Chapter 231 The True Goddess Ereshkigal Descends, Four Against One Advantage Lies with Me

It belongs to the domain of Shirou Kotomine.

Kotomine Shirou stood silently on the horizon where the sea met the sky, gazing at the scene before him.

Just now, Ereshkigal deliberately sank into this ocean, and countless curses composed of negative emotions continuously flowed into her body.

This resulted in the formation of a huge vortex.

At the center of this vortex was Ereshkigal himself.

As Ereshkigal continues to absorb the energy, the magical power within this area is steadily decreasing.

In order to maintain the existence of this domain, Shirou Kotomine continuously transformed the power within his body into magical energy and poured it into this domain.

But this seems to be just a drop in the bucket for Ereshkigal.

At the current rate at which his magical energy is being depleted, Shirou Kotomine feels he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

"What should I do?"

Faced with the current situation, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although Shirou Kotomine didn't know what Ereshkigal was doing, he was determined to support her no matter what.

After all, the two of them had already decided to work together.

But now the problem facing Kotomine Shirou is how to supply Ereshkigal with the magical power she needs.

His recovery speed couldn't even come close to Ereshkigal's rate of consumption.

This made Shirou Kotomine extremely anxious.

Just then, streams of dark power surged toward Kotomine Shirou from all over the underworld.

These forces disregarded the existence of the domain and directly penetrated Kotomine Shirou's domain to enter this world, continuously surging into the ocean beneath Kotomine Shirou's feet.

"These are all negative human emotions? So many!"

Looking around, Shirou Kotomine could clearly see the constant emergence of these negative emotions.

In that instant, he recalled what Ereshkigal had once said.

Death is the most terrifying thing.

"Is that why there are so many negative emotions in the Underworld? Or are they being generated by the souls in the Underworld that Ereshkigal has received?"

Shirou Kotomine speculated that it was most likely the latter.

After all, negative human emotions originate from the human spirit.

And their conscious spirits after death will naturally also generate these negative emotions.

Moreover, they could not understand what Ereshkigal had done.

Therefore, all they felt was deep hatred and fear towards Ereshkigal.

"This is really sad!"

Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but shake his head.

It was as if endless negative emotions flooded into Shirou Kotomine's domain, were transformed into cursed power, and were then absorbed into Ereshkigal's body.

This process lasted a very long time.

In this underworld, Shirou Kotomine's sense of time became blurred.

He couldn't estimate the approximate time.

In short, after a long period of time, Ereshkigal's absorption of the cursed power gradually weakened until the absorption ended.

"Ereshkigal!"

Upon seeing the figure emerging from the seabed, Shirou Kotomine quickly stepped forward to inquire about her condition.

"How are you?"

Although Ereshkigal hadn't spoken yet, Shirou Kotomine could sense that she was in exceptionally good condition.

Compared to before, the aura emanating from her became even clearer and sharper.

"I'm fine, I'm feeling absolutely great right now."

Feeling the immense power within his body, Ereshkigal's face lit up with joy.

Because she didn't want to part ways with Shirou Kotomine, Ereshkigal chose to actively integrate into this realm.

The process went smoothly.

She successfully became one of the Servants under the command of Kotomine Shirou.

But she discovered that her contract with the Three Goddesses Alliance had not been severed; the contract still existed.

Desperate to break free from this contract, Ereshkigal racked her brains and eventually came up with a highly probable solution.

She then obtained the Reversal Technique from Shirou Kotomine.

Then it sank into this ocean of magical power.

Here, Ereshkigal seeks to transform his own existence.

She wants to break free from her Servant status in order to break free from the contract with the goddess.

That's why Ereshkigal could absorb such powerful curses at such a high intensity.

Ereshkigal was familiar with the negative emotions that constituted these curses; she had always been accompanied by them.

Positive human emotions can form the power of faith.

This power is deeply loved by the gods.

But compared to this power, Ereshkigal is more familiar with the power formed by negative human emotions.

This is a power called a curse.

