"Although we have experienced a series of fierce battles, we have only lost one Servant so far." Artoria said, "Merlin's sister."
Meli was responsible for using dreams to make Tiamat fall into a deep sleep and unable to wake up. When Tiamat was awakened by "death" due to the death of the Gorgons, Meli, who had no time to escape, was killed by Tiamat in the dream.
"Although it is a serious loss, there is nothing we can do. She has done her best. Otherwise, when we arrive... no, maybe we should say that we would not be able to reach this singularity from the beginning." Altria said in a deep voice.
Now that a space-time rupture has occurred in Mesopotamia, even they cannot retreat via lepton transfer. Now the only way out is to defeat Tiamat and repair the singularity.
"What about other places?" asked Xijian.
He was referring to Ur and Eridu in the dense forests to the south, cities outside of Uruk where people still lived.
"After the situation deteriorated, Rahmu appeared and attacked humanity too quickly. Although Quetzalcoatl did his best to annihilate them, more than half of them were killed," Scathach let go.
Shiomi's condition has stabilized, and now it's up to him to recover.
After tonight, we can return to the battlefield.
"So everyone now--" Shiomi wanted to confirm what to do next.
"Since there is no fighting now, everyone is resting." Morgan walked slowly into the bedroom, "We are all waiting for you to wake up so that we can hold a formal combat meeting and formulate the next plan."
Shiomi smiled and nodded to show her understanding, then teased: "…But I was still thinking, when I woke up I could only see Master and Altria, and I thought you weren't worried about me anymore."
"Of course I'm worried. But the situation is a little different this time, so I'll let them take care of me." Morgan walked to the bedside. "After all, I'm making preparations for a counterattack against Tiamat. Now I just took some time to come and make sure my husband is awake."
"I'm sorry for distracting you." Shiomi touched his nose.
Morgan smiled calmly, his voice revealing tenderness: "If you stay unconscious for another ten days or more, I will really be distracted. Just consider it as exhaustion this time."
"So how is the preparation going? How much time will it take?" Xijian put away his casual mentality and asked seriously.
"Because this matter was not in the original plan, and in order to maximize my power, I occupied the throne of Uruk for a while, and with the support of the Moon King, I embezzled a lot of Gilgamesh's treasure as materials."
Morgan's attitude towards this is serious yet confident.
"That Gilgamesh is really willing to do that." Although Scathach knew it, she still couldn't help but teasing.
After all, this was a major operation to save Uruk. Even the heroic king, who would never give away treasures easily, became heroic.
"Personally, I think the preparations for this battle against the gods were too hasty and can only be considered hasty. Fortunately, my husband and others are fighting alongside me, so it can be said that the flaws outweigh the merits."
Altria looked at her, "You are very skilled at this kind of thing."
"It's just repeating what I've always done." Morgan's words were modest, but the pride in his tone was evident.
Seeing her expression, Xi Jian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood.
"Um, can you let me hug you?" Shiomi said, "When I woke up in the morning, I didn't even have time to do something like this."
"as you wish."
Morgan climbed onto the bed and calmly snuggled into Shiomi's arms, accepting his silent praise and encouragement.
This is what she wants. Without words, Xi Jian will understand and then pretend to have the attitude he wants.
Although the next second, Shiomi was hugged from behind by her master.
Only Artoria did not move. It was not because there was no room, but because they had already hugged each other passionately during the half-hour rest in the observatory, so they did not need this moment.
After just a few minutes of tenderness, footsteps were heard outside the bedroom.
When Gray knocked on the door and came in, they had separated and looked normal.
Then, Grey came with unexpected news.
"Teacher! The missing King Gilgamesh has been found!"
Chapter 61 Concept Seal
Although Gilgamesh, who originally belonged to this era, has been found, the situation is not optimistic.
Gilgamesh, who never returned after leaving Uruk in search of the elixir of immortality, is lying in a transparent container that looks like a coffin.
"It was really hard work, moving this thing out of that gloomy temple and running all the way back to Uruk." The leopard man moved his shoulders, looking like he was almost exhausted.
"Thank you for your hard work, Leopard Man. I will try to arrange a thank you party later as an offering to you."
"Oh, don't be so polite. It's just a piece of cake!" The Leopard Man gave a thumbs up and ran out to rest.
After the battle on the Warcraft front ended, she was assigned to investigate the Blood Temple of Gorgon.
Although he didn't want to go, he knew he would be dealt with by Quetzalcoatl if he didn't go. The Leopard Man could only complain while going to investigate, but he didn't expect to make a major discovery.
