Just as the Tezcatlipoca opened its mouth, Gilgamesh's cheerful voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"You arrived just in time."

Tezcatlipoca glanced back at the trio that had appeared with him.

"Hmph, after all, this is the final moment, and I am now free, so of course I should take a walk around and see what's happening."

Gilgamesh's appearance completely dispelled everyone's doubts about the Tezcatlipoca.

"Lord Carterippoka"

Siduri gave a slight bow. "Thank you for your help."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's just a transaction."

Tezcatlipoca waved his hand dismissively, instead inquiring about what concerned him more: the effects and situation of the King's Cannon.

The moment the King's Cannon was mentioned, Gilgamesh had just finished setting off fireworks with his own treasure, let out a mournful cry as if his elbow had been struck by an arrow.

It might feel good to throw money at someone, but it will only cause heartache afterwards.

However, the effect of throwing money at people was indeed powerful. In the north, two volleys of fire killed three-quarters of the Lahmu and completely cleared the battlefield. No matter how many there were, they were all just pieces of flesh under the bombardment.

"After all, those are weapons I designed, and treasures from my treasury!"

Gilgamesh already feeling some heartache.

But what's lost is lost, and there's no way to get it back. Apart from Ishtar, who was still crying and rolling around in grief after seeing Gilgamesh set off fireworks with the treasures in his treasury as promised, everyone else regained their composure.

Gilgamesh, in particular, was initially in a bad mood, but the thought that his portion for Ishtar had been completely destroyed inexplicably made him happy.

After all, treasure isn't a talisman; it's meaningless if you don't use it.

"Although we breathed a brief sigh of relief, this was only the final preparation. Fortunately, the group that Quetzalcoatl brought from Ur, along with you gods of unknown origin and those who defected at the last minute, plus Merlin and Merry's Magecraft, and Tiamat's black bread, have kept the casualties to a minimum. Now we finally have the ticket to confront Tiamat, and we can make our final preparations."

Gilgamesh said this, then looked to the other side.

They've done everything they could; now it's just that guy's turn to take over.

Whether he succeeds or not, whether it can be achieved, all depends on his efforts.

Chapter 301 The Manifestation of Evils of Humanity

"Has it been successfully stopped? Well done, King Gilgamesh..."

Inside the tower of Ishtar, Rovey looked up at the sky outside the window, which was gradually regaining its former colors, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although he didn't go outside, he could still easily sense the battle situation outside by relying on his perception abilities and the flow of magic between the Leyline and the outside world.

For example: the salvo from the King's Cannon, and the scene of the two Anchor of the Planet dispelling the dark clouds.

The attacking Lahmu have now been temporarily dealt with, and Tiamat's powers have been briefly suppressed by the Holy Lance. What follows is the final standoff.

"Tiamat-- "

Everything I've done, all my efforts so far, all the reason I've gotten this far is for this goal, for Tiamat.

Even though it was something that should have been prepared for long ago, and all the preliminaries had been completed, the final moment had arrived when it was his turn to wrap things up. However, when this final moment came, Rovey still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

--What if I fail, if I...

Thump!

Something heavy landed on Rovey, interrupting his reverie.

"Although there are still many things I don't understand, please don't look like that. Whatever awaits you, I will always be with you—"

"Nitocris ..."

Hearing the gentle voice beside him, Rovey regained his composure. He turned to look at Nitocris, who was watching him from the side, and instinctively caught the golden cup she tossed to him.

"... It's completely finished."

The golden cup that Rovey was holding was no longer a simple magical Holy Grail; it was a top-tier prototype created by fusing the Uruk Great Cup Holy Grail several magical chalices sculpted by Goetia. The magical content within it was so immense that if it were to explode, it could easily level the entire Mesopotamia.

However, if that's all, it's merely an enlarged source of magic; it can't have a decisive impact on Tiamat, so--

The blood of the Holy Son.

Wisdom from the Magic King.

The Babylon Treasury contained an inexhaustible supply of materials.

