( Translator-kun: Of course, this is the last part of the Big Surprise/Gift I mentioned in the last few months. These chapters are some of the longest I've ever translated, with each one running between 2,500 to 3,000 words.
Anyway, I'll be straight to the point: I'm adding a bonus chapter to the weekly schedule until March. That's a total of 6 additional chapters, meaning you'll be getting 4 chapters per week starting right now! It might be a few days late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone, and happy reading!
I also want to send a huge thank you to my supporters on Patreon. You know who you are, and your continued support means the world to me. It's lessened my burden of buying those chapters. And I will continue translating this type of web novel, because I also love this type of Web novel genre. Enjoy the release! )
Chapter 91.1: Shocking Reward! Controlling the Narrative! The Myriad Worlds Tremble! New Character!
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The onlookers once again reveled in a dazzling display of energy cannons, yet their minds still reeled from Fujimaru Ritsuka's audacious feat.
This last Master of Humanity possessed a courage beyond measure. No one had anticipated that Fujimaru Ritsuka would, in the end, embrace the very Goddess of Creation.
Fortunately, the Goddess of Creation ultimately did not keep Fujimaru Ritsuka captive.
From initial indifference, dismissal, and even disgust, the onlookers now regarded her with newfound respect, even a prickling sense of awe. Her actions defied all conventional logic!
This last Master of Humanity consistently conjured miracles, and miracles consistently found her.
So, how far could Fujimaru Ritsuka truly go? What would become of Fujimaru Ritsuka?
Curiosity filled the hearts of all.
.....
『 A bright moon hung suspended in the sky.
When Fujimaru Ritsuka awoke again, night had fallen. Mash, with a gasp of delight, helped Fujimaru Ritsuka to her feet.
The surroundings were desolate, naught but crumbling ruins, yet the moon shone bright and clear; the storm clouds that had shrouded Uruk now vanished.
It was over… Fujimaru Ritsuka clutched her chest, a faint sense of wistfulness settling within her.
Tiamat… Mother of Genesis.
The two encountered Quetzalcoatl, the Winged Serpent Goddess, and Jaguar Man. It was they who had saved them after Gilgamesh unleashed his final strike.
After a brief exchange, the time for farewells arrived.
"Work hard, my adorable Master. I eagerly await your glorious victory, one that earns thunderous applause from the audience."
"Yes, thank you for everything until now," Fujimaru Ritsuka bid them farewell, watching their retreating figures.
Fujimaru and Mash traversed the ruins, encountering Ishtar and Merlin once more.
Even the scoundrel Merlin seemed somewhat moved. He had believed he would spend his entire life interested only in stories within books, not in the humans who wrote them.
But this time, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Perhaps witnessing Fujimaru Ritsuka's existence, even his own half-incubus, half-human being, felt a subtle stir within his heart.
Merlin handed a cluster of flowers to Fujimaru Ritsuka, then turned and departed.
"Well, dawn has broken, Ritsuka. The stargazer of Chaldea, the pioneer who will remain in no one's memory. I salute your battle."
"May this journey find a good end."
"I will pray that your destination will be a clear, azure sky." 』

"No feast lasts forever,"
The white-haired Rayleigh mused, lounging on a fishing boat, a cup of fine sake in hand, a look of utter contentment on his face.
Yet, a flicker of bitterness crossed his eyes. Perhaps departures paved the way for better reunions, but what of those who could never meet again…?
—
『 In the early morning, Fujimaru and the others found King Gilgamesh seated upon his throne. At this moment, Gilgamesh had already reverted to the appearance they first encountered.
He was now truly and utterly dead.
The group stood atop the ruined walls of Uruk, gazing down at the desolate landscape below, yet no trace of sadness or wistfulness lingered in their hearts.
Uruk endured. The Sumerians would continue to carry on their legacy.
They faced the rising sun, bathed in the nascent breeze.
Gilgamesh spoke softly, "Humans, as a species, possess infinite growth potential. This truth remains unchanged, even in the final second of life."
"Until the very last breath, one must continually accumulate the essence of their heart. Such is the history of humanity."
"Raise your head, Fujimaru Ritsuka. If you lament your inadequacy in this era,"
"Then I, the King, shall acknowledge you as the indispensable one for this age."
"No matter how arduous the future that awaits you, so long as you stand there, you are in the right!" 』