However, in this world, this power cannot be converted into curse power.

This kind of magical power is a power that only exists in a world called "Jujutsu Kaisen".

Now, Ereshkigal has mastered this power through Shirou Kotomine's domain.

She continuously transforms the negative emotions accumulated in the underworld into curse power, and then uses a reversal technique to transform the curse power into the opposite positive attribute power.

This power is very similar to faith.

But this is not the power of faith.

So there's one more step in between.

Ereshkigal then reversed these positive forces, transforming them into pure positive emotions, and then into the power of faith.

With the help of this power, Ereshkigal began his transformation.

To the gods, spell power is an unfamiliar force.

But faith is a power they are intimately familiar with.

The gods are all too familiar with how this power is used.

Thus, Ereshkigal, in his servant form, is transforming himself into a true deity.

This process is equivalent to the death of the follower Ereshkigal, and then the arrival of the god Ereshkigal.

In this way, Ereshkigal broke free from the pact with the Three Goddesses Alliance.

She gained her freedom.

And they gained power.

As a deity, Ereshkigal's power at this moment is naturally far greater than when he was a servant.

But this is in a state outside the underworld.

Even in the underworld, Ereshkigal remains invincible.

Therefore, this increase in power would normally be meaningless to Ereshkigal.

But by this time, having actively integrated into Shirou Kotomine's domain, she was already able to help Shirou Kotomine leave the Underworld and go to the Reality.

"So we succeeded!"

"Yes, we did it!"

Things were going exactly as they wanted, and both Shirou Kotomine and Ereshkigal were incredibly excited.

"Shirou, let's go to the surface!"

Grabbing Shirou Kotomine's arm, Ereshkigal said excitedly.

"OK!"

Kotomine Shirou said without hesitation.

"Let's hurry up and go!"

Ereshkigal urged excitedly.

At the same time, Shirou Kotomine's sealed power was also released.

At this moment, Shirou Kotomine could bring Ereshkigal back to Earth at any time.

But he can't go back yet.

"Wait, Ereshkigal, I have something else to do."

Reaching out, Shirou Kotomine patted Ereshkigal's hand that was gripping his arm and said with a smile, "I have one more thing to do in the Underworld."

"That means bringing King Gilgamesh back!"

As they continued walking along the stone path, Shirou Kotomine soon saw Gilgamesh staring at the ground.

"You've come, Shirou."

Without turning around, Gilgamesh had already guessed that Shirou Kotomine was coming.

"I've taken care of everything, we can go back now."

Kotomine Shirou was not surprised at all.

"Yes, I know."

Gilgamesh nodded.

He turned to Shirou Kotomine and said, "I knew you came to the Underworld, but my clairvoyance soon lost its effect, and I'm now trapped here unable to get out."

"I knew back then that you would face that troublesome goddess alone."

"Who's the troublesome goddess?!"

Ereshkigal shouted angrily.

At this moment, Ereshkigal is inside Shirou Kotomine's body, but unlike other cursed spirits, Ereshkigal is much freer.

She can share Shirou Kotomine's perception.

She can also freely enter and exit Shirou Kotomine's body without restriction.

And I can speak as freely as I do now.

Although Shirou Kotomine's spirit control technique has an absolute binding effect on spirits, it depends on the person using it.

Someone like Ereshkigal, whose strength far surpasses that of Shirou Kotomine, is someone Shirou Kotomine simply cannot handle.

However, Ereshkigal is also understanding.

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't do anything to trouble Shirou Kotomine.

Unless it is an unusual situation.

For example, calling her a troublesome goddess in front of her face.

"Oh, Shirou, you haven't been entangled by the goddess of trouble, have you?"

Gilgamesh laughed.

He showed no intention of changing his statement.

However, he instantly understood Kotomine Shirou's current situation.

He had been secretly watching over Shirou Kotomine all along and was well aware of Shirou Kotomine's abilities.

Therefore, he understood that this was because Shirou Kotomine had subdued Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld.

