Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"The day that Merlin brought forward is also the day I witnessed the collapse of Uruk. But you don't need to collapse with Uruk. As long as you can escape to Nippur, your fate will surely be different, won't it?"

"If you want to survive, go to the North Wall; if you want to fight, become a cornerstone of Uruk."

"Did you understand? The time limit is until dusk. Go and say goodbye to your family and friends."

"This……"

Faced with such a pessimistic yet frank statement, the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. However, given King Gilgamesh's calm yet resolute attitude, they could only make their own choices and reluctantly retreated.

Once the hall was empty again, Gilgamesh looked at the Chaldea group standing beside him.

Then, seeing Siduri return to the throne and nod to him as always, Gilgamesh couldn't help but smile.

Then, he looked at Gudao and the others again and smiled:

"You've returned, Chaldea. It seems you've successfully defeated the Gorgons."

"Yes. But..."

Thinking of the current miserable state of Uruk, Gudao clenched his fists.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh asked:

Do you need to rest for a while?

"senior……"

Mashu looked at Gudao with concern, but after a moment of silence, Gudao shook his head and said:

"No need. Your Majesty, please let me explain what happened next."

King Gilgamesh sat back on his throne, nodded and smiled:

"Go ahead."

So Gudaf told Gilgamesh everything about how they defeated the Gorgons, their observations, speculations, and analyses along the way, including some important information Merlin left behind before he left.

"Is that so? Merlin is dead."

"So arrogant in reality, yet utterly defeated in his dreams. This ending is quite typical of him."

Gilgamesh pondered:

"And then, human evil—that's what Merlin really said, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it is said to be one of the seven evils of humanity awakened by the Magic King in this land."

Mashu asked in confusion:

"Um, King Gilgamesh. What is the so-called evil of humanity? And what are the seven...?"

Gilgamesh glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka subtly, then turned his gaze back to the Chaldea group, raising an eyebrow in surprise:

"You guys didn't know? I thought you had already found the answer during your exploration."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "?"

Just say what you want to say, why are you looking at me?

Gilgamesh ignored her, and seeing that Gudao and Mash seemed to really know nothing about it, he began to explain it to them.

Human evil, as the name suggests, is the stain on humanity, referring to the various disasters that destroy humankind. The more humanity develops, the stronger these evils become, like cancer eroding the body from within.

Human evil is not evil based on hostility that destroys humanity, but rather evil destroyed by humanity itself. It is the self-destructive mechanism and safety device of humanity, which is the origin of the summoning of Heroic Spirits.

In short, the seven calamities that arose from the bestial nature of humankind are human evil, also known as the Beast.

Now, the one awakened by the Magic King is their creation goddess, Tiamat, who is also the second beast representing the principle of "return".

"However, the Beasts on this land don't seem to be fully awakened yet; they haven't reacted at all. Right, Chaldea?"

“That’s right, just as King Gilgamesh said.”

Leonardo da Vinci picked up the conversation and laughed:

"We haven't detected that vicious spirit origin reaction yet, but if it were, right? I think it goes without saying, it must be there, right?"

—The Persian Gulf, now stained black. Rahm, who attacked Uruk, also came from that direction.

At this moment, Dr. Roman spoke up:

"We've done a rough analysis of that creature within our capabilities. Here's the conclusion:"

It was composed of divine clay, the fundamental material of what could be called the Mesopotamian world. It was an individual not yet found in the Tree of Life system, exhibiting no sexual dimorphism, and its current form was presumably still that of a juvenile.

"The reason why the magical reaction is so high is because the internal magic circuits are from the life forms of the Age of Gods. They can be regarded as mass-produced versions of Enkidu. Therefore, I named them Rahm."

“Rahim…yes, that’s what I think too.”

Gilgamesh laughed:

"Siduri, issue an order to all departments to uniformly refer to that creature as Rahm for easier management."

Siduri nodded and said:

"Yes."

"There's one more thing."

