Chapter 91: The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth!!
『A pure white sky, a secluded utopia. The lonely ivory tower stands eternal, and in the center of the world, where petals bloom, the pure white city of Camelot descends proudly!
The glory and grandeur that should have belonged to Britain thousands of years later are now unfolding in the Underworld of Mesopotamia!
The Anti-Creation World and the walls of Camelot stand in opposition, and in that gray-white space, only Fujimaru Ritsuka advances alone.
The Anti-Creation World is a space that negates past life and allows new life to be born, where only the living are permitted to exist.
"When the space expands, this king cannot act. Take this," Gilgamesh's crimson snake eyes reflected the girl's figure, and he handed a dagger to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Aim for her head, that is her weakness."
"Understood!" The girl charged forward fearlessly!
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka leave, Ereshkigal, no longer able to support herself, collapsed to the ground. Ishtar quickly helped her up.
When she saw Ereshkigal's body about to shatter, Ishtar understood everything.
"I thought it was strange! You not only broke the taboos of the Underworld but also lent your power to a living being! Using your authority like this, you can't possibly come out unscathed!" Ishtar said angrily.
"…So what?" Ereshkigal murmured weakly, a never-before-seen smile appearing on her weary divine face, a smile of genuine happiness.
"I am the mistress of the Underworld. To protect the Underworld, I merely chose the most effective method."
"You finally met someone you could communicate with. If you disappear here, what meaning would there be…" Ishtar said silently, holding Ereshkigal.
Ereshkigal did not answer, merely whispering, "I wonder if there will be a more romantic encounter next time."
"My basic divinity is even more somber than it is now; perhaps we won't even be able to chat smoothly."
But… even so, it doesn't matter.
Ereshkigal extended her hand, and a handful of petals appeared in her fair palm. "I don't like who I am now."
"What I admire is that human way of life."
The divine figure bathed in a sea of flowers. She watched, touched, and felt them happily.
She had tried countless times, but she had never been able to make flowers bloom in the Underworld…
How wonderful…
"My Underworld is actually… filled with flowers."
The divine figure transformed into points of light, scattering with the petals. 』

[ Hades (Saint Seiya): "What an incompetent ruler of the Underworld. She knew all the taboos, yet she broke them for a human." ]
[ Athena (Saint Seiya): "That's not a very nice thing to say. In my opinion, this goddess of the Underworld is very competent. She protected the Underworld in her own way and protected humanity. Can gods truly exist without humans? It is precisely because of humans that gods have a reason to exist, isn't it?" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: "Wuwuwuwu, my Ereshkigal, I must summon YOU!!" ]
[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "Goddess, you truly love humanity so deeply!" ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: "There are flowers in the Underworld, but only one. Ereshkigal… you are the most beautiful and the only one." ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "? Fujimaru Ritsuka, are you really not some kind of anime protagonist? How are you so good at this?!" ]

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"So beautiful…"
Tears had unknowingly welled up on Ereshkigal's face. She murmured dreamily.
Her Underworld, too, would actually be filled with flowers.
Could it be that she, this goddess of the Underworld, had also touched upon such a beautiful existence…
Moreover, a faint blush spread across Ereshkigal's exquisitely beautiful face, and spiral eyes appeared in the goddess's eyes once more.
Something about flowers in the Underworld, only one of them… it was too bold!
Uruk—
"Offer flowers to Ereshkigal-sama!"
The citizens of Uruk had tears in their eyes. They looked at each other and rushed towards the temple!
After a certain point, the oldest tacit approval was transformed into the Temple of the Underworld Goddess.
The citizens would offer their love and flowers to the goddess!
This was the god they truly loved and respected!

"Mashu~! I must summon Ereshkigal, then heavily whale for her! Let Ereshkigal deeply feel my love!"
Chaotic Evil Gudako seemed to have transformed into some indescribable existence.

〜Saint Seiya Toeiverse, Anime timeline〜
Underworld—
Wails were piercing, and the dark abyss echoed with cries of pain. It was the punishment for those who committed evil in life, cast into the Avici Hell by the ruler of all life after death!
"How foolish,"
Hades scoffed, looking at the dissipating Ereshkigal.
Humans were foolish, filthy, incurable creatures. Hades had long given up all hope for humanity, so why not choose to destroy the existing world and create a new era?
"As the goddess of the Underworld, did you not notice this?"
Those with pure souls would be sent to Elysium, and the rest would simply go to hell.

