Chapter Summaries

Gilgamesh's forces searched for Basmu while Lahmu planned to devour the last remaining Demonic Beast and destroy Uruk. At Lemoni's battlefield, Quetzalcoatl appeared and introduced herself as an independently summoned Servant, leaving the group surprised by Lemoni's earnest apology to her.

• Gilgamesh asked Zi Juan about Basmu's location, but Zi Juan and Ushiwakamaru said the Poison Dragon was difficult to track.
• Lahmu revealed that it had devoured four Demonic Beasts and intended to consume Basmu before destroying Uruk in accordance with its mother's wish.
• Lemoni and Jaguar Man's evenly matched battle paused when Quetzalcoatl appeared on a tree branch.
• Quetzalcoatl introduced herself as a Servant summoned into the Singularity, and Lemoni lowered his guard after hearing her explanation.
• Lemoni apologized for distrusting her divinity, stunning Quetzalcoatl before she laughed at his earnestness.

As Quetzalcoatl led Lemoni and the others through Eridu, Stheno worried that Lemoni would forget her and asked him to promise he would remember her. She then said her time was running out and kissed him.

• Quetzalcoatl guided Lemoni and the others through Eridu, where she explained that the king had died fighting Demonic Beasts.
• Stheno asked Lemoni whether he would remember her if she died, and he promised that he would never forget her.
• Stheno said her time was running out, then grasped Lemoni's face and kissed him.

Anna, Merlin, and the others witnessed Stheno kiss Lemoni and reveal her feelings for him. She asked him to remember their time together and answer her when they met again, and Lemoni promised he would.

• Anna turned around to look for Stheno and Lemoni, then spotted them kissing and fell into a stream.
• Merlin pulled Anna from the water, and the onlookers watched as Stheno pinned Lemoni down and kissed him.
• Stheno told Lemoni she had little time left and asked him to remember their shared record so he could answer her when they met again.
• Lemoni promised Stheno he would answer her in the future, and Stheno invited everyone to continue on.

Stheno reunited with Euryale and Anna, while Quetzalcoatl agreed to join Uruk’s forces after taking responsibility for Eridu. Lemoni resolved to attack Oushen’s nostrils the next time they were summoned together, and Merlin prepared to leave with Euryale.

• Stheno comforted Euryale and drew Anna into their reunion, while the sisters acknowledged Anna’s psychological pressure and postponed dealing with it.
• Euryale learned that Lemoni was Stheno’s hero and teased her after Stheno said they had made a promise to the Throne of Heroes.

• Merlin announced that he and the others would leave with Euryale while Quetzalcoatl remained in Eridu.

Gilgamesh learned that Abzu was growing stronger and that Tiamat might soon emerge, so he ordered Uruk's Servants to return and prepare to defend the city. Merlin and Lemoni accelerated their journey back to Uruk by carrying Merlin and the three goddesses through the air.

• Gilgamesh received a roar from Abzu through the communication mirror, and Enkidu reported that Abzu was becoming harder to restrain.

• Merlin told Lemoni that Tiamat's condition seemed to be worsening and that they needed to hurry back to Uruk.
• Lemoni offered to carry Merlin, Stheno, Euryale, and Anna, then used his Golden Spear to fly them toward Uruk.

Fujimaru Ritsuka’s group prepared for Tiamat’s approach when Lemoni, carrying Merlin and the three goddesses, crash-landed in Uruk. The arrivals survived, but Lemoni’s legs were trapped and apparently broken, so he asked Lawrence for treatment.

• Lawrence gave Fujimaru Ritsuka the simplified Divine Authority Seal and gemstones as Roman warned him to stay safe.
• Roman detected an unusual magical signature approaching Uruk, resembling Lemoni and Merlin’s overlapping signatures, and Lawrence prepared the group for battle.
• Lemoni arrived in Uruk carrying Merlin, Stheno, Euryale, and Anna, then slammed into the streets and carved two trenches with his legs.
• Stheno fainted after making Lemoni promise not to travel that way again, while Euryale and Anna also passed out and Merlin trembled from the landing.
• Lemoni asked Lawrence to treat his legs after he could not pull them free from the ground.

