Davidian's Holy Grail War

"Hmph, but a true farewell to the gods... I really did utter such foolish words in a moment of impulse. In that case, I cannot stay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, I've told you about the correction of human reason before, haven't I? Uruk will indeed perish, but if Tiamat, and I, as the foundation of this singularity, disappear, the ending will be interpreted differently.

He bid a final farewell to the two of them in the manner of a wise king, while also explaining these matters to them to avoid leaving any regrets.

The reign of Gilgamesh, the fifth king of Uruk, will indeed end, but the era of the sixth king of Uruk will still exist.

It's not just Tiamat who must be defeated; he's also someone who can't go to the future.

He was previously worried about his own fate, since suicide was not the kind of ending a king should have. Now that he has suffered such a fatal injury, it is just right. He has to thank Ritsuka for this.

"Traveler from a foreign land, remember this well. Even if we mobilized all beings in this era, we could probably only go this far. You are a stranger, an outsider in this era, a superfluous thing."

But it is precisely because it is superfluous that it can launch a final counterattack against a destruction that we alone cannot overturn. The time is ripe; the outcome is in your hands.

At this moment, Ereshkigal's shout came from below: "Preparation complete! Now we can send Tiamat to the underworld!"

Chapter 285 The Absolute Winner of the Marathon

Upon hearing Ereshkigal's voice, Ritsuka immediately shouted at Ishtar in the air, "Now is the time to make a big hole here so that Tiamat can land!"

"OK! Got it! Open the gate! From the great heavens to the great earth! I don't care about anything else after that!"

Golden light burst forth in Ishtar's eyes, and Venus in the sky transformed into arrows that flew to Maana's bowstring. The power of this strike would be unprecedented!

"Shoot it down! [Mountain Shattering Star's Fire!]"

The next moment, the arrow fell from the sky and struck the ground beneath Tiamat's feet. Mash and Ritsuka used all their strength to stabilize themselves.

Just as they were trying to stop King Gilgamesh, he simply let his body slowly fall toward the underworld.

The different actions of the two sides led to the current result: Ritsuka and Mash were unable to grasp Gilgamesh's body and could only fall towards the underworld.

However, Ereshkigal immediately granted them the right to float and exist in the Underworld, which immediately stabilized their bodies.

They landed slowly on the ground, and when they were completely safe, they immediately thanked Aileen.

"Let's not talk about that now, look over there!" Ereshkigal pointed her spear into the distance, and everyone looked in the direction she was pointing. There stood Tiamat.

Blue arcs of light danced across Tiamat's body, the light and heat causing her excruciating pain.

"Wow, that's incredible! The heat, equivalent to Ishtar's Noble Phantasm, is relentlessly scorching Tiamat!" Roman had already obtained the data from the detectors; the Underworld's defense system was truly formidable.

"This is the defense mechanism of the underworld, specifically designed to deal with living beings who trespass into the underworld without permission. These are the rules established by the world itself, and even Tiamat would be finished if she did this."

Ereshkigal explained the matter to everyone, and Ritsuka immediately praised the power that belonged only to her as truly amazing.

With just a few simple words, Ai Lei was once again overjoyed, leaving Fu Fu completely stunned.

"And then? What about King Gilgamesh? Wasn't he with you?" Ereshkigal asked again, while Ritsuka and Mash only showed sad expressions.

Eresh understood what they both meant, so she raised her gun and declared to Tiamat in the distance:

"Although this is somewhat unfair to King Gilgamesh, let me launch a full-scale attack now! The mistress of the underworld will end all of this here!"

A crimson forest of spears appeared in the sky above the underworld; Ereshkigal had unleashed her power.

【O Garuda spirits of the underworld, O forest of corrupt spears! Unleash the judgment upon us, the intruders of the underworld!】

"What? It's nothing special. Even Tiamat is just an ordinary god in the underworld. She was no match for me and the Garuda spirits in our all-out attack. She's nothing..."

Ereshkigal was now strutting around like a madwoman; she was the one who had defeated Tiamat.

But the next moment she was terrified as a chaotic tide surged from beneath Tiamat, enveloping her entire body.

Tiamat's body even began to deform amidst the waves of the chaotic tide, a sight that left everyone in disbelief.

"Whhh...what happened?! What on earth happened?!"

Ereshkigal felt her connection to the underworld weakening. No, it was even beginning to be severed! She had never felt this way before!

[Oh no! The Chaos Tide has begun to erode the Underworld. If this continues, the Underworld will be completely taken over! Not only that, Tiamat's spirit origin is expanding further!]

The spirit origin has returned to the Age of Gods... no, to the Jurassic! This can no longer be summed up by divinity alone; it is undoubtedly the body of a god!

[The Spirit Origin Expansion Project has ceased, and the Magic Core has been confirmed to be continuously restarting! The damage sustained during the fall into the Underworld is gradually recovering! The transformation of the dragon's form is complete! It's about to emerge; that will be Beast II's true form!]

The moment Tiamat completed the transformation of her dragon form, she roared to the sky, and the waves of chaos surged even more fiercely than before.

Mashu and Ritsuka were already drenched in sweat; this being was beyond their comprehension.

How can we fight like this? We've fought with all our might to this point, and just as King Gilgamesh said, Tiamat really does have three phases!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There's no way we could defeat that thing!" Ai Lei was almost paralyzed with fear. She thought she had seen it all, but now it seemed she was still too naive!

Is this the divine body of the gods who created the world? It seems that I, the god of the underworld, am far from qualified!

