"Merlin."
Shen Qiu gently wiped the dust from the corner of her mouth, then looked at the Flower Magician beside her.
"I've made up my mind, I want to..."

"Really? So that's what you were planning to do."
After hearing Shen Qiu's reply, the Flower Magician sighed softly, his expression complex. If the boy really intended to do that, then it was possible for him to defeat Tiamat.
"But you know the price you paid for doing that. I don't know how you became the Third Magician and inherited the power of the Third Magic."
“However, I know that such a path must be full of thorns and ruggedness. If you do this, you may offend the Alaya consciousness, and I don’t even know what the consequences will be.”
"The best outcome might be being stripped of power, the worst outcome..."
Merlin paused at this point.
He looked at the boy in front of him, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, once again, and then suddenly ruffled Shen Qiu's hair.
“You love this land of Uruk more than I do, and you love the people of this land more than I do. If it really comes to that, I might as well go and talk to her in person.”
His eyes were full of doting affection.
Shen Qiu quietly looked at the flower magician who often called himself an older brother, and then revealed a determined look in his eyes.
"I've made up my mind, let's go!"
Uruk, the capital.
"Is that so? The expedition failed, the mage's fate is unknown, and Tiamat has already led her beasts to attack the ground. It seems that we have reached the most critical moment."
Gilgamesh did not show any surprise after hearing the report from Fujimaru Ritsuka. As a king, one must remain calm under any circumstances.
Even when the end of the world is imminent, this remains true.
"Tiamat... cannot die. She herself is the Mother of Life, and has no concept of death. The mage wanted to forcibly destroy her spirit origin with a power that does not belong to this world. Only he can do it..."
At this point, Mashu finally burst into tears, tears she had been holding back for so long.
"That's not the case; there are other ways."
"Other...methods?"
Gilgamesh sighed, then snapped his fingers. A mirror slowly appeared from the ground, and on the other side of the mirror was... the underworld?
“Ereshkigal, I know you’re in there, come out now.”
Gilgamesh's words were both stern and urgent, and soon a red-eyed girl wearing a brown coat appeared in the mirror.
"Miss Ereshkigal..."
"As long as there are any living beings on the ground, Tiamat will not be harmed, nor will she die, is that right, Romani Archman?"
Yes, that's right.
A suffocating atmosphere permeated Chaldea, and the uncertainty surrounding Shen Qiu's fate cast a deep shadow over the entire place.
"Then, Ereshkigal, I ask you, what if we send that guy down to the underworld?"
"Conquer the Underworld?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was the first to realize that the underworld was the realm of the dead, a forbidden zone for the living, and the domain of Ereshkigal's power. If they could really defeat Tiamat and send her to the underworld, there might still be a chance to turn the tide.
At this time, within the capital city of Uruk.
Looking at the deserted streets and houses, Shen Qiu realized that the King of Uruk had made a choice: instead of rushing to the palace, he was just wandering aimlessly.
He's looking for someone.
A person who can give them hope of victory.
He looked at Anna's house and thought of all the wonderful things this young woman had given him.
He looked at the food street and thought of the grand banquet that everyone had held to celebrate his return as a hero when he first defeated the Gorgon.
Although I haven't been here long, this is truly a wonderful place.
"Young man, are you searching for Yu?"
Just as Shen Qiu was lost in his memories, an old man's voice reached his ears.
"Mr. Jusulad."
Shen Qiu turned around and saw the figure of an old man whose entire body was covered in yellow cloth. At the same time, his heart began to pound. This was the first time he had seen the legendary Grand Order.
Jusulad, or rather, King Hassan, is the highest-ranking Servant among the seven legendary Grand Servants, possessing numerous terrifying unique skills.
They also possess power sufficient to contend with God.
"Yes, that's the person I've been looking for, sir."
On the deserted street, a boy and an old man faced each other.