Lemoni returned to Uruk with Merlin and the three goddesses, where Lawrence revealed he knew Lemoni through Oushen. Gilgamesh confirmed that Tiamat would come to Uruk and accepted that the city could not be saved from destruction, but insisted humanity would survive.

• Lemoni woke briefly in Uruk, spoke with Lawrence, then fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others decided to carry Lemoni, Merlin, and the three goddesses back to their quarters.
• Enkidu reported the returning group to Gilgamesh, while Siduri said Ishtar and Nanshe were ready to respond when the Lahmu appeared.
• Gilgamesh tried to write that Uruk would not be destroyed on the Tablet of Destinies, but the words vanished.
• Gilgamesh told Enkidu that Tiamat would come to Uruk, but declared that Uruk's fall would not be humanity's end.

A massive Demonic Beast assault struck Uruk’s Demonic Beast Front as Adekate rallied the soldiers and Fujimaru Ritsuka joined the defense. Lawrence discovered that the beasts regenerated from black mud, suggesting the Lahmu was behind the endless attack, while a golden meteor shot out from Uruk.

• Bashmu fled from Lahmu across the wasteland as Lahmu pursued it, calling out about their mother and their plan to become the new humans.
• Adekate rallied Uruk’s soldiers against a vast horde of Demonic Beasts approaching the Demonic Beast Front.
• Gilgamesh ordered Uruk’s Servants to reinforce the front and warned Siduri not to let Nanshe or Ishtar fight unless Lahmu appeared.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka, Lawrence, Liao Ye, and Zi Juan fought the Demonic Beasts as the assault overwhelmed the battlefield.
• Lawrence and Roman confirmed that slain Demonic Beasts melted into black mud from which new beasts emerged, and Lawrence concluded that defeating Lahmu might stop them.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Roman to inform Gilgamesh about the discovery as a golden meteor launched from Uruk.

Lemoni’s Thunderous Golden Spear damaged the black mud and slowed the Demonic Beasts’ regeneration, but the heroes still needed to find and defeat Lahmu. As the battle intensified, Gilgamesh and Enkidu prepared for the final crisis threatening Uruk.

• Lemoni unleashed Thunderous Golden Spear, and its heat damaged the black mud enough to slow the Demonic Beasts’ regeneration.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Lawrence to contact Lemoni and send him to find Lahmu, while Gilgamesh tasked Merlin with locating Lahmu.
• Anna left to join the Demonic Beast Front, while Stheno and Euryale stayed behind at Gilgamesh’s direction.
• Gilgamesh told Enkidu that Lahmu would be immensely powerful and that Enkidu should prepare for the danger that followed it.
• Gilgamesh and Enkidu watched the battle from the roof as Gilgamesh directed the crossbowmen to prepare the Divine Authority Seal.

Lahmu chased the wounded Bashmu until Lemoni intervened, then faced attacks from Lemoni, Nanshe, and Ishtar. The Servants struggled to overcome Lahmu’s strange defenses as it laughed and gathered black mud again.

• Lahmu pursued Bashmu, whose poisonous flames could not harm it, and prepared to kill its wounded brother.
• Lemoni blasted Lahmu away from Bashmu, and Nanshe, Ishtar, and Merlin arrived to surround the Demonic Beast.
• Ishtar, Nanshe, and Lemoni attacked Lahmu, but it used black mud to evade their blows and countered Nanshe by twisting its body around.
• Lahmu gathered black mud and increased its magical power, so Lemoni warned Nanshe to protect herself and repeatedly detonated the Golden Spear.

Lemoni, Ishtar, Merlin, and Nanshe battled Lahmu, but the injured creature focused on its dying brother, Bashmu. Lahmu killed Bashmu and devoured its heart, leaving the Servants facing an even more dangerous enemy.

