"This? This is!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka squinted, watching the Chains of Heaven dissipate before them.
Mo Shuying peeled himself off the wall and chuckled.
"You sure took your sweet time getting here. Traffic jam?"
No sooner had he spoken than a familiar voice rang out.
"Hmph, a hero naturally appears at the last crucial moment; that fits my persona as the King of Heroes!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed in unison, "King Gilgamesh!!"
"Haha! Excellent! This King has arrived! This King acknowledges, this King permits, this King shall bear the weight of the entire world! Aren't you moved by this King?!"
Gilgamesh descended through the air, stepping on stairs of emerald gold. Judging by his appearance, he was clearly a Heroic Spirit—a divine being who, even after death, could traverse to Uruk on foot!
Are all you Grand Caster candidates so good at marathons? Oh, in his current state, he probably isn't a Caster anymore.
"Is that still Tiamat? How pathetic. To have made it this far, you've done quite well, commendable even. Now, watch this King."
Gilgamesh walked towards Tiamat. The two Lahmu guarding Tiamat immediately roared in alert, then one of them spread its wings and charged at Gilgamesh! But before it could get close, it was strung up by the Chains of Heaven and died instantly.
"Roar!!"
Though unseen, Tiamat seemed to sense the threat. Her body had healed, but her limbs had not yet recovered. She twisted, trying to roll away, but the Chains of Heaven rattled, golden chains binding Tiamat in place. The last Lahmu was also crushed, turning into a puddle of Black Mud.
"Tiamat, Mother of Creation, Mother of Mesopotamia. You are the beginning of Mesopotamia, while this King is its end. Let my finale conclude your sins."
Gilgamesh was incredibly solemn. A golden gate opened at his feet, and a golden hilt emerged, its blade a red mortar!
"Narrate the beginning, when heaven and earth were sundered, and even the void offered its blessings. With my Ea (Sword of Rupture), I shall tear apart the world!"
*"Om!"*
Gilgamesh drew Ea. The blade rotated, and a golden-red storm now roared with full force! A golden-red orb of light condensed at the sword's tip!
"The mortar that encircles the stars! The hell of the heavens is the end of the eve of creation! Appease everything with your death!"
The sword fell!
*"Enuma Elish! Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth!"*
*"Boom!! Om!!!"*
The light that sundered heaven and earth once again illuminated the Underworld! Ereshkigal had already covered her eyes, unable to watch.
This crimson light directly struck Tiamat's remaining body! Everything seemed to end. Tiamat opened her mouth but made no sound! Finally... everything dissipated!!
Mo Shuying watched the scene calmly, his heart at peace. At this moment, there was no right or wrong.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.
"Why…"
"I birthed countless lives, and was once loved by all beings, but my children turned away and left me. I loved them so deeply, wanting them to stay by my side forever. Was my love… wrong?"
"…"
It was Tiamat's voice, Mo Shuying was sure. Though he heard it for the first time, that gentleness, that overwhelming love, could be no one else's.
Speaking of which, Tiamat was also a tragic god. Was she at fault? No, the world was.
"Children grow up and always have their own ideas. Childhood is over, and humanity no longer needs gods to guide its future. Please rest well, and behold humanity's glorious and magnificent tomorrow."
Mo Shuying murmured, and then there was nothing. A flash of light passed over Mo Shuying. He felt as if he had lost something, yet gained something else.
Meanwhile.
"It's gone! Tiamat's Spirit Origin is confirmed to have completely dissipated! The target named Tiamat has been eliminated! The Singularity's distortion is being repaired! We succeeded! We won!! We won!"
Dr. Roman's excited voice rang out, and everyone showed joyful expressions.
"Ahhhhhh! We finally won!"
Ishtar hugged Ereshkigal, almost crying. Ereshkigal wrapped her arms around Ishtar's waist, glanced at the devastated Underworld, and tears welled up.
"Yay! That was amazing! Master! Anna! We won!"
Mash was very happy. The disaster was truly over.
Gilgamesh turned to the crowd, put away Ea, and said, arms crossed, "Alright, I won't be joining the celebrations. I am not alive right now, and there are some restrictions. Farewell, my friends."
Gilgamesh smiled, but before anyone could respond, he vanished on the spot, returning to the Throne of Heroes.
"Heh, what an indirect fellow."
Merlin chuckled and said, then.
"Ah!"
Mash looked at her hand, which had begun to glow white.
"We're getting kicked out of the Singularity! Romani! Connect quickly!"
Mo Shuying urgently called out. If he was kicked out and couldn't return to Chaldea, there was no telling where he'd end up.
"Ahhhhh! I'll get ready right away! You guys hold on!"
A flurry of frantic sounds came from his ear, which did little to reassure him.
Mo Shuying glanced at his own body, which was also beginning to dissipate.
"Everyone."
Mo Shuying turned his head to look at the group who had fought with him in this battle.
"Ereshkigal, Ishtar, Anna, Merlin, Hassan, Leopardman! I will never forget what we went through on this journey. Thank you all so much for your help. I… I'm very happy!"
Mo Shuying smiled. Although it had been a tough battle, Mo Shuying hadn't exerted himself this much in the previous six Singularities. It was hard, but fulfilling.
"Us too!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash walked over and stood beside Mo Shuying, bowing deeply and earnestly to everyone.
"We'll never forget it!"
Mash reached up to wipe away the tears from their eyes. Although their time together hadn't been very long, their feelings for each other had long surpassed those of mere friends.
Anna's eyes welled up with tears, Merlin nodded slightly, and Ereshkigal looked at Mo Shuying with a complex expression.
"This is the limit. Goodbye, everyone."
Mo Shuying could feel the repulsive force reaching its maximum. He waved his hand again, and the three of them instantly vanished.
Wait, three people?
Mo Shuying tilted his head. Had he forgotten something?
Inside Chaldea! The pod opened.
Mo Shuying opened his eyes and stepped out.
"Ah! That was too close! We almost didn't connect!"
Dr. Roman walked over, patting his chest. It really was just by a hair; the four of them were almost left wandering the Earth!
Mo Shuying smiled, and then the three pods beside him opened. Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, and…
"Uh, Master? Where have you been all this time?"
Seeing Li Shuwen emerge from the pod, Mo Shuying finally remembered what he had forgotten!
