The Beast of Humanity—Tiamat—
Has descended!
Though known as the "Beast of Humanity," her appearance was not terrifying in the slightest. On the contrary, she was stunningly beautiful—almost impossibly so.
Her purple-red eyes bore cross-shaped pupils, filled with a gentleness so deep it felt like a loving mother gazing warmly at her child.
Her long, ocean-blue hair flowed freely behind her, carrying the vastness and tolerance of the sea—like a heart as immense as the ocean.
Huge draconic horns curved outward from both sides of her head.
Her arms and legs were covered in deep blue scales.
And yet—
The majority of her body was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see clearly, which only added to her ethereal beauty.
Around her slightly visible abdomen were faint, butterfly-shaped markings spreading to each side—symbolizing the miracle of life's creation.
As soon as she appeared, countless viewers erupted in chaos—
4thWarPTSD-[Holy crap, Tiamat is so beautiful! Guys, what do I do—I'm ready to defect!]
PostNutRealityMarble-[Take him out and shoot him—Wait, I'm defecting too, guess we're good!]
BobUchiha-[As expected of the Primeval Mother Goddess, she radiates maternal charm—I just want to go home to Tiamama!]
Blorbo-[Even if I can't understand what she's saying, her voice is beautiful—is she calling me to come eat dinner?]
BobUchiha-[Back off! Tiamat is mine! My eyes already envisioned our future together!]
FateShit-[The future that don't exist? Just like that fake eyes of yours?]
The onlookers were in a frenzy, more amused than alarmed.
However—
Among the heroic spirits watching from the grand hall, not a single one was laughing. Each wore a grim expression.
Jalter frowned deeply.
"That's the Primeval Goddess of Creation from Sumerian mythology… Even a group of main deities had to join forces to fight her. How did Nameless and the King of Heroes even defeat her?"
In Sumerian myth—
She was the Mother Goddess of Creation. But her divine children betrayed her, desiring dominion over the world.
At first, Tiamat tolerated their arrogance and recklessness. But the gods grew more and more insolent, even seeking to kill her.
Enraged, Tiamat created eleven terrifying beasts to battle the gods.
In the end, however, even she was defeated by the gods.
Her body was split in two—becoming the heavens and the earth. Her immortal soul was banished to the Imaginary Number Space—a realm devoid of all life.
She became the abandoned womb after creation was complete.
Now, the gods had already been severed from the mortal realm—cut off by Nameless and Gilgamesh. And the collapse of human history caused by the Demon King, combined with the power of the Holy Grail, allowed her return.
She came back with the wrath of one slain by her own children, exiled from existence.
She had returned to destroy the world.
Previously, Merlin had tried to keep her asleep with illusions.
However—
After Gorgon was defeated, Tiamat was fully awakened.
The so-called invincible "Child of Nightmares" within dreams was instantly wiped out by her, erased without a trace.
Even a candidate for Grand Caster couldn't stand against her at all!
"She's unstoppable! It's terrifying!" Mordred clicked her tongue in disbelief.
Forget this terrifying Evil of Humanity, Tiamat.
Back then, even defeating the lingering mystery of the Subterranean King Vortigern required Nameless and Father to team up.
Compared to the being before them, that white dragon wasn't even worthy of polishing her shoes!
Tiamat could probably crush him with a single finger.
Komei frowned just as deeply. "With all the weapons we've developed, not a single one can harm her!"
Might makes right. Truth only exists within cannon range.
And yet—
Against this monstrous entity, even the weapons Komei had helped develop—blending modern science with magecraft—were utterly useless.
She was a being so powerful she brought despair to even Heroic Spirits.
To harm her would require divine intervention—
Or weapons of absurd power, like the Sword of Rupture.
As everyone braced themselves—
On the screen—
The terrifying Evil of Humanity, Tiamat, did not attack. She simply moved slowly toward the shore.
From the black mud, countless strange creatures crawled out, swarming the land and launching an assault on humanity.
