The Fuyuki Magecraft Academy below.
Tamamo-no-Mae's blood pressure instantly spiked: "That bastard Nameless, how dare he actually do this!"
Let's not forget—in the Lostbelt, she had been stripped of her solar power by his [Sun-Piercing Arrow].
As a Beast of Humanity, her Authority was "to create all weapons of mass destruction humanity could conceive" and "to maximize the lethality of all human weapons," making her the ultimate Weapon Deity.
Yet, Nameless had used the [Weapon Deity] Authority he learned from her to defeat her!
In other words, she had essentially become nothing more than an "experience farm," feeding him power-ups.
After countless people watched the footage, they labeled her the [Most Useless Beast of Humanity]!
Utterly humiliating.
And now, Nameless had forged another [Sun-Piercing Arrow], effectively replaying that disgraceful scene and publicly shaming her before the entire world once more!
"Truly an incredible Great Wall Orbital Cannon—its firepower doesn't seem much weaker than Artoria's!" Merlin, too, stared intently at the orbital Great Wall.
As King Arthur Artoria's mentor, she knew exactly how powerful the latter was.
Simply put, after awakening as the Lostbelt King, the Great Wall Railgun's single shot was now comparable to Artoria's fully unleashed [Excalibur]!
Had Artoria not undergone a massive power boost after the Singularity [Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Domain] was exposed, she might have been completely overwhelmed by the Great Wall Orbital Cannon.
Merlin sighed in relief. "Thank goodness we didn't provoke Qin Shi Huang—that would've been truly dangerous!"
Earlier, this fox had even entertained the idea of stealing Nameless right under Qin Shi Huang's nose once she grew her seventh and eighth tails.
Locking him up in a basement for some… re-education!
Now, she could only be grateful she hadn't actually acted.
Otherwise, instead of just offering a tail as a fox-fur scarf in apology, she might've ended up as an entire fox-fur coat!
"Indeed…"
Tamamo-no-Mae seethed with rage, but at the same time, she felt a deep sense of relief.
In that regard, the gods of the Council of Gods had done a splendid job.
Well then, time to sit back and enjoy the show.
Best-case scenario—both sides would exhaust each other, allowing her to swoop in as the triumphant victor!
Tamamo-no-Mae coveted the [Sun God]'s solar power immensely.
If she could obtain it, she could definitely grow her eighth—maybe even ninth—tail, fully restoring herself as the golden-white nine-tailed fox!
Under the gaze of all onlookers, Nameless unceremoniously absorbed the [Sun God]'s scattered essence, forging a new batch of [Sun-Piercing Arrows].
And this time, not just one—but ten!
He had utilized the concept of [Shooting Down Nine Suns], fusing it with the Authority of the [Sun God] to create them.
Bzzzt—
Just then, [Moon Goddess], who had watched her brother get obliterated by Qin Shi Huang's Great Wall Orbital Cannon and then desecrated by Nameless, suddenly launched a fierce attack.
Her target wasn't Qin Shi Huang—but Nameless!
The [Sun God] Battleship possessed the strongest destructive power, embodying the fury of the sun itself.
But her [Moon Goddess] Battleship wielded the deadliest hunting capabilities—a true decapitation strike.
In fact, [Moon Goddess] Artemis, as the goddess of [Hunting], was the one who had bestowed Nameless with the blessing of [Sure Hit]!
Bzzzt—
A serene moonlight bloomed in the sky as a full moon abruptly manifested in the void.
The main cannon of the [Moon Goddess] glowed with a soft yet bone-chilling radiance.
And at that moment—
A sudden anomaly erupted.
The battleship [Moon Goddess], which was preparing to attack, abruptly came to a halt.
Qin Shi Huang, who had been reluctant to act, suddenly revealed a faint smile: "These gods still have some use after all."
Indeed, the one affecting the [Moon Goddess] battleship was none other than the true Moon Goddess Artemis!
The Lighthouse Council members stared at each other in shock.
