The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"But they did such cruel things, and many people were killed..."

Mashu looked a little dazed, and her tone was quite resistant. It was obvious that she found Lin Qiao's conclusion difficult to accept.

"It's a competition for survival, Mashu." Lin Qiao said lightly.

This is why Lahmu, who is extremely intelligent, is so hostile to humans.

Putting aside their inherently cruel nature, in essence, the relationship between them and humans is one of mortal enemies fighting for each other's right to survive.

Whether humans can repair the singularity, maintain the correctness of history and ensure the prosperity of humanity; or Lahmu can use the power of Tiamat to replace humans and create his own history, all depends on this battle.

The winner takes all, the loser dies, that's all.

As for what is cruel...

Lin Qiao could only say that Mashu and Lixiang were both inexperienced.

Compared to the cruel things humans have done, Lahmu's level is really nothing - even the birth of Mashu was the result of one of these cruel things.

However, considering the mentality of the two girls, Lin Qiao decided not to tell them.

"....How's that guy Tiamat doing?"

Gilgamesh looked at Lin Qiao with his scarlet eyes and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

But the result made him frown.

"I'm not very optimistic either... From what I can see, we will be able to fully resume operations by noon tomorrow at the latest."

Lin Qiao spread his hands helplessly.

Even though he had destroyed Tiamat and the entire Chaos Tide with a single black hole cannon shot, it was unlikely that he would be able to kill the other party.

——This thing has no health bar!

It would be fine if Lin Qiao fired the black hole cannon at the planet itself, but under the premise that the earth evaporates from the universe, Tiamat naturally cannot remain unscathed.

But the trouble is, he just can't do that...

As long as there are living lives on earth, they can be resurrected unlimited times. Lin Qiao has witnessed this.

And because he was a complete outsider, this caused Tiamat's maternal self-restraint to disappear.

——You are not my child at all! I will not show mercy!

It's probably something like this.

Not to mention that because of the threat he brought, Tiamat, who originally needed the Holy Grail to fully awaken, was fully awakened directly...

In summary, Lin Qiao's black hole cannon only temporarily stopped Tiamat's progress but failed to completely destroy it.

"We can only hope that Tiamat falls into the underworld..."

This is also the most reliable method at present.

Chapter 650: Ti Ma: You are not my child!

"By the way, how long will it take for the underworld to dig through Uruk?"

Ritsuka looked at Ereshkigal. This was one of the most important trump cards they had in hand.

Although in the Age of Gods it seemed that one could reach their destination as long as they dug a deep enough hole, to be honest, the underworld and the world of the living were two completely different worlds.

It’s just that during the Age of Gods, parts of the two worlds overlapped and merged with each other.

In other words, as long as Tiamat is eliminated in the underworld, her ability to resurrect infinitely will become useless.

"Well, the Cave of Death covering the entire territory of Uruk only needs two more days to prepare..."

Upon hearing the news, the important people present were immediately delighted.

But then, Lin Qiao poured a basin of cold water on them.

"Just to remind you, it will only take a half hour at most for Tiamat to reach Uruk after recovery."

After all, after being hit by Lin Qiao, it was naturally impossible for her to maintain her previous slow pace.

In other words, what awaits them next is Tiamat at her full strength.

“Half an hour!?”

"No matter what, this is..."

"There's simply no time left!"

"My Noble Phantasm, the Guardian of the Flame Gate, may be able to hold out for a while... but it's still a bit too much to last a day."

Such sudden news caused the temple to fall into a tense atmosphere.

However, amid the discussion among the crowd, Medusa, who knew someone well enough, set her eyes on Lin Qiao.

Obviously, Lin Qiao was not in a hurry and still had a smile on her face... In fact, Gilgamesh on the side had a similar look.

"We have been cared for by outsiders for so long, and now it is finally time to show the strength of our Mesopotamian people."

Gilgamesh took a step forward, unable to hold back his laughter, and turned his gaze towards Ishtar.

"?"

Ishtar looked around and found that the person Gilgamesh was looking at was indeed her, and a question mark appeared on her forehead.

This only made Gilgamesh laugh even louder.

"You actually know how to hide your cards now. How hateful, how hateful."

"Eh? No, what on earth are you..."

"It's Gugalana! Ishtar, King Gilgamesh is talking about Gugalana!"

As if he had thought of something, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly spoke in an excited tone.

The many heroic spirits nearby seemed to have thought of this after being reminded by Fujimaru Ritsuka. They laughed heartily and began to brag about the name of Ishtar.

The leopard man even sang the Gugalana song, which only had the line "Gugalana" in its lyrics.

