I really didn't want to burn it.

Boom boom boom!

One explosion after another burst in Tiamat's eyes. Although the power of each explosion was not high, the Gatling gun's rate of fire made up for the lack of firepower of a single bullet.

pain!

Explosive, excruciating pain!

Faced with Ishtar's Gatling gun attack, Tiamat had no choice but to close her eyes, her claws flailing wildly in front of her.

However, Tiamat, who had lost sight of Ishtar, couldn't hit her at all. Maanna's high-speed mobility made Tiamat feel like she was swatting a mosquito while wearing boxing gloves.

This made her extremely irritable.

"Very good, that's it!"

Ishtar curled her lips into a smile; she knew, of course, that she couldn't possibly inflict any decisive damage on Tiamat on her own.

"As long as we can harass him as much as possible, we can help Lord Li Ang recover as quickly as possible..."

"■■■■■■————!!"

Tiamat, annoyed by Ishtar's harassment, roared.

Upon hearing their mother's call, the Rakhmu who had gathered at the ark abandoned the ark and headed towards Ishtar.

"Oops!"

Ishtar looked distressed. With the new equipment Leon had given her, she was sure she could handle these monsters, but if she got distracted, who would take care of Tiamat?

"Let me do it."

Jingu stood up and sighed softly as he looked at Tiamat, who was turning to Leon once again.

"Mother, I'm sorry—the Chains of Heaven!"

"■?"

Tiamat looked up abruptly.

As King finished speaking, countless golden ripples appeared around Tiamat.

Chains shot out from the ripples, forming an iron net that bound her tightly.

Chapter 240 Humanity's Prayer

The interior of the Ark's cabin.

The ordinary people of Uruk, who were already trembling with fear inside the ship's cabins, looked even more apprehensive upon hearing the sounds outside.

Unable to climb onto the deck, they could only feel the ship shaking violently again and again.

Several people leaning against the windows tried to open them and peer into the fighting outside, hoping to find out what was happening.

However, due to the continuous influx of Rahmu from the outside, they could only open a crack.

Such a limited field of vision makes it impossible for anyone to grasp the situation of the battle; at most, one can see flashing golden light, dazzling lightning, and tangible sonic attacks.

The greatest source of fear is the unknown. They have no idea what happened on the Ark, and coupled with the recent massacre by monsters, the people of Uruk are in a state of extreme tension.

Not to mention that the battle between Leon and Tiamat caused the entire ship to be in a constant rocking environment, which was like adding insult to injury for these vulnerable people.

At this point, any slight disturbance could become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

In fact, this is the crucial moment when Gilgamesh or someone else is most needed to appease the masses.

Even if they are Servants from Chaldea.

As long as there are one or two people who can be the backbone, people's hearts can be at ease.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh was busy leading his Servants to clean up Lahm on the deck.

Although a few soldiers were trying their best to maintain basic order, they simply did not have enough prestige.

"Lord Utnabistim, please save us."

In the crowd, a young girl called out the name of the savior.

These words had a chain reaction; upon hearing the name of the savior, those around seemed to have finally found a pillar of support.

Yes, that hero who saved humanity from disaster, that name I heard countless times in my childhood, that great god who always saved everyone at the end of the story.

"Lord Utnabistim..."

The girl's voice grew softer and softer, but more and more voices rose from the crowd.

Some people prayed softly, while others shouted loudly with great energy.

“That’s right! We also have Lord Utnabistim!”

"Lord Utnabistim! Please defeat those monsters!"

"Please save the world once again, Lord Utnabistim!"

......

One voice after another, one prayer after another, gathered together, like starlight constantly gathering, eventually becoming that shining star called miracle.

"Ok?"

Li Ang, who was lying in the water on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see streaks of light, like shooting stars. All of these lights seemed to converge and implant themselves into his body.

No, this wasn't an illusion. Li Ang really saw a dazzling golden light enter his body.