The remnants of the Olympian gods had long lost their divine souls—how could they possibly influence them?
[Goddess of Wisdom] froze: "How is this possible?"
After thorough analysis, they were the true Olympian gods.
Those deities who couldn't descend to the mortal world had instead become false gods!
Now, [Moon Goddess] was being influenced by Artemis—a terrifying discovery that shocked the gods.
Did this mean those gods could reclaim their original bodies?
[Goddess of Love] said uncertainly: "It seems to be... because of love?"
Only this elusive force could transcend all limitations.
"Impossible! How could machine gods feel love? Moreover, they abandoned their original bodies 14,000 years ago when the Star Hunters defeated them. Nameless couldn't possibly be the first-generation Holy Sword Wielder, could he?" [Goddess of Wisdom] flatly refuted.
Wielding the authority of [Wisdom], she only trusted cold, hard data.
Humans could lie, but data couldn't.
Mechine Gods couldn't possibly feel love for humans.
And according to the timeline, Artemis, who abandoned her mechanical body 14,000 years ago, had never even met Nameless.
Unless—Nameless was the first-generation Holy Sword Wielder who defeated the Star Hunters and saved the gods!
"Yet it's happening right before our eyes! Artemis's love for Nameless transcends time and worlds!" [Goddess of Love] also found it hard to believe.
It was precisely this love that allowed Artemis to influence the [Moon Goddess] council member!
Fortunately, the influence seemed partial, utterly incapable of stopping [Moon Goddess]'s determination to kill Nameless.
Before everyone's eyes—
"Nameless, our brief time together feels like a condensed human lifetime. You appeared with the stars, and with the stars, you shall depart."
[Moon Goddess] suddenly spoke in a completely different tone: "I find this sorrowful. Even when dawn breaks, I yearn for night to return."
Witnessing this scene.
Athena, standing on the ground, frowned and said, "She can actually bypass the world's barriers to temporarily control that mechanical god. Nameless, you need to be careful!"
The true Moon Goddess had descended!
"Hmm? Artemis?" Nameless was equally surprised.
He never expected this goddess, who shouldn't have been able to descend to the mortal world, could temporarily control the mechanical god.
Just how obsessed was that goddess with him?
This love transcending time and worlds didn't move him—instead, it made his skin crawl.
How terrifying!
Let's not forget, while Artemis might seem like a lovestruck girl, she was in fact a genuine yandere.
She only wanted to possess him completely, disregarding his will entirely!
She had even once conspired with Apollo to divide him between them!
"Honestly, I can't understand her either. I suppose... this is love," Athena replied helplessly.
That goddess might appear cute and innocent, but she was more terrifying than anyone.
From the moment she first laid eyes on Nameless, she wanted to claim him utterly—to possess his soul and body forever.
It was horrifying beyond compare.
Unlike her, who only wanted to watch Nameless create one miracle after another, to witness him forge a perfect future.
In these aspects, she was indeed the most suitable partner for Nameless.
"Love..."
Nameless's lips twitched.
What kind of love was this, where loving someone meant wanting to hunt them down?
This terrifying, yandere kind of love—better give it to someone else!
I really can't handle it!
Under normal circumstances, after Artemis seized control of the battleship, shouldn't she have turned to attack the other gods of the Council of Gods?
Yet, not only did she not do so, she instead unhesitatingly sought to hunt him down!
"Nameless, my beloved. Perhaps one day, I will commit a fatal mistake. If that day comes, please use your arrow to strike me down!"
The main cannon of the [Moon Goddess] battleship shimmered with terrifying energy fluctuations, yet her words grew even sweeter. "This is our promise—it will bind us together forever!"
"Only with proof that we can kill each other will you and I truly be equals!"
"So, hunt me, and be hunted by me!"
Sweet words, yet filled with chilling murderous intent.
She seemed utterly unwilling to stop—
Or rather, she was eager to succeed in hunting Nameless down!
