Feeding Tiamat the Holy Grail 1/4
In fact, at the beginning of the Great Flood, Samael and others did not come away empty-handed from their exploration of the Blood Temple of Fir Forest, Mount Epiph, the pillar of heaven and earth, and the Temple of Ea in Eridu.
These three nodes, forming an inverted triangle, drive the circulation of the land- Lower Waters in the Mesopotamian world.
Clearly, Apsu's Divine Foundation lies within it.
On the surface, the Temple of Blood is incubating Apsu's consciousness with the Gorgon the Beast Goddess, and Mount Epiph is wreaking havoc by the Bull of Heaven Gurra is destroying the seal of the underworld.
These two locations seem more likely to be where Apsu lived.
In contrast, the Temple of Ea in Eridu at the far end of the temple complex was much calmer, except for a few earthquakes.
Even the Abgal that appeared was killed by Quetzalcoatl, so it seems to pose no threat at all.
However, the overly calm reaction seemed more like a cover-up for fear of having one's weaknesses exposed.
Combined with the Mother Goddess Tiamat's resistance to Edessa, Samael harbored deep suspicions about this place.
Ultimately, Feathered Serpent God went to Edessa and his party to obtain the key records of the creation war that would verify this hypothesis.
According to historical records, Apsu, the Father of Creation first decided to destroy the Gods of Babylon, was defeated by the Earth God Ea.
The Temple of Ea was built on the remains of Apsu.
The gods dared to release this monster to cleanse the earth, so they must have the means to counter it.
Therefore, his Divine Foundation is buried deep beneath the Temple of Ea!
The ancient serpent had already reached this conclusion long before the Feathered Serpent God goddess transferred the incomplete Clay Tablet to Samael.
The problem is that knowing their weaknesses doesn't mean they could actually defeat the Father of Creation with their current strength.
Without the help of a powerful rank, even if you stake all your strength and go all in to fight this monster, the chances of winning are extremely slim.
Quetzalcoatl chose to evacuate from Edessa precisely to avoid this outcome.
After several discussions, the group unanimously decided to wait for Noah's Ark to be completed, so that it could carry the survivors away from the land and water systems and seek refuge in the Persian Gulf.
They plan to return to land once the floodwaters recede or once they can contact the Mother Goddess Tiamat.
However, plans can't keep up with changes.
Humanity underestimated Apsu's wisdom and cunning. This Father of Creation constantly controlled the gods and monsters, depleting Uruk's war potential.
Furthermore, it also caused Great Flood and torrential rains, systematically encroaching on land and accelerating the regeneration of the land and the formation of water systems.
As the monster rose to the surface, its ethereal body, formed from the black tide, was virtually immortal and managed to drag down the five goddesses, the Wedge of Heaven, and the Chain of Heaven.
As a result, even with the arrival of Noah's Ark, humanity's prudent plan to seek refuge in the Persian Gulf became a pipe dream.
At that time, the Father of Creation also underestimated humanity's will to resist, as well as the Mother Goddess Tiamat's love for life.
Those ants in his eyes never gave up the fight, and long before the final battle, they had memorized his weaknesses!
"The Mother Goddess, more precisely, should be the well in the Temple of Ea!"
On Noah's Ark, Samael narrowed his eyes, stroking the back of the clay tablet where Feathered Serpent God had left a record of their conversation. He sneered and shouted, continuing to provoke Apsu was clearly tense.
"Roar!"
The crimson-black dragon roared, its gaping maw frantically sucking in the surrounding Aether Particles, while a dazzling beam of light locked onto the Noah's Ark where Samael was located.
"Aaaaa!"
Tiamat crossed her arms over her chest, and her opening and closing Cross Star Pupils instantly turned dark and sinister. The jet-black beams shooting from her eyes immediately clashed with the red and black ethereal turbulence.
This talent ability, called [Dark Star Pupils], is precisely the ultimate technique for decomposing ether (commonly known as reducing NP), the Magic Beam of Gungnir Apsu.
He panicked! He panicked!
It seems that the Divine Foundation of Apsu is indeed buried beneath the well in the Temple of Ea!
Samael grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with mockery.
What was once just a guess has now become absolutely certain!
However, we need to add fuel to the fire and get this bastard on his way sooner.
The ancient serpent immediately transformed into Wyvern, grabbed the Holy Grail from the altar, which was stained with the divinity and blood of Ereshkigal and Ishtar, and flew towards the sky above the Mother Goddess Tiamat.
"Mother Goddess! Here we go!"
As the claws loosened, the gleaming Holy Grail immediately fell downwards and disappeared into the breast of the Mother Goddess Tiamat.
"Aaaaa..."
A joyful chant flowed from the mouth of this Mother of Origin, and beneath the surging golden light, the once scourge-ridden beast now resembled a jewel.
At that moment, Tiamat's eyes shone brightly, annihilating Apsu's destructive beam in one fell swoop and piercing it from head to tail.
The ferocious and terrifying red and black ether dragon instantly collapsed and disintegrated.
Hey, Tiamat, the Holy Grail! The achievement I've been dreaming of day and night!
Samael folded his wings and perched on the shoulder of the Mother Goddess Tiamat, gently nuzzling his head against the cheek of the Mother of Origin, enjoying the beauty of that close intimacy.
Furthermore, along with the buzzing of the threads within the brain, the heartbeat is also transmitted here.
Next, while the Apsu group is at large, we must immediately head to the Temple of Ea, uncover its Divine Foundation, and completely destroy this monster.
The Mother of Origin barely touched her head, her emerald wings folded, and her enormous body fell into the raging flood. She swam to the front of the three Noah's Ark and paused briefly.
This...
The one-armed general Tim, who was in charge of navigating, looked bewildered and puzzled.
"Noah's Ark is too slow, and Independent Action would likely make it vulnerable to attack."
"Therefore, the Mother Goddess will carry you along as quickly as possible to the Temple of Ea, to resolve the root cause of the Great Flood!"
Samael, who was in human form and responsible for conveying the divine decree, glanced at the ship full of high-level combatants who were paralyzed, as well as the Magecraft, priestesses and priests who were activating the Sorcery Array, and chuckled in response.
"Give me the task that involves Noah's Ark!"
Just as Tim was considering how to get the Mother of Origin to lead the ship forward, a pale-faced, Green-Haired Beauty emerged from the cabin, gently touching her chest, and solemnly responded.
Enkidu then created the Chain of Heaven, binding and locking the three Noah's Ark together.
Everything was ready. This Ark of Life, descending from the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, parted the Aether Tide and cleaved through the waves with lightning speed.
The ship rocked violently, and the water churned. The people in the cabin were initially in a state of panic, but their fear of the Origin God gradually subsided.
The sense of security of returning to one's mother's embrace arises spontaneously.
After many hardships and emotional ups and downs, many people, carrying idols of gods, leaned against the deck, cabin doors, and corridors, lowered their eyelids, and fell into a peaceful slumber.
Their sleeping postures were as serene as infants', their brows relaxed, and they faintly murmured in their dreams, containing the Divine Name Tiamat.
The Temple of Ea, right? I'll give you another twenty or thirty minutes to live!
Samael looked around at the deep darkness, chuckled coldly and whispered, then turned and went into the cabin to prepare for the final battle.