After losing the Warcraft Goddess it was worshipping, the barrier of the temple became ineffective and its original function disappeared.
The Leopard Man, who was originally just investigating the situation, found Gilgamesh in the deepest part of the temple, and then moved back based on his intuition that it was correct.
"It's not an ordinary coffin. The person inside is not dead, but sealed." Morgan tried to analyze it and understood the principle. "This is the cornerstone of the singularity to deny the concept of 'Gilgamesh as King'."
Hakuno Kishiba put his hand on the transparent lid: "It feels so weird."
The Servant Gilgamesh is right next to him, and the real Gilgamesh is also in the coffin.
"Idiot, Servants are beings that transcend time, don't confuse them." The Servant Gilgamesh flicked Hakuno's forehead.
At this time, Siduri asked: "So, can the seal be broken, Mrs. Morgan?"
"Originally, the seal was only possible with the Holy Grail, the temple, and Gilgamesh himself. Now the Holy Grail has fallen into Tiamat's hands, and the Gorgon has been destroyed." Morgan smiled calmly, "Now only I am left. Even an entry-level magician can break this seal."
Xi Jian groaned at this time: "Wait a minute, if the seal can be unlocked, does that mean..."
He looked at Gilgamesh with a subtle look.
"That's an unnecessary question. My master has been taking over the throne for so long. Now it's naturally my turn to contribute." Gilgamesh declared proudly.
He made no denying that he would join the battle against Tiamat as a fighting force.
"With Gilgamesh still alive..." Morgan said, "it more or less makes up for the difference in combat power."
Siduri expressed her concerns: "But King Gilgamesh has been sealed away. As soon as he wakes up, he will be allowed to return to the battlefield..."
“So you intend to stop the living ‘king’ from returning to the battlefield, Siduri?” Gilgamesh asked.
"No, I don't mean that." Siduri said, "If it is the king's wish to return to the battlefield, I will not stop him."
Because according to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Tiamat arrives in Uruk, but as long as we can win in the end.
With the surviving Uruk people and the king returning from his journey, Uruk will surely be able to revive again.
So even though Siduri knew that the outcome was still unknown, she had to consider how Uruk would survive the crisis.
"That's enough." Gilgamesh smiled slightly.
A considerate smile appeared on Siduri's face behind her veil.
At this time, the seal of the transparent coffin was unlocked, and Gilgamesh, who lived in this era, was still in a dormant state.
Siduri immediately arranged for the guards of the Ziggurat who stayed behind to assist in the work to carry King Gilgamesh and the half of the coffin that was left to the king's bedroom.
"This way, the real King Gilgamesh will return, and I won't have to continue to sit on the throne under the title of Moon King." Bai Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Although there is nothing else for me to deal with now."
"What's wrong, Hakuno? Are you not satisfied with ruling Uruk?" Gilgamesh laughed, "What a greedy little girl you are, hahahaha!"
"That's not what I meant..." Bai Ye was too lazy to complain.
Shiomi was preparing to connect to Chaldea's communication so that he could hold the final combat meeting once the others arrived, but he thought of one thing.
“Come to think of it, the Magic King actually thought of sealing Gilgamesh and using this as a foundation to allow the singularity to come up with the concept of ‘denying the existence of King Gilgamesh’… It’s a bit unexpected,” he said.
Gilgamesh looked at him. "What do you want to say, Chaldean?"
"I met the Magic King once. No matter what, that man seemed to be the type who only cared about the completion of the Burning of Humanity and what happened after that. He was willing to seal Gilgamesh of this era to realize that concept, but he didn't fill in the gaps in the concept after you arrived—"
Having said this, Shiomi suddenly turned her head and looked directly into Gilgamesh's bright red eyes.
"It's as if someone had 'taught' me to do this."
Of course, he did not doubt that Gilgamesh directed and acted in the drama himself. Although this man was not easy to reason with common sense, he was not so boring.
"Then you can only reveal the answer if you go to the Magic King's temple in person." Gilgamesh did not intend to answer, "Other visionaries, please keep watching. If I continue to talk, it will not be good for you."
"Oh, is it so."
After understanding Gilgamesh's meaning, Shiomi stopped asking questions and walked out of the palace to connect to Chaldea's communication.
"Doctor, inform the others who are resting to come to the palace. It's time to hold a combat meeting."
"I see. I'll tell the others right away... Are you all right?" Romani confirmed the situation. "I heard reports that Tiamat has had a significant impact on you. And Chaldea can't analyze your condition very well. If your condition is--"
"No problem." Shiomi said confidently, "Although I can't say that I have fully recovered, I can still participate in the battle. Morgan and the others also recognized this."
