To directly oppose a god and pierce the Gorgon with a single spear—such a feat was utterly unprecedented.
After unleashing that earth-shattering attack, Leonidas was struck by the petrifying beam and instantly turned into stone.
He remained standing, locked in his defiant stance against the divine foe, leaving countless viewers.
…
"Wait, I died?"
Leonidas stared at the video, frowning as he watched his own petrification play out not long after his entrance.
But his surrounding soldiers all looked at him with wild admiration, their voices brimming with awe:
"My King, you're on par with the great Arash!"
We fought—and now we rest.
That single line, steeped in tragedy, carried boundless heroism, perfectly capturing the valor of Spartans.
Their king, just like Arash, stood tall before the gods.
And more than that—he had pierced the Goddess's abdomen with a single spear! Even more glorious than a final arrow.
Leonidas sighed lightly.
"As expected, not a single one of you thinks deeply about things."
All his soldiers—every last one—were meathead muscle-heads. Their brains were filled with biceps.
Of course, as someone raised in Sparta, he too was obsessed with strength.
So…
Leonidas looked out over his soldiers with a devilish grin: "From now on, double the training regimen! Come on, my brothers—let's train like hell!"
Life, friends, family—they might all betray you.
But muscles never will!
As long as you train hard enough, you will be rewarded.
"Nooo! Your Majesty, please!"
The soldiers all wailed in despair.
Their training already bordered on Spartan torture. If it doubled again, someone was literally going to die!
Too bad—this was a king who worshipped muscles.
Complaining? Useless.
Leonidas' smile grew gentler—"Don't worry. I'm not a monster or anything. Since you're all begging so hard… Then—I'll triple it."
His goal: transform his soldiers into true Spartan warriors—three hundred beasts capable of flattening anything.
Even piercing a god's belly wasn't enough—it was still a shame.
He wasn't strong enough yet!
On the screen—
That brave version of "himself" stood frozen in stone, defiant to the last.
Yet shockingly…
The massive hole in Gorgon's abdomen was already regenerating at terrifying speed.
Ridiculous attack power.
Ridiculous regeneration.
This was a ridiculous god.
So strong… it made people despair.
Mash muttered under her breath:
"Senpai… how are we supposed to defeat something this powerful?"
That was the question on everyone's mind.
She was simply too strong.
So strong that there seemed to be no hope of winning.
Unless… Nameless once again invoked the Summon.
But—
Avalon had already been returned to the Lion King. If he truly initiated another Summon…
It would mean—Emiya would once more sacrifice his life.
Mash refused to allow it.
She couldn't let Senpai die right in front of her.
In this moment of despair, her body had already begun trembling slightly in fear.
"Don't be afraid, Mash." He gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
"If you want to defeat your enemies, you must smile in the face of fear. When you can control fear, your breathing becomes steady—immune to distraction. The song of humanity is a song of courage. The greatness of humanity lies in its bravery—and even the gods will one day be defeated by mankind."
With his powerful and unwavering encouragement—Mash, who had just been trembling all over, instantly regained her composure.
As long as Senpai was by her side, she wasn't afraid of anything!
The Mother of Beast, her massive abdominal wound now healed, roared in fury:
"My beasts—slaughter them all! Kill the King of Uruk! Drown humanity in hatred and annihilation!"
Behind her—
A suffocating, overwhelming army of demonic beasts gathered.
A vast, surging tide of black flooded the land—raging and waiting for the final battle.
Blorbo-[Good grief! Before it was just the Bull of Heaven—now it's a whole damn army!]
SinMommy-[Terrifying! These are beasts—normal weapons probably won't even scratch them!]
AlmightyMiddleFinger-[Wait… they're actually going to invade Uruk?! This might be GG!]
The black, wave-like tide of beasts radiated terrifying destructive pressure.
So much so that it filled everyone with helplessness and despair.
After all, even the mighty Lion King only had a handful of Round Table Knights—and most had already been turned by Nameless.
None of them brought the kind of overwhelming dread this Goddess did.
Just then—
Kingu stepped forward, blocking Gorgon.
"Mother, please wait!"
"What is it, my child?" she looked down at him.
