Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Having been brought to the air by Fujimaru Ritsuka's ability to watch the battle, everyone was finally able to gather together temporarily and have a brief opportunity to talk.

"that……"

Gudao hesitated for a moment, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him, before finally deciding to address her as usual. Then, with some concern, he asked:

"Gudako-san, is the current situation... really alright?"

Dr. Roman nodded sharply, looking worried:

"Indeed. After all, that's Beast! Can we really trust them?!"

The idea of ​​one evil human helping them uphold human morality and fight against another evil human is utterly absurd.

Even though such an outrageous thing happened right before their eyes, he was still a little apprehensive, fearing that Goetia and Tiamat might suddenly join forces and turn against them.

If that situation really occurs, then even he would probably be powerless to help.

As for their concerns, Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand and smiled:

"Don't worry, Tiamat would never do that. And you all heard what she just said, right?"

"Well..."

Gudao and the others exchanged glances, nodded with difficulty, their expressions still somewhat indescribable.

The main problem is that just half a day ago, they had barely defeated Tiamat, repaired the Seventh Singularity, and returned to Chaldea.

Therefore, their impression of Tiamat remained very deep: a powerful and terrifying enemy that was difficult to deal with, the second beast that almost truly destroyed humanity.

Even if the other side suddenly reverses course and appears as an ally to provide support, it will be difficult for them to immediately change their original perceptions and impressions.

Seeing this, Mashu smiled and echoed Fujimaru Ritsuka's words:

"Please rest assured."

“Unlike some of the other beasts, including our own Leonardo da Vinci and Mr. Holmes, everyone agrees that Miss Tiamat has been perfectly safe so far and is a trustworthy servant.”

"Leonardo da Vinci...Sherlock Holmes..."

Hearing this familiar, or perhaps somewhat unfamiliar, name spoken by Mash from another world, the Chaldea group felt a strange sensation for some reason.

During the Sixth Singularity, they had contact and communication with Holmes, but they weren't particularly familiar with him.

Judging from Mash's tone now, it seems that their Holmes has become a permanent servant of Chaldea, just like Leonardo da Vinci.

Their differences piqued their curiosity, and if the timing weren't so bad, they would have liked to learn more about them.

However, more importantly—

“If I heard correctly, Mash, you just mentioned ‘the other part of the Beasts’…”

Roman swallowed hard, and asked incredulously:

"Could it be that, besides Tiamat, there are other human evils...?"

"……Um."

Seeing Roman's expression, Mashu glanced awkwardly at Fujimaru Ritsuka, then said somewhat embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry. For various reasons, so, that..."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, which was the last thing he wanted to hear, Roman felt his vision go black and he almost fainted.

Besides Tiamat, are there other beasts also staying in Chaldea?

No, then can this still be considered an organization dedicated to saving humanity?!

Gudao and his junior Mashu looked at each other, finding it hard to imagine such a scene. They felt that the Chaldea of ​​another world had a very different and unique art style from theirs.

Of course, this is something that can be clearly understood simply by looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu in front of us.

at the same time.

Mashu, the younger sister, looked at her counterpart from another world with some curiosity, having many questions she wanted to ask, but not knowing how to begin.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Mashu looked over as well, giving her a kind smile. She quickly nodded in response, feeling a little shy, and found the feeling quite wonderful.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed:

"I know everyone has a lot to say, but let's wait until after the battle."

"Of course, doctor, you'd better stay right there and don't move around!"

The sudden targeted mention drew everyone's attention to Roman. Gudao and his junior Mashu also vaguely guessed something from Fujimaru Ritsuka's implication, and their gazes towards him unconsciously carried a hint of worry.

Meanwhile, looking at Roman in another world, Mashu's gaze was also somewhat complicated, carrying a mix of sadness, nostalgia, and joy.

At this point, Roman was basically certain that Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others from the other world had already experienced all of this. He immediately felt a pang of guilt, and faced with so many concerned gazes, he decisively succumbed, raising his hands in surrender and laughing:

"Yes, yes, I understand."

"I won't do anything as long as I can defeat Goetia like this."

Roman's words immediately brought the topic back on track, and everyone lowered their heads to look at the battlefield.

"The time of birth has come; let this rectify all things!"

Despite abandoning the chanting aspect of her third Noble Phantasm, Goetia replenished its power by adding extra energy, and even became stronger in the process.

A dazzling light covered the entire area, and a surging torrent of magic instantly engulfed Tiamat's figure, blasting a huge hole in the ground!

The giant band of light was originally collected over thousands of years as fuel for time reversal. Although it was indeed a powerful offensive weapon, its current use was rather extravagant and wasteful.