• Lemoni repeatedly detonated the Golden Spear, badly injuring Lahmu, before its roar sent him flying and left him too weakened to keep fighting.
• Merlin and Nanshe shielded the group from Lahmu’s roar while Nanshe used spring water to hold back the black mud.
• Ishtar realized Lahmu was targeting Bashmu and warned Merlin to move away.
• Bashmu reignited its green flames and roared, but Lahmu struck it, tore out its heart, and swallowed it.
• Lahmu’s aura grew even more dangerous after it devoured Bashmu’s heart.

Lahmu grew stronger after consuming Bashmu’s heart, taking Merlin out and badly injuring Lemoni while Nanshe held it off. Fujimaru Ritsuka led a team to aid Nanshe as Gilgamesh discovered that Kurgarru and Galatur had awakened, giving Uruk another way to resist the growing threat.

• Lahmu struck Merlin and Lemoni, and Merlin’s Saint Graph faded as he was taken out.
• Nanshe fought Lahmu while Ishtar evacuated the unconscious Lemoni and flew back to the Demonic Beast Front.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka sent Ishtar to safety and rode with Mash, Zi Juan, and Lawrence toward Nanshe’s position.
• Gilgamesh learned that Merlin had been taken out and considered using the Divine Authority Seal as demonic beasts surged toward the front.
• Kurgarru and Galatur awakened in the palace, and Gilgamesh decided he could spare the Divine Authority Seal for now.

Kurgarru and Galatur reached the Demonic Beast Front and unleashed the Shield of Humanity’s power, strengthening the defenders and weakening their enemies. Nanshe was badly wounded by Lahmu but was healed when Mash, Lawrence, and Zi Juan arrived to aid her.

• Gilgamesh and Enkidu discussed the Shield of Humanity and watched Kurgarru and Galatur head to the Demonic Beast Front.
• Kurgarru and Galatur released their magical energy, empowering humans and weakening demonic beasts.
• Adekate felt the Shield’s power, rallied the soldiers, and turned the battle at the Demonic Beast Front in Uruk’s favor.
• Lahmu overwhelmed Nanshe, tearing off her arm and badly wounding her as she struggled to escape.
• Lawrence used his Noble Phantasm to weaken Lahmu and restore Nanshe’s arm, while Mash and Zi Juan arrived to reinforce her.

Lawrence healed Nanshe while Mash and Zi Juan held Lahmu back, and the three Servants joined forces to exploit a breach in its armor. Nanshe prepared to unleash her Noble Phantasm as Lahmu struggled to gather magical energy.

• Lawrence gave Nanshe a gemstone to heal her injuries, then stayed behind to support the fight with magecraft.
• Mash and Zi Juan attacked Lahmu while Nanshe recovered, and Zi Juan’s spear opened a hole in its shell.
• Nanshe returned to the battle and, with Lawrence and Fujimaru Ritsuka supporting her, pressured the weakened Lahmu.
• Nanshe broke Lahmu’s teeth and drove her Springwater Sword into the gap in its shell while Mash and Zi Juan continued attacking.
• Nanshe drove her sword into the ground and prepared to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

Nanshe and Zi Juan combined their Noble Phantasms to destroy Lahmu, but Lahmu warned that Tiamat had already prepared for her return. As the group prepared to go back, the story shifted to the Persian Gulf, where Tiamat stood amid a sea covered in red-black mud.

• Fujimaru Ritsuka coordinated Nanshe’s attack with Zi Juan’s Noble Phantasm to prevent Lahmu from escaping into the black mud.
• Nanshe unleashed her springwater Noble Phantasm, exposing Lahmu to Zi Juan’s spear strike.
• Zi Juan pierced Lahmu’s core while Nanshe wounded its neck, and both survived Lahmu’s final counterattack.
• Lahmu accused Nanshe, Uruk, and the others of being traitors, then died after warning that Tiamat would return.
• Zi Juan prepared to return to the Demonic Beast Front and sensed something toward the sea.
• At the Persian Gulf, Tiamat stood amid red-black mud covering the sea.

After the Demonic Beasts stopped regenerating, Uruk’s defenders assessed the battlefield and reunited. Gilgamesh sent Ishtar to investigate Tiamat’s side, warning that she might not return, and promised to ensure Uruk’s possible destruction would not be in vain.

