I really didn't want to burn it.

"There's no other way, the situation is urgent."

Gilgamesh sighed; he wasn't unaware of these things.

Having experienced modern society, he understands better how an efficient government should be established.

However, Gilgamesh's knowledge did not equate to the knowledge of others in Uruk, nor did the others meet Gilgamesh's standards.

In short, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, which perfectly describes Gilgamesh's current situation.

If Gilgamesh had the time, he might try to cultivate talent gradually.

But now that Uruk has become a singularity, Jill is even less willing to delegate power and can only shoulder everything alone.

Li Ang snorted coldly: "You'd better be careful, or you might work yourself to death one day."

“It’s alright, you’re still here, aren’t you?” Gilgamesh said calmly. “If I fall, Uruk will be yours.”

"Don't even think about it, do your own job!"

Li Ang glared at him.

"Thank you so much for today, Lord Utnabistim!"

Siduli bowed warmly to Li Ang.

Gilgamesh, feeling a pang of jealousy, reminded her, "Hey, Siduri. Don't give this guy a hard time."

"I don't want to be lectured by some king who abandons his duties and sneaks away."

Siduri turned her head away, refusing to look at Gilgamesh.

"Well……"

Gilgamesh twitched his eyebrows in annoyance; based on experience, he knew he had been looked down upon by his own high priest.

Leon smiled smugly, which made Gilgamesh even angrier.

"Siduli, I'll leave the matter to you."

Leon deliberately ignored Gilgamesh and only spoke to Siduri.

"Rest assured, Lord Utnabistim," Siduri replied with a smile, "I will make sure the entire city of Uruk is on the lookout."

The task Li Ang entrusted to Siduli was, of course, to find the Old Man of the Mountain.

However, neither Leon nor Gilgamesh had any hope for this matter anymore; having the Uruk people search for it was merely a wishful thinking, better than nothing.

"Hey, Li Ang."

Gilgamesh reminded Leon, who was preparing to leave.

"If that old man really doesn't join the battle, then for Mother, we can only recreate the myth. Do you understand what I mean?"

"you sure?"

Leon thought Gilgamesh was absolutely insane.

Marduk holds a unique and supreme position in Mesopotamian mythology because he directly defeated Tiamat.

In contrast to Marduk, the other gods hid and trembled in fear when faced with Tiamat's invasion.

“If we don’t have Marduk, we’ll just create one ourselves,” Gilgamesh said firmly. “You can’t just give up because you can’t win, can you? If you keep doing things this way, there will never be a battle in the world where the few win against the many.”

"I'll go back and think about it."

Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then left after saying a few words.

"Li Ang, you are a hero in the hearts of people in this era."

Gilgamesh said seriously.

"The title 'Utnabistim' carries far more weight than you might imagine!"

"This isn't the first time I've encountered someone who has expectations placed upon me by the people, so of course I know the meaning of being a hero."

Leon stopped in his tracks, turned back to look at Gilgamesh, and said, word by word.

“Gilgamesh, if things really come to the last moment, I will let the people of Uruk onto my ship. At least that way, the flame of humanity can be preserved.”

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Uruk at night.

In a remote corner of the city, the lights were still on in a very ordinary bungalow.

This is where Leon stayed in Uruk. Now that the city is almost half empty, it's not difficult to find an empty room.

Earlier, when they parted, Siduri suggested that Leon stay in a more luxurious place. Leon refused, fearing that he would be discovered by the Chaldeans.

At this moment, DD was sitting quietly under the lamp, holding a clay tablet in his hands and carefully reading the myths and legends of Mesopotamia recorded on it.

This girl learns very quickly; she's already using the dictionary Li Ang gave her to look up stories recorded in cuneiform script.

Li Ang, meanwhile, sat opposite DD, his fingers slid across the air, lost in thought.

Li Ang appeared to be acting erratically, but in reality, he was searching for usable items in the capabilities catalog of the mourning system.

[Host, how about trying Big Ivan?]

The system suggested this to Li Ang.

Li Ang retorted directly, "Are you sick...? Not to mention I don't have enough points to redeem this thing, even if I did manage to get it, how would I use it?"

According to the usual practice of the condolence system, when you exchange for nuclear warheads, you only get the nuclear warheads, not the launch platform.

In other words, Leon had to detonate the nuclear warhead himself, risking the complete annihilation of Uruk.

At that time, we will turn Mesopotamia into a radiation zone.

What should I do next?

How can civilization develop in such a place?

This isn't called repairing a singularity; it's called nuclear pacification of a singularity, and it's the kind that pacifies humanity along with it.

Of course, if it were possible to trade Ivan the Great for Tima the Elder, Li Ang would accept it.

The worst thing is that the nuclear warheads are useless; that would be a real problem.

Judging from the original story, there is a very high chance that a nuclear bomb wouldn't kill Tiamat.

