The Concealed One

Upon witnessing this scene, Gilgamesh, who stood high above the palace, was stunned.

He saw the problem with the Ley Line of this continent more clearly than anyone else; it wasn't something that could be solved simply by purification. It was permanent destruction and damage, and it was virtually impossible for Tiamat, who had lost her authority, to repair it. That's why he was so pessimistic. But what exactly was it...?

He stared at Tiamat below, his eyes growing increasingly astonished, for he saw Tiamat's already petite body gradually dissipating, slowly merging into the earth's Leyline, while the once-dead land began to regain its color.

At that moment, he understood how all of this had been accomplished.

Although Tiamat's divinity was diminished and she willingly relinquished everything, the Mother of Creation remains the Mother of Creation. Her body is still the best material in Sumerian Mythology for constructing the three realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld, and is the benchmark of this world.

It would be impossible for Tiamat to rebuild the three realms with her current weak body, but it wouldn't be a problem if she were only repairing the Leyline of the human realm.

In other words, Tiamat repaired the Ley Line with her own body; she revived the dead earth and the planet's Ley Line, ensuring they would never die again.

This was the last thing she could do as a mother.

This was also her final act of dealing with the calamity she had brought upon herself.

"Mother..."

Gilgamesh stared blankly at the land before him, which was beginning to revive.

He was about to go down when he soon received a message from someone.

"King Gilgamesh, something has happened that requires your help. Please come quickly."

--

On the other side.

"... Mother, are you really going to do this?"

Below, Kingu watched Tiamat re-merge her body into the earth, tears streaming down his face.

"Aaaaaaa."

Tiamat gently patted her head, softly comforting Kingu with a tender smile on her face.

But seeing that smile only intensified Kingu's inner turmoil.

As a child born on this land, and having merged with Enkidu's body, she could feel the death of Sumerian and the weeping of life. She also understood the impact of this disaster on the world, but she never imagined that her mother would use such a method to repair the land.

In that case...

What has all our efforts so far amounted to?!

Kingu couldn't suppress her emotions and wanted to stop Tiamat, but she couldn't speak. She knew very well that this was her mother's way of atoning for her actions, and it was her determination that couldn't be stopped.

So in the end, she could only watch helplessly as her mother gave back to this land.

During this time, she also tried to pull Rovey over to stop her mother, but Rovey, who already knew about the situation, just smiled and shook his head, telling her not to worry.

"Mother..."

Kingu suppressed his pain and sobbed incessantly.

Finally, watching Tiamat's disappearing body, Kingu's eyes filled with tears as he reached out to grab her hand. However, before he could touch her, Tiamat's petite body had already turned into spirit particles and vanished.

Kingu grasped the scattered spiritual particles and looked towards the edge of the earth.

"Mother... I will carry on your will to protect this land you gave your life for. I will protect it for you no matter what..."

Kingu grabbed the spirit particles and scattered them towards the ground. The spirit particles that Tiamat had transformed into drifted like snowflakes in the wind, falling to the earth before disappearing completely.

Having witnessed everything, experienced everything, and come to understand everything with his mother, Kingu's state of mind underwent a transformation at this moment.

At this moment, she no longer felt the hatred she once had for those gods who had betrayed her mother, or for the humans living in her mother's body. For these were things her mother had given her life to protect, and she would not let her mother's sacrifice be in vain.

For the rest of her life, no matter how long it takes, she will remain on the land her mother protected with her life, watching over everything her mother loved in her place.

Not long after--

She made a special trip to the Ley Line node in Uruk to find Rovey, who had been busy with the following matters, and hoped that he could come with her to the place where her mother disappeared to pay respects to Tiamat and send her mother off on her final journey.

But after hearing her purpose, Rovey smiled and refused, telling her there was no need, that he was doing something very important, and that she should wait a little longer.

When she saw Rovey say such things, and even laugh after her mother disappeared, with such a nonchalant attitude as if nothing had happened, Kingu's anger flared up, and she finally launched an attack on Rovey.

Splash splash splash splash--!!

In a fit of anger, Kingu raised her arm, and the next moment, a golden chain shot out from her sleeve, heading straight for Rovey's face, but it was quickly blocked by a white figure that darted out from elsewhere.

"Huh? Huh? Big brother was only gone for a little while, why are you fighting already?"

Known as the Magus of Flowers, but actually the Sword Saint of Avalon, Merlin, carrying his staff, came to the rescue just in time, easily raising his hand to knock away many of the chains shot by Kingu.