These creatures had sharp, spindly limbs and massive heads, with gaping mouths full of jagged teeth—like monsters from a sci-fi horror movie.
Their speed was astonishing, and their strength overwhelmingly crushed any human resistance. These were the New Humans—creations of the Evil of Humanity.
Even more terrifying—
Dr. Roman exclaimed in horror,
"Their individual magical energy surpasses that of Ugallu! And their numbers—exceed... over one hundred million! And they're still rising at an insane rate!"
Each one was powerful, and there were more than a hundred million of them.
It was a terrifying disaster beyond despair.
The monstrous army swept across the land, slaughtering humanity with ease.
No one could stop them!
Even trained soldiers were instantly devoured by the monstrous tide.
This scene alone was enough to make anyone shudder in fear—
AlphaSigma-[Damn, this is literally a Zerg swarm!]
YeetTheInfidel-[Right? The black mud's the creep, Tiamat's the Zerg Queen, and she's mass-producing units like crazy!]
AlmightyMiddleFinger-[Fighting one or two? Fine. Fighting a hundred million? Screw this, let's just surrender!]
ICastFart-[So this is what Evil of Humanity truly means—to annihilate humanity!]
...
"Evil of Humanity is just too terrifying..."
Kirina watched with a lingering sense of fear.
Even if Tiamat didn't make a move herself, the sheer number of these New Humans alone would be enough to wipe out all of humanity.
If Tiamat was already this terrifying, then what of the Demon King Goetia, who planned to burn the history of mankind and use it as fuel to return to 4.6 billion years ago?
How monstrous must he be?
"Terrifying, huh…"
Sanjiro let out a soft sigh.
Despite how overwhelmingly fearsome Tiamat's entrance was—
The truth was that Tiamat had not even unleashed her full power.
Self-Sealing.
This was a restriction Tiamat placed upon herself.
She had been forsaken by both the gods and humanity, fallen from the Mother of Creation into the Beast II—the Evil of Humanity.
Yet—
She still considered herself a mother who wished to protect humanity.
That was why she sealed away the vast majority of her own power.
Ordinarily, she suppressed 50% of her strength. But when she decided to step ashore to destroy the world, she would raise it to 90% of her full health, attack, and defense.
This wasn't just "holding back."
It was unleashing a sea of restraint.
But—
The Evil of Humanity was still the Evil of Humanity. Even after holding back to such an extreme degree, it still required the combined efforts of multiple gods to fight her.
In the footage—
Following Tiamat's appearance—
Countless New Humans launched a frenzied assault on all of Uruk.
Inside the palace—
Panicked soldiers reported,
"My king! We don't have enough manpower to guide everyone to safety—too many civilians have already been slaughtered!"
Endless waves of monsters surged forward, outnumbering the humans many times over. There was no way to stop them.
Just as Gilgamesh was about to respond, the High Priestess stepped forward.
"My king, allow me to lead the people to safety," Siduri volunteered in this moment of crisis.
However—
Gilgamesh suddenly roared in anger, "You are not allowed to go! Siduri! How many people can you save alone?!"
"…"
Siduri paused, stunned.
At that moment, she vaguely understood the reason behind his fury.
But as High Priestess, she couldn't simply watch ordinary people suffer.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled gently and looked at him. "My king, even saving one person is worth it. Every life deserves to be saved."
"…Is that so… Then... go."
The voice of Gilgamesh, usually so commanding, now faltered slightly.
He turned his head away, refusing to meet her eyes.
"Forgive me…"
Siduri gave a small bow. As she turned to leave, she paused for a moment.
Her smile grew even softer, and her lips moved—saying a silent sentence before she walked away with determination.
This silent lip movement was translated by Alaya—
[My king, if there is a next life, I hope I can still be your High Priestess…]
This single translation sent a shockwave through all viewers—
HistorianWithWifi-[The King of Heroes has clairvoyance—he must've seen her death in the future and tried to stop her.]
