Gorgon!
Let. Go! Let. Go! Let. Go! Let. Go!
You. Dirty. Fakes!
Enough squabbling.
You're mindless hunks of mud.
Why?
Are you going to help us?
Help you, was it?
Yeah! This is where Tiamat--
More like, you all are in the way!
In the way?
You can't even lift your shield.
As for the Master, look at his fingertips.
They're on the verge of necrosis from the drain of Magical Energy.
I will smash Tiamat's wings.
I shall teach her that it is she who slithers across the ground.
I understand! I will trust you with everything here!
I told you, I'm not here for you. Now leave.
Immediately!
Yeah.
Thank you.
Farewell.
Senpai!
Hold on a second, Senpai!
That Gorgon is A--
Mash!
I know that.
I didn't say a proper goodbye,
but this is enough for me.
I'm sorry.
I just didn't want you two to see me in this form.
I'm sure that would just hurt you more than you deserve.
But, Tiamat...
I will show you true pain!
I will be the Great Snake...
...and bring the Earth Dragon down!
Melt everything!
Pandemonium Cetus!
Thank you very much for the flowers.
No good!
We sealed off flight from her,
but as long as she keeps creating black mud, we can't stop her advance to Uruk!
Those two goddesses...
Their performance was the best we could ever think of.
I suppose there are some good goddesses out there after all.
And now...
Are you all right?
King Gilgamesh!
You're back.
Take a look. This is Uruk in its entirety.
One more step, and it will be wiped off the land.
The end of one world.
Here she comes. Our Mother appears.
This will be Uruk's last stand against Tiamat!
You sit there and see through this to the very end!
You don't have lapis lazuli or any soldiers,
yet the Dingirs are operating?
Who do you think I am?
All 360 Dingirs mounted here in Uruk were made by my hand,
infused with my Magical Energy and controlled by me!
If I work this body to death, I can control them all like this!
I'll show you what I can do to stop Tiamat!
Amazing!
Ereshkigal!
How are preparations in the underworld?
Just a little more! Hold on for just a little more!
King Gilgamesh?
How dare you try to snipe him?
You have good aim, too.
Impressive, you damn Tiamat!
K-King Gilgamesh!
I--
Worry not! It's only a mortal wound!
If you lot are still fine, then all is well!
Dingirs, work for me!
Please stop!
You're clearly in no condition to!
Are you saying it's impossible?
That I am at my limit?
That Uruk cannot fight anymore?
Do you also claim so, Ritsuka Fujimaru?
No!
Uruk is far from finished!
Well said!
Then, it's time for me to finally get serious!
I mean, I was going all out from the start,
but I do have a king's vanity!
We've confirmed a huge discharge of Laḫmu!
A horde is coming ahead of Tiamat!
It's no good! There are too many!
This is...
Hold on!
That's looking more like an anti-castle weapon!
Are they still up for another?
That means I have to unleash the Magical Energy I saved up...
...to slam them down into the underworld!
No way! Those chains...
Kingu?
You really are mass-produced trash after all. A pittance.
How. You. Alive?
Kingu!
To be having trouble against this mass-produced trash
shows how useless those obsolete humans truly are.
And yet,
they had the gall to talk back to me.
Both that Master of Chaldea and him.
For all their show of confidence,
they couldn't do anything alone.
But they survived to the end.
I can do anything alone, huh?
I guess I already was imperfect at that point.
Why...
You. Ally? With. The. Humans?
I haven't sided with humans.
I'm a new type of human entirely.
I am Kingu, the one and only member of the new humanity!
However...
No matter who your mother is or how you were born,
simply do the things you really want to do.
Like you and I once did.
Forget about Mother or my origins... Do something I truly want to do, huh?
I didn't have such a thing.
Nothing at all.
I didn't have anything, Gil!
But...
...when I think about it, there was one thing.
I wanted to see you!
I wanted to talk to you!
All of the memories left in this heart...
...and my impressions of them...
I wanted to share them with you...
...as your friend.
But that can't happen!
That wish wasn't mine! It belonged to the machine called Enkidu!
And my wish, Kingu's wish, is the same as it's always been!
It's no good! She's heading into the city!
I was born into this world in order to preserve it.
Farewell, Mother.
You chose the wrong child.
At this rate...
Is that...
This body remembers what it's supposed to do.
Kingu, son of Tiamat,
will show you the power of the Chain of the Heavens!
Mother's fury is a thing of the past!
Now, I will awaken the breath of stars!
Enuma Elish!
That just now...
See for yourself.
Just a few more steps over here,
and this ziggurat will be reduced to ashes.
But it's frustrating her. With those chains, even a single step is so difficult!
It was only a momentary restraint,
but for her, a mind-numbing eternity.
Kingu...
The Chain of the Heavens even held back the physical strength of a god of creation!
I sent my friend off twice.
The first time I was mourning, but this time is different!
His proud, valiant figure...
...is burned into my memory for eternity!
I thank you, Fujimaru!
Even if everything in this era had been called into service,
I have a feeling it would've ended here.
You are a foreigner.
A foreign element in this period and a surplus.
However, that very surplus was the thing
that helped us face destruction we alone could not have overcome,
and helped us make our final move!
The time has come.
I'm leaving everything in your hands now.
--Okay! --Okay!
Fujimaru!
The phase transition between underground Uruk and the underworld is done!
We just need to dig a hole!
Master!
Yeah!
Ishtar! We're going to drop Tiamat into the underworld!
I've been waiting for this! Okay, Fujimaru!
As requested,
I'm going to punch through the ground beneath your feet with no mercy!
Gate Open!
From the great heavens, towards the great earth!
The future will take care of itself!
Fujimaru! Mash!
Both of you, prepare for impact!
Angalta Kigalse!
