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

Seeing them appear, Jingu raised her hand and launched several chains in an attempt to pierce them. However, this time the scene was not the same as before, when she killed Rahmu. Instead, she dodged the chain attack with an extremely contorted movement and speed, which was much faster than the Rahmu she had killed before.

"Evolved?"

Jingu was somewhat surprised. She then continued to manipulate the chains, sending them hurtling towards the Rahmu. This time, under her careful control, although dozens of Rahmu died instantly, many others visibly accelerated past the chains and charged straight at Jingu, their blades aimed at her heart.

boom!

Before Rahmu could get close, and before Jingu could summon his weapon to pierce it, the charging Rahmu was sent flying backward. Surprisingly, Siduri, standing beside him, kicked one of the Rahmu away with her delicate body. Jingu was somewhat taken aback.

"Please be careful, Lord King Gu."

Siduri said with a smile.

"The high priest is so powerful..."

The other soldiers also began to admire Siduri's beautiful kick.

"So the high priestess is this good at fighting? I thought she was very delicate."

"You idiot, have you forgotten? When the king returned from searching for the elixir of immortality, did the high priest give him a kick to the chest? At the time, the king remarked that the high priest's kick was more terrifying than any of the gods."

"I see……"

The idle chatter didn't last long, or rather, the casual conversation was just the best way for the soldiers to dispel their fear; at this moment, they were all prepared to give up their hearts.

Jin Gu paid no attention to the mortals; as she stared at the hordes of monsters sweeping towards her, she began to form many new predictions.

Although it looks ugly, Rahmu's evolution speed is too fast. In such a short time, after I killed some Rahmu, it actually remembered my attack pattern and then dodged by enhancing its speed. If I were alone, I wouldn't think anything of it, but now I have so many burdens on my back, which makes it difficult for it to use its proud high mobility.

Things have unexpectedly become a bit complicated...

After a brief moment of thought, Jin Gu felt that something seemed amiss.

Soon, another group of Rahmu rushed over, this time attacking from all sides.

Just as she was about to activate her Noble Phantasm to quickly kill the tens of thousands of Rahmu who had gathered around her without her noticing,

"Lord King Gu, please let us join the battle!"

A voice requesting her voice reached her ears. She turned her head slightly and saw Siduri leading a group of soldiers who, despite their simple equipment, were still orderly assembled in the square, ready to join the battle.

"you?"

She was about to say something, but Siduri spoke first once again.

“That’s right. Although we are weak and seem very fragile to you, we can’t just stand here and watch you fight for us all by yourself. So please let us help you too! We all want to fight alongside you.”

As the sound faded, the soldiers in the square had already formed ranks and raised their weapons, ready to fight against the Rahmu.

Although Jin Gu thought this was foolish, he did not point it out.

After all, he didn't know how long she could hold off tens of thousands of Rahmu on her own. It was always good for these people to learn to protect themselves. However, just as he was about to make his move.

"The Rahmu are here!"

This time, they all surged in at once; monsters from the entire city and forest came together. Again, Jingu didn't hesitate, immediately releasing all the Chains of Heaven to try and stop the monsters. However, the instant she released the chains, the feedback they sent back, and that familiar magical power, made her realize that it wasn't just caused by monsters, but rather—

"Oh my, this place is so lively! I was wondering why we didn't come to Ur City. Turns out everyone's here for a wrestling tournament. In that case, I'll join you all!"

A burst of fiery red light pierced through Rahmu, bursting out of the encirclement with a loud laugh. The intense heat annihilated a large number of Rahmu like a devastating force.

"Quetzalcoatl? So you're a traitor after all..."

Kingu immediately recognized the feathered serpent goddess who was holding a sign that read "The Supreme God Manifests" and dressed in strange attire. At that moment, she was unleashing her full power in Rahmulli, holding a shield in her left hand and a serrated sword in her right.

