In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

In the blink of an eye, the floor was blasted into a deep crater by this powerful, physically-driven blow, with rocks and blood flying everywhere.

Anna, who had been fighting back, lost her balance and revealed an opening. Gorgon took advantage of this and stretched out his large hand to grab her. In an instant, a dark purple arc of light left its mark in mid-air. Anna's petite body had no way to avoid it and was directly grasped in Gorgon's palm. In just a moment, the outcome was decided.

Anna felt remorseful, but it was too late; Gorgon had already grabbed her and held her up in front of his eyes.

"You lost, Anna."

Gorgon raised his enormous snake eyes and said mockingly.

“Gorgon, I came to find you, not to fight you to the death…”

Anna, her body being squeezed by Gorgon, looked pained as she struggled and spoke.

"Oh? You're not here to kill me? Or are you here to persuade me to protect humanity?"

Gorgon scoffed at Anna's words, a terrifying glint in her eyes. Her gaze, fixed on Anna, was filled with pure killing intent. She lifted Anna up and said angrily, "You traitor who betrayed the past and betrayed your sisters, are you still going to remain stubbornly ignorant? Have you forgotten how your living space was gradually taken away by humans? Have you forgotten why your sisters died?"

"I haven't forgotten!"

Faced with Gorgon's questioning, Anna responded in kind, "I didn't side with humanity, nor did I forgive them; I simply chose myself! Have you forgotten what your sisters said to you, the name Medusa, and their blessings? Did they really want to see you become like this?!"

"——!!!"

Upon hearing this question, Gorgon's eyes widened. She immediately recalled the pity and blessings the other woman had spoken when she ate her sisters.

Even though she went mad and ate them, her sisters did not complain or utter any curses. Instead, they apologized to her with pity, saying that they had caused Medusa to suffer such pain, which was their incompetence as her sisters.

Similarly, it doesn't matter whether it's Medusa, Anna, or even Gorgon; they will all always love her, love this youngest sister.

From beginning to end, the curse that Gorgon placed on humanity, and the curse he placed on himself, all stemmed from the love of his sisters. In this world, love is the most powerful curse. However, due to his obsession with revenge, Gorgon gradually forgot this love. Now, when Anna brings this love up again, the shackles in Gorgon's heart are being touched.

This made her feel even angrier and more pained.

She understood; she finally understood why Anna had come here.

She came to shake herself, to make herself remember her sisters' words, to transform from Gorgon back into Medusa, and to return to that beautiful state.

This is an insult to her.

This is a denial of her revenge.

This is a betrayal of Gorgon's entire life.

The monster named Gorgon could no longer touch those beautiful pasts; the only meaning left for its existence was revenge. But the naive girl of the past told her to give up revenge, to remember the beauty of the goddess, and to become the goddess again.

For her, this kind of thing happening to her is no different from someone who has gone astray under the blows of reality seeing their past self, full of childlike innocence and vitality, and being told to be kind and stick to their original intentions—it's just as disgusting.

At this moment, Gorgon only wanted Anna to drown in her hatred, clinging to her damned fantasies.

"Naive fellow, you, as a goddess, can never understand my feelings. Now, all you can do is obediently let me devour you, and then merge with me to unleash your final revenge! Farewell, you cowardly me!"

Gorgon roared and opened his mouth to shove the carefree Anna into his gaping maw, preparing to devour her innocent self just as he had devoured his sisters in mythology.

"So you can't reason with me after all? In that case... I'll say the same thing back to you!"

Just then, Gorgon's face darkened, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Because she realized that Anna's tiny body in her hands was growing at a visible rate, and her mass was also increasing wildly. Her petite body became incredibly large, full, and her smooth legs transformed into a serpentine form, while wings sprouted from her back.

"This, this is...!!"

Gorgon stared wide-eyed at the sight, filled with disbelief, while Anna broke free from his grasp.

At this moment, she and Gorgon had the same appearance, the same enormous body, the same demonic eyes, and the same power. The only difference was the color of their bodies. Gorgon's body was purple, representing tyranny and madness, while Anna's body was pure white, symbolizing peace and tranquility. Her petrifying demonic eyes held only peace.