This represents a significant leap in strength for Shirou Kotomine.

"Who, who's bothering him!"

Ereshkigal, whose sore spot had been directly hit, loudly defended himself.

She even stopped caring that Gilgamesh hadn't changed his address.

Then he retreated into the depths of Kotomine Shirou's inner world and hid away.

"Hidden?"

Gilgamesh asked with a smile.

"They've hidden themselves."

Kotomine Shirou responded with a smile.

The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"That's really her style." Gilgamesh shook his head and looked at Shirou Kotomine: "Then let's go."

"It's time to go back, otherwise Siduri and the others will be getting impatient."

Kotomine Shirou nodded.

The next moment, Shirou Kotomine and Gilgamesh disappeared into the underworld.

At that moment, the underworld beneath Kusa also vanished.

"king!"

Upon seeing Gilgamesh, Siduri and the others quickly ran over.

Shirou Kotomine took Gilgamesh's soul directly back to where his body was sleeping, waiting for him to wake up.

After Gilgamesh woke up, the two of them went to the Tower of Gods together.

And so this scene unfolded.

Having avoided the crowds in Uruk, Kotomine Shirou headed towards the location of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Merlin.

And standing beside them was Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god.

"Oh, so you not only defeated the goddess, but you also recruited her."

"I said with a smile."

"Shirou!"

Upon seeing Kotomine Shirou, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others quickly greeted him.

"It's you."

Quetzal recognized Kotomine Shirou instantly.

After all, when she came to attack Uruk before, she had greeted Shirou Kotomine, who saw her.

However, Shirou Kotomine went to the Underworld afterward and did not join the team that was going to defeat her.

So this can be considered their first meeting.

"That's right, it's me."

With a smile, Shirou Kotomine greeted Quetzalcoatl and then began chatting with the group that had gathered around him.

"Shirou, did you defeat that mistress of the underworld?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka inquired.

Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl joined in.

They were clearly very interested in this.

After all, Shirou Kotomine went to the Underworld alone.

Compared to their superior numbers, the situation for Shirou Kotomine's side is clearly much more difficult.

"How is that possible? Ereshkigal is invincible in the Underworld."

"Ishtar must have experienced something like this firsthand."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze focused on Ishtar.

"What are you guys looking at? I just accidentally fell into Ereshkigal's trap. Otherwise, how could I have lost to her?"

The proud Ishtar defended herself.

"Accidentally? Who are you trying to fool!"

A surge of magical energy flowed from Shirou Kotomine's body, landed on the ground, and then transformed into the figure of Ereshkigal.

She pointed at Ishtar and loudly rebuked her.

"well!!!"

"You, how did you get here! Ereshkigal!"

Upon seeing Ereshkigal's sudden appearance, Ishtar immediately panicked.

In order to salvage her dignity, she had no choice but to lie to get through the current predicament.

Unexpectedly, the person involved discovered it.

This immediately put Ishtar in an even more awkward position.

But to save face, she had no choice but to stick to her opinion.

Then Ishtar and Ereshkigal started arguing loudly.

"Shirou, what's going on?!"

At the edge of the battlefield between the two goddesses, Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned close to Kotomine Shirou, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered a question to him.

"As you can see, Ereshkigal has chosen to leave the Three Goddesses Alliance and join us."

"In order to break free from the contract of the Three Goddesses Alliance, she voluntarily merged into my abilities."

"That's how she was able to come to the ground."

Kotomine Shirou explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka in a low voice.

"So that's how it is!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said excitedly.

The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka saw Ereshkigal appear, she guessed what had happened.

After all, only in this way could Ereshkigal appear here.

Even though she could guess, Fujimaru Ritsuka still wasn't sure, so she went to Kotomine Shirou to confirm.

After all, this is extremely important.

This means that of the three goddesses who once stood in their way, only the Beast Goddess remains as their formidable foe.

However, their own side already has four goddesses.

Ishtar, Ereshkigal, Quetzal, and the panther god.

Four against one, that's the advantage for me!
