"So, this is the Demon God King and the Primordial Mother Goddess?"
Tamamo-no-Mae gazed at the two beings whose power surpassed imagination, finding it all rather intriguing.
Deep down, she sensed that once her nine tails were fully gathered, she might stand among them as an equal.
"The Demon God King, like Naless, can traverse human history and descend into any era. It was he who personally delivered the Holy Grail in the past," rlin nodded in agreent.
Tamamo-no-Mae looked at her in surprise: "So, you can also traverse human history?"
Don’t forget, in the previous Singularity, she had traveled from Avalon 1,500 years ago to Uruk 4,600 years in the past.
Going back over 2,000 years!
"Of course not! My thod is much clumsier—I basically used magecraft to run all the way there."
rlin replied sowhat awkwardly.
As a fellow Grand Servant, she was still far inferior to that Demon God King.
At that mont.
On the screen.
The Demon God King left his final words: "O Primordial Mother Goddess, unleash your wrath to your heart’s content. I shall awaken more gods and Evils of Humanity, igniting all of human history!"
After speaking, his figure abruptly vanished, traveling along the river of ti to another gathering place of gods.
anwhile, Kingu also left the Imaginary Number Space and returned to the mortal world.
A painfully familiar figure appeared in the Imaginary Number Space.
It was rlin!
Wielding her staff, she caused endless flowers to bloom, forcing Tiamat—who had already been forcibly awakened by the Demon God King—back into slumber.
Tamamo-no-Mae stared at her in astonishnt: "You actually did sothing useful?"
Not just her—every single viewer in the comnts section was shocked.
Countless onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes. Since when did the "Heartless rlin" ever do anything good?
"Hehe, soone as kind-hearted as would never do anything bad, right?" rlin batted her innocent eyes, deliberately acting cute.
This instantly sent a shiver down Tamamo-no-Mae’s spine.
Those red eyes unconsciously reminded her of the Demon God King’s crimson gaze.
Too terrifying—her innocent act was downright unbearable.
The video continued.
Ti passed swiftly for the slumbering Tiamat.
It reached the point where Naless unleashed his Grand-level charm, effortlessly winning over goddess after goddess, dismantling the Three Goddess Alliance one by one.
Ereshkigal, Quetzalcoatl, Ishtar, Jaguar Man—deity after deity fell under his spell.
Even the Beast Goddess, who most desired humanity’s destruction, was halfway chard—her rationality restored.
Ana!
Naless led a group of gods to defeat the Beast Goddess, restoring her reason.
The Beast Goddess had been using the authority of the Primordial Mother Goddess to freely create demonic beasts.
After her defeat, Tiamat slowly opened her eyes.
rlin, who had been maintaining the illusion, suddenly panicked: "Why is she still waking up?"
Splat!
Tiamat swatted at him like a fly, instantly reducing him to dust!
Thus, the Grand Candidate Caster began his Grand Marathon from Avalon.
Her true self ran all the way from Britain to Uruk!
The audience imdiately erupted—
-[Damn, a Grand Candidate Caster is nothing more than a fly in Tiamat’s eyes!]
-[Tiamat wasn’t just holding back—she was holding back the entire Pacific Ocean!]
-[Rejoice! The Heartless rlin finally received Tiamat’s righteous judgnt!]
-[So how long did the Heartless Marathon last?]
...
"Ah, no wonder Naless called rlin the Grand Marathon Runner!"
Roya shook her little head.
After sending Tiamat into the underworld, Naless had referred to him that way.
At least the Heartless One had done one decent thing.
Otherwise, Tiamat would have swept across the world long before Naless and the others arrived.
Later.
She froze for a mont, grabbing her golden twin tails with a puzzled expression. "Speaking of which, that Demon God King’s weird hairstyle really does resemble twin tails!"
"...What’s wrong?"
Souma looked at the little girl’s twin tails, feeling his heartbeat suddenly accelerate.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought the color looks a bit similar to mine."
Roya glanced at the strangely behaving boy. "By the way, you keep staring at my twin tails—are you imagining grabbing the steering wheel for output again?"