There were also heartfelt and sacred blessings from goddesses from different pantheons.

Everything was in place, and with the addition of sufficient rituals, this miraculous object was finally created.

Although it lacks True Magic called the Third Magic and doesn't gather the souls of several Servant, its true essence is infinitely close to the legendary God's Cup, capable of creating miracles. It is truly Savior's Cup that symbolizes miracles and hope.

Even Galahad, if Saint George were here, could not say that this is a fake, since the holiness of it is undeniable.

Upon seeing this thing, even Roman, who had once been King Solomon, couldn't help but marvel at how they had actually managed to create it, and at the same time, he felt even more confident about the final outcome.

After all, the fact that even the legendary God's Grail could be created is already an unimaginable miracle. The person who created such a miracle would no longer find it strange if he created any other miracle.

"Holy Grail, can you now grant my wish?"

Rovey held up the Holy Grail and spoke softly, but it sounded more like a question, as he looked at the golden cup in his hand.

Buzzing--

A slight vibration came from his hand, and as if in response to his question, the golden cup in his hand emitted several bright rays of light.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Seeing this, Rovey nodded slightly and then said.

Although the Holy Grail in his hand is shining, signifying completion and the miracles within are at work, some things are not so easily accomplished.

Everything follows the principle of equivalence; no miracle is omnipotent, not even the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail is indeed a miracle, but Tiamat's existence itself is also a miracle, and it is also a kind of revenge of the world itself against humanity. Using one miracle to diminish another miracle cannot be successful directly, so Rovey cannot use the Holy Grail to directly restore her to her original state; he must think of other solutions.

As for that method...

Rovey looked back at the Greater Grail in his hand.

With the Holy Grail, I can amplify the power of the skills I received from Solomon and the Noble Phantasm I inherited, and use them to move Tiamat out of this Singularity. Then, together with King Hassan and the Demon God Pillars, I can separate the beast and human sides and finally find a way to destroy the beast side.

Moreover, although this Holy Grail cannot fulfill such a broad and complex wish as saving Tiamat, some small miracles can still be fulfilled by that Mother of Creation. After all, the blessing on it contains the part that Tiamat left for him—the amulet made from Tiamat's breastplate has been incorporated into it, which will surely enable this Holy Grail to exert an effect that will surprise everyone. This is also the final path paved for achieving ultimate victory.

The miracle of reversing the Nega-Genesis is right here.

The method to lure Tiamat out is also this one.

Now, everything is ready, so all that's left is to begin.

Rovey held the Holy Grail with unwavering determination, his heart filled with resignation and preparation.

"Although I still think it's reckless, you've created such a miracle, and you've shown me how miracles are born and continue. So I have no right to say anything. After all, I'm just an incompetent and selfish coward. I'm the one who caused all this trouble."

Looking at that figure holding the Holy Grail, his body slightly upright, bathed in sunlight, as supreme as a god, Roman seemed to see again that sublime figure belonging to the gods from his dreams thousands of years ago.

Did I witness another miracle?

Honestly, someone like me gets blessed by the gods time and time again.

That's true in every stage of life...

But God, this time I will not pray to you, nor will I make any wishes that I will regret. What my heart truly desires has already been found.

My only wish right now is...

To enable everyone involved to survive again.

This is also my final wish, Solomon, no, Romani, to go from negative to zero.

Through the communicator, Dr. Roman lowered his head and spoke softly.

Although his voice was very soft, so soft that no one noticed, or he didn't even speak, it was merely his inner monologue, but the golden cup seemed to capture his sincere wish, emitting an imperceptible glimmer at its edge.

A faint smile appeared on Nitocris's face. Because of her faith and religion, she wouldn't make wishes on Christianity, but she still offered her own blessing. And it wasn't in the name of a goddess or Egypt pharaoh, but simply as a girl named Nitocris, offering her blessing to her beloved.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

I hope he can get what he wants.