〜Bleach World〜
"Now it's truly the final step,"
Kurosaki Ichigo watched the girl on the screen nervously.
In the final moments, could Fujimaru Ritsuka truly defeat Tiamat?
As an ordinary person… an ordinary person burdened with saving the world…
—
『 "Aaaaaaaa!" Tiamat's slight movements caused the mountains to tremble violently. Fujimaru Ritsuka, in the Nega-Genesis, continuously ran and dodged.
The girl was in a sorry state, her face covered in blood and scars. She had to avoid not only falling boulders but also the Lahmu emerging from Tiamat's body!
A Lahmu of the Divine-level easily struck Fujimaru Ritsuka, flying. The girl knelt on the ground, her expression twisted and distorted, as if she wanted to devour the Lahmu alive! 』

〜Naruto World〜
"No need to bluff, that will only make you seem weaker and more incompetent,"
Sasuke snorted, crossing his arms.
If he were there, he might have already soloed Tiamat.
( Translator-kun: Buddy, are you sure about that? )
"Sasuke, you just know how to show off,"
Naruto said dissatisfiedly.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka has done well enough!"
"Just shut up, Naruto! Isn't what Sasuke-kun said the truth?"
Sakura chimed in.
"…Then, Sasuke, won't you ever encounter someone stronger than yourself again?"
Naruto asked after a moment of silence.
"Has facing an enemy stronger than yourself also become bluffing? I believe Fujimaru Ritsuka will definitely succeed!"

On the path of destiny, there are always countless storms and setbacks; everyone sighed.
Look at how much despair Fujimaru Ritsuka has already experienced along the way.
Whether one wants to be a savior or is forced to be a savior, one must be prepared to die at any time.
So, how will Fujimaru Ritsuka resolve this crisis?
Just as everyone's mouths curved into a smile of delight, the figure that suddenly appeared on the screen froze their expressions.
Wait… didn't they say that the Nega-Genesis negates past existence and can only accommodate the living?!
.....
『 "Since it is a host of the dead, then its opponent is naturally death," a deep and solemn voice rang out.
The figure burning with ghostly blue flames reappeared before Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Two Lahmu let out sharp, mocking laughter, directly thrusting their sword-like tentacles into King Hassan's body!
But soon, the Lahmu could no longer laugh…
Flames burned fiercely in the old man's pupils. He actually… bit off the Lahmu's head!
"The (subjugation) task is entrusted to me. As a living being, go forth fearlessly."
"Understood!" Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up again, desperately running towards Tiamat's head! 』

"Could that one also be…"
A light flickered in Red A's eyes.
Like him, an existence that directly signed a contract with the Counter Force, thus able to transform into a Heroic Spirit and also remain in the world as a living being.
But what wish would that old man have?
—
『 "We've come this far!"
Breathing heavily, her lungs felt like they were about to explode. The intense pain in her body twisted the girl's expression, but Fujimaru Ritsuka still kept moving forward! Running!
She overcame all obstacles, and with Fou's help at the last moment, plunged the dagger into Tiamat's head!
In an instant, the entire world seemed to stand still, all eyes gathered on this spot!
In a pure white space, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw that lonely and magnificent, yet infinitely familiar figure.
Tiamat—
Her figure was slightly taller than the girl's. Her exquisitely beautiful form stood quietly there, her star-ocean-like eyes seemingly brimming with endless sorrow and loss. 』

