Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Whether it's spiritual veins, magic, or any other concept, everything is being rejected.

It's not a choice made at a particular time or place, but by the entire planet.

When the young magician manipulated the stars and summoned meteorites from outer space, he forgot that the earth beneath his feet was also a unique and beautiful star in the universe, the mother planet that nurtured countless humans, including himself.

Kirshtalia chose the universe, but Shiomi only wanted the cradle of humanity.

Upon realizing this, Kirshtalia first understood, then smiled knowingly and raised her voice, "Grand Order/Anima Animusphere!"

"—'Mother Earth's Dinner' (Nammu Duranki)!" Shiomi solemnly declared, raising her arms high.

The conflict between heaven and earth became a reality at this moment.

The primordial hell?

It wasn't that bad.

A happy creation?

It wasn't that easy.

But the world is shaking, as if its very existence has been shaken.

The sky intended to destroy the earth, but the earth coldly rejected the sky.

Neither side would give an inch.

On the deck of Storm Border, Sakura and the others were almost out of breath.

Those memories, seemingly engraved in our DNA and passed down from our ancestors in the distant past, speak of the most primal fears.

Even though a 'barrier of life' has already been erected, it still—

"Adjust your breathing, don't be frightened by the sight before you." Morgan's calm voice rang out, "It is neither magic nor a Noble Phantasm, but the manifestation of power. At this moment, the planet obeys my will and resists the invasion of the universe."

As Morgan came onto the deck, Sakura and the others immediately felt much easier to breathe.

A defense no less formidable than the Skadi Barrier was deployed here.

Its name is "Tower".

“Why, Mother—” Bavan Shi asked, “shouldn’t you be on the bridge?”

“We can’t see what’s happening outside from inside the ship.” Morgan’s eyes gleamed with a pale blue light. “Besides, how could I resist seeing a battle like this with my own eyes?”

The fairy eyes watched all of this.

It is indeed an exquisite celestial magic trick. Both the idea and the structure are refined and beautiful, pushing the limits of human intelligence.

If it weren't for tide Jian being here, perhaps only she, sitting on the Camelot Throne, would be able to rival this magic.

With that thought in mind, Morgan silently tightened his grip on his wand while protecting everyone.

Demeter's earring fell to the shallow sea, and most of her body was submerged in the water.

She looked at herself in disbelief.

Is the body malfunctioning?

No, it was at this moment that the power belonging to the Earth Goddess became ineffective, causing the true form of the Machine God to malfunction.

At this very moment, in this sea area... in this world, there is only one person who can control the land.

Those who stand now on the sea, facing off against the sky.

"What utter recklessness... to actually take the power of a planet... as one's own..."

Demeter's bodily logic was engulfed by even greater chaos, and even her language function became strained, with her utterances beginning to fall apart.

"Ah...ah...Persephone...Persephone...my beloved child..."

Like a lost and dejected ordinary human being, he slumped into the sea, clutching his head, murmuring the names of those who had passed away.

At this point, killing this goddess would be incredibly easy.

However, Skadi, who was a little further away, did not seize this easy victory.

There is no other reason.

She couldn't look away from Shio's figure.

My heart, which had already been captivated by him, was once again won over by what he showed.

Kirshtalia Wodim's absolutely confident strike, a meteor shower from the stars, failed to reach the nearby earth.

All the meteorites were burned up before they hit the ground, leaving not even ashes.

No... I was rejected.

The planet beneath our feet refused to let the meteorite arrive.

Or perhaps, they devoured this power before it even reached the earth.

As long as Shiomi Tenkei remains standing there, Kirshtalia's magic will never be able to touch the earth.

A light shone from the void, and the world was instantly filled with dazzling light.

The white light lasted only a moment before dissipating, along with the aurora that had obscured the sky.

The sea has returned to calm, and blue skies and white clouds have returned to view.

Kirshtalia, panting heavily, barely managed to maintain her floating posture in the sky.

Chapter Forty-One: Calm Returns

Seizing the opportune moment, Morgan raised his wand and slammed it down heavily on the deck, the crisp sound echoing between the silent sky and sea.

Countless chains burst forth from the void in all directions, heading straight for Kirshtalia.

If such a large-scale celestial magic trick succeeds, that would be fine.

Unfortunately, Kirshtalia not only failed to succeed, but also had to avoid being overpowered by Shiomi and facing a counterattack. The consumption of celestial magic exceeded Kirshtalia's expectations, making it difficult for him to maintain his magic power for a while.

The fairy eye took in everything.

Morgan launched a surprise attack.

The magic that manipulates the stunted ley lines weaponry mostly comes from the conversion of the Chaldea electrical system.

After an hour of relentless barrage of attacks, Morgan still had the strength to launch a counterattack.

We'll take Kirshtalia right here and eliminate the hidden one who will take care of this Lostbelt.

Even if someone dies, as long as their body remains, Shio can revive them, even under certain conditions.

Therefore, Morgan had no intention of holding back.

Having rarely carried out killings herself, she still couldn't help but tremble instinctively when she gripped the hand that delivered the fatal blow.

