Everyone was dumbfounded—
SergeantSaunders-[WTF?! After JoJo references, now Nameless hits us with next-level praise!]
GigglesThenShit-[Damn, Nameless, why are you like this?! How do you know?!]
BabySlaneesh-[This actually worked?! Jaguar Man, you're a goddess, pull yourself together!!]
MoonlitGachaVictim-[It's over. I'm convinced now—Nameless's charm is literally on par with a Beast of Humanity.]
…
"Huh? Why does this Jaguar Man look exactly like me?" Fujimura Taiga squinted at the screen, visibly puzzled.
Too weird!
The more she looked, the more she felt like they were identical.
Not just the face—even the voice, gestures, and mannerisms were exactly the same, as if she herself had time-traveled straight into the Age of Gods in Uruk.
What the hell was going on?
"Wait a second! If Tohsaka Rin got matched with a goddess as her past self—could I have been a goddess in a past life too?!"
Suddenly, it clicked.
Among her students, there were already examples of people who shared the same situation.
Even more of a coincidence—the two of them had appeared on screen together!
"Wait, wait… does that mean Sanjiro is actually that so-called Nameless Hero? The final Master of Humanity? No way. That guy's just some ordinary househusband!"
Fujimura shook her head, feeling amused at her own imagination.
That guy was just her student. They didn't live far apart, and he'd shamelessly show up sometimes just to mooch a meal.
But she had to admit—his cooking was incredible.
So good, in fact, that even she, a respected teacher, found herself tempted to just move in and never leave.
Thinking back—
While Sanjiro and Kirina were attending school, she even helped them with enrollment forms and other paperwork.
In the beginning, she was technically their legal guardian.
But honestly?
She was more like a freeloader than a guardian.
That guy took care of people way too well. He almost raised her into becoming a full-on useless NEET big sister.
Just imagine—
Every day, when you get home from work, there's a cute boy already waiting with a hot meal.
He's drawn your bath, peeled your oranges, folded your laundry, and cleaned your entire room top to bottom.
Even your dirty socks? Washed and dried to perfection!
Just thinking about it made her drool with happiness—he was one "man-mom" short of being perfect!
That period really was the happiest time of her life!
"I absolutely have to keep shamelessly showing up and pretending to be the mature older sister taking care of them!" Fujimura Taiga drooled as she thought about it.
As the famed "Tiger of Fuyuki," no one dared say no to her!
She looked at the video, where the Jaguar Man had been completely conquered by a few casual lines from Nameless.
That submission speed was just a tad too fast.
But still—
If that househusband Sanjiro ever dared to propose, she'd probably go register the marriage today and hold the wedding tomorrow!
"I want a man-mom! I want a man-mom!"
Someone who can cook and clean with expert skill—way better than those people who need you to take care of them, right?
On screen, after subduing the Goddess—
The audience was left slack-jawed as Nameless took Ishtar and Jaguar Man straight to fight Quetzalcoatl!
Everyone began to suspect—once Ereshkigal and Quetzalcoatl were fully conquered, would they all team up to go beat Gorgon?
Damn. The so-called Three-Goddess Alliance had suddenly turned into a traitor's guild.
Aside from the Beast Goddess, none of the goddesses really wanted to destroy humanity!
The Beast Goddess, diligently trying to play the villainous final boss, must be crying in a corner by now!
Upon arriving at the Sun Temple—
They saw a massive axe, over forty meters long, lodged in the temple roof.
Its name: "Axe of Marduk."
It once belonged to none other than the god Marduk himself.
He had been the chief god of Mesopotamian mythology, and this divine weapon was strong enough to wound Tiamat, the Mother of Genesis.
Originally, they'd planned to sneak in and avoid conflict.
But—
Quetzalcoatl had been waiting all along.
"Ha-ha! Welcome to my Sun Temple! Coming straight at me like that—how charming!"
She laughed heartily. "Dear little Master, I knew you'd charge in head-on, so I came back without hesitation!"
Because they were just that in sync, she could easily predict his every move.