SergeantSaunders-[Damn it! Why didn't he force her to stay?!]
FuyukiGasLeak-[I get it now... Maybe the King of Heroes knew they'd both die, and that's why he didn't stop her—so they could be together in the afterlife?]
DaoistYoungMaster-[Seeing the future but being unable to change it… that's the real tragedy.]
...
In the hall—
The gathered Heroic Spirits all turned to look at the quiet Gilgamesh with complicated expressions.
Mordred couldn't hold it in. "King of Heroes, did you… let her go even though you knew she would die?"
"Mordred, don't ask. You'll understand soon," Gawain coughed lightly.
Watching Gilgamesh in the video, they saw the shadow of King Arthur.
Both of them—choosing to carry all burdens in silence.
Gilgamesh said nothing in response.
He had seen the future—but only fragments. He couldn't change what was coming.
That pain—was something no ordinary person could bear.
He had wanted to stop her.
But—
One look into her eyes, after years of companionship, was all it took for him to know her determination.
That High Priestess, even knowing she would die, still chose to save others.
Just like that damned friend of his—Sanjiro—just as unbearably noble.
In the video—
The King of Heroes faced his soldiers and shouted,
"The end is near. We have... maybe two days left! Everyone, you don't have to perish with Uruk. If you can flee to Nippur, you might survive! If you wish to live—go to the northern wall. If you wish to fight—stay here. Before dusk, go say your goodbyes to your family and friends!"
He held nothing back.
Even the king who once seemed invincible in their eyes now plainly declared that doom was inevitable.
The soldiers fell silent for a moment—then quietly began to depart.
Just then—
Nameless, having returned from defeating Gorgon, angrily shouted,
"You knew Siduri might die—why didn't you stop her?! If Uruk falls, human history will take a devastating blow! Right now, we should be focusing on how to deal with the countless Lahmu!"
Gilgamesh, unusually calm, addressed everyone, giving a casual command: "Gudao—Chaldea's Master. Go investigate the coastline yourselves."
"You're hopeless! You'll regret this one day!" Nameless grew even more furious.
"Fool! You think I didn't want to stop her?! Do you know what kind of enemy we're facing?!"
Gilgamesh roared back with equal fury.
She was the Primeval Mother Goddess, Tiamat!
So powerful that even his clairvoyance could not glimpse a shred of hope. It was because of that utter despair that he didn't stop Siduri—because he would follow after her.
"Precisely because I know, I'm working to unite the Three Goddess Alliance—doing everything I can to fight back! I'm going to save her!" Nameless stared him down, completely unafraid.
"You really are..."
Gilgamesh waved his hand. "Fine. You're outsiders anyway. Go save the captured civilians yourselves."
That scene—
Made the expressions of many Heroic Spirits in the hall grow increasingly strange.
Mordred couldn't help muttering under her breath, "Stupid tsundere..."
Though she said it quietly, everyone in the hall heard her loud and clear.
It was infuriating!
He could have saved Siduri—but chose to watch her walk to her death.
He said he didn't care—but still allowed Nameless and the others to try saving her.
So why didn't he stop her from the start?
It made no sense to her!
Shikotei, however, calmly asked, "Do you regret it?"
It was, perhaps, a moment of weakness for the King of Heroes.
"I—never regret anything!"
Gilgamesh lifted his head proudly in reply.
As king, he must bear everything. He would never regret his decisions. Even if he regretted it so much his intestines twisted with pain—he'd suffer in silence.
Saying it aloud would be far too disgraceful!
Yet, a trace of regret flickered in Gilgamesh's crimson eyes.
He shouldn't have let her leave that day...
The video continued.
Sanjiro and Mash set off to another city—the place where Siduri had come from.
However—
The city was already empty.
Not a single trace of humanity remained.
A swarm of terrifying and grotesque monsters rampaged about, launching attacks on the group.