"Tch, as if! I was just thinking how ugly that guy is, so ugly he can’t even go outside. How could he possibly compare to you!"
Souma imdiately switched to flattery mode without hesitation.
"Heh, of course! I am the number one beauty in the world. A re terrifying and hideous Demon God King isn’t worthy of comparison!"
Roya righteously accepted the praise, lifting her chin proudly. At school, she was considered one of the top beauties, addressed by many as the princess young lady.
On the screen.
The previous brutal battles flashed by one after another.
Tiamat continued moving quietly toward Uruk.
Not even the combined efforts of the gods could stop her.
In the end, Kingu resolutely sacrificed himself, transforming into the Chains of Heaven to finally halt her advance.
Tiamat had been silently watching him all along.
Only now did everyone finally understand what Tiamat had said back then—
"Aaaaa (My child, I have always been watching you, for you are my eyes)."
The most despairing thing for Kingu was being unable to hear Tiamat’s voice, believing himself abandoned by her.
Yet in Tiamat’s eyes, he was her most important eyes—the ans through which she could observe the human world from the imaginary number space.
She had never given up on him, not even once.
Those Lahmus could never be considered her true children—they were rely sinful incarnations influenced by the Demon God King.
"Ah, poor Kingu. If only he’d known this, he probably wouldn’t have betrayed Tiamat," Roya murmured softly.
The Lahmus, upon being born, imdiately beca embodints of evil, devoid of any rationality.
Only Kingu was Tiamat’s most beloved child.
"True enough."
Souma nodded in agreent.
The main reason for Kingu’s betrayal was being backstabbed by the Lahmus.
Later, after being saved by Siduri and awakening the residual mories of the original Enkidu within him, he chose to sacrifice himself.
He looked down at his belt.
It was likely for this very reason that Enkidu was able to revive and return.
As the conversation between Naless and Tiamat unfolded within the [Nega-Genesis] bounded field—
"After I fight my last battle, I should go to the imaginary number space to accompany you. Or... you could co find instead."
Tiamat relinquished all resistance, allowing Gilgash to wield Ea and banish her to the imaginary number space.
At last, everything was over.
"Aaaaaa (Don’t forget )!"
Tiamat’s final tender farewell left countless hearts shattered.
Betrayed once more by her children, despite possessing the terrifying power to effortlessly annihilate humanity, she still forgave them without hesitation.
"What a gentle Tiamat!"
Roya couldn’t help but wipe the tears from the corners of her mouth.
She was the epito of a perfect mother, willingly letting humanity leave her embrace to soar freely.
Just as she had said—
[Don’t go, don’t abandon , and don’t love anymore...]
Humanity had grown up, leaving childhood behind, no longer needing a mother’s protection...
Watching Tiamat banished to the imaginary number space to endure eternal solitude, Roya wondered, "So... will She descend into the human world to find Naless?"
Earlier, Naless had promised to accompany her in the imaginary number space after defeating the Demon God King—clearly a broken promise.
"She probably won’t..."
Souma felt a sudden tightness in his chest, sensing extraordinary danger.
If a Beast were to forcefully descend, who could possibly stop it?
The video wasn’t over yet.
In the imaginary number space, there were no living beings, nor any concept of ti.
Only endless solitude.
Banished there, Tiamat could occasionally catch glimpses of the outside world.
Countless scenes flashed before her eyes.
She saw the Greek gods fixated on a human boy.
She saw China heading toward a bizarre and hopeless stagnant future.
She saw King Arthur of Britain, transford into the Lion King after death.
The rapidly shifting images suddenly slowed.
Tiamat’s violet-crossed eyes t the Lion King’s saintly blue gaze: "Aaaaa (Do you also choose to protect humanity?)"
"I am a creation of humanity. Without humans, even a divine being like cannot exist. Thus, I will protect them at all costs."
The Lion King calmly regarded her. "But unlike you, I will select only a small fraction of humanity—those who neither commit evil nor grow weary of doing good—to exist eternally with ."