The two of them… really were alike.
"GET LOST, YOU PERVERTED BIG SIS!" Mash quickly stepped in front of her Senpai with her shield raised.
"I truly do love you, Final Master of Humanity. But for the sake of extending humanity's survival, it's my duty to toy with mankind."
Quetzalcoatl's smile grew even brighter. "As long as I exist, humanity will never perish! So please—feel free to flee from me, the 'threat' to humanity!"
It was because she loved humans so much that she had joined the Three-Goddess Alliance—to extend their future.
"No. I don't enjoy fighting. But if humanity wants to survive, we must struggle and fight." Nameless firmly rejected her claim. "That's why I stand here—to stop Goetia from incinerating human history. I want to live on, with everyone!"
"What? I'm practically paralyzed from how moved I am... And you're telling me you don't enjoy battle? That's a complete rejection of everything I stand for!"
Her smile vanished.
"Then tell me—what is battle?"
"It's a hardship we must overcome in order to reap the rewards that come after." Nameless had no intention of agreeing with her.
This surprised everyone watching.
He could've just agreed and raised Quetzalcoatl's favorability—why go against her?
"I see now. That's your charming answer, huh? You really are my favorite!" Quetzalcoatl paused, then smiled again. "Then let me see—can you really overcome me?"
The battle erupted instantly.
Jaguar Man, along with Ana and Merlin, teamed up to hold off Quetzalcoatl while Nameless went to destroy the Sunstone.
But things didn't go as planned.
Quetzalcoatl effortlessly shook off the combined might of the Heroic Spirits and gods, her face brimming with joy:
"How unfortunate, adorable Master—I'm going all in!"
But strangely—
Nameless remained calm. "Quetzalcoatl… I know what you really want to see is the courage of mankind."
"Whoa! You're saying he understood her true desire?" Jaguar Man stared in shock.
This mere human… dared to face a goddess with nothing but courage?!
Buzz—
Ishtar descended from the sky and grabbed him:
"Why didn't you just destroy the Sunstone? Just saying—I could've bought you some time!"
"No need. Since she's obsessed with wrestling—let me handle her."
Nameless shook his head.
In her eyes—
This was a trial.
If humanity couldn't show enough bravery—if no one could earn her approval—then she would destroy mankind with her own hands.
Better a peaceful end by her hand than letting them die in despair.
So as the only human present—he had to rise and use human courage to win her over!
"You're insane! If she dodges, you'll die on impact!" Ishtar shouted, confused. "Whatever! If you're gonna die, I won't stop you. I'll drop you right on her!"
"Quetzalcoatl—have you heard of a wrestling move… from the sky?"
Nameless hurled himself down:
"Taste my Meteor Slam!"
Lifted into the air by Ishtar—
He stepped lightly off a soaring eagle and dived straight at her.
BOOM!
Fire burst all around him as he became a blazing meteor crashing toward Quetzalcoatl!
"AAAAHHH! You idiot! Even I'd die from a move like this, and I'm a wrestling master! You're still going for a Slam at this height?!"
Quetzalcoatl leapt forward and caught him midair:
"I acknowledge you! Be grateful you're dealing with the greatest wrestling master! I'll join your team and help you fight!"
In front of everyone's eyes—
Nameless was completely engulfed in her massive embrace, barely able to breathe, mumbling, "Because… you love humanity most of all…"
"Ahhh! I love you so much! I'm so glad I get to be on your team!" Quetzalcoatl hugged him even tighter, as if she wanted to meld into one.
Countless viewers were left fuming with envy—
Scrimodotic-[This mad lad is really gathering an army of gods to go fight Gorgon!]
IDigBigClock-[Gorgon: Please stop! What did I do to deserve this?!]
BoobVenerate-[When charisma stat reaches god-tier: Step 1: Fall from the sky. Step 2: Land in goddess. Step 3: Profit.]
ConstipatedProcrastinator-[Amen brother, Amen.]
…
Just as everyone was hyped—
The party returned to Uruk, only to see Siduri in the palace, eyes brimming with tears but still holding things together for the city.
