"Now, everything should be over."
Ritsuka Fujimaru stood before the valley, her slender, long legs encased in black stockings, her skirt fluttering.
The area below had become a complete ruin. Ana was a being summoned specifically to deal with Gorgon; she had sacrificed herself to perish with Gorgon, but she didn't truly die, instead becoming a benevolent Gorgon.
Thus, the "Goddess Alliance," similar to a "wine factory," finally announced its dissolution.
"The mission is only just beginning," Roman immediately said. "You all should have heard about it from Merlin, right?"
"What matter...?" Ritsuka paused, seemingly not understanding Roman's words.
"Huh? You didn't tell them?" Roman asked Merlin incredulously.
"Ahahaha, I accidentally forgot," Merlin scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed. "It's like this..." Merlin roughly explained his meeting with Asher in the dream yesterday, then looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash and asked, "Do you understand now?"
Ritsuka placed a finger on her lips, looking up, contemplating for a moment, then frowned: "But sacrificing Senpai alone to be in a relationship with that god... is that really okay?"
Although Mash remained silent, she also seemed confused. They had always encountered many difficulties while saving human history, but never anything as peculiar as this. Instead of a final grand battle with the Genesis God, it was about Asher alone winning her over... This felt like throwing all the burden onto Asher.
Ana, or rather, Gorgon, looked coldly at Merlin, "He must have been tricked by Merlin." This was also Ana's personal experience; she had followed Merlin's actions before because he tricked her.
"Don't say that, I'm not a liar. This was all his own decision; I merely played a supporting role," Merlin revealed an all-knowing smile, his gaze deep as he looked at Mash and Ritsuka, then glanced at the silently
standing Ana, and slowly said:
"Moreover, necessary sacrifices are the conditions for success. Or do you have a better method?"
"Engage in a final grand battle with that Genesis God, then at all costs, take countless risks to eliminate her?"
Merlin shook his head. "If King Arthur alone can resolve this matter, why not?"
"Let her believe that humans are not terrifying aliens, that everyone is friendly, and then peacefully end all of this," Merlin said. "For that, there's only one thing you need to do."
Ritsuka slowly looked up as Merlin spoke, her bangs fluttering in the breeze, her eyes exceptionally bright:
"Fully support Senpai?"
"Exactly, that's the correct answer!" Merlin clapped his hands. "I've already spoken with King Gilgamesh. From now on, all of Uruk will provide convenience for Asher.
Whatever Tiamat desires will be fulfilled to the best of their ability. Goddess Ishtar will also observe them from high above on her Celestial Boat, providing assistance at any time. If they even want to go to the Underworld, it's fine; the Goddess of the Underworld will grant them permission... I mean, if they have an interest in visiting the Underworld."
"Sounds less like saving humanity and more like a date," Roman said with a wry smile.
"It's good to relax occasionally, isn't it? Or are you used to such thrilling adventures?" Da Vinci's voice came from nearby.
"You have a point... What's in your hand?" Roman asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Strawberry cake, for Mash and the others to eat," Da Vinci gestured at the cake in her hand, then, amidst Roman's heartfelt sigh, a teasing smile appeared on her face.
"But seeing as you've worked hard, I prepared a piece for you."
Roman's eyes, filled with hope, brightened again. He happily took the cake: "Thank you." Then, as if remembering something, he added to everyone, "Good luck, I'll support you anytime."
"Remember to save me a piece of cake, Doctor!"
By the time Ritsuka finished speaking, the voice on the other end had already disappeared.
"Alright, it's almost time to go back and report the final situation to the King," Merlin stretched lazily, about to turn around.
At that moment, the ground slightly vibrated, causing Merlin to halt his steps. Roman's voice came through again: "Detecting a large magical reaction from the Persian Gulf, spreading across all of Mesopotamia!"
"Calm down, calm down!" Merlin immediately interjected.
"This is a normal reaction. This is the Genesis God, Tiamat's magic. Calm down, we need to be vigilant, but do not be on guard against her. Leave it to King Arthur; he will handle it. Trust him."
Yes, treat her like an ordinary person. This was a good opportunity to make her understand that humans weren't bad. If they remained on guard against her, everything would be for naught.
"Even knowing she won't cause trouble right now, I still feel a little fear," Ritsuka's smile held a hint of helplessness. After all, possessing such terrifying power, it was hard not to feel afraid.
"Attention, she should be coming out now!" Roman finished, swallowing the last bite of strawberry cake, then took the coffee Da Vinci offered, his gaze fixed on the seemingly high-tech electronic screen.
A small pebble rolled down from the cave above, and then, like dominoes, more pebbles began to roll down. Merlin looked up and immediately shouted:
"This place is collapsing, let's get out of here first!"
...
Tiamat stood silently in the dark sea, suddenly opening her blood-red eyes, feeling the world tremble.
Awakening after a long slumber brought her joy, as well as bewilderment and loneliness.
The iteration of humanity was an irreversible fact; everything was already destined. She silently watched it all, and for the first time in a long while, she let out a beautiful song.
"Aaaaa"
A tsunami surged from the sea around her, the surrounding raging waves like colossal curtains tens of meters high, the sky a dark, oppressive mass. Tiamat's position was completely enveloped by the tsunami.
Darkness instantly descended, sunlight filtering through the sea, shimmering.
"Mother!" A voice came from afar, quickly covered by the sound of the tsunami, but Tiamat stopped her actions, and the tsunami also temporarily subsided as she paused.
She slightly tilted her head to look.
In her eyes, the human or rather, Servant who was as tiny as an ant, was riding a white pegasus in mid-air, looking at her. So very small. For the current Tiamat, his size was utterly negligible.
She tilted her head slightly, her shimmering red cross-shaped pupils holding a newfound confusion and joy, like a newborn infant filled with curiosity, observing the world.
Feeling the Servant gradually approaching her, Tiamat, after a brief moment of daze, suddenly let out a piercing song: "AaaAAA"
A colossal tsunami, like a vast curtain, enveloped Asher, but he immediately drew his spear and blasted through the waves. The pegasus, moving at almost supersonic speed, arrived before Tiamat.
Tiamat seemed to be about to continue her attack, but for some reason, she inexplicably stopped. Asher wiped the wetness from his face, looked up, and asked, "Do you remember me?"
Tiamat gazed at him warily, her eyes as indifferent as if looking at a stranger.
Sunlight refracted through the sea onto Asher's face.
Water droplets slid down his forehead. As if remembering something, Tiamat's eyes widened slightly, and her body slowly began to shrink.
She moved her body, her cheek reaching towards Asher, and licked the water droplets on his face with her soft little tongue.
"Mother...?" Asher was slightly stunned, unable to understand Tiamat's meaning.
"Aaaa (Familiar scent)"
"I think I said no licking faces!" Asher immediately reacted, unable to resist complaining, wiping away the wetness from his face.
Then, he extended his hand to her. "Come, let's leave this place."
Tiamat slightly tilted her head, seemingly pondering something.
Who knows how long passed, it felt like an instant, yet also a very, very long time.
Her bewildered gaze gradually became clear. She reached out her hand, and it met Asher's.