For the true [Moon Goddess] Artemis, who wielded the authority of [Hunt], her beloved must also be capable of escaping her hunt—and hunting her in turn.
Only through mutual, equal hunting could one become her true lover.
Otherwise, death was the only outcome!
BOOM!
The pure moonlight gathered at the cannon's muzzle, transforming into a dazzling silver beam that blasted straight toward Nameless.
At the same time.
Nameless drew his bow. "Then, as you wish! If you love me, then die for me!"
Facing this Machine God, he felt not an ounce of pity.
Humans die when they are killed.
Since she had trespassed into China's airspace, seeking to suppress him and Qin Shi Huang, she had to be prepared to be killed in return.
The [Sun-Piercing Bow] was drawn to its limit in an instant.
Nine arrows merged into one!
The stolen essence of the [Sun God], which he had used as the ultimate fuel, was now poured entirely into this single, combined [Sun-Piercing Arrow].
SHOOM!
The [Sun-Piercing Arrow] transformed into a blinding miniature sun, streaking straight into the heavens.
It clashed head-on with the murderous cannon blast.
Under this arrow, the [Moon Goddess]'s full-powered first shot was completely blocked.
No—not just blocked. It was utterly obliterated.
The radiance of the miniature sun surged along the silver beam of moonlight, reversing its flow and shooting straight upward.
After shattering the attack, it did not stop.
Still soaring into the sky, it pierced directly into the barrel of the enemy's main cannon.
BOOM!
The [Sun-Piercing Arrow] exploded inside the [Moon Goddess] battleship.
No fortress, no matter how strong, could withstand an internal explosion.
The entire battleship was utterly obliterated.
A new miniature sun bloomed in the sky, illuminating the heavens.
The second Council of Gods' deity had fallen!
Deicide!
For a moment, the battlefield fell silent.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Nameless, who had drawn his bow and loosed the arrow—
-[Holy shit, Nameless and the Moon Goddess sniped each other, and he actually blew up the Moon Goddess's battleship?!]
-[Only mutual killing can make love equal—what a perfect yandere Moon Goddess! Poor Nameless, being targeted like this…]
-[It's only been a few minutes, and already the second Council of Gods councilor has fallen. Are they really going to wipe them all out?]
-[Nameless and Qin Shi Huang, keep going! You must slaughter all these false gods!]
-[The great hero Arash gives you a thumbs-up—wait, no, a thumbs-down. How come you didn't die too?!]
...
Greece.
Medea pouted and pointed at the live broadcast. "Your goddess just got blown up!"
"..."
Atalanta didn't know how to respond.
Under the gaze of everyone, Nameless and the Moon Goddess had engaged in a sniper duel—and Nameless had won, annihilating the Moon Goddess.
As a devout follower of the Moon Goddess, even knowing that the one who fell was merely a false god wielding the goddess's power, Atalanta's emotions were… complicated.
She wanted to congratulate Nameless, but he had just blown up her goddess.
She wanted to hate him, but that was still a false god.
Medea's eyes gleamed. "The Moon Goddess… seems quite interesting."
This goddess gave her a sense of kinship. If they ever met, they could have a good chat.
Unwavering in her convictions, disregarding the opinions of the world, willing to pay any price—
Even across time and worlds, she would descend, hunting you down.
That was probably the mark of a true witch, just like her.
"Lady Artemis..."
Atalanta murmured softly.
She could clearly sense that the one who had taken control of the battleship at the end was none other than the true Moon Goddess, Artemis.
But the Moon Goddess was a virgin deity, one who demanded her followers remain pure as well.
So… We were ready to fight to the death, my goddess, but why did you surrender first?!
As the leader of the [FFF Squad], perhaps she should follow her goddess's example and betray her fellow single comrades.
No—this wasn't betrayal. It was answering the goddess's call!
But here was the question: if the goddess competed with her for Nameless… could she even win?
Atalanta clenched her fists, feeling as though the future was bleak.
