“I saw you in my dream sacrificing your life for the people of your world. You are undoubtedly a hero and should not be bound by your master’s ideas.”

"Perhaps," Wu Nan replied with a hint of bitterness. He stood up, looked at the girl connected to him, and said softly...

“I don’t know what I should do in this world, but since you helped me, Aika, I will help you. The Holy Grail or anything else, I will help you obtain it.”

"Ah, that's such a reassuring answer." Aika interlaced her long, slender fingers, tilted her head, and smiled...

"But Wu Nan, the reason I like you isn't because you're so strong and reliable. It's because I truly fell in love with you at first sight."

"I'm going out for a bit." Wu Nan lowered his head and fled as if escaping, avoiding a direct confrontation with the girl's intense gaze and unwilling to meet her expectant eyes...

He's always been like this, he's always been like this. Even though two women who love him and whom he loves say they don't mind each other, Wu Nan's moral compass still can't drive him to do such an "immoral" thing.

Ai Ge was right; Bai Wunan's strong moral compass was indeed extraordinary to some extent... and all of this was indeed thanks to the teachings of his master, the Martial God Mingdao.

Of course, Wu Nan doesn't mean to blame his most respected master... but looking back on his life, Wu Nan must admit that his abnormal "kindness" compared to the world began with the teachings of his master, Mingdao Wushen...

This inappropriate kindness indirectly gave rise to the evil "self" within him... No matter what Bai Wunan says, that evil Bai Wunan is still Bai Wunan.

His indecisiveness on certain issues is something he can't change no matter what. For example, when facing a girl who likes him, he can't go against his conscience and act recklessly, nor can he bring himself to reject her directly.

Aika watched Wu Nan's fleeing figure, tilting her head slightly... A fairy-like smile, like a flower blooming under the brilliant sunlight, blossomed on her face.

From the beginning until now, from the moment Bai Wunan was summoned, Aika could no longer see that consistent future.

What will happen beyond the vast expanse of time?

What answers lie in the distant future? Answers that were once so clear have now become an enigma that can never be solved.

But precisely because of this—

Love songs bring immense joy. The unseen ending and the unpredictable outcome bring intense unease, but also an irresistible curiosity and excitement.

That dark body of water brings people the fear of the unknown, but at the same time, it also brings them the joy of anticipation.

The talents and strengths we are born with are both a blessing and a curse.

But Ayaka Sajou isn't like those self-pitying, self-righteous good-for-nothings... She has gifts that others crave but complains about this and that.

The kind of happiness she longed for lay in the pursuit of things beyond her own power. In Bai Wunan, she saw the excitement and anticipation of exploring the unknown future.

This must be what love tastes like.

"I'm loving you more and more..."

Aigo gently placed her hand on her chest. Her angelic face, radiating a sweet smile, revealed a pair of clear, unadulterated sky-blue eyes that were almost unfocused...

Savoring all of this with sweetness, the princess of the origin, though unable to see the future, had already determined, through the restless quantum fixation belt, a possibility that was bound to happen.

She gazed at the familiar glass conservatory, everything so clearly etched in her memory. Her slender, pale index finger touched her lips, and she whispered…

"It's a pity, but there must be setbacks in any love story."

55. The Demise of Uruk

Perhaps the destruction of Uruk was inevitable.

Standing atop the walls of Uruk, Gilgamesh gazed at the approaching ancient mother goddess in the distance, chanting a song no one understood…

Tiamat, who intends to turn all life into black mud and return to her mother's embrace, rides forward through thousands of dark swamps.

Beside her was Gorgon, who had been completely defeated and whose spirit foundation had shattered.

This was the final battle. After gathering the three goddesses and defeating Gorgon, they faced their last and strongest enemy.

Tiamat, the mother of creation, the source of salt water, created the foundation of life on Earth... existing as the womb that randomly designed and generated life on Earth...

Yet, following ecological and environmental problems, "human evil" has been cast into the Dirac Sea by the Earth...

Through the collapse of human reason and the power of the Holy Grail, Mother returned from the world of imaginary numbers to the world of matter and began to sweep away humanity.

Indulging in the act of returning to "joy" as the mother of all things.