Mash suddenly tilted her head in confusion. "Eh? Senpai, this monster is strange! It noticed us—but why isn't it attacking?"
"Just one Lahmu? Then we can fight it. Take it out before it calls for reinforcements," suggested Dr. Romani, calm and collected as the group's commander.
"But it's really strange! It didn't attack us. It just turned and ran!" Mash grew even more puzzled.
At that moment, she noticed that Nameless was slightly trembling. "Senpai, what's wrong?" she asked in concern.
"It's nothing. Forget it. Let's go help the others," Nameless shook his head, his expression filled with sorrow.
The scene changed.
They were suddenly blocked by a whole pack of Lahmu.
Standing in front of them was Kingu, who had previously departed.
"You creatures are worse than magical beasts—mindless beasts obsessed with slaughter! How could Mother create monsters like you?" Kingu scowled in disgust at the monsters.
Then she looked at the group. "These things are just defective products. Even if they're trash, they're still my siblings. All of you, back off."
"Kingu, you're calling these monsters your siblings?" Mash asked, pity in her eyes.
Kingu sighed. "Yeah, I'm the only true new human. These were mass-produced based on me—it's only natural they'd be inferior."
"But you're not even Tiamat's child. You were made using Enkidu's corpse!" Nameless coldly revealed the truth.
But it was meaningless.
Kingu exhaled softly. "A boring answer. I am still Mother's child! We'll lead the Lahmu army to slaughter you old humans. We are the future!"
Behind her, the monstrous Lahmu stood tall, making her look like a would-be king of the world.
Then—sudden betrayal!
One Lahmu abruptly pierced her chest, forcibly ripping the Solomon Grail from her.
Kingu looked shocked. "Why…?"
"Because… your face… is hilarious! Killing… humans… is so… much fun!" the Lahmu laughed in a shrill voice.
The other monsters all burst into crazed laughter.
"You bastards!" Kingu looked at the gaping hole in her chest, unable to believe it.
The Lahmu sneered, "Ha! Kingu, you still don't get it. You're the real trash of the old era. You're useless now!"
"Pathetic! Ridiculous! Hilarious! Absurd!"
The swarm of Lahmu cackled madly, their laughter sharp and grating.
The once-powerful villain Kingu had now become a complete joke.
Everyone watching was stunned—
BoobVenerate-[WTF! Don't tell me even Kingu, the only legit villain, isn't really a villain?!]
AlphaSigma-[This is insane! Not one of the Three Goddess Alliance was actually a villain—and now Kingu too?!]
HolySimp999-[So tragic! Kingu worked harder than the Beast Goddess and still got her heart ripped out!]
EverydayNerd-[That's what happens when you're just a tool!]
...
"Even Kingu's not a villain?" Kirina looked even more confused.
After all, Kingu had been trying to kill Nameless and the others from the start.
She even went out of her way to awaken Tiamat.
And now, it turns out she wasn't a villain?
"Betrayers are always betrayed in turn," Sanjiro said calmly.
Violence and slaughter can never bring about true rule.
Especially not when Lahmu themselves are like monstrous children run amok.
Their concept is fascinating.
Children might trap bugs and watch them fight, or use magnifying glasses to burn ants in the sun. They'll rip a dragonfly's wings off, do all sorts of cruel things with innocent curiosity.
Lahmu are what happens when such behavior is unrestrained—pure, chaotic, destructive brats.
In fact, if Kirina herself ever lost all restraint, she'd become just like them: a brat who wants to destroy the world and humanity.
On-screen—
Kingu, stunned and frightened, cried out,
"They're just mass-produced copies… I'm the strongest weapon of the new era… Mother… why can't I hear your voice anymore…?"
It was no use.
More and more Lahmu swarmed her, trying to tear her to shreds.
Kingu had no choice but to flee in a daze.
Nameless silently watched her run, making no move to pursue.
It was simple.