• Liao Ye and the defenders finished fighting the Demonic Beasts as the black mud began to disappear, and Adekate warned his troops not to touch it.
• Kurgarru and Galatur told Adekate that Fujimaru Ritsuka had dealt with Lahmu and that Lawrence could heal the wounded, while Merlin had left the field.
• Kurgarru and Galatur invited Adekate to meet them at the eastern tavern, but learned that Lemoni had drunk all its stock.
• Gilgamesh and Enkidu saw Ishtar arrive on Maanna, and Gilgamesh teased her for nearly using her Noble Phantasm after the Demonic Beasts had already fallen.
• Gilgamesh asked Ishtar to investigate Tiamat’s side because Enkidu could not leave Uruk, and Ishtar warned that she might not return.
• Ishtar demanded that Gilgamesh not let Uruk be destroyed for nothing, and he promised her he would not.

Abzu broke free in the Underworld, forcing Annanu to warn Gilgamesh that the Beast could reach Uruk within days. Meanwhile, Ishtar and Chaldea reached the black mud-covered Persian Gulf and found Tiamat waiting at its center.

• Abzu shattered Annanu's restraints and hurled him into a wall before Enkidu stayed behind to delay Abzu with the Chains of Heaven.
• Annanu switched places with Enkidu and told Gilgamesh that Abzu was climbing toward the surface and might arrive within five to seven days.
• Gilgamesh considered trying to keep Abzu in the Underworld and draw Tiamat there too, then decided to wait for Ishtar to wake their mother.
• Ishtar arrived at the Persian Gulf with Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, Lawrence, Zi Juan, and Ushiwakamaru, where they found the waters replaced by vast black mud.
• Ishtar pointed out Tiamat, who stood bound in the center of the black sea and sang to the group.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and her allies watched Ishtar attack Tiamat with her Noble Phantasm, but the blast did not destroy the Beast. Tiamat emerged from the black sea as a colossal figure and turned her gaze toward Uruk.

• Roman warned Fujimaru Ritsuka that Tiamat's magical energy was connected to the black mud and would be difficult to measure.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others withdrew while Ishtar prepared to attack Tiamat.
• Ishtar opened a gate to Venus, channeled its power into Maanna, and fired her Noble Phantasm at Tiamat.
• After the blast faded, Tiamat was no longer visible, but the black mud remained and bubbles rose from the sea.
• Roman warned that the real Beast II was coming, and a gigantic Tiamat rose from beneath the sea.
• Tiamat sang and looked northwest toward Uruk.

After Chaldea discovered that Tiamat’s power was nearing the level of a third-class planet, Roman warned that she would reach Uruk in one week. Gilgamesh planned to have Annanu use a storm to strip away Tiamat’s black mud while Enkidu held back Abzu below, hoping to bring both threats to Uruk at the same time.

• Roman reported Tiamat’s immense power and warned Fujimaru Ritsuka’s group to retreat as she began moving toward Uruk.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka rode back to Uruk with Zi Juan after their mission at the shore was complete.
• Gilgamesh learned that Tiamat and Abzu were each expected to reach Uruk in about a week.
• Gilgamesh reasoned that Tiamat needed the black mud to move and told Annanu to use his power as a storm to sweep it away.
• Annanu agreed to hold back Tiamat while Enkidu held back Abzu, and Gilgamesh trusted them to make the plan work.

As Tiamat advanced toward Uruk, Lemoni took Stheno, Euryale, and Anna away while Siduri chose to remain in the city with Gilgamesh. Annanu flew ahead of Fujimaru Ritsuka’s group toward Tiamat, where the wind began gathering around him.

• Lemoni carried Stheno on his shoulder and left with Euryale and Anna before Tiamat reached Uruk.
• Siduri refused Gilgamesh’s order to evacuate and declared that she would stay in Uruk as its governor and High Priestess.
• Gilgamesh accepted Siduri’s decision and said that they had both become symbols of Uruk.
• Fujimaru Ritsuka’s group spotted Annanu flying past them toward Tiamat, and Roman warned them to prepare for an impact.
• Ishtar sensed the wind gathering around Annanu as he called Tiamat “Mother.”
