Chapter 334: Sea of Life
Lu Xiao and Artoria, who were returning to Uruk, noticed the movement over the southern sea, and the sound of violent explosions spread outward with dazzling light and shadow effects.
Artoria narrowed her eyes slightly in the bright light: "Who has liberated the Noble Phantasm?" ”
"Ishtar, presumably."
Lu Xiao said with some regret: "To be honest, this shot is a bit wasteful, but considering Tiamat who has just obtained the Holy Grail, Fujimaru's decision is understandable." ”
Artoria turned her head in confusion: "You seem to know a lot of information about this peculiarity, will anything big happen next?" ”
Lu Xiao nodded noncommittally: "Sort of, but the future is not static, we are facing Tiamat at the level of the Creation God, and the role that clairvoyance can play is limited after all." ”
Knowing in advance the plot of the seventh anomaly can indeed take advantage of some details, but in front of Tiamat's overwhelming strength, foreknowledge and cleverness cannot play a decisive role.
With Tiamat absorbing the Holy Grail, the real showdown is just beginning.
The half-dormant Rahemu in the sea seemed to be suddenly stimulated, and one by one they poked their heads out of the water, and their backs grew wings like their former companions who had held the Holy Grail.
The hollow blasted by Ishtar's Noble Phantasm was still in the sea, and Tiamat did not move.
Far away in Chaldea, Romani could not detect Tiamat's magic fluctuations, and once thought that she had died under the bombardment of the Noble Phantasm.
Quetzalcoatl still remembered Lu Xiao's reminder, and she rode the Anemo Pterodactyl and glanced around vigilantly, and was the first to notice the abnormality of the Rahmu.
"Don't rejoice too soon, look at the form of Rahmu."
Quezar Koyatl pointed to Rahmu, who was gradually taking off from the sea: "Tiamat is alive!" The power of the Holy Grail is beginning to affect Rahmu. ”
"What?!"
Romani retorted incredulously: "Impossible! Tiamat's biological response is indeed ...... Wait a minute! ”
The Chaldean detection device emitted a piercing warning sound, and the once-disappeared Tiamat magic reaction was growing exponentially.
"Not good! Fujimaru, Matthew! Evacuate from the sea immediately! ”
Alerted by Quetzalcoatl in advance, both Anemo pterosaurs began to turn around and fly in the direction of land, and Ishtar, who was unknown for some reason, could only keep up with the large army.
Lu Xiao and Artoria ignored the changes in the south, and after landing in Uruk, Lu Xiao first carried the unconscious Jin Gu into the sacrificial ground where Gilgamesh was.
As always, Siduri followed the king to assist, and she sorted out all the clay tablets and handed them over to Gilgamesh for inspection.
While Gilgamesh was busy directing the remaining craftsmen and soldiers to complete the construction of Nabistin's Fang, Siduri first noticed Lu Xiao and Artoria, and naturally saw the familiar green-haired man on Lu Xiao's shoulder.
"Well...... No, Jin Gu? ”
Siduri's exclamation caught Gilgamesh's attention, and he turned his gaze to the two approaching as they approached.
Gilgamesh saw through the void of Jin Gu at a glance, and there was no Holy Grail as the core in his body.
"Has the mission to reclaim the Holy Grail failed?"
"Yes, we're a step late."
Lu Xiao took Jin Gu off his shoulder and put it flat on the ground: "When we found Jin Gu's whereabouts, he happened to be snatched away from behind by Rahmu, we tried our best, but in the end we were escaped by Rahmu, who only held the power of the Holy Grail. ”
Gilgamesh waved his hand: "Well, this is also expected by this king." ”
Temporarily pausing from work, Gilgamesh stepped down from the throne and crouched down in front of Jin Gu, gently touching the large hole in his chest where no blood was flowing.
"Siduri."
"Yes."
Gilgamesh lifted Jin Gu from the ground in a princess posture: "The tooth of Nabisteen is almost complete, and if this king expects it to be true, it will not be long before Uruk will no longer need the king's overall command." ”
"You come and finish for me, I have something I want to ask him."
Siduli had a gentle smile on her face, and bowed slightly to watch Gilgamesh leave: "Yes, please leave it to me." ”
Not long after Gilgamesh left, a huge magic force that was difficult to describe surged from the direction of the sea south of Uruk.
Depending on the origin and personality, each person's magic gives people different feelings.
At this time, the magic that Lu Xiao felt was completely different from the humans he had seen, and a large number of negative emotions mixed with the magic could even be detected by ordinary people who took refuge in the sacrificial ground.
Leaving the sacrificial ground and climbing to the divine tower to pause, Lu Xiao intuitively saw the abnormal changes in the direction of the sea.
The overwhelming Rahmu flapped its wings and flew in the sky, and the dense small black dots were very visually stunning.
Surrounded by these Rahmu, a huge figure was suspended in mid-air, and the familiar starry eyes made Lu Xiao recognize her at a glance.
"The main body has finally appeared."
Tiamat, who was floating on the sea before, was only about 1.6 meters tall as a normal person, and her presence was very amazing.
At this time, Tiamat's height even surpassed that of Uruk's tallest mountain, Abbif, and his whole body was enlarged in equal proportions as if it was inflated, and dark red magic patterns appeared on the two large cyan horns, which looked very strange.
Not to mention Tiamat's form, what worries Lu Xiao even more is the muddy black mud covering the surface of the sea.
The black mud of Fuyuki is the embodiment of the evil of this world, and it has the effect of corroding the mind, and it has a great impact on the spirit, but people with strong willpower can barely resist it.
The black mud brought by Tiamat is a distorted manifestation of his own ability to create life, and the power of the primordial sea of life is even more terrifying.
All lifeforms that are consumed by the black mud will be transformed by Tiamat's powers, lose themselves and become her "children", and become Mabao men (women) who only obey Tiamat's orders.
Quetzalcoatl's Aeolus Pterodactyl managed to escape Rahmu's pursuit, and the Uruk defenders used the Divine Seal magic cannon on the city walls to stop the small number of Rahmu who broke away from the main army.
The oppressive Tiamat was suspended in the sea of life and slowly moved towards Uruk, and the black mud that spread like a fungus carpet was also approaching Uruk.
As soon as the Aeolus pterosaur landed, Fujimaru hurriedly jumped off the dragon's back and anxiously asked the soldiers guarding outside the sacrificial ground, "What about King Gilgamesh?" We have something important to report! ”
……
No one knew what Gilgamesh and Jingu had said to each other, and when the King of Uruk returned to the sacrificial ground alone, his expression was very solemn, but there was a hint of pleasure in his eyes.
"I already know the situation."
Immediately after returning to the throne, Gilgamesh regained command.
"All obey the king's commands!"
"Free the Nabisteen Fangs, the soldiers who are still alive go to the city wall to manipulate the theocratic seal to attack!"
"The final battle has arrived, dedicate all your strength to Tiamat, the Sumerian god of creation, to witness the growth of humanity!"