Its name is Beast II—one of the seven evils of mankind, a beast that possesses the principle of "return".

She is theoretically an ultimate being that cannot be defeated; as long as life exists on Earth, she is absolutely immortal.

The Chaldea Master devised a long plan to defeat her.

The Quetzalcoatl's sunstone burned away the black mud beneath her feet, and Tiamat, who had grown wings, was once again struck down to the ground by Quetzalcoatl's Noble Phantasm.

The black mud continued to spread, and even the goddess's full-force attack could only barely stop the mother goddess's advance. Then, the demon goddess, who had once been her enemy, began to wrestle with it, shattering one of her large horns before being defeated by the mother goddess.

All the damage caused is ultimately meaningless; the power of the Mother Goddess can restore and regenerate it at any time.

She is the creator of Earth's ecosystem, the mother of all things, and possesses absolute life bestowed upon her by the planet.

Now, Tiamat is heading towards Uruk, the last place on this land where life still exists.

Everything is proceeding according to the Chaldea Master's plan.

"In the end, I will surely succeed," the king thought, peering into the future with his all-seeing eye.

Before the plan even began, he had glimpsed a successful future... and of course, he also saw the future in which he would sacrifice himself.

Everything will succeed, and humanity will once again find the path to hope from absolute despair, and then once again step into the dark path in the face of a bright future.

It has always been this way, and has never changed.

Uruk is on the verge of collapse, and the tide of chaos will eventually spread here.

The end of a world was declared with the destruction of Uruk.

Even though he had already foreseen this future, Gilgamesh still couldn't control his emotions as he watched the black tide approach Uruk.

The golden celestial vessel carrying Ishtar and the others hastily landed beside him. Looking at this annoying goddess, Gilgamesh said indifferently…

"You're back. It's only been half a day, so take a look. This is the entirety of Uruk. This is the civilization that was just one step away from disappearing, the end of this world."

The towering flames engulfed the entire city, but even more terrifying were the chaotic tides that surged forth with the black mud.

Countless newborn Rahms, like countless birds, fluttered through the city. These dark monsters, following their mother's command, hunted and assimilated all the "rebellious children"...

"That's going too far... Although I often take my anger out on Uruk, there's no need to go this far. Does Tiamat really hate humans that much?"

Ishtar's ruby-like eyes reflected the entire tragic city. She seemed to feel a chill as she hugged her bare arms and murmured softly...

"Who knows? The beast's voice can't reach us. Besides, that thing might not even have any self-awareness," Gilgamesh replied calmly.

"And from the moment she became evil in humankind, she was no longer the Tiamat you heard about from the Father."

She had no target for her hatred; her very existence was to overthrow the foundations of humanity and then replace them—this was the mission of all human evil.

Gilgamesh said this, feeling no anger or sorrow whatsoever... for he had already foreseen this future and understood the root of all this damned chaos.

However, at this moment, the wise king was filled with an indescribable sense of unease... and he was certain that the source of this unease was not Tiamat.

At this point, Gilgamesh glanced at the black-haired boy beside him, the last Master of Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Entangled in fate and cause and effect, humanity's last master. The "protagonist" on this ever-flowing, fate-ridden worldline.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Accompanied by a long, mournful roar that no one could understand, a colossal black shadow, with dragon wings, descended upon Uruk, trampling waves of black mud and shattering the city walls!

Gilgamesh gripped the divine seal tightly in his hand. Now was not the time to ponder such superfluous questions; it was time to confront the strongest enemy...

"The 360 ​​Dingirs positioned at the city gate will hinder her advance. Fujimaru, go do what you must do!!"

Gilgamesh growled at his Master behind him... Feeling intensely uneasy, he even threw her onto Maanna prematurely... because that intense unease was becoming increasingly indescribable!

The problem doesn't originate from Tiamat; the problem originates from—the sky.

He is the final bait, who will lure Tiamat here, causing her to fall into the underworld and face the fate of human evil being destroyed!

But why does it feel so strange? Why can't his all-seeing eyes detect anything possible? Why...?

A sharp chill that spread down his spine made Gilgamesh almost unable to contain his emotions, and it was at this moment—

hum...

As the sound echoed throughout Uruk, a dark "pathway" opened above Tiamat's head!