This surprised King Gu, while Quetzalcoatl leaped to her side, patted her chest, and said, "My alliance oath was with the three goddesses of Gorgon. Now that she's dead, it's naturally dissolved, so big sister is here to help!"

"Besides, aren't you the biggest traitor too?"

Quetzalcoatl looked at King Gu and asked with a smile.

"..."

These words left her speechless, and in the end, she could only nod silently.

"Now that you're here, you can take these guys and leave. I can sense that another change is coming on Mother's side, and I must go back to join the battle immediately."

Although it still feels a bit awkward, Kingu is lucky to be able to see Quetzalcoatl now.

She left immediately after entrusting the soldiers of Uruk and Siduri to suitable people.

Watching her leave so gracefully, Quetzalcoatl felt somewhat helpless.

She couldn't help but complain loudly: "What is all this about? Why is it all being assigned to me? I want to fight Tiamat too!"

Chapter 288 Lovers...Delicious!

"Yes, yes, a little more to the left."

"No! Move a little more to the right! Are you even capable of this? Did you just pick up your crown rank?!"

"You bastard, how can your magic skills be so poor?!"

"Fuck you!"

Along the coastline, shouts and curses rang out, followed by two figures of different colors almost coming to blows. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Lovi and Gilgamesh. At this moment, the two were blaming each other because of the generation gap and the differences in their magical foundations.

Gilgamesh is the embodiment of mythological magic, while Loewy is the inheritor of modern Western magic and contemporary magic, so there is an unavoidable generation gap between them. If it were just one of them, it wouldn't be so bad, but once they're put together to discuss magic, it's a miracle they don't end up fighting.

"Does breaking a magic array at a single spatial node really take this much time?!"

Gilgamesh, wielding his giant axe, tore apart several attacking Rahmu while shouting to Lovi behind him, and the reply was still the same—

"Almost there, almost there, don't rush me, it'll be ready soon."

"This is the prison of the Sumerian gods; even the outer locks took some effort to secure."

While giving a perfunctory answer, Luo Wei continued to speed up his work on breaking through the prison of the gods.

He knew that hellish place; after all, he had experienced it firsthand. It was a place devoid of light and wind; all elements had been stripped away, leaving only imaginary gibberish and an endless, empty darkness. Even though Gilgamesh's theory of using multiple Holy Grails to accelerate the breaking of the outer layer and then using Ea to open it was indeed very feasible, its practical implementation was fraught with difficulties, especially given the guy's constant complaints and micromanagement.

"You scoundrel, I, the King, will—!!"

"Don't talk! It's all better now!"

Gilgamesh was furious at being treated so perfunctorily, and on top of that, he had to defend against the Rahmu summoned by Tiamat. But just as he was about to say something, a magic circle that used the blood of various magical beasts as a medium and five different Holy Grails as a source of magic power finally took shape in front of Lovi on the other side. A huge beam of light immediately shot up from the ground and tore through the dark clouds over the Arabian Sea.

The powerful magic and terrifying impact enveloped the surrounding Rahmu in light in an instant, then evaporated completely. Even Lovi and Gilgamesh were unharmed because they had made preparations in advance.

Gilgamesh's seven crimson rings shattered instantly, and it wasn't until he took out the Shield of the Gods that he was able to barely counteract the damage. Meanwhile, the sound of the Right of the Divine Dispel magic had been echoing for who knows how long, and the two of them emerged unharmed from the white light.

At this moment, the two stopped being distracted by the previous argument and stood still, looking up at the sky.

There, the once smooth and even sky seemed to have been broken, with large amounts of blank fragments falling from the sky like shards of broken glass.

Among them, after the fragments fell away, the scene revealed in the depths was not the usual sky, but a deep dark red. In the depths of that dark red, the pitch-black sealed world banished by the gods finally reappeared in this world.

Upon seeing this, Gilgamesh and Lovi immediately perked up.

"King Gigi, it's your turn!"

