simultaneously opening their mouths toward the pterosaurs in the sky.
The Nine-Headed Serpent Hydra.
Caucasian Eagle a wingspan of tens of meters soared into the sky from the mountaintop, the wind from its flapping wings causing the purple miasma to swirl into a vortex.
The Three-Headed Giant Geryon, the Golden Sword Giant Chrysaor, the Hundred-Headed Dragon Ladon, the Harpy Sirens, the Winged Horse Pegasus...
One after another, monsters that only appeared in Greece mythology filed out of the temple.
"These are all Greece mythological creatures..."
Merlin's expression changed.
"No, this wasn't manufactured."
"The aura of these magical beasts is exactly the same as that of real mythical creatures."
"They were summoned."
Ishtar's voice came from the side, tinged with disbelief.
" The Goddess of Demonic Beasts can actually summon Greece mythical beasts? Her powers should only be able to create the eleven mythical beasts of Mesopotamia..."
Ishtar hadn't finished speaking.
Gorgon's enormous body slowly crawled out of the temple.
Its upper body was humanoid, while its lower body was a massive snake, its scales gleaming with a dark luster amidst the purple miasma.
All her injuries have fully healed, and her aura is stronger than before.
Two figures stood on Gorgon's shoulders.
One of them was a green-haired figure, standing on Gorgon's right shoulder.
Kingu.
The green-haired Servant mentioned in the intelligence report.
But another one...
Ritsuka Fujimaru's gaze fell on the figure on the left.
Long, grayish-blue hair.
Ancient Greece hairstyle.
His left hand and right leg were wrapped in black and red bandages.
There were red devices resembling shackles around the neck and right ankle.
A completely unknown entity.
But just looking at that figure sent chills down Ritsuka Fujimaru's spine.
The aura emanating from that person.
Horrible, extremely terrifying.
The feeling wasn't like facing a Servant, but more like facing a volcano about to erupt.
"Who is that...?"
"I don't know him." Merlin's voice turned somber.
" The Spirit Origin reaction is completely unanalyzable."
"And that magic concentration..."
"Not weaker than the Goddess of Demonic Beasts."
The Goddess of Demonic Beasts, Gorgon, slowly descended from the platform in front of the temple, her massive serpentine body carving deep furrows into the gray rocks.
Then she looked up.
Purple pupils swept across the swarm of pterosaurs in the sky.
It swept over Ishtar, the Jaguar Man, and Merlin.
Then, her gaze stopped and fixed firmly on Kotori Itsuka.
"You..."
Gorgon's voice was forced out from deep in his throat, filled with suppressed hatred.
"Found it."
Kingu on her shoulder, followed her gaze and saw Kotori riding on the back of the Quetzalcoatlus.
But Gorgon ignored Kingu's reaction; all her attention was on Kotori.
The red-haired Servant cut her in half at the waist.
That being that caused her countless days and nights of suffering.
"This time..."
Gorgon's serpentine body tensed.
"I'll make you pay the price."
Typhon, standing on Gorgon's left shoulder, followed that hateful gaze.
Her gray-blue hair fluttered gently in the wind, and her pale golden eyes watched quietly as the red figure on the pterosaur in the distance.
"My wife's younger sister."
She spoke.
The sound was soft, but it echoed clearly through the mountains.
"Is she the one who seriously injured you before?"
"The aura emanating from him is indeed very strange."
"It doesn't resemble humans, nor does it resemble any Earth pantheon I know."
Gorgon gritted his teeth.
"It's her."
"Even if I possessed the Holy Grail now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be her match."
"Could you please step in and teach them a lesson?"
Typhon was silent for two seconds.
"Can."
After she finished speaking, she raised one hand.
She pointed her index finger to the sky, and then she said a name.
"You are the thunder that tears the universe apart."
The sky has changed.
Indigo lightning appeared out of nowhere.
A large amount of lightning gathered directly above Ritsuka Fujimaru and his group, forming an indigo thundercloud.
The power contained within the thunderclouds was so terrifying that it took one's breath away.
That thundercloud gave one an illusion—
It doesn't want to destroy these insignificant humans and Servant; it wants to destroy the entire world.
"What does it mean to tear apart the universe...?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru tilted her head back, her lips trembling.
If only they knew the truth about this power.
Only then will they understand that destroying the world is not merely an exaggerated metaphor in the face of this power.
If this power were wielded by Zeus at his peak.
Its power is enough to easily destroy a star.
Although it cannot exert its full potential under Typhon's control now.
However, it can still be described as a devastating disaster on par with a star-level Noble Phantasm.
"!!"
Cold sweat instantly beaded on Ishtar's forehead.
What the hell is this?
"Why is that being able to unleash powers that only the physical forms of the Greece Machine God can use?!"
"Weren't the original forms of those Machine God destroyed 14,000 years ago?!"
She knew what this meant.
The being capable of using the powers of the Machine God is either the Machine God itself or an being of the same level as the Machine God.
Neither of them is something they can handle right now.
But there was no time to think about it.
The thunderclouds above had reached their maximum size.
Ishtar disregarded everything else and jumped off the pterosaur's back. As she flipped in the air, golden light condensed in her hand.
Seven-Headed Warhammer, Sheeta.
She gripped the handle of the warhammer with both hands, and the heads of the seven snakes opened simultaneously.
" The Heavenly Key Before Which the Eight Directions Kneel!!"
A golden torrent erupted from the warhammer, crashing into the indigo thunderclouds above.
Two enormous forces collided in mid-air.
boom----!!!
Golden light and indigo lightning tore and devoured each other wildly at the point of impact.
The shockwave spread in all directions.
The three Quetzalcoatlus were blown about by the shockwave, and the people on their backs clung tightly to the ropes to avoid being thrown off.
And it was amidst this chaos that...
The ribbon on Kotori's head changed; it went from white to black.
The middle school uniform she was wearing had also been transformed into Astral Dress, Fifth Form.
She could sense that this time, the other party's target was her.
The others were just caught in the crossfire.
Moreover, given the methods the opponent has shown so far, I can no longer hold back and must go all out.
Otherwise, it's possible that Tomoe Gozen wouldn't be able to be protected.