"Mother, for us, conquering Uruk is easy. But once we do, the alliance will immediately collapse!"
Kingu warned her with serious eyes:
"There are still hundreds of thousands of our children waiting to be born in the Temple of Blood. The alliance of the goddesses must remain intact! And besides… how could we simply bypass humanity? They must be punished—ruthlessly destroyed, piece by piece!"
At first, it sounded almost like she was showing mercy to humanity.
But by the end—it revealed something far more horrifying.
The monstrous army present was not even the Goddess's full force!
She nodded slowly.
"Humans, thank my child for his mercy. But your doom is inevitable. Ten dawns from now, Uruk will be annihilated."
Her massive form began to retreat.
The dark army of demonic beasts also withdrew with her.
Nameless looked up and called out:
"Kingu… you're just a tool, created for war. You'll never be accepted as a new human. Why not join us instead?"
"Oh? You know my identity?" Kingu was mildly surprised.
Created by Tiamat as a "new humanity," her purpose was to replace the old, obsolete humans who had rejected the Mother of Creation.
"I know far more than you think," Nameless said meaningfully.
But right now, Kingu was in no mood for conversation.
"Hmph. Old humanity will always be obsolete—trying to sweet-talk me into joining you just to survive?"
Her gaze grew colder.
"Humanity's future and history… will belong to me! You're finished. Accept your fate. Goodbye!"
With one last divine rant, she vanished as well.
Leaving only the terrified but thankful soldiers behind.
In ten days, the true apocalyptic catastrophe would arrive!
—
The scene shifted to the palace.
Nameless faced Gilgamesh with a bold proposal:
"Your Majesty, the three goddesses each have different goals. That means we can divide and conquer them."
"Oh? So your thinking aligns with this king's… that's unexpected." Gilgamesh looked intrigued.
Under his gaze—
"According to our investigation, the Jungle Goddess has never harmed humans. The Goddess of the Underworld seems to want to protect humanity in her own way. That means… our only true enemy is the Beast Goddess."
Nameless smiled, then offered:
"As for Ishtar—Your Majesty, would you be willing to 'promise' her 30% of the gems from your [Gate of Babylon] as a bribe to win her over?"
"Hmph. All treasures belong to me. Why would I give any to that worthless goddess?"
Gilgamesh scoffed.
"It's simple—we only offer a small portion up front. The rest, we promise to give after we 'repair the Singularity.'" Nameless smiled knowingly.
"Oh ho… you mean to make her work for free?" Gilgamesh blinked.
Beating Gorgon would only be the start. A far more terrifying entity was awakening.
Defeating it would be near impossible.
Which meant… Ishtar would never actually receive the promised 30% of treasure.
Gilgamesh nodded.
"Very well. Taming her will be like taming a wild beast—so I'll leave it to you, Beast Tamer."
"Gladly." Nameless accepted without hesitation.
Their scheming made all the onlookers watching the stream crack up—
IDigBigClock-[Poor Ishtar, about to get scammed again—and she doesn't even know it!]
4thWarPTSD-[Wait, is she actually going to get those gems? Or is this a trap?]
FuyukiGasLeak-[Feels like buying a house—money down now, but the house doesn't exist yet!]
—
"30% of the Gate of Babylon's gems… how much is that?!" Rin's eyes widened. She could practically taste the drool in her mouth.
That treasure trove led to the Golden Capital—a realm filled with mountains of gold and jewels.
If she really got 30%…
"I'd never have to worry about money again!" she whispered.
"Big sis… with how broke you are, you really think you're getting anything?" Sakura said weakly.
Her noble, "aristocratic" older sister was constantly buying discount groceries to survive.
Jewel Magecraft was a bottomless pit.
No amount of money was ever enough!
"!!!"
Rin felt a metaphorical dagger stab her in the heart.
If Ishtar was truly her past self… and she still ended up flat broke—
It must mean she never got those gems from the Gate of Babylon.
"Please, past me… resist temptation!"
All she could do was silently pray.
Being called a "worthless goddess" by Gilgamesh was humiliating enough. But now being duped into free labor?
You're a goddess—have some dignity!
Don't fall for it!
—
On screen.
