My mother's love song

Chapter 085 Genesis [Origin] and Revelation [End]

Alice got under the tea table, and Rhodes quickly held down her hand that was resting on her leg.

"Slow down, Ellie... Stop for a moment. I have something important to tell you."

The Lady of Winter raised her beautiful moist eyes and said, "Can't we do both things at the same time?"

"Um...please."

Rhodes took his hand away, placed it gently on her head, and spoke slowly.

"Morgan's familiar observed the Tohsaka family contacting Master Rider privately, and they are probably trying to form an alliance against us.

Caster, Lancer, and I all agree that the next battle will be the final one, so I feel it is necessary to tell you about this.

To be honest, I was not listening to the topic about my origins.

……

……

……

Later, at half past one in the morning

The sleeping streets were even quieter than usual.

The asphalt road was illuminated pale by the street lights in the cold winter night.

There was not even a shadow of a car in the street, but a horse passed through the sleepy street as if no one was around.

Iskandar rode his black horse leisurely to the bridge shrouded in the night.

"Ohhh...are we here already? You're really on time."

Rider raised his head.

Even though he was on a bridge as bright as day, the enemy, surrounded by a strong aura, was still shining brightly with golden light.

Although he had just suffered his first defeat in his life, the arrogance in his eyes was still as strong as before.

Archer, Hero King Gilgamesh

The original Hero King and the legendary Conqueror King chose the most conspicuous and majestic Fuyuki Bridge in the city as the meeting place for the two.

If it weren't for this place, there wouldn't be enough room for the demeanor of these two kings.

Bucephalus, the King of Conquerors' beloved horse, seemed to have understood his master's will and stopped running.

Rider stroked the horse's mane, then dismounted and walked leisurely towards the Hero King who was waiting for him.

Archer also approached proudly, as if he had made an appointment in advance.

"Rider, where is the chariot you are so proud of?"

Gilgamesh asked.

"Ah, that. Um, sorry... the chariot was destroyed by someone else. And he left before I could get revenge. I'm really angry."

Iskandar shrugged calmly, while Gilgamesh narrowed his bloodshot eyes and looked at him unhappily.

"...Have you forgotten my decision? I should have said that I will defeat you when you are in perfect condition."

"Well, it sounds like that's the case."

Rider sneered at Archer's intimidation, twisted his lips with an extremely bold and ferocious smile, and said.

"My equipment has indeed been consumed, but your situation is even worse, King of Heroes. Didn't you lose your strongest trump card?"

The strongest trump card he was referring to was naturally the Kaitian Sword EA that was taken away by Rhodes.

After Iskandar mentioned the Hero King's treasure, Gilgamesh's expression became noticeably stiff, and he quickly spoke.

"Well... never mind, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about our alliance first."

The content of the fight between Toosaka and Waver, and the alliance between the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors is actually very simple.

That is, the expansion that all Fate fans have imagined when they first read FZ.

Combine the [King's Army] of the King of Conquerors and the [King's Treasure] of the King of Heroes.

With an invincible army that spans Europe and Asia and genuine treasures, we will build the strongest army in human history.

The strongest Hero King and the strongest Conqueror King will lead this army together and wipe out the remaining enemies in Einzbern Castle.

"After defeating the sons of Babylon the Great..."

Gilgamesh said calmly, "I will fulfill our agreement and kill you as you wish, Rider."

"Hey, Archer. Let's get back to our agreement. We also made another agreement at the previous banquet."

Gilgamesh showed a confused expression, only to see the giant man urged.

"You still have some wine left in your drink? Don't try to hide it from me."

"As expected of the King of Usurpation, you care so much about your allies' things."

The Hero King smiled bitterly as he fetched a full set of golden wine utensils from the treasury and poured all the remaining God-era wine at the bottom of the bottle into two wine glasses without leaving a single drop.

The two kings solemnly clinked their glasses together, like boxers clasping their fists.

"King of Babylon, you have changed a lot in just a few days."

"If you say something stupid again, I will kill you. Nothing in my past, present, or future will change."

Gilgamesh looked at him with contempt, but his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.

"No, it's true. I really think so."

"Um, so what?"

"For example, if it was you a few days ago." Iskandar frowned.

"When I ask you if you want to form an alliance with me and we fight to the end of the starry sea, you will surely slap your thigh and say, 'This is the funniest joke I have ever heard' while laughing out loud."

"..."