Kingu still harbored a sliver of hope that Lahmu and Tiamat could return to what they once were.
But she had already been abandoned long ago.
Suddenly, the Lahmu who stole the Solomon Grail cackled, "Come on, I am the true leader now. Transform!!!"
Buzz—
The massive magical energy from the Grail surged.
His aura exploded. Wings sprouted from his back. His body grew larger, more monstrous.
"NO TRANSFORMING!" Nameless shouted, slashing with his weapon mid-transformation.
Crack!
The monster's wing—half-grown—was sliced clean off.
But it didn't end there.
Right after, the monster sprouted three more wings!
"Useless! Useless! Useless!" it shrieked, flying into the sky.
Nameless summoned his bow and the familiar spiral-shaped Noble Phantasm, drawing it toward the monster.
BOOM!
A dazzling mushroom cloud erupted in the sky, blowing the creature apart.
Golden sparks burst forth, but a shadow dashed out—snatching the Holy Grail with ease.
===
Seeing this—
Ushiwakamaru, watching the video, looked dumbfounded. "Eh?! Why is that me?!"
As a cherry blossom heroic spirit, she had already been manifested.
She'd just been bragging to Oda Nobunaga about her past glory, only to be immediately slapped with reality.
"Have you betrayed us too?" Oda Nobunaga asked sharply, instantly drawing her weapon and stepping back.
Ever since her betrayal and death at Honnō-ji, she harbored deep hatred toward traitors.
"No, no, that's not me!" Ushiwakamaru cried, close to tears.
Back during the fight against Gorgon—
She had boldly declared:
"As long as a child a thousand years from now still admires me, Ushiwakamaru, I will fight with all my strength!"
That line had earned her countless fans.
The live comments were filled with admiration and love for her.
But now, she had attacked Chaldea's team and stolen the Holy Grail!
The chat exploded with outrage.
===
In the video—
A pitch-black Ushiwakamaru roared with fury:
"Those who forgot the battlefield! Those who ran away from it! Those who abandoned me! Die, all of you! I'll wipe out humanity!"
"It's… it's Ushiwakamaru?! Why her?!" Mash was horrified.
She couldn't bring herself to fight someone who had once been a comrade.
Fortunately—
Nameless clarified in the video: "That's a combat weapon engineered from Ushiwakamaru's corpse by the Temple of Blood. It's not the real her."
This finally cleared Ushiwakamaru's name.
===
"Oh, not you? That's fine then,"
Oda Nobunaga sat back down and sheathed her weapon.
Beside her, Okita Souji coughed lightly and also re-sheathed her sword, calmly wiping the corner of her mouth.
The trio returned to their peaceful camaraderie.
"…"
Ushiwakamaru was speechless.
Good grief. These two were really ready to kill her just now!
===
The battle on-screen exploded into action.
Dr. Romani shouted, "The blackened Ushiwakamaru has fused with the Divine Core of Darkness behind her! Even if we vaporize her in an instant, we still can't kill her!"
"Heh… I'll kill every last one of you! To vaporize the whole sea, you'd need a Noble Phantasm that gathers all the mana of this era!" She pointed to the glowing band of light in the sky. "In other words, only the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven could do it!"
"Sorry—I'm in a hurry."
Nameless frowned slightly.
Buzz—
A massive magic circle flared beneath his feet. Majestic flames erupted, swallowing both him and her instantly.
It was his Reality Marble—
Unlimited Blade Works.
If he couldn't vaporize the ocean—
He would isolate her inside this near-magical world.
As long as she couldn't break through the Reality Marble, she would die!
A godlike enemy like Gorgon would have torn through it in an instant.
Unless Nameless sacrificed himself and summoned countless versions of himself across timelines to resist her.
But the blackened Ushiwakamaru? She didn't stand a chance.
Behind Nameless, countless weapons soared into the air like a dense storm.
The sheer number was beyond imagination.
Ushiwakamaru's figure flashed like lightning, splitting into dozens of afterimages in an attempt to counter them.