The wound on his chest that Tiamat had torn open was healing at a visible speed, and Leon also found that his strength seemed to have become even greater.

The golden light increased, and the darkness of the sky became bright under its illumination.

"Is this... the power of faith?"

That is humanity's prayer!

The system explained.

One person's prayer is weak, but a group's is a different story! The survivors of Mesopotamia have placed their hopes on you, the host!

"That really... gets the blood pumping!"

Li Ang stood up, supporting himself on his knees with both hands.

[Host! Let's play one more round!]

"Of course!" Li Ang laughed as he picked up his battle axe. "With everyone having such high expectations, how could we let them down!"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

On the deck of the Ark, King held his breath and focused intently, trying his best to control the Chains of Heaven to restrain Tiamat.

Unfortunately, the skill gap between him and Tiamat was too great. Even the God-specific weapon, the Chains of Heaven, was no more sturdy than a strip of cloth for Tiamat.

Click!

Tiamat simply struggled, and the chains binding her shattered!

"■■■——!"

Tiamat growled softly, as if mocking Kingu.

"You think you can lock up your mother with something like this?"

Tiamat's disdainful gaze seemed to be saying just that.

"No, he has already fulfilled his purpose."

Leon's voice suddenly rang out above Tiamat.

The instant Tiamat looked up, a golden battle axe struck her directly in the cheek.

Boom!

The powerful force caused the battle axe to embed itself deeply into Tiamat's flesh.

"Mommy, let's continue!"

Li Ang, now fully recovered from his injuries, laughed heartily and pressed down on Tiamat's horns with both hands.

"■■■——!"

Tiamat opened her mouth, preparing to gather the magic power of the light cannon.

Boom!

Li Ang forcefully pushed Tiamat upwards with his knee, silencing her instantly.

"........."

Tiamat shook her head and struggled, but Leon's strength was unusually great this time, making it impossible for her to break free for a while.

"Hey, hurry up and use the Chains of Heaven again to help!"

On the ark, anxious Ritsuka gripped the railing and turned to shout to Kingo.

The stalemate between Leon and Tiamat was driving Ritsuka crazy.

"it's useless……"

Jingu slowly shook his head. "You saw it just now too. My Heavenly Lock can't hold Mother at all."

Because of Gilgamesh's intervention, Kingu is willing to temporarily side with Uruk.

However, Kingu, who did not witness Siduri's sacrifice for him, did not regain the memories of Enkidu within his body.

It was this emotion that prevented Kingu from turning his body into chains and sacrificing his life to bind Tiamat.

"I alone cannot control my mother."

"I can't help it," Jin Gu said helplessly.

Ritsuka pouted and complained, "You're so useless. Why did Gilgamesh bring you back to life?"

Veins bulged on Kingu's forehead as he gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and said, "Master of Chaldea, watch your words!"

"hehe."

Ritsuka gave a cold laugh, showing no mercy.

"you!"

Kingu was about to get angry, but Gilgamesh stopped him.

“Kingu, you said you couldn’t do it alone,” Gilgamesh asked. “Then can you do it with two people?”

"I don't know, but it's definitely better than before."

Because Gilgamesh was his savior, Kingu's tone towards Gilgamesh was noticeably better.

"Then get ready."

"what to prepare?"

"Wait a minute!" Ritsuka interrupted, "Leon is still fighting the giant monster! Aren't you going to help?"

"Don't worry, we've hired some help."

Gilgamesh laughed.

"Who?"

"Moo—!"

Ritsuka's response was a cow's moo.

Immediately afterwards, Ritsuka saw a golden bull, bigger than a small mountain, walking across the water.

The bull strides forward on all fours, running at top speed, its head held horizontally forward, its sharp horns aimed at Tiamat's rear...back.

Pfft!

The horns of the Heavenly Bull entered Tiamat's body.

"Moo—!"

The Bull of the Sky raised its head forcefully, sending Tiamat flying.
