Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"It's just that we've expanded our intelligence. Thanks for your hard work." Shiomi smiled at her. "What we need to do hasn't changed. Besides, the people here have noticed that we're outsiders, so we need to leave before we attract attention."

Moreover, the residents here all possess remarkably strong magical energy, no different from the heroic spirits of the pan-human history.

This must be the result of the grace of the gods.

Without war, hunger, disease, and death, humans could live indefinitely. Even though they may look just as young, most of the people here are probably no older than Shiomi.

“Not only that…” Morgan lowered his voice, “that person even noticed that I wasn’t human, but a fairy.”

“Really?” Scáthach was surprised.

"It was also related to my carelessness. Because the magical reaction was strong, I subconsciously used my fairy eyes to observe, and the other party noticed me," Morgan said.

Although the other party did not become hostile or wary because of this, they were just surprised that there were fairies on Olympus and thought Morgan was an apostle of some god.

"It seems the people here are indeed not simple. Be careful and on guard. I should leave here quickly too." tide Jian held Morgan's arm and gently reminded her.

But before they could finish speaking, the city's bells rang out, reaching their ears.

It also reached the ears of city residents.

Then, as if some kind of decree had been issued, everyone stopped, whether they were playing, talking, or reading, whatever they were doing, regardless of age or gender.

They straightened their posture, stood still, and looked up at the Orbital Temple above with piety, as if they hadn't heard this voice for hundreds of years.

"My beloved citizens of Olympus, this is a proclamation from the Orbital Temple of Dodona. It is the goddess Europa who issues this proclamation."

This is a divine oracle, this is a divine oracle.

Invaders have appeared in the interstellar city mountains. They are invaders from outside. There are three invaders, ferocious beings from Pan-Human History, from Chaldea. They are destroyers of three Lostbelts, world destroyers. They are rude scoundrels who despise us Olympians, evil beings who arrogantly claim to be the true inhabitants of the world. Their existence must not be tolerated; violence and taboos will be ineffective against them.

Therefore, leave the streets immediately and return to your buildings; do not go outside. The soldiers of God will then clean the streets; anyone who disobeys will be considered an accomplice.

As soon as the kind female voice finished speaking, the atmosphere on the street changed.

People left without complaint, running towards buildings in all directions and closing their doors one after another.

Even when tide saw them standing still on the street, she only glanced at them twice before paying no further attention.

"Oh? I didn't expect them to be so merciful to the Olympians. I thought the gods here would only regard human life as worthless."

Shiomi could sense a massive amount of magical energy approaching the street, and among this energy, there were several that reacted particularly strongly.

"And these citizens are very obedient... so which way should we go?"

Scáthach leisurely fiddled with her long hair and asked Shiomi.

Chapter 71 The Hospitality of Olympus

tide Jian knew very well that her master's question was mostly a joke.

After all, when they entered the western region of the interstellar city, they did not take any specific covert measures. Zeus was able to quickly discover their presence and then arrange for forces to annihilate them.

This is also the purpose of their operation.

It wasn't about deceiving Zeus and sneaking into the great temple of orbits, but about attracting as much attention as possible from all of Olympus on the way there.

"It doesn't matter which way we go, right?" Shio shrugged. "Besides—"

As he spoke, the earth began to tremble.

"If that's the case, Olympus's reaction speed is truly exceptional." Morgan shook his head. "If my fairy kingdom could also have such effective soldiers and equipment, perhaps—"

"Yes," tide Jian shook her head.

“The best soldiers and equipment are all in my beloved disciple’s Londinion,” Scáthach teased. “After all, humans are more presentable than fairies.”

“…That’s not wrong.” Morgan sighed.

The three of them chatted idly, not intending to flee, but waiting for the forces of Olympus to arrive.

“This number, I estimate, is around a thousand people.” Scáthach raised her hand and gripped the crimson spear. “I thought there would be more.”

Don't underestimate them.

Morgan raised his hand, and countless cyan magic spears appeared above the three of them, aiming at the approaching soldiers.