Priestess Siduri tearfully announced:
"The king… is dead!"
This instantly stunned everyone.
In the great hall—
The watching Heroic Spirits all turned to look awkwardly at the King of Heroes.
Nameless had been storming through the divine ranks, charming goddesses left and right—clearly strong enough to defeat Gorgon with ease.
So why the hell had you, the great King of Heroes, died?!
"Figures. Must've worked himself to death…" Komei wasn't even surprised. "Totally expected. That guy's been grinding 24/7. No way he could keep going."
Chin Kyu elbowed him.
"See that? That's your future."
Komei… had out-grinded Gilgamesh. Their overtime work ethic was terrifying. Neither man seemed to rest at all. It was painful to watch.
Shikotei wanted to laugh—but just couldn't.
They really were too alike.
Back in his own day, he had worked himself to death too—reviewing dozens of pounds of bamboo scrolls daily.
Call it a tragic backstory if you want—but in truth, this was the reason people loved Gilgamesh.
To normal folks, that kind of work ethic made him a truly virtuous king.
So now…
With the King of Heroes gone—how would the story even continue?
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
They'd wanted to see more embarrassing moments from Gilgamesh—but you gotta be alive for that!
If he's dead, what's left to see?!
In the silence, Mordred asked tentatively:
"Could it be… the Underworld Goddess Ereshkigal killed the King of Heroes?"
After all, in the opening scene, the Goddess of the Underworld was part of the Three-Goddess Alliance—and wanted to destroy humanity!
"It's possible," Gawain nodded. That gloomy goddess gave him, the Knight of the Sun, a headache just looking at her.
Then, Quetzalcoatl explained:
"Among the Three-Goddess Alliance, the mistress of the Underworld is the third pillar. Only by venturing into the Underworld can we save the King!"
"Damn it! That horrible Seven Gates stripped me of all my powers and dragged me butt-naked to her, then stabbed me like a pincushion!" Ishtar said through gritted teeth, clearly furious.
Everyone tried not to laugh.
They'd seen dumb things before, but never someone willingly exposing their own embarrassing history like this.
She really was the official title-holder of "Useless Goddess."
"If you guys want to go to the Underworld—fine! I'll help!"
Then—
Her "help" left everyone dumbfounded.
Because she actually tried to blast a hole to the Underworld with brute force!
BOOM!
Ishtar unleashed a terrifying blast—launching Mash and Nameless straight into the ground, smashing through the earth—
Hundreds of meters deep—right into the Underworld itself.
====
At that moment—
The scene suddenly shifted, taking viewers deep into the Underworld.
A certain goddess curled up in a corner, muttering quietly to herself:
"Hmph, big liar! You understand me so well, so why don't you ever come visit? Sure enough, in your eyes, a gloomy goddess like me must seem totally unpopular... You probably think I'm a damp, mushroom-growing, shut-in Underworld girl!"
This self-muttering girl was none other than the fearsome ruler of the Underworld—
Ereshkigal!
Her appearance left the audience collectively jaw-dropped:
LoliConnoisseur-[Damn it, Eresh! You're the goddess of the underworld—why are you so adorably precious?!]
DaoistcqfdVG-[Hey uh… quick question. If I get hit by a truck today, can I be reincarnated next to Eresh?]
BobUchiha-[Dream on! It's New Year's, truck drivers are off! And even if you die, you'll just end up with Hades in the underworld.]
But what made it even better was—
When a loud crash echoed through the Underworld, signaling someone had fallen from the world above,
Eresh blinked in surprise. "Eh? You really came?"
Her cheeks instantly flushed pink. She hurriedly stood up, began straightening her clothes, and carefully started putting on makeup.
As she prepared herself—
The camera cut back to Nameless.
Ishtar, clearly familiar with the terrain, said,
"Alright, Gudao, your turn to break through the first gate. You'll be given a choice between two answers. The Gates of the Underworld love asking super annoying questions. Good luck."
The First Gate.