Nameless and his team arrived at the "Goddess's Temple."
Even before entering, they saw two gigantic lucky cats placed right at the entrance.
Mash couldn't help but comment:
"Ugh… I can't stand her aesthetic."
A full-blown goddess—and yet she decorated her domain like some greedy nouveau riche. How embarrassing.
Buzz~
Ishtar suddenly flashed into view, arms crossed with haughty pride.
"Ugh, if it isn't the losers who got wrecked by the Mother of Beast. What nerve—you actually dare to come here?"
"I'm here to give you jewels."
Nameless whipped off a three-colored cloth, revealing a small cartload of sparkling gems underneath.
Each jewel sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
Ishtar's gaze immediately locked onto them, unable to look away.
But she tried to act cool.
"Hmph. Just a few gems? That's not enough to satisfy me!"
"Alright, then. Let's go, Mash."
Nameless turned and began pushing the cart away without hesitation.
Then—
He "accidentally" hit a bump.
Dozens of gems clattered out onto the ground.
"Wait—is that a full stack of lapis?! Are those Seven-Crowned Stones for magic enhancement?!"
Ishtar could no longer hold back. Her eyes lit up as she dashed forward.
"With this much, I could spam all my spells without care! You gave me this much… are you a god or something?! Wait, are you just trying to scam me again? Are you going to make me pay taxes upfront?!"
Everyone fell silent.
—
In Chaldea—
Mash stared at the screen, lips twitching:
"Honestly… I never imagined a goddess would be so easy to recruit."
"No wonder Gilgamesh calls her a 'worthless goddess,'" Romani added with a blank stare.
A goddess. Seriously. Show some restraint!
Just a few sparkly stones, and she—
Wait.
With that many gems, I could buy every Magical☆Merry figure, poster, and merch—and stay top of the fan ranking forever!
Romani's eyes sparkled with dreams.
Da Vinci, nearby, looked utterly done.
"All this over a few gems? Really?"
If you want money, just sell more merch! People will cry about it and call you a scammer, sure—but they'll still line up to throw money at you!
—
Back on screen.
Ishtar took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"No… I must stay cool… I'm seeing stars…"
"Lady Goddess, this is less than 1% of the down payment. Would you consider helping us?"
Nameless deliberately held up a dazzling pile of gems, letting them glitter in the sunlight.
In that moment—
Ishtar gazed at him like he was a walking pile of treasure. She nearly jumped forward to kiss him on the spot.
But she tried to act modest:
"Hmph… just a little treasure isn't enough to calm my rage!"
"Alright then. We're leaving."
Nameless turned around without hesitation and started walking away.
That made Ishtar panic instantly. She dashed up and grabbed his hand.
"Hey—hey! You're just going to leave? Aren't we supposed to haggle or something?!"
"We originally planned to give you 10% of the gems from the Gate of Babylon. Since you don't care for that, I guess we have no choice but to leave."
Nameless shrugged with a helpless sigh.
"Hmph! As if I could trust just 10%!" Ishtar huffed and turned her face away—but her eyes never left the jewels.
"Alright then, Mash. Pack everything up—we're heading back."
Nameless sighed again.
"We'd hoped to cooperate with the all-powerful Goddess. Not only would we offer you limitless wealth, but we'd also ensure your divine name spread throughout all of human history."
"Seems like the Goddess doesn't care." Mash gathered the spilled gems one by one.
"Yeah, guess we're leaving." Nameless nodded and turned once more—
Only to realize he couldn't move at all.
The proud and mighty Goddess herself was clinging desperately to his arm.
"Don't leave! I accept, okay?!"
She had tried to maintain her divine pride—
But the truth was...
He offered way too much!
"..."
Mash fell completely silent.
This scene—looked just like a lovestruck girl in the throes of a crush.
If someone else saw this, they'd think the mighty goddess had fallen hopelessly for Senpai's charm and now worshipped the ground he walked on!
Ishtar snorted and said haughtily, "Kneel before me and kiss the top of my foot to seal the contract!"
She'd been humiliated earlier and wanted to reclaim her goddess dignity.
She sat atop her divine boat and extended her delicate bare foot toward him.