Lovi controlled the crimson hand to maintain the buzzing magic circle, while trying to defend against the attacks launched by Rahmu in place of Gilgamesh beside him. Gilgamesh, seeing this, naturally didn't say anything more.

"I understand! And—you are not allowed to call me by that utterly stupid nickname!!"

As he spoke, he reached into his treasure vault, and the next moment, he pulled out a pure gold key, then infused it with magic, and it began to change shape continuously.

—Whoosh! !

A dark red light shot straight into the sky from his hand, echoing the towering pillar of light behind him. Another destructive power, different from magic, continued to bloom in his hand.

"Although even now I think this is far too crazy, but—since things have come to this point, I guess I have no choice but to continue! Take this! Let this be the opening act!"

"—Narrive at the beginning, when heaven and earth were separated, and the void was offered as a gift."

What cleaves this world apart is my sword of discord. A vortex of stars, a celestial hell, that is the end before creation.

Silent in death! Begin in destruction! Enuma Elish, the star of creation, the separation of heaven and earth!

Gilgamesh chanted quickly, and this time he did not continue to focus on any so-called pomp and circumstance, but simplified everything as much as possible.

The original golden key instantly transformed into a dark red cylindrical longsword, with world-destroying power gathering on its blade. The wind pressure alone caused the surrounding coastline to continuously collapse.

Lovi glanced at the light emanating from the Ea sword and couldn't help but marvel at the power of Gilgamesh's trump card. No matter which version came later, even the chaotic FGO Lostbelt, the Ea sword's prestige never diminished. It remained a sword that could cleave the heavens and the earth, and a trump card that could infinitely elevate Gilgamesh's status.

call out! !

A world-destroying crimson gale swept out, reaching the dark sky above in an instant. The dark red storm and surging energy, like a raging dragon, plunged straight into the crack in the sky. The convergence of dark red and white light made the sky even more turbulent, and the entire Arabian Sea began to churn.

But the change lasted only a moment, because the sky collapsed completely the next instant, and the climate, land, and sea of ​​Mesopotamia suffered devastating damage in that instant.

Even those who continued fighting in different parts of the plains clearly noticed the changes.

The winds and clouds in the distant Arabian sky grew even more intense, with thunder raging and light radiating everywhere, resembling the cataclysmic upheaval at the birth of a planet.

Merlin stood in the sky, gazing at the distant horizon with a solemn expression. Even Merlin, who had been kicked out by Lovi and Gilgamesh to lure away Rahmu's main force, understood that this was the beginning.

Not only them, but also Lovi and Gilgamesh, who were closest to the place, were naturally more able to sense what was going on with the aura emanating from the sealed prison.

Because of this aura, a huge source of magic suddenly appeared in Arabian Haiyin. Its mass and status were unprecedented. Its mere appearance transformed or distorted the entire area, making it impossible for even those with clairvoyance to see clearly.

"coming!"

The moment the crack in the sky was completely torn open, Lovi and Gilgamesh, who were standing below, immediately felt their hair stand on end.

Because they sensed that something had appeared in the world the moment the prison was shattered, and what that thing was needs no further explanation.

The two who sensed the anomaly did not hesitate. One quickly retrieved the Holy Grail, while the other put the Ea back in its place, and then retreated rapidly into the distance.

Just then, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the thick black fog of the Arabian Sea, moving forward on the dark ocean and getting closer and closer.

She emerged from the darkness, her azure scales turning black, her snow-white body covered in shimmering red star patterns, and her long blue hair as blue as the sky.

She slowly raised her head, her eerie eyes, shimmering with purple light, gazing bewilderedly at everyone present, and... into the distance.

"It's Tiamat!"

Merlin, who was leading the Rahmu and his men on a run, immediately became alert.

As Gilgamesh retreated, he also took the time to watch Tiamat approaching from across the sea, his heart filled with vigilance. Only Lovi felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

"So it really was completely swallowed up after all..."

At that moment, Tiamat's gaze slowly turned to him, her voice as beautiful as heavenly music.

“Aaaaaa…”