The grand magic trick, completed in an instant, poured down on the soldiers without hesitation, triggering a series of massive explosions. The billowing smoke and dust instantly ignited the once pristine city into a battleground.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. The Olympian soldiers who had surrounded them held up their shields and formed a neat array to resist Morgan's great magic.

Morgan was not surprised by this, and added:

"Do you see that? These soldiers all possess the power of Heroic Spirits."

“That armor and shield are the legacy of the gods… no, they should be called divinely crafted weaponry,” Scáthach guessed.

tide Jian replied softly, "It can't be wrong."

“They’re coming, let’s say something?” Morgan suddenly reminded him.

"Huh?" tide Jian was taken aback.

“Since we’re going to make a scene here anyway, we have to say something,” Scáthach said.

After all, what they need to do now is to create chaos and keep moving around, luring the defense forces here so that Artoria and her special forces can operate more covertly and search for the vanguard of the Pan-Human History Followers.

The bigger the commotion they make, the better they can serve as camouflage for the special operations team.

Therefore, Shiomi, as a core combatant, must always be kept within Zeus's field of vision.

“If you really can’t do anything about it, then—” Shio scratched her head, looked at the soldiers rushing towards her, and raised the gun in her hand, “Let’s party!”

As these words fell, tide Jian slammed her crimson spear forward with tremendous force.

The attack, imbued with magical power, tore through the air, transforming into an invisible torrent that tangled the soldiers at the forefront, yet failed to tear them apart.

The divine armor is exceptionally strong and is a mass-produced Noble Phantasm.

But even the strongest armor has its limits.

The cursed crimson spear is its limit.

Snap!

tide Jian's crimson spear pierced the bodies of two soldiers. He then used them as hammerheads, spinning the spear to fling the killed soldiers away, who then crashed into the soldiers behind him.

Shaking off the blood from her gun, Shiomi silently watched the soldiers who had been temporarily forced back.

"It seems that the armor's defensive capabilities are below those of a B-rank Noble Phantasm," Shiomi said softly.

“That’s right, otherwise even I would have had to borrow a gun from my beloved student.” Scáthach laughed.

The two guns formed a protective arc around Morgan, shielding her within the center and allowing her to confidently use one spell after another.

But it was clear that the soldiers also realized that Shiomi and Scáthach were warriors responsible for fighting, with the goal of protecting the magician behind them.

Then, the swords in the soldiers' hands changed shape.

The sword blades that were originally formed by magic suddenly disappeared. They changed their weapon-holding posture, and the grip openings that had created the sword blades instantly became ranged weapons that could fire magic projectiles.

"A trivial skill."

Morgan's eyes gleamed with a deep blue light. She swept her hand across the void, and a golden, semi-transparent wall enveloped the three of them, rendering the magic bullets completely immovable.

"It seems these soldiers have a big misunderstanding about us."

As tide Jian spoke, she swung her vermilion spear forward. The arc drawn by the spear blade left behind a pale white light that was quite different from the vermilion color.

Thalassic Calamity.

A biting blizzard howled out, spreading outwards as if it had its own will, turning into a tornado that swept through the city, leaving no Olympian soldier unscathed.

Even if they manage to stand firm and avoid being swept away by the wind and snow, they are unable to move further because their bodies are covered and frozen by solid ice.

"Let me finish up."

Scáthach threw her weapon.

The crimson spear spun in the sky, then suddenly stopped, splitting into hundreds and thousands of clones that poured down like a torrential rain.

Even with divinely crafted armor, they could not withstand Shiomi's great magic. These soldiers turned into pure ice sculptures, shattering into countless pieces under Scáthach's attack.

Their blood was frozen, and there was no gushing blood.

"It's coming," Morgan whispered a reminder.

A giant iron fist, taller than a person, descended from the sky and landed on the three's position, but the three dodged it first and jumped out of the attack range.

The ground was smashed into a crater several meters deep, and the shockwave spread outwards, scattering the ice fragments that had enveloped the soldiers' bodies.

The true source of the massive ground tremors finally arrived at this battlefield at this moment.

