With a solemn gesture towards the primordial goddess, Merlin brought their attention to the sky above, proclaiming, "Look up the sky, primordial sea; there you will behold the face of your own death." At that moment, amidst the chaotic battleground, a mysterious figure emerged, wielding a massive sword that gleamed ominously in the dim light. With an air of foreboding, the figure delivered a chilling message to those gathered around, proclaiming, "All that beings must come to an end, so too all that lives, dies, and finds value. Thy vaunted eternity is but a hollow slumber. Beast of disaster, evil born of mankind's folly, thy benevolence, which desired regression shows thy roots. Thou fallen god, to beasthood turn, if primordial mother be thy title, thou shall know mine. From the mountain abyss, I come; only death do I bring. I am the old man of the mountain, the first Hassan-i Sabbah."
At that precise instant, the mystical being underwent a mesmerising metamorphosis, shedding its earthly facade to reveal its genuine essence. In a breathtaking spectacle, its appearance shifted, as if the very fabric of reality was reshaping to unveil the creature's true form. The air was saturated with an otherworldly energy, crackling with the intensity of the transformation taking place. As witnesses beheld this extraordinary event, a sense of awe and wonder enveloped them, their senses heightened by the sheer magnitude of what unfolded before their eyes.
Fujimaru, Mash, and their companions stood in awe as they witnessed the unfolding events before them. The atmosphere crackled with tension as the mysterious figure, identified as the enigmatic Old Man of the Mountain, was no other than Ziusudra. At that moment, the primordial goddess directed a fierce attack towards the bringer of death, a resolute spirit emanated from the Old Man of the Mountain, as he calmly deflected the onslaught, his unwavering voice echoing with authority: "Touch not the skies, for by heavens will, will strip thy of thou wings." Initiating a breathtaking descent from the skies above, Ziusudra skillfully intercepted Tiamat's destructive force with a swift and precise motion, unveiling his formidable counterattack against the mighty goddess. The air crackled with magical energy as his powers clashed with the raw primal force of Tiamat, creating a dazzling spectacle of light and power that captivated all those who bore witness to the titanic clash. Fujimaru, Mash, and their companions felt the weight of history and destiny in that pivotal moment, realising that they were mere spectators to a timeless struggle between primordial beings that would shape the very fabric of the world.
The old man of the mountain stood steadfast, his weathered features etched with determination as he relentlessly unleashed his powerful attacks upon the primordial goddess. In that critical moment, the professor's voice rang out, a beacon of insight amid the chaos, informing Fujimaru and his stalwart companions that the beast had finally grasped the profound concept of death. Urgency gripped their hearts as they understood the fleeting opportunity that lay before them—the chance to vanquish the primordial goddess once and for all. With resolute courage, the valiant warriors synchronised their movements, summoning their inner strength to unleash a coordinated assault upon Tiamat without hesitation or delay.
Each strike reverberated through the tumultuous battlefield, a symphony of determination and defiance against the looming threat. The intensity of their combined attacks escalated with each passing moment, creating a tempestuous maelstrom of energy that enveloped the ancient goddess. Tiamat, once an indomitable force of nature, now found herself compelled to confront the inexorable grip of mortality as the realisation of her own mortality slowly dawned upon her.
Struggling against the onslaught, the primordial goddess began to inch her way towards the surface, her movements a stark reflection of her newfound understanding of the finite nature of existence. The earth trembled beneath her, a testament to the titanic struggle unfolding between the forces of life and death, creation and destruction.
While Fujimaru and his resolute companions persistently engaged in their relentless barrage of attacks towards the colossal entity Tiamat, who strove to ascend from the depths towards the surface world, the fearsome Goddess responded by releasing torrents of her primordial mud towards her adversaries. It was from this viscous mire that a new wave of the monstrous Lahmu emerged, born with an inherent loyalty to their mother's cause. With overwhelming ferocity, the newly spawned Lahmu launched their own offensive, targeting Fujimaru and his valiant allies, their objective clear: to clear a path for Tiamat's ascension to the world above.
In this critical juncture, as chaos ensued amidst the clash of wills and might, the divine goddess Ishtar, in her wisdom, issued a decisive command to Ereshkigal and the steadfast Fujimaru. They were tasked with a monumental mission—to pursue and confront Tiamat in her relentless quest for dominance. Meanwhile, Ishtar astutely assigned Merlin and the indomitable Mash the vital duty of containing the relentless onslaught of the ever-multiplying Lahmu, ensuring that Fujimaru and Ereshkigal could focus their efforts on halting Tiamat's inexorable advance.
As the intense battle raged on relentlessly, Merlin showcased a magnificent blend of both swordsmanship and magical prowess to swiftly dispatch a majority of the malevolent Lahmu foes. However, the resilient creatures persistently continued their onslaught, driven by the desperate desire to provide a formidable distraction for their mother's escape from the treacherous underworld. Sensing the escalating threat and understanding the gravity of the situation, Ziusudra issued a solemn warning to the group, declaring, "Approach these foes with caution; if these creatures truly be Tiamat's offspring, each commands power like unto a Demon God."