A voice echoed out—
"Let the Chaldean Master answer!"
Ishtar raised an eyebrow in surprise, but happily stepped aside.
Then, the question came:
"Although beauty may seem subjective, there exists an absolute standard. Black triumphs over white, Earth over Heaven. So, who is more beautiful—Ereshkigal or Ishtar?"
"Wait—what kind of question is that?!"
Ishtar immediately grabbed Nameless by the neck.
"You jerk! One is a gloomy goddess of death, the other a radiant goddess of beauty and harvest—you better pick me!"
Meanwhile—
Eresh waited nervously on the other side, clearly anxious.
Caught between the two goddess sisters—
Nameless simply smiled and said:
"Sorry, I'll only choose the one who agrees to be my wife!"
The unexpected reply stunned both goddesses.
"You arrogant human! As if I'd ever marry you!" Ishtar snapped.
Even Mash beside him blushed faintly.
Was Senpai… planning to marry me instead?
BOOM—
The first gate opened. He passed the trial.
Ishtar was stunned.
This was the so-called "absolutely fair and impartial" Gate of the Underworld?
Damn it—so it really was her little sister controlling it!
Which meant… all the layers of Underworld gates that had previously stripped her of her divine authorities—were all Eresh's doing?!
Just then—
The Second Gate spoke:
"I have always tended the souls of the dead here, with no joy, sorrow, or friends. Now, do you blame me for this? Couldn't you at least give me some praise for my hard work?"
But—
Nameless calmly replied:
"I'm not interested. This is the job you've chosen and carried out to the end. You didn't do anything wrong. No one did. The problem lies with the world itself."
Huh? He didn't even compliment her?
The audience was baffled.
Given his record of charming every goddess, shouldn't he be showering her with praise?
BOOM—
The second stone gate opened as well, revealing Eresh already waiting, eyes shimmering with tears:
"Why… can't you just praise me once?"
"I can't. Because to praise you would be an insult to your pride."
BOOM!
Death energy surged around Eresh, and hideous skeletal monsters appeared.
She glared at him in fury:
"Even if it's you… I'll still kill you!"
"Then come."
Nameless calmly stepped forward, reaching out gently—as if she were just a delicate girl, not a terrifying goddess of death.
Buzz—
The swirling death aura suddenly vanished without a trace, stunning everyone.
Eresh wiped her eyes and mumbled, "Liar. You said you'd visit me…"
"I'm here now. So—adorable Eresh, will you help us?" Nameless smiled as he extended his hand.
The Mistress of the Underworld flushed red instantly.
She placed her hands over her chest, looking flustered: "I-I'm not doing this to help you or anything! It just fits into my next plan. Yeah, that's all!"
???
Ishtar was totally lost.
What just happened? What did she miss?! Something definitely happened!
Suddenly—
A loud laugh rang out from nearby:
"Ahahahaha! That was a fine play, Master of Chaldea. You're worthy of standing alongside this king!"
Gilgamesh had arrived.
Mash quickly asked, "Were you dragged down here by Eresh?"
"Hmph. This king does not die. No mere goddess of death can kill me!" Gilgamesh turned his head awkwardly, adding,
"I may have… slightly overworked myself."
Truly one of Gilgamesh's most embarrassing moments—
He had literally worked himself to death.
At that moment—
A sudden anomaly occurred.
A flash of a sword slashed across Ereshkigal's body—nearly cutting her in two.
THUMP—
She collapsed to the ground.
Ishtar instantly launched an angry attack:
"Bastard! Do you want to die?!"
But—
Her kick hit nothing. The figure stood there, untouched and unreachable.
Nameless quickly stepped in front of her:
"Calm down. He didn't try to kill Eresh—he was severing her link to the Three-Goddess Alliance!"
The alliance was bound by a powerful contract—
If any goddess harmed another, a terrifying divine punishment would strike them—worse than death.
So, in order for Eresh to help them, the contract had to be destroyed.
"Correct," said the hooded figure, his tone approving. "You truly are a man of fate."