However—
The overwhelming barrage of Noble Phantasms, even more terrifying than the golden king's Gate of Babylon, instantly turned her into a pincushion.
...
"She lasted only ten seconds???"
Ushiwakamaru stared blankly.
She knew she wasn't as strong as Nameless, but this kind of gap? No way!
Even her blackened version deserved a little respect, right?
Seriously, what was he in such a rush for?!
In the video—
The Reality Marble vanished.
Blackened Ushiwakamaru's core had been thoroughly obliterated, but her face still wore a twisted smile.
"It's useless! Destruction is inevitable! I already fed Tiamat the Holy Grail—you're all doomed!"
In the distance, the colossal Tiamat's body began glowing with radiant golden light. The Holy Grail had long been secretly handed off to a Lahmu and delivered to Tiamat!
Nothing could stop it now.
With the Grail in her possession, Tiamat would soon begin her unstoppable march to wipe out humanity.
"Let's consult with the King of Heroes—prepare for the final battle," Nameless said with a wave.
All the earlier goddess conquests had been for this very moment.
But before that, he had one last thing to do…
Scene change.
The mortally wounded Kingu, heart ripped out, was staggering through ruins, trying to escape.
But the Lahmu relentlessly closed in from all sides, eager to tear her apart.
Strangely—
One Lahmu suddenly turned on the others, slaughtering them all!
"They're fighting each other?!" Kingu was utterly baffled.
Then—
That strange Lahmu, mortally wounded, fell to its knees.
"Why… why did you save me?" Kinqu asked in disbelief.
"Quick… run… Enkidu…"
The Lahmu spoke with great effort.
"You… you're that high priestess from yesterday?! Why would you save me?!"
Kingu stared, stunned.
She had ordered this girl captured and transformed into a monster. She should want revenge.
But the Lahmu smiled faintly. "Please… live… find happiness… Enkidu, beloved friend of the King…
You and Nameless… gave everything to the King… made him the wise ruler in everyone's hearts… Your death brought sadness to all… to me too…
So… be happy… Enkidu… beautiful green one…
It's so wonderful… to be able to say thank you… Thank you… thank you…"
Despite her monstrous form, her tone was utterly human—gentle, kind, full of gratitude.
Those words—
Suddenly brought tears to Kingu's eyes.
"What's happening to me? I don't even know you… So why do I remember your face? Why do I know your name is Siduri?! Why… why are you thanking me?! I don't deserve it!"
Tears burst forth uncontrollably.
The divine weapon with no heart—
Now cried like a child.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Her sobs echoed through the battlefield.
At the same time—
Countless viewers also broke down in tears—
Blorbo-[Damn it, Alaya you bastard! You're stabbing us in the heart again!]
AlmightyMiddleFinger-[You monster, Alaya! You made gentle Siduri kill, and now you make us watch her die!]
SergeantSaunders-[I can't hold it anymore, I'm a 6' tall grown man and I'm sobbing like a baby!]
Even though the earlier palace conversation had mentally prepared everyone…
When this moment came—
It still tore them apart.
That gentle and kind high priestess—even as a monster—still chose to save others.
Even a divine war machine like Kingu was moved to tears.
More Lahmu closed in.
Forcing the devastated Kingu to stumble away and flee.
Silence returned to the land.
Only that strange Lahmu lay quietly on the ground.
Then—
Two new figures appeared without a sound.
It was Nameless and Ereshkigal.
Nameless sighed softly. "Please… I'll need you to consume some divine power to extract and preserve her soul."
"Tch. Always asking favors from me… and you still haven't come to visit me in the underworld…" Ereshkigal muttered, her cheeks flushing pink. "Tch! This is the last time!"
Just like she'd previously preserved the remnants of Enkidu's soul—
She now sacrificed a part of her divine core to gather Siduri's scattered soul fragments.
"Thank you… truly, thank you, Ereshkigal."
