Chapter 303 Everyone's Battle

The world is heading towards its end.

The sky was dyed black, and the earth and ocean began to churn beneath our feet.

However, what Gilgamesh found even more troublesome than these environmental changes was the perceptible encroachment of his powers.

Life is being forced to evolve in unknown directions.

The environment, ecology, and even traces left by humans are all being altered under the manipulation of the Mother Goddess, and will soon be completely erased.

Although Tiamat's main body remains stationary on the ocean, the influence of that energy continues to expand, and it is only a matter of time before it engulfs Uruk.

And that time wouldn't be too long for the Mother Goddess and Uruk.

A day? A few hours? A few minutes?

These are all possible.

Gilgamesh and Doctor Roman immediately began calculating the time they would be enveloped by the power of Tiamat in preparation.

at the same time--

"So that's the legendary Tiamat—she truly is a convincing mother of creation. However, given that this world betrayed and killed her, it's not hard to understand why she would appear in this form!"

Ishtar descended from the sky, stepping on Maana, and arrived beside Gilgamesh, speaking in a mocking tone.

Although she was the chief god of Mesopotamia, she was not very old and did not belong to the first generation of gods. Therefore, she did not participate in the creation war in which Marduk and the gods An dismembered Tiamat or betrayed their mother.

If we exclude the human form of Tiamat that she saw at her own doorstep, this was the first time she had ever seen Tiamat in this form, and Ishtar's feelings were quite complicated when she saw her in person.

This included both reverence for her mother and self-reproach for the resentment she felt. As a Sumerian goddess, Tiamat's resentment resonated deeply with her.

"Whether it's resentment from our mother or the punishment for that past betrayal being inflicted upon us, even though that betrayal was initiated by the gods, since we also live on this land constructed from Tiamat's body, we naturally cannot completely extricate ourselves from it."

“Unlike the gods, we humans do not deny our sins, nor do we evade our guilt. If you have grievances, then vent them freely. There is no longer a stage for the gods to appear here. All the outcomes are decided by humans. Therefore, pay the highest respects and bid farewell to the wrathful Mother—this is the only thing Uruk and I, the king, can do!”

King Gilgamesh did not deny Tiamat as his mother, but he also did not approve of her current actions. Acknowledging his sins does not mean that humanity should helplessly accept destruction.

His choice was neither to inflict destruction nor to escape, but to take on all the wrath of this god of civilization, and then lead humanity out of the mythical age controlled by gods and mothers, and into the true human age.

"Oh my, that's really well said, King Gilgamesh. Humans should have this kind of awareness and spirit, that's the right thing to do, and that's why I like humans."

Quetzalcoatl applauded Gilgamesh's impressive words.

Smoke Mirror remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"While I don't have any particular feelings for the human race, I do have considerable insight into warriors, willpower, and resolve. Your willpower is quite impressive..."

"Oh, so this is your acceptance of humanity?"

"No, bird, stay away from me."

"Ha, nice words, but how are we supposed to fight Tiamat in that state? Putting aside the suppression I feel from the concept of the Sumerian Mother Goddess herself, her unreasonable, almost law-like attacks, and the power characteristics of [Anti-Genesis] could easily crush us and then swallow us up with the Sea of ​​Life, right?"

Ishtar patted Maana on the shoulder; unlike the others' optimism, she held a pessimistic view. Although the plan they had discussed was well-thought-out and brilliant, a plan is just a plan, and in reality, it will inevitably differ from the actual situation. The image of the woman of destiny on the Arabian Sea had already terrified her, and now, with her dragon body, she had almost lost the will to fight.

The gap between them is so vast that it can even be described as a gap between their levels of existence.

Putting aside whether Tiamat can be successfully lured into the trap as planned, even if she is, will the underworld punishment that Ereshkigal used to restrain himself be able to control Tiamat?

Ishtar couldn't guarantee that, despite her pride, she wasn't arrogant enough to compare herself to Tiamat.

"Fool, why are you saying such discouraging things at a time like this? No matter what, the only outcome now is to try until you die, right? Next, what we need to do is still to lure Tiamat out according to the plan, then stop her, and the one we really need to kill—no, I should say save, the one who will wake up this confused mother—is that guy."

As he spoke, Gilgamesh glanced at the chaotic tide that had spread from the Arabian Sea and devoured vast swathes of land in the blink of an eye, along with the monsters within it. His gaze was solemn, but he still carried out the designated plan according to the original schedule.

Heroes, soldiers, gods—

All available combat forces must exert their maximum potential at this moment.

There's nowhere left to retreat.

The world may be vast, but Uruk is right behind us.

Slaughter filled the land, and one after another, vibrant lives were lost.

However, the blood-soaked defenses still could not withstand Rahmu's attack. Ushiwakamaru and the others could no longer hold back and charged down into the battlefield.

Artoria wielded her black and white holy lance, striking again and again, the spear's edge piercing the air, summoning only destruction in the ensuing storm.

Nitocris summons the phantom of the sky god, a giant scale symbolizing death and a magic mirror, to judge those who have desecrated life.

Ushiwakamaru, Leonidas, Musashibo, and even demons like Ibaraki-dōji are all giving their all on this chaotic battlefield, fighting desperately and reaping the lives of monster after monster.

With the help of the heroic spirits and the intervention of the gods, the pressure on the defensive line was finally reduced.