Just when despair threatened to overwhelm the valiant fighters, a sudden and unexpected presence disrupted the chaos of the battlefield. A mysterious figure emerged, descending from above with a cascade of razorsharp swords and lethal spears, effectively turning the tide of the conflict. As the group pivoted their attention towards the source of this newfound aid, their eyes beheld none other than King Gilgamesh himself, now manifesting as a heroic spirit infused with unparalleled strength. With a confident grin adorning his features, King Gilgamesh graciously introduced himself, revealing his noble purpose as he eagerly declared his commitment to lending a helping hand to his fellow warriors. "Fear not," he exclaimed, "for I am Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, and I have arrived to offer my assistance in this dire hour of need."
Fujimaru and his companions were overjoyed and filled with anticipation as they watched in amazement at the unexpected arrival of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, who had come to their rescue during their desperate battle against Tiamat. They marvelled at the sheer power and mastery displayed by Gilgamesh as he effortlessly summoned his Gate of Babylon and unleashed a torrent of swords and spears upon the approaching primordial goddess, effectively putting a halt to her destructive advance.
Despite the group's initial shock and disbelief, they couldn't help but be awestruck by the immense strength and determination shown by King Gilgamesh, who fearlessly stood his ground against the formidable Tiamat. As the battle reached a crucial turning point, Tiamat, in a last-ditch effort to overpower her adversaries, conjured a reality sphere around herself, causing the surrounding area to tremble and warp with her immense powers.
The mage explained the gravity of the situation to them, revealing that Tiamat's chilling display was none other than Nega-Genesis, a catastrophic event where the very fabric of the universe was at risk of being torn asunder. In a desperate attempt to overwrite the underworld to suit her needs. The group stood frozen in both awe and terror as they witnessed the raw, primal force of creation and destruction clashing before their very eyes.
While the primordial goddess, with her unparalleled power, unleashed the formidable force of Nega-genesis, the very fabric of the reality sphere started to witness a profound expansion within its intricate domain. Suddenly, as the cosmic energies shifted and the forces of creation danced in unison, a pivotal moment emerged when the Mistress of the Underworld, Ereshkigal, her presence commanding attention, stepped forth to take decisive action. Uttering ancient incantations imbued with the essence of primordial magic, she fervently began to weave a spell, a web of protection aimed at thwarting the relentless advance of Negagenesis. Her words echoed through the underworld, carrying the weight of ages past, she proclaimed. "A vast sea in the heavens and a prison upon the land, my heel is the wrath of kur itself. Appear, oh scorching shine. Kur Ki Gal Irkalla"
In that fateful instant, a palpable sense of tension filled the air as a sacred and luminous brilliance materialised, its radiance a poignant barrier that impeded the encroaching darkness of Nega-genesis. Ereshkigal, the enigmatic Mistress of the Underworld, turned towards King Gilgamesh and the wise Merlin, her eyes gleaming with ancient knowing, and imparted a solemn truth: that what transpired was but a temporary respite, a mere pause in the cosmic tapestry. To truly safeguard their world, they would have to confront the very essence of Tiamat herself.
The mage, Merlin, took it upon himself to elucidate to Fujimaru the intricate and perilous situation that had unfolded before them. With a sombre tone laced with urgency, Merlin detailed how the primordial goddess Tiamat sought to instigate a cataclysmic event by attempting to overwrite the very fabric of the underworld, bending it to her will in a malevolent bid to further her own inscrutable objectives.
As Merlin continued his explanation, his voice resonating with a mix of apprehension and resolve, he spoke of the dire consequences that would befall every heroic spirit ensnared within the enigmatic reality sphere constructed by Tiamat. Only the living, he emphasised, would be able to maintain their existence within this realm of distorted truths and shifting realities.
King Gilgamesh, interjected with a steely determination in his eyes, proclaiming his steadfast commitment to quelling the primordial goddess's rampage once and for all. Despite the overwhelming odds and the palpable sense of impending doom that hung in the air like a malevolent shroud, Gilgamesh's regal bearing and unwavering resolve inspired confidence in the hearts of his comrades, infusing them with a renewed sense of purpose and unity.
With the plan to confront Tiamat set in motion, the group sprang into action, each member steeling themselves for the coming ordeal with a mixture of apprehension and grim determination etched across their faces. Swords were drawn, incantations muttered under breath, and battle formations meticulously planned as they readied themselves to unleash a volley of coordinated attacks against the primordial goddess. Amidst the clamour of battle preparations, Fujimaru, the designated harbinger of their final assault, stood resolute, his gaze unwavering as he steeled himself to plunge deep into the heart of darkness itself, striking a blow that would determine the fate of all.
At that crucial moment, Fujimaru made a resolute decision to step into the daunting reality sphere, his brave resolve unwavering even as Mash and Merlin unleashed their awe-inspiring ultimate attacks to create a safe passage for him. Sensing the impending danger, the benevolent goddess Ereshkigal found herself at her breaking point. As the reality sphere ominously resumed its forward motion, the powerful mage Merlin initiated a mystical chant, invoking the forces of the cosmos with his spellbinding words, proclaiming, "From the stars of the inner sea and the tower of insight, from the four corners of paradise, let them know their stories filled with blessings." Only those free of sin may pass, Garden of Avalon."
Meanwhile, Mash, with a demeanour of unwavering determination, began her own incantations, declaring, "With my true name revealed, I stand in mid-disaster, that which heals all wounds and heals all grudges, glorious homeland, materialise." World Camelot" The convergence of Camelot and the Garden of Avalon through their synchronised attacks not only unveiled a mesmerising display of power but also paved the way for the gallant hero Fujimaru to venture into the enigmatic reality sphere, his comrades' support serving as a beacon of hope in the face of uncertainty.