[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "Tiamat… Mother, so beautiful!" ]
[ Tony Tony Chopper (One Piece): "Hey! Sanji, don't be fooled! Although I also feel a sense of familiarity, don't forget how dangerous this Goddess was before!" ]
[ Iwanaga Kotoko (Kyokou Suiri): "This is Tiamat's original form… so quiet it frightens me, like the calm before a storm." ]
[ Tezcatlipoca⦍Assassin⦎: "Hehe, maybe at this final moment, a 1vs 1 final battle will unfold? Anyway, if you ask me, I definitely want to see Fujimaru Ritsuka's final resolve as a warrior!" ]
[ Itsuka Kotori (Date A Live): "What kind of devil are you?!" ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"Beast…"
Gilgamesh's expression remained unperturbed.
Because he knew that at this point, everything was over. Tiamat was defeated, but only defeated in this Singularity, and that was already enough.
Next, Fujimaru Ritsuka only needed to give her the final farewell.
"It seems this era isn't entirely made up of inferior goods!"
Gilgamesh's snake eyes reflected Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure. Clearly, this oldest tsundere king was quite satisfied with her.
But the next moment, the king's expression suddenly showed surprise. He looked at the screen in disbelief!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was equally dumbfounded. The imagined battle did not arrive; instead…?!
Fujimaru Ritsuka, do you know what you're doing?!
You're going to make all their efforts come to NAUGHT!!!
.....
『 "You are…" When she saw that figure, Fujimaru Ritsuka's burning, twisted rage was replaced by endless sorrow.
She stared blankly at the figure before her, and the dagger in her hand involuntarily dropped.
It wasn't an illusion, nor was it any kind of suggestion or hypnosis. It was simply because the moment she saw the Mother Goddess, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt it with undeniable clarity.
"I nurtured many lives, and I was once loved by all beings," Tiamat said, lowering her head like a child who had done wrong, filled with sorrow and confusion.
"But my children used me as a stepping stone and left me."
"I wanted to love them forever, to keep them by my side always."
"Is my love… mistaken?" Those eyes, as vast as the starry sea, were now filled with sorrow and doubt.
She loved the children she nurtured… but why did her children abandon her…
Did her children hate her…
Tiamat's body gradually began to petrify and dissipate. There was no need for Fujimaru Ritsuka to act; she only needed to quietly watch this scene, but…
Tiamat's eyes suddenly widened. Her child, the child named Fujimaru Ritsuka before her, tightly embraced her.
"I don't know... But... Your Children all love you, Mother—"
"We deeply love you. You will always be our Mother."
Tiamat stared blankly at the child before her, her star-ocean-like eyes showing no ripples, but tears had already uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Her children… still loved her, loved her, their mother.
The principle of regression within her expanded even more, and her love grew even thicker— 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was moved by it, and even trembled!
Fujimaru Ritsuka is absolutely CRAZY!!! There's definitely a reason why this person was chosen to be the final Master and made it this far!
How dare she, at the last moment, embrace that terrifyingly powerful Creator God? At that distance, even if Tiamat was about to dissipate, she could kill Fujimaru Ritsuka in an instant!
Wouldn't that mean losing everything then?!
.....
〜Type-Moon World〜
Heroic Spirits or Beasts who knew something about Tiamat were all shocked by Fujimaru Ritsuka's action, their scalps tingling!
You must know that Tiamat here had absolutely sealed her own power!
If Fujimaru Ritsuka's words at this moment provoked the principle of regression to break through the seal, then this world would truly be destroyed and reshaped by Tiamat!
Imaginary Space—
"Aaaaaaaa,"
No longer sorrowful or confused, Tiamat still stood alone in this desolate space.
But at this moment, her voice was filled with happiness and joy.
It was wonderful… it was wonderful, her children still loved her.
—
『 "My child… Mother loves you too," Tiamat deeply etched Fujimaru Ritsuka's image into her mind, then gently pushed the girl away.
The goddess already knew that her child loved her, but this world did not welcome her. Destroying this world along with her would only bring endless pain to her child.
Her child still loved her, but no longer needed her mother's guidance or embrace—
This mother, who loved her child to the extreme, made a sacrifice at this moment.
"Goodbye, my child."
The girl's figure was pushed out. In the Underworld, the gigantic dragon-transformed Tiamat let out a complex wail.
"It seems you succeeded, Fujimaru Ritsuka," Gilgamesh smiled.
Then, terrifying magical energy swirled around him. Ea emerged from the ripples, and a terrifying hurricane tore through the void, the Underworld, and even the world itself!
"I shall perform this final blow as a parting gift to you!"
"I will tell you of the beginning. Heaven and Earth split, nothingness praised creation, my Sword of Rupture cleaved the world!"
"Mortar of the stars, heaven's hell is the eve of creation's celebration."
A terrifying torrent of magical energy illuminated the entire Underworld. This was Gilgamesh at his absolute peak!
"Now you shall die and be silent..."
"ENUMA ELISH—!!"
(The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth)
"BANG—!"
Tiamat, along with the entire world, was annihilated beneath this weapon of creation! 』

Wuwuwu, she should have fed Tiamat a Holy Grail and brought her back to Chaldea!
