FATE: Target of Grand Master

"With the Uruk Cup, my dearest friend's body should have recovered, and you should now be able to break through these Rahm. Quickly disappear from my sight and use this last bit of time to do what you want."

Kingu looked at Gilgamesh for a long time, and Gilgamesh looked back at Kingu. Finally, Kingu jumped up and flew into the air, heading towards the sea.

Without thanks or farewell, Kingu left without looking back, but Gilgamesh saw in its eyes a determination to do something, and that was enough.

In order to create an opportunity for Gilgamesh and Kingu to communicate, Xia Yan in the air commanded Morgan and Ibuki to annihilate all the Rahms that approached them.

Seeing Jin Gu leave, Xia Yan finally spoke to Gilgamesh, "Your Majesty, let's return to the temple."

Gilgamesh nodded, pulled a levitation magic carpet from the Royal Treasury, sat cross-legged on it, and the carpet carried Gilgamesh toward the temple.

Although the magic carpet is not as fast as Vimana, it is enough to prove that King Gilgamesh had far more than just Vimana as a flying device.

When Xia Yan accompanied Gilgamesh back to the temple, the Rahmans in Uruk had been almost completely wiped out. Although the seashore had been occupied by the Rahmans, they no longer flew towards Uruk, seemingly waiting for Tiamat to truly awaken.

"Siduli, report the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Currently, there are 68 survivors in Uruk. After removing the four Masters, there are 64 remaining, all of whom are in the temple."

Siduri had already compiled a summary of the situation in Uruk.

"Alright, send them all to the North Wall front, turn my divine seal around and point it this way. I will need them to provide fire support afterward."

Gilgamesh then tossed another vial of potion from the Royal Treasury to Lan Muyan.

"The Uruk Cup that I bestowed upon you has been used up by me again, so I will reward you with this. Your sickly Saber should find it useful."

"Who are you calling sickly?! Cough..."

Okita Souji wanted to retort, but then coughed up blood.

Lan Muyan patted the commander-in-chief on the back and asked, "Your Majesty, could you explain the purpose of this?"

"This elixir can cure any disease, and in my opinion, its effects are second only to Asclepius's elixir that can bring the dead back to life. It can even cure diseases etched into your Spirit Origin, like those afflicted on your sickly Saber. However, if it returns to the Throne of Heroes and is summoned again, it will not cure the disease."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace; this is of great importance to me."

After hearing Gilgamesh's introduction, Lan Muyan immediately stood up, knelt down on both knees, and bowed deeply to Gilgamesh.

Wang simply waved his hand casually, signaling Lan Muyan to get up, and then said to everyone present, "Some of you should be able to sense the magical reaction from across the sea. Tiamat, who has obtained the Holy Grail, is about to awaken, and a fierce battle will follow immediately."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We are all ready."

Upon hearing Xia Yan's speech as a representative, Gilgamesh stood up and declared passionately, "Excellent! This is the final battle facing my Uruk, and it will determine your very survival. Even if my Uruk perishes, as long as you leave alive, we will be the victors. And to achieve this, it's quite simple: defeat Tiamat and let this old god return to where it belongs!"

"yes!"

Xia Yan, Feng Yan, Lan Muyan, and Diao Yunshang, the four masters, echoed in unison, then turned and walked out of the temple.

Just as Gilgamesh was giving his final pep talk to his four Masters, an enigmatic song drifted from the distant sea.

A giant horn, symbolizing the earth, breaks through the sea, its beautiful yet sorrowful eyes reflecting the inner sea of ​​stars. The creator goddess Tiamat returns from the deep sea to return to this world that was once driven out by her children.

"Mother, why are you doing this to me?"

King looked at the beautiful female life form and questioned her loudly.

However, Tiamat didn't even glance at it, and all Kingu received were countless jeers and attacks from the Rahms.

Kingu was deeply disappointed by Tiamat's reaction, but this also completely severed his last shred of hope for Tiamat, and he temporarily fled the sea.

Even standing at the temple in Uruk, Xia Yan and the others could still see Tiamat's enormous figure. The shock of witnessing it firsthand was something they could never fully experience, no matter how many times they watched the anime or played the game.

Xia Yan immediately began to make arrangements: "Diao Yunshang, your servants are not in good condition, so you and Wenhou will have to step down and escort Siduri, Miss Tsuru, Nero, and the 64 surviving people from Uruk to the North Wall."

"Feng Yan, Lan Muyan, you two come with me to attack Tiamat. I've already sent Ereshkigal back to the Underworld to make preparations. As long as we follow the original story's rhythm and blast it into the Underworld, we can win."

"Xia Yan, I've been keeping an eye on this. We're missing a key Servant in this trial—the first Hassan, the Grand Assassin-class Servant known as the 'Old Man of the Mountain.' Without his selfless attack that gave Tiamat a concept of 'death' that she didn't already possess, Tiamat would not have been able to be defeated."

Diao Yunshang expressed her concerns, but she noticed that the other three did not show any signs of worry.

"What's wrong? Did I overlook something?"

"That's right, you've overlooked something very important."

Feng Yan laughed and said, "Think about it, when I returned from Eridu, besides Quetzal and the leopard-men, what else did I bring back?"

Diao Yunshang pondered for a moment, seemingly having found the answer: "You mean 'Marduk's Axe'?"

"That's right. In the original story, the 'Axe of Marduk' was used to smash the Temple of Blood, and Quetzalcoatl was punished by losing half of his divinity. But here, our Quetzalcoatl was unharmed, and the 'Axe of Marduk' has been kept hidden from us. Guess what kind of special attack effect it would have on Tiamat if Quetzalcoatl swung it at full power?"

Diao Yunshang wasn't sure what the effect would be, but Marduk was the one who killed Tiamat in mythology. If Marduk's Axe actually hit Tiamat, it would definitely give the creator goddess the concept of "death".

"I'm fine now."

After figuring everything out, Diao Yunshang felt more confident in defeating Tiamat.

"Okay, if there are no problems, we'll go our separate ways and contact each other immediately if anything happens."

After Diao Yunshang and her followers left, the rest of them boarded Vimana and headed towards the sea that was gradually being eroded by black mud.
