After all, Sigma originally had a character that even he couldn't trust.

Regardless of whether you are genuine or fake, you can only continue to play cards that can still be used.

After all, he had to save a young girl from the hands of God and the government - he had to save Minqiu Chun.

It's your choice. Regardless of whether you can believe in yourself or not, you have already rolled the dice.

In terms of results, I can leave it to others to judge whether I am genuine or fake.

After all, the so-called authenticity is just the final impression held by the audience.

When thinking reached this point, Sigma suddenly murmured in his heart.

——Mom, what is she like?

——She fought and died with the "legend" named Emiya Kiritsugu, and what did she see at the end of her life?

Sigma thought of this and smiled to himself.

After all, there are many people who don't know what they saw until their heads were blown off.

Wondering where my mother ended up in the end is just romanticism. Sigma noticed this and smiled bitterly.

——Hey, me too, maybe my head will be in a different place in the next moment.

——So... I, too, will try to find a place I can reach.

So where should it be? When Sigma asked himself, the first thing that came to his mind was the smile that finally appeared on the assassin's face.

"The faith I gained...?"

Listening to Sigma's soliloquy as he cautiously advanced in the swamp, the boy holding the snake staff, 'Shadow', said with a steady smile.

"How about you simply establish a new religion? If you reject the Greek gods and implement the doctrines of reasonable medicalism, I can help you. Especially if you want to drag Apollo down from the sky!"

"Worship medicine itself as a god? Even if I were to do it, I think it would only be a god wearing strange white clothes and nurse uniforms... Also, who is Apollo?"

"He is... no, there is no need to know, he is just a boring man anyway."

"Really? I also feel like it's a bit like a name that a comedian would use. If it's boring, forget it."

Sigma said this and thought to the ‘shadows’.

——Recently, I have started to joke a lot...Is it an illusion?

When he thought about this, the young man 'Shadow' said.

"I saw it. It's hidden in that rock field."

"Yeah, that helps a lot."

Sigma said this, and after activating the magic to eliminate the aura, he made up his mind and began to approach the rock field.

"Hello!"

A voice sounded abruptly from above. The soldiers immediately set up their Assat rifles——

"I am 'Lack'. You are 'thorns', right?"

"...Don't be scary. The way you appeared just now, if you are beaten into a hedgehog, you deserve it!"

The man called Thorn, after confirming the identity of Sigma, who claimed to be lacking, took his finger off the trigger.

Although he only moved the muzzle slightly, he still maintained a posture that could shoot no matter what. This was because he was ordered to monitor Sigma and the swordsman a few days ago.

They are named "Thorns", a special force trained by Faldius since he was a child, a commando team wrapped in heavy equipment to suppress the magician.

"After all, the radio is broken... have you made contact with the 'livestock'?"

"...We were only told to be on standby at the scene. Although there was a response from the regular report, it was the voice of his female subordinates, not the voice of 'livestock'."

Sigma, who was given the code name of "Lack", asked about the "livestock" representing Faldius - but this was nothing more than a farce. According to the information provided by the 'Shadows', Faldius has abandoned several less important teams and only carried out secret operations with a small number of troops similar to the Guards.

In other words, the ‘Thorns’ troops here are also members abandoned by Faldius.

As for why this is happening, Sigma also understands.

They had contacted the swordsman a few days ago.

The swordsman sent food to the members of ‘Thorn’. Although it caused some accidents, they didn't know when they accepted it.

Although it is not known whether this means that they have opened their hearts to the swordsmen, but due to their nature as a special force, the possibility of pretending to accept it is very high.

However, from Faldius's perspective, it is probably a source of instability no matter what.

It was impossible for Faldius to ignore the possibility that they were subjected to something like brainwashing magic by the swordsman or his master.

After all, the operation that the man wanted to advance now was to take out the Holy Grail Foundation before the town was destroyed along with the entire land. This operation is a secret among secrets, and any team that has even the slightest doubt about it will probably give it up.

According to the information from Watcher conveyed through the ‘Shadows’, Sigma is more aware of the embarrassing position that the other party is currently in than the other party.

So - he's going to take advantage of this.

He also knew that in the north of the town, there were people who were preparing for a "joint battle to stop the divinity in the west."

But those people can't believe that he belongs to the shady side.

If the swordsman or Ayaka was the leader of the alliance, he would probably be invited without hesitation, but Sigma did not want to become a dissonant person like a 'friendly relationship of fighting together'.

So, he decided to take action.

A battle to drag the 'lead actor' from the stage to behind the scenes.

The probability of success is low and the probability of death is very high.

However, there is no need for my group to release silver bullets against the monsters.

In order to fight the battle that only those who stand behind the scenes can fight, Sigma plays the first card.

"Didn't even you hear this from Faldius?"

"?What do you mean?"

"The 'Jackal', 'Spade', and 'Red Wine Glass' in the city center have all been wiped out. Based on this situation, 'Aurora Fall' is about to be activated."

"?! Total annihilation?! And what's that battle name? We've never heard of it!"

Sigma could feel that under the masks, the expressions of the members of the special forces had stiffened.

From now on, if we can't answer the questions, we'll start killing each other.

Sigma does not understand other people's hearts.

Although he didn’t understand other people’s hearts—but he obeyed the ‘good faith’ that sprouted from his own heart, and spoke words that were a mixture of truth and truth in a light tone.

"I was informed because I am the Master, but now the communication line between me and Faldius has also been frozen. It seems that I have also been abandoned."

