The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Arrogance only exists when one cannot do something.

Once it is realized, arrogance is no longer arrogance, but a terrifying power.

Boom——

Boom——

The ground shook again.

Only this time, it's not the dreaded split, but the complete opposite.

After the ground that was separated by the Kur Kigal Irkalla (Spirit Peak Embracing the Bellows of the Underworld) was completely restored, Tiamat (the dragon) also set his sights completely on Ian.

“That’s too much—”

"He actually beat his mother violently."

"It seems..."

"We must be more proactive in integrating you into the ocean of life."

"Stubborn child, fight against the truth of creation (Nammu Duran)—!"

As Tiamat (the dragon) stretched out her hand toward the Sea of Life.

The ocean, which was originally moving slowly, suddenly began to boil again and surge forward.

Rahmu's body became quite large at this moment.

They grew wings and acquired sharper claws.

Dark shadows passed over everyone's heads and headed straight for the last wasteland world of Uruk.

This was a scene that looked like the end of the world, and it had now become a reality.

Gulong——

The sea of life raised waves as high as towering buildings, and then swallowed everything.

Even goddesses like Ishtar and Ereshkigal were not spared.

There is no escape.

This was the first time Ian had such a profound understanding of this word.

Gulong——

Gollum—

Gollum—

A few bubbles emerged from the sea of life.

That was Ian's reaction when he fell into the sea and was choked.

The man was still thinking about what would happen if his body was touched by the dark sea water.

did not expect……

I actually feel this way now.

It is a state that is neither painful nor sad.

Perhaps everything is just as Tiamat said - the Sea of Life is not here to destroy everything, it is just washing away the sins that appeared on the land of Uruk in its own way.

Ian thought so, not realizing that his cognition had been unknowingly changed by the Sea of Life.

All understandings gradually dissolved like substances in the sea water.

only--

"Is this really okay, my dear friend?"

"You who rejected the gods, you who shouldered the burden of Uruk, are you really going to watch this all end?"

"..."

Such a familiar voice.

but……

I can't remember who it was.

"My dear friend—"

"You can't just sleep like this—"

"Have you forgotten the promise you made back then—"

"You have to make this land become what you expect and what you want—"

"The stars shine, but not one belongs to the gods anymore."

"Don't go to sleep just yet, you still have things to do!"

Ian woke up suddenly, but what he saw was a scene that surprised him to the extreme.

In the dark sea, a body as conspicuous as the sun and the moon appeared.

A head of soft green hair, like willow branches, spread out in the sea.

There is only one person who can appear before him in this form.

That's Enkidu!

"My dear friend, you're awake—"

"Let's do what we're going to do!"

980. Meeting Enkidu at Sea / Final Answer from a Close Friend (4k)

Her green hair spread out like willow branches, standing out against the sea of black.

A pretty face and a body so slender that it is unforgettable.

This is Enkidu.

The Mesopotamian gods created a divine weapon to punish Ian.

only……

The weapon that should have killed the man was finally subdued because of the man himself.

finally--

Instead, it became the most powerful one in the fight against the Bull of Heaven.

"Enkidu, why are you here..."

The man looked at everything in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

Because he knows——

The girl in front of him had already died with him in the battle against the Bull of Heaven in order to protect Uruk in his previous memory.

So now...

"My dear friend, this kind of thing is not important."

Enkidu paddled his arms and swam in the sea of life, creating ripples.

Soon, she was completely in front of Ian.

It was a real touch, especially when Ian touched her fingers, a jolt of electric current came over her.

"Best friend—"

"Rather than trying to figure out how I came to be, shouldn't you be trying to figure out how to deal with this sea that's swallowing up all of Mesopotamia?"

"Everything we have shaped, the cities we have built, the people we care for, will be completely submerged in this torrent."

"can you accept?"

"..."

"No."

"Absolutely not."

The flame of survival flashed in Ian's eyes.

He felt that his consciousness had begun to resist Tiamat's sea of life until it became completely clear, without any mistake.

"I can't watch this happen."

"I knew you'd say that—"

Enkidu said this and held Ian's hand tightly in his own.

"Sure enough, my original choice was not wrong."

"Only kings like you are allowed to exist in Uruk."

"I'm really happy to hear you say that." Ian responded to Enkidu's praise, but his tone was a little sad. "But now... things have reached a point where it's hard to recover."

"I think if the Sea of Life continues to spread like this, it won't just be the entire Mesopotamian Plain that will be submerged, right?"

"Yes."

"And the human heart."

Enkidu spoke softly, but what he said was frightening.

"It is impossible for humans to survive in Tiamat's ocean. In this situation, the only acceptable form of life is Lahmu."

"All living things, after being baptized by the sea, will become Tiamat's 'children' and become true Lahmu."

"Wait, you mean..."

Ian recalled the alien creatures surrounding Tiamat.

"Could it be that... all the Lahms around Tiamat were once..."

"Don't blame them."

Enkidu, with a touch of the Sea of Life water, kissed Ian lightly on the cheek.

"When faced with despair like Tiamat, normal people would indeed behave in a way that resembles surrender."

"That's not their fault, it's our fault."

"If we could be their hope, then nothing would have happened, right?"

"..."

"really."

Ian couldn't deny what Enkidu said.

after all--

If only he had been able to defeat the Bull of Heaven with her, the monster that had been lurking on the Mesopotamian plains for years.

Then Ereshkigal’s plan would not have been terminated by his later visit.

All of this is actually a Möbius strip of cause and effect.

If you take one wrong step, all steps will be wrong.

"Enkidu, you are right. This is indeed not their fault."

"But we need to do something—"

Ian held Enkidu's shoulders on both sides.

"Enkidu, you know that."

“Before you want to do something, you must make sure whether it is necessary to do it.”

"I know, I know everything."

Enkidu did not resist Ian's slightly rough behavior, but let him hug his white shoulders.

"But——"

"We need to understand whether the people of Uruk have such a will."
