Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"No, it's you who should go back." Tiamat let go of Xi Jian. She burst into tears but smiled. "It's so nice to see you, to hug you, and to talk to you."

"Mother……"

As Tiamat spoke, Shiomi felt her body slowly floating up and out of Tiamat's arms.

That was his mother releasing him from the sea of ​​spirit and returning him to himself as a human being.

"Continue your journey, and don't be afraid no matter what you encounter. You are the most like me, my outstanding child. Your mother wants to witness your future and stay with you forever. We will never be apart again."

Listening to the farewell words, Shiomi suddenly understood.

"……Um."

He nodded deeply.

Accepting the love of his mother, he became the twelfth child who was not born of Tiamat and did not exist in the myth.

Perhaps this was the fate of touching that power, at least Shiomi believed so.

Then, he suddenly came to his senses.

He saw that he was uncontrollably moving away from his mother's dragon body spirit. The originally restless god Tiamat gradually calmed down, slowly closed his eyes, and sank into the shadow of the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers.

Ereshkigal caught Shiomi from behind. She found that Tiamat's spirit was leaving and going to the sea of ​​imaginary numbers where there was no life. She couldn't help but ask:

"What happened, mother...what happened?"

Shiomi just looked at the gradually approaching golden light, stretched out his hand to catch the Holy Grail of the Magic King, and smiled faintly:

"Nothing, it's just my mother's choice."

The Ending (1)

After returning to the ground, Xijian noticed that the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, the long night was coming to an end, and the sky was slightly brighter.

He originally thought that the "conversation" with Tiamat did not take much time, but now it seemed to be taking longer than expected.

Even though a big hole was opened by Altria's holy spear, the city of Uruk showed no signs of sinking, and even the entrance to the underworld no longer existed.

Just like what happened when we first went to Kusa City.

The "Tide of Chaos" that covered the city has also receded, and the city is still deserted, but as long as the Uruks who took refuge at the northern walls return, the city will revive.

After the singularity is repaired, human calculations will redirect history back to the direction of its original decline, but at least this generation of Mesopotamians will be able to maintain relative prosperity for another fifty years.

It was a good result after all. Shiomi smiled in her heart.

He raised his head, looked in the direction of the divine tower that was damaged in the battle with Tiamat, and took a slow step forward.

Morgan, Scathach, Altria, and the Chaldean companions were all running towards him.

When he returned from the underworld and restored Shiomi's signal recognition in Chaldea, Romani conveyed this matter to the others who had been waiting on the ground for seven or eight hours.

The first one to be carried up was the master, and Morgan, who had no idea that he was overtaken, could only show an unhappy yet helpless expression, as if he would just let it go this time.

"What happened in the underworld in the end?" asked Altria.

No one could see the situation in the underworld. Ereshkigal, who was in the underworld, could only see that the tide of chaos enveloped Shiomi and Tiamat, making her unable to detect Shiomi's existence.

"Mother recalled her own identity. Rather than venting her anger and sorrow, she chose the joy of regaining her identity as the Mother of Creation... She chose the 'love' that she had never lost." Shiomi stroked her master's hair, raised her head from her ear and looked at the others, "So mother gave up what she was going to do and took the initiative to return to the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers."

He gently let go of his master and spread out his palms.

Golden magic crystals emerged.

The Magic King's Holy Grail.

As Tiamat left, she gave this item to Shiomi.

In other words, she gave it to her most beloved child now.

"In other words, this is a farewell gift from the mother to her child?" Scathach guessed the general situation from Shiomi's wording.

Shiomi smiled with a sense of shame: "Even though it's just a name, it's not impossible to call myself the 'Twelfth Child of the Goddess Tiamat'."

Having said that, his spirit is actually already connected to Tiamat, and he can actively meet her through dreams in the future.

Morgan, Master, and Altria laughed at what he said, but the others were confused.

After all, Shiomi only said that he had to face Tiamat in person before deciding whether to kill Tiamat, but he didn't say why he had to do that.

"Eh, this is really amazing! I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Quetzalcoatl's voice sounded from behind him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the origin in surprise.

They found Quetzal and Ishtar supporting each other and walking towards the city gate, accompanied by the leopard man.

Xijian was shocked: "Are you still alive?"

“Almost.” Quetzal laughed bitterly, “The divinity has basically burned out. We can only wait for the time to come and retreat from this singularity.”

"Thanks to this guy for catching us, otherwise we would have fallen into the mother's black mud," said Ishtar.

Following this explanation, the Leopard Man raised his thumb and pointed at himself, with an exaggerated expression of smugness on his face.

"Really?" Xijian felt relieved.

It is always a good thing that the number of casualties is reduced in the end.

"But in my opinion, it is better for a woman like you to fall directly into the black mud. After all, your evil nature is such that even the black mud of the goddess Tiamat can only pollute one ten-thousandth of your essence."

Words that sounded relaxed but undisguised disgust came from the rooftop.

Ishtar was suddenly startled: "Enkidu? Not Jingu?"

"Are you so surprised, Goddess Ishtar? Since even you can be summoned, it is naturally more appropriate for me to return to this place to protect the people of Uruk and the future of Mesopotamia." Enkidu's attitude remained kind, but he did not hide his tit-for-tat with Ishtar.

He looked at Gilgamesh at the side and said, "Gil, this goddess is weak in resistance right now, why not kill her here? This will also be good for Uruk in the future."

"Hmph... Although torturing my companions is not in line with my style, my friend has said so, so I have to reconsider it." Gilgamesh said.

Then, golden gates of different natures appeared behind the two friends at the same time, pointing in the direction of Ishtar.