"No! There's no way we're signing a contract like that!" Mash immediately tried to stop it.
Senpai hadn't even kissed her—how could he let some other woman take the lead?!
Nameless, however, simply let out a serious sigh.
"Mash, if it's to protect the history of mankind… what's a little dignity?"
Then he bent slightly and gently took hold of the goddess's slender little foot.
"Eh—EH?! You're actually doing it?!"
Ishtar's face turned red in a flash. She leapt back dozens of meters in shock.
She'd only said it as a bluff—she never expected him to actually go through with it!
"What can I do? It was the Goddess's demand."
Nameless sighed again.
"N-No need! Let's… just leave it at that!"
Ishtar frantically waved her hands.
Damn it, why did this human feel just like that other guy—Nameless?
She kept feeling like the two were incredibly similar—
Hitting every one of her weak points with ease, as if they knew her inside and out!
Such a cunning, devious human!
The chat exploded:
SergeantSaunders-[Damn! That was totally intentional—Nameless planned this from the start!]
GigglesThenShit-[Poor Ishtar, once again being toyed with in the palm of his hand!]
ICastFart-["Goddess of Venus," more like "Goddess of Venmo" — she sold out for gems!]
FateShit-[Ishtar saw the bling and forgot she was a goddess.]
DaoistYoungMaster-[Ahhh—let go of that foot! Let me, a trained professional, lick it till it breaks!]
LoliConnoisseur-[Dude, what is wrong with you?! You're on another level of degenerate! Let me, the God of Degenerate, do that!]
YeetTheInfidel-[Stop it! You all are trying to be AspiringPedo so much!]
—
"Nameless really is something… even a goddess can't resist him," Kirina sighed in awe.
Then, she sneakily rested her white-socked foot on Sanjiro's thigh.
"Come on, give me a massage~"
But as soon as she did, she felt two icy stares fall upon her.
Startled, she quickly pulled her foot back.
Damn! She forgot there were two outsiders here!
Artoria's emerald eyes locked onto Sanjiro, who was pretending to study the ceiling. For a moment, even she wasn't sure what kind of woman he actually liked anymore.
Didn't he say Ishtar was a monkey-faced bimbo?
Then why was he grabbing that goddess's stinky foot?!
Do you… like airheads?!
"..."
Sanjiro felt like his face was about to peel off.
Damn it! Once again, Alaya had thrown him under the bus!
He only did that earlier because he knew Ishtar's personality and wanted to mess with her! And now? He was being shit on—right in front of Ahoge!
He couldn't live like this anymore!
—
Back on screen.
After successfully recruiting Ishtar, the group began their journey back.
Night soon fell.
They pitched tents in the wilderness for the night.
Ishtar huffed arrogantly,
"Hmph! A goddess like me doesn't stand night watch. That's the Chaldea Master's job!"
She grabbed a blanket and went straight to the wagon to sleep.
A short while later—
She climbed back down.
Fou looked up in surprise.
"Fou… Fou? (Wait… why's the goddess different now?)"
As Humanity's Evil, nothing could escape its notice.
But "Ishtar" ignored him and walked straight over to Nameless, who was sitting by the campfire. "You sure are going all out. Still haven't let Mash switch shifts?"
"She was already exhausted during the day. Let her sleep longer." Nameless smiled.
"You really do care about your Servants… worthy of the title 'humanity's final Master.'"
The goddess sat beside him.
"Since this is a rare moment… why don't we chat?"
She stared directly at him—eyes never looking away.
"…Why are you staring at me like that?" Nameless casually stirred the fire and tossed on a log.
"No reason. I just can't believe you actually managed to rope Ishtar into your camp… it's got me staring without realizing it."
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "Maybe it's what they call… love at first sight?"
"Cough—doubt it." Nameless looked a little awkward.
He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"It's cold. Don't catch a chill."
"Damn it… why are you so nice?!"
She pouted slightly.
"Aren't you even a little scared of me?"
The scent of his coat surrounded her. She clutched it closer, as if hugging him directly.
His lingering warmth made the blush on her face deepen even more.
"You're so cute—why would I be afraid of you?" Nameless asked honestly.
"I bring death… well, forget it. Let's not go there."
