Ishtar's long-prepared Noble Phantasm caused considerable damage to Tiamat. During the process of falling to the underworld, Tiamat's injuries could no longer heal automatically.
"Boom!"
Tiamat's huge body hit the open square specially prepared by Airei, and Mash and Fujimaru, who were entangled together, also fell down after them.
Mashu reluctantly placed the big shield in front of him, preparing for a hard landing.
"Senior! I can't see clearly the environment below. I'm afraid we have to make an emergency landing. Please hold on tight!"
"No need to bother."
A soft female voice sounded in the darkness, and Fujimaru and Mashu, who were falling rapidly, suddenly felt light on their bodies.
The earth's gravity suddenly disappeared from them, and their eyes could see clearly in the darkness.
"This is……"
"Hmph~"
A pretty blond woman wearing a black robe and holding a strange-shaped double-headed gun looked at Fujimaru with her head held high.
"This is the special power I have in the underworld. I will give it to you temporarily. Thank me!"
Except for her hair color, this beautiful woman has exactly the same appearance as Ishtar... in fact, she also has Rin's body.
She is the mistress of Hades in Sumerian mythology, the twin sister of Ishtar, Ereshkigal, or Aile for short.
"ah!!"
Without much time for greetings, Tiamat fell to the ground from a high altitude and let out a shrill scream. She struggled to get up from the ground and used her power as the Earth Mother Goddess to heal her injuries.
But nothing happened.
Tiamat can no longer use her power to heal herself, and the wounds caused by the bombardment of Ishtar's Noble Phantasm remain intact.
"I'm sorry, mother."
Tiamat was the creator of all Sumerian gods, including Ereshkigal.
Using the power of the underworld to seal Tiamat into a small area, Ai Lei looked a little sad.
"It's no longer your time, so let me take the last step for you."
Several purple-red double-headed spears formed a magic circle in the square, and Tiamat was shrouded in the center of the magic circle.
"Bah!"
Airei can exert her greatest strength in the underworld, and even the arrogant Ishtar has no power to fight back when facing Airei in the underworld.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Tiamat let out a miserable roar under the attack of divine power released by the magic circle. She lay on the ground in pain and could not stand up again.
The wounds on Tiamat's body are growing rapidly. Without the restoration of the power of the God of Creation, it seems that she has no power to fight back in front of the mistress of the underworld.
Ai Lei also confidently declared victory to Fujimaru: "The underworld is my territory, and I make the rules here."
"Even Tiamat, the goddess of creation, cannot exert her true abilities after falling into the underworld."
"Just let me complete the last... step of the chain plan?"
Ailee, who controls the underworld, is very sensitive to everything that happens in this world. Tiamat, who should have been defenseless, suddenly stopped screaming, and her body was undergoing strange changes.
Tiamat, who had been standing in a suspended position before, now lies on all fours, her legs and hands bound by herself being automatically untied, and some parts of her body are gradually becoming horny.
"Ouch!!!"
The roar with a changed tone dispersed the magic circle arranged by Ailei, and immeasurable magic power spurted out at once. Black mud began to appear under her body again... no, red mud.
Different from the previous relatively neutral Sea of Life, this time the blood-red viscous liquid gave Fujimaru and Mashu a sense of visceral fear.
Only then did Romani's panicked prompts sound from the magic: "Tiamat's spiritual base has begun to return to the age of gods! The scale of the magic furnace heart has been greatly expanded, and the damage caused by Ishtar and Ereshkigal is being repaired at a high speed.
."
Tiamat's body has undergone a huge transformation from her previous human form. Her hands and feet have turned into beast-like claws, and her delicate face has become ferocious and terrifying. The only thing that remains unchanged is the iconic pair of
star eyes.
"The transformation of the dragon's body is completed, the tide of chaos is coming!"
After a moment's delay, Lu Xiao and the other two people rushed to the scene and saw this scene. Tiamat, who was on all fours, looked up to the sky and let out an animalistic howl.
"Ouch!!"
The blood-red tide of chaos rushed towards Fujimaru and the others under the control of Tiamat. Lu Xiao, who was still some distance away from the three of them, had no time to rescue them.
At the critical moment, the surging tide of chaos suddenly stopped in mid-air. Countless pink flowers replaced the tide of chaos, and harmless petals fell on the heads of Fujimaru and the three people who looked desperate.
Ai Lei, who had never seen flowers before, caught one of them in astonishment: "What are these?"
Fujimaru looked at the flowers in his hand thoughtfully: "Flowers? Could it be!"
"Ha~ha~ha!"
Proud laughter came from the heads of Lu Xiao and the others, and a shadow in a white robe was falling rapidly from high in the sky.
"The reliable big brother finally rushed in at the last moment... Boo!"
Before the man who landed from the sky finished his pretentious opening lines, Arturia's body was already subconsciously moving.
As this person with a frivolous tone fell from her side, she punched him out of habit, hitting him in the abdomen, completely destroying his handsome entrance ceremony.
"Plop!"
After falling to the ground awkwardly, the man in white robe struggled to stand up from the ground, seemingly unhurt.
"It hurts! Arturia, you are still so violent, aren't you surprised to see me?"
When Fujimaru and Mashu saw each other's appearance clearly, they immediately exclaimed: "Merlin?!"
"Uh?! Merlin?"
Romani, who was far away in Chaldea, also shouted in disbelief: "Why did Merlin appear here! Could someone have summoned him again... No, it's impossible!"
"Hmph~"
Merlin puffed up his chest proudly: "Stop guessing, I am the real Merlin, I just ran over from Avalon in a hurry."
"run?!"
Lu Xiao and Arturia also landed next to Merlin at this time. Lu Xiao rolled up his dead fish eyes and complained: "Stop talking nonsense, you came out through the passage of Fairy Lake, right? It's a shame Vivian didn't take you
Sealed into the oak tree again."
"Uh~"
Merlin's expression stiffened for a moment: "Haha~ let's ignore this topic for now, we have more important things to do."
Arturia looked at Merlin with disdain: "Changed the subject, you are still as shameless as ever."
Although I really wanted to ask Merlin how he persuaded Vivian to sneak out, now is really not the right time.
Ai Lei looked at the flowers covering the ground of the underworld in surprise: "There are actually so many flowers in my underworld, and the erosion of the power of the underworld by Tiamat's tide of chaos is gradually weakening under the spread of these flowers!
"
Lu Xiao pulled out the Sword of Origin from his waist and jumped off Artoria's horse.
"Don't be in a daze! Get ready for battle!"
Tiamat, who had regained her beastly form, had recovered from her injuries and was on all fours, slapping the ground and approaching the crowd.
Although Lu Xiao pretended to be ready on the surface, he knew that the existing manpower could not cause fatal damage to the returning beast.
'Alaya and Gaia, you two, please don't let your guard down at this time. It's time to release the crowned heroic spirits that are specially designed to fight beasts, right?'
