668: Sea of Life
——【Beast Ⅱ】
Fujimaru Rika didn't understand the meaning of the beast rank, the elements that destroyed the human race, and now repairing the human body was enough to give him a headache, and he didn't have the extra energy to think about the nature of [Beast]. However, even if you don't understand the horror of the beast, you can understand the strength of the crown.
No real crown has been seen, but there are three Casters who are qualified for the crown.
This is just an ordinary spirit base, not a real crown.
By comparing it like this, you can guess that the strength of the crown is definitely the strongest heroic spirit he has ever seen.
It is such a powerful crown that theoretically requires seven horsemen to appear at the same time, and it is reasonable to crusade against a beast.
"Returning beast, is there really no way to avoid it? Didn't I say before that the destruction of human beings did not come from the origin of the god Tiamat, then it is impossible for the dignified goddess of creation to not even have basic knowledge, in that case..."
Fujimaru Rika frowned, the so-called beast is really tricky.
No, that's not at all an enemy that Uruk can fight against.
"Why do you think Mesopotania is the last and strongest anomaly? Is it just because of the antiquity of the times and the manifestation of the gods? From the very beginning, the Magic King was precisely to awaken the seven human evils and bring the Holy Grail to this era. Gilgamesh said lightly.
"Fujimaru-kun, the beast is a device of human destruction, and from the moment it becomes a beast, the so-called rationality and intellect are not too meaningful, even if they remain. You just said that the god Tiamat you saw was bound to all four limbs, right? Merlin also explained in a seductive way.
"Yes, that's right."
- Wait, restraint. Who can bind the Mother Goddess of Creation?
That is already the last protection of a loving mother for her child. It is the nature and instinct of beasts to destroy human beings, just as human beings need to take food, which is inevitable. ”
Merlin, as a teacher, has a much better temper than Gilgamesh, and because of this, he has to make everyone face reality.
"Prepare for the next opponent we need to face is the true Mother Goddess of Creation, the catastrophe itself that can destroy the primate world."
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent, and everyone present felt a heavy and unbreathable sense of depression.
- Beast.
Is the existence of a person above the crown really an enemy that can be defeated by manpower?
Not only Fujimaru Rika, but looking at the faces of the strongest people here, you can know that there is no certainty of nine out of ten.
"Alright, put away the languishing expressions on your faces, if you choose to give up because your opponent is strong, your fame, glory, dreams, ideas and lives will all end. Moreover, we have prepared for the existence of the god Tiamat, and if you still do not have faith, then believe in this king, and this king will lead you. ”
Gilgamesh's confident voice echoed through the tower.
But, is he really so confident?
Bai Hua looked at it silently, and sighed in his heart.
- No, I don't.
It's not self-confidence, it's helplessness. Because Gilgamesh, as the king, as a leader, must show that he is stronger than anyone else, and he must be tenacious. If even he falls, who will be able to lead the people, who will be able to raise the courage to fight?
"Let's share information first. Hey, Chaldeans, have you given up? If you want to die a little longer, you will immediately show your worth. ”
“······ Who would give up, this will show you what Chaldea is capable of! ”
On the other end of the communication of the watch-style dress, such a voice was heard.
Immediately after, a holographic projection appeared in the center of the crowd.
In the projection, it was Tiamat who had awakened and was still above the sea, and the sea around him was dyed with an ominous layer of blackness, constantly churning, as if something was going to emerge from it at any moment.
In fact, the same is true.
"That is Tiamat, the legendary Mother Goddess of Creation, who represents the concept of the sea. It is often said that 'the sea is the origin of life', and those black mud-like substances contain quite strong corrosive and magical reactions, and once touched, whether it is a servant, a human, or even a dead thing, its form and structure will be changed. In other words, once you get that black mud, it's all over. As he spoke, Romani made a sound rummaging for something, and seemed very hurried.
And rightfully so.
After all, Tiamat's own records are even more scarce, and even Chaldeans cannot provide complete information.
"Yes, the mother is the goddess who gives birth to life, and for the mother, it is instinct to create life. Those black creatures are the creations of the mother's instinct. Ishtar nodded in the affirmative.
"Those black mud are the manifestation of the power of the god Tiamat, which can erode living beings, copy the power to cells, and thus transform them into the dependents of the god Tiamat."
Gilgamesh pointed to the black sea in the image, and glanced at the crowd with a warning hint.
"The power of the mother, [self-transformation], [individual value-added], [life fusion], [cell compulsion], etc., once swallowed by the black mud, it will become an enemy, and it cannot be reversed no matter what."
"The second piece of information, the water level is abnormal." Gilgamesh glanced at Merlin.
Merlin suddenly understood, and stepped forward with a smile.
"Because all the observatories everywhere are gone, and I measure the water level and all other things. Ever since the Holy Grail was taken away by the god Tiamat, the water level has been rising in minutes. In the same way, those black mud seas will also land with the sea that floods Mesopotania, and all life will be eroded by black mud. As he spoke, Merlin paused: "Casually, those black mud are not only powers, but also the instincts of the god Tiamat, which will be continuously released as long as they exist, so as to transform the ecological environment." ”
In other words, as long as Tiamat wakes up, it will inevitably swallow the entire land of Mesopotania over time.
The history of mankind will also come to an end.
"Is this the so-called, even involuntary, willing to destroy humanity?" Fujimaru Rika murmured in a low voice, her face pale.
"That's it, the Mother Goddess of Creation instinctively creates life. At the same time, in order to better create life, transforming the ecosystem into a primitive environment unsuitable for human survival is also the destruction of human beings. Altaïr said with a sigh of regret.
Was the destruction of humanity really Tiamat's intention?
Not.
Just like Tiamat they had seen, they had sealed themselves and created restraints on their bodies, just waiting there in silence, as if they had given their lives to their beastly enemies. His incomprehensible voice was more like a lament than an attack, a lament for fate, a child's retention, and a lament for being a beast.