"Hehehe~, wishful thinking!"

A haughty voice suddenly rang out, and flapping wings parted the inescapable chains of Kirshtalia, dispelling Morgan's attack.

Long, orange-red hair, and two pairs of wings of different shapes on her back.

He stared at Xia Xijian with an arrogant sneer, as well as the people on Storm Border behind him.

“Aphrodite.” Shiomi stared at the other woman. “You defeated…no, killed them?”

“Indeed, I intend to kill them, but there are more important things to do right now than kill them.” Aphrodite casually grabbed Kirstalia’s back. “Zeus still needs this man as an ally, whether he is captured or killed.”

"Is that really the case?" Shiomi stared at Aphrodite.

He noticed that Aphrodite looked a bit disheveled, probably because she had been caught in a pincer attack by her master and Artoria, and had retreated from the island while he was fighting with Kirshtalia.

They said it was Zeus's request—though it was probably true.

Skadi and Morgan came up behind Shiomi one after the other.

Morgan stood on the sea, while Skadi floated in mid-air.

"Hmph... It seems that even if I personally intervene, I can't stop Chaldea's progress." Kirshtalia readily admitted defeat without showing any anger. "But Shiomi-sensei, you and Chaldea have proven your strength. It is extremely dangerous for you to set foot on Olympus."

"Planning to run away?" Shio asked.

“It’s a retreat,” Kirshtalia said. “Atlantis and this sea are yours, but I will make thorough preparations in the Void Caverns.”

It is clear that Kirshtalia has abandoned this tactic of dispersing its forces and repeatedly searching for ways to annihilate Chaldea.

After losing Artemis, Lostbelt also lost its absolute air superiority.

Moreover, because Chaldea was adept at concealment, Artemis was unable to pose an effective threat.

At this moment, Shiomi noticed that Peperonchino went to Akuta Hinako and the other two, seemingly to take them away from here.

On the other side, Demeter also took flight again, drifting towards Aphrodite's side.

"If you want to come after me, then go ahead. Next time, I'll show you what it truly means to defy the goddess of love and beauty."

Considering Artemis's appearance in satellite orbit, Shiomi had reason to believe that both Aphrodite and Demeter had a similar posture.

Moreover, tide realized she also had a problem...

Seeing that Chaldea had no intention of pursuing them, Kirshtalia and her group retreated and disappeared into the sea.

Only Demeter gave Shiomi a deep look before leaving.

Once their figures disappeared, all that remained were countless warship wrecks floating on the sea, the corpses of monsters, and the remains of fallen Olympian soldiers.

“The aura has completely disappeared.” Morgan wasn’t too disappointed.

Both saying "Don't pursue a desperate enemy" and "You should pursue a desperate enemy" are correct, but it depends on the situation.

"We received a message from Scáthach; they are heading towards the coast of Hecate," Skadi informed her master of their safety.

Although Shiomi had great faith in her master and the others' strength, she couldn't help but worry about the danger of fighting Aphrodite.

After confirming that everyone was safe and sound, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so? Then...good..."

Her legs gave way, and Xijian could no longer maintain her position on the water, falling into the sea.

Fortunately, Morgan reacted quickly and caught Shio.

"My husband?"

"It seems... I tried a little too hard..."

tide Jian lowered her head, her whole body slumped helplessly, her fingertips trembling slightly, she could no longer muster any strength.

“Ritual, Noble Phantasm, Reality Marble, and then fight that young man’s Celestial Magic.” Skadi landed beside him, supporting Morgan’s body as he helped Shiomi. “Even I wouldn’t dare fight so recklessly… It’s amazing you managed to hold on until they left before collapsing.”

This is precisely why Shiomi watched helplessly as Kirshtalia and her group retreated.

Everyone had experienced some degree of exhaustion during the battle, and I myself had reached my limit.

If we rashly pursue them, we will only become a burden, and we might even be captured.

"If we don't bluff, it's hard to say how many casualties there will be in the upcoming battle."

As Shiomi spoke, Morgan and Skadi had already carried him to the deck of Storm Border and laid him down.

The ships are docking and preparing to cease combat operations.

Several Nemo sailors in charge of the duties rushed out, carrying a stretcher.

Once communication within the ship was restored, Olga Marie immediately noticed that Shiomi was exhausted. She quickly dispatched sailors to rush out and take Shiomi back to his room to rest.

"...It's not like I'm injured, why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Xi Jian was too weak to even speak, but she still couldn't help muttering to herself.

“Take a good rest, we’ll make you some potions that will help you recover quickly,” Morgan said.

Skadi nodded: "We gathered many rare herbs in Atlantis, their effects must be quite good."

"Well……"

No matter how many years have passed, Shiomi, who hates taking medicine, knows that her good days are far from over.

After all, among the top magicians around him, Orange was probably the least skilled when it came to potions.

He closed his eyes in "pain" and decided to take a nap first.

At least my dreams were sweet...

Chapter Forty-Two Care

Although Shio had fainted before being put on the stretcher, it was just because he was too tired and fell asleep.
