On the surface of the Black Mud sea, the remains of Lahmu, crushed by the aftershocks of the battle between Kotori and Typhon, are continuously sinking into the depths of the black ocean.

Tiamat looked at the dead children.

In his cross-shaped pupils, his emotion shifted from Wrath to rage.

These children have just been born.

They hadn't even had a chance to learn how to survive in this world before they were killed by the two children in the sky who ignored them.

Tiamat was truly angry this time; her cross-shaped pupils burned with fury. She was going to teach those two disobedient children in the sky a lesson.

Tiamat's eyes flashed, and two purplish-red rays shot out from her pupils.

The first ray of light pointed directly at Typhon in the sky. The crimson beam struck the three-headed dragon's body, but was deflected by her hard scales.

Only a few shallow burn marks remained on the surface of the dragon scales, Typhon only felt a slight burning pain.

"Um?"

The second beam of light shot towards Kotori.

The beam of light struck Kotori's abdomen, burning a fist-sized hole in her Astral Dress, from which blood gushed.

But the injury was instantly repaired by the Flames of Regeneration; crimson flames erupted from the wound, healing the damaged tissue once more.

The effect is practically negligible.

"..."

Tiamat's cross-shaped pupils flickered.

But what happened next made her pupils contract.

Because she incurred the hostility of both Kotori and Typhon.

Kotori switched the Camael to cannon mode, pointing the cannon downwards at the blue-haired figure on the sea surface.

Immediately afterwards, a cannon shot was fired at Tiamat.

At the same time, all three of Typhon's dragon heads opened their mouths.

Three streams of purplish-red dragon breath erupted from the three dragon mouths, converging towards Tiamat.

The attacks from both the man and the dragon struck simultaneously.

Tiamat's body vanished instantly amidst the two attacks.

The explosion illuminated the entire sea area as if it were daytime, and the shockwave spread in all directions, creating a wall of water thousands of meters high on the sea surface.

Even the already unfolded Sea of Chaos was partially evaporated, turning into black steam that dissipated into the air.

The seawater within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was drained, exposing the rocks and silt on the seabed.

"..."

Typhon's three top leaders were all looking down.

He should be dead.

But only a moment later.

From the newly emerged Sea of Chaos, a body hundreds of times larger than before emerged.

It has a huge dragon-shaped body with a black background covered with crimson patterns, a head with huge curved horns, and a mouth with multiple serrated jaws.

The body continuously overflows with a black Sea of Life.

This is Tiamat's true form.

To be more precise, the entire Sea of Chaos is Tiamat's true form.

As long as this Black Mud exists, Tiamat cannot be destroyed.

The newly reborn Tiamat was no longer wearing the straitjacket-like clothing she had been wearing before, and her hands and feet could move freely.

At the same time, her enormous horns changed, and the back of the horns transformed into a structure resembling a propeller.

Purple magical flames erupted from the thrusters.

It flew up, carrying Tiamat's body with it.

Tiamat, the Earth Mother Goddess, actually left the Earth on her own initiative.

The Earth Mother is a concept of the earth itself. To leave the earth is to abandon the foundation of one's greatest power, which is normally an impossible thing to do.

But Tiamat did it.

Because her child was on top.

"..."

Typhon's three dragon heads all looked toward the enormous creature that was taking off.

"..."

Kotori had already taken action.

Faced with the newly appeared Tiamat, Kotori fired another shot without saying a word.

A crimson beam of light shot out from the cannon muzzle, heading straight for Tiamat's massive body.

The beam of light struck Tiamat in the chest, piercing right through her body.

A hole tens of meters in diameter was left in Tiamat's body.

But the wound was immediately repaired by Black Mud. Black mud gushed out from the edge of the wound, filled the hole, and then solidified into new body tissue.

Typhon then added another breath of dragonfire.

Crimson dragon breath spewed from the middle dragon's mouth, evaporating a small portion of Tiamat's new body.

But they still couldn't kill Tiamat.

The evaporated portion re-condenses from the Black Mud, restoring it to its original state.

"..."

"That Tiamat is like an unkillable cockroach."

"Never mind."

Typhon has once again set his sights on Kotori.

This time, she's going to go all out and eliminate both of these annoying people at once.

The dragon began to gather its power.

A deep humming sound began to emanate from the throats of the three dragon heads, and purple magical flames surged from the gaps in their scales.

In the Nasuverse, Typhon's essence is that of a divine beast that controls fire and wind.

Her most fundamental ability is to alter the world itself through her power.

The accumulation of power continues.

The purple flames grew brighter and more intense, turning the depths of the three dragon mouths into a blinding white-purple.

Kotori also felt the rapidly expanding power.

But she did not back down; instead, she charged toward Typhon with her giant cannon.

But it was too late.

Each of the three dragon heads emitted a purple beam of light dozens of times thicker than the previous dragon breath.

The three beams of light almost filled the entire space in Kotori's field of vision.

These three beams of light are not simply energy; Typhon intends to use her power to directly rewrite the fact that Kotori and Tiamat exist.

" The Dragon's Chalice of Void Return " (Typhon).

This is an EX-rank Anti-Star Noble Phantasm.

More accurately, it is Noble Phantasm capable of transforming planets.

Its greater power lies not in mere destruction, but in its ability to alter the very rules of the world.

Those struck by this beam of light will have their concepts rewritten, changing from "existing" to "never having existed."

Kotori suddenly and instinctively sensed a potentially fatal sense of crisis.

She immediately fired a shot at Typhon.

The crimson beam of light rushed towards the three purple beams of light.

The two forces collided in mid-air.

The crimson beam only neutralized a small portion of one of the beams before Kotori's body was completely engulfed by it.

After engulfing Kotori, the three purple beams continued forward and struck Tiamat.

Tiamat's massive dragon body began to disintegrate within the pillar of light.

Her scales, muscles, bones, and even her Spirit Origin were being conceptually erased.

Tiamat let out a final, mournful cry.

Then her body was conceptually erased completely; the current Tiamat is dead.

Typhon was not surprised by Tiamat's defeat.

That Noble Phantasm was originally designed with the goal of "conceptual annihilation".

What truly surprised Typhon was the anomaly that occurred on Kotori's side.

Typhon could sense that his transformative power had no effect on Kotori.

That's an EX-rank Anti-Star Noble Phantasm, with the power to rewrite the rules of the world.

It should be a guaranteed kill when used on a Servant.

"The physical damage caused by the beam alone is not enough to truly kill Kotori?"

Wait until the beam ends.

Typhon saw that most of Kotori's body had already been vaporized by the beam of light.

The remaining parts were also dilapidated, with traces of energy scorching everywhere.

Even the Spirit Core was shattered.

Only some fragments remained inside the body.

When a Servant's Spirit Core is shattered, it means they are completely dead.

There is no possibility of recovery.

"Now that should be enough..."