Even Goetia himself felt a pang of pain looking at the damage he had caused.

After all, if they accidentally consume too much energy and are unable to travel back to 4.6 billion years ago, the beginning of Earth's existence, that would be a complete defeat for them.

However, he had no other choice at the moment, because ordinary power was unlikely to harm Tiamat. If he wanted to eliminate her completely in one fell swoop, this was the only way.

When the light faded, Tiamat's figure and aura completely disappeared, leaving only black mud on the ground and a huge hole in the center, as if he had truly "killed" her.

But Goetia knew this was merely a false illusion, and his goal was not to completely annihilate his opponent—

The moment he confirmed that Tiamat's presence had vanished, he immediately looked up and locked onto Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, unleashing his Noble Phantasm once more in the same manner, intending to annihilate them completely in one fell swoop.

But at this moment——

"boom--!"

What was originally just a thin layer of black mud covering the floor suddenly surged up like a raging sea. The next moment, accompanied by huge waves hundreds of meters high, a colossal figure tens of meters tall suddenly emerged from the black mud—

"That's—?!"

Upon seeing this, Gudao and the others' pupils constricted slightly, and the psychological trauma from not long ago resurfaced. Reappearing before them was Tiamat, who had abandoned her human form and completely transformed into a dragon.

Tiamat's enormous body, as large as a small mountain, stood between Goetia and the Chaldea group, blocking Goetia's path.

Then, she opened her hideous maw, and a torrent of magical power erupted forth—

"【My steadfast son, you will surely defy the principles of creation (Nammu Duranki)!】"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 502 Then Come On, All of You

【My steadfast son, you will surely defy the principles of creation (Nammu Duranki)】

Tiamat's EX-rank Noble Phantasm has temporarily returned to the Sea of ​​Life, manifesting as a dragon spirit origin. It uses its massive spirit origin to unleash magical power to crush enemies, making it a very simple physical attack Noble Phantasm.

The scene at this moment was just like the previous scene flipped over. The surging torrent of magic released by Tiamat instantly engulfed Goetia's figure, and the buildings behind him were also completely destroyed!

However, when the attack subsided, Goetia reappeared in everyone's sight, completely unharmed.

No, to be precise, it was a resurrection.

Moreover, the site, which had been ravaged by the relentless bombing, gradually recovered as if time had reversed.

At the same time, after unleashing her Noble Phantasm, Tiamat reverted from her dragon form and returned to her adult form.

Looking at the perfectly intact Goetia before her, she puffed out her cheeks and muttered in dissatisfaction:

"You wicked beast!"

"..."

In the unfolding of their second Noble Phantasm, "The time to crown has come, let this inspire all things"—which is the alternate dimension and Reality Marble beneath their feet—the Grand Temple of Time, Goetia possesses paradoxical immortality.

To kill Goetia, you must first destroy the Grand Temple of Time; and to destroy the Grand Temple of Time, you must first kill Goetia.

In other words, to completely defeat Goetia, both he and the Grand Temple of Time must be completely destroyed at the same time.

Otherwise, he would have been able to resurrect so easily as he is now.

However, Tiamat doesn't seem to have the power to kill both him and the Grand Temple of Time at the same time.

however--

"It's really troublesome..."

Goetia let out another annoyed sigh; he had lost count of how many times he had uttered that line.

It is indeed very troublesome.

Although he seemed invincible thanks to his paradoxical immortality, Tiamat was in the same boat, and in some ways, even more troublesome.

Because the other party possesses dual immortality.

As the origin goddess who holds the principle of "return" and gives birth to life, she cannot be killed until all life on the earth is extinct.

The Chaldea group, now watching the show from above, became the absolute guarantee of the other party's immortality;

More importantly, Tiamat itself, as the ocean that gave birth to life, had no concept of death.

For her, death was more like slumber and exile. No matter how one killed her, it would only mean banishing her back to the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers, plunging her back into slumber.

To truly kill Tiamat, one must either completely destroy the Earth, or go back to the beginning of Earth's existence 4.6 billion years ago and erase Tiamat's consciousness from the conceptual level before it was born as an ocean.

Otherwise, just like before, he did successfully "kill" the opponent once, but the opponent was able to immediately use the dragon body to return.

Therefore, the situation is now completely deadlocked, with neither side able to do anything to the other.

“Aaaaaaa—Aaaaaaaaaa—!!!”

Even so, Tiamat remained relentless. Dozens of thin laser beams shot out from her massive horns, tracing twisting lines in the air and weaving into an impenetrable net that bombarded Goetia.