[ Tiné Chelc: "Humanity will eventually sail beyond the star-court. Gilgamesh-sama needs only to fulfill his duties as king, to be lauded as a hero for generations to come." ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎: "Hahahaha! The King permits, the King acknowledges, the King shall bear the weight of the entire world! Truly, I am the King! Hahahaha!" ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Your Majesty… thank you, truly!" ]
[ Fang Yuan (Reverend Insanity): "Fujimaru Ritsuka, in this life, can you reach the other shore?" ]
[ ..... ]
『 "Yes, I will strive, Your Majesty!" Fujimaru Ritsuka declared, her voice resolute.
Her figure was bathed in the sunlight, radiant as the midday sun.
At that moment, Dr. Roman's voice echoed, confirming that the Spiritron Transfer for teleportation was ready.
The group exchanged their final farewells. Gilgamesh even poured a cup of ale, offering it to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash to taste.
But as neither of them was of legal drinking age, they politely declined with a smile.
Having saved the world, yet unable to drink due to their age, Gilgamesh burst into laughter, then drained the ale in a single gulp!
"Then at least take the vessel with you. I daresay it will prove useful in due time."
A golden chalice glittered under a brilliant light. Fujimaru Ritsuka fumbled to catch it. This was… a Holy Grail!
"Then farewell, Chaldea. This battle was a resounding victory, truly exhilarating!"
"The Demonic Beast Front will conclude with your return!"
"Yes!" the two girls nodded in unison.
"No, there's one thing I forgot to ask," the King of Heroes said, feigning nonchalance, his arms crossed. "What did you think of Uruk?"
The two exchanged glances, then smiled. "We had a wonderful time!" 』

[ Merlin: "Boss is generous! Just casually handing out a Holy Grail, and using it to hold alcohol… is that the true purpose of a Holy Grail?! Truly worthy of the King of Heroes, the oldest of them all~!" ]

My Holy Grail… my heart…
Tohsaka Tokiomi watched in utter disbelief as the Holy Grail was given away, a sound like shattering glass echoing in his mind.
Hadn't it been agreed that he was Gilgamesh's favored subject?
Could it be that his summoning method was flawed, failing to summon the elderly King Gilgamesh?!

The fervent atmosphere suddenly quieted. Regarding the next segment, everyone already had a good idea.
In mere moments, familiar text appeared on the screen. Indeed, it was there!

[ Chaldea, Ereshkigal Arc — ]
『 "Ah, Master seems so cold lately," Ereshkigal mumbled, curled up in her Underworld-decorated home, her voice filled with grievance.
"Before, he always took me to battle, but recently, she hasn't."
"Could it be…", a terrifying thought bloomed in the goddess's mind, "she's grown tired of me!"
"Waaah, I knew it, an introverted goddess like me just isn't popular!"
"Does she think I'm so gloomy I could sprout mushrooms?" Twisting and writhing like a worm, Ereshkigal rolled around, covering her face.
Had Master come to despise her?!
"Stop! Not even mushrooms grow in the Underworld, Ereshkigal," Dumuzid, the Golden Fleece, appeared, radiating brilliant, dazzling golden light. "I am the sleepless night, the luminous ram who counts your shattered dreams."
"Do you not wish to be constantly noticed by your Master?" Dumuzid tempted.
And so—
Zhuge Liang, the Great Hero Nitocris, and other Heroic Spirits appeared half-dead, clearly suffering from overwork, a single step away from sudden death.
"Could it be Ereshkigal who caused the Singularity?" Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched, sighing.
"M-Master!" Ereshkigal lowered her head, filled with remorse and self-reproach. "I'm so sorry!"
"I wanted to help Master, but recently you haven't taken me… I, I don't want Master to dislike me, so I…", tears welled up in Ereshkigal's eyes as she spoke.
"Uh… actually, it's because Ereshkigal's Bond Level is already maxed out, so there's no need to specifically bring you to farming quests anymore," Fujimaru Ritsuka explained honestly.
"…Eh… Ehhhhhh!" Ereshkigal's face instantly flushed crimson.
Ahhhhhhhh—
The goddess's heart pounded like a frantic deer. She fled like the wind to a place where no one could see her, her eyes swirling with spirals of joy, secretly reveling in this affection from her Master~ 』