[The tide of chaos will come crashing down and that's it! Now is not the time to talk about these things!] Roman was sitting in his seat, almost frantic with worry. He racked his brains but couldn't come up with a single solution to this predicament!

However, at this moment, the leopard man and Tomoe Gozen also arrived at the battlefield. The leopard man shouted directly at the crowd:

"Stop talking nonsense and use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve! Tiamat is at her weakest right now."

If we don't find a way to solve this problem here, not only will humanity perish, but the entire Earth's ecosystem will be completely overturned!

Both of them were now badly wounded; the remnants of Rahmu's gang above had been completely wiped out by them. Fortunately, they had arrived in time and were still able to fight.

"But the black mud is everywhere! How can we fight it in this state?!" Ai Lei was desperately trying to regain control of the underworld, but she couldn't keep up with the speed of the erosion by the chaotic tide.

Tiamat's power far surpassed hers; she couldn't simply take it back as she pleased.

Just then, the massive wave of the chaotic tide crashed in! The group gripped their weapons tightly, bracing themselves for the terrifying impact, but they all knew in their hearts…

They'll probably have a hard time stopping this wave.

However, at this moment, the flowers bloomed.

The black mud was completely transformed into beautiful flowers, and Aileen watched this scene in disbelief. Had her long-cherished dream actually come true in this moment?

"This flower, could it be!" Ritsuka immediately realized who had arrived; only Merlin could bring such a miracle!

[The Chaos Tide is being rapidly neutralized; Rahmu's release count is zero. Could it be...?] Roman couldn't believe it either. Could that piece of trash have really come from the other side of the world?

"Alright! We've finally caught up!" As they thought this, Merlin descended from the sky and landed in front of them.

This magic trick involved traversing space, time, and even the original body—it took a lot of effort to pull it off! Fortunately, it was all worth it, and the crucial moment finally arrived!

"Since it is the ocean that nurtures life, then let's use these powers on harmless and tiny life forms. So it's my turn to make my appearance, the Magician of Flowers. I can't tarnish this title."

After Merlin finished speaking, he turned to smile at everyone, and everyone except Fou expressed their joy at Merlin's arrival!

Chapter 286 Superb Support

[Huh? Merlin, what are you doing there?! Are you summoning again?! Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even the summoner is gone now.]

Merlin simply laughed at Roman's shock, saying that he was the real Merlin. Although he had been in a bit of a hurry, he had managed to get here using the Fairy Village.

What he hated most was sad farewells. Even if it cost him his life, he couldn't let this ending be sad.

However, Tiamat was also enraged by this act of deception. Tiamat unfurled her fully restored horns and prepared to take off again to return to the surface!

"Unbelievable, she still has such power even after being forced to this point?"

There was absolutely no time to feel joy at the return of the power of the underworld to her hands. Ereshkigal was now almost panicking. Was Tiamat's power inexhaustible?

But Tiamat has such immense motivation that she's now determined to struggle no matter what.

The hatred and sorrow of being abandoned because it was no longer needed in human history, and the joy of replacing the Earth's ecology after being abandoned and becoming the mother of all things again.

These two feelings became her driving force, so much so that she had to struggle no matter what; this was her struggle to survive!

The title of Goddess of Creation is false. The beast before us is the one abandoned by mankind, the greatest calamity rejected by mankind, one of the seven evils of mankind, and the beast that holds the principle of return—BeastII!

"Fujimaru, Mashu, your journey in this singularity is the most arduous yet, and that beast is the strongest enemy you have ever faced."

Quetzal destroyed her great horns, Gorgon slowed her down, and Uruk was used as bait to push her into the underworld. The chains of heaven bind her, the punishments of the underworld, and I, these mere flowers, am but a shell of my former self.

He recounted in detail all the things that had happened along the way to delay Tiamat, and as everyone recalled those events, they felt not only sadness but also pride.

"You've gone through so much to get to this point! But it's not enough. That guy still knows no fear, no natural enemy, and no concept of death!"

Merlin's words made them all understand—there was another expert!

"It's not King Gilgamesh's Holy Grail, nor the Holy Grail of the Sorcerer King. Needless to say, it's you, Ritsuka. He also said—to repay this favor to you, he's willing to give up his Grand Master title."

The enemy is human evil—the Beast. From the very beginning, the conditions for his arrival on this land were already in place; all your battles are meaningful!

At that moment, Ritsuka understood who had arrived. The only Grand Servant they had ever seen!

"Alright! Come on! Look up at the sky, O Sea of ​​Origin! Your Grim Reaper stands right there!"

Merlin made a declaration to Tiamat, and Tiamat, just as he had said, looked up at the sky.

She instinctively sensed that true terror was there!

The old man stood there, still leaning on his cane and dressed in rags, but these appearances were of no concern to him. He simply addressed Tiamat calmly:

"Without death there is no life; only through death can life be attained. The eternity you speak of is not walking, but slumber. O beast of calamity, evil born of humankind, the very foundation that yearns to return to compassion is the very basis that rejects you."

Though I am a god fallen to beast, as the god of origin, I must announce my name! I have come swiftly from the depths of the abyss, from the darkness of death. I am the Old Man of the Mountain—Hassan-Sabah!

As he spoke, his cane transformed into a greatsword, and his tattered clothes shed to become heavy armor. A skull helmet appeared on his head, and the flames of death burned in his eyes.

"The title of Grand Master is not what I need; the proof of my strength lies solely in this one strike. The evening bell has already pointed to your name; I will, by the will of Heaven, strip you of your wings!"
