“…Mm.” Anna looked at Shirou with gratitude and nodded.

Although Merlin didn't quite understand what they were saying, he still spoke up.

"Anna, do you need to unleash your suppressed divinity?"

“Yes, I grant permission, Merlin,” Anna said without hesitation.

At that moment, her headband disappeared, and her body was enveloped in purple light.

————Spirit Origin Ascension————

"Her demonic eyes will be countered by my demonic eyes!"

Under Gorgon's horrified gaze, Anna, now regaining her divinity, proclaimed this.

"No...no...don't come any closer...!!!" Gorgon cried out in terror.

"Suffer to death!"

Anna brandished her scythe and charged toward the massive Gorgon.

In fact, when it comes to battles between gods, what matters most is the quality of their strength. Merely having immense power will only make one a target.

Hatred, resentment, terror... all sorts of negative emotions emanated from Gorgon, and from the mouths of the snakes formed from her hair, a torrent of purple energy shot out in all directions.

But Anna deftly leaped and dodged among the flustered Gorgon's limbs, finally rushing along her fair skin towards her neck, and then swung her scythe down sharply!

"No----!!!"

Amidst piercing screams, Gorgon's body gradually dissipated.

At the same time, Anna, who should have disappeared along with them, showed a golden light on her body and was then forcibly preserved.

As long as Shirou doesn't aim to destroy humanity, the Restraint basically lets him do whatever he wants.

The restraining force is, after all, the will of the planet. Unlike humans, it is not cunning and has no emotions or desires. It simply exists for a single goal from beginning to end.

……

After Gorgon was defeated, Kingu also appeared inside the Temple of Blood, but his expression showed no grief for the loss of his mother.

Because Gorgon is not his mother; from the beginning, Kingu had already stated that his mother was Tiamat.

"So, is our battle over?" Gudako looked at Anna who had returned, still unable to understand what it meant that Anna hadn't disappeared with Gorgon.

Book 5, Chapter 39: Tiamat

Merlin, however, stared at Anna with a look of utter astonishment.

"This is……?"

“Shirou helped me,” Anna said.

"I didn't realize that was the case..." Merlin looked at Shirou with some surprise, and finally smiled, "I won't ask how you did it."

“But…that’s wonderful. This way, Anna, you can continue to live in this world and live happily. I’m truly happy for you,” Merlin said to Anna with a smile.

Then, Merlin looked in the direction where Gorgon had disappeared, and his expression became serious.

“Gorgon regained her past divinity through the power of the Holy Grail, but she herself does not possess the Holy Grail, which means… the true holder of the Holy Grail is…”

At the same time, Roman's puzzled voice came through the communicator on Gudako's wrist.

"The Gorgon has been confirmed to be destroyed, but... why does this singularity still exist?"

“Sheba 02, 06, and 09 are damaged!” other staff reported.

Leonardo da Vinci's voice also came through the communicator.

"This is... Romani! This is terrible! It's a spacetime tremor! A spatial rupture is occurring throughout the entire Mesopotamian world!"

"Doctor! Please take a look at this!"

Upon hearing this, Roman immediately looked at the screen, and for a moment, his expression turned to astonishment.

"What's this……!?"

……

Merlin, who was completely bewildered by the current situation, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Ugh...!"

Merlin stared intently at Jingu, who was smiling, and suddenly understood something.

"Oh no, so that's how it is! In this battle of mutual deception, I actually lost by one move...!"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it, you cunning dream demon~” Jingu revealed a pleased smile. “You set up a dream cage for your mother, delaying her awakening time. My only problem is how to wake her up from her sleep. Since she can’t wake up while she’s alive, I’ll just kill her once first.”

Gorgon possesses Tiamat's power "Beast Womb," which is not a copy but synchronized with Tiamat herself.

"You defeated Gorgon, and the Mother, who was in sync with Gorgon, felt the impact of death. She had originally wanted to fulfill Gorgon's wish, but that is now in the past. Now, witness the true nature of our Mother, and see the original sin of humanity! You old humans will be eliminated!"

With this loud announcement, Jin Gu swiftly flew away from the Blood Temple.