The giant's delicate thoughts and words left the Golden King speechless.

Gilgamesh was silent for a while, then spoke calmly.

"This world does not need two kings. And, I do not need a second friend. However, this is an exception."

The King of Heroes' answer aroused the King of Conquerors' curiosity, and he asked after taking a swig from his wine glass.

“Hey… the boy you fought with earlier, the boy who took away the Knight King… who is he?

What kind of opponent could force the proud Hero King to form an alliance with me?"

"..."

Gilgamesh turned his head silently and looked towards the bottom of Fuyuki Bridge.

Something appeared in his eyes with his brows slightly furrowed.

What was reflected in those red eyes was not only the rushing Miyuan River.

At this moment, he saw the more distant past.

The oldest hero king recalled the legend he had heard when he was a child.

After that, he uttered a word that shook the King of Conquerors' soul.

Oceanus.

"…………ha!?"

Iskandar was puzzled.

Gilgamesh showed genuine emotion for the first time tonight, and sighed as if he felt the same way.

"King of Conquerors... That boy is the 'Sea at the End of the World' that you have been searching for your entire life."

……

……

……

Looking down at the cute whorl of hair on Irisviel's head, Rhode spoke.

"Hey... Ellie, do you know the Sumerian mythology that originated in Mesopotamia?"

He believed that his true identity would be exposed to Irisviel and Lancer in the upcoming battle, so he decided to give them some psychological preparation in advance.

"Hmm... (nods vaguely)"

Rhodes stroked his mercury-like hair while steadying his breath.

“Legend has it that humans once experienced a catastrophe that led to their extinction: the Great Flood.

Enlil, lord of the wind and king of the gods, thought humans were too noisy, so he sent floods, droughts, and plagues to destroy them.

However, Enki, the kind-hearted water god, taught Arahasis the knowledge of irrigation, grain storage, and medicine, which enabled mankind to survive.

Enlil was very angry and decided to secretly summon several gods to release a huge flood to completely exterminate mankind. However, Enki still knew about it and arranged for Utánapisthin to take a boat to take refuge. Later, he gave Utánapisthin the power of immortality and asked him to live in seclusion in the mountains.

Enlil was furious and accused Enki of obstructing his plans, but Enki explained to him that in order to maintain a necessary balance, innocent humans should not be completely exterminated, and the remaining humans should just be sterilized.

But on the other hand, if humans do not believe in gods and become corrupt, they can be slaughtered by the gods.

The above is the earliest version of the Great Flood recorded by humans. "

Rhode touched Irisviel's cheek and drank a sip of black tea as he said this with a dry mouth.

“In fact, it’s not just the Mesopotamian Plain, many places on Earth experienced great floods in ancient times.

It can be called synchronicity. Ah... If you don't know what synchronicity is, go read "Baki".

In short, except for the Mesopotamian civilization, the Chinese civilization, Mayan civilization, Indian civilization... these ancient civilizations all have similar records of humans experiencing extinction floods.

Of course, the most famous passage in the world is the one in the Bible.

Because humans had done too much evil on earth, Jehovah decided to exterminate humans with a flood in order to cleanse this sinful old world.

This is the story of Noah’s Ark recorded in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament.”

In the Bible, which is full of red tape, the two most important books have a transcendent status.

The Book of Genesis in the Old Testament records the beginning of all things in the world.

The Book of Revelation in the New Testament predicts the end of the world.

"……Well."

Irisviel raised her beautiful face, smoothed her messy bangs, and took a breath.

"So, Lord Rhodes, what does your life experience have to do with the Great Flood?"

“Well… how should I put this?”

Rhodes scratched behind his ear and said sheepishly.

"Actually... although I'm not 100% sure, I think... I'm probably the Great Flood."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what Lord Rhodes is talking about at all... Huwu."

Irisviel carefully lowered her head again.

……

……

……

In a small country called Macedonia in faraway Greece, a young monarch usurped the throne from his biological father and instantly swept over countless neighboring countries.

Iskandar

It is said that his ambition even crossed the strait and attempted to get involved in the Persian Empire.

Of course, none of the brave men who are loyal to protect the glorious motherland will bow down before the invaders.

The warriors risked their dignity and honor as soldiers and launched a counterattack against the Iskandar army.

However, the high morale of the Macedonian army frightened them so much that they trembled with fear in the end.

It was neither for the will of God nor for the call of justice, but just to satisfy a tyrant's desire for conquest.