"Lord Rovey Wei"

Nitocris suddenly called out Rovey's name, and just as she was about to step forward to give him a final hug and a blessing, suddenly...

"--Hahahaha!!"

Suddenly, a very pleasant sound rang out from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the heavy sound of the door opening, Gilgamesh, returning victorious, strode in with an air of arrogance, calling out to Rovey.

"Boy, I've accomplished everything on my end. How about yours? Is it finished as well?"

"Um."

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's question, Rovey nodded slightly. "Everything is ready."

As he spoke, he handed the Holy Grail to Gilgamesh to look at.

Upon seeing this item, even Gilgamesh, who had seen countless treasures, had his eyes light up, and he exclaimed, "Interesting, very interesting indeed..."

"I was worried about whether your flawed plan was secure and could actually proceed smoothly. I never expected you to secretly create something like this. It really surprised me."

Stroking the cup in his hand, Gilgamesh examined it carefully for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and finally gave it a very high evaluation.

"--Just from the miraculous power within this thing, and the blessings from so many goddesses, one can tell how extraordinary it is. Even if I were to use this thing to make a wish to replenish the lost treasure trove, I would surely be able to do so."

Gilgamesh uttered these words.

It's clear he still harbors a lot of resentment towards his treasure trove.

However, he certainly wouldn't make such a foolish wish with something so decisive; doing so would be Ishtar's doing.

After chuckling and understanding Rovey's preparations, he tossed the Holy Grail back and gave instructions.

"Boy, I am already aware of what you have accomplished. Since you have chosen such a difficult path, then go ahead and do it. No matter what happens next, never forget that you are the protagonist of this epic, not me! I have already given you such a dazzling stage; if you don't perform well, you will be ridiculed by future generations!"

"Whether it's left to future generations or to your father, do things well and let posterity remember our glory!"

"Um...!"

Rovey gripped the Holy Grail again, his expression becoming incredibly resolute.

Gilgamesh burst into laughter upon seeing this, put his arm around Rovey's shoulder, and was about to take this opportunity to talk to him about other things, but then he suddenly saw Nitocris standing to the side with a resentful look on her face.

"Oh, goddess of the Underworld, so you're here too."

He greeted Nitocris, completely unaware that he had just interrupted her final confession. At that moment, Nitocris wished she could drag him back into the Underworld and make him crawl out again.

However, since Gilgamesh has come, it's impossible that he's the only one who has come.

Kingu pillar by the door, looking into the distance. Then he glanced at Rovey, got up, and went to Rovey's side.

Seeing her approach, Rovey smiled slightly and said, "You've come..."

"Hmm, is everything ready on your end?"

"Yes, the Holy Grail has been completed. All the preliminary tasks are finished, and we can begin the final battle."

Rovey held up the Holy Grail and spoke to her, and Kingu nodded, replying with only a few words to Rovey—

"Mother has woken up."

On the other side, Chaldea.

After Chaldea's communications were restored, Dr. Roman immediately ran back to his command room from True Magic Merry's live stream.

At this moment, neither Da Vinci nor the Chaldea staff looked very happy.

Especially when the staff responsible for detecting the Arabian Sea detected unusual phenomena on the other side of the Arabian Sea, the atmosphere in the entire command room became extremely serious.

"Report, Da Vinci, Dr. Roman, a massive Spirit Origin fluctuation has been detected near the Arabian Sea. The exact size... ten meters, twenty meters, no! It's fifty meters!"

"It's not over yet! The Lahmu, which was just repelled, has started moving again! And—the entire planet's ecology has begun a new reshaping; the entire world's ecosystem has begun to be rebuilt!"

Upon hearing this, Roman and Da Vinci looked astonished, but they still immediately handed the communication over to Mash and Ritsuka.

At the same time, Mash and Ritsuka, who had just cleared up the misunderstanding and were walking on the city wall with Tezcatlipoca, suddenly felt the ground shaking.

The two supported each other, barely managing to avoid falling.

"What, what is that?!"