Mash!
Yes, Master!
Master!
I can't see what's below us!
Is this...
--Ereshkigal! --Ereshkigal!
Welcome to the underworld.
I made an exception
and authorized permission for you to exist and to float within the underworld.
For now, within the underworld,
you do not count as living creatures.
Gather Magical Energy in your feet
and imagine the ground.
That way, you should be able to hover.
It takes a bit of getting used to...
...but it's fine once we get used to it.
Right!
This really, really is an exception, okay?
Yep! Thank you for saving us, Ereshkigal!
Thank you very much!
O-Okay. Then, we're fine.
This quaking...
Now, Fujimaru, Mash, behold!
Tiamat...
Then, we were successful in leading her to the underworld!
But what in the world is that light?
Amazing!
Enough heat comparable to Ishtar's Noble Phantasm set Tiamat ablaze,
and it doesn't seem to be going out!
That's one of the underworld's security features.
This happens to the living who come without my permission.
This law was laid down by the world known as "Uruk."
Not even Tiamat is an exception to that rule.
So, it's an Authority only you have, Ereshkigal!
I feel bad for King Gilgamesh,
but I'm going to finish her off as the master of the underworld!
Hear me, gallû spirits, the spears of rotting flesh and death!
Make her feel the wrath of the iron hammer of Kur!
Here in Kur, even Tiamat is just another god!
An all-out attack from me and the gallû spirits was enough to dispatch...
To dispa...
Is Tiamat...
...covering herself in mud?
Chaos Tide corruption!
This is bad!
It'll take over the whole underworld if it keeps spreading!
Wh-Wh-What... What's happening?
She can even corrupt the underworld!
That's not all!
Tiamat's Spirit Origin is reverting to the Age of Gods!
It has reached the Jurassic Age!
Spirit Origin inflation has halted,
and the Magical Reactor Core is rebooting, as well!
The wounds she sustained in the fall to the underworld are healing, too!
Transformation into dragon form complete!
The creature before you is undoubtedly a god in itself!
It's all over if a wave of Chaos Tide lands!
Isn't there some way to hold it back?
I'll try it out.
I'll try it out, but...
...the corruption is too overwhelming!
Ereshkigal!
You stay focused on Tiamat!
Right! We'll take care of things here!
I'm thankful that you're counting on me for this,
but Kur's output is dropping as a whole!
But if we don't defeat her here, we have nowhere to fall back upon!
This is just speculation, but Tiamat is likely at her weakest right now!
We must defeat her before she escapes from the underworld!
Brace yourself, Ereshkigal!
Huh? What is this?
Is this...
Chaos Tide's detoxification is accelerating!
Laḫmu emittance is ZERO?
Then, what you see there is just a...
--No way! --No way!
All right!
I made it in time!
Operation "If the mud births life,
all you have to do is change that life into something harmless"...
...is a great success!
--Merlin! --Merlin!
Merlin? How can you be there?
Don't tell me you were re-summoned! No, no, no! That can't be!
Rest assured,
I am the real deal, the genuine Merlin.
I just popped over from Avalon!
--You ran over? --You ran over?
That's right!
I do hate sad partings.
Letting death be what separates us would've been too depressing!
So, I came to the conclusion that this was the time for me to bend the rules a bit.
Merlin!
After all, I enjoy bolstering my reputation as the Mage of Flowers!
You can praise me all you want.
Yes, Merlin! We're thrilled to see you again!
I really am grateful that you came all the way here, Merlin!
The decrease in Kur's output has stopped! That means I can--
Looks like this is no time to be indulging in the joys of reunion.
Tiamat has deployed horned wings!
She's planning on flying again?
After all this? I can't believe it!
Repainting all the hatred and sadness abandoned as unnecessary for human history,
and all ecosystems on Earth that resulted from such an act...
The joy of returning once again to being the mother of all...
With that true nature, her Class has been determined.
"The Goddess of Creation" is a fictional title.
Please, let me make it there in time!
This, in fact, is the great catastrophe most denied by human history, left behind by humans.
One of the Seven Evils of Humanity...
The beast embracing the natural law of regression...
Beast II!
No way!
What is that thing?
She's going to start her flight!
If she returns to Uruk, the defensive mechanism of the underworld will be nullified, too!
Moreover, she'll regain invincibility, once again becoming unable to die!
Fujimaru, Mash...
Your journey in this Singularity must have been wilder than anywhere else,
and that beast stronger than anything else.
Two goddesses trying to ground her,
a pitfall into the underworld with Uruk as bait,
the Chain of the Heavens binding her,
the punishment of the underworld...
...and...
...my flowers, beautiful if nothing else.
Everyone has tried everything under the sun to get even this far.
But it's still not enough.
She still does not know fear. She has no natural enemy.
She is unfamiliar with He whom I dub "Death."
It wasn't King Gilgamesh.
Nor the Mage King's Holy Grail.
The one who called him forth was none other than you,
Ritsuka Fujimaru.
The enemy is the Evil of Humanity, a Beast.
The conditions were right for him to appear in this land.
The weapons that stand against the Beasts of the Counter Force... In other words,
a Grand-class Servant!
So, there was meaning to all of your battles.
Now, look up at the sky, Primordial Sea!
Look up, Goddess of Life, and know Death!
All that begins must end. So, too, all that lives, dies, and in dying, value finds.
Thy vaunted eternity is but hollow slumber.
Beast of Disaster, evil born of mankind's folly,
thy benevolence which desired regression shews thy rejection's roots.
Thou fallen god, to beasthood turned,
if "Primordial Mother" be thy title, attend, and hear my name.
From the mountain abyss, I come, and only death do I bring.
I am the Old Man of the Mountain, the First Hassan-i Sabbah!
