Why did it turn out this way?
They were getting along so well.
Even if there were some initial hiccups, overall, she thought they were having a good time.
She had truly fallen in love with a human.
Unlike before, when she played with them like toys, she genuinely wanted to walk to the end of life hand in hand with her partner.
In the end, they fell into such a rift.
Early on, when she used lies to gain love, she had more or less foreseen that the future might be like this.
After all, how could love obtained through lies have a good ending?
But, it shouldn't have been like that back then.
Ishtar still wonders about one question: why did she and Moran break up back then?
—That's right.
Of course.
She couldn't take it anymore.
Seeing Ereshkigal receive so much love, while she never received any favoritism in the end.
Revealing her identity in front of Moran was also for this reason.
In the end, emotions spiraled out of control because of this.
Even now, she is still in such an out-of-control state, envying the happy Ereshkigal.
Above the Ishtar Temple.
Moran floated in the air through the propulsion system of the divine body barrier, confronting Ishtar in the air.
A karmic relationship that has continued from a thousand years ago.
Neither side has forgotten the beauty they once experienced, nor have they forgotten the pain they felt during the breakup.
Among them, Ishtar is still angry.
Moran is more focused than last time.
"[The Hammer of the Skies Makes Frontiers Kneel (Jabal Hamrin Breaker)]!"
Ishtar continued to utter the goddess's divine punishment.
She raised her war hammer and was about to unleash the golden starlight again.
Although its power is far less than before, she is still unreservedly wielding her divine power.
Her beautiful eyes, staring at Moran, did not move away.
Just like a thousand years ago.
However, Ishtar's divinity has declined too much, and she is no longer Moran's opponent.
Moran just waved his hand in the air.
Then, dozens of Gates of Babylon instantly opened, and golden chains surged out from them.
Not only did they lock Ishtar's war hammer.
Also locked her limbs.
"Your revenge ends here. Divinity is weakening, and even the nature of the land is changing. Ishtar, this time, you lost."
Moran looked at Ishtar, who was locked in the air.
In order not to hurt the goddess in front of him.
He still used Enkidu's Chain of Heaven.
Although Ishtar would probably be furious after knowing this. But, this is the most convenient.
The Chain of Heaven has the greatest binding force on gods.
If not it, what else can be used?
"Guh… kill me… rather than being humiliated like a thousand years ago, I might as well die. I will not spare you, you bastard, my curse will always be engraved on the surface of this planet!"
"…"
Moran looked at the hateful gaze revealed by Ishtar.
Also fell into silence slightly.
Afterwards, Ereshkigal also came to him, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
With hundreds of years of experience getting along with Ereshkigal.
Moran could guess.
Ereshkigal didn't want him to really defeat Ishtar, but wanted to find other ways to solve it.
Coincidentally, Moran really wanted to use other methods.
It's just that this method is more willful.
"I said, I won't kill you…"
"Guu…!"
It seemed that the sound of Ishtar grinding her silver teeth could be heard.
However, even if she was stared at fiercely, Moran's expression did not waver at all: "This time, I will treat you in a special way… But, you wait for me to finish my business first…"
Before Moran could finish speaking.
Suddenly, he and Ereshkigal both turned their eyes and looked in a direction one hundred kilometers away from the city.
"Hehe, Faldeus, that kid really knows how to have fun… Setting off fireworks at this time."
Moran smiled slightly and watched the distance.
Ereshkigal's expression was calm, as if she was not worried about what would happen next at all.
However, looking at Ishtar's angry eyes.
"Sigh…"
She couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.
Without letting Moran and Ereshkigal wait for a moment, the so-called "fireworks" soon appeared in the field of vision.
The initiators of this Holy Grail War are not only preparing in Snowfield.
They also secretly built various facilities in the surrounding areas.
About one hundred and fifty kilometers from Snowfield, there are facilities built to protect the city—or destroy its parts.
The launchers located in the west and north were activated under Faldeus's order, firing missiles with hundreds of sub-bombs mounted on the warheads.
Dozens of missiles were fired from the west and north towards the western forest of Snowfield.
Ordinary people cannot see these missiles with magical concealment systems.
These warheads, which are opened in the air, will drop countless sub-bombs to the target, each warhead can tear steel and detonate from the inside.
Reflecting these missiles containing killing intent into his eyes, Moran showed a calm smile.
He only did one thing—
Just raised his hand forward.
Thousands of missiles seemed to lose their kinetic energy in an instant, and fell to the ground in unison.
Not even a spark or explosion was triggered.
"How could it be…!?"
Haruri on the ground was extremely surprised.
Although she guessed that Moran was very unusual, she did not expect that the other party could use the Gate of Babylon, and even turn thousands of missiles into duds in such an incredible way.
This is nothing more than a simple task for Moran.
He only needs to use the True Ancestor's authority to naturally intervene, temporarily rewriting physical phenomena and spatial heat.
In this place, even heat is plundered.
In a domain where physical phenomena cannot be maintained.
It is obviously impossible for human technology to compare with the great achievements of a planet.
It is perfectly normal for these missiles to fall to the ground.
Rather, using these to deal with a True Ancestor is truly underestimating them.
According to Crimson Moon, at least this would have to be the foundation, and then multiplied by ten to barely warrant a glance.