"Ahhh! Sanji, stop looking! You'll die!"
Chopper shrieked, panicking at the sight of Sanji's nosebleeds.
"No, I'll die looking if I must…"
Sanji asserted valiantly. He had never imagined that a divine beauty could be so incredibly cute!
Too cute!
Pfft — one nostril failed to staunch the flow, and blood gushed out again.
A sudden realization dawned on Sanji: alcohol and women were his downfall! From today on, he must abstain from drinking!

『 "I birthed countless lives, and was once loved by all beings."
"But my children used me as a stepping stone and abandoned me."
"I wished to love them forever, to keep them by my side always. Was my love… a mistake?"
Tiamat, the Mother of Genesis. Yet, the gods themselves began to rebel against Tiamat, their mother.
Tiamat lamented, driven to madness, and gave birth to eleven Demonic Beasts as her new children, clashing with the gods. In the end, Tiamat and her eleven Demonic Beasts were defeated.
The gods split her body in two, creating heaven and earth.
Tiamat was used as the fertile soil that nurtured life. But once the Earth's environment stabilized and its ecosystem was established, Tiamat, who had birthed life, became obsolete.
In the process of living beings acquiring intelligence commensurate with the planet, she was merely an obstacle, and thus, she was exiled to the Imaginary Space.
Thereafter, Tiamat waited in the Imaginary Space for an opportunity to return to her original Earth.
In the endless darkness, Imaginary Space was like an undefined box. Tiamat stood alone in the void, her gaze sorrowful and lost.
The Mother eternally awaited her children's embrace. 』

[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Anyone would go mad in a place like that…" ]

Frowns creased the brows of the onlookers. They now somewhat understood Tiamat's desire to obliterate everything!
Dismembered by her children, used to create heaven and earth, then exiled as useless to a cold, desolate void.
Who could endure such a fate?!
.....
『 Tiamat could not confirm the existence of a near-personality.
Had she lost her reason, or had she lacked it from the very beginning? Both explanations held validity.
She saw her purpose in life as only bearing children, nurturing them, and giving love. When this was denied, she decided to wage war against humanity, who had deemed her useless.
She acted under a primal system that dictated that if the current humanity was not eliminated, she herself would be killed.
To humans, Beasts were terrifying invaders, but to Beasts, humans were the alien invaders!
Innate Skill – (EX Rank), Sea From Which Life Itself is Sprung.
A skill capable of manifesting independently in the present world. Since its manifestation, it ceaselessly births Demonic Beasts, consuming humanity whole!
Its characteristic exists across all space and time—
Therefore, not only are attacks that cause temporal paradoxes through time travel ineffective against her, but even various instant-death attacks are canceled.
Innate Skill – (C+++ Rank), the Self-Inflicting Chains that Bind the Beast
The Beast, lamenting, hating, and fearing humanity's collective unconscious, deeming her unnecessary and exiling her, yet her deeper consciousness accepted it as "unavoidable."
The Beast, whose very root is "Mother," held onto the desire to be humanity's protector until the very end, and this Self-Sealing is its physical manifestation.
The Mother never truly used her full power— 』

Everyone struggled to accept this reality. Both the reversal of good and evil and Tiamat's self-sealed power left them utterly astounded.
The entirety of Uruk, fighting with all its might, the Four Goddesses, a Grand-class King Hassan, the Chains of Heaven, and the Wedge of Heaven, and all their combined efforts, ultimately only defeated an incomplete Tiamat?
Just how strong was Tiamat's true power?!
