When something is out of the ordinary, there's usually a reason. In Space Ishtar's eyes, Mo Shuying's sudden approach definitely had an ulterior motive—like a weasel paying respects to a chicken, it couldn't be for anything good!
"What do you want? I'm warning you! Don't think that just because I can't attack you, I can't deal with you! At worst, we both go down!"
Space Ishtar took a defensive fighting stance, her eyes filled with vigilance.
"Don't be so tense. There's actually something I need to tell you."
Mo Shuying placed the drink on the table, then looked at Space Ishtar and said.
"In five days, there's going to be a battle that should be quite difficult. As my Servant, you'll be participating too. I came here to clear up the misunderstanding between us, so that we don't... have problems later."
"..."
Space Ishtar just stared at Mo Shuying, thinking how thick-skinned he was.
But Space Ishtar wasn't foolish. She knew that Mo Shuying wouldn't come looking for her unless it was something important.
There was indeed some conflict between them, but Space Ishtar had actually learned from her new friend, Da Vinci, that Mo Shuying had summoned her unintentionally.
While she couldn't immediately forgive him, she wasn't as hostile anymore.
Even though they hadn't spoken these past few days, Space Ishtar was waiting for Mo Shuying to speak first. After all, she was the victim; getting an apology shouldn't be too much to ask, right?
"Go on, what super problem needs solving by this super goddess? If you're sincere, this goddess might help you, but please don't get your hopes up too high."
Space Ishtar put on airs, reached out, grabbed the drink, opened it, and took a sip. Mmm, tastes good.
"It's like this."
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Mo Shuying immediately told Space Ishtar about the upcoming battle.
Upon hearing him, Space Ishtar frowned.
"The Alien God? Could it be...?"
Space Ishtar remembered the Primal Star God who had attacked her in space! That one was her true enemy!
"If the enemy is her! I can help you! That hateful creature! I'll make her taste the power of the Primal Temple!"
Space Ishtar had been exploring the universe for so long and had never suffered such a great loss. The damage to Maanna (Ship) still hadn't fully recovered, and that was her most beloved spaceship. If she didn't get revenge for this, she wouldn't deserve to be a goddess!
"In that case, there's definitely no problem. As expected of a goddess, truly reliable."
Mo Shuying raised a finger. Sure enough, with this goddess, praise was always the right approach.
"Hahahaha~ Even you know this goddess is reliable, that's good, that's good. Leave everything to this goddess. Those Primal Star Gods are too arrogant, but since they've encountered this goddess! Humph, their good days are coming to an end!"
Space Ishtar said, placing her hands on her hips.
Mo Shuying frowned slightly upon hearing her.
"Them?"
Were there several Alien Gods? Not just one?
"Yes, them!"
Space Ishtar told Mo Shuying everything she had seen and heard, and Mo Shuying frowned upon hearing it...
"What exactly is going on?"
Mo Shuying arrived in Huaxia, at Qin Shi Huang's villa. Ying Xiang was also there at the moment.
"It seems you also received this invitation."
When Mo Shuying arrived, he saw the chess pieces on the table that belonged to Ying Xiang, realizing that Alaya had already been there.
"Hmm, I was invited, so you certainly wouldn't have been left out."
Ying Xiang smiled and said.
Mo Shuying could sense that Ying Xiang wasn't in a good mood, so he asked.
"Are you unhappy?"
Ying Xiang thought for a moment.
"I'm happy. If we can achieve final victory with minimal cost, I'm naturally all for it."
"...I see."
Mo Shuying nodded. Regardless of whether Ying Xiang was being sincere, he didn't know how to comfort her.
"So, what's your plan?"
Mo Shuying could only change the subject.
Ying Xiang thought for a moment and said.
"I'm a Master. It's perfectly reasonable for me to bring a few Servants to battle, isn't it?"
"No problem there."
"So, I'll be fighting with Red Hare."
"Huh? Only Red Hare? You're not bringing Chen Gong or Jing Ke?"
Mo Shuying was puzzled. Actually, even a temporary contract would work. To boost their combat power, they could totally temporarily contract Jing Ke and Chen Gong.
But.
"Jing Ke is one thing, but Chen Gong? You'd dare bring him along?"
"..."
Mo Shuying fell silent, thinking carefully.
Actually, why not?
Images of Chen Gong sacrificing him with an arrow, then reviving him, flashed through Mo Shuying's mind. Hmm, while the strategy is a bit underhanded, it could be quite reliable if used well.
"Alright, stop overthinking things. Is this all you came to ask me?" Ying Xiang interrupted Mo Shuying's thoughts.
Mo Shuying shook his head.
"No, seeing you was one reason. I actually wanted to ask you about something else."
So, Mo Shuying proceeded to tell Ying Xiang about the two Alien Gods.
Ying Xiang's eyes widened as she listened to Mo Shuying's description, and some conjectures began to form in her mind.
She had actually seen what the Alien God looked like. According to Mo Shuying, it seemed the change in the Alien God stemmed from the other Alien God.
"I don't know the exact reason either. Perhaps, on the day of the battle, we'll find out." A hint of anticipation appeared in Ying Xiang's eyes. She didn't even realize her own anticipation. Perhaps, after that battle, everything would end.
"Alright then, I still need to make another trip to Nihon. I'll be leaving now."
Mo Shuying didn't say anything more to Ying Xiang. He used Flash and appeared inside the Nihon Imperial Palace.
As the residence of the imperial family, the amenities here were incredibly complete and luxurious, even including a dedicated hot spring.
Mo Shuying sensed Kiichi Hōgen's location and, like a gust of wind, arrived outside the hot spring. He expertly changed clothes, then walked into the hot spring room.
Upon entering, he saw Kiichi Hōgen comfortably soaking in the steam-filled hot spring. However, Kiichi Hōgen was wearing a yukata, so there wasn't much to see.
Seeing Mo Shuying enter, Kiichi Hōgen opened one eye, a smile playing on her lips.
"Master, why are you back so soon? Is something wrong? Where's Tomoe Gozen?"
Mo Shuying entered the hot spring, relaxing his body and feeling the water temperature. He let out a comfortable sigh.
"Ah, this feels good. Tomoe Gozen is still at Chaldea."
Mo Shuying closed his eyes, but then, in the next moment.
"Oh~ I understand. That girl Tomoe Gozen must have been insatiable. Really, I told her to be moderate, sigh..."
"..."
Mo Shuying also opened one eye, then used Flash to appear beside Kiichi Hōgen.
"Ah! Master~ What are you trying to do to me? I-I'm not just anyone!"
Kiichi Hōgen clutched her impressive chest and quickly moved a little distance away. Mo Shuying ignored her, instead picking up the sake Kiichi Hōgen had prepared and downing a cup in one gulp.
"Tsk, tasteless, boring. Kiichi Hōgen, get ready. We're heading back to Chaldea right away. There's something big to do."
"..."
