FATE: The Man with Divine Keys

"You know, perhaps from now on, there won't be a single person from Uruk."

Seeing the emotionless Gilgamesh, Arkhan spoke up with a solemn tone.

"However, hundreds and thousands of years later, people will still remember that here existed a group who dared to challenge gods and defend their homeland, belonging to a great civilization called Uruk."

"..."

"Guhahaha!"

After a moment of silence, Gilgamesh suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter echoing between heaven and earth.

"Well said!" Gilgamesh's lips curled into a wild grin. "Even if they are gods, so what? Perhaps they can easily destroy humans, but they can never defeat humanity!"

"It's good to be confident, but don't be too optimistic." Kingu chimed in calmly. "Don't think pulling Mother into the underworld will kill her. This is not her strongest form."

"Are you saying she can become even stronger?!"

Kingu's words instantly brought Ishtar's attention back from Vimana, her expression filled with shock.

Just dealing with Tiamat like this already made her feel extremely challenged, and now Kingu said that this wasn't even Tiamat's strongest form?

For a moment, Ishtar couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Could they really defeat Tiamat?

"That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?" Quetzalcoatl laughed. "For wrestlers, the stronger the opponent, the more fun the challenge."

"I don't see how this could be fun..." Ishtar rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I've been prepared for this." Arkhan smiled faintly. "Ereshkigal, how are things on your end?"

After a moment of waiting, Ereshkigal's voice echoed in his ears.

"The underworld has reached the designated position. Everything is ready."

"Good."

With a slight smile, Arkhan looked toward the towering figure slowly advancing amidst the black mud.

"Let's begin."

Vimana, originally flying toward the front, suddenly changed direction like a swift golden lightning bolt, heading straight for Tiamat.

Seeing this, the surrounding Lahmu surged madly, but they quickly dispersed under everyone's attacks.

Modified with the power of corruption, these Lahmu were weak to the point of being pitiful. Even an ordinary human could trade blows with them, let alone the powerful beings on Vimana.

Tiamat's beautiful but vacant face stared at the radiant ark speeding toward her, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Right now, let's do it!" Arkhan bellowed.

"Got it!" Quetzalcoatl took the lead, stepping forward, her body plummeting like a meteor toward the ground.

"When the morning star shines... let all know the Sun's light reaches every corner of the Earth!"

"Piedra del Sol!"

...

Noble Phantasm: Piedra Del Sol

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Army - Anti-Fortress

Description: Quetzalcoatl's trump card, an ancient Aztec megalith. It's said to depict the passage of time and all aspects of Aztec calendars. A stone with a diameter of 3.75 meters appears above her head, serving as a gate, channeling the authority of Quetzalcoatl herself as a divine being. It unleashes a devastating solar wind over a wide area, reflecting her divine authority.

...

*BOOOOOOOM!*

Like a sun rising from the sea, a blast of wind and heat instantly annihilated countless Lahmu.

Within several kilometers, the black mud evaporated almost instantly, turning into scorching magma.

*BOOM!*

With the support of the black mud gone, Tiamat could no longer support her massive body and collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, as Kingu looked down at Tiamat's situation, they sighed softly, suppressing their complex emotions while their face gradually hardened.

"Kingu, son of Tiamat, will show you the power of the Chains of Heaven! Mother's fury is a thing of the past. Now I will awaken the breath of the planet—"

"Enuma Elish!"

...

Noble Phantasm: Enuma Elish - O Humans, Let Us Restrain the Gods

Rank: A++

Type: Anti-Purge

...

*Rattle—*

In the next moment, countless golden chains emerged from the ground, tightly binding Tiamat's body. Amidst the radiant brilliance, Kingu's body transformed into a massive chain of light, descending like lightning toward the center of her forehead.

"AAAAAAAAAA—!"

Sensing the imminent danger, Tiamat instinctively erected countless barriers in front of her body.

"I won't let you succeed."

A cold woman voice suddenly echoed from a distance, followed by numerous brilliant meteors crashing toward the earth.

...

Noble Phantasm: Melammu Dingir: King's Signal Cannon

Rank: B

Type: Anti-Army - Anti-Fortress

...

On the walls of Uruk, Morgan, dressed in a black and blue dress, stood gazing indifferently at the towering figure of Tiamat in the distance.

Around her surged powerful magical energy, and in her hands, she held a clay-made grimoire, the seal of authority over the three hundred and sixty Babylonian magic cannons set atop the walls of Uruk.

This was one of Gilgamesh's cards against Tiamat, but controlling so many magic cannons unmanned was no easy feat, even for Gilgamesh himself, who risked exhausting his magical energy and perishing.

Fortunately, Morgan had long converted the entire city of Uruk into her Temple-level Territory. Magical energy was no issue for her, and she alone was enough to activate Melammu Dingir.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Amidst the deafening roar, under the fierce onslaught of Melammu Dingir, the barriers blocking Tiamat in front shattered layer by layer like fragile glass.

Swiftly, Kingu's attack followed suit.

Once used by the gods to connect heaven and earth, the Chains of Heaven now unleashed unparalleled power.

*BOOOOM!*

A massive chain of light pierced through Tiamat in an instant, rendering her completely immobilized.

"Ishtar!" Arkhan shouted loudly.

"Got it!"

Ishtar rode Maanna and flew into the air above Tiamat.

Taking a deep breath, her eyes instantly gleamed with a dazzling golden hue.

"Gate open!"

Ishtar raised the spear in her hand above her head, and soon, the previously dim sky suddenly transformed into a starry scene, as a huge golden sphere slowly descended from the starry sky.

...

Noble Phantasm: An Gal Ta Ki Gal Se: Kindling of Venus that Shook the Mountains

Rank: A++

Type: Anti-Mountain

Description: Based on the legend of Ishtar's destruction of Mount Ebih, this Noble Phantasm inserts the concept of Venus into Maanna as a bullet for launch. Even the gods tremble at such audacious behavior.

...

With a gesture from Ishtar, the large golden sphere instantly shrank into an arrow of light, resting on Maanna's bowstring.

"Annihilate them! An Gal Ta Ki Gal Se!"

The arrow of light, transformed from the concept of Venus, shot out like a meteor from the heavens, heading straight toward Tiamat's colossal body.

*BOOOOOOOM!*

The tremendous impact pierced through the ground like a force of nature, sending shockwaves in all directions, revealing a bottomless abyss below.

"AAAAAAAAAA—!"

Bound tightly by Kingu, Tiamat could only descend helplessly toward the underworld.

"We did it!"

Ishtar exclaimed excitedly, clenching her delicate fist, her face filled with elation.

Without delay, Gilgamesh piloted Vimana to land on the ground near the hole caused by the impact.

Standing at its edge were two figures—Quetzalcoatl and Kingu.

However, both of them were in extremely poor condition at this point, unable to participate in the following battle.

"We'll take it from here."

Arkhan affirmed, nodding resolutely to them.