At this moment, Quetzalcoatl raised his hand and said:

"When we were clearing out those guys, I found that a group of people had withdrawn from Uruk on their own initiative for some reason, but it didn't seem like they had reached the limit of their activity or that they had received orders."

"Um……"

The group was initially stumped by the strange phenomenon discovered by Quetzalcoatl, so Gilgamesh said:

"Don't think about it too much for now."

"In short, there are two main objectives at present: one is to find a way to deal with Rahm; the other is to find Kingu as soon as possible, then defeat him and obtain the Holy Grail."

The Holy Grail is a crucial cornerstone in the construction of this singularity. If they can successfully retrieve the Holy Grail before Tiamat fully awakens, they might avoid a direct confrontation with her.

After all, compared to the fully evolved second beast, Kingu seems much easier to deal with.

But the problem now is, how do we find Jingu?

At that moment, after listening to Gilgamesh's speech, Gudao, Mashu, Siduri, and even Anna all turned their gazes to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Gudao and Mashu don't know how they found Kingu, but they already know that Fujimaru Ritsuka knows someone who looks a lot like Kingu, which might provide some clues.

Anna knew even better that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kingu were far more familiar with each other than anyone else realized, and that the two had even made some kind of deal.

Noticing their gazes, Gilgamesh also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, raising an eyebrow and saying:

"What, do you have another idea?"

"Well... I wouldn't say there's a solution..."

Faced with the probing gazes of the crowd, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then helplessly spread his hands and said:

"Actually, rather than getting the Holy Grail from Kingu, I think it's more practical to think about how to deal with Tiamat."

"Because, if nothing unexpected happens, I think the other party may have already given away the Holy Grail."

Of course, it's highly likely that it wasn't given away voluntarily, but rather that Rahm had taken a deep liking to it.

Chapter 479 Jingu the Backstabber and Jingu the Rescue

Elidu.

The Rahms, who had automatically retreated from Uruk, captured many humans and then gathered here without prior arrangement. However, this action was not due to any command they had received, but rather a spontaneous one.

At this moment, in the open space in front of the Temple of the Sun, two adult men were fighting each other. The Rahms surrounded them, watching quietly and occasionally letting out eerie, grating laughter, as if they were watching a captivating performance.

"Stop! Stop!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

As the fight between the two men continued, one of them finally managed to kill the other and then looked at the Rahms with longing.

But what awaited him were several Rahms that gradually approached him.

"Wait, this is a lie, why—?!"

"Didn't you say that if I did this, you would let me live?!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Sensing the change in atmosphere, the man's expression shifted from initial relief to astonishment, anger, and despair, ultimately turning into a horrific and agonizing wail under the tentacles raised by the Rahms.

The other captured humans, witnessing this scene, turned their heads away in unbearable pain, or clenched their fists in anger, yet were powerless to do anything about it, their faces filled with despair.

at this time--

Om-!

Several chains rose from the ground, easily piercing through the bodies of the Rahms that were torturing humans, turning into black smoke and disappearing without a trace. Immediately afterwards, Jingu, with a gloomy face, descended from the sky and arrived at the center of the Rahm swarm.

After settling the Gorgons who were temporarily unable to move, he continued to carry out the operation according to the original plan.

After Tiamat awakens, he will create a new generation of humans who are better than the old ones. However, to his surprise, he does not see many new humans along the way.

So, filled with doubt, he traveled south and finally witnessed this scene.

"What are you doing?"

"—"

Jingu coldly surveyed the Rahms before him, questioning them, but only silence answered him.

"Answer me! Are you still considered children of Tiamat?!"

"We can attack Uruk. We can kill the enemy. But why bring these harmless people here? Why do something so pointless?"

"New Humans do not tolerate pointless actions! Your actions are utterly foolish!!"

Jin Gu's angry tone was tinged with confusion.

In his vision, the new humans should be superior and more perfect than the old humans.

But the actions of these guys are even worse than those of the old humans, no, even worse than the monsters created by the Gorgons!