In addition, Quetzalcoatl summoned her familiars, a legion of pterosaurs from ancient times, to join the battle in the sky. Furthermore, Smoke Mirror also chose to intervene because of their agreement.

"Then let me see, Tiamat, and humans, just how far are you capable?"

Without revealing his final form, Smoke Mirror gently placed a black panther-like mask on his face, and his body changed from a modern outfit to a black bodysuit, with a sharp claw springing out.

As the wind howled, the dark god, like a wisp of black mist or an unpredictable wind, roamed freely through the waves of Lahm, charging in and out seven times, displaying the fighting prowess of the Aztec gods.

Although he refused to fight Tiamat head-on for special reasons, he was still a true god of war. In his eyes, all the Rahmu were nothing more than undead imprisoned in the underworld, waiting to be harvested at any time.

Seeing this performance, Gilgamesh secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the familiar white figure standing above the city wall, raising his arm and releasing countless golden chains that pierced through Rahmu. Although he knew it wasn't him, after seeing those familiar chains and that familiar figure again and again, the feeling of longing still involuntarily reached the depths of his soul.

"King Gilgamesh! The most rude result has been calculated!"

A somewhat flustered voice came from Roman's side, interrupting Gilgamesh's thoughts.

What was the result?

Gilgamesh asked.

"One day, or at most twenty-four hours. Given the rate at which Tiamat's power spreads, if you don't defeat her within twenty-four hours, her ecological reconstruction will be complete. This is your time limit. And I have something very important to tell you, Gilgamesh."

Roman said, "Just now, Rowe took the Holy Grail to lure Tiamat!"

"What?! That guy acted on his own? That's impossible! How did he get there? He couldn't have gotten close to Tiamat without someone clearing a path for him!"

Gilgamesh's eyes widened, and he asked in bewilderment, "And... why act so recklessly? Who does he think he is, acting alone like this?!"

"It's unclear, but Chaldea's instruments have detected his magic, and he is currently operating near the Arabian Sea."

Roman said.

"That idiot! He actually went to face Tiamat alone in this state. Does he really want to be a hero? I never saw him act so recklessly when it comes to emotions! The situation has changed. Although the plan continues, he should have waited until I came up with a solution before going. Where does he put me? Can he really get away with this on his own?!"

“No, Gilgamesh, if you're worried about him getting hurt alone, then the truth is…”

Seeing Gilgamesh's state, Roman immediately revealed the truth, "Perhaps it's safer on his side than here, and he has more fighting power..."

"What did you say?!"

Gilgamesh's eyes widened.

"It's the Demon God Pillars. This time, he used the power of the Demon God Pillars. All seventy-two Demon God Pillars, which were used as trump cards, were mobilized to clear a path for him. Now he has arrived near Tiamat and has successfully attracted Tiamat's attention."

Roman explained, "With the power of the Demon Pillar, the Rahmu surrounding Tiamat are absolutely no threat to him."

"And let's not think about that anymore, Gilgamesh. Since Tiamat is attracted to him, it means the plan is progressing smoothly. Hurry up and go to the Underworld to prepare and have Ereshkigal open the entrance. This is the last chance; the release of the Temple of Time can only happen once within a certain period of time!"

Roman cautioned, "If you don't seize this opportunity during the day's break, you could really lose everything."

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh nodded.

At this moment, Siduri also came before him, returning the key to the treasury that Lovi had given her before his departure—the sword Ea—to Gilgamesh. She then earnestly said, "My king, please set off. I have always believed that with your leadership, no matter what enemies or difficulties lie ahead, they will all be completely wiped out by your world-shaking holy sword, and we will ultimately achieve final victory!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh fell silent, gripping the sword Ea once more, feeling its earth-shattering power. For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to his most arrogant and unruly days. He closed his eyes, nodded, and answered with equal seriousness, "Of course, I will win... no, I will definitely win!"

"Then let us set off, King Gilgamesh."

At that moment, Quetzalcoatl whistled, summoning the pterosaur to the vicinity of the palace. He stretched and then said to it, "Everyone is already in order, so we should get back to our posts immediately. After all, our next task is of utmost importance—is everyone ready?"

She turned to Ishtar and asked Gilgamesh.

Ishtar: "Sigh... what else can I say? The magic power has been fully accumulated, and I will unleash my strongest attack on the Mother Goddess's wings."

Gilgamesh gripped the sword Ea tightly, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"—To break the wings of the Mother Goddess of Creation? Leave that task to us! I, the King, will now reveal the true power to create the world!"

"And what about us?!"

Ritsuka and Mashu, whose age and strength had been overlooked, also raised their arms at this moment.

Gilgamesh glanced at them, his eyes lingering in thought.

After some thought, he gave them the task of protecting Siduri and the other priests, keeping them as far away from the battlefield as possible.

This also relieved Roman.

He also knew that this was Gilgamesh's way of taking care of Ritsuka and Mash.

Although the two girls had already made up their minds, the battlefield ahead was still too young for them.

Before arriving at Shadow Border.

They are not suitable to participate in the chaotic battlefield that follows.

……

……

The boundary of the Arabian Sea.

Luo Wei ran at top speed.

Everything so far has been within his calculations.

By using his own blood and the true Holy Grail to lure Tiamat out, and by praying through the Holy Grail, he drew Tiamat's attention, causing the Rahmu Wave and Tiamat to leave the Arabian Sea and enter their home territory. This also relieved most of the fighting pressure on the front lines, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

However, there was one thing that was beyond Luo Wei's calculations.

That is--