"It's you!"

Seeing his attack blocked by Merlin, Kingu's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared intently at Rovey. Tiamat's most beloved person was him, and the person he cared about most was him. Even at this moment, when his mother had sacrificed herself for the world, this guy was unwilling to even pay respects to his mother once, and was unwilling to see her one last time before she died. Such behavior filled Kingu with immense anger.

Knowing Kingu's anger all along, Rovey had already told her that Tiamat wouldn't die, that he had more important things to do, and that she should wait a little longer. But to Kingu, who had witnessed her mother merge into the Ley Line, this was nothing more than a delaying tactic. In her anger, she thought this was yet another deception from Rovey, and she was determined to take him to her mother's grave to pay her respects.

"Come with me!!"

Kingu suddenly exerted force with her feet, her body rushing towards Rovey like a sharp sword. Just as she was about to reach out and take him away, a hand grabbed her shoulder even faster.

Kingu turned her head and saw that it was Gilgamesh had grabbed her arm and was staring at her with his scarlet eyes.

Kingu strength, but because of Enkidu's will, she did not attack Gilgamesh. Instead, she asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this, Gilgamesh?"

"Calm down first, let that kid finish speaking. Things aren't as bad as you think," Gilgamesh said in a deep voice.

"--?"

Kingu still glared angrily at Rovey.

"I know you're agitated, but you're completely blinded by anger right now. I told you to wait a bit." Rovey replied with a helpless expression, "Since you won't listen to me, let her talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Kingu frowned.

At that moment, the newly restored Ley Line underground began to gather a massive amount of magical power, and a dazzling spiritual light flashed in the room behind Rovey. Then, a familiar figure was summoned.

As soon as that familiar aura appeared, the people present couldn't help but turn their heads to look over.

A petite and adorable figure appeared before them. She had a small body and fair skin, with a head of azure hair and a pair of cute dragon horns. From a distance, dressed in a suitable dress, she looked like a newly blossoming lily.

Merlin raised an eyebrow at the summoned Magus and said, "You actually managed to do that?"

"Of course, after all, we have so many helpful people here."

The one who answered Merlin afterward was not Rovey, but Merry, who came out of the room with a petite girl, and many other figures behind her.

Scáthach, known as the Magecraft Queen, Nitocris smiled at Rovey. The two of them had contributed significantly to this major project using different Magecraft bases.

Then, the Demon God Pillars, led by Lev, appeared and immediately knelt on the ground, saying excitedly.

"Your Majesty, we have fulfilled our mission. Tiamat's Spirit Origin adjustment is complete."

Indeed, this girl who was just summoned is Tiamat, who recently sacrificed herself to the earth, abandoning her divinity and beast-like nature!

"I see... After abandoning its physical body, Tiamat was reconstructed as a soul, mimicking the form of Demon God Pillars. You surprise me..."

Gilgamesh had been summoned to witness the outcome, nodded as he looked at Tiamat had been resurrected as Heroic Spirit.

With his Clairvoyance, he could easily see Tiamat's current state—she had relinquished divinity, power, and finally, her physical body. Tiamat had truly given up her identity as the Primal Mother, completely severing ties with the Sumerian civilization, existing solely as Tiamat. She no longer owed the Sumerian civilization anything, and neither the Sumerian land nor this world could restrain her anymore. This was a true rebirth of her freedom.

Even Gilgamesh couldn't help but smile when he saw that such a method existed.

"Mother...!"

"Aaaaa?"

Compared to Gilgamesh's surprise, Kingu burst into tears when he saw that familiar figure again, and then rushed into Tiamat's arms without hesitation. Tiamat also opened her arms and hugged her at that moment, embracing the child who caused her the most trouble.

"What a happy ending! I love this kind of ending the most."

Merlin smiled, and Gilgamesh, seeing Tiamat resurrected, was also in high spirits. With a wave of his hand, he was about to take Rovey to the victory celebration.

Just as Scáthach Nitocris were worried that Tiamat might have an accident since she hadn't fully recovered from her injuries, Merry peeked out and secretly approached Rovey, smiling as Rovey asked, "How was it, darling? I put in a lot of effort this time, so is there any reward for me?"

"A reward..."

Rovey Wei paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "What kind of reward do you want? Is experiencing this whole thing the best reward for you?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Merry's expression froze for a moment, then she stared intently at Rovey, a mischievous grin on her face, and said, "What a cunning excuse, but don't think you can fool me so easily."