Even Lin Qiao had a smile on her face... and silently took out her cell phone to start recording.

“…”

Oops!

Seeing that the worst idea had become a reality, Ishtar's face became more and more ugly as Gilgamesh laughed "Guhahaha" so hard that even his abdominal muscles showed.

Especially the mixed looks of expectation and admiration from other people...making a certain goddess feel even more guilty.

And as if he finally noticed that something was wrong with her, Gilgamesh stopped laughing.

"Why do you look so strange? Under normal circumstances, wouldn't you have already started to show off the power that doesn't belong to you...?"

"Nothing."

"?"

At this moment, the smile on Jin Shanshan's face disappeared.

"What did you say just now? I seemed to hear..."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I lost the Gujarana."

“…”

At this moment, except for Lin Qiao and the Leopard Man who seemed to be offline, no one could laugh anymore.

.....

Five minutes later, there were suddenly two fewer people in the hall.

The missing one was Ishtar, who was standing outside the temple crying while holding a clay tablet with the words "I am a useless goddess" written on it.

And the leopard man who was punched by Quetzalcoatl and flew hundreds of meters away because the network was disconnected and the song of Gugalana was too loud.

Siduri smiled bitterly as she comforted Ishtar who was still crying, while Gilgamesh, who was angry at the former, had a bitter look on his face.

"...Can you use that move you used on Tiamat again?"

As a last resort, I can only place my hope on Lin Qiao again.

At least as far as the black hole cannon that Lin Qiao had demonstrated before, even if its subsequent power was only one-tenth of its original power, it would be enough to delay Tiamat for another day.

only.....

"It's a pity. Although I personally have no problem, the complaint calls from Restraint are really annoying."

Leaning against the stone pillar, Lin Qiao shook his head.

The earthquake in Uruk before was not a normal natural phenomenon, it was really the planet shaking in fear.

In fact, not long after he fired the black hole cannon, Gaia's cries came flooding towards him.

For Gaia, what happened just now was no different from a normal person being hit by an anti-tank gun... If Lin Qiao's launch trajectory had been a little higher, the result would have been very exciting.

And the trouble is, it's not just Earth that has issues with this.

After all, judging from the complaint call that Gaia made to Lin Qiao, the wills of the other planets were also pretty frightened.

To be honest, no planet can withstand a head-on hit from this thing.

Therefore, if it really happens again, the wills of the other planets probably wouldn't mind letting her do a Wandering Earth act and completely get out of the solar system in order to protect themselves.

"Tsk, weak guy."

With a cold snort, one of the most ancient wise kings expressed his dissatisfaction with the restraining force.

But there is nothing he can do about this...otherwise, humans will be the ones to suffer.

Two days...

The problem once again came back to everyone's mind.

It would take Ereshkigal two days to complete the Cave of Death that would plunge Uruk into the underworld, but Tiamat would complete it after noon tomorrow and lead hundreds of millions of Lahmu to Uruk in a very short time.

In terms of time, it's too late...

No, wait!

While thinking about this question, Lixiang seemed to have thought of something, or grasped the key point.

She suddenly raised her head and met Lin Qiao's encouraging gaze.

——Just go ahead and say it.

As if she had taken a cardiac stimulant, the orange-haired girl nodded, then turned to look at the human-tall magic mirror.

“Ereshkigal, you just said that if we dig through the entire Uruk, it will take two days, right?”

“…I guess so…”

Facing Fujimaru Ritsuka's expectant gaze, Ereshkigal, feeling that she might not be able to help, lowered her head in shame, her hands nervously tugging at her red robe.

"But if we narrow the target to a certain area in Uruk that happens to be the perfect place for Tiamat to fall into the underworld, can we shorten the time to tomorrow noon?"

"Eh? Eh...if that's the case..."

Ereshkigal thought about it and realized that if she did as the other party said, she could do it at the pace of her work.

but.....

"How can it be so smooth? It's impossible that I just happened to hit the Cave of Death that would cause Tiamat to fall into the underworld..."

"No, it can be done!"

Before Ai Lei could say in despair that she couldn't do anything, Li Xiang interrupted her.

"Qiao can predict the future, so we can know Tiamat's route in advance and make preparations in advance."

Yes, with the ability to predict the future, they could just draw targets according to the landing point, and there was no need to dig through the entire Uruk.

In this way, with the workload greatly reduced, it is not impossible to dig a tunnel to the Cave of Death leading directly to Uruk before tomorrow noon.

"Very good, Fujimaru Ritsuka, you can come up with such a strategy in such a short time. You are much better than a useless goddess!"

“Gu…”