"What's wrong with you?!"

Looking at Anna, who was exactly like him, as if she were a mirror image, Gorgon asked a question.

"There's nothing hard to understand, is there? Because I'm a Gorgon too..."

Anna said with a peaceful expression.

"No, it's impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Gorgon's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed that it was impossible. But Anna had already taken her arm and said softly.

“Now I have everything I need, let’s settle this once and for all… Gorgon, now let me teach you the final magic trick.”

Arknights, I'm really a super villain!

Chapter 279 The Final Treasure

On a coastline south of the Arabian Sea.

This place used to be a forest, but now it has been completely leveled, and there are golden pits and burning golden flames everywhere.

Having been away alone for a long time, Gilgamesh stood on the cratered earth, calmly gazing at the black monsters constantly emerging from the dark ocean in front of him. At the same time, he slightly raised his head and looked at Kingu, who stood quietly in the sky.

The sky was filled with chains of heaven, and Gilgamesh's golden staff was everywhere on the ground.

Looking at Gilgamesh below, Kingu's expression was thoughtful. Memories that did not belong to her, contained within this body, surfaced at this moment, causing her to lose her focus.

“Gilgamesh…”

Upon seeing Gilgamesh for the first time, Kingu instinctively uttered his name.

"Not only the outer shell, but even the functions themselves are exactly the same..."

Gilgamesh looked at her and murmured to himself, "Even without the Holy Grail, it seems you've already found a rather excellent source of magic."

Upon hearing his words, Jingu silently touched her chest, where a burning organ was rapidly beating. It was the heart that Lovi had given her. Although she couldn't have the infinite magic power she possessed with the Holy Grail, she could still recover her magic power by connecting with the earth thanks to Enkidu's body, so she wouldn't experience a lack of magic power.

“I have already given the Holy Grail to that annoying but indispensable guy, and I am not Enkidu, nor am I your friend. This body was only found for me by the Demon King. If you want to identify someone, I can only say that you have mistaken me for someone else, but I am not your enemy either.”

While manipulating the Chains of Heaven beside him, Kingu sealed off the coastline once again, trying to pierce through all the monsters that tried to come ashore, and then spoke to Gilgamesh.

"Hmph! Do I need you to tell me?"

Upon hearing her words, Gilgamesh let out a disdainful snort. He already knew whether the other party was Enkidu or not. Meeting her here was simply because he had foreseen it beforehand. Also, because of what that kid, Lovi, had told him, he realized that running away was useless. Rather than leaving regrets, he might as well come and see for himself. That's why he waited for her at the place where King appeared, while conducting an on-site investigation, using his status as king to stop the monsters from coming ashore.

Seeing that Kingu shared the same thoughts and witnessing her in battle, Gilgamesh was certain that she was not Enkidu, but Kingu did indeed bear the shadow of Enkidu, making her worthy of being called Enkidu's successor.

"Gilgamesh, what are you doing here instead of staying in your Uruk?"

After eliminating this group of enemies, Kingu descended from the sky and asked Gilgamesh in front of him.

At such a critical moment, it seemed rather odd that Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, wasn't staying in the palace to oversee the battle, but instead rushed to the front lines. Moreover, she had a nagging feeling that Gilgamesh might have come for her sake.

If it were to reclaim Enkidu's body, she would have no complaints, but it absolutely could not be now. She could make a pact with Gilgamesh that after saving her mother, she would commit suicide to return her body to him.

Gilgamesh clearly didn't have that idea. After experiencing growth and enlightenment, and having personally witnessed many things, he wouldn't do such a thing.

In response to Jin Gu's question, he replied directly: "I came here to investigate, to meet with you, and to prepare for your plan with that scoundrel."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's words, Kingu's expression visibly changed, especially when she heard the second half of the sentence, she asked in surprise.

"Are you here to help Mother, not to kill her?"

She had no idea that Gilgamesh would help save Tiamat. Although Lovi said he would try to persuade Gilgamesh to join him, Kingu never believed it, as it sounded like a complete fantasy.