“You two guys…” Ishtar felt a headache coming on.

Shiomi raised her hand: "Do we really have to fight among ourselves here? Or is it time to celebrate since we just finished the battle?"

"I have no intention of offending you, Master of Chaldea," Enkidu said politely, "but there are some things in this world that cannot exist at the same time. Ishtar and Uruk are as contradictory as water and fire."

“……” Xi Jian found it a little difficult to dissuade him.

According to legend, Enkidu's death was caused by Ishtar. Although Enkidu gave a very correct reason, it is not an exaggeration to say that his behavior was revenge.

If you advise others to be magnanimous, God will strike you with lightning.

"Please wait a moment, Enkidu—" Sakura tried to say something for Ishtar.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Enkidu and Gilgamesh, who was joining in the fun, suddenly stopped their attack.

the reason is simple.

Ishtar's body was taken over in an instant.

"Alas... Fortunately it is still useful. You two really have a terrible relationship." Ereshkigal said.

Although she was in the underworld, she learned that Enkidu, as a servant, showed up at the last minute to stop Tiamat's actions, so after confirming that Ishtar was not killed in the battle, she was ready to take over the body again.

"Hahaha! It's so funny that you are so scared that you have to hide behind your sister." Gilgamesh said to Enkidu.

Enkidu nodded in agreement. "Yes, that is true. But since the goddess Ereshkigal is here, I will have to give up my previous idea for the time being."

A subtle fight that was about to happen was finally ended because of Ereshkigal's timely appearance.

"It turns out that the restraints were not untied." Xi Jian asked.

"Because... I wanted to say goodbye to everyone, so I secretly left a back door." Ereshkigal ran over and clapped his hands to celebrate with Sakura, "Is it okay?"

"It's... quite suitable."

Although it was a relaxing occasion, Shiomi felt helpless.

The Ending (2)

"I see. Jill is not a Servant summoned here like me. He is a special case who was led to Uruk for some reason."

Enkidu looked at Kishinami Hakuno with interest and chatted with him.

"But it's really not easy to be able to replace Jill as the Moon King and be recognized by Jill as the Master."

"A lot of things happened." Bai Ye touched his cheek and explained concisely.

"It must be difficult, after all, he is Gil." Enkidu said seriously, "His temper is often unpredictable."

"How dare you say that. My temper is obviously like a sharp blade without any measure." Gilgamesh snorted and laughed, his attitude extremely pleasant.

Enkidu also smiled: "This is a rare opportunity. How about giving up Jill and renewing the contract with me?"

"Oh? How dare you poach me right in front of me? I'm in Uruk now, how about we continue the battle we had in the square that day?"

"That's a good suggestion. It would be better to let the Master see the difference in performance between us before making a decision." Enkidu agreed.

Hakuno narrowed his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly, complaining: "You just want to fight, right... Can you think about Uruk for a moment? Besides, I've already made a contract with Gilgamesh, and I don't plan to make a contract with another Servant. Even if I don't lose to Gilgamesh, it won't work."

"Hmph..." Gilgamesh seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter.

"I see. That's a pity." Enkidu spread his hands, not sure whether he was regretting that he had no reason to fight or that he didn't have the chance to find a Master to experience it.

After all, the singularity was about to be repaired, and there was little time left for such conversation.

I glanced at Shiomi over here and wondered what kind of comedy was this.

Then he connected with Romani in Chaldea.

"Doctor, how long will it take before we can transfer our soul particles back to Chaldea?" asked Shiomi.

"They will start to retreat on their own in about ten minutes. Before that, please say goodbye to the people here." Romani's tone was rare and relaxed.

The final singularity is about to be repaired, which means that this human burning incident has finally reached its final stage.

"That's good."

At this time, a figure ran out from the divine tower, seeming to be holding something in his hand.

It’s Siduri.

"Everyone in Chaldea, please wait a moment."

Although the time to leave had not yet arrived, Siduri was not quite sure and could only hurriedly send a request to stay.

"What's wrong, High Priest Xiduri?" Xijian asked.

Siduri handed over the item in her hand: "King Gilgamesh said that in order to commend Chaldea for its contribution in saving Uruk, he ordered me to personally deliver this item."

Having said that, at this time, there were only Gilgamesh and Siduri in Uruk. The king, who had ended his journey and returned to the throne, had no one else to give orders to for the time being.

"this is……"

After seeing clearly what Siduri handed over, Xi Jian was stunned.

"The big cup of Uruk, the heroic king when he was alive was truly heroic." Morgan teased with Xiomi meaningfully.

Gilgamesh, the servant at the side, said at this time: "The king and Hakuno have also worked hard for Uruk for more than half a year, and there is no expression of gratitude?"

"About this..." Siduri smiled embarrassedly.

"I know. It must be some reason like 'It's my own business anyway, so I'll just pay for it myself.'" Enkidu guessed confidently.

He is indeed the best friend who knows Gilgamesh best, and he hit the nail on the head.

Siduri could only nod.

"But Jill refused to come out and say goodbye to everyone. This must make everyone feel disappointed," said Enkidu.

Gilgamesh said, "When I returned to the throne, I lost the freedom to talk to you. After all, it was your death that made me the King of Men."

"That's right." Enkidu nodded.

Although it's a bit lonely not being able to say goodbye, it's also completely understandable.

"There's something I forgot to tell you. When we were at the sixth singularity, you solved the problem of the Sun King for us in advance. Thank you." Shiomi looked at Kishinami Hakuno and Gilgamesh.

"I just stopped by to see that unusual singularity." Gilgamesh didn't think it necessary to thank him.