She grabbed Rovey's collar, then suddenly leaned in and bit his lips without hesitation. Merlin, who was watching from the side, was stunned.

Am I this brave in another world?

This is much nicer than Tiamat!

He hurriedly picked up a camera that appeared out of nowhere and started snapping photos to record the scene.

After a long while, Merry finally released Rovey's collar, licked her lips, and, looking as if she hadn't had enough, spoke.

"Very well, this is just interest! You've just spent so much, now you can't escape, I've finally succeeded!"

"You bastard..."

Rovey clutched his head, looking pained, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, she was a perverted Nightmare made no attempt to hide her desires, and he had just exhausted so much energy that he couldn't escape her even if he wanted to.

But...

To be fair, after experiencing many things, his opinion of Merry did change.

However, more important than these things is his own situation.

Sensing an ominous premonition, Rovey turned around and saw several pairs of burning eyes staring intently at him. He could even hear Ritsuka and Mash's surprised voices.

Ritsuka: "So that's how Rovey- senpai and True Magic Merry are? Dr. Roman must be heartbroken!"

Mash: "Um, Rovey- senpai, cheating is not allowed."

Rovey: "--"

Artoria: "Have you thought about how you want to die, Merry?"

Chapter 315 The Crypter

It's over.

It's all over.

The disaster has come to an end, and all the enemies and farces have come to a close.

The Calamity Dragon was destroyed through the efforts of the Heroic Spirit, the goddess of creation, and all the living.

Even Goetia, the calamity demon who brought about the Humanity Incineration, successfully reformed. The magical aura of the Temple of Time Singularity and the circular band of light in the sky completely disappeared at this moment. The Human Order of the planet was restored, and the humans who disappeared because of the Humanity Incineration returned. The countless magical sources that could appear from the Imaginary Numbers World at any time, and the countless Lahmu, all disappeared at this moment. Even Tiamat, who had prepared to sacrifice herself and use her life to make amends for her mistakes, was reborn in another way with the help of many Magus and Heroic Spirit from different eras who possessed outstanding wisdom.

However, this was clearly a stable and positive situation, even a happy one for all. But Rovey, the protagonist who brought all of this together, was now in a new crisis. For him, this crisis was a thousand times more terrifying than facing Goetia.

"Um, Mr. Rovey, cheating is wrong... Miss Artoria will be angry."

As Mash's words, though not malicious but simply a well-intentioned reminder, reached his ears, the next moment, Rovey's body involuntarily shivered. He felt as if he were being watched by many eyes.

He turned his head weakly and saw that Tiamat, who had been exchanging Kingu and comforting Kingu, suddenly looked in his direction. However, her eyes, though pure and clear like gemstones, were flashing with a terrifying purple light, as if brewing some dangerous emotion.

Nitocris and Scáthach had already walked up to him with smiles on their faces. Although their eyes were filled with bright laughter, anyone could feel the murderous aura emanating from them.

Nitocris smiled and said to Rovey, "Lord Rovey, indeed, infidelity is bad..."

Upon hearing this, even Rovey's expression froze, and his mind raced as he considered how he could survive this situation.

Scáthach, just like Merry had done before, grabbed his collar without hesitation, then suddenly leaned closer, a wicked grin on her face, and said, "Yeah, I've helped you so much, so I definitely deserve some reward. Since that Nightmare has already taken it all, you should know exactly what to do with mine, right?"

As she spoke, her wine-red eyes resembled a pool reflecting the human heart, possessing a magical power that made one's heart race uncontrollably just by looking at them.

"Um... actually..."

Rovey waved his hand, about to say something, when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He looked down and saw Tiamat standing beside him, gently tugging at his sleeve, gesturing for him to look over.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Rovey lowered his head and asked.

"Aaaaaa."

Tiamat shook her head, then raised her bright, starry eyes, filled with anticipation. She then pointed to her lips, her meaning quite clear.

"Seriously? You want some too? What are you doing here, Tiamat?"

Seeing this, Rovey couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

If it were his Scathach, Merry, he could accept it; after all, they were adults who had known each other for a long time, and he could accept and understand each other's feelings. But Tiamat...

It wasn't that he disliked Tiamat; on the contrary, after everything they'd been through, he had genuinely come to like this kind and lovely girl. If things had progressed normally to this point, being together wouldn't have been a bad thing, but...

Looking at her petite figure and her slightly pouting lips as she stood on tiptoe, Rovey couldn't help but feel a little strange.