Under the astonished gazes of everyone—
The figure spoke in that familiar, serene voice:
"I am King Hassan. You, Mistress of the Underworld, have always loved humans who will eventually die. You joined the alliance not to destroy them, but to shelter more souls after death. Even without anyone's understanding—you've been protecting them all along. That's why I severed the contract for you."
The comment section exploded—
AlphaSigma-[Holy—! That voice! It's gramps—King Hassan himself!!]
YeetTheInfidel-[He literally cut a divine contract in one slash!]
Blorbo-[Ishtar said she hated her sister, but the moment she's hurt—BOOM! She goes berserk!]
HistorianWithWifi-[Wait… wasn't Gramps the one who trained Nameless during the Camelot singularity? Why is he here now?]
LoliConnoisseur-[God… Eresh just keeps getting cuter. How can a goddess of death be this lovable?!]
—
Eresh lay in Nameless's arms, not even bothering to struggle. Her face buried against his chest to hide her embarrassment.
"I-It's not like I'm helping because I like you or anything!"
There was no fierce battle.
The Eresh Fortress… had been completely breached.
From this moment forward—the Three-Goddess Alliance had officially lost a member.
Later, while discussing the final assault plan—
Gilgamesh roared:
"What? You're not including this king in the final battle against Gorgon?!"
"Your Majesty, your schedule is already packed!" Siduri handed over a thick stack of clay tablets.
They were completely filled with duties and affairs that had piled up after his… temporary death.
Gilgamesh went silent.
Even Kirina, watching the video, was stunned.
Damn. He just got resurrected from working himself to death—and now he's about to die all over again?
She quickly typed out a comment:
MoonlitGachaVictim-[Hi, I'm Gilgamesh. I live at the office—uh, I mean, the royal palace of Uruk. I'm single, overworked, and fueled entirely by divine ego and stress. I haven't taken a day off since the Age of Gods. I work 24 hours a day with no breaks, never leaving a task unfinished. My doctors ask me every day: "Why aren't you dead yet?"]
Seriously—with that kind of workload, who wouldn't die?
Then, just as the final battle loomed—
An old lady stepped in front of Nameless:
"There was a young girl helping me care for my flower shop. That day, I had already died, and my family was preparing my funeral. But she kept holding my body... Maybe that's why I came back to life."
"That girl's name is Ana. She's a very sweet child~"
Nameless smiled softly in response.
"Ana… that really is a lovely name. Please, give this flower crown to her. I'm so thankful for everything she's done recently!" The elderly lady grew even more emotional.
She had been helping tend the flower shop every day, and even saved the old woman's life—it was clear she was a truly kindhearted child.
"Mhm. I'll make sure she gets it," Nameless nodded gently.
Together with Mash and the others, he set off toward the Temple of Blood.
The final battle against Gorgon was about to begin!
The scene shifted.
Thirty kilometers away from the Temple of Blood—
Quetzalcoatl raised her massive Marduk's Axe, stretching a full forty meters in length, and hurled it with earth-shaking force directly toward Gorgon's temple!
Bound by the Three-Goddess Alliance pact, she couldn't attack Gorgon directly.
However, Merlin could take responsibility for "guiding" the attack—thus technically avoiding punishment from the pact.
RUMBLE!
With divine and unmatched power, Marduk's Axe roared through the sky, aimed squarely at the vicinity of the Temple of Blood.
But then, Merlin smiled mischievously: "Oops! My hand slipped!"
With that "accidental" guidance, the colossal axe slammed straight into the Temple of Blood.
It pierced through with crushing power, completely opening up a direct path for Nameless to charge in!
CRACK!
A terrifying divine punishment descended in a flash, striking Quetzalcoatl with overwhelming force for violating the contract.
Her agonized scream echoed like thunder across the battlefield.
Sanjiro's eyes widened at the scene:
"Damn it, Merlin! You actually tricked Quetzalcoatl again?! Looks like letting genderbending you wasn't enough! If I catch you, I swear I'll tie you up and feed you nothing but Doctor Roman's cake!"
