Time flies by, and days pass in just a blink of an eye.
In this era of crumbling buildings, in this world that is separated from the normal timeline, some people feel that time passes too slowly, while others feel that time passes too fast, but no matter what, it is finally here. On this day——
No matter how beautiful it is, what is gone is gone after all.
No matter how cruel it is, what is coming is still coming.
The old world will be destroyed in flames, and a new era will sprout from the ashes. This moment is the decisive farewell. If we cannot cross over, the human race will become history... No, not even history. will remain, because all human principles have been burned to the ground.

"In order to resist the Gorgon's desperate counterattack, all the remaining troops have been assembled on the north wall of Uruk, so you don't have to worry about the rear, and don't be distracted. Concentrate on attacking the Gorgon's lair and accurately pierce the location. The Blood Temple in the underground lake deep in the Cedar Forest."
The time was midnight.
The location was on a long defensive line.
Gilgamesh looked at the cedar forest in the distance. The long forest had a hazy outline under the night, and he said this.
"That place is very troublesome. I flew there many times to take a look, but found that it was impossible to get in there, at least not for humans."
The goddess Ishtar, who habitually sat on her God's Boat and floated above the defense line, pouted.
"It's not so much a temple as it is a "fortress-like mountain." There is a cavity in a hill. She built a nest in the cavity, just like an ant. The entrance of the cave is also covered with a barrier. Getting inside is no less difficult than conquering a city. "
She had never joined the Three Goddess Alliance, and she had watched monsters pour out of the fir forest several times to attack Uruk. This made her, the city god of Uruk, very unhappy, so she also flew over several times secretly. This is a reconnaissance situation, and I want to see if there is an opportunity to reciprocate.
But I really couldn’t find a chance, and I was so angry that I had no choice but to fly to Uruk from time to time. I clamored to attack Uruk all day long, and bombarded the beasts on the ground...
But there was nothing she could do about it. At that time, she just couldn't deal with Uruk, and she couldn't save face at all. Of course, she had to use the excuse of attacking Uruk - and Gilgamesh's palace was also bombed in one day. Three times, isn't this an attack?
Although in the end even the guarding soldiers got used to it...
In response to the question raised by Ishtar, Gilgamesh remained calm: "Let's use the Ax of Marduk to deal with that. That ax should be able to destroy the Blood Temple and open up the way inside... We spent so much time It took a lot of effort to transport that ax back from the southern city just to put it to use at this time."
"What does this have to do with you? It's obviously the leopard man who's tired, right?"
Ishtar said in a mocking tone.
Obviously, in this matter, Uruk did not exert any strength at all. It was necessary to carry the giant axe, which was dozens of meters long and like a hill, from the southern city of Eridu all the way over the mountains. The task of transporting it back was completely handled by the leopard man.
"Ah, um, actually it doesn't matter, don't be polite, just send her around as much as you like~"
Next to her is a goddess who looks like a cheerful big sister and laughs. She has a slender figure, flaming blond hair, green eyes, and a beautiful crown decorated with feathers on her head. Everything has a South American feel.
It is Quetzalcoatl, the goddess of the southern jungle, Quetzalcoatl in Aztec mythology.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and others went to the southern city a few days ago. While trying to figure out a way to transport the Ax of Marduk, they also met her by the way. I don’t know what happened, but it seemed to be recognized by the goddess. . She had promised to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so she decisively followed the Chaldean group back.
Now she is negotiating with everyone about the next combat agreement.
"But having said that, that ax is still too heavy and too big. How can we transport it to the fir forest? My pterosaur can't fly fast enough. It will probably be knocked down by Warcraft during transportation, and if it is discovered in advance, , Gorgon will be on guard..."
The Quetzalcoatl was not too worried about the life and death of the leopard man responsible for transportation, but he was doubtful about how to use this ax in combat.
The ax handle is tens of meters long, and the ax blade is like a heavenly door. It is a divine weapon that weighs hundreds of tons. In today's era, no one can use it normally. Just transporting it back from the southern city took so much effort.
"Then just throw it over. You can always do this, right? The goddess of South America..." Gilgamesh looked at Quetzalcoatl.
"The distance from the north wall to the temple is about thirty kilometers, right? Indeed, it can be done by throwing..."
Quetzalcoatl stood on the defense line, looked at the fir forest over there from a distance, estimated the distance between here and the destination through his breath sensor, and then nodded slowly. Although she couldn't use the giant ax freely, she could just throw it over.
