Even with a fist-sized bump on his head, the leopard-man still stubbornly insisted on his words.
"Is this guy alright?"
"Of course, she probably won't reflect on her actions until she dies, so it's okay."
Anna seemed to understand the leopard-man's personality well, and spoke in a very calm tone.
This greatly displeased the leopard woman, who reached out and pointed at Anna, a hint of grievance on her face.
"Hey, Servants die too, you know. As a fellow lone Servant, you can't possibly not understand how I feel, meow. I may not be a goddess, but I am still a great spirit!"
"I'm not like you. That person once said, I've never been alone!"
Anna drew her weapon with a serious expression and assumed a fighting stance.
The leopard-man didn't know who Anna was referring to, but he instantly understood when he saw her strike that pose.
The leopard-man, completely oblivious to the scythe in front of him, moved right up to Anna.
"You have no right to know!"
Anna took a few steps back, clearly wanting to keep this secret to herself.
But the leopard man clearly didn't want to miss this opportunity, sticking close to Anna's body like a curious cat.
Meanwhile, Merlin whispered something in Gudako's ear.
The leopard-man's ears twitched, as if he had overheard something extraordinary.
"I heard everything you said, because I have four ears, but that wonderful possibility doesn't exist, I can say that with certainty!"
Just now, Merlin wanted Gudako to persuade the leopard people to join Uruk's "133" ranks through negotiation.
The leopard-man shook his head frantically, brimming with confidence.
Gudako swallowed hard, walked slowly to the leopard man, and cleared her throat.
"Ahem, beautiful leopard lady..."
The moment their eyes met, the leopard man felt his heart begin to race.
Before Gudako could even finish her sentence, the leopard man himself had already fallen for her.
After all, no one had ever called her that before, so you could say she had won herself over.
"Okay, I'm in! From now on, I'm your teammate, meow!"
The leopard-man's eyes gleamed, completely absorbed in Gudako's praise.
"I understand, I understand, it's about defeating Quetzalcoatl, right? Leave this small matter to your sister!"
Gudako's lips twitched a few times. She hadn't even finished speaking yet, so why did she change her mind so quickly?
Just a moment ago he looked ready to fight and kill, but now he has revealed all of Quetzal's information.
The sudden change left everyone speechless; this goddess was far too easily fooled.
Led by the leopard-man, the group arrived in Ur.
"You're... from the Chaldea Embassy!?"
The sound coming from not far away made everyone turn around and look.
The soldiers who had been defeated by Quetzalcoatl were now standing alive and well in front of them.
Mashu was filled with surprise. How could soldiers who had clearly died back then have come back to life?
"Those of you from Uruk who were abducted, are you all still alive?"
"Ah, um, we were all surprised that they didn't die after that."
Although it sounded a bit awkward, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after learning that they were all still alive.
At this moment, the leopard man suddenly stood up and explained:
“Yes, yes, it looks like he was killed. Although he was indeed killed, the child resurrected him while delivering the fatal blow.”
"really……"
Gudako remembered what Morgan had once told her: Quetzalcoatl was the pinnacle of goodness.
Unconsciously, Gudako's confidence in persuading Quetzalcoatl grew stronger.
Meanwhile, Morgan appeared before Quetzal, and the two were discussing something.
"They'll be here soon, are you ready?"
"Isn't it you who's here? Besides, I'm quite interested in them too."
Quetzal's eyes revealed a hint of amusement, and he paid special attention to Morgan in front of him.
Morgan frowned, not understanding what Quetzal was thinking.
Her plan was to let Gudako grow in desperate situations, so that she could solve problems even without Servants or Mori's help. That was Morgan's goal.
This was so that Gudako would be prepared to deal with Goetia and not panic too much.
She was even prepared to make a sacrifice, which of course meant letting Gudako kill Moli with her own hands.
Quetzal was a perfect target to exploit, but things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.
“You don’t understand. That person has already left my base and will soon be back.”
"Didn't you take away all his abilities? How easy is it for an ordinary person to survive in this era? He might have been eaten by monsters long ago."
Upon hearing Quetzal's words, Morgan shook his head, a hint of confidence appearing on his face.
"This is the only one I'm confident in. A person like him would be a king-level existence no matter what era he lived in."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Quetzal’s eyes; she had never heard Morgan speak of anyone in this way before.
It should be noted that although the two had not known each other for long, Quetzal was not entirely confident that he could defeat Morgan.
This piqued Quetzal's interest in the Moli that Morgan had mentioned.
"You mean, there's a possibility he might show up and disrupt our plans?"
"It's not just possible, it's certain!"
