After landing, the girl vaguely sensed something was wrong with her.

For example, her hands, which were still trembling slightly.

Hatsune Miku silently stared at her right hand.

It was that very moment before.

With her right hand, she herself held Nathos and pierced Cain's heart.

Although Cain is probably not completely dead, he should have returned to his original world by now.

But that still counts as taking someone's life.

So far, I have indeed eliminated countless monsters, but they were ultimately just creatures like monsters and demons.

For someone as thoroughly human as Cain, this was the first time he had ever personally pierced his heart.

…ah.

The thought of such a situation made the girl's throat tremble slightly, and she frowned unhappily.

"Even after so many battles, you still can't get used to it...?"

Taking the lives of the enemy on the battlefield—this is something that cannot be avoided.

Hatsune Miku herself is well aware of this.

Yet, I still can't help but feel an instinctive aversion and discomfort towards such things.

"Miss Hatsune!!"

Consciousness was brought back by the voice calling.

She looked ahead and saw two familiar figures rushing towards her from the deserted streets of Uruk in the distance.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew.

After confirming the situation of the two, she smiled again and adjusted her mood.

They walked in the direction the two of them were heading.

"Matthew, Ms. Fujimaru, are you alright...?"

"Yes! Thanks to everyone's all-out effort in the battle, Tiamat has finally been... completely defeated!"

For this era, it is the resolution of the anomaly.

For the two from Chaldea, this also marked the end of their mission.

Their purpose in coming here is to eradicate the source of this anomaly.

"Where are the others? Where did everyone go?"

"Miss Anna, Quetzal, and Ishtar are all in the temple! Oh! And Miss Siduri and King Gilgamesh! They're both here too!"

"Miss Ereshkigal in the underworld, although she suffered a great blow, managed to hold on with all her might!"

This means that almost everyone survived.

Hatsune Miku immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly smiled.

"Very good…"

"Yes, everyone is very satisfied with this result..."

“…What about that one?”

While Matthew and Hatsune Miku both wore expressions of joy and emotion, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the girl with some confusion.

Where is Accelerator?

"Huh? Come to think of it, that's true. Although I saw Hatsune Miku, I couldn't find that gentleman..."

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about him. He's just a little shy, so he doesn't dare to come and meet everyone so directly."

Shy...?

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew both blinked after hearing those words.

"Um, although it's rude to say this, but... Mr. Accelerator, can you be shy too?"

"--puff!"

When Hatsune Miku was described with the word "Matthew," she couldn't help but laugh.

"Matthew... do you really think of Accelerator as one of those scary monster characters from horror movies?!"

"No...it's just that, because of Accelerator's aura all along, it's always been somewhat..."

"Anyway, it's alright. Let's go to the temple where King Gilgamesh is first. He'll definitely be here soon!"

---------------------------------

Inside the temple, Gilgamesh sat alone on his throne.

In his own prediction of the future, he was supposed to die.

But that outcome was changed.

Wang slowly opened his eyes, his beautiful, blood-red pupils staring straight ahead.

"…snort."

He gave a barely perceptible laugh.

And then he looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Even at this final filming location, you still appear before me in such an abrupt manner?"

"You have truly shattered my preconceived notions about you time and time again."

Standing there was someone with eyes of the same color as his.

With white hair and red eyes, she's number one in Academy City.

Chapter 644 The End and the Beginning of Chaos?

Siduli is still in charge of the evacuation of citizens.

Therefore, there are only these two people in the temple now.

Looking directly at the person before him who shared an almost identical aura with him, Gilgamesh initially said nothing, but calmly removed his hand from his chin.

The two gazed at each other silently.

"The evacuation of citizens in Uruk is almost complete. Thanks to Siduri's help, otherwise I would still be busy on my own."

"so what?"

Accelerator asked nonchalantly.

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly.

"...In the future that I see, Siduri does not exist."

clairvoyance.

With such abilities, the Golden King, who could see into the future, probably foresaw the entire ending from the very beginning.

However, the future has now been changed.

The changes were so drastic that even Gilgamesh had forgotten what the future was originally like.

Siduri will die, everyone in Uruk except myself will die, no... I'm afraid even I will disappear, and the entire Uruk will perish.

But nevertheless.

That kind of future no longer exists.

"Without your preparations and the girl who stayed in Uruk to help the people here protect the land, things would probably never have turned out this way."

"So, you came all this way just to wait for me to thank you? You were so sure I'd come, instead of just turning around and running away?"

"Well... although what these far-seeing eyes have seen during this period is mostly a future that has not yet happened, they can still accurately predict things of this magnitude."

He nodded, as if confirming something.

"I once intended to present you with the Great Cup of Uruk, but upon reflection, I realized it was inappropriate. That thing should have been a gift for those guys like Fujimaru Ritsuka..."

"What are you doing? I never said I wanted you to give me anything or anything like that."

"Don't say that. It's rare to meet someone whose personality is somewhat similar to mine when I was young. It would be a real shame not to do something meaningful with him."

then.

Under Accelerator's watchful gaze, golden ripples appeared around the King of Uruk.

"I am giving you something of such great significance."

It shimmered with golden light and fell into his palm.

…That was something that even Accelerator had never seen before, nor had he ever expected to have such a thing fall into his hands.

an apple.

The whole thing was enveloped in golden light, as if it were gold itself, with golden fruits scattered everywhere with golden dust.

"Don't tell me that a mere fruit can have any significant meaning."

"Hahahaha! To actually describe the golden apple that even the gods crave as just a mere fruit, in the eyes of those gods, your audacity is simply outrageous!"

Gilgamesh found it very amusing and burst into laughter.

"The legendary treasure that the Hesperides guarded in the garden of Hera, the queen of the gods, was once stolen by Hercules and represented by the eleventh of his twelve trials."

"It is said that as long as you eat it, you can stay young forever and keep your body and soul firmly at their peak... However, such things are just rumors. No one has actually tried to eat this fruit to this day."

That should belong to a legendary item from Greek mythology, and should never appear in the hands of Gilgamesh, who is currently in Mesopotamia.

All of this is because the treasures in the Gate of Babylon that it possesses are the prototypes of these mythical artifacts.

"As the origin of the golden apple myth in Greek mythology, this fruit is valuable enough to cause chaos among the gods, isn't it?"

"Then it's even less likely that this kind of thing should be given to me. I can't see any point in leaving it to someone like me."

Accelerator couldn't understand why Gilgamesh would give him this golden apple.

He had absolutely no interest in things like rejuvenation or eternal youth.

but.

Thinking back, he couldn't help but fall silent after realizing that he still had a doll given to him by a girl from the previous world in his inventory.

"take it."

Gilgamesh chuckled softly, as if he had seen through something.

"Since I'm giving it to you, I must have my reasons. Perhaps this seemingly insignificant thing will actually prove to be of great value to you in the future?"

"What a troublesome thing."

That's what it says.

The first one finally did not refuse King Gilgamesh's request again.

He took the fruit, and the moment he held it, he felt a refreshing coolness emanating from the apple, like eating a mint, a feeling of comfort throughout his body.

The golden apple flashed a few times before disappearing into the hands of the first-place player.

"So, you're planning to leave Uruk... no, you're planning to leave this Age of Gods completely, aren't you?"

"of course."

"...Aren't you going to say goodbye to the others?"

Watching Accelerator slowly leave the main hall, Gilgamesh asked him a question.

The figure simply waved casually.

"That's it."

King Gilgamesh sighed softly.

No one knows what the future holds, as seen by the all-seeing eye.

…both for the world and for the future of humanity.

"From our conversation, I can tell that you really enjoyed your time in this city called Uruk."
