"Oh no! Da Vinci's lab exploded again! Wait, why did I say 'again'?"
News of Da Vinci's lab explosion instantly spread through Chaldea. Many people rushed to see the commotion, only to see Fujimaru Ritsuka and Da Vinci being carried out on stretchers.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face was covered in soot, their hair was standing on end, and their eyes looked utterly defeated.
Da Vinci, still reeling, held up their damaged glove, utterly confused as to why it hadn't worked!
"How could… this happen?"
Da Vinci, refusing to believe it, snapped their fingers again!
*"Snap!"*
A jolt of electricity surged through Da Vinci's body. Already an explosion of hair, Da Vinci convulsed and fell unconscious. The glove on their hand shattered into pieces, drawing gasps of alarm from the surrounding crowd.
Mo Shuying didn't join the onlookers because a new person, or more accurately, a Heroic Spirit, had suddenly appeared in his room.
"Hiss… what's going on? Where is this? Huh?! Who are you?"
It was a girl with twin pigtails, dressed in a cowboy outfit, with a gun and a katana at her waist.
"I-I-Ishtar!!"
Mo Shuying was stunned! He had been sitting on his bed, thinking about how to deal with these goddesses, when the next second, a goddess literally crashed into his room, and he actually recognized her!
"Huh? You know me? Are you a fan of mine? Hahaha! As expected, my fans have spread across the entire universe! Hahahahaha!"
Ishtar's expression changed quickly. Upon realizing she was recognized, she immediately became cheerful and excited.
Mo Shuying frowned, quickly sensing something was off.
"Wait? You're Space Ishtar!"
Mo Shuying felt a surge of caution. This wasn't the cattle-herding goddess Ishtar; it was an extraterrestrial visitor! An alien cosmic deity of the Avenger Class.
Her name was Space Ishtar, or she could also be called S. Ishtar.
"Ah! What's with all this 'Space' nonsense! It sounds terrible, not cute at all! And who are you? I was chasing an interstellar criminal and just landed on a planet, how did I end up here the next second? Where exactly is this place?!"
Space Ishtar was fuming. Her monthly performance bonus was almost within reach, and then the next second she appeared in a strange place with a strange man staring at her with lustful eyes! How unlucky!
"…Ahem, this, actually, is Olympus Planet in the distant M78 Nebula. Our planet suffered greatly and is now completely destroyed. Only this one place remains, striving to save the world."
Mo Shuying didn't tell the whole truth. This was definitely not the M78 Nebula, and Mo Shuying didn't know if Ultraman existed in this world, but if they did, apologies, he was using them as a shield!
"M78 Nebula? What kind of place is that? Somewhere the Galactic Alliance hasn't explored? Well, whatever, send me back quickly, or else I'll put your planet on the blacklist!"
Space Ishtar said fiercely. Mo Shuying looked bewildered. He had no idea what was going on, let alone how to send her back.
"This… I don't know how you got out, so how can I send you back?"
Mo Shuying shrugged, speaking with great helplessness.
"I don't know how I got here either, but if I can't go back, you guys definitely won't have a good time. Send me back quickly!"
Space Ishtar remained as self-centered as a goddess should be, completely disregarding Mo Shuying.
Left with no choice, Mo Shuying decided to try and appease Space Ishtar first. This entity was an alien god; her sudden appearance surely signaled trouble, perhaps even an attempt to destroy the world.
"Then, should I go out and ask?"
Mo Shuying pretended to get off the bed, but he actually moved closer to Space Ishtar. The moment Space Ishtar nodded!
*"Chains of Heaven!! Crushing Hand Splitter!!"*
Mo Shuying immediately switched to Gilgamesh's Class Card. A barrage of Chains of Heaven suddenly flew out from all directions, wrapping around Space Ishtar's limbs and waist.
"Ah!! You're gonna—"
*"Thwack!"*
Mo Shuying punched Ishtar, giving her a black eye. Her right eye swelled, and tears streamed down her face.
"Boohoohoo! You dared hit me! I'm going to destroy your Olympus Planet! No! And the M78 Nebula too!! So these things no longer exist in this universe!!"
*"Thwack!"*
"Ah! Can you stop hitting my face!"
Space Ishtar's eyes were both bruised black, and tears flowed incessantly.
"Tell me! How did you get here?!"
Mo Shuying's single question left Space Ishtar dumbfounded.
"What? I was about to ask you! Why did you summon me for no reason! You didn't even give me a chance to refuse! I was just dragged over here! Do you know how many tens of thousands I make a minute?!"
"…"
Mo Shuying paused, then raised his right fist.
"Big brother, I was wrong!"
Space Ishtar said quickly, her eyes still bruised.
A wise man knows when to cut his losses. The first rule of survival in space: strive to live, by any means necessary!
"Alright, as long as you know you were wrong. Now, I'll ask you again, how did you suddenly appear in my room?!"
Mo Shuying was also feeling down. Here he was, lying at home, and a goddess drops from the sky. Is that good? No, it's not! It's just asking for trouble!
"I..."
Space Ishtar felt even more wronged. She hadn't done anything yet, and she'd already gotten two punches for no reason. Now she had to carefully consider her answer, otherwise she'd definitely get hit again!
But just then.
"Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo! Senpai, she's been— uh..."
Mash burst through the door in a panic, only to see Space Ishtar restrained and suspended in mid-air.
"Gulp~ Ah! Excuse me! I'm so sorry!"
Mash's face instantly turned crimson, and she spun around, ready to flee.
But Mo Shuying, with a dark expression, teleported to block her path.
"This one is... an Assassin. I've captured her and am interrogating her!"
Mo Shuying explained, but Mash's expression clearly showed she didn't believe him.
Interrogation? Using such a humiliating pose?! That's simply outrageous!
However, Mash remembered Fujimaru Ritsuka still lying in the infirmary, writhing in pain, so she nodded and said,
"None of that matters, Mr. Mo! What I need to tell you is that Da Vinci and Senpai were injured by explosive gloves Da Vinci made! The doctors said it's very serious, and Senpai was also badly affected. Mr. Mo! I've come to ask you! Please save Senpai!"
Mash's tone was always sincere, but this time it was even more so. She bowed deeply, as Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition was at stake.
"Huh? Exploded? That one! My constant worry has finally come true!"
Mo Shuying shook his head and sighed. Da Vinci's inventions eventually exploding was like the electric fans in school classrooms—everyone always worried they'd fall down.
Mo Shuying didn't think much further. Just as he was about to agree to Mash's request to go and treat them, he suddenly noticed Space Ishtar's body seemed a bit translucent.
"Huh? Ishtar, your body... has it become somewhat transparent?"
Mo Shuying couldn't help but ask.