The bronze giant, as if unwilling to damage the city's buildings, supported the tall buildings on both sides and turned into the street where Shiomi and the others were.

"Intruder detected, begin elimination."

A mechanical sound rang out.

"It's a bronze giant, a mythical monster that absorbed the legacy of Rhodes Island. Is it the defensive structure of Olympus, meant to assist these soldiers in battle?" Shiomi raised an eyebrow, her expression finally turning serious. "Judging from the magical energy, it's completely at the level of a god..."

As he spoke, he tossed Gungnir to Scáthach, while he himself gripped the chosen spear.

“This doesn’t look like a monster that Zhu Qiang could handle.” Morgan chuckled. “Without my chosen spear, Scáthach would only be able to tickle this big guy.”

"You're quite relaxed, that's even better."

They teased each other, but the three of them had already formed a defensive formation with their backs to each other, without letting up in the slightest.

Chapter Seventy-Two: The Bronze Giant

The once-prosperous city was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye, and the bronze giants attacked without hesitation.

They avoid bumping into buildings when moving, but once they start fighting their target enemy, they can no longer care about such trivial matters to the gods.

Boom-!

Shiomi fell like a meteor, crashing into the back of the bronze giant. The silver blade of the Spear of Choice pierced through the armor, but failed to effectively stop the giant's movement.

The bronze giant staggered slightly from Shiomi's impact, and the roar of its engine grew even stronger as it revved up to full power, shaking violently and preventing Shiomi from staying on the giant's back for long.

Not only that, but one after another, cannons opened on its arms and chest, but instead of small missiles, they fired magic cannons. These magic cannons were not linear attacks; the internally programmed spells caused them to turn around halfway and aim at Shiomi and the bronze giant itself.

Ultimately, it was their own magic power; when the bronze giant was created, they probably already considered whether it could withstand their own attacks.

A series of explosions erupted around the bronze giant's body. Shiomi, who managed to escape in time, landed on the top of a building that was only half the height of the bronze giant.

The giant waved its massive arms, creating a gust of wind that scattered dust. Its eyes flashed as it regained sight of Shiomi.

"Fafa has discovered the target!"

Boom—!

Another loud bang.

The strike, combining speed and power, directly destroyed the house where Shiomi was staying. The stylish white modern building was instantly reduced to ruins, and the residents inside could not even utter a cry before becoming part of the ruins.

"It's really tough. The chosen spear has stabbed it so many times, but it's still not very effective."

Having dodged the attack, Shiomi landed on another building and remarked with a sigh.

“It’s a weapon forged by the gods, so this level of sturdiness isn’t surprising at all.” Scáthach shook her head. “If melee combat alone isn’t enough—”

As her master spoke, Xijian looked up at the sky. Morgan floated in a higher position, waving indifferently at the bronze giant.

The magic of the Tower, the Holy Lance Longominiad falls.

Sensing the immense magical reaction, the bronze giant immediately crossed his arms and deployed a defensive barrier.

However, this barrier, which is extremely strong even for human magicians, is still far inferior to the grand magic performed by Morgan.

Soon, the Holy Lance crushed the bronze giant, making it impossible for him to stand, and the enormous figure was submerged in the golden flow of magic.

The area where the giant once stood was now devoid of any intact buildings, and the once exquisite streets had been reduced to pure ruins.

As the light faded, the bronze giant prostrated himself on the ground, his bronze armor almost completely melted away, revealing the orange-red crystalline skeleton inside, which shone with magical radiance.

"It really is indestructible; it's so difficult to destroy."

Morgan landed back on the ground, examining the motionless bronze giant. She raised her hand again, preparing to deliver another blow and destroy the giant.

However, she was startled by the changes that occurred on the giant's bronze body.

Morgan was then embraced by Shio, who pulled him back to avoid the magic cannon that was raining down from the sky.

It turns out that while being subjected to Morgan's magic, the Bronze Giant secretly fired cannons at a higher place, thus delaying his descent.

"A machine, with this kind of intelligence?" Morgan was stunned.
