As soon as Emiya Shirou's words fell, a beam of sword light had already sliced ​​through Ereshkigal's body.

"You bastard!"

Seeing Ereshkigal being cut down to the ground, Ishtar was furious and rushed towards the old man in black robe wielding his sword.

But her kick had no effect on the black-robed old man, it directly passed through his body.

"What's happening here?"

"calm!"

Before Ishtar could react, Emiya Shirou's blocking voice came.

"Look clearly, what I cut off is not her body, but her contract."

"well?"

After hearing the voice of the old man in black robe, Ereshkigal who was lying on the ground immediately sat up.

"I thought I was cut in half?"

Ereshkigal, who was completely frightened, trembled when he spoke.

"So who are you, old man? There should be only Fujimaru Tatsuka and Emiya Shiro living in the underworld, right?"

When Ereshkigal was beheaded just now, Gilgamesh was not so surprised.

It's not like he knew anything ahead of time.

But out of trust in Emiya Shirou, I believe he would not do such a thing as killing Ereshkigal.

But now, when the black-robed old man said that he had cut off the covenant between Ereshkigal and the Three Goddess Alliance, he was shocked.

The opponent's previous slash did not have the slightest fluctuation of the treasure.

It was just an ordinary sword.

But it was this ordinary sword that cut off the contract between Ereshkigal and the Alliance of the Three Goddesses. Even Gilgamesh could not accept this kind of thing calmly.

"Looking at your skill, you are definitely not extraordinary. But neither this king nor Chaldea has ever summoned you. Where did you come from?"

The old man in black robe did not answer Gilgamesh's question directly.

"Who knows? I came from the abyss to push the pointer only because the situation was entangled. Ereshkigal, you conceal the truth and fabricate lies."

"If you still have a shred of shame, answer me. The reason why you created the Kingdom of the Dead is because, as a goddess entrusted with souls, you always love souls deeply."

"it is as expected!"

Fujimaru Tachika on the side shook his fist excitedly.

Because of Emiya Shirou's instructions, Fujimaru Tatsuka and Ereshkigal had a lot of exchanges on the way to conquer Quetzal.

From her conversation, Fujimaru Lixiang can clearly perceive the good and evil of the other party.

She firmly believes that Ereshkigal is definitely not the kind of evil goddess who would harvest the souls of life on earth for her own selfish desires.

"You, what are you talking about?"

Having seen through his purpose and thoughts, Ereshkigal nervously argued: "I only love my own things, only the souls locked in cages."

"How could I love humans!?"

"Ailey!"

Emiya Shirou's words immediately interrupted Ereshkigal's defense.

"What is your purpose, I know very well. Don't deceive yourself, it will only make you more painful, accept the reality."

"I!"

Looking at Emiya Shirou who was squatting in front of him and caring about him, Ereshkigal immediately fell into silence.

Seeing this, the old man in black robe continued: "The hostess of the underworld, the bloody flower dedicated to the earth! You are not in love with dead humans, but with humans who have the fate of dying sooner or later."

"Don't degrade death as a disgusting fear, but reverence it. The goddess who tries to protect the remaining souls after death! Your purpose of joining the alliance is just to bring as many souls as possible into this underworld for protection. "

"Even if no one understands you, even if you are isolated by tens of thousands of souls in this country. Guarding this silence is your dignity as a goddess."

The thoughts hidden deep in his heart were ruthlessly pushed away by the black-robed old man in front of him, and Ereshkigal's eyes were filled with tears.

"But, I've been."

"If you are talking about those who died because you took their souls, then you don't need to care about them at all. After all, their bodies are still in good storage."

"As long as you release their souls back, they will come back to life."

Stretching out his hand to gently comfort the head of Ereshkigal who was slumped on the ground, Emiya Shirou comforted her gently.

"real?"

Ereshkigal's eyes shone with joy.

"Of course, compared to the casualties caused by Gorgon, your debilitating death is nothing worth mentioning."

Gilgamesh interjected contemptuously: "There are nine hundred people in Saku City, three hundred people in Uruk, and the total number of victims is only 1,200."

"This level of people can be easily accommodated as long as the basement of the tower is opened. Let me tell you the truth! Judging from the total number of casualties, you are undoubtedly the worst one in the Three Goddess Alliance."

"This is actually quite shocking! After all, I have exerted unprecedented energy!"

Hearing Gilgamesh's blunt words, Ereshkigal bowed his head involuntarily.

Emiya Shirou raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, this operation went very smoothly. We successfully captured Ai Lei and completely disintegrated the alliance of the three goddesses."

"Great!"

Fujimaru Tachika and Mash jumped up happily.

After all, they have now won over four goddesses, and they are undoubtedly crushing the Nemesis Goddess Gorgon in terms of high-end combat power.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party possessed the power of Tiamat's hundreds of births of magical beasts and had cultivated hundreds of thousands of magical beasts, everyone would be able to declare the victory of the war now.

"Hey, where's that old grandpa?"

After the excitement, Fujimaru Lixiang immediately found that the old man in black robe had disappeared.

For this black-robed old man, Fujimaru Tatsuka still has some good feelings.

After all, when she fell into the underworld of Saku City, it was the other party who rescued her, sent her back to the ground, and gave her the slate of destiny.

If the other party hadn't been telling about Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld just now, she would have gone up to say hello.

"What black-robed old man! I haven't seen anything here!"

Roman, who was backing up in Chaldea, asked loudly for some unknown reason.

From the detection device on his side, there was no black-robed old man at all.

"Of course you can't see it, after all, that old grandfather has reached the pinnacle of existence in the aspect of breath blocking!"

Although Emiya Shirou's breath blocking is also very superb.

But compared with the black-robed old man who is the crowned assassin, there is still a distance.

"Oh? But didn't senior Shirou see through his breath blocking just now and call him?"

Recalling the scene just now, Matthew asked suspiciously.

"I was just fooling around!"

"I just guessed that he would be here, and then I yelled casually."

Spreading his hands, Emiya Shirou said helplessly.