She didn't say anything about being unable to attack the Blood Temple. Although as a pillar of the Three Goddess Alliance, once she violated the oath of "not attacking each other", the violating goddess was destined to be destroyed... But now the covenant has long been In name only, a certain immortal had tampered with their contract.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Moreover, even if the alliance is still there, this goddess probably won't care so much. Since she no longer needs to be in the alliance, but stands on the side of mankind openly, then she can definitely do it. To the extent that he would kill Gorgon even if he committed suicide!
Cut off the opponent's head and tear out the opponent's heart! After helping Renli solve this problem, there is no problem in being eliminated himself.
"Hey, can this, this kind of thing be done?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked surprised. She had also seen the size of that giant ax with her own eyes. It was so huge and heavy. Would it be a bit embarrassing to throw it thirty kilometers away?
Okay, maybe it’s really difficult…
But if the person in trouble is not a person, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
After some conversation, the specific tactics were quickly determined. Merlin followed the Chaldean group and gave instructions at the appropriate time. Then Quetzalcoatl threw the giant ax in the direction of the signal, and also There is no need to be too precise, the ax will automatically find its way and fly to the signal position.
"What follows is a decisive battle in the literal sense. I believe you all know that after Gorgon is defeated, it may be the end of the world of Mesopotamia... Once Uruk is destroyed, the foundation of human ethics will be Completely disintegrate, the singularity will be burned out, and your Chaldea will disappear in the whirlpool of flames."
Gilgamesh waved his hand vigorously——
"If you don't want this to happen, just struggle until the last moment! Follow this plan and start taking action as soon as dawn tomorrow morning. The fate of the north wall is at stake here! Before morning comes, you all have to work hard. Get some rest!"
"Then let's go back to the embassy to sleep now... Uh, why isn't Senior Gu Mo here?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded. The battle was coming soon. Before that, she naturally had to adjust her condition as much as possible. Fortunately, this was already the seventh singular point. She had also honed her corresponding big heart and rough nerves. Otherwise, , I guess I can’t sleep at all.
But at this time, she suddenly discovered a strange situation. It seemed that a key figure was absent from this important combat meeting.
Other than that, everyone else was present. Even Ushiwakamaru, Tomoe Gozen, Amakusa Shiro and others were listening quietly around, looking calm and at ease.
"That person has other important matters and needs to stay here in Uruk to deal with them. He can't go with you, but there is no need for him to go out. Don't tell me that you are already so prepared and you can't get another one. Gorgon..." Gilgamesh said calmly.
Although Quetzalcoatl wanted to stay here to resist the crazy counterattack of the beasts, and he also had to pay attention to the signal at all times and be ready to throw the giant ax over, so he could not set off with him.
But Ishtar will go with her. Although this goddess is off the hook, and it was discovered during the previous discussion that she had lost all the bulls in the sky, at least her strength is enough to cope with the occupation. The gold of Enkidu's body.
Merlin and Anna will also follow, as well as Tomoe Gozen, Ushiwakamaru and other servants who are not suitable for defensive battles. They will not stay at the north wall defense line to waste their strength, but will follow the team to attack... In addition, the Ax of Marduk can definitely severely damage Gorgon, and as long as the Blood Temple is destroyed, her functions will be reduced.
In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"There are other important matters..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in understanding. Although she didn't know what was going on, it must be very important. Maybe it was to prepare for the next God Tiamat?
Thinking of the inevitable final disaster, the enemy she faced was the divine body of the primitive world, she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency deep in her heart. This nervous emotion seemed to become stronger all of a sudden. It was obvious that she had just I haven't felt this way yet.
But think about it now...
She felt like a hand was grabbing her stomach. It was hard to describe the uncomfortable and tense feeling.
"Okay, senior, let's go back and rest first." Matthew said, "There is still some time before tomorrow morning, so we can't do it without getting enough sleep."
People need to sleep, and servants also need to rest. In order to ensure the fierce battle that follows, everyone must recharge their batteries and stay in the best condition.
"Yes." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, then shook his head, trying to clear away the thoughts in his mind, turned around and followed Mashu, preparing to leave the defense line and go to the embassy to have a good rest.
"Hey, Miss Ishtar, do you want to come with us too?"
Mashu asked slightly surprised when he saw a certain goddess getting off her boat and following him and others.
"Let's come together..." The black-haired girl nodded and waved her hands listlessly, "Anyway, from midnight to midnight these days, when I fall asleep, I always seem to leave the temple and run to you without knowing it. Go, I don’t know what’s going on…”
"Is there such a thing?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, and then looked slightly weird as if he remembered something.
The goddess didn't notice, she just raised a small white hand and looked at it, slightly confused——
"Huh? Could it be that this body can still sleepwalk?"