"Aaaaa (You truly don’t understand human hearts, nor humanity itself.)" Tiamat replied.
"That doesn’t matter. I can preserve humanity eternally within my Holy Lance, ensuring they never betray ."
The Lion King responded indifferently. "You, who created humanity, were still discarded like trash. You’re the one who doesn’t understand human hearts!"
Thus, the two strongest bosses of their respective Singularities engaged in a dialogue transcending ti!
Countless viewers had an epiphany—
-[No wonder the Lion King knew who the next Singularity would be—they once argued about who didn’t understand human hearts!]
-[Stop fighting, you’re both very popular with the people!]
-[Honestly, Tiamat understands human hearts better—her gentle maternal love makes want to be a rebellious child so badly!]
-[But the Lion King’s aloofness and indifference also show a deep understanding of human hearts—just to be clear, I’m really not a masochist!]
"So, even Tiamom said you don’t understand human hearts?"
Mordred turned her head dumbfoundedly to look at her father beside her.
The first one to say this had been Tristan, and that guy regretted it imdiately afterward.
Later, she herself had said it once during the Battle of Camlann.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that even a Beast of Humanity would say the sa about her father!
"..."
Artoria’s expression remained calm, but inwardly, she felt incredibly awkward.
She had thought this was a private conversation between the two, sothing no one else could possibly know about. Yet, to her utter dismay, that damned Alaya had exposed it!
The Lion King was already her biggest black mark in history, and now this had added another layer to it.
After the broadcast of Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, the influence of the previous Singularity had already weakened significantly. But now, Alaya was deliberately dragging it out and rubbing salt in the wound.
As if afraid the whole world would forget!
Artoria’s saintly blue eyes calmly gazed at Mordred. "So, why do you call her ’Tiamom’?"
Your father is right here in front of you. Are you really going to betray to my face like this?
"Hmph, she’s way more motherly than you! She’s way more suited to be a mom!" Mordred retorted without hesitation.
If only her father had been a little gentler, a little more considerate back then, would she have even needed to rebel?
"Don’t forget, that’s a Beast of Humanity. Once she descends, she’ll threaten the very survival of mankind!"
Artoria coldly reminded her.
Three days without discipline, and you’re already trying to tear the roof off, Mordred.
Has my holy sword grown dull, or is my holy spear no longer sharp enough to pierce your defenses?
"Of course I know that. But it’s not like she can actually co to the human world anyway," Mordred replied dismissively.
For humanity, Tiamat was the greatest obstacle to the progress of civilization.
For Tiamat, if she didn’t destroy humanity, she would be forever exiled to the imaginary number space.
It was an irreconcilable conflict between them.
But still.
Naless had made a promise to her before, yet failed to keep it. Who knew if she would actually descend?
And if she did, if she ca to take Naless away—who could possibly stop her?
Mordred fell into deep thought.
A Beast of Humanity—even if she were ten tis stronger, she wouldn’t stand a chance against that!
The video blinked to its conclusion in an instant.
In the tiless, spaceless void of the imaginary number space, the Primordial Mother would continue her eternal solitude...
Against the backdrop of the lonely Tiamat, lines of narration appeared:
[Next Episode Preview]
[After journeying to the end of the Age of Gods in Uruk, humanity’s last Master, the naless Heroic Spirit who safeguards human history, will venture into the true era of the gods.]
[As the gods, crushed by the celestial invaders, face annihilation alongside human history, the true great hero arrives!]
As the preview narration ended, the screen abruptly darkened.
Countless people began speculating wildly about what the so-called "next episode preview" could an.
anwhile, a figure had already silently crossed the entire Pacific Ocean, arriving in Fuyuki City from the distant shores of the United States.
[The God of War] gazed at the peaceful city and smiled. "Naless, let’s see where you can run to now!"
A crippled Heroic Spirit with a shattered Spirit Origin—what right did he have to fight against a god like him?
Ding dong~
The God of War glanced at the notification that popped up on his wrist device: "Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia Side Story—The Primordial Mother? Whatever. It’s not like Tiamat can descend anyway. First, I’ll capture Naless!"