Nameless gave her a rare, sincere thanks.
Once he realized Siduri would inevitably be turned into a Lahmu—
He had come up with one last-ditch plan.
Have Ereshkigal preserve her soul, and with time, slowly restore it.
So that one day, she could meet again with the now-immortal King of Heroes, reborn as a Heroic Spirit.
A surprise he had quietly prepared for his best friend.
The viewers erupted in celebration—
Blorbo-[LET'S GOOOO! Nameless you legend!]
4thWarPTSD-[Nameless MVP! And Ereshkigal is so cute and kind! Love them both!]
SergeantSaunders-[All those tears earlier… were just to set us up for this emotional payoff! Siduri lives!!!]
...
Back in the viewing hall—
Mordred and the others finally sighed in relief.
Siduri didn't have the qualifications to become a full Heroic Spirit.
But—
Thanks to Nameless preserving her soul, she was now quasi-Heroic Spirit level.
And with the Elixir of Immortality still in Gilgamesh's hands—
She could live on forever!
"Tch. Nameless, you tsundere bastard," Mordred muttered.
He'd been constantly bickering with Gilgamesh earlier—yet still went out of his way to protect Siduri.
The two of them really were the best of bros.
Gilgamesh sat in silence for a long time.
That idiotic best friend had really pulled it off.
What once had been his deepest regret—
Had now been quietly remedied.
He now owed Sanjiro an even greater favor.
How was he ever going to repay this?
In the video—
The camera returned to Tiamat.
The invincible Beast of Humanity once again opened her mouth.
Observing from the control room, Dr. Romani shouted in alarm: "Not good! Tiamat's mana is spiking—she's preparing to fire an attack! This magic is even stronger than the most powerful hydrogen bomb! It'll obliterate Uruk in one shot! Master, you must stop her at all costs!"
Crisis loomed.
Nameless, riding atop a flying dragon, didn't hesitate: "Time to move, goddess!"
Even if they couldn't kill Tiamat—
They had to stop her from nuking Uruk.
"You really want me to attack the Mother of Creation?" Ishtar hesitated slightly.
Because Tiamat was—
Her mom.
Going toe-to-toe with your own mother? Total suicide.
"Stop whining. You think I gave you all those gemstones for fun?" Nameless rolled his eyes.
A goddess who lost the Bull of Heaven wasn't even worth one percent of his stockpile.
"Then hurry up and recharge me!" Ishtar huffed.
All the earlier battles had drained her mana.
"…Fine."
Nameless nodded—though his mind wandered for a second in the wrong direction.
However, now was the critical moment.
He raised his hand, revealing the Command Spell on his wrist: "By my command, unleash your full power, Ishtar!"
Buzz~
A massive and overwhelming surge of magical energy poured into the goddess.
Ishtar couldn't help but let out an embarrassing moan, then quickly flew into the sky.
"I'm invincible right now!"
Ishtar waved her hand.
Above her head, the sky suddenly tore open, revealing an unimaginably vast portal.
It was as if the entire sky had split apart.
"Gate Open!"
With Ishtar's command—
From that enormous rift, a similarly gigantic object emerged—
A planet.
Yes, a full-on planet!
The scene stunned countless viewers—
BabySlaneesh-[WTF! So this is the origin of the Venus goddess? Can she actually throw planets at people?]
CommandSealDaddy-[No way! That's impossible! It must be a massively shrunken version!]
ICastFart-[Still terrifying as hell! And yet, previously Nameless and Gilgamesh were mocking her?!]
…
Under everyone's stunned gaze—
Ishtar's golden eyes gleamed. She casually tossed a tiny arrow toward the planet.
"Hehe, you should be honored! Behold my full strength!"
The massive Venus slowly descended, radiating immense pressure.
Bit by bit, it emerged from the gate, condensing into a dazzling golden sphere.
Then—
Ishtar's bow fully drew. As she aimed at the primeval goddess, she shouted:
"Annihilate them!"