Think about it, how many Noble Phantasms did Tiamat go through from her first appearance to the destruction of her Spirit Origin in the Underworld?

All of these Noble Phantasms are at least A++ level. Even though they can't match the destructive range of a nuclear bomb and don't have nuclear radiation, their destructive power to their targets is absolutely no less than that of a nuclear bomb.

As for the so-called nuclear radiation, Li Ang felt that it was no obstacle at all to Ti Ma's EX-level [self-modification].

“Nuclear weapons are definitely out of the question; what I need more is a conceptual weapon of attack,” Li Ang muttered to himself. “If only I could summon Ryougi Shiki.”

Unfortunately, Leon had already asked Koyanskaya before coming to Uruk.

Both the original Holy Grail from Uruk and the Holy Grail from Solomon have already reached their maximum capacity for summoning Heroic Spirits.

It's impossible to get them to summon Servants again, not even by retrieving their Spirit Origins.

Therefore, all Li Ang can do is try to integrate the existing forces and launch an attack on Ti Ma.

However, the current situation is really not optimistic.

Tiamat, the boss, is quite different from other enemies and even other Beasts. She has the skills of "Self-Modification" and "Anti-Genesis". Tiamat can nullify most attacks and quickly adapt to any combat environment.

In other words, Tiamat is a powerful boss who keeps getting stronger.

At first, Chaldea thought that removing the black mud beneath her feet would stop her advance, but Tiamat retaliated with flight, forcing Chaldea to knock her back to the ground.

Chaldea then thought that casting her into the underworld would kill Tiamat, but Tiamat transformed into a dragon from black mud and attempted to spread her wings to escape the underworld.

In the end, it was the Mountain Elder, a Grand Servant, who cut off Tiamat's wings and simultaneously gave her the concept of death.

Then there were Merlin and Gil, two Grand Slam candidates, one playing support and the other finishing off enemies.

This doesn't even include the damage output from other Servants, Mash's support, and Ritsuka's sword attack to break through Tiamat's Reality Marble.

Looking at it this way, Tiamat is arguably the most difficult Beast to deal with among the ones that have appeared so far.

Even the Beast I Goetia, which destroys human reason, still has Romani as a specific trump card.

However, Beast II Tiamat has no fatal weakness and can only fight head-on.

Li Ang was well aware of the two most important challenges in dealing with Tiamat.

One is that Tiamat's skin is too thick, so attacks below A++ have no effect. On top of that, her [Anti-Genesis] Noble Phantasm can also create a barrier against Servants classified as "human" and "star".

If the problem of Tiamat's tortoise shell could be solved by recreating the attack methods from the original work, then the second difficulty was the real problem that tormented Li Ang.

That is Tiamat's immortality.

Without the Old Man of the Mountain cutting away Tiamat's immortality, all other attacks are meaningless.

But aside from the old man of the mountain, the ancestor of assassins, and Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Li Ang couldn't think of a way to conceptually remove the immortality of an immortal being.

"Master, perhaps the stories in mythology can give you some inspiration."

DD pondered for a moment and then said.

She placed one piece in front of Li Ang and pointed to one section, saying...

The above records how Marduk defeated Tiamat.

"If we could achieve that..."

"No, the premise for doing this is..."

Suddenly, Li Ang thought of something. He first looked through his Servant abilities, and then searched through the ability catalog of the Mourning System.

"Fire... wind... and arrows... if all these conditions are met, it might really be possible."

Li Ang's eyes lit up.

"DD, you really are my good maid, my savior!"

After saying that, Li Ang hugged DD tightly, pressed the two of them together, and kissed her lips forcefully.

After they separated, DD, panting, whispered in Li Ang's ear, half complaining and half coquettish.

"It tastes like fish all over."

That's obvious, we ate fish for dinner.

Chapter 206 The Beauty and Ugliness of Humanity

In the early morning, the sun slowly rises from the east.

From an inconspicuous little house in Uruk came the sound of a woman's murmur.

"Master, are you awake?"

"I can't help but ask," DD asked weakly, lying on the bed.

"Yes, I'm awake. Did I wake you?"

Li Ang rubbed his neck and said to DD.

"Hmm... I should get up too."

DD tried to sit up, but Li Ang pressed him back down.

"You should sleep a little longer," Li Ang said firmly.

Although last night wasn't the maid's first time, Li Ang's A+ stamina was no joke.

After several rounds last night, DD wasn't in very good condition, so Li Ang decided to let the little maid rest more.

DD originally wanted to persevere a little longer, but as soon as she moved her lower body, the tingling sensation in her legs made her give up immediately.

"Then I'll lie down for a while longer."

The maid frowned and said with a hint of arrogance.

Seeing this, Li Ang couldn't help but laugh.

The maid immediately glared at him, and Li Ang quickly wiped the corner of his mouth.

"You said it yourself last night that there was no problem."