"...What is the combat content of 'Aurora Falls'?"

"Tomorrow, wipe this town off the map... including all of us."

Just by saying that, they should be aware of the content.

Normally, these are unbelievable words, but they are Faldius' subordinates, and they also understand his character and the power of that man's superior.

Furthermore, if the typhoon approaching from the west is something related to the magic world, then there is no way to solve it unless we do this, and they understand this.

After waiting for them to digest the current situation, Sigma spoke slowly.

"We were abandoned. If you want to escape, I won't stop you. If you want to confirm with the 'livestock', just try to contact him. Although we may be eliminated before then."

"...What are you going to do now?"

"I just continue to do what I can do. If I can solve small problems, maybe it can also change the judgment of the superiors."

Sigma replied.

Then, he began to negotiate with these people again as a magician.

He is a taciturn and unsociable man who cannot be trusted by others or himself - now, he is fighting against the tyranny of both humans and gods. He had to take advantage of everything he could.

"Are you going to help?"

In other words, it is to perform this comedy of devastation.

"My servant...'Charlie Chaplin' is still alive."

············

"...It's finally here."

Filia, who used her own power to suppress the giant spear, looked at the direction from which the golden chain flew - the eastern sky, and murmured angrily.

The changes have been dramatic.

Like the rapidly growing pea vines in fairy tales, the golden chains expanded in an instant.

The being named Enkidu, just running on it, had magic power exploding from the contact between his feet and the chain.

Thump, thump, like a pulse, Enkidu galloped on the chain.

The thick aura comes straight towards this side.

Although I noticed that this guy had been scouting here a few days ago, he had no intention of coming over at all.

Even when he built the temple and took control of the forest with 'that thing' in it to provoke, he didn't take action against it. Based on this, Philia deduced that either his master was extremely cautious, or he was so weak that Enkidu had to go on the defensive to protect him.

"If you could ignore the Holy Grail War and fly over as soon as you sense my aura, you might be able to fight with Gilgamesh. It's a pity that you didn't do that."

After lowering her gaze slightly and speaking as if she was remembering something from a long, long time ago, the goddess Ishtar quietly raised her head.

"You can live however you like. Living a life that is neither hypocritical nor evil, but just for someone, can be considered a virtue in a certain sense, right?"

"Goddess Ishtar-sama...?"

Harley, who was controlling the berserker in front, noticed the rapid expansion of the goddess Ishtar's divinity behind her and turned her head.

The goddess stood next to Harry, who was appointed as the chief priest, and stared at the existence approaching from the east with hostility. A arrogant smile appeared on her face, and she flipped her right hand in the air.

"But..."

In an instant, the power of the goddess Ishtar expanded, enchanting the land between the forest and the city.

"How dare you insult me ​​with this useless piece of junk that no one wants. Your ugly behavior at that time... does not require you to compensate, do not require you to atone, and does not require you to regret. You just shattered and rotted into nothingness, Drain and struggle to destroy!”

For the first time since the goddess Ishtar appeared in this era, she showed clear hostility.

"……Well!"

A cold feeling as if the world had been destroyed seven times invaded Harley's body.

If she had not been protected by the goddess Ishtar and had not received the spirituality of the temple chief priest from the goddess Ishtar—perhaps she would have suffered a mental breakdown and died.

But even with such hostility and murderous intent, what is transmitted to the world through the mouth of the goddess Ishtar is still a voice that can charm the world.

The reversal of cause and effect.

Even though the earth is inorganic, it has acquired functions that resemble intelligence and organic life forms due to its charm, and even gained emotions.

Is it a giant creature, or a swarm of small animals?

In short, like clay animation, the earth turned into a rough sea, attacking Enkidu who was surrounded by the storm.

"..."

Enkidu on the other side said nothing.

No words are needed. Enkidu acted as if his words had no value at all, just releasing hostility towards the goddess Ishtar.

The power of charm will not enter his sight at all, and the air and chains that Enkidu touches will deny everything about the goddess.

With only his body, Enkidu passed through the land that was attacked by the fanatics who transformed themselves into goddesses.

One step, two steps - each step will kick away the waves of soil and sand, and each step will use brute force to break through the hostility coming from all directions.

Every step he took sounded like thunder, and the crushed rock plate turned into thin chains, wrapped around the chains like a mess.

It turns into a tunnel guarding the golden bridge.

Enkidu charged into the harpoon while attacking the gods.

Ishtar watched the tit-for-tat spearheads flying towards the temple and narrowed his eyes.

"Disgusting, rubbish!"

Then he said to Harley, who was watching beside him as he swallowed his saliva.

"Let the berserker help stop that garbage. The poisonous snake will be handed over to Gu Jialana first!"

"! Okay, okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Harley issued instructions to the berserker as the master.

Stop Enkidu, who is about to attack, or destroy him.

There was a low friction sound in the storm, and the berserker's huge body turned to the eastern sky.

It will dismantle all functions used to prevent big snakes and floods, and reset the target of all actions to the individual named Enkidu.

According to legend, the guardian of the Forest of Gods was feared even by the former King of Heroes Gilgamesh.

Toward that terrifying monster——

Enkidu spoke softly towards his old friend who had been killed by himself until there were only pieces of flesh left.

"I have something to say to you... Humbaba."

Enkidu said this while injecting magic into his limbs.

"But not until I silence that goddess—the goddess who terrifies you but also gives you protection and peace...to silence her."