The goddess quickly changed the subject. "What do you think of the Underworld Goddess in the Three-Goddess Alliance?"
"She doesn't believe all sins should be blamed on the gods. After all, humanity also loves war and greed—taking from the world without restraint. In some ways, they're more arrogant than the gods."
Nameless thought for a moment.
"She's gentle… lonely… but unbelievably strong. She wants to change the relationship between humans, gods, and the world. She's trying to protect humanity in her own way."
"..."
The goddess stared at him in stunned silence.
That answer… was exactly what she thought.
No—even better than what she had imagined.
After a pause, she sighed softly. "You really understand me… Why don't you come see me in person—ah, never mind. Good night, and don't stay up too late~"
"Good night. You too—get some rest."
Nameless smiled and waved.
—
Chat exploded again:
PostNutRealityMarble-[Holy crap—it's Ereshkigal the Little Angel!]
FeetFirstFujoshi69-[Damn you, Emiya! Why are you so good at this?! Even Eresh fell for you!]
HolySimp999-[Mash, wake up! Eresh is literally stealing your man in front of you!]
BobUchiha-[No… the real tragedy is Ishtar! Her sister just used her body to seduce her crush!]
GigglesThenShit-[The Three-Goddess Alliance? More like Traitorous Goddess Simp Club!]
—
"Ishtar's down bad…"
Rin muttered, face full of sympathy.
A goddess who not only lost face left and right—but was also used by her own sister to flirt with a guy!
Tragic, Ishtar, so tragic.
That couldn't possibly be her past life, right?
No way a brilliant and elegant lady like herself could've had such a disgraceful divine history!
Next to her, Sakura silently watched her sister.
She kept her thoughts to herself.
—Aren't you the one being possessed by two different goddesses and used to hit on Emiya?
—How can you still sympathize with that goddess?
Yeah… better not say anything.
Let big sis stay happy for a bit longer.
Life's already hard enough—might as well let her enjoy a few more good days.
—
Back on screen.
The scene transitioned.
Another goddess appeared on screen.
She wore a wild, primitive outfit—and even had a feathered headdress atop her head.
A free-spirited older sister type!
However—
As soon as she appeared, she immediately launched an attack on humanity.
This was one of the goddesses of the Three-Goddess Alliance—
Quetzalcoatl!
Hailing from the Aztec mythology of Mesoamerica (often loosely lumped in with South America), she was originally a radiant sun goddess of peace and prosperity—guiding humanity toward growth through strength and love.
However, when the Demon King Goetia ignited the incineration of human history, she was summoned into the revived Age of Gods in ancient Uruk and became part of the Three-Goddess Alliance.
BOOM!
On screen, she blasted apart the city walls with a single punch, forcefully breaking into the heart of Uruk!
The soldiers scattered in panic, shouting,
"Evacuate! Do not engage! She's too powerful!"
"Haha! Don't gang up on me now—I only want one-on-one battles!"
The cheerful laughter of the wild goddess was followed by merciless punches—each one knocking soldiers out like bowling pins.
The soldiers were utterly powerless against her.
"Ehh? You're so weak! Like this, how can you ever become first-rate Mexican wrestlers?!"
Quetzalcoatl laughed boisterously as she toyed with the troops, knocking another flying with a casual kick.
At that moment—
Nameless finally rushed over, catching one of the flying soldiers and gently placing him on the ground.
"Nice catch! Not bad—I'll give you a 40 out of 100."
Quetzalcoatl struck a battle-ready pose.
"Wanna fight me? Don't worry—I won't use divine authority."
"Of course."
Nameless fearlessly stepped forward.
Their battle ignited instantly.
Both of them became blurs of motion, only occasionally visible when they clashed. Explosions rang through the air.
Everyone else stood far away, eyes wide, watching the spectacular battle.
When the dust finally settled, the beautiful goddess—big sister type—was straddling Nameless!
She grinned brightly.
"You adorable little boy… You're so my type! You've got brilliant technique, and you fight so hard for justice—it's hitting every one of my buttons! Totally cheating! If you agree to marry me, I'll switch sides and become your ally~!"
