In an instant, she thought of what she could do.
Even though it was just insignificant things.
But these outsiders who offended the Goddess Ishtar were still enemies that had to be dealt with.
Even if her power was weak.
At the very least, she had to do what she could here.
"Roar—!!"
As if listening to Haruri's wish.
Humbaba roared again.
It turned its gaze to Jack the Ripper and the female assassin on the ground, and the seven-colored rainbow light gathered once more.
Haruri, on the other hand, was facing a showdown in destiny.
She was going to fight Kiritsugu Emiya.
Snowfield, Industrial Area.
Alcides observed the situation in the forest through his excellent vision, as well as Enkidu's harpoon attacks.
"Not a god, but a relic of a god, huh…"
Alcides muttered, staring at the Bull of Heaven.
Due to Enkidu's attacks.
This caused Ishtar to change the nature of the air, which also reduced the power of the arrows he shot.
However, he didn't consider this a hindrance.
"You beasts are only fit to meet the same end as Augeas."
Alcides's gaze remained fixed on the Bull of Heaven entangled by poisonous snakes, as well as the Venus Goddess and her temple.
He activated his Noble Phantasm [Twelve Glories (King's Order)]
The poisonous snake incarnations created by those rapid-fire arrows exploded like water balloons as soon as they reached the forest.
And then transformed into a jet-black torrent, beginning to devour the forest.
Among the various trials Alcides encountered in his lifetime, there was one called "Augeas' Stables."
King Augeas wanted him to clean the enormous stables, which housed three thousand cattle and hadn't been cleaned for decades, in a single day.
More than a trial, it was more like a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
Augeas gave such a request but then went back on his word, eventually dying at his hands—but the essence of the story doesn't lie there.
The reason he was able to clean the never-before-cleaned stables in just one day was actually quite simple, just beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Alcides used brute force to change the course of two rivers near the stables, directing the torrent directly into the location of the stables.
Now, he uses the power of his Noble Phantasm to recreate that plundered torrent, symbolizing the power to achieve this great feat, and infuses it with the miasma of poisonous snakes and the magical power of "mud," turning it into a black flood that rushes into the forest.
Inside the forest, in front of Ishtar's temple.
What is displayed before their eyes is reality.
What they are witnessing is the truth of the new world.
As if it were an alternation of dreams and reality, a scene that only existed in theatrical stories was unfolding with a bang.
The Calamity Typhoon incarnated by the Bull of Heaven.
The shadows of death devouring all things in the universe.
The Venus Goddess painting the world with the colors of a god.
And, that turbid torrent washing through the divine domain, as if from hell, defiling everything in the world.
It was as if a Pandora's Box containing common sense and human wisdom had been accidentally overturned, and the irrationality of this world appeared before their eyes.
As if declaring that anyone who trespassed, whether Heroic Spirit or magical creature, was nothing more than a speck of dust without the qualifications.
Kiritsugu Emiya understood this more deeply than anyone else.
Saving the world? Upholding beliefs?
All of this was like a child's play in the face of such an unreasonable and violent force.
Laughable, humble, insignificant!
Even unable to exert the strength to push a pebble, he could fall into this vortex at any time and drown in it.
Kiritsugu Emiya witnessed Maiya being directly swallowed by the black flood, with no room for struggle at all.
He didn't even have time to grieve, and had to avoid the constantly descending "natural disasters."
This was an unexpected situation.
It was also an extremely logical situation.
In the face of this natural disaster, humans were no more than dust, so how could an ant shake a tree?
Death treats everyone equally.
In fact, it wasn't that Kiritsugu Emiya, as a human, was incapable, but that he had stepped into a vortex he shouldn't have.
This was not a domain that humans could set foot in.
Unfortunately, Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't even retreat from this vortex now.
The goddess's high priestess had her eyes fixed on him.
Jack the Ripper was doing his best to fight Humbaba, while also trying to send him out of the flood.
The result, of course, goes without saying.
In this vortex of natural disasters where simply touching it meant death, there were too many things they had to guard against.
With one moment of carelessness, Jack was hit by the seven-colored rainbow light.
Not only did the rainbow light have its own terrifying power, but Jack was also infected with a plague that even Gilgamesh was helpless against.
In the end, all he could do was send Kiritsugu Emiya away.
Then he was swallowed by the black flood.
"Guh…"
Kiritsugu Emiya sensed through the Command Seal.
The moment Jack the Ripper was swallowed by the black flood, his magical connection with him was completely severed.
This situation most likely meant he had been eliminated.
Now, he had even lost his trump card Servant, and the only person left to fight was himself.
In this situation, he was also facing Haruri.
Seeing the situation take such a sharp turn for the worse, Kiritsugu Emiya could only manage a self-deprecating smile.
He had long expected that he would only die on the battlefield.
And that he wouldn't have a good end.
But he didn't expect the ending to be so insignificant, dying here like an ant.
——Perhaps, this is the consequence of me presumptuously turning myself into a scale that judges the lives of others with my own thoughts.
"…"
Kiritsugu Emiya stared at Haruri, who was exuding divine aura.
At the same time, he raised the single-shot pistol in his hand.
This was a Mystic Code that had been with him since his debut, and had taken the lives of countless magus families.
With just one shot, it could end the foundation of a magus.
Its name was—Origin Bullet.
"Kiritsugu Emiya… do you remember Odd Borzak…!?"
Haruri asked through gritted teeth.
Facing one of the main causes of the destruction of her family, she still chose to suppress her anger and ask the question.