[An Gal Ta Ki Gal Šè: Kindling of Venus that Shook the Mountains]
This was the terrifying power of inserting the planetary concept of Venus into Maanna's launcher—a power capable of destroying anything.
Boom!
A blinding column of destruction smashed into Tiamat.
Under the strike, she was forcibly blasted into the deep ocean.
Dr. Roman checked the data:
"Confirmed! The spirit origin in the ocean has collapsed! You did it! Once the sea stabilizes, retrieve the Holy Grail and return home!"
"No. It's not over! That was just Tiamat's first form. Now, her second form begins!" Nameless responded grimly.
Buzz~
The next moment, an even larger being rose from the ocean.
The part of Tiamat just destroyed… was insignificant.
It could even be considered merely—
A single ahoge!
Dr. Roman shouted in shock,
"This is practically a mobile biological factory, with enough magical energy to perform interstellar travel! It's like a divine ark that would take humanity centuries to build!"
The true form of the primeval mother goddess was fully revealed.
Everyone was stunned—
YeetTheInfidel-[She's massive! And she can fly between stars?!]
EXRankDegenerate-[Forget it. We're still terrestrial creatures, and she's in the space age! What's even the point of fighting?!]
GigglesThenShit-[Even a Venus-level bombardment couldn't defeat her. How the hell do we win this?]
…
"She survived that?!"
Rin was stunned.
That was throwing a star!
She had thought this would be the most spectacular moment of her past life—a scene to redeem her previous embarrassment and win endless admiration.
But it turned out to merely unlock Tiamat's second form!
Wait—those layers of chains on Tiamat… could they have been self-imposed?
That thought made Rin even more despairing.
Tiamat had sealed herself layer upon layer… and they still couldn't defeat her.
How can humans possibly overcome such a god?
The Beast Goddess had once said Nameless was the last human.
Could it be… that their world was already doomed?
In the video, the black mud surged wildly, rushing toward Uruk like a tsunami.
Uruk's soldiers stood in despair: "My king, we can't stop it! It's unstoppable!"
"It doesn't matter! Raise the anchor! Activate the Teeth of Nabistin!"
Gilgamesh gave the order.
The soldiers got to work immediately.
Using echoes to pass signals, they activated devices from all directions.
The Teeth of Nabistin fully deployed!
Rumble—
On the distant plains outside Uruk, massive teeth-like structures shot up from the ground, interlocking to block the tidal wave of black mud.
The people cheered.
Then—
Under countless gazes, Gilgamesh turned to address the soldiers:
"From the start, I said that Uruk would fall. But even knowing this, you chose to stay and fight! Uruk is a city of happiness. Its people and king need no protection from gods! To prove that, we chose to defy the divine! You all chose to remain!"
The people nodded.
They had stayed because they loved Uruk that deeply.
"Now, the final trial has arrived in its most extreme form. This is our moment—to cast off the gods and begin a new era for humanity!"
Placing his right hand on his chest, Gilgamesh raised his voice:
"Everyone, this is our final battle against the divine! Offer your lives to your king! Even if only one life remains, let it carry the glory of Uruk to future generations!"
The king's stirring speech sparked roaring cheers.
This was their king.
A perfect wise king.
One who had led Uruk to prosperity and happiness.
So countless people chose to remain and fight with him—to live or die together!
At this moment—
Nameless appeared beside King Gil.
He clenched his fist and placed it over his heart.
Then declared loudly to all:
"We may never see the day of victory, but if humanity endures for ten thousand generations, people will weep before our graves! This city—Uruk—will be our eternal monument!
Uruk lives on!!"
As he finished—
The countless people below followed in unison, shouting:
"Uruk lives on!!"
"Uruk lives on!!"
"Uruk lives on!!"
…
Their voices rolled like thunder, sweeping away despair and fear.
Thus began humanity's final battle of farewell against the gods.