The mighty, divine-level goddess had suddenly transformed into a flirty older sister teasing a cute boy!
Everyone watching was stunned:
SergeantSaunders-[WTF?! Nameless, you liar! Still claiming you're not a Grand Casanova?! Another goddess conquered?!]
MonaLigmaBalls-[Goddamn! Goetia worked so hard to create the Three-Goddess Alliance, and Nameless seduced them all in one night?!]
EXRankDegenerate-[Big sis, please look at me—I can do it too!]
ICastFart-[Ahh! Wild and cheerful big-sis goddess types are totally my weakness! This is cheating!]
—
Everyone was in shock.
No one had expected the sun goddess of the Three-Goddess Alliance to propose to Nameless!
"Damn it, I'm so jealous!"
Jalter glared at the screen.
Looking back, she'd been too pure and bashful back then.
If only she'd gone all-in like Quetzalcoatl, she could've had a whole football team of kids by now!
Instead, here she was… choking on lemons.
Mordred looked equally annoyed. "Damn that Nameless! Flirting with another woman—what a walking disaster!"
His charm was terrifying. Even divine beings couldn't resist.
What the hell was his Charisma stat—EX++ or something?!
As everyone watched with mixed feelings—
Back on screen—
Mash suddenly charged forward.
"Let go of Senpai, you evil goddess!"
If Senpai was getting married, it should be with her! How could she let this outsider take him away?!
"Hahaha, you're adorable! So innocent!"
Quetzalcoatl laughed heartily and turned to the others with a grin.
"I was summoned here to kill humanity, by order of my mother. But how I do that… is entirely up to me. So, I've decided—no divine powers. I'll kill 100 people a day. Personally. One by one!"
Kill with her own hands?
That one line made the soldiers who had been spectating immediately retreat hundreds of meters further.
Terrifying.
A goddess who laughed so brightly could also casually talk about killing?!
Mash pointed furiously.
"No—you're disqualified! You clearly used divine power earlier!"
Without divine authority, there's no way she could've pinned Senpai like that!
"Hehe~ my bad then. I'll be going~"
The sun goddess gave the boy's cheek a playful pinch, then—under everyone's awkward stares—mounted her flying serpent and soared off.
Once she left—
Nameless smiled and explained,
"That girl does kill her targets, but brings them back to life the moment they die. She's just that kind of… conflicted person. If her opponent faces her with a will to die, she'll grant them death. But if they're innocent—she revives them."
The crowd, who had originally resented Quetzalcoatl, suddenly felt their impression shift dramatically.
Summoned to destroy humanity… but imposed a self-limit of 100 kills a day…
And even revived them all afterward!
She was clearly a tsundere goddess!
—
Just as the viewers were beginning to relax—
Another goddess appeared.
This time, it was the Goddess of the Forest, Jaguarman, wearing leopard skin and exuding primal ferocity.
She was from the same pantheon as the sun goddess—a symbol of war and death.
With a huge basket on her back, she sneered.
"Hmph, that woman's got me doing her dirty work again—hauling all the warriors she knocked out!"
Nameless smiled and asked,
"Wanna help us take her down?"
"Hmph, a mere human dares ask me for help?"
She snorted coldly.
The warriors around her were already preparing for battle.
But Nameless didn't move an inch.
Instead, he spoke more gently than ever.
"Because… your fur is as lustrous as a magic boar's, your eyes shine like a watchful spirit, your claws are sharp as wyvern talons, and your waist is supple like a serpent. Your face is as cute as a fairy's, your arms are as strong as a guardian's, and your legs are perfectly balanced like a wild beast's!
Such a beautiful you… Would you become my ally?"
Everyone nearby was dumbfounded.
Mash stood there frozen.
Claws like wyverns? Hair like a magic boar?? Who compliments a girl like that?!
If she didn't get angry, it'd be a miracle—
Miracle achieved!
Under Mash's disbelieving stare—
The once-hostile leopard woman's cheeks flushed red. Her eyes sparkled, and she clutched her head in excitement!
The next moment—
She threw down her basket and ran over.
"Okay! I'll help you! Let's take her down!"
…Wait, seriously?! THIS worked?!
I mean, WHAT the FU--