The significance of Tiamat to the Sumerian civilization, and the great purge it represented during its revival, were things that Gilgamesh, as king with his clairvoyance, could not possibly have been unaware of. If he were not incompetent, he would have chosen a simpler method instead of following their madness. But now that he had personally admitted it, how could King not be surprised?

"Foolish! Who do you take me for? A mediocre person who trembles in fear at the pressure of the Mother of Creation, whose arrogance leads him to choose destruction as the only means?"

Gilgamesh sneered, "If this were my younger self, you would have died long ago. But I have let go of the past. Even if you are not Enkidu, you are still the only Chains of Heaven. Therefore, not only will I not kill you, but I will also let you live well with Enkidu's wishes. As for Tiamat—"

"Rather than killing, I would rather help you complete that absurd miracle of reversing Genesis. After all, it was originally the gods who owed it to humanity. If possible, I would naturally be willing to repay her in the best way."

"You bastard..."

Listening to Gilgamesh's words, Kingu's expression was thoughtful, but she couldn't help but show a relaxed smile, as if a great weight had been lifted from her heart.

"Let's leave this matter here, King Gu. Compared to seeing you, my greater objective here is to find out the location coordinates of Tiamat."

After ending the conversation, Gilgamesh snorted coldly, then spoke to Kingu again.

"Because too many seals have been broken, Tiamat won't come out easily now. Even if you kill her insurance Gorgon, you'll only face a new wave of Elevens and monsters. Just like the legend says, she won't return easily until all Elevens are dead. Am I right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's words, Kingu nodded in agreement. Having participated in that battle countless years ago, she naturally knew better than anyone what was to come: "To see Mother, we must destroy the Eleven Sons and the Beast Legion, just like the Sumerian gods did in the past."

"But I and humanity no longer have time to start a new holy war with her, so I must seize the moment to pull Tiamat out of the imaginary world and force her back to this world, skipping the holy war prelude and starting the final part directly. This is the most important reason I came here."

As Gilgamesh spoke, he then slightly turned his hand, and a strange, dark red sword was gently grasped in his hand. He then aimed it at the dark dot floating in mid-air in the Arabian Sea.

"Your plan is sound; it is indeed the simplest solution. Meanwhile, the monsters on the other side seem to have angered the Demon King and are being killed off one after another. So all we need to do is..."

As they were talking, Jingu's expression froze slightly, then he turned his head and stared intently at the black whirlpool floating in the Arabian Sea, and spoke.

“This is bad. Because Gorgon has been attacked, the reaction on Mother’s side has intensified. More monsters and brothers who have almost returned to their original state are about to appear. I have to go and see! So I’m leaving this to you, King Gilgamesh.”

With that, Jingu suddenly leaped into the air and flew towards the Arabian Sea.

Upon seeing this, Gilgamesh was slightly distracted and subconsciously wanted to follow, but in the end he stopped and continued to wait for an opportunity.

At that moment, a jet-black horse strode in from the distant wasteland.

"Hmph, you're here too? You really do care about that guy..."

Upon seeing the Holy Lance Goddess appear here, Gilgamesh spoke calmly, then turned his head and looked in the other direction.

The outcome there will soon be decided.

In front of the Temple of Blood.

With his eyes closed, Luo Wei condensed lightning from a golden halo in his left hand and ignited flames from the Right of God in his right. He was like a god descending to earth, relentlessly chasing after the monsters. Every monster that dared to charge at him was burned to a crisp by his terrifying power, and blood and limbs shattered by his energy began to fly across the wasteland.

Soon, one corpse after another filled the earth, and the smell of burnt flesh and blood, along with the stench of blood, permeated the air, creating an unbearable stench.

Luo Wei's eyes remained calm, and with a swift stroke of his blade, another magical beast was instantly killed on the spot.

The monsters, overwhelmed by the pressure of death and the call of Gorgon, briefly forgot their fear and continued to pounce on him one after another.

However, Luo Wei only blasted the monster in front of him with one punch. Then, with a thought, the light wheel behind him began to rotate and flash. A dazzling golden beam of light, like a bright morning star, pierced through the monster.

With a loud "boom!", golden light pierced through the beast tide and surged into the distance.
