Kotori insisted on joining Tomoe Gozen and Ritsuka Fujimaru’s delegation to negotiate with Quetzalcoatl, despite the mission’s dangers. After traveling through the southern jungle, the group reached Eridu and found a cheerful, bustling city unlike the ominous headquarters they had expected.

• Tomoe Gozen told Kotori she was leaving for several days, and Kotori decided to come along because she could not cook for herself.
• Tomoe Gozen agreed to bring Kotori, and the next morning Ritsuka Fujimaru’s delegation departed Uruk with Kotori and Tomoe Gozen included.

• Ritsuka Fujimaru wondered whether Kotori was connected to the missing Mayuri because Fou favored Kotori and her Spirit Origin resembled Mayuri’s.
• The delegation arrived in Eridu and found a lively city filled with residents, vendors, children, and the aroma of food.

Ritsuka Fujimaru found that Quetzalcoatl's territory, Eridu, was a peaceful city, but discovered Ishtar bound to a stake in the central square. After Quetzalcoatl defeated the group without killing them, Ritsuka asked Kotori to send her to confront the goddess, and Kotori threw her toward Quetzalcoatl.

Ritsuka convinced Quetzalcoatl to make peace with Uruk, though Quetzalcoatl refused to help fight the Goddess of Demonic Beasts because of the Three Goddesses Alliance's pact. Afterward, Ritsuka freed Ishtar, who angrily confronted Quetzalcoatl for tying her up.

Ritsuka’s group freed Amakusa Shirou and arranged to bring Marduk’s Hand Axe back to Uruk with Quetzalcoatl’s help. They set off by pterosaur with Ishtar, Amakusa, and Quetzalcoatl joining them, leaving Eridu behind with the giant axe in tow.

• Ritsuka and Quetzalcoatl led the group to Eridu’s dungeon, where Ritsuka freed Amakusa Shirou, who said Jaguar Man had fed him during his confinement.

• Ritsuka Fujimaru reported the group's success to Gilgamesh, who praised them and announced a banquet for every Servant in Uruk.

• Gorgon lay injured in her temple, unable to heal the charred wounds left by Kotori's flames.

Kingu used Solomon’s Holy Grail to heal Gorgon, who then summoned a host of Greek monsters, including a mysterious girl that made the other beasts recoil. The next morning, Ritsuka Fujimaru and her allies flew toward Gorgon’s temple to attack, sensing powerful magical energy as they approached.

• Kotori transformed into Astral Dress: Elohim Gibor, preparing to fight Typhon and protect Tomoe Gozen.

After Merlin vanished, Ritsuka Fujimaru and her companions learned that Beast II, Tiamat, had awakened and was the Seventh Singularity’s true final enemy. As they returned to Uruk to warn Gilgamesh, Chaldea detected the Beast’s manifestation, and Ana revealed that the mysterious being fighting Kotori was Typhon.

Kotori recovered from Typhon’s planet-level attack, while Tiamat was reborn after her conceptual death, leaving the three powerful beings unable to kill one another as the Chaos Tide spread.