Covering the entire sky, it looked as if an incomparably huge beast in the sky had opened its bloody maw!

Ishtar, who was soaring with the Chaldea Master known as Maana, looked at the thing that had suddenly appeared above her head and felt bewildered...

"What's going on? Has something unexpected happened again?!" Ishtar shouted impatiently.

"Detection equipment... has detected a severe gravity anomaly!! A severe gravity collapse zone is forming above your heads!!"

On the other side of Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci's report seemed to be affected by something, coming in fragmented sentences... but from the astonished tone in da Vinci's voice, it was clear that the problem was extremely serious...

"What on earth happened, Da Vinci-chan!" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, her brows furrowed.

The plan had reached its most crucial moment, so why did something go wrong at this critical juncture?!

"The spacetime continuity of the Seventh Singularity is being disrupted! The immense pressure of gravity is causing the space above you to collapse... forming a constant spacetime fault, which means..."

"A 'door' from beyond this world will be opened above your heads!!"

The moment Leonardo da Vinci finished speaking, a pair of black and red steel hands suddenly reached out from outside the dark "door"!

Grasp both sides of the crack, and it's like prying open a door, slowly tearing open a passage!

And from that emerged—

It's a giant black and red robot!

The jet-black, shimmering metallic structure forms the complete structural shape.

The base color is predominantly black and red, and the exterior is covered with pure, heavy metal armor.

It has a pair of black and red metallic wings on its back, but they don't look like bird wings. Instead, they look like two pairs of blades bound together.

Its massive size, nearly a thousand meters long, was enough to instill a sense of awe in anyone with megalophobia by merely peeking out half its head from the rift. And this colossal creature, slowly invading this world, was using its own power to maintain the gravity that was tearing apart a piece of spacetime stability.

Even Tiamat seemed to feel intense fear and unease from the enormous robot, and without hesitation, a dazzling blood-red light burst forth from the Mother Goddess's eyes.

bake!

A magical cannonball, powerful enough to slice through a city in an instant, slammed into the colossal machine...

However, the Mother Goddess's attacks could not even get close before being bent and completely disintegrated by the chaotic and violent gravity around her!

And that colossal metal giant had already torn open the crack in the door and descended into this space-time!

"Your hospitality is so warm!"

A slightly cheerful voice rang in everyone's minds almost instantly.

Undoubtedly, the source of the sound was that enormous creature...

No one questioned what it was, because all the Servants and people, including Fujimaru Ritsuka, felt a chilling fear emanating from that enormous machine!

It was as if they were facing a natural enemy, as if they were facing something that made their very genes tremble with fear!

"Asteroid Vanguard... Could it be an Asteroid Vanguard?"

Ishtar murmured, her face deathly pale, overwhelmed by a fear so familiar…

The source of fear, ingrained in the genes of the gods, lies solely in the white colossus that destroyed the Age of Gods.

"Although I don't know what you're talking about..." The colossal metal giant tilted its head in a surprisingly human-like manner, slowly turning to look at Tiamat below...

"In short, before actually carrying out colonial activities, let's get rid of the unfriendly local natives first."

The giant opened his arms, and two condensed "darknesses" that devoured all light and caused extreme unease converged in his palms, forming a massive black bow.

He aimed at Tiamat on the ground and slowly pulled back the non-existent bowstring... and on the bowstring, a dark arrow that also devoured all light appeared!

It wasn't a condensation of magic, nor was it something made with power or concepts!

"It was a pure supergravity zone, like...like a weapon formed from the solidified substance of a black hole."

Da Vinci's voice was filled with undisguised terror... He achieved the effect of celestial bodies without any power, special skills, or trickery—which is precisely why it is so terrifying!

That means the enemy will be incredibly powerful, with no weaknesses whatsoever. The things they use are incomprehensible and impossible to counter, and their destructive power is terrifying—

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

It was as if I sensed extreme danger emanating from that pitch-black arrow...

Tiamat's enormous body, the body of the Fate Maiden, was instantly covered in countless black mud, and she activated her self-modification: EX form to create a shell that could withstand this attack!

Tiamat's body continued to transform and writhe, seemingly beyond the comprehension of even Mother of Life...