"Tiamat has already defeated our attacks several times, and her army is now poised to strike Uruk. We cannot possibly contend with her on our own!"
"Therefore, I hope to receive your help, the pinnacle of the Grand Order, Hassan al-Sabah!"
Shen Qiu knew that, in any case, without Assassin sacrificing his Grand rank for that one strike, they would never have been able to defeat Tiamat, as had already been proven in the previous battles.
"Young man, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person."
"As a human being, you dared to challenge the gods. I have witnessed your courage and your actions, which often remind me of many past events."
King Hassan removed his hood, revealing his true appearance.
A deep blue skull face burning with blue flames.
"But your only flaw is that you are too gentle, which is a fatal flaw."
"You still want to move Beast II, who has fallen into the form of a calamity? That's impossible, young man. Please remember my next words."
"...One cannot show understanding to those who hate, nor sympathy to those who rejoice."
"One cannot show understanding to those who hate, nor sympathy to those who rejoice."
Shen Qiu gently pondered those words, then nodded.
"You are not from this world, but your actions have moved me deeply. Don't worry, young man, when the time is right, I will appear and make that Beast Mother Goddess taste the bitter fruit of arrogance."
"So, fight with confidence, and protect everything you want to protect."
After leaving behind these words, the old man who called himself Zhusulade disappeared from Shen Qiu's sight as a cloud of dust rose.
"It seems things are going more smoothly than expected. In that case, our chances of winning are probably around 80%."
After Shen Qiu finished his conversation with King Hassan, Merlin appeared beside Shen Qiu. They had united all the remaining forces in the world, and only the final battle remained.
"Huh? Smash her into the underworld? How could you do such a thing?" Ereshkigal was shocked upon hearing Gilgamesh's words, and then his face turned red.
"You foolish goddess, who do you (Li Qianzhao) think is responsible for things turning out this way? Do you even understand what the situation is like on the ground right now!"
Gilgamesh's sudden outburst of rage caught many off guard, stemming from Shen Qiu's "death."
“We can defeat Tiamat without doing that. We can just defeat her fair and square right here on the ground, Wang Ke.”
Just as Gilgamesh clenched his fist, that familiar boyish voice once again reached everyone's ears, accompanied by—
"Oh dear, it's been a long time, Fujimaru, Mashu, Ishtar, and the King."
"It's... the Wizard, and Merlin!"
Just then, Anna suddenly rushed towards Shen Qiu and threw herself into his arms.
"It seems your relationship has progressed by leaps and bounds while I was away. That's wonderful."
"Your Majesty, there's no need for that. We can defeat that Beast Goddess fair and square right here on the ground. Trust me one more time; I have a way."
Shen Qiu's eyes were full of determination.

Gilgamesh looked at the boy in front of him with a complicated expression.
Historically, he is now very old. Although his face still looks like that of a young man, his physical age is actually over fifty, which is quite old in this era.
He looked at Shen Qiu, as if the two of them from their youth had overlapped at this moment. Back then, they were both like this: forever unyielding, forever resolute, forever young.
"Tiamat has already landed on the ground. In two days at most, she will arrive in Uruk. Have you thought it through? If we cannot truly stop her this time, then Mesopotamia will truly face its demise."
"In less than two days, today, today, we will banish this goddess from this world."
After speaking, Shen Qiu walked towards the rooftop of Uruk and took a deep breath under everyone's gaze.
He once asked Gemstone Onzelrich what the true powers of the Third Law were.
Zelrich told him, "The connection to the Throne of Heroes is part of the power of the Alaya consciousness, which places all the famous figures in human history to sleep within it."
"Now is the time to awaken them."
The boy took a deep breath, gazed at the forty-meter-tall Mother Goddess of Creation in the distance, and slowly raised his right arm.
"In the name of the Third Mage, I hereby summon—"
Silvery-white magic flowed from the boy's body, gathering beneath his feet and gradually forming an array of eight six-pointed stars.
