[192] The Decisive Battle Between Humanity and Divinity—Uruk Still Stands Here [3]

Ushiwakamaru was utterly speechless.

Good grief, these two were really ready to team up and kill her!

In the video, the battle erupted instantly.

Dr. Roman exclaimed, "The corrupted Ushiwakamaru has merged with the dark tide behind her. Even if you vaporize her completely in an instant, you still can't kill her!"

"Heh, I'll slaughter all of you! To vaporize the entire ocean, you'd need a Noble Phantasm that gathers all the magical energy of this era!"

Ushiwakamaru pointed at the massive band of light in the sky, "In other words, only the Demon God King Goetia could do it!"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry!"

Nameless frowned slightly.

Hum~

A vast magical circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet, and majestic flames engulfed the two of them.

It was none other than his Reality Marble—

[Unlimited Blade Works!]

If he couldn't vaporize the entire ocean, he would drag it into his Reality Marble, which was akin to True Magic.

This would completely isolate her spiritual foundation from the ocean.

As long as she couldn't break through the Reality Marble, she would be utterly annihilated by him!

A divine-level being like the Beast Goddess would tear apart the Reality Marble the moment she was pulled in.

Unless Nameless sacrificed himself to summon countless versions of himself from across timelines, he wouldn't be able to match her.

But the corrupted Ushiwakamaru couldn't do that!

Behind Nameless, countless weapons rose densely into the air.

The sheer number was beyond imagination.

Ushiwakamaru moved like lightning, splitting into multiple clones in an attempt to resist.

However.

A barrage of Noble Phantasms—more terrifying than the King of Heroes' Gate of Babylon—turned her into a pincushion on the spot!

The audience erupted in laughter—

-[Damn, poor corrupted Ushiwakamaru couldn't even withstand Emiya the Great's bombardment!]

-[But this really highlights the gap between the King of Heroes and regular Servants!]

-[By the timeline, 36 Ushiwakamarus equal one King of Heroes!]

-[Ushiwakamaru should still be proud—Emiya the Great usually only unleashes Unlimited Blade Works against the King of Heroes or divine-tier Lion King!]

...

"Only lasted ten seconds???"

Ushiwakamaru was dumbfounded.

She had thought the gap between her and Nameless existed, but not to this extent!

Damn it, even if I'm the corrupted version, shouldn't I at least get a little respect?

So, why are you in such a hurry?

In the video.

The Reality Marble abruptly ended.

The corrupted Ushiwakamaru's Spirit Origin had been utterly obliterated by Nameless, yet she wore a cruel smile: "Useless! You're doomed to destruction! I've already fed the Holy Grail to Tiamat—you're finished!"

In the distance, the colossal figure of Tiamat began radiating a dazzling golden light.

The Holy Grail had long been secretly passed to a Lahmu by her, delivered straight to Tiamat!

There was no stopping it now.

With the Holy Grail in hand, Tiamat would march forward unopposed—annihilating humanity!

"Let's consult the King of Heroes and prepare for the final battle!" Nameless waved his hand.

Their previous conquests against the goddesses had all been leading to this ultimate confrontation.

But before that, there was one more thing he had to do...

The scene shifted.

Kingu, who had earlier been impaled through the heart, staggered away in retreat.

A swarm of Lahmu closed in, intent on killing her on the spot.

Strangely.

One of the Lahmu suddenly turned on the others, slaughtering them mercilessly!

"Why are they fighting each other???" Kingu muttered in confusion.

Then.

The odd Lahmu eliminated all the other monsters, though it too was on the verge of death.

Kingu asked, "Why did you save me?"

"Run... away... now, Kingu!"

The Lahmu spoke haltingly, word by word.

"You're... that priestess who was taken yesterday? Why would you save me?"

Kingu stared blankly at it.

She had been the one to order its capture and transformation into a monster—shouldn't it want her dead?

"Please... be happy... You must... find happiness! The King's... dearest friend... Enkidu!"

Its voice grew increasingly urgent. "You and Nameless... gave the King everything... made him the wise ruler in everyone's hearts. Your death... saddened us all... saddened me too."

"So... you must be happy... Enkidu... beautiful green one..."

"I'm glad... I could say thank you... so glad... thank you... thank you..."

Though it was a monster, it spoke with human emotion, thanking her over and over.

These words.

Made Kingu's eyes suddenly well with tears: "What's happening? I don't even know you! Why... why do I recognize your face? Why do I know your name is Siduri?"

"Why are you thanking me? I don't deserve this!"

Tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

A divine weapon without a heart, yet in this moment she wept like a child.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

She could no longer hold back her sobs.

Simultaneously.

Countless viewers watching this scene also burst into tears—

-[Dammit! Alaya, you old bastard, you're stabbing us in the heart again!]

-[Ahhh, got bricks in my eyes—who can withstand this!]

-[Well played, Alaya! Forcing the kind and gentle Siduri to kill, then making us watch her die before our eyes!]

-[I can't take it—a six-foot-tall grown man crying like a dog! This is too painful!]

Even though the earlier dialogue in the palace had mentally prepared many.

At this moment.

Everyone still felt overwhelming sorrow.

That supremely gentle and kind high priestess, even as a monster, continued saving others.

Even the mighty divine weapon was deeply moved by her!

One after another, Lahmu charged forward.

Forcing the grieving Kingu to stagger away in retreat.

Calm returned.

Only that peculiar Lahmu remained fallen on the ground.

Just then.

Two more figures silently appeared.

It was Nameless and Ereshkigal.

Nameless sighed softly, "Thank you for your trouble. Please expend your divine power to extract and preserve her soul."

"Hmph, always asking favors of me... and never visiting me in the Underworld..."

Ereshkigal's cheeks flushed slightly by the end of her complaint. "Damn it! This is the last time!"

Just as she had preserved Enkidu's remnant soul before.

This time, she again spared no effort, consuming part of her divine essence to forcibly gather Siduri's scattered soul fragments.

"Yes, truly, thank you, Ereshkigal."

Nameless expressed his gratitude solemnly once more.

Realizing Siduri would inevitably become a Lahmu, he had conceived this sole remedy.

Having Ereshkigal collect the residual soul essence to restore it over an extended period.

Awaiting a future reunion with the King of Heroes as a heroic spirit.

This was the surprise he had prepared for the King of Heroes.

The audience erupted in cheers instantly—

-[Holy shit! Nameless, you absolute legend!]

-[Nameless is OP! Ereshkigal's adorable too! This is amazing!]

-[They totally played with our emotions earlier, but at least kind Siduri gets to live on!]