Morgan's tone was unusually firm. For some reason, she seemed less composed than before when it came to Mo Li.
"Interesting. Let me see what an ordinary person who has lost all his powers can do!"
Quetzal's face revealed a sinister smile that sent chills down one's spine.
Morgan sighed, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.
The next day, the group walked through the jungle and a temple of the sun god appeared before them.
"Roar--!"
The temple was guarded by more than a dozen pterosaurs flying in the sky.
Faced with the charging pterosaur, Merlin decisively chose to cover the rear, allowing Gudako and the others to continue advancing.
Following the stairs of the Temple of the Sun, Gudako reached the top.
"that is……"
Looking at the enormous axe standing atop the temple, Gudako let out a sigh.
"That's Marduk's Axe! It's several times bigger than I've heard!"
Marduk's Axe is the ultimate weapon that Gudako and the others used to fight the goddess Gorgon.
Just as everyone was marveling at the sheer size of Marduk's Axe, a shadow appeared in the very center of the temple.
"Hi~! Welcome to my Temple of the Sun!"
Gudako looked up and saw Quetzal, dressed in South American attire, greeting them warmly.
"Fujimaru, very good, very good. I believed you would come. It was worth waiting for you here."
The next moment, Quetzalcoatl's face contorted into a ferocious expression.
"Honestly, how should I put it? It's a good thing you didn't decide to kill time outside Eridu. If you had done something as cowardly as 5.3, I wouldn't hesitate to go against my own principles and kill everyone, you know?"
The "kind" smile and the oppressive aura emanating from him made everyone feel a little breathless.
But Gudako still forced herself to look up at Quetzalcoatl, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"Alright, your goal is the Sunstone, right? The longer you can stop me, the more opportunities Master will have. Come on!"
Quetzal spread his arms wide, showing no intention of launching an attack, seemingly allowing them to assault him at will.
Looking at Quetzalcoatl, who was riddled with openings, Mash broke out in a cold sweat.
"This is the only way, Anna. I'll cover you from behind!"
Anna nodded, stepped onto Mash's shield, and used the recoil to charge straight at Quetzalcoatl.
Mash followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Quetzalcoatl's movements, ready to protect Anna at any moment.

"boom--!"
Mash barely managed to withstand Quetzalcoatl's heavy blow, her palm throbbing slightly.
Quetzalcoatl smiled with satisfaction after dodging Anna's scythe, and then nodded.
"Hmm, that's really good. I'm getting more and more interested in crushing you."
While Quetzal was fighting Mash and Anna, Gudako arrived at the altar of the Temple of the Sun.
Dr. Roman's image appeared on his wrist, analyzing the stones on the altar.
Soon, Dr. Roman came to a startling conclusion.
"Fujimaru, that stone is the Sun Calendar Stone, a megalith used by the ancient Aztecs to display the past, present, and future of the world!"
"That is undoubtedly Quetzalcoatl's second Noble Phantasm, which is also the source of her power!"
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Gudako's forehead. Her eyes were fixed on the giant rock behind Quetzalcoatl, and she muttered to herself:
"As long as that is destroyed..."
"I see, you noticed that. Okay, I'll accept any challenge!"
Quetzal, wielding his bronze greatsword, ignored Anna and Mash behind him and went straight to Gudako.
Seeing that Gudako was about to die on the spot, Mash and Anna rushed forward and pointed directly at Quetzalcoatl's head.
But Quetzal made no move, seemingly only having eyes for Gudako.
"clang--!"
Just as Anna's attack was about to land on Quetzalcoatl, a black longsword blocked her way.
Anna looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Mo Li" stood behind Quetzal, a faint smile on his face.
"Anna, it's been so long!"
As Morgan spoke, he raised the Black Emperor Sword high, his smile growing wider.
With a "plop," blood flowed down Anna's shoulder and onto the ground.
"Anna!"
Gudako shouted anxiously, her fists clenched tightly, but she dared not move her body at all.
Before Quetzalcoatl, and now Morgan, Gudako has never been in such a predicament.
Anna covered her injured area and quickly backed away, putting distance between herself and Morgan.
Morgan made no move to pursue them, after all, she knew that Anna was a secret weapon against the Gorgons.
"There's no other way. I can't just stand by and do nothing in this situation. Let's go, Leopard Man!"
Ishtar stretched his limbs and boarded the Skyship Maana, flying through the air.
The leopard-man nodded, brandishing his cat-claw weapon, and charged straight at Quetzalcoatl, shouting:
"Kukur, I won't show any mercy!"
The situation suddenly turned into a four-on-two battle, but the result was quite unexpected.