As the goddess's follower, she was utterly suppressed.
Hmm… maybe they could share?
While she was lost in thought, high above—
With the successive falls of the [Sun God] and the [Moon Goddess], the once-arrogant deities of the Council of Gods were now consumed by shock and fury.
They had never imagined that Qin Shi Huang and Nameless, working together, could truly threaten their lives.
The [Goddess of Wisdom] declared without hesitation, "Everyone, we must unite! We cannot let them pick us off one by one!"
Two gods had fallen precisely because they fought alone, giving their enemies the opening they needed.
To suppress Qin Shi Huang and Nameless, the gods had to join forces.
The remaining nine councilors gathered, preparing for a united battle.
At that moment—
Qin Shi Huang smiled faintly. "Comparing numbers? It seems We have more."
He deliberately shifted the camera's focus to the location of his mechanical holy vessel—the Epang Palace.
Suddenly, a void split open in the center of the Epang Palace.
Its true interior was revealed to the world for the first time.
It was a genuine miniature world—
Qin Shi Huang's personal Reality Marble—
[The Supreme Qin Dynasty!]
Unlike Nameless's barren wasteland in [Unlimited Blade Works], this Reality Marble clearly contained mountains, rivers, and lakes.
And within it stood the renowned—
[Lishan Hero Vault!]
The once-frozen living figures had long since transcended time, becoming true Heroic Spirits.
One by one, these Heroic Spirits emerged, instantly doubling the number of China's summoned legends.
But that wasn't all.
The Twelve Golden Colossi, which had once severed the Fantasy Trees, also stepped forth.
They were genuine mechas, capable of vastly enhancing their wielders.
Xiang Yu couldn't contain his excitement: "Your Majesty, we have waited far too long!"
"Finally, we can take the field and battle gods—what exhilaration!" Lü Bu's killing intent surged.
Behind them stood legendary generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun.
An entire army of Heroic Spirits!
The [Hades] Councilor couldn't suppress his fury: "Impossible! How could your China possess so many Heroic Spirits?!"
Other nations had at most a dozen or so.
Even their own nation, which had dominated the world for over a century, could only boast a handful—all of them science-aligned, with not a single historical hero among them.
How could China possibly have so many?
Zhuge Liang flicked his feather fan dismissively: "Why impossible? You are but thieves who stole land from its rightful people—what history do you speak of?"
"We are the beacon of humanity, bringing them hope and freedom!" the [Hades] Councilor retorted without hesitation.
"Hah! You who plundered the remnants of the Greek gods and slaughtered the innocent dare claim to bring hope?"
Zhuge Liang's tone grew sharper. "Now you arrogantly proclaim yourselves guardians of mankind while seeking to rule over all, replacing God Himself! Such treachery and wickedness—heaven and earth will not endure it!"
"You… you village fool, how dare you—!"
The [Hades] Councilor trembled with rage as he pointed at his adversary.
A god in his own right, yet never had he been so insulted.
He burned with the desire to strike the man dead on the spot.
"Silence, shameless old thief! Do you not know that all under heaven wish to tear the flesh from your bones? How dare you wag your tongue here!"
Zhuge Liang cut him off mercilessly. "Today, by heaven's grace, China is not forsaken—for Qin Shi Huang has descended."
"We raise our banners to punish the wicked. How dare you, a band of murderous plunderers, yap like dogs before our army?"
"When you descend to hell, what face will you have to meet the God you claim to serve?"
Under this scathing rebuke, the [Hades] Councilor's finger shook as he pointed: "We gods are eternal! I am Hades, master of death—!"
"Hah! You false gods, who boast of protecting mankind while pillaging and invading—what single deed of merit have you done?"
Zhuge Liang's condemnation grew fiercer. "Vile pretenders to divinity, daring to bark at China's gates—never have I seen such brazen shamelessness!"
"You! You—!"
[Hades] The councilor had been publicly cursed by him and was already seething with rage. "Damn human, let me grant you true death!"