"So what if they don't approve? When the battle against Tiamat begins, who will have the time to keep an eye on you and prevent you from going to the front line?" Scathach, who was sitting on the steps outside the palace, said at this time. She smiled helplessly, "You even learned the bad habits of your master. Really..."
"Even Master has never experienced such a big war in the past. If I don't want Master to be in danger, can Master not participate in the war?" Xi Jian asked.
"Well...that's impossible." Scathach looked as if she was refuted.
Morgan, who followed out, and Altria, who was also sitting outside, laughed along with Shiomi and Scathach.
Chapter 62: Not part of the correct human history
When Tiamat truly awakened, the "Tide of Chaos" spread to the land at an extremely fast speed.
Ur and Eri in the south had been engulfed and reached the south at dusk.
As the acting king, the last order issued by Hakuno Kishinami was to activate the Fang of Nabisteen designed by Gilgamesh to stop the black mud from the ocean from further eroding the earth.
"We've finally avoided the erosion of our base camp. If we had this kind of stuff, we should have taken it out earlier." Xi Jian couldn't help but mutter after listening to the front-line reports sent back by the soldiers.
Gilgamesh just sneered: "This is what the ultimate weapon is! Although this is what the "king" of this era should accomplish, the king only took action because he had no choice."
"Anyway, now that everyone is here, let's prepare to hold a uh... round table meeting, right?" Bai Ye pointed to the center of the hall.
Mashu's shield was placed flat on the ground, serving as a large communication tool.
Unlike the communicators they carry with them, Chaldea's spirit particle communication, which relies on Mashu's shield as a medium, can transmit more and more detailed information, and can convey all the results of Chaldea's analysis to Shiomi and others in the singularity.
When Altria saw the shield being used in this way, she was filled with emotion for a moment. It was a pity that Mash was the only one who could be considered a Knight of the Round Table here.
"First, there are two types of life forms created by Tiamat, Lahmu. One type turns into a sphere at sunset and stops moving," Shiomi said. "It was these guys who attacked the surviving civilians in the city. As for the second type——"
Several people, including Shiomi, who tried to attack Tiamat's main body had already encountered it.
"Those types that fly around their mothers and are responsible for keeping enemies away." Ereshkigal was impressed.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was so powerful at that time, those flying Lahms alone would have been enough to cause them a lot of trouble.
"What's going on? Tiamat's information..." Altria said solemnly, "Although the specifications and abilities are already written in great detail, but..."
"No weaknesses?" Scathach couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Romani was also helpless: "I would like to write one or two strategies, but Tiamat is a physical and mythological existence without any flaws! We can't compete with it at all!"
"The Axe of Marduk." Shiomi said slowly, "The axe belongs to me now. Although I cannot release my true name like last time, if I can get the cooperation of a main god like Quetzalcoatl, I should be able to pose a threat, right?"
Quetzal nodded in agreement. "That is true. But you and I are not Marduk. We cannot fully exert the power of the axe. There is no such thing as reenacting the scene in the myth where Marduk kills Tiamat. At most, we can only slow her down."
"Is that so?" Sakura sighed, "But... since Mother returned during the day, she has been using the throne here to prepare some secret weapon. What exactly is that--"
Only Morgan and Shiomi knew the truth about this matter, as it was related to Morgan's biggest secret.
Even Xi Jian himself just noticed it and remained silent, never asking any questions. The couple maintained a perfect tacit understanding.
"It's not a big deal, just a large launcher for the Holy Lance." Morgan held up his arm. "I built this anti-god weapon myself using the treasures from the Hero King's treasury."
Her tone was understated, as if it was even more insignificant than the "Seal of Divine Authority" set up on the walls of Uruk and the Warcraft Front, but it was obviously not that simple.
“Eh ...
Almost everyone showed an expression of shock.
Everyone already knew that Morgan had learned the Holy Lance as a magecraft and had reproduced it with the same power as the original.
But now she said that she wanted to use Holy Spear-level attacks on a large scale.
The magnitude alone is enough to make people drop their jaws.
"No matter what, you don't have to say it so easily..." Xijian whispered to her.
"Because I'm looking forward to everyone's reaction." Morgan looked very happy.
Even though it was a critical moment concerning life and death, she still maintained her precious optimism.
"Could it be that you showed mercy when we were in the Round Table Fortress?" Altria couldn't help but wonder.
