"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Divine Authority Seals spewed artillery fire, not only defending the Boundary Field but also sending shells through it, landing amidst the Lahmu horde!
"Boom!"
Because the Lahmu were so densely packed, the shells exploded on impact, creating an extremely bloody scene. Fortunately, these Lahmu would turn into specks of light and vanish after dying, otherwise, the area in front of Uruk would already be piled high with corpses.
The shelling continued for about 10 minutes.
"Crack! Crack, crack, crack!"
The once-transparent Boundary Field now had numerous cracks. The Philosopher's Stones used to set it up had mostly depleted their energy and dimmed.
Finally!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Boundary Field shattered! But before it broke, five elemental spirits rushed out and self-destructed!
These were artificial spirits, programmed to perform specific actions. When the Boundary Field was destroyed, it was their moment to self-destruct.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five elemental blossoms erupted, clearing a massive area of the approaching Lahmu!
Many Lahmu were stunned by the explosions, flailing around like headless chickens in the air. Before they could react!
Gilgamesh held a stone tablet Magecraft book. His Mana and mental power were already connected to these Divine Authority Seals. He had crafted all of them himself, so he was intimately familiar with them.
"Witness true artillery fire!"
"Rumble!"
All the Divine Authority Seals sprang into action, firing a volley! The sky outside Uruk's city gates instantly transformed into a golden domain! A golden artillery domain!
Seeing this, Benkei clasped his hands together and understood!
"Now that's true salvation. I am not worthy."
After two rounds of shelling, not many of the attacking Lahmu remained.
After spending a minute dealing with the remaining stragglers, Mo Shuying pulled out a large handful of Philosopher's Stones and began "recharging" the Temple.
It took only two minutes. Another Boundary Field barrier flashed into existence, then disappeared.
However, they expected the Lahmu to continue their assault, but after being completely wiped out, none of the Lahmu attacked first. They stayed docilely by Tiamat's side, clearly intimidated.
"They're such cowards. And these are the 'new humans'?"
Mo Shuying curled his lip, utterly contemptuous of these Lahmu. He had previously thought that with so many Lahmu, Uruk would be destroyed even without Tiamat needing to act. Who knew... they were scared to death.
"They're only creatures born a few days ago. How could they compare to humans? Tiamat will arrive soon, Mo Shuying. I will do my utmost to stop them. The command responsibilities after that are yours."
Gilgamesh spoke, his eyes reflecting trust in Mo Shuying and confidence in himself.
Mo Shuying nodded, then asked, "Why does that sound like you're entrusting me with your dying wish?"
"..."
Gilgamesh glared at Mo Shuying, then looked at the now very close Tiamat.
The stone tablet book he held in his hand glowed golden. The artillerymen who had been controlling the Divine Authority Seals all departed. All 360 Divine Authority Seals would be controlled by Gilgamesh alone!
"Come! Now let Tiamat witness Uruk's spirit! My resolve will permeate the land! Accept humanity's counterattack, Tiamat!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Artillery roared in unison. Golden cannon fire streaked across the sky like a meteor shower, flying over the already burning earth! Then, it slammed fiercely into the area in front of Tiamat!
Only a small number of shells hit Tiamat in the first round. It wasn't that Gilgamesh's aim was off, but there were too many Lahmu around Tiamat!
These Lahmu had also shielded Tiamat from the gunfire. In that sense, they were quite filial.
"Hmph, watch as I destroy all of you!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Then, round after round of cannon fire erupted. Gilgamesh unleashed his Mana wildly. Uruk's stored Mana poured into Gilgamesh's body, making the artillery fire even more furious!
"Ah! Gahahahaha!"
Under this barrage, the Lahmu that had been surrounding Tiamat began to scatter.
They moved away from Tiamat, seemingly afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Tiamat roared, whether expressing its anger or not. But after Tiamat cried out, countless Lahmu charged towards Uruk! Launching a full-scale assault on Uruk!
"These annoying creatures!"
Mo Shuying raised his Elemental Demonic Sword, preparing to unleash a spectacular Noble Phantasm on these Lahmu!
But Gilgamesh stopped him.
"You don't need to act! Leave this to me! It's enough!"
Gilgamesh bellowed, a golden halo expanding behind him! And! The sheer number was astonishing!
The Gate of Babylon opened, projecting countless Noble Phantasms that, under Gilgamesh's control, continuously shot down the incoming Lahmu.
Not only Noble Phantasms, but most significantly, a solar boat emerged from the halo—the unmanned Vimana!
"I bestow upon you a big one!"
Gilgamesh grinned broadly as the Vimana flew off on its own! It rapidly plunged into the Lahmu horde, ignoring their attacks, its ventral hatch opening to drop a golden orb of light!
"Boom!"
The moment the light orb appeared, the Vimana throttled to maximum power! It crashed through everything in its path! Escaping the explosion, it then!
"Boom!"
A blinding white light burst forth in the sky!
Like a sun blossoming, concentric shockwaves rippled outwards, vaporizing the surrounding Lahmu without even a whimper. As the light spread, the Lahmu in the sky were completely wiped out.
Sure enough... this thing really packs a punch.
Mo Shuying watched the still-reverberating explosion zone, secretly clicking his tongue. There was once a powerful nuclear bomb before him, but he hadn't cherished it. Only when he saw others putting on a fireworks display did he feel deep regret.
Looking at this, getting the cards back from Gilgamesh seemed unrealistic. He'd better ask Da Vinci for some Judas' Kiss when he got back.
"Ah~"
Aerial bombardment continued. As the Lahmu scattered, clutching their heads and fleeing from Tiamat, countless projectiles rained down on Tiamat. Though they couldn't wound her, the impact of the explosions made it impossible for her to move.
Tiamat slowly advanced, finally stepping past Nabu's Fang. The already fragmented Nabu's Fang couldn't stop Tiamat's progress at all.
And having crossed this hurdle, Tiamat was now only a step away from Uruk.
Mo Shuying watched Tiamat. He could see the cold, emotionless gaze in Tiamat's eyes, there only for destruction.
"Arghhhhh!!"
Tiamat looked at the tiny, ant-like humans on the city walls. She opened her mouth, and then!
"Boom!!"
A purple beam of light shot out! It swept past the south gate wall, heading straight for Gilgamesh on the city!
"You won't succeed! Gate Guardian!"
Leonidas was already prepared. He stepped forward to face the attack! His Noble Phantasm activated! Leading three hundred Shields of Flames, he directly blocked Gilgamesh's path!
"Buzz!!"
The light beam struck the star-patterned defense of the flame shields. Leonidas himself didn't move, but his body began to slide!
"Hmph!!"
Leonidas's cape fluttered fiercely as he plunged his spear into the ground, temporarily stabilizing his retreat!
